Chapter 409 Kyoto (6)
"Sir, the bridge cannot be hit!" As soon as Tsuda Hidemasato arrived at the front line, several of his generals rushed to report: "There are many temples behind those bridges. The archers and iron gunners of the Sanhao family stood on the top of the temple to shoot at us. The Sanhao family infantry behind the bridge also fought very tenaciously, so we couldn't rush over!"
Tsuda Hidemasaki hid behind a haystack beside Yakugawa, poked his head out to look at the bridges. These stone bridges were not very wide. There were more than 200 soldiers from three good families garrisoned behind each bridge. There were a large number of archers on the tops of the towers of several temples not far away. The iron gunners were covering and shooting, and they were in a hurry and indirectly approaching.
"Can you find a way to suppress those Sagittarius?" Tsuda Hidemasato thought for a moment, then asked his subordinates.
"It's hard, sir, we don't have many archers! If we really want to suppress those archers and iron gunners, we must make a request for reinforcements to the Asai family." The general under his command answered honestly.
"That's absolutely not possible!" At this point, Tsuda Hidemasaki's attitude was unusual and firm. The victory of the coalition forces has been decided, and all that is left is the battle for honor. The Oda family must not allocate the honor of entering Kyoto to the Asai family!
"Isn't there a shallow over there?" Tsuda Hidemasaki pointed to a relatively gentle and low water area not far from the south. "Let's cross the river from there!"
"Sir," a whispered loudly after hearing the order, a whispered in surprise: "There is no bridge there!"
"The water is not deep there, you can wader by water!" Tsuda Hidemasa swallowed, and said in a deep voice as if he was cheering himself up: "And you know there is no bridge there, and the Miyoshi family knows it too. So you see, they didn't leave many people there to defend! As long as we suddenly attack, we have a chance to go down!"
"Let's go!" Tsuda Hidemasaki raised the samurai sword in his hand and took his 1oo soldiers to the shallow.
The defenders of the Miyo family were indeed deceived by their movements. At first, they thought they were going to the nearby bridge, and transferred more than a dozen people from the shoal to assist in defense. Therefore, when the Takigawa army did not move to the bridge but began to cross the river directly, the defenders of the Miyo family were shocked. The archers and iron gunners in the temple opened fire here in a hurry, but because the distance was a little far, they could not cause much damage. Although the degree of wading slowed down, under the infection of Tsuda Hidemasato, the Takigawa family's footmen all rushed forward and rushed forward with their feet and ground. There were only 20 people in the Sanyo family opposite the shoal. After seeing the Takigawa army like a wolf and a tiger pounced directly, they could not stop the Takigawa army from coming ashore even if they tried hard to resist. By the time the reinforcements of the Miyo family arrived, the more than 10 people of the Takigawa army had occupied a small probe position.
"Good!" Takigawa Ichie, who was commanding behind the formation, waved his fist excitedly after seeing Tsuda Hidemasato landing, "The first credit to climbing the west coast of Kamakawa is us..."
However, before he finished speaking, he saw the flag of the Sen family flying high in the northwest direction. He looked up and saw that the brave Sen Kecheng actually snatched a bridge from the Sanhao family!
"I didn't expect that Mizaemon would be one step faster than me!" Takigawa Ichii smiled with a little self-deprecatingly, "It's all the credit of the Oda family! I send an order to attack immediately and expand the beachhead position!"
·
After Takigawa Ichie and Moriko's troops made significant progress, Asai Nagamasa also ordered the soldiers of the Asai family, the Danwu family and the Ikeda family to attack. More and more beachhead positions were opened, and the coalition forces seized more and more bridges. At the 7th hour of the lunar month, the coalition forces had initially broken through the Kamagawa defense line.
However, just as Nagamasa Asai planned to continue the attack and expand the results of the battle, the direction of their retreat, which is the location of the Okazaki Shrine, suddenly a wolf smoke for calling the police rose.
"What? Behind?" Asai Nagamasa was shocked and hurriedly climbed up to the high ground to look at it. He saw that thousands of war soldiers suddenly rushed out of the Ginkaku Temple in the north on their way to the north and headed straight for the Okazaki Shrine. The defenders with only more than 100 people in the Okazaki Shrine will definitely fall immediately.
"Oh no." Asai Nagamasato secretly said in his heart that if the rear road is cut off, the Northern Route Army will be in danger. But now he has finally settled several beachhead positions and bridges. If he wants to withdraw his troops and return to aid, his previous efforts will be in vain.
"Zhangmasa, leave it to me." Yu Qiupi, who was standing beside Nagamasa Asai, saw his difficulties. "It just so happened that my Changbanbei was not invested in the attack and could turn to reinforcements at any time."
"But the other party has a large number of people, maybe it will be close to 2ooo." Asai Nagamasa looked at the continuous rush of war soldiers from the Ginkaku Temple and whispered with some concern: "It's better to ask Your Highness Oda of Tooba Mountain for reinforcements! Tooba Mountain is located in the middle of the plain, and it is very convenient no matter where you reinforce it!"
"Okay, then I'll take the troops now." Yu Qiuhei made a gesture to Asai Nagamasa and immediately led the 85o soldiers of the Takababa turn around and leave, heading straight to the Okazaki Shrine on the way to the east. As expected, the defenders in the Okazaki Shrine could hardly form effective resistance and were expelled by the Miyo Army. After a while, the Oda army on the Okaba Mountain also sent reinforcements from nearly 2 oo combat soldiers to counterattack the Okazaki Shrine, which was the banner of the Simino three people.
