Under the fake red bird horse seal on the other side, another member of the Imagawa family has a completely different mentality.
"Why...why did you suddenly turn to Imagawa Yoshimoto's side..." Imakawa Yoshima was completely unaware of the connections Shouguini had secretly made in the Imagawa Pavilion in the past two days. He couldn't believe everything that happened in front of him, "Could it be that
Are you saying that it was a design to deceive me from the beginning? Are Sugini and these generations fools? Can't you tell who is more qualified to lead the Imagawa family? Why did the Hojo family retreat and go north? Did they ignore me?
?Why did the Takeda Army come here?"
"We must not lose here..." Imagawa Yoshima took a deep breath and tried to calm his breathing, "If I lose, history will become exactly the same as before, and the direct descendants of the Imagawa family will also go to a dead end... Damn...
Damn..."
"Your Highness Echizen, how many more do we have?" Imagawa Yoshima looked at the troops and morale that had finally been stabilized, and hurriedly asked Fukushima Masashige, who had returned from suppressing the troops.
We have 280 troops and 100 combat troops. The total strength is 2,100 troops and 700 combat troops." Masashige Fukushima bluntly said, "Only half of the opponent."
"Where's the combat power?"
"Asahina Bei is the bravest of all three armies, Okabe Bei is equally perseverant, and the Imagawa family is the elite in the military. Only our Fukushima Bei can barely compete, and the rest are no match for each other." The straight-tempered Fukushima Masashige did not.
A little bit tactful.
"Third Young Master, why not retreat to Puyuan City quickly! The city below is on a mountain 5 miles away, with an altitude of more than 30 feet. (For the convenience of writing, the length unit conversion in this book adopts the following standard: 1 feet ≈ 3.3 meters, 1
Zhang = 10 feet, 1 foot = 10 inches), easy to defend but difficult to attack! As long as you retreat into the city, the enemy will not be able to defeat it in a short period of time, even if it has thousands of troops!" Mitsuya Umahara came to Imagawa Yoshima's side and was almost
He pulled the reins of Imagawa Yoshima and said anxiously with his face flushed:
"We just need to defend the city and then send a message to Toe! The Horikoshi family and the Iio family of Toe Province have been dissatisfied with the Imagawa family for a long time. They will definitely raise troops when they see the civil strife in the Imagawa family! The Asahina family and the Sena family have their castles in Toe, so they will inevitably withdraw their troops.
If we need reinforcements, the Imagawa family will also have to send troops to suppress the rebellion! When the time comes, we will contact the Hojo family and we will definitely be able to defeat the enemy!"
"What His Highness Kamabahara said is true." Imagawa Yoshima was immediately convinced. Because in the history of the previous life, after the Hanakura Rebellion, a large-scale rebellion led by the Horikoshi family and the Iio family broke out in Toga.
Imagawa Yoshimoto was unable to use all his strength to deal with Hojo who invaded Kadong. Imagawa Yoshimagi immediately arranged for the envoys to go directly to the west, and at the same time commanded all his troops to retreat to Kabara Castle in the northwest.
Xuanguang Etan's original personality has dabbled in a lot of semaphores commonly used in the Imagawa family during his more than ten years of practice. These inherited memories helped Imagawa Yoshima a lot when commanding. "Kabara Bei opened the way and led the auxiliary soldiers.
Retreat first. Miura will protect the northeastern left wing, Yui, Hasegawa, and Ichinomiya Sanbi will protect the southwest right wing, and Fukushima will be behind!"
"What Imagawa Yoshima is thinking about now must be to retreat to Kabara Castle and wait for reinforcements from the Hojo family and Toe's rebellion." Taiyuan Xuezai saw through Imagawa Yoshima's movements at a glance, and at the same time ordered, "Send orders to all ministries, Half of the cavalry was concentrated under the command of the Bichu garrison, galloping westward along the official road, bypassing the enemy's lines and heading north, attacking the weak right wing of the local area, and stopping them before they retreated into the mountains!"
"Yes." Asahina Taino took out another wine gourd from nowhere, drank a few swigs, and then led the cavalry and galloped away.
