The death of Imagawa Yoshimoto seemed to have set off a Category 12 typhoon. When Oda Nobunaga was holding Imagawa Yoshimoto's head to show off his martial arts skills, the remaining Imagawa family samurai on the battlefield chose to sacrifice their lives for their lord in their own way.
, after Yamada Shin'emon had successfully escaped, he only returned to the battlefield after learning the news that his lord had been killed, rushed towards Oda Nobunaga's main formation, and died heroically.
After the death of Matsui Munanobu, all his clan members spilled blood on the battlefield. The dead included most of the elite of the Imagawa family, including Imagawa Yoshimoto's uncle Kamahara Ushimasa, brother-in-law Masatoshi Asai, nephew Kuno Ujitada, Suruga flag leader Miura Yoshiji, and the military
The Yoshida family is loyal, the flag is Anwara Motosei, the diplomats are Ichinomiya Munoshi, the flag leader of the rear formation is Katsurayama Choyoshi, the spear leader is Izu Gentori, the left reserve general Okabashi Sadada, the front reserve general Hidequan Asahina, and the front reserve general Fujieda
Aki, Katsurayama Motoki, Ejiri Chiyoshi, Matsui Munebu, Kuno Motomu, Ii Naomori, Yuhi Masanobu and so on.
In this battle, the Oda army captured a total of 3,000 heads. There were more than 60 named generals of the Imagawa family. Each of these people was a powerful samurai at the level of a castle lord. We can count the names of the Imagawa family.
There are more than a thousand warriors. These people are all elite warriors. They are the essence of more than ten years of training and have been baptized by several years to decades of battles. They are not just farmers who randomly recruit strong men.
soldiers.
This surprise attack brought Oda Nobunaga's name to the forefront of history, allowing him to join the ranks of the first-class military commanders. What the Oda family gained was not only a victory or 3,000 heads, but also the No. 1 ranking in Tokaido.
Yumatori, the head of the Suruga lord Yoshimoto Imagawa, his death heralded the irrepressible decline of the Imagawa family, and the Tokaido control system that the Imagawa family had worked hard for for generations would also face collapse.
Oda Nobunaga lived up to the expectations of the public. After the end of the Battle of Okehazama, he took advantage of the victory and pursued it. Taking advantage of the news of Imagawa Yoshimoto's death in Okehazama, he launched a full-scale attack on Owari territory. Soon the army attacked Takake Castle, and Kira
Ngee An was already frightened by the news of his father-in-law's death, and hurriedly retreated to Tojo Castle under the escort of his family members.
However, Kondo Keiharu, the lord of the castle, was killed in the battle. Shigehara Castle surrendered on the spot when the Oda army came to kill him. Tsushima Marine Corps Tomosada, who helped block the sea route, also returned to his home base, but Oka, who was the last to hold on to Narumi Castle, surrendered.
Nobumoto Nobu was left there. After learning the news of the death of his lord Imagawa Yoshimoto, this brave general not only did not have a mental breakdown. Instead, he burst out with bloody courage and beat the Oda army several times until they could not move forward.
No matter how many waves of samurai came to the Oda family to persuade them to surrender, they were all driven away. Perhaps because they were moved by Okabe Motonobu's bravery and loyalty, and of course more likely because they were unwilling to waste time on this strong city, Oda Nobunaga offered an offer that he could not refuse.
The reason is to return the head of Imagawa Yoshi in exchange for the surrender of Narumi Castle.
In the end, Okabe Motonobu respectfully held Imagawa Yoshimoto's head and safely evacuated Narumi Castle with hundreds of remnants of hundreds of battles. Halfway through, he remembered that he had not accomplished anything in this war and watched Imagawa Yoshimoto helplessly.
After his death, he was annoyed and attacked Kariya Castle belonging to Mizuno Nobugen on the Owari border on his way back. He beheaded the head of Mizuno Nobuichika, the general who stayed at the castle, and then slowly retreated to Sunfu Castle.
Imagawa Yoshimoto's sword, Sozomonji, also fell into the hands of Oda Nobunaga. The origin of this sword is quite twists and turns. It was a gift given to Takeda Nobutora by Miyoshi Masaichi Naomido Sozo when Takeda Nobutora came to Luo twenty years ago.
, then after the Hanakura Rebellion, when Imagawa Yoshimoto became Takeda Nobutora's son-in-law, Takeda Nobutora transferred it to Imagawa Yoshimoto.
None of the three owners of this knife ended up well. The first owner, Miyoshi Sozo, held this sword for a long time. You can tell that the knife was called "Zongsan" and that he had some thoughts about the time he spent in his hands.
