Chapter 1083: Lucky and Unlucky

Imagawa was really arrested, mainly because he was too unlucky. Last night, when he was attacked by the army of the Imagawa family in the country of Yuanjiang, in a panic, he followed two henchmen and retainers and lost his own army.

Later, they encountered the soldiers of the Imagawa family of Enoe Province, who were chasing down the allied army, and immediately hid in a remote mountain forest, and then walked out of the encircled circle along a little-known mountain hunter's trail on Mt. Takane, and came to a village near Mt. Takane before dawn.

In this way, Imagawa Shizhen, who was supposed to follow the coalition army rout and flee to the west bank of the Oi River, and then fight against the Imagawa family army of the Enoe Province led by Yamamoto Kansuke, Roshi Shinra and others who were in charge of interception, but in a daze, he actually walked to the outermost periphery of the Encirclement of the Imagawa family army against the coalition army this time.

At this time, the Imagawa clan and the two retainers around him were indeed very lucky, and when they found out that outside the village, they were too hungry and tired, so the three of them were ready to quietly enter the village to find something to eat. Seriously, the Imagawa clan has grown so big, and he has never been so frightened as last night, let alone so unbearable hunger and fatigue.

It's just that after the Kawa clan entered the village cautiously, they were immediately unlucky, because they happened to meet Naohu Ii and the others who were patrolling there.

The reason why Ii Naohu is here is completely because he was "bullied" by other wealthy families. In Yamamoto's plan, wealthy clans such as Ii Naotora who were subordinate to the Toe Imagawa family would be on the outskirts of Mt. Takane, and would be responsible for blocking several directions of Mt. Takane after Hyakutake Kenkan and others launched a surprise attack on the Mt. Takaneyama coalition. The coalition forces were driven to the east in the direction of the Oi River.

And when all the wealthy families discussed the allocation of the blocking area that each family was responsible for. Because Ii Naotora is a woman. And he was still relatively young, so he was jointly bullied by other wealthy clans, and the most remote area where there was basically no possibility of a coalition rout was assigned to the Jing Yi family represented by Jing Yi Naohu.

The other wealthy clans have carved up other areas that are likely to encounter the rout of the coalition army. The reason why these wealthy clans are so enthusiastic and take the initiative to take over the areas where the coalition may rout can only show that they are also smart people, knowing that this time the Yuanjiang Imagawa family will inevitably win a big victory, and the so-called blocking task is actually the easiest, so they naturally want to get as many military merits as possible.

Thereupon. The joint bullying of Ii Naotora had no choice but to lead the Ii family's army to the place where the coalition was most likely to rout, but when they just entered the only village in the area, they happened to see several village women holding wooden sticks chasing Imagawa Shin and others who were found stealing something to eat.

As a result, the originally lucky Imagawa clan instantly became very unlucky. At that time, the angry Ii Naotora who was being bullied in the stomach personally took action, and the dignified and manly Imagawa clan was beaten by Ii Naohu and his nose was blue and his face was swollen. So, Imagawa Shizhen, who couldn't stand being bullied by a woman anymore, actually revealed his identity directly, and hoped to avoid being bullied by Ii Naotora again.

As a result, he really didn't get bullied anymore, but he was pulled to the battlefield on the west bank of the Oi River, under the intimidation of Hyakkutake Kenkan's cannibalistic eyes. Most of the coalition forces that were still in the revolt surrendered. So, under the persuasion of the Imagawa clan, he surrendered. This battle on the west bank of the Oi River has finally ended.

At this time, the afterglow of the setting sun falls on the Oi River. Seeing that night was coming soon, Yamamoto Kansuke rejected several big men who would continue to pursue Kenyì, he didn't want to drag this battle into the category of night battles, not to mention that Hojo Tsunari, who had fled before, was not a fool, at this time, I am afraid that the position on the other side has begun to be arranged, ready to meet their pursuit, it is not good to say that after pursuing to the other side tonight, it will also fall into the tricks of the other party, turning an originally victorious battle into a fiasco, so for the sake of stability, Yamamoto Kansuke finally ordered to blow the conch horn to collect troops.

