Chapter 891: There is no suspense
Of course, although the other party's ability is poor, but after all, there are five hundred troops, so Yura Chengfan still takes it seriously, as soon as the sky darkens, he pulls this leading samurai to eat wine, and the other party immediately forgets everything when he sees wine, the wine bag and rice bag are not called in vain, this drink can't stop the brake, until the sky is completely dark, Yura Chengfan looked at the unconscious enemy lying on the table, and couldn't help but sneer. He didn't drink less, but the other party only practiced the amount of wine from the small cup of Flower Street Willow Lane, and the amount of alcohol in these leaders was serious, and that amount of alcohol was nothing at all.
Solve the other party's leading samurai, then it will be easy to do, those ashigaru are ashigaru after all, how can they know about the castle tower yesterday, at this moment they thought that this was an adult in front of them and a member of their own family, since the lord drank too much, then it was right to follow his orders, so Yura Narishi just said a few words casually and easily transferred them away.
At this time, he should have opened the city gate, but for the sake of safety, he still sent a retainer to go out to inquire to see if the reinforcements had arrived, this is not a joke, even if the other party is in waste, he has no possibility of taking the city with these more than 200 people, but what makes him feel relieved is that the other party has arrived at the agreed place, once he opens the city gate, he can arrive at the time of a meal, since this is the case, there is nothing to hesitate.
As the west gate of Minowa Castle slowly opened, the shouts of killing in the city also became louder, and more than 270 troops led by Liang Chengfan first launched an attack on the 500 troops who had just been transferred from here. And then there's a sneak attack. There is also the fact that they simply can't think of a reason for the other party to attack them. Suddenly there was chaos.
Although the enemy's combat strength was not strong and there was no samurai to command, Yura Narishi did not dare to be careless, because he also knew what kind of virtue he commanded, and this time let them attack, although they did not dare to disobey the order, but from their faces, he still saw timidity. I can't help but understand their attitude, after all, this time I sneaked into the enemy city, and I had to face more than ten times more enemies, not to mention these ashigaru, even when I first came, didn't I feel the same nervous.
And the more this is the case, the more necessary it is for him to boost morale, so as soon as the two sides fought, he saw Yura Narita waving the spear in his hand. Rushing into the group of enemies who were still stunned, this rush was like a fierce tiger. It's some ashigaru who haven't been trained much, how can they resist the attack of the battlefield veteran who has practiced martial arts for decades, just in an instant, they were picked up by their spears and knocked over the three people, those ashigaru of the Hojo family saw that the other party was serious, this time they were completely panicked, except for those who couldn't escape in front of them, the rest were all fleeing in a panic, Yura Narishi didn't lead the army to chase after solving these enemies in front of him, because he knew that his task was to guard this city gate, killing a few more, killing a few less was meaningless.
So as soon as the enemy was dispersed, he immediately guarded the city gate, because he had just gone through a battle, so those ashigaru of the Yura family were not so afraid, after all, they knew that their reinforcements were coming soon, and the enemy was too vulnerable, as if their side had just launched an attack, the other party would be directly dispersed, if this is the case, not to mention that the other party has 3,000 people, even if there are 3,000 more people, there is no need to be afraid.
And when Yura Chengfan launched an attack at the same time, the Hojo clan Tadashi received a report, and when he began to hear the shouting of killing, he thought it was the Takayama army coming, so he didn't want to pick up the burden that had been prepared and filled with gold and silver, and was about to rush out, but when he had already run out of the door, suddenly the attendant rushed towards him, and when he saw the lord's posture, don't do any courtesy, it is estimated that the lord has no time to see, so he reported directly: "Report to the lord, Yuliang Chengfan launched a surprise attack on our army, After receiving the news, after learning of this situation, the adults immediately led the army in the direction of the west gate, and the three village lords gathered the rout and rushed towards the castle tower, swearing to protect the safety of the lord. "Obviously, this close attendant has been bought by Kotaro Mimura, and he is speaking for each other inside and out.
