Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    At dawn on August 5, 10,000 cavalry troops belonging to Tokawa Ichitun broke out of camp. The Kira family on the other side of the river got the information first, and ordered the navy to wait for the retreating 2,000 troops in the evening of the previous day.  The requirement was that they must land at Tobahara at noon. The Jinfu did not recruit any more, and they would not be needed regardless of victory or defeat in this battle.  When the first ray of sunshine fell in the morning, the Miyoshi Army began to cross the river. There were densely packed boats on the river one after another. Ten thousand troops crossed the river by boat one after another. The first to cross the river were the 3,044 Kokusai soldiers who had calmly organized their troops on Fushimi Tobahara. The second was to cross the river.  The first ones are the Miyoshi Army and other nationalities led by Settsu and Izumi, then the allies of the Hatakeyama family, and finally the two thousand Yamashiro people of Ise Sadataka.  Corresponding to the massive landing of the Miyoshi family, the Kira Army also took countermeasures at the same time. Five thousand troops stood up and lined up to prepare. There are many valleys at the foot of Fushimi Momoyama. The most famous place is Hitoshi in the Heian period.  The Fukakusa Imperial Tomb of Emperor Tomorrow is surrounded by dozens of large and small valleys.  The entire mountain forms a large-angle semi-arc with Mount Inari in the north, like the two wings of a white crane. The wings in the south are Fushimi Momoyama, and the wings in the north are Mount Inari. The two wings are spread out and surrounded by each other.  At the Fushimi Toba area, five thousand troops formed a layered fish scale formation along the mountain. This formation is known for its solid defense and is the preferred formation for attacking forts.  At about ten o'clock in the morning, most of the Miyoshi family's troops had already crossed the Kamogawa River and lined up. The military taiko drums beat like thunder. Everyone's breathing and heartbeats unconsciously merged with the thunderous taiko drums. A huge three-level  The five-nailed flag was erected high, and there was also a public cypress fan flag flying high. The former was the family crest of the Sanhao family, and the latter was the family crest of Shihe Yicun, who wore a large regular script.  Riding a sacred Oshu horse, he stared quietly at the flags fluttering in the distance.  "I am marching out of Gyeonggi on the orders of Sanzhu. This battle aims to defeat the shogunate army and attack Zhongwei Mountain! Gentlemen, we will win!" "We will win!" Thousands of troops roared and thousands of horses were silent, and the momentum was astonishing. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Listening to the warm cheers of the Miyoshi Army of Tobahara and everyone in the Kira family's main formation on Fushimiyama, everyone's hearts tightened.  "When will the navy troops arrive?" Yamamoto Tokiyuki replied: "Information from half an hour ago indicated that they have entered the Kamogawa mouth." The Miyoshi Army was obviously still waiting for the last batch of troops to cross the river. At this time, the Miyoshi family's main formation  Inside, a burst of shouting suddenly broke out: "Look! Whose ship is that?" I saw fifteen Kansai ships coming from the Yodo River in the south, and dozens of small boats.  Flags, these passers-by saw the returning boats coming and going from the Kamogawa River without saying a word and fired a volley. The dense sound of iron cannons shook everyone like thunder. Screams and wails were endless on the river, and several boats could not come in time.  The fleeing ship was beaten to the bottom of a sieve on the spot.  The other returning boats saw that something was wrong, and quickly turned their boats to go north to escape. There were still two thousand people from the mountain city on the west bank who were isolated on the other side of the river. Then the archers in the early morning sprayed a rain of arrows, causing the newly gathered formation on the east bank to return.  The troops became scattered, and Shihe Yicun shouted loudly to reorganize the army. He noticed that the military drum had stopped at some point, and immediately shouted: "We can't wait any longer! Beat the drum for me to organize the army! Get out of the battle immediately!" "Yes! Beat the army!"  Drum! Get out of the battle!" A dozen cavalrymen galloped around, passing on the general's order from Tokawa Icun. However, after a moment, the military drum sounded again, and Tokawa Icun took the lead and rushed to the front, shouting: "If you want to kill Kira Yoshi,  A heavy reward of one hundred taels of gold, and five thousand stones for knowledge and practice!" "Ha!" With the third-order rhombus five-nail flag and the public cypress fan flag on his back, he stood up with the long handle in his hand and roared towards the opposite military formation.  .  "Order Saijo Bei and Akabei to guard the two wings strictly and never let the three good armies break through!" "Yes!" The people nearby got on their horses and dispersed with the command.  The Kira Army's main formation, the Ashikaga Niyin, was under the two banners. Kira Yoshi, wearing the smoked purple Weiwei body pill, sat in the formation and looked at the tidal force of the army at the bottom of the mountain. He sighed: "This is the only way we can do it! Survive with a short tail."  As expected, Tokawa Icun led 8,000 men to attack this formation. It¡¯s up to you whether you can stop them!