Chapter 14: Chaotic Battle
Six days have passed since Mikumo Narimochi, Gamo Kenhide and others crossed the Fuhiki Mountains and captured Suzuka Pass, and four days have passed since Miyazawa Heihachi led his army to attack Ise Province, which is well known to everyone from the surrounding Ise Province to the northern and southern Ise capitals. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info waited until the news that the Date Army crossed the Iga Province and appeared in Aoyama Pass, but anyone with a little IQ knew that the Wise Army was finished, and under the attack of the Date army, it would be useless for the wise Mitsuhide to be a wise saint warrior who had been on the battlefield for a long time.
After nearly 1,000 men and horses followed Mizoo Shigeru to cross the river and attack Okochi Castle, the number of soldiers in the Nagano Formation remaining outside the wooden castle was much smaller and deserted. That night, the flickering lights around the tent flickered as the sea breeze blew. The shadows cast on the tent twisted with teeth and claws, like a fierce ghost, trying to choose people to devour.
The head of the Nagano family, Nagano Fuji, sat on the main seat, his solemn face was now hideous and distorted, and the expression on his face was not much different from that of a ghost, and he roared in a low voice: "Akechi Mitsuhide deceived me, these days, the Date army has been coming in a steady stream, and my life and death are already on the line, and now I am still staying in the wooden city, what should I do next?" Although his voice was full of resentment, the volume was still kept as low as possible by Nagano Fujita, who knows if there are still informers inside and outside the barracks.
Hosono Fujimitsu, who had been insisting on waiting for the opportunity, was torn by a series of changes, he glanced at everyone's expressions, knew that something could not be done, and stepped forward and said: "Lord, then should the personnel who followed Mizoo Shigeru to set off be recalled, and under what pretext?" Everyone was silent for a moment, the Nagano family dispatched more than 2,000 people this time, there were still eight or nine hundred people left in the array, and nearly 1,200 people followed by Mizoo Shigeru, if they turned against now, then the people who were not notified would be in danger.
This is also the reason why Nagano Fujitashi did not dare to make up his mind to make a mistake, and he was still waiting for the situation to deteriorate again, waiting for Mizuo Shigetomo to return to the wooden castle, and then the men and horses would be in order. Nagano had the bargaining chips.
While they were whispering about how to inform the men and horses of the expedition, the curtain of the tent was slammed open!
Everyone was shocked, and when they looked back, they saw that a group of soldiers in armor and swords had blocked the door, and there was a chaotic sound of soldiers fighting and soldiers screaming miserably outside the tent, and Mizoo Shigerao, who was supposed to attack, walked in, glanced at them, and grinned: "What a coincidence, the head of the Nagano Kudo family and the elders of the family are here, so there is no need to go door to door to look for it!" ”
In the main tent of the Nagano Army, the soldiers of the Wise Army rushed in, showed their blades, and surrounded the Nagano family governors and elders who were gathering, and the originally spacious main tent suddenly narrowed.
Nagano Fujita's face turned pale, how could he not see that Mizuo Shigeru was not good, he got up and shouted: "Katsubei, who gave you the courage to dare to send troops to surround me, etc., you must know that I am the son-in-law of your lord, and I am an ally." ”
The faces of Hosokawa Fujimitsu and Yunlin Yuan Yuki and others also became very ugly, and they breathed heavily, how could they not see that the development of the situation had completely lost control, completely beyond their expectations, what would happen next, whether it was life or death, they had no idea, they could only wait for the judgment of the heavens.
Akechi Mitsuhide's cruelty and bloodshed shocked and frightened the people of the Kudo family in Nagano, who had completely forgotten that they had been discussing how to turn against each other, and now they wanted to blame the other party for not being in accordance with the rules.
The trapped beast is still fighting, Yunlin Yuan Yuki glanced at Hosokawa Fujimitsu, he never wanted to tie his hands down, he knew that if he didn't fight back, he was afraid that there would be no good end, anyway, it was death, it was better to fight to the death. Hosokawa Fujimitsu shook his head at him.
The reason why Hosokawa Fujimitsu shook his head was that they still had the bargaining chips to fight back, and there were nearly seven or eight hundred people outside the camp, and there were two or three thousand men in total, and these people would inevitably besiege them once they learned that their formation was attacked, and it was still unknown who would win and who would lose.
Mizuo Shigeru looked young and vigorous, he glanced at the people in the camp, and beckoned to Hosokawa Fujimitsu with a smile: "Hosokawa Fujimitsu, thank you for informing us of the Nagano family's movements, come with me, the lord will be rewarded!" ”
Nagano Fujita's eyes looked at Hosokawa Fuji Hikaru with a bewildered face, and everyone also turned around and glared at him, sure that he betrayed everyone, otherwise why did he repeatedly prevent everyone from turning against him, it would have to wait until now.
Hosokawa Fujimitsu couldn't wash it when he jumped into Ise Bay this time, he wanted to argue strongly, Nagano Fujitashi and others had been escorted out of the main camp one by one by Mizoo Shigerao, but he was stopped by Mizoo Shigeru.
