Chapter 389: The End of the Hero
On the fifth watch of July 19th, the sky was getting brighter, and the morning glow in the far east seemed to indicate a good weather, and the news of the fall of Washizu and Marune Nitsu came quickly, and Oda Nobunaga called Ohiroma with Saito Guidie, Ikoma Yoshino, and two unmarried sisters, Oda Inu and Oda City.
At this time, Oda Nobunaga's shirt was unbuttoned to reveal a broad and thick chest, dressed as the most common admirer ten years ago, holding a folding fan and dancing to the accompaniment of drum music, and singing in a masculine voice: "Fifty years in the world, compared with heaven and earth, but a small thing, looking at the world is like water, let life once into extinction and then the present, this is the seed of Bodhi, chagrin is full of heart, you will go to Kyoto at this moment, if you see the head of Dun Shengqing, look at the world and the sea and the sky, how can there be immortals?" ”
At that moment, his expression was so calm, Saito Guidie and Ikoma Yoshino couldn't help but burst into tears, the two young sisters were crying with their sister-in-law on their hands, the ignorant babies Wonder Maru, Tea Whisk Pill, and Sanchimaru also cried with their mothers, and the attendants who beat the drums and accompanied them couldn't help but cry in low voices, they understood Oda Nobunaga's determination to fight to the death.
Almost every Samurai from Echizen will dance, and the narrative in the voice of the dead resonates with the living, lamenting the impermanence of the flowering and falling of the world, and the Oda family is naturally familiar with this philosophical music from Echizen, and for the Oda family, this dance is not only ominous but also has a sense of farewell.
At the end of the dance, Oda Nobunaga put on his armor and said goodbye silently under the gaze of his relatives, during which he stood and ate a simple chazuke, just as Nagao Keitora often boasted of his bravery by standing up. In this era, standing up to eat is a bit similar to the meaning of "severed head rice", and after eating this full meal, you do not plan to come back alive, which represents the spirit of seeing death as home, which is also a culture that has been vigorously promoted by samurai society for hundreds of years.
Oda Nobunaga walked out of the main pill without saying a word, and at the same time, the conch sounded in the castle, and the melodious snail woke up the sleeping townspeople in the city, they opened the window and were surprised to find that the lord was heading straight to the outside of the city with more than 200 soldiers, and the Oda samurai walking in the castle town immediately woke up, and slowly put on his armor and carried a spear out of the city to chase the lord's army, no matter how it was a shame to be a samurai to avoid a fight.
It is about ten kilometers from Kiyosu Castle to Atsuta Jingu. One after another, nearby lords discovered that Oda Nobunaga's army was hurrying over. When Oda Nobunaga arrived at Atsuta Shrine, more than 2,000 troops quietly gathered around him and offered prayers to Atsuta Damyojin in Atsuta Shrine to pray for victory.
When it was past noon, the wind and clouds suddenly changed, and the scorching summer turned into dark clouds covering the sun, like a lead-colored curtain covering the sky. Lightning pierced the dark sky, and rumbling thunder came and went. There is not a trace of wind in the dim world. This dreary and oppressive feeling is like the end is imminent.
Gradually dull and hot air with a hint of coldness, it was the outpost of the storm from afar, and after a moment of coolness, there was a sudden thunder and a swift wind and rain. A curtain of rain hung down from the dark sky, and the wind and rain smashed down on the head and face, and the dense rain silk was like a sharp sword connecting the sky, pulling the dark clouds on the edge of the sky and falling straight down.
In just a moment's effort, the boundaries between heaven and earth have long been indistinguishable, the dusky river is like a group of wild horses roaring and scouring the embankments on both sides, the riverbed is rising at a speed that can be argued by the naked eye, and it has risen a lot in just an hour, and the dense rain line obscures the scenery in front of you in a hazy way, and even the samurai on the mount can't distinguish it a little far, and this side of the world seems to be in a boundless water world.
