The five reserve armies with 10,000 troops swarmed in like a pack of wolves that had been starved for months. They swarmed in after smelling the fishy smell, and pushed back the 15,000 Ueno national troops. If they retreated a little slower, they would be killed by the five-color army.
They pursued and fought fiercely. The Chinese soldiers from all walks of life gathered in the middle desperately. The faster they ran, the more they abandoned. Some warriors simply pulled their own troops into the mountains and forests to the west. This was not a retreat, but an escape.
More and more small and medium-sized Chinese people were abandoned by their companions. They were quickly divided and surrounded by the five-color mounted warriors. The green and white flags were swinging like a revolving lantern. These poor people had only one choice, to fight under the butcher knife of the Hojo Army.
Surrender before you get up. The other option that is not a choice is to wait for death in despair.
How many warriors wished they had four legs and ran as fast as they could, fearing that they would be separated and surrounded if they ran slower. The disorderly retreat caused the army to huddle outside the camp. No one was willing to let the other party advance into the area, if it weren't for the people behind them.
The Hojo army is coming to kill at any time, and these Chinese nobles are about to draw their swords against each other. The situation of the war has been tilted towards the Hojo army from the beginning.
Without a strong command, the Ueno national army on the front line was in chaos. Nagano Yasumasa personally led twelve sons-in-law to lead the troops to support the troops. The formation collapsed when the retreating friendly forces rushed forward. Ueno Huangban saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly ordered all those involved.
The samurai regained command, and it was already too late to talk about face at this juncture. Everyone who could not withstand this wave of attacks would have to finish the game.
Nagano Yasumasa and his sons-in-law were also blocked outside the camp. No matter how much he scolded him, he could not suppress the fear of the Ueno people. This time he finally realized what a serious mistake he had made, even if he now restored those who could conquer the country.
The command authority of the skilled warriors was of no help. Seeing a group of commanders as stupid as pigs commanding the invincible strong army into a group of lambs to be slaughtered, the old warriors only felt regret and desolation.
"Quick! Ask for help from the Changwei Danzhengdian!"
…
An envoy rushed into the formation on horseback. He quickly dismounted and rushed into the camp to report: "The Hojo Army's Goseki Bei launched a surprise attack on the Ueno coalition forces. The Ueno Japanese Army was shaken, and the Nagano Shinano garrison was unable to suppress it. We are specifically requesting support from our army!"
"
"What's going on?"
"I don't know, I just know that the Ueno army is in chaos. According to the rumors from the soldiers, it seems that the punishment of Nagano Shinano was unfair or something like that."
Naoe Keizuna was very angry. To be honest, he hated the Ueno people very much, just like he hated the Yangbei people and the Echigo Uesugi people. The people of the country were like a knot that couldn't be solved, and they were even more lazy when it came to petty quarrels among the people.
Mentioned, but as a retainer there are some things that are too much to say but I still have to say them.
"Lord, we have to try to rescue the Ueno National Army. We don't expect them to exert much power, but at least they can't collapse all at once. If they collapse, this battle will be difficult to fight! And the Rangers must be eradicated as soon as possible!"
Nagao Kagetora waved his hand and sneered: "Split the troops? No! The main force of our family just fell into Hojo Ujiyasu's plan! The Hojo family will definitely use their numerical advantage to divide and surround our Nagao army bit by bit, and finally eat it in one bite
, I didn’t expect Hojo Ujiyasu to have expended so much effort to deal with my family. It’s really ‘well-intentioned’!”
Naoe Keizuna was choked for a long time and could not speak. His lord was still in the mood to mock Hojo Ujiyasu. It made him feel dizzy. He knew that his lord was not the kind of careless family governor, so he patiently continued to persuade: "Then
We have to try to save him. If we don’t do anything, we’ve fallen into the Hojo family’s scheme!”
Yamamotoji Sadada disagreed and said: "What are you afraid of! Our Echigo army has not yet exerted its strength. All we have to do is attack them with all our strength and defeat them in one fell swoop! The Ueno army is so ineffective that it is better to let them suffer."
"Oops! Iyomaru, you are confused! Our army will be shaken once the return journey is interrupted. It will be too late to regret it by then! Please send troops to intercept this special force immediately, my lord!"
"I'll save you this, I was too careless this time... Let Nagano Shinano Mamoru hold on, and I will come later!" Nagao Kagetora grunted and had to admit that he had underestimated Hojo Ujiyasu, and he was feeling guilty for his carelessness.
Pay the price.
In the past few years, Echigo has been going smoothly and has won successive foreign wars, which has caused the Echigo samurai family to fall into optimism from top to bottom. This abnormal mentality gradually breeds with the continuous use of foreign troops. Fighting has a negative impact on the Echigo samurai.
It is said that it is a platform for making money and achievements, and the blood of the war seems to be infinitely downplayed. No one is willing to throw cold water on it, not even Nagao Kagetora.
