Samurai of the Takeda Family

After burning the fire on the riverside of Tottori River overnight, billowing black smoke still rose in the air. *.*

The turbulent water flow continued, and the sporadic spears, the feet made of cowhide bamboo, and the corpses mixed in the mud-yellow flow were constantly being washed downstream.

In the middle of last night, the horse riding team of the Takeda Army Tsuchiya Masahirobu attacked the Shibata Army at night. First, they used torches to set fire to the forest. Then the two hundred dragoons prepared by the sun and the moon fired at the dense forest with iron cannons. The Shibata army shot out.

After Shibata had no choice but to send a cavalry team to stop him, the two sides fought fiercely outside the forest at night.

The two sides fought fiercely all night, and Tsuchiya Masahiro’s Riyuebei was finally forced to retreat temporarily by Shibata’s fierce commander, Sakuma Morimasa, known as Oni Genban.

This night, with the attack and interference of the Sun and the Moon, the Shibata Army’s crossing the river did not speed up under this pressure. On the contrary, due to crowding, conflicts, and the collapse of order, a large number of soldiers who crossed the river fell into the water. And drowned to death.

In the river of Tottori River, there are countless souls of Shibata's death in vain.

Crossing the river overnight, Shibata Corps 35,000 soldiers, so far less than half of the river.

But under the fire attack last night and the attack of the Takeda Army Riding Corps, Shibata Army generals have been rumbling.

No one wants to stay in the last crossing the river, and become the back of his companion, and be killed by the Takeda army who catches up from behind.

The black crowd piled up, and the soldiers with only half their faces in the rear were crowded with each other. He tried to raise his feet and stared at the river bank, counting how long he could be there.

Many Shibata troops who were pushed to the riverside by the rear crowd were lighter. Just like dumping dumplings, one after another, under the push of their companions, they fell into the river.

Many people did not catch the rope at all, and were so directly swept away by the khaki river.

Shibata Katsumi watched this scene by the river, and couldn't help gritted his teeth, and cursed in his heart: "This Li Xiao was chosen as the main force of the Uesugi Army to go south. As well as the timing of the main force of the Gifu City's main force out of Jinyan Village, all the troops were transferred. Come to a decisive battle with me."

"This is clearly determined to kill me. Isn't he still reluctant to let me go at this point?"

Damn, Shibata Katsura secretly annoyed, this battle no matter what. He is already badly injured. Not only was the power greatly reduced, but the right to speak in Oda's family was also weakened.

After two defeats to Li Xiao, not only his face was damaged, but the princess Ashi, whom he had always thought of in his heart, also had no hope of reaching a compromise with Oda Nobutada and letting the other party marry him.

Thinking of this, Shibata Shengjia couldn't help but hate it. If it weren't for Li Xiao's retreat, why would he come to Kaga to wade in the muddy water.

At this moment, boom! Boom! Boom!

The sound of taiko drums in the distance rang out loudly.

Shibata's expression changed drastically when he stood on the hill, and when he looked around, he saw the huge Li-shaped banner rising on the horizon in the distance.

On the Kanazawa Plain, the flags and objects rose like a forest, and a large stream of soldiers stood side by side. The troops of the Hida Yuezhong Army swept across the sky like an invisible red tide.

this moment. Li Xiao's army, after a forcible march without sleep day and night. Finally chased up and rushed to the back of Shibata Corps.

And now Shibata Corps, half of them have not yet crossed the river.

The advancing speed of Li Xiao's legion was so amazing that everyone in Shibata's legion was stunned. Now seeing the opponent open the attack lineup, everyone's heart is chilled.

Without a word, Shibata Katsuya threw his golden headband to the side, revealing his pure red head. At this moment, he showed a fierce expression and drew out Tachibana and said loudly: "Li Xiao today is either you or me. "

Seeing the blood and courage of Shibata Katsumi, the general Mori Katsunaga and Maeda Toshiya all said together: "Master (Master Repair), I am willing to die with you."

Shibata Shengjia laughed and said, "Very good, very good. I didn't expect that when Shibata was at the end of the road, there would be warriors who were loyal to die with me. Come, come, bring wine."

Said Shibata Katsuya loudly, a small surname offered Shibata Katsuya a wine bag and poured it into a large teapot.

The three of them took turns to drink the wine in the teapot clean.

In the end, Maeda Toshiya drank the remaining wine in one breath, wiped the wine stains on his mouth with his hands, and then strenuously smashed the teapot on the ground.

Masada Shibata nodded approvingly, stretched out his hand to press Maeda's shoulder, and said, "It's left again, great."

Maeda Toshiya held down Shibata's hand, and said, "Master Repair, I'll take a step first, and then I will drink with you under the yellow spring."

Shibata Katsuya screamed, and then watched Maeda Toshiya pick up his vermilion spear and rode away.

And Mori Katsuyaga also summoned the samurai who dared to die next to him, and together with Maeda Toshia, slew to the Takeda army camp.

The postures of these two people are like assassins who have never returned to Yishui River that day.

At this time, the shouts to the sky sounded on the side of the Takeda Army, and the Takeda Army began to launch a general attack on the Shibata Army!

