Chapter 465: Nagashino is the Honnoji Temple

The Oda army of Archery was stunned when they looked at the Takeda army that appeared out of thin air on the battlefield, and the scene of the surprise attack on the main formation.

Oda Nobunaga is famous for his surprise attack on Imagawa Yoshimoto, and today it is possible that Nagashino's Archery is the Oda family's Sasasa.

Shibata Katsuie's eyes were red, and he also knew what the consequences would be if this camp was attacked at this time.

If Nobunaga was to be taken, the consequences would be unimaginable, the Oda army was in turmoil, and the outcome of the Nagashino battle was reversed, not to mention how far the Oda family would have gone if they lost Nobunaga.

Shibata Katsuya personally led the team to rescue, and Maeda Toshiie, Sasa Naimasa and other teams followed behind, but they had no choice but to suffer two rounds of impact from the Takeda Army Naito Masatoyo and Yama Prefecture Masakai in Fangcai, and the Oda Army reserves also suffered a lot of casualties, and now they are besieging the Takeda Army Central Army with all their might, and they want to withdraw from the battlefield for a while and turn around to come to the rescue, all of which is not enough.

This created an opportunity for the Takeda Army to make a surprise attack.

In order to seize Nobunaga's head, Shigeharu Takenaka took matters into his own hands, and in the name of Li Xiao, he issued an order that anyone who sought Nobunaga's head could obtain 10,000 stone of Zhixing.

Even if you kill Nobunaga lightly, you can be promoted to the rank of general of the family.

Under this encouragement, the whole Takeda army was like crazy, and they took out several times their speed and rushed up the mountain.

The first to arrive at Kawakami Mountain was the three hundred ashigaru of the Baba Masabobu.

Nobunaga's son Kitabatake Nobuo's subordinate Kitabatake family elder Takakikawa Yutoshi, when he saw that the mountains were all over the field, not in formation, but just the Takeda army flying with his feet and rushing out, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

This is simply not a method of warfare, it is like herding sheep, as if you only need to reach the end first, it is victory.

"Crazy, crazy." Yuri Takikawa muttered to himself, thinking that with such an unorthodox method of warfare, he had 1,000 men, which was enough to defeat the 3,000 troops of the Takeda Army.

It is a pity that there are only more than 300 Oda troops on the Kawakami mountain.

"Shoot!"

Yuri Takikawa organized the iron cannon Ashigaru, and the bow Ashigaru faced the Takeda Army's vanguard of 300 ashigaru, and organized a salvo.

The iron cannons of the Oda army were very powerful, and more than a dozen Takeda soldiers were shot and rolled down the mountain.

However, this casualty was nothing to the Hida people who vowed to take Nobunaga's head.

More Takeda troops arrived from the rear and threw themselves into the attack on Kawakami Mountain in large groups.

"Bastard! Get ready to take over! ”

Yutoshi Takikawa pulled out his sword.

During a fierce battle between the Takeda Army and the Hokuhata Army commanded by Yutoshi Takikawa on the northern slope of Kawakami Mountain.

Armed with a large spear, Baba Masabo led fifty Baba samurai straight to the eastern slope of Kamikawajo Mountain, where more than a dozen Hokuhata troops tried to resist with the help of a wooden fence near the main camp.

However, it was killed by the Takeda Army in an instant.

Looking at the top of the mountain, the papaya-patterned curtains were on all sides, and the horse farm Changfang and the samurai under his command were all enthusiastic.

Oda Nobunaga is here!

"Nobunaga suffers death!"

Machang Changfang shouted, this sound was like a thunderstorm for half a day, and it shook the mountains on all sides.

"Don't be presumptuous and don't offend Your Highness!"

Around the drapery, Nobunaga approached Heiko Taneyoshi, Zhu Shigemasa, Shimoishi Yorishige and other more than 20 people fought out one after another, and fought with the samurai of Masabo outside the formation curtain.

Hearing the news that the Takeda army had attacked Nobunaga's main camp, Yuri Takikawa, who was resisting the onslaught of the Takeda army in front, was terrified to hear it.