Hosokawa Fujimitsu glared angrily at Mizoo Shigerao, if he hadn't been disarmed, he was afraid that he would have slashed it with a knife. He glared at Mizoo Shigeru and shouted, "Mizoo Shigerao, you shameless bastard, I won't forgive you even if I'm a ghost." ”
Mizuo Shigeru glanced up at him, his eyes showing contempt, but he quickly regained his composure and said with a smile: "Now the Nagano family knows from top to bottom that you betrayed them, and they can't wait to eat your flesh and drink your blood, and when we occupy Ise Province for a day, you and your family will be safe, and you can also become the governor of the Nagano Kudo family, if I am defeated, you will be pointed out by the clan Qianfu in the blink of an eye, and you will be killed in the city!" Do you have any other way out now than to take refuge in my father-in-law? ”
Hosokawa Fujimitsu's face was distorted, and his heart was full of twists, and finally he gritted his teeth and asked, "What do you want me to do?" ”
Mizuo Shigeru said with a smile: "It's very simple, pick out the obedient soldiers of the Nagano Army, and follow us and others into battle!" ”
Hosokawa Fujimitsu's face tightened and said, "You want a field battle?!" ”
Mizuo Shigeru was about to reply, when suddenly he saw a fire rising from the fortress left on the other side of the Yunide River, "Knock knock! The thunderous sound of the drums, as if the earth was shaking, slammed into Mizoo Shigerao's heart, causing him to fall from heaven to hell.
Drum alarm! Mizoo Shigeru was shocked, opened his mouth and let out a strange scream, and then rushed out of the camp tent, the other side of the cloud out of the river was as bright as day, the sky-high fire reflected half of the night sky, and there was even billowing smoke into the sky, and the air was filled with a scorching and pungent smell of burning.
Mizuo Shigeru shouted, "Go and see, what's going on?" ”
Hosokawa Fujimitsu looked at the flustered Mizoo Shigerao, his face was full of hideousness.
Mizoo Shigeru received an order from Akechi Mitsuhide, and he traveled lightly and lightly, with a small number of elite men and horses, to raid the Nagano army formation, and at the same time arranged for his cronies to lead a large army to guard the thousands of Nagano soldiers who followed him into battle, and placed them on the other side of the Yunide River. At that time, even if someone from the Nagano family escaped from the siege, it would be impossible to cross the cloud and Izukawa at night to seek help from the army, so it would give Mizoo Shigeru more time to deal with it, and he believed that everything would be fine.
However, the situation now seen is that the military fortress is on fire, and the sound of war drums is chaotic, and it is clear that it has been attacked. If the army on the other side of the Yunide River is completely annihilated, then don't talk about your own head, even if all the heads of the wise army will fall to the ground.
The wooden castle has not been repaired, and it is still dilapidated, not to mention the raid on the Nagano Formation by Mizoo Shigeru, and the Nagano family, who was originally unconvinced, was in chaos again, and it was a mess for a while.
Mizuo Shigeru rushed up to the watchtower, the scene in front of him made his soul scatter, the only remaining bit of luck was shattered in an instant, he saw that the military camp on the other side of the Yunde River was also in chaos, the camp tent in the barracks was swallowed by the rolling flames, and the fire took advantage of the wind, roaring and raging.
On the three sides of the barracks, there were all neatly arranged troops, and the number of Wuyang and Wuyang could not be seen clearly, as if all of them were people, and from time to time a burst of rockets flew into the barracks, and the only place where there was no one on one side was the direction of Yundechuan.
The suddenness of the incident, the lack of superiority in numbers, and the flames and fighting sounds of the Nagano army formation that first appeared on the north bank, made the people on the south bank think that the north bank was under attack, and they did not know that they would also be attacked by the army.
In the chaos, shouts of killing, footsteps, and cries were drowned out in the rumbling sound of water.
Mizuo Shigeru knew that it was over, and the 2,500 people he left on the other side were all finished, and even if he could swim across the Yunide River, it would be difficult to pick up the blade again in a short time, and he would be regarded as a wasted person. He was horrified and felt a sense of suffocation from heaven to hell.
The clouds are out of the south bank of the river.
Matsushima Hengkatsu looked surprised and said to the Kuroda Kanbei beside him, "This is the army of Akechi Mitsuhide, why is there such a big difference?" He looked at the chaotic military formation with no intention of counterattacking and was full of doubts, originally thought that it would be a close battle, but did not expect that it would be a one-sided slaughter.
Kuroda Kanbei had seen Akechi Mitsuhide's army, and it was still under Ashikaga Yoshiteru, even after fleeing to Hanoi Province, it was a very warlike elite, but what they encountered now was really Akechi Mitsuhide's army? Matsushima Hengsheng was puzzled, and Kuroda Kanbei was also puzzled, he pointed to the north shore and said: "This matter can only be understood after the war, but what happened on the other side?" ”
Matsushima Hengkatsu and Kuroda Kanbei arranged for a long time before they had a good opportunity, because of the blockage of the Yunide River, they arranged some men and horses at several nearby shoals, and there was no plan to attack the other bank, but the other side was the first to break out in conflict.
The corners of Matsushima Hengsheng's mouth grinned: "Solve the trouble in front of you first, and then worry about the rest!" ”
By dawn, the war was over, and those who should have fled fled, and it was July, and the weather was very warm, and the Yunide River was not a turbulent river, and it was not impossible to swim across, leaving only the corpses and equipment all over the camp, and even the seriously wounded were abandoned.
