Chapter 343: Ouroboros Pursuit

The long-tailed Jinghu held his big gun high, rode a horse that released the moon hair, and when he crossed the front formation, he suddenly turned around and shouted: "Izu Mamoru, Xiao Heiji, Kashiro, Kanshiro, the four of you listen, follow my steps for a while, don't act without permission, your mission is to leave with one blow, and you must not fall in love without retreating!" Remember my commands! ”

"Hah!" The four of them responded at the same time, the true four false five people each hit a chaotic dragon flag divided into four roads, and rushed into the unprepared enemy formation in the blink of an eye, at the moment of engagement, hundreds of cavalry slammed into the ashigaru formation, the huge impact of the war horse shattered the muscles and bones they hit, and the snow bright sword light flashed and even the armor was cut into two.

A few long-tailed cavalry unfortunately crashed into the gun forest, the high-speed moving war horse seemed to hit a wall, several spears stabbed the neck of the war horse, chest and abdomen, sat down and the war horse made a painful neighing sound, the huge pulling force threw several warriors out of the air, they were thrown high, as if they were quickly thrown a chain ball out of a beautiful arc, at an incredible angle into the rear of the gun array, the next moment the sound of crackling bamboo and wood breaking came.

The companion who followed behind the long-tailed cavalry did not hesitate to draw his scimitar and slash at the culprit who killed his comrades, the snow bright knife light flashed, and a few traces of blood flew up with a huge head, and the clean cut did not have a trace of sluggish slashing, and the next moment the person took advantage of the horse's momentum to backhand and slashed at the body of another ashigaru.

The sharp scimitar easily cut through the simple carcass, and a terrible wound was cut along the drive from the neck diagonally, and bright red blood spurted out of the chest like a gushing spring, and in the blink of an eye, half of the remnants were knocked away by the huge force driven by the war horse. The blood splattered everywhere woke the deceased's comrades from their terror.

Blood can inspire fear as well as anger. Stirred by the blood of his comrades. Hojo Ashigaru, who had been stunned for a long time, reacted in an instant, and in an instant, more than a dozen three guns stabbed into the body of the long-tailed cavalry from different angles, and the huge impact force on the front made the long-tailed cavalry stab through before he had time to react more, and his body twitched and hung down the scimitar that was about to fall, and his head tilted and fell off the horse.

In an instant, the assault of 2,000 cavalry broke the stalemate on the battlefield, and the cyan and black forces were entangled on the position, and bewitching blood-colored flowers bloomed everywhere, which are bloody flowers that can only be produced by human life. It took countless lives to nourish this terrible spectacle.

Nagao Jinghu held a scimitar in his left hand and a large spear in his right hand, the spear was like a dragon, and the blood light was enchanting everywhere it passed, and the samurai on horseback who followed closely behind him turned into sharp razors, each penetration cut a deep wound that could be seen in the bone, and like a chisel to cut off the last hard shell of the Hojo Army.

The tragic shouts and roars were quickly dissipated by more and more ashigaru influxes, and within a while, the main force of the Hojo Army, which was more than 2,000 people, was slaughtered, and one of the main reserves was completely wiped out without even a chance to escape, and the rest of the teams could not support it and retreated, and the entire battlefield was like a domino rout.

I don't know when the distant mountain scenery has run away. Lost from the command of their commander, the samurai followed their own will or launched a decisive charge. Or turn around and flee frantically, a collapse of the situation at a very fast speed into several complete collapses, until the 20,000 army collapses, 20,000 people retreat backwards in a daze, no one dares to provoke the long-tail army that is like a mad tiger, at this time there is only escape.

When Hojo Shiyasu heard the news, his body shook and almost fell, and the ministers hurriedly helped him to take out the decoction of clearing heat and dispel heat and poured it into his mouth, and it took him a long time to wake him up, and the first thing he said when the Sagami lion woke up was scolded: "The embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed in the anthill, and my Shiyasu worked hard to destroy it in one fell swoop, and the distant mountain scenery mistook me!" ”

Yamato Qingtong sighed and said, "Lord! At this point, please cheer up, the rout of the Eastern Route Army has shaken our army, please make a decision quickly! ”

Hojo Shiyasu's face was very bad, and he struggled to sit up with the support of his close attendants, and ordered: "Quickly adjust the five colors to prepare for reinforcements, protect the main formation and slowly retreat, remember not to be anxious to be bitten by the tail of the long-tail army!" ”

