A tour of Japan's Warring States Period
Chapter 205 9. Yoshimoto’s death in Kazama
"Suruga Jibu accepts his orders!"
A loud shout passed through the rain curtain and violently penetrated into the shogunate of Imagawa Yoshimoto.
"Surprise attack?" Of course Imagawa Yoshimoto only had this idea in his mind, but he was not afraid at all. There were the most elite Suruga Hatamoto warriors on Oehazama Mountain and more than 300 nearby employees. One or two thousand miscellaneous soldiers were not enough. They killed.
A samurai can fight three or five miscellaneous soldiers, and ten samurai can fight a hundred miscellaneous soldiers. More than three hundred samurai? Does anyone know Kizakihara? Three hundred people only killed three or four thousand people, and they just killed the enemy generals in formation.
Besides, Imagawa Yoshimoto was not intimidated. He was also the governor of the Imagawa family who fought bloody battles during the Hanakura Rebellion. Although his strength may not be that high, he is physically strong and well-equipped with armor. It would be impossible for an ordinary samurai to slash him with a junk Muramasa without even leaving a white mark on him.
However, he is a general now, so of course he cannot leave the battle. He only needs to sit firmly in the middle of the army, wave the flag, and let the soldiers commanded by Yamashita Ujihiro Sekiguchi and Abe Motoshin work together to surround and destroy the surprise attack troops.
After all, even if Oda Nobunaga attacked with all his strength, he would only have 4,000 men, while Yoshimoto's own team had more than 4,000 men. The same four thousand people don't mean the same thing. Less than half of the four thousand people in Yiyuan are brightly armored samurai, and they are all the elite accumulated by the ten generations of the Imagawa family. Ordinary ashigaru are also standing ashigaru raised with the golden blessing of Fuji Jinshan. Most of them have been in battle for a long time and have rich experience.
Nobunaga's army, except for his mother-in-law and ashigaru, still consisted of the vast majority of mobilized peasant soldiers and ashigaru. Their quality was good and bad, and they went with the wind and against the wind, perfectly reflecting the "samurai family's true character".
So Yoshimoto didn't panic at all, and pointed to the Hatamoto samurai who had just spoken about Mount Okehazama, "Misaku is willing to defeat the invading soldiers for me?"
The young samurai named Anhara Misaku Morigenmasa looked excited and was ordered by Yoshitsune. The Anhara clan is an old and important minister of the Imagawa clan. This person also has a element in his name, which shows that he is also a new generation of samurai from the Anhara clan. Moreover, he also serves as the banner general of Yoshimoto, and his status and reputation are sufficient, so he can naturally lead the troops to fight against the enemy. Imagawa Yoshimoto can be regarded as the eldest son among the short ones. The generals are all outside, but it is just a good time to promote the newcomers.
Anhara Motomasa lived up to Imagawa Yoshimoto's expectations for him at all, and brought no more than a hundred banner warriors down the mountain to meet the enemy. He himself was originally from a famous martial arts family. He had practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his subordinates were also strong soldiers. Soon, "Oda family elder Sasa Hayato Masakatsuchi has been asked for!" "Oda family ashigaru general Chiaki Shiro has been asked for!".
One after another, famous warriors from the Oda Army's surprise attack team were asked for, and the Yoshimoto team, which was still a little turbulent at first, became active again at this moment. As expected, the Oda army was so vulnerable that they managed to get close to Yoshimoto's main team and launched a surprise attack. As a result, the whole group was chopped down and no one was left alive. Even a famous samurai like Sasatsu Katsumi was begged, so it was really not a big deal.
Imagawa Yoshimoto then ordered the soldiers resting along Tianrakuza not to come. The Oda raiding team had been wiped out by a mere 100 men sent by him, allowing the army to continue to camp.
It was now one o'clock in the afternoon, and the rain in the sky was getting heavier and heavier. After General Anhara Genmasa sent someone to dedicate the head he sought to Yoshitoshi, he continued to pursue the fleeing Oda army.
