Chapter 125: Stunned friends
In the main camp of Osaki Yoshinobu, Osaki Yoshinobu anxiously looked at the situation on the battlefield, and when he saw that the Ota Haruhue team and Nagasaki Takashi team had begun to retreat on the battlefield, Osaki Yoshinobu finally showed a smile on his face. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Shigenobu Endo, the enemy army has begun to retreat again, I don't know if this time it is really a rout." Osaki Yoshinobu asked Shigenobu Endo, who was beside him. Now only Endo Shigenobu can inquire about Osaki Yoshinobu's side, and the other retainers are already fighting on the battlefield.
At this time, Endo Shigenobu hurriedly replied, "Yoshinobu Temple, according to the following, the enemy army has really been defeated this time. ”
"Oh?" Osaki Yoshinobu asked, "How so?" ”
Endo Shigenobu pointed to one end of the battlefield unhurriedly and said, "Yoshinobu Temple, please look, the enemy Onodera Somei team on the right side and the Ichimu cattle herding team in the rear have also begun to retreat, and the enemy's main formation has also moved, so it should be a defeat and retreat." ”
"Hmm" Yoshinobu Osaki nodded in agreement, he thought the same way.
But as soon as he thought of Takakan Shigama's advice before leaving, Osaki Yoshinobu suddenly shook his head and said, "Let's wait first, what if it lures us to attack like just now?" ”
Seeing that Osaki Yoshinobu could still hold his breath at this time, Endo Shigenobu immediately hurriedly persuaded Osaki Yoshinobu to attack again, but unfortunately Osaki Yoshinobu insisted on waiting. Shigenobu Endo can only give up. Although Takakane Shigama and the clan Takatsutsugu have already attacked, there are still a reserve of several hundred people left in Osaki Yoshinobu's main formation.
Therefore, Endo Shigenobu did not dare to attack rashly, and he could only wait for Osaki Yoshinobu to send this reserve team out to fight, and then it was time for Endo Shigenobu to fight back. Calm as Endo Shigenobu, there is no absolute certainty, it will not be easy to expose the hole cards.
On the battlefield, Ichisu herding cattle and Onodera Muneaki unhurriedly organized Ashigaru and began to pretend to retreat. But Nagasaki Takashi and Ota Harushige really started to retreat.,There's no way.,Although I and others know it's a fake retreat.,But the ashigaru people don't know.。
The Ichisu cattle herding team and the Onodera Somei team were okay, after all, they didn't join the battle. However, when Nagasaki Takashi and Ota Harushige and others retreated at this moment, they would also face the pursuit of Takatsugu of the clan and Takakane Shigama. This fake retreat turned into a real retreat, and the ashigaru under Nagasaki Takami and Ota Harushige began to run behind one after another, and the formation suddenly dispersed.
Takakan Shigama was chasing behind and observing the situation, and after seeing that the enemy army was indeed defeated, he shouted loudly, "The enemy army is defeated, kill it!" Come on! ”
"Wow!" Osaki Yoshinobu's ashigaru morale suddenly rose, and they all accelerated the speed of pursuit.
At this time, Endo Shigenobu in the rear finally seized the opportunity and said to Osaki Yoshinobu, "Yoshinobu Temple, you see, now that the enemy army has been defeated on all fronts, Lord Takakan Shigama and Lord Takatsugi of the clan have begun to pursue. ”
"But the two of them have limited forces, so they are unlikely to gain any advantage. Let's hurry up and attack, or Osaki Yoshinao and the others will flee. ”
"This ....." ability is very mediocre Osaki Yoshinobu didn't know what to do at this time.
Seeing that Osaki Yoshinobu still couldn't make up his mind, Endo Shigenobu decided to "add a fire", so he said, "Yoshinobu Palace, I just got the news that the Kasahara Party has gathered troops and is about to rush to Imadeyama Castle to support Osaki Yoshinao." At this time, we must seize the opportunity to defeat Osaki Yoshinao first, otherwise when the forces of the Kasawara Party arrive, our army will be at a disadvantage! ”
"What? The Kasahara Party is also coming? Only then did Yoshinobu Osaki begin to say in a hurry, "So, chase quickly!" ”
"Quick! Command the whole army, pursue! ”
When Endo Shigenobu saw that Osaki Yoshinobu had finally given the order to pursue, he sighed with relief.
