Pillars of the Wu family

() The cavalry of Kira's family charged into the Honjo army's main line like a gust of red wind blowing across the wilderness, and the Dabaoji army saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly turned around and retreated. His 500 men hadn't touched it yet Nearly a hundred combat forces were lost on the sidelines, and it would be death if they did not retreat in the face of the wolves and tigers of Kira's army.

Without the support of the left wing, the Honjo army, which was fighting with the Kira Army's Ashgaru formation, became a shackle. The main force on the front was restrained and seriously affected its mobility. assault.

Kira Yoshishi pursued the cavalry detour and assault tactics. He never confronted the enemy's frontal force, especially he did not engage in positional warfare with the ashigaru. His tactical thinking was fully implemented. The two hundred horsemen of the Honzhuang Army, which were attacked by the fierce tiger, were retreating steadily. It didn't take long for the two hundred warriors on horseback in the Honzhuang Army to disappear.

With the trend of the front line collapsing, Honzhuang Fanchang couldn't sit still any longer, and hastily urged his horses to rush out of the formation, shouting: "The whole army is attacking, we must stop the Kira Army cavalry!"

Dozens of samurai on horseback from the dealer came out to bring the situation back to a slight disadvantage. At least Shigenaga Honjo personally went into battle to stimulate morale, but then the situation was quickly brought back. Move the mount and rush to the front line to directly confront Honzhuang Fanchang.

"Shigecho Honjo! Let me, Tokimashi Takikawa, finish you off!"

With the help of the great power of the horse's charge, Takigawa Tokimashi swung the Minju spear in his hand and stabbed violently. The bloody smell and the chill on the blade made his sweat pores explode. Under the crisis, Honjo Shigetsu Chang's reaction was extremely quick, one sideways avoided the fatal attack, and the two of them looked at each other for a moment as they passed by, making Honzhuang Fanchang feel the feeling of fear for the first time.

Fighting against the horse again, Honjo Shigeru suddenly felt that his clothes were soaked. He had already been shocked by the blow and broke into a cold sweat at some point. He no longer cared about the dignity of the samurai, and hurriedly shouted: "Jiro Yaba, grandson Jiro, You Mingping Youbingwei, come and help me!"

"Yes!" Two confidantes of Shigenaga Honjo rushed over on horseback. At this time, Takigawa Tokimashi just arrived with another surprise attack. Facing the three people who were stabbing at the same time with their big guns, Takikawa Tokimashi stretched out his arms He slammed his gun to block, and knocked the three big guns away with brute force. Benzhuang Fanchang reacted the fastest, and pulled back the broken long gun the moment the big gun bounced off.

This instant quick-witted response saved his life, but the other two were not so lucky. Takigawa Tokimasuke stabbed Yawa Ikeson Jiro with a single shot, and Ariakehira Uhei was also taken away by the arrow that flew suddenly. Fate, Honjo Fanchang caught a glimpse of Shimao Tokikatsu not far away, and immediately turned around and fled. At this time, there were not many samurai on horseback around him.

Takikawa Tokima stopped unhurriedly and shouted: "The enemy general, I have taken Yawa Ichigo-san Jiro! Sako, keep him!"

"I know!" Shimatoki Katsuo bowed his bow and shot out another arrow in an instant, hitting the hindquarters of Honjo's long mount, the horse was shocked and staggered in pain, Takigawa Tokimashi took out the lasso and rode forward , Trapped Fanchang, who had been smashed to pieces, and dragged him away from the battlefield.

"Honjo Shigecho has been captured!" The news was like a storm blowing in all directions. Whether it was the Supreme Army that was advancing all the way, or the Kurokawa Army that was tepid and entangled, they all retreated at the same time, as the main force of the Honjo coalition forces. , Honjo's direct defeat in the battle dealt a huge blow to the coalition forces.

First of all, the Honjo army put down their weapons and accepted the prisoners. Fortunately, it didn’t take long. The Honjo army killed more than 400 people in battle, while the Kira army only paid the price of minor or serious injuries to hundreds of people without a single death. In terms of equipment, training, and discipline The gap between them was fatal. The Honjo army with different orders could not form an effective counterattack at all. The frontal conflict could not take any advantage.

After this defeat, the whole situation began to collapse. The Supreme Army left the fat in hand and turned around to flee. The Taibaoji Army had already died. If he didn’t escape now, he would definitely have no chance to run again. The Kurokawa Army wanted to retreat but was killed by Nakajo Tengzi To be restrained by death, unless Kurokawa Mori is willing to cut his tail to survive, he can escape, but the current situation is obviously no longer possible to fight.

"Moriji Kurokawa surrendered! Shigecho Honjo surrendered! The Supreme Army retreated, we won!"

The red cavalry of the Kira family is still reluctantly chasing the top army. Although this is not very meaningful, after harvesting a hundred or so lives, all of them will be reversed. a full stop.

Two days later, in Honjo Castle, the Echigo post-war evaluation meeting was held here, and the entire country of Xiaetsu came to hear the news. People from the Miura Party, the Chichibu Party, the Daimi Party, and the Sasaki Party all attended the evaluation meeting.

