Honjo Shibunaga was still frowning in thought, but there were twists and turns in the battle on the opposite side.
The Chinese army first divided a road and walked out with more than a hundred horse-riding warriors. The warriors surrounded the armorless warriors and stood in front of the formation.
Everyone in Yangbei was surprised. A fight was about to begin. Why did the elite of our formation come out?
Traditional joint battles involve gun formations knocking each other out, and only elites will be put in one after another when the consumption is almost exhausted.
If you attack the elites in a big way from the beginning, wouldn't it be a waste of energy for the opponent's miscellaneous soldiers? It's not worth it.
Honjo Shigenaga ordered to postpone the battle to see what tricks the other party was going to play.
All they saw was a dazzling white flag with the Ashikaga family crest, which was extraordinary in style and caused shock among the Yangbei formations.
Yang Beizhong is not from the countryside. They are from a high background. They are all old members of the royal family and have a deep understanding of the nobles of each family.
Nakajo Fujitsu said doubtfully.
"Is this the Ashikaga white flag?"
Although Honjo Shigenaga didn't want to admit it, he still nodded.
"It is indeed the style of the royal flag.
What happened to Toromi Castle? Flying the Ashikaga flag and carrying the imperial flag are not the usual style of Nagao Kagetora (Uesugi Terutora). "
Facing the strange situation, she felt bad, there was something weird about it.
No matter how courageous the Nagao family in the mansion is, they would not dare to overstep the use of the royal flag and fly the Ashikaga flag in Totoo Castle. Is this village really giving up its head?
Is Nagao Kagetora back? It doesn’t look like it either.
That person is very angry and will definitely pull out his troops and directly force him to surrender. It is impossible to use the strategy of using flags to intimidate him.
Even if she was given a royal flag by the general, she was not qualified to plant Ashikaga flags all over the city. This was still transgression and against the rules.
Unable to think of a reasonable explanation, Honjo Nobunaga could only turn his gaze to the equestrian team in front of the opponent's formation. He felt uneasy, frowning and waiting for changes.
Yoshihiro and his entourage came to the front of the formation, and he said to Yamanaka Yukimori.
"Yamazaka Princess, hold my royal flag and call the formation for me."
"Hi!"
Yamazaka Yukimori bowed slightly, galloped left and right in front of the formation with a flag, reined in his horse and shouted to the enemy formation.
"My lord, the legitimate son of the Shiba clan, Yoshihiro Shiba, entered the path of Kenshin and went on an envoy to Echigo country on behalf of the shogunate.
Holding the general's sword, Echigo guards and enshrines Tomi Castle as the imperial residence.
Who are you waiting for! How dare you raise your troops to approach and attack the direct descendants of the Genji family in Hanoi? Do you want to die? "
After she finished speaking, she raised the flag and returned to Yiyin.
The noise in the formations in Yangbei exploded violently, and the man in charge of the village turned pale and clenched his fists.
Terutora Uesugi must have returned to Echigo!
She couldn't catch up with the rescue, so she asked the shogunate's envoys to come and stop them first, betting that Yang Beizhong would not dare to attack.
If it were an ordinary envoy, Honjo Shimaga would not mind ordering a war.
The shogunate must be respected, but when it comes to personal interests, the envoys can only be asked to wait until the fight is over. If you accidentally get killed, just say sorry.
But now?
What the hell is going on! What's going on with Yujian! What's going on at Gosho! What's going on with the direct descendants of Genji in Kawachi!
Shiba's legitimate son holds a sword? Otaisho!
Honjo Shibunaga squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, looking at the young man in white who was surrounded by him, in disbelief.
I never expected that the shogunate would give such great support to Nagao Kagetora Kamiro, and even the shogun's husband would be sent as an envoy.
The Yangbei people were already in a state of internal disarray, and their fighting spirit had subsided.
At that time, the Kawachi Genji and the Ise Taira clan competed for the pillars of the Wu family. The Ise Taira clan won first and killed the mother of the first shogun Minamoto Yoritomo.
There were twists and turns in the handling of the legitimate daughter Minamoto Yoritomo, and the final result was that Izu was exiled and handed over to the local Taira clan branch, the former Hojo family, for guarding.
At that time, the Isehei clan was extremely powerful and squeezed the Kanto samurai family to the extreme. The samurai clan dared not speak out in anger.
Minamoto no Yoritomo arrived in Izu, and under the supervision of the former Hojo family, he actually had an affair with the son of the governor of the Hojo family, and the relationship was secretly married.
The former Hojo's guard was too strong. . Where are the personal caretakers posted? .
Subsequently, the former Hojo family, together with the branch of the Kanto Taira clan who had been squeezed by the Ise Taira clan, joined the Minamoto Yoritomo family and started a rebellion.
These Taira clan samurai families were the Bando Hachihira clan on which the Kamakura shogunate was founded.
Taking the lead of the direct lineage of Kawachi Genji, the Kanto samurai family finally had a backbone, and they rebelled together using the oath of loyalty to Kawachi Genji from generation to generation as an excuse.
In his heart, he wanted to get rid of the military and food service of the Isehei clan, but in his words, he was loyal to Mitsumi Masaru for generations. This oath became politically correct.
The Kwantung warriors raised their troops not to fight for power, but to fulfill the oath of their ancestors and to be loyal, filial, benevolent and righteous!
After that, Minamoto no Yoritomo defeated the Isehei clan, established the Kamakura shogunate, became the first general to conquer barbarians, and established the imperial family system.