, Miyoshi Sozo also broke with Miyoshi Chokei soon afterwards, and was eventually killed by Miyoshi Chokei in the Battle of Ekou.
The second owner, Takeda Nobutora, only stayed in his hands for less than two or three years. Soon after, he was exiled to Suruga by his legitimate son, Takeda Harunobu. However, the great and heroic Kai Tiger ended up in the embarrassing situation of having a home and being unable to return. He was also raped by his legitimate son and his good son-in-law.
They teamed up to trick him into entering, so that they became disheartened and hid in Suruga without paying attention to worldly affairs.
As for the third owner Imagawa Yoshimoto, he cherished this famous sword very much after he got it. It didn't take long for him to name the sword "Yoshimoto Zuomonji", so he ended up in the miserable situation of Okazama with his body and head missing.
The bizarre life story of Ba Dao is so bizarre that no one can stop worrying.
It's just that Oda Nobunaga is a person who believes in fate. He doesn't care about such nonsense at all. Not only does he not care about such prophecies, but he also particularly likes this Zongsanzuo script, and soon he
This Yoshimoto sword is engraved with the words "On July 19, the first year of Eiroku, the sword held by Yoshimoto during his capture was Oda Owari Nobunaga." Perhaps he calls himself Owari Nobunaga to satisfy his own vanity.
.
When Oda Nobunaga raised his flag and pursued victory, a group of frightened samurai on the other side of the battlefield were fleeing desperately. Imagawa Yoshimoto's right-hand son-in-law, Matsudaira Motoyasu, with more than a thousand remaining ashigaru, fled on the night when Imagawa Yoshimoto begged for death.
He fled Odaka Castle in a panic. Fortunately, it was already late at that time, and the Oda family kept his eyes on the fleeing Imagawa troops, allowing them to escape smoothly. Even so, he still did not dare to carry more things, even after working so hard to transport them to Otaka Castle.
The baggage and pack horses in Gaocheng were thrown down, and they trudged back to Sanhe along the edge of the battlefield.
Matsudaira Motoyasu was extremely panicked. It was clear that the Oda family's troops had not yet caught up with him, but they had already frightened him into a pale face. Perhaps he was too young, inexperienced and timid. In short, he was worried about himself as "Imagawa Yoshimoto's son-in-law"
" will become the key target of the Oda family. He does not have a brand as big as Kira Yoshian, nor does he have a world-famous younger brother to back him up. What if Oda Nobunaga can't remember that there was a "Shōuchi Riverside" in the past?
Takechiyo’s playmate, didn’t he die unjustly?
In the past, there was a big tree like the Imagawa family, and I was able to find a big tree to enjoy the shade. After several years of hard work, I also gained a reputation within the Imagawa family system. As long as I continued to maintain this rhythm, I could get into the family of the Shodai family and even Mikawa country.
There is no problem with the flag head, but the death of Yoshimoto Imagawa and Kazama has changed the situation into a different situation. The Imagawa family is hopeless, so why shouldn't he himself be finished and hopeless too?
The more I thought about it, the more I became afraid, and the more I became afraid, the more I thought about it. In the end, thinking about Matsudaira Motoyasu was a bit over the top, and ran all the way outside Okazaki City to hide in the Bodhi Temple where his ancestors had been for several generations. After thinking about it over and over again, he felt that he could not live, so he might as well give it to himself.
An honorable end was brought down, so Matsudaira Motoyasu ran to the ancestor's soul and prepared to commit seppuku.
At the critical moment of life and death, the abbot of Dashu Temple suddenly appeared, pointed at Matsudaira Motoyasu and shouted: "Since you know that this is the Bodhi Temple where your ancestors are enshrined, why don't you want to honor your ancestors, but only commit seppuku when you encounter a powerful enemy?"
, you only want to put an end to your temporary troubles, but you don’t think about continuing the lineage passed down to you by your ancestors. How can you go to Hirazan in the underworld to see your ancestors? You must know that everyone longs for separation.
It’s a dirty land, but how many people really have the determination and perseverance to go to the pure land?”
Inspired by the drink of climbing the Yutenshi, Matsudaira Motoyasu gave up the stupid idea of suicide and rushed back to Okazaki Castle with more than a thousand elites that day. At this time, the Imagawa defenders in Okazaki Castle had already retreated to Suruga, and were given free money. He, that night, ordered his retainers to make a new flag seal, and wrote eight characters: "We are tired of the filthy land, and we are happy to seek the pure land."

Xuezhai didn't have to worry about anything when he was in the army. When Taiyuan Xuezhai died, he went into battle and caused a big leak.