The first is to punish Honjo Shigecho and Kurokawa Morimi who directly led the rebellion. The two were tied up and taken into the hall by Wuhuada. Facing familiar faces in the hall, or sympathetic or mocking eyes, the two defeated soldiers The general's face was very ugly, especially the Kira family's habit of disrespecting the captive general made them very angry.

Ben Zhuang Fanchang said angrily: "Why do you want to tie us up? Even if we are defeated, we still have dignity!"

"Dignity? Do you have this thing?" Yoshitomo Kira sneered, and gestured to Tokimashi Takigawa and Tokatsu Shima, and the two kicked them down with one foot, and they shouted loudly: "What dignity do you have? !Treason!"

Now Kurokawa Mori was also angry, and cursed: "We are not retainers of Wuwei Palace, why do you treat us like this? You bastards, help me!"

The "bastards" that Mori Kurokawa said were the people from the Shimoetsu country in the hall, but who will help them at this time, Tsuna of the Chichibu Party, Yoshitsuna Takemata, Tsunasada Shinhota, and Hiroya Isokono are watching the show carefully. Appreciate the expressions of the two.

At this moment, a familiar figure appeared outside the assessment room. Shinhota Tsunasada happened to catch a glimpse of it, and immediately exclaimed: "Huh? Hojo Tangomori?"

"Yes! It's me!" After several days of mental torture, Takahiro Hojo became thinner several times compared to his previous burly figure, and his original face of a bandit full of flesh became sharp and angular, but his body The bandit spirit still persists.

Many people were keenly aware that he seemed to have some strange changes, and before they had time to think about it, they saw an astonishing scene, Hojo Takahiro swept across the many samurai warriors in the hall, and directly leaned over and said: "Hojo Takahiro is late! Let the owner wait for a long time!"

"My lord, what's going on?" Not only the Xiayue people in the hall were shocked, but even the samurai of Kira's family were also a little surprised. Only Yoshihiro Kira, who was sitting on the master's seat, smiled.

"Gao Guang Xingyue has come, I am very relieved! How do these two people think Gao Guang should deal with it?"

"Those who don't know how to repent must not be tolerated!" Hojo Takahiro obviously came prepared, nodded to him when he saw Kirayoshi, and immediately walked over to hold the heads of Kurokawa Morimi and Honjo Shigeru, and said sharply: "Look clearly Who is the person on the throne? Are you still obsessed with it?"

"Hojo Takahiro! Are you crazy! Let me go!" Kurokawa Mori was startled and angry, this guy went crazy today, and he became like this in a blink of an eye. He is the most dishonest person in the world people.

In contrast, Honjo Fanchang was even more arrogant. Even if his head was pressed on the tatami, his mouth cursed mercilessly: "Hojo Takahiro! Let me go! Otherwise, Fanchang will definitely kill you!"

"The owner is here, who are you going to kill! Idiot!" Takikawa Tokimasa, who had retreated to watch the play, was furious. Nagasaka Nobumasa rolled his eyes: "Come quickly and stop him!"

"Oh!" Nagasaka Nobumasa ran over and two fierce generals worked together to hold down the brute Takikawa Tokimashi. Seeing the groans coming from under the tatami between the three of them, the people who went down could not help but feel sorry for them. Tokimashi Takikawa brought down Hojo Takahiro and Honjo Shigecho, the old and new generations, at a young age, and his future achievements may be unimaginable.

"Hojo Tango doesn't have to be a villain, I'll do it!" Honda saw that the heat was about the same, so he stood up and looked at the two criminals who looked like dead dogs with a smile, and said loudly: "I am always rewarding and punishing the Ashikaga family. Fairness, no hesitation in rewarding those who have made meritorious deeds, and naturally no punishment for those who have done wrong, and rebellion is a first-class crime set by my house owner. Considering the special situation of Echigo, my house owner temporarily takes the position of Echigo king. Therefore, the punishment is particularly light.”

Benzhuang Fanchang asked angrily: "Why should we be punished?"

"Why?" Ben Duoshi sneered, glanced at the Xiayue people, and then said slowly: "By virtue of your duty as a minister of the Chichibu and Miura parties of the Hei family!"

"What?" The words were not as simple as surprise. The people of the country, such as Nakajo Tengzi and Sebu Katsunaga, frowned, and couldn't help wondering what this Wuweidian meant. No one can shake the post-lord. Since the Oshu Astronomical Rebellion broke out more than ten years ago, the confrontation between Nakajo Tengzi and the head of the house led to the division of the Yangbei people who were originally monolithic.

Nakajo Fujiko took the lead in taking refuge in Nagao Keigoro was a start, and then the Chinese who went down to the country either actively or passively joined Nagao Keigoro, but they did not really obey the Echigo Dragon. The first Kawanakajima battle, Nagao Wei Jinghu has been writing letters repeatedly urging Sebu Shengchang to lead the army to go out, and he doesn't even come to participate in the bimonthly big evaluation, which shows how free and carefree these Xiayue people are living.

Fujiko Nakajo couldn't help asking: "What does Wuweidian mean?"

"My family means..." Yoshitoki Kira stood up slowly, and said with a smile, "Of course I want to order Echiko in the name of the So Ashikaga family!" (To be continued.)