"Your Highness Yuqiu, what's going on with your Northern Army?" The irritated Inaha Yitie saw Yuqiuping coming towards them, and immediately pointed at Yuqiuping with his fingers, and accused him dissatisfiedly: "There are so many soldiers from the Three Good Family hidden in the Yinge Temple, but you didn't show up? The lord was so thunderous just now, and he said he would scold you well."
"The direction of Ginkakuji Temple is the one Ikeda responsible for the investigation." Yu Qiuhei recalled the deployment not long ago, spread his hands and said that he was innocent and complained a few times in anger. "Hengxing probably thought about all he was going to enter Kyoto, and he had no intention of investigating, which led to such a big negligence."
"Now, the information about the Miyo Army that occupied the Okazaki Shrine, does Your Highness Yuqiu have here?" The clan family Fuquan followed closely behind Ichitei Inaba and asked.
"My ninja has already gone to investigate and will be back soon." Yu Qiuhei said, looking in the direction of Okazaki Shrine. As soon as he finished speaking, Uchiha Aoka, who was as fast as lightning, suddenly appeared in front of everyone's horses, which scared Mino and the other two. Yu Qiuhei had long been used to Uchiha Aoka's elusive style, so he did not show too much surprise.
"Report to Your Highness." Uchiha Aoka bowed respectfully to Yu Akihei, "The banner in the Okazaki Shrine is Miyoshi Yoshihiko. I dare not make a conclusion on the specific number of people, but it is estimated that it is around 15oo warriors."
"I understand." Yu Qiuping nodded, and Uchiha Aoka immediately flashed and left with a sense of clarity. Then, Yu Qiuping turned his horse and spoke to Mino and the other two: "With our two families combined, the number of soldiers is almost twice that of him, so why not attack directly."
"Yes, the lord also ordered us to attack directly." Ando Mori recalled Oda Nobunaga's appearance and frowned slightly, "The lord seems very irritable. He feels that the progress is too slow. After repeatedly urging us to capture the Okazaki Shrine, he immediately reinforces the Northern Route Army and must defeat Kyoto before lunch."
·
At the same time, in the Kiyomizu Temple of Oda Nobunaga, Oda has led more than 58oo people to station on the Mount Oda, watching the battle progress slowly and doing nothing.
Oda Nobunaga looked up and looked at the sun gradually leaning towards the sky, and he could no longer hold back.
"What is that guy Asakura Yoshike is doing?" After receiving the information that Asakura Yoshike had not captured Tofuku Temple, Oda Nobunaga angrily grabbed the map on the table and threw it hard on the ground. The few young surnames around saw that Oda Nobunaga was furious and stood timidly at the four corners, not daring to step forward. Only the iron-headed Maeda Takaya and Sabuki Ryoyu ran in from outside the door, picked up the map and put it back on the table.
"You said!" The angry Nobunaga Oda grabbed the collar of the Maeda Tatsu family and shouted loudly: "What is that guy Asakura Yoshike is doing? Is he really fighting? He still stood still for the whole morning, and Yu hadn't even heard the shouts of killing there! He wouldn't be a slaughter!"
The Maeda Tatsuya was so hungry that he couldn't breathe by Oda Nobunaga, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only let Oda Nobunaga leak. The latter seemed to see that the Maeda Tatsuya was meaningless, so he threw him away, and then grabbed Sabunori and whispered: "The 6ooo warriors fought against 3ooo, but they didn't make any progress in the morning? If it were you, would you believe it?"
Samiya Ryono, like the Maeda Takashi, did not dare to say anything, so he was also thrown away by Oda Nobunaga. Oda Nobunaga angrily wandered around the room, and finally shouted loudly with great anger: "Send someone to urge Asakura Yoshike to rush the pig! Let him quickly knock down Tofukuji Temple! Also, let Asai Nagamasa give Yu a quicker! Before lunch, take down Kyoto for Yu! The main force of the Miyo family might have withdrawn long ago, so how could we just stand here without a step forward?"
·
At the beginning of the Si hour, under the fierce attack of the Northern Route Army, Miyoshi Yoshi's Yakugawa defense line finally fell. His Awatsuki has been facing an attack from a coalition forces that are twice or even three times that of his number since this morning. He retreated and retreated, and was exhausted, and the casualties were nearly 20%. They retreated to Kyoto helplessly, as if they were planning to make the final persistence.
When the coalition forces saw that Miyoshi Yoshi had already ended their end, they rushed over Kamakawa excitedly and rushed towards Kyoto, which was close to the corner. The Ikeda family, Takigawa family, and Mori family troops had all left the command and advanced towards Kyoto in a race. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Whoever can enter Kyoto first can be famous in history and is also the most noble honor of the Wu family.
Stimulated by this honor, Asai Nagamasa himself was also excited. He almost gave up command and ordered the Asai family divisions to rush towards Kyoto like the Oda family. Even the always calm and mature Nagahide Niba could not help but be infected by this atmosphere and urged his subordinates to march quickly.
"His Majesty the Emperor is waiting for us in Kyoto, and the people of Kyoto are waiting for us there. All the Wu families in the world are watching us!" The excited Hokage Ikeda was already rushing to the front of the team, and excitedly shouted: "This is the honor of the Wu family! Everyone follows me!"
