At the beginning, the Imagawa Army, who were in front-line chaos, did not realize what the Oda Army wanted to do. Instead, they felt lucky that the Oda Ashigaru no longer attacked them. Until they realized that the Oda Army was under the leadership of Oda Nobunaga.
Get off and head straight for Imagawa Yoshimoto's horse seal!
"Block him! Block them!" The Hatamoto warriors of the Imagawa family shouted one after another. However, because they already knew Yu Qiuping's battle plan, everyone did not actively stop them. Instead, they relied on the camps and big trees on both sides of the road.
, rocks, avoiding the attack of the Oda army. Oda Nobunaga was not aware of the danger in front of him. Instead, he thought that the Imagawa army had lost the confidence to resist. He yelled and galloped on the battlefield, whipping his whip, towards Imagawa Yoshimoto's attack.
Ma Yin rushed away.
The ashigaru and samurai of the Imagawa Army who were blocking the front line of Oda Nobunaga and Imagawa Yoshimoto saw the menacing Oda Army and dispersed to both sides, as if waves were split by rocks. Until the horse mark.
Getting closer and closer to Oda Nobunaga, even the lines on the wings of the red bird flag are clearly visible.
The situation was chaotic, and the Imagawa army was scattered in all directions, so that there were not many people under the Red Bird Army.
Under the military banner, only a few dozen banner warriors were seen surrounding a sedan and escaping toward the rear.
"Imagawa Yoshimoto! Take your life!" Maeda Toshiie, who was rushing at the front, shouted and took the lead in riding his horse to hit him. The big red gun in his hand struck down with great force from the upper left to the lower right, and all of a sudden he was struck down.
The Imagawa samurai who was blocking the road in front of him was chopped into pieces. The other two samurai who tried to fight were also knocked down by their horses. At this moment, the other two samurai who got in position in time stabbed Maeda Toshiie with one sword each.
Immediately, the war horse neighed and lay helplessly on the ground. Maeda Toshiie was also thrown off his horse. Several other warriors from the surrounding women's clothing rushed up and swung their swords to help Maeda Toshiie block the fatal knife. At this time, another
The Oda Army's Ashigaru also fought with dozens of Hatamoto samurai around Imagawa Yoshimoto. The Imagawa Army's Hatamoto samurai were outnumbered in time, but they still shouted for a fierce battle and refused to retreat.
While the Imagawa family's maids were desperately resisting, the curtain of the sedan was suddenly opened, and then, a man in gorgeous court clothes, surrounded by several other maids, fled toward the rear in a hurry.
"Imagawa Yoshimoto is going to run! Imagawa Yoshimoto is going to run!" Ikeda Hengxing saw Imagawa Yoshimoto at a glance, and hurriedly shouted loudly and rushed towards Imagawa Yoshimoto. The surrounding Oda family's women's clothing and horsemen all gave up fighting.
The enemy troops in front of them were entangled, but they fought and walked away, covering the friendly cavalry in the middle of the road and rushing straight towards Imagawa Yoshimoto's location.
At this time, several of Imagawa Yoshimoto's horsemen were trying to help Imagawa Yoshimoto onto the horse, but the large court clothes became a fatal burden at this time. Imagawa Yoshimoto tried several times but failed to get on the horse, and Ikeda Tsune
Xing Que had already led his men to kill him.
"Turn around and attack!" One of the horse warriors who looked like a leader ordered sternly with red eyes. The few remaining horse warriors turned around and fought hard, but were still quickly submerged in the torrent of the Oda army, but this also gave Imagawa
Yoshimoto bought time to escape. At this time, other Hatamoto samurai also realized that the target of the Oda army was the governor himself, and surrounded him from all directions. Imagawa Yoshimoto also staggered and ran towards his camp. Seeing Ori
Tian Jun will lose his opportunity.
At that critical moment, Imagawa Yoshimoto suddenly tripped over his large court clothes! Sasanagi Masa, who was following closely behind, jumped up on his horse and slashed with his sword, directly hitting Imagawa Yoshimoto on the back.
.Blood instantly sprayed out from his back, dyeing the snow-white court clothes red. Imagawa Yoshimoto struggled to get up, but was unable to move because of the wound on his back. The Imagawa family samurai who rushed nearby rushed to the rescue, but were rushed to the rescue shortly after.
The Oda family's women's clothes blocked the outer circle, and they had to watch helplessly——
Imagawa Yoshimoto was decapitated by Sasaki Namasa. The white face covered with powder was now stained red by donated blood. The two ink marks above the eyes were slightly deformed, as if he was crying, and as if he was crying.
He mocked the approaching Oda army. The blood from his neck suddenly sprayed on the ground after the rain.
Sasana Narimasa excitedly got off his horse, shouted wildly, and put Imagawa Yoshimoto's head on the tip of the knife. The Oda Ashigaru, who had fought so hard, immediately fell into ecstasy, and the Oda Ashigaru who did not participate in the battle raised their hands.
weapons, cheering, praying, and thanking God for this victory.
"Imagawa Yoshimoto has been captured by our army, Sasanagi Masa!" Oda Nobunaga rushed forward, cut down Imagawa Yoshimoto's horse seal with a knife, and roared, "You guys! Please surrender if you don't kneel down!"
"You guys! Why don't you kneel down and ask for surrender!" The Oda family ashigaru also shouted wildly, as if victory was right in front of them.
