"Ouch, it seems that our Lord Oda is in big trouble." At this moment, Asakura Yoshikage, who had been working as a foreigner at the foot of Higashiyama Mountain for most of the day, discovered that a large number of Miyoshi troops came out of Toji Temple and crossed the Kamogawa River.
Directly driving towards the unguarded Otowa Mountain. And Kyoto, which was captured by Oda Nobunaga just far away, broke out in fire again, so we knew that Oda Nobunaga was in a bad situation.
"Then lord, what should we do?" Yuzumi Jinggu asked listlessly, yawning from exhaustion after standing aside for a whole day.
"What else can we do? Just withdraw." Asakura Yoshikage heard this and sneered, "If we don't withdraw, won't he be able to outflank us from a high position when the repairman Miyoshi captures Otowa Mountain? I don't want to fight for that bumpkin.
The main force of the Xia Sanhao family. He is so awesome and sent us to the edge. Then he can fight on his own. What does it have to do with me?"
After saying that, Asakura Yoshikage waved his hand and led the 6,000 soldiers of the Asakura family to return along the original road after a day of autumn outing and withdrew back to Yamashina.
As for the position of the Sanhao Army that faced him.
"Everything is just as His Highness Anzai expected." Seeing that Asakura Yoshikage actually didn't fight at all, Araki Murashige led his troops to retreat, and complimented Anzai Fuyangyasu in a tone of great admiration: "Your Highness is really good at predicting things.
"
"It's not that we know how to predict things, we just know how to predict people." Anzhai Fuyang silently shook his head, indifferent to Araki Murashige's compliment, "We are seamen, we are used to seeing wind and waves, and we have some understanding of human hearts."
"Let's go, go to Otoyu Mountain immediately and make peace with the Lord." Anzhai Fuyang nodded towards Araki Murakami, who immediately turned around to assemble his own troops, but did not notice the way Anzhai Fuyang looked at him.
It was exactly the same as the look in his eyes when he looked at Matsunaga Hide's back.
At the same time, the main force of the coalition forces was chased to the east bank of the Kamogawa River by Ichitoshi Tokawa. However, Nagamasa Asai immediately sent Eagle Bei to block several ferries and bridgeheads of the Kamogawa River, and chased Ichitoshi Tokawa.
The troops blocked the west bank of Kamogawa River, buying time for the main force of the coalition forces to restore their organization and reorganize their formation.
·
Compared with them, the situation at Otowa Mountain seems more dangerous. In total, there are no more than 50 combatants in the entire Otowa Mountain. Basically, the only ones left are the messengers and some of Oda Nobunaga's female soldiers.
At this moment, 6,000 soldiers from the Miyoshi family and 3,000 soldiers from further away are rushing here. Most of these left-behind personnel were frightened and did not dare to resist at all, so they abandoned Otonyu Mountain and fled towards the main camp to the east.
.
Ame Qiupei originally requested that the formation send troops from Minami Omi as reinforcements, but Ashikaga Yoshiteru refused on the grounds that "the troops cannot be sent without His Highness Oda's order"! The situation is now in chaos, and Oda Nobunaga cannot be contacted at all.
Where did the order from Oda Nobunaga come from? Ua Qiupei knew that Ashikaga Yoshiteru was avenging his personal revenge, in order to retaliate against the fact that Ua Qiupei had wiped out the Rokkaku family in Omi for "not retreating without Oda Nobunaga's order"
. But at this moment, no matter how angry he was, he had no choice but to send an envoy again to appeal to Ashikaga Yoshiteru Akatsuki to reason and move him emotionally - this was a matter of concern to the lives of tens of thousands of coalition soldiers! Ashikaga Yoshiteru finally finally
He compromised and sent a large amount of armor and ordnance to Yu Qiuping.
Yu Qiuping had no choice but to continue directing his project construction in full swing - he converted Nanzen Temple into a large bastion. All the one-foot-wide areas adjacent to the narrow courtyard walls were raised with earth and stones.
, so high that when a person stands on this elevated foundation, his arms can just reach out of the courtyard wall. In this way, it can be simulated as a city, using the courtyard wall as a wall stack, and this elevated foundation as a city wall. The courtyard wall
It is one foot and a half high, which is definitely high enough for a wall. At that time, people will stand on this foundation, using the courtyard wall as a cover, and guard the city from a high position. And for the convenience of going up and down, Yu Qiuping will be there at intervals.
