Chapter 48 Co-optation
"Imagawa Army: Listen! Surrender or die! Choose one of the two! This sentence is the most heard by the Imagawa army.
Ever since they were surrounded, the Oda army had been shouting this sentence in a vain attempt to shake their morale. For them, this is not just a manifestation of Oda's military strength. It was not until they were attacked by the Oda army's first encirclement net that they found themselves with no hope of defeating the Oda army at all. The monsters in front of them are simply invulnerable!
"Report! My lord, the second attack of the Oda army began. Ashigaru didn't know that Taiyuan Yuisai had woken up, and he hurried into the room.
"Help me up!" The ashigaru looked at the trembling Taiyuan Xuezhai and gritted his teeth, he wanted to surrender, but this group of officers wouldn't let him!
"I'm going to take a look." But when he heard the weak voice of the military advisor in front of him, he respected and hated this group of officers! He admires the spirit of this group of people who will not admit defeat, and at the same time hates the stubbornness of this group of people who will not admit defeat!
Outside the tent, the soldiers and horses of the Oda army were clearly visible in the raging fire, and the beacon fire gave them color, and also gave the Imagawa army the last pass. If you don't surrender, you die! Every soldier of the Imagawa army knew that they could not escape from here, the best chance to break through had long been lost, and now that the encirclement network of the Oda army had been formed, it was impossible to escape from this group of soldiers and horses unless they had wings in their wings. However, even if they have wings, they have to ask the archers of the forest regiment if they agree!
The raging beacon fire reflected the immovable attack like a torrent of steel, they approached the main team of the Imagawa army again, and the neat pace forced the Imagawa army to retreat step by step, who wants to fight this invulnerable monster! They just want to be consumed with immobility, but who would have imagined that this group of monsters would not be afraid of wasting time at all, and they would stick to the line for so long.
"The sky is going to die, I'm far away!" Taiyuan Xuezhai looked at this scene with tears in his eyes, he couldn't stop all this, Jing Congxin took a mouthful of reverse blood from Taiyuan Xuezhai's chest, he felt an itch in his throat and was about to cough but felt a fishy sweetness, and the reverse blood spit out along his throat. The whole person suddenly fell backwards in despair.
"Surrender! Or death! "The Oda Army's pass plate is once again in front of them!
"Nope! We didn't lose! Never surrender! At this time, a high-level Yuanjiang shouted fiercely.
"That's right! How can we surrender here! ”
Listening to the voices of unyielding one after another, they were all city lords of the cities of the Yuanjiang River, of course they knew that if they surrendered, they would definitely not survive! So fighting to the end is the best ending for them!
"My lord! Look! Look over there! "The man with the eye of the thief saw a group of soldiers in red armor appear on the other side of the river in the midst of the Matsudaira army.
"What is that? The family crest of the Oda family! Among the red soldiers stood a banner with the Oda family crest.
"Look in this direction? Don't? "Do they still have the strength to defeat Inuyama Castle?
That's right, on the other side of the river, there is the Oda Army's invading Fire Legion, they have already bagged Inuyama Castle, and there is also a giveaway in the hands of Shibata Katsuie!
"Imagawa Army! Surrender! Your great name is dead! At this time, a powerful voice resounded in the sky, and all the Oda troops had a smile on their faces, and all the Imagawa troops were also bitter.
"This is the head of your daimyo Imagawa Yoshimoto! Unrecognizable? Shibata Katsuie rode on his horse and lifted the headless Imagawa Yoshimoto.
Time has passed, and Shibata Katsuya has kicked open the door of the house where Imagawa Yoshimoto is located.
"Shrunken turtle on dog day! Do you have the ability to come out? Bring your head to the sprinklers! Shibata Katsuie danced his spear into a spear flower, and the blood on the tip of the spear was shaken to the ground by him, and the cold light was re-revealed, and the silver light flashed on Imagawa Yoshimoto's face with a soaring murderous aura.
"Humph! Kill him for me! Imagawa Yoshimoto said as he pressed his right hand on his katana and faced his men. He can't do it himself, Imagawa Yoshimoto knows that his archery skills are extraordinary, but if he is allowed to fight hand-to-hand with people, how can he win!
"Do you want your men to give you a way to the underworld first? Come on! Shibata Katsuie held the barrel of the gun with both hands and took a ready position.
"Savages! I'll meet you! At this moment, a strong voice came, and an eight-foot long knife was pulled out by this man, and Iai, slashed at Shibata Katsuya.
"How daring!" Shibata Katsuya screamed angrily, flicking the tip of his spear against the blade of the broadsword.
Only listening to the sound of five or six swords colliding, the man was slowly defeated.
"Hahahaha! Boy, I can't let go here, get out of here! Although Shibata Katsuya let out a heroic laugh, he was really aggrieved, this room was too small, and he couldn't use all his strength at all! Instantly laughed wildly and kicked away with anger to the person who was still pestering Shibata Katsuya.
"Yoshimoto Imagawa!" Hearing only a bang, Shibata Katsuie's figure suddenly accelerated, and he used his body to directly knock away the wall of people surrounding Imagawa Yoshimoto.
This human wall had no ability to stop Shibata Katsuya at all, and I saw Shibata Katsuie's spear stabbed directly in Imagawa Yoshimoto's chest.