In the past few years, I have cultivated my moral character and learned cultural knowledge, gradually cultivating my temper to be more peaceful. My sense of power is not as strong as before, and my military strategy has been forgotten in the corner. Last year, I successfully won Hojo, so it is inevitable that I will breed arrogance. This incident happened
It could be said that it was a basin of cold water that poured down his internal organs.
Arrogant soldiers must be defeated by the ancient principles. The pride in his heart was almost half gone. Nagao Kagetora stood up and ordered the main formation to move down the mountain. The Ueno Kunijun coalition was beaten by Hojo Ujiyasu's combination of punches and was unable to fight back. As an ally, he could not fight back.
If you don't save them, even if you don't save them, the Nagao family won't be able to escape.
Thousands of meters away from the mountain, the Hojo army is stationed in a temporary main formation. Hojo Ujiyasu is sitting on the bed table (mazar) and caressing the military partner in his hand in a daze.
"My lord, with his miraculous calculations, defeated the Ueno army, and attacked in the east and in the west, making the long-tailed army dare not distract from the rescue. He is truly the wisest man in the world!"
"What's wrong with me? Why am I so uneasy? Did I miss something? It's impossible!" Hojo Ujiyasu suppressed the doubts in his heart, cheered up and said with a smile, "This is all your fault.
I am not as good as Sun Jiulang in terms of political affairs, and I am not as good as Sun Jiulang in military strategy. I just know that listening to both will lead to enlightenment and partial trust will lead to darkness, and I can make appropriate decisions at the right time."
Suddenly there was a rumble of military taiko drums from afar. The Hojo retainers in the formation listened attentively. After a while, there was another deep sound of conch shells. Several veterans of the Hojo clan frowned and said, "Why are you beating the taiko drums again?"
Conch? Didn't you knock it before the war started?"
Matsuda Sukerokuro Yasunaga felt that something was not right. After pondering for a long time, he suddenly had an idea: "Could it be that the Nagao Army's main formation is taking action? Nagao Kagetora is going to go out?"
The rest of the audience closed their mouths and looked at Matsuda Shengxiu, as if to say that he is your little nephew. You can handle it yourself, and we will not tear you down. Old Shengxiu was also helpless and could only shake his head and laugh.
: "It's too late to intercept the Rangers now. What's more, how can the general leave the formation and pursue a Rangers. With Nagao Kagetora's wisdom, he can't fail to see this. What problems does Sukerokuro have during the military meeting? Wait a minute.
Let’s talk later.”
"Uncle said it makes sense! My nephew has learned a lesson." Matsuda Yasunaga tilted his head and thought about the same truth. He has been the writer of the Hojo Horse Association for less than half a year, and his experience is far worse than that of many of these young people.
, I accidentally made a taboo just now, so I quickly cast an apologetic look.
Time passed by, and the Hojo retainers patiently waited for the battle report from the front. Hojo Tsunari led the Goseki Bei to sing a song of victory all the way. The two wings of the Ueno coalition were cut into pieces. Nagano Yasumasa led the Nagano Eleven Guns,
He and his twelve sons-in-law blocked the camp gate and stood firm, trying to turn the tide on their own.
The war was extremely fierce, and a camp gate changed hands several times. Corpses that died in front of the camp gate filled every inch of the gap. Nagano Yasumasa relied on this "flesh and blood gate" to temporarily block the attack. Hojo Tsunaki's situation was not good for the time being.
Suppress the offensive, change direction and hunt down the fleeing Ueno people.
The Higashino Ueno people who were stationed at the northern foot of the mountain were packing their luggage. The ones prepared by Roshige Shige were the first to pack up the quickest. Several hundred ashigaru stood outside the camp early and were ready to go. Looking at them all with a neat military appearance and awe-inspiring aura, at first glance they looked like
They are like warriors rushing to the battlefield. In fact, they are deserters who are about to run away.
Kiryu Suketsuna had been dragging his feet to pack his belongings, and even the tent was about to be taken away. Terujiu Yamagami was so anxious that he was sweating profusely and ran over to urge him: "Alas! Suketsuna don't pack up, all these small things should be taken away."
Give it up! It’s important to escape now!”
"No! It's not easy for us to save a little bit of wealth after all our hard work. After all, we are sorry for our family just to leave it here. If you wait, I will pack it up soon." Kiryu Sukezuna seemed to be possessed and insisted on drinking the bottle.
After all the bottles and cans were packed in, Shanzhaojiu was so angry that he ran out of the camp, whining and breathing heavily.
More than a dozen people from Yura Shige's family were sweating under the scorching sun. They were a little unhappy when they saw that there was still no movement in the camp. The low-pitched discussions slowly turned into loud noises. Harada Yasaburo was worried that these rich people had angered Yura.
Chengfan took advantage of the situation and complained: "Kiryu, why are the samurai of the Yama family bothering?"
