Chapter 785: The Last Glory of the Imagawa Family? (3)
At dusk, the sky had gradually darkened, but the battle in the High Heavenly God City was still not over. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info In the castle tower, Yamayama Masakei, Sanada Nobutsuna, Sanada Masatei, Kopan Masamori...... Many of the Takeda clan's fierce generals personally led their own flags and continued to kill the castle tower.
Ground floor ...... 2nd Floor ......
On each floor, they are attacked by enemies who rush out from anywhere, including the Imagawa clan's small surname, Banner, and retainers, as well as ordinary handymen, maids, and even children as old as 7 or 8 years old. But they all have one thing in common, that is, in the face of a powerful enemy, they do not flinch in the slightest, even if they cut to the ground, they still try to crawl towards the enemy.
Silent......
Shan County Changjing and the others have remained silent all the way because they have been completely shocked. "Compared to them, the samurai spirit that I have always prided myself on is really just a joke." This thought kept lingering in Changjing's heart.
I don't know how long it took for them to finally arrive at the castle tower observatory. When I looked up, I saw that the Imagawa clan was standing there with the usual face, and beside him, several women and several small surnames were standing there in a row. Their expressions were also very calm, and there was no hint of anger at all.
"His Royal Highness Imagawa......" Yama Yama Masakai opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, he saw Imagawa Shin's calm eyes, and all the words were blocked in his throat. He turned his head to look around, only to see that the others did the same. They just stood there stunned, obviously rushing in front of the Imagawa clan in a few steps to kill him, and take the greatest credit for this war, but ...... But no one moved even a single step.
Just when Yamayama Shojing and the others were at a loss, the Imagawa clan really spoke, "What, didn't His Highness Takeda come?" ”
Hearing this, Takasaka Masanobu replied in a deep voice, "Back to His Highness Imagawa, the head of the family is just sitting in the main formation, if His Highness Imagawa wants to see the lord, you can move there." ”
Hearing Takasaka Masanobu's words, Imagawa shook his head and smiled, "Forget it, I don't have to see that tiger anyway." After speaking, Imagawa Shin slowly pulled out his saber, looked at the Takeda generals in front of him and smiled, "Come on, someone who wants to take my life." ”
Hearing this, Takasaka Masatin and the others paused for a moment, and then turned their heads to look at Takasaka Masanobu, and Takasaka Masanobu said with some hesitation, "His Royal Highness Imagawa, in today's battle, the bravery of the Imagawa army makes me admire it very much, if His Highness Imagawa is unwilling to surrender, you can choose seppuku." If Your Highness, you feel that we are not worthy of giving you a mistake, we can ask the lord. ”
"Hahaha!!" Hearing Takasaka Masanobu's words, the Imagawa clan really burst out laughing, and the faces of Takasaka Masanobu and the others changed again and again, before they stopped and looked at them and said, "I am the governor of the Imagawa family!" Today's Battle! More than 10,000 warriors and dozens of retainers were killed! How can I be an exception?! ”
With the words of the Imagawa clan, the small surnames on the side and the maids led by Hayakawa raised their weapons one after another.
"Kill!" Imagawa Shin shouted, holding a sword and rushing towards Yamaguchi Masakei and the others, while Hayakawa and the others also followed. Their attack, like moths to a fire, is obviously a dead end, but they are still moving forward.
"Kill!" A deep voice came out of Takasaka Masanobu's mouth, and then Yama Shan Changjing and others greeted him.
Looking at the people in front of him, Imagawa really laughed and brandished his sword, like a sharp swordsman. Unfortunately, he is not, and his opponent, even if he is a sharp swordsman, may have a hard time winning. Because whether it is Yama County Changjing or Sanada Nobutsuna and others, they are all fierce generals who have been fighting on the battlefield for many years.
"Poof!" With a bang, a sharp blade slashed through the Imagawa clan's chest, and a large amount of blood spurted out, staining the dignified face of Yamaguchi Changjing.
"Your Highness!" Seeing this, Hayakawa suddenly shouted in shock, and quickly threw down the enemy in front of him and rushed towards Imagawa Shizhen, and in this regard, neither Sanada Nobutsuna in front of him nor Yamayama Shokei over there stopped it.
"I'm fine!" Imagawa really used a knife to the ground, his body trembled and stood up, and looked around, except for him and Hayakawa, the other maids and small surnames had already been killed.
In fact, if it weren't for the mercy of Sanada Nobutsuna and Yamaguchi Masakai, the ten Hayakawa and Imagawa Shinya would have died a long time ago. After all, whether it is Hayakawa or Imagawa Shin, martial arts are no different from ordinary people.
"Are you humiliating me?! Humiliate the Imagawa family?! Imagawa Shin looked at Yama Prefecture Changjing and the others and roared, shouted, and rushed towards Yama Prefecture Masaki again.
And Hayakawa on the side also shouted, "Don't underestimate the women of the Imagawa family!" The knife in his hand slashed straight down at Sanada Nobutsuna's head.