Hearing this, the Hojo clan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it turned out that it was just Yura Chengfan's rebellion, how many troops did he have, but more than two hundred, how many of his own? There are 3,000 people, not to mention fighting, even one person can drown them if they pee.
However, when he thought about it, he was very puzzled, how could this Yura Chengzhu suddenly launch a rebellion, he had no reason to do so at all, the only possibility was that the other party was sent by the Gao Shan family, but what could he get in the Gao Shan family? The Takayama clan is a big one, especially for these wealthy families, it is even more buckled, and there is absolutely no good end to him, even if others may be hot-headed, or out of helplessness, but this is completely unnecessary by Liang Chengfan, with his relationship with the Narita family, once he returns to the family, then even if he can't be reused, if he wants to save the family name, it can still be done, and it is precisely because of this consideration that he will let him into the city, this is really hard to figure out, but the Hojo clan is so good, If you can't figure it out, don't think about it too much, anyway, the other party has already rebelled, so you have enough reasons to eliminate him.
The Hojo clan did not take such a rebellion to heart, so he carried his baggage and walked steadily back to the inner room, because he knew that once the army mobilized Ximen, he could destroy it. It's just that as soon as he sat down, he suddenly grabbed some inspiration, but he couldn't think about it for a while, but he knew one thing, that is, the source of this inspiration was not a good thing.
At this time, even if he didn't want to think about it, he couldn't think about it carefully for the sake of his own life, and then he quickly went through the whole thing in his mind, and suddenly he finally thought it through, this time, without any hesitation, he immediately picked up the burden in his hand and rushed out of the door again.
He figured it out, the other party is not a fool, and he must have something to rely on if he can launch a rebellion with ten times the disadvantage of the army, because he knows that no one will be sent to death for no reason. Then there is only one possibility. At this moment, the Alpine Army is not far from here. Otherwise, even if the other party wants to betray, it is absolutely impossible to pick this time. So if you don't leave at this time, let alone when, once the mountain army comes, you can't go if you want to.
In the loyalty of the Hojo clan, he had no intention of competing with the Takayama Army at all, not to mention that there were only 3,000 troops now. Even if all the wealthy clans of the Hojo family, which are vassals of Ueno, come with an army at this moment, he still doesn't have this idea, and he can fight against the Takayama army and even win, such an idea is not for everyone. And coincidentally, Hojo Clan Tadashi never thought about it like this, don't look at it, but he is not arrogant, especially as the son of Hojo Clanyasu, when his father has not yet died. Although he was not interested in military politics, he could not help but listen. He is no stranger to the Alpine Army, at least the previous Alpine Army. That Gao Shan family is just a small force, and it can make my father pay so much attention, not to mention that now that the land under the rule of the other party has exceeded one million, how can he be an opponent. So if the other party doesn't come, as long as the mountain army dares to come...... Isn't it okay to run on your own?
And the attendant is now puzzled, the lord seemed to be full of confidence after receiving his report just now, but how did this blink of an eye come out in a panic, and even more panicked than the last time, what is the situation. The lord's affairs were undoubtedly the biggest thing for the servants, so he had to ask, "The lord is in such a hurry, I don't know what he wants?" ”
"Don't talk nonsense, if you want to live, leave with me." Hojo didn't stop at all, and said casually while walking briskly.
Hearing this, although he still didn't quite understand the lord's thoughts, the word "life-saving" was still very lethal to him, so he didn't ask much, and hurriedly followed behind the Hojo clan and ran towards the gate of the castle tower.
Kotaro Mimura had already led the defeated soldiers to the gate of the castle tower at this time to put on a defensive posture, if it was another force, then it would be difficult to get credit for doing so, after all, only by killing more enemies, can you get more credit, especially when the other party only has more than 200 people, this credit is given in vain, you can't grab it, how can you take the initiative to give it up at this time, and the lord is not really in danger, so they have to strengthen the defense of the castle tower, there are so few enemies, How can you have the ability to attack the castle tower, at this time, you should use all your resources to earn more merits, and the other samurai under the command of the Hojo clan are also thinking like this.
