Chapter 138: The Nameless Valley Ambush
In the end, the crusading army marched to Wakasa Province Yoshijo with 9,000 troops, and in the Wakasa Province Kohama Castle, Takeda Motoaki walked anxiously in the study, as if waiting for something. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Lord!" A servant cautiously pushed open the door and shouted softly, Yuan Ming ran to the waiter with red eyes, and shouted loudly: "Father, do you have the latest news?" ”
The attendant was startled, hurriedly took out a letter from his arms, and said in a trembling voice: "Lord, the old lord's letter says" But before the attendant finished speaking, Yuan Ming snatched the letter roughly, walked to the side and looked at it, the attendant opened his mouth, and stopped talking.
As time passed, Yuan Ming's face became more and more ugly, and finally he threw down the letter, kicked over the desk next to him, and shouted angrily: "Bastard! ”
After drinking, he seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and he stumbled down in a flicker, and the attendant seemed to want to step forward but finally stopped in place.
"Nine thousand troops, haha, June 10th, haha, the power of Wakasa and one country, but only six thousand ears, Asai Nagamasa, you are really willing, there is no Wakasa Takeda clan after Kuniyoshi, father, you are right! Alas. ”
Yuan Ming let out a long sigh, he knew that it was completely impossible for Kuriya Katsuhisa to rely on 4,000 peasant soldiers to defeat Omi's 9,000 elite crusade army, and moreover, he also saw the situation of the Wakasa Takeda family after Kuriya Katsuhisa's defeat and lost power, which he didn't want to see, but he had to face it.
He couldn't help but think of what his father Yoshitomi said before he left for Omi: "Yuanming, after I leave, Wakasa actually doesn't belong to us anymore, but at least we still retain some territory. Remember, you must not try to rebel against the Asai family, or what we have now will be gone. ”
However, he was young and vigorous, under the bewitchment of his uncle Xinfang, he plotted to regain real power, and finally exposed, when the first letter of Yitong arrived, he still wanted to wrestle with Changzheng, but the 9,000 people scared him out.
"Lord, I think you should go to Kotani City."
The attendant gritted his teeth and earnestly suggested to Yuan Ming. Yuan Ming paused, and suddenly roared hysterically: "Come on, this person has fornicated with the traitor Kuriya Katsuhisa, and I will pull him down and cut him down." ”
Two attendants came in from outside the house, one left and one right, carrying the previous attendant and walked out without saying a word, until the door was closed, and the previous attendant did not say a word of begging for mercy or wrongdoing, he kept looking at Takeda Yuanming, his eyes were full of joy, Yuanming, after all, accepted his suggestion, and he was the one who carried the blame.
On June 12, 9,000 crusaders entered Wakasa Province at a uniform speed, and went straight to Kuniyoshi Castle in Mikata County, all the way unimpeded, unlike Takeda Motoaki, Takeda Nobukata did not see the facts clearly, and still wanted to help Kuriya Katsuhisa, and even after the crusading army carried out a cage battle against Kuniyoshi Castle, 500 peasant soldiers were mobilized, intending to destroy the logistics line of the crusading army, but it was detected by the Koga ninja. Yumori Kiyosada dispatched a thousand standing troops, and with the assistance of the Koga ninja, quietly came to a small valley that Takeda Nobukata's army would inevitably walk through.
It was a nameless valley through which the road passed, and a thousand raiders hid in the bushes on both sides of the road, which were then modified by the Koga ninjas, and they were hidden, waiting for the arrival of the Takeda army.
It was nearly noon, and when the crusading army, which had been hiding motionless for more than half an hour, was extremely uncomfortable, the sound of people shouting and neighing came from a distance from one side of the valley. Asai Masasumi turned his head to look at the young man beside him who silently pulled out the bow and arrow in his hand, his hand raised slightly, and then the sound of an animal quietly sounded in the valley, followed by the sound of bows and arrows opening one after another, very secret.
Takeda Nobukata, who was walking in the valley on horseback, listened to the neighing of animals between the mountains and forests, and the corners of his mouth raised lightly and teased a middle-aged man dressed as a big and three thick samurai on his side: "Inotaro, there seems to be a mountain boar running between the mountains and forests, and I don't know if it's Inotaro who is more powerful, or if the mountain boar is more combative!" ”
The ridiculed Otaro was not angry, but said with a smile: "Lord, my Otaro also captured a boar when he was young, could it be that the lord forgot?" ”
Xin Fang patted his head lightly and laughed: "Haha, but there is such a thing, I want to be back then."
"Be careful, lord!"
Without waiting for the letter to recall the year, Inotaro who had been walking beside the letter suddenly shouted, and then quickly pulled the letter off the horse, and before the letter was angry, a miserable cry sounded behind him, and the letter hurriedly looked back, and his heart was cold, and he was secretly glad that Inotaro pulled himself up.
With this body screaming, as if the thunder of the sky had hooked the earth's fire, countless feather arrows continued to pour down from the mountainsides on both sides, Inotaro shouted angrily, pulled out the sword on his waist, protected the letter side, and slashed all the flying arrows, but the soldiers were not so lucky, people kept being shot by the arrows, and the lucky arrow was already dead, there was no pain, but the bad luck was shot into a hedgehog, and died with endless pain.
For a while, the originally quiet and peaceful valley instantly became a hell on earth, wailing, after five rounds of arrow rain, there were less than two hundred Takeda troops standing in the valley, and more than 100 people were wailing on the ground. Zheng Cheng pulled out the knife at his waist, shouted and rushed down, but found that there was a young man who was much happier than himself, seeing this, Zheng Cheng had to speed up his pace and desperately catch up with the young man.
Inotaro gasped, gritted his teeth and pulled out an arrow that hit his thigh, stared at the Asai army all over the mountains, and then at his own soldiers and samurai who were constantly fleeing, sighed, and said to the letter behind him: "Lord, go quickly, Inotaro is going to practice his morality today!" ”
Nobukata may have been frightened, but he just mumbled and ran backwards with the rout, leaving Inotaro and a dozen samurai with swords in the way.
Masumi waved his hand, and the crusading army that rushed down from the mountain was divided into two teams, one team continued to pursue Takeda Nobukata, and the other team slowly surrounded Inotaro and the others.
Inotaro looked at the soldiers who were chasing after Takeda Nobukata, his face changed, but he immediately turned serious. "Your Highness, this is your first formation, being able to shoot an enemy flag is already very good, there is no need to commit another offense!" Masasumi looked at the young man who was slowly walking towards Inotaro with both hands holding the sword, and softly dissuaded, for the lord's own brother, he still had to be careful as a member of the sect.
"Omi Asai family attendant general Asai Masamoto!"
"Wakasa Takeda family old Watanabe Nari!"
"Hah!"
Masamoto and Inotaro both shouted, holding high the sword and fighting together, Masamoto is energetic, Initaro is experienced, for a time it was Masato who was at a disadvantage, but as time went by, Masamoto slowly stabilized the situation, and the two fought inextricably for a while.
However, as the head of the Nobukata was presented in front of Masasumi, Inotaro looked at the head of the Nobukata for a while and was a little distracted, and was caught by Masamoto, kicked to the ground, and then pounced forward and cut off the head of Inotaro.
