Nagao Kagetora raised his big gun high and galloped on his free-spirited moon. As he was crossing the front line, he suddenly turned around and shouted: "Izu Mamoru, Koheiji, Kashiro, and Kanshiro, the four of you, listen, in a moment
Follow my steps and don’t act without authorization. Your mission is to take off with one strike. You must not continue to fight! Remember my orders!”
"Ha!" Four people responded at the same time. The real four and the fake five people each waved a chaotic dragon flag and divided into four groups. In the blink of an eye, they rushed into the enemy's formation that was caught off guard. At the moment of the battle, hundreds of cavalry slammed into them.
In the ashigaru formation, the huge impact of the war horses shattered their muscles and bones, and the sharp sword flashed and even cut the armor of the men into two pieces.
A few long-tailed cavalry accidentally bumped into the forest of spears. The high-speed moving horses seemed to hit a wall. Several spears stabbed the necks, chests and abdomen of the horses fiercely. The horses sat down and neighed in pain.
With a loud sound, the huge pulling force threw several warriors away. They were unexpectedly thrown up high, as if they were drawn by a fast-thrown hammer in a beautiful arc, and fell into the array of spears at the rear at an incredible angle.
, the next moment the sound of crackling bamboo and wood was heard.
The companions following the long-tailed cavalry did not hesitate to draw out their scimitars and slash at the culprit who killed their comrades. The bright sword flashed past, and a few wisps of blood brought the huge head flying high, and the clean cut could not be carried out.
There was a hint of hesitation in the beheading, and the next moment the man took advantage of his horse's momentum and slashed another ashigaru's body with his backhand.
The sharp scimitar easily cut through the simple carcass, and a terrible wound was opened diagonally down the neck. The bright red blood spurted out from the chest like a spring. In the blink of an eye, half of the body was hit by the huge force of the war horse.
Flying. The blood splattered everywhere awakened the dead comrades from their panic.
Blood can inspire fear and anger. Stirred by the blood of his comrades, Hojo Ashigaru, who had been stunned for a long time, reacted in an instant. In an instant, more than a dozen Sangen guns pierced the long-tailed cavalry's body from different angles, frontally.
The huge impact caused the long-tailed cavalryman to be stabbed through the air before he could react. His body twitched and he dropped the scimitar that was about to fall. His head tilted and he fell off the horse.
In an instant, the assault of two thousand cavalry broke the stalemate on the battlefield. The cyan and black troops were entangled on the battlefield, and coquettish bloody flowers bloomed everywhere. These are bloody flowers that can only be produced by human life. Countless lives can produce them.
nourishing this horrific scene.
The long-tailed Kagetora holds a scimitar in his left hand and a large gun in his right hand. The gun is as powerful as a dragon and a fierce tiger. Wherever it passes, it brings out enchanting blood. The knights on horseback following closely behind turn into sharp spears.
Each penetration of the razor cuts a wound deep enough to show the bone, and is like a chisel chipping away at the last layer of hard shell of the Hojo Army.
The brutal cries and roars were quickly dissipated by the influx of more and more ashigaru. Within a moment, the main ashigaru formation of more than 2,000 people in the Hojo army was slaughtered, and a main reserve force was wiped out.
They were all wiped out without even a chance to escape, and the other teams couldn't hold on and retreated backwards. The entire battlefield was defeated one by one like dominoes.
Tsunakage Toyama ran away at some point. The samurai, who lost the command of their general and fell into hesitation, followed their own will, or launched a desperate charge. Or turned around and fled madly. A collapsed situation evolved at an extremely fast speed.
Several formations collapsed, until the total collapse of the 20,000-strong army. The 20,000-strong army retreated madly backwards in a daze. No one dared to provoke the long-tailed army, which was as powerful as a mad tiger. At this time, they had no choice but to run for their lives.
