Chapter 135: No less than his father
Seeing that the soldiers under his command suffered heavy casualties outside the city gate but could not open the city gate, the Hojo clan, who commanded the battle, couldn't help but be anxious, and actually turned over and dismounted, pushed away the guards, and rushed forward directly, dragging a Hojo army samurai who had just died in battle to the side, wielding an iron rod in one hand and holding a log in the other, exerting all his strength, shouting: "Break it for me!! ”
"Ha !!" Seeing that the Hojo clan was losing their bows, the soldiers fought with them on the front line, and their strength was infinite, and one hand was almost equal to the strength of two people, and their morale was suddenly greatly boosted, and they were already a little exhausted and took a few steps back again, and then rushed towards the gate of Edo Castle with a frenzied shout.
Honda Tadashian, who was guarding the castle tower, couldn't help but sink his heart when he saw this, he was like thunder in the name of the Hojo clan, and at a young age he was in charge of the strongest attack power among the five colors of Hojo, and he was a young man who could be called a leader. Originally, some people thought that although the Hojo clan was indeed talented, it was mainly thanks to the blessing of his father Hojo Tsunari, otherwise how could there be today? However, the Hojo clan Shigeru Nakajo Battle was famous all over the world, and in this super-large battle with a total strength of nearly 100,000 troops, the Hojo clan replaced his father Hojo Tsusunari and became the strongest spear of the Hojo Army's attack.
"Pass the order down and get ready for battle!" Honda Tadaan took a deep breath and said unwillingly, his classmates in the martial arts hall first defeated the coalition army six times his size head-on through the field battle, and then swept through the land of the two countries, attacking the city, winning the battle, attacking and taking, and then look at himself, especially if he was about to be breached on the first day, how could he raise his head in the Tsukahara army?
Honda Tadayasu was unwilling to return to unwillingness, which did not prevent the Hojo Army from launching round after round of fierce attacks, and under the frequent impact of the Hojo Army, the west gate of Edo Castle was already a little crumbling. After the Hojo clan joined the war group, the Hojo army was highly motivated and slammed the city gate harder. The gate creaked like it was clearly too much to support, and Hojo ordered everyone to take ten steps back, and then launched the final sprint! The last and most violent blow broke the fixed log behind the door in one fell swoop, and slammed the door open! The Hojo army suddenly let out bursts of cheers, and under the leadership of the brave and invincible Hojo clan, they poured into Edo Castle like a tide!
"Good." The Hojo clan, who was commanding in the distance, nodded, showing a little relaxed: "In this way, Edo Castle's outer pill will also be broken!" "The outer pill that broke the enemy army on the first day, or the outer pill of Edo Castle, with this alone, the Hojo clan did something that neither Takeda Harunobu nor the Hojo clan could do, although this god-fast progress cost the lives of too many elite soldiers of the Hojo army......
Soon, someone from the front came back to report the battle situation: "Due to the speed of our army's attack, only part of the Tsukahara army retreated into Ninomaru, and the other part was blocked by the army led by the Hojo clan, and now it is a fierce battle!" ”
"The good fighting of the clan is no less than his father, and it is really the luck of my Hojo family to get this fierce general!" The Hojo clan did not hesitate to praise himself, which made the Akabi soldiers who came back to pass the order very happy in their hearts, and they were even more convinced of the lord who gave them affirmation.
Not long after, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves in the rear, and the Hojo clan looked back, it turned out to be the commander of the green preparation, Tominaga Naokatu, only to see him jump off the horse in a hurry, and said to the Hojo clan: "Lord, you can't fight anymore, you must gather the army, otherwise the chaos continues, and it will be difficult for the samurai to command!" ”
The Hojo clan was on the rise, and was suddenly interrupted by Tominaga Naokatsu like this, and he suddenly felt unhappy in his heart, but for Tominaga Naokami, a veteran and a general with heavy troops, the Hojo clan was still inconvenient to offend, so he had to say nonchalantly: "Lord Tominaga has a heart, but the art of war has clouds: one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion, if you can't take advantage of the momentum of breaking through the outer pill to hit the enemy in one fell swoop, it's a pity to miss the opportunity." ”
How can Tominaga Naokuma not understand the meaning of the Hojo clan, the Hojo clan has just made a breakthrough, and he ran to stop, and he is indeed a little jealous of the suspicion of meritocracy, but the method of deployment adopted by the Hojo clan is to make Tominaga Naokaka have to say that the most elite troops either rush to the front line or stay in the rear, but most of the huge forces in the middle are peasant soldiers and small wealthy families in Musashi, and their own command is already very chaotic, and it is already a blessing not to fight each other in such a night battle. Now that the Edo Castle Outer Pill has been breached, all the people feel that the time has come to fight a good battle, and they rush forward with all their might, and in the dark, those samurai are impossible to find their subordinates back, so they have to advance along the rolling flow of people, so that more and more troops are pouring into Edo Castle, but the whole army is becoming more and more chaotic, to put it bluntly, the current Hojo Army is at its weakest!
Just as he was about to explain to the Hojo clan, suddenly the sound of the conch horn came from the darkness, and the Hojo clan looked at the camp behind him suspiciously, and then looked at the Edo Castle in front of him, and muttered to himself: "Could it be the Takeda Army and the Imagawa Army?" But the sound of the conch did not mean to decrease at all, but became louder and louder, and the experienced Tominaga Naokakatsu immediately judged that this was the voice of at least fifteen conch horns, and his face changed greatly: "According to the establishment, it is necessary to use fifteen conch horns to command at least five or six thousand people, I'm afraid it is the Tsukahara army!" ”
Tsukahara Army! A thunderclap suddenly sounded in the mind of the Hojo clan, and the young figure with a weird smile on Tsukahara Molong became clearer and clearer in his mind, how could that demon dragon come so quickly? What are the Takeda and Imagawa families doing? actually let thousands of people from the other side attack directly! However, when I think of the Takeda family, the scene of Takeda Yoshinobu's resolute opposition to being an enemy of the Tsukahara Army seems to be in front of me again...... Could it be that they colluded to suppress their own family? A thousand thoughts came to his mind together, and the Hojo clan had no idea.
Although the Tsukahara army could not be seen, the sound of the conch horn was heard by everyone, and the flank of the Hojo Army suddenly killed all the soldiers and horses, so that the already chaotic Hojo Army suddenly collapsed, starting from the place where it was attacked, the collapse began to spread wildly in the Hojo Army like a plague, and the huge night attack on Edo Castle actually turned into a rout of the Hojo Army in the blink of an eye! Even Tominaga Naokatsu was speechless, but this was not the time to be surprised, but the Hojo clan couldn't count on it, so he had to take matters into his own hands, and ordered again and again to try to stabilize the army, and as for the Qingbei who stayed in the camp, there would naturally be Hojo Tsunari commanded to meet the retreat of the army. But Tominaga's efforts were in vain, and the collapse of tens of thousands of people could not be reversed by an unarmed man alone? What's more, this is in the dimly lit night, many heralds left the camp and never returned, and after the attack, everyone's reactions were also varied, most of them were evacuated by Queen Cang, but there were also bloody brave people who tried to resist, but the situation was too chaotic, sometimes, they suddenly pounced on a fight, and it took a long time to find that the opposite side was also the Hojo Army, and sometimes, they thought that the other party was also a defeated team, but they did not prevent the other party from suddenly launching an offensive like a dragon and a tiger......
