Chapter 420: Can You Escape? Escape!
"The Toga people are being attacked by the Tsugawa family, everyone speed up!" At the rear of the battlefield, Okubo Nagaki, who had arrived in a hurry from Wakimoto Castle, anxiously commanded the ships behind him to prepare to support Kitaura Kenji. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Due to the tailwind, the fleet quickly rushed to the edge of the battlefield.
Originally, Okubo Nagaki didn't find out about the battle here, but it was the fishermen nearby who found out and returned to Wakimoto Castle to report it to Joshiro Hasuda Mitsushige. In the end, Hikashige Hasuda found Okubo Nagaki, who was repairing at the Kadokan.
After knowing the situation, Okubo Nagaki did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly commanded the sailors under his command to come to support.
Whether it is Hasuda Mitsushige or Okubo Nagaki, they all know in their hearts that once the Toga people are wiped out by the Tsugawa family, then the only remaining Hachiro people will definitely not be the opponent of the Tsugawa family. And once the naval forces of the Ando family are defeated by the Tsugawa family, then Wakimoto Castle and Oga Pavilion will definitely not be able to hold it.
Both cities are seaside cities, and once the sea and land are blocked by the enemy at the same time, and the enemy army does not even need to attack the city, the city will automatically fall.
There are more than 200 sailors in Hachiro, 4 ships and 7 small morning boats.
By the time Okubo Nagaki and others joined the battlefield, Toga's situation was already very dangerous. The left and right flanks of the Toga people were cut off by the Motoyama people, and although the left flank was on par with the Iwafune people, the Fujishima Senbei on the right flank was flanked by Shinto Yoichiro and the Kohayamon of the Motoyama people.
Seeing this situation, Okubo Nagaki immediately decided to support Fujishima Senbei on the right flank. Because if the right flank is defeated, then Kenji Kitaura on the left flank will face the encirclement of the Tsugawa family and the navy without any worries. When the time comes, the Toga people and Hachiro people who are fighting alone will be slowly wiped out by the Tsukawa family.
And as long as the right wing can hold on, then the Tsugawa family will have to divide a part of their forces to fight against the right wing of the Toga people. Otherwise, it will be the Tsugawa family's sailors who will face encirclement.
"Give the order to help, let him lead the army to support the right flank of the Toga people! Others, follow me straight to the enemy general! Okubo Nagaki said to the standard-bearer beside him.
"Hah!"
Yosuke is the eldest son of Okubo Nagaki, and he is also the leading general among Hachiro. Although he is not very old, he is very brave in battle, and even Anton Shunji once praised him as the first person in Anton's naval army.
After receiving an order from Okubo Nagaki, Yosuke hurriedly took three small hayafunes to prepare to support Fujishima Chibei.
Tadanobu Motoyama, who was commanding his subordinates to surround the right wing of the Toga people, also sensed Okubo Nagaki's intentions, "You want to support the right wing and contain the forces of the main family?" Hmph, it's impossible! ”
"Order, except for the two Xiao Zao who assisted Shinto and Ichiro, the rest of the ships will follow me straight to the general ship of the Hachiro people!" Benshan said loudly.
Motoyama's faithful intentions are also very clear. Their side has an advantage in troops, and there are more ships than Anton's. If you, Okubo Nagaki, divide half of your forces to support Toga's right flank, and then the generals of Hachiro will be weak. At this time, he led the main force of the Honyama people to attack Okubo Nagaki's boat, and the enemy could only come back to help.
In fact, just as Motoyama Tadanobu had guessed, when the Motoyama people began to make rapid progress towards Okubo Nagaki's ship. Yosuke, who was originally going to support Fujishima Senbei, had to return to the army to support Okubo Nagaki. After all, at this time, the main force of the Honyama people had 6 Sekibunes and 7 Kozawa boats, while Okubo Nagaki only had 3 Sekibunes and 4 Kozawa boats, which was only half of the Honyama Bunge.
Seeing that the Hachiro people who came to support suddenly turned back, the Fujishima Senbei, who was fighting hard in front, was miserable for a while.
