Chapter 30 six to ten

six Six Constructions After the Heike family moved to Fukuhara, the soldiers of the four countries gradually changed their minds. Among them, the soldiers belonging to the Awa and Sanuki countries planned to betray the Heike family and seek refuge with Genji. He may not be willing to accept it, why don't we declare war on the Heike family as a means of submitting to the Genji." They heard that Kadowaki Nagon Gyomori, his son Echizen Totsumori, and Noto Shou Gyosuke were stationed at Shimotsu Well in Bizen Kingdom. So he went to attack, and sailed there in more than ten warships.Neng Dengshou was rewarded and said: "These guys with sinister intentions have always cut horse grass for us, but now they dare to break their oath! In this case, kill them all without leaving one!" So he took a boat and ordered: "One Don't miss out, kill them all!" He greeted them.The soldiers of the Four Kingdoms were just a bluff blow, and when they were attacked violently, they felt that they could not resist the enemy, retreated in a hurry, and fled towards the capital.They fled to Fukurabo in Awaji Country, where they took refuge with two members of the Minamoto clan, one was the last son of the late Rokujo judge Minamoto Yoshihisa, and the other was Yoshihisa Awaji.So he supported the two of them as generals, built a castle, and prepared to defend.Notoshou immediately came to attack, and after a day of fighting, the champion of He Mao died on the battlefield, and the champion of Awaji was seriously injured and committed suicide.Noto Shou beheaded all the more than 130 people who had put the enemy's cover arrows, recorded the list of those who had done meritorious service, and returned to Fukuhara.

Kadowaki Nagonhei taught Mori from Bizen to Fukuhara.His two sons wanted to punish Kono Shiro of Yiyu Kingdom for disobedience, so they sent troops to fight against the four kingdoms. First, the elder brother Echizen San Tongsheng led the army to Awa's garden city, and then his younger brother Neng Deng guarded it. The scriptures arrived in Yashima, Sanuki country.When Kono Shiro heard the news, he wanted to join forces with Numata Jiro of Akiguchi as his maternal uncle, so he moved to Akiguchi.Noto listened to the news, and immediately set off from Yashima in Sanuki to pursue it. After arriving at Minoshima in Bingo Country, he launched an offensive against Numata Castle the next day.Numata Jiro joined forces with Kono Shiro to resist.Notomori launched a fierce offensive. After a day and night of fierce fighting, Numata Jiro felt that it was difficult to defend against the enemy, so he took off his helmet and surrendered.Kono Shiro still did not give in, and only fifty of his five hundred cavalry soldiers remained, so he had no choice but to abandon the city and flee.After walking for a short time, he was surrounded by 200 cavalry led by Heihachi Bingwei, a samurai who was able to ascend the guard. In the end, only the master and subordinate seven cavalry fled.When they wanted to escape by boat and ran towards the sea along a narrow road, Yoshino Sanuki Shichiro, the son of the sharp archer Heihachibei, rushed after him, and five of the seven riders were shot down.In the end, Kono Shiro had only two master and slave riders left.Kono's servants were dedicated to covering the lord's breakout, but Sanuki Shiro chased him and dragged him off his horse. Just when he was pushed down to cut off his head, Kono Shiro pulled his horse back and beheaded Sanuki Shichiro who was on top His head was thrown into the deep water field.Then he shouted loudly: "Kono Shiro Ochi communicated, he was 21 years old, and this is how wars are done. Those who are capable, come and fight!" As he said, he carried his soldiers on his shoulders, went out of the position vigilantly, and boarded a small boat , crossed to the country of Yiyu.Although Notomori let Kono run away, he returned to Fukuhara with his general Numata Jiro.