Shibata's expression on Wenzhi's face twitched slightly, and he nodded slowly. The impassioned expression on his face gradually receded. He peeled off his eye-catching armor piece by piece, and whipped his horse again.

Under the pain, this war horse ran wildly.

After finishing all this, Shibata Katsuya threw away his whip, approached the side beside him, and said blankly: "Go, let's take a boat to cross the river!"

Tomino.

On the banks of the Nagara River under the castle of Iwamura.

With a small flag planted in the Oda family, Zuqing, the two of them dragged a corpse to the left and right legs and slowly dragged it to the river.

On the edge of the river, along the Nagara River, such corpses lined up in a long row.

Amid the gurgling sound of the river, a large number of vultures were brazenly, burying their heads dangling the meat from the corpse, eating into their mouths and chewing and swallowing.

On the other side of the corpse, the former chief general of Takeda Family Minami Shinano Corps, Nobuyuki Akiyama, and his wife, as well as the retainers, Morinosuke Oshima, and Zukoji Sakan.

The four of them were tied together by five flowers and stood on their knees on the edge of the gravel river.

And beside them, dozens of Oda Army members are holding bamboo spears and aiming at them.

At this moment, the faithful Akiyama watched with grief and indignation. The papaya-patterned flags fluttered over Iwamura Castle, facing the sharp spears of the surrounding Oda Army, and shouted: "Kiso Yoshihisa, you traitor, you must die!"

The angry and stern roar of the Akiyama faithful made people shudder. The former Takeda tiger general, but at this moment, is a scene of a bound tiger, a hero's end.

On the castle tower in Iwamura Castle.

Oda Nobuada, the governor of the Oda clan, stood up and down and looked at the former rival of the Takeda clan with a smile.

For Oda Nobuya, there is nothing more refreshing and comfortable than seeing the moment when his former rival was killed.

But behind Oda Nobuya, Hidetaka Kawajiri, who was seen behind him, chuckled and looked at Kiso Yoshihisa who was standing respectfully behind them and smiled: "Kiso-sama, this Akiyama Nobuya is cursing at you, what do you think? ?"

After hearing this, Kiso Yoshihide looked like he was conscientious, and quickly said: "I dare not have any opinions, I dare not have any opinions."

Hidetaka Kawajiri waved his hand and said softly: "You don't have to be restrained, since you have betrayed Takeda, you should deceive the castle gate of Iwamura as a member of the family, and that is the confidant of the family, but it doesn't matter what you say."

Hearing this, Kiso Yoshihide sighed, and said with a flattering expression: "Return to Lord Kajiri, now I am the minister of the Oda clan, and I am loyal and loyal to my lord. As for the curse of the Akiyama faithful, I don’t care. NS."

Hearing Kiso Yoshimasa's words, Oda Shintada wiped a trace of contempt on his face, then raised his hand and cut it down.

After that, the Oda family on the banks of the Nagara River raised the bamboo spear in their hands, and stabbed the four of Akiyama's faithful and his wife and his retainers from all sides.

Puff!

The spear pierced through the flesh and blood, immediately soaking the sand on the shore of the Nagara River.

Oda Nobuya waved his hand and signaled Kiso Yoshimo to withdraw.

There was a trace of anger on Kiso Yoshihide's face, but he immediately suppressed it, knelt down and gave a deep salute, before turning to Shubu before turning away.

Kawajiri Hidetaka loyally said to Oda Nobuya, "Why Lord, I don't like this Kiso Yoshihide."

Oda Nobuada said indifferently: "It's not like it or hating it, but the seller, I will never reuse it, so I will be colder now, lest he doesn't know how to advance or retreat in the future. I don't want to see the second Song Yongxiu show again. ."

Kawajiri Hidetaka said: "When the former lord was there, he could tolerate Song Yongxiu, and there is his reason. Those who give generous gifts can quickly grasp the hearts of the people."

Oda Nobuya waved his hand~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Apparently he didn't want to talk about this topic with Kawajiri Hidetaka.

Oda Nobuya solemnly said: "Since Iwamura Castle has been lowered, the gap in the Higashi Mino Nakayama Road has been filled. Moreover, Yoshihisa Kiso was instigated, and the gateway of Takeda Kenan Shinano opened. I took this opportunity to do a great job. Use troops to break into Shinano, what do you think?"

Hidetaka Kawajiri thought about it carefully, and said: "The lord, in the opinion of the ministers, the power of the family will not be destroyed for the time being. The Takeda family will not be destroyed. If Shinano is carried out prematurely, it will conflict with the Uesugi family, who is determined to win. It can’t be so until it’s uncertain."

"According to the views of the ministers, we can take advantage of the trend of victory. The return army will attack the Takeda family Hida Viet Chu Legion Kajita Castle and Gujo Hachiman Castle. The two cities will be captured and the entire Shinano region will be recovered. This is the top priority. Policy."

After listening to Kawajiri Hidetaka's words, Oda Nobuya nodded, admiring the local words: "Kawajiri-sama, you deserve to be my Zhuge, just follow your words."

And just as Oda Nobuya was preparing to send his teacher back to attack Kajida Castle, a samurai hurried to the castle tower and reported to them: "Master, the Hokuriku regiment has suffered a big defeat on the banks of the river Tottori!". .
