Otsu Hohidetaka's squad was in chaos in an instant, although there were Fenggong people who were pressing, but Koizumi Katsuya hurriedly shouted: "Kill the little ones!" ”

The morale of the Ashigaru of the Koizumi team soared, and the skinny Miyoshi family Ashigaru was embraced by the Ashigaru of the Koizumi team and hacked to death with a knife.

Immediately afterwards, they attacked the scattered defense line of the Otsu Army.

The Otsuho team was broken through, and the ashigaru men fled in all directions.

Fenggong shouted: "No retreat!" Go back! ”

But he was squeezed by the ashigaru and pulled back, and his shouts didn't work at all.

As for the other squads of the Miyoshi Army, the situation is not very good.

Shikawa Ichiku looked at the city, slammed his right hand against the wall, and frowned, "Is this Shinano's army?" The combat power looks very strong! ”

The retainers on the side suddenly said: "Lord, let the retainers lead the troops to support!" ”

Before Shihe Yicun gave the order, a samurai from outside came and shouted, "Report! The Uei team has broken up! ”

"Report! Ikeda died in battle! ”

"Report! Akamatsu has been taken by the enemy general! ”

"Humph!" Shihe Yicun snorted coldly, it had only been an hour since the battle, and several squads under his command had already broken up.

He had to admit that Ogasawara Yoshinaga's army was much stronger than his, and he waved his hand and said, "Order all the troops to withdraw to the city and let the iron artillery team cover!" ”

The sound of a golden gong was heard in the castle of Katryuji Temple, and the Miyoshi army that was fighting shouted to retreat.

Koizumi Katsuya was overjoyed when he saw the Miyoshi army in front of him retreating one after another, and exclaimed, "The enemy army is going to retreat, hack them to death!" Leave their heads! ”

The ashigaru also howled: "Don't run! Stop me! ”

"Uncle Ben still needs four heads to be a samurai master!"

"Rewards, they're all rewards!"

A group of Shinano samurai and Ashigaru rushed after them.

Koizumi Katsuya rushed up and caught up with a slow ashigaru, he directly slashed over, pulled the ashigaru's back away, and shouted, "Don't stand in the way of Uncle Ben!" Little ones, chase after it, break through this city, you can get the first credit! ”

At this moment, the gate of Shenglong Temple City has been opened, and the three good army are crowded, constantly running into the city, and it seems that the three good army has been defeated miserably.

Katsuie Koizumi and his team jumped over the first wooden fence and into the trench, about to climb up.

On the castle wall, some samurai saw that the Ogasawara army was about to climb up, so they turned around and waved.

Shihe Yicun nodded, waved the military match in his hand, and shouted: "Shoot!" ”

On the city wall, which had just been empty, a large number of iron cannons poked out of the narrow mouth and pointed downward.

Koizumi Katsuie's eyes were about to protrude, and he exclaimed, "Iron cannon! As soon as he said that, as soon as his legs were weak, he fell down the slope and rolled into the trench.

"Bang ......"

A burst of gunfire rang out, and the charging Ogasawara army Ashigaru suffered a large number of casualties, and the ashigaru who was shot immediately fell to the ground and rolled down, and even the ashigaru behind him was blocked and rolled down together.

When Yoshida Tsunayoshi saw that the team in front of him was frustrated, he immediately turned around and shouted, "What about the wooden tree and the bamboo bundle!" Lift it up! ”

He was organizing a team when a samurai came running and said, "Report! Yoshida, the general orders the whole team to retreat! ”

Yoshida Tsunayoshi immediately understood what the general Shimizu Yasuei was going to do, and he hurriedly said: "Quickly give the order, let Koizumi and them withdraw!" ”

Koizumi Katsuya was being pressed by several Ashigaru at this time, and several Ashigaru people around were moving away and suppressing the Ashigaru corpse of Koizumi Katsuya.

However, there was a bow on the castle wall, and when he saw the armor of Koizumi Katsuie, he shot arrows in the direction of Koizumi Katsuya.

Several ashigaru struggled to resist and had to resist with their partner's body to save Koizumi Katsuya.

Katsuya Koizumi was furious and shouted, "I'm so angry that I'm going to keep attacking..."

"Koizumi... Yoshida ordered the whole team to retreat! A samurai shouted as he ran to his death.

When Koizumi Katsuya heard the order, he could only slam his fist on the dirt slope in frustration and shouted, "Retreat!" Koizumi's team retreated! ”

As the order was delivered, the Ogasawara army quickly retreated.

Shihe Yicun, who was watching from the city, sighed: "The advance and retreat are neat and fast, it's really amazing, our army is not as good as many."

It seems that I have to advise my brother to be more cautious with Ogasawara Yoshinaga! ”

After the Ogasawara army retreated, Yasuei Shimizu stepped forward to protect Miki's artillery team.

Shihe Yicun didn't have time to sigh too much, he saw the big barrel Miki's team approaching, his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly shouted: "Quickly let the big iron cannon be in place!" Shoot at that! He pointed to the location of the Miki team.

The samurai of the Miyoshi Army immediately ordered his subordinates to shoot, and the projectiles hit the bamboo bundles and wooden sticks, and immediately the sawdust was scattered, and the bamboo bundles were also damaged, and many of them were shot and killed.

Shimizu Yasuyoung was on the side, although he was also frightened, but as a fierce general, he did not retreat, but roared angrily: "Steady!" Continue to block with wooden trees and bamboo bundles! ”

Miki hurriedly shouted to his subordinates: "The national collapse team! Get ready to fire! ”

The three squads that controlled the collapse of the country immediately fixed the position of the artillery, and then they immediately poked the gunpowder into the muzzle of the cannon with wooden sticks, and then stuffed the iron ball shells.

Miki waved his knife and said, "Fire!" ”

"Boom, boom!"

As soon as the cannon sounded, the walls of Shenglong Temple Castle shook, and at the same time, a large hole appeared.

When the retainers of Ten Rivers and One Cun saw this scene, they immediately pulled Ten Rivers and One Cun to run.

Shihe Yicun said angrily: "What are you panicking about! Let the sons and daughters go up and repair it! Let the sons fight back! ”

The retainers had no choice but to run and urge their men to resist.

As the cannon fired, the huge power made the opposing soldiers panic for a while, and this time, the big iron cannon and the big barrel of the Miki team had just time to advance the distance, and they loaded and prepared to fire.

After the two sides bombarded each other for a while, the city of Shenglong Temple was no longer what it looked like.

Most of the city walls were destroyed, and Shimizu Yasuei could see the situation inside.

He hurriedly shouted: "Big tube, you can stop!" ”

"Command! The whole army assaulted and attacked the castle of Shenglong Temple! ”

With the order of Yasuei Shimizu, the Ogasawara army, which was already impatient, immediately launched an attack on Katsuryuji Castle.

With anger, Katsuya Koizumi beckoned to his subordinates and said, "Sons! Follow Uncle Ben to rush! ”

"Rush!"

"Kill it!"

Koizumi Katsuya ran and climbed, rushed up the dirt slope, and the castle of Katsuryuji was in front of him.

At the gap in the city wall, Ten Rivers Ichicun has organized a part of Ashigaru to block the gap.

There were 7,000 defenders in this city, and more than 200 people were killed and wounded in the previous battles outside the city, and more than 6,500 people, and after the bombardment, there were more than 6,000 people.

Now Shihe Yicun has organized 2,000 ashigaru to resist, and most of the other are miscellaneous soldiers and peasant soldiers, and their morale has been lost.

Koizumi Katsuya didn't know the prestige of Tokawa Ichiku, and after killing a samurai of the Tokawa family, he shouted: "I'm Shinano's Koizumi Katsuya, can none of you kill me!" ”

Shihe was furious as soon as he was saved, and when he saw the shouting of the Koizumi Katsu family, he was immediately annoyed, and he directly pushed away the retainers and attendants, and shouted: "What a gut! Nobodies dare to shout, but I know that I am a ghost! ”

Koizumi Katsuya sneered: "Ghost Ten Rivers? You dare to call a ghost! My lord is a Shinano ghost, and he is the real evil ghost! Watch me puncture your name! ”

Seeing that Koizumi Katsuya was so arrogant, Shihe Ichicun immediately struck a blow with hatred, and Koizumi Katsuya was stunned.

Fortunately, Koizumi Katsuya had enough strength to resist this blow.

After Koizumi Katsuya was stunned for a moment, he immediately swung his knife and counterattacked, slashing at Shihe Yicun, Shihe Yicun sneered, and came first with a knife in one hand, blocking Koizumi Katsuya's attack.

At that moment, he pulled out his ribs with his other hand and slashed at Koizumi Katsuie's neck, Koizumi Katsuya didn't have time to react, he only felt a pain in his throat, and then he lost his intuition.

Shihe Yicun looked at the fallen Koizumi Katsuya and sneered: "I don't know the so-called guy, he is really looking for death." ”

As soon as Katsuie Koizumi died, his squad lost command and was soon dispersed.

When Yoshida Tsunayoshi saw that his samurai Koizumi Katsuya was killed, and at the same time saw Shikawa Ichicun, he saw the luxurious armor, and hurriedly rushed up and said, "It's Yoshida Tsunayoshi of Shinano!" Come and ask for advice! ”

Shihe Ichigen snorted coldly, and he didn't want to answer Yoshida Tsunayoshi's words, so he rushed directly to Yoshida Tsunayoshi and attacked.

Yoshida Tsunayoshi made a very cautious move, and after blocking a move, he was almost cut to the palm of his hand.

His face changed drastically, and he asked, "Who are you from the Sanhao family?" ”

Shihe Yicun said coldly: "You nobody don't deserve to know. ”

Yoshida Tsunayoshi sneered: "You don't even dare to say your name, it's really a shame for a samurai!" ”

Shihe Yicun's face suddenly turned red, and he said angrily: "I am the ghost Shihe!" Ten rivers and one save is also! ”

Yoshida Tsunayoshi was shocked and exclaimed: "The general of the Miyoshi family, Shiheichi, is here with me!" ”

When Shimizu Yasuei heard Yoshida Tsunyoshi's voice, he hurriedly ran over and shouted, "Where are the ten rivers, Shimizu Yasuei came to ask for advice!" ”

Yoshida Tsunayoshi heard the voice of his own general, and hurriedly said: "Shihe, you are the chief general, and the general under you is going to face off against you, so you will leave first!" ”

After saying that, he ran away.

Shihe Yicun wanted to catch up, but Shimizu Yasuei had already caught up.

Shihe Yicun had to stop and asked, "Are you Yasuei Shimizu?" ”

Shimizu Yasuei nodded and said, "It's next, Your Excellency, please!" ”

Shihe Yicun saw that Shimizu Yasuei's weapon was a big iron rod, and he was heartbroken, and carefully watched Shimizu Yasuei's movements.

He took his spear from his men and placed it in front of him.

Qing Shui Yasui roared angrily, and a large iron rod swept over, and the wind made a loud noise.

Shihe was startled, inhaled himself, and directly resisted a blow, which made him paralyzed and almost took off his weapon.

Shimizu Yasuei shouted: "Good reception! The ghost ten rivers are worthy of their name, and then they will be in the next move. ”

As soon as the words fell, the big iron rod roared, Shihe Yicun's face changed greatly, and he resisted a blow again, and his hands began to tremble.

The retainers of the Shihe family turned pale when they saw the appearance of Shihe Yicun, and they hurriedly rushed up to block Shihe Yicun, and said gossipingly: "Lord, go quickly!" ”

"I'll stop him!"

"My lord, what a useful body you have left!"

Shihe Yicun's face was very embarrassed, and he wanted to say that he could fight again, but when he saw his two retainers being beaten back by Shimizu Yasuei with a stick, it was estimated that he would not be able to take the next blow.

He had no choice but to say: "Today's defeat is all due to the collapse of the Ogasawara army, and it is not a crime of war!" After saying that, he withdrew under the cover of his retainers.

In the main formation of the Ogasawara army, Isshiki Yoshilong was patting his ass and said: "The son-in-law of the lord is extraordinary, and the samurai of the three good families are not the enemies of the lord!" ”

Shigemoto Takenaka also echoed: "What Isshiki said is too right, the lord can sweep Gyeonggi with these three thousand Shinano children!" It is not an exaggeration to call the lord and the leader of Uesugi the only two heroes in the world! ”

Yichang stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Eh, it's too much to say, after all, it's a battle in front of His Royal Highness, and of course his subordinates have to fight for themselves, hahaha." ”

At this moment, Inaba Ryotsu exclaimed: "The general of the Miyoshi family, Oni Shihe, is about to withdraw his troops!" ”

At this time, a group of Meinong people got up one after another and looked up at the battlefield of Shenglong Temple City.

I saw that the banner of the Ten Rivers was retreating in the direction of Settsu.

At the same time, they also saw that Yasuei Shimizu was a samurai or a foot light, as if he had entered a no-man's land.

Isshiki Yoshilong was surprised: "Lord, Qing Shui said that he is the general of the water army?" But this ......"

Yi Changzhi was proud, he raised his head slightly, squinted slightly, and said with a smile: "Hehehe, Kang Ying is the best at water warfare, and land warfare is average." ”

Shigegen Takenaka gasped and said in surprise: "Hiss! The land battle is already terrifying, who can be defeated in this water battle! ”

Yishiki Yilong and the others had obscure faces, and their moods were a little solemn.

Inaba Liangtong hurriedly bowed his head and said: "The lord is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, there are many talents, and the great cause can be expected!" ”

Yoshicho looked at Inaba Liangdao: "Liangtong, I know your talent, as long as you fight for your family, your family will not treat you badly, and your family will definitely not treat meritorious soldiers!" ”

Inaba Ryotsu paused: "Ha! Your Majesty will definitely fight for your family! ”

Yoshicho watched Katryuji Castle raise the banner of his Ogasawara family, and said with great joy: "Everyone, cheer, cheer for the prosperity of the family's martial arts!" ”

Yichang stood up, walked outside the curtain, held up the golden military and said, "Hey~hey~"

"Oh!" The retainers also raised their right hands and shouted.

As the righteous chief shouted three times, the soldiers below continued to shout, and soon there were cheers on the battlefield.

Yoshicho turned around and said: "Shenglong Temple City has been taken, and the westward route of the army has been opened, so quickly send someone to spread the good news to the imperial palace, so that His Royal Highness will be happy." ”

Sanada Nobutsuna took the letter written by Yoshinaga, called two samurai, and the three rode fast horses to Nijo Castle.

Not long after the fall of Shenglongji Castle, the Miyoshi army of Yodo Castle was greatly affected, and the army that had originally left the city and was stationed on a hill near Shenglongji Castle quickly withdrew to Yodo Castle to prepare for battle.

As for the retreat from Katsuryuji Castle, Tokawa Ichicun also fled to Yodo Castle.

As soon as Shihe entered the city, he didn't have time to enter the main pill, so he sat on a stone weakly, and sighed for a long time: "This battle is the worst I lost." ”
