Chapter 588: The Two Armies Join Forces (The First of the Three Shifts)
Damn it! Damn it!
In front of the Tianmanshan formation, Honda Tadashi roared again and again.
Now he was kneeling on the ground, pressing his hand against the neck of his beloved horse Mikuni, but the blood was still flowing from under his hand.
When Fang was in the assault, the position of the Oda army in Tenmanyama, Honda Tadakatsu was lured into an ambush circle by Mori Nagake and was attacked by the opponent's iron artillery.
An iron cannon projectile that was originally shot at Honda Tadashi's chest, at a critical time, because Mikuni Hei suddenly raised his head and fired this shot for Honda Tadakatsu.
However, Honda Tada's love horse Mikuni Hei was seriously injured because of this.
Mikuniguro, whose legs were curled on the ground, finally turned his head and licked Honda Tadashikatsu's hand with his tongue, and after looking at his master with great affection, he closed his eyes.
At this moment, Honda Tadakatsu felt his chest crack.
On the Tianman Mountain, the Mikawa Ashigaru with the three-leaf aoi swarmed into the anti-horse fence and fought with the Oda army.
In the trenches, on the fences, there were hanging corpses of the two armies everywhere.
On all sides, there was a scene of corpse ramparts.
Mikawa Ashigaru's bravery in battle was staggering, and the momentum of his lifelessness and the durability of the battle made the Oda army deeply feared.
Almost every Ashigaru Mikawa fell, and almost all of them were buried with two Oda soldiers and above.
The sky was full, above the position of the Oda army, and the Oda army was on the verge of collapse.
If it weren't for Kawajiri Hidetaka and Mori Changke, the two of them worked hard to lead their respective banner samurai to kill and save the battle, then the front would have collapsed several times.
In particular, Mori Nagako, the famous general of the Oda family, danced that big gun and killed the Mikawa samurai who was not afraid of death. It was also terrifying.
The name of 'Ghost Musashi', 'Mori Musashi Shouchoke', made the Mikawa samurai, who was his opponent, also feel very respected.
But all this made Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was supervising the formation at the foot of Mt. Tenman. I was anxious.
"Pass the order down, let Watanabe Moritsuna, Naito Masashi retreat."
"Order the Torii Mototada team, and the Okubo Sesa team take over and continue the attack. Give me a fight to the death, understand? ”
The envoy with the two white feathers screamed and led the order to retreat.
Tokugawa Ieyasu looked at the battle on the top of the mountain, and his brows were twisted into the word Sichuan.
Ishikawa Shumasa, the flag leader of the Nishimikawa crowd on the side of Tokugawa Ieyasu, couldn't help but shake his head when he saw it.
Watanabe Moritsuna, Naito Masari's team has just gone up to attack, less than half an hour. His subordinates were already suffering heavy casualties.
The two Mikawa generals still wanted to continue the attack, but Tokugawa Ieyasu shook his head, and he couldn't bear these two generals lying in the corpses of Tianmanshan.
"Almost. With a little more effort, you can break through the enemy's position. ”
Tokugawa Ieyasu looked at the battle situation and said in a deep voice.
Ishikawa Shu on the side was suggesting to Tokugawa Ieyasu: "My lord, at this moment, you can dispatch the flag." ”
Tokugawa Ieyasu said categorically. Yan said: "The whole battle situation, the timing is unknown, and the flag army is the last hope of my Three Rivers Army." It cannot be used lightly. ”
"Wait and see, in a few moments, it will be enough to capture Tianman Mountain."
Ishikawa Shu said: "Lord, Li Xiao's battle method is to put it to death and come back to life, if it can't be broken." The current Oda army is in the main camp, then the northern street. The Nakasendo Road, on the streets of Ise, were all surrounded by the Oda army, and our army lost this battle, only to be trapped in the encirclement, and to be destroyed by the battle, how to say that it was a fluke. ”
Listening to Ishikawa's words, Tokugawa Ieyasu said solemnly: "Ishikawa, what you said is good, but I didn't think it through. ”
But when Tokugawa Ieyasu looked at Mt. Tenman again, his face was full of worry, and he said, "Let's wait and see, wait and see." ”
At this time, an envoy hurried to the front of the Tokugawa army.
