Chapter 319: The Return of the God of War
Under the impact of the 800 iron cavalry, the unprepared Uesugi army was in a big disorder, scrambling to the rear of the main formation, this scene made Tanaka Ashigaru who arrived later greatly boosted morale, in the face of the Uesugi sergeant who had no time to resist and scurried around, the Tanaka army with poor combat strength played extraordinary, whether it was a samurai or ashigaru, they rushed into the enemy formation desperately, taking advantage of the chaos to behead more, in order to exchange for more rewards after the battle.
After Wakamatsu's breakout, the Uesugi army had been demoralized, but thanks to the support of Tanaka Yoshimasa, the momentum was barely improved. However, after a while, the allies who were still fighting side by side turned against each other, and the negative effects brought about by this were far beyond Kaji Haruna's imagination, despair and grievances instantly dispersed in the entire army, yellow sand mixed with blood splattered on the faces of unprepared soldiers, severed arms and stumps fell to the battlefield with the shadow of swords and swords, and Tanaka Yoshimasa's defection made the entire battlefield as cruel and bloody as purgatory. In the face of the surprise attack, many temporarily recruited and inexperienced Uesugi troops could only be killed, which further aggravated the panic in the chaotic army; Occasionally, a few samurai rebelled and tried to turn the situation around, but the defeat was like a mountain, and how could a team of only a few dozen people salvage the defeat?
"The rise and fall of this family is in one fell swoop!" At this moment, Tanaka Yoshimasa was particularly high-spirited, he held a spear, rode his horse back and forth on the battlefield, and each shot could be "harvested", and Ashigaru who followed closely behind him lost no time in cutting off the heads of the dead and wounded sergeants as evidence of future merit. Hearing the shouts of the lord, Tanaka's army, which was usually as weak as a fish's belly, was greatly encouraged, and he became more excited and hard-working in slashing and killing, which lasted less than two quarters of an hour. More than 500 people died, and nearly 1,000 soldiers fled timidly, some fled back to their own camp, some ventured through the woods to escape into the village of Inomata, and many troops surrendered in exchange for survival.
Faced with the rapidly eroding battle situation in the central battlefield, Shinzu Katsushi and Chisaka Keikin, who were the rear army, immediately asked Uesugi Keikatsu in the main camp for instructions, hoping that he could send 500 reinforcements from Naoe Kansui to save the battle with the two.
Long after the cannon sound remembered. Uesugi Keikatsu learned that Tanaka Yoshimasa had rebelled, and after being surprised, he angrily said that he wanted to go to the battlefield to fight the Toyotomi army to the death, but he was dissuaded by Naoe Kanesu. This time, Shinjin Katsutsu and Chisaka Keikin's request for help made him think of this idea again, and Uesugi Keikatsu understood that if Kaji Haruna was eliminated, he would not be able to fight against the Toyotomi army, and the current plan was to suppress all his forces. Defeat Yoshimasa Tanaka first, and then make plans.
But Naoe Kaseki was still as resolutely opposed as before, and he felt that the defeat of Kaji Haruzuna was a foregone conclusion. Even if the forces of this formation are combined, it will not help. Now the only way to take the opportunity to withdraw the remnants of the army from the battlefield and go to the eastern cities along the river still has a chance to survive, after all, the castles of Nihonmatsu, Fukushima, and Miharu are still in the hands of the Uesugi clan, and it is the only choice at the moment to hold the castle until the end of the decisive battle of Hibara.
When he heard that Sergeant Uesugi had asked him to abandon the front line, Uesugi Keikatsu was furious. He drew his knife and pointed at Naoe and shouted: "You were the one who asked for a decisive battle at the beginning, and you are the one who asked for a retreat at this time!" More than 2,000 soldiers, don't care about it, let it be slaughtered? If you can do it, I can't do it with Uesugi Keikatsu! ”
With that, Uesugi stood up. He looked at the few generals under the table and took a deep breath. Ran said: "I'm a century-old famous family of the Uesugi clan, but today I ended up in such a situation, no wonder others, it's all Jingsheng's fault!" Now that An Yishou is fighting to the death for the honor of his family, how can I abandon it to protect myself? If you still have the trust of Keikatsu, give me another chance to go with me to meet the treacherous Tanaka Yoshimasa, and let him understand that I, the Uesugi clan, are not cowards! After this battle, regardless of success or failure, I will lead everyone to surrender to Youfu, and then all the blame will be borne by Jingsheng alone, and please rest assured that you will fight! ”
"Lord, don't be rash!" Naoe immediately kowtowed and shouted, "Hibara has already started a war, as long as it can hold out until after the war, the result is not yet known, if you surrender now, there is no doubt that the previous achievements will be lost!" ”
"Bastard!" Uesugi Keikatsu suddenly pulled out the sword, threw it next to Naoe Kane's feet with a "clang", and said angrily: "I have made up my mind, now you have two choices, one is to go out with me, and then obey the disposal of the right government; The other is to pick up the knife and cut it off on its own! ”
"Lord!" Not only Naoe Kase, but the generals present were also shocked because of this move, they didn't expect Uesugi Keikatsu to treat the first minister of the Uesugi family like this, it seems that Uesugi Keikatsu is determined to fight with Tanaka Yoshimasa.
"Take the treasure!"
Hearing Uesugi Keikatsu's roar, the little surname hurriedly took out a set of brightly colored but some years old Gu Zu from the tent, this set of special features is a head pocket with a golden Bisha Gate Heaven Front Stand, the status of this head pocket is equivalent to the Takeda clan's Wind Forest Volcano Flag, it is the god of war Uesugi Kenshin loved before his death, every time there is a big war, Kenshin will go into battle with him, Uesugi Keikatsu invited him out, so that everyone present was surprised.
"The Battle of Hibara was a battle that would decide the world, and unfortunately, I, Uesugi Keikatsu, could only participate in it as a supporting role... Whether the right government or the inner government wins this battle, the world will be stable, that is, for a long time after this, there will be no major war in the world, if so, this set of equipment will no longer be useful. Jingsheng invited it out, just to feel the sword light and sword shadow again before the arrival of the peaceful and prosperous world, so that the spirit of Qian Xingong in the sky can see, although my Uesugi Jingsheng has mediocre qualifications, but the martial arts of the samurai will never lose to anyone! Today, I decided to go into battle, hoping that the successive leaders of the Uesugi clan would bless Keikatsu to destroy the enemy army and keep the name of the Uesugi clan! ”
With that, Uesugi Keikatsu solemnly changed his armor, put on the front pocket of the god of war, strode out of the main formation, and rode his horse to the front of the army under the follow-up of Iwai Nobuno, Yoshie Dingzhong, and Naoe Kane, and galloped towards the center of the battlefield after a loud roar.
When this black whirlwind suddenly descended on the battlefield, Tanaka Yoshimasa's miscellaneous fish army immediately lost its advantage, and the sudden increase of more than 3,000 Uesugi troops led by cavalry broke through Tanaka Yoshimasa's defense line in an instant; Those veteran generals who had been on the battlefield for a long time were not old, and after entering the battlefield, they spread out in all directions, dealing as many blows as possible to the various units of the Tanaka Army; Uesugi Keikatsu is simply a different person when he goes to the battlefield, and the previous low loss has also been replaced by bravery and heroism, he is holding a ten-character gun with a red handle, rushing left and right in the chaos of the army, and the gun in his hand is very neat, and the god of war on his head stands in front of the sunlight and is shining with golden light, and suddenly if the god of war returns, the veteran of the Tanaka family of Nakyo is trembling. Kamada Hanbei was directly picked under the horse with a shot, Fukuhara Nagatai hurriedly turned the horse's head, and said in a panic while retreating: "This is the possession of Kenshin Gong?!" ”
