Chapter 53: Hopeless
Hearing Ueda Nobukata's shout, Komai Takahakusai hurriedly took off his hat and handed it to Takeda Harunobu, who didn't bother with anything at this time, so he took it and brought it.
When Ueda Nobukata saw it, he shouted again: "It's Takeda Harunobu Gong who is riding a tall black war horse!" Shoot! ”
The Bowashigaru shot arrows one after another, and Yazaki Heizou also shot an arrow that hit Takeda Harunobu's shoulder armor.
"Shot! Pursuit! ”
Takeda Harunobu was hit by an arrow in the shoulder and almost fell off the horse, but he held on and grabbed the reins of the horse, and the surrounding Qiben people immediately approached, so that the people chasing behind could not see Takeda Harunobu's back.
Just chased all the way, Ueda Nobukata was stunned and chased Takeda Harunobu to Nagawa City.
At this time, Komai Takahakusai ordered the Qiben people to return to stop the pursuing soldiers, and he ran to the foot of Nagawa Castle with Takeda Harunobu and shouted: "Open the city gate quickly, the temple is back!" ”
The defenders of the castle quickly opened the gates and let Harunobu Takeda and Komai Takahakusai in.
As for Ueda Nobukata, because of the desperate obstruction of the flag people, he could only watch Takeda Harunobu enter Nagawa Castle.
Ueda Nobukata shouted just a stone's throw away from Nagawa Castle: "Takeda Daizen Daifu's Hall, in the lower is Ueda Nobukata!" Next time, I will definitely take down your head! ”
"Oh!"
The ashigaras behind Ueda Nobukata raised their spears and shouted.
The injured Takeda Harunobu heard Ueda Nobukata's taunt, and he personally climbed the castle tower and looked at Ueda Nobukata who was showing off his martial arts outside the city, and his teeth itched with hatred.
Ueda Nobukata also had a good time, and asked the soldiers to leave quickly after cleaning up the battlefield, although Takeda Harunobu lost the battle, but the defeated soldiers are retreating to Nagawa City, he is now more than a hundred people, too arrogant will fold here.
The A army, which was defeated all the way, retreated straight to Changwa City, only to be rescued by its own reinforcements.
The soldiers who fled to the death, with demented expressions and only concerned about preserving their own lives, fled here completely by the psychology of the defeated masses, and when they came to their senses, some of them found that they did not even have weapons in their hands.
Murakami Yoshikiyo advanced to a place where he could see Nagawa Castle and stopped his troops, because from there, it belonged to Takeda's sphere of influence, and he was afraid that it would be dangerous to advance further.
At the same time, I feel relieved that I have taken down the head of the enemy general Harunobu.
At this time, Ueda Nobukata returned, and when he saw that Murakami Yoshikiyo was stagnant, he immediately stepped forward and said, "My lord, please attack Changwa City quickly!" ”
Yadai Masakuni on the side said with a smile: "What else to fight, although the Takeda family lost a battle, but what is the situation in Changwa City, the family is not clear, how can it be moved?"
Besides, Takeda Harunobu has been taken over, and the Takeda family has no leader, so they can't threaten the family anymore! ”
Ueda Nobufang hurriedly said: "Lord, it was only Takeda Harunobu's shadow warrior who was killed, and the real Takeda Harunobu has already hid in Nagawa City!" ”
Yashiro Masakuni was furious, Takeda Harunobu's head was killed by his retainers, which was a great credit, and now it was erased by Ueda Nobukata with a word.
He directly drew his sword and said, "Ueda Nobukata!" You're talking nonsense! Takeda Harunobu's hat is in the hands of his family, how can it be fake? ”
Ueda Nobukata was unmoved, but looked at Murakami Yoshikiyo and said, "My lord, now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and my subordinates are sure that Takeda Harunobu has fled into Nagawa City!" ”
Murakami Yoshikiyo looked at the Changwa Castle with flags waving in the distance, thought for a while and said: "Let's withdraw the troops for the time being, this battle has been won, as for whether Takeda Harunobu is alive or dead, the old man will send someone to investigate." ”
Yashiro Masakuni glared at Ueda Nobukata angrily, unwillingly put away his saber, and turned to leave.
