Sheet 1156 The battered old turtle!
It is said to be a breakthrough, but in fact, it is an escape.
However, Imagawa Yoshimoto knew that as the commander-in-chief, if he escaped at this juncture, it would undoubtedly be a big blow to his own troops. But there is no way to run away, and staying in this camp will definitely wait for death.
Because it's very simple, since the enemy army launched a night attack, then the target must be himself. And now there are the Matsudaira family and the Oda family as internal responses, and the enemy army is even more like a fish in water. If you don't run, you won't be able to run!
Imagawa Yoshimoto led his team all the way through the night, and along the way he encountered the strength of the Matsudaira family.
At this time, the entire Imagawa family's main camp was already in a scuffle.
Oda, Asakura, Asai, Matsudaira, and Imagawa were all in a mess, and there were countless family crest flags, and the battle was not lively.
However, Imagawa Yoshimoto no longer cares about the excitement, and now he just wants to escape from the area of the main camp first, and then retreat to the rear to redeploy other troops to support the main camp.
Not all the troops of the Imagawa family are gathered here, and there are more than 10,000 troops in the north and south of Kannonji Castle. Imagawa Yoshimoto's purpose was to mobilize the forces of these two places to launch a counterattack and repel the enemy's night attack.
Even if you are lucky, you can chase directly to Kannonji Castle. If you're lucky, can you keep the Guanyin Temple City from being defeated by yourself?
"There is a Matsudaira family in front of the troops to intercept it, and looking at the flag seal, it seems that it is the main team of Matsudaira Mikawamori!" Suddenly, a man next to Imagawa Yoshimoto pointed to the front and shouted loudly.
After being pampered for so many years, Imagawa Yoshimoto's body has become a little blessed, and he no longer feels as handy on a horse as he did back then. As the hooves of the war horse under his crotch shook, Imagawa Yoshimoto's body also jolted on the horse's back.
Looking at Imagawa Yoshimoto, who was swaying and might fall off the horse at any time, the Imagawa retainers around him all clenched their hearts.
"What are you afraid of, the Matsudaira family is just waiting for my men to lose! His father is still a minister in front of my palace, how can the young child who has just been dressed in the Yuan service be able to fight? ”
"Let's kill with me, and let Matsudaira know how powerful my Imagawa Osabe Daisuke is!"
In the battle of Tsubashisama in history, Imagawa Yoshimoto was attacked by Oda Nobunaga and captured, to a large extent, it was Imagawa Yoshimoto's light enemy and Oda Nobunaga's surprise.
At that time, the number of Imagawa Yoshimoto's team was not large, and he was suddenly rushed in the face by Imagawa Yoshimoto, coupled with the heavy rain pouring muddy roads and low morale, which was only then by Oda Nobunaga's hands.
And although tonight was also suddenly attacked, Imagawa Yoshimoto's main team was numerous. Most of the troops such as Asai and Asakura who participated in the night attack were held back by the Imagawa family's Ashigaru, and Imagawa Yoshimoto himself did not lose his "survival instinct".
In the face of three or five hundred blocking the road, the Matsudaira family is light, and Imagawa Yoshimoto, who is used to seeing strong winds and waves, does not pay attention to it at all.
In the Matsudaira family's troops in front of Imagawa Yoshimoto, Matsudaira Motonobu was also excited. After staying in the Sunfu Pavilion for so many years, how did Matsudaira Motonobu not know that this army that suddenly appeared in front of him was Imagawa Yoshimoto's main team?
Thinking that the first bow of Tokaido was in front of him, and he had a better chance to take it, Matsudaira Motonobu was suddenly excited, and the little brother under his crotch actually had a feeling of peeing.
"Shoot the arrows! Hurry up and release the arrows! Target: Daisuke Imagawa, life or death! ”
Soon, Matsudaira Motonobu's familiar voice reached Imagawa Yoshimoto's ears. After hearing the words of Matsudaira Motonobu on the other side, Imagawa Yoshimoto's face suddenly changed, and his body, which was already shaking on horseback, trembled.
"Bastard, you have done such a despicable act! The whole army accelerates, rushes over quickly, and does not fall in love with the war! Imagawa Yoshimoto didn't want to be a nobody's arrow, so he hurriedly kicked the horse's belly and waved the whip in his hand desperately.
