The west bank of the Santu River

The soldiers of the Ohno clan, led by Ohno Hiranobu, confronted Matsugami Yoshimitsu who had arrived in a hurry, and although Ohno was desperate to cross the Santu River and camp on the east bank, he was still one step too late.

Ohno is on the west bank, Yoshimitsu is on the east bank, and the confrontation between Matsugami and Shenmu in the past is like a reincarnation. It's a pity that the Shenmu family has long been extinct, and the Matsugami family has also fallen into power, so the impermanence of the world lies in this!

"Ohno Heinobu!" Matsugami Yoshimitsu who was dressed in clothes stepped forward according to the samurai tradition and angrily rebuked Ohno Heino: "The Ono clan has been a retainer of the pen of the family for hundreds of years, and the successive lords of the Matsugami family have always treated the Ono clan with great courtesy.

Now that the father and son of the ancestor have just been cold, you have held the young lord hostage and taken the opportunity to suppress the important ministers of the family, it is really shameless, and today I Yiguang must use your head to repay the favor of the ancestor for his reward. ”

"Damn!"

However, it is said that Ohno Hei Nobu saw that Matsugami Yoshimitsu, who had always been suspicious, regarded himself as a loyal servant of the Matsugami family everywhere and degraded him to a person who betrayed the master, and was immediately ashamed, although Ohno Hei Xin had already had the ambition of taking the Matsugami family and replacing the 12,500 stone territory of this western member, but he still regarded himself in his heart as the loyal minister of the Matsugami family and the successor of the will of the ancestor Matsugami Yoshiyuki, and only in this way could Ohno Heinobu take the family business of the Matsugami family with peace of mind.

While talking about loyalty, I always think about the next kami, this is the contradiction of the samurai.

So at this moment, Ono Heinobu, who hated Matsugami Yoshimitsu very much, immediately scolded back: "What a bunch of nonsense, my Ono clan's loyalty to the precedent doctrine does not need to be commented on by others!" However, you, who are more prosperous on the outside, became an important minister of your family by temporarily blinding the ancestors, and you were even given the old collar of Shenmu as a place to live.

Such a great grace not to mention that the seventh generation killed in retribution, but also should be cautious and loyal to the lord, and now a few days after the death of the ancestor you tried to cut off the territory and try to stand on your own, it can be seen that you have long had the idea of betraying your family.

Today, I, Ohno Heinobu, swear here, that I will cut off your head with the sword in my hand one day! ”

Matsugami Yoshimitsu saw that Ohno Hei Xin kept saying that he was loyal to the Matsugami family, but he only mentioned the ancestor Matsugami Yoshiyuki without mentioning the young master, and understood that this person was just a person who sold his reputation and reputation, although he also had the intention of replacing the main family in his heart, but it did not prevent him from despising Ohno Heixin......

After a war of words, the war finally began after Matsugami Yoshimitsu and Ohno Heinobu each claimed their own morality and determination to destroy the other.

Because the soldiers on both sides were less than one meter tall and could not withstand the impact of the river all year round, neither Matsugami Yoshimitsu nor Ohno Heinobu dared to cross the Santu River in front of each other's fierce eyes, so the traditional arrow battle began.

I saw Matsugami Yoshimitsu and Ohno Heinobu tacitly understand each other and walked several positions behind their soldiers before stopping, both of them are people who have been in battle for a long time, if they are accidentally injured by a goalless stray arrow, it will be too humiliating.

"Shoot the arrows!"

"Shoot the arrows!"

With the two orders in succession, the soldiers of Ohno Heinobu and Matsugami Yoshimitsu drew their bows and shot arrows to attack each other. Of course, there are no specialized archers, and as for the quasi-leader, they can only rely on luck and talent, after all, both of them are just miscellaneous soldiers gathered from the people.

In this way, the two sides faced each other for about an hour across the still turbulent Santu River, and each other's arrows were almost consumed. No one dared to cross the river for the time being, and as for the result of the battle, three or two people were killed on each side and eight or nine soldiers were wounded, so Ohno Heinobu and Matsugami Yoshimitsu had the intention of temporarily returning to the army. Institutions

"Stop shooting!"

Matsugami Yoshimitsu saw that his arrows had been exhausted, so he ordered the battle to be closed, and seeing that there were many bows and arrows from the Ono side on the position, it was a pity that he added another order.

"Tsuno Kahei, lead the soldiers to collect all these arrows, and you must return them all to Ohno Heishin in the future!"

"Haha!"

The cost of bows and arrows is not low and it is a consumable self-frugality, and Tsuno Kahei did not start to act in the slightest, and the same is true for the Ono army on the other side.

Since the Onin War, nearly half a century of war has impoverished the whole of Japan, and in order to survive, the big and small lords have no time to take care of other things, and even if they have income, they are consumed in the war. Even those big names who have hundreds of thousands of stones across several countries, as long as they are not greedy for pleasure, they are actually just eating a few more bowls of rice than ordinary people, and at most two more fried small fish.

As for those ambitious samurai masters, they lived like ascetics, and it is said that Ukita Saburo Saemon Nao, one of the three great masters of the Warring States period, often went on hunger strike three or five times a month to save military rations. In fact, how much can you save? However, although Japan is poor, there is no shortage of all kinds of luxury and pleasures, and once the determination to save money is released, it can no longer be contained.

And small tyrants like Ohno Heinobu and Matsugami Yoshimitsu have to engrave their abacus in their hearts at all times, and the so-called failure to calculate for a while is equivalent to ten defeats.

After returning to the temporary camp, Matsugami Yoshimitsu met with Yoshiki Ichizuku and Yoshiki Nagamasa, who had returned safely.

"Lord, I have lost Liangmu Village entrusted by the lord, please punish the lord!"

As soon as Yoshihei Yoshimitsu Matsugami saw Yoshimitsu, they hurriedly pleaded guilty, and they were really ashamed to lose such an important place as Ryoki Village at such a critical moment.

Matsugami Yoshimitsu didn't care, he already knew the story of the battle of Ryoki Village, and it was good to have such a Warring States. Although he was a little disappointed that he couldn't hold Liangmu Village, judging from the comparison of the strength of the two sides at that time, he was useless.

Moreover, Matsugami Yoshimitsu does not have many talents, and Liangliangmu has always been cultivated by him as an important minister in the future, so how can he blame him.

So Matsugami Yoshimitsu helped the two of them up and said, "I already know everything about this battle, and it is very good to have such a result." This hall has ordered people to write down your merits and recount them after the war, so that the war will be even better to build new achievements! ”

"Haha!"

Yoshiki Nagamasa and Yoshiki Ichihei saw that the lord did not blame, but had expectations, and suddenly had the intention of retribution, and they were Matsugami Yoshimitsu was promoted from the farmer to the samurai, which can be described as a mountain.

Soon after, the two of them retired. After a while, Matsugami Yoshimitsu summoned the leader of the ninja clan, Chiyo Mochizuki.

The Mochizuki clan has recovered a lot of strength under the strong support of Matsugami Yoshimitsu, although the ninja can't fight but is useful, and now Matsugami Yoshimitsu has a big thing to hand over to Chiyoyo Mochizuki.
