Chapter 415 Kyoto 12
Before eight o'clock, the Sanhao family occupied Yinyu Mountain. Sanhao Changqing himself climbed to the top of Yinyu Mountain and looked down at the overall situation from a high place.
"It's great to have such a high ground to provide a view, and the entire battlefield is clear." San Haochangqing smiled and sighed to An Zai Dongkang next to him.
"There seems to be some troubles in the fourth brother." Anzawa Dongkaya pointed to the ferry near Yachuan. Tokawa Yishen fought hard for a long time and finally broke through the defense of the Eagle and crossed Yachuan. However, on the plain east of Yachuan, the time the more than 10,000 main forces of the coalition forces relied on the Eagle and Beijian had basically restored their establishment and combat effectiveness.
"It's okay. Use our vision properly and suppress the attacks condescendingly. Our troops and fourth brother can defeat them all by cooperating with our fourth brother." Sanhao Changqing turned his head indifferently and looked towards the direction of Nanchan Temple: "It's easy to defeat them, but we don't have many cavalry, so it's difficult to annihilate them."
"So my brother plans to set up Nanchan Temple, control the passage between Yinyu Mountain and Dawenzi Mountain, and block the retreat of the coalition forces?" An Zhai Dongkang realized Sanhao Changqing's intention and asked tentatively.
"That's right." Sanhao Changqing narrowed his eyes and looked at the banner in Nanchan Temple, "The maple bird flag is the red leaves of the rain autumn? He should only have 8oo soldiers, right?"
"Brother remembers it well. It seems that he is also using the idea of keeping cards on this." An Zhai Dongkang made a low joke, which made San Hao Changqing laugh.
"Okay, then I'll give an order." Miyo Changqing waved to the messenger behind him, "Let Masayasu and Murachijima take 2ooo people to defeat Nanchan Temple. I personally took 5ooo people down the mountain to attack the main force of the coalition with my fourth brother."
"Third brother, stay on Yinyu Mountain." Sanhao Changqing then patted An Zai Dongkang's shoulder and whispered.
"Don't brother need me to participate in the attack on the coalition forces together? Will the troops be insufficient?" An Zhai Dongkang frowned and reminded in a low voice.
"No, my 5ooo soldiers are enough. When I arrived on the battlefield, third brother, you will look down at the coalition forces' battle formation. When there is any flaw, immediately use a flag or a messenger to remind me or the fourth brother." Sanhao Changqing shook his sleeves confidently, and then looked at the direction of Nanchan Temple with some fun eyes: "Also, second brother repeatedly reminded us to be careful of the red leaves of the rain and autumn. In addition to the premonition of the uncertainty, that boy seems to have a good defense. Please pay more attention."

At the beginning of Shen Shi, the coalition position.
"Lord, something is not good." Danyu Nagahide watched the three-go family's nails and patterns penetrated the entire Yinyu Mountain, and his face was pale at this moment. "The high ground is occupied by them, and his vision is suppressed. If the three-go family is condescending to kill from the mountain, how should we resist?"
"The rear road is also dangerous." Sakuma Nobumo also pointed to the direction of Nanchan Temple in the distance, "Looking at the banner there, it is probably Yuqiu Hongye. He only has 80 people in his hands, so he can't stop the Sanhao family. We should retreat to the southeast immediately!"
Before the two finished speaking, the Sanhao family drove down Yinyu Mountain in order to echo what they said. They headed straight for them, and the other way they went to attack Nanchan Temple.
On the west side of the coalition, Ichizumi Tokawa, who followed all the way, immediately launched a fierce attack to cooperate with Miho Changqing who killed from Yinyu Mountain. Miho Changqing's own team and Sankizumi Tokawa Ichizumi were the two most powerful troops in the Miho family's army. At this moment, the main force of the coalition was attacked by these two troops on the plains of Yinyu Mountain.
The coalition forces fought hard for a day, and the establishment was a little chaotic. When facing the attack of the main force of the Miyo Army who had been storing their strength for a whole morning, it was difficult to resist. Nobunaga Oda had never commanded so many soldiers to fight together, and the command was in a hurry. In order to deal with Miyo Nagao Kei's attack, he ordered the Oda family's troops to turn, but accidentally disrupted the formation of the Asai Army, which was resisting the Sanqi people. Tokawa Ichimura seized the opportunity and broke through the Asai family's defense line from multiple sections. Nobunaga Oda had no choice but to draw Ninoha Nagahide and Takigawa Ichii to help Asai Nagamasa maintain the front line. However, when the Oda family's troops faced the impact of Miyo Nagao Kei's troops who rushed down from Tonoha Mountain, they also retreated step by step.
The authorities are confused and the bystanders are clear. The commanders on the battlefield find it difficult to immediately see fleeting loopholes in the formation. However, standing on Yinyu Mountain, Anzai Dongkashi, who has a God's perspective, is different. Whenever the coalition forces break or collapse when dispatching and retreating, he will immediately wave the flag to signal Mihao Changqing and Tokawa Yishu. The two will order their cavalry to attack quickly at these fractures, which will bring great risks to the coalition forces' front.
The coalition had more than 10,000 troops, but due to the unfavorable terrain, it encountered two attacks. Moreover, Oda Nobunaga's own command ability was far inferior to the two generals, Ichizumi Tokawa and Miyoshi Nagaki, so the coalition was defeated and retreated one after another.
