Mitogasa Mido
On this road to Sanhe Castle, Ishikawa Takanobu and some other samurai who had taken refuge in him led an army of 1,500 to return to the aid of Sannohe. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Ishikawa Takanobu received news from Morishin that the Iyuan army was approaching Sanhe Castle and had the intention of attacking Sanhe at any time, so he immediately decided to abandon the place occupied by Jiuhe and return to Sanhe.
It's just that what he didn't know was that Iyuanzhe spread the news to confuse Ishikawa Morinobu, leaving Teng Nobu and Yoshiki Yoshitaka to join Tsugaru Toshinobu and others to take Sanhe Castle, and he led the main army to bypass Sanhe Castle and set up an ambush on the Kasan Road, the only way to Sanhe Castle.
While Ishikawa Takanobu was strolling along the Chinese army on horseback, a samurai suddenly came in front of him to report in a hurry.
"Ishikawaden, there are trees in front of you that cut off the road, blocking the way."
"What?" Ishikawa Takanobu immediately rushed forward with someone.
When he arrived, he saw a few thick trees falling sideways in the middle of the road, and Qingxinni dismounted and stepped forward, touching a knife mark on the trunk of the tree, and his heart was horrified.
"That's not right! Someone deliberately blocked the tree in the middle of the road. ”
"Ahh Qingxinni's cry made the surrounding samurai uneasy for a while, and even Ishikawa Takanobu suddenly felt bad, and he looked at the mountains and dense forests next to him.
Sou! "Ahh Suddenly, an arrow hit Ishikawa Takanobu in the shoulder, and he fell off his horse.
"Your Excellency!" "Your Excellency......" The surrounding samurai immediately lifted him up and protected him.
"Quickly set up...... Hurry up,......" Ishikawa Takanobu held back the pain and issued an order.
Teng Zheng put down his bow and arrows, shook his head in disappointment, and then immediately drew his sword and shouted: "Release the arrow!" ”
"Wow!" The archashikaku, who had already drawn their bows and arrows, instantly let go of the strings, and the arrows rained down on the Ishikawa army.
The unsuspecting Ishikawa army was disrupted by the sudden attack, and some of them ignored the roars of the samurai and ran to the dense forest on the other side.
But they were greeted by a sharp iron cannon, "Fire!" "Bang bang bang...... Teng Tang and the iron gunners had been waiting for a long time, and the loud sound of the iron cannon made the Ishikawa army even more panicked, and some of the samurai who rushed over were thrown to the ground by the frightened horses.
"Ahh "Please help me, I still have to save it......" The huge sound of the iron cannon brought great destructive power, and hitting the body of a person at such a close distance was undoubtedly fatal.
"Rush!" Nakashi Daohou rushed out first with a spear in his hand, and the spear ashigaru rushed down with his roar.
The sudden attack of the series of overturns made the Ishikawa army already confused, not to mention that Ishikawa Takanobu was in the front army, and the Chinese army was already in chaos.
"Yikes! Kill them. Nakashi Michihou pierced the body of a samurai with a shot and shouted, "Kill! ”
"Wow!" The spearmen rushed up, following the rhythm of Nakatoki Dosho, and cut the Ishikawa army in two from the middle lane.
"I am leading the right horse's head to clear the enemy, and the enemy will be killed."
"Hmph, just in time!" In the middle of the time, Daohou heard that he revealed that his family was unhappy for a while, and he greeted him with a spear, and the two broke out in a scuffle.
A scuffle broke out below, and Teng Zheng and Teng Tang also led their respective subordinates to rush and kill the Ishikawa army.
Ishikawa Takanobu listened to the roar in the sky with an incredulous expression.
"My lord, my lord......" A samurai ran to his side with a rolling belt: "My lord, we have been ambushed, and the Chinese army and the rear army have lost contact. ”
"What!" "Who's the hell about that?" The surrounding samurai cursed.
"Yes, under the banner of the Yiyuan family."