This sudden storm disrupted the rhythm of Imagawa Yoshimoto's march, and the 5,000 sergeants of the Imagawa army's main camp were drenched from top to bottom, the originally solid road turned into a muddy pond, and the marching speed was suddenly reduced to less than five kilometers in an hour.
Imagawa Yoshimoto's majestic outfit instead became a burden that made him miserable, the inner and outer three layers of armor were attached to his body, and the wet cold was unbearable to death, and what was even worse was that the gap in the throat chakra was still pouring cold rain into his neck, and Imagawa Yoshimoto began to regret this reckless action.
Halfway through the march, he didn't go to the village and didn't go to the store, and he wanted to turn around and return to the city and couldn't pull his face, Imagawa Yoshimoto's intestines were really remorseful, and he complained in a low voice in frustration: "After a lot of hard work and marching to the halfway point, I encountered this weather, could it be that my family went out today and met Huang Wanxing?" Phew! What bad luck! But...... Maybe it's better to stay in the city. ”
Remembering the sweltering noon before the rainstorm, he met the old Fujizaemon of Yufukuji Village when he was taking refuge in Yufukuji Temple, and he took the temple shrine gods, monks, and villagers to stop the army on the avenue, and went in to offer Katsukuri Itoto, ten bottles of imperial wine, fifty times of kombu, one bucket of rice cakes, one stone of chestnut cakes, ten shushu boiled in Tang taro, and ten shushu boiled in Tiangan Dagen, and said that these offerings were placed on a flat cart with a white cloth and transported over.
This clever Fujizaemon is also very good at talking, saying that the heat has been hot for several days, Imagawa Miya personally led the army to Luo, and the villagers were overjoyed when they learned about it, and the special gifts, wine and food were not a tribute, and with some of the food offered by the villagers, the Imagawa army rested for nearly an hour in the afternoon before leaving, and as a result, it was hit by a torrential rain.
"If you hadn't delayed those times, maybe my family would have entered Dagao City! But the villagers are very enthusiastic, how can this family, as a famous martial artist, hurt the intention of matching the fists of the people? "Imagawa Yoshimoto has unconsciously classified the peasants of Owari as his own lords, and he can't refuse to accept gifts from the old men of the inn, and refusal is to express dissatisfaction with the obedient attitude of the lords, and the humiliated lords will make trouble to overthrow the lord, so this is also a big taboo as a lord.
The samurai of the Imagawa family finally couldn't bear the pain of the rain, and rushed to the main camp one after another to plead, "My lord! Can we stop and take shelter from the rain and wait for the rain to clear before we travel? It's really painful for the sons and daughters to be one foot deep and one foot shallow in this muddy ground, and the mounts are a little unbearable! ”
Hearing the pleas for help from his retainers, Imagawa Yoshimoto's heart was really happy. In fact, he has long wanted to stop and recuperate, in recent years, his body is not as strong as before, and his slightly blessed body is covered with several layers of armor, and he is sweating and being poured by the cold rain, he is a little worried about whether he will be sick.
As if he didn't care, he caught a glimpse of the bitter faces of a group of old men in the Pudai family, coughed and said slowly: "Hmm! Then stop! First tell my family, where is this place? ”
"Tell the Lord! This place is called the barrel narrow Tian Leping is also known as the Tian Le narrow room, and this place is still three miles away from the big high city! ”
"Barrel Narrow?" Imagawa Yoshimoto was shocked for some reason, and suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, wondering if he was confused by the cold rain. Shaking his head self-deprecatingly, he commanded his attendant, "It's still early. Then wait a while, wait for the rain to lighten before marching, and be sure to reach the Great High City before dark! ”
"Hah!" The samurai of the Imagawa family turned around excitedly to give the order, so that they didn't have to face the storm and hurry.
