Chapter 221: The Commander is Captured
(Maybe it's to kill people, or to show off the merits, in short, more than 800 people of the elite horse of the seven-hand group were wiped out in less than an hour, as the general of the battle, Fujido Takatora did not show even a point of pride, and afterwards at the evaluation meeting to report the battle situation to Hideho, he explained the reason:
"In this battle, our army won more with less, and it was completely the result of the right time, place and people, if it was really a confrontation with open swords and guns, it was difficult to have a chance of winning
Shouldn't we call ourselves 'samurai' and decide victory or defeat with the height of force? Therefore, the defeat of the enemy in this battle was due to the wisdom of the high tiger, not the bravery, and the samurai could not show bravery, so what was there to be proud of? ”
Fujido Takatora had long heard rumors that he was called "Toyotomi's No. 1 Wise Commander", but he was not complacent about this reputation, on the contrary, he was looking for opportunities to prove his bravery and prove that he was a qualified samurai
Of course, this view was questioned and corrected by Hideho, who believed that "samurai" were not "martial artists" and could not show their abilities entirely by martial arts; The reason why it is called "shi" is that there are more strategies and wisdom of "shidaifu" that ordinary martial artists do not have, and it has reached the realm of the fusion of wisdom and force, which is the true meaning of samurai, whether it is Minamoto Yoritomi Asahikaga or Oda Nobunaga, or Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu, which one can achieve by force alone? Therefore, far from being superfluous to the samurai, resourcefulness is indispensable, and Fujido should not be ashamed of his great victory with his resourcefulness, but should be glad and proud to have such a brilliant head
Of course, Hidebo's words were told to Fujido Takatora afterwards, and at this moment, he still organized the army to come to Kobashi Village to rest and recuperate with a sense of anxiety Because of the mountain fire and rumbling cannons, everyone concluded that the Nakajima clan five miles away would definitely notice the abnormality here, but out of a miscalculation of the strength of the enemy and us, he should believe that the Toyotomi army was wiped out by Atsumi in this battle, so he would not make too many changes to the military deployment, eight hundred people defended a small Hirano Pass, and the defenders would be difficult to lose even if they were mediocre and difficult to lose, Moreover, there are only 300 people on the part of the city
In view of this, Fujido Takatora decided that the troops would temporarily stay in Kobashi Village, and everything would wait for the situation of Takatsuki Castle and Tamaostomy to make a decisionOgasawara Takakiyo did not agree with Fujido's approach, he thought that the soldiers were fast and fast, and if they wasted time, they would only give the initiative to others, and whether Tsuda Nobunari could successfully enter Osaka Aoki Toshiju or whether he could ambush Maeda Toshinaga was still unknown If they made a mistake and the army did not move, wouldn't it be a dangerous situation for Hideto, therefore, he eliminated Fujido Takatora to give him a hundred troops, He led the way to harass the Nakajima clan and lure his army away from Hiranoguchi, and then Fujido and Komiyayama led the remaining 200 men to sneak in and join forces with the Tsuda army of Higashi-Sannomaru to occupy Sannomaru, and then meet Hideho and Shomizu Morihisa, who had entered from Funaba, and the three-way army converged at Oteguchi, and in one fell swoop, they attacked Ninomaru and completely wiped out Okinaga's rebels
I have to say that Ogasawara Takakiyo's worries are right, and without knowing the movements of the other armies, he should indeed take action to avoid damage to the main force, but Fujido Takatora doesn't think so, and things are going much smoother than Ogasawara Takakiyo imagined
While the two were arguing over whether to attack Hirano Mouth, the ninjas sent to Takatsuki Castle rushed to Kobashi Village with a letter from Toshiki Aoki and Naori Shinjo
"Kaiyu Minbu, the Ono rebels have been ambushed by our army in the south of Takatsuki Castle, with heavy casualties, more than 400 killed, 40 prisoners, 30 escapees, a total of 120 casualties of our army, Major General Echichu has now been escorted to Sawagami and handed over to Surugamori to guard"
The ninja's words were sonorous and powerful, and everyone was also excited when they heard it, but they didn't expect that Sasayama's counter-sneak attack had just ended, and the ambush battle of Takatsuki Castle had won a great victory, and it seemed that the outer obstacles to attack Osaka had been cleared, and the rest was to attack the city and clear the remnants of the enemy
"Of the thirty people who escaped, did Lord Aoki order to hunt them down?" Fujitang Gaohu still had a serious face and asked solemnly
The ninja nodded and replied, "Your Excellency has sent people to chase after the war, but only nine have been captured, in order to prevent them from returning to Osaka to report the news, your Excellency sent someone to Tsuda Nagato Mamoru to inform him that he is ready to respond, I think that at this moment, more than 300 troops have set off from Takatsuki Castle and are on the way to Higashi-Osaka."