"Okabe Bei, Xingjin Bei, and Anwara Bei, follow the Beichu garrison cavalry in marching formation, advance along the official road, and then go north to launch the attack!"
"yes."
"Sekiguchi Bei, Sena Bei, Asahina Bei, march north along the official road leading to the mountainous area from the north, go around the enemy's left wing and then spread out. There is no need to attack, just contain it!"
"yes."
"The 2nd and 4th berths of the Imagawa family's own team will follow the enemy Fukushima ri from the front, and must contain the enemy. The 3rd brigades and the horseback troops will stay behind at Ma Seal as a reserve team!"
"yes."
"Chengfang, read carefully. Those military art books I read before are all false. If you really want to master military strategy, you still have to rely on actual combat." Taiyuan Xuezhai patted Imagawa Shimoto's shoulder and whispered, "This You don’t need to command the battle, just watch and learn.”
At six quarters on the morning of March 27, the fifth year of Tianwen (1536), the civil war broke out.
"Quick, rush over, ignore those weak and weak arrows!"
On the official road, Asahina Taino took the lead, leading more than 250 cavalry teams with flags from various families, and rushed westward along the official road at an astonishing speed. The people who had already left the official road retreated to the northwest hills. The movement speed of Hasegawa Bei, Yuhi Bei, and Ichinomiya Bei is far inferior to that of the cavalry, and the horizontal distance is constantly shortening. They also tried to shoot arrows to hinder them, but the distance was too far and they could not cause much damage at all.
"Follow up and don't fall too far behind!"
Behind the cavalry, Okabe Otsuna was leading more than 400 soldiers including Okabe Bei, Kotsu Bei, and Anwara Bei to chase Asahina Tenno. Along the way, the troops were choked by the smoke and dust raised by the horses' hooves. But the excitement of the battle made everyone forget their discomfort.
At this time, in the Fukushima Preparation Position, Fukushima Masashige was commanding the troops to fight and retreat, but the Imagawa family's team in front of him had no intention of attacking by force. Fukushima Masashige looked to the northeast in front of the Miura Preparation Position, at the pass. Bei, Sena Bei, and Asahina Bei were also heading north along the mountain road in a marching formation, with no intention of starting a battle formation in a hurry.
"I see, I finally understand." As a battle-hardened veteran, Fukushima Masashige quickly read Taiyuan Xue Zhai's intention, "It seems that he wants to prevent us from returning to Puyuan City, but in fact he has other intentions. picture."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "What do you say, His Majesty Echizen?" Although Imagawa Yoshima is a time traveler, he is still a rookie who has never fought in a war. At this time, he can only ask for advice.
"He knew that our military morale was shaken during this battle, so he wanted to attack Hasegawa, Yui, and Ichinomiya Sanbi who were not firm in their stance first, forcing them to switch sides and return to the Imagawa clan's Moto side." Fukushima Masashige pointed to the three wealthy families on the left, " Therefore, the cavalry team will not try to circle back behind the entire army, but will take action when it gets to the side of Sanbei."
"Send an order for Hasegawa, Yui, and Ichinomiya Sanbei to march urgently towards Kamahara Bei and draw the cavalry team into the hilly terrain that is unfavorable to the cavalry. The Kamahara Bei archery team is prepared. Once Asahina Bei's cavalry charges into the formation, they will fire random arrows.
Cover. Then counterattack together!" Fukushima Masashige glanced at the cavalry team that was quickly distancing itself from the follow-up infantry. "Before the enemy infantry reinforcements arrive, annihilate this cavalry team in the hills now and reduce the opponent's strength by 10%.
Halfway through, this battle will take a turn for the better. Fukushima Bei also stopped retreating and just stood on the top of this hill to prevent enemy reinforcements!"
After Fukushima Masashige's horse seal was shaken, the 120 soldiers of Hasegawa Bei, Yuhibei and Ichinomiya Bei immediately accelerated their pace, turned north and headed straight towards the hills. And the Kamahara Mitsuru clan also immediately evacuated and followed behind Kamahara Bei.
The auxiliaries mobilized 30 archers out of formation and aimed in the direction of the cavalry.