"Wait another quarter of an hour, let's go if they don't come out!" Although Yura Shige showed no other expression on the surface, in fact, he had already cursed in his heart. What was helpless was that the Teruhisa family in the mountains had a close personal relationship with Kiryu Suketsuna, and Kiryu Suketsuna
His skills are also very powerful, and he ranks at the forefront among the people of Higashi Ueno Country, not much worse than Yura Shige.
Moreover, Kiryu Suketsuna's background is not small. His biological father is Sano Hidetsuna of Karasawa Mountain Castle in Shimono Province. He was adopted by Kiryu Maetsuna of the same clan as his adopted son. The former governor of the Sano clan, Sano Yasutsuna, is his brother. Sano
The current head of the family, Sano Toyotsuna, is his nephew. With the support of the family in Shimono, there is really no one in Ueno who dares to touch him.
"Woooooooo..."
There was a sound of conch sounds, and Yuliang Chengfan's expression changed, and he gritted his teeth and ordered: "Go and urge me again. If they insist on procrastinating, I will ignore them!"
Jiu Yaoba flag and the chaotic dragon flag slowly moved down the mountain with the black-armored knights. Wherever the flag was printed, the commander was there. More than a thousand cavalry who were protecting Nagao Kagetora then rushed down the mountain, causing the soldiers to mount their horses.
They galloped and blew the conch symbolizing the attack. The long-tailed troops along the way saw the dragon flag dancing wildly in the wind and cheered.
They opened a road directly to the front formation to facilitate the advance of the main formation. More than a thousand strutting warriors on horseback accelerated down the mountain with neat steps. Behind them, more and more horseback warriors carrying Jiuyaoba banners gathered, and soon
A terrifying cavalry regiment of more than 2,000 riders was gathered.
"It's just after noon, we have to wait a little longer." Toyama Tsunakage huddled in the formation and counted the time. For a general like him, charging forward is just a symbolic gesture, and he is definitely not on the front line to kill the enemy.
With this intention, the entire Hojo family turned into a fighting madman, Hojo Tsuna, while other samurai cherished their lives.
The task given to him by Hojo Ujiyasu is to cooperate with friendly forces to hold back the main force of the Nagao family as much as possible, at least until the beginning of the afternoon (after three o'clock in the afternoon). This task is very difficult. No one wants to touch the main force of the Nagao family. Others can find
He excused himself to refuse, but he couldn't. Everyone in Edo was burdened with heavy hatred, and he couldn't rest at ease unless this blood feud was avenged.
"The enemy's main formation is moving!" Several strong horses and marshals flew over at extremely fast speeds. The eager neighing of the horses and horses covered the distant sound of military drums and shook the silent main formation. Toyama Tsunakage stood up.
When I walked outside the formation and looked over, I saw the eye-catching dragon flag getting closer and closer, and suddenly the front formation fell into chaos.
The Edo ashigaru in front of the battle did not know the disaster they were about to face. They looked curiously at the opposite side. The Echigo ashigaru suddenly retreated and opened a huge gash. The next moment, the thunderous sound of horse hooves trampling the ground reached their ears.
It's like a melodious drum beating that makes your ears buzz.
It was as if all the sounds in the whole world had disappeared, and there was only a dull and violent vibration. This was the sound of the earth suppressing pain. Within a moment, deep fear appeared on the faces of the people in Edo.
The horse has a black armor, a big gun, and a brown-black mount. Except for the black and white Jiu Yaoba, there is no bright color on the body.
Thousands of Echigo knights surged in like a black wave. These were the famous Echigo knights in Kanto. Decades ago, the Uesugi family saw Nagao several times, and a few decades later it was changed to the Hojo family.
Come to try his power, and this time it is Nagao Kagetora who personally leads the charge. He is the fighting maniac Toyama Tsunakage least wants to see.
"Everyone, listen to the order and break through the enemy in front!" Nagao Kagetora yelled, frightening the Hojo army to death. The black-armored cavalry seemed to have taken a big tonic and the whole army was invigorated. Thousands of knights were like an overwhelming wave, and their whole bodies were filled with shock.
Exuding a violent aura, they rushed towards the scattered enemy formation, followed by five thousand ashigaru following the cavalry.
Humans are group animals. When a group is doing one thing, people will always fall into blind obedience involuntarily. The same is true on the battlefield. When thousands of cavalry collectively fall into a state of fanaticism, the fear of death is all in their eyes.
Disappeared, with only bloody killing in his crazy eyes.
The Hojo Army was caught off guard. They did not expect Nagao Kagetora to be so decisive. Standing next to Echigo Dragon were four samurai dressed in the same style. They were exactly the same as Nagao Kagetora from body shape to armor.
The mission is to serve as a substitute for Uesugi Kenshin with Ranryu Banner to disrupt the sight of the Hojo Army. They are called shadow warriors, also known as shadow warriors. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