The Murakami army happily withdrew its troops and returned to Toishi Castle.
When Murakami Yoshinichi returned to Toishi Castle, he first praised the merits of the castle generation Ueda Nobukata and his two military commanders, Azuma Kiyotsuna and Yazawa Soshige. And raise a glass to reward them for their toil.
"Now the Shinano area is back to its former peace." Murakami Yoshikiyo said happily. While drinking and talking, they talked about their military exploits.
"That's right! Right! Take a look at the valuable loot. "Yashiro Masakuni secretly moved the thirty iron cannons that Ueda Nobukata had taken from the First Army to Murakami Yoshikiyo.
"It's remarkable." Murakami squinted his eyes with delight. Seeing Murakami Yoshikiyo smiling, Yadai Masakuni asked for a reward.
"I beg the lord to send these thirty iron cannons to his subordinates, so that his subordinates will be more certain against Takanashi Masayo." Yadai Masaki said that he was determined to win.
"Fifteen of them can reward the defenders of Hushi City, so let's distribute them appropriately." Murakami Yoshikiyo looked at the expressions of his wife Kiyotsuna and Yazawa and said so.
Yoshikiyo Murakami intercepted and gave the fifteen iron cannons to Yashiro Masakuni.
Murakami Yoshikiyo authorized Ueda Nobukata to distribute the gifts, and on the spot, Ueda Nobukata gave five of the fifteen to himself, and then five of each were divided equally between my wife Kiyotsuna and Yazawa Shoshige.
My wife Kiyotsuna was deeply grateful for the generous gift, but Yazawa was full of unconvinced. Because the plan to attack the Oyamada team and destroy it was drawn up by Yazawa Shoshige.
At the same time, he was also in command of the 300 people of Saku. The attack on the iron artillery team and the capture of 30 iron cannons were the work of Azuma Kiyotsuna.
Therefore, he thought that they could take half of the thirty iron cannons.
In addition, ten of them had to be distributed among the main personnel of Sakuzhong. Otherwise, the Sakushi will not give up.
The Yadai Masakuni was just proud of his older age and the status of his family, but in fact they fought bloodily in Toishi Castle.
"Aren't you convinced?" Yashiro Masakuni said to Yazawa Soshige.
"I really don't accept it." Yazawa said without fear.
Ueda Nobukata hurriedly grabbed Yazawa and said, "Yazawa, don't be impulsive, in this way, take four from the iron cannon in your hand." ”
Mr. Yazawa's eyes lit up for a moment. At this time, he had hatred for Yashiro Masakuni in his heart, and he had a rebellion against Murakami Yoshikiyo.
Murakami Yoshikiyoshi didn't care about the reward, but now he was happy, and he said to Ueda Nobukata, "Nobukata, you did a good job in Toishi Castle this time!"
When you return to Youjin Yuanzhi, the old man will return Youjin Township to Youjin Yuanzhi, and the security is ready, it's up to you. ”
Ueda Nobukata is very happy, and if he really helps Youzu Yuanzhi get back the old collar, then his power will be stronger again.
However, Yashiro Masakuni stopped him and said: "My lord, Ueda Nobukata's protection of Toishijo is just a meritorious service, as for Youzu Yuannao, it has been many years since he left Shinano, and it is not worth wooing!" ”
Murakami Yoshikiyoshi shook his head and said, "Okay, the old man has already decided, and the credit of the letter is enough to get this reward." ”
With the endorsement of Murakami Yoshikiyo, Yashiro Masakuni didn't say much, but he was very dissatisfied with Murakami Yoshikiyo.
Ueda Nobukata just secretly glanced at Yashiro Masakuni, and began to plot in his heart to use the opportunity to bring down Kiyono Kiyohide to kill Yashiro Masakuni.