However, to everyone's surprise, there was a change in expression on the faces of all the Imagawa ashigaru around them. But it was not panic or confusion, but a kind of faint sadness and a feeling of respect for the great samurai.
kind of admiration and respect.
The Ashigaru members of the Imagawa family, who were panicked just now, retreated one after another. Under the command of the generals and subordinates, they formed a formation and waited quietly on both sides of the road.
He didn't panic because his coach was killed, nor did he rush in desperately to take back the head because his master was killed. Instead, he just silently stared at the low-lying corridor, with the Oda army carrying the leader of Imagawa Yoshitsune in the middle.
"Imagawa Osamu is dead! Why don't you kneel down and ask for surrender!" Oda Nobunaga was a little panicked for a moment, and he once again yelled to cover up his inner uneasiness.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Suddenly, three drums sounded from behind the hilly slope to the east and south of Tianraku Hazama. Immediately afterwards, another red bird military flag and a sedan were sent up surrounded by many troops of the Sena family.
He reached the top of the hillside and looked down at the Oda army in the narrow space of Tianraku. The air suddenly became quiet, and the sounds of fighting on the battlefield, the shouts of the Oda army, and the clash of swords all stopped for a moment.
"That's—" Sena Ujitoshi's voice came from the other side of the hillside, breaking the tranquility above the battlefield.
The eight hundred soldiers of the Sena family stood on the hillside, took a deep breath, and shouted in unison: "Shadow-Martial-Zer!"
"Oops!" The Oda army was shocked, as if they fell from the top of the mountain into the abyss. The joy of victory suddenly turned into unprecedented fear and panic. All the strange actions of the Imagawa family were also explained. What happened before
The resistance was so sloppy, all for the purpose of luring the Oda family deeper into Okehazama. And the one who was killed was only Imagawa Yoshimoto's stand-in, so naturally the subordinates would not panic. If a stand-in was arranged here, it means that the Imagawa family
Even from the very beginning, the surprise attack of the Oda family had been planned - Okehazama's main formation was just a trap! But Yoshimoto Imagawa himself was at the top of the hill at this time!
As soon as he finished speaking, Sena Ujitoshi's flag waved violently. The 200 archers on the top of the slope immediately bent their bows and started shooting towards the bottom of the valley. The rain of arrows came towards their faces. The Oda family's troops were caught off guard and were hit many times at once. The samurai's defense was good, and their arrows would not cause too much damage. However, the inferior armors such as bamboo hemp armor and cotton armor worn by the ashigaru could not stop the archers' condescending shots.
"Your Highness! Escape quickly! It's really a trap! We've fallen into a trap!" Maeda Toshiie held up a piece of armor and stood in front of Oda Nobunaga's horse to help him cover his arrows, while he hurriedly advised him.
"Your Highness, if we don't withdraw now, we will be doomed!" Kawajiri Hidetaka stepped forward and said hurriedly: "If the main formation here is just a trap, then Narumi City's troops will definitely cut off our back after we burn down the three rock fortresses. Road! We have no way to retreat!"
"There is still a chance!" Chang Zhizheng suggested in a panic: "You can return to the ancient ferry through the path north of here! Although the army may not be spared, I am willing to fight to the death to protect the Lord!"
"Fight to the death! Protect the lord!" The surrounding horsemen and women in uniform also leaned forward and shouted. Arrows were still coming in waves, and many ashigaru were shot because they were unprepared. More People scattered in search of cover. In order to charge before, the archers of the Oda family were left at the back of the team. At this time, there were still many people blocked outside the Okehazama Hills, unable to enter for support.
Oda Nobunaga held Hasebe Kunishige tightly in his hand, his eyes were red, and his whole body was trembling as he looked at the proud red bird flag on the mountain and the sedan next to the flag. He understood that everything was going to end. .Completely fell into the trap of Imagawajibu, the army will not be spared, and the Furuno Castle and Qingshu Castle cannot even gather the troops to guard. The local tyrants and wealthy families from all over the country will surely surrender to the rule of the Imagawa family and the Oda family like the wind. Will fall apart.
It's over.
Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, as if he had found a life-saving straw in a desperate situation!
"Are you afraid of death?" Oda Nobunaga suddenly shouted.
"Don't be afraid!" the surrounding Mahui and Muyi people responded subconsciously.
"Louder! I can't hear you!" Oda Nobunaga roared again.
"Don't be afraid!" This time, more Oda family warriors shouted in unison.
"Louder!" Oda Nobunaga reined in his horse excitedly, and the horse stood up and let out a shrill neigh.
"Don't be afraid!" Several hundred Oda family ashigaru and samurai warriors from the front army shouted loudly!
"Although there are Kagemusha in the administration, there are only a few hundred people like Sena Shitoshi around him now! So what if there is an ambush? There is nothing to be afraid of!" The moment Oda Nobunaga's horse's front hooves hit the ground, he was stunned. Clamping the horse's belly, he led his men to rush towards the horse's mark on the hillside, "If you are not afraid of death, come back with me! Kill Zhibu!"
Oda Nobunaga's roar seemed to rekindle the sluggish morale of the Oda army. Everyone also realized that although they were ambushed, as long as they fought hard, they still had a chance to capture Imagawa Yoshimoto himself!
"Kill!" The Oda troops roared in response to their lord's arrogance. The Oda troops once again filed forward and rushed towards Imagawa Yoshimoto's horse seal and sedan chair!
On the other side of the hill, Amakihei was looking at Oda Nobunaga with his mouth open, and he ran headlong into Sena Ujitoshi's position.
Chapter completed!
