I am Yakushiji Kunimei.
My name is Hosokawa Takakuni.
We are all panicking now!
In Hosokawa Takakuni's main formation, when Yakushiji Kunimori rushed in covered with blood, Hosokawa Takakuni, who had just returned to the main formation from the front to rest, almost didn't recognize who Yakushiji Kunimori was.
Yakushiji Kunimori's back was densely covered with arrows, at least a dozen. If it weren't for the high quality of his equipment and the mediocre power of the Miyoshi family's Marubi bow, Yakushiji Kunimori would have died by now.
And when he learned from Yakushiji Kunimori about the battle situation on the north bank of the Yodogawa River and the betrayal of the Akamatsu family, Hosokawa Takakuni suddenly changed his face, pointed in a direction with his hand, and fell to the ground instantly. After Yakushiji Kunimori looked in the direction pointed by Hosokawa Takakuni, his eyes rolled back and he fell to the ground.
Why?
It's very simple, because the head of the Akamatsu family, Akamatsu Masamura, is sitting aside and looking at them with a smile.
"Guan Lingdian, I'm really sorry. I have already secretly communicated with Hosokawa Rokuro, and I'm afraid I will disappoint Guanlingdian in this battle!" Masamatsu Akamatsu slowly stood up from the ground, and then held his waist With a saber in his hand, he looked at Hosokawa Takakuni who was slumped on the main seat with a half-smile.
Hosokawa Takakuni trembled all over and stammered, "Aka-Akamatsu-don, I know very well the grievances between the Akamatsu family and the Urakami family, so I specifically mediate the fight between you two. I have no grievances with Akamatsu-don." , Why should it be like this! Why should it be like this!"
"Don't get me wrong, Guan Lingdian. I will only take the head of the Urakami village clan, and Guan Lingdian will leave on his own! But apart from this formation, whether Guanlingdian is alive or dead has nothing to do with me!" Just like the details According to Kawa Takakuni, there is indeed no enmity between the two. On the contrary, in a sense, Hosokawa Takakuni still has feelings for Akamatsu Masamura, so Akamatsu Masamatsu chose to let Hosokawa Takakuni go.
Upon hearing this, Hosokawa Takakuni, who thought he was certain to die, suddenly felt infinite hope in his heart!
"I will remember the great kindness of Akamatsu-den in my heart. If I can survive the disaster today, I will definitely repay you tomorrow!" After saying that, perhaps fearing that Akamatsu Masamura would regret it, Hosokawa Takakuni quickly picked up the folding fan that fell on the ground and opened the formation. Flee in despair.
After Hosokawa Takakuni left, a samurai of the Akamatsu family in the formation looked at Akamatsu Masamura with a troubled expression and said, "My lord, if our actions today are known to Hosokawa Rokuro-den, I'm afraid."
"What are you afraid of! The victory of Hosokawa Rokuro-den today is all thanks to my family. Moreover, when my family came here, the leader of the palace had already disappeared!" Akamatsu Masamatsu looked at the retainers in front of him and said with a smile, "Isn't it right? ,Bizen Mamoru?"
Seeing Akamatsu Masamura saying this, Akashi Nagayuki could only nod helplessly.
"Then what should we do with this person?" Akashi Nagayuki pointed at Yakushiji Kunimori who was unconscious on the side.
"My family made a surprise attack on the main formation of Guanlingden. Although we failed to capture Guanlingdian, we did capture the enemy general Yakushiji Saburozaemon's command!" Akamatsu Masamatsu's eyes flashed, revealing murderous intent!
"In addition, send someone to report the battle situation here to Hosokawa Rokuroden, and then our troops will continue to move forward. Urakami Muramune is in front. This time, nothing can be done to let him run away!"
"Justice lies with the Eastern Army!"
Akashi Nagayuki is a retainer of Akamatsu, the lord of Harimaeda Yoshi Castle, and is commonly known as Bizen Shou. Among Akamatsu's retainers, Akashi Nagayuki is a rare intellectual, and he is a world-famous intellectual. The Akashi family has always been famous for its Japanese songs, and Akashi Nagayuki is a popular figure in the area. He even taught the Shirokonoe family, which is evident from this.
