Chapter 258: Tiger Queen's Battle
"What are we going to do? What the hell are we going to do! Woohoo......"
The experience of the Maori family was sympathized with by many people, and the Kamakura period of a generation of famous families fell like this, thinking that the Oe family also followed the Ashikaga family to participate in the Frost Moon Riot, in which the Oe family of the Oe family followed the Ashikaga family and the Kira Mitsuru clan to die together, and then the Oe family had to scatter and flee, so there was Echigo Mori, Anki Mori two branches separated.
It can be said that they were one of the members who were directly involved in the Kamakura Imperial Family and the Imperial Inland Rebellion, but then the Ashikaga, Kira, Spo and other Genji clans were forgiven in the Hojo Takatochi era and were able to return to the Imperial Family system to lay the foundation for the rise of the Ashikaga family, while the Oe clan was not so lucky, and they soon fell to the point where they are now, and they were not even qualified to be vassals for the Ashikaga family, which insisted on being a great shame for the Oe clan.
That's why these two old men will cry in despair, it is a cry that there is no hope, it is a cry that cannot carry the glory of their ancestors, they are venting the heavy courage they have carried since childhood, and they are crying that they will never see the goal of the future.
Genji's questioning is like a hammer smashing through the dams of reason that they have built over the years, what could be more painful than all the quibbles they have made? Hojo Takahiro really wanted to stand up and tell everyone that the descendants of the Oe clan had not forgotten all this, but he couldn't say it, because he was ashamed of what he had done, and the Kamakura family was reduced to the point where he sold everything for two hundred taels of gold, what words did he have to describe the pain at this time?
He can look down on the Nagao family from the Kamakura Party, because the Banto Taira clan is only on a par with his Oe, but he has no capital and no qualifications to look down on the Kawachi Genji clan. Because the Ashikaga family is a descendant of the Genji clan of Kawachi. The supreme leader representing millions of samurai families in the world.
The 200,000 horsemen who united in the Ashikaga Son's Imperial White Flag will never forget that glory. The samurai of the Kanto region are even more deeply aware of the pain of not having the shine of Genji, and the Uesugi family can bully the samurai of the ten countries of Kanto with the body of a foreign relative, and the only trace of glory that has flowed in the blood for hundreds of years is gradually dissipating, and they are indisputably degenerate.
"Swear it! Maori is high! Make your oath to the imperial flag of the Genji, the Oe clan will always be loyal to the Hangoi Genji family, if you break the oath, heaven will punish you! You and other ancestors of the great river also punished him! ”
"I, the Oe, the Mori Takahiro (Takatsu), are under the witness of Genji's Imperial Banner. Make an oath to Hachiman Bodhisattva...... The Oe clan will always be loyal to the Hangoi Genji family...... If you violate the oath, God will punish you...... Our ancestors of the great river also condemned it! ”
The brothers' spirits almost collapsed, one would cry and one laugh and make a poisonous oath, everyone in the hall looked at the young man in military uniform with awe, he always stood under Genji's imperial flag and was silent, the afterglow of the setting sun fell on his body, and a bright golden light appeared, making his whole person as if the gods had descended to earth, so that all the samurai present could not help but hang their proud heads.
The results of the treatment came out quickly, and the Hojo family's 7,000 koku was reduced to 2,000 koku. This is still the result of the bitter pleading of the old man Yoshihiro Hojo under his serious illness, otherwise he may not be given a thousand stones. And Hojo Takahiro will make meritorious service as a criminal minister, and use his military exploits to redeem the glory of his ancestors, and of course, the five thousand stone land Zhixing.
The Maori family has always cooperated with this severe punishment, and no one dared to question it, because this was not the punishment of the lord of the country, it was the first time that the Ashikaga family implemented the family law, and both the local nobles and the local servants looked at Hojo Castle with awe, and the Ashikaga family flag fluttering in the wind, the flag seemed to indicate that the great change in Echigo was coming, and where would a storm from Genji blow?
……
Near the Itoyu River in Echigo Neck-gun Castle County, a group of defeated troops with scattered flags are fleeing rapidly, and the Echichu Shinbo Army is the Echichu Shinbo Army with the seal of the Tsuji Banner and the Maru Rice Banner is the army of the Great Bear Chaoxiu, the two defeated armies are not in order, and the queue is chaotic, and there are even people supporting each other limping away, obviously suffering a lot of heavy losses.
As the chief general of the Jimboo reinforcements this time, the luck of Saemon, the lord of Kaiji Castle, was very bad, and he didn't go far before he encountered thousands of long-tail troops on the triangle platform, and what was even more unfortunate was that the long-tail army invited a group of elite reserves with explosive combat effectiveness from nowhere, and the two sides fought an asymmetrical war.
Two thousand prepared long-tail troops defeated the unsuspecting Jimbo and Okuma less than 700 coalition troops and fled in disarray, and the city was surrounded on the spot, and he did not know whether he was alive or dead, and after statistics, he found that the number of people killed and missing in this battle exceeded 100 people, which was all the capital of his Terasaki family.
The Jimbo family sent a total of more than a dozen samurai, fifty ashigaru, in this triangular battle, the samurai of the Jimbo family ran faster than a rabbit, and the final loss was all the manpower of his Terasaki family, how could this not make him feel distressed, thinking of the samurai of the Terasaki family here, they became more and more unpleasant to see the big bear Ashide.