When Hojo Ujiyasu heard the news, his body swayed and he almost fell over. The ministers hurriedly supported him, took out the decoction to clear away heat and poured it into his mouth. It took him a long time to wake him up. The Sagami Lion cursed him the first time he woke up.
Said: "The embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed by the ant nest, my family's hard work and planning were ruined in one day, and the distant mountains and scenery derailed my important event!"
Yamato Harutong sighed and said: "My lord! Please cheer up now that the situation has come to this. The defeat of the Eastern Route Army has put our army in a state of turmoil. Please make a decision quickly, lord!"
Hojo Ujiyasu looked very unhappy. With the help of his attendants, he managed to sit up and ordered: "Quickly mobilize the five colors to prepare for reinforcements, protect our formation and retreat slowly. Remember not to be bitten by the long-tailed army in a hurry!"
Seeing that the situation was not going well, several retainers suddenly winked at the young family governor. The deputy general of the Hojo army and the eldest son Hojo Umasa hurriedly said: "Father! You must not do this! The Ueno coalition has collapsed in five formations. As long as Goseki Bei can hold on for another moment and a half.
We can break through Nagano Yasumasa's main formation. Once Nagano Yasumasa dies, the Ueno coalition forces will disperse immediately. We still have a chance to make a comeback!"
"Do you think I don't know? We have been planning for a long time. Go and see the scene outside the formation for yourselves! How could I have fainted if I hadn't seen this!" Hojo Ujiyasu pointed outside, and all the officials looked to the east.
Seeing Nagao Kagetora's Ranryu Banner following closely behind the retreating Hojo Army, the flags of the Hojo Army were cut down from time to time. Behind the Ranryu Banner was the black and dense Nagao Army, and they looked like they were in pursuit.
The posture shocked everyone.
Hojo Ujiyasu sighed gloomily: "Withdraw! Before the defeat is over, call the Rangers back."
…
The Ueno Nationalist Army was defeated across the board and could not even hold its ground. Under the powerful offensive of Hojo Goshiki, they rushed back to the camp like a chicken chasing a dog. Most of the main force did not even have a chance to perform and were trapped by the defeated troops in the vanguard.
When they rushed back, the Ueno Army, which was famous in Kanto, failed to show even 30% of its level and was defeated in a daze. Nagano was so upright that he almost passed away.
Fortunately, this camp is solid enough. The base is modeled after the camp of the Long Tail Army. The wooden fence is two rooms high and thick and is lined with giant wooden pegs. The horikiri is two rooms deep and two rooms wide, forming a semi-arc shape. There are simple arrows built into the camp.
There are more than ten oars. Based on this, as long as you guard two camp gates, you can easily resist a large-scale attack by the Hojo Army.
Da Hu Xiugang immediately stood in front of the main entrance of the camp with his spear drawn. He was surrounded by a group of more than ten old brothers, each holding a sword and a spear. He used a large spear to move freely among the rebellious army, and there was no one in his path.
In order to defeat the enemy, he personally led his troops to rush left and right to snatch back several of the surrounded main forces. Only when they were surrounded by groups of five-colored troops on both sides did they turn back and kill the generals.
Heibei's Dome Yuanxing relied on his martial prowess, and when he saw Dahu Xiutsuna's fierceness, he personally challenged him to fight. However, Dahu Xiutsuna casually swept him over and smashed him over. His hands were so numb that he even threw away the big gun. Again.
It was a chop that cut through Mikazuki Kabuto dangerously and exposed the head of Dome Yuanxing.
"Huh? This man is still a general. Look at the flag seal of the Domu clan!" Dahu Xiugang's eyes were filled with murderous intent. He didn't pay attention to the identity of this young samurai. After taking a closer look, he saw the flag seal of Heibei.
He had a murderous intention, and if he killed General Kurobei in one fell swoop, he would be able to curb the offensive momentum of Goseki Bei. After thinking about this, Dahu Xiutang stared at Domu Genxing who was holding the sword with a strong murderous intention and stabbed him.