The barrel narrows are aptly named. On either side are steep mountains sandwiched between narrow and slender valleys in between. The low-lying valley in the middle is called Tianleping. Therefore, the locals also call him Tianle Narrow, the mountains on both sides form two steep slopes between the barrel narrows, and the strange rocks on the mountains are craggy and the ancient trees are green. It is said that there are some strange sayings from the local elders: "The bucket is narrow and the mountain is Leilei, and the bucket is narrow and the sea is like a gushing." ”
Imagawa Yoshimoto chose to camp here is also forced to be helpless, but the heavy rain is like a note, the march is difficult, if you don't camp, it is really difficult to do, but once you camp, you will face a problem, this formation of five thousand longitudinal extension into a long snake formation, this formation is very good to march but there is also a risk of being divided and surrounded.
Seeing this terrain, Imagawa Yoshimoto's heart suddenly chuckled, and subconsciously felt that this was a very unsafe place, the rain and fog covered the surrounding scenery in a hazy and hazy way, and the shadows could see the mountains full of strange rocks and old pines, fortunately, there was a dense pine forest in this Tianleping to shelter from the rain.
Taking advantage of the camping stalls, the soldiers rushed to hide under the trees, the hot and humid temperature was really uncomfortable, the samurai threw down their spears and knives, untied their wet armor and hung their close-fitting shirts on the branches to dry, and the most elite archers and arrows from the distant river were like plagued chickens, hanging their heads and hiding under the ancient pine of the forest in a daze.
Matsui Sonobu pulled the sleeves of his wet coat and complained with a sad face: "What the hell is going on today, the front foot left Junfu and encountered the scorching sun that was so hot that it was faint for a few days, our sons and daughters rushed desperately against the scorching sun, and five or six blood blisters were grinding out on their feet, and today we encountered this unlucky rainstorm, this god really doesn't give us a chance to rest and breathe!" ”
Jing Yi Naomori sighed and sighed: "Who said it wasn't! The bowstrings are soft when this rain falls, don't even think about pulling the big bow for three or five days, even if you barely bend the bow, the arrow can't fly, and if you continue like this, the battle achievements in the next few days have nothing to do with us, and you can only rest in Dagao City for a few days...... I thought I could follow the Lord to get a face-to-face feat, but I didn't want to encounter this experience, it's really annoying! ”
The Sekiguchi clan, who served as the head of the Jing family, said with a smile: "Actually, it's not quite! Shinano Mamoru's daughter is now the adopted daughter of the lord and the side room of the town lord, and it is said that Princess Ii has been happy recently? That's a great thing! In the future, Shinano will keep the temple without worrying about not being reused! ”
"That's it! Shinano Moriden really gave birth to a good daughter! Being able to be looked at by the town government is really a blessing accumulated over generations, but it's a pity that my daughter's daughter got married early! Otherwise......"
"Or do you want to be stained with the light of the town government? Ha ha! You old boy don't look at your bear-like, your daughter and I haven't seen it, you're not polite to say that at most, it's a middle-aged person, where is the princess of the Jingyi family born beautiful! Hahaha......"
The samurai quarreled with each other, and some greedy samurai took out their own rice balls to eat two, and at noon, where was the food of the labor army enough for the strength of the five thousand troops, and those chestnut cakes and taro were thrown into the cauldron and put on the grains to stew a pot of gruel together, and each person drank a small bowl without feeling at all.
The storm fell for half an hour, and finally there was a gradual decreasing trend, Imagawa Yoshimoto hid in the simple camp tent and looked at the rain curtain frowning and pondering, the clothes on his body were taken off and dried by the bonfire, fortunately, he still had a lot of spare clothes, so he didn't sit shirtless, and the little surnames were busy setting up a cauldron to boil hot water, and they were worried about getting sick after a rainstorm. A simple freshen up and bath is still necessary.
"I always feel that something is wrong, what is wrong?" Imagawa Yoshimoto stared at the map a little distracted, it is said that he had given up the main road of Tokai Street to go around a big circle, and instead took the mountain road to approach the Otaka Castle adjacent to the shore as soon as possible, but what could go wrong always made him feel uneasy.