Seeing that the situation was not good, several retainers suddenly glanced at the young family governor, and the deputy general of the Hojo Army, the eldest son of the Hojo clan, hurriedly said: "Father! Don't do that! The Ueno coalition army has collapsed five formations, as long as the five colors are prepared to hold on for a while and a half, they can break through Nagano Yemasa's main formation, and as soon as Nagano Yezheng dies, the Ueno coalition army will immediately disperse, and we still have a chance to turn the tables! ”

"Do you think the family doesn't know? You've been planning for a long time, go and see for yourselves what is happening outside the battle! If the family hadn't seen this, how would they have fainted! Hojo Shiyasu pointed outward, and all the ministers looked to the east, only to see the long-tailed Jinghu's chaotic dragon banner closely following behind the retreating Hojo army, and from time to time the big banner of the Hojo army was cut down, and behind the chaotic dragon banner was the black suppressed long-tail army, they put on a desperate posture, which stunned everyone.

Hojo Yasu sighed gloomily: "Withdraw!" Taking advantage of the big defeat, the Einsatzgruppen was also called back. ”

……

The Ueno National People's Army was defeated on all fronts and couldn't even hold its feet, and under the powerful offensive of Hojo Goshibei, it bombarded back into the camp like a chicken chasing a dog, and most of the main forces were not even a chance to play and were swept back by the defeated army of the forward, and the Ueno Army, which was famous in the Kanto region, was defeated back in a daze without even playing the level of 30%, and Nagano was almost turned back.

Fortunately, this camp is solid enough, the root foot is modeled after the camp of the Long Tail Army, the wooden fence is two feet high, and the thick feet are more than a row of giant wooden nails, and the hori is two deep, two and a half are wide and two and a half into an arc, and the camp has more than ten built-in simple arrow oars.

Da Hu Xiugang immediately stood in front of the main gate of the camp, surrounded by a group of more than ten old brothers, each with a knife and gun, he made a big gun in the chaos of the army, there was no enemy in the place where he passed, personally led the headquarters of the Lang Party left and right to rush back a few of the main forces that were surrounded, and only then did he return to kill the generals when the left and right were surrounded by the five-color reserves.

Heibei's multi-eyed Yuanxing was proud of his martial bravery, and when he saw that Da Hu Xiugang was fierce and unrejoicing, he personally fought in person, but he was smashed by Da Hu Xiugang with a sweep, and his hands shook so sore that even the big gun was thrown out. It's another slashing and slashing slash that breaks the three-day moon pocket. Expose the head of the multi-eyed Yuanxing.

"Huh? This man is still a general. Look at this flag seal is the Duomu clan! The killing intent in Da Hu Xiugang's eyes skyrocketed, he didn't pay attention to the identity of this young warrior, and after a closer look, he saw Hei Bei's flag seal and immediately became murderous, if he killed Hei Bei in one fell swoop, he would definitely be able to curb the offensive momentum of the five-color Bei, and figure out the reason for this, Da Hu Xiugang's killing intent was blazing and staring at the multi-eyed Yuanxing who was holding the sword.

"Oops!" The two brothers were suddenly shocked, their father Hojo Army pursued Yamakaku Dingyoshi was a subordinate of Tamu Mototada, and the two families had a close relationship for generations. At this time, how not to be surprised when I saw Da Hu Xiugang's big gun.

Yoshinobu Ohtani, Doctor Itami Oemon, Fukushima Iga Mamoru and Fukushima Shiro Emon and other black Bei fierce generals desperately rescued, and suddenly seven or eight spears stabbed at Dahu Xiugang, and the future sword master became unparalleled, and immediately gave up the plan to kill Duomu Yuanxing and hurriedly retreated with the soldiers and horses of the headquarters.

At this time, someone in the five-color preparation broke the name of "the first shot in Shangzhou" Dahu Musashi, and it was rumored that his martial courage was not inferior to Hojo Tsunari, and the five-color preparation who had seen the skills of the rehmannia Hachiman knew that he was brave and did not dare to plunder his edge, so he had to let them fight and retreat back to the gate of the village to guard the wall.

In order to eliminate the bad influence of Nagano's eleven shots, Hojo Tsusunari decided to let the renegade "Nagano Five Guns" lead his men and horses to attack the main gate, and secretly set up elites on his left and right to wait for an opportunity to sneak attack, and this strategy really worked. In the past, the "Sixteen Guns of Nagano" looked back again, and naturally the enemies were very red when they saw each other.

There are eleven people on Dahu Xiugang's side, and there are only five people on the opposite side. And the other party's departure was cowardly in front of him, and he was beheaded by Da Hu Xiugang as soon as he saw it, and the remaining three turned around and wanted to escape and were easily eliminated by his ten brothers, they killed their former comrades-in-arms without mercy, and it was self-defeating to miss the old feelings on the battlefield.

