"Look! That's His Highness's horse print! The sharp-eyed Yoshisuke saw the flag flying high in the east at a glance, "And a blue flag!" ”

"Your Highness! It's really His Highness's horse print! "The Ashigaru of the Asai family looked in the direction of Hida Castle to the east, and the flag was gradually coming towards the west.

"Your Highness didn't run! Your Highness is here with reinforcements! There was a cheer in the Ashigaru formation, and both the soldiers and the auxiliaries behind the soldiers were excited! It was already a last resort, and many auxiliary soldiers were sent bamboo guns, ready to fight to the death. Now the situation is turning around, and the morale of the Asai army is rising again.

"Sons and daughters fight back! Don't let your Highness down! Hold off the Hexagons! "The various important ministers of the Asai Army saw that the plan was as usual, and they all excitedly encouraged the troops! If Asai Nagamasa comes back a little later, the low morale of the Asai army is afraid that it will collapse. The Asai Army, which had already been cut off from the battle line, was fighting separately at the moment, and was scuffling with the attacking team of the Rokkaku family, and there was no formation to speak of. It was only before that Asai Nagamasa had the advantage in the first half of the battle, causing a lot of casualties to Goto Bei, Gamo Bei and Rokkaku Yoshiji's department, so that their counterattack was not so violent that they directly routed the Asai army.

At this time, the hexagonal family was in the main formation.

"Xianzheng, that boy! Didn't you run away? Rokkaku Yoshixian was taken aback, "Where did those troops come from?" Where is that flag? How I've never seen one! ”

Several of the old and important ministers around looked at each other, not knowing how to answer, and they themselves were completely unaware of the current situation.

"Do ninjas eat dry rice?" Rokkaku Yoshiken roared angrily at a few Koga ninjas, "What's that reserve team! How did you get to Fat Field City? Why don't I know anything! ”

"I'll settle accounts with you when I go back!" Hexagonal Yoshixian scolded fiercely. He now only has more than 300 soldiers on hand, but Asai Nagamasa has 500 soldiers, and he is coming straight to his main formation, and the situation is a bit critical.

"The auxiliaries retreat behind Wenluchuan, don't block here! The soldiers march east to meet the enemy! Rokkaku Yoshiken quickly ordered.

"Your Highness! We have few soldiers, so we should leave 1,000 people in this formation and stick to it! A general admonished.

"Idiot!" Rokkaku Yoshiken scolded, "We are lined up here, it is not easy to mobilize, if we stick to this formation, the people on the left wing will be blocked if they want to come to support us, and the rear of the right wing is completely exposed to Asai Kenmasa!" Our troops are finished! ”

"Forward press!" Rokkaku Yoshiken said firmly to the commander of the thousand people, "Go cover Goto Bei, Kondo Bei their rear!" At the same time, all the reserves were ordered to suspend the offensive against the Asai family, and they all sent some soldiers back to encircle and suppress Kenmasa Asai! ”

The main camp of the Rokkaku Yoshiken from Hida Castle to the battlefield of Norada was only two miles away. By the time the more than 300 flags of the hexagonal Yixian team set off, the eagle was ready to step neatly and had already come to a mile away.

"It's really fast!" The commanding general sighed in a low voice. And even in the fast walking army, the formation of the opposite Asai army was almost disjointed. He hurriedly led his troops to meet them and bid for space for his own formation.

Just when he thought that the battle was about to break out, the troops of the Asai family on the opposite side suddenly came with a neat command of "one, two, three, four" after a password of "stand", and the whole army stopped after standing still a few times. Then, a few more "Look to the right - Qi" commands sounded from the opposite side, and all the ashigaru twisted their heads to the side in unison, and with small steps under their feet, the originally somewhat scattered team immediately aligned horizontally and vertically. Then, with another "forward-look" command, all Ashigaru immediately turned their heads back in unison, staring directly at the stupid Rokkaku in front of them.

"This is..."The more than 300 bannermen of the Rokkaku family were confused by the scene in front of them - how could there be such a neat army! What about those weird passwords and transformations!

What pulled them back from their stun was a low roar from Asai Nagamasa: "Draw your sword!" The five hundred eagle soldiers drew their swords neatly, and the hissing of the swords unsheathed made the Rokkaku family shudder.

"Attack!" Asai Nagamasa strode from the middle of the two phalanxes in the formation to the front of the team! personally raised his sword and rushed forward quickly, and the Asai soldiers behind him roared neatly, and they also rushed forward.

"This morale! This spirit! The Rokkaku family shook his body violently, "Oops! It can't be stopped! ”

"Ask Your Highness for help!" He yelled at one of the heralds, then drew his sword himself and commanded his men to meet him.

The soldiers in the front row of the Asai family are basically elite samurai from Asai Nagamasa's original banner team, and their own combat power is on par with these banners of the Rokkaku family. This time, they lined up in an extremely neat formation, overwhelming like an iron wall, and their morale was like a rainbow!

"The way these guys play! Is it a madman? The Hexagonal samurai standing on the front line screamed and squeezed backwards, eager for cover from their companions. The samurai of the Asai Army were all holding their breath in their hearts, and after the two armies fought, they almost only attacked but did not defend, completely ignoring the katana that stabbed them, and instead swung their swords at the enemy's vital points. Every time a hexagonal army fell, the companions on both sides had to retreat to avoid being killed by the Asai army. But every time a shallow well army fell, someone in the back row would immediately rush to make up for it and go into battle to kill the enemy.

And among them, the most warlike warrior of the Asai family is the governor of the Asai family, Asai Shinkuro Nagamasa! He was dressed in blue armor, wielding a katana, opening and closing as if a god had descended from the heavens, wantonly slashing and slashing the hexagonal army in front of him. He twisted his waist and turned to let go of a katana stabbed at the opposite side, grabbed the opponent's hand holding the knife with his left arm, and stabbed the opponent's abdomen directly with his right hand, twisting the handle clockwise, and immediately blood splattered. Asai Nagamasa drew his sword and pulled it out vigorously, two more local samurai rushed up to attack Asai Nagamasa, Asai Nagamasa grabbed the clothes of the corpse that was caught by himself with his left hand, and suddenly raised his left arm, lifting the body of the Roxagonal Army samurai directly and smashing it on the bodies of the two Roxagonal Army soldiers who rushed in. Asai Nagamasa did not hesitate, rushed forward and stabbed them twice, and the two of them were killed. As soon as the four samurai around him wanted to come over and besiege, the warriors of the Asai family around Asai Nagamasa immediately roared and came forward, and followed Asai Nagamasa madly to slash and slash, defeating the Hexagonal Army one after another.

"They're not afraid of death! Damn! The general cursed in a low voice. The samurai of the Hexagonal Army on the front line had suffered heavy casualties, nearly two percent of them had been killed in battle, and the troops had begun to waver. The Asai army on the opposite side obviously suffered 10% casualties, but it seemed that they were not affected at all, and the more they fought, the more courageous they became. In particular, Asai Nagamasa's struggle is simply a banner prepared by the eagle, inspiring everyone to fight.

"Asai-sama! I'll meet you! The general could not let the morale of the army fall again and again, and crowded to the front of the battle and shouted in a deep voice, trying to take advantage of the opponent's status as the governor of the family, and would not accept the challenge of riding alone, so as to laugh at the cowardice of the other party and maintain the morale of his own side.

"Your Excellency, please use your name! In Shimoi Nagamasa, accept your solