199. Flower keiji
Facts have proved that I did not expect badly, the fierce general who galloped at the foot of the mountain was none other than Keiji Maeda, who was called "the first general in the world" and "the first marksman" at the time!
Keiji Maeda, formerly known as Maeda Interests, was born in 1533 and was a top general in the mid-to-late Warring States period. Maeda Keiji is the younger name of Sobei, whose real name is Interest, commonly known as Keijiro, is the brother of Oda Nobunaga's general Takigawa Ichiyoshi - the son of Takigawa Masashi.
Takigawa Masaki is the brother of the Maeda Toshiya - Maeda Toshihisa's brother-in-law, because Maeda Toshihisa, as the head of the Maeda family, is weak and childless, Maeda Keiji passed to Maeda Toshihisa as an adopted son when he was a child, and since then he has given up the surname of Takigawa and inherited the surname of Maeda.
I know it's a bit hard to understand this, but in short, Keiji Maeda is the nephew of Toshiie Maeda, who I shot last night, so it's not hard to understand.
Historically, Keiji Maeda is known for his strange costumes and is a representative figure of the Dongying Wonders. His adoptive father, Maeda Toshihisa, defeated Maeda Toshiya in the race for the position of family governor and became the new family governor. However, Rihisa was not in good health and had no offspring - although he adopted Keiji Maeda as his adopted son, he was still deprived of the position of governor by Oda Nobunaga, who was more fond of the Maeda Toshika.
So the resentful Maeda Toshihisa took his son Maeda Keiji and began to wander among the major cities of Toei as a ronin. For the next ten years, Maeda Keiji has been active around Kyoto, learning literature and music from Taisei Shirojo Kanedong and the right minister Saionji Koto, and learning the Tale of Genji and Ise from the Great Nayan Sanjo Komitsu, and the famous tea ceremony scholar Sen no Rikyu Scholar Tea Ceremony, and even learned the dance skills of randan, ape music, flute blowing, and taiko drums, and even learned renge, haiku, waka and other arts and other arts from the first master of renga.
During this period, Keiji Maeda also met his lifelong friend, Naoe Kanetsu, and began a long friendship between the two that lasted for more than 30 years.
At the same time, Maeda Keiji also learned the art of riding a bow and arrow from the lord of Ise Matsusaka Castle - Furuta Shigeran, and after more than ten years, it can really be said that he is both civil and military, and he is proficient in all eighteen martial arts. In 1581, the year before last, Maeda Keiji's adoptive father, Maeda Toshihisa, shook hands with his uncle Maeda Toshiya. Keiji Maeda returned to the Toshiya Maeda again until the death of Toyosei Hideyoshi, who became a ronin again.
In his later years, the Maeda Toshika family became a retainer of Uesugi Kenshin's descendant, Uesugi Keikatsu, at the strong invitation of his best friend Naoe Kanesuke. It can be said that Keiji Maeda is in the Uesugi family, and he really shines with real strength!
Later generations recorded this "world's first general" and "first marksman" when writing that Maeda Keiji was a person who "lived when he lived, embellished when he was about to die, did not move his eyebrows for troubles, and did not complain about mundane things", and also praised him for "a spear with a horizontal flower drifting, and the pine wind chasing the moon with me." The world is like a dream, and the world will remain famous forever". All in all, he is definitely a superb general with both civil and military skills!
When we really faced him, we knew that there was no vanity under the fame, and the BMW under his crotch was called "Songfeng", which was a treasure horse that traveled thousands of miles every day; The big gun in his hand is called "Zhu Gun", and he is also a famous immortal soldier! What Maeda Keiji pointed to at the moment was suddenly a bloody rain, and Shibata Katsuya was struggling to support him in the formation, but he had no way to get out!
He must be remorseful in his heart, regretting that he didn't listen to me-Maeda Keiji has appeared in Hashiba Hideyoshi's camp, doesn't it mean that the Maeda Toshiya has rebelled? I regret not believing my original reminder, otherwise I wouldn't be as passive as I am today!
I looked down from the top of the hill and clearly grasped that the tide of the battle was moving against us. Keiji Maeda's cavalry seriously disrupted the rhythm of our attack, and now the chaotic side has become us!
What to do? I stared down and thought to myself. Keiji Maeda's horse is too fast, and it's almost impossible to hit him with a single musket! How can you get him to stop?
I let out a long exhale, calmed down my mood for a while, and suddenly had a plan, and shouted, "Xuanhan! Come to me! ”
Sakuma Morimasa, who was fighting in front, heard my shout and immediately withdrew from the battle circle and ran in my direction! When he came to my side, he wiped the blood from his forehead and asked urgently, "What's wrong?" Brother, I'm killing up, why are you calling me back? ”
I pointed to Keiji Maeda, who was galloping below, and asked, "Do you see that person?" ”
Sakuma Morimasa stared down, and his pupils suddenly contracted! He is stuck in the crowd, his eyes are full of knives and guns in front of him, how can he see the whole situation like me? At this moment, after I pointed out, he saw Keiji Maeda in the formation below.
