Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Kira family's cavalry rushed into the Honjo army's main formation like a red wind blowing across the field, exuding a terrifying momentum. Seeing that the situation was not good, the Dabaoji army hurriedly turned around and retreated. His five hundred men had not yet reached the edge.  With the loss of nearly a hundred combat forces, not retreating in the face of the wolf-like Kira army is simply seeking death.  Without the support of the left wing, the Honjo army, which was fighting the Kira Army's Ashigaru Formation, became a turtle in the urn. The main force on the front was pinned down, seriously affecting mobility. Honjo Shigenaga could only grit his teeth and send all the mounted samurai to the two wings to block the red cavalry.  assault.  Kira Yoshitsune pursued the cavalry roundabout assault tactic, never confronting the enemy with force, especially not engaging in positional battles with Ashigaru. His tactical thinking was fully implemented, and the red cavalry attacked from the left and right and went down the mountain.  The two wings of the Honzhuang army defeated by the fierce tigers were retreating steadily, and the two hundred horse-riding warriors of the Honzhuang army disappeared in a short time.  As the front line showed a tendency to collapse, Honjo Noganaga could no longer sit still and hurriedly urged his horses to rush out of the formation, shouting: "The entire army attacks, we must stop the Kira Army cavalry!" Dozens of Honjo's horsemen returned on horseback.  The samurai's appearance brought the situation back to a slight disadvantage. At least Honjo Shigenaga personally participated in the battle to boost morale. However, the situation was quickly brought back. Takikawa Keijiro targeted Honjo Shigenaga and urged his mount to rush to the front line.  Direct confrontation with Honjo Shigenaga.  "Honjo Nobunaga! Let me, Takigawa Tokiyoshi, finish you off!" With the help of the powerful charge of the war horse, Takigawa Tokiyoshi swung the Suzhu spear in his hand and stabbed him with a fierce blow. The bloody smell and the sharpness of the gun blade hit him.  The chill on his body made his sweat pores explode. Under the crisis, Honjo Shimachou reacted extremely quickly. He turned sideways to avoid this fatal attack. The two of them looked at each other the moment they passed each other.  Experience the feeling of fear for the first time.  After another confrontation with the horse, Honjo Shigenaga suddenly felt that his clothes were soaked. It turned out that he had been shocked into a cold sweat by the blow at some point. No longer caring about the dignity of the samurai, he hurriedly shouted: "Yaha Ichigojiro,  Come and help me, Akira Uhei!" "Yes!" Two of Honjo Nobunaga's confidants rushed over on horseback. At this time, another attack from Takigawa Tokiyoshi happened to come, and he stabbed the three of them at the same time.  Come on, Takigawa Tokiyoshi swung his spear with both arms to block, and used brute force to knock away the three big guns. Honjo Shigenaga had the fastest reaction. The moment the big guns bounced away, he pulled back the broken spears.  This moment of witty reaction saved his life, but the other two were not so lucky. Takikawa Tokimasu stabbed Yaba Gonjiro to death, and Ariake Taira Youbei was also killed by a sudden flying arrow.  Honjo Shigenaga caught a glimpse of Shima Tokikatsu, who was staring at him not far away, and immediately turned his horse and fled. At this time, there were only a few dozen samurai riding back around him, and there were not many left.  Takikawa Tokimasu stopped and shouted: "Enemy general, I have captured Yaha's grandson Jiro! Sakon, keep him!" "I know!" Shima Tokikatsu bent his bow and clasped an arrow.  In an instant, another arrow flew out, hitting the back of Honjo Shigema's mount. The horse was shaken and staggered in severe pain. Takigawa Tokiyoshi took out the lasso and rode forward, smashing Honjo Shigema into pieces.  With a long lasso, he was dragged directly away from the battlefield.  "Honjo Shigenaga has been captured!" The news was like a storm blowing in all directions. Both the Mogami Army, which was advancing with great success, and the tepid and entangled Kurokawa Army, all retreated at the same time. As the main force of Honjo's coalition forces,  , Honjo Shibunaga's direct defeat to the coalition forces was a huge blow.  First, the Honjo army all laid down their weapons and accepted prisoners. Fortunately, this did not last long. The Honjo army died in more than 400 battles, while the Kira army only paid the price of hundreds of minor and serious injuries without any casualties. Equipment, training and discipline  The gap was fatal. The Honjo army, which had different orders, could not form an effective counterattack at all. The frontal conflict could not gain any advantage. The two wings were attacked again and did not collapse. It was already supported by the super resilience of the Echigo people.  After this defeat, the whole situation began to collapse. The Mogami army threw away the fat they had obtained and ran away. The Daihoji army had already been defeated. If he didn't escape now, he would definitely have no chance to escape again. The Kurokawa army wanted to retreat but was killed by Nakajo Fujizu.  He was restrained by death, and only Kurokawa Moromi was willing to cut off his tail to survive in order to escape, but the current situation was obviously no longer possible.  "Kurogawa Morimi surrendered! Honjo Nobunaga surrendered! The Mogami Army retreated, we won!" The Kira family's red cavalry was still chasing the Mogami Army, although this was not of great significance.  All lives were saved, and the Echigo rebellion came to an end with the end of the battle below Honjo Castle.  Two days later, the Echigo Post-War Evaluation Meeting was held in Honjo Castle. People from all over Shimotsu came to hear the news. People from the Miura Party, Chichibu Party, Omi Party, and Sasaki Party all attended the evaluation meeting.  