"Alas!" Sanada Nobutsuna frowned, and with a flick of the knife in his hand, he knocked the childish knife in Hayakawa's hand out, and then slashed out, and a large amount of blood spurted out. On the other hand, Yama Prefecture Changjing, who did not spare his hand, also left a huge wound on the Imagawa clan again.
"Your Highness...... Concubinage...... It's going to be the first step......" Hayakawa barely stood there, his blurred eyes could only see the shadow of the Imagawa clan in front of him.
Hearing this, the Imagawa clan did not attack again, but landed on the ground with a sword, and slowly moved his steps to Hayakawa's side. Gently hugged Hayakawa into his arms, but the lovely person in his arms was no longer alive.
Yama Prefecture Changjing and they stood quietly aside, they did not stop the Imagawa clan from acting, because they knew that the Imagawa clan would not live long. And at this point, they couldn't find any reason to stop it.
Imagawa tried his best to keep his eyes open, as if he wanted to see the delicate face of the lovely person in his arms again, but it was only in vain.
"Able to ...... Come on...... You ...... things? …… Will me and her ...... Buried in ...... "Before ......he finished speaking, the Imagawa clan really hugged Hayakawa and fell.
"Lord Takasaka ......" Seeing this, Yama Prefecture Masaka and the others looked at Takasaka Masatin again, it stands to reason that an enemy of the level of Imagawa Shin will definitely have his head cut off.
"Bring the two back to Suruga and bury them in the cemetery of the Imagawa clan, and I'll tell you where the lord is!" Takasaka Masanobu said in a moving tone.
In this regard, Yamayama Changjing and others did not refuse, and directly ordered people to transport Imagawa Shin and Hayakawa out. It's just that when those flags tried to separate Imagawa Shin and Hayakawa, they found that they couldn't be separated no matter what.
"No, just ship it out." Shan County Changjing said lightly.
Returning to the Takeda Army's main camp, Takasaka Masanobu directly reported the incident to Takeda Shingen, and pleaded guilty to Takeda Shingen for his unauthorized claims.
"Alas...... Let's do it......" Takeda Shingen didn't say much, in fact, he actually wanted to make a fuss about the corpses of the Imagawa clan and even Hayakawa, not only to attack Kakegawa Castle, but also to face the enemy he was about to face. In his opinion, the Oda family's help can basically be determined to be Oda Yoshinobu, so Hayakawa, who has an inexplicable relationship with Oda Yoshinobu, seems to be able to take advantage of it.
Well, Takeda Shingen actually didn't know what the relationship between Hayakawa and Oda Yoshinobu was, but a few years ago, when the world's first martial arts tournament, he had heard Takeda Katsuyori say that Matsudaira Ieyasu's wife Sena and Imagawa Shin's wife Hayakawa seemed to have a good relationship with Oda Yoshinobu.
made something out of nothing, although Takeda Shingen was not as good as Maori Yuan, but he also played very slippery. Just seeing Takasaka Masanobu's eyes, he knew that his goal was difficult to achieve, so fortunately he responded to Takasaka Masanobu.
And the reason why this is so is because Takasaka Masanobu once had a special relationship with Takeda Shingen when he was young...... Well, to put it bluntly, Takeda Shingen is also one of the lovers of the Tao. Although now because Takasaka Masanobu is old, he is no longer allowed to serve him, but the friendship of many years, coupled with the impression that the Imagawa army has on the Takeda army, Takeda Shingen has to change his inner decision.
Because he understands that in this battle, many retainers and even ashigaru in the family have great admiration for the general of the Imagawa family, and if Takeda Shingen's dead man makes a fuss, it is likely that his goal will not be achieved, but it will cause morale to decline.
Takeda Shingen was not an indecisive person, so after dealing with the remains of the Imagawa clan and Hayakawa, he immediately ordered people to move the military supplies collected in the Takatenjin Castle, and at the same time burned the entire Takatenjin Castle, and began to lead the army towards Kakegawa Castle.
Speaking of which, he didn't want to burn down the High Heavenly God City if it was possible. Although many of the defenses have been destroyed, a little repair is still a good fortified city. However, if they were to do so, the Takeda family would have to spend a lot of time cleaning up the corpses of the Imagawa army, and at the same time, they would have to send someone to notify the Baba Nobubo and others in Kakegawa Castle, which was obviously a bit more than worth the loss.
At night, the flames engulfed the castle of the gods, and the towering castle tower, like the fate of the Imagawa family, gradually shattered and collapsed in the flames.
On the other side, the flames at Takatenjin Castle were discovered by the members of the Matsudaira family soon after.
"Everybody's on orders! Army! Breakthrough! These words were almost squeezed out of Matsudaira Ieyasu's teeth, and he never thought that the enemy would attack Takatenjin Castle so quickly. But this is already the case, and the only thing he can do is to withdraw his troops immediately. Otherwise, when Takeda Shingenqin and his army arrived, he really didn't have to leave.
Outside the castle, Baba Nobubo and Naito Masatoyo received the news of the destruction of Takatenjin Castle almost at the same time as Matsudaira Ieyasu, "Immediately reorganize the army and prepare to pursue the Oda army!" Naito Masatoyo immediately guessed Matsudaira Ieyasu's thoughts and ordered loudly.