"It shouldn't be wrong to have a few troops nearby, but why does the family always feel wrong, is it because this bucket makes me feel uncomfortable? You should also rush to Dagao City as soon as possible! This uneasiness made him sit still, and he summoned the little surname to scrub him casually for a few times, and then hurriedly changed into dried armor, ready to gather the samurai and move on.
Just when Yoshimoto Imagawa was busy in the tent. Countless figures appeared on the top of the hill near the barrel narrow. Looking at the shadowy flags under the mountain through the thick rain curtain, Oda Nobunaga was really in an indescribable mood, holding the sword tightly and pulling it out violently, pointing at the Imagawa army below without a formation, and shouted: "I'll wait for the Owari samurai's martial arts to be sent at this moment, and everyone will obey the order!" With the home assault! ”
Oda Nobunaga was the first to rush down the hill. I don't know if it's blessed by God and Buddha. More than 2,000 people rushed down the steep and slippery hillside, but there was no stumbling and rolling as expected. At this moment, the wind and rain were their best cover, lightning and thunder shielded them from the sound of hurried footsteps, and a thick rain curtain blocked the sight of the Imagawa army. By the time the 2,000 troops rushed to the Imagawa army by the tailwind blowing from the sea, the momentum was already gone.
The unsuspecting Imagawa army was stunned by the sudden military momentum, and they didn't understand where these people came from. Seeing the familiar papaya pattern, I immediately realized that this was the military strength of the Oda family, but how did they get here?
The rain helped the Oda family to avoid the layers of Imagawa troops nearby, and the torrential rain and rolling thunder drowned out all sounds, and it was precisely because of this heavy rain that the Imagawa troops near the barrel sama either hid in the shade of a tree to avoid the rain, or stayed in the camp and waited for the rain to clear, not expecting that anyone would pass them in this bad weather.
The 5,000 main formations of the Imagawa army are all the main reserves of Suruga Toe, not that Imagawa Yoshimoto believes but Mikawa samurai, but it is really too many Imagawa genealogies of Suruga Toe, and has been using the military strength of these two countries for decades, as his own people have long been handy, Mikawa's samurai are also happy to hide in the distance and not show their faces, for example, Kira Yoshiyasu stayed in the castle to guard the rear, he didn't think that his loose military strategy could make any achievements, and it was also a merit to stay in the rear to sort out military affairs and manage grain and grass.
In order to dry the muddy water on their bodies, they simply took off their armor, untied the reins of their horses, threw their swords and spears aside, hung their bows and arrows on pine branches, and hid in the dense woods to avoid the rain.
When they saw the surprise attack of the Oda army, there was no time to react more, and many samurai didn't even know where their armor and weapons were thrown, and the ashigaru people panicked and put on the carcass and picked up three guns and rushed into the rain curtain, but the unorganized Ashigaru could not stop the attack of the Oda army at all, and a little weak resistance was annihilated in the torrential rain.
When Yoshimoto Kawa heard that he had been attacked, his body shook and almost fell, and he struggled to stand in the camp tent and looked at the banner in front of the camp, and scolded: "It's all a bunch of waste!" The nets cast by the family were all leaked by him, this is Oda Nobunaga's main camp! How did he get here? Didn't Arao Zenji say that Oda Nobunaga was still sighing in Kiyoshu? So how did he get here! This radius of more than ten miles is the military strength of my Imagawa family, why can he still kill him! What the hell is going on! Where is the army of this family, and where is the general? ”
The army in this formation is too small, and the elders can only hold the sword and spear and are forced to block the wolf-like Oda army, Imagawa Yoshimoto's brother-in-law, the former lord of the castle, Asai Koshiro Masatoshi, hurriedly came to support him, and persuaded bitterly: "Lord! The troops in this formation are all hiding in the woods to avoid the rain, and there are only 300 horses and warriors in the big camp! Please get on the horse quickly, and I'll wait for a while before making a decision! ”
"Is there only so many people! Then there is only one way to avoid the edge! Retreat now! Seeing that the situation was not good, Imagawa Yoshimoto hurriedly rushed out of the big tent, he is not a fool, of course he can distinguish the weight.
