I saw Yoshimoto Imakawa still sitting on the ground, with no expression on his face.
"Get out of the way!" Oda Nobunaga separated everyone and came to the motionless Imakawa: "Why are you putting on airs in front of me? Stand up for me!!"
Imagawa Yoshimoto looked at him calmly and said: "I wanted to stand up, but my feet have been injured by the boulder, and my body has been hit by your iron gunners. Otherwise, it's up to you."
You can’t catch me.”
Only then did everyone realize that Imagawa Yoshimoto's feet were curled up at a weird angle, and it looked like the bones were broken. There was also a large amount of blood flowing on the ground under his body.
Even though he was so seriously injured, his expression remained normal. Imagawa Yoshimoto looked like a tough guy! Seeing this scene, Du Fei couldn't help but respect the dying man in front of him.
Time seemed to have frozen. Oda Nobunaga stared at him for a long time without saying a word.
"Please allow me to commit seppuku." Finally, Imagawa Yoshimoto broke the silence.
Oda Nobunaga turned around and hesitated for a moment, then suddenly threw a beautiful short sword at his waist to him: "This is what I originally left for myself today. To be honest, today's battle~I also
There is no guarantee of victory~ I won~ It’s my luck, now I don’t need it for the time being~ Here you go!”
"Thanks"
Oda Nobunaga threw down his sword and turned around and walked away without looking back.
There was no cheering or excitement.
It turns out that victory can also make people sad.
Oda Nobunaga turned back to look at Imagawa Yoshimoto, who had committed seppuku, and shouted loudly to his soldiers: "Don't be stunned! There are forward troops of the Imagawa family waiting for us over there! Go back quickly.
!”
Everyone followed Oda Nobunaga! It can be seen that killing the opponent's daimyo boosted morale! I believe it will not be a big problem to turn around and defeat the Imagawa front army, which has lost its backbone.
Du Fei stayed alone. He was tired of this battle that concerned him. It turned out that it was so painful to participate in a war in which he was not the protagonist. He didn't like this kind of situation where everything was not under his control.
Feeling! When he was in Middle-earth, was he not in charge of the world? Now he began to understand and believe what Qian Zongyi said. He actually turned out to be a person with a strong desire for power, but after the tragic death of Red Crow, he was able to suppress it
This kind of**.
It was still a crowded battlefield just now, but now apart from the cold corpses and blood on the ground, there were only a few sensitive crows flying up and down excitedly.
Du Fei froze in the corpse for a long time. Suddenly he remembered his promise to Yoko, and he began to regret it. He had no choice but to follow him.
Along the way, Du Fei heard someone singing a war song. The singing was very passionate, and after listening to it, people felt like their blood was swelling. He rushed to the rear of the Oda family and saw that it was the priest of the Oda family, Maeda Genki. Only
I saw a stiff expression on his face, and his eyes were looking forward blankly, as if he was in despair!
Du Fei was very puzzled: The master's family was about to win. Who could he show his sorrow for?
So he quietly asked Tokichiro next to him. Tokichiro curled his lips and said: "This guy also practiced priestly arts in Gaotian Shrine, the territory of the Imagawa family, so today's battle can be said to be against his own brothers and sisters. Of course he
Not happy! Huh! If the lord sees him like this, he will have to give him a riding crop!"
So that's it! It seems that the priestly skills taught by Gaotian Divine City are really quite powerful! Du Fei then asked: "Is that woman also from Gaotian Divine City?"
"Takaten Shrine is a neutral priesthood organization that is not under the control of the daimyo. The priests they have trained can be found under daimyo all over Japan, and some are even daimyo themselves! The one just now is said to be the chief Kagura miko Hayami Yumiya of the Imagawa family.
! It’s really amazing! I heard it was also from Gaotian Divine City.” At this point, he suddenly stopped and glanced at Maeda Genki: “Maybe I know this guy!”
At this moment, I heard Oda Nobunaga shouting from the front: "Attention! The Imagawa family is about to cut through the boulder!"
Du Fei and Tokichiro turned around and looked forward, only to see that the huge stone that separated the Imagawa Army, which had made great contributions to the Oda family's victory, was now dying under the constant drilling of the Imagawa Army, and it was covered with cracks.
It stopped and kept falling.
Du Fei couldn't help but secretly admire these Imagawa forward troops. They were constantly being attacked by people on the top of the cliff, and at the same time it was pouring rain, and they were struggling to break through the rocks to save their lord.
But when they struggled to cut through the boulder, they found that it was too late. What greeted them was the black iron cannons and bright swords and guns of the Oda army.
As soon as they emerged, they were fired upon by the Oda Iron Artillery Team, which was waiting for them! Immediately, corpses rolled down from the gap in the boulder. Because the exit was too small, thousands of people from the Imagawa family were crowded together. The archers of the Oda family
Unlike the iron gunner, there is almost no need to take aim. As long as the shot is roughly aimed at the gap, it will basically be a false shot.
The forward general Yasuto Asahina was under tremendous pressure at this time: the daimyo had been killed in the battle, most of his casualties had escaped, and his morale was extremely low! The most terrible thing was that the enemy's main force was behind him! Our retreat had been cut off by the enemy!
He began to hesitate. When he saw that the terrain was really unfavorable to his side, he decisively ordered his troops to retreat. He just wanted to leave this terrible place immediately. Even if it took a long detour, he was not willing to go through here again.
But something even more tragic happened. The Rokkaku family, the sworn enemy of the Imagawa family, and the Miyoshi family, who were bound to be offended by the Imagawa army on their way to Beijing, all heard the news and came to beat up the lost dog!
The pitiful remaining Imagawa army was attacked from two sides by nearly 20,000 people from the Oda, Rokkaku and Miyoshi families! They could neither advance nor retreat. In the end, they were defeated without any suspense and fled!
But it is worth mentioning that although the Imagawa family's forward general, Asahina Taishou, did not win the battle, his escape skills were really not good enough. Surrounded by three parties, under heavy rain and mud, and in Okehazama, he was so perverted.
The incredibly smooth escape under the terrain~ It’s really hard to believe.
After Oda Nobunaga won the battle, he quickly attacked the Imagawa family's Narumi Castle, which had an empty defense, without stopping, and broke through the weak defense at a very small cost.
After destroying the city, Oda Nobunaga said excitedly: "This is the real victory! You have eliminated your powerful enemy and expanded your territory!"
"Your Excellency! Up ahead is Okazaki Castle, and the defense seems to be very weak! Why don't we take it down in one go?" Shibata Katsuie pointed to the front and said.
Oda Nobunaga gently shook his head: "The front is the territory of the Matsudaira family~~ They only surrender to the Imagawa family on the surface~ After this battle, they are likely to declare their separation from the Imagawa family! Their lord Matsudaira Motoyasu is a very talented person
I believe he will make a choice that satisfies me!" After saying that, Oda Nobunaga showed an elusive smile on his face~
