Asai Ryomasa always felt that something was wrong.
It's so quiet.
There were tens of thousands of soldiers of the Rokkaku family on the other side, so there was no way there would be no sound or movement at all.
Standing on the bank of the Amano River, Asai Ryomasa bulged his eyes as if to see clearly what was on the other side of the river through the thick fog.
Perspective hanging, stone hammer!
"Lord, no signs of enemy activity have been found in the Ueda Village area!" Asai Nomasa walked behind Asai Ryomasa and reported.
Toshimasa Asai, who was standing next to Nomasa Asai, also said, "The ninja tools I sent to the opposite side have returned, but no unusual movements were found in the Rokkaku family!"
"Where else are there no reports?"
"It seems there is no news from Echizen Mori yet!"
"There have been reports from everywhere, but there is no news from Echizenshou. It seems that there must be something wrong with the Asai Minato River!" Asai Ryomasa suddenly raised his head, then turned to Asai Toshimasa and said, "Please ask your two uncles to bring someone with you immediately." The Ashigaru team will head to the Asuma Minato River bank, and report back immediately if the enemy is discovered!"
"ha!"
Asai Toshimasa and Asai Nomasa are the younger brothers of Asai Naomasa, the father of Mrs. Kuraya, and are uncles of Asai Ryomasa in terms of seniority.
Not long after Asai Toshimasa left, a messenger on horseback quickly returned to the formation.
"Sir, Chao Zimai discovered enemy troops on the river bank! Yuanjiang Shouden and others have begun fighting the enemy troops. The current situation of the battle is unknown!"
"Hmph!" Asai Ryomasa suddenly snorted, "It is indeed a hexagonal bullet. If you don't know how to take advantage of such a heavy fog, wouldn't it be a waste of time!"
"But the water level near Asazuma Minato is very high. How can the Rokkaku family cross the river from here?" Asai Ryomasa continued to ask.
"The enemy seems to have come up by boat from Lake Biwa, and came ashore directly behind me to launch an attack!" Shifan did not dare to neglect.
"How many people are there in the enemy army?"
"The fog is too thick to see clearly, but judging from the shouts of death, there are hundreds of people at least!"
"Only a few hundred people?" Ryomasa Asai was stunned at first, then lowered his head and pondered for a while and said, "Rokkaku Tayori asked hundreds of people to come by boat, and they will undoubtedly die!"
"If I'm not wrong, Rokkaku Sadarai is using these hundreds of people as bait, which can both contain our troops and distract our attention! In this way, the Rokkaku clan will launch a general attack from other places, which is a good plan! "
Facing Rokkaku Sadayori, Asai Ryomasa did not dare to be careless at all.
First, he was defeated by Rokkaku Sadayori several times, which forced Asai Ryomasa to be cautious. Secondly, in the last battle of Anegawa, he was defeated by the fledgling Kyogoku Takamasa, which made Asai Ryomasa the laughing stock of the entire Konki, Higashiyama, and Tokai factions. This has always been taken as a warning by Asai Ryomasa.
"Go on, the troops must not attack without their own orders!"
"Send an order to Toojiang Shou and others to guard the Asazu Minato River bank and beware of Rokkaku's troops continuing to approach the bank from there!"
"ha!"
On the bank of the Asuma Minato River, it is more than two miles away from Asai Ryomasa's main formation.
By the time Asai Toshimasa and others arrived, several patrol ashigaru teams deployed here were already freezing. On the way here, Asai Toshimasa and others had already encountered several waves of enemies, but these enemy troops were not large in number and were quickly defeated.
"Toe Mamoru, look what's over there!" Suddenly, Asai Nomasa, who was walking at the front of the team, stopped and pointed in one direction and shouted loudly.
Asai Toshimasa saw with his own eyes that following the direction Asai Nomasa was pointing, there seemed to be people fighting bloody battles on a small slope not far away.
"Quick! That must be Echizenshou, hurry up and save people!" Asai Toshimasa shouted.
In Asai Toshimasa's view, it is naturally impossible for ordinary peasants and soldiers to persist until now, and only Asai Toshimasa and the people he brought have such combat effectiveness.
"kill!"
"Raise your gun and meet the enemy!"
The ashigaru under Asai Toshimasa and Asai Nomasa immediately lined up in four rows. Under the leadership of several samurai, they raised their spears and rushed towards the small slope quickly.
The people on the slope obviously heard the movement behind them. After seeing hundreds of ashigaru rushing toward them, a samurai wearing a black lacquered catfish-shaped tail bag and two black lacquered trousers stood up immediately. , pointed at Toshimasa Asai and others and shouted, "Attack!"
Speaking of which, let’s popularize some little knowledge about sufficiency.
Generally speaking, a complete set is composed of "Pocket" and "A". Each type of turban has a special name, and the naming method is "characteristics of the tether" + "type of trunk" + "type of taka" + "power color eye" + "type of sleeve".
If a suit's name contains all the above characteristics, then the suit must be exquisite and expensive, otherwise it will be a piece of junk.
For example, the "black lacquer-coated catfish tail-shaped pocket" and "black lacquer-coated two-piece carcass with enough" just mentioned, the former is a "helmet" and the latter is "armor".
"Black paint" refers to the color, "cattail shape" refers to the shape of the helmet, and "Kabuto" is the general name of the helmet. The back part of the body, "black lacquered", is the color in the same way, "trunk" refers to the "body part of the body", and "two trunks" means that the "trunk" part of the body is composed of two separate parts. .
It can be seen from this that this set of equipment is just an ordinary black body, which any samurai with little wealth can afford. It also reflects from the side that this warrior is a salty fish, not famous, and his head is not valuable.
As for "Zha", it refers to the arrangement and integration of "bamboo pieces" or "iron pieces". The mainstream methods of writing generally include "Iyuga", "Honxiaozha" and "Banzha".
The "Wei" in "Weisemu" refers to the way the ropes are connected between the pieces, and the color in front of "Wei" is the color of these ropes.
For example, Sekihaku Toyotomi Hideji's "Vermilion lacquered Yagasa and cyan silk plain gown" used by Toyotomi Hideji is totally unclear at first glance. But if you take it apart, "suzuriku" refers to the red color of the nails, "yakasashi" refers to the arrangement type of the nail plates, "cyanose" refers to the type of rope connecting the nail plates, and "plain coat" Rope's wink. In this way, a sufficient general situation is sketched in the mind.
Isn't it amazing?
Of course, there are many things to pay attention to when it comes to being complete. Kira will not go into details here. Interested book friends can come down and chat with me privately.
Let’s get down to business!
The samurai wearing this black outfit is Takaie Yamazaki, the lord of Yamazaki Castle, one of the Rokkaku retainers and one of the Seven Heads of Takashima.
If the Yamazaki Hiro family under Kyogoku Takamasa were here, they might not be able to help shouting, "Brother, don't do anything, we are all our own!"
The Yamazaki Taka family and the Yamazaki Hiroshi family are half-brothers. The former was the legitimate son and inherited the family governor, while the latter was the bastard and inherited several acres of thin farmland in the countryside. It was precisely because he couldn't bear this gap that the Yamazaki family ran away from home.
"Don't hurt our general. Asai Toge is here to guard. The enemy general is coming to kill him!" The enemy arrived before the sound was heard. Before the fight, Asai Toshimasa had already begun to feel his presence, as if the samurai opposite him was already a corpse. Corpse-like.
"Is this the person you are talking about?" Yamazaki Gaojia smiled disdainfully, and then asked someone from behind, "General Asai? Do you have any misunderstandings about the word general?"
"Although he looks very talented, he seems to be far from being a general!"
