Seven generations of pillars, the first generation of Zhengyi general Yuan Yorichao psychological dark, in order to protect the Hanoi Genji descendants from being usurped, he personally abolished the family of relatives, whether it is the honest and obedient Yuan Fan Lai, or the source of the Yoshijing who repeatedly disobeyed orders, all ended up in death.

In the Kamakura shogunate's promotion of the Mimon leaf, the Yasuda clan and the Hiraga clan are all separate families of the Takeda family, and the Hiraga clan is the old man of the Genji family in Kawachi, and they were all beaten down after the Hojo family took power, if it weren't for the Ashikaga family's early arrival on the big tree of the Hojo family, it would definitely be the end of being wiped out.

The Ashikaga clan successively experienced the Kajiwara Keitoki of the Kamakura period, the Hiki no Kushi, the Hatakeyama Shigetadashi Rebellion, the Wada Rebellion, the Jokushi Rebellion, and the Hoji Rebellion, and gradually rose to prominence by virtue of their merits, and after the Hiraga clan was abolished, the cautious Ashikaga family seized the position of the head of the Kawachi Genji family, as evidenced by the Miji Hachiman Shrine established during the Seiku period, as well as the enshrined mustache and white flag.

The Ashikaga clan has been extremely forbearing, and the only impulse is the frost moon turmoil, and the young and vigorous Ashikaga family can't swallow the anger of being bullied no matter what, and when Anda Taimori is persecuted, he resolutely stands up and confronts the imperial people, and this war almost makes the Ashikaga family fall.

Misfortune lurked in the air, and the Ashikaga clan made a name for themselves with this war, not the followers of the Hojo family, but also the battle that woke up all the Kamakura royal families, so that those samurai who were still in fantasy woke up and realized the cruel persecution of the imperial family system by the Hojo family, thus laying the cause and effect of the fall of Kamakura.

When the fall of Kamakura arose new problems, the Ashikaga clan and the Nitta clan competed for the lineage of Genji in Kawachi, because they were both descendants of Genyoshikuni. The ancestor of the two families, Minamoto Yoshikoku, married a total of two main families. The ex-wife is the daughter of Atsuki Fujiwara. This Fujiwara Atsuki is a tributary of the Fujiwara clan, and the official rank is the fourth under Uenosuke, a cultural person in the late Heian period, and his poetry is very well written, and his daughter's status is naturally not a person with a bad status.

So Gen Yoshikoku's eldest son, Taro Yoshishige, was born, this Jun is the founder of the Nitta clan, born in 1114, but the good times did not last long, Gen Yoshikoku's ex-wife soon died of illness. With the complete fall out of Minamoto Yoshikoku and Minamoto Yoshi, Minamoto Yoshikuni returned to his fiefdom to live in Ashikaga Sho, because the relationship with his eldest son Yoshige was very blunt all the year round, and the relationship between father and son was not harmonious.

Yuan Yoshikoku, who was in the prime of life, didn't want to be a widower for a lifetime, so he found another famous family in Kyoto and married a stepfamily, this stepfamily had a higher background, but was the daughter of Yuan Youfang, this Yuan Youfang and Lieutenant General Zhou Fang, the minister of Murakami Genji, and later became the adopted son of the left minister Yuan Youren. The official rank of Sheng Jinzheng is the fourth lieutenant general of the lower left guard, and he is also a famous cultural person. He is especially good at waka, and several waka songs have been compiled into the waka collection.

After Gen Youfang's daughter married into Genji, she gave birth to a new generation of sister-in-law Yoshiyasu in 1127, who looked like herself, and was more well-behaved and lovely Yoshiyasu was very loved by Minamoto Yoshikoku, and the eldest son Yoshige was a maverick child who had always been estranged from Minamoto Yoshikoku, so the problem of the two sons-in-law born in the main room came.