Hearing this, Fujido Takahu finally breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that this Aoki Toshiju's reaction ability is okay, at least understand the truth of "making up for the dead", since the east road has already started, then he should also move north, after all, there are eight hundred people in the Hirano Pass, there are three hundred in the jade stoma, and the total strength of Tsuda and Aoki is only more than eight hundred, if you watch from the wall, then the east road will be embarrassed
"Ogasawara-sama," Fujido Takatora said solemnly, "Please forgive me for my offense, this attack on Hiranoguchi to contain the Nakajima Army must be your heavy responsibility, and you must allocate a hundred people to you as the vanguard, be sure to divert the Nakajima Army away from Hirano Mouth, and buy time for the convergence of this army and the East Route Army!" ”
"The old man is too hasty, adults don't need to mind, it is an honor for Takashi to be the striker of this battle, please rest assured, Nakajima Xiaoer's rabble will be dealt with below" Ogasawara Takakiyo lowered his head heavily, and the harmony was as thick and loud as a bell
"Okay guys," Fujitang Gaohu slowly got up, looked around, raised his horsewhip and pointed to the north, and said in a deep voice: "The great cause of the lord is fighting here, and we must go all out!" ”
"Haha, we dare not be loyal to death!" Everyone in the audience nodded fiercely, clenched their fists and roared, this roar was as fierce as the sea, and the entire Xiaoqiao Village trembled
After that, Ogasawara Takakiyo took over the twenty-eight constellations used by the general of the vanguard from the hands of Fujido Takatora, strode to the outside of the formation and turned over his horse, raised his arms and exhaled, only to see the thirty cavalry behind him roaring, gearing up, ready to go
"Meritorious achievements are at this time, do you want to follow me?!" Ogasawara Takashi shouted at the top of his voice, his eyes shining brightly like never before
"Swear to follow your lordship! Swear to follow the adults! The samurai were infected by the fierce momentum of the old man in front of them, and they screamed with emotion as they brandished their swords and spears
"In that case, let's go with the old man!" With that, Ogasawara Takakiyo shook the reins violently, waved his horsewhip and left, followed by the cavalry and ashigaru, and just as everyone watched with anticipation, the 100-man vanguard left Kobashi Village
Seeing this situation, Fujitang Gaohu also turned on the horse's back and roared angrily: "The old general is still like this, how can the incompetent junior be a person who is afraid of death?" Everyone, follow me, and be sure to arrive at Hiranoguchi before Aoki-sama! ”
"We obey!" The military generals led by Komiyayama Harutsu rode their horses neatly, and followed Fujido Takahu out of Xiaoqiao Village, and in an instant, the sand and stones were rolling, and the dusty lands and elders of Xiaoqiao Village were frightened by this momentum, and it took a long time to come to their senses
"Elder, have you ever seen such a fierce army?" The ground trembled and asked
"I've seen it," the old man stroked his gray beard and nodded slowly
"Who is it?" The ground was startled and hurriedly asked
A cold light flashed in the old man's eyes, and he replied coldly: "'Overlord' and 'Ten Kingdoms Taishou' Miyoshi Repair Doctor Chokei" (To be continued.)
