Nobunaga's Bastard

Episode 44: The Battle of Omi Sakamoto (Map Available)

The roots of my teeth were so trembling that they wouldn't engage.

"The enemy has 30,000 armies, so you don't expect us to strike out. Presence to penetrate that alarm, march around the hole Tai and Sakamoto and carry out an ambush. We are only going to fight in the woods, and the generals want us to consolidate the protection of Mount Usa."

As a reinforcement, he added 2,000 soldiers from Uncle Shinji, who came one foot faster than the coalition forces, and the troops of the Uzayama Castle defense were conveniently four thousand. The battle power difference with the Asai Asakura coalition forces, which exceeds 30,000, is about eight times greater. Forest family soldiers are about a thousand. It was a bold and invincible ploy to strike forty times as many opponents in the field, even if they didn't bump into everyone at once.

"This is also the mourning battle of Hikochiro. I don't know what it's for, but it's trembling in our castle."

It was Uncle Shinji who stuck this up and claimed he was going to be in line too. Uncle Shinxing and Uncle Shinji, who were close in age. It also carries the roughness of the Oda family's seemingly temperament, and the nose is rough about 30,000, and how much, led by Yoshiyoshi Asakura.

"We'd like you to give us a hand too."

The Aotearoa Temple also volunteered to march again, and the first battle was thus decided to be a field battle because all commanders nodded.

It was not possible to unload all the troops from the castle on the boulder, and as the castle's master, the main court of affairs remained, divided the two thousand centered on Uncle Shinji's soldiers into defense teams, and the two thousand manoeuvrable men such as cavalry and foot lights into attack teams. Our ancient ferry formed 300 with the soldiers of the direct minister and those who volunteered to go out, and on March 20th, they sent out Uzayama Castle.

"Are you scared?

"I'm not scared. The samurai trembled, and it's cold today."

Before the war, I was told by a long rule that even seemed to make me feel better, and I was strong. I was really scared. The battle in Hokuriku was always a victory. Although I was greatly frightened in the retreat, it hasn't turned out to be a battle in the end. This is the first time we have ever had a situation where we intercept an enemy in a disadvantaged war situation. Horrible. See who the samurai tremble is, be strong and mean.

"Sure, rain takes away the heat of a split that sticks to your clothes."

"Oh, I guess so."

I was told by the ancient left that I was nervous about the crowd or that I had somewhat less mouth count. I'm glad you agree, but I want you to say something to the ancient left all the time.

"It's just that this rain could be a rain of grace. Gunpowder."

"Right, yeah, you're right"

I just agreed with Jinglian's words I went on to say. Perhaps if I were you, this would be the rain of grace when it started to rain, moving around with all the army bows, throwing bows from the sides of the marching enemy soldiers and ambushing them, taking over the first general. I thought you said something about that. I can't afford to think about that at all right now.

On March 19th, Asai Asakura coalition forces joined us south on the west bank of Biwako, received the report, and left Uzayama Castle the next twentieth day, that is, at dawn today. Wearing an armored helmet, he gave a knife, held a spear, and was struck by unusual tension when he carried a bow and rode a horse. It's been like this ever since.

"Until the enemy shows up, we can do nothing but kill our breath and wait inconspicuously. Keep your body cool."

I nodded when I was told, and did as I was told. Then the reward that can be delivered is that the Allied forces march slower than they thought, and the battle may be before sunset. That's what I meant. I wanted this tension to end as soon as I could, and then I wolfed, frightened, and panicked for two or three minutes and each and every one of my enemy allies. I didn't really understand why I was gradually nervous as I did so, tired of being frightened and able to look around at some point.

"Jinglian, I'll give you a message."

The rain was getting much stronger. I won't even say I can't see it in front of you, but I'm pretty sure you're getting a bad vision.

"To the woods, sir? Or to the castle?

"Neither, to the hole crowd."

Poor sight and foot means the enemy's march will fall even further. The winter is just over and the day is short. In half an hour from sunset, the surroundings are dark. In other words, today's match will end in two long moments, or less if we estimate it short.

"For today's battle only, our high morale formula for victory is high. The problem is tomorrow."

There are only a limited number of situations in which an oligarchy can hit a large army and win. Things are in order today, such as poor vision and the fatigue of the enemies who have marched and this one launches an ambush, but if tomorrow rises and we continue to fight until sunset, this unit will surely collapse. A thousand horsemen must know a dream story and a heart.

"Because I want reinforcements from the hole crowd?