Because there is a deep contradiction between Yuan Yiguo and Yuan Weiyi, so Yuan Yiguo chose to support his younger brother Yuan Yoshitada's widow Hanoi Jingguo, in order to help him develop, he spared no effort, and sent money, grain and land, and finally only left the territory of dozens of townships near Noashika Village, the two boys gradually grew up, what should be done with the territory?

Because the eldest son Yoshige is still not worrying in his twenties, the second son Yoshiyasu in his teens is more intelligent and well-behaved, so he gave birth to the idea of abolishing the heir, there is no difference between the descendants in the Genping era, as long as it is a son, he can inherit the family business, but Gen Yoshikoku feels that the eldest son may feel that he is a son-in-law, no matter how disobedient you have to give me the family property, which makes Gen Yiguo very unhappy, and has been thinking about how to get the eldest son out.

Later, there was a fierce conflict between the eldest son Yoshishige and the second son Yoshiyasu, and the samurai who supported both sides fought against each other and almost caused a catastrophe, and Minamoto Yoshikuni decided to exile the eldest son Yoshishige in anger and completely get rid of him from Shimono Ashikaga Sho, so Nitta Yoshishige packed up and ran out of Shimono Province, hid in a wasteland in Ueno to reclaim Nitta to make a living, and then established a Shingso and became the founder of the Nitta clan.

And Ashikaga Yoshiyasu stayed with his father Minamoto Yoshikoku, inherited the territory of Shimono Ashikaga-sho, and changed the word Ashikaga clan, when Minamoto Yorishio raised troops, the samurai family in Kanto served in the army a lot, and the Ashikaga family was attracted by Minamoto Yoshinaka and Minamoto Yoritomo at the same time because of its special status.

The Ashikaga clan discussed that it was still optimistic about Minamoto Yorishio, and as a result, the eldest son of the Ashikaga Yoshikiyo acted as a martyr and defected to Minamoto Yoshinaka, and then died on the battlefield, and his descendants were one of the cornerstones of the Ashikaga clan, and the son-in-law Yoshikane defected to Minamoto Yoritomo and won great respect from Minamoto Yoritomo.

The old and faint Nitta Yoshishige didn't go anywhere, his temperament has always been so careless that he doesn't know how to maintain interpersonal relationships, and he doesn't want to mix with Lai Chao at all, but symbolically sends his concubine and grandson to the source of Lai Chao's army, who knows that he has developed a powerful Satomi clan and Yamana clan.

And Nitta Yoshishige was busy fighting against Shinano's Kiso Yoshinaka faction, and he didn't have time to manage Gen Yorishio, and when Gen Yorishige was getting stronger, he woke up and hurriedly ran to the icing on the cake, Gen Yoshishige was very disgusted with this old guy who relied on the old and sold the old, and directly threw the Nitta family away and ignored it.

Ashikaga Yoshikane relied on the opportunity to join the army and resume meritorious service, so that his descendants and the Hojo clan were married to stabilize their position, and later Hojo Masako reactivated the Nitta clan after the death of Minamoto Yorishio, and appointed Nitta Yoshishige as an elder of the Genji on the grounds that Nitta Yoshishige was not bad at his age.

The two major tributaries of the source Yoshiko, the Satake family of the Changlu Gen clan rebelled against the general trend of the world against the source of the Yorito, and the source of the capital of the Golden Sand Mountain City was helpless, and finally it was broken by the internal strategy, and the Satake family was kicked out of the royal gate by the angry Gen Yorichao, and only got the name of a local tyrant of the Satake crown.

Kai Genji's Takeda Nobuyoshi once tried to compete with Minamoto Yoshinaka and Minamoto Yorichao for the pillars of the samurai family, but was finally treated coldly by Minamoto Yorichao and died of depression, and the other clans were either chased and killed by the Hanoi Jingguo and cut off one after another, or were pulled by Minamoto Yoritomo to be used as a close minister casually.

The Ashikaga clan hated the Silla Saburo lineage, and the Ashikaga clan's closest chance to the pillars of the Genji clan was destroyed by Gen Yoshimitsu, or hatred within the Genji clan. This is cause and effect. Yuan Yoshimitsu treacherously killed his brother and nephew. also forced another nephew, Gen Yoshikuni, to lose his position as the pillar of the Genji, and the Ashikaga clan could only rely on Hojo Masako's family to barely keep his identity and almost end up in the Frost Moon Turmoil.

This one offense was too ruthless, and the hatred continued until the establishment of the Ashikaga shogunate, and he was indifferent to Takeda and Satake, and Akamatsu, Yamana, Sasaki, and Toki were promoted successively.

Even though Takeda Nobubu was reused for a while, the descendants were suppressed one after another, and Anyu Takeda was pressed from guardian to sub-county guard, and Takeda Nobuyei of Wakasa Takeda became the favorite of Ashikaga Yoshikyo with his male color to get the opportunity to crusade against the Isshiki clan and seize the guardian of Wakasa. The entire Takeda family was demolished by the shogunate.

Kira Yoshitoki shouted: "Takeda Harunobu! Look clearly at the big banner of my Ashikaga family, the white flag and the black letters Ashikaga two lead two lines, and then look at the Ru Takeda family, the red flag is golden and the four are cut Ling, you are wearing red armor and playing the red flag, are you going to rebel? Is it Genji or Heiji? Don't you know that it is my Genji taboo to play the red flag? He also said that you have no disobedience! ”

"You ......" Takeda Harunobu was furious, and suddenly felt that the sky was spinning in front of him, and the reins in his hands could no longer be pulled and fell down, and several samurai who were quick to move on the side hurriedly lifted the fainted Takeda Harunobu and put it down, if it wasn't for someone to protect him. Takeda Harunobu is definitely going to fall, and if he falls out of three long and two short, the Takeda family will be over.

Harunobu Takeda fainted and was seen by many samurai. For a while, the hearts of the troops in the Takeda army were in turmoil, and Kira Yoshitoki in the distance also observed the movement of the Takeda army's main formation, and immediately waved his military equipment and shouted: "It's now, the whole army will attack and defeat the Takeda army!" ”

The sound of the guntaiko drum turned from an earthquake to a high-pitched one, the conch that symbolized the attack was blown out, and a group of Ashigaru samurai slowly accelerated with a neat pace, and the commotion of the Takeda army also returned to calm with this horn.

This time the formation is based on the fish scale array, the left and right flanks are each a thousand Shinano people, the main force of the Nagao Army in front of the side of the formation, at this time the main force of the Kira Army and the number of the Takeda Army is not much different, the elite degree of the two sides is also different, the two sides of the Ashigaru Array collided fiercely together, there was no fancy fight at all.

The location of Shinoi is very interesting, located in the alluvial plain at the foot of Mt. Chausu, on one side is the winding Chikuma River, along the Chikuma River up for a mile, the east and west banks are Shiozaki Castle and Yashiro Castle respectively, and at this time the main formation of the Kira army was less than 1,000 people and was not discovered by the Takeda army, that is the 500 heavy wisteria bow commanded by Naito Masanari, and the 500 iron artillery team led by Takigawa Mashige.

Originally, the terrain of Hachimangahara was not the best battlefield for cavalry warfare, because Hachimangahara is located in the core area of Kawanaka Island, and the land has always been rich in water and grass, and the land is soft, and you can't see whether it is a water pit or a dirt pit under the lush grass, so the cavalry should be extra careful when marching, especially the cavalry of the Kira Army to prevent mistakes, but this year, a drought turned the situation around, and the dry grass and cracked the ground brought changes to the environment of the battlefield.

To Kira's surprise, the Takeda army was also equipped with dozens of iron cannons, and the familiar roar and rising smoke brought great pressure to the Shinano people on both wings, and the ashigaru could only lower their heads and speed up their pace, at this time, neither the carcass nor the Jinkasa could make you safer.

