Chapter 7: The Fierce Battle at the Pass (Celebration of Signing and Change)

With the voice of Yoshinobu Yamada begging for Waga Shigeji, the morale of the Kusakigawa bandits instantly fell to the bottom, while the morale of the Yamada family was greatly boosted. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The battle gradually became clearer, and the demoralized bandits were gradually divided and killed by the ashigaru of the Yamada family. In a short time, more than half of the dead and wounded, and even some of the bandits had begun to flee, and the battle seemed to be over. At least that's what Yoshinobu Yamada thinks, but will it really make him happy?

After a while, the bandits of Kusakigawa finally began to rout, especially when more and more people fled, and it was difficult for the bandits who had lost their leader to muster up the courage to fight the Yamada family's football. In the face of one companion after another dying in front of him, not to mention that they are just a group of bandits, even the elite Standing Ashigaru will be defeated in this era when the general general will be fought. Historically, when Oda Nobunaga attacked Imagawa Yoshimoto in the Battle of Barrel Sasama, the 25,000-strong army under Yoshimoto collapsed in an instant and collapsed.

Some of them trembled and threw down their weapons and ran to the other side of the trail, shouting as they ran: "Don't fight, run, run away!" The rout spread like a plague among the bandits, and everyone began to retreat desperately, turning and running towards the other side of the mountain.

Yoshinobu Yamada commanded Ashigaru and the peasants to chase after the fleeing enemy, and there was nothing more exciting for Ashigaru than chasing and killing the fleeing enemy, which was a feat. Although they are no longer exhausted.

However, no one from the Yamada family, who were carried away by the victory, noticed the strength of the Tsugawa family, which had long been lying in ambush in the woods and on the mountainside, and was silently watching them.

Tsugawa Soji looked at the Yamada Army who was chasing and killing the fleeing bandits, his eyes revealed a cold gaze, he stood up and looked at the people who were already eager to try, a rushing killing intent permeated from Tsugawa Soji's body, and the shouting of killing under the mountain was intertwined with the excited and heavy gasps around him.

"Everyone, the time has come, kill the enemy with me" Tsugawa Soji shouted loudly: "Put up the banner of my Tsugawa family, rush." ”

The Kuroda family, who had long been impatient, tore through the flag that had been placed on the ground, and as Tsugawa Soji rushed out, a white-on-white, black-edged navy blue bellflower banner belonging to the Tsugawa family crest in Senhoku County appeared on the mountainside.

"Kill!" Date Masahiro took the lead with a sword, shouted loudly, brandished the sword and rushed down first, shouting as he rushed: "Yamada Lao'er, I, Tsugawa Soji, want to snow the shame of my Tsugawa family for several years today. Come on. The Ashigaru of the Tsugawa family also rushed down, and the entry of another army broke the situation of Komichi in an instant.

In the shocked eyes of Yoshinobu Yamada, the Ashigaru of the Tsugawa family rushed down the mountain with an unstoppable momentum. The Yamada family, who was happily chasing the bandits, stopped one after another, looking at the dense enemy, and his legs trembled in fright. They no longer have the strength to resist. The nerves that had begun to relax were tensed again, and fear spread among the peasants, and no one had the courage to fight again, even if they were standing ashigaru, they retreated a small step, and the more numerous peasants retreated.

Yamada Yoshinobu is already heartbroken at this moment, and the fight with He Chongji just now has not recovered his broken courage, and now he has encountered the ambush soldiers of the Tsugawa family, and the number is at least hundreds, when did the Tsugawa family already have such a force?

Yoshinobu Yamada never dreamed that after killing the bandits, the Tsukawa family's troops would be killed again. Where do you still have the courage to go up and fight hard, immediately turn around and run. The ashigaru of the Yamada family saw that the lord of the castle had fled, so what are we doing in a daze, running. The peasants began to look around in horror, looking for the direction of escape, the peasants are the peasants, they will never have anything to do with the elite, they can still wave their flags and shout on the side when they fight with the wind, and they can still fight hard if the battle situation is optimistic. However, when the war is not going well, they will hesitate, and when faced with a one-sided battle, they will immediately flee. They were already exhausted, and they could no longer burn even a little fighting spirit, and the fear that they could barely control burst out at this moment when Yoshinobu Yamada fled.

