"Your Highness! This... plan has changed," Naoe Tadayei hurriedly asked Yu Qiuping, "What are your Highness's plans?"
"I can't contact His Highness Sena here!" Yu Qiuping swallowed, "God knows that Oda Nobunaga actually bumped into him. After that, His Highness Sena can only make his own decision on the command on that side."
"Send the order! Stay hidden and don't act rashly!" Yu Qiuping lowered his voice and said, "Continue to face the northwest and face the direction of the Oda army with your side."
On the other side of the hill, Sena Ujitoshi commanded his men and pushed the sedan and horse seal forward to the slope. The surrounding ashigaru were surrounding them for cover.
At five moments, the Oda Army in the low-lying area on the east side of Tianraku Hazama, led by the Mother Cloth Squadron and the Horseback Squadron, launched a fierce attack on the Imagawa Yoshimoto Main on the top of the east hill. Because on the slope There were a lot of rocks and shrubs, making it difficult for horses to walk. Therefore, the Oda family's mother-in-law and horseback tribes left their horses at the foot of the hills, dismounted and fought on foot, shouting and rushing up the hills. Another group of people rushed up to the hills at Shibata Katsuie. Under the leadership of the army, they blocked the counterattack of the Imagawa army, which consisted of less than 1,000 troops in the low-lying area under the hills.
The Sena archers on the hills sprayed firepower from a high position, causing great difficulties to the Oda army attacking from the rear.
Sasaki Narimasa is currently fighting on the front line. Since his brother was captured by Yu Qiupei's subordinates two years ago, he has been holding his breath against the Imagawa family, wishing he could get revenge immediately. However, during the Zenshoji Temple last year, During the battle, he was defeated again by Yu Qiupei. Because of his reckless attack, the Sakuma family and the Sasa family each had part of their land confiscated. This made his resentment towards the Imagawa family even more intense.
In this surprise attack by Okehazama, as a member of the Black Mother Clothes, he has been working hard and charging at the front line without avoiding arrows, eager to personally kill the Imagawa family samurai to wash away his shame.
However, things went against his wishes. Originally, he had the highest honor - to win over the Imagawa family's governor, Imagawa Yoshimoto. However, he suddenly fell to the bottom - the one he killed was just a little-known Kagemusha. And the army of the family seemed to be He also fell into an ambush by the Imagawa family.
The situation is already very clear. The 1,000 main formations of the Imagawa Army that had just been in a rout had now formed silently in the distance, and the auxiliary troops behind them no longer scattered in all directions, but carefully gathered together behind the soldiers. If according to the information of Kada's political platform, there are still two thousand soldiers outside the hills at this moment, and they will definitely enter Tianrakuhama along the corridor of the hills - when the reinforcements arrive, the Oda army will definitely be defeated. Narumi Castle's The way back is still cut off, so the whole army is expected to be annihilated here.
Now the only chance for the Oda family to win is to defeat Imagawa Yoshimoto, who has only 800 soldiers at his side, before the Imagawa family's reinforcements arrive, thereby gaining a glimmer of hope for the army.
Therefore, he casually threw away the head he had finally obtained with great difficulty and went to the front line again.
At this moment, Sasaki Narimasa was carefully holding a shield and hiding next to a bush to protect his body. Another rain of arrows came, and Sasa Narimasa felt two or three arrows stuck firmly on the shield. The huge force made his arm hurt. As soon as the rain of arrows passed, he immediately raised his shield and rushed forward with a shout. Other Oda family samurai and Ashigaru also took advantage of the Imagawa family archery team's time to bend their bows and set arrows. , move towards the top of the mountain, and then look for obstacles to hide again.
As the Imagawa family's archers continued to lose strength, the interference to the Oda family's mountain-attacking troops became weaker and weaker. The Oda family's troops had already rushed to the top of the mountain. Sena Ujitoshi immediately ordered the archers to retreat, allowing the melee ashigaru to attack.
Go forward. The Oda family's troops have already become red-eyed and are heading towards Imagawa Yoshimoto's horse seal and sedan chair. A large number of peripheral troops poured into the low-lying areas of Tianraku Hazama and fought towards the mountains. The team was in the hills.
A long corridor stretched out. One end was still blocked outside the hill, and the other end was almost reaching the eastern top of the southern section of the hill. Although Sena Bei was not at a disadvantage in terms of the number of people fighting head-on, he was still there.
Continuously shrink the defensive line and retreat - retreat down the top of the hill in an orderly manner.
"Sena-sama, what are you doing!" Yu Qiuping watched in stunned silence as Sena Shitoshi not only failed to remove the horse seals and sedan chairs, but also ordered his own troops to withdraw, allowing the Oda army to get closer and closer to the hills to the east.
.
"If the Oda family is allowed to ascend to the commanding heights, all the arrangements will be -" Yu Qiuping stood there blankly, wanting to say something else, but could not say anything. "Could it be that... His Highness Sena has other plans?
"
Sasanagi Masaru charged at the front line, and while Senabei was adjusting his deployment, he rushed forward with several people around him. Senabei Azigaru, who was caught off guard, kept retreating and regrouping in order to maintain the integrity of the battle line, but he didn't know it.
Why, there was a sudden break in the battle line. Sasaki Namasa and his men seized the opportunity and rushed into the battle. The spear ashigaru was no match for the samurai and retreated hurriedly under the cover of the mounted samurai and the Hatamoto samurai, but Imagawa Yoshi
However, Yuan's sedan was exposed in front of the Oda family. What was even more surprising was that none of the ashigaru and samurai of the Sena family paid any attention to Imagawa Yoshimoto's sedan! Instead, they retreated straight down the hillside.