Soon, the horseback samurai of the Takeda army slaughtered on both wings, and the people of Shinano could only shout for support while sending their own horseback samurai, and the bows and arrows of the Takeda army were lightly pressed in the rear and calmly threw arrows, and the situation suddenly became the rhythm of the Takeda army pressing the Kira army.

"Suda Shinnosuke's team is repulsed!"

"The Banda City Guards have been defeated! Banda City Guards have been taken! ”

Although the Takeda Army dragged the middle lane, the strategy of attacking the left and right gradually worked, and the Long Tail Army fell into the embarrassment of whether to support or not, and whether to support or not to support was a difficult problem, and the two wings that did not support would soon be crushed, and then it would become a semi-encircled situation.

But support is not a good choice, as long as there is a change in the long-tail army, the Takeda army will definitely withdraw the fists of the two wings to focus on attacking the middle lane, and a time difference can make a huge change in the battlefield situation.

Fortunately, the Samurai Echigo on the left flank, such as Minoru Honjo, Katsuchi Katsuchi, Katsunaga Sebe, and Harutsuna Kaji on the left flank, and Sanobu Saito, Nakajo Fujishi, Yasuda Keimoto, and Arakawa Nagami on the right flank, were all very tenacious and kept stubbornly withstanding the attack of the Takeda army, so that the attack on the two flanks could not be effective immediately, and the scene presented a situation of a stepped tug-of-war.

Tokiyuki Yamamoto reminded: "Takeda's strategy should be to attack our Shinano coalition forces with the two wings as the main force, in order to achieve the effect of forcing the Nagao Army in the middle to distract the rescue, and pulling the two wings to cause the entire Fish Scale Formation to tear apart. Fortunately, there seems to be a problem with the Takeda Army's main formation, and it is temporarily impossible to command. Otherwise, this tactic will be very difficult to deal with! ”

"Hmm. It is necessary to allow the Honjin to increase the tempo of the attack and gain a favorable position before the Takeda Honjin reacts. ”

Kira Yoshitomo did not say anything else, and he also saw this level of tactics clearly, and he not only fought for the enemy's strategy in battle, but also grasped the timing of the fight, even if the Takeda family planned well, the lack of effective on-the-spot command still could not give full play to the maximum combat power.

It is also a military service system that integrates agriculture and soldiers, and the Takeda Army on the opposite side obviously has advantages that the once hostile Miyoshi Army does not have. A large number of veterans who have been through many battles have extremely high tactical skills, and can make unexpected changes even when the situation of the lord is unknown, which he does not want to see.

The people of Shinano on both wings were attacked, the pace of the attack of the Long Tail Army was infinitely delayed, and the messenger who asked for help went around the camp a few times and received the reply that he still insisted on waiting for the opportunity, and this bloody battle turned into an endless tug-of-war, the tight front began to be uneven, and the commanders of both sides tried their best to jump their own positions and support the damaged positions, and they all knew that this was a war that could not be retreated. The first side to retreat will cause a terrible catastrophe.

Kirakata's overall performance was average, and only in the Kira Army's home camp performed the best. The Baba Nobuharu team, which was attacking the main formation of the Kira army head-on, was fiercely attacked by Watanabe Takatsuna, and the javelin team locked the horse warriors of the Baba team and cleared a battlefield with one round of throwing.

The three-branch tiger yoshi team on top tried to stabilize the battle line, but was ruthlessly repelled by Watanabe Takatsuna, and the Iitomi Masaojing team was still unable to stop the pace of Watanabe Takatsuna's assault, and Watanabe Takatsuna, who was covered in blood, was like a killing god, and no one was spared wherever he passed with a scythe, and more than 20 samurai with names and surnames were killed in half an hour.

It wasn't until the three teams of Hara Torayin, Hara Masayin, and Tada Mitsuyori launched a flanking attack on Watanabe Takatsuna's team at the same time, and the Watanabe Takatsuna team, which had exhausted its strength with javelins, retreated, and then Suzuki Shigeji and Okochi Tsunataka who came up did not use spears at all, but changed to tomahawks, and raised the Fujiki shield with a hammer staff and a round of counter-assault, and the three Takeda reserve teams were defeated and retreated.

