A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Chapter 70 29. Momentary selfishness leads to bad things

The siege ramp that was piled up without any expense or casualties caused the Odawara outer base with a slope of fifty degrees to lose its original insurmountable attribute.

The Hojo army in the city was also surprised that the ten-meter-high earthen rampart, which they thought was like a natural moat, was leveled so easily. The original key defense areas were also at each city gate, but the result was a direct attack on the fortress, which was unexpected.

In fact, according to Koheita's idea, the most elite Echigo samurai headquarters or the backbone of each army should be mobilized to pile up the soil on the slope and strike with thunder, catching Hojo by surprise.

But the facts will definitely make people laugh. Nagao Kagetora was not willing to let his Echigo soldiers die, and it was impossible to separate the more than 10,000 samurai warriors of the Kwantung Allied Army to build an army alone. As a result, the first wave of people to rush up the slope was Mr. An Jian's wife and his wife Tagaya.

The navy of the Satomi Army was probably one of the best in East Japan. After all, the record was there, the number of ships, and the quality of the sailors were not bad. But what about the Satomi clan's infantry? Let's not talk for a long time in front of the eunuchs. Anyway, it’s like novices pecking each other, and it’s hard to tell how good they are.

Not to mention the Tagatani clan, the wife of the lower boss, she was originally a retainer of the Yuki clan, one of the Bando Eight Houses. However, the Yuki clan's power has declined, and now it can only be regarded as an ally of the Yuki clan, uniting to deal with the gangsters from all directions. In history, he finally fell out with the Yuki clan, and even bit off a piece of meat from the Yuki clan. Today, the Tagatani clan does not have the power and power of a small Shikoku Daimyo in the future, with a total territory of 12,000 kan. So I brought a thousand people to make do with it. I originally thought that Nagao Kagetora would eat meat and drink some soup himself, but he was directly called out and went to rush to the city unwillingly.

But the facts are making fun of us again. Xiaopingtai thought that nothing would happen today and was going to wash up and go back to sleep. But I don’t know if it’s because Hojo is too bad or because Satomi is too strong. Five hundred soldiers were seen using the Zhengmu meal as a sharp knife, and they rushed to the top of the slope.

So that everyone knows, this Masaki Daisen is also a famous brave general in southern Kanto. Born in Soshu, Dazai was born in the Himasagi family, and was known as Qian Dashan. Dashan means the big meal in the official position. The word "gun" was a compliment from the southern Kanto region for his proficiency in martial arts and his ability to defeat more than thirty people.

He can dance with a spear that makes the wind rustle, and it is not much different if he kills a person or a Buddha. Anyway, it can't be compared with ordinary weaklings. It belongs to the kind of samurai with the real Four Heavenly Kings and Eight Spears, Aogami and Red Demon level.

Then they saw Masaki Ozen (Tokishige) holding a vermilion spear, climbing to the top of the slope. There was a fence on the top of the slope to block it. The three Hojo Ashugaru saw Masaki Ozen's bright armor and knew that he was a samurai, so they did not hesitate to attack him. The thorn comes. Zhengmu Dashan's years of bad fighting have proven that they were not in vain. The red spear danced like an airtight ball, with a burst of crackling, swinging between the spears stabbing from the left and right, and shot three points along the gap in the fence. Those three Mingzu Qing fell down in response.

A gap three to five meters wide suddenly appeared in front of the Satomi Army's attack. Such good opportunities were rare. After all, who would have thought that three-on-one would not require three moves. They actually saw the truth within a minute, and the three Hojo soldiers were all heartbroken. Others are still entangled with others, so no one can be distracted and take care of everything. For a while, no one could add anyone else.

Seeing the opportunity, several samurai ashigaru who were guarding Masaki's meal seized the opportunity and quickly took out the ropes they carried with them to tie the fence. They all shouted and hey, and several people pulled back hard. The fence fell down. It only took a minute for the gap to open, leaving Xiaoping speechless in shock.

Sure enough, in this era, one brave general is more effective than hundreds of soldiers.

There was a brief cheer from the top of the slope, and then more fences were pushed down or pulled down. Although the Satomi army was not fighting against the Hojo army, they could already see groups of Satomi fan patterns gathering together to entangle Hojo. fight.

The momentum of the Kwantung Allied Forces became increasingly high, and Nagao Kagetora of the main force also dispatched Hojo Takahiro and Nagao, the main force of the second line, to rush forward casually to expand the results of the battle.

Xiao Pingtai looked back and observed that two additional troops quickly gathered together, each with hundreds of people. Further back, the rumble of drums came from Nagao Kagetora's main formation, and even the Tagatani army who was like a fish next to him began to fight with the Hojo army at the fence. There will be a great deal of determination to complete the work and the momentum of this one move.

But seeing the Hojo Army on the fortress being divided and eliminated, the Satomi Army was about to succeed. A yellow horse sign with decayed leaves and the words Hachiman Bodhisattva written on it moved down the slope amidst thunderous cheers. The Hojo army, which had been weakened, regained its fighting spirit and fought back with guns and swords.

The new troops on the Hojo side shouted "Victory! Victory! Our army has won!" They lined up in a dense forest of guns and charged towards the top of the base. Masaki Daisen's army was all close-quarters warriors and long-range ashigaru, and they did not bring any bow ashigaru or iron cannon ashigaru. It was completely unable to suppress the attacking Hojo force. What's more, there are more opponents than others, and the home court advantage is obvious. Although it is a bit offensive, it is not false at all.

The rotten leaves, yellow flags, eight flags and horse flags behind them are so inspiring, even if their martial arts skills are as high as Masaki Dasan. The tip of his spear kept blooming all by himself, stabbing and stabbing many Hojo Ashgaru samurai to death, but he could not intimidate the attacking Hojo soldiers.

Under the continuous wave-like impact of the Hojo Army, the Satomi Army retreated step by step. Kodaira knew that Hojo Tsunari was approaching the battle, and the most elite Tamanagi under his command must have also been on the battlefield. With the addition of soldiers with such high morale, Hojo's defense was rock solid, but it really fell short.

I don't know who shouted, turned around and dragged their spears backwards, abandoning the battle. The Satomi army abandoned the corpses of dozens of their companions and retreated like a tide. Flags and weapons were thrown everywhere. Several injured soldiers were unable to escape and were directly hit by the counterattacking Hojo Army.

Koheita looked back, and saw Nagao Kagetora, who was playing the drums with high spirits and high spirits in the center, threw the drumsticks to the ground and stood there sighing.

However, Masaki Daisen was dragged by the defeated soldiers and retreated to the iron gunner's bunker. He angrily threw his blood-stained helmet on the ground. With a clang, blood splashed on the face of the ashigaru next door, and then he pointed his red spear and cursed angrily.

Satomi Yiyao came over to comfort him, saying that Masaki Dazan was the main figure in the retainer group and should not be ignored. Then I started to count the casualties. Several warriors died, and my body hurt for three minutes.

On the other side, the Tagatani clan also retreated, but there were only a few scattered corpses on the slope, and they did not work hard, that's all.

Even if the trenches were filled and earth slopes were built, Odawara's castle town could not be invaded in one fell swoop.

Selfishness is bad for big things!

It's Saturday, let's start pretending.
