Early the next morning, after breakfast, the army of the Murakami family began to prepare, and as the vanguard reserve, Yashiro Mitsumasa urged his men to fight early.

The Iwashita family and Ueda Nobukata were placed in the first wave of attack queues.

Several people got together and hid behind the first row of ashigaru, and Ueda Nobukata was not too tired, and personally carried a piece of wood to resist the arrows.

As Yashiro Mitsumasa attacked with a shout, Iwasita Naka urged his Ashigaru group to start climbing the hillside, and the gate of Zenkoji Temple was on a slope of more than forty or fifty meters.

The slopes of the hill were bare, and the trees and bamboos had been cut down, and when they began to climb, the Takanashi family in the city began to shoot arrows.

"Doot toot..."

Several arrows were shot at the wooden pole that Ueda Nobukata was carrying, and he was surprised: "How do you feel that so many arrows are shooting at me!" ”

Iwashita, who had long been far away from Ueda Nobukata, shouted, "Nobukata, have you forgotten! You're a fierce general of your own family, and your armor is easy to recognize, so the other party will hit you first! ”

Ueda Nobukata's eyes widened, this is all the fault of fame, and now he is being taken care of.

He was miserable, a large number of arrows were fired at him, and many of them fell on the road, which made Ueda Nobukata's front even more empty.

The slope is also relatively steep, it has been rested, and people are used to using their hands and feet when climbing, and Ueda Nobukata tied something under his straw sandals to increase the resistance, but he still had a hard time climbing because he was taken care of.

Yadai Mitsuru saw Ueda Nobukata who was in a worrying situation below, and his heart was full of joy, and the depression in his heart for many days was swept away.

He shouted below: "Rush forward!" No one can return! On the second team, urge the first team! ”

In order to force Ueda Nobukata to death, he had already made every effort to kill the first team under Zenkoji Castle, and even the second team was pressed up, and now he only has one reserve in his hand.

"Humph!"

Ueda Nobukata snorted as he climbed, his wooden skull was about to crumble, and now his shoulder armor had been shot with an arrow, but it didn't hurt his skin, it was just hanging on the armor.

Ueda Nobukata saw that his wooden pole couldn't hold up a few times, so he threw it away, and then grabbed the ten-character gun with one hand and the weeds on the ground with the other, speeding up his running.

"Whew!"

After Ueda Nobukata was fully exposed, he was targeted by the samurai of the Takanashi family, and a cold arrow shot at his head.

Ueda Nobukata hurriedly lay down, climbed up with his hands and feet, and before he could catch his breath, he was hit by an arrow in his back, still stuck in his armor.

He shouted lucky, and the whole person rushed hard and ran under the city gate, and there was no one left to shoot him.

However, Ueda Nobukata ran too fast, and the Murakami army behind did not follow, and some people fell down the hill because of the ashigaru in front of them.

Some of them fell down and wailed when they were hit by arrows, some climbed very slowly in order to avoid the rain of arrows, and a few ashigaru who carried the crashing city wood, it was even worse, and they were the second to be taken care of.

Perhaps seeing that the Murakami army was seriously disjointed, Ueda Nobukata did not stay long under the city gate before the city gate was opened.

Only then did a gap open, and Ueda Nobukata and a samurai of the Takanashi family looked at each other.

"It's Shinano Devil Ueda Shinkata!" The samurai in the city gate roared.

Ueda Nobukata secretly scolded his teammates for being unreliable, and at the same time raised the ten-character gun and stabbed it in.

The samurai immediately blocked with a horizontal spear, but he was no match at all in terms of strength, and he could not retreat, so he was directly stabbed to death.

The samurai screamed, his hands loosened, his spear fell to the ground, his hands propped up on the gradually opening city gate, his eyes widened, and his mouth murmured, "But... Hate..."

Ueda Nobukata pulled out the head of his spear, and the samurai shuddered, blood spurted out, and as the gate opened two positions, the samurai fell, revealing the figure behind him.

Ueda Nobukata scolded, and immediately ran back, there were clearly dozens of people in this city gate, and there will only be more in the future.

Seeing Ueda Nobukata running back, a Murakami samurai who was close to him shouted, "Don't retreat!" Kill it! ”

Ueda Nobukata was not false, and scolded: "You fools, come so slowly! I've killed a samurai at the gates, and you haven't arrived yet!

Hurry up and climb up, the enemy is out! Rushed by the other party, we are all finished! ”

"Kill! Drive down the bastards of the Murakami family! ”

"Take the head of Ueda Nobukata and you can be rewarded with 100 kans!"

When Ueda Nobukata heard the sound, he immediately turned around, and a ashigaru had already run near him, and the spear was stabbing silently.

He hurriedly turned around, the head of the gun grazed his armor, and he instantly raised the ten-character gun with a shot, and his head suddenly broke and bled out, and he fell down with a scream.

One ashigaru fell, but more ashigaru and samurai rushed behind him, and Ueda Nobukashi didn't feel that he was in Musou mode, and immediately retreated.

At this time, the rain of arrows on the city gate had stopped, and the soldiers of the Murakami family in the back finally climbed the last few meters of distance.

However, where is the opponent of the Takanashi Army, which is already a little tired, if it weren't for the support of Ueda Nobukata, it would have collapsed long ago.

However, there was still no order to retreat from the rear, two teams, more than 200 people, and now only more than 100 people remained.

Ueda Nobukata glanced back and said angrily: "What is Yayoman doing, the third team will not be sent, and we will not be asked to retreat!" Damn it! ”

Ueda Nobukata turned around for a moment, and a samurai from the Takanashi family shouted: "Ueda Nobukata, you still dare to be distracted, is it true that there is no one in our Takanashi family?" ”

"Poof..."

Ueda Nobukata screamed in pain, and his left hand was stabbed near the elbow on the upper arm, and the blood stained his clothes red in a moment.

Immediately afterward, another ashigaru stretched out his spear and stabbed Ueda Nobukata in the abdomen, but fortunately, the armor was hard and the head of the spear was inches into the flesh.

Ueda Nobukata gritted his teeth, pulled out the head of the gun, screamed, and the whole person fell backwards and rolled down the hillside.

The morale of Murakami's army collapsed and he fled down the hill regardless of it, while Iwashita's father and son ran to the place where Nobukata Ueda rolled down.

The attack failed, and even the fierce general Ueda Nobukata is now uncertain, and the morale of the Takanashi family is greatly boosted.

Yoshikiyoshi Murakami, who was in the camp, saw that the green tendons were violent, and he shouted angrily: "What is Yayo Man doing? So stupid, withdraw his troops! ”

Yadai Masakuni is also not easy to say anything, and he also blames Yadai Manzheng for his actions, which is too obvious.

Murakami Yoshikiyo said again: "Go and get the letter back and heal him!" ”

Yashiro Masakoku's face suddenly turned ugly, and this time Yashiro's face was swept to the ground by Murakami Yoshi.

As for Ueda Nobukata, that is, Kohei Jiro, he rolled down the hill and pretended to be dead, and was carried back to Asahiko Castle by Iwasita and his son.
