There is not much time left for the long-tail Jinghu to think and sigh, and the thousands of people who are charging head-on are as light as wolves and tigers, and the first to rush is the Edo people led by Toyama Tsunajing, this is the unlucky guy who died his son-in-law Toyama Yasukei, and finally raised a son to grow up and prepare to accept the position of family governor, but he died under the butcher's knife of the long-tail army, such a big grudge made him not hate!

"Where is the long-tailed army Saito Asanobu! Give me back my life! Yuanshan Gangjing shouted loudly and rushed over first.

Bows and arrows in light armor strode out, and laid down a neat array of arrows in front of the spear and shield ashigaru formed a spear formation, and behind them were rows of neat black armor ashigaru, they either held spears or battle axes and stood still, and the formation of nine thousand warriors gathered into a black city wall.

The bravery of the Echigo samurai was famous, and Nagamorihara fought Nagao to successfully kill Uesugi with more than 500 horsemen, spreading the prestige of the Echigo samurai throughout the Kanto region.

There were less than fifty rooms left to engage in battle, and the Hojo Army, dressed in cyan armor, slowed down sharply with a neat pace, and the experienced veterans were adjusting their breathing rhythm, as if the living cyan waves were slowing down the speed of the surge at this moment, and a small pause could pull the scattered tide back into the neat wave, and the next moment was to accelerate again and charge again.

Yamayoshi Toyomori, who was the general of the bow and arrow, shouted loudly: "There are still forty-five, immediately get on the arrow!" ”

A thousand bows and arrows silently pulled out cast iron arrows and put them on their thumbs, holding the heavy rattan bow in their left hand and hanging down naturally, and pinching the arrow feathers in their right hand to take a deep breath. The next moment, a thousand people raised their bows at the same time, tightened their grip on the bowstrings, and tightened them with all their might. A thousand large bows groaned. The silent archers counted silently to the beat of the taiko drums.

"Five, four, three, two, one...... Shoot the arrows! Hurry up, hurry up! Immediately on the arrow immediately! Get on the arrow! More than a dozen samurai urged loudly, one arrow after another came out of their hands, the bow and arrow ashilight was like a machine with full power, after shooting an arrow, immediately drew an arrow and shot another arrow, in just one minute seven or eight arrows flew out, and a violent rain of arrows crossed a beautiful trajectory and fell into the enemy formation.

A powerful storm of arrows severely disrupted the rhythm of the Hojo Army's charge, and the samurai who rushed to the first row were hit hard at the first moment. More than 30 samurai were killed in just one minute, and hundreds of Ashigaru lives were taken by the rain of arrows, but fortunately, only a minute was left for the archers.

When the last arrow came out of his hand, several archers shouted at the same time, all the bows and arrows immediately turned around and retreated into the formation without hesitation, Yamayoshi Toyoshi waved the command flag to the formation, and the spear and shield team hidden behind the archery team quickly filled the gap, this level of formation could not frighten the long-tail army, if the soldiers were well-trained or not, it depended on the performance and performance of this array.

The spear shield of the Long Tail family is obviously not afraid of the Hojo Army. Saito Asanobu, who was standing in front of him, pursed his lips disdainfully and shouted, "Listen to the order. Rack up the gun array! Hold off the enemy forces ahead! ”

The ashigaru in the first row set up a heavy step, a short spear protruded from the gap between the shields, and behind them, each ashigaru stretched three guns forward, the handle of the gun was inserted into the pre-dug earthen pit, and the right foot pressed the earthen pit against the handle of the gun, and the three guns that were five meters four long only needed to be placed on the shoulders of the ashigaru in the front row, and they could easily reach the front of the battle with their length.

"What a weird tactic this is!" Tsunade Toyama had never seen the Swiss spear formation, but he still instinctively sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly shouted: "Everyone be careful of the long-tailed military deception!" Slow down a little and slow down! ”

The rhythm of the Edo crowd's charge was shouted by the voice of Tsunashi Toyama, and the front team and the rear team who braked sharply were huddled together and almost fell into a ball, but fortunately, there were still more than 30 meters away from the receiving formation, so that the Ashigaru of the Long Tail Army had no chance to take advantage of it for a while.

