Chapter 966: Mutsu (9)

Ghost Court Yuangang also fought hard, he knew that he was afraid that this time he would be unable to escape death, so before he died, he also wanted to pull a general of the Gaoshan family to do some back, so the spear in his hand was like a long snake, constantly stabbing out, without any defense at all, even if the spear in the opponent's hand went straight to his vital point, he did not dodge, but also stabbed at the opponent's vital point, which was completely a fighting style that ended up in the same end.

And he wanted to pull people on his back, but Nobusada Kohata didn't want to die like this, and it was precisely because of this that he was pressed and beaten by the other party.

It's just that this situation was quickly reversed, after all, this time the samurai sent by the Mutsu Coalition Army, except for the Oni Court Mototsuna, were not voluntary, and the heads of each family also had their own thoughts, and did not let the generals under their command die, but only sent retainers with average ability, so the martial arts of these people are really a little ordinary, and they can't resist at all when the Alpine soldiers are overwhelming, and they have already been killed on the spot, and those Mutsunoku ashigaru can no longer burst out of combat power, but the Takayama Army has no intention of accepting their surrender at all, No matter how they shouted and wanted to surrender, the cold weapon in the opponent's hand still entered their bodies without any pause.

Yes, this time Takayama Nobukatsu is indeed not prepared to accept their surrender, these are the most elite military forces of each family, once they are all wiped out, then only those peasant soldiers who do not even have armor, how can they resist the next attack, and destroy all these people, but also want to make those forces in Mutsu completely fear the Takayama family, nothing can be more reassuring than this.

Soon, half of the 1,000 troops had fallen, but the casualties of the Takayama family were few, because half of the army had fallen, and at this time, several samurai of the Ueno Legion also had the opportunity to help Kohata Nobutada to deal with the enemy's general, and with the addition of the Takayama samurai, no matter how brave the Oniba Mototsuna was, he couldn't resist it at all, especially after his right hand was pierced by a shot, although the left hand pulled out the sword from his waist, but it was to no avail.

Seeing that the battle was basically over, Takayama Nobukatsu came from not far away, and he saw the battle just now, although the other party had no combat effectiveness at all, but the performance of the samurai in front of him who was about Chinese New Year's Eve years old was still remarkable, so he also had the intention of recruiting.

I only heard him speak: "I'm afraid you have also seen the strength of my Takayama family, this lord is just a joke in front of my family, and this is so brave for my lord, it is really difficult to show strength only in Mutsu, if you are willing to serve me... ”

Before Takayama Nobukatsu finished speaking, he saw the Ghost Court Yuanzuna, spit out a mouthful of saliva to him, and then laughed and said: "Joke, my Date family only has the retainers who died in battle, and there are no samurai who have returned to the army, and today it fell into your hands, I have nothing to say, if I want to kill it, I have to listen to it." ”

Seeing that the recruitment failed, Takayama Nobukatsu couldn't help sighing, there was no shortage of retainers in his family, he just didn't look at his bravery, he suddenly had the idea of recruiting, seeing that the other party was so tough, he didn't persuade him, but waved his hand and said: "In that case, let's fulfill him over there." ”

As soon as Takayama Nobukatsu's voice fell, he saw a spear directly stabbed into the heart of Yuan Gang of the Ghost Garden.

After all the invading enemies were settled, the Takayama Army immediately cleaned up the battlefield, and after arranging the defense, the ashigaru men began to rest and prepare for tomorrow's decisive battle.

But they slept, but the heads of the families in the valley mouth of the Yamagata Basin did not sleep all night, at the beginning of the period, when they saw the fire outside the valley protruding, they thought they had succeeded, and their faces couldn't help showing excitement, but it didn't take long for the fire to get weaker and weaker, and the shouts of killing gradually became inaudible, and after nervously waiting for a meal, they knew that the sneak attack failed, not only failed, but also lost all the most elite troops of each family.

Although the big war didn't start, they all knew that this battle could not be fought, because they knew that their side didn't even have a chance of winning this battle, and they thought that even if they couldn't fight it, they could still do it with the defense of 30,000 troops, as long as they waited until the Kinoshita family came out, then it would be a victory, but now their most elite army didn't even hold up a meal in front of the mountain army, and the whole army was wiped out, how can this be fought.

So after a night of deliberation and quarrel, they then made a decision, that is, wait for each other to deal with it,

On the second day, after the Takayama army was reorganized, the army immediately attacked the mountain gorge, but as soon as they arrived at the valley mouth, they were greeted not by the Mutsu coalition army, but by dozens of samurai, kneeling in two rows outside the basin.

After receiving the report, Takayama Nobukatsu appeared in front of them, escorted by a hundred banner samurai.

Since he didn't know that the young general in front of him was Takayama Nobukatsu, the heir of the Takayama family, Yoshimitsu Mogami didn't dare to call him indiscriminately, and as soon as Nobukatsu came over, he only heard him say: "This lord, I know that I can't also compete with the Takayama family, so I have come here to dedicate my territory, and I am willing to go to Odawara Castle to receive the sanction of Takayama-sama." As he spoke, he raised the sword upwards with both hands, but lowered his head.

Seeing this, Takayama Nobukatsu couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, because he knew that the effect of last night's battle had been revealed, and these family governors were completely afraid, and Takayama Nobukatsu didn't want to eliminate them, but just wanted them to be completely afraid of the Takayama family, it can be said that the purpose has been completely achieved, but now a new problem has arisen, how to deal with them, is it really difficult to escort them to Odawara Castle to wait for their father's sanctions? It was just a casual remark on his part, and he didn't want to let his father have to worry about such a trivial matter.

"Okay, I know, you wait for all the generals to be dismissed immediately, and then go to my military camp to wait for processing." After Takayama Nobukatsu finished speaking, he turned around and left.

It takes a lot of time to mobilize Ashigaru, but it is much easier to dismiss them, especially since these peasant soldiers don't want to fight in the first place, since they haven't started fighting now, they don't hurry up, in case they go slowly, and they start fighting again, and they can't leave if they want to go.

So in less than an hour, the Yamagata Basin was already empty, and Mogami Yoshimitsu was also thorough, not only dismissed all the peasants and soldiers, but even Ashigaru, who was responsible for the defense of Yamagata Castle on a daily basis, was not left, since the other party said that all the people were dismissed, then he still did a thorough job, especially now that he knew that the young general just now was the eldest son of the Takayama clan, Takayama Nobukatsu, he didn't dare to have any slack.