Stairs were built next to the foundation. As for the several gates of the temple, Yu Qiuping felt that there would be no chance of leaving the city to fight back anyway, so he simply blocked them all with stones.
In order to protect the road safety behind Nanzen Temple, Yu Qiuping also built two small bastions behind Nanzen Temple according to Itami Yasuki's drawings. The height is slightly lower than Nanzen Temple, but the shape is taller than Nanzen Temple.
As a standard, they are two concave polygons with many edges and corners. These two bastions, together with Nanzen Temple, form a structure with the word "pin".
Outside Nanzen Temple and the two bastions, Yu Qiuping also dug a trench half a man deep along the wall. Outside the trench, he used the excavated soil to build a simple earthen wall half a man high as a defense.
fortifications.
However, Yu Qiuping's 800 soldiers and 50 cavalry alone would definitely not be able to defend the three bastions. For this reason, Yu Qiuping took all the 1,600 auxiliary soldiers from the Yu Qiu family out of the queue and asked them to use temporary
Ordnance, bows and arrows, and bamboo guns were collected. In order to create more long-range weapons for the auxiliary soldiers, Yu Qiuping also took thousands of the tens of thousands of auxiliary soldiers who were building fortifications to go to Dawen Mountain to chop bamboo and tree trunks and cut them into javelins.
At the same time, many small and medium-sized stones were packed in baskets and used as throwing weapons for the auxiliary soldiers.
However, although the construction of the bastion and the collection of weapons were almost completed, they still needed time. However, the Miyoshi family had already arrived at the foot of Otoyu Mountain.
"It's the last six minutes..." Yu Qiuping glanced at the sky and made a rough estimate, "I still need two quarters of an hour... but it only takes a quarter of an hour for the Three Good Army to cross Yinyu Mountain and reach Nanzen Temple..."
I have to find a way to block the Sanhao family for a quarter of an hour...but how can I block it?
Yu Qiuping looked around blankly, but his eyes suddenly fell on Honda Tadakatsu. A sense of trust and confidence suddenly surged out of his heart. Yu Qiuping patted Honda Tadakatsu on the shoulder and faced him.
He said in a deep voice: "Nanosuke! I will hand over my cavalry platoon to you. You can find a way to block the Miyoshi family on Otowa Mountain! It will only take a quarter of an hour!"
This is an almost impossible order to complete - because Yu Qiuping's cavalry platoon only has 50 people. And the Sanhao Army they want to block still has nearly 10,000 people. However, just as Yu Qiuping expected, Honda
Zhongsheng just bowed sharply, without any hesitation, and said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Yes!"
·
"Lord Honda, how should we act?" Honda Tadakatsu led the cavalry on the wide mountain road of Mount Otowa, stirring up smoke and dust all the way. Behind him, Kobata Kitsheng had always admired Honda Tadakatsu's bravery, even though he had the same rank as him.
Ping, still asked very respectfully.
"Look at me." Honda Tadakatsu still didn't say much, and just said these three words lightly. The people behind him didn't know what was going on, but they still chose to believe in the samurai who had always been the most reliable in their army.
When everyone drove through the twists and turns of the mountain road and finally jumped to the plain on the top of the mountain, the scene in front of them immediately made Tokiwabei's cavalry pale. They saw 9,000 soldiers of the Miyoshi family like ants, densely packed in the small hills up the mountain.
On the way, the nearest one is about to reach the top of the mountain. The nail pattern of the Mihaoshi family almost covers the entire foothills of Otoyu Mountain, which looks so dazzling in the sun. Compared with these 9,000 soldiers, the 50 helmets of the Yuqiu family
The cavalryman with red leaves on his head is like a small boat in the sea, as if it will be overturned in an instant.
"Look at me." However, Honda Tadakatsu still only said this. He raised the dragonfly cutter high, rode his horse alone and rushed down the mountain, heading straight for the Miyoshi Army who was going up the mountain. He and he
They met Miyoshi Masayasu's troops head-on. Seeing a cavalryman rushing over as if desperate for his life, he immediately ordered the spearmen in the front row to push forward and knock the knight off his horse. However, Honda Tadakatsu's giant sword in his hand
The spear is longer than Ashigaru's spear! Most people can't swing such a giant thing even standing on the ground, let alone on horseback, but Honda Tadakatsu can control it freely with one hand. He fiercely
He raised his spear and stabbed it, piercing the Miyoshi Ashigaru's body before the Miyoshi Ashigaru's spear could reach him. Then he clamped the horse's belly hard, and with a strong right hand, the whole body was lifted up, and in an instant
Blood splattered everywhere. He used the heavy giant gun to drag the heavy body back and shook it, accumulating strength. Then he threw Dragonfly forward and at the same time jerked the reins of the horse, and the horseman stood up.
.
This posture - a warrior holds the horse's belly, the horse stands upright, and the warrior holds a large and exaggerated spear with his deep and straight arms, and there is a corpse on the tip of the spear. This posture seems to be frozen.
In the minds of all the Miyoshi family ashigaru, they had to ask themselves - is this really a power that humans can have?
God descends to earth!
The next second, Honda Tadakatsu suddenly exerted his force, and the body was thrown away from the tip of the gun. With the huge inertia, it smashed straight into Miyoshi Masayasu's queue, instantly killing four or five ashigaru.
Knocked to the ground.
When the front hooves of Honda Tadakatsu's war horse hit the ground, Honda Tadakatsu also waved his dragonfly horizontally, glared angrily, and roared at the Miyoshi family. The roar resounded throughout the mountain, even the trees beside the mountain road.
Trembling for it.
Miyoshi Masayasu's vanguard troops had never seen such a battle before. Every one of them had trembling thighs and stomachs, and one after another they fell to their knees weakly. The rest retreated hastily, not daring to move forward.
After Honda Tadakatsu saw that the enemies on this road were frightened by him, he immediately rode his horse back to the top of the mountain and rushed down another road up the mountain. The ashigaru and samurai on this road had just witnessed what they saw on the next road.
In the tragedy, when seeing this ferocious god rushing down, even those who have experienced many battles can't help but want to avoid it.
Honda Tadakatsu rushed straight towards them. These soldiers thought that they had no way to hide and could only put up a posture and fight hard. However, at the moment when Honda Tadakatsu hit them, Honda Tadakatsu suddenly
He suddenly clamped the horse's belly, and at the same time used the barrel of the giant gun to slap the buttocks of the BMW Sanguohei who was sitting down. Sanguohei suddenly kicked the ground knowingly, and his four feet jumped into the air. He actually leaned against the slope of the mountain road.
The height difference directly passed over the dozen people in the first row directly above their heads. The ashigaru and samurai raised their heads blankly following Honda Tadakatsu's movements, looking at the samurai who seemed to be stagnant in the sky above them, as if
It's like a god coming.
The next moment, with a roar and a scream, the god fell behind them. Immediately afterwards, the giant gun flew up and down, blood splashed everywhere, and the Miyoshi family Ashigaru along the way also retreated in embarrassment.
Honda Tadakatsu repelled this route, and did not hesitate to fight. He rode his horse back to the top of the mountain again, turned around and went straight to the next road. He repeated this more than ten times, and even killed no one in the Miyoshi family.
Go up to the top of the mountain.
Miyoshi Nagakei, who was standing at a pavilion on the mountainside, looked at Honda Tadakatsu, who was the enemy but was unstoppable, with a look of great fascination and admiration. After holding on for a quarter of an hour, Honda
Tadakatsu's own horse power and physical strength had reached their limit. He did not show off, but silently led the cavalry back slowly, leaving only a cool and solemn figure behind.
"I once heard that Imagawa Harubu praised this boy as the 'Unique Badou' before he became famous. When I saw him today, he really lived up to his reputation. What a Honda Heihachiro Tadakatsu!"
"There is only one stone in the world of warriors, and Heihachiro alone has eight fights."
After this battle, Honda Tadakatsu's martial name was resounding throughout Kinki - with just one man's bravery, the Miyoshi family's nearly 10,000-strong army was unable to move forward! Some people compare his feats to Zhang Fei's victory at Changbanpo during the Three Kingdoms period.