I have to say that the military strategy of Toyama Tsunade is very ordinary, and he can detect that there is a problem with the formation of the Long Tail Legion, but he can't deal with this problem, and he shouts the revenge of revenge and hatred, and when the samurai are liberated from the fanaticism, the morale has also dropped from bursting to half or even lower.

"Don't panic, don't mess around, don't act rashly! Be sure to stick to the formation! "Toyama Tsunade commanded the Edo people to pull the formation and advance slowly, at this time the archery team of the Nagao Army began to exert force, the buzzing sound of the bowstring even the Hojo Army could be heard, the moment of the battle erupted in the shouting and killing, the cry covered the voice of the generals of the two reserves, and at this step the battle was the command level of the general facing the enemy.

The right flank of the Hojo family was the Furukawa group led by Harusuke Akita of Shimoki Province, and the Chiba group, one of the Yaya people of Kanto, and the left flank was the people of Kitabu Musashi Province led by Narita Nagayasu, and in an instant, nearly 20,000 troops rushed to block the Nagao Army, blocking all directions.

The Long Tail Army was suddenly blocked by 20,000 troops and was a little flustered, and with its excellent fighting qualities, it quickly moved back the small disadvantage, like the whining and whistling sound of the arrow rain of flying locusts and submerged into the Hojo Army, and the miserable howls on the opposite side sounded one after another, the rumbling military drums, the noisy clash of swords and guns, and the angry shouts and screams mixed together, and it became a mess before the moment came.

The Ashigaru spear formation of the Long Tail Army seemed to be a reef standing in the wind and rain, the black armor was as hard and calm as a rock, no matter how fierce the storm was, it could not break the hard shell of the reef, and the main formation of the Long Tail Jinghu was rooted on the top of the mountain, looking at a large area of cyan Hojo army, and sneered: "Is the Hojo family crazy?" Just because these people also want to stop my longtail family? The order is given, and the generals of all walks of life immediately counterattack and defeat the invading enemy who is trying to surround it! ”

Kagan Keichi, Kaji Harutsuna, Takemata Keitsuna, Shinbata Tsunada, Fifty Kono Hiroie, Ishikawa Shigeji and other troops each led their teams to rush out from the left and right flanks, and the battle line opened hundreds of rooms at once, and more than 20,000 people mixed together to make the scene very chaotic.

"What are the Hojo family doing here?" Nagao Jinghu found that something was wrong, and first-line generals such as Saito Asanobu and Gan Li Keichi also found that it was not right. The Hojo Army, with huge casualties and a fight and retreat, did not make sense at all. If it is not clear who is the attacking party. I thought that the switch between offense and defense to the Hojo family was the defensive side.

"Aren't they aiming for their own family? Then his goal will be ......" Nagao Jinghu's mind quickly skimmed over several possibilities, and the next moment he suddenly caught a glimpse of the strange movement of the Hojo Army's main formation, and suddenly shouted: "Oops! He's going to make a noise! The target is not our army's main camp, but the real target is the branch castle in Ueno, which is Hirai Castle, Minowa Castle, and Stable Bridge Castle! We've been tricked! ”

I saw that the main formation of the Hojo Army rushed out of the two armies with the three-scale flag, and the two armies were about 3,000 people, and each team was equipped with seven or eight hundred horseback samurai, who seemed to be two groups of wild horses that had escaped from the battlefield and swept along the streets of Ueno at great speed in the heart of Ueno Province.

Long-tailed Jinghu was taken aback. Obviously, he didn't expect that Hojo Shiyasu would also plot to deceive, and then he suddenly heard a commotion from the west, which made Fanfei Express: "The Hojo Army's 6,000 Einsatzgruppen moved in the direction of Hirai Castle, and the Ueno Coalition Army had a countryman who turned out to join the coalition army and threw himself on the side of the Hojo Army, and the Ueno Kuniren Army was shaken, and Nagano Shinano Mamoru was trying to suppress it, and the scene was chaotic!" ”

"Oops! This is going to be a big deal! Naoe stood up in a panic, looking at the Ueno coalition army in the west, which was really chaotic, and hurriedly suggested: "Lord! For the sake of today's plan, we must stop the special forces of the Hojo Army, and we must not let them take Hirai Castle. Once Hirai Castle is lost, the road back to Echigo will be cut off. Trapped here, there is no life or death! ”

"My family knows! We can't be in a hurry now, the more anxious we are, the more proud the Hojo family will be, and we can't be in a hurry! Nagao Jinghu slowly paced and tried to think of countermeasures.