Yoshimoto felt something was wrong, but the combat effectiveness of the Oda Army was right in front of him. Two to three hundred surprise attack teams attacked Yoshimoto, but were defeated by a mere hundred people, which really made Yoshimoto not pay attention to the Oda Army. So he no longer stopped Anhara Motomasa's pursuit, and only ordered him to return to the team before dark.
At that time, a sudden change occurred. In the world that had been completely covered by heavy rain, more than a thousand Oda troops shouted in unison from the west to the north and tore apart the rain curtain. Without any formation, they launched a desperate attack on the Yoshimoto main formation on Okehazama Mountain. assault.
At this time, Yoshimoto panicked. Due to the heavy rain, he braved the heavy rain and glanced at the Oda army on the field. It was roughly estimated that there were two thousand people (about). This number was almost ten times that of his bannermen, and they were simply unable to resist.
At the same time, the heavy rain made the road even more muddy. The Suruga people with more than 4,000 people on the left and right were stuck in the mud and unable to move, making it impossible to go up the mountain to defend against the enemy. In addition, Yoshimoto first wanted to go up the mountain to support, then canceled the order, and then went up the mountain to support again. The orders were switched back and forth. Ujihiro Sekiguchi and Moto Abe were really at a loss and had no idea what Yoshimoto was going to do.
In just ten minutes of panic, more than a thousand Oda troops broke into Yoshimoto's main formation despite heavy rain. As soon as Yoshimoto saw that the situation was not right, he immediately turned around and retreated to the northeast under the escort of more than a hundred Hatamoto. There were 4,000 Gokai people led by his uncle Ujimasa Kamahara, his nephew Kuno Mototada, and his sister-in-law Asai Masatoshi, who were about 4,000 meters away. He is only one mile at most.
His own team, the Surugas, could only delay him in the mud for a small amount of time.
Nobunaga, who was not far away, finally saw Yoshimoto's side of Imagawa's two-horse flag, and encouraged the Owari generals not to cut off their heads, and all aimed at killing Yoshimoto.
The soldiers were also inspired to fight and launched a brave attack on the hillside. Soon the 100 Imagawa banners who stayed behind were overwhelmed by the wave of Oda troops. The Oda army took advantage of the situation and went down the mountain, risking their lives to pursue Yi Yuan.
Nobunaga also abandoned his horses and joined the pursuit on foot with more than a dozen attendants of minor surnames.
"Where is Imagawa Yoshimoto? The Oda family's flag, Hattori Koheita (I like this name) Chun'an, came to ask for advice!" The first Oda samurai killed in front of Imagawa Yoshimoto.
"You nameless man, please die quickly!" Although Yoshimoto was a little embarrassed, he suddenly slashed at Hattori Koheita with the world-famous Yoshimoto Zumon. The aura of the famous general who dominated Kaidou instantly suppressed this Koheita.
While he was stunned, Yoshimoto slashed Hattori Koheita's right knee with a knife, and Hattori Koheita threw him down on the spot.
However, the sacrifice of Hattori Koheita allowed more Oda samurai to enter Yoshimoto's body. "Mouri Shinnosuke Ryokatsu came to ask for advice!"
Another samurai stabbed Yoshimoto violently with the spear in his hand. Yoshimoto was unable to return the sword in time and was stabbed in the arm. Yoshimoto was in pain and the sword fell to the ground. Shinsuke Mouri pounced and pushed Yoshimoto to the ground. How could Yoshimoto be willing to decapitate him?
He opened his mouth and bit down on Mouri Shinsuke's right hand that was choking his neck, and immediately bit off both fingers. But Mouri Shinsuke gritted his teeth, took out his ribs, and stabbed Yoshimoto's neck.
Yiyuan's eyes widened, and his face covered with blood kept fading and gradually became gray.
"Haido Ichi no Yutori", the most advantageous Genji sect in the world, Imagawa Yoshimoto, who had the ambition to rectify the world, died in Kazama!
