Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    There was not much time left for Nagao Kagetora to think and sigh. Thousands of Ashura were charging towards him like wolves and tigers. The one in front was the Edo people led by Toyama Tsunakage. This one was the dead one.  The unlucky guy who married his legitimate son Yasukage Toyama finally managed to raise a son who was ready to be transferred to the position of family governor. However, he died under the butcher's knife of the Long Tail Legion. How could he not hate such a huge hatred!  "Where is Saito Asanobu of the Nagatail Army! Give me back my man's life!" Toyama Tsunakage shouted and rushed over at the lead.  The lightly armored bow and arrow ashigaru stepped out and laid out a neat arrow formation in front of the spear formation formed by the gun and shield ashigaru. Behind them were neat rows of black-armored ashigaru. They might be holding long spears,  Or standing still with a battle ax in hand, the formation of nine thousand warriors gathered into a black wall.  The bravery of the Echigo samurai is famous far and wide. Nagao Hara and Nagao Mikake successfully killed Uesugi Gosada with more than 500 riders, spreading the reputation of Echigo samurai throughout Kanto. Nagao Mikake and Hojo Soun were in the same camp that time.  Cooperating with each other, the relationship between the two parties has now turned into a life-or-death enemy.  With less than fifty seconds left before the battle, the Hojo Army in blue armor suddenly slowed down in neat steps. The experienced veterans were adjusting their breathing rhythms, as if the living blue waves were slowing down at this moment.  The surging speed, a small pause can pull the scattered tide back into a neat wave, and the next moment is to accelerate again and charge again.  Yamayoshi Toyomori, who serves as the general of archery, shouted loudly: "There are still forty-five more, load the arrows immediately!" A thousand archers silently pulled out the cast iron arrows and put them on their thumbs. They held the heavy rattan bows in their left hands and lowered them naturally.  Hold the arrow fletching with your right hand and take a deep breath.  The next moment, a thousand people simultaneously raised their big bows and clasped the bow strings with all their strength.  A thousand big bows made a "boom boom" groan.  The silent archery team followed the beat of the military drum and counted silently.  "Five, four, three, two, oneshoot! Quick, quick, quick! Load the arrow now! Load the arrow!" More than a dozen warriors urged loudly, and arrows came out one after another, and the bows and arrows seemed to be fired.  The machine was full of power. After shooting an arrow, it immediately pulled out the arrow and shot another. In just one minute, seven or eight arrows flew out, and the violent rain of arrows fell into the enemy's formation along a beautiful trajectory.  The powerful storm of arrows seriously disrupted the charging rhythm of the Hojo Army, and the samurai charging in the first row were hit hard at the first moment.  In just one minute, more than thirty samurai died, and the lives of hundreds of ashigaru were taken away by arrows. Fortunately, the time left for the archery team was only a short minute.  When the last arrow came out of their hands, several archery generals shouted at the same time. All the archers and ashigaru immediately turned around and retreated into the formation without any hesitation.  The gun shield team quickly filled the gap. This level of formation could not scare the long-tail army. Whether the soldiers were well-trained or not would depend on their performance in battle.  The Nagao family¡¯s spear-shielding ashigaru is obviously not afraid of the Hojo army.  Saito, who was standing at the front, curled his lips in disdain and shouted: "Everyone, listen to the order. Get up the gun array and block the enemy troops in front!" The ashigaru in the first row set up the heavy rifles.  , a short spear protruded from the gap between the shields. Behind them, each ashigaru stretched out the three spears in front, inserted the handle of the spear into the pre-dug pit, and pressed the pit with their right foot to resist the spear.  With a handle, the five-meter-four-long Sanjian gun only needs to be placed on the shoulders of the ashigaru in the front row, and it can easily reach the front of the formation with its length.  "What kind of weird tactic is this!" Toyama Tsunakage had never seen the Swiss Spear Formation, but he still instinctively sensed something was wrong and hurriedly shouted: "Everyone, be careful of the Long Tail Army's deception! Slow down, and slow down!"  The charging rhythm of the Edo people was broken by Toyama Tsunakage's voice. The front team and the rear team who braked suddenly squeezed together and almost fell into a ball. Fortunately, they were still more than thirty meters away from the formation, allowing the long-tailed army to  The Ashigaru had no chance to take advantage of it for a while. After this incident, the momentum became a joke. After the morale dropped, they were too cautious to fight again.  