Chapter 26 Raiders

As the Imakawa family began to attack, Oda Nobunaga also strengthened its troops, and Mino and the other three led their troops into the front line of the spearmen. The right army where I was located was also led by Akichi Mitsuhide and Oda Niu Yida to reinforce the archers, forming a group of archers with archers. The archers' problems are similar to those of the iron artillery. In the fierce battle, they can shoot twenty arrows in a row, which is extremely physically strong. In order to deal with the uninterrupted attack, they can only use turns to shoot arrows.

When the vast Imakawa family army rushed to the foot of the mountain for 80 meters, I took the lead in firing a shot. A red armored warrior who rushed in front like aphrodisiac had opened a blood hole in his chest. Several peasant soldiers around the Red Armored Warrior were in a hurry and wanted to move the body of the Red Armored Warrior back, but they could only continue to rush forward along the dense crowd.

While the guards around me were using their bodies to cover me, they also had an important task, which was to load me with ammunition. The warriors who attacked the Imakawa family last time were unable to supervise the battle behind the scenes. This time, they wanted to rely on peasant soldiers to cover the warriors, but they met me, a sharpshooter, and they were unlucky. People kept getting shot and fell to the ground and were lucky enough to be injured and died of crazy trampling by the troops behind. I was not the only one who sniped, Oda Niuchi and Akichi Mitsuhide fired cold arrows behind them to kill the enemy samurai.

The three masters here are in charge. The samurai on the front line of the Imakawa family almost suffered casualties before rushing to Niba Nagahide's spearmen. However, Shibada Katsuya in the middle was not so lucky. Although Ando Mori helped, the front line was almost destroyed by Imakawa's army several times, and Oda Nobunaga had to send people to reinforce and stabilize the defense line.

The sound of shouting, moaning, iron cannons, and bowstrings were intertwined. The battle situation was in a stalemate for a while, and the attacking Imakawa family suffered more casualties. The corpses of Imakawa family at the foot of the mountain were covered with dense layers from the foot of the spearmen to fifty meters away. If they were watering some water, they would be a sea of ​​blood.

At this time, war drums and fighting sounds came from the direction of Otaka Castle in the west. The morale of the Imakawa family was greatly boosted and rushed several times. The Oda family's defense line was in danger. Oda Nobunaga was almost at the end of his life. Oda Nobunaga only had one hundred flag guards and two thousand peasant soldiers as the final reserve team. Because the barrel was overheated, most of the iron artillery soldiers were already cooling the barrel with water. Now there were only sparse sounds of iron artillery on the battlefield. Most of the archers were tired and their fire speed slowed down. The bodies of the enemy and us at the feet of the gunmen in front had built a half-man-high bunker.

At this time, Yoshihiro Ikeda took my telescope and shouted excitedly, "Imakawa Yoshimoto's flagship flag fell down, the Imakawa family was defeated." People came to their senses and saw that Imakawa Yoshimoto's team was attacked on the Turkanama Mountain. It was in chaos. Although I can't see clearly other things, the Imakawa family flag that was still erected there just now did fall down.

Oda Nobunaga pressed his last reserve team without hesitation, and at this moment the victory and defeat were clear. The Imakawa army had no intention of fighting again and retreated one after another. Soon it turned into a retreat, and the peasants threw down their weapons and stepped on each other and suffered countless casualties.

Seeing that the Imakawa family was defeated, Oda Nobunaga sent two relatively complete archers to block the Daigao Castle and ordered the remaining troops to chase along the route of the Imakawa family's escape. The iron artillery team was not suitable for this kind of pursuit. I and Fuxiu, with the tie, followed Oda Nobunaga's team again. When I arrived at Tuosama Mountain, I found that the swordsman who turned the tide at a critical moment was actually the swordsman Nobunaga's squadron Nobunaga's squadron.

Nobunaga Uchizumi led a disciple of Shin-yinliu who was studying Kendo in Kiyosu Town. After seeing Oda Nobunaga and I go up the mountain, I bowed, 'Lord, Your Highness Nobunaga.'

Oda Nobunaga patted me on the shoulder, "Very good, beautifully done. Imakawa Yoshimoto and I didn't expect you to have an ambushed soldier." He turned around and asked Nobunaga Kamiizumi, "How is it, have I gotten the head of Imakawa Yoshimoto?"

Nobuzuki Uchizuki presented the two liang of military flags from the Imakawa family, and "reply to His Highness Nobunaga, he just shot an arrow on the shoulder of Imakawa Yoshimoto without fatal injuries. He was rescued by the qibo under Imakawa Yoshimoto. He only picked up the military flag and the commander flag.' Nobuzuki Uchizuki said it very easily, but looking at the broken weapons and corpses on the ground and the injuries of many Xinyinliu disciples, you know that it was a hard battle.

‘Tell me, what reward do you want?’ Nobunaga Oda was excited. Since ancient times, military achievements have been to kill generals and seize the flag first. These two liang of military flags can be compared with the head of Imakawa Yoshiro.

‘The subordinates are not short of money and food, and they don’t have a family yet. If His Highness can give the city princess to his subordinates, he will be very grateful.’

‘This.’ Oda Nobunaga hesitated for a moment, ‘You should be promoted to the general after this battle, and it’s okay according to your identity. But Ashi is still young. It would be fine if you are willing to raise it for two years before getting married.’

‘Your Highness Xie.’ Although the princess of the Oda family who married the Oda family was suspected of being monitored, from another perspective, as long as the family members did not have any rebellion, they could rest assured.

After defeating Imakawa Yoshimoto, the form was not small but big. Matsuhei Motoyashi in Otaka Castle failed to break through. After falling into trouble, he wisely chose to surrender to the Oda family. In order to draw a clear line with Imakawa Yoshimoto, he changed his name to Tokugawa Imakawa Imakawa and abandoned the name given to him by Imakawa Yoshimoto.

Oda Nobunaga sent troops to capture Takua City, and good news came from the front. The harassing team led by the monkey Kishita Fujiro actually took the chaos to capture Okazaki Castle. After leaving the shit, the monkey was unable to stop it. After the monkey brought people into Tokaido, in addition to attacking a grain transport team, he had been fighting guerrillas in the deep mountains and forests. When people almost forgot the existence of the monkey, the guy heard that Imakawa Yoshimoto's army was defeated, and immediately brought people to Okazaki Castle to disguise themselves as a success-and-defeated soldier, and then seized the city while taking the chaos. Then he captured deserters everywhere with Okazaki Castle as the center, which became the one who had the most captured. Afterwards, Oda Nobunaga did not make any mistakes about this opportunist, Oda Nobunaga, and was promoted to the general and had a fief of 2,000 stones.

After Okazaki Castle was taken, it was naturally not worthy of giving it to Tokugawa Ieyasu for nothing, although this is his hometown. Oda Nobunaga was also very generous and waved his hand to Tokugawa Ieyasu. The problem arises. Not to mention Tokugawa Ieyasu, even Sanhe still has nearly half of it in the hands of Imakawa Yoshimoto.
