Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Battle of Shinjinkan (4)

Katayama Army Military Tent.

Katayama Nobuho is anxiously waiting for the response of the Shinjin Pavilion at this time, if this is the case, Shintsu Guangyou will still be a shrinking turtle and not come out of the city, then he can only take Katayama and Meihu two coalition forces to storm the Shinjin Pavilion. However, in this way, the loss of the Katayama family will be great. Suddenly, a shout of killing came from Katayama Nobuho's ears, and Katayama Nobuho was overjoyed. He immediately walked out of the military tent and saw that it was Shinjin Guangyou who was led out of the city. Katayama Nobuho reacted quickly, and he gave an order to the samurai of the Katayama family to act according to the plan and led the Katayama family's army to meet the Shinjin army.

Outside the Shinjin Pavilion, the more than 200 troops of the Shintsu family, under the leadership of the head of the family, Shintsu Mitsuya, quickly killed the military formation of the Katayama family. The Katayama Army also fought with the Shinjin family under the leadership of the head of the family, Katayama Nobuho. The two sides of the Xinjin Army and the Katayama Army came and went, caught each other, and fought fiercely. About half an hour later, the Katayama army gradually declined for some reason, and the head of the Katayama family, Katayama Nobuho, directly ordered to retreat.

The head of the Shintsu family, Shintsumitsu, was overjoyed when he saw that the Katayama army began to retreat.

"Could it really be that the Great God of Hachiman blessed me with the Shintsu family, and under the leadership of my Shinjin Mitsuyu, I defeated the Katayama family and unified the Mu-gun?" Shintsu Mitsu couldn't help but think so in his heart, and he immediately pulled out his katana and shouted to the samurai ashigaru of the Shintsu family. "Who can take the head of Katayama Shinho and reward the field with 500 stones." Saying that, Xinjin Guangyou took the military strength of the Xinjin family and chased the Katayama army for more than ten meters.

At this time, the old man of the Shintsu family, Sajiro Doi, found that the family's military strength had gradually moved away from the Shintsu Pavilion, and he couldn't help but be a little worried, and he crossed his horse to the side of the lord Shintsu Mitsuyu, and admonished. "My lord, since the family has repelled the Katayama family's army, it is better to return to the Xinjin Pavilion immediately. If the army of the family goes out of the city for a long time, stay away from the Xinjin Pavilion. I'm worried about something wrong. ”

Sajiro Doi's words are old-fashioned. However, at this time, Shinjin Mitsu Mitsu has been blinded by the victory in front of him, and he is dreaming of being a commander of Mu County, how can he listen to Doi Sajiro's words. Sure enough, Shinjin Mitsu's face became cold. "Since Doi-sama is worried that something will happen, then you should go back to the Shinjin Pavilion first, and the main hall will also want the warriors of the family to annihilate the Katayama army in one fell swoop." Saying that, Shintsu Mitsu took his horse and crossed Doi Sajiro to continue to chase the fleeing army of the Katayama family.

Sajiro Doi looked at Shintsu Mitsu's distant back with a bitter expression, and he knew that he had annoyed the lord with his successive advices. Sajiro Doi couldn't help but sigh secretly. "That's it, just follow the lord and fight. It's the duty of a samurai. With a decision in his heart, Sajiro Doi also rushed to the direction of the Katayama army's rout.

In this way, the Katayama army fought and retreated, and the Xinjin army chased and chased, and before he knew it, Shinjin Guangyou chased out a few hundred meters with the Xinjin army and came to a local canyon called Komikyo. At this time, the army of the Katayama family, which had been in a rout, suddenly stopped and immediately formed an army formation. Seeing this, Shintsu Mitsu knew that he had fallen for the Katayama family's trick to lure the enemy, and couldn't help but shout loudly. "Quickly retreat, this is the trick of the Katayama family. Immediately withdraw to the Shinjin Building. ”

The troops of the Xinjin family also prepared to retreat when they heard the lord's order. But at this time, it was too late, and the army of the Umedo family, who had already been ambushed in Komixia, was also killed at this time under the leadership of the head of the family, Umedo Takahiro. They just blocked the retreat of the Xinjin army. Before you know it, the Xinjin family army is surrounded.

"Hahaha." At this time, Nobuho Katayama, the head of the Katayama family, now rode out on horseback. "Shinjin Guangyou, you have already fallen for the family's plan. Now the forces of my Katayama family and the Ume family have surrounded you. If you surrender, the main hall can keep the name of the Shintsu family. Otherwise, the Ise Shinzu family will be cut off today. ”

"Dreaming, I will never insult the prestige of the Xinjin family. The samurai of the Shintsu family followed the main hall and went out. "I didn't pay attention to the persuasion of the Katayama family, Shintsu Mitsu.

"Okay, then you will disappear with the Xinjin family today. Kill all of you, and kill the people of Xinjin Guang who will enjoy 500 stones. "Katayama Nobuho saw that Shinjin Mitsu was unwilling to surrender, so he took the two armies of Meihu and Katayama to kill the forces of the Shintsu family. Soon, the Shinjin army fought with the two coalition forces of Katayama and Meihu. However, because the Xinjin army was located in the canyon area, and the military strength was far less than that of Katayama and Meihu, the two families were gradually defeated and fell into decline.

"Ahh While the two sides were fighting, Shinjin Guangyou suddenly fell off the horse with a scream. It turned out that an arrow had hit Mitsu Shinjin in the chest. The morale of the soldiers in the Warring States period was tied to the main general. Originally, the Xinjin army had gradually lost its defeat, and at this time, the military strength of the Xinjin family was even more declining when they saw that the lord was seriously injured. At this time, there happened to be a few enemies who found the landing Shinjin Mitsu and were about to kill him to receive the merit.

"Hugh hurts my father-in-law, I'm Sajiro Doi." Just at this time, the old family of the Shinzu family, Sajiro Doi, arrived. He first killed a few enemies around Shinjin Guangyou, and then pulled Shinjin Guangyou onto his horse and shouted without saying much. "The samurai of the Shinzu family, they are loyal to the lord, but the time has come. I, Sajiro Doi, took the lord back to the Shinjin Pavilion first. You cover us in the back. With that, Sajiro Doi rode out with Shintsu Mitsuyu.

Katayama Nobuho was about to chase after him with his own army, but at this time, the samurai of the Shinjin army were in front of them without fear of death. By the time the two allied forces of Katayama and Umedo killed the samurai of the Shintsu family who were standing in front of them, Sajiro Doi had already run away with the seriously injured Shintsu Mitsuyu. Seeing this, Katayama Nobuho couldn't help but feel a little regretful. "It's hateful, I failed to do my best in one battle, and I got rid of Xinjin Guangyou in one fell swoop."

At this time, Kondo Yoshitsuna persuaded. "The lord doesn't have to worry, the Xinjin family has suffered heavy casualties in this battle, so I don't have to worry about it. If you refer to Japan, you can win the Shintsu Pavilion. ”

"Haha, that's true." The look of regret on Katayama Shinho's face was swept away for a while. ......

On the other hand, Sajiro Doi finally rushed back to the Shintsukan with his lord Shintsu Mitsuyu and the defeated soldiers of the Shinzu family. At this time, the remaining army of the Xinjin family was less than 100 people, and everyone was wounded. When Sajiro Doi had just helped Shintsu Mitsu to sit down in the assessment room, Shinjin Mitsu suddenly burst out with a mouthful of blood.

"My lord."

"Father's Palace."

Seeing this, Shinjin Mitsu's retainers and sons became worried. If something happens to Shinjin Guangyou at this time, then the Shinjin family will really be finished. Fortunately, Shinjin Guangyou is only overly sad and angry, and it is not a big deal. He said remorsefully. "I regret not listening to Sajiro's words. Otherwise, how could my family have fallen into such a situation. Now that most of the family's army has been killed and wounded, is it possible that my Ise Shinzu family will be cut off in my generation? Wow, poof. Saying that, Shinjin Guangyou spit out another mouthful of blood. The retainers around him were also a little depressed.

"Lord, my family may still be saved." Just when there was a gloomy cloud in the assessment room of the Xinjin family, a voice came.

Everyone in the Shinzu family followed the voice, and this person was none other than the old Doi Sajiro of the Nitsu family.