It has to be said that Toyama Tsunakage's military strategy is very average. He can detect that there is a problem with the formation of the Long Tail Legion, but he is unable to deal with the problem. He shouts out his revenge and waits until the samurai are liberated from their fanaticism.  , morale also dropped from full to half or even lower.  "Don't panic, don't be chaotic, don't act rashly! We must stick to the formation!" Toyama Tsunakage directed the Edo people to draw up the formation and advance slowly. At this time, the long-tail army's archery team began to exert force, and the bowstrings were buzzing.  The sound of jumping could even be heard by the Hojo Army. The shouts of killing broke out at the moment of the battle. The cries covered the voices of the generals on both sides. What was at this stage was the command level of the generals facing the enemy.  Immediately behind the Edo clan were the main forces of the Matsuyama clan, the Hatagata clan, the Koji clan, the Tamawa clan, and the Miura clan. The right wing of the Hojo family was the Furukawa clan led by Harusuke Adena from Shimosu Province, and the Kanto Hachiya kata clan.  One of the Chiba people, the left wing is led by Narita Nagayasu.?The people of Musashi Province, nearly 20,000 troops came in an instant to block the Long Tail Legion, blocking them tightly in all directions.  The Long Tail Army was suddenly blocked by an army of 20,000 people and was a little panicked. With its excellent fighting qualities, it quickly took back the small disadvantage. The arrows like locusts made a whistling sound and sank into the Hojo Army. The enemy on the opposite side  Miserable howls sounded one after another, the rumbling military drums, the noisy clash of swords and guns, and the angry shouts and screams were mixed together, and it became a mess within a few moments.  The Ashigaru Spear Formation of the Nagao Army is like a rock standing in the wind and rain. The black armor is as hard and steady as a rock. No matter how violent the storm is, it cannot break the hard shell of the reef. Nagao Kagetora's main formation is rooted in the wind and rain.  On the top of the mountain, looking at a large green Hojo army, he sneered: "Are the Hojo family crazy? Do these people want to stop our Nagao family? After passing the order, the generals from all walks of life immediately counterattacked and defeated the intruders who tried to surround them.  Enemy!" Amanza Keagemochi, Kachi Harutsuna, Takemata Keizuna, Shinbada Tsusada, Igokuno Hirie, Ishikawa Shigetsu and other troops each led their troops to rush out from the left and right wings. The battle line was opened to hundreds of rooms, and more than 20,000 people were killed.  People mixed together and the scene became very chaotic. Nagao Kagetora sat on the mountain to direct the dispatch, and soon realized that something was wrong.  "What are the Hojo family doing?" Nagao Kagetora noticed something was wrong, as did front-line generals such as Saito Asanobu and Amanza Keagemochi.  It is completely unreasonable for the Hojo Army to fight and retreat despite huge casualties.  If it is not clear who is the attacking party.  I thought that the offense and defense switched to the Hojo family being the defensive side.  "Are they not targeting our family? Then his target will be" Nagao Kagetora's mind quickly ran through several possibilities. The next moment he suddenly caught a glimpse of the strange movement of the Hojo Army's main formation, and suddenly shouted: "Oops  ! He is planning to attack the east and west! The real target is the branch cities in Ueno, Hirai Castle, Minawa Castle and Ubashi Castle! " I saw the Hojo Army's main formation!  Two armies with three-scale flags rushed out. There were about 3,000 people in the two armies. Each team was equipped with 700 or 800 horse-riding warriors. They rushed out of the battlefield like two groups of wild horses.  , speeding along the streets of Ueno to the heart of Ueno country.  Nagao Kagetora was surprised.  Obviously, he did not expect that Hojo Ujiyasu would set up a conspiracy to deceive him. At this time, he suddenly heard a noise coming from the west, and Banfei quickly reported: "The Hojo Army's six thousand special forces are moving towards Hirai Castle. Some Japanese from the Ueno Alliance Army have deserted the coalition forces and surrendered to the Hojo Army."  On one side, the Ueno National Army is in turmoil, and Nagano Shinano is working hard to suppress it. The scene is in chaos! " "Oops! Something big is going to happen!" Naoe Keizuna stood up in panic, looking at the Ueno coalition forces in the west, and he hurriedly suggested.  : "Lord! For this plan, we must stop the Hojo Army's special forces, and we must not let them capture Hirai Castle. Once Hirai Castle is lost, our way back to Echigo will be cut off. There is no life or death in being trapped here.  !" "I know! We can't be anxious now. The more anxious we are, the happier we will be. We can't be anxious!" Nagao Kagetora walked slowly and tried to think of countermeasures.  The Ueno National Army deliberately distanced itself from the Nagao Legion's station. Although the two camps bordered each other, the main formations of both sides were at the other end of the camp. Apart from some debris from the other side, the bordering area was the battlefield.  It is a place for medical treatment and training, and of course also has the task of holding funerals for the war dead.  Nagano Ye was waiting for the Ueno people, who seemed to want to prevent the influence of the Nagao family from infiltrating. They were secretive in doing things and were not happy enough. Nagao Kagetora didn't bother to pay attention to their family spirit. The cooperation between the two parties became very troublesome when suspicion and estrangement arose.  At the same time, because the distance between the two sides is relatively long, and their respective camp gates are opened in very remote places, communication with each other is far from smooth as expected.  It was originally thought that the Ueno coalition forces could exert their power to resist Takeda's army, but the result was very different from what was expected. The situation on the scene was far more severe than imagined. Several Japanese people in the Minawa clan rebelled one after another, causing bad effects. It was noisy.  People are so panicked that they can't even perform at 50% level.  It is very common for the people of the country to marry each other. The people of the country in the entire Ueno Kingdom are all related to each other. Some of them are close relatives dating back three generations. It is very common for relatives to belong to the same two camps and oppose each other.  During the chaos, Minamoto no Yoshitomo of the Kawachi Genji clan and Taira Kiyomori of the Ise Taira clan confronted their fathers and uncles, and then ended up marrying their closest relatives with their own hands.  Therefore, many times the samurai family does not talk about kinship. There are many fathers and sons who have conflicting ideas and become enemies with each other, or even fight against each other. The samurai family in the Kamakura period were the ultimate in this type, being completely egoistic and selfish.  He was so self-interested that he personally destroyed the foundation of the royal family's collegial system. He foolishly killed each other and finally ended up in the tragic situation of being raised and enslaved by the Hojo family.  Since Muromachi, the samurai family has also been reflecting on it. In particular, the Ashikaga shogunate attaches great importance to the family lineage, and almost all the major positions in the shogunate are controlled.With one door and one door in hand, it ensures to the greatest extent that the Minamoto family will not be stolen by powerful ministers and relatives. The trend set off by the shogun quickly spread to the people of the lower classes.  For example, the relationship between in-laws, black hat relatives, brother-in-law and brother-in-law, the brother-in-law relationship between cousins, the best friend relationship from childhood to adulthood, etc. have all been substituted. The little Chinese have spent hundreds of years  Weaving a huge network of relationships, among which the small and medium-sized daimyo, mainly the Mutsu Date family, are the most representative.  The advantages and disadvantages of the deep in-law relationship among Chinese people are very prominent. It is easier to do things with relatives, and when there are more relatives, there are more things to do. Take the Shirakura clan and the Kuragano clan who have rebelled many times.  Relatives in Ueno's country also encouraged many rebellions, which posed great hidden dangers to the Ueno coalition forces.  Nagano Sixteen Guns, Kuragano Awaji Shouteu and Shirakurazaemon Munehito came from the two clans. Although they have repeatedly stated that the clan's rebellion has nothing to do with them, the fact is that they will eventually lose trust.  , as their clan rebelled again.  The status of the two men in Ueno Junior High School was shaky.  The joint impact of the rebellion between the two people was that three relatives, Nagane Somaji, Oto Bungo Mamoru, and Daidaiji Nobukata, were also brought to Hojo's side.  The families of these three people have close relations with the Shirakura clan and the Kuragano clan.  Nagane Zomasuke and Oto Bungomomoru are the adopted brothers of the two, and Daidaiji Nobukata is the adopted brother of the two.  The betrayal of five people turned Nagano's sixteen guns into eleven instantly. The remaining eleven people were familiar with each other, and a few of them were also sworn brothers. They had their own reasons for not being taken away all at once.  I don't want to join the Hojo family, but they are destined to be distrusted.  The Great Hu Musashi Morihidetsuna was very angry. The Sixteen Guns had sworn an oath to unite and live and die together in Minawa Castle. The words of the oath that day were still in his ears.  