069

Night is coming.

It's been almost two years since the Echizen Raid as the first battle, and I've experienced a lot of things, seen a lot of the world, fought a lot of battles, and the number of people killed should be in the triple digits.

Seemingly, I like war very much.

After receiving the military order from Nobuki Ikeda, Mori Naga and I went back to our camps to prepare for the war.

And on Ikeda's side, the two of them are also making big deployments.

It's not enough for me and Mori to be the two of us, after all, he and I are both under twenty years old, so it's best not to expect too much.

The main camp on the Kamishiba Heights became Sakuma Morimasa, while the original garrison, Ikeda and his son, secretly moved their men and horses from the north to near the banks of the Tettori River.

It's only three miles away, and if the wind blows, Ikeda and his son can quickly go into battle.

And Takigawa Kazuki will take action before Sakuma. Since Mori Nagako and I, who were at the front line, confronted the men and horses of Yamamotoji Narunaga of Hakuyama Castle almost directly, Takigawa's men and horses also left Saruzaka and came to the river, where they echoed the team of Ikeda and his sons, who were marching to the left.

Tetori River bank.

"Report to His Royal Highness the Young Lord," the military commissioner reported on the military situation, "the whole army of 1,200 people has all crossed the Tetori River, and there are no casualties. ”

"What about His Highness Sen?"

"His Highness Mori is directing the troops to cross the river, and the vanguard has reached the middle of the river."

"How long will it take to finish?"

"It's going to take at least half an hour."

"Then wait for him." After all, it's just me, a thousand or so people, and I can't do anything.

"Young master, look!" Ke'er Caizang suddenly pointed forward.

It was still evening, and it was not yet completely dark, and the visibility of the field of vision was still very high.

I looked at where Kerr's was pointing.

That's where Keiji Maeda and I went during the day.

At this moment, flags were flying in the air, and a column of troops rushed towards us from above.

And on the military flag, it is tattooed with "one word and three stars"!

"Maori?"

"No, it's not! It was the family crest of the Hojo family, and the Echigo Hojo clan was a branch of the Mori clan, so the 'one-character three-star pattern' was used as the family crest. ”

"So, Hojo Keihiro is also here?"

"That's how it should be."

"Yamamoto Temple Dingchang plus Hojo Keihiro, do you think this is something I can handle?"

"Young master, don't worry too much, isn't it strange that Hojo's men and horses have appeared on the territory of Yamamoto Temple? Maybe Yamamoto Temple isn't here. ”

"Young master! The Yamamoto Temple Army followed behind the Hojo Army and also moved! ”

After listening to Miyake Yaheiji's report, I looked at Ke'er Caizang with a blank face, and the latter simply turned his face to the other side, pretending to be "I didn't see anything, I didn't hear anything, so I don't know anything".

While Hojo's vanguard advanced side by side with Yamamotoji's troops, an unexpected enemy appeared in front of them.

How did a surprise attack suddenly turn into an encounter?

Aqua bellflower lines? Yamamotoji quickly judged who the troops ahead were.

It's Oda Nobunaga's son-in-law, well, listen to the ninja report, and behind them, there's Ikeda Nobune's son-in-law, Mori Nagako's troops.

Judging by the enemy's readiness, it seems that they did not anticipate their actions.

Despite this, the enemy's reaction was swift, and they lined up in several formations, taking defensive positions, and waiting for their arrival in a neat and orderly manner.

"If you can withstand the Uesugi army here, you can wear down the enemy, and in that case, it may not be difficult to capture Hakusan Castle." I hurriedly instructed Miyake Yaheiji: "Prepare the iron cannon, and after a while, look at whoever has the brightest armor among the enemies, and fight whom?" ”

By this time it was completely dark, and although it was not so hot, there was no wind at all, and the weather was still hot, and the armor was wet and sweaty.

"Bang bang bang" A burst of gunfire shot from the bank of the river to the high ground not far away.

The surging men and horses immediately stopped their progress.

"Ahh

With a scream, Takahashi University, the general in the Hojo Keihiro Army, was shot in the head and fell off his horse, crying for his life.

"Young Master, His Highness Sen's forward troops have crossed the Tetori River, and they can enter the battle after a short rest, and the Chinese troops will arrive soon."

"Yo Si! That's great, everyone! ”

At this moment, a shout sounded, and the men and horses of the head of Yamamoto Temple went straight to the river and killed them.

At the same time, the bullets of the Wise Army continued to shoot at his and Hojo Keihiro's troops, making a shocking sound.

I had always thought that the Uesugi army was all cavalry, but now I realized that the proportion of cavalry in the Yamamotoji and Hojo armies was very small, and most of them were ashigaru with spears and banners wielding swords.

Because of this, the Uesugi army did not move fast, and from time to time people died under bullets.

Soon, Sen Changke also rushed over with his men.

The hand-to-hand hand-to-hand battle began.

One cry after another shook the earth.

In an instant, this area completely turned into a battlefield of blood and fire, and a tragic atmosphere was everywhere.

Hojo Jingguang didn't take the wise Shinmitsu in his eyes, the teenager military general, was able to lead the troops into battle, purely because of the care of the peak, he has seen this kind of thing a lot, there is nothing unusual.

