On the second day, outside Imadeyama Castle, Osaki Yoshinobu and Osaki Yoshinao each gathered troops and began to deploy outside Imadeyama Castle. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The main camp of Yoshinao Osaki was set up in the rear, with 400 peasant soldiers of Harushige Ota at the forefront, followed by a 100 cavalry team of Ichisu herding cattle, and 300 men from Muneaki Onodera and Takami Nagasaki on both sides.

On the other hand, Osaki Yoshinobu was at the top with 400 people from the clan Takatsuri, with 400 people each led by Shigenobu Endo and Takakan Shigama on both sides, and Osaki Yoshinobu also arranged the main camp in the rear.

"My lord, the clan of Osaki Yoshinoka's clan has begun to attack." In this formation, a ashigaru said to Osaki.

Osaki nodded and said, "Summons Ota Haru to attack!" ”

"Hi"

With Osaki Yoshinao's order, Ota Harushige's team began to engage the clan Takashi who were charging over.

"Kill!" Clan Takatsugu brandished the sword and shouted loudly.

The two ashigaru sides began to fight with spears raised, and after stabbing each other, only three or four ashigaru were killed.

In this formation, Osaki Yoshinao said to Onodera Muneaki beside him, "Soaki, once Endo Shigenobu starts to act, you will immediately wave your army to cover the kill, and I will let Ichisu herd cattle to assist you, go straight to the main camp, and be sure to obtain the head of Osaki Yoshinobu." ”

"Hey!"

On the battlefield, Ota Harushige looked at the clan family Takashi who was fighting against him, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he suddenly turned around and shouted, "Retreat!" Back off! ”

"Wow!" The Ota Harushige team immediately retreated while fighting, and the clan Takashi was overjoyed when he saw the Ota Harushige team begin to retreat, "Pursuit!" Kill! ”

"Yixuan Palace, the enemy army has begun to retreat." In the Osaki Yoshinobu Honjin, Endo Shigenobu said excitedly to Osaki Yoshinobu.

Osaki Yoshinobu stood up abruptly, waved his fist, and said, "Also, take this opportunity to destroy the enemy army in one go!" ”

"Takakan Shigama, Shigenobu Endo, the whole army will attack and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop!"

Endo Shigenobu smiled secretly and was about to turn around and leave, but at this time, Takakan Shigama said loudly, "Wait!" ”

In the confusion of Shigenobu Endo and Yoshinobu Osaki, Takakan Shigama said, "Yoshinobu Temple, the enemy army has been defeated a little strangely!" ”

"Your Highness, imagine that the front team of the enemy army is the lord of Onikiriba Castle, Ota Harushige, and the combat power of the ashigaru under this person's command can be regarded as the strongest in his family. And most of the Ashigaru of the clan Takatsugi are just peasant soldiers, and when the number of people is equal, it stands to reason that the clan Takatsugi is at a disadvantage. But now the situation has reversed, and it is Ota Haruhug who is defeated. ”

Osaki Yoshinobu's eyes lit up, nodded, and said, "That's right, it's really strange!" Even if you are defeated, you can't just start the battle and retreat, this is not logical. ”

"Hey!" Seeing that Osaki Yoshinobu said this, Takakan Shigama continued: "The enemy must have deliberately retreated to lure our army into pursuit. ”

"Your Highness, please see, the enemy still has a cavalry in the rear, and there are troops on both sides, if our army rashly pursues, the enemy on both sides of the ashigaru will instantly form an encirclement situation, and then the battle situation will be scorched. At that time, the enemy's cavalry team will take advantage of the situation to kill, and our ashigaru will definitely not be able to resist, and it will inevitably be defeated on all fronts at that time. ”

"I see!" Osaki Yoshinobu said violently, "Fortunately, there is Takakane-sama, otherwise you would have fallen for the enemy's plan to lure the enemy!" ”

The corners of Endo's mouth twitched, looking at the conversation between Osaki Yoshinobu and Takakan Shigama not far away, and thought anxiously, "I didn't expect to be beaten by Takakan Shigama crookedly and hinder our plan, no, I have to make Yoshinakaden pretend to be a little bit like it!" ”

Immediately, Endo Shigenobu said like Osaki Yoshinobu, "In that case, let's go back to the main camp (referring to the location of Ashigaru of Endo Shigenobu) first, so as to restrain Ashigaru and prevent them from attacking without permission!" ”

"That's fine." Osaki Yoshinobu nodded and said.