Now if he doesn't run into the hands of the Oda family, he will either be killed on the spot, or he will die a humiliating death after being captured, but he will keep a useful body to revitalize the great cause of the Imagawa family, and his good son Imagawa really still has a lot of things to learn, even if the war is ultimately lost. As long as he can escape back and have a chance to make a comeback, where can he die here casually.
Imagawa Yoshimoto's physical strength, although the body is not as good as more than ten years ago, but there is no problem in wearing several layers of armor to turn over and get on the horse, more than half of the three hundred horses are fighting in front of the camp under the leadership of the elders of the spectrum family, not the fallen corpse or the relatives and confidants he is familiar with, this is the essence of the Imagawa family.
He knew very well that these genealogy families had accumulated the heritage of the Imagawa family for hundreds of years, and it was very likely that he would die in this battle, so he was reluctant to leave for a long time, and Asai Masatoshi saw that he was not leaving. Anxiously knelt in the muddy ground and persuaded loudly: "My lord, please leave quickly!" Here's what I'm waiting for you to cut off. I, Zhengmin, respectfully ask the lord to leave quickly! ”
“…… This is all the hard work of my Imagawa clan for many years! It's just hateful! This family is leaving, this is leaving...... Koshiro! The family hopes that you can return to Junfu alive, and then the family will hold a grand celebration banquet for you and the soldiers who are still alive! This family goes, too! Imagawa Yoshimoto glanced deeply at Asai Masatoshi. Surrounded by a crowd of fifty horsemen, he quickly left.
"My lord! I, Koshiro Asai, was born to be a samurai of the Imagawa clan. Even if I went to Huangquan Hirazaka. I don't regret it! Asai Masatoshi knelt in the puddle and looked at the disappearing figure, and bowed respectfully.
Then he stood up and drew his sword, facing the dozens of horseback warriors of the Oda family who rode on the red armor. yelled, "Even if you die here! I have no regrets waiting! In order to repay the lord's kindness, Masatoshi Asai Koshiro of the Imagawa family came to take your life! ”
"Imagawa family Ishihara Yasumori, Gao Li is serious, Miura Yoshiki will come to take your life!" Several brave Imagawa samurai wielded swords and charged to the death against the ferocious samurai on horseback, their eyes filled with paranoia and madness, and death had long been put on the sidelines.
The staggered men and horses were only in a short moment, and the next moment the blood burst out, and several galloping figures lost their balance and fell out heavily, Asai Masatoshi covered the broken throat chakra, trying to block the blood gushing out of his neck, his body leaned on the knife and gasped hard, every breath would spray out dripping blood stains, Asai Masatoshi closed his eyes in despair, and roared with difficulty: "I don't regret being a samurai of the Imagawa family in this life!" Lord! I'm going to Koshiro Asai too! ”
Quietly watching a life disappear, dozens of horseback warriors reined in the war horses and were silent, the horseback warriors led by the horse were tall and burly, gently raised their right hand and said that the big body gun was raised flat, and let the blood stains on the blade of the gun be washed away by the rain that gradually turned smaller, and then slowly said: "Enemy general!" Koshiro Masatoshi Asai was taken by my Maeda Maemon Toshiya! ”
Imagawa Yoshimoto rode his horse at a gallop, at this time he couldn't care about missing his good brother-in-law Asai Masatoshi, the mountain road leading to the castle was full of Imagawa family's rout, the ghost knows why these soldiers chose to flee at this time, and he didn't care to scold these retreating soldiers, and walked around under the drive of the Imagawa family's horses.
"Bastard! It wasn't so difficult to walk when I first came, why is it so troublesome now! "The slope of the hill was not steep, but the slippery mud was too fast to rise, and the speed of the horses could only be described as walking, and the samurai of the Oda Army, who were closely pursuing behind, turned over one by one and dismounted and dismounted on foot.