¡± Yamamoto Tokiyuki, wearing a set of lustrous abdominal scrolls, pointed at the water army that shuttled back and forth on the river to drive away the people in the mountain city on the west bank.  Said: "Master, don't worry, the river has been blocked by me, the troop ship will be here soon, there should be no problem." Yamaoka Shichang, wearing red uniforms, came to report: "The Three Good Army has begun the assault!  " Kira Yoshitoshi frowned and asked: "Who is the general in the first formation? " "It is Takashima Ubei of Takashima Bei, and the second formation behind him is Asami Ozen Ryo of Shiga Bei" Yamamoto Tokiyuki  He quickly announced a list of names. These ashigaru generals had been following him for more than two months, and their names were already familiar to them.  "Pray for them!" Kira Yoshishi held the military fan in his right hand and wrapped it around his left hand.?The rosary extends all the way to his forearm. Praying before going into battle is a tradition of the Wu family, but it has another meaning in his heart.  "These living beings, when they are alive and dead, will benefit greatly and will not fall into the evil paths. If there is a dying person, family members, or even one person in the family, if they chant the name of the Buddha loudly for the sick person, this person will die, except for the five Wujian  The five uninterrupted sins, even if they are extremely serious and last for hundreds of millions of kalpas, will be wiped out. If someone else chants the name of the Buddha before his death, the sins will gradually disappear.  "Not to mention that all living beings claim to be blessed by self-recitation and will be able to eliminate countless sins." Looking at Kiragi holding a rosary and silently reciting "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Original Vow Sutra", Yamamoto Kansuke stood up and issued an order: "Beat the drums! The troops are ready to join the battle."  " "Dong, dong, dong" The huge drum sound sounded, and the originally chaotic military formation gradually consolidated, and the prepared generals shouted: "Fire the arrows!" There was a "buzz".  The bow strings trembled, and the dark arrows were like dense locusts, piercing the sky with a sharp whistling sound, and falling towards the charging Sanhao army. The screams from time to time did not disrupt the attack of the Sanhao army.  Rhythm.  Takashima Ubei, who was standing at the front of the Kira army array, faced the charging Miyoshi army. He turned around and raised his katana gun in his hand, shouting: "Remember your oath! Everyone, follow me and recite it! May gods and Buddhas bless me.  Defeat Sanzhu, protect the soil and protect the hometown! " The peasants and soldiers in Omi raised their long handles, and shouted crazily in front of the charging Miyoshi army: "May the gods and Buddhas protect me to defeat Sanzhu, protect the soil and the hometown! " 1  Teams of Miyoshi Ashigaru, who were carrying the messy flags and leaning against the flag, rushed towards them like pigs. The roar of bows and arrows came from time to time. Rows of black raindrops fell on the armor, making a clanking sound, and sometimes there was a dull sound.  There will always be a few people falling to the ground without saying a word.  "The battle has begun! The opponent is the people of Settsu and Izumi!" The noise below reminded me that the black Miyoshi army collided with the red Kira army, and the shouts of death rushed into the sky and almost suppressed the sound of the military drums.  Omi's samurai relied entirely on their physical courage to fight to the death against powerful enemies whose numbers and eliteness far exceeded theirs.  Although the number of Settsu and Izumi soldiers in the first formation of the Miyoshi Army was only 2,000, these people were the first to follow Miyoshi Chokei and experienced the battles at Taiheiji Temple and Shariji Temple. Their morale and combat effectiveness were quite high.  Not bad, but Omi's reserve team has only been training for a few months, so no matter how they compare, they are still far behind the enemy.  Omi's reserve force was broken open by several huge cracks in just a few minutes. The formation collapsed and was divided into several small pieces, which were eaten away bit by bit by the blue-black torrent and disappeared. Roaring and wailing sounds could be heard all the time.  , in the case of great disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves, many Omi samurai chose a strategy of mutual destruction.  "May the gods and Buddhas bless me to defeat Sanzhu and protect the land and homeland!" The blood-covered ashigaru rushed towards the rushing Miyoshi samurai like crazy, tore open his horin face, and bit his neck.  The samurai's companions refused to let go despite being stabbed with swords and spears.  "Takashima Heitao! He was taken by Akutagawa Katsunosuke!" "Takashima Uhei! Shiota Sanbei was taken by him! The first line began to collapse!" "The entire army of the first line was destroyed! All members below the commander-in-chief were destroyed!  Jade is broken!" Ji Liangyi recited the Buddha's name loudly, and the hand holding the rosary was shaking.  Two quarters of an hour later, news came: "The second formation is engaged!" "The second formation, Tahara Goemon, is seeking death for Akutagawa Katsunosuke!" There was a commotion among the horsemen. The strength of the Miyoshi family was far beyond their imagination.  , Omi was unable to withstand two quarters of an hour in front.  "Tahara Goemon is being asked to die!" "Asami Ozen Ryo is being asked to die! The second formation begins to collapse!" Nakajo Tokihide finally couldn't sit still. He raised his sword and bowed to Kira Yoshitoki: "Master  Sir, take a break! I'm going to the front to supervise the battle!"