"Oops!" Yamakaku Sadaki and Yamakaku Yasudaiki brothers were immediately shocked. Their father, Yamakaku Sadikichi, who followed the Hojo Army, was originally a subordinate of Tame Gentada. The two families had been friends for generations and had a close relationship. Before going into battle, Yamakaku Sadikichi specifically asked the two of them.
The brothers protected Duomu Yuanxing. How could he not be surprised when he saw Da Hu Xiugang stabbing him with a big spear?
Otani Yoshinobu, Dr. Itamiemon, Fukushima Iga Mamoru, Fukushima Shiroemon and other black warriors desperately rescued him. Suddenly, seven or eight spears were stabbed at Ohu Hidetsuna. The future sword master became unparalleled, and immediately
He gave up his plan to kill Domu Yuanxing and retreated hastily with his troops.
At this time, someone in Goshiki Bei broke the name of "Joshu's First Shot" Dahu Musashi Mamoru. It was rumored that his martial prowess was not inferior to that of Hojo Tsunari. Having seen the skills of Dihuo Hachiman, Goshiki Bei knew his bravery and did not dare to take advantage of his edge.
They had no choice but to let them fight and then return to the gate of the village to guard the wall.
In order to eliminate the bad influence caused by the Nagano Eleven Guns, Hojo Tsunari decided to let the "Nagano Five Guns" who had rebelled and surrendered to the enemy lead his troops to attack the main gate, and placed elite troops on both sides of them waiting for opportunities to attack. This strategy really worked. In the past, "Nagano Five Guns"
Looking back on "Sixteen Guns of Nagano" again, it is natural that enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.
There were eleven people on Da Hu Xiugang's side, and there were only five on the other side. Moreover, the other party turned away from the front and was timid. As soon as they met, Da Hu Xiugang killed two of them. The remaining three turned around and tried to escape, but were easily eliminated by his ten brothers. They killed
He shows no mercy to his former comrades, and to dwell on old friendships on the battlefield is to seek death.
The Nagano Eleven Guns were busy clearing the door, and the Hojo Army, which was retreating unprepared, would still have a follow-up attack. By the time Hojo Tsunari suddenly appeared, it was already too late. Most of the Nagano Army's Nagano Army had long-gun ashigaru who lost their array protection and seemed to have been peeled off.
An egg would break into several pieces when touched by an external force, not to mention that the general opposite was Hojo Tsunari, and he made a deliberate and unintentional surprise attack.
Inoue Heimori, who was standing at the front, and Inoue Heitai's brothers were easily broken through by Dihuang Hachiman before they had time to react. The two Inoue brothers were killed on the spot, and the tribe was cut into several plates and slaughtered quickly. Takayama Manchu, who was slightly behind,
Seeing that the situation was not going well, Wada Hōbusuke rushed to the front to block Dihuo Hachiman's assault. They risked their lives to give their brothers a chance to escape.
A great defeat followed a great victory, and another disastrous defeat followed. The little morale that the Nagano army had just accumulated was knocked away by 70 to 80%. Da Hu Xiugang looked at the four brothers being swallowed up by Huang Bei easily, and there was only endless regret and anger in his heart. Da Hu Xiugang
Musashi Mamoru is famous in Kanto for his martial arts, but he is not a pure martial artist. On the contrary, he has a lot of experience in military strategy. Knowing that the opponent is setting up a trap to infiltrate is a fool. The fools all die early on the battlefield, but the sword master is
Not dead.
Nagano Yasumasa led more than a thousand cavalry to respond. After a burst of massacre, Huang Bei's cavalry dispersed in all directions, but they were helpless in the face of the dense forest of guns. Hojo Tsunari immediately withdrew his team when he saw it, and the white bei and green bei who came to fill in were able to do it.
For Ashikaru, always maintain pressure on the main gate.
