A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Chapter 747 28. The winner of Shitarahara has been decided

The resistance on the main platform was surprisingly resolute, and the combination of "Retreat Sakuma" and "Forward Shibata" was particularly capable!

However, the various troops retreating to Okazaki were able to maintain their formation at first. However, they were repeatedly harassed by the Yamauchi Army, the Echigo Army, and the Kitahata Army. Gradually, they lost their order, and the team began to lose touch, and even dispersed in a hurry. .

"The lord of Kariya Castle, Mizuno Shimono Morinobu, has been acquired by me, Hirasawa Gaikiemon!" There was another shout on the battlefield, and thousands of troops spread the news.

"Which samurai is this Hirasawa Gaiki?" Ashikaga Yoshiaki remembered that this was the same person who sought Oda Nobutada's death not long ago.

"It seems to be the Rogues of the Kitahata Clan." Isshiki Giyu was not sure at the side.

Zen Master Shizukora, who originally wielded the ghost gold stick to kill on the battlefield, has now found the Yamauchi army and conveyed the news to Ashikaga Yoshiaki that the Kitahata people had turned against him and wanted to kill Oda Nobutada. He said that the Kitabatake people were the ones who instigated the rebellion by Ashikaga Yoshiaki before, and they have always been loyal to the shogunate. Please take a closer look at Ashikaga Yoshiaki.

When talking about seeking the death of Oda Nobutada, he mentioned that it was a samurai who came from a noble background and performed meritorious service to seek his death. Having achieved such a special honor, and now actually seeking to kill the Oda clan's national castle lord, General Mizuno Nobuyoshi, it really made people interested and wanted to recruit him.

Speaking of which, Mizuno Shingen's death was not unjust. He relied on the fact that he was a wealthy native of the country at the junction of Owari and Mikawa, and he was relatively familiar with the nearby mountain roads. Seeing that the road was crowded with a large number of fleeing Oda troops and Tokugawa troops, he was ready to take advantage of his innate advantages and escape through the ravine.

Although Midōyama was occupied by the Kitahata Army, the Kitahata Army was also new to the area. Mizuno Nobumoto believed that he could perfectly avoid the Kitahata Army. As a result, he survived and ran into Hirasawa Yimasa who had already chopped off the head of "Oda Nobutada" and returned to the mountain to rest contentedly. Ping Zeye has made great achievements, but it is a pity that other langshis have not achieved anything yet.

The two groups suddenly met in the ravine. They stared at each other. After confirming that they were not one of their own, they started fighting with knives!

The disadvantage of Mizuno Nobumoto was that he was running away in a small team with dozens of cronies around him, while the Kitahata Army that had not been captured numbered thousands. Even if you don't chop off his head, you can still make a small fortune with his armor and knife.

The eyes of all the rogues were red, and they rushed forward. Ping Zeye was thinking that idleness was nothing but idleness. The poor village of Ueno, his hometown, had long been annihilated in the tug-of-war back and forth from Kanto. Now it would be better to do more.

So if a person is lucky, nothing can stop him!

If the rogues had not captured the enemy's important ministers and generals, they would have been dismissed after the war and were rewarded with money and rice. So most people are competing for the spoils. After all, no one knows Mizuno Shingen, although Mizuno Shingen may look like an ashigaru team leader or an ashigaru general in his attire.

After Hirasawa Yemasa and two family members chopped down Mizuno Nobugen, they discovered that it was a big fish and a famous name!

"You can call this person here later!" Ashikaga Yoshiaki ordered.

With this person's two heads, there is no problem in exchanging them for a banner with a salary of 200 yuan. After all, gathering some capable and capable talents now and enriching the base of Yamauchi will be equivalent to enriching the imperial family team of the new Ashikaga Shogunate in the future.