Nagano Eleven Guns are busy cleaning up the portal and the unguarded retreating Hojo Army will have a follow-up move, and it will be a little too late until Hojo Tsusunari suddenly appears, and most of the Nagano Army is spears and foot light Losing the protection of the array is like a shelled egg, and it will be broken into several pieces as soon as the external force touches it, not to mention that the general on the opposite side is Hojo Tsusunari, and it is a calculated and unintentional raid.

The two Inoue brothers were killed on the spot, and the people were cut into several plates and quickly slaughtered, and the slightly further back Takayama Manzhong and Wada Bingbu saw that the situation was not good, and they rushed to block the attack of the Yellow Hachiman, and they used their lives to fight for their brothers' escape.

The big defeat and the big victory followed by another fiasco, the little heart that the Nagano army had just accumulated was knocked out, Da Hu Xiugang looked at the four brothers being easily swallowed by Huang Bei, and there was only endless remorse and anger in his heart, Da Hu Musashi Mamoru was famous for his martial arts in Kanto, but he was not a pure martial artist, on the contrary, he had already been quite early in military strategy, knowing that the other party had set up a trap and drilled into it that was a reckless man, and the reckless man died early on the battlefield, but the sword master did not die.

Nagano Yezheng led more than 1,000 horsemen to respond, after a period of slaughter, the yellow cavalry was scattered everywhere in the face of the dense gun forest was also helpless, Hojo Tsunade saw that it was good to accept the team and immediately withdrew the team, filling the white and green preparation to ashigaru to ashigaru, and always maintained the suppressive force on the main gate.

The main gate will not be able to be beaten for a while and a half, but fortunately, there is still a side gate to attack, Nagano Yesamasa's gate and several sons-in-law sit at the side gate, Nagano Yegu and Kohata Nobutada are also entrapped in it, Hojo Goseki's lack of siege means The disadvantage is undoubtedly highlighted, and it is difficult to break through the two camps without stopping.

At this time, the envoy of the Hojo family sent an order to withdraw the troops.

"What! Retreat now! Are you teasing me? Tominaga Naokatsu was born with a loud voice, and he didn't know how to restrain himself when he spoke, at this time he pointed to the dilapidated Nagano Army camp, and spat on the star's face: "Whose idea is this, let go of the big victory in your hand, and destroy the great cause of the lord, do you eat the sin?" ”

The envoy didn't dare to provoke this big firecracker, so he had to be patient and reassured: "Fuyongdian is cautious!" This is an edict issued by the lord, and the long-tailed Jinghu defeated ......"

Xu was angry, and Tominaga Naokuma didn't care about the identity of the envoy, so he walked up to him and scolded: "Ahhhh Are you making me stupid? The lord must have been deceived by you ministers, and he couldn't see our sons and daughters fighting bloodily, throwing away their armor and fleeing from the wind? You're still not a samurai after all! There is no morality of a samurai! Yes! Answer me! ”

"Tominagaden! Are you going to disobey orders? The face of the fan immediately drooped, and he didn't know how many times he had scolded in his heart, so he made a killer move directly with a gloomy face: "Please think about it carefully." What is the price to pay for rejecting the decree of the lord! I'll give you a moment to think it through. ”

Hojo Tsunaru glanced at Hojo Tsunada. Let him deal with that envoy. He himself walked over and comforted: "Fuyongdian is temporarily angry, the lord's decision has its own lord's reason, the long-tail army counterattack is extremely fast and is still chasing and killing the retreat of the Eastern Route Army, we should take a step back to keep the formation from losing, this formation only has four thousand troops is still not safe enough, you don't have to be too angry, this time it didn't work out and there will be a next time, and it will be back in the future." ”

Yasukatsu Kasahara followed and said, "Doctor Saemon is right. We are all working for the lord, and laying the land is also for our Hojo family, if this merit is for this to let the formation be raided, our merit will become a sin! ”

"But...... But ......" Tominaga Naokumi glanced at the dilapidated camp with some unwillingness, and finally swallowed this breath: "What you said is reasonable, it's me Naokami who is too eager, so wait until next time?" ”

"Hmmm! Let's talk about it next time! Hojo Tsusunari coughed and ordered: "By the lord's decree, the whole army retreats!" ”

The sudden retreat of the Hojo Army gave the Ueno National People's Army a brief respite, and Nagano Yemasa was overjoyed when he saw this: "It must be the main hall of the long tail bomb that has launched the operation, and the long tail bullet is indeed worthy of the dragon of Echigo." The speed of the soldiers can force the five-color backup to come back, and at this time, the attack from the rear will be able to destroy the enemy. It is rumored that I will order the whole army to fight with me again in the Hojo Army. ”

Soon Nagano Yemasa was disappointed, I thought that the people of Ueno would be able to regain their cheer when they heard the news, but the actual effect was unsatisfactory, Shirai Nagao, Nagao, Ashikaga Nagao, several leading bosses have been playing soy sauce and don't buy his account, such as Numata Kantai and others boasting that the Nagao family hardcore has long been excluded from the system by Nagano Yemasa, and now Nagano Yezheng's prestige is damaged, and he will not bird him, which is all in his expectation, and the most surprising thing for him is that his own people also have problems.

