Chapter Twenty-Six: The Battle of Nagashino Castle (End)
The night passed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Imagawa Yoshimoto's troops finished cleaning up the battlefield in Shirakuhara, turned on their horses, and continued on the road, he wanted to annihilate Oda Nobunaga as much as possible, and even if he could not completely annihilate Oda Nobunaga, he must retake Mikawa Province. Imagawa Yoshimoto did not set off, he still had important things to deal with, it was not cheap to ask Takeda Shingen to send troops to help, he wanted to defeat Oda Nobunaga as soon as possible, and then return to the division to help Takeda Shingen resist the invasion of Uesugi Kenshin. This time it was the joint action of the alliance of good temples, and Hojo Shiyasu was holding back Kenshin Uesugi.
The lord of Yinma Castle, Iio Renlong, led more than 1,700 people from the eastern river to line up in the first formation, and he led the army to advance cautiously, for fear of falling into the trap of Oda Nobunaga, knowing that the Oda army he was going to pursue still had seven or eight thousand people, several times his own.
The march was really not fast, otherwise it would not have waited until dawn to advance.
In the process of Iio Renlong's march, he considered the itinerary of Oda Nobunaga's retreat, if he was smart enough, he should have run to Okazaki Castle by now, with the strength of Okazaki Castle, it is difficult for him to win alone, and Imagawa Yoshimoto will not blame much.
The pelican hall chief who wore the guilty meritorious service accompanied him, he was the brother-in-law of Iiao Renlong, and the last time the border battle was lost and the general was reprimanded by Imagawa Yoshimoto, this time he was defeated again, and he didn't dare to come out, so he had to come to ask for the help of Iiao Renlong.
After the victory, Iio Renlong pleaded with Imagawa Yoshimoto to get forgiveness, but the death penalty can be avoided and the living crime is unforgivable, and it is indispensable to be reduced and changed after the war. Uden Nagasho is the nephew of Yoshimoto Imagawa, and as long as he lives, he has a chance to come again.
As if he had thought of a strange thing, he whipped his war horse, and went hand in hand with Iio Renlong, and said: "Brother-in-law, in the battle yesterday, no one from the beginning to the end of the Ozai Iya appeared, and my uncle can't get out of the negotiations with the Takeda family now. ”
Lianlong at the end of the meal haha: "How is it possible? Didn't you notify them and ask them to send troops, how dare you be so bold, and when the palace asks, you will have to plead with him when the time comes. "It turned out that informing Iiya to send troops was his deliberate delay.
The chief of the pelican hall looked at his eyelids and flattered: "Yes, yes, my brother-in-law is really a general who can support the boat in his belly, and he will repay his grievances with virtue." ”
The two of them played haha with each other, but in their hearts, they had already decided to kill the people of Jing Yi Valley, and it was best to kill the Jing Yi clan to the ground, so that Iio Renlong could fulfill his father's expectations and completely encroach on all the territory of the Jing family.
A sentry scout hurried back at this time, his face was panicked, and he exclaimed, "Something is good! Oda Nobunaga's rear team has been attacked! ”
The pelican hall chief didn't pay much attention, and it was not unusual for someone to attack at night in order to compete for merit. However, Lianlong saw that the sentinel's expression was nervous, his face turned pale, and he shouted, "Isn't it from Jing Yigu?" ”
The sentinel hurriedly said: "Yes, it is Ii Naomori of Ii Valley." ”
At the end of the meal, Lianlong heard that it was not good, asked a few questions, and hurriedly blew the horn. The originally slow queue immediately shouted and trotted forward, and Iio Renlong and Uden Nagashi led more than two hundred elites to take a step forward and kill Toyokawa Haradong.
But they arrived too late, and they saw a team of seven or eight hundred men silently harvesting the heads, collecting weapons and property, and everything seemed to be in order. The orange flags around them swayed, as if to mock their belatedness.
The pelican hall looked at the battlefield with a gloomy face, originally this victory should have belonged to him, but now it was stolen by the people of the Jing Yi family, how not to make him resentful, clenched his fists, turned his head to look at Iio Lianlong, and saw that Iio Lianlong's gloomy face seemed to be dripping.
Ii Naomori was dressed in black armor, his helmet had been taken off, his left hand pressed the hilt of the sword, and he sat steadily on a tall Shinano horse, looking at the feud from a distance across Toyokawa. Iiao Renlong is the knife of Imagawa Yoshimoto and cutting the I's family.
The sun had already risen, and the people of the Ii family had already seen the banner of the comer, and they all took up arms and assembled, and a slaughter spread on both sides of the Toyogawa River. Ibio's team also rushed over, and the Ii army did not have an advantage in numbers, but the Ii army, which had just experienced a bloody battle, far surpassed the opponent.
Ii Naomori lightly slapped the warhorse, moved two steps forward, raised a head hanging from the saddle, and shouted: "You guys are late, our army has destroyed three hundred and thirty-four ranks in one battle, and captured seven hundred and sixty people, this is the head of Shibata Katsuji, the general of Oda Nobunaga." I wish you all a victorious start and make persistent efforts, let's go! ”
As he spoke, he swaggered away.
Iio Renlong's face was extremely ugly, he knew that all his original ideas had been in vain, and with the credit in front of him, Ii Naomori would not only not be punished by Imagawa Yoshimoto, but would be rewarded by Imagawa Yoshimoto. "Let's move on!" ”
The chief of the pelican hall responded, and the two armies staggered by.
Ii Naomori looked at the back-and-forth Iio Renlong, and sneered: "The general of the Oda Army behind the palace yesterday shouldn't have gone far, right?!" ”
Jing Yi said with a wry smile: "It shouldn't have gone far, if it weren't for his hard work, we were afraid that our achievements last night would not be more than that, but the losses would not be so great, and nearly 100 people were killed in the counterattack, hey, they blindly rushed up, I'm afraid it's going to be bad?" ”
Jing Yi Naomori sneered: "What's the matter with us! Let's go, first go and hand over the battle merits, so as to be invincible. ”
……
Sakuma Nobumori gasped slightly and hid in a thatch, he finally took charge of the temple army several times yesterday, although he repelled the other party, the loss was not light, and now everyone is injured, hiding in the wilderness next to the road to rest.
For the death of Shibata Katsuji, Sakuma Nobumori was not so sad, dying on the battlefield was originally the fate that a samurai should have, not to mention how many colleagues died on the battlefield in the first battle of Shirakuhara, the deceased have passed away, and the living have to live.
A sentry reported: "My lord, the enemy is catching up!" ”
Sakuma Nobumori was angry, he glanced at the soldiers, and roared in a low voice: "I am Sakuma Nobumori, the captain of the right guard under Oda Nobunaga, life and death are determined by the sky, and today is the time for us to die, can you dare to fight with me?!" ”
"You dare to die and survive! Kill the enemy with me! Kill! ”
Sakuma Nobumori saw that the enemy had arrived in front of him, so he jumped up, raised his weapon and charged at the enemy, today is either you die or I die, and in an instant, several names were devoured, and everyone fought in Sakuma Nobumori's roar.
For a while, the end of the meal was in a hurry, and he didn't know what to do, but in the blink of an eye, he was ruthlessly crushed, leaving a corpse and a mess.
Sakuma Nobumori cut off the head of Iio Renlong with a single sword, and the battle of Nagashino Castle came to an end - Uden Nagasho survived again, fell into a broken ditch and pretended to be dead and fooled away.
