------------
This side Sakuma University has come to an extraordinary performance.
Wielding the daitai sword in his hand, he led four hundred ashigaru armed with spears, shouting and striking at Matsudaira Motoyasu's troops and launching a fierce counterattack.
This counterattack of Sakuma University stunned and killed 2,500 people of Matsudaira Motoyasu, and killed Imagawa Yoshimoto, a white-faced urn, who swallowed 10,000 mosquitoes.
Imagawa Yoshimoto endured the stomach juice that was rolling up and down and fighting mosquitoes, and with a big hand, Horikoshi Yoshihisa and Uden Nagatoru two people, each led 5,000 and 3,000 Ashigaru, a total of 8,000 troops, and ran over to support Matsudaira Motoyasu.
Looking at the two military formations that rushed over like a honeycomb in the distance, it was Sakuma University's turn to be dumbfounded. He only has 400 ashigaru, and these 400 people are against 10,000 and 500 ashigaru, and it seems that at least twenty-six people will be hacked to death by one person!
As a result, after leaving a cruel word to Matsudaira Motoyasu, he ran away decisively!
"Report, Matsudaira Motoyasu-sama's troops, supported by Horikoshi Yoshihisa and Uden Nagatoru, have successfully broken through Marone Castle, Sakuma University led the army to flee, and His Royal Highness Matsudaira Motoyasu asked whether the main hall should be pursued, or go to Odakajo Castle as originally planned."
Just as Yoshimoto Imasawa finally subdued the mosquitoes in his stomach and finished a hearty breakfast, a herald came to report.
This news made Imagawa Yoshimoto, a white-faced urn, suddenly feel relaxed and refreshed.
He happily ordered his little victory, dressed him in heavy and ornate armor that was impenetrable from top to bottom, and wore fine leather combat boots that were tightly covered on his feet.
This set of armor was specially customized by him for Shangluo, which is not only full of the princess's pursuit of gorgeousness, but also embodies the samurai's art of war.
The only fly in the ointment is that after this suit of armor is worn on the body, it is really hot and unbearable. Especially Imagawa Yoshimoto, a fat man with a figure like a big urn, was already sweating like rain when he wore it less than a moment ago.
However, with the first good news from Matsudaira Motoyasu, Imagawa Yoshimoto suddenly felt that no matter how hot it was, it was worth it.
Not long after he sat on a large chair carried by 16 people and led his 30,000 head offices to Ashigaru, he met a group of townspeople from Mikawa Province who came to offer their condolences in the name of "salutes".
The so-called "rites" refer to the local townspeople, who were afraid to bring out their own food, meat, and local products when they saw other lords coming to fight against their lords, and to pay homage to and curry favor with the new lords.
After all, in this troubled world, they, the common people, have no status, no culture, and no knowledge, and they are deeply afraid that the lord of the lord, who is the superior, will offend them because of their disrespect.
For the Daimyo, the "Rite" in the troubled times of the Warring States Period, but it represents the best performance of getting the righteousness of the world and being subdued and recognized, and treating the "Rite" well will give him a good reputation of loving the people.
Therefore, every Shangluo daimyo will not and cannot refuse the kindness of these "rites".
Imagawa Yoshimoto was no exception, and his army suddenly stopped after seeing this group of "salutes". And Imagawa Yoshimoto himself also stood up from the chair of the sixteen people and thanked the "salute bearer" who was the leader.
At the same time, he also promised this group of "rites" that he would definitely rescue them from their miserable lives, and would never abuse the townspeople and reassure everyone.
The number of this group of "salutes" is not small, at least more than 100 people, and now Chuan Yoshiyuan has finished thanking one by one, and the army has set off again, and it has been an hour.
At this time, the second piece of good news came, Oda Nobunpei, who was stationed at Washizu Castle, finally fled after two hours of onslaught on Hikina Taino, and Washizu Castle had fallen into the hands of the Imagawa family.
This good news made Imagawa Yoshimoto even more happy, and his mouth was full of admiration for Asahinata, and the morale of the army was even higher.
Two good news in a row made Imagawa Yoshimoto's nose forty-five degrees high to the sky, and he felt pleasing to the eye when he looked at everything, and the heat on his body seemed to be not so hot.
Well, it's good to ignore the puddle of water (sweat) under the recliner.
Similarly, because of these two pieces of good news, Imagawa Yoshimoto completely forgot the military strategy he had set at Okazaki Castle.
Matsudaira Motoyasu's 2,500 Mikawa samurai did not go to Dataka Castle to garrison after breaking through Marone Castle as originally planned, but pursued Sakuma University who had fled.
As for Horikoshi Yoshihisa and Uden Nagatorio, because of Imagawa Yoshimoto's joy, they also deviated from the original battle plan, and did not march towards Cheongshu Castle, but went straight to Tange Castle and Zenshoji Castle.
At this moment, Imagawa Yoshimoto's original plan to divide his troops into three routes and approach Qingzhou City was a complete failure.
However, Imagawa Yoshimoto didn't care about it anymore.
In just two hours, Owari Province lost the two cities at the front.
Therefore, even if he does not divide his troops into three routes, and only relies on his own 30,000-foot light army, presumably the destruction of the Oda family in Owari Province will still be a sure thing.
It was this idea that made Imagawa Yoshimoto have the idea of destroying five front-line cities in a row, and then attacking Owari Province in one fell swoop and joining Cheongshu Castle.
After bidding farewell to the "salute holders", he led the army of his headquarters, intending to follow the streets of Kamakura, climb the Mt. Tsukasama, and attack Cheongju Castle to the west.
Unexpectedly, when his army was walking along a place called "Tian Le Yao" near the front hill of Prince Root in the Barrel Sasama Mountains, the army stopped again.
One of the sections of the Tarakuma is called the Taraku-sama, and because this mountain road is the only slender valley in the entire Barrel-Sasama Mountains, it is also called the Barrel Narrow-room.
Imagawa Yoshimoto led the way forward half-lying on a large chaise longue, and as sixteen people walked, the large chaise longue swayed, making Imagawa Yoshimoto sleepy and drowsy.
"Think about it day and dream night when you have it!" There is some truth in this sentence, Imagawa Yoshimoto is now in Shangluozhong, and as long as he succeeds in achieving his ambitions, he will be the first person below the emperor.
As a result, when he fell asleep on the big recliner, what he saw in his dream was, of course, the scene of himself standing on top of 10,000 people, and hundreds of civil and military officials came to congratulate him.
Fortunately, he still had the last trace of martial intuition, and this dream of his, the moment his army stopped, suddenly woke up, so that he did not make a fuss, "The army has stopped, and the lord is still in a dream!" "Jokes.
"Report, Horikoshi Yoshihisa and Uden Nagatoru have broken through Zenshoji Castle and Tange Castle respectively, and successfully defeated the four defenders Mizuno Tadamitsu, Yamaguchi Umilao, Sakuma Nobumori, and Sakuma Nobutsun."
It turned out that the reason why the army stopped this time was because of the five front-line cities arranged by the violent overage pseudo-Lori, four of which had fallen, and only Nakajima City was still fighting alone.
"Oh, there's only one city left, haha, the Oda family is just a small shrimp. Wahahahaha......" When he said to the end, he couldn't help laughing, and several elders and important ministers of his family around him laughed and agreed.
"Horikoshi Yoshihisa and Uden Chozhao are attacking Nakajima Castle right now, right?" Imagawa Yoshimoto laughed and continued to ask the herald.
"Haha, okay, tell the two of them that after the fall of Nakajima City, the whole army will go straight up to attack Cheongju City. Nakono Castle and Suemori Castle south of Kiyoshu Castle, ignore them for now, I'm going to beat Owari Province first. Imagawa Yoshimoto laughed out loud when he received the herald's affirmative answer.
A group of elders and important ministers of the family also said that "the palace is mighty!" Something like that, mocking the weakness of Owari Kuni.
However, Imagawa Yoshimoto was apparently carried away by three consecutive joys and forgot to ask one thing. Horikoshi Yoshihisa and Uden Nagazhao have a combined army of 8,000, and they really need so many troops to attack a Nakajima city? Something can't be wrong, right?
Let's not talk about whether there will be a problem, but let's continue to talk about the situation of Imagawa Yoshimoto's main soldiers.
At this time, the sky suddenly began to darken, and a light rain began to fall in the air, and gradually began to turn into a downpour.
As we all know, rain is definitely not a favorable weather for marching and fighting.
The mountain passages during the Warring States period were all muddy land, and when they were washed by the rain, they immediately turned into pasty waterfalls, which were far from being as convenient to walk as the asphalt roads and brick forest roads in Wang Tianxi's previous life.
In particular, the rain poured out suddenly, without any warning at all, and the rain was very powerful, and the drops of rain were densely connected into silk threads, circling and rolling in the wind.
When Imasaki asked Masatoshi Asakawa, the head of his guard banner, where the army was now, Imagawa Yoshimoto's answer surprised Imagawa Yoshimoto.
Now we must talk about the geographical location of Imagawa Yoshimoto's main camp.
The place where Imagawa Yoshimoto is now located is called "Taraku-ku", which is located near the front hill of Tai-kane, and is a rocky mountain with a slight slope of more than 30 degrees on the left, and a dense cliff forest on the right.
The trail is wide enough for seven or eight people to walk side by side, but it's definitely not an ideal place to rest. Especially in this place, if you want an army of 30,000 people to build a stove to cook rice, then you don't have to expect it.
In the entire Tianle area, only one terrain is relatively wide, and there are long valleys of slightly sloping rocky mountains on both sides, which is the only way to climb over the barrel narrow mountain range. At the same time, this valley is the only one that can provide terrain for large armies to camp and organize.
Therefore, after asking Asagawa Masatoshi, Imokawa Yoshimoto looked up at the rain that was cloudy and more waterfall than the waterfall, and decisively ordered the army to drive to the valley called "Tarakusasa", also known as "Barrel Sasa", and prepare to camp and rest, and wait for the rain to stop for a while before marching again.
