A Tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Chapter 750 31. Two Brothers Chase Together

Honda Tadakatsu had been with Kohira for a short time, and had not hung out with the Oda clan's ministers when the Oda clan was in its infancy. If Heiroku or Tatsunobu Sanchiki were here, they would have shouted "Got it!"

Wow! All the big fish are caught in one net!

Not to mention Oda Nobunaga and his son Oda Nobutada, who among the generals present, Mori Nagayoshi, Maeda Toshiie, Kanamori Nagachika, and Mori Nagahide, is not the future lord of a country or a city in history. Not to mention Hanakuro Saemon Naomasa, who has been appointed as the guardian of the mountain castle and inherited the name of Harada, and is famous for a while.

It's a pity that Honda Tadakatsu has not seen so many Oda generals. He only saw that Mori Nagayoshi's Nanman Kabuto was very valuable, and the warhorse under his crotch was also quite majestic. His first reaction was that this was a big fish. As for the other warriors on horseback, since they had thrown away all the decorative horse gear before, even the gorgeous armor was thrown on the tanshodai, they looked less conspicuous.

"The Yamanouchi clan foot soldier general Honda Heihachiro Tadakatsu comes to ask for advice. Do not kill unknown people under the spear!" Honda Tadakatsu shouted again.

Although he was shouting, his Tonokiri had already set his sights on Mori Nagayoshi. The young man was too honest, he would only focus on those who were well dressed, and he didn't know who his neighbors were.

"I am the son of Mori Sanza, the guardian of Jiangnan, and the Oda sidekick Mori Katsu Sangayoshi!" Mori Nagayoshi saw that there was no escape, and he was courageous, and immediately raised his spear to fight, without fear.

It turned out that he was the sidekick of the Oda family, which was equivalent to the leader's chief secretary! If you are a thoughtful person, you should think that the leader's chief secretary is here, so the leader will not run far away. But our Honda Tadakatsu learned a lot of fighting skills from Xiao Pingtai, and the spearmanship was also exquisitely learned from Nagasaka Nobumasa and Sakakibara Nagamasa.

But he didn't learn to calculate a few more steps in his mind!

"Just in time!" Without paying any attention to the father and son of Oda Nobunaga next to him, Honda Tadakatsu ran for a long time, and now he finally caught a big fish, and excitedly rushed forward.

Mori Nagako was a brave general who would be the "Ghost Musashi" in the future. A spear helped him build a huge family business of 200,000 stones in Kaijin. Needless to say, his skills were amazing. Seeing Honda Tadakatsu's high spirits, sharp spears, and full of energy, the air around the two seemed to be still for a moment.

They attacked from high positions on horseback, the man was a brave general, the horse was a good horse, and the heart moved as he wished, and the horse circled around. Although the moves looked extremely simple, they were all ruthless, and there was no intensive sound of ping-pong, but the spirit of competition was breathtaking.

Five or six of the remaining twenty riders stayed behind to fight against the dozen or so horsemen who followed Honda Tadakatsu to kill. No one cared about the rest, and they ran away.

Honda Tadakatsu finally reacted now. These people did not protect the leader's secretary when he was beaten, and they continued to run. There must be a big fish among them. But the opponent Mori Nagako's guns are life-threatening. Even he can't be distracted. How can he just let Mori Nagako go and continue to chase.

Sakakibara Yasumasa's horse is not as good as Honda Tadakatsu's. When he ran to the mill, he saw Honda Tadakatsu fighting with a general on horseback on the riverbank. There is no need to mention these two. Whether in this plane or in history, they are brothers who grew up peeing and playing in the mud together. Except for not having the same father, their relationship is better than that of brothers with the same father.

Seeing his little brother being beaten, Sakakibara Yasumasa came up to help without saying a word. But he knew Honda Tadakatsu's arrogance and would not be willing to let others share the credit (help). So he brought his family and miscellaneous soldiers to kill the few samurai around Mori Nagako and help Honda Tadakatsu clear the field.

After fighting for a while, Mori Nagayoshi also found Honda Tadakatsu's strength. Because he was fed with milk and pork since he was a child, Honda Tadakatsu was now 1.55 meters tall, tall and strong, with a very strong waist and back. Now there is no enemy cavalry to harass him, and the attack is more fierce.

"Here!" A loud shout.

Mori Nagayoshi raised his spear to block, and the fine spear shaft with hardwood core, silk wrapped and painted was cut off by the spear of the dragonfly. The spear swept down and hit Mori Nagayoshi's left shoulder. Immediately, the armor piece was broken by the huge external force and scattered.

Suffering this heavy blow, Mori Nagayoshi fell off his horse with a cry. Several infantry soldiers of the Yamauchi army rushed up to hold him down, and immediately someone took out a wakizashi and stabbed Mori Nagayoshi's neck.

The future "Ghost Musashi" Mori Nagayoshi is going to die!

"Koheita! Hurry! There is a general of the Oda party ahead!" Honda Tadakatsu saw someone cutting off heads, and immediately called Sakakibara Yasumasa to chase after him.

"What? Who's ahead?"

"This is Mori Katsuzo, the side view of Gifu Tansho!" Honda Tadakatsu had already turned his horse and ran onto the street.

"Gifu Tansho!" Sakakibara Yasumasa swallowed his saliva, as if he understood something.

"Wait for me for a while!"

"I won't wait for you!" Honda Tadakatsu saw Sakakibara Yasumasa catching up, and still stopped his horse on the street to wait.

The two of them rode away, this time without even bringing infantry, if they could catch up, they would catch up, if they couldn't, they didn't care. With such good martial arts skills, and the two brothers together, they could go anywhere, and they were not afraid at all.

However, the two of them didn't have a ready horse, and the war horses ran all the way, which was far slower than the horses under the crotch of Oda Nobunaga and others that had eaten salt and rested for a while, and they didn't even see the group of people just now after running for a while.

"Did we go the wrong way?" Sakakibara Yasumasa didn't see Oda Nobunaga and his group at all, and was a little confused.

"Impossible! We just left not long ago!" Honda Tadakatsu was very sure.

While running, dozens of Takanashi cavalrymen followed behind. When they saw Honda Tadakatsu and Sakakibara Yasumasa, they asked who they were chasing. Honda Tadakatsu did not hide it and said loudly that he saw Oda Nobunaga in front.

The eyes of those Takanashi cavalrymen lit up when they heard it. If they captured Oda Nobunaga, they might be able to exchange it for hundreds or thousands of kan of Zhixing territory when they returned home, and they would be among the ranks of high-ranking retainers.

Many of them no longer cared about the horsepower. Compared with the horses, if they killed Oda Nobunaga, it would be worth dying a hundred horses.

Not long after, they really stopped another group of seven or eight Oda Nobunaga. The two did not know whether Oda Nobunaga was in it, but Honda Tadakatsu personally felt that he was not, so he left this group, bypassed the battle group and continued to chase forward.

The surrounding fleeing soldiers and Echigo cavalry increased, and they saw a lot of messy people and horses entangled along the way, but these were not the targets of the two.

"Oda clan's Akamori general Kanamori Goro Hachicho has been captured!" The cheers of the Takanashi cavalry came from behind.

Another Oda clan general was captured. Now, not only Honda Tadakatsu, but also Sakakibara Yasumasa was very sure that Nobunaga himself was among the people who escaped.

There was nothing more to say. The two of them urged their horses and led the way!