The pursuit of the Sanhao Army seemed to be quite skillful, and they were consciously forcing the coalition to the north. The northwards of the coalition, the further away from their retreat route, Nanchan Temple! The members of the coalition were aware of this situation and were trying hard to retreat to the east. However, under the pressure of the Sanhao Army, they seemed to be unable to do so. More and more troops were defeated due to the broken front line, and the coalition was already out of reach.
·
However, the dilemma faced by the Sanhao family troops attacking Nanchan Temple is no less than the main force of the coalition forces.
Yu Qiuping divided the 24O troops into three parts. Fukushima Ansei and Charlie each brought 4O auxiliary soldiers, two bow and arrow platoons and two foot platoons to defend the two bastions behind Nanchan Temple. Yu Qiuping commanded 8O auxiliary soldiers, six foot platoons and two iron cannon platoons to defend Nanchan Temple. After the fortifications were completed, the excess auxiliary soldiers were beaten back to the Yamakoto camp by Yu Qiuping.
"I'm going? It's so strange!" Miho Masahiro was sitting behind the formation at this moment, asking two guards to help him deal with the wounds on his arm. He swore that this was the strangest position he had ever attacked in the years of war.
That was a reinforced temple, with two small rock forts in the shape of "子" behind him, but they were particularly unsatisfied when fighting. Every time he attacked a section of the courtyard wall, he not only encountered frontal resistance, but also had people attacked on the side and back, causing the attacking foot to be attacked by the enemy and unable to adapt. Chang Panbei's long-range attacks were varied, including iron cannons, bows and arrows, javelins and even stones. He was not stabbed by the javelins in his command, so he simply had excellent armor and did not hurt his bones.
He fought for a while and found something wrong, so he retreated. However, Arakimura Shige seemed to not believe in evil, and immediately took over his position and directed his people to pounce.
"This courtyard wall is not high at all. We are more than enough to climb the simple small ladders." As a retainer of Shige Arakimura, Nakagawa Kiyosai is commanding troops to attack Nanchanji at the moment. "You can even climb over by taking a personal ladder. That old thing Miyoshi Masaya is no longer useful. It can be so hard to hit such a broken temple."
Nakagawa Qingxiu chose a section of the courtyard wall as a breakthrough point and directed the troops to lean towards the low wall built outside the courtyard wall. The firepower of the section of the courtyard wall opposite him seemed to be quite strong, with many iron cannons, as well as endless landmarks and stones throwing towards him, and the roar of the iron cannons was endless.
He directed his subordinates to squat down against the low wall and hid behind the low wall. This was the shooting dead corner of the long-range soldiers on the courtyard wall ahead. Sure enough, the iron gunners on the courtyard wall fired several shots at him, but were all blocked by the low earth wall. So Nakagawa Qingxiu waved and signaled his subordinates to hide behind the low wall and shoot with bows and arrows to suppress the firepower on the courtyard wall, thereby providing cover for those who were holding the ladder to climb the wall. This is the siege skill these veterans have explored over the years of fighting - looking for the shooting dead corner of the defense.
However, before he could order the archers to shoot, many subordinates around him screamed and fell down one after another. Nakagawa Kiyosu didn't react for a moment. Why was he still hit by the defenders on the courtyard wall when he was hiding behind the low wall? Isn't this a dead end to shooting? However, a shot flew straight from behind and shot the guards beside him to death. But he gave him the answer. He looked in the direction of the javelin and found that the low wall they were hiding was actually exposed to the shooting vision of the courtyard wall on the other side - their backs were also enemies.
"This is..." Nakagawa Kiyosu looked around and found that the courtyard wall they were attacking was not a flat straight line, but a "v" shape. They were in the notch of the "v" character and were hit by long-range soldiers on both sides.
"Damn it." Nakagawa Kyosuke cursed fiercely, and immediately ordered his subordinates to climb over the low wall and hide in the trench under the courtyard wall. In this way, he could avoid the attack. Unfortunately, after Nakagawa Kyosuke hid in the trench, he found in despair that he had faced with the iron cannoner on a section of the courtyard wall again.
A burst of smoke of gunpowder rose, and the guards around him died in order to protect him. Nakagawa Qingxiu escaped from the trench again in a panic, but in despair there was no shooting dead corner - the siege shouldn't be like this!
At this moment, his subordinates who were climbing up with a ladder would be greeted by Chang Panbei's pike soldiers. The experience and skills of these ladders were quite impressive, and they were quick, accurate and ruthless. According to past experience, if you had climbed along the ladder to the top of the wall, then the archers and iron gunners on the wall would not hit you at all. However, at this moment, behind each foot climbing the wall, there would be a face of Chang Panbei's wall at the other end - it was full of iron gunners and spear throwers, shooting the enemies trying to climb up the wall of a friendly army, making the wall climbers return in vain.
Nakagawa Qingxiu fumbled for a while and there were still dead corners of shooting. That was the places where the bulging edges and corners of Nanchan Temple were opposite. He tried to let the archers stand there and suppress the long-range firepower of Yuqiu's house on the courtyard wall. But before he could fire, he was concentrated by the rain of arrows attacking from the side.
He turned his head and saw that the place where his archer was located was exposed to the shooting of the archer from the rock fort behind the right rear of Nanchan Temple.