The defeat was like a mountain. This is the current situation of the Yamada family.

"Leave them alone, kill Yoshinobu Yamada for me, don't let him escape." Soji Tsugawa looked at the fleeing Yamada army and shouted at the ashigaru behind him. As long as Yamada Yoshinobu died, the Yamada family would fall apart, and the commander of the Imagawa Yoshimoto Hall Tokaido, the first bow and tens of thousands of troops, was captured and the Imagawa army immediately collapsed and fled in embarrassment, and then was pursued by Oda Nobunaga to take advantage of the victory and captured many castles in a row.

And as soon as Yoshinobu Yamada dies, not only will Yamayama Castle be captured, but there may also be a chance to take advantage of the situation to capture the Yamada family's Iwatani Castle. In this way, the Tsugawa family will not only regain the size of its previous peak, but will even double its strength.

Soji Tsugawa couldn't care about the others anymore, and at this time he only had the Yoshinobu Yamada who started to run away under the protection of the two ashigaru. He must be killed, and Soji Tsugawa immediately killed Yoshinobu Yamada. Soji, who wielded the sword, forcibly endured the stomach juice tumbling in his stomach, and killed the ashigaru who was blocking Yamada Yoshinobu one by one. Soji Tsugawa's blood boiled with a knife that slashed through a person who was desperately blocking him, and the ashigaru had a relieved expression on his gray face. Soji Tsugawa didn't care about guessing what Ashigaru was thinking at the moment, and rushed towards Yamada Yoshinobu in stride.

Yoshinobu Yamada, who was protected by two ashigaru retreats, did not expect that Soharu Tsugawa had already discovered their traces. Soji Tsugawa picked up a bamboo spear on the ground, and suddenly projected the bamboo spear in his hand in the direction of Yoshinobu Yamada with a section of running. However, it is a pity that the head is a little off, and it only penetrates the chest of Ashigaru who is standing next to Yoshinobu Yamada.

Yamada Yoshinobu, who was broken down, found that there was no possibility of escaping, and the Tsugawa family ashishigaru, who was waiting for work, had already solved the Yamada family ashigaru who dared to resist at this time, and cut off the entire trail before and after. Ashigaru, who did not escape from the Yamada family, hugged Yamada Yoshinobu and looked at the Ashigaru of the Tsugawa family with a wince.

Soji knew that many of the people who were surrounded were local peasants, and they were also leaders of the Tsugawa family before. He narrowed his eyes slightly, stood at the forefront calmly, and shouted loudly: "Yamada Yoshinobu The thief killed my father and took away the old collar that originally belonged to my Tsugawa family. Most of you used to be the leaders of my Tsugawa family, but now my Tsugawa family has come back. You don't have to die in vain with Yamada. Put down your arms, my Tsugawa family is not to blame for the past, and your land family will not move a bit. ”

Listening to Tsugawa Soji's shouts, the peasants and soldiers of the Yamada family laid down their weapons one after another, and no matter how much Yamada Yoshinobu roared, they could no longer keep them. There is nothing more important than holding the name, and the Tsugawa family used to be their lord, and they still have a sense of identity with the Tsugawa family in their hearts.

Soji saw that the peasants had laid down their arms and surrendered, and only Yamada Yoshinobu and a few diehards of the Yamada family held their weapons and were unwilling to surrender. Zongzhi smiled slightly: "Yamada Lao'er, did you ever think that there is today?" Yamada Yoshinobu looked dull, sighed, and said slowly: "The Tsugawa family can have a junior like you, and the Tsugawa clan can be blinded" After speaking, he paused and continued, "However, if you want my Yamada Yoshinobu's head, if you have the ability, you can take it" After speaking, he clenched the sword with both hands again, staring at Soji and no longer speaking.

Soji was speechless when he saw that Yoshinobu Yamada was stubborn and still fighting the trapped beasts. However, I also silently agreed with Yamada Yoshinobu's integrity in my heart, since this is the case, then I will send you on the road. Soji Tsugawa raised his hand, then put it down heavily and shouted, "Kill!" ”
