Chapter 422: The Battle of Yuhou (5)
When the news of the water battle near Oga Hall reached the ears of Soharu Tsugawa, it was already four days later. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
During this period, the Tsugawa family changed their previous calm situation, and Miki Naogo, who served as the former army, led by Hytaka Yoshima, Kuchiki Tsuaki, Nobi Nobita and others, took advantage of the night to attack the wooden bridge three days ago, preparing to launch an attack at night.
However, because Anton Shunji had Oshima Yusuke and others, who were guarding the wooden bridge, take precautions in advance, the attack did not work.
The blow failed, and Soharu Tsugawa was not discouraged. Early the next morning, Tsugawa Soji urgently ordered Nagano Masabo, Kawakami Tadakei and others to lead troops to support Miki Naogo in the front team, and sent a message to Miki Naogo to prepare to attack.
In the afternoon of the same day, the Tsugawa family, led by Miki Naogo, a total of 1,400 troops, began to launch a fierce attack on the Ando family on the other side of the wooden bridge. The battle continued into the evening, and the two sides were evenly matched. Although the Tsugawa family took more than 90 people from the Andong family, they also paid the price of more than 30 casualties.
Yesterday, Tsugawa Soji again ordered Yamamoto Ichiro to lead the Tsugawa family's Taidao team as the forward, and Miki Naogo and Kawakami Tadashi and others respectively took Blue Bei and Green Bei as reserves, ready to assemble the Tsukawa family's most elite Ashigaru to assault the bridgehead.
The attack did work at first. After several years of development, Yamamoto Ichiro's Taidao team has long been the most elite ashigaru in the Tsugawa family's territory, and every ashigaru of the Taidao team is equivalent to the lower level samurai of the Tsugawa family. Everyone was equipped with carcasses and knives, and it took nearly 700 pieces to prepare the equipment and weapons of the Taidao team alone.
In the face of the charge of the Taidao team, the Matsushita Kenhisa team guarding the bridgehead only lasted for half an hour before being defeated. The Yoshida Keijiro team and the Oshima suke team, who arrived later, also had the upper hand in the battle with the Taidao team, but they still gritted their teeth and persevered.
However, as the battle dragged on, the strength of the Taidao team's charge continued to weaken. Just when Oshima Yusuke and the others secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Miki Naogo and Kawakami Tadashi also came out with the four hundred elite standing reserves of Blue Bei and Green Bei. For a time, more than 300 troops of the Oshima Suke team and Yoshida Keijiro team at the wooden bridge faced the attack of more than 400 Tsugawa family elite ashigaru, and they had no power to fight back at all.
Oshima Yusuke and Yoshida Keijiro did not dare to hold it up, and hurriedly asked for help from the neighboring Sato Yoshiyuki.
Yoshiyuki Sato, who received a message asking for help, hurriedly rushed to the battlefield with more than 1,000 peasant soldiers under his command. With the arrival of Yoshiyuki Sato, the situation was finally brought under control. The narrowness of the wooden bridge became an obstacle to restraining the Tsugawa family from launching further attacks.
Ashgaru under Ichiro Yamamoto and others is in a dilemma on a narrow wooden bridge. When the first wave of the swift offensive was blocked, it was not so simple to break through Anton's defenses.
Seeing that he couldn't move forward, Miki Naogo could only give the order to retreat with hatred.
.........
"Smack!" A crisp sound sounded in the main formation of Anton Shunji of Balong Mountain, and several ceramic fragments were scattered on the ground. Anton Shunji sat on the main seat with a pale face and said nothing, and the rest of the retainers in the formation also showed miserable faces, and the entire formation was filled with a depressing atmosphere.
"Kenji Kitaura is an idiot! Okubo Nagaki, this traitor! A bunch of rubbish! Bastard! Anton Shunji suddenly scolded.
It turned out that just now. Anton Shunji was gathering his retainers to celebrate the success of resisting the attack of the Tsugawa family during this time, but unexpectedly, just when everyone was on the rise. An envoy of the Anton family (messenger who delivers the message!) He informed Andong Shunji of the results of the water battle that took place near the Oga Pavilion.