The first was to punish Honjo Shigenaga and Kurokawa Morimi, who directly led the rebellion. The two were tied up and escorted into the hall, facing familiar faces in the hall.The faces of the two defeated generals were either sympathetic or mocking. They were particularly angry at the Kira family's habit of not respecting the captured generals.  Honjo Shigenaga said angrily: "Why are you tying us up? Even if we are defeated, we still have dignity!" "Dignity? Do you have such a thing?" Kira Yoshitoki sneered and hit Takigawa Tokimasu and Shima Tokikatsu.  With a gesture, the two men kicked the two of them down, and the two shouted loudly: "What dignity do you have! Rebellious!" At this time, Kurokawa Shengshen was also angry and cursed: "We are not the retainers of the Wuwei Palace, you  Why are you doing this to us? You bastards, please help me!" The "bastards" Kurokawa Morimin said were the Shimogotsu people in the hall, but who would help them at this time? Irobe Katsunaga and Ayu of the Chichibu Party.  Kawakiyonaga directly turned his face away, while Sasaki's party members Kachi Harutsuna, Takemata Keizuna, Shinda Tsusada, and Igokuno Hirie carefully appreciated the expressions of the two people with the mentality of watching a good show.  At this moment, a familiar figure appeared outside the evaluation room. Tsunasada Shinhatada caught a glimpse of it and immediately exclaimed: "Eh? Hojo Tango Mamoru?" "Yes! It's me!" After several days of mental torture, Hojo Takashi  Guang is several times thinner than his previous strong figure, and his originally gangster face full of flesh has become more angular, but the gangster spirit in him still remains.  Many people were keenly aware that he seemed to have some strange changes, and before they could think about it, they saw an astonishing scene. Hojo Takahiro glanced at the many Shimogoshi samurai in the hall, stepped forward and leaned down and said: "Hojo Takahiro is late!  "Master, you have been waiting for a long time!" "Master, what is going on?" Not only the people in the hall were shocked, but even the warriors of the Kira family were a little surprised. Only Kira, who was sitting high, was surprised.  Yishi smiled.  "I'm so relieved that Takahiro Xingyue has arrived! What do you think Takahiro should do with these two people?" "We must not tolerate those who don't repent!" Hojo Takahiro was obviously prepared and nodded to him when he saw Kiragi.  , immediately walked over and held down the heads of Kurokawa Moromi and Honjo Shigaraki, and said sternly: "See clearly who the person on the throne is? Are you still stubborn?" "Hojo Takahiro! Are you crazy! Give me up quickly.  Let me go!" Kurokawa Mori was shocked and angry. Why did this guy go crazy today? He has become like this in a blink of an eye. He was the most dishonest person in the past.  In contrast, Honjo Shimancho was even more arrogant. Even when his head was pressed to the tatami, he cursed mercilessly: "Hojo Takahiro! Let me go! Otherwise, I, Shibancho, will definitely kill you!" "  The owner is here, who are you going to kill!" Takikawa Tokiyoshi, who had retreated to the side to watch the show, was furious. Shima Tokikatsu hugged the angry Takigawa Tokiyoshi and hurriedly shouted at the stunned Chang.  Nobumasa Ban winked: "Come here and stop him!" "Oh!" Nobumasa Nagasaka ran over and the two fierce generals worked together to hold down Takigawa Shimasu, who was exerting brute force. He saw the moans coming from under the tatami between the three people.  The people of Shimonosetsu couldn't help but feel sad at the sound. Takigawa Tokiyoshi defeated two generations of powerful generals, Hojo Takahiro and Honjo Shigecho, at a young age. His future achievements are hard to imagine.  "Hojo Tango doesn't have to be a bad guy, let me do it!" Honda Toki was watching the heat, so he stood up and looked at the two prisoners who looked like dead dogs with a smile, and said loudly: "I have always been a member of the Ashikaga family.  Rewards and punishments are fair, and those who have meritorious service will be rewarded without hesitation, and those who have made mistakes will naturally not be punished. Rebellion is a first-class crime determined by our host. Considering the special circumstances of Echigo, my host has temporarily assumed the position of the leader of Echigo.  , so the punishment is particularly lenient." Honjo Nobunaga asked angrily: "Why should we be punished?" "Why?" Honda Toki sneered, glanced at the Yue country, and then said slowly: "Why should you punish us?  It is the duty of the party and the Miura Party to serve as ministers! " "What?" These words were not as simple as surprise. Nakajo Fujisaki, Irobe Katsunaga and other countrymen all frowned, wondering who this Wuweidian was.  It means that they have been autonomous for hundreds of years, and no matter who the leader of the Echigo Kingdom is, they can't shake it. Since the Oshu Tenbun Rebellion broke out more than ten years ago, the confrontation between Nakajo Fujishi and the head of Honjo made the originally monolithic Yanghoku  The crowd began to split.  It was the beginning when Nakajo Fujisou took the lead to join Nagao Kagetora. Later, the people of Shimotsu either actively or passively surrendered to Nagao Kagetora, but they did not really obey this Echigo dragon. In the first battle of Kawanakajima, Nagao  Okatora repeatedly wrote letters to urge Irobe Katsunaga to lead the army into battle, and even did not come to participate in the bimonthly appraisal. This shows how self-indulgent and undisciplined this group of Shimoyue people were.  Nakajo Fuji couldn't help but ask: "What does Takee-den mean?" "What my family means" Kira Yoshiki slowly stood up and said with a smile: "Of course, I want to order Echigo in the name of the Ashikaga family.  ??¡±(To be continued.)