There is also Amo Rokuro Takakage, a resident of the Awaji country, who rebelled against the Heike family and returned to Xin Genji. He sailed to the capital with two large ships carrying military provisions and armor.When Noto was stationed in Fukuhara and heard the news, he sent ten small boats in pursuit.Anmo Rokuro went to the interior of Nishinomiya and turned around to meet the enemy. After all, he couldn't resist the fierce attack, and finally retreated and fled to Fuuiura, Izumi country.Ji Yiguo, who lived in Yuanbianbei Zhongkang, also turned his back on the Heike family and went to Genji. He heard that Ann

Ma Liulang was attacked by Noto Shou, and had retreated to Fuuipu, so he led a hundred cavalry to join forces with him.Notoshou immediately sent troops to follow and pursue them. After a day and night of fierce fighting, Anmo Rokuro and Yuan Bianbing felt that it was difficult to resist, so they let their subordinates shoot arrows to cover them, and fled to the capital alone.Noto Shou returned to Fukuhara after beheading all the more than 200 soldiers of the enemy's army who had released cover arrows. Kono Shiro, a resident of the Yiyu Kingdom, corresponded with them, joined forces with the residents of the Bungo Kingdom, Usuki Jiro Wei Taka, and Ogata Saburo Oyoyoshi, and joined forces. A total of more than 2,000 people crossed the sea to Bizen Kingdom and stationed in Imaki Castle.When Notoshou heard the news, he led more than 2,000 cavalry from Fukuhara to attack Imaki Castle.Notoshou said: "This group is a strong enemy, and we must attack him with superior forces!" So tens of thousands of troops were transferred from Fukuhara to form a disparate advantage.The soldiers in the city fought hard, exhausted all the means of fighting and fighting, and finally said: "There are many Heike soldiers, but we are few, and we can't kill them no matter what. Let's abandon this place and find a chance to breathe." Usuki Second-rate

Lang and Ogata Saburo fled to Kyushu by boat, and Kono Shiro fled to Yiyu.Notoshou thought that there was no enemy to fight, so he withdrew his troops and returned to Fukuhara.Headed by the Minister of Internal Affairs, all the ministers of the Heike family and members of the palace will gather together to express their gratitude to Noto Shou for his repeated military exploits. -------------------------- [1] Minamoto Yoshitomo is the grandfather of Minamoto Yoshitomo and the father of Minamoto Yoshitomo. -------------------------- seven San Cao Chen Bing On the twenty-ninth day of the first lunar month, Minamoto Lai and Minamoto Yoshitsune gave a memorial to the Emperor for marching into the Western Kingdom to pursue and suppress the Heike family.The emperor issued an edict: "The three imperial treasures handed down from ancient times in this dynasty: the divine mirror, the divine seal, and the divine sword, you must take extra care to bring them back to the palace intact." The two men bowed and retreated.

In the same year, February 4th was the anniversary of the death of the late Taoist Prime Minister Kiyomori Kiyomori. In Fukuhara, Buddhist ceremonies were held as usual to commemorate the deceased, but it was just a matter of etiquette.Because of fighting for many years, I didn't pay attention to the passage of time, and before I knew it, another melancholy spring came.If the situation was good in the past, it would have been time to erect a stele and erect a pagoda for the Buddha and the monks, but now it's just the younger men and women gathered together, crying and offering sacrifices.Then as usual, officials and nobles were conferred, and monks and laymen all had a share.Minister of Internal Affairs Zong Sheng said: "Monwaki Chuna Yanjiao Sheng can be promoted to

It is the words of the two masters. " Jiao Shengqing said: "I am still alive today, isn't it a dream within a dream?" Because of this answer, he was not promoted to Dai Nayan.Dawaiji Zhongyuan Shizhi [1]'s son Zhou Fangjie Shichun was promoted to Dawaiji.Shaofu Zhengming of the Ministry of War was promoted to five Tibetans, so people called him Shaofu Tibetan.In the past, Ping Jiangmen[2] conquered the eight kingdoms of Kanto, established the capital in Xiangma County of Xiazong Kingdom, and called himself Prince Ping.But today's situation is different. Although he abandoned the old capital, he still carries the three kinds of artifacts handed down from his ancestors.

After the news spread that the Ping family had captured Fukuhara and was about to return to the capital, those who stayed in their hometown were all happy for them.The two monks are both Quanzhen [3], because they used to be classmates with Prince Chengrenfa [4] in the Kajii Palace Temple, so they often get some news, and the prince often writes to him.The letter said: "Every time I recall the scene during the journey, I feel miserable. The capital has not yet settled down." And wrote a song at the end of the letter: Secretly give the daydream to Luoyue, Tired pays tribute to Kansai.