At this time, Takeda Harunobu came to his senses, regardless of the persuasion of his attendants, he got up and stood on a high slope to look at the battle situation below, and the tug-of-war between the two sides made Takeda Harunobu frown, and immediately ordered: "Let the Kira army attack in this formation, slowly lure into the formation, tighten the formation on the left and right at the same time, and seal the Kira army." ”

"Yes!" Several samurai carrying hundred-legged centipede flags hurriedly turned over and mounted their horses, and the hundred-legged people of the Takeda family still maintained the habit of verbally passing orders, which could effectively ensure that the opposing ninja army could not intercept and kill effective information.

Soon there was a new rhythm change in the attack of the Takeda army, and the Takeda army attacking the main formation consciously pulled the distance back, and at the same time, the arrow rain in the back row was scattered as if it were not money, and the gun and shield team of the Kira family could only hold their shields high to cover their bodies and heads and slowly move forward.

Once at this time, the rain of arrows will suddenly stop, and the Takeda army will continue to attack, and when it is broken through, it will retreat again to attract the Kira army, and the Takeda army will never be chaotic, and the Kira army will not be fooled by him, but will just adhere to the rhythm of slow advance, and quickly retreat before the Takeda army is ready to implement the two-way and three-way siege tactics.

The regrouped Baba Nobuharu took the lead in rushing to the front, and suddenly saw a group of red cavalry rushing towards him, and couldn't help but change his complexion, beckoning the infantry to set up a gun array and retreat back himself, but the other party seemed to have no intention of attacking him, and moved to the two flanks to attack the Takeda army corresponding to the long-tail army on both sides.

It turned out that Kira Yoshitoki ordered the Nagao army to rescue the people of Shinano Province, so that Akabi took the opportunity to attack the enemy troops on both flanks to distract him, and seeing that the opportunity could not be lost, the Baba army, which was about to turn around and sneak attack, was dragged by about 200 red cavalry, and what was even more odious was that they were proficient in the art of flowing horse archery, leading him all the way forward to follow.

At this time, a tall samurai wearing a white, black, and white cross suddenly, both the height of this samurai and the height of the war horse were beyond his imagination, and what was even more exaggerated was that the men and horses were all in armor, and the black riding spear flashed with a deep light.

"Run! Escape! Escape! At that moment, there was only one word that came to mind of Baba Nobuharu, a sudden stop to restrain the war horse, desperately running backwards, even if it was a shameful retreat, he could find an opportunity to wash it away, this was not the time to care about the dignity of the samurai, and if he was killed, there would be nothing.

"It's so fast!" Hans hesitated and slowed down and retreated, he had no interest in hedging against the slaughter in the advance army, especially those pesky spears would bring disadvantage to his horses, and it was dangerous to charge alone without the echo of the red cavalry.

At the same time, Rupert and other five Swiss mercenaries were still hiding behind to watch the excitement, the nature of their hiring was instructors rather than mercenaries who killed the enemy, not to mention that the five people could not exert the power of the Swiss mercenaries, and they would not rush to the front without special circumstances.

The arduous fierce battle lasted from the morning to the middle of the day, the army on both sides of the scorching heat and high-intensity battle tortured by varying degrees of combat power declined, the effective rotation tactics of the Kira family gave the rear team a chance to river water, the people hiding in the rear kept boiling water to pass the bamboo tube containing water, and some people were holding roasted potatoes to eat, with pickled radishes to supplement the salt.

The others were not so happy, and the Nagao Army, the Takeda Army, and the Shinano people on both sides could only seize the time to stuff a rice ball and drink saliva to moisten their hot throats, and the offensive rhythm of both sides invariably slowed down. (To be continued......)

PS: The Ashikaga family doesn't like to see the Takeda family, of course, the reason is not as simple as holding grudges, of course Kira Yoshitoki won't say it so clearly, and the text has to be ruthless.