"I wish I could do that, but don't answer that."

"Then what?"

"Give me the flag and have me become a phony soldier"

At the Kanagasaki exit, Saitan Daisheng tried to burn more fires, raise more flags, and show more allies. Do the same thing as that.

"The more the ambush is today, the more frightened the enemy will be by the ambush. retreat in the meantime."

"Cheng Cheng, you're back on track"

To my story, the long rule I was listening to said. Nodding.

"Apparently I have a small liver. It's a pitiful story, but every time we fight in the future, this could happen."

"There's no way. Because hundreds, if not tens of thousands, of people die by their actions, it is the Admiral who is frightened and naturally, that is normal."

But once in a while, in the first place in the general, some people still take the rank.

"Sincerely"

I laughed small enough to include Jinglian. I also heard Hicha, and the laughter of the ancient left. Looks like Ancient Left's back on track again.

"He said he saw the leader of the Asakura Army from the front."

At that time, the reward we were waiting for gradually came in, and we immediately went into battle preparation. Outside Sakamoto is the battlefield. Of his allies, some lie down on the earth, and some hide in trees, waiting for their enemies as they are exposed to the wind and rain.

"Don't do the handles to the Forest House alone. The Admiral's head is ours."

The Long Rule says forcefully. Shut up and listen. Jinglian has no trouble taking care of his bow. You can't use a gun with a spark rope in this rain. This is a rare battlefield where bows can beat guns. You must be happy.

The only enemies who showed up were the vanguards, obviously more than us. The 30,000 soldiers I saw as allies and the 30,000 as enemies have a completely different impression on me.

"When Lord Mori Kasei and the others rush out, we fire together. If I release two arrows per person, I will lay down my bow and storm."

After that, it will depend on how I give instructions, but it will be a white soldier battle on the spot.

The beating of the heart that had subsided gets bigger again. The leading cavalry can already ask for an expression.

"Gone."

Someone shrugged. Forest Squad moves and runs at full speed. Some of the Asakura forces immediately noticed the Forest Squad, others completely unaware, and when the leaders of the Asakura Squad shouted 'It's an enemy attack', our unleashed arrows had already sewn down between the rains.

The first blow is more right that he kicked it out than he hit it. Were you not alert to anything, the horseback martial artist was immediately driven off his horse by the front line of the Forest House, where he was struck in the neck by the hands of the footmen who flocked there.

Enemy avant-garde collapses. He retreats, hits allies who were behind him, and breaks the formation himself. Lord Kasei Mori also moves gestures to do so and commands the enemy not to form a team to fight back. It was still a move that made me feel the experience of a man who had been fighting on the front lines since before my father achieved his tail reunification.

"We're going in!

We, who unleashed two arrows, also ran and hit the enemy. Anyway, I kept running and pushing. There are cheers, yells and screams that scratch out the sound of rain. When we stopped, we immediately felt surrounded by enemies, and we kept running, and when we found a mass of enemies, we jumped into its center. Young Asakura's footsteps bravely come to terms with many surprised and confused by the ambush. Stick a spear deep into the man's chest who shook up a knife that could never be said to be of good quality.

Through armor, breaking through the skin, breaking meat, crushing bones, and piercing the body of one human being. It was just a thrust, and all sorts of sensations turned all over my body through my hands. This is the feeling of killing humans. For the first time in my life, it was the moment I killed someone.

Buffoo, and the man who threw up blood with his cuckoo voice. The pierced spear couldn't get out of my body, and when I was in a hurry, the ancient left kicked the man's body and pulled me through. Because of the rain, the ground is covered in mud and puddles are formed. The ground stains from brown to red.

"Excellent work"

Ancient left laughed at me on the horse as I wiped the tip of the spear. There was excitement on the battlefield. I was certainly feeling fear, too. But I'm not unconscious this morning. Nodding, looking for the next enemy. Anyway, I want to hold my enemies back until sundown.

I don't have any fine memories of the riots since. What I found out was that in the battlefield, they were neglected, such as the sharpness of the spear, and quickly became sharp sticks. I managed to keep up the deception and deception battle while using it that way, like smashing it down, snuffing it off.

"The enemy will pull!

Shortly after the sunset came as we continued to fight, Asakura began to withdraw. From Sakamoto north, I would not have retreated to Kenda, but I took enough distance to finish my first day of battle.

"... are you done yet"

I didn't feel any fatigue. I didn't think it was enough, it really felt like a moment. It's just not just the first one, the feeling when you kill and hurt people doesn't go away as if you stuck to your body.

