Yu Qiuping quickly headed north with 2,000 people and stopped at Daozhi Village, 600 meters away from Noragada. The people in Daozhi Village had long since fled because of the troops that had passed by before. There were not many people left in the whole village.
personal.
Yu Qiuping climbed onto the roof of the tallest three-story building in the village and looked northeast. He could see the Asai Army and the Rokkaku Army fighting on the corridor on the east bank of the Edogawa River and the west bank of the Uso River. Ryo Asai
Okamasa worked hard to direct his men to move closer to Norada, while the Hexagon Army commanded by Yamaoka Ketaka tried to outflank and annihilate the Asai Army. The Asai Army controlled a bridge over the Eto River and seemed to intend to pass through the Eto River and head toward
Retreat to the southwest and flee toward Norada.
"Let's set up defenses here in the village!" Yu Qiuping decided, "Put up the banner of Sansheng Turtle Shell and tell Mr. Asai Ryochi to retreat this way!"
After the messengers rode away, Yu Qiuping immediately asked his subordinates to familiarize themselves with the terrain of the village and prepare for deployment.
"The location of the village is very good. It blocks the only way from the river to the wild fields." Yu Qiuping stood on the roof and looked around at the terrain. "On the right is a small forest, and on the left is the village's paddy fields. They are all different.
A place that is easy to pass. As long as we hold this place, the Hexagonal Army will only have to avoid the front and take a long way to attack us." Yu Qiuping calculated, "If they find a long way around, some of us will go back to defend, and the other part will lead the way.
We can cause them a lot of trouble if they cannot form a battle formation in order to take a detour!"
"There are two main roads in the village, one running north-south and one running east-west, each about sixty feet long. In the four areas separated by the two roads, there are many people's houses." Yu Qiuping started to arrange the layout.
Said, "The second reserve team is responsible for guarding the main road. Now they are going to dismantle the houses, make simple wooden fences and barriers, and place them on the main road. At the same time, dig a few more trenches and fortify them layer by layer! The goal is to secure the main road.
You have to be unable to walk! You have to go fast! Kihei, Hanbei, Nibi’s brothers, I leave this to you!"
After Sanada Masayuki, Matsushita Karan and Erbi's officers took the order and left, Yu Qiupei began to arrange the content of the street battle.
"Brother, Nanosuke, Ichibi's brothers, during the street fighting, the Northeast District and the Northwest District are our main positions. You two are responsible for one, and each of you will take 500 people from Mitsubishi to familiarize yourself with the structure of the house and auxiliary troops.
Also let them find some wooden sticks and poles to join the battle!"
Maeda Toshiie and Honda Nanosuke immediately separated with two Ibi officers to familiarize themselves with the houses and alleys in the village.
Yu Qiuping set up the temporary headquarters in a three-story restaurant southwest of the central intersection of the village. All 100 archers were also mobilized to the restaurant for centralized use. He also asked the leaders of each unit to pay attention to their own flags, because
In street fighting, it was inconvenient to transmit information, and orders could only be conveyed by flags.
At six quarters, Yu Qiuping's village defense proposal was completed. After completing the defense, Sanada Masayuki and his 500 people were transferred back by Yu Qiuping to serve as the reserve team. He divided into two groups of 10 archers and 40 ashigaru,
Among the 10 soldiers, two ashigaru generals took them to the woods and farmland for surveillance.
At this time, Asai Ryochika also fled into the village in embarrassment with the remnants of less than a thousand people. However, as soon as he entered the village, he found that the road in front of him had been dug into holes, and there were wooden boards and fences horizontally and vertically, making it difficult to
Walking. Maeda Toshiie hurriedly guided them to retreat from the alley. After a short pause behind Yu Qiupei's headquarters, he arranged for them to go to Asai Nagamasa's horse seal to take orders. Asai Ryo kissed the front foot and Yamaoka Ketaka was behind.
Here it comes.
Itai Ueizuki is an ashigaru general of the Yamaoka family. He has always been known in the family for his bravery in battle. His swordsmanship is also famous even in Minamiomi. In the raid on the Asai army just now, it was he who was on the front line and killed the enemy.
The head of the Baibai family caused Baibaibei to collapse, thereby breaking up the formation of other small wealthy families. The head of the family also personally praised him on the battlefield, which was the supreme honor of a warrior. After that, they immediately crossed the river and pursued him.
He fought with Ryo Asai and killed all the ashigaru who were lagging behind along the way. Ryo Asai fled south in embarrassment. The head of the family said that as long as they follow this momentum and kill them, they can directly overwhelm the Asai family.
Array.