But Kotaro Mimura is really different, he knows too much about his lord, he knows very well that in the heart of the lord is not who can make meritorious contributions, who will appreciate whom, the lord values the most is the attitude, the ability almost doesn't matter, but the attitude must satisfy the lord, he can give up the credit, always think about the safety of the lord, such an attitude, will definitely make the lord satisfied, as long as the lord can be satisfied, then I am afraid that there is no possibility of promotion.
This Mimura Kotaro is the son of the owner of the water tea house, and he has no other skills, but his ability to figure out people's hearts is not small, or with his identity, it is impossible to climb the thighs of the Hojo clan, and now not only climbed, but also has the possibility of becoming the first retainer in the family, which is all up to his ability to figure out his mind, and now this matter, he feels that it is another great opportunity to strengthen his position in the heart of the lord, and how can he give up easily.
Therefore, when he had set up his defenses in a false pattern, he immediately prepared to enter the castle tower and pay tribute to the lord, but before he could enter, he saw the lord come out with his attendants. He also thought that his actions had moved the lord, so that the lord himself came out to reward him, so he immediately tidied up the armor on his body, knelt on the ground, and waited for the lord's praise.
But now the Hojo clan can still take care of these, as soon as he saw Mimura Kotaro outside the door, there were already five hundred troops, and immediately ordered: "Mimura, you give me these troops immediately and follow me out of the city." ”
"Lord, there are only more than 200 people under Yuliang's command, after the arrival of the army, there is definitely no possibility of resistance, the lord is out now, I don't know what the so-called thing is?"
"What's the matter? The Alpine Army is coming, don't talk nonsense, it's too late if you don't leave. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he only heard the shouts of the West suddenly become louder, and ...... And the Hojo clan can vaguely hear the screams of the Takayama army coming, which almost scared him to sit on the ground, fortunately he has thought of this, so he has not made a fool of himself in front of everyone, and Mimura Kotaro also heard such a shout, at this time, he can still have any hesitation, immediately take those troops under his command, protect the lord and rush to the east gate, all the way out of the city without hindrance, they dare not have any stay until they run out of the mile, after not hearing the shouts behind them, Then he turned south and left.
Because at this moment the Hojo army is all concentrated at the west gate, in addition to the chaos at the city gate, so the lord led the army to leave the news, and just when the Hojo clan Tadashi got the news and led the army to flee at the same time, at the west gate of Minowa Castle, after the Hojo family army arrived, the Yura army suddenly felt great pressure, although the other party did not lead the entire army to come, but even so, at this moment, the two hundred troops under his command still have to face more than a thousand enemy troops, and the morale of the Yura army is rapidly weakening, And the morale of the other party is constantly rising. After all, with their military strength, the momentum of fighting against the wind and the downwind is completely different, when the wind is fighting, their explosive combat power can reach ten percent, but once they are in trouble, the combat power can be maintained at five achievements is already considered an elite army, and the current combat power of the Yuliang army has not even been able to exert the general just now.
For these Ashigaru who have just left the identity of the peasant soldiers, they don't know what strategy, what tactics, they only know which side has more people, in their hearts, the side with fewer people will definitely not be able to beat the side with more people, this kind of idea is not only Yura family Ashigaru, even the Hojo Army also has such thoughts, especially after the head-to-head battle, the Hojo Army has completely suppressed the Yura army by the West Gate, if there is a brave warrior retainer under the loyal command of the Hojo clan, then Yura will inevitably collapse immediately, after all, the existence of a fierce general, Not only can it bring strong courage to the army, but it will also fight the will of the enemy, but unfortunately what the Hojo clan's loyal side lacks the most is the brave general.
So in front of them, the existence of Yuliang Chengfan is the spiritual pillar of Yuliang's army at this moment, if he doesn't exist, then I'm afraid there is no need to fight, as soon as the army arrives, these Yuliang family's ashigaru will break and flee, but now because of Yuliang Chengfan's bravery, although they are up and down in their hearts, they haven't fled.
