Chapter Forty-Seven: The Fierce Battle of Benye Mountain

In the Katayama family's military formation, Kondo Yoshitsuna, who was originally very proud, stopped laughing after hearing the news of Ashigaru Pass, and suddenly lost his voice as if someone had choked his neck all of a sudden. Kondo Yoshitsuna asked with some disbelieving. "What did you say?"

"Kondo-sama, all the people of Tsuno have retreated to the highest point in the east. Our army is difficult to conquer for a while, so I have come to ask you how to decide next. The ashigaru didn't seem to understand the situation, and repeated the original words again.

Kondo Yoshitsuna was furious when he heard Ashigaru's answer, he simply didn't believe that more than 100 Ashigaru would not be able to capture the small village of Tsuno. Kondo Yoshizuna is also a battle-hardened battleman, and after listening to the words of the herald Ashigaru, he immediately reacted that these ashigaru people began to avoid the battle because they had enough of grabbing it. And that's exactly what happened.

After Kondo Yoshitsuna figured out the reason, he immediately gave an order to herald Ashigaru. "You go and inform the ashigaru who attacked Tsuno Village to attack immediately, and if you can't conquer Tsuno Village today, then all of them will be confiscated."

"Haha." After receiving the order, Ashigaru immediately went to convey Kondo's order to the ashigaru. ......

The ashigaru people of the Katayama family originally had no morale to fight to the death against Tsuno Village because of the great gains, which is why they only besieged Tsuno after discovering that all the people of Tsuno had withdrawn into Tsuno Kahei's house. However, Kondo Yoshitsuna now ordered that if they failed to conquer Tsunomura today, they would lose the loot they had already had, and the morale of the Hirayama army was boosted again.

"Kill, please pacify the people."

"I've fought for the silver judgment."

"Capture Matsugami Yoshimitsu alive and receive a reward from the lord." ......

In order to keep the spoils in their hands, the ashigaru people of the Katayama family rushed to Tsuno Kahei's house one by one. But it was too late at this time, and the Tsuno people were already ready to defend.

Tsuno Kahei saw the Ashigaru of the Katayama family attacking, and immediately ordered the Tsuno people, who were about to stop. "Quick, drop rocks and rolling logs."

"Haha." In an instant, countless falling rocks and rolling logs smashed towards the rushing Katayama army, and as soon as the Katayama army approached Tsuno Kahei's house, they were killed and injured by the falling rocks and rolling logs falling from the sky. Even if a few lucky ones were not hit by falling rocks, as soon as they approached the fence of Tsuno Kaheiyashiki, they were shot to death with arrows or stabbed to death with bamboo spears by the people who had been waiting for a long time. In short, the Katayama army rushed and killed many times, not only could not attack Tsuno Kahei's house, but suffered many casualties. After such a rush for a while, the morale of the Katayama army, which had been hard to muster, was once again exhausted.

The surviving Katayama family ashigaru no longer dared to attack, so they had to send someone to ask Kondo Yoshitsuna again.

Katayama's military formation.

Kondo Yoshitsuna waited anxiously for the results in his tent after ordering the Ashigaru to storm Tsuno Village, and somehow he felt inexplicably uneasy in his heart. Kondo Yoshizuna couldn't help but silently chant in his heart, "Hachiman God bless." ”

"As a report to Kondo-sama, the Tsuno people have prepared a lot of falling rocks. The family suffered heavy casualties, but they were never able to conquer Tsuno Yoshihei's house. At this time, the herald Ashiki ran in, confirming Kondo's concerns.

"What? A bunch of waste. Kondo Yoshitsuna heard that the ashigaru of his family still couldn't conquer Tsunomura, and he couldn't help but curse loudly. He said incredulously. "This time, the main hall will personally lead you to attack, and the main hall wants to see how powerful this Tsuno people are."

After saying that, Kondo Yoshitsuna picked up his katana and came to the ashigaru who were attacking Tsunomura without moving. He said, drawing his katana. "Ladies and gentlemen, the main hall promises you on behalf of the lord that the first person to enter the house on the mountain today will be immediately promoted to the head of the ashigaru group of the main family. In addition, after the main hall conquers Tsuno Village, all the land in Tsuno Village will be allocated to you for cultivation. ”

"Haha." The ashigaru of the Katayama family cheered up again after listening to Kondo Yoshitsuna's promise.

Kondo Yoshitsuna shouted loudly when he saw that morale was available. "Attack." With that, he led Ashigaru to rush up. Kondo Yoshitsuna is not an ordinary ashigaru in the end, although the falling rocks of the Tsuno people are still falling, but Kondo Yoshitsuna uses the sword as a shield and slowly approaches the camp of the Tsuno people. Seeing this, the ashigaru of the Katayama family followed suit, and the Tsuno people, who had the upper hand, began to gradually fall into danger.

"What can I do about this?"

"It's over."

"Hachiman God bless." ......

Looking at the Katayama Army approaching closer and closer, some villagers in Tsuno Village began to collapse.

Seeing this, Matsugami Yoshimitsu suddenly became worried, and he pointed to Kondo Yoshitsuna, who was rushing forward, and said to Tsuno Yoshihei. "Jiaping Palace, presumably this person is the leader of the Katayama family this time. I am quite good at bowing and arrows, can you lend me a good bow in the next one and let him shoot this man, so that the enemy will be terrified. ”

Seeing Matsugami Yoshimitsu say this, Tsuno Kahei hurriedly replied. "Okay, there happens to be an ancestral vine wood bow below, and today I will lend it to the Yiguang Hall to kill the enemy." With that, Tsuno Kahei quickly walked into his house, took a bow and arrow, and handed it to Matsugami Yoshimitsu.

Matsugami Yoshimitsu took the rattan bow and looked at it, and the secret path was really good. The bow has the word Fujimaru engraved on the back of the bow, presumably its name, and there is no ornament on it, but at first glance it is a fine thing. Matsugami Yoshimitsu tried to pull the bowstring, estimating that it had about 10 stones, and he was secretly happy in his heart. Due to the critical situation, Matsugami Yoshimitsu didn't talk nonsense, he picked up Fujimaru and quickly shot three arrows at Kondo Yoshizuna's upper, middle and lower three ways. On the one hand, Kondo Yoshitsuna had to avoid falling rocks and rolling logs, and on the other hand, he didn't expect that Tsuno people would have such a good bow, and he didn't notice that he was shot in the chest by Matsugami Yoshimitsu with an arrow. Kondo Yoshitsuna then fell to the ground.

During the Warring States Period, the morale of the army was all related to the general, and the ashigaru people of the Katayama family saw that the head of the army Kondo Yoshitsuna was injured and fell to the ground, and immediately retreated backwards like frightened birds. It's a pity that Kondo Yoshitsuna himself was also carried down. The people of Tsuno on the mountain saw it, and although they regretted that they could not pursue the Katayama army, they still cheered.

"Hey, hey, hey." ......

After a period of panic, the Katayama Army finally brought Kondo Yoshitsuna back to the Katayama Army's main camp. Seeing that Kondo Yoshitsuna was injured and waiting in this formation, Tsuno Hirayyoshi asked with a point of concern. "Kondo-sama, Kondo-sama, are you alright?"

Kondo Yoshitsuna didn't answer, he took off his armor and pulled the arrow from his chest. The arrow in Kondo's chest was actually fine, but the morale of the Katayama army had fallen to a low point at this time. The places occupied by the Tsuno people are indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack. Kondo Yoshitsuna thought about the lord's entrustment, looked at the demoralized ashigaru people around him, and said hatefully. "Is this temple going to return in vain today? Even a small Tsuno crowd can't deal with how the main hall is going to be on behalf of the lord. ”

Tsuno Kahei saw that there was a faint hint of retreat in Kondo Yoshitsuna's words, and he immediately panicked, this Kondo Yoshitsuna can retreat, but if he can't eliminate the Tsuno people today, he Tsuno Hirayoshi will be found out by his brother sooner or later betraying the Tsuno people, and then I will be finished. Thinking of this, Tsuno Hirayoshi suddenly remembered a secret he had accidentally discovered, and he was overjoyed, and he immediately said to Kondo Yoshitsuna after making up his mind in his heart. "Kondo-sama, the villain has a discovery that can help adults conquer Tsuno Village without much effort."

Shocked for a while.