And at this moment, the general of the Takeda Army, the lord of Nabeyama Castle, who was fighting with Yuri Takikawa, saw that the other party was distracted, and he was also unceremoniously, and waved a naginata knife in his hand, and cut off Yuri Takikawa's right arm with a knife.

Yuri Takikawa screamed in pain and took a few steps back!

Several samurai from the Kitabatake family next to him immediately stepped forward to save them. …,

Yuri Takikawa covered the wound on his right arm with his hand, opened his throat and shouted to the soldiers of the Hokuhata Army around him, saying: "Don't retreat, you must guard this hall!" Don't quit even if you die! ”

When the 300 soldiers of the Kitabatake family held the intersection of the main road of Kawakami Mountain and fought to the death.

Shibata Katsuie, Maeda Toshiie, and Sasa Narumasa were three teams, desperately returning to the Oda Army's main formation.

Before the main battle, Shigeharu Takenaka ordered Uchijima Shiri to lead 800 Takeda troops to set up a formation on the east side of Kawakami Mountain in advance, and directly stopped the Oda army reinforcements at the foot of the mountain.

At this time, Shigeharu Takenaka accelerated the speed of attacking Nobunaga, and more and more Takeda troops poured onto Kawakami Mountain.

One way to the direction of Takigawa Yuri, who was guarding the main road on the north side, while the other way rushed up to the top of the mountain from the small road to Nobunaga's main camp.

Yikes!

The papaya-patterned curtain was cut in half by a sharp blade, and Nobunaga approached the corpse of Heiko Taneyoshi, throwing blood into the array, and the white curtain was dyed red in an instant under the pouring of blood.

Masanobo Baba's spearhead was red, and the pillar spear stood up, and more than a dozen Takeda Army samurai followed Masaku, and poured into Nobunaga's main formation.

Everyone saw a horse seal with a gold-painted Tang umbrella.

Six or seven people with full hair, armed with knives, naginatas, and spears, surrounded from all sides, in front of a middle-aged man wearing a silver-white Nanban with feet and a large red cloak on his back.

This middle-aged man, with two thick beards on both sides of his lips, pressed his hand to the hilt of his sword, and his eyes were like eagles staring at the Takeda Gunashigaru who had entered the battle.

When Takeda Jun Ashigaru came into contact with this person's gaze, he was all in the bottom of his heart, and he was a little forced by his momentum!

"Is this Nobunaga? It is really the hero of the world, majestic. ”

Maba Masafang couldn't help but praise himself.

"Protect the lord!"

With this shout, the non-combatants of the Honjin Circle, such as the Chinese Medicine Practitioners, Prayer Monks, Honjin Banner Holders, Taiko Drum Conch Holders, and Gunfume Soldiers, all got weapons like Taidao Rib Difference and surrounded Nobunaga again!

"Your Majesty is in this palace, please go first!"

A middle-aged samurai armed with a large bow more than one length walked to the center and protected Nobunaga.

"I'm tired of you again."

Oda Nobunaga only nodded slightly, and then six or seven small surnames, as well as his son Kitabatake Nobuo, and the leader Hasegawa Shuichi, approached to protect him from behind the main formation.

"Nobunaga is gone!"

Seeing that Nobunaga was leaving, the Takeda soldiers were willing to miss this opportunity.

However, at this time, an arrow feather shot at him, and a samurai under the command of Masabo Masabo did not even react for a moment, and was directly shot on the spot with an arrow to seal his throat.

"Good archery!"

Masabo was shocked.

And the middle-aged samurai holding a big bow calmly put on another arrow feather, and said indifferently: "In front of my big bow of Ota and Izumi Niuichi, do you dare to say that you can leave?" ”

Ushiichi Ota!

Baba Masabo gasped, this world's first-class archer master was just a Yubi by Nobunaga's side at the moment.

Seeing that Ota Niu showed his skills, the Takeda army was shocked for a while, and Nobunaga snorted slightly, leading the crowd to withdraw from behind the curtain.