However, when they caught up to the small village of Daozhi Village, they had to stop.
"I'll go! Who dug up the village like this!" Itai Uezuki, who was rushing in front, looked at the unrecognizable dirt road in front of him, and was helpless for a moment. Behind every fence and wooden plank on the dirt road, there were Asai family ashigaru who were waiting, it seemed.
Not a good one.
"What are you doing standing still! Attack together, we have to rush to the battlefield!" Yamaoka Ketaka saw the team stagnant, and personally rode to the front line to urge, "The Nagahara family is responsible for the houses on the left, and the Nagata family is responsible for the houses on the right!
Our Yamaoka family attacks the street in front!" He shouted while waving his riding crop, "Quick! Quick! Quick!"
Under the supervision of Yamaoka Ketaka, the ashigaru of the Rokkaku family immediately swarmed up and invaded the village from all directions. As a samurai of the Yamaoka family, Itai Ueizuki immediately led his men to attack the enemies defending on the street. The street was not wide.
, only ten people were allowed to walk side by side, and that was the number that went into the attack. They rushed towards the defense line and began to try to move away the stones and fences. The Ashigaru of the Asai family behind the fence immediately thrust forward, affecting
Their transportation was not coordinated very well, and the spears were fired sparsely, but occasionally someone was stabbed down. Itai Ueizuki noticed that the Ashigaru of the Asai family seemed to have no fear and kept attacking through the fence, because the Hexagon Army Ashigaru
Already working on removing obstacles rather than attacking them.
The Asai family's ashigaru did not realize that they were standing too close to the fence, and the fence had lost its significance as a cover. Itai Ueizuki seized an opportunity, rolled forward and rushed forward, slashing three times in succession, crossing the fence.
He stabbed three Asai ashigaru to death through the gap between them. He pushed forward and pushed the fence sideways, forcing the Asai ashigaru behind the fence to retreat continuously. The Rokkaku ashigaru took the opportunity to swarm up and stabbed them.
After killing several Asai Ashigaru behind the fence, they stepped on the fence and continued to move forward.
However, before Itai Ueizuki could call the people behind him to follow him, he heard the sound of sharp arrows being fired. Almost relying on his instinct of licking blood with the blade of a knife after more than ten years of life and death, Itai Ueue suddenly lowered his head and put his head on his head.
His helmet was shot away by two feather arrows at once, and the three subordinates who were following him were immediately shot to the ground by more than a dozen feather arrows. He quickly glanced at the direction of the arrows, which was the center of the village.
There are dozens of archers shooting at a tall building, half of them are shooting at themselves, and the other half are shooting at the army gathered outside the village.
"Bring the planks and door panels over here!" Itai Ueizuki hid behind the sign of a small roadside shop to avoid the incoming arrows. He called his men to hurry up and get their protective armor. At this time, the Rokkaku family's bows and arrows
The hand also rushed to the entrance of the village and began to suppress the Asai family's archers. For a while, the threat of the arrow rain was no longer so great, and the Ashigaru of the Rokkaku Army launched another attack.
However, the further they hit the front of the street, the more resistance they encountered. From the buildings on both sides, Ashigaru members of the Asai family would come out from time to time and attack the rear of the attacking troops with various weapons. And on the high-rise building
The archers are becoming more and more of a threat to them.
"What are the people in the houses on both sides talking about! Why is there no one covering our flanks!" Itai Ueizuki ran back to the village entrance angrily and asked other ashigaru generals to strengthen the street fighting offensive on both wings. Just now Itai Ue Tsukuba
There was a raid in which several of his men died in the houses on the side. Tsukuba Itai sent people to pursue it, but the effect was not good. "I have killed many brothers!"
"Damn it! Do you think we think about it? Do you think we haven't killed anyone? Your brother's life is human, but ours is not?" Several Ashigaru generals responsible for the two-wing attack cursed, "Look there!"
Itai looked along their arms and saw fierce fighting sounds coming from a house near the front of the living area on both sides. A moment later, another body of the Rokkaku family was thrown from the window of the house.
Come out. The onlookers of the Rokkaku Ashigaru family looked at the half-man-high corpses piled up in front of the door, and were stunned that no one dared to continue the attack.
"Who is it? Did it all happen by one person! What's there to be afraid of!" Itai Uezuki held the knife in his hand and angrily walked towards the house to the east. "Itai-sama is right, what are you afraid of!"
Another Ashigaru general named Shimada Junichiro was also famous for his martial arts. He also drew his sword in his hand majestically and walked towards the west room, "Sir Itai, let's see who can kill the enemy first!"