After returning to his array, Endo Shigenobu saw that Osaki Yoshinobu had sent the last remaining reserve, and quickly turned to Ashigaru behind him and said, "Everyone! As samurai of the Osaki family, we deserve to shed blood for the sake of the Osaki family! Now that Yoshinaden is fighting against the children of the Date family, I want to join the side of Yoshinaden and crusade against Osaki Yoshinobu. Everyone, you can go straight to the Osaki Yoshinobu main camp with me and kill! ”
"Wow!" Endo Shigenobu's subordinates are all composed of Endo Shigenobu Matsuyama Castle's relatives samurai plus Ashigaru, and they can be regarded as Endo Shigenobu's diehards, so after Endo Shigenobu gave an order, Ashigaru did not hesitate to obey Endo Shigenobu's orders.
At this time, Osaki Yoshinobu was still sitting in the main camp and fantasized about defeating Osaki Yoshinao, and then sweeping away the forces of Osaki Yoshinao in one fell swoop, forcing Osaki Yoshinao to live in seclusion, and then serving as the governor of the Osaki family.
But just as the dream was in full swing, an urgent report broke the previous atmosphere.
"Oh no, Your Highness, Lord Endo Shigenobu has rebelled!" An ashigaru said breathlessly outside the camp.
"What?" Yoshinobu Osaki ran over violently and said in disbelief, "What did you say!" Shigenobu Endo's rebellion... Mutiny? ”
"Yes, Your Highness, Endo Shigenobu is leading his troops towards this formation." Ashigaru said eagerly, "Your Highness, there are no more troops in this formation to resist Endo Shigenobu, Your Highness, run away." ”
At this time, Osaki Yoshinobu woke up like a dream and exclaimed, "Yes, yes, go!" ”
After speaking, he rushed out of the formation, took the reins of the horse in Ashigaru's hand and began to gallop his horse.
Later, Endo Shigenobu couldn't find Osaki Yoshinobu everywhere, so he had no choice but to start clearing the remnants of the troops around the main camp, and then began to regroup his troops, waiting for Osaki Yoshinao's counterattack, and then assisting Osaki Yoshinao to flank the clan Takatsugu and others.
However, Shigenobu Endo can't wait for Osaki Yoshinao, because the development of the gaffe has been unexpected!
In the previous defeat, Harushige Ota Harushige, the lord of Onikiriba Castle, was tripped and fell while escaping, and then was pierced by a shot by the ashigaru of the clan Takatsutsugi who rushed over, and then the head was cut off. When the news of Harushige Ota being obtained was transmitted to the entire battlefield, the situation that had been uncontrollable before began to collapse.
The Ota Harashige team began to collapse, and then the Nagasaki Takami team next to it also joined the collapse queue, and then the horses that were herding cattle were frightened and began to gallop, and the horse riding team suddenly became chaotic.
And the clan Takakatsugu and Shigama Takakane who were in pursuit didn't notice the changes in their own formation at all, and they were still pursuing.
So a funny scene happened. Osaki Yoshikata's fake retreat turned into a real retreat, and he was completely defeated, and he had no time to take care of Shigenobu Endo, who had no time to respond to the counterattack. The same is true of Osaki Yoshinobu, who rushed to the front of the clan Takaki and Shigama Takakane did not realize that their own camp had been captured by the renegade Endo Shigenobu, and Osaki Yoshinobu had also fled and was still in pursuit.
The battle did not end until the evening, and when the clan Takatsugu and others began to return with their troops, they were faced with an empty main camp.
"What? You said that Endo Shigenobu rebelled and attacked the main camp, and now Yoshinobu has fled and his whereabouts are unknown? Clan Longji looked at a wounded soldier rescued on the battlefield with a confused expression and said.
"Hey!"
"Bastard!" Takakan Shigama also joined the queue of stunned B at this time, "I didn't expect Shigenobu Endo to be a traitor, it's really hateful!" Today, I can take advantage of the situation to destroy Osaki Yoshikata's troops! ”
And Osaki Yoshinao and others, who temporarily controlled the defeat and retreat, finally received the news from Shigenobu Endo, and they were stunned for a while.
"Bastard! Why can't you control Ashigaru! Osaki said with a roar.
Takashi Nagasaki knelt on the ground and was about to pull out his ribs and cut his abdomen, but was stopped by Onodera Muneaki on the side.
Osaki Yoshinao said angrily, "Seppuku, seppuku!" What is seppuku used for? Your Highness wants victory! The victory in hand is gone! ”
"Get out, get out of here!"
In this way, a ridiculous joint battle ended, and neither Yoshinobu Osaki nor Yoshinao Osaki were the victors of this joint battle. After this battle, the two sides withdrew their troops, and I am afraid that there will be no more fighting in the short term.