Sakuma Morimasa's eyes suddenly burned, this is the fighting spirit of the strong man burning! In his 31 years of life, his favorite thing is to challenge the strong! In the Hokuriku region, except for his uncle Shibata Katsuie, this Onigenhata has a record of fighting with almost all other strong men!
Today, seeing such a strange figure on the battlefield, it seems to be extremely brave, Sakuma Morimasa suddenly couldn't sit still! He pulled me and asked, "Who is this weird-shaped guy?" ”
I sneered, "Isn't it Keiji Maeda, the world's No. 1 marksman?" ”
These words just hit the scales of Sakuma Morimasa's rebellion, you say he can do anything, he just doesn't accept that others are better than his marksmanship! He has said many times that it is a pity that Yinrong, the treasure of the marksmanship, is old, otherwise he must go to this person who is "the best in the world in marksmanship" to learn, and he has to prove that his strength is not under it!
Here today, I met another person who is known as "the best in the world in marksmanship", how could he miss it! So he called his subordinates to prepare horses, he wanted to go down the mountain and fight to the death with this Maeda Keiji!
And that's exactly what I planned!
The black whirlwind-like Sakuma Morimasa turned over on the black horse, and rushed down the mountain with a group of people, shouting as he went down the mountain: "The military general in front is Maeda Keiji? Do you dare to fight to the death with my Sakuma Morimasa? ”
Originally, the momentum of the horses rushing down the mountain was quite amazing, and Sakuma Morimasa was famous for his loud voice, and Maeda Keiji immediately heard it clearly! Seeing a black charcoal-like creature rushing towards him, he knew that a master was coming, so he shouted: "Get out of the way!" Wait until I take this opponent! ”
During the Warring States Period, the most revered by the soldiers were brave warriors! Hearing that the two sides are going to "ride and fight", well, it is a heads-up, although the fight is tight at this time, but still honestly let go of a piece of open space! This is both tradition and custom, and if the Lord chooses to avoid fighting in the face of the other side's challenge, it will take a big blow to his morale, and it is not surprising that there will even be desertions.
Therefore, as long as there is an invitation to "one horse" in the battle array, as long as the identity difference between the two sides is not too big, it can basically be realized, which is also the best way for the Warring States generals to become famous. Otherwise, if there is no identity restriction, if a small soldier shouts at the opponent's main general and must accept it, then the wheel battle will also consume the opponent's general!
Sakuma Sheng Masato saw that the venue for "one horse to beg" had been completed, so he flew and rushed to Keiji Fronta, and without waiting for a word, he rushed over and stabbed out with a shot of horsepower!
Sakuma Morima's spear is called "Black Sand", and it is also made of iron all over the body, and it is extremely heavy! This shot was stabbed, and with a howling wind, it swept towards Keiji Maeda, who was riding his horse.
Keiji Maeda saw that this shot was in a hurry, and he didn't care about his horse standing still, but in fact, it was the reality of a loss, and he caught up with Sakuma Morima's spear!
All everyone heard was a loud bang! The two sides parted with a touch, turned the horse's head, and stood against each other again!
Sakuma Morimasa was shocked! His own blow was with the help of the impact of the horse, which can be said to be far more powerful than the usual swing of his spear, and the other party actually caught it like this? Sure enough, it's a brave general!
Keiji Maeda was also secretly frightened! The shot he just fired looked fierce and unparalleled, but in fact, he used the word "entanglement" in marksmanship, the purpose of which was to dissolve the opponent's fierce impact! Who knew that after this blow, his arms were numb, and his hands were still a little trembling at this time! Who is this big black guy on the other side?
The two restrained the horses face to face, and Keiji Maeda shouted, "Big black man, what's your name?" I don't kill the unknown under the gun! ”
Sakuma Morimasa shouted: "I am the first general of Hokuriku - Sakuma Morimasa is also!" Are you Keiji Maeda? Known as the best marksmanship in the world! ”
Keiji Maeda laughed, raised his red gun and shouted at Sakuma Morimasa, "It turned out to be Onigenhata!" Today is also considered to be a good talent! Let's compete to see who has the best marksmanship in the world! "Stop your horses and get ready to charge!
Sakuma Morimasa shouted excitedly, restrained the horses, and was about to rush towards Keiji Maeda, when he suddenly heard a gunshot from the mountain behind him!
He was still reacting in his mind, what about heads-up, who shot indiscriminately? But I saw a puddle of blood on Keiji Maeda's thigh! After this fierce general was injured, his upper body fell backwards, and he immediately fell heavily to the ground!
I shouted from the top of the mountain, "Keiji Maeda is dead!" The enemy cavalry is defeated! Keiji Maeda is dead! The enemy cavalry is defeated! ”
The people around didn't know what was going on, but when they saw that Maeda Keiji had indeed fallen to the ground, they immediately believed it, and the ranks of the five thousand cavalry suddenly had a strong confusion and began to retreat backwards!
Sakuma Morimasa gritted his teeth, knowing that it was me who was making trouble, and he was extremely resentful that I was messing with his highest-level heads-up plan! But I know in my heart that if I don't enter the army at this time, when will I wait? So he gritted his teeth, turned his head and glanced at the top of the mountain, Wangcai turned his head and shouted, and led his soldiers and horses to rush towards the chaotic enemy army!
