Five reserve troops of 10,000 troops, like a group of wolves hungry for several months, swarmed when they smelled the fishy smell, and defeated the 15,000 Ueno national army at the top, and retreated a little slower by the five-color reserve to be bitten and chased and beaten fiercely, and the national army from all walks of life desperately gathered in the middle, and the faster they ran, the more they discarded, and some samurai simply pulled their own teams to drill into the mountains and forests to the west, this is not a retreat, this is an escape.

More and more small and medium-sized people were abandoned by their companions, and they were soon divided and surrounded by the five-colored samurai, and the blue and white flags dangled like marquees, and these poor people had only one choice, surrender before the butcher's knife of the Hojo army was raised, and the other option that was not a choice was to wait for death in despair.

How many samurai are eager to run desperately on four legs, for fear that if they run slowly, they will be divided and surrounded, and the disorderly retreat makes the army rush to the outside of the camp and huddle together, no one is willing to let the other party advance the area, if it is not for the Hojo army behind to kill at any time, these countrymen and nobles will draw their swords against each other, and the situation of the war has fallen to the Hojo army from the beginning.

The front line of the wild people who lost their strong command was like a pot of porridge, Nagano Ye personally led twelve sons-in-law to lead the army to support the retreating friendly troops, and the upper formation of the retreating friendly army collapsed, and the Shangshu yellow spot saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly ordered all the samurai who were implicated to restore the command.

Nagano and his sons-in-law were also barricaded outside the camp, and no amount of scolding could suppress the fear of the people of Ueno, and this time he finally realized what a serious mistake he had made, and even if he restored the command of those samurai who could fight well, it would not help to see a group of stupid commanders like pigs. Command an invincible army into a flock of lambs to the slaughter. The old samurai had only remorse and desolation in his heart.

"Quick! Ask for help from the main hall of Nagatailan! ”

……

An envoy broke into the camp. Hurriedly turned over and dismounted and swept into the camp tent to report: "The Hojo Army's five-color preparation launched a surprise attack on the Ueno coalition army, the Ueno National People's Army was shaken, and Nagano Shinano was unable to hold bullets, so I asked our army for support!" ”

"What's going on?"

"Your Majesty doesn't know, but I just learned that the Ueno National People's Army is very chaotic, and according to the rumors of the soldiers, it seems that it is because Nagano Shinano Mamoru is unfairly punished."

Naoe Keixuna was very angry, to be honest, he hated the people of Ueno very much, just like he hated the Yangbei people and Echigo Uesugi people back then. The mountain of the Chinese people is a knot that cannot be solved, and the petty sloppiness between the people is too lazy to mention, but as a retainer, there are some things that are too much to say.

"Lord, we have to try to rescue the Ueno National People's Army, we don't expect them to exert much strength, but at least we can't collapse all at once, if they collapse, this battle will be difficult to fight! And the Einsatzgruppen must be eradicated as soon as possible! ”

The long-tailed Jinghu waved his hand and sneered: "Divide the troops? No way! The main force of the family just fell into the strategy of the Hojo clan! The Hojo family will definitely use the numerical advantage to divide and surround my long-tail army little by little, and finally eat it in one bite, but I didn't expect Hojo Shiyasu to spend so much effort to deal with his family. It's really 'well-intentioned'! ”

Naoe Jinggang was choked and speechless for a long time, and his own lord was still in the mood to mock Hojo Shiyasu. made him feel dizzy, knowing that the lord was not the kind of unobtrusive governor, and patiently continued to persuade: "Then we have to try to save it, we don't do anything and fall for the Hojo family's trick!" ”

Yamamoto Temple Dingchang said disappreciatively: "What are you afraid of! My Echigo army hasn't exerted its strength yet, as long as I attack with all my strength and defeat them in one fell swoop! The Ueno National People's Army is so unhelpful, it's better for them to suffer. ”

"Oops! Iyomori, you're confused! As soon as the way back is broken, our army will also be shaken, and it will be too late to regret it by then! Please send troops to intercept this Einsatzgruppen immediately! ”

"This family is saved, this time it is still too careless...... Let Nagano Shinano hold on, and the family will come later! Nagao Keitora snorted and had to admit that he had despised Hojo Shiyasu, and he was paying the price for his carelessness.

In recent years, Echigo's smooth sailing foreign wars have been victorious, so that Echigo's samurai have fallen into optimism from top to bottom, this deformed mentality has gradually bred with the continuous use of foreign troops, fighting for the samurai of Echigo is a platform for making money and making merits, the bloodshed of the war seems to be infinitely diluted, and no one wants to pour cold water on the fun, even the long-tailed Jinghu is no different.

