Chapter 577: Calculation
Akechi Mitsuhide looked at Oda Nobutada, and the panic between his expressions was only a fleeting moment.
Seeing that the other party seemed to be a little out of his control, Akechi Mitsuhide said calmly at the moment: "Back to the lord, the reinforcements of the Takeda Army from all walks of life are now going to the northern city to reinforce the city." My intention was to use the northern city as a bait to prepare a strategy of encirclement to send reinforcements, but His Royal Highness Nobuo was incompetent and was delayed for half a day by a mere 500 people, which greatly affected our army's strategy of annihilating the Takeda army. ”
"Your Majesty is loyal, please ask the lord to learn clearly!"
Oda Nobutada heard Akechi Mitsuhide say this, and after thinking about it, he felt that Fang Cai's tone was too heavy, and said: "Hyuga-sama, since this is the case, let's remove Nobuo from his position as the forward general, and everything will end here." ”
Akechi Mitsuhide nodded at the moment and said: "The lord is wise, and his subordinates recommend Kamo Kenhide, the father and son of the Gamo clan to replace Oda Nobuo as the former army general. ”
Oda Nobutada listened to the words of Akechi Mitsuhide, clapped his hands and said, "The words of Lord Hinata are deeply in my heart. ”
Oda Nobunaga's second daughter, the wife of the Gamo clan, Fuyuhime, is also regarded as his own by Oda Nobutada, not to mention that the father and son have a reputation for being good at fighting, so they are recognized by Oda Nobutada.
On the edge of the river.
After a fierce battle for half a day, Honda Tadashi won and retreated into the valley.
The five hundred and three river warriors also lost most of them, but only more than 200 people.
Mikuni Hei under Honda Tadashikatsu's crotch is panting heavily.
Honda Tadakatsu jumped off his horse, smashed his beloved horse's head with his fist, and shouted, "What is useless, it is so quickly weak." ”
Du Zhuxiu said: "My lord, after a fierce battle for a long time, even if there is no shortage of manpower, the horsepower is also tired. ”
Tadashi Honda nodded. At this time, a monomi. Ran down the mountain and said to Honda Tadada, "Report to the lord, the Oda army has come up again." ”
Honda Tadakatsu raised the dragonfly cut and said impatiently, "No matter how you kill, you can't kill it." Then fight again! ”
"My lord," Tsutsuki Hidetsuna grabbed the reins of Honda's Tadatsumi Mikuni, and pointed his hand at the wounded Mikawa soldiers behind him. Silently lowered his head.
Seeing this, Honda Tadashi slashed the dragonfly, shook his head, and said, "It seems that everyone is going to die here with me." Hidetsuna, you go back and tell your lord about the main force of the Oda army marching towards the northern castle, and I, Honda Tadakatsu, have resisted the Oda army with 500 men for half a day, and I have done my best. ”
Du Zhuxiu said: "My lord, there is no need to talk about it now. Wherever you go, your servants will follow you. ”
Seeing this, Honda shook his head helplessly. At that moment, he instructed the two Ashigaru who were the only sons in the family. Let them go back and report the news.
At that moment, Honda Tadakatsu led the remaining more than 200 horsemen and broke into the Oda army.
"That man is Honda Tadakatsu!"
"The first fierce general of the Tokugawa family!"
"It's really worthy of the name!"
"Run!"
"I'm Heihachiro Honda. Who dares to fight with me! ”
I saw that where Honda Tadashi passed, the Oda army soldiers were invincible, and the general of the Ise Army under Oda Nobuo, the lord of Ise Kameyama Castle, Seki Morinobu, was actually killed directly into the main camp by Honda Tadashikatsu.
Guan Shengxin himself was picked up by Honda Tadashi with a shot.
Honda Tadashi speared Guan Shengxin's head, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh, and looking back, the Oda army on the side had organized a heavy force and surrounded his army.
Especially on their own way of advance and retreat, the Oda Army organized a large number of iron artillery teams.
Honda Tadakatsu knew that no matter how brave he was, he had experienced dozens of battles, and it was impossible for him to retreat unscathed. …,
Honda Tadakatsu moved the dragonfly cut, turned over and jumped from the Three Kingdoms, patted his beloved horse and said: "Don't accompany me to die here, go back to Sanhe, there is your hometown." ”
Sangokuro seemed to understand what his master meant, and he didn't live beside his master and hissed, refusing to leave.
"Get out of here!"
Honda Tadakatsu shouted with tears in his eyes.
In the face of the heavily surrounded Oda Army, Honda Tadashi defeated more than 100 Mikawa warriors behind him, all of whom also regarded death as home.
And at this moment, in the direction of the north, smoke and dust were billowing for a while.
I don't know how many cavalry came from the north, and from the top of the knoll, rolled down.
"Reinforcements?"
"Where did this horse team come from?"
Rao is Honda Tadashi put life and death aside at this moment, and he couldn't help but have the idea that it was good to be alive, and he was full of infinite gratitude for this sudden appearance of the horse riding team!
"Lord, it's the Sun and Moon Double-Patterned Flag, and this horse riding team belongs to the Hida Echichu Legion!"
Tsutsuki Hidetsuna said loudly beside Honda Tadakatsu, "It's the strength of Major General Konoe's army, I'm saved." ”
Honda Tadakatsu's face did not move, and the generals under his command whispered at this time.
"Jia Fei, these mountain people, the speed is really slow, uncle, I almost died here."
"Stupid, this is the Hida Echichu Army, which is in Nagashino to ask for Nobunaga, the military strength of the major general of the guard, not from Kai."
