Chapter 876: Pick a soft pinch
Thinking of this, I only heard him speak: "Although I don't know much about the Satomi family, after a few contacts with my nephew, I can also come to the conclusion that the Satomi army is about the same as our army. ”
For his practice of always talking about his nephew and nephew, the other three people present scoffed, but at the moment they could only endure it.
"Since the combat power is not strong, there is an idea in the next place, why don't we meet the army in the raid?" After listening to Kamahara's assessment, Saito Kenhiro finally spoke his mind.
"Although the battle strength of the Keli army is not strong, after all, there are five thousand, is it a little reluctant to rely on the strength of the army under my command?" Although Kohata Sadashin did not rush to refuse, he still expressed his worries.
"Lord Kohata is too worried, what I am talking about below is a surprise attack, fight and retreat, and it is not a death battle with it, what is there to worry about, and the other party is in a hurry to march, it will not send too many scouts, so that the chance of victory can be increased by two percent, and the opponent's army is not strong, it is impossible to respond quickly, as long as we retreat immediately after the raid, it is impossible for the other party to form an encirclement of us, so that we have not only made great achievements, but also do not have to take too many risks, if this matter is not done, I'm afraid there will never be such an opportunity again.
Ladies and gentlemen, if we can't defeat the Hojo Army, can't we defeat the Satomi Army, and if we lose even such courage, even if Takayama-sama doesn't embarrass us, we will die on the road of the main hall in all directions, so I ask you to make a decision immediately. ”
"It's done! We should also let the world know that we are not stealing our lives. On the one hand, Yura Narishi was aroused by Saito Kenhiro's words, but mainly because the Satomi family's combat power was not strong, so he was the first to respond.
"Since the two adults think this way, then the old man will accompany the two of them on a journey." Kamaharaja Yukishige also spoke, although this proposal was made by Saito Kenhiro. But if he hadn't helped him, it wouldn't have been implemented, and in that case, he really had no reason to refuse.
Seeing that the three of them had agreed, Nobusada Kohata couldn't refuse, so he had to nod his head.
"Good. In that case, we will immediately gather our forces and prepare for a battle with the enemy. After saying that, Saito Kenhiro immediately got up, ignoring the other three family heads present, and went straight to the inner room to put on his armor. The other three immediately got up and walked out.
It has been four days since the Satomi Army left the army, and in these four days, the Ashigaru of the Satomi Army has only done four things, that is, eating. Sleeping, convenient, running, and the running time is the longest, but what can be done about this, this time the lord has issued a strict order, if you can't catch up with the spring mountain city within seven days, then who can't kill whom. I saw that more than half of the time had passed, but I had only run half the distance. If they can't catch up, then they will really die, so they can only shorten the time to eat and sleep, and even the convenience is when eating, or simply pee in their pants, if someone has an upset stomach. That's miserable, you can only run quickly, run to the front of the line, and then solve it in a few dozen breaths, anyway, it must be before the people at the end of the team arrive. Lift your pants, otherwise the military Mufu who followed the back of the line would not intercede with them.
Satomi's ashigaru is uncomfortable, and so are those samurai who can ride horses, although they don't have to run, but they are bumpy on their horses all day, and their legs have long been grinded into flesh and blood, but there is no way, they don't dare to stop either, otherwise the lord will not intercede with him.
As for Satomi Yoshihiro, who went out in person this time, he was also having a hard time, although the horse under his crotch was a good horse, and soft cushions were laid on both sides of the saddle, and his legs were still intact, but he was pampered and used to it, how could he adapt to such a life, so he would vomit during the rest basically every day for the past three days, but he must also insist, otherwise the Hojo clan will not be able to spare him, especially after he heard that the Hojo clan planned to start cleaning up the wealthy clans and affiliated forces in the territory, he did not dare to have any perfunctory, Otherwise, the name of the Satomi family will definitely appear on the list that will be cleared by then.
It was with this military momentum that the Satomi army faced the coalition forces of the Ueno clan that were about to meet them.
At this moment, the four coalition forces of Ueno are already in the dense forest at the foot of an unnamed mountain seven miles north of Rock Cabinet City, as the head of the earth, it is not difficult to find a suitable place for ambush, not to mention one, even if it is a very simple matter to find three or four locations. And when they left the city, the four of them all attached great importance to this place, where two mountains and a valley were sandwiched, and the foot of the mountain was a dense forest, and the valley was neither narrow nor open, so that the enemy could be attacked in a surprise way, and it was not impossible to exert it, and the front and rear were spacious, and it was convenient for a quick retreat after the attack. And since the Satomi army has taken the road of Rock Cabinet City, then this is the place where it must pass, and if you don't choose here, you are sorry for the title of the head snake.