By the way, Akashi Nagayuki's wife is the daughter of the Ukita-no family, and the Ukita Nao family is the grandson of the Ukita-no family, so based on blood and seniority, the Ukita Nao family will call Akashi Nagai's uncle.
In addition, Akashi Nagayuki's daughter Iwahime was adopted as an adopted daughter by the Kodera political minister and married Kuroda Shitaka, and their son was the famous Kuroda Kanbei. In other words, Akashi Nagayuki is Kuroda Kanbei’s grandfather.
On the battlefield of Yodogawa, following the betrayal of the Akamatsu family, the Urakami family's troops and the troops of the rest of the nation who were attacked from behind suddenly fell into chaos. The limitations of the peasant soldiers were clearly demonstrated at this moment. The Urakami Muramune side, which had the upper hand a few quarters of an hour ago, was instantly defeated.
Naturally, Miyoshi Yuanchang would not let go of such a good opportunity, and immediately increased the intensity of his attack and beat up the drowned dog.
Some of the Urakami family's troops had even crossed the Yodo River to fight on the other side of the river. They only knew that something seemed to be wrong in the rear, but they had no idea what was going on. Some of the Urakami family's samurai were still fighting against the trapped beasts, trying to fight, but they lost the support behind them and were quickly repelled.
At this time, Hosokawa Harumoto had already come to the front line to supervise the battle. Two-quarters of an hour ago, Hosokawa Harumoto received a report from Akamatsu Masamura. After learning that the Akamatsu family had launched an operation, Hosokawa Harumoto could not sit still.
Although Hosokawa Harumoto had defeated Hosokawa Takakuni a long time ago and exiled him to Omi, Hosokawa Takakuni had dominated Kinai for many years, and it was still very easy to cause trouble. Therefore, Hosokawa Takakuni has always been a serious problem for Hosokawa Harumoto, and now is a good opportunity to defeat Hosokawa Takakuni once and for all. How could Hosokawa Harumoto miss it?
"My Lord, the Miyoshi Chikuzen Shrine has begun to cross the river, and the Urakami family has been defeated!" On a hill not far from the Yodogawa River, Hosokawa Motaka, who had arrived late, introduced his side's "brilliant victory" to Hosokawa Harumoto. !
Listening to the reports of Hosokawa Mochitaka and others, Hosokawa Harumoto nodded from time to time, and his joy was beyond words.
"Although we have secured victory in this battle, our biggest goal should be to win over Hosokawa Takakuni and Urakami Muramune, so now we should pursue the victory and don't let Hosokawa Takakuni and others escape!" Hosokawa Motonsune also stood beside Hosokawa Harumoto and made suggestions.
Hosokawa Harumoto deeply agreed with Hosokawa Motonsune's words, "This is natural. As long as Hosokawa Takakuni is alive, I will feel uneasy in my heart!"
"Based on the current situation, Hosokawa Takakuni can only flee towards Omono Castle if he wants to escape. Order this formation to march towards Omono Castle immediately!"
"ha!"
Hosokawa Harumoto's main formation soon set off and began to march in the direction of Omono Castle. As Hosokawa Nobitaka's side, Kyogoku Takamasa naturally followed him into the formation. However, it is obvious that such a battle does not require Kyogoku Takamasa to personally go into battle to kill the enemy, unless Hosokawa Nobitaka is attacked.
Now that the battle has almost been decided, it is only a matter of time before Hosokawa Harumoto's side wins, and Kyogoku Takamasa can only make a fuss.
Crossing the river from the lower reaches of the Yodogawa River, when passing through Nakajima Castle, it had already been captured by the Miyoshi family's troops. Miyoshi Genchang was currently pursuing Urakami Muramune, and Akamatsu Harumasa also blocked Urakami Muramune's retreat. Only a few hundred people around Urakami Muramune were still fighting to the death.
The battle seems to be over here!