Although the large battalions at both ends are bordering each other, the main formations of both sides are at the other end of the main camp, and the bordering area is the treatment and recuperation place for battlefield medical care, and of course it is also responsible for the task of holding ceremonial burials for the war dead.

Nagano Ye is waiting for the people of Ueno to seem to be deliberately guarding against the influence of the Nagao family, and it is not refreshing to do things in a way that is concealed, and Nagao Jinghu is too lazy to pay attention to their petty family spirit, and the suspicion and estrangement caused by the cooperation between the two sides becomes very troublesome, and at the same time, because the distance between the two sides is relatively far, the doors of their respective camps are open in a very remote place, and the communication between them is far from being as smooth as imagined.

I thought that the Ueno coalition would be able to exert its might to resist the Takeda army, but the result was very different from what was expected, and the situation at the scene was far more severe than imagined.

It is very common for people to marry each other, and the people of the entire Ueno country are related to each other, some of them go back to three generations or close relatives, and it is very common for relatives to belong to the two camps and oppose each other, and in the Hogen Rebellion, the source of the Kawachi Genji and the Taira Kiyomori of the Isehira clan have opposed their fathers and uncles, and then they have ended their relatives with their own hands.

Therefore, many times the samurai family does not talk about kinship, and there are many people who conflict with each other's ideas, and the father and son turn their faces into enemies and even fight against each other, and the imperial family in the Kamakura period has achieved this kind of extreme, complete egoism, selfish to the point of destroying the foundation of the imperial family collegial system with their own hands, and the stupid cannibalism finally ends up in the tragic situation of being raised and enslaved by the Hojo family.

Since Muromachi, the samurai family has also been reflecting, especially the Ashikaga shogunate attaches great importance to the family family, and the main positions of the shogunate are almost all in the hands of one door and one quasi-gate, so as to ensure that the Genji samurai family will not be stolen by powerful ministers and relatives to the greatest extent, and the trend set off by the shogun will soon spread to the people of the lower classes.

For example, the relationship between in-laws, ebony hats, brothers-in-law and brother-in-law, the relationship between cousins and cousins, and the relationship between friends from childhood to adulthood have all been substituted, and the small Chinese people have woven a huge network of relationships over hundreds of years, among which the small and medium-sized daimyo dominated by the Mutsu Oda clan are the most representative.

The advantages and disadvantages of the deep relationship between the in-laws of the Chinese people are very prominent, the relationship between relatives is easy to do, and there are many things for relatives, take the Shirakura clan and Kuragano clan, who have repeatedly reneged, for example, the two families themselves have turned against each other, and they have also rebelled against a lot of relatives in Ueno, which has brought great hidden dangers to the Ueno coalition army.

Nagano Sixteen Guns Rikura Kano Awaji Shosho Shi, Shirakura Saemon Munehito from the two clans, although they have repeatedly stated that the rebellion of the clan has nothing to do with them, but the truth in front of them will eventually lose trust, as their clan rebels again. made the status of the two Ueno Kuninaka shaky.

The joint effect of the two anti-water is that the three relatives of Nagane Samasuke, Oto Toyogomori, and Daido Temple Nobukata are also drawn to the Hojo side. The families of these three people are close to the Shirakura clan and the Kurakano clan. Nagane Zuomasuke and Odo Toyogo Mamoru are the righteous brothers of the two respectively, and the Dadao Temple Nobukata is in a brotherly relationship with the two.

The five people turned Nagano's sixteen guns into eleven shots in an instant, and the remaining eleven people are familiar with each other, and a few people are also righteous brothers with each other, and they are not all pulled away at once, and they also have their own positions and are unwilling to join the Hojo family, but they are destined to be distrusted.