Since they all came here, Baba Masabo was unwilling to leave like this, and immediately encouraged his samurai to go together.

And when Maba Changfang just spoke, he felt a flicker in front of him, and when he knew that it was not good and avoided to the right, he ate an arrow on his left shoulder.

"Damn!"

Maba Masabo endured the severe pain, broke off the arrow feathers with force, waved the spear and shouted: "Kill! ”

The Takeda army ashigaru rushed up from the side of Masaba Masabo and fought with the Oda army beside Ota Ushiichi.

At present, the center of gravity of the Nagashino battle, with the appearance of the 3,000 Hida people of Shigeharu Takenaka, has moved to the vicinity of Kawakami Mountain near Nobunaga's main camp. …,

Shibata Katsuie led the Oda army to storm the Uchijima clan's 800 Uchijima Army officers.

Uchijima Clan, who usually prides himself on being the most capable person in Hida Country, finally saw the strength of the other party when facing the onslaught of Shibata Katsuie, the chief general of the Oda family.

The 800 Uchijima Army, which was desperately trying to recapture Kawakami Mountain, was defeated by the three generals of the Oda Army, Shibata Katsuie, Maeda Toshiie, and Sasa Narimasa, who were desperately trying to recapture Kawakami Mountain.

The Uchijima clan was defeated, just when Shibata Katsuie thought that he could directly rescue Kawakami Yamahonjin.

A Takeda Army cavalry team came from the right flank, but it shattered Shibata Katsuya's dream.

This is exactly what Li Xiao used to kill Nobunaga with one blow in order to cooperate with Takenaka Shigeji to kill Nobunaga with one blow, and transferred the Sun and Moon of the Right Wing Army as a rapid mobile force to cooperate with the Oda Army on the mountain on the river to encircle and annihilate the river.

Li Xiaori and Yuebei General Tsuchiya Changheng led seven hundred horsemen to roar.

When approaching the Shibata army, the first thing was that two hundred dragoons dismounted and fired with iron cannon fire, and there was a burst of random bombardment, which first disrupted the formation of the Shibata army.

Tsuchiya Masahiro led 500 cavalry and entered through the gap.

The Takeda army rode into the Oda army like a long dragon, and even broke through the Shibata Katsuya team in one fell swoop.

Affected by the Takeda Army's horseback equipment, Shibata Katsuya himself was embarrassed and fled, and even his own horse seal gold imperial coin was also taken away by the Takeda Army in the chaos.

"Shibata Katsuya is defeated!"

Li Xiao snorted and put down the monocular Qianli tube in his hand, Tsuchiya Masahiro imitated the horseback riding equipment established by Takeda Akabei this time, and it really did not violate his own vigorous cultivation.

Thinking of this, Li Xiao turned his head to look at the banner of the Oda Army fluttering on the mountain of Kawakami, and muttered: "It seems that Nobunaga is about to finish, and Nagashino is your Honnoji Temple!" ”

"Honnoji? My lord, what do you say? Usami asked Li Xiao puzzled.

Li Xiao smiled slightly, and said to Usamina: "Honnoji is a temple in Kyoto, but I think Nobunaga will never have a chance to go again in this life." ”

Usami listened to Li Xiao's explanation, but she was still puzzled, but no matter how smart she was, she wouldn't understand the meaning of Li Xiao's words.

When Nobunaga walked out of the main array, the shouts of killing were getting stronger and stronger on all sides.

When you look down from Mt. Kawakami, you can see that the Takeda Gungaku, who is swarming up the mountain, is struggling to climb to the top of the mountain, and all you can see is a white flag with two stripes of the sun and moon fluttering.

Seeing this, Nobunaga's face was solemn, and he strode without saying a word.

"This is Nobunaga!"

While they were leaving, a group of more than a dozen Takeda soldiers came up from the trail to the top of the mountain, and happened to encounter Nobunaga and his party.

"Kill Nobunaga, and you can become a 10,000-stone daimyo!"