Tokugawa Ieyasu stepped forward and asked, "How, is there any emergency situation?" ”…,
The envoy knelt down and said loudly: "Report to the lord, the left wing of our army's horse farm letter room can no longer be supported, and now ask our army for help." ”
"What?"
Tokugawa Ieyasu turned his head and looked at the envoy with a fierce face.
At this time, in the direction of the streets of Ise on the left flank, the Oda Army resounded the taiko drum.
At this time, Tokugawa Ieyasu was suddenly startled and said: "It's not good, on Matsuo Mountain, Nangong Mountain, the preparation of the Oda army has been dispatched. ”
Ishikawa Shumasa said: "From the opinion of the lord, it seems that we can only dispatch the flag to rescue the horse farm legion, please make up your mind quickly." ”
Tokugawa Ieyasu looked up to the sky and sighed: "The Oda army is on Nangong Mountain, but the 50,000 army of the wise Hinata guard, I'm afraid this is a drop in the bucket, even if I die, I have to fight until the last moment, so I won't be ashamed of the soul of Mikawa." ”
Just as Tokugawa Ieyasu waved his military armament and was about to give an order.
On the flanks of the Oda army, there was a sudden earth-shattering shout.
"Victory!"
"Victory!"
"Victory!"
Tokugawa Ieyasu quickly turned his head to look at it, only to see that on the side of Mt. Tenman, the Takeda army was divided into several sections, and attacked the position of the Oda army on Mt. Tenman in waves.
At this time, the head of the Tokugawa army, led a man, rushed up the mountain, and reported loudly to Tokugawa Ieyasu, saying, "Report to the lord, this is the envoy of the Takeda family. ”
"In the lower banner of the samurai, the left doorman of Oshima pays a visit to Ieyasuko!"
Tokugawa Ieyasu nodded heavily and said, "Is it the reinforcements sent by Major General Konoe?" But it's not a lot. ”
"Back to His Royal Highness Sanhe, please rest assured, it is the elite army of our own family that goes out of the battle, the flag is prepared, and the snake tail is prepared, which is enough to be ten with one."
"It's Qi Benbei!"
"And the snake tail!"
On this formation, the retainers of the Tokugawa Army all exclaimed, this is the elite of the elite legions in the Takeda Army.
The first battle of Nagashino, the prestige was great, Kurobe Kawakami, and the force broke the Echigo army.
Hearing of the arrival of these two strong armies, the morale of all the generals of the Tokugawa family was boosted.
Tokugawa Ieyasu nodded and said, "Very good, may I ask if it is Major General Konoe and will go out in person?" ”
"Returning to His Royal Highness Sanhe, the House Shape Palace, is still supervising the battle on the front line, and now it is the young master who is leading the army."
"Oh! It's His Royal Highness Tajimamori. Tokugawa Ieyasu nodded, "So I'd like to see it, but Mamori's demeanor." ”
"Yes, before the foreign minister came, the young master asked me to tell His Highness Mikawa. It was his honor to be able to fight side by side with His Highness Mikawa, the first bow in Tokaido, and the world-famous Mikawa Legion. ”
I heard that the young masters of the Li family are all up and down the Three Rivers Army. So respectful.
The upright warriors of Mikawa present all had their eyebrows jumping, their backs straightened, and they all hated to behave like a warrior in the world in front of the envoys of the Takeda family.
When Tokugawa Ieyasu heard this, he laughed, and then said, "Reply to His Highness Tajima Mamoru." This is also the honor of my Tokugawa Ieyasu, so let us take Mt. Tenman together and lay the foundation for victory in this battle. ”
At that moment, Tokugawa Ieyasu raised his military armament and shouted: "The flag is ready to go into battle." Conquer Tianman Mountain! ”
In response to Tokugawa Ieyasu was Mikawa Banner, the neat roar.