"He was a brilliant general."

He repeatedly said that he was holding hands, opening them, and he was told the rules. Looks like he's getting blood back, but that's already being shed by the rain, too. When I nodded not knowing what to answer, that cut the thread of tension, now my body began to tremble, and I was wrapped in a tiredness that was difficult to resist.

"This will continue tomorrow."

"I don't think this is going to last a whole day tomorrow."

The words came out honestly. I don't think I can live. I don't want to die, but I also felt like I could accept death.

"The first battle is a great victory."

And we rose high to make it sound like 30,000 enemy troops.

"Kids are good things."

Looking at the army, which would probably be ready across the darkness, he murmured that Lord Kasei had absolutely nothing to do with it.

"A certain wife and I were lucky enough to have many children. It's often on the battlefield and you can't take care of it, but it's still cute for each one of you"

I couldn't answer that word, and I looked on its side in silence. Lord Kasei's face seems tired, enlightened, and lonely. Kasei Mori, who has two men and two women between him and his wife and does not have a side chamber, is famous in the Oda family as his wife's loving wife alongside the Ten Soldiers' Palace.

"Some younger brothers than their sons, if they fit, will be six men. Thinking about their future, thinking about what kind of men would be good for their daughters' husbands, thinking about them that way, is in the battlefield and healing their feelings of slaughter."

Six more younger brothers to the five sons, says Lord Kosei. Of course, Koron counts for you. You've lost one. How can you say that? It's best to snort yes.

"Koron is no better at martial arts than his brother. You thought this shouldn't be the case as a brother. I was desperate to be strong."

"Lord Koron is not good at martial arts, is he inferior? Sure, my brother is ten this year..."

"I say twelve. It's more expensive when you're a Kolong kid on your upper back, but you're strong, and you're temperamental. Then it may not be that Kolong and I are not close enough to each other that they rejected it and cornered Kolong. Don't let my brother discourage you, I was in a hurry. If we were not close, if we did not interfere with each other, we would have been able to reopen that our eldest son would not need martial arts or anything like that."

"Really?"

I wondered how many monsters that Koron's younger brother, who was brave enough not to excel in martial arts, was, but now he says it's not something I can ask.

"Was Kolong a good friend to Mr. Bandage?

"Yes, I was a friend of Makoto"

I was able to answer that question with a strained heart. At Kotani Castle I was helped. I knew that whenever you were my squire, if anything, you were always thinking of fighting for yourself and letting me get away with it in the meantime. He was serious and responsible, and as the same eldest son, he was close to hardship.

"This is the first time I've lost someone and thought it would be so hard."

After I said that, the conversation broke off for a while. I thought that arranging any more extra compliments and such would only make the words thinner.

"Boom."

Eventually, Lord Kosei said so to shake something off, and the story moved on to something about the war, inspired by that one word.

"The enemy is thirty thousand, this is two thousand. I've done some damage in the first place in today's battle, but from that big army, I can't say it's a big pain."

I nodded. It was only an error as I was able to defeat a thousand people.

"I also thought about retreating in the shade of night, but if caged in Uzayama Castle, it would be expected that the enemy would leave only suppressed soldiers behind and head to Kyoto with all other armies. If the main unit of your lord is sandwiched, Oda will collapse, that is, the defeat of the Oda family. We want to buy time here in two days."

"I'm in awe"

The next morning, there was news from the rear. My father, who is on his way to Noda Fukushima, has raised his battle in Regent and is leading the main unit back to Kyo. This report greatly increased the morale of our allies.

At Sakamoto during the day, we watched the Allied armies that would never attack us while watching us far-flung, tilting their heads. Whether it is advantageous to be hit from the front if you become a great army.

Then, in the evening, the Morale of his allies fell when he received reports that Asai Asakura Coalition Army had joined the monks and soldiers of Yuen-ji Temple. Like the seven heads of Takashima, I didn't give in because I didn't enemies. I didn't make a bitter choice not to perish. The boys are not supposed to fight over territory. We should also be able to protect our neutrality. It just seemed clear to those who were going to win, and the soul gall to suck only the sweet juice.

"Tomorrow will be a total offense."

"You think you can fight through a day?

Even the long rule doesn't seem to answer my question, if I can pick up the first Admiral Asakura Jingmirror. She said something like that.

The next day, Sakamoto was sunny and sunny, and he had a good look at the enemy army that had increased in numbers.