The main gate will not be captured for a while. Fortunately, there is still one side of the city gate that can be attacked. Nagano Yamasa's gate and several sons-in-law are stationed at the side gate. Nagano Yaguru and Obata Nobusada are also trapped inside, and Hojo Goshiki lacks the ability to attack the city.
The disadvantages of the means are undoubtedly obvious. Even if you attack the two camps continuously, it will be difficult to break them.
At this moment, the Hojo family's envoy sent an order to withdraw the troops.
"What! Retreat now! Are you teasing me?" Tominaga Naokatsu was born with a loud voice, and he didn't know how to restrain himself when he spoke. At this time, he pointed at the dilapidated Nagano military camp with eyes wide open.
He was spitting on his face: "Who came up with this idea? Can you afford to let go of the great victory and destroy the lord's great cause?"
Shiban didn't dare to provoke this big firecracker, so he had to calmly calm down and said: "Tominaga-don be careful! This is an order issued by the lord. The long-tailed Kagetora was defeated..."
Xu Shi was furious, and Naokatsu Tominaga, regardless of his identity, walked up to him and yelled: "Ah! Are you making me stupid? My lord must have been deceived by you sycophants, and you can't see our front line.
Erlang fought with blood, killed the enemy, abandoned his armor and fled? Are you still a samurai after all? Do you have the morality of a samurai? Ah! Answer me!"
"Fuyong-don! Are you trying to disobey me?" Shiban's face immediately drooped. He cursed countless times in his heart, and with a sullen expression, he directly used his trump card: "Please think carefully. There will be consequences for refusing the Lord's order.
What a price! I'll give you some time to think about it carefully."
Hojo Tsunari glanced at Hojo Tsunaro and asked him to deal with the envoy. He walked over and comforted him: "Tominaga-don, please calm down for the time being. My lord's decision has its own reasons. The Nagatail army counterattacked very quickly and is still chasing."
To kill the retreating troops of the Eastern Route Army, it is right for us to take a step back to keep our formation intact. With only four thousand troops in our formation, it is still not safe enough. You don’t have to be too angry. If you don’t succeed this time, there will be another time. You can fight back in the future.
Already."
Kasahara Yasukatsu followed up and said: "Dr. Zaemon is right. We all serve the lord, and the land we laid down is for our Hojo family. If this formation is attacked for this merit, our merit will become a sin."
Got it!"
"But... but..." Tominaga Naokatsu glanced at the dilapidated camp with some reluctance, and finally swallowed his breath: "What you said makes sense, but I was too eager, so I'll wait until next time.
Say more?"
"Well! Let's talk about it next time!" Hojo Tsunari coughed and ordered: "The lord ordered the entire army to retreat!"
The sudden retreat of the Hojo army gave the Ueno army a short respite. Nagano Yamasa was overjoyed when he saw this: "It must be the Nagao bomb that has started the operation in the main hall. The Nagao bomb is indeed worthy of being the dragon of Echigo. It can force the enemy with its speed."
The five colors are ready to return reinforcements. At this time, attacking from the rear and covering up the enemy will definitely destroy the enemy. It is said that I will order the entire army to follow me to fight the Hojo Army again."
Soon Nagano Yasumasa was disappointed. He thought that the people of Ueno would be cheered up again after hearing the news, but the actual effect was not satisfactory. Several leading bosses of Shirai Nagao, Suisha Nagao, and Ashikaga Nagao kept playing soy sauce and refused to buy it.
According to his account, people like Numata Touyasu, who claim to be the core of the Nagao family, have long been excluded from the system by Nagano Yasumasa. Now that Nagano Yasumasa's prestige has been damaged, they will not look down on him. This is all within his expectation. In the end,
What surprised him was that something happened to one of his own.
Da Hu Xiugang said unexpectedly and perfunctorily: "Everyone is very tired. Let's take a rest before going out into battle."