After Shigenobu Endo walked out of the main camp, he rode back to the Ashigaru team of the Endo family, and then Shigenobu Endo called one of his cronies Ashigaru and whispered a few words in his ear. Ashigaru nodded, turned and ran to the side, disappearing in a few moments.

At this time, in Osaki Yoshinao's main formation, Osaki Yoshinao asked with a puzzled face, "Zong Ming, why hasn't the enemy attacked?" Could it be that Shigenobu Endo repented? ”

Hearing Osaki Yoshinao's words, although Onodera Muneaki himself was full of questions, but the matter had come to this point, Onodera Muneaki could only bite the bullet and say, "My lord, maybe something happened to Endo-sama's side, and wait patiently." ”

"Hmm" Osaki nodded straightly, at this time, you really can't be in a hurry, often victory belongs to those who are calm.

Onodera Muneaki then said, "Why don't you let the Nagasaki Takashi team join the battle and try again according to the previous plan!" ”

"Good!" Yoshinao Osaki also agreed, "Send an order to Takashi Nagasaki and let him lead the team to support Harushige Ota, and everything will go according to the original plan!" ”

"Hey!"

In Osaki Yoshinobu's main formation, Osaki Yoshinobu looked at the Nagasaki Takashi team that suddenly came out on the battlefield, and said with a smile to Takakane Shigama beside him, "Haha, the enemy can't help it, depending on the situation, it should be Nagasaki Takashi who has killed it." ”

"It's the flag of Takashi Nagasaki." Takakan Shigama replied with a smile, "The enemy army saw that the plan to lure the enemy failed, and they began to be unable to bear it. Yoshinoden,Under the request to go out to support the clan family Takatsugi-sama。 ”

"Hmm" Osaki Yoshinobu nodded and said, "Yes, the clan Takatsugu alone really can't resist the enemy's two teams of Ashigaru. ”

"Hi" Si Ke Takashi and the leader of the order, "Yixuan Palace, remember, unless the victory and defeat have been decided, don't let the whole army attack easily!" ”

Yoshinobu Osaki nodded and said, "Don't worry." ”

When Takakan Shigama led his troops into the battlefield, the situation that had just begun to be unstable under the assault of Takashi Nagasaki began to gradually improve, and it was not long before the two sides began to scuffle again.

At this time, Osaki Yoshinao finally received a message from Shigenobu Endo.

"I didn't expect things to be like this!" Osaki Yoshinao smiled bitterly and said to Onodera Muneaki, "It turned out that the enemy mistakenly thought that we were luring the enemy, so they did not order the pursuit. ”

"Hmm" Onodera Muneaki nodded, finally relieved, as long as there was no accident on Endo's side.

"My lord, now that the enemy army does not believe in our deceit, then we simply pretend to be a little bit like this. It's better to let all the forces of the family start to retreat. Onodera Muneaki gritted his teeth and spoke.

"This ......," Osaki Yoshinao said with some hesitation, "but we haven't told the ashigaru people about our plan, in case .........."

"Lord!" Onodera Muneaki said firmly, "Without further ado, my lord, we must make a decision as soon as possible in such a situation." The further the war drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for our army. ”

"If we miss the best time, our whole plan will be in vain!"

After listening to Onodera Muneaki's words, Osaki Yoshinao also said as if he had made up his mind, "Okay, order the whole army to retreat!" However, it is necessary to fight and retreat at the same time, so as not to start the rout of the Ashigaru on all fronts. ”

"Hey!"