But it is precisely because of this that while he is full of disdain for me, he also desperately wants to be able to get me quickly, after all, Oda Nobunaga's son-in-law, his "price" is very high, of course, if he can capture me alive, it will be a matter of showing his face.

But the battle had just begun, and Takahashi University in his hands sacrificed for the party-state first, oh no, for the "glory" of the Hojo family, which couldn't help but make him angry.

That kind of mood is like when you go to play with a cat, but you are scratched by the cat and a few blood marks.

"Okay, wise Xinguang, you bastard, Lao Tzu is here to take your dog's life!!" Hojo Keihiro's eyes were spewing with anger, but it was just the direction of this water-colored bellflower pattern.

In all fairness, Keihiro Hojo is also a famous player, and if the opponent is a famous player who has been famous for a long time, then he can definitely stay calm.

But I'm just a "little miscellaneous fish", and I kill his retainers, which makes his face go somewhere.

He can't stay calm anymore, and he can only save face by killing me.

"Call Yujiro! Wise Shinmitsu, this guy doesn't know whether he lives or dies, and he dares to insult my dignified Hojo family! ”

Hojo Keihiro ordered Yujiro Sakai, who was in charge of commanding the forward, to summon him.

"Takahashi University was tragically killed, and we all have to avenge him. Pass my orders, speed up, and annihilate the Ministry of Wisdom in one fell swoop. ”

"Yes."

The sound of trumpets broke the silence of the midsummer night, and the battlefield was filled with colorful flags.

"Young master! The Hojo Army threw off the Yamamoto Temple Army and slaughtered us! ”

"Okay, order the whole army, hurry up and turn the chair to the right, get out of the way, our goal is the head of Yamamoto Temple, and Hojo Keihiro will hand it over to His Highness Mori."

Seeing that Hojo Keihiro's brigade suddenly increased its speed, the Akechi army ignored the Yamamoto Temple army, and pressed straight towards them, but did not meet them, but the vanguard fell to the right and quickly moved.

In the eyes of Uesugi Jun, my dignified son-in-law Oda Nobunaga must have been so frightened by Hojo-sama's great name that he fled with his tail between his legs.

In fact, of course this is not the case.

"Here's your chance."

"Rush me!"

Hojo Keihiro was about to adjust his formation and continue to attack Akechi Shinmitsu when an earth-shattering cry suddenly sounded on the river bank on the left.

"Up, up! Up, up! ”

"Kill all these hillbillies in Kanto!"

Under the light of the snow-white sword, the handsome and dignified Mori Changke led his men and horses and rushed towards him.

"Humph! Another ignorant imp! Hojo Keihiro snorted disdainfully, "I'll solve you first, and then I'll clean up that damn wise Shinko!" ”

In the Hojo Army, Yujiro Sakai, who rushed to the front, immediately prepared to meet Mori Nagake, of course, they were well-trained, and they would not slow down their march because of this small change.

Just as Hojo Keihiro's army was surging like a tide, suddenly, a fast horse burst into the ranks of the Hojo army like an arrow from a string.

"Nobodies, all of them dodge for me, Uncle Ben is Mori Nagake, where is that guy from Hojo Keihiro hiding, Uncle is here to take your life!" This person is Mori Nagako, who is even more arrogant than Hojo Keihiro.

A ride!

Seeing the arrival of the enemy general, Yujiro Sakai instinctively stabbed the gun in his hand, but Mori Nagake blocked it with a blow and stabbed at Yujiro Sakai again.

Yujiro Sakai's martial arts were obviously inferior to the future "Oni Musashi", and two minutes later, he fell off his horse with a bleeding throat.

But Mori Naga didn't stop where he was, patted his horse, and continued to kill the Hojo army.

I saw that Hojo Keihiro's men and horses got out of the way, and after Mori Naga could pass with a dozen flags, they automatically closed again.

Mori Chang ignored this and went straight forward to kill.

He was wearing black armor and wielding a spear in his hand, flying up and down, blocking left and right, and there were several guys who didn't know whether he was alive or dead along the way to stop him, but in the end they all ended up in the state of returning to the underworld......

The war horse under the crotch also seemed to have wings, and with a long roar, it rose into the air among the people, and the frightened enemy hurriedly hid to the side.

When they came to their senses and picked up their swords and guns again, Mori Changke had already killed behind them.

At this time, I, who was in command of the Wise Army on the right side, also exchanged hands with Yamamoto Temple Dingcho.

With Hanano Keiji, Bamboo Sticks Hide, and a Oni Warrior (O∩_∩O Well, I'll admit, this is a bit of a spoof), my battle went quite smoothly, and the vanguard of the Yamamoto Temple army was almost killed, and the "Ghost Warrior" had already led people to attack the Chinese army of Yamamoto Temple.

"Protect the general, don't let him hurt the general!"

"Brothers, follow the adults and break in!"

The flag behind Yamamoto Temple was only twenty zhang away from him at most, and Miyake's subordinates, seeing that their boss rushed into the enemy army without hesitation, they would never leave it alone, and they rushed into the ranks of Yamamoto Temple's army like a raging storm.

(These days, I seem to have found the passion for writing books again, hehe)