"We are leading us into the hills. The food and drinks here are good." Asahina Taisun laughed twice when he saw this, and then looked back at Taiyuan Xue Zhai's flag change, "Okay, brothers, let's have a drink!"
"Fukushima Echizen's guess is correct. The monk has no intention of leaving the whole army behind. They are panic-stricken during this battle. As long as the war situation does not go well, they may defect on a large scale." Taiyuan Xuesai pointed to Asahina Taino's cavalry headquarters, and then
He drew an arc straight to the northeast, "It's just that the poor monk's target is not the Sanbei, but the Miura family, the important ministers in the family!"
After receiving the order to turn, Asahina Taino led the cavalry straight to the northeast. Originally, they wanted to lure the cavalry into the mountains. Hasegawa, Yui, and Ichinomiya Sanbi's rapid march northward not only failed to work, but instead tore up the formation and gave Asahina a chance.
Taino opened a hole. From then on, Asahina Taino drove straight in, penetrated the center of Imagawa Ryoshima's entire front, and roared away behind Fukushima Bei.
Fukushima Masashige hurriedly mobilized his troops to defend against the enemy behind him. He wanted to rely on the mountains to block the cavalry, but found that Asahina Tenno's target was not himself, but went straight through and headed towards Miura Bei on the northeast left.
Taiyuan Xuezai once again signaled the red bird horse seal to wave, and Sekiguchi Bei, Sena Bei, and Asahina Bei, who received the instruction, all launched a fierce attack on Miura Bei. Although Miura Bei had as many as 200 soldiers, he was not known for being good at fighting, so he was
The three reserve teams were tightly involved. At this time, Miura Clan was surprised to find that the cavalry team led by Asahina Yasuno had crossed the friendly position at some point and came to the front.
"Quick, protect His Highness!" Seeing that something was going wrong, the Hatamoto warriors of the Miura family immediately clapped their horses to meet them, but they could not increase their horse speed in a hurry. In a cavalry confrontation, horse speed is crucial. Whoever has a faster horse will win.
Nothing goes wrong.
Asahina Taito drew his sword in his hand and led the troops to kill. He moved on his horse with skillful equestrian skills to pass two samurai swords coming at him, and then slashed the enemy's seated horse beside him with his backhand.
, without looking at the warrior who was knocked to the ground by his mount, he continued to rush forward. With a wave of his sword, he forced the two walking warriors who were approaching him back, and then jumped on his horse, knocking over another warrior.
The samurai with the sword. In the blink of an eye, Mitsuru Miura was in front of him.
Miura stood blankly beside his horse seal, watching as the tall and powerful Asahina Taino reined the horse in front of him, carrying a bloody katana, and sent out Hatamoto to meet the enemy.
The samurai were also defeated in front of the large group of Imagawa cavalry.
"I'm telling you, brother, last time your family followed Xiaolu Fanman, and this time we followed the Third Young Master, you really don't have a long memory." Asahina Taino joked, while under the gaze of hundreds of soldiers from both the enemy and ours,
He leisurely unbuttoned his clothes and took out the wine gourd, raised his head and took a big sip. Then, regardless of the wine dripping down his chin, he swung the wine gourd in front of Mitsuru Miura and said, "Old Miura, the pen master of the time, is now
Things are getting worse and worse. This time we are on the wrong side. How much territory do we still have left? Why don’t we abandon the dark side and join the bright side as soon as possible, and we can still keep our status as the elder of the family."
Miura Shimitsu glanced at the front line that was occupied by Sekiguchi Bei, Sena Bei, and Asahina Bei, all of which were holding back his own troops who were unable to escape. Then he looked at the enemy flags who were being escorted to the ground in a state of embarrassment. Finally, he looked at the people beside him.
Asahina Taino, who was stationed in front of the horse, and the large group of cavalry behind him and the unresponsive friendly forces a hundred feet away, smiled bitterly and took off his saber:
"The Miura family is willing to dedicate their loyalty to the Fourth Young Master. Please convey this message to Beizhongshou."
"Choose wisely!" Asahina Taino sheathed his sword, then looked at where the red bird horse seal was, "Master Yukisai, what's the next step?"