Imasaki found that these Oda army mothers who were chasing on foot were very strong, and they were much faster than him on their mounts, so he couldn't help but panic, hurriedly abandoned his mount, Qingku, and struggled on the muddy road with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
This is a contest of endurance and perseverance, although Imagawa Yoshimoto does not have the legendary love to paint black teeth and pluck eyebrows, fat as a pig, and can only ride a sedan chair so perverted, but after all, he has reached middle age and inevitably becomes more and more wealthy, and he is in his forties to be a domestic governor, but he is in the prime of life, but he is a few grades worse than his youth and strength during the Hanakura Rebellion twenty years ago.
The most intense exercise is to ride a horse, bend a bow and shoot arrows, and the long-term comfortable life makes him lack the necessary physical strength for long-distance marches, and he wears richly decorated but very heavy armor, and he is out of breath and unable to walk after trekking on the mountain road for a quarter of an hour.
The Imagawa family's horse warriors saw that they couldn't do it, and hurriedly divided most of the main forces to break off, leaving only five or six generals to escort Imagawa Yoshimoto to escape, but how did Imagawa Yoshimoto still run, he was not the mother clothes carefully cultivated by Oda Nobunaga, and one by one followed Oda Nobunaga to go down to the field and swim in the river, and went up the mountain to hunt in winter, like wild children in the mountains running fast.
Matsui Munenobu, the lord of Toe Fumata Castle, was his confidant general. helped Imagawa Yoshimoto to walk the last journey, and then respectfully knelt on the ground and bowed his head and said: "The lord, please leave quickly, I will wait for the lord to buy time!" Please Lord Gong must return to the city alive, as long as the Lord can go back alive, even if I die here, I will have no regrets! ”
"Gorouba! I didn't expect us to have a farewell day! Alas! My family is wrong! ”
Imagawa Yoshimoto helped Matsui Munobu to stand up, looking at this forty-four-year-old strong man, the bitter taste in his heart was indescribable, he represented a large number of experienced generals, even if the military strategy is not enough to be the general of the banner, but the command ability and personal martial arts of the enemy are very excellent talents. But to cover his escape, he died here in vain. Imagawa Yoshimoto's heart is really mixed, with both hatred and remorse.
"My lord! Without further ado, let's get started! Everything we do is for the Imagawa family, please leave immediately! ”
"Please let the Lord go!" The five samurai behind Matsui said in unison.
The only five remaining samurai Imagawa Yoshimoto all knew. They are Ejiri kinji, Tominaga Shigeru, Nagase Nagayuki, Okazaki Tadashimi, and Kanai Tadamune. These people are all loyal and brave generals of the Imagawa family, but they have to be here. In this tragic form, I said goodbye to the governor of the Imagawa family.
Thinking that the prosperity of the Imagawa family was just yesterday, but today has become such a miserable situation in just a few hours, Imagawa Yoshimoto's heart turned a thousand times and couldn't help but burst into tears. He stepped forward and slapped their arms heavily, then turned around and carried the six warriors on his back, and shouted, "Gentlemen! Please take care! ”
The six people of the Imagawa family who were determined to die looked at the figure of Imagawa Yoshimoto leaving in embarrassment, and shouted: "Lord! Please take care! For the sake of the lord, even if you die, you won't regret it! ”
Imagawa Yoshimoto did not look back and did not want to turn back, he could not live up to the trust of the loyal and brave retainers, even if he knew that there was little hope, he gritted his teeth and persevered, he was trying to race against time, over a mountain beam and saw a group of Imagawa family rout soldiers were slowly retreating, he tried to catch up, but these rout soldiers seemed to be scared away from the courage, seeing the samurai wearing gorgeous armor stumbling over, and actually fled to the east without his life.