As the horn sounded, the Einsatzgruppen, which had been exhausted from the pursuit in the rear today, and the army of the Enoe-Imagawa family's main formation, which was fiercely blocking on the west bank of the Oi River, finally stopped. Obviously, as the night wore on, the army of the Imagawa family had no intention of continuing to fight, and as for the rout of the coalition forces that did not surrender and fled nearby, let them go.

After fighting all night and day, the army of the Toe Imagawa family gradually returned to the main camp on the west bank of the Oi River. The soldiers surrendered the heads they had cut in battle, and the military paid for them was registered in a special head register.

Subsequently, in accordance with the previous management, Kansuke Yamamoto, Nobuyo Roche and others held a ceremony for the first level of inspection. They personally summoned the soldiers who had won a lot of heads, or killed the other party's famous samurai, and at the same time praised these people after seeing the heads, and according to the value of the heads, they took out gold to reward these people on the spot, in order to further win over these local samurai soldiers, so their rewards were quite generous.

After the first grade, a ceremony was held. Although there were many casualties among the troops of the Toe Imagawa family in this battle, it can hardly be called a super victory. However, according to the previous provisional statistics, the combined forces of the Suruga Imagawa family and the Hojo family of more than 7,000 people died in this battle, at least more than 2,000 people were killed, more than 3,000 were captured, and the remaining 2,000 people escaped. However, the biggest result this time was to capture the Imagawa clan alive, as long as the Imagawa clan was in control, then the Toe Imagawa family would have the upper hand in the battle with the Suruga Imagawa family in the future.

After a series of celebration ceremonies, Kansuke Yamamoto and Nobuyo Roshi expressed their gratitude to the soldiers who fought hard, and finally announced in public that this time the Oigawa battle was fought together, and the Toe Imagawa family was the final winner.

Countless soldiers in the audience raised the tips of their guns high and cheered in unison.

"The Imagawa family of Toe will win!"

"Hey, hey!"

"The Imagawa family of Toe is mighty!"

"Hey, hey!"

……

The next time, the army of the Imagawa family began to clean up the battlefield in an all-round way, picking up the remaining weapons and burying the corpses, so as to prevent the outbreak of plague in this area. Most of the corpses had their heads cut off, and the soldiers of the Imagawa family army lined up the corpses one by one and buried them along the edge of the fields. The first stage dug a large pit, built one by one, arranged at the bottom of the pit like the stone heng of the city wall, and finally buried it in the soil.

After the burial of the fallen soldiers, the Imagawa family of Toe asked the nearby monks to do a ceremony, and Yamamoto Kansuke, Luo Shinliang and others also personally participated in the overtime for the fallen soldiers.

Later, the army returned to Suwahara Castle to rest, and Yamamoto Kansuke and Roshi Shinrashi's subordinates informed the wealthy clans of Enoe Province, Mikawa Province, and even Suruga Province of the victory of the battle on the west bank of the Oi River. One can imagine how much commotion it will cause in this area as the outcome of this great war, especially when the news of the capture of the Suruga Imagawa family governor spreads to these areas. At this time, the forces of the Amano family and the Kan family, who were still in the confrontation with the army led by Imagawa Furi in the rear, would inevitably flee into the mountains and forests to hide.

After that, Kansuke Yamamoto and Nobuya Roche issued a certificate of encouragement.

An angu is a territorial guarantee issued by the Sengoku daimyo to his retainers. It contains the names of the retainers, the height of the territory, and the location of the territory. This is also the way in which the Sengoku daimyo have always ruled the region. In addition to the Ann Seal Certificate, the Daimyo Grant Territory will also issue a Wai Hang Certificate. The difference is that the Wanxing form is generally used to reward military achievements, and the direct territory is given to the general, and the security form is only used to ensure the existing territory.

At present, the internal and political affairs of the Luo family cannot be fully implemented in the territory, so Yamamoto Kansuke, Luo Shinra and others can only temporarily follow the practice of managing the territory of the general Warring States Daimyo.

After doing this well, the next step is to start liquidating the wealthy families who leaked their secrets during the battle with the Suruga Imagawa family's coalition forces, and this time, with the defeat of the Suruga Imagawa family again, even if they do something against these wealthy families without definite evidence, the other local nobles will not dare to make any changes. Kansuke Yamamoto and Nobuya Roche also took advantage of this opportunity to once again strengthen their control and infiltration of the territory.