The monk pressed his face close to the letter, and couldn't help weeping sadly. Let's talk about Xiaosong's three lieutenant generals, Ping Weisheng, who have not been able to see his wife and youngest son who stayed in the old capital for many years. They really miss him and are extremely sad.Although I have also entrusted the businessman to pass on the news, knowing the situation of my wife in Beijing, it only adds to my depression.So I planned to take him over and let them be together to obey the fate; but then I thought, I can finally endure such a situation, and my wife's coming here is inevitable.It is hard to get rid of such longings and sorrows, and the affection of the husband and wife is indeed obvious to all.

Besides, Genji originally planned to attack Fukuhara on February 4th. Knowing that this day was the death anniversary of the late Taoist Prime Minister, he asked them to hold Buddhist ceremonies and did not attack immediately.The 5th is Xisai Day, and the 6th is Daoxu Day [5], so it is planned to fight the Yuanping two families outside the East and West Village Gates of Yizhigu at Maoshi on the seventh day.But on the auspicious day of the fourth day, Genji divided his troops into two groups, front and back, and set off from the capital.The general on the front is Fan Lai, the governor of the imperial court, and his generals include: Takeda Taro Nobuyoshi, Kagami Jiro Yuanguang, Kagami Kojiro Changqing, Yamana Jiro Gyoji, Yamana Saburo Yoshiyuki; Samurai generals include Kajihara Taira Sankei, and The eldest son Minata Keiji, the second son Heiji Keigaka, the third son Saburo Keigie, Inage Saburo Shigenari, Harutani Shiro Shigerou, Harutani Goro Yukishige, Koyama Koshiro Chaomasa, his younger brother Nakanuma Goro Somasa, Yuuki Shirou Tomomitsu, Sauki Hirotsuna Shiro, Zen Master Taro Michitsuna of Onodera, Soga Taro Nobu, Nakamura Taro Shikei, Edo Shiro Shigeharu, Tamai Shiro Sukei, Okawazu Taro Hiroyuki, Shozaburo Tadaka, Soshiro Takaie, Katsudai Hachiro Yukihei , Jiro Shigemitsu Jiuxia, Taro Kawahara Takanao, Jiro Kawahara Morinao, Fujita Saburo doctor Xingtai and others led the way, with a total of more than 50,000 riders.Departing from Kyoto at a quarter of a hour on the fourth day, the battle was set up in Kunyangye, Setjin Kingdom, at Shenyou hour of the same day.The generals on the back are Yoshitsune Kuro Yusao, whose generals include: Yasuda Saburo Yoshisada, Ouchi Taro Oiyoshi, Murakami Judge Dai Yasuo, Tadaro Crown Master Nobuzuna; Samurai generals include: Doi Jiro Shihei, his son Yataro Ento Hira, Miurasuke Yoshisumi, his son Hira Liuyi, Hatakezanso Shijiro Shigetada, his younger brother Nagano Saburo Shigekiyo, Miura Sawara Juro Yoshinori, Wada Kotaro Yoshinori, Wada Jiro Yoshimo, Wada Saburo Munemi, Sasaki Shiro Takatsuna , Sasaki Goro Yoshikiyo, Kumagai Jiro Naomi, his son Kojiro Naoie, Hirayama Takeshi Soki, Amano Jiro Naotsuke, Kogawa Jiro Zino, Hara Saburo Kiyomi, Kaneko Juro Iechu, Kaneko and Ichimo Fan, Watanabe Yagoro Kiyotada, Beppu Kotaro Kiyoshige, Tatara Goro Yoshiharu, his son Taro Koyoshi, Kataoka Goro Keiharu, Minamoto Hachiko Tsuna, Ise Saburo Yoshimori, Sato Saburo Tsunobu of Oshu, Sato Shiro Tadanobu, Eda Gen Three, Kumai Taro, Musashibo Benkei and others went first, with a total of more than 10,000 riders.On the same day, they departed from Kyoto at the same time, traveled through Tanba Highway, and arrived at the east mountain pass of Mikusa Mountain at the junction of Harima and Tanba on the same day, called Onohara.

