One of the Genpei Wars "Battle of Yashima" ..
It's been exactly one year since the "Battle of Ichinodani", which won the surprise attack operation of going down a steep cliff with a horse.
At the Battle of Yashima, Mr. Taira directed to Genji "Shoot the target of the fan on the ship with a bow!" It is a famous battle for the first time in an unreasonable manner.
This time, I will introduce the battle of Yashima.
"Fan target" What else happened?
Let's go.
Strategy for sailing in the storm of Yoshitsune!
1184 , At the Battle of Ichinodani Minamoto no Nori And Yoshitsune Mr. Taira, who lost to his brother, is Yashima Escape to (Takamatsu, Kagawa Prefecture).
After the Battle of Ichinodani, Noriyori will return to Kamakura and Yoshitsune will return to Kyoto to maintain security.
Don't listen to Pope Shirakawa
Mr. Taira was chased by Kyo "Leaving the Capital" At that time, "three sacred treasures" have been passed down to the Emperor's family for generations. I have.
I want to get it back Go-Shirakawa
..
Before the Battle of Ichi-no-Tani, Pope Go-Shirakawa directed "peace negotiations" to Mr. Taira. I have done it.
Mr. Taira accepted it and disarmed it, but there was a defeat with Genji's total attack. ..
Once again, Pope Go-Shirakawa is a messenger of peace Will be sent.
As expected, Mr. Taira has no ears to listen to this time. I don't eat the same hand.
This is "The Great Tengu of the World" I'm Go-Shirakawa.
Noriyori goes to China, Yoshitsune goes to Shikoku
The forces of the Taira clan in Yashima have begun to rebound and have begun to reach the Sanyo Expressway in the Chugoku region.
Minamoto no Noriori dispatches to suppress it To do.
February 1185 in an unpleasant battle situation Minamoto no Yoshitsune also dispatched Will be.
Yoshitsune, grudge with Kajiwara Kagetoki
Yoshitsune before sailing to Shikoku And Kajiwara Kagetoki Dispute with Has happened.
At the time of the scenery, in order to free the ship to move in and out, " reverse turret
"
Proposed to add.
"It's the Inobusha who just moves forward and doesn't know to retreat!"
Yoshitsune, on the other hand, "I can't win if I think about running away from the beginning! It doesn't matter if I'm a warrior!" I will say back.
In addition, Yoshitsune pushed away the opposition of the scenery in the storm , Departed for Shikoku with only 150 horses on only 5 boats.
Arrive in about 4 hours on a route that normally takes 3 days .. The difference between 1 day and 4 hours is effective for this. Still a very fast arrival.
I attacked Mr. Taira of Yashima with the same momentum.
And when Kagetoki arrived, Mr. Taira had already escaped.
This Kajiwara Kagetoki is deeply regrettable And later Yoshitsune And his brother, Minamoto no Yoritomo At the time of the conflict, Yoshitsune will be hunted down by Yoritomo. People's resentment is scary.
The Tale of the Heike "The Target of the Fan"
Taira's army escapes to the sea by Yoshitsune's surprise attack.
When the Genji army is found to be surprisingly small, the Taira army also fights back.
And the time is evening.
Ceasefire On the battlefield, Mr. Taira entertainment To start.
Suddenly, a small boat with a beautiful woman appeared, "Shoot the target of this fan!" Isn't it provoking?
"If you remove it, Genji's name will be broken!" Nasu no Yoichi ..
"Minami Hachiman Bodhisattva, Shinmei of our country ... If you remove this, you will commit suicide ..." When I decided to shoot an arrow, I shot through a fan . It is.
Both Genji and Taira applaud this.
The Tale of the Heike "Yumi Nagashi"
Yoichi Nasu who shot through the target of the fan.
Perhaps I was impressed by this, Taira's warrior, about 50 years old, begins to dance on a ship with a fan It is.
However, Yoshitsune was merciless and gave Yoichi "That warrior also shoots through!" I order.
Yoichi's arrow also hit this warrior and fell to the bottom of the ship.
The angry Taira attacked again.
Meanwhile, Yoshitsune drops his bow into the sea.
"Please throw away the bow" Yoshitsune tries to pick up the bow in a fierce attack.
Yoshitsune "I didn't pick up the bow regretfully. If it's a fine bow, I'll let Mr. Taira pick it up on purpose, but the enemy picked up such a weak bow, and this is the bow of Genji's general. If you laugh, it will be a shame until the last generation. That's why I picked it up instead of my life. "
The vassals were impressed by Yoshitsune, who kept the name of Genji rather than his own life.
Summary
This time, we set sail in the storm at the Battle of Yashima.
Dispute with Kajiwara Kagetoki.
We introduced "Fan Target" and "Yumi Nagashi", which are also famous in The Tale of the Heike.
Minamoto no Yoshitsune's success in the Genpei War is remarkable, but Yoshitsune's selfishness such as the split with Kajiwara Kagetoki and the unreasonable surprise attack operation. In addition, the vassals were also quite accumulated It looks like.
Even during the quarrel with his brother Yoritomo, there weren't many friends around Yoshitsune's defense . It is said that.
Even on the night of the Battle of Yashima, when the soldiers were exhausted and asleep, Taira was about to slay at night , although it was not realized. ..
If the night slaughter was successful, Mr. Taira would have won.
It is difficult to leave results, but it is also the role of the boss to think about the position of his subordinates.