Imagawa Yoshimoto's spirit was hit hard, and he didn't understand why his military might not come to protect him, wasn't he good enough for the Ashigaru people of Suruga Toe? Don't they know that the only person wearing this set of armor is the chief general, Yoshimoto Imagawa? After a long time, he laughed at himself: "Maybe they understand all this, so they deliberately don't want to lean over!" This family is just a dying person, and only those loyal servants of this family will die for the dying person! When all the loyal ministers are dead, naturally no one wants to die for their family. ”
Thinking about all this, Imagawa Yoshimoto's steps gradually faltered, and there was still a long way to go from the castle, but he no longer had the strength to continue walking, and suddenly there was a sound of footsteps behind him, Imagawa Yoshimoto turned his head to look over, but found that the mother clothes of the Oda army had surrounded him, and the last moment of the world-famous Tokaido first bow was coming.
The rain has stopped unconsciously, a cool sea breeze mixed with a familiar breath blows away the thick dark clouds, revealing a brilliant and beautiful sunset on the horizon, when the first ray of sunlight falls on his body, Imagawa Yoshimoto leans in front of a dead tree with the left text of Sozo in his hand, and sighs: "But I don't want my Imagawa Yoshimoto to also have this today, Xue Zhai!" If you don't die, why bother to lead the army out of the battle, if you don't die, how can you come to the barrel narrow room to be defeated, if you don't die, the family will not fall into the humiliating situation of dying here, this is the fate of the gods and Buddhas! This is my Imagawa Yoshimoto's last period! ”
No one listened to his exclamation, only the crows perched on the dead trees looked at the samurai under the trees, Imagawa Yoshimoto sat up straight and glanced coldly at the Oda army gradually coming in, and then saw a few cowering Imagawa ashigaru running away secretly, and couldn't help but sigh in frustration: "This is the Suruga strong army of my family, this is the glory of my Imagawa family, so may!" Let's leave the last sentence of death! The glitz of the world is like flowing water, the clouds and smoke of the past are finally dreams, and the horses have been around for 40 years, leaving them prosperous for future generations. ”
Imagawa Yoshimoto is still dead, he didn't choose to kill with a cowardly neck, and he didn't have time to calmly choose to commit suicide by seppuku, he only had time to pull out his beloved treasure sword sect Sanzuo text given to him by his father-in-law Takeda Shintora and beheaded several people in the Oda Army's mother's clothes, but there were too many samurai in the Oda Army, even if he had the treasure armor to protect his body, he couldn't hold out for a long time.
The long-term vigorous running made his physical strength seriously overdrawn, and after killing several people in a row, he staggered a few steps and retreated to the dead tree and gasped violently, but the Oda Army's mothers did not give up the pursuit, and under the great stimulation and temptation of a skill, the Oda Army's mothers and clothes were all sacrificing their lives to charge, even if they were not afraid to kill a few of their comrades.
The first samurai to rush in front of Imagawa Yoshimoto was named Hattori Kohei Taichi Tada, he held a spear and stabbed the slow Imagawa Yoshimoto to the ground, but Imagawa Yoshimoto swung the Sozo left text and slashed Hattori Koheira's thigh with a knife, and the two rolled on the hillside and fought, even if Hattori Kodaira was too young and strong, he couldn't take Imagawa Yoshimoto who had been crisscrossing the East China Sea for more than 20 years.
Mori Shinsuke Yoshikatsu, who rushed over, suddenly shot and stabbed Imagawa Yoshimoto in the abdomen, just as Mori Shinsuke was about to cut off his head, Imagawa Yoshimoto suddenly broke free of Hattori Koheita's suppression, and slammed on Mori Shinsuke and bit his hand, actually biting off one of his fingers.
Imagawa Yoshimoto's head was finally cut off by Mori Shinsuke Yoshikatsu, who lived up to the name of Suruga Hero and did not humiliate the many loyal and brave samurai who died for him, and did not give up until the last moment, and did not give up his persistent attachment to the Imagawa family. (To be continued......)
PS: Many novels have described the barrel saga, and Ume thinks it's a bit boring to write about the Demon King, so let's interpret Suruga Hero! Anyway, he has also been hacked for hundreds of years, and "Nobunaga Gongji" never said that he was a big fat man who could only ride a sedan chair, but mentioned that he escaped on horseback, and the last battle showed a very samurai momentum, which was really hacked badly.