At about 9 o'clock that night, Genji's Kuro Yusao Yoshitsune called Doi Jiro and asked: "At the west entrance of Sancao Mountain, three miles away, there are a large number of Heike troops. Shall we attack at night tonight, or start a war tomorrow?" He stepped forward and replied: "If the battle is postponed until tomorrow, the Ping family will gather more and more troops. The Ping family has more than 3,000 cavalry, and our side has more than 10,000 cavalry. The number of troops is at a great advantage. How about going to attack tonight. Doi Jiro said: "That's right, Tashiro-kun. Then send troops immediately!" So he got on his horse and set off.The soldiers all said: "It's so dark, how can we fight?" Jiulang Yucao said: "Light the torches as usual!" Doi Jiro replied: "Yes, this will be done." fire.Then, the mountains and plains, the grass and the trees, all burned up, and the light was as bright as day, and the Sanli Mountain Road rushed over quickly. This person named Tashiro Kanzho was originally a descendant of Nayan Yuan, the former governor of the Izu country, and his mother was the daughter of Kanosuke Fujiwara Momitsu. He was fostered by his grandfather since he was a child, and learned martial arts.Speaking of his family origin, he is the fifth-generation great-great-grandson of Prince Ziren, the third prince of Housantiaoyuan [2]. The Hera family did not expect to be attacked that night, and thought: "The battle must be tomorrow. If you want to fight, you must get enough sleep. Get a good night's sleep." Therefore, although there are vigilance in front, the people behind may be They all slept soundly on their helmets, or on their sleeves or quiver.In the middle of the night, Genji's 10,000-strong army came over, their shouts were loud.The Ping family's soldiers were in a mess, some forgot their bows with their bows, and some forgot their bows with their arrows. Fearing that they would be trampled by the enemy's war horses, they got out of the gaps between the horses.Genji chased these fleeing enemy soldiers from east to west, and soon beheaded more than 500 horsemen and injured countless people.General Komatsu Shin, three lieutenant generals Zimori, three major generals Yumori, and Tango's attendant Chubo, felt that the situation was over, and fled from Takasago in Harima to Yashima in Sanuki by boat.Beichu garrison Mori, together with Hiranai Hei and Ebi Jiro retreated to Ichinoya. -------------------------- [1] Zisheng, Yousheng, Zhongfang, and Shisheng are the second, fourth, sixth, and fifth sons of the late Minister of Internal Affairs Shigemori Ping. 【2】Gosanjo-in is the title of Emperor Sanjo (reigned from 1068 to 1072) after the abdication of the seventy-first emperor of Japan. -------------------------- Nine old horse Minister Zongsheng sent Aki Umasuke Nengyuki to convey instructions to the princes of the Heike family, saying: "Kurō Yoshitsune has succeeded in Sancao, and has already attacked Ichinoya. The mountain area is very important, so prepare to fight each other." After hearing this, they all retreated.The Minister of the Interior said to Noto Shoujiaojing again: "You have made great contributions to many battles, so I should thank you." , If you don’t want to meet a tough opponent, you can’t win a battle. No matter how many times, as long as there is a strong enemy, let me go, and I will definitely kill him. Please rest assured.” After hearing this, the Minister of Internal Affairs said, I was very happy, so I took Etsuchu former Si Shengjun as the vanguard, and Noto guarded and led more than 10,000 riders forward.Noto defended the mountain together with his elder brother Echizen and the three Tong Shengqing.The so-called mountains are the foothills called Bulbulus.Tong Shengqing took his wife to Notoshou's camp and said his final farewell.Notoshou said angrily: "This is a strong enemy, so the scriptures are allowed to fight. The enemy is indeed strong. Seeing that Genji is about to attack from the top, I am afraid that he will be caught off guard. Don't shoot the arrow; if you set the arrow, I'm afraid you won't be able to draw the bow. At that time, it will be useless to tell you." After such admonition, Tong Sheng felt that he was wrong, so he put on his armor immediately and sent his wife back. At dusk on the 5th, Genji marched from the Kunyang field and gradually approached the Ikuta forest.The members of the Hera family looked around the area of ​​Que Songyuan, Mikage Pine, and Kunyangye, and saw that Genji had set up formations everywhere and lit bonfires.In the dark night, the distant view is