Chapter Twenty-Five: The Battle of Nagashino Castle (and)
Ii Naomori will not forget that his father Naomune died in battle under Tawara Castle in Mikawa Province in order to win back the trust of the Imagawa family, nor will he forget that his two uncles, Naomitsu and Naoyoshi, were called to Sunfu and executed for treason, and almost wiped out the clan.

If it weren't for this paper feeling, Ii Naomori, who was not trusted by Imagawa Yoshimoto, would not have received the order to go out of battle at the moment Imagawa Yoshimoto entered the battle. In fact, Imagawa Yoshimoto won the battle of Nagashino Castle, and after hiding from Oda Nobunaga, the balance of victory has tilted in Imagawa Yoshimoto's favor. After the victory of Imagawa Yoshimoto, what kind of punishment will be suffered by Ii Valley Castle, who did not participate in the war, Ii Naomori can i, and this is why he has to take the initiative.
Ii Tani Castle actually hesitated when the Imagawa family's order to participate in the war was issued, and in the end, it was the old family governor Ii Naohi who came forward to persuade the retainers who had been oppressed by the Imagawa family to be full of resentment, and ordered his grandson Ii Naomori to go into battle.
Ii Naomori and Naojin rode horses and stood on the narrow road on the west side of Ishinomaki Mountain.
Ishinomaki Mountain is the boundary between Mikawa Province and Enjiang Province, stretching all the way to the sea, and many mountain people used to live here, but now they have fled to other places. There are many canyons in Ishinomaki Mountain, and Ii Naomori put 800 troops in the canyons to rest.
Jing Yi Nao's is the son-in-law of Jing Yi Naomori, and Jing Yi Naomori is a cousin relationship, because Jing Yi Naomori has only one daughter under his knees and no heirs, the hometown Du Yi Naopei ordered Jing Yi Naoping to be the son-in-law of Jing Yi Naomori, which is also one of the causes of the turmoil of the Jing Yi clan. While fleeing to Shinano, Naoki Ii married the daughter of his benefactor, the Okuyama clan, and later returned to Ii Valley Castle, and did not succeed him as the governor of the family after the Tsubakusama Rebellion, as in history. However, the birth of the eldest son of the direct parent, Hu Song, the following year, gave the Jing family a short-lived joy.
Ii Naomori turned his head to look at Naoto and asked, "Naokin, how are we going to attack?" ā
Jing Yi Nao personally looked up at the sun in the sky, pondered for a moment, and then replied: "We can't attack too early, lest we suffer great losses and give the young people the opportunity to encroach on Iiya. It can't be too late, giving Imagawa Yoshimoto a chance to go berserk. Well, it's getting dark, so let's rest first. ā
Ii Naomori nodded and agreed to Ii Nao's suggestion. The numerical disadvantage can only be compensated for by psychological advantages, as long as it is dark, as a land-sitting household familiar with the terrain, the advantage of fighting at night is obvious, not to mention that the Oda family does not dare to stay longer, and will definitely not fight hard. In this way, they can not only defeat Oda Nobunaga, but also be able to explain to Imagawa Yoshimoto, Ii Naomori has not yet realized the destruction of the Imagawa family, they just want to save themselves.
Oda Nobunaga was inexplicably defeated, he didn't know where the defeat was, but he did fail. Originally, with the support of Imagawa Yoshimoto, he was still able to defeat Imagawa Yoshigen with the advantage of morale, but he never thought that Takeda Shingen would give up his previous suspicion and suddenly use cold arrows and raid the Oda army's main formation, causing the Oda army to be disjointed. Oda Nobunaga had to opt out of Shirakuhara. Originally, the 15,000 Oda Army and the 3,500 Matsudaira Army were combined, but the Matsudaira family suffered less damage due to the attack on Kameyama Castle, and only more than 8,000 people of the Oda Army withdrew from Shirakuhara, and most of the rest were killed and captured.
Oda Nobunaga's troops fought for a day, and the soldiers were exhausted, but they had to hurry, and everyone knew that behind them, Takeda and Imagawa would not let them return safely to Owari Province, and if this army was completely destroyed, Owari would no longer be able to organize a decent army, and it would become an undefended country. What's more, no one wants to die, Oda Nobunaga originally wanted to organize men and horses to ambush the pursuing enemy troops, but he overestimated the will of his men to fight.
Even if Oda Nobunaga's reward is rich, it has to have a life to be able to enjoy it, and even his life is gone, and he always runs back to others to enjoy, and the child is beaten and scolded by others, who still has the heart to stay and fight hard, and buy time for the bigwigs of the Oda family to run away.
The sky was slightly dark, and Ii Naomori and Ii Naoto didn't expect the Oda army to run so fast, and most of the centaurs ran past them, looking at each other, knowing that they couldn't let them run, and once they got out of their field of vision, the gains outweighed the losses.
Ii Naomori led 800 Ii legions to appear on the flank of the fleeing Oda army, the Ii family has a territory of 120,000 koku, although it has been greatly weakened by Imagawa Yoshimoto and his vassals over the years, but still retains an army that can fight well.
Ii Naoqin shouted loudly: "Archer! Above! As he spoke, hundreds of ashigaru drew their bows and arrows, raised their left hand and their right arm with force, raised their bows in front of their eyes, glanced at their fingers, and with the buzzing sound of the bowstring vibrating, a long arrow rushed towards the dense Oda army.
Eight thousand Oda troops gathered in one street, the wilderness was full of heads, and the long arrows could be accurately shot as long as they were slightly aimed, although the night was approaching, but the crowd was too dense, and hundreds of long arrows instantly flew into a large wail.
There are not many cavalry in the Jing family, the rest are all infantry, and cavalry is a luxury except for a few horse-producing fields. However, the Jing family was able to keep the family business under the watchful eye of the wolves, relying on this brave and good infantry army.
Ii Naomori's troops obeyed the military order not to entangle the enemy, and they divided and surrounded the enemy at great speed, disrupted the enemy army, and then annihilated it. Ii Naomori is not here to work hard, why do you have to do your best for Imagawa Yoshimoto.
The bow and arrow of the Jing family are as fast and accurate as the eyes, and they are extremely sharp in the dark night, killing countless people.
Oda Nobunaga knew that as long as he stopped, he would crush this enemy army in a short time, but he knew that he couldn't stop now, and if he stopped, he would be entangled.
However, Oda Nobunaga also understood that even if the other party was entangled, it would not be easy for them to withdraw from the battlefield, and only by leaving a temple army could they give the main force time to retreat. Thinking of this, Oda Nobunaga looked at Sakuma Nobumori, who was known as the "retreating Sakuma" who had been guarding the left and right.
As soon as Sakuma Nobumori saw Oda Nobunaga's eyes, he knew what it meant, and knew that he couldn't dodge, so he might as well take the initiative to ask for battle, and stepped forward and said: "My lord, the minister is willing to serve as the queen of the palace, and our army is retreating towards Okazaki Castle while observing the movements of the Imagawa army." ā
Oda Nobunaga knows in his heart that he is worthy of Sakuma Nobumori, and he can always be as stable as Mount Tai at critical moments. Oda Nobunaga roared: "Okay, Hansuke, I will give you a thousand troops, and if you retreat while fighting, you will definitely block the enemy for a day or two, okay?!" ā