Ishikawa Takanobu was terrified after hearing this, they actually set up an ambush here, wasn't it north of Sanhe Castle?
"My lord, I'll wait here and meet at Sanhe Castle!" Kiyoshin said to Ishikawa Takashin.
"Do you want me to leave the army behind and run away alone?" Ishikawa Takanbu endured the severe pain and got up: "Let me see, what is the ability of that so-called Iyuan Temple!" ”
"Hah!" All the samurai around him were also determined to fight to the death.
The middle and rear armies had gradually been killed and surrendered by Nakashi Michihou and Tengdo, and a large number of Ishikawa samurai ashigaru had either fled or been surrounded or surrendered on their knees. And Teng Zheng led the army all the way to Ishikawa Takanobu.
"I'm Igen Tengmasa, but Ishikawa Tajima Mamoru in front of me?" Pain swaggered in front of the battle to protect Ishikawa Takanobu.
Ishikawa Takanobu did not reply to Teng Zheng's words.
"Remember, the one who took your head, Tengmasa of the Igen clan. Shoot arrows. Teng Teng shouted.
A flurry of arrows caused chaos in the array protecting Ishikawa Takanobu, and many people died.
"Rush forward!" Teng Zheng roared and rushed into the formation with a sword, and the ashigaru samurai in the formation were unstoppable, cutting down three people in a row, and the Iyuan army behind him also became extremely rapid because of the surprise attack of the commander general, constantly impacting the crumbling Ishikawa army formation.
Seeing that Teng Zheng was so fierce, Qing Xinni walked up with a knife, but Teng Zheng's tall body put Qing Xinni at a disadvantage at the beginning of the melee battle.
Qing Xinni's other hand was against the back of the knife, and the twins resisted Teng Zheng's terrifying arm strength. I felt a tingling in my arm.
Standing on the commanding heights, Yi Yuanzhe kept watching the battle below, and he knew that there was no suspense anymore. The order was waved up, and the snail remembered, and the army carried out a full-scale contraction and strangulation.
Woo woo woo ~ The sound of the horn resounded throughout Kasasan Road, and the Igen clan army quickly contracted under the leadership of each ashigaru general, and wiped out the remaining Ishikawa army that was still resisting one by one.
Ishikawa Takanobu leaned against the trunk of the tree in the middle of the road, "I didn't expect that it was a few trees that blocked my life......"
"Wrong, it's His Royal Highness the Igen Clan." Teng Zheng immediately replied. The surroundings were already full of Iyuan troops, and only a dozen or so samurai were left in the Ishikawa army, each wounded, surrounded by a spear array.
"Well, I want to know, has Sanhe Castle fallen?" Ishikawa Takanobu asked a little angrily.
"If all goes well, it should be pretty much the same." This is true, Teng Zheng did not get the exact news of Teng Xin.
"Please, spare my child. Even if they are allowed to spend their whole lives in the monastery. ”
"With the mercy of the lord, he should let it go."
"Thank you!" After saying that, Ishikawa took a knife into his abdomen, and his mouth was full of blood. It's just that he didn't know that his wife and son had been cut down by Tsugaru Toshinobu last night.
"My lord......" Several of his henchmen and samurai wept and bowed down to Ishikawa Takanobu's side, and then also went with the lord one after another. The samurai such as Kiyoshin finally dropped their swords and chose to surrender.
"Eh! Eh, ah~......." The samurai of the Igen family and the ashigaru shouted rhythmically and celebrated the victory. The captured Ishikawa soldiers were curious about the large number of samurai who suddenly rose from Tsugaru.
Iyuanzhe was still standing on the commanding heights, and he heard the cries of victory from the forces of his own family below. He opened his arms and greedily breathed the air between heaven and earth: "From today onwards, I should be full of strength in the Warring States. ”
On October 4, the 17th year of Astronomy, Ishikawa Takanbu was destroyed, and more than 600 Ishikawa troops were killed in this battle, nearly 800 were captured, and the others were missing. The Yiyuan army only lost 86 men, which can be described as a great victory.