These Kanto warrior families who raised armies became imperial families and were entrusted to all the countries in the world to share their wealth and honor.
The Yangbeizhong are the descendants of the imperial family who came to the plain north of the Agano River and multiplied for hundreds of years.
Although the Minamoto no Yoritomo branch ended in the second generation, the Kawachi Minamoto clan passed back to the Ashikaga family.
However, the reason why the Kanto samurai family raised the army in the first place was the oath of loyalty to the direct descendants of the Genji family in Kawachi for generations, and it was not to follow Minamoto Yoritomo in rebellion. The moral right to raise the army was still in the hands of the Ashikaga family.
Although everyone knows that it is just an excuse, this oath is indeed the political cornerstone and moral basis for the imperial family to rule their own territory.
The Minamoto no Yoritomo branch has perished, but the direct line of the Minamoto clan in Kawachi is still there, and the pillars of the samurai family are still there. To disrespect the Ashikaga family is to deny the justice of the right to rule one's territory.
When all the families in Yangbei learned that the target of their attack was the Imperial Palace and that the enemy troops were direct descendants of the Genji family in Hanoi, how could they not panic?
This is digging your own roots!
As long as they dare to attack Tongwei City today, tomorrow other martial arts families can invade the territory of the Yangbei people at will without any reason.
The crime of great rebellion should be punished by everyone!
The formations in Yangbei were in chaos, Zhongtiao Tengzi tried his best.
"Should we withdraw our troops first?"
Honjo Nobunaga glared at her and said through gritted teeth.
"no."
She knew that once the troops were withdrawn, not to mention the declining morale of both sides, it would be difficult for the Yangbei people to have the courage to attack Tonglewei City.
Within the Yangbei clan, a small group of people led by Nakajo Fujizai had long surrendered to Uesugi Teruhora to gain benefits. Honjo Shigenaga represented the majority of the Yangboku clan who refused to bow their heads.
Uesugi Teruhora was not there, but an imperial office appeared. This showed that the Uesugi reinforcements had not arrived in time, and it was the opportunity for the Yangbeizhong to attack.
If we retreat at this time, our morale will be frustrated, we will not be able to unify our opinions internally, and we will be delayed for several days, then it will really be over.
When Terutora Uesugi arrived with reinforcements, Honjo Shigenaga had no choice but to bow his head and surrender.
Among the four faction clans in Yangbei, the most powerful ones now are Nakajo Tengzi and Honjo Shinchang. The two parties have been competing for internal leadership.
If Terutora Uesugi were to simply dismantle this rebellion, Honjo Shigeru's prestige would be dealt a devastating blow.
Each family will definitely invest in Nakajo Fujitsu and become a dog for Uesugi Teruhora. Even if Honjo Shigenaga wants to follow him and become a dog, it will be a step too late.
Nakajo Toshi who defected first must be more trusted than her. Honjo Nobunaga, who relied on the resistance to Uesugi Teruhora to gather people's hearts, no longer has the power to compete with her for the leadership of the Yangbei Zhong.
The Yangbei Zhong occupies half of the Echigo Plain, and their power is not small. The main village has been young and promising, and its ambitions have not been fulfilled. How can it be given up so easily?
she said.
"The enemy sent someone to say a few words and you believed it? Where is your brain!
How could the general send a young man as an envoy to Echigo? Or is it his own imperial office? is it possible!
Don't be fooled by the enemy's tricks, it's all nonsense!
Bragging! Prepare to attack! "
Regardless of whether it was true or not, Honjo Noganaga was going to cover his ears and pretend not to hear. He would win today's battle first.
It's best if the imperial court is fake. If it's true, Yang Beizhong should win a big victory in order to occupy a favorable position to think about the future.
In the Wu family, the most important thing is to have strong fists. Only when you win can you talk about it.
On the opposite side, Yiyin saw that the formations in Yangbei were in chaos, the sound of conchs was intermittent, and the reserve teams were uneasy and moved at different paces.
Naoe Kanetsugu said respectfully.
"Oitaisuo, the enemy is attacking. Please return to our formation and take command."
Yiyin frowned slightly, it was best not to fight in this fight. The rebels were obviously shaken when they heard that the Imperial Palace was there, and they had a chance.
He said to Yamanaka Yukimori.
"Give me the imperial flag."
Yamanaka Yukimori hesitated, Yoshiyin frowned and scolded.
"Bring it!"
"Hi!"
Having no choice but to hand over the royal flag to Yoshigan, Yamanaka Yukimori wanted to persuade the Lord not to be impulsive, but Yoshigan had already rushed out at the head.
She was about to cry but had no tears. When she turned around, she would be ridiculed by Dao Shengmeng again. My lord, it was true. .
Yiyin rode his horse forward, rolled the flag on the flagpole as he ran, and then threw it forward with all his strength.
The two armies were separated by more than a hundred steps. Yiyin used the momentum of his horse to rush forward and threw the flag. The flagpole was planted more than ten steps in front of Honjo Shigenaga and others.
Yiyin reined in his horse thirty steps away and cursed.
“If you don’t retreat, kneel, make peace, or fight, what do you want!
Descendants of the Chichibu clan, the Miura clan, the Sasaki clan, and the Omi clan, please do not let your ancestors be shamed!
Who dares to fight with me! "
Seeing that the enemy army was wavering, Yiyin decisively launched a cavalry attack.
For him, who has a cheat, it can not only increase his prestige, but also not reduce the strength of the troops and deepen the hatred between the two sides.
It's really easy to use once you ride it.