"good!"
Itai Uezuki strode to the pile of corpses on the east side, snorted coldly, and waved his sword in the expectant eyes of the ashigaru of the Hexagon Army around him.
"Look! It's Itai-sama!" "That kid in these rooms is really tired!" The Rokkaku Ashigaru suddenly cheered, which couldn't help but make Itai's blood boil. Such a feeling of being watched by everyone is a must for everyone who excels in martial arts.
The samurai's dream.
"Who is there! Don't you dare to use your name! It will be recorded in my credit book by the army!" Itai Uezuki shouted proudly, and the surrounding Hexagon Army Ashigaru immediately burst into cheers!
"Honda Nabenosuke." An emotionless male voice sounded from inside. Although he tried hard to sound majestic, it was not difficult to tell that this was still a half-year-old child.
"Still a little kid?" Itai Uezuki sneered and walked into the house with square steps, "Get out of here, don't kill the kid."
"Please enlighten me." Honda Nanosuke, wearing his father's shabby clothes, ignored the other party's provocation at all, just raised the blood-stained knife and responded silently.
"Good boy!" Tsukuru Itai suddenly became interested when he saw the other party's neither humble nor arrogant attitude. He looked around the narrow room and saw that there wasn't much room to move around. It was probably a competition of strength.
He took a big step forward, took a deep breath, held the knife in both hands, and struck a powerful and heavy blow. Honda Nanosuke did not dodge, holding the knife horizontally with his right hand to block. The moment the blades collided, he
He flicked his wrist in the opposite direction, and the huge force immediately shook Itai Uezuki and caused him to retreat.
"So much strength with one hand! Is it a monster?" Itai Ueizuki was shocked. The jaws and wrists of both hands were shocked to the point of pain, but the opponent did not move at all. The huge disparity in strength suddenly shattered his psychology.
, this man who has experienced more than ten battles, but at this moment, even the courage to fight has been taken away from his body. He understands that the child standing in front of him may not be a warrior, but a monster!
Honda Nanosuke still had a cold murderous look on his face, and he slowly walked towards Itai Uezuki step by step. Every footsteps sounded like the bell of death was ringing, and Itai Uezuki looked at it with a dull look.
Honda Nabenosuke was approaching, but it was difficult to summon up the energy to fight him no matter what.
Suddenly, from the west, the screams of Junichiro Shimada were heard, as well as a free and uninhibited male voice, complaining loudly: "It's not fun to use samurai swords! If you can hold my big gun, hundreds of them,
I can swallow it all!”
Junichiro, is he...dead?
The next thing Tsuki Itai heard was his own wail.
"Are you Nagahara and Nagata families fools? If you can't take down this house, then attack other houses first! There are hundreds of houses here, so there aren't necessarily weird people everywhere!"
Knowing that the offensive was not going well, Yamaoka Keitaka personally went to the front line and began to take command, allowing the Rokkaku Ashigaru to attack the village from all directions. However, the Asai Ashigaru in the village took advantage of being familiar with the terrain in advance and resisted step by step, making it difficult for the Rokkaku Army to move forward.
The defense on the official road in front is equally tenacious. The constant firing of arrows upstairs is even more troublesome.
In desperation, Yamaoka Keitaka asked the Rangers to take a detour through the difficult terrain on both sides of the woods and farmland, but they were discovered by the surveillance troops arranged by Yu Qiupei. Afterwards, Sanada Masayuki led some archers to the paddy fields and shot down a large number of people.
In the muddy paddy fields, they also sent people to the forest to harass them continuously, making the Yamaoka family's outflanking troops miserable.
There are more than 4,000 Hexagonal Army, but at this moment, 2,000 Asai Army are blocked in Daozhi Village by relying on the village, making it difficult to move forward. Yamaoka Ketaka was forced to give up the plan to quickly capture the village, and instead let the main force continue to attack and contain the main force of Asai Army, so that
The troops of the Nagata family and the Nagahara family took a long detour.
"Sent a messenger to report to His Highness Rokkaku that our unit was blocked in Daozhi Village and may not be able to reach the battlefield in time. We defeated the Baibai Family and the Mita Village Family before, and what appeared in front of us were 2,000 people from the troops directly under the Asai Family. Our department guarantees that we will definitely
Contain the enemy troops and prevent them from evacuating smoothly!" Yamaoka Ketaka had no choice but to send messengers to Rokkaku Yoshiken.
The crisis behind the Asai Army was resolved.
"Finally we can hold on, and we can still survive." Yu Qiuping looked at the Hexagonal Army that changed its policy and let out a sigh of relief.