At that moment, General Tokugawa Ieyasu pointed at him and said: "The flag is dispatched, and I will personally climb the top of Mt. Tenman." ”
Disgusted with the filthy soil, he belonged for the flag of the soil, and hunted and moved. The soldiers of the Mikawa Army, who were fighting on Mt. Tenman, saw the flag of the general general, and Tokugawa Ieyasu himself went into battle. It's all morale up.
And at this moment, the army of Snake Tail Bei and Qi Benbei launched a fierce attack on the Mori Changke Department on the top of Tianman Mountain together with the Three Rivers Army.
Snake tail preparation. The iron artillery team prepared by the flag was the first to dispatch. Facing the Tianman Mountain, the formation of the Oda army, first carried out a dense volley of gun shooting. …,
The red and yellow tongues of fire spit out countless flames, baptizing the position of the Oda army.
Li Zheng waved the sword and shouted: "Who will cut off the head of Sen Changke for me!" ”
"Your Majesty is willing to go!"
After the two of them should go down, they each led two hundred standing guards to go straight to the end, and the Mori Changke flag seal was gone.
The officers and men of the Oda Army, under the heavy damage of the Takeda Army's iron cannons, saw this killing like a pack of wolves, and the Takeda Army Ashigaru were all shocked and fled in all directions.
One willow straight to the end, Yamamoto can hide the two, along the way like chopping melons and vegetables, killing the soldiers of the Oda army, and the corpses are all over the ground.
The momentum is like a bamboo, and it is killed before the flag seal of Mori Changke.
Where the flag seal was, there were more than 20 Mori Nagake's flag warriors, all of them with wounds and blood-stained armor.
As soon as they saw the Takeda army killed, they all drew their swords and came out, swearing to fight to the end.
And a general came out of the crowd and shouted, "I am the chief of Mori Musashi, who of you will ask for my head." ”
One willow straight end, Yamamoto can hide the two, seeing that under the armor on the other party's chest, it is still oozing blood, showing a state of overdraft, and they all feel that they are fighting with it at this moment, and they are not victorious.
Yamamoto Kanzo said at the moment: "Naomo, it's better for you to go up!" ”
Ichiliu Naomo nodded and said, "In that case, it's better to break through this formation first and take Tianman Mountain first!" ”
"Wait!"
Just as he was about to go into battle, one of them shouted loudly.
A general wearing a horn pocket and holding a spear rushed in.
"Dragonfly Cut!"
Dazo Chang'an exclaimed in surprise, and said to Ichiyanagi, "It's the Tokugawa general, Honda Heihachiro!" ”
"This person killed my love horse, I wonder if the two of you can give me a chance to get each other?"
Honda Tadakatsu said loudly.
At the end of the willow, Dazang Chang'an glanced at each other and nodded.
At this time, Mori Changke laughed and said: "Very good, dying at the hands of Honda Heihachi is not an insult to the name of the martial arts, in the lower horse hundred sections, can go up a hundred steps, and please ask His Royal Highness Honda to take care of it." ”
At that moment, the chief of the forest showed a resolute look, raised the gun, and shouted: "Look at the gun!" ”
Honda Tadashi also cut the dragonfly with a stab, and in the blink of an eye, the two have already divided the winner and loser.
Mori Changke clutched the wound on his chest and fell to the ground.
"Lord!"
"Lord!"
After Mori Changke was killed in battle, his subordinate Qimoto samurai silently kowtowed to Mori Changke's corpse, and then drew their swords and stabbed themselves.
Under the flag, the forest chief and his subordinates can dye the whole place red.
As soon as the news of Mori Nagake's death came out, Kawajiri Hide, who was on Mt. Tenman, also entered the realm of collapse.