As soon as the four allied forces were ambushed, the five thousand tired troops of the Satomi family had already come into sight, but this time it was an ambush to the enemy, and they had no intention of fighting the enemy head-on, so they did not take any action and remained lurking.
Until the other party has already walked half in front of his eyes, Saito Kenhiro saw that the time had come, and after shouting without any hesitation, he quickly rushed towards the Satomi army not far ahead, and the hundreds of Saito family troops behind him also followed him to charge the enemy, and the other three armies did not hesitate, seeing that the Saito family had moved, they immediately led their troops to rush out, and in the originally quiet valley, they suddenly shouted and killed.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! As soon as the coalition forces rushed out of the dense forest, the Satomi family, whether it was Ashigaru or samurai, immediately spotted them, and they stopped while shouting, but at the moment their legs were sore, and they couldn't breathe, so it was impossible to organize a defense.
When the enemy has already rushed in front of them, they can only make an instinctive resistance, but because their physical strength has long been exhausted on the road, they are no match for the coalition forces. So don't look at the coalition army, there are only more than 1,000 troops, but under the charge, the Satomi army is still rushed to pieces, and now there is no possibility of organizing a defense.
At the beginning, the coalition Ashigaru was still a little timid in the face of the enemy's 5,000 troops, but after handing them over, they suddenly found that although the other side was numerous, it was ...... But this combat power is really indescribable, they have seen weak combat power, but they have never seen such a weak one, and even after the fight, before they can make a move, the other party has fallen to the ground, this is a war, this is much easier than cutting wood stakes, the other party is completely waiting to let himself kill, so when the four families see this, how can there be any apprehension, such an opportunity to make meritorious service is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, every time you kill one more, it represents five hundred dollars, and now in their eyes, the enemy's neck is not a human head at all, It's 500 yuan, and it's not difficult to earn it.
And the four family heads and the samurai under their command faced the enemy samurai at the first time, and for them, it was not as good as killing a samurai to show their bravery, but just like the ashigaru under their command, the other party could also be called a samurai? After the swords and guns intersected, the swords and guns in the opponent's hands were either knocked away, or even fell off the horse together, it seems that these samurai have no martial arts at all, and they are not even as good as ordinary people, and they also found that as long as they fight, even if the other party is not injured, they also grinning and yelling, from the look on their faces, it can be seen that they are very painful, and the samurai of the coalition army are still a little confused, but when they see that the other samurai every time they fight for a round, they tightly cover their inner thighs, and then they understand something, As samurai, they know what the consequences of riding a horse for a long time can occur, and many people have experienced it, so the other party's actions and the other party's application immediately made them understand one thing, that is, they were lucky this time. All the coalition warriors did not have any caution, and all adopted the attack method of opening and closing, anyway, the other party had no power to fight back at all, and they did not have to worry about being injured, so what else was there to worry about.
Originally, the four family heads just wanted to shoot and run, but after seeing that the enemy was so vulnerable, they immediately changed their strategy to eliminate this army, and now don't look at their own side on the battlefield There are few people, but they have completely suppressed the other party, and if they are not eliminated at this moment, let alone when.
After making this decision, he only heard Saito Kenhiro stab the enemy samurai in front of him to death with one shot, and shouted loudly to the other three family heads: "You have reached the end of this enemy army, if we can destroy it, it will be a great achievement, and then not only can the family name be preserved, but also the trust of the main hall and more rewards, the future of our four families depends on this battle, please do not hesitate." ”
"I don't need to say anything about it, this is a godsend, and of course we won't miss it. Listen to the orders of the good family and kill with me! Yura Narishigeru said as he took out a shot of Ashigaru standing in front of him, and then rushed towards an enemy samurai in front of him.
Under these two situations, the Satomi army was completely defeated, and their combat power was not low, which can be seen from the fact that they can compete with the Hojo family for many years with less than 100,000 stones, although there is a reason why the Hojo army has been fighting on three sides and has not freed up their hands to clean them up, but if they are really as weak as they are now, with the strength of the Hojo family, they can be wiped out countless times by sending a little military strength at will, so it is indeed just an accident this time, but this accident is fatal.