Da Hu Xiugang said unexpectedly perfunctorily: "Everyone is very tired, take a break and then go out." ”

I never expected him to dare to refuse euphemistically, and immediately became angry: "What does Dahu Musashi Shou mean by this?" Are you going to disobey? Don't forget how my lord helped you forgive your sins. ”

"Disobedience! Whose order! I really dare to think that I am the lord! Fujii Toyogo Shouyouzhong sneered: "Forgive our sins, why are we implicated, it's not that some people give ......"

"Shut up! Do not be rude to the messengers of Shinanoden. Da Hu Xiugang said with a smile: "I'll wait to guard the camp gate to kill a pass, now the soldiers are tired and unsustainable, please return to the Shinano Hall and let me rest for a while, presumably the Shinano Hall will be able to understand our feelings!" ”

Sent away the unhappy envoy, a few people gathered together and scolded Nagano Yemasa with a word, and Dobira Mori sighed and said: "We slaughtered those five bastards with our own hands in order to wash away our grievances, and for this reason, we almost broke four brothers in Hojo Tsunari's way, and nine of the sixteen brothers went, what is it called now?" Nagano Shichihongun? ”

Da Hu Xiugang pulled out the sword on his waist, stared at the ghostly light and whispered: "Ueno Qiben gun, we are from Ueno country, not from Nagano!" ”

……

A long-tailed cavalryman in black armor bit Yuanshan Gangjing and chased after him, behind him were thousands of retreating soldiers, sitting down and panting desperately, obviously it couldn't stand the poor toss of running around for a day, Yuanshan Gangjing was very anxious, and if they didn't run, they would all have to die here, but he soon received another news that made him even more anxious.

"My lord! The old lord said that the mount couldn't run, and the old lord couldn't support it. ”

"What!" Toyama Tsunashi was shocked when he heard this, his father Toyama Tanba Shou Naoki is known as "Gu Tanba", he is still healthy over seventy years old, he can eat and sleep and be healthier than many young samurai, and he followed Hojo Sakumo from Kyoto to Izu Countryside to gain a foothold in the beginning, and it can be said that he has been working hard for the hegemony of the Hojo family all his life, and he is obviously reluctant to stay in Odawara to recuperate.

Today, the Hojo Army got up early in the morning for the army to raid Ueno Province, and ran all the way to Ueno to fight an unsuccessful joint battle, and just after lunch, it was a defeat and desperate escape, not to mention that an old man of his age couldn't bear it, and the young samurai were also tired and weak, and the samurai on horseback were fine, and the ashigaru who was running with bamboo spears was getting slower and slower, so they were simply left down and abandoned.

Yuanshan Gangjing hurriedly turned around and found his father next to the grove, the old man was sitting under the boulder with white hair and pale face, and was closely guarded by several guards, Yuanshan Gangjing immediately turned over and dismounted, walked forward quickly to help the old man, and said, "Father! You get on my horse and hurry up, there are children here. ”

"The old man can't run, and he doesn't want to run anymore, Fujikuro! Hurry up with your sons, the old man has lived enough, let me spend the last time here quietly! Naokei Yuanshan pushed his hand away, and said, "Remember that you are the head of the family, don't be emotional, go!" ”

"Father!" The big man with a big head in the distant mountains was anxious, and the blazing afternoon sun shone on his face, and he wanted to forcibly support his father but was forced to retreat by the old man's knife, and several guards around the old man put their hands on the handle of the knife, turning their dead fish eyes as if to tell him, I don't bird you are not the governor, come over and cut you.

"The Echigo cavalry is here! Run! ”

Yuanshan Gangjing's face changed and he almost jumped up, several times to persuade his father but still didn't allow it, a few close attendants wanted to forcibly pull the old lord on the horse when they saw that the situation was not good, those few eyeless guards really dared to use a knife to cut people, and a few close favorites who put down Yuanshan Gangjing in front of him made the corners of his distressed mouth twitch constantly.