Daihu Musashi Mamoru Hidetsuna was very angry, and Sixteen Guns had made a vow to unite in Minowa Castle to live and die together, and the oath of that day was still in my ears. The sixteen brothers have already belonged to two formations, and when the news of the five people's rebellion was revealed, Nagano Ye was the first to gather the remaining eleven people to speak and comfort, so that they could do things with peace of mind without worrying about other people's rumors.

But he himself knows very well that the bad influence of all this has been fermented, Nagano Yemasa is very abnormal if he doesn't scold him at the first time, he knows the temperament of the macula in Shangshu very well, and he will look at him angrily if he is slightly wrong with the familiar samurai, and the twelve sons-in-law are often scolded by him and don't see anything, once he has a good relationship with someone and the wind and drizzle, it is the rhythm of completely distrusting him.

Dobiliang's face was sad. As a pure samurai, how can there be so many fancy intestines, and how many disasters the five brothers have brought to the remaining brothers. He didn't have the courage to forgive those five people if he wanted to forgive them, so he sighed and said, "For the sake of today, only by killing them on the battlefield can we restore the lost reputation and trust!" ”

Fujii Toyogo Shouyouzhong spat and scolded: "I've long seen that those bastards are not pleasing to the eye, and I don't know what they're planning in the recent days, and I also said that they are doing what good plans to earn us a meritorious service, I never thought that these five bastards had long thought that they would exchange the honor of my brothers for a lifetime of wealth, it's shameless!" ”

"Let's say a few words after Bungo! Everyone's hearts are uncomfortable. Shirakawa Mitsukatsu's face was ugly, and he was resistant to the invective of Fujii Yutada, the Shirakawa clan and the Shirakura clan had a very close relationship with the Shirakura clan for several generations, and a few days ago Shirakura Saemon Munehito found him to discuss the matter of Riche, at that time he just said that he didn't dare to give an accurate answer after thinking about it.

He knew very well that the price of defecting at this time was huge, and the Shirakawa clan was not the only one seedling, nor was he like the Shirakura clan, a wealthy family who had long made up his mind to defect, he had to think about his family, but he didn't expect the Hojo family to come so quickly, Shirakura Saemon Sohito thought that Shirakawa Mankatsu was perfunctory to him, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he took five people to defect from the people of Ueno Province.

He almost pitted him into this one, the people of Ueno Country knew each other, and then looked at Shirakawa Mansheng's eyes changed, and they all wore hypocritical smiles, and their eyes were full of alienation and indifference, so how could this iron-clad man swallow this evil breath, no matter how difficult the situation on the battlefield was, he never frowned, but now he was sad about the apostasy of the "good brother".

As soon as the infighting among the people of Ueno happened, the military positions of eleven people were temporarily relieved for various reasons, and the army was handed over to one of their respective families to be led on their behalf. With such a blatant distrust, how can we get mixed up in Ueno? ”

Hou Xian Xinchun was also very miserable by the five "good brothers" who ran away, and the governor of the Hou Xian family was very dissatisfied with him and threatened to drive him away, making him so angry that he almost committed suicide by seppuku, mentioning this he was angry again, and said indignantly: "What the eldest brother said is reasonable, the sixteen of us made an oath to live and die together, and the five bastard boys should be killed if they gave up their feelings for us, but it is still too much for us to deprive the military rights without making a mistake, we have never said that we want to be loyal to the Nagano family, it is all Nagano Yezheng's wishful thinking, and it has nothing to do with us!" ”

Wada Bingbu caught a glimpse of the Hojo Army under the mountain approaching quickly, and snorted lightly: "The enemy army is pressing the situation and changing generals, Nagano Shinano Mamoru is old and confused!" I'm here to see what they can do to block the Hojo family's five-color preparation! ”

The situation deteriorated far beyond Nagano Yemasa's expectations, including five people in Nagano's sixteen guns, a total of 28 powerful samurai Richie defected to the Ueno coalition army, and he originally thought that he could control the situation by quickly transferring the relevant personnel from the bomb suppression, so he quickly suppressed hundreds of implicated samurai, and adopted the cooling and shelving method that neither dealt with nor washed away suspicions.