The war horse ran more happily under the pain!
The flags and people who were following Imagawa Yoshimoto's side did not dare to slack off, and while surrounding Imagawa Yoshimoto in the middle, they also invariably sped up.
On Matsudaira Motonobu's side, the ashigaru people have already shot the first round of arrows. However, because it is too dark, the accuracy can be imagined. After the two rounds of shooting, no one fell off the horse, and Matsudaira Motonobu on the side had the urge to kill.
"Bastard! Stop me, stop them! ”
However, the reason why cavalry can be called cavalry is that having horses is naturally more upsetting than not having horses. With the speed and impact of the war horse, the more than 300 peasant soldiers of Matsudaira Motonobu's main team could not stop the charge of the hundreds of horsemen of the Imagawa family's main team.
In the era of cold weapons, a hundred cavalry charged into battle, and it was basically impossible to stop the charge without more than ten times the infantry.
Today is no exception, and Matsudaira Motoshin's personal experience has once again verified this fact.
"One day, I, Matsudaira Motonobu, will also form an elite riding team!" Looking at Imagawa Yoshimoto, who was leaving, Matsudaira Motonobu was devastated. gritted his teeth and showed a look of indignation, and secretly swore in his heart.
After asking Matsudaira Motoshin, Imagawa Yoshimoto and his entourage broke through the three lines of defense of the Matsudaira family with one face, and finally broke out of the encirclement.
At this time, the sky was white, and Imagawa Yoshimoto and others were already sleepy.
"Where is this?"
"This place is Myojin Mountain, and there is a Hiyoshi Shrine in front of it, and another Baekje Temple." A samurai familiar with the local terrain spoke up.
Imagawa Yoshimoto nodded, "Settle down in the shrine first!" ”
"A few of you should quickly contact the troops of Asahina and Okabe, and inform me of my whereabouts. In addition, let Ii and Amano gather here! I, Imagawa Yoshimoto, have never tasted defeat in my life, and I was so embarrassed by a few children tonight, it's really ridiculous! ”
"You must give the enemy a little color, otherwise how will the world think of this family!" Imagawa Yoshimoto grinned, revealing a mouthful of large black teeth.
Several flags followed the order, and Imagawa Yoshimoto took the rest of the people to Hiyoshi Shrine at the foot of the mountain for temporary repairs.
......
The night attack of Kenmasa Asai and Keitaka Asakura was huge, but all the troops near Kannonji Castle heard the news.
The Ii family and the Amano family each dispatched hundreds of troops to follow Imagawa Yoshimoto Kamiraku, and the two families were arranged to the south of Kannonji Castle under the jurisdiction of Asahina Shinji. As the head of the Ii family, Naomori I, and the head of the Amano family, Amano Keikun, they were naturally not eligible to participate in tonight's banquet, so the two of them fell asleep early.
However, it didn't take long for the two to wake up the two of them with shouts of killing from the direction of the Imagawa family's main camp.
"Asahina-sama, what's going on!" The two hurriedly found Asahina Shinji.
Asahina Shinji didn't know what was going on in his own camp at this time, and he didn't dare to act rashly until he found out the news.
"I have sent someone to this formation to inquire about the news, and there will be reports from time to time, so don't be impatient!" Although he was in a hurry, Asahina Shinji still showed the qualities of a famous general.
Soon, the people sent to Honjin returned, but it brought bad news to Asahina Shinji and others.
"Oh no, the enemy forces in the city suddenly attacked the main camp, Matsudaira Mikawamori and Oda Deyusuke seem to have turned their backs on the main family and are attacking the main family together with the enemy army!" A samurai entered the tent and reported in a panic.
"What!" Asahina Shinji immediately stepped forward and grabbed the samurai's collar, "What about the lord, how is the lord's situation!" ”
"The main lord led the department to break through and now I don't know what to do, this formation is now controlled by the Shaofu Hall of the Guankou Criminal Department and the Iiao Fengqian Guarding Palace, and the war is extremely unfavorable to the family!"
"Bastard! Gather troops and gallop to the aid of this formation! Asahina immediately ordered.
As soon as he finished speaking, another fast horse stopped outside the tent. A samurai with three peacock feathers on his back stepped into the tent, and this was the envoy of Imagawa Yoshimoto's main team in charge of heralding.