In an instant, Anton Shunji's heart exploded, and his originally smiling face immediately turned cloudy.
Looking at Anton Shunji's angry face, the retainers in this formation were silent, not daring to make a sound. How Matsuhashi Hidemori died, the retainers have not forgotten, since the defeat of Akita Yuan, this lord of his own will kill people if he disagrees.
"Kenji Kitaura and Okubo Nagaki have families in Hiyama Castle?" Anton Shunji suddenly said with red eyes.
Kubota Jifang on the side hurriedly said, "Lord, Kenji Kitaura has only one sister in the city, and Okubo Nagaji's hostage is his mother. ”
"Immediately order someone to go back to Hinoyama City, and kill all the families of these two people for me!" Right away!! Anton Shunji said with a hideous face.
Kubota Jifang hesitated for a moment, and then said cautiously, "Lord... Lord, have you forgotten? Wasn't Kenji Kitura's sister Aharu accepted by Moriyama Hall as a side room? As for Okubo Nagaji's mother, she passed away last month. ”
After Kubota Jifang finished speaking, many of the retainers in this camp looked at Anton Shunji with a strange look.
Anton Shunji's heart was also twitching at the moment. The Moriyama Hall in Kubota Jifang's mouth is the previous head of the Anton family, who has lived in seclusion, and Anton Shunji's father, Anton Xunji. Kitaura Kenji's sister is the side room of Anton Xunji, and Anton Shunji would not dare to kill Ah Chun no matter what.
"Alas!" Anton Shunji let out a long sigh, "That's it." Since Kenji Kitaura had died in battle, the matter was over. ”
"Order, the whole army withdrew to the eastern side of Balong Mountain, and set up a formation between Balong Mountain and Suhe Mountain." Anton Sunji continued.
Takeyama Nojiro on the side said puzzledly, "Lord, the Tsukawa family's offensive has been blocked by the main family, why do you want to withdraw?" ”
"Idiot!" Anton Shunji said loudly, "The Toga people are finished, and the Hachiro people have also fled." The Andong family's sailors can go directly upstream from the Yyodai River, and what if the wooden bridge is controlled by the main family? Where can't the Tsugawa family go ashore if they have a boat? With such a long stretch of the Miyo River, do you have to send ashigaru guards to every place? ”
"This ........" Hearing Anton Shunji's reprimand, Nojiro Takeyama hurriedly closed his mouth.
"It's impossible to resist the river now. The only way to Hiyama Castle here is a trail between Mt. Eight Dragons and Mt. Suzuru, as long as the family can keep this trail next, then the Tsugawa family has no way to take the family. Kubota Ieji, who was sitting on the side, said slowly.
After Kubota Ieji finished speaking, Keijiro Yoshida on the other side continued, "But in this case, Lord Shimizu of Yamamotokan will be in danger." ”
"Now that the family itself is difficult to protect, I believe that Shimizu Masayoshi has long been determined to die." Anton Shunji, the strong man said with a broken wrist: "I hope they can hold on to the Jinchuan family and retreat." ”
.............
"My lord, the Anton family's forces are beginning to retreat." Early the next morning, Jiro Iwaki, the leader of the ninjas of the Tsugawa family, came to Tsugawa Soji with a smile on his face and said.
When Tsugawa Soji heard this, he hurriedly put down the bamboo chip in his hand and drank the last mouthful of soup in the bowl, "Have you ever found out?" When did this happen? ”
Jiro Iwaki hurriedly replied, "It has been found out that the forces of the Anton family retreated at night last night, and now there is no one left on the north bank of the Yyogawa River except for the sundries left by the Anton family." ”
"Good!" Tsugawa Soji said happily: "It seems that Anton Shunji also knows the news of the defeat of the Anton family's naval army, and knows that it will no longer be useful to hold on here." ”
"In that case, immediately send an order to the whole army and march towards Hinoyama City! Don't let the people of the Anton family run away like this! Soji Tsugawa said in high spirits.
"Hah!"
