A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

This time, even the judges were unanimous in their opinions, not to move for the time being. Anyway, with Sakai Town at their back, supplies would be easy.

The news is so confusing, who knows what kind of situation Oda Nobunaga is. You can make mistakes in anything you do at this time, and since Kinai is unfamiliar with the place, if you make a mistake, you will most likely end up dead without any body parts.

After just one day, more news came through. The three good people in Setjin got the news and were moving towards Luoyang. It seems that they have the intention to attack Luoyang again.

Fortunately, the Yamauchi army arrived early, otherwise they might bump into the three of them on the way, and a big battle would be inevitable. In the end, Oda Nobunaga was advantaged in vain, and he had one less person to deal with.

Then Matsunagahide and Tsutsui Junkei from Yamato next door also started doing it. Anyway, no one was suppressing them anymore, so the two groups of enemies were extremely jealous when they met. Now they are making friends, and small-scale conflicts continue.

Izumi's guardian Hosokawa Fujitaka is now in Luoyang and has nothing to do with local affairs. There is no chaos around now, it is really being suppressed by fifteen thousand mountain troops, and no one dares to jump out yet.

Everyone spent the next few days in tension. During this period, he managed to contact Luoyang once, and Hosokawa Fujitaka sent back a letter saying that the situation in Luoyang was okay, but Murai Sadakatsu, who was guarding Luoyang, was also a little panicked, and was sending people to Gifu one after another to understand the situation of the Oda family.

And after the news of the Anegawa war was constantly summarized and sorted out, it finally became clear!

There is no doubt that Asai Nagamasa betrayed Oda Nobunaga. After Oda Nobunaga entered Jiangbei, he united with the 15,000 people who came to support Asakura Keike who participated in the war. Twenty-five thousand people from the two armies faced each other in the early morning. The Oda Matsudaira coalition forces resting in the Anegawa Yokoyama area launched a surprise attack.

Among them, Asai Nagamasa had 10,000 people and Oda Nobunaga had 19,000 people, and Asakura Kaikai had 15,000 people and Matsudaira Ieyasu had 5,000 people. The abacus was very loud, and the Asai army made a surprise attack on Oda, disrupting the deployment of the Oda army. The Asakura Army attacked Matsudaira with three times the number of troops, hoping to quickly defeat the Matsudaira Army and then attack the Oda Army from the flank. The two armies joined together and completely killed Oda Nobunaga in Anegawa.

The planning was perfect, the layout and morale were very high. Asai Nagamasa and Asakura Keike used their most elite and brave generals on the front line to prepare for a single battle.

However, the development of things was very different from the two of them's expectations. Under the fierce attack of Isono Yumasha, the Asai army quickly broke through several groups of troops outside Nobunaga, and the entire army quickly approached Nobunaga's main team.

Asakura Jingjing relied on his numerical advantage to suppress the Matsudaira army at the beginning, and the battle progressed quite smoothly.

The Matsudaira army took the lead with Ogasawara Nagatada, with Sakai Chuji and Torii Motoda on the right wing, Ishikawa Sumasa, Naito Nobushige, and Okubo Tadashi on the left wing, and Ieyasu personally took charge of the center.

Faced with the fierce attack of the Asakura Army's fierce general Shinata Jurozaemon Naotaka, the Matsudaira Army was suddenly unstoppable. The armies were shocked and retreated one after another. His younger brother Makata Naochei and his son Makata Longji also participated in the battle. These three were really killing people when they stood in their way, and killing Buddhas when they stood in the way of Buddha. He was about to rush to Matsudaira Ieyasu's main formation, kill the generals and seize the flag.

Seeing such a general rushing forward, the Matsudaira army stopped talking about courtesy and honor. The four brothers of Gosaka Shikibu rushed forward, and the four big men besieged the sixty-two-year-old Naotaka Mane. However, Naotaka Magata was not afraid. He came up and slashed Gorojiro Gosaka to death with one strike. He turned around and cut off Gosaka Shikibu's palm with a knife, and fought his way out of the encirclement in a bloody battle.

