Chapter 854 The choice of the viper
In history, the famous Nagaragawa Joint Battle occurred in April of the second year of Hongzhi (1556). At that time, heavy snow in Mino Country disappeared, snow water poured into rivers everywhere, and the Nagaragawa River water surged. When Saito Dozo Mi and Saito Yoshirō were fighting for the decisive battle, Akitori's reinforcements, Akitori's family was slow to move, while his son-in-law Oda Nobunaga acted quickly, but advanced to Kisogawa and Hida River. Because of the flood of spring water, he had to stay in Tozo Temple and look at the battle situation of Nagaragawa and was anxious.
In this historical time and space, due to the snow-capped attack of Saito Yoshiro, Saito Dozo also did not wait for reinforcements to support. What's more serious is that Nagara River, which is an important barrier in Lushan City, also freezes due to wind and snow, completely losing its role as a barrier.
When Saito Dosan led a few loyal tribes to the commanding heights outside Lushan Castle, and looked at the army of his son Saito Yoshiro, he silently stroked the spear that accompanied him for his life, and remembered the handsome and elegant Goro of Matsuba who had been dancing the spear like an eel in the hall in order to win the appreciation of the Lord Toki Raiyi. Today, let me, Saito Dosan, dance again and again!
On December 10th of the first year of Hongzhi (1555), Saito Yilong Army launched a general attack: the pioneer Zhuyao Daochen led his troops to the front and crossed Nagara River in a dense formation. Saito Daojin laughed when he saw this and waved his spear to command left and right. So two teams of Dao San, who were ambushing the river bank in advance, killed the Babayao Army. Then, Dao San, who was in his sixties, rushed into the Babayao Army with a long spear and shouted and stabbed Zhuyao Daochen with a gun. "Yilong Boy. When I Dao San broke the Taizhu at the mouth of the Inner, you were still drinking milk. Today, I will reappear the scene of the Battle of Ghana's mouth."
But at this moment, a noise suddenly came from the Three Dao Army. It turned out that while Doo San was focusing on the Bamboo Waist Army, Saito Yoshiro took the flag team and took advantage of the frozen river surface to quickly cross Nagara River. He appeared on the side of Doo San Army, wearing a "Rike Wild-Headed Pocket" on his head. Yilong, who was six feet and five inches tall, was majestic and took the lead, and was particularly conspicuous among the troops.
Nagarakawa's blocking effect has been completely lost, and Dao San had to choose a head-on battle. "Fungtaemaru, I can successfully cross the country under my nose. I have very good command. This time we fight. You took my moves first. Although you may not be my biological son, I, Mino Viper, now admit it. You are qualified to be my son, inherit my mantle, and give the Saito family to you. See how far you can do. I am watching you in that world, haha!"
So, under the influence of Saito Dao's aura of no other, the morale of the three Dao's army suddenly rose sharply.
On the other side, Saito Yoshiroru saw this and immediately shouted behind him: "Who can you dare to fight with one horse and suppress the momentum of the old thief army."
Saito Yoshirō's general, Shizuemon, immediately slapped his horse and called out his family. The warrior Shibata Kakunai of the three armies immediately raised his gun to fight. After walking by several rounds, the weak Nagaya fell under the horse and was taken off by Shibata.
When Yilong saw that a cavalry failed to fight, all his subordinates looked fearful and immediately shouted: "You still want to go back to the days when you were slaughtered by the old thief. If you want to turn over, it will be today!" Yan Bi took the lead in the battle. Yilong's flag book was cheered up when he saw this, and he followed the tall Yilong to fight with the three armies of Dao.
Gradually, Saito Dozo was at a disadvantage because of the lack of soldiers. Yilong waved his military fan and commanded the subsequent brigade to cross Nagagawa and encircled the three armies from both sides. At dusk, the three members of the Dozo tribe were all injured and killed. The samurai of the Yilong Army rushed into the Dozo tribe like chicken blood, and wanted to cut off the Mino viper's head to seek credit.
Faced with the surging enemy troops, Saito Dozo made a different choice than recorded in history. In history, Saito Dozo still insisted on fighting to the death. As the servants around him began to collapse, fewer and fewer people guarding him, but the enemy rushed from all directions like a tide.
Saito Yoshiroqin, Nagai Tadaosaemon, tried to take the lead. With his strong energy, he forced the elderly Dao San to retreat step by step with a sword. "Virgate, be aware, I want to capture you alive and offer it to Your Highness."
However, at this moment, the peach picker came up, and only saw that the master of spear skills in Yilong's army, Xiao Muyuan, shot out. He first penetrated Dao San's calf, and then took Dao San's bang down, and went to the throat and shot it again, and learned about the life of the viper. "Saito Yama Castle, I, Xiao Muyuan, have been recruited by me!"
Of course, the above is a record in history. This time, Dao Sanyan saw his army be defeated. In a trance, he suddenly remembered his son-in-law Luo Zhengliang. For some reason, he changed his determination to die. He immediately went straight to Lushan City behind under the protection of his own guards.
After escaping back to Lushan City, while Saito Yoshiro's army was still fighting fiercely with the Dao San's defeated army at the city gate, Dao San quickly fled into the secret passage in the city under the escort of several loyal retainers, and escaped from Lushan City through the secret passage.
At this time, he faced a choice again. At this time, Saito Dozo had several places to go, and the nearest place was naturally the territory of Saito Rizo, the husband of the fourth daughter of Mino, but Dozo was the first to reject this hiding place. Because Dozo suspected that Saito Rizo would betray him under the pressure of Saito Yoshiro.
As for the in-law Akitomi family, Dao San also gave up. After all, with this defeat by Saito Yoshinori, Saito Yoshinori's power in Mino Country was almost no longer available. As the Akitomi family, who had always been close to him, he would definitely be attacked by Saito Yoshinori. With the Akitomi family's troops at this time, it was impossible to resist the attack of Saito Yoshinori's army. Therefore, the Akitomi family had only two outcomes, either surrendering to Saito Yoshinori or being destroyed by Saito Yoshinori. When he went to the Akitomi family's territory, he was simply lighting a lamp in the toilet and seeking death.
Since the Mino region can no longer hide, we can only choose an area outside Mino country. Go to the son-in-law, sister-in-law, who defected to Hitoshi Country? In the impoverished area where birds do not shit, as long as the army of Saito Yoshiroshi is under pressure, the wealthy families there will probably take the initiative to force their son-in-law to hand over themselves, and they cannot be visited here.