"This..." Sasaki Naimasa sensed something was wrong, and watched the Sena Ashigaru in front of him retreat like a tide, getting out of the way of the top of the east hill. He led a few people, rushed to the top, and chopped down Imagawa Yoshimoto with one knife.
The horse prints were lifted and the curtain of the sedan was opened - there was no one in the sedan. The horse prints fell down and hit the ground heavily, raising clouds of smoke and dust.
After the smoke cleared, Sasanagi Masa and several other Oda troops who were the first to reach the top of the hilly slopes were stunned and stared to the east. What they saw in front of them was not the deserted plain they had imagined.
.
I saw a large camp with over 10,000 people, standing silently on the plain east of Tongzhajian. People in the camp who could not be seen outside were reinforcing the fortifications. 2000 should have appeared at the entrance of Tianlezhajian in the distance.
The troops under the direct control of the Imagawa family have already formed up in front of them. They are marching with great strides at this moment, preparing to climb over the hills on the right side of Tianraku Hazama, climb to the top of the long and narrow slope of the hills, launch an attack from top to bottom, and directly attack the people in the area.
The Oda Army in the long low-lying corridor was defeated in one fell swoop. The Imagawa Army on the south side of the low-lying corridor also immediately launched a counterattack against Shibata Katsuie's troops in front of them.
Attacked from two sides, with inferior troops, incorrect formation, and unfavorable terrain, the Oda family was bound to lose.
The Oda troops who were still in the low-lying areas preparing to attack the top of the hills were surprised to find that their companions who had already reached the top of the mountain were waving and shouting desperately, as if they wanted to convey some message to them.
However, they did not have to be confused for long. Soon, a large number of troops directly under the Imagawa family crossed the eastern hills, and flags with two flags and two flags appeared in the sight of the Oda family. The 2,000-strong army of the Imagawa family was standing condescendingly.
, starting from the hilly slopes, fighting against the Oda army in the low-lying areas.
Most of the Oda troops, who were spread out like a long snake, were in a marching formation, waiting in line to attack the place where the Imagawa family's horse seal had been. At this moment, facing the sudden flank attack from the Imagawa family, they were caught off guard and were suddenly thrown into disarray.
"Your Highness! You fell into the trap! The second horse seal is also a fake!" Sasaki Narimasa pushed aside all the ashigaru in front of him regardless, and ran all the way to Oda Nobunaga, "The main force of the Imagawa family is not here at all.
The entrance to Okezama Hills is on the east side! We fell into a trap!"
"It's terrible." Oda Nobunaga looked at the almost unmanageable situation in front of him - the team was too long, and there was no depth on the side. It was impossible to resist the flanking attack from the Imagawa family. And this narrow hilly area was originally a problem for the Imagawa family.
However, due to the deep penetration of the Oda Army, the Oda family was restricted from any formation mobilization and troop concentration. Once the Imagawa family was allowed to invade the low-lying area, the long snake-shaped Oda Army would be immediately cut into several pieces.
The sections were unable to communicate with each other, and Oda Nobunaga, who was in the innermost position, could not escape. It was impossible to evacuate along the low-lying corridor of Okezama.
"The whole army immediately retreats towards the hills in the southwest! Climb the hills in the southwest and retreat separately!" Oda Nobunaga was so anxious that he issued such an order. He gave up the control and organization of the troops, and instead asked all the troops to retreat.
The Ashigaru and the samurai each climbed over the hills to escape. He knew what the loss of the organic field troops meant to the Oda family, but he had no other choice.
But he didn't know that behind the southwest hillside was the long-awaited Tokiwa Bei. The Oda family's last retreat had already been sealed.
"You must have been fooled." At this moment, Yu Qiupei, who was standing on the top of the hilly slope on the southwest side, smiled confidently and looked at the Oda army rolling away from the east. "His Royal Highness Sena's troops and the troops under the direct jurisdiction are hammers. I
Tokiwabi was made of iron plates. We swung the hammers, scaring the Oda army into running towards the hard iron plate, and then hammered them completely on the iron plate!"
"According to the first plan - everyone - turn to the right!" Yu Qiuping ordered loudly, and the maple bird flag immediately waved. As the various ashigaru generals and ashigaru heads passed the order level by level, one by one
Tokiwabei's team turned around and faced the top of the hill to the northeast.
"Although the Oda family's actions have deviated from what was expected, no matter how the situation changes, we are still in an invincible position. Because, as long as nothing happens to His Highness, the family governor, the Oda family's surprise attack has failed."
"Whether it's a shadow warrior or an empty sedan, they are nothing but bait." All plans were under his control. He used history to lead powerful enemies into ambush traps and played with them in the middle of applause. At this moment, Yu Qiuping suddenly felt passionate and learned.
In the same manner as Imagawa Yoshimoto, he snapped his fingers and pointed his index finger directly at Tianraku Hazama under the hills.
"His Royal Highness, the family governor, is not at Okehazama at all. Even if there is an accident in Okehazama and they are completely defeated, His Highness, the family governor, is still unscathed. As long as Narumi Castle's troops cut off Oda Nobunaga's retreat, we will still win a complete victory!"
"This is my perfect strategy." Yu Qiuping pumped his fist excitedly and laughed loudly.
Chapter completed!