In recent years, self-cultivation and learning cultural knowledge, gradually cultivating the temperament more peacefully, the sense of power is not as strong as before, and the military strategy is forgotten in the corner, last year's Hojo was quite smooth to take down, it is inevitable that it will breed arrogance, this accident can be described as a basin of cold water, pouring his internal organs through the cold.

The arrogant soldiers will defeat the ancient righteousness, and the pride in his heart dissipated nearly half, Nagao Jinghu got up and ordered the formation to move down the mountain, and the Ueno Kuniren coalition was beaten by a set of combination punches of the Hojo clan Yasu, and as an ally, they can't see death without help, and it is difficult to get out of the Nagao family if they don't save them.

Thousands of meters away from the high mountain, the Hojo Army is located in a temporary main formation, Hojo Shiyasu sat on the bed table (Maza) and stroked the military in his hand and was stunned, Izu Zhong Pen, Hojo Gojuku old stone roll Shimono Shou Jia Zhen said with a radiant expression: "The Lord God's clever plan to break the Ueno Army, the sound of the east and west to tease the Long Tail Army dare not be distracted to rescue, it is really the world Kong Mingye!" ”

"What's wrong with me? Why are you so upset? Am I missing something? Impossible! Hojo Shiyasu pressed the doubts in his heart, cheered up and smiled: "This is all the credit of the monarchs, the family is not as good as a few generations in terms of government affairs, and the military is not as good as Sun Jiulang, but he knows the truth that if he listens to it, he will believe it in the dark, and make the right decision at the right time." ”

Suddenly, there was a rumbling sound of military taiko drums from afar, and the Hojo retainers in this formation listened attentively, and after a while, there was a low sound of conch, and several Hojo family retainers frowned and said, "Why are you beating the taiko drum and blowing the conch again?" Didn't you knock before the war? ”

Matsuda Sukerokuro Yasunaga felt that something was not right, and after thinking and meditating for a long time, he suddenly had an idea: "Could it be that the Nagao Army has an action in this formation?" Long-tailed Jinghu is going to go out? ”

The rest of the spectrum closed their mouths and looked at Matsuda Morihide with their eyes, as if to say that it was your little nephew, you can do it yourself, and we won't dismantle your stage. Lao Shengxiu was also helpless, so he could only shake his head and smile: "It's too late to intercept the Einsatzgruppen now." What's more, how can the general leave his own camp to pursue a special team. With the wisdom of Nagao Jinghu, he will not be able to see this, and he will wait and say what problems Sukerokuro has during the military meeting. ”

"Uncle said it makes sense! The little nephew was taught. Matsuda Yasunaga tilted his head to think about it, he served as the head of Hojo Ma's pen for less than half a year, and his experience was far worse than that of these old genealogy, so he accidentally made a taboo just now, and hurriedly cast an apologetic look.

Time passed minute by minute, and the Hojo retainers waited patiently for the battle report from the front, and Hojo Tsusunari led the five-color preparation to play a triumphant song all the way. Cutting the two wings of the Ueno coalition army to pieces, Nagano Ye was holding the camp gate with Nagano's eleven guns and twelve sons-in-law, trying to turn the tide by himself.

The war was extremely fierce, a camp gate changed hands and the corpses that died in front of the camp gate filled every inch of the gap, Nagano Ye relied on this "flesh and blood gate" to temporarily block the attack, Hojo Tsunashi saw that the situation was not good, temporarily pressed the offensive, turned the direction to hunt down the fleeing Ueno people.

The people of Higashiueno who were stationed at the northern foot of the high mountain were packing up, and the earliest ones prepared by Ryoshi Shigeru were the fastest, and hundreds of ashigaru stood outside the camp early and were ready to go. Looking at their strict appearance and awe-inspiring momentum, at first glance they look like warriors who are about to rush to the battlefield. In fact, they were deserters who were about to run away.

Kiryu Suketsuna has been slowly packing up his belongings, and even the tent has to be taken away, and the mountain is sweating profusely for a long time, and he runs over to urge: "Alas! Don't clean up the Gang Palace, let's give up all these small and miscellaneous things! It's time to run for your life! ”

"No! It's not easy for us to work hard to save some money, and I'm sorry for my family after all, so I'll clean it up right away. Kiryu Sutsuna seemed to be enchanted and had to put all the bottles and cans into it, and Yamagami was angry like a toad, running outside the camp and panting.

More than a dozen people from Yura Nari's department were sweating under the scorching sun, and they were a little unhappy when they saw that there was still no movement in the camp, and the whispered discussion slowly turned into a loud noise, Harada Yazaburo was worried that these local tyrants would anger Yura Chengshi, and complained: "What are Kiryu and the samurai of the mountain family rubbing?" ”

"Wait another quarter of an hour, and we'll leave if we don't come out yet!" Although Yura Chengzhu has no other expression on the surface, in fact, he has already scolded in his heart, but the helpless thing is that the personal relationship between the Yamagami Teruhisa family and Kiryu Suke Tsunade is very close, and Kiryu Suke Tsuna's skills are also very powerful, ranking in the forefront of the people of the East Ueno Country, not much worse than Yuliang Naru.