Now that the Allied Allied Forces have collapsed, Ashikaga Yoshiaki is left with only 2,000 miscellaneous soldiers from Echigo and Takanashi, and 500 guards from Yamauchi's Hatamoto Division. To put it bluntly, these miscellaneous soldiers in Echigo are actually the grooms, young men, handymen, and family members of the cavalry who rushed out. After all, people can take care of themselves, but horses need considerable care, especially war horses.

In the end, Lian Yuliu couldn't restrain himself and rushed out to practice their skills with the Changyi people. After all, they are still young at heart. Honda Tadakatsu and Sakakibara Yasumasa were originally itchy because they did not participate in the battle, but now they ran out like a joy.

Everyone in this team is watching the battle on the Dansho Platform, which is considered the last battlefield in the entire Shitarahara. The Yamauchi Army's left wing encircled and annihilated the Tokugawa Okazakis, and the headquarters of the Yamauchi Chief Planning Office suddenly burst out into cheers.

"Tokugawa Mikawa Mamoru has been begged by me, Kurokawa Shinpachiro Keitoku!"

"Tokugawa Mikawa Mamoru has been begged by me, Kurokawa Shinpachiro Keitoku!"

"Tokugawa Mikawa Mamoru has been begged by me, Kurokawa Shinpachiro Keitoku!"

One shout after another reached the Yamauchi team. Not only Ashikaga Yoshiaki, but almost everyone in the team was overjoyed. If this kills Tokugawa Ieyasu, then the entire Nishi Mikawa will completely collapse, and Okazaki Castle will be destroyed without attack.

The Yamauchi army can directly enter Owari, and cooperate with Nagashima to attack Kiyosu Castle together, seize the entire Owari in one fell swoop, and threaten Nobunaga's home base of Mino Gifu Castle.

A young warrior held a head and ran over to offer it to Ashikaga Yoshiaki with blood dripping from his eyes. Ashikaga Yoshiaki saw that this samurai looked familiar, and after a moment's thought, he turned out to be a Hatamoto of the Fourth Division. He had served the Yamauchi clan for two generations, and he was regarded as a family retainer.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Ashikaga Yoshiaki certainly didn't have to go and see the head himself.

Naturally, our team has the military personnel to inspect the head. The first step is to inspect the evidence, because often the head of a dead person may not be well preserved, and you may not be able to distinguish it clearly just by looking at the face. Therefore, it depends on whether the seized pills and helmets have a note with Miao's name on them inside, and whether the armor itself is commonly used by a certain samurai.

It is obvious that the tangguan-shaped pocket in front of me is Tokugawa Ieyasu's favorite head pocket, and there is indeed a note on the inside that reads "Tokugawa Mikawa Mori Ieyasu". As for the armor, it is just an ordinary piece of clothing of the time and cannot be seen. Tokugawa Ieyasu showed his dignity as a daimyo.

Looking at the head again, it looks like a samurai in his forties, definitely not Tokugawa Ieyasu, who is only thirty-one years old this year.

It would be much easier if it was Koheta here, because this person is quite easy to recognize. He is the important minister of the Tokugawa clan, the lord of Rokuguri Castle, and Natsume Jirozaemon Yoshinobu of Mikawa Hatman County.

"Write it down for now! Check again later!" Ashikaga Yoshiaki was helpless. There was no veteran in the team who was familiar with the Tokugawa family and the Mikawa clan.

After Udono Changteru, who rushed out to chase after him, comes back, he can probably tell who this person is, but there is a high probability that he is just a shadow warrior.

"Your Highness! Our army has invaded Taiyuan and will soon defeat the Oda army!" An envoy rushed to the front of the team, was stopped, knelt down on one knee and reported loudly.

Hearing the sound, he looked over and saw that Uncle Tsuna's Sunshine and Moonlight horse mark had reached halfway up the Danzheng platform, and was only a few dozen meters away from Shibata Katsuie's second-influenced wild goose horse mark. It only takes about one last sudden advance to defeat the Oda army that is holding on to Taihara and win the battle of Shitarahara.
