Back to the moment before the Maori Yuan attack last night, on an unnamed hill near the mouth of the Takaliang River in China, Kobayakawa Takakei stood on the high hill and looked at Ebara Village from afar, the wind whined in the sky, the bonfires lit by the enemy dotted the night in front of them, and the torches on the arrow tower had already burned out under the wind. In the cold autumn wind, the calm estuary is full of murderous intent inside and outside. He straightened up, took a deep breath, looked at the sky, looked down again, and muttered a nasal voice that no one could hear. Is this disturbing earthly world ruthless or affectionate? A few stars are inlaid in the sky, watching the cruel world with cold eyes.
Under the command of Nami Meixing, a group of personal soldiers scattered around, carefully guarding Kobayakawa Takakei. Nami Meixing is the lord of Chausu Mountain Castle, the son of the old man of the Numata Kobayakawa clan Nomi Takako, who supports Kobayakawa Takakei Gong and becomes the latter's personal entourage, and his aunt marries Mori Mototo and becomes the wife of the side room, that is, the later four sons Hoi Ida Motokiyo, seven men Amano Motomasa, and nine men Mori Hidebo (the adopted son who became a brother was renamed Kobayakawa Hidebo).
Kobayakawa Takakei stood on a high hill, separated by a kind of low hill, and the faint spark in the extreme distance on the southwest side was the light of the East and West Ebara Formation where the Date clan was stationed, and the East and West Ebara Formation was the challenge he had to face. He pointed to the faintly visible bonfire and said, "That's Ebara Village!" I wonder what Ida's one-eyed dragon would think when he heard that his hinterland was in crisis? He seems to have forgotten that the winner of the current battle belongs to the Date clan. Instead of the Maori clan, otherwise they would not have used the night raid method to do the final fight. Trying to win the big with the small and the strong with the weak, creating a miracle of a reversal.
Kobayakawa Takakei scoffs at Date Masaki's self-selling and boasting of his reputation as a rare dragon that is rare in a century. For the propaganda of the Warring States period, most people attach great importance to it, and in fact, it can be said to be a disguised coercive method. Regardless of whether it is strong or not, people often like to look at their own body with gold, and the small Wa Kingdom is full of dragons, tigers, and ghosts. Kobayakawa Takakei didn't have the slightest affection for these people, even if his second brother touted himself as "Oni Yoshikawa", he secretly slandered in his heart, and he couldn't help but think: Even if he is really a dragon. At best, it's just an earth dragon.
"Matashiro, I'm still thinking about Ebara-sau, and after today, there won't be anything about Ebara-sau?" The voice of the words brought a burst of laughter, with a slight resentment in the laughter, and the object of resentment was not Kobayakawa Takakei, who was standing on the hill, but the new owner of the land under his feet, if not the other party. He will not be reduced to the current point, Kobayakawa Takakei hurriedly turned back.
Hanqiu is still wearing a short coat, almost a sturdy upper body, and the muscles with hard lines are carved out like the best stonemasons, and he doesn't look very old, but his eyes are calm like a pool of water. Joy and anger are not obvious, and it is indeed a steady face. Kobayakawa Takakei didn't care, and said to the visitor: "Brother Murakami, you're here." ”
Takeshi Murakami smiled slightly, but he didn't care about the disdain in Kobayakawa Takakei's mouth. He stood not far from him, looking at the castle three or four miles away. He couldn't see the slightest light, and in the night, it was just a blurry black shadow, and he really didn't look defenseless, he felt a little uneasy for no reason, and then threw the uneasiness out of his mind, and said in a low voice: "It's here, it's past midnight, and I really want to attack Yukiyama Castle, and that Tsuru Castle is the foundation of the main city of the Date clan." ”
Kobayakawa Takakei knew that Murakami Takeshi hated Date Masaki, and the Manabe Island incident hit the key point of Murakami Takeyoshi, so that the Noshima Murakami Navy has not recovered until now, and the originally dying salt-saturated water army is continuously attacking the channel of the Noh Island Murakami Water Army, and the Kojima Tongyasu is also yang and yin.
Kobayakawa Takakei's expression was obviously not as free and easy as when he spoke, and he said to Takeyoshi Murakami, "Do you really think that attacking Tsurushijo is better than Koyama Castle?!" Everyone could hear the helplessness in his words.
Murakami Takeyoshi touched the sword hanging from his waist and asked slowly, "What does Matashiro think?" ”
Kobayakawa Takakei sighed and said in a low voice: "Now is not the time to fight, since my father insists on fighting, as a son of man, I have to make the best plan, as soon as Koyama Castle falls, we can enter and threaten Ebara Sho, retreat or take down Natakamatsu Castle, and after looting, give these castles to the people of Bizen Province, and then leave by boat." Kobayakawa Takakei obviously had no hope of winning this battle, and his words were full of deep helplessness.
Although Murakami Takeyoshi hated Date Masaki in his heart, he was still not much surprised, his brows were tightly locked, and he nodded slightly and said: "Now only when he hurts can he have a chance to win." ”
Kobayakawa Takakei didn't go to see Takeyoshi Murakami again, looked back in the direction of Ebara Zhuang, and said hatefully, "Even if it's a victory, what? Now Yoshimi Masarari is under siege by pottery thieves, and he is in danger, compared to China and Iwami Province, which is more important, can't my father really see it clearly?! ”
Kobayakawa Takakei's face was very terrifying, and he gritted his teeth and said: "It's not Yoshikawa Motoharu who doesn't know what to do, hateful bastard, now that the situation is so critical, he keeps slandering in front of his father in order to highlight his appearance." ”
Taking a deep breath, Kobayakawa Takakei sighed, "Do your best to obey the destiny of heaven!" Attack before the night passes! In his opinion, any conspiracy and trickery to deceive the gate of Yukiyama Castle is all useless, and only by taking Koyama Castle can it play a role in shaking the heart of Date's army, and the only way to attack it is to storm it.