And Kiryu Suke Tsuna's origin is not small, his biological father is Sano Hidetsuna, a mountain castle in Karasawa of Shimono Country, and Kiryu Zhenzuna who succeeded to the same clan as an adopted son, the former governor of the Sano clan, Sano Taitsuna, is his brother, and the current head of the Sano family, Sano Toyotsuna, is his own nephew, with the support of the powerful family of Shimono Country, there is really no one in the entire Ueno who dares to move his country.

"Woo woo woo ......"

A conch sounded, Yuliang Chengfan's face changed, and he gritted his teeth and ordered: "Go and urge again, if they insist on procrastinating, leave them alone!" ”

The Jiuyao Ba Banner and the Chaotic Dragon Banner slowly moved down the mountain with the black-armored knights, where the flag was printed, the commander was there, and more than a thousand cavalry who protected the long-tailed Jinghu ran to the bottom of the mountain, so that the fans galloped and blew the magic conch that symbolized the attack, and the long-tail army along the way saw the Chaotic Dragon Banner dancing wildly in the wind and let out bursts of cheers.

They made way for a road leading straight to the front to facilitate the advance of their own formation, and more than a thousand swaggering horseback warriors sped down the hill with neat steps, and behind them, the mounted warriors carrying the Kuyoba banner gathered more and more, and soon gathered a terrible cavalry legion of more than 2,000 horsemen.

"It's just past afternoon, and we'll have to wait a little longer." Toyama Tsunade shrunk in the main battle to calculate the hour, such as a general like him charging forward is only a symbolic meaning, there is absolutely no intention of rushing to the front line to kill the enemy, the entire Hojo family is also Hojo Tsunade into a battle maniac, and the other samurai are very life-loving.

The task given to him by Hojo Shiyasu is to cooperate with the friendly forces to drag down the main force of the Nagao Army as much as possible, at least until the beginning of Shin Shiki (after three o'clock in the afternoon), this task is very arduous, no one wants to touch the main force of the Nagao family, others can find excuses to refuse, but he can't, the people of Edo are burdened with heavy hatred, and he can't feel at ease if he doesn't take this blood revenge back.

"The enemy is moving!" A few horses rode the fan at a very fast speed, the eager neighing of men and horses covered the distant military drums shook the silent formation, the distant mountain Gangjing got up and walked to the outside of the formation to look at the past, only to see that the eye-catching dragon flag was getting closer and closer, and suddenly the front fell into chaos.

The Edo people in front of the battle did not know the disaster they were about to face, and looked curiously at the opposite side, Echigo Ashigaru suddenly retreated backwards and cracked a huge opening, and the next moment the thunderous sound of horses' hooves trampling the earth came to their ears, like a melodic drum that shook their ears and buzzed.

It was as if all the sounds of the whole world had disappeared, only the dull and violent sound of vibration, which was the sound of the earth suppressing the pain, and in a few moments a thick horror appeared on the faces of the Edo people, and the black-clothed, black-armed, black-armed, large-gun, brown-black mount, except for the black and white Kuyaoba, there was not a trace of brightness on the body.

Thousands of Echigo knights are like a black tide surging in waves, this is the famous Echigo cavalry in Kanto, decades ago, Nagao for the scenery let the Uesugi family see a few times, decades later changed to the Hojo family to try his power, and this time it was Nagao Jinghu himself who led the army to charge ahead, he is the battle maniac that Toyama Tsunakyo least wants to see.

"Listen to the order and break through the enemy ahead!" The frightened Hojo Army was full of gall, the black-armored cavalry seemed to have taken a big tonic, and the whole army was excited, and thousands of knights were like huge waves overwhelming, and their whole bodies exuded a violent aura and rushed towards the scattered enemy formation, followed by five thousand ashigaru behind them and followed the pace of the cavalry to attack.

People are group animals, when a group is doing one thing, people will always involuntarily fall into blind obedience, and the same is true on the battlefield, when thousands of cavalry collectively fall into a state of frenzy, the fear of death in their eyes is all gone, and there is only bloody killing in their crazy eyes.

The Hojo Army was caught off guard, and he didn't expect Nagao Keitora to be so resolute, and there were four samurai dressed in the same clothes standing next to the Dragon of Echigo, they were exactly the same as Nagao Keitora from their body shape to armor, and the mission of these people was to disrupt the Hojo Army's sight with the Ranry Dragon Banner as a stand-in for Uesugi Kenshin, they were called Shadow Samurai aka Shadow Warriors.
