246 is too young
The raging flames of the Kokucho Castle and the surrounding camps were so striking at night that even Edo Castle, miles away, could be seen clearly.
If Yasushi Ota was still in Edo Castle, he would definitely not hesitate to take control of Edo Castle and cut off Hojo Shiyasu's retreat. But at the moment, he was following Hojo Shiyasu, fighting with the coalition as Shiyasu's Chinese army.
Yasuzi had already been in contact with the same clan Ota Shimasa, and planned to defect in this battle, but the offensive of the coalition army lasted like a wave, and he did not have time to switch sides, and behind him was the banner team of the Hojo clan, if it was attacked on both sides, it was afraid that it would not last for twenty minutes.
This world is really ironic, Ota Yasuzu is still thinking about how to kick the Hojo clan and give the Hojo army a stone, but at the moment he is fighting desperately for his life, and inadvertently becomes the "loyal and brave retainer" who protects the Hojo clanyasu.
Toyama Tsunaki, who was on the right flank of Hojo Shiyasu, was captured by the fierce general Masaki Shigeru when Satomi Yoshiyao launched the first wave of charge. As a result, the forces of the Toyama Tsunakei Division collapsed, and the Chinese army of the Hojo clan Yasushi was in a confrontation with the Satomi family.
When the enemies met, they were very angry, and the Hojo family and the Satomi family had been fighting for the control of the sea in Sagami Bay for many years, and it had long been an endless situation.
Shiyasu had the most elite strength of the Hojo family, and he took the lead in launching a counter-charge, not only did the army not be ambushed and dispersed, but also killed Satomi Yoshiyao by surprise, forcing the Satomi army back dozens of steps.
However, the Hojo Army, which lacked stamina and even less troops, was immediately pushed back, and Shiyasu was also in a hurry to withdraw to Edo, and was unwilling to fight Satomi Yoshiyao to the end. It's just because what he has to face tonight, in addition to the Kwantung coalition forces such as Satomi, Satake, Ota, etc., there is also the horse riding team that will appear at some point!
The fire borrows the wind, the people borrow the fire, and the coalition forces rely on the strength of the crowd to desperately squeeze the activity space of the Hojo Army.
When he retreated to the castle of Kokufudai, Naokatsu Tominaga on the north side was also defeated, and the gate of Kokyodaijo Castle had already been destroyed by the hidden stakes left by the coalition forces, and the red soldiers poured out of the castle with the half-charred Hojo Tsunataka and merged into the horse seal of Shiyasu.
Seeing the tragic situation of Hojo Tsunataka, Shiyasu was angry.
It was only then that he understood what was going on with the explosion in the national capital...... That's the explosives that the coalition forces have buried in this pill!
Hojo Tsunataka had already blown off one of his hands, and his body and thighs were also dripping with blood, and there was a smell of gunsmoke mixed with blood.
Tsunagao was still conscious, he reluctantly pushed away the guard, stood tremblingly on one leg in front of Shi Kang, and muttered with his gunpowder-blackened lips:
"Minister...... Ministers...... Negative ......"
"Enough!"
Shi Kang broke off and stopped Tsunagao's plea, he took a big step and stood in front of Tsunagao, and stretched out his hand to support the crumbling family general:
"Say no more! Brother Mishimamaru, I'll take you back to Edo! ”
Hojo Tsunadaka's already dim eyes suddenly glowed with a dazzling look, and he seemed to be stimulated by something, and suddenly pushed Shikang away violently.
"Shinkuro! …… You're going to order me, it's too early! Let's go back to Odawara and practice the wooden sword! You're too young! ”
Fang Cai Shikang called him by Tsunada's young name "Mishimamaru", and Tsunataka also responded with Shiyasu's young name "Shinkuro".
What made Hojo Shiyasu even more uncomfortable was that what Hojo Tsunataka said to him at this moment was just like the conversation between the two when they were teenagers many years ago.
Hojo Shiyasu, who has never smiled, has always known only bloodshed, and doesn't know what tears are, wept.
"Akabei!"