The offensive and defensive battle of Koyama Castle began quickly, and Nakamura Chaotada's reputation may not be as loud as that of Kobayakawa Takakei and Murakami Buyoshi, but with the strong defense of Koyama Castle, it can still be done for three or two days, as long as Ebara Village is divided, the siege of Koyama Castle will be resolved.
Gradually, time passed by noon, and Captain Kodama Saburo Rightemon was beheaded by Ueno Taro Masatsuna, and the remnants of the defenders, Mori Moto, who was still breathing, retreated in the direction of the key mountain of the Kamibe Plain.
Suddenly. In a corner of the battlefield of Koyama Castle, five cavalrymen wearing the seal of the Date clan appeared in the sight of Kobayakawa and Murakami's troops with bows and arrows. They also seemed to be stunned by the battlefield in front of them, and forgot to chase after them, and one of them shouted: "Damn, it's the special forces of the Maori family, withdraw first and report to Your Highness." As he spoke, he shot the bow and arrow in his hand at the one in front of him, and the rest of the horsemen also shot their bows and arrows, and then turned the reins and disappeared from people's sight.
Hearing the news, Takakei Kobayakawa and Takeyoshi Murakami saw clearly the man who had fallen to the ground. His face suddenly became extremely ugly, Kobayakawa Takashi bit his lip tightly, and said sullenly: "Something happened to Ebara Village, it was Kumagai Izu's integrity." ”
He had a bad omen when he saw the five Ida's cavalry suddenly appear, and now that he saw Kumagai Nobunao, he was even more sure that things had gone terribly bad, and he closed his lips tightly. To suppress anger, it is better to think about countermeasures than to be angry.
Nobunao Kumagai was covered in blood, as if he had been seriously injured, and he had been stabbed several times, and he had also been hit by a long arrow in his back. came all the way, and when he saw the person he was looking for at this moment, he suddenly couldn't support it, and shouted: "Again Shiro, another Shiro." Trap, Date has set a trap. We jumped in and it was all over......" said and fainted.
Kobayakawa Takakei suddenly turned around and glanced at Takeshi Murakami, extremely shocked. Now it seems that Date Masahiro has already seen the bad intentions of Maori Moto, he actually used the ten days without a fight to set a huge trap in Ebara Zhuang and wait for Maori Yuan to jump in, and now from Kumagai Nobunao, he must be unguarded, not only lost the attack on China, but also lost the army.
What's even more fatal is that Maori Yuan's life and death are now uncertain, bringing Maori into a desperate situation.
Kobayakawa Takakei hung his head in pain, he had an impulse, an urge to scold. At the beginning, he tried his best to dissuade Mori Moto, first west and then north, defeated Tao Qingxian and then reached an alliance with Ouchi Yoshitaka, and then took advantage of the situation to attack the three preparations, forming a joint encirclement of the Izumo Niko clan, but Mori Mototo did not listen, and insisted on subduing Date Masahiro first.
Later, after the defeat of the first battle of Takayagawa, he advised Mori Yuan to withdraw his troops as much as possible, not to deal with Date Masahiro, and to return to the country as soon as possible to rescue Yoshimi Masayori, but Mori Yuan still did not listen.
Murakami Takeyoshi also heard the general truth that Maori Yuan had been defeated from just a few words, and his heart was flooded with waves, and he was shocked, he frowned tightly, his eyes were wide open, and he trampled the dry grass under his feet back and forth, and suddenly raised his head and said: "Matashiro, our Murakami Water Army has decided to withdraw from the 6 places and come back another day." ”
Murakami Takeshi is not a retainer of the Maori clan, so he can naturally make decisions on his own, and he now informs Kobayakawa Takakei that he has done his best. Kobayakawa Takashi roared in a low voice: "Okay, come and take his head another day, it's not a shame, I'm determined to avenge today's revenge." ”
In the anti-ancient mountains on the other side of Koyama Castle, Iwase Kogoro was trampling the grass angrily, and Matsushima Yajiro was not in a very good mood, but Kiyokawa Atsutaro seemed to be grasping all the strengths, and when he saw the five horses returning, he clenched his fists and said, "Great things can be done." ”
Yajiro Matsushima turned around and asked, "Atsutaro, what's the matter with you, why did you make Kumagai Shinnao act like he was fleeing." The implication is that he is a bit troublesome.
Kiyokawa Atsutaro said with a smile: "The battle of Ebara Village has been decided, and the generals have made a lot of achievements, but you and I are here, do you really want to let Kobayakawa Takajing and Murakami Takeyoshi gently slip away from the eyes, hum, I am not reconciled, yes, so I let that Kumagai Shin directly act in a play." ”
Matsushima Yajiro's eyes narrowed and he asked, "Why would Nobunao Kumagai listen to us?" ”
Atsutaro Kiyokawa said with a smile: "If people know that he was captured and released, how can Anyi have his status in the country, and now he is fleeing back to report the news, and it is reasonable to say that one lie must be covered up with another lie, and it will inevitably exaggerate, scare the other party, and use it as a cover for our sneak attack." ”
Just as Atsutaro Kiyokawa was talking, the sentry waved a banner, and Atsutaro Kiyokawa laughed and said: "They retreated, the matter is half done, now it's time for us to be powerful, do you want to go with me?" (To be continued.) )