"Kill him, kill him!"

A group of people encouraged each other, looking at Oda Nobunaga, their eyes shining.

"Damn it. This group of hillbillies, is there no humility at all? ”

Nobunaga's side leader, Hisegawa Shuichi, couldn't help it and was about to shout and scold.

At this time, Nobunaga was furious.

"Stupid, Li Xiao, this flying turtle!"

Oda Nobunaga yelled at the group of Takeda troops and shouted, "Is my Nobunaga's head only worth 10,000 koku? I'm a dignified Oda Nobunaga! ”

Oda Nobunaga spoke the common dialect of the Kyoto family, and this group of Ashigaru from Hida couldn't understand a word.

However, this did not hinder their determination to kill Nobunaga and promote from a commoner to a daimyo.

These dozen people danced crude bamboo spears and rushed towards Nobunaga.

"Ranmaru, my iron cannon."

Nobunaga was really furious now, and after receiving a loaded iron cannon from Moriranmaru's hand, he shot it at Takeda Gunashigaru.

The huge impact of the close-range iron cannon made the Takeda soldier who pounced lightly, and a large hole was opened in his chest. …,

However, the death of this ashigaru did not make the others retreat, and the rest of the ashigaru also kept killing.

"Damn!"

Nobunaga took the iron cannon from the hand of another small surnamed Kokura Matsutobu, calmly aimed at one, and almost rushed to the head of the Takeda army in front of him, and hit the ground with a shot.

In an instant, the ashigaru was shot in the head by the iron cannon, and his brain was splashed.

Nobunaga exchanged a large cross spear from Moran Maru and threw himself into the warband.

"The enemy general Takigawa Yuri is asking for it!"

There was a sudden cheer at the bottom of the mountain, and Nobunaga, who was fighting with the Takeda army, couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.

Takigawa Yutoshi was killed in battle, so the Hokuhata army, which guarded the main road under the mountain, must have also been defeated by the Takeda army.

"In this way, the formation has been completely breached."

Thinking of this, Nobunaga couldn't help but be slightly distracted, and at this time, Takeda Jun shot Nobunaga's right elbow right with a shot.

Nobunaga was wounded in pain and dropped the ten-character gun in his hand.

"Nobunaga's head is mine!"

The Takeda soldier drank sharply and swung his spear at Nobunaga again.

"Don't think!"

At this moment, the little surname Moriranmaru next to Nobunaga stepped forward and used his body to block the shot for Nobunaga.

"Ranmaru!"

The spear penetrated Moriranmaru's body, and seeing his beloved little surname die in front of him, Nobunaga's eyes were almost split, and he pulled out the sword at his waist with his left hand, and hacked to death the Takeda Gunashigaru who killed Moriranmaru in front of him.

Holding the body of Moran Maru in both hands, Nobunaga laughed miserably, his eyes scattered, and he strode towards the top of the mountain.

The Takeda army, which successively killed on the mountain, was desperately resisted by several small surnames under Nobunaga's command and Shuichi Hasegawa, who were close to him.

"The enemy will take Ota Ushiichi!"

"Enemy general Hidemasa Hori to take it!"

"Enemy general Hasegawa Shuichi to take it!"

The heads of one Oda army general after another were hung high by the Takeda army, and almost all of the more than 300 Oda troops on the Kawakami Mountains were killed in battle.

Mt. Kawakami is on top of the mountain.

This battle of Changxiao is nearing the end, the sun has set in the west, and as far as the eye can see, the color of the remnant sun is like blood.

Nobunaga, who is now at the end of his life, suddenly burst into laughter when he placed the body of Moran Maru under a tree and looked out at the top of the mountain in the direction of Gifu.

At this time, Baba Masafu, leading hundreds of Takeda troops with spears in their hands, surrounded Nobunaga from all sides of the mountain, watching this man laugh at the top of the mountain.

The sound of long laughter was sharp and piercing, with reluctance and anger, full of the sorrow of the hero's end and the resentment of the empty ambition.