But what Shibata Katsuie didn't expect was that his spear head couldn't penetrate Imagawa Yoshimoto's chest at all!
"Huh? Inner armor? Shibata Katsuie immediately knew why he couldn't stab Imagawa Yoshimoto's chest. There is definitely a strong inner armor!
"I'll see who can stop me!" Shibata Katsuya ignored the eyes of others and pulled the gun back sideways, and the spear was drawn raw as a stick on Imagawa Yoshimoto's chest, and in this way, Imagawa Yoshimoto was beaten like a kite with a broken string, and slammed it into the wall in the distance.
"Stop!" Seeing that his master was bullied like this, the Imagawa retainers immediately shouted out inwardly.
"A bunch of lackeys!" Shibata Katsuya glanced at the group of shouting retainers with a look of contempt in his eyes. They were instantly stunned by Shibata Katsuie's eyes, and whenever Shibata Katsuie's gaze fell on them, the person who was still arrogant just now instantly lowered his head and didn't dare to say a word.
"Imagawa Yoshimoto, give me your head!" Shibata Katsuya charged again, his hands clenched the spear, his arms mobilized all the strength of his body, even the wound on his left arm was suddenly torn and splashed with blood, but the gun in his hand went out.
"No, no!" Imagawa Yoshimoto had just gotten up from the ground, and before he could recover his breath, Shibata Katsuya attacked him again.
He knew that there was a time when he was going to die if he didn't do something, but he didn't have the luck of Shibata Katsuie.
The sound of the spear breaking through the air reached Imagawa Yoshimoto's ears, and the louder the sound, the fewer his lives! This voice is a talisman!
He was right!
Shibata Katsuie's spear stabbed Imagawa Yoshimoto's chest again, and the cold light on the tip of the spear tore Imagawa Yoshimoto's coat before it could be touched, and the bottom of the coat was indeed a silver-white chain mail soft armor made of fine iron!
However, this thing can't stop Shibata Katsuie's life-threatening shot at all!
The tip of the spear opened and raged, and it blew through Imagawa Yoshimoto's coat, tearing through his armor, and destroying Imagawa's life at the same time.
"You! You! He still had something to say, but with a slight shake of Shibata Katsuie's palm, his life was completely gone!
I saw Shibata Katsuya pull out Imagawa Yoshimoto's saber, cut off his head, grabbed the spear with one hand and pinned Imagawa Yoshimoto's knife back to his waist with the other, and picked up Imagawa Yoshimoto's head.
"Surrender!" After Shibata Katsuya said this, he turned around and left, and the rest of the group was all a rabble, just wait for the fire to grind slowly. The most important thing for him now is to rush back to Owari and join Guo Jia and them!
"Take a good look! This is the head of your great name! Surrender is your best bet! Shibata Katsuya rushed to Guo Jia's place quickly, and when he saw that the Oda army had formed an encirclement network, he was stunned! I didn't expect Lord Guo Jia to really win a big battle!
"Me! I give up! ”
"I surrender too!"
As long as one person makes this sound in advance, it will be followed by the second and third!
One after another, some people dropped their weapons and raised their hands to surrender.
"Stop fighting! What are we fighting when our daimyo is dead! Surrender! ”
"Imagawa-sama Yoshimoto is dead, that's his head!"
"What are we going to fight, surrender! I don't want to die yet. ”
This kind of voice came from the Imagawa army one after another, that is, this voice messed up their momentum and defeated their military morale! Imagawa Yoshimoto's death is not a trivial matter, and it has become a fact. The wavering of the morale of the army and the huge gap with the enemy made them completely lose their fighting spirit, and in order to survive, they were willing to surrender.
"Thank you!" Guo Jia looked at Shibata Katsuie's back from a distance and muttered, and a smile gradually appeared on his face. This battle can be described as a great victory!
"Incorporate the remnants of the Imagawa Army, and leave the matter of the wind group to you. Remember, if you are willing to join us, let them join, and if you don't, you can leave on your own. "Guo Jia began to prepare step by step to absorb these nearly 5,000 troops, once this little soldier is assimilated and absorbed, the Oda army will have enough confidence to carry out Shangluo!
You must know that Guo Jia has never looked at Yuanjiang in his eyes, his goal is actually the entire island country! Therefore, it is inevitable to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes, oh! Wrong!
The person who coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes is the current shogun, and what Guo Jia wants is not to do this, but to hold this shogun hostage, double coercion!
"Takigawa Kazuki, you now go to the other side of the river and tell Motoyasu that the Miyoshi people are making small moves behind our butts, and I'm going to pinch them directly. You ask them if they're coming. Guo Jia spoke directly, he knew that Takigawa Ichiyi would definitely be by his side.
"Yes!" There was a sound in the air and it disappeared.
Not long after, Takigawa Kazuki arrived at Matsudaira Motoyasu's camp, but as soon as he came over, he was hit by Hattori Hanzo, who had already joined them.
"Master Guo Jia asked me to bring a message." Takigawa Kazuki looked at Hattori Hanzo and then continued to speak.
"In the next step, Lord Guo Jia will go back to solve the Miyoshi people in Owari, I wonder if Lord Matsudaira Motoyasu will help?"