Hojo Tsunataka roared with all his might:
"Let me break it!"
"Oh!"
Hojo Clan Yasu stepped onto his war horse and slowly retreated towards the Tone River surrounded by the samurai of Hachimoto.
Not once did he look back.
"Lord, I wish you good luck and prosperity!"
Hojo Tsunataka bowed shallowly to the departing Hojo clanyasu, then turned around, and blocked the path with his Red Reserve team, motionless as a mountain.
In an instant, the cavalry team has roared.
The Red Reserve, which should have been invading like a fire, was as immobile as a mountain, and the Black Reserve, which should have been immobile like a mountain, rushed left and right in the battalion of the coalition army, and the invasion was like fire.
Taiyuan Xuezhai did not ride a horse, he walked slowly in the camp with a plain gun, although the steps were very slow, but the distance of each step was very large.
Although he walked slowly, he was indomitable and never looked back, because from the beginning of the night attack to the present, the Imagawa Army and the Hojo Army led by him have successively broken through the camps of seven coalition forces, and won seven battles and seven victories.
The Hojo Army set fire to the coalition camp, littered with corpses, and the dark red blood, which had not had time to seep into the dirt, merged into streams and flowed into the trench in front of the camp and rushed to the nearby Edo River.
Blood and fire are of the same origin!
The night wind blowing from the mountains of Koshu lifted his black monk's robe, and Xue Zhai stood like a needle in the sea of blood and fire.
Spreading outward from Taiyuan Yukisai, the soldiers of the Hojo and Imagawa families set off huge waves in the camp of the Kwantung coalition army.
As the leader of the party, Yokose Narishi has been rushing to the front, he has been in the coalition camp for a long time, and he is familiar with the defense and patrol of various departments, and the attack is naturally extremely fast.
Many of the wealthy clans who were defeated by Yokose did not expect that the Yokose family, who were still fighting side by side during the day...... He betrayed them without even saying hello.
"Traitor! That's all you have to do today! ”
A young man with a reserve blocked the way.
Cheng Fan squinted his eyes and looked at the young man's body, and immediately realized that this was a valuable prey.
"Ye Sheng Sang...... Your father isn't here, do you want me to teach you in his place? ”
Yokose approached step by step with a knife.
Nagano is fighting with a sword, but he is only ten years old this year, and although he is taller than his peers, his strength and martial arts are far from being successful.
Not long after the two fought, Cheng Fan knocked away Yesheng's knife and put the knife on Yesheng's neck:
"You're so young!"
Yokose Narihiro stomped a glance at the Nagano family's samurai with a look in his eyes like a victor playing with his prey.
He seemed to be sure that the samurai of the Nagano family would not risk coming to the rescue of Yamori, so he put a knife on Yemori's neck, twisted Yemori's arm with one hand, and pushed him forward.
The samurai of the Nagano clan really retreated, and the more they retreated, the more proud Cheng Fan became, until Cheng Fan saw the one who did not retreat.
The young man wore no armor, but a light samurai uniform, and a sword on his chest, and his thin body seemed to fall when the wind blew.
Narishi Yokose stopped, and he instinctively smelled that the young man was a dangerous animal.
"Let him go, I can keep you all dead."
As soon as the young man spoke, his voice was as chilling as a poisonous snake spitting out a letter.
"You're going to beat me!"
Yokose calmed down, and the knife in his hand added another point of force, and the sharp blade pressed against Nagano Yemori's neck, which had already cut his skin and dripped red blood.
The corners of the young man's mouth curled into a cold smile, and then he ...... He moved!
It's hard to know like a yin, moving like a thunderbolt, Yokose Nari only felt the shadow of a young man, and Nagano Yemori, who had been held hostage by him, suddenly fell to the side.
Cheng Fan was annoyed and ashamed, and slashed down with a knife, with the momentum of a Buddha blocking and killing a Buddha!
However, this is of no avail.
By the time Yokose's knife fell to the ground, his skull had rolled into the distance.
Behind Cheng Fan, the thin young man slowly put the knife into its sheath:
"That's right, we're young."