At this time, the right flank of the Toga people was already surrounded by the two small hayafunes of the Honyama people and the five boats of Shinto and Ichiro. Fujishima Senbei's ship has been separated from the small hayafune under his command, and two ships are currently being prepared to besiege it. One of the sekibunes has already started a broadside battle with Shinto Yoichiro's ship, and it may board the ship at any time.
"Don't panic! The archers shoot freely, and the rest are ready to fight! Fujishima Chibei kicked down a sailor who was trying to board the ship, and then brandished a sword and commanded the men on board to start a counterattack.
A ship can carry about 50 people. Fujishima Senbei's sabre-swordsmen and archers were split half.
The archers were on the right side of the ship, supporting the three small morning boats not far away. The Sabre Navy was on the left side of the ship, fending off the attacks of Iwafune Shinto and Ichiro's Sekibune.
"Oh no, there's a ship coming up!"
At this moment, Shinto and Ichiro commanded their own boat and came up from the side. Together with another ship, one left and one right sandwiched Fujishima Chibei's boat in the middle, unable to move.
Fujishima Senbei looked at the Tsugawa family's naval army who kept jumping from the two side boats, and suddenly glanced at the land that was faintly visible in the distance, and suddenly closed his eyes, "Amatsu, goodbye!" ”
"Kill!" Fujishima Senbei suddenly opened his eyes, brandished his sword, and rushed forward bravely, engaging the two honzan.
It's a pity that the resistance of Fujishima Senbei and others is superfluous after all. In the face of the left and right attacks of the two ships, the 20 or so people on the ship were not at all the opponents of the two times the size of the mountain, not to mention that there were two small morning boats on the side to assist, and from time to time they released a round of arrows to harass Fujishima Senbei.
The battle lasted only about a quarter of an hour before Fujishima Senbei was cut in half by a Motoyama sword. With the death of Fujishima Senbei, the rest of the Seki-ship-by-ship surrendered. When the flag of Fujishima Senbei was cut down, the three Toga-sunda Kozabunes that were surrounded not far away also surrendered.
Shinto and Ichiro split two small hayamo ships to take over the three small hayamo ships that surrendered, two of which had been swept away by the fire, and the Toga people on board were in a hurry to put out the fire. But the new household and Ichiro can't take care of the management, and the new Hachiro people in front of him are fighting with the people of Benshan, how can they be missing themselves at this time?
The right flank of the Toga group was solved by the combined efforts of the Motoyama group and the Iwafune group, and when Shinto Yoichiro took two Sekibunes and three Kohayafune to the rear of the Hachiro group. Okubo Nagaki panicked.
"Has the right wing of the Toga clan waned so quickly?" Okubo Nagaki said in disbelief.
A Hachiro crowd on the side said anxiously to Okubo Nagaki, "Chief, the enemy's right flank is moving towards our rear, and this is to surround us here!" ”
"Bastard!" Okubo Nagaki slammed the plank on the ship, gritted his teeth and said, "Toga-ko! Kenji Kitaura is a waste, it's not good to stay in Kitaura City, why are you running here! It's going to hurt me! ”
"Chief, why don't we retreat!" At this time, another Hachiro Zhong said in the ear of Okubo Nagaki, "Last time on the banks of the Omonogawa River, Togazhong took the lead in escaping regardless of our safety. If it weren't for the people of the Tsugawa family who were in a hurry to chase after Lord Stacho, we Hachiro would have been wiped out by the Tsugawa family long ago. ”
Okubo Nagaki is actually on fire in his heart, but for the sake of working for the Anton family, he is unwilling to tear his face with the Toga people. Now, the Andong family is unable to protect itself, and Kenji Kitaura is also under siege. There's no reason for my Okubo Nagaki to perish with them, it's a big deal to go to the male island, and I can still be hired again on the sea! ”
Okubo Nagaki, who had made up his mind, immediately said to the standard-bearer beside him, "Give the order to help, and the whole army will retreat to Oshima!" ”