The sixteen brothers had already been divided into two formations and had long since changed. When the news of the betrayal of the five was revealed, Nagano Yasumasa immediately summoned the remaining eleven to comfort them and reassure them.  Don't worry about other people's gossip when doing things with your heart.  But he himself knew very well that the bad influence of all this was being fermented out. It was unusual for Nagano Yasumasa not to curse at the first moment. He knew the temperament of Shouzhou Huangmao very well. He would glare at the familiar samurai if he did anything wrong. Twelve  His son-in-law was often scolded by him but nothing happened. Once he had a good relationship with Feng Xiaoyu, he would completely distrust him.  Dobiliang Shouyou looked sad.  As a pure samurai, how could he have so many tricks up his sleeve? The rebellion of the five brothers brought many disasters to the remaining brothers.  Even though he wanted to forgive those five people, he didn't have the courage to do so. He sighed and said: "For now, the only way to restore the lost reputation and trust is to kill them on the battlefield!" Fujii Bungo Moritomo Tadashi spat,  Cursed: "I have long disliked those bastards. They have been so sneaky and planning in recent days that I don't know what they are planning. I also thought they were doing some good planning to earn us some merit. They never  It's shameless to think that these five bastards have long wanted to use the reputation of my sixteen brothers to gain a lifetime of wealth! " " Bungo, please stop saying this! " Everyone feels bad.  It's hard to watch. I can't stand the abuse of Yutada Fujii. The Shirakawa family and the Shirakura family have a very close relationship through generations of marriage. A few days ago, Shirakura Zaemon Munehito came to him to discuss the matter. At that time, he just expressed his consideration.  I dare not give an accurate answer at once.  He knew very well that the cost of defecting at this time would be huge. He was not the only member of the Shirakawa clan, nor was he a wealthy family like the Shirakura clan who had long made up their mind to defect. He had to consider his own family, but Hojo didn't expect it.  Coming home so quickly, Shirakurazaemon Munehito thought that Shirakawa Mitsuru was perfunctory with him, so when he saw that the situation was not going well, he led five people to betray the Ueno people.  What he did almost got him in. Everyone in Ueno Country knew each other very well. When he looked at Shirakawa Mitsuru, his eyes changed. They all had false smiles on their eyes, and their eyes were full of alienation and indifference, which made this iron-clad man  How could this man swallow this bad breath? He had never frowned in any difficult situation on the battlefield, but now he was frowning because of the betrayal of his "good brother".  As soon as the internal strife broke out among the people of Ueno, the military duties of eleven people were temporarily relieved for various reasons, and the army was handed over to one of their respective families to act as the leader. Nagano Yasumasa called this avoidance of suspicion, and Hu Xiutsuna could not swallow this breath no matter what.  : "They say that we are the Nagano Sixteen Guns. At first glance, it seems that the sixteen of us are a bit shorter than the Nagano Shinano Mamoru, but we are not the retainers of the Nagano family. Why can we be relieved of our military power! Such a**  How can we survive in Ueno if we are so nakedly distrustful?¡± Hou Xian Nobu Jun also suffered a lot from the five ¡°good brothers¡± who ran away. The head of the Hou Xian family was very dissatisfied with him and threatened to drive him away.  , he was so angry that he almost committed suicide by committing seppuku. When he mentioned this, he got angry again and said angrily: "Brother is right. The sixteen of us have made an oath to live and die together."??It's true, those five bastards should be killed for abandoning our friendship, but it is too much to deprive us of our military power when we have not made any mistakes. We have never said that we will be loyal to the Nagano family. It is all Nagano Yasumasa's wishful thinking.  It has nothing to do with us!  "Wada H¨­busuke caught a glimpse of the Hojo Army approaching from the foot of the mountain and snorted softly: "The enemy forces are approaching and the generals are changing before the battle. Nagano Shinano Mamoru must be old and confused!  I really want to see what they can do to stop the Hojo family's Goshiki!  "The situation worsened far beyond Nagano Yasumasa's expectation. A total of 28 powerful samurai, including five from Nagano's Sixteen Guns, defected from the Ueno coalition. Originally, he thought that the situation could be controlled by quickly transferring personnel related to the repression.  , for this reason, he quickly suppressed hundreds of implicated samurai, and adopted a cooling-down method that neither dealt with nor eliminated the suspicion. Unexpectedly, it backfired. The plump ideal was no match for the skinny reality. Nagano Yasumasa was sorry for his mistake.  After paying the price, the Nagano Sixteen Guns and the defecting samurai family who were most implicated were removed from front-line command in the name of "avoiding suspicion." The negative impact of the change of generals on the battlefield made the hearts of the Ueno people uneasy.  Rumors spread that the people of Ueno were operated on, and that the Minawa consensus system was occupied by him alone. The soldiers always felt uneasy when they could not see their governor. The more time passed, the more suspicious people became. Rumors that were originally unbelievable were spread with noses and eyes.  , the morale of the entire Chinese army declined uncontrollably. Hojo Ujiyasu, who was sitting in the rear, quickly discovered the problem of the Ueno coalition and took out the ace Hojo five-color preparation at the beginning of the war. These five reserve teams were extraordinary.  The number of each reserve team is between 1,900 and 2,200. They are composed of the most elite warriors drawn from various cities and departments of the Hojo family. The military system of the Hojo family has evolved from a simple military system.  The system of sending children to the military service system has now further established the trend of semi-professional standing. The combat effectiveness of this 10,000-strong army is more than double that of the ordinary Japanese army. It can be said that most of the best in the Hojo Army have been gathered into one body. Only  The horseback troops guarding Hojo Ujiyasu can compete with one of them. The temporary commander of the five-colored bei is Hojo Tsunarugi, the head of Huangbei flag. This man is also known as Dihuang Hachiman. He is the son of Fukushima Masashige, a native of Toe country, because of his father's life experience.  He was defeated and killed in the Hanakura Rebellion. After fleeing, Sagami recognized Hojo as his adoptive father and inherited the name of the Hojo clan. Later, he married Hojo Ujiyasu's sister and officially became a member of the Hojo family. He was responsible for grasping the situation of the war and taking advantage of the situation.  Hojo Tsunari also observed the unusual movements of the Ueno army, and noticed that several flags in the Ueno army were missing. He laughed loudly: "My lord is indeed very calculating. Even Nagano Shinano can't escape the law. Now.  The formation of the Ueno national army is scattered and their morale is declining. This is the good opportunity we have been waiting for The whole army obeys the order and attacks!  " Five-colored flags fluttered in the wind. Tens of thousands of troops rushed into the formation of the Ueno National Army with neat steps. In an instant, the ground shook and the shouts of killing resounded throughout the sky. The five-pronged army penetrated the Ueno National Army in five directions.  In the not-close front, many reserves who lost their commanders were not interested in fighting at all. The gap between the experience and command level of the newly replaced generals was too great, and they could neither suppress the messy situation nor command the messy reserves on the left wing.  They are Akabi and Aobei in the Five Colors Biri. The Akabi flag is headed by Hojo Tsunadaka. This man's father was originally the son of Takahashi Takatune, the important minister of the Horikoshi family, and his mother was the daughter of Hojo Soun who was promoted to Hojo Goyuki.  The Oke clan and the Junichi clan are allowed to use the names of the Hojo clan. Tominaga Naokatsu, the leader of the Aobei clan, comes from one of the twenty-one members of the Izu clan. He serves as the five elders of the Hojo clan and was born in Tominaga of Mikawa Shitara County.  Tominaga, a direct descendant of the clan, came from the same clan as Goro Tadayamoto. His family has been known as Kamishiro and Youemonwei for generations. He is famous for his bravery in the Hojo family. He is a rare and brave general who defends Yuanxing under the banner of Kurobei.  , is a quasi-sect member of one of the six families of Hojo Goyuuo. His father Tame Rokuro Mototada was the first general of the Hojo clan. Thirty years ago, his status was equivalent to that of today's Hojo Tsunari. He himself was also a very brave man.  A general who personally leads the Kurobei composed of the Kad¨­ clan of the Suruga Kingdom. The Shirakawa flag head Kasahara Notoshou Yasuki is also from one of the 21 Izu clans. He serves as the leader of the Hojo Goro clan and the Shimoda clan. These four clans.  The reserve team gathers the main combat power of the Hojo family. They are the hammers and steel forks in the hands of Hojo Ujiyasu. At the most critical moment, they can break the enemy's hard shell and then cut open their heart and lungs to dismember them (to be continued, please search Piaotian Literature).  , the novel is better and updated faster!