Dakuma Chaoxiu didn't expect it to become like this, of course he recognized the family crest flag of the Kira family, the Wuweidian has been silent for most of the year after coming to Echigo, and he has long been forgotten by the forgetful people Many legends of him in the Kinai, what kind of ghost and god can be a famous shogunate, who has seen it? In the past, he was the first to not believe it, but now who dares to say?
Seeing the sad expression of this big bear Chaoxiu, Terasaki Shinzaburo took the initiative to lean over and asked in a strange way: "Big bear is ready to guard!" That's not what you said in the first place, did you? Didn't you say that the governor of the Nagao family was terminally ill? Why do we see the long-tailed Jinghu appear in this formation? You can't deliberately trick us, do you? ”
"Huh? How do you say that? How could I, Chaoxiu, risk my own life to go to the Pit God Shrine and Terasaki Temple? My Big Bear Army also suffered a lot of damage, didn't it? "Daxiong Chaoxiu brisked himself to deal with the vulgar Chinese people in Yuezhong, although he looked down on these guys from the bottom of his heart, but people had to bow their heads under the eaves, and he had to rely on these guys if he wanted to return to Echigo.
"It seems that Bizen Mamoru doesn't know the situation of the Nagao family? Whose army is that? ”
Big Bear Chaoxiu's eyes rolled, and he smiled again and said, "You said that army? It was the military of His Royal Highness the Governor of Kira Left Guard, and it is said that it set off a big storm in Kinai, I don't know if you have heard of it? ”
"You said the Kira family? It seems that there is such a saying, are they really so powerful? ”
"I don't know, this is the first time I've seen it."
There was a rumbling vibration in the distance, and the big bear Asahide and Terasaki Minbu Saemon were both shocked, they didn't expect to sacrifice so many people to stop the Nagao Army for half an hour, at this speed, can they escape back to Yuezhong from their relatives and sons, and the two of them urged at the same time: "Hurry up!" The Long Tail is catching up! ”
"But the wounded soldier ......"
"I can't do it! Escape first! ”
The defeated army fled at a noticeable speed, and the wounded soldiers who were supporting each other tried to shout and chase after their allies, but their companions did not hesitate to leave themselves alone and flee for their lives, which made them give up their resistance in despair and gather together as if they were resigned to the attack of the Nagaos.
However, in a moment, hundreds of cavalry rode through like a whirlwind whistling by, and the flag marks of Nagao Kuyoba and Saito Chikiri all showed the owner of this cavalry team, and the long-tailed cavalry did not even glance at it, and directly passed by the wounded soldiers.
The main formation of the Nagao family also rushed over later, and a group of ashigaru with the Kuyoba pattern on their backs escorted all the wounded soldiers away, and the long-tailed tiger in the formation wearing the Great Armor of the Sawa Lagoon looked particularly excited, and although the first charge did not cut down anyone, this progress was something she had never thought of.
For a twelve-year-old girl, it is still too heavy to see the real bloody battlefield, but Nagao Tiger Ji is different, he is the daughter of the Nagao family, when he was five years old, he watched his brother Nagao Jinghu personally kill the retainers who launched the rebellion, as the heir of the Neiding family governor, she has to follow her brother to Zhongyue and Xiayue every year, no matter disgust or disgust, she has long been forced to accept this kind of daily life of dying at any time.
How many nights did she wake up from nightmares, watching people covered in blood wailing and dying, blood bursting out with the severed head, and her brother told him that this is war, this is the world of men, if a woman wants to adapt to this life, she must do better than men, and if she has nightmares, she goes to the meditation hall to participate in meditation and chant sutras, and the samurai blessed by the gods and Buddhas are not afraid of evil infection.
Over the years, she has developed the habit of attending meditation and chanting scriptures from time to time, and the Heavenly Room Light Education of Lengquan Temple and the Tiger Imperial Front of Qingyan Temple of Linquan Temple have become the places she goes to most often, compared to the Bodhi Temple of the Five Wisdom Kokubun Temple or the Nagao family, which makes her feel more at ease, not to mention that there is also her mother there.
"Keep the pursuit! Capture the big bear asahi show! ”
"Yes!" The morale of the Nagao army is booming, and Princess Tiger Ji has always been the most popular idol in the Nagao family, and when she wears large armor and holds a military match to exercise the power of the country, no matter how many shishu in the Nagao family, they show a very high level of fighting.
The earlier encounter was fought too fast, and she only had time to adjust the formation and handed it over to Yamamoto Tokiyuki, Saito Asanobu, Ueno Ienari and others to command, although everyone cooperated for the first time, but fortunately, the level of several generals on the long tail side was very high, and both the Kira army and the long tail army were veterans who were brave and good at fighting.
The cavalry outflanked and wantonly attacked the flanks, and the ashigaru frontal assault broke the front gun formation of the Great Bear and the Jimbo Army, and the Ashigaru team of the Kira Army was very eye-catching, they were armed with spears and shields, and easily knocked away the weak and weak gun formation, and at the beginning of the war, the situation was pushed to a one-sided victory, and the Great Bear Asahide and the Jimbo Army abandoned the first formation of the Jomasashi and fled, and the battle took less than two quarters of an hour.
At a slight cost, he ate the main force of more than 100 people of the Great Bear and Shenbao coalition forces in one bite, and this great victory made a great contribution to boosting morale. (To be continued......)