Shiban never expected that he would dare to refuse politely, and immediately became angry: "What do you mean by Musashi Mamoru? Are you disobeying me? Don't forget how my lord helped you pardon your sins."
"Disobey! Whose order! You really dare to think that you are the master!" Fujii Bungo Moritomota sneered: "Forgive the sin, why are we implicated? Were we not given by some people..."
"Shut up! Don't be rude to the envoy from Shinano Palace." Dahu Xiuzuna said with a smile: "We were waiting to guard the gate of the camp so that we could kill everyone. Now the soldiers are too exhausted to survive. Please send your envoy back to Shinano Palace to allow us to wait.
Let’s rest for a while, I believe Shinano-den will be able to understand our mood!”
After sending away the unhappy Jiban, a few people gathered together and scolded Nagano Yamasa. Takahiro Moriyu sighed and said: "We killed those five bastards with our own hands in order to wash away our grievances, and we almost didn't do that."
Following Hojo Tsunari's path, four brothers were killed, and nine of the sixteen brothers were killed. What is it called now? Nagano Seven Guns."
Hu Xiutsuna pulled out the tachi from his waist, stared at the faint light and whispered: "Ueno Seven Guns, we are Ueno people, not Nagano people!"
…
The long-tailed cavalry in black armor bit Tsunakage Toyama and pursued him. Behind him were thousands of retreating soldiers. The horse sat down and gasped for air. Apparently it couldn't stand running around all day.
After a hard time getting there, Toyama Tsunakage was very anxious. If they didn't run away, they would all die here. However, he soon received another piece of news that made him even more anxious.
"My lord! The old lord said that the mount can no longer run, and the old lord cannot hold on anymore."
"What!" Toyama Tsunakage was shocked when he heard this. His father, Toyama Tanba Mori Naokage, was known as "Old Tanba". He was still in good health even though he was over seventy years old. He could eat and sleep much better than many samurai who were much younger.
When he first entered the game, he followed Hojo Soun from Kyoto to the countryside of Izu to establish himself. It can be said that he has been working hard for the hegemony of the Hojo family all his life. He has obviously given up on his unwillingness to stay in Odawara to train and insists on joining the battle.
Today, the Hojo army got up early in order to launch a large army to raid Ueno country. They ran all the way to Ueno and fought an unsuccessful joint battle. Just after lunch, they were defeated again and fled desperately. Not to mention he is so old.
The old man couldn't stand it, and the young samurai were exhausted. The samurai on horseback were okay, but the ashigaru who were running with bamboo spears were getting slower and slower, and they were simply left behind and abandoned.
Toyama Tsunakage hurriedly turned his horse back and found his father beside the grove. The old man, with white hair and a pale face, was sitting under a big rock. He was closely guarded by several guards. Toyama Tsunakage immediately got off his horse.
, walked forward quickly, helped the old man up, and said: "Father! You can get on my horse and go quickly. There is a child here."
"I can't run anymore, and I don't want to run anymore, Fujikuro! Take your sons and leave quickly. I have lived enough at this age, so just let me spend my last days quietly here!
"Yuanshan Naoking pushed his hand away and said seriously: "Remember that you are the head of the family, don't be emotional, go ahead!"
"Father!" Toyama Tsunakage said in a hurry. The hot afternoon sun shone on his face. He tried to help his father, but was forced to retreat by the sword drawn by the old man. Several guards around the old man put their hands on the handle of the sword.
He rolled his dead eyes as if to tell him, I don't care whether you are the governor of the house or not, I will chop you down when I come over.
"The Echigo Cavalry is coming! Run!"
Tsunake Toyama's expression changed and he almost jumped up. He tried to persuade his father several times but still refused. Seeing that the situation was not going well, several of the servants wanted to force the old master to mount his horse. Those indifferent guards actually dared to kill him with a knife.
The corners of his mouth that kept twitching in pain caused him to overthrow several of Toyama Tsunakage's favorites in just one meeting. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature for better and faster novels!