like the stars in the clear sky.The Heike family also lit a bonfire as usual, and lit it in the Ikuta forest; when the sky was about to light up, it looked like moonlight appearing on the mountain.This scene is reminiscent of the ancient poem "Starlight at night, fireflies by the river" [1].Some of the Minamoto soldiers were feeding their horses in this position, and some were unloading their saddles in that position; the Heike side was afraid of being attacked immediately, and did not dare to relax for a moment. At dawn on the 6th, Kuro Yucao divided the 10,000-plus riders into two groups. One route, Doi Jiro Shihei led 7,000 riders to attack the west side of Ichinoya, and he personally led 3,000 riders to detour to the bulbul behind Ichinoya. Cross the foot of the mountain and attack the enemy's back via Tamba Road.The soldiers all commented: "This is a famously dangerous place. I would rather die in battle with the enemy than fall to my death. It would be nice if there is a guide who knows the mountain roads well." Ji Zhong knows the mountain trails here." "You grew up in the Eastern Kingdom, and it was the first time you saw the mountains in the Western Kingdom, how could you know the mountain trails here? It's unbelievable." After Yu Caosi said, Hirayama Jizhong said again : "What the general said is not entirely true. The flowers of Yoshino and Bose [2] are known to those who sing; the path behind the enemy's besieged city is known to the brave." appearance. Beppu Kotaro, a resident of Musashi, who was 18 years old, went forward and said: "My father, Master Yoshinori, said: If you are attacked by the enemy, or you are hunting in the mountains, if you get lost for a while, you can let go of the old horse's reins. Let him walk freely, and he will surely find the way." Yu Caosi said: "This is not bad. There is a saying in ancient times: the snow covers the wilderness, and the old horse knows the way." bridle, tie the rein on the saddle, let it lead the way, and go into the strange deep mountains.At this time, it was the beginning of February, when the snow melted on the top of the peak, and the flowers of early spring first bloomed; At the end, the winding path of moss is secluded; the snow dances with the wind, and it is suspected to be plum blossoms.Swinging the whip and galloping the horses, they had arrived at dusk, so they immediately lined up their troops and prepared to attack.At this time, a resident of Musashi brought an old man.Yu Caosi asked: "Who is this?" He replied: "It's the hunter in this mountain." "Then, I know the path, please tell me clearly." "It's true, I really know." "I want to start from here How to get to the valley of the Heike Castle?" "There is no way to go, the valley is thirty feet deep, the cliff is fifteen feet high, there is nothing for people to climb, and it is impossible for horses "So, can deer pass through this place?" "Deer can pass. When the weather gets warmer, the Harima deer move to Tamba to sleep deep in the grass; Tanba's deer came to Harima for food in shallow places." Yu Caosi said: "Ah, there is a way. Where deer can go, horses can't go. You can be a guide!" The old man said to himself I'm old and can't work anymore. "Do you have a son?" "Yes." The son's young name is Xiong Wang, and he is eighteen years old, so he called the son here. So, he combed his hair in an adult bun.His father's name was Takeshi Washio Shoji, so he named him Sanlang Yoshihisa Washio, let him ride a horse and lead the way, and everyone set off together.Later, after the Heike family was wiped out, Yusao Diao and Minamoto Yoritomo fell out, and when Oshu was crusaded, Washio Sanro Yoshihisa and Yusaoji died in battle together. -------------------------- [1] The original poem can be found in: "Is it the starlight on a clear night, or the fireflies by the river? No, it's the bonfire of the fishermen in my hometown!". 【2】Mount Yoshino and Bose Town in Nara Prefecture are both famous for their cherry blossoms. -------------------------- ten Champions League In the middle of the night on the 6th, Kumagai Jiro Naomi and Heiyama Jishige all joined the attack. Kumagai said to his son Kojiro Naoka: "After rushing down from the natural danger of Bulkotsu with this team, it is impossible to tell who is leading the battle. Let’s get out of here and go to Harima Road, where Doi Jiro Shihei was ordered to attack in a roundabout way, and fight for the first attack against Ichinoya, isn’t that good?” Kojiro replied: “That’s certainly good, The Zhi family also thinks so, so let’s go.” Xionggu said: “Also, Pingshan is also on