Chapter 113: The Lion's Swiftness
"It's a worrying situation, Ota-sama." A handsome-faced but sharp-eyed samurai smiled and said to a tired-looking Ota Shimasa, "Please make plans early." β
Ota Shimasa looked at the erosion of the battle situation, and sighed: "In this battle, it was the Uesugi army that lost...... and then turned to the side and said in a low voice: "Does Hattori-sama have any advice?" β
It turned out that this close samurai was one of the three ninjas under the command of Tsukahara Moryu: Hattori Minister Yasu, because this involved the overall layout in the future, so Hattori Minister Yasucai personally went out and hid beside Ota Zizheng. "Lord Ota is serious, how dare I advise you? Just a little bit of advice. Coming from a ninja family, he knew how to be in a good position, first humbling himself before speaking his opinion. What's more, what Ota Shimasa said was that the Uesugi Army lost, not that we lost, which made Hattori Yasu very satisfied. "Now that the Imagawa army has broken through the flank of the Uesugi army, our position is very important. The adults can gather the rout of the Ueno country's wealthy clans, and when the Uesugi army is defeated, the adults can lead their troops to Edo Castle, and then someone will naturally respond. β
"Then there's the Labor Department." Ota's eyes flashed, and he instantly grasped the implicit meaning of Hattori Yasu: Bring the rout of the wealthy clan of Ueno Province to Edo Castle!
And Uesugi Asanoo, who led the army to a decisive battle with the Hojo clan, was full of bitterness: after Asahina Tai was able to defeat the flanks, he actually led the main force behind his back! In an instant, the Uesugi army fell into the embarrassing situation of being attacked on their backs.
The Hojo clan's Masanori, who galloped and shouted to kill the enemy, took the lead and rushed to the front line, and the Uesugi army immediately released arrows to stop it. Unlike being attacked by the Takeda army, this time the Uesugi army was in formation, and suddenly the arrows were like flying locusts, and the Hojo clan Masa's eyes were cold, and he was just about to wave his sword to block, but Shimizu Yasuei had already surpassed the Hojo clan with his superb riding skills, and a cross spear was brandished like a wheel, blocking most of the arrows that were shot at the Hojo clan, and occasionally a fish that slipped through the net shot at Shimizu Yasuei's big armor, it was also difficult to cause substantial damage. The Hojo clan, who was guarding the other side of the Hojo clan's politics, was dressed in red mother-robed armor and held an octagonal iron rod, which looked quite peculiar, but soon Uesugi Jun realized that the other party was definitely not a good stubble! It turned out that the iron rod in the hands of the Hojo clan weighed more than 60 catties, although it was far from being comparable with the generals of the Ming Dynasty, but in Japan it was already a fierce general with natural divine power, and he didn't see how to use the skills, just waved lightly at the spear array stabbed by the Uesugi army, and suddenly broke a large number of spears, and before the spears came to their senses, the Hojo clan struck with an iron rod and killed it, and countless Uesugi army soldiers were beaten with broken bones and tendons, and even the head and helmet were smashed to pieces! Such a ferocious way of destruction made the Uesugi army feel terrified, and the newly formed white and red bei behind them poured in frantically from the gap opened by the Hojo clan, and the Uesugi army was defeated and retreated for a while. Tominaga Naokatu, who was also fighting, saw that the Hojo Army under the command of the Hojo clan was so terrifying, and his eyes lit up, as if he saw the shadow of the Hojo clan Yasu.
"Is the lion excited......" Seeing that the Hojo clan broke through the six formations of the Uesugi army in a row under the protection of the Hojo clan and Shimizu Yasuei, and killed the Uesugi Asanao main formation in one go, many elderly Hojo army samurai also cried with joy: The lion of the Hojo family has reappeared!
And Uesugi Asanao has an evaluation of the Hojo Army's fighting style: simple and rude! Along the way, almost all of them were frantically attacked by the Hojo clan alone, tearing a hole in the Uesugi army's defense line, and then the other Hojo armies swarmed in, and even in his heart, he began to secretly compare the question of who was more brave and good at fighting between the Hojo clan and Hojo Tsunari. But the good fortune of the Hojo Army is over.,Although the performance is very good.,It's a pity...... "Ordered the two wings to be sealed.,Cut off the retreat of the Hojo Army's white and red preparations.,I want the head of the Hojo clan's office!" β
After giving this order, Uesugi looked behind him with a worried face, Asahina Taino had already led the army to kill, although the most elite 2,000 people were not mobilized, but several newly formed reserves were dispatched, but the number was still quite large, which brought great pressure to the rear army. If Uesugi Kenmasa can decisively send the 3,000 standing army of the Uesugi family to attack the rear of Asahina Taino at this moment, he may be able to force back the Imagawa army, which is not strong in battle, so that he will have enough time to eliminate the Hojo clan. Unfortunately, Uesugi knew that this was just wishful thinking, and that Uesugi would not use the 3,000 standing army under any circumstances......
"Hahaha, the little lion of the Hojo family resists very tenaciously, not bad, yes, there is a little bit of the demeanor of the clan Kanggong!" Asahinai was able to carefully observe the situation on the battlefield while smiling and pointing at the various forces. Ono Shinzaemon, who did not fight again due to his injuries, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Lord Asahina, after all, the Hojo family is an ally of the family, and it is the main army of this battle, and if the Hojo clan dies in this battle, it is likely to cause a change in the entire battle situation. β
"Oh?" Asahina Tai Neng looked at Ono Shinzaemon with amusement: "Then you think we should send troops to the rescue immediately?" β
Hearing the teasing meaning in the other party's mouth, Ohno Shinzaemon gritted his teeth and continued: "Shinzaemon begs your lord to temporarily hand over the command of the standing army to you, and you will definitely be able to relieve the siege of the Hojo Army in the next place!" β
"Hahaha," Asahina Taineng seemed to hear an extremely funny joke, and it took a long time to stop laughing: "Shinzaemon, Shinzaemon, the standing army is the master's hard work, although I came here to participate in the war with the intention of training, but if the casualties are too great, I can't substitute for the lord." What's more......" Asahina Taineng's face suddenly turned cold: "A powerful Hojo family is not in the interests of this family, as soon as Tsukahara MoryΕ« dies, the only one who can unify the Kanto region is the Hojo family." Only when Guan Dong has been in a **** state, can the family calmly go to Luo. β
Seeing Asahina Taino, Ono Shinzaemon only felt a chill all over his body, and was silent, just watching the Hojo clan struggling in the siege of the Uesugi army.
The situation of the Hojo Army quickly deteriorated, and the encircled officers and men of the Hojo Army were the most elite and combative part of the entire army, and without their command and leadership, it was difficult for the Hojo Army on the periphery to break the encirclement of the Uesugi Army. When Tominaga Naokakatsu learned that the Hojo clan was surrounded, he was so frightened that he almost sat on the ground, but then drew his sword and unsheathed it, roaring like a beast and leading Aobei to the rescue.
The Hojo clan, who was covered in blood and could barely see his face, panted and said anxiously to the Hojo clan: "My lord, you retreat quickly, I will lead the rear of the Akabi Palace." β
"Nope! The strongest thing about Chibei is the offensive ability, so leave the affairs of the queen to me for nothing! Shimizu Yasui said hoarsely.
Hojo shook his head coldly: "When did I say I was going to retreat?" β
"Lord!" Hojo Shigeru and Shimizu Yasuei couldn't help but be anxious, and just about to continue to persuade, the Hojo clan raised his hand, signaling that they didn't have to say any more: "Don't forget, the Imagawa army is still behind Uesugi Asanoo, and they can't watch me die." Now everyone, immediately continue to attack the Uesugi Naomoto Formation, forcing the Imagawa army to attack! β
