Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Battle of Ueda (Part II)
Ueda Castle
The offensive and defense of the Southern Army and the Andong Army were still ongoing, and the Southern Army had already broken through the fence, and Kita Nobu Ai and Hachinohe Masaei led the army to attack bravely. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
A group of southern ashigaru rushed into the wall under the leadership of their respective samurai, and Yoshihisa Osato and others began to put up a difficult melee resistance.
"Ahh An ashigaru monster screamed and stabbed at Osato Yoshihisa with a spear in his hand, and Osato Yoshihisa didn't realize that he was stabbed in the waist for a while, and he turned around and killed the ashigaru with a knife.
He covered the wound on his waist with one hand and gritted his teeth to watch the influx of southern troops around him.
"My lord, the first and second formations have collapsed." A samurai hurriedly supported Yoshihisa Osato.
"Ahh Bastard! Da Li yelled unwillingly.
Bite! Bite! Bite! …… There was a bell for the collection of troops, and Anton's order flag for the recent season swayed from side to side under the wave of the standard-bearer.
"Withdraw to the city!" Dazato Yoshihisa knew that if the wall was lost, the enemy army would be able to approach Ote. But since the lord ordered the order to collect troops, he directly chose to carry it out. "Smash the barrel."
"Hey!" During the retreat, the Anton army smashed the oil barrels prepared in advance, and the black viscous liquid flowed out of the ground.
The remaining Anton's troops poured into the open gate, and the southern army followed closely behind to storm the gate.
The southern brigade rushed into the wall, but then a desperate scene ensued, and one of the leading samurai saw the black slime beneath his feet.
Boom! The rocket fired from the arrow tower ignited the oil in an instant, and the flames engulfed the position that the Anton Army was still defending just now.
"Ahh "Help...... Yes! ......" The fire instantly consumed the lives of these people.
Nanbu Haruma stood up in shock, his hand clenching the folding fan tightly. This fire killed nearly 100 people, and Anton was ruthless enough in recent seasons.
"The Great Hall." His subordinates asked tentatively: "Do you need to stop the attack?" ”
Southern Harimasa didn't speak, and he didn't know the specific number of casualties in front of him, but although he could break through Ueda Castle if he fought like this, he would definitely be greatly injured.
"Order, pause the offensive."
"Hey!" The warrior rode on horseback and went to give the order. And what made Nanbu Qingzheng even more surprised was the death of Daguang Temple's relatives.
"The main hall, woo ......" The subordinate retainers of Daguang Temple ran back with dozens of people: "The main hall, the Daguang Temple hall was killed, a family of troops was scattered, and the Yiyuan army was killed." A group of them ran to the southern Qingzheng main camp with only more than 100 people.
Yi Yuanzhe and Teng Xin took the lead in rushing forward, he didn't care about the scattered soldiers, he saw the main formation of Nanfang Qingzheng, as long as he killed him, everything was solved, and Teng Xin immediately tied a head and was the main relatives of Daguang Temple.
"Protect the Great Hall." Most of the samurai of the southern Harumasa went to the front to command, but there were only twenty horses here in the main camp, and the rest were all ordinary ashigaru.
Nanbu Harumasa did not run away directly because of the dignity of the samurai, he drew his sword, and the warriors of Ma Hui surrounded him.
"Rush up and take down the southern Haruhei." Iyuanzhe yelled hysterically, and the army behind him swarmed up. Although he was very tired, at this time, he saw the enemy generals rushing forward one by one with a scream.
There was a sound of swords clashing, and nearly 500 people from Yiyuan's army surrounded the southern Qingzheng, and the southern army was constantly stabbed to the ground and could not get up.
It was the twenty elite Ma Hui warriors who inflicted a lot of casualties on the Iyuan army, but they were quickly dispersed due to their numerical inferiority.
Yi Yuanzhe carried a katana and walked into the southern Qingzheng step by step: "The southern meal is bright, have you ever thought that there is today?" ”
Southern Harimasa didn't immediately answer Iyuan Zhe's words, to say that he was not afraid of death was false, but as a samurai's bloody nature, he seemed to be right.