this road, he doesn’t want to mix with others and make trouble, go and see how Pingshan is!” The subordinates went to inquire.As he expected, Pingshan was ready to set off earlier than Xionggu, and he was talking to himself: "Don't make any noise, I, Ji Zhong, can't fall behind others in fighting." The horse side complained: "This horse is really disgusting, it can't stop eating!" Then he whipped.Ping Shan said: "It can't be like this, it's just one night with this horse." After saying that, he got on the horse and set off.Xiong Gu's subordinates flew back to report the matter.Kumagai said: "Sure enough, as I expected", and set off immediately.Kumagai is wearing a brown straight jacket, an armor stitched with akane-colored leather, and a red arrow-proof vest, and is riding a famous chestnut-colored horse.Kojiro was wearing a straight gown with a light Sawayodo leaf pattern, and an armor with a flowery rope texture, and was riding a moon-white war horse named Xilou.The standard-bearer who accompanied him was wearing a yellow-blue straight jacket, armor with yellow cherry blossoms printed on the blue ground, and riding a yellow-red horse with white hair.On the left is the cliff, and they rode forward from the right.Pass the ancient road called Tianibata, which is usually inaccessible, and walk towards the seaside line of Ichinoya.In a place called Shioya near Ichinoya, when the night was getting dark, Doi Jiro and his 7000 riders were waiting there for the opportunity.Kumagai walked along the seaside and took advantage of the cover of night to pass through Shioya with agility, approaching the city gate to the west of Ichinoya.At that time, the night was deep, and there was no sound from the enemy's side, and there was no one from our own side.Kumagai Jiro called his son and said: "There are many people fighting for the first battle. Don't think that Zhishi is the only one. Now that you have come here, wait for the dawn while preparing for the battle nearby, and first announce your name!" He urged the horse. When I came to the Heike Village, I shouted loudly: "I am the resident of Musashi, Kumagai Jiro Naomi, and his son Kojiro Naomi, the pioneers of Ichinoya." When the enemy's horse's legs are tired, shoot him again." No one paid any attention to him. At this time, another warrior ran up from behind on horseback.Ask him: "Who is it?" He replied: "I am Ji Zhong, who is the person asking?" "I am Zhishi!" "Oh, it is Xionggu, when did you arrive?" "Tonight." " I also followed right away, but because I was tricked by Narita Goro, I delayed my arrival until now. Narita swore to me that he would rather die together, but when we were on the road together, he said again: "Hey Hirayama, do you really want to lead the battle? You want to lead the battle. As long as the people who pass your side advance first, whether it is a hero or a coward, people can see it clearly. If you are just a single horse rushing into a large group of enemy troops to die, then there is no way. What's the use of it!' He persuaded me like this, and I also think it is reasonable. After walking up the hill first, I reined in my horse's head and waited for my troops. Then Narita followed, and I just wanted to keep pace with him to discuss how to attack the enemy. But he suddenly changed his mind, gave me a hard look, and urged the horse to gallop past. I thought to myself: This guy is trying to trick me into taking the lead. At this time, he rushed five or six steps ahead of me, but his horse Seemingly not as fast as my horse, I overtook him in one breath. I said, "You are so cunning! Ji Zhong is also easy to be deceived!" So I threw him off and galloped to the Valley of One, alone. Leaving him far behind, I'm afraid he won't even be able to see my back." A total of five riders in Xionggu and Pingshan waited there, waiting for the fighter.When the day was about to break out, Kumagai had already reported his name, but because Hirayama was listening, he wanted to report again, so he rode his horse and approached the enemy Zhazhai, and shouted: "The resident of Musashi who has just reported his name Kumagai Jiro Naomi, and my son Kojiro Naomi, came to Ichinoya to be the vanguard. If any Heike samurai dare to fight, come up and compare with Naoka! Hurry up!" Hearing people said: "Hurry up!" Go and capture the Kumagai father and son who have been famous all night!" Who are the Heike warriors who are going to fight? There are Koshichu Jiro Bingwei Mori, Kamso Goro Bingwei Tadamitsu, Evil Seven Bingwei Jing Qing, Goto Nai Dingjing , Including these few people, there were more