Chapter 81: The Battle of Kaguruga (2)

When the Otemen Gate was breached, Hosokawa Nobumoto only felt a chill behind him, once he was rushed by the Miyoshi army, the Hosokawa army that was attacked by the enemy on his back would inevitably collapse, he knew too well the urine nature of these peasant soldiers.

In a hurry, Hosokawa Nobumoto pulled Hosokawa Haruki: "Follow me!" With Ichiro! Yashiro! Let's go! Nether Iron Rider! Array Assault! ”

"Oh!" The horseback samurai of the Hosokawa family, who received the order, immediately built an assault formation with arrows centered on Hosokawa Nobumoto, which was the "Shangizumi Ryu Military Method" formation from Umizumi Hidetsuna.

Although there are no more horses, it does not affect the formation of samurai on horseback. Now Naotora Ii led thirty samurai on horseback as the arrowhead, and the remaining samurai of the Hosokawa family escorted Hosokawa Nobumoto and others to follow, and finally the samurai under Hosokawa Haruki led the back of the Ashigaru Palace.

Abandon the car and protect the handsome! This is what Hosokawa Nobumoto had in mind, and he is now leading his army to rush to the stables, and with the horses, he will be able to highlight the dead place of Kaguraoka.

"Kill!" A group of Miyoshi troops rushed over from the opposite side, and Ii Naotora also commanded the army to engage in a head-to-head confrontation, and now there are more and more enemies around, but the army of the Hosokawa family is getting smaller and smaller.

Finally broke into the stable, but the horses had been taken away by the Miyoshi family. "Damn! What a mistake! "Hosokawa Nobumoto knew this, so he led the army directly to leave at that time, and now he is under siege. Since Hosokawa Nobumoto could not be familiar with all the episodes in history, he didn't expect that the Hosokawa Army in history was wiped out by the whole army here.

"My lord! Look! The sharp-eyed Hattori Hanzo pointed to a mountain peak not far away, and saw that Rokkaku Yoshiken's main team was defending on it, and Mikumo was commanding 300 bows and ashigaru, and the condescending salvo made the Miyoshi army suffer heavy casualties, and Ashigaru did not dare to approach.

"Huh? Rush over! Defend on the spot with the mountain peaks! Hosokawa Nobumoto saw that the mountain peak in front of him was steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, so he quickly commanded the army to kill it.

"Kill! Stop them! A senior samurai of the Miyoshi family led more than 300 ashigaru to block in front of the Hosokawa army: "I am the Miyoshi family, Misato, when the repair is bright!" ”

"I'm Hosokawa Ijiro Master Naotora!" Naotora Ii led thirty samurai on horseback to meet her, dressed in white armor and stained bright red with blood.

Jingle Bell! The two armies collided together, "Ha! "Ii Naotora stabbed a foot light over, his head was deflected, he dodged another foot light stab, and with a flick of his hand, he hit the head of the foot light and sent him flying.

The vanguard of the Hosokawa family was stunned by the strength of the army ten times their own, and the surrounding Miyoshi and Matsunaga armies surrounded them layer by layer like sharks that smelled blood.

"Report! Yakushiji Temple's teaching, Yakushiji Temple's heavy time, and Yakushiji Temple's heavy time were killed! The rear army is in a bitter battle! "As time went on, it became more and more unfavorable to the Hosokawa army.

"Heihachiro! Rush through for me! "The situation is critical, and Hosokawa Nobumoto has made the last killer move.

"Ahh I'm Hosokawa family Honda Heihachiro Tadatsu! Death to those who stand in my way! With red eyes, Honda Tadakatsu led the Hosokawa family horseback warriors to launch a decisive charge.

"Lord Yanamoto Yasada, Lord Yanamoto Toyoding, and Lord Yanamoto Yongding are dead! Collapse of the rear army! The enemy has entered the main battle! ”

"My lord, go away! I'll wait for the queen! "Kaida Keikane waited for the horses to return to the crowd to block the swarming Matsunaga army.

"Don't let them run! There is no way for them to escape! Kill! "Matsunaga Shu commanded thousands of ashigaru to instantly drown the Hosokawa family horses.

Burst! Burst! Belch! Yes! Hosokawa Nobumoto and the others stepped on the muddy ground soaked in blood, stepping over corpses, both enemy and own, but still firmly advancing towards the hill.

"Father! Whining! Fan saw the figure of his father Oura in the distance, who was trustworthy and fell, and was instantly shot several times by the enemy.

"Let's go! Fan! Kamemaru and Oto Jiro forcibly pulled up the fan and followed closely behind the lord Hosokawa Nobumoto, Hosokawa Nobumoto looked back at the people who had followed him since childhood, and shouted loudly: "All follow!" Only by keeping a useful body can you repay today's hatred! ”

"Oh!" The young people and the little ones supported each other, gritting their teeth and following their lords. Jiro Oto held the fan that had already fainted from crying, and he also burst into tears, remembering his father and brother who died in the Battle of Itsukushima.

Finally, at the cost of the Hosokawa army, they crossed this death passage and reached the hill.

With their backs to the rocks and their strong bows to suppress them, the Hosokawa army, which had only one side to meet the enemy, gradually mastered the rhythm and stabilized, forming a confrontation with the enemy army.

Matsunaga Xiu looked at the sky, turned his head to Miyoshi Yixing and said, "Young master! The hour is not early, and the Hexagonal Army is almost about to turn around. Let the battle come to this, lest we be surrounded. ”

"But brother-in-law, it's just a little bit!" Miyoshi Yoshixing said angrily that his sister, Miyoshi Changqing's daughter, is the main room of Matsunaga Hide.

"It doesn't matter, I think that the Hexagonal Coalition Army no longer has the courage to fight with my Miyoshi family, and besides, this time it has won a lot, and the set task has been completed." Matsunaga Xiu judged the situation and persuaded him.

"Alright then, withdraw!" It seems that Miyoshi Yoshiko listens to Matsunaga Hide's words.

Before leaving, Matsunaga Xiu glanced back at the Hosokawa army, and there was also a cold light in the opposite army looking at him, looking at each other, he would be an eternal enemy!

Watching the Miyoshi Army retreat like a tide, the stupid pig-like Hexagon Yoshiken was still preparing to pursue, but was stopped by Urayu Hyunhide. Just kidding, with the remnants of 2,000 to pursue more than 10,000 victorious troops? It was the favorable terrain that forced the Miyoshi Army to retreat.

The tragic battle was over, the general of the Rokkaku family, Yamajo, was breached, the retainer Nagahara Shigesumi was killed, and more than 3,000 troops were killed.

And the Hosokawa family is even more tragic, almost all of the ashigaru of those guards have been lost, and the samurai who died in battle are all following Hosokawa Haryuki, the genealogy of the Hosokawa clan.

Hosokawa Nobumoto's 100 cavalry samurai also lost more than 30 people, and the battle loss ratio was as high as 30%. In addition, there are also Ashigaru group leaders Oura Nobunobu, Miko Tian Hizen Mamoru and Nagasaka Hikogoro were killed in battle, and there were also some casualties among the small surnames. If it weren't for Hosokawa Nobugen this time, Hosokawa Haruyuki would definitely die here.

In this battle of the shogun Jizo Yama Castle, each family claimed that they had won, and the Rokkaku Coalition retreated to Omi Province, and Hosokawa Nobumoto bid farewell to Rokkaku Yoshiken with heavy casualties and began to return to Owari.

Now that the horse is gone, Hosokawa Nobumoto, who was walking on the road, looked at his own military situation, felt extremely distressed, and said secretly: [In the future, I won't be a guest army, it's really a pig teammate who kills people!] 】

Hosokawa Fujitaka and Mibuchi Fujiei returned to Kyoto, where General Yoshiki was at his residence, and when he heard that Matsunaga Shu of the Miyoshi family had won the victory against Shogun Yoshiki, General Yoshiki praised him and presented him with a certificate of merit. provoked the two of them to mention how awkward they were, and they were also disappointed in General Yoshiteri, and Hosokawa Haruki followed Hosokawa Nobuyoto back to Owari Province as a member of the group.

At the same time, a large-scale joint battle broke out between the Tayama Army and the Miyoshi Army on the other side.