"The Governor of the Iyuan Family?" He asked, looking at this person's temperament and distinctive armor.
"Well, the southern home will be a thing of the past." Yi Yuanzhe rushed forward with a knife in both hands.
"It depends on whether you have the ability or not!" Southern Harimasa was also enraged, wielding his sword to defend against Iyuancheol's attack.
Yi Yuanzhe's swordsmanship has indeed improved a lot compared to when he first came, and the advantage of being tall is indeed obvious, but in the south, an old samurai like Harumasa is still relatively immature compared to swordsmanship.
"Yikes!" Yi Yuanzhe rubbed the foot of Nanbu Haruma but did not break the armor, Nanbu Haruma saw the opportunity and slashed at Iyuanzhe's neck, Iyuanzhe dodged sideways, but the knife still cut his arm, and blood flowed out directly.
Yi Yuanzhe took two steps back, and Nanbu Harumasa took off his mask and said: "Hmph! Brat. Step by step, he walked towards Yi Yuanzhe.
Teragoro was on the periphery with a bow and arrow in his hand aimed at Minami Harimasa, and when he saw that Imoto Tetsu was injured, he did not hesitate to shoot an arrow.
Sou! Zi~ Nanbu Haruma watched in disbelief as his chest was pierced by an arrow.
Teragoro dropped his bow, took out his small scimitar from his waist, jumped directly into the battle circle and rushed towards Nanbu Harusa.
Yi Yuanzhe looked at Nanbu Qingzheng, who was half-kneeling on the ground unwillingly after being pierced by arrows, and there was only silence in his heart.
Teragoro rushed over and slashed hard with his scimitar, causing the head of Minami Harumasa to fall with wide eyes.
He picked up his head and came to Yi Yuanzhe and said, "My lord, I can be a samurai!" ”
Igen Tetsu patted Teragoro on the shoulder, and then yelled around: "Southern Harumasa has been taken by Teragoro!" ”
"Roar!" The surrounding battles immediately stopped, and the southern army looked at the raised head in disbelief, while the Yiyuan army roared recklessly.
"Southern Harimasa has been taken!" "Southern Harimasa has been taken!" “……”
The roar of hundreds of people could be heard throughout the battlefield of Ueda Castle, and Kitanobu Ai and Hachinohe Masaei had just received the order to repair, and the lord had died before the troops had completely withdrawn, and they all couldn't believe it, and the ashigaru of the southern army was all in chaos, and there was nothing more important than the death of the lord's family.
"What?" Anton heard a roar at the head of the city recently, and watched the banner of Qingzheng in the south fall in the distance: "Hahahaha...... The antlers of the southern Harimasa are my Anton's recent season. ”
"Kill!" Anton recently took advantage of the chaos to lead the army out of the city to attack the southern army that was in chaos, and for a time the southern army was scattered and could not organize a counterattack, and the hunter and the prey were never certain.
The Yiyuan army cooperated with the Anton army to sweep the southern army, and Bei Xinai and others took advantage of the chaos to escape.
In this battle of Ueda, there were only more than 600 people in the southern army of 3,000 who followed Kitanobu Ai and others back to Sanhe, and nearly 1,000 people were killed. Taking advantage of the chaos and scattering of the army, I don't know how much it is, and I think it will return to Sanhe and other places one after another.
Anton has also suffered heavy casualties in recent seasons, but fortunately, he has defeated the main force in the south, and it is only a matter of time before Antler County returns to Anton. But he suddenly thought of Yi Yuanzhe, what if he wanted Antlers?
And there are only 426 people left in Yi Yuanzhe's 600 reinforced ashigaru, and most of them are still injured. Anton hurriedly went to meet Yi Yuanzhe in recent seasons.
It's just that they didn't expect that because of the battle of Ueda Castle, Nanbu Harumasa died, and the Nanbu family would fall into civil strife because there was no successor, which directly changed the pattern of the entire Mutsu Kingdom, and the Tsugaru Igen clan moved to the East Country. Of course, because of the killing of Southern Harumasa, Teragoro has since embarked on a different path.