Never thought of backfire, plump ideals can not match the skinny reality, Nagano is paying the price for his mistakes, the most implicated Nagano Sixteen guns and defected to the samurai family, he was transferred from the front-line command in the name of "avoiding suspicion", and the bad impact of the change of battle will make the hearts of the Ueno people in the army fluctuate.

Nagano was trying to take the Ueno people to open the knife, and the Minowa public consensus system was occupied by him alone, etc., and so on, the soldiers could not see their own family governor was always unsure, and the more time passed, the more suspicious people became, and the rumors that were not credible were spread with noses and eyes, and the morale of the entire national army was irrepressibly declining.

Hojo Shiyasu, who was sitting in the rear, quickly noticed the problem of the Ueno coalition army, and at the beginning of the war, he beat out the ace Hojo Goshibei in his hand, these five reserves were not the same as the ordinary form of reserve formation, the number of each reserve team was between 1,900 and 2,200, and they were composed of the most elite samurai drawn from the various cities and departments of the Hojo family.

The military system of the Hojo family has gone from a simple system of sending relatives and children to the military service account, and now it has further established the trend of semi-professional standing standing, and the combat effectiveness of this 10,000-strong army is more than double that of the ordinary national army.

The temporary commander of the five-color Bei is Hojo Tsunari, also known as Jihuang Hachiman, who was originally the son of Fukushima Masanari, a native of Enoe Province, because his father was defeated and killed in the Hanakura Rebellion, and the fugitive Sagami recognized Hojo as Chang's adoptive father to inherit the family name of the Jade Rope Hojo clan, and then married the sister of Hojo Shiyasu, and officially became a member of the Hojo family, and he shouldered the important responsibility of grasping the opportunity of the war.

Hojo Tsunashi also observed the abnormal movements of the Ueno Army, and noticed that several flags in the Ueno National People's Army had disappeared, and laughed: "The lord is really calculating, and even Nagano Shinano's three heads and six arms will not escape justice...... The whole army listens to the order, assault! ”

Five-colored flags fluttered in the wind, tens of thousands of troops rushed into the formation of the Ueno National People's Army with neat steps, and the sound of shouting and killing resounded in the sky in an instant, and the five-way army pierced into the Ueno National People's Army in five directions and was not close to the front, many of the reserve units that had lost their commanders had no intention of fighting at all, and the gap between the experience and command level of the newly replaced generals was too great, and they could neither suppress the situation that was entangled in a mess nor command the chaotic reserves.

The left flank is the red and green of the five-color bi, the head of the red bi banner Hojo Tsunataka, the father of this person was originally the son of Takahashi Takashi, the son of the Horikoshi Gongkata Sege, and the mother was the daughter of Hojo Sakumo who was promoted to the Hojo Miyuo family, and the quasi-family was allowed to be called by the name of the Hojo clan.

Aobei banner head Tominaga Naokaturi, from one of the twenty-one Izu people, served as the five elders of Hojo, born in the same clan as the Tominaga clan of Mikawa Shiraku-gun, Tominaga Companion Goro Tadamoto, his family has been known as Kamishiro for generations, Captain Uemon, famous for his martial arts in the Hojo family, is a rare loyal and brave general.

The head of the Kurobi banner, Tamu Zhou, defended Motoko, and was one of the six families of the Hojo Imperial Prince, and his father, Tamu Rokuro Mototada, was the first general of the Hojo clan, and his status thirty years ago was equivalent to that of today's Hojo Tsunari, and he himself was also a very brave general, personally leading the Kurobi composed of the Suruga Province and the Toshi people.

Hakubi Banner Leader Kasawara Nonoto Yasukatsu, also from one of the twenty-one Izu people, served as the leader of the Hojo Five Elders and the Shimoda people, these four reserves gathered the main combat power of the Hojo family, they were the hammers and steel forks in the hands of the Hojo clan, smashing the enemy's hard shell at the most critical moment, and then dismembering them. (To be continued......)