than 20 elite soldiers riding, opened the gate of the village, and leaped forward.Today Hirayama is wearing a white-spotted printed straight jacket, covered with crimson leather-stitched armor, and an arrow-proof vest trimmed with two horizontal lines. He is riding a famous horse named Mezamao.His standard-bearer wore armor embroidered with black leather, a neck gaiter under the helmet, and rode a crimson moon-white warhorse.Hirayama notified his name and said: "I am the vanguard in the two wars of Baoyuan and Heiji, a resident of Musashi, Hirayama Jizhong." He and the two flag bearers, two mounts, shouted loudly and attacked together.Xiong Gu galloped past, Hirayama rushed over; Hirayama galloped past, Xiong Gu rushed over, both of them were not willing to be left behind, they fought against each other, one clashed with the other, attacking violently like a raging fire.Seeing this powerful attack, the warriors of the Ping family felt that it was difficult to resist, so they retreated into the city, separated the enemy outside the city, and defended with bows and arrows.Xiong Gu's horse jumped suddenly after being hit by an arrow in the abdomen, and Xiong Gu raised his legs and flew off the horse.His son Xiaojiro Zhi's family also rushed to the front of the stronghold to announce his name, saying: "I am sixteen years old." Just as the horse leaped to attack, an arrow hit his left wrist, and he also flew off the horse and stood with his father. "What's the matter, Kojiro, is your hand hurt?" "It's hurt." The father said: "Adjust the armor so that there are no gaps; put down the neck guard of the helmet so that you don't get shot in the head and face." Kumagai pulled out the shot The arrow on the armor glared at the city and shouted: "I Zhishi set off from Kamakura last year and dedicated my life to Lai Chaogong. This time I am determined to return with a horse leather shroud in Ichinoya. You are in Muroyama and Mizushima. In the second battle [2], is Koshichu Jirobei, who became famous in the middle of the battle, here? Are Kamzo Gorobei and Evil Shichibei here? Are you able to climb up and not come here? Takedo's fame also depends on the opponent, am I right Anyone who wants to fight with others, come out and fight Naomi, come out!" Hearing this shout, Koshichu Jirobei dressed in his favorite attire, covered a crimson straight skirt with a red leather armor, and rode The white war horse with flowers galloped towards Xionggu.Xiong Gu and his son were close together, holding the waist knife above their heads, without fear, they approached step by step.Koshichu Jirobei felt that he could not resist the enemy, so he immediately turned around and retreated.Kumagai looked at it and said: "Ah, isn't this Koshijiro Bingwei? Do you think I am not worthy to be an opponent? Let's compete with me!" Come on.The Evil Seven Soldiers looked at it and said, "It's too timid!" As he said that, he wanted to leap forward.Koshichu Jiro grabbed the sleeve of his armor and said: "The victory or defeat of the general depends on one action, and you can't make worthless sacrifices." He stopped him.Xiong Gu changed his mount and shouted to urge his horse to move forward.Hirayama let the horse rest for a while while Kumagai and his son were fighting, and continued to fight at this time.There were not many samurai on horseback on the side of the Heike family, and they mainly fired arrows on the battlements, and the arrows shot down like raindrops; but because they were outnumbered, it was difficult to hit the enemy in the chaos. "Put the horses forward and fight hand to hand!" Although the people of the Ping family ordered so, their war horses were ridden too much and fed less, and they stood on the boat for too long, so they looked very tired.The horses in Xionggu and Pingshan are fat and strong, and if they collide with them, they are in danger of being killed.The standard-bearer protecting Hirayama was shot by an arrow from Hirayama, and Hirayama rushed into the enemy's formation immediately and took the arrow-shooter's head.Kumagai also hacked and killed many people.In this battle, Kumagai arrived at the enemy's position first, but the enemy failed to enter the city without opening the city gate. Although Hirayama arrived later, he was able to rush in because the city gate had already been opened.Therefore, it is very controversial who is the champion and who is the runner-up between Kumagai and Hirayama. -------------------------- [1], see Note 7, Section 2, Volume Nine. 【2】The two battles of Muroyama and Mizushima, see Sections 7 and 9 of Volume Eight.
