Chapter 423: The Decisive Battle at the Top of Suzuru
Suhe Mountain is a small hill located in the southwest of Hinoyama City, adjacent to Balong Mountain, and is a branch of Balong Mountain. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
There is a narrow path next to each other, and this path is the only way to Hiyama Castle. After the Ando family's forces retreated from the north bank of the Yyogawa River, they came here to set up a formation, trying to use the terrain of this place to block the attack of the Tsugawa family.
After the Andong family's troops were deployed, the Tsugawa family's troops also followed closely behind and came to the foot of Mt. Yalong.
"My lord, there are Eight Dragons Mountain and Suhe Mountain ahead, according to the detectives and ninjas of the family, the troops of the Anton family are deployed here. Anton Shunji's main camp is located on the top of Mount Suzuru. Jiro Iwaki stood beside Soji Tsugawa and pointed to Mt. Haktoryu and Mt. Sutsuru in front of him, and said slowly.
Tsugawa Soji looked at the looming Andong family's troops in front of him and nodded silently, and said, "Xingjia, send an order to Miki Naogo and Kawakami Tadakei, and be sure to set up a formation in the area of Haktoryu Mountain and Suzuru Mountain before dark." Early tomorrow morning, a general offensive will be launched. ”
"Hah!"
.........
On October 2, the thirteenth year of the Astronomical Calendar, when the morning sun rose to the top of Mount Suzuru, thousands of troops of the Tsugawa family had already set up a position in the area of Mt. Hakuryu and Mt. Suzuru.
Soji Tsugawa rode a war horse to the front of the team, turned to the soldiers behind him, and said loudly, "Cheer me up!" Today is a day of victory, and victory will definitely belong to my Tsugawa family! ”
"The Anton family ahead is just a bunch of guts rats! We were able to defeat the Andong family in the battle of Akita last year, and today in Suzuru Mountain, we can also trample the Andong family under our feet and bully them at will! ”
"The Ando family standing across from us is nothing more than a group of peasants, and the next thing you have to do is use your spears! Too knife! Kill these wastes to get merit! Do you aspire to become a human being? Aspiring to be a samurai? Now the opportunity has come, but whoever seeks the enemy's ashiki in this battle will have a first-class reward! Those who ask for 5 people will be rewarded with 10 yuan! If you take an enemy samurai, you will be granted samurai status and a certificate of appreciation! ”
"Now, pick up the weapon in your hand and kill!" Soji Tsugawa suddenly pulled out the sword at his waist and swung it forward, saying loudly.
"Wow!" The ashigaru of the Tsugawa family suddenly let out an earth-shattering shout and rushed towards the Ando family ashigaru in front.
In the camp of the Anton family, Yoshiyuki Sato looked at the Tsugawa family's troops who were rushing towards him, and also pulled out his sword and said loudly, "Everyone! The Tsugawa family has attacked, but don't be afraid! Victory will belong to our family, everyone kill! ”
"Kill!" With Oshima Yusuke and Yoshida Keijiro as the front army, Yoshiyuki Sato personally pressed the formation, and 2,000 Anto family peasants and soldiers from Matsushita Kenhisa and Takeyama Nojiro as the reserve began to roar and rush towards the Tsugawa family.
When the forces of the two families collided violently, the great battle began.
Miki Naogo and Kawakami Tadashi led Blue Bei and Midoribei to break into the formation first, and firmly blocked the Andong family's forces in the canyon between Mt. Sutsuru and Mt. Yaryu.
Due to the ruggedness and narrowness of the canyon, only one or two hundred people from the front of the Andong and Tsugawa families could fight, and the rest of the people could only be blocked from the back.
Miki Naogo brandished the sword in his hand and rushed into the formation first, and a dozen or so flags beside him followed closely around Miki Naogo to protect Miki Naogo's safety. After all, it is the elite five-color preparation of the Tsugawa family, and the combat effectiveness of the ashigaru under Miki Naogo is not at all comparable to this group of peasant soldiers of the Andong family.
A single charge repelled the Yoshida Keijiro and Oshima Yusuke's team. Miki Naogo's team continued to move forward like a bamboo, but the strength of the Andong family was untenable at all, and they were beaten back again and again.
Andong Shunji, who was standing on the mountainside of Mount Suzuru, watched the situation on the battlefield with a frosty face, and when he saw that his family Ashigaru was beaten by Miki Naogo and others without the power to fight back, his heart was melancholy.
"You can't retreat anymore, and if you retreat any further, the morale of the ashigaru people will inevitably plummet, and once the ashigaru escapes, it will cause a chain reaction in an instant. At that time, the situation will be out of control. Thinking of this, Anton Shunji hurriedly said to Kubota Jifang beside him, "Inutaro, you immediately take my flag book to support." No matter what, I'm going to block the Tsugawa family for me! ”
"Hah!" Kubota Jifang hurriedly took the order and left.
After Kubota Jifang left, Anton Shunji set his eyes on the battlefield again, and suddenly, Anton Shunji couldn't help but laugh.
It turned out that just now, for some reason, a big stone suddenly slipped from the Eight Dragons Mountain, and it happened to hit the Tsugawa family's troops. In an instant, more than twenty Ashigaru of the Tsugawa family were smashed into a blur of flesh and blood.
The sudden change made the Tsugawa family's offensive suddenly, and Yoshiyuki Sato, who was in the rear, hurriedly seized the opportunity to command Ashigaru next to him to start a counterattack. Miki Naogo and Kawakami Tadakei and others, who had already broken into the formation, suddenly disconnected from the Tsugawa family's forces behind.
The boulder was just in the middle of the canyon, and the Tsugawa family behind wanted to come to respond, so this boulder became an obstacle.
However, Anton Shunji and the others had just been happy for a while, and a sudden loud noise instantly made Anton Shunji's heart sink to the bottom again.
"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! Accompanied by a loud noise, there was a sudden puff of white smoke floating from the mountainside of Balong Mountain opposite, and then there were bursts of screams from the troops of the Anton family.
"What's that?" Anton Shunji's eyes widened, looking at the constantly falling ashigaru below and the constant noise and white smoke coming from the mountainside of Balong Mountain opposite, his face was blinded.
Not to mention that Anton Shunji was blinded, even Naogo Miki and Yoshiyuki Sato and others on the battlefield were also blinded.
I'm afraid that only Tsugawa Soji was awake on the entire battlefield, because when he heard the strange noise coming from ahead, Tsugawa Soji knew that Shimazu and Saburo had started to move.
In fact, the boulder that fell earlier was accidentally dropped by Shimazu and Saburo and 100 musketeers who went to ambush on the mountainside. Last night, Tsugawa Soji secretly summoned Shimazu and Saburo and instructed them to go to the mountainside of Mt. Haklong to ambush early tomorrow morning before the Tsugawa family sent troops, and only wait for a surprise shot when the battle was in full swing.
However, due to the sudden fall of a boulder, the original deployment was disrupted. In order to prevent Miki Naogo and Kawakami Tadakei and others from being routed due to the lack of follow-up support from Ashigaru, Shimazu and Saburo had no choice but to let the musketeers start firing.
"Ahh
"Heishichiro, what's wrong with you?"
"Ah, my hands! My hand! ”
"What's the matter, enemy archers!"
"Ahh What the hell is it? ”
In the midst of Anton's troops, the peasants and soldiers looked at their companions who died suddenly without warning, and one by one they looked around like crazy demons, looking everywhere for what suddenly killed their companions.
On the battlefield, the people of the Tsugawa family and the Anton family were stunned by this sudden scene, and they stopped their movements one after another, looking around in fear, afraid that they would be the ones who would fall in the next moment.