As a result, Gosaka Rokuro Goro hit Naotaka Makata from behind, knocking the veteran off his horse and taking advantage of the situation to take his head. Seeing that his father died in battle, Mabara Takahiro rushed up on his horse to snatch the head, and killed Rokuro Goro Gosaka with a knife, but he was also trapped in a tight siege and lost to the enemy.

After the death of Asakura's true father and son, the momentum of the Asakura army declined greatly. Tadashi Sakai took advantage of the situation to kill the Asakura army on the flank, and the Asakura army began to retreat in the chaos. Generals such as Kurosaka Beichu, Kobayashi Zuishuken, and Uozumi Zaemon were successively attacked by the Matsudaira army, and the Asakura army, which was three times the size of the Matsudaira army, was defeated.

At this time, the Asai Army did not know about the defeat of the Asakura Army. Isono Danmasa broke through the eleven troops of the Oda Army and killed them all covered with blood. Only 700 troops were left, and Oda Nobunaga arrived before his eyes. before.

The second general who turned the tide of the battle appeared. Kinoshita Hideyoshi led his troops to form a circular formation and blocked the front of Isono Watamasa. Like a rock on the seaside, it actually blocked the fierce offensive of Isono Yuanmao.

Anyway, the tens of thousands of troops in front were defeated. Oda Nobunaga simply put down the Yongle Tongbao big horse mark, and personally went down to the full formation of Inaba Ittetsu, Ando Mamoru and Ujie Fu who were still in the rear. The 4,000 men who commanded the three men of Mino launched a counterattack against Asai's army and surrounded Isono Umasa's advance guard.

Two generals, Captain Endo Kiemon Naotsune and Anyoji Saburozaemon, discovered that the leading force of the Asai Army was surrounded and came to the rescue. However, they were tackled by Kanko Ikeda, who finally recovered, and cooperated with Sasaki Narimasa and Hachiya. Lai Long ate it in one bite.

Of the three fierce generals of Asai's army, two were killed in the battle and one was surrounded and his life or death was unknown. The vanguard suffered serious losses, and the various units immediately began to retreat on their own without any command.

The two sides fought to no avail!

Asai and Asakura failed to achieve their set goals, and Oda and Matsudaira were surprised and unable to pursue them.

In addition, due to the chaos of the battle, people from all directions withdrew from the battlefield on their own in the chaos. Even the troops of generals like Shibata Katsuie ran all the way to Otani Castle Shimo-Ten Town before being contained.

After Oda Nobunaga's Honjin horse flag was brought down, rumors spread everywhere that Oda Nobunaga had been killed by Isono Danmasa. The various ministries were in chaos and could not tell the truth, and many people believed it.

This is also the reason why nearly a thousand Asai and Asakura troops entered Eizan Enryakuji Temple. They withdrew from the battlefield without knowing the direction. They ran out and found that they were going in the opposite direction.

As for those who died in battle, according to the oral accounts compiled by Black Shovelers on the battlefield. Asai Asakura lost a small three thousand, and Oda Matsuhira lost a thousand six.

No one is asking for favors!

"Then where does Gifu Danmasa go?" This is the key, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki is also extremely concerned.

"The Gifu bomb is now at Usayama Castle!"

"Why are you there?" Hosokawa Kainyu was also surprised.

"Mori and Sanzaemon had more than a thousand elite soldiers in Usayama Castle. After hearing about the war at Anegawa, they gathered six thousand troops from the south of the Yangtze River to rescue them. They were intercepted by the Gifu Bomb on the way. Now the Gifu Bomb has a combined force of 12,300. Thousands of people went to Eizan Enryaku Temple."

"Could it be?" Xiao Pingtai was suddenly startled.

"Yes! Gifu Danzheng informed Enryakuji Temple to hand over all the remaining soldiers in Asai and Asakura, and evacuate the gate, otherwise they will be attacked by fire!"

Murakami Yoshimitsu didn't speak loudly, but the people present were frightened when they heard it.