"Nagashino is such a nightmare, but now I finally don't have to be an enemy of the Hida Echichu Legion, which is really a blessing."
"Oh, the other party is one of the best in the world, and in the past few years, even Kenshin and Nobunaga have been defeated by their opponents."
"Yes, this time we are saved, but as soon as the Major General of the Guards arrives, there is nothing to do with us, so let's sit down and rest!"
As his subordinates had argued, Honda Tadakatsu saw hundreds of swords flying in the air and slashing after the cavalry of the Hida Echichu Legion rushed into the Oda army.
Everywhere the horseback team passed, there was a scene of flesh and blood flying and corpses densely strewn.
The Oda army rushed one after another.
The cavalry also seemed to disdain to pursue the defeated Oda army, and instead came directly towards the slope of the hill where they were.
In a short time, the formation of the Oda army was easily penetrated by the Takeda army's cavalry team.
The Takeda Army cavalry rushed straight up, and Honda Tadakatsu was on the hillside.
The soldiers of Mikawa looked at this elite cavalry army, all of them were apprehensive, and in the opposing horseback team, a general-like figure came to the hillside and asked loudly: "Dare to ask which Tokugawa family general is Honda Heihachiro?" ”
Honda Tadakatsu stood beside the Three Kingdoms Black and replied in a deep voice, "I am." ”
After hearing this, the other party turned over and jumped off the war horse, and said to Honda Tada: "The general of the Sun and Moon Preparation of the Shimohida Echichu Legion, Tsuchiya Masahiro, on the order of the lord, came to meet the strength of the Honda army. ”
Honda Tadakatsu saw that the other party was really coming to save himself, and he couldn't help but be moved at the moment, but he said quietly on his face: "I'm tired, but I dare to ask where the Major General Konoe is now?" ”
Tsuchiya Masatsune replied: "My lord, I have been ordered to take the first step, and I have personally led the main force of the army to a short distance. ”
Honda Tadakatsu heard the words and said, "Oh? Major General Konoe actually led his army to meet in person, and I don't know if I can go to meet him. ”
A few miles away from the northern city, on a small city, a huge Li character banner flutters on it.
"Heihachi Honda, meet with Major General Konoe?"
Honda Tadakatsu said respectfully.
"Oh, Heihachiro, the news that Your Excellency blocked the 40,000 troops of the Oda Army with 500 men has spread throughout the whole army, and the bravery of Your Excellency and the warriors of Mikawa is deeply admired by you, and I am also envious and jealous that Your Highness Mikawa has such a brave general." …,
When Honda Tadashi heard Li Xiao say this, he couldn't help but show a little sincerity and fear, and said: "It's too famous, the major general of the guards back then was sixty horsemen, and he dared to break the 8,000 army of the humble and honest princes. ”
Li Xiao couldn't help laughing when he heard Honda Tadakatsu say this, and he was noncommittal about Honda Tadakatsu's words.
"I'll introduce you to the generals."
At the moment, Li Xiao introduced Shima Katsutake, Hashiba Hidenaga, Fujido Takatora, Maeda Toshiie, Otani Yoshitsugu, Jimbo Nagaken, Ichiyanagi Naosue, Sanada Nobushihiro and others to Honda Tadakatsu.
These retainers just heard Li Xiao praise Honda Zhongsheng, and there was a little disbelief in their hearts at the moment.
When the two sides meet, all the generals have a bit of a comparison.
"Finally arrived at the Nobi Plains."
Seeing that he walked out of a mountainous area, the front of the Takeda Army, which had been trekking on the Nakasendo for several days, broke out into loud cheers from front to back.
The sky was clear, and the dark clouds that had accumulated in the sky for a long time also dissipated without a trace.
Seeing that the most difficult part of the march had passed, the morale of the entire Takeda army was boosted.
Takeda Shinfan rode his horse slowly, and his face, which was accustomed to being quiet, also showed a little joy.
Takeda Nobuyoru drove his horse to Takeda Nobuyoshi and said, "Brother, it seems that we can catch up, and in a few days, when we arrive at the northern city, we can meet with the major general of the guard." ”
"No!" Takeda Nobuyhiro stopped his hand and said, "You don't need to go too fast. ”
Hearing this, Takeda Nobuyoru immediately reined in his horse, looked at Takeda Nobuyoshi and asked, "Brother, you?" ”
Takeda Nobuhiro smiled slightly, and said: "Xinlian, you and I have been brothers for decades, what I mean, don't you understand?" ”
Takeda Nobuyoru took a deep breath and said quickly: "Brother, don't be like this, so call Li Xiao, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Satake Yoshishige, and Sanada Masayuki who are fighting in front of them?" ”
Takeda Shinfan waved his hand and said: "Xinlian, you have too much woman's kindness, and if my Takeda family wants to seize the world, you can't have women's kindness." In the future, the family will dominate the world, and these foreign retainers and foreign daimyo will be the same factor of instability. ”
"Now I want to weaken it with the help of the Oda family."
Nobuyoru Takeda was silent for the moment.
Seeing Takeda Nobuyo's face, Takeda Nobuyoshi immediately said: "Don't worry, I won't go too far, and when they are in danger, I will lead the army to rescue them." At that time, not only can the overall situation be laid, but also these external daimyo can be grateful to their families with kindness. ”
"This is also so that after the world is unified in the future, the monarch and the minister can plan with each other."
Takeda Nobuyoru smiled bitterly and said, "Brother is really a painstaking effort in my family, I won't say anything more in the future." ”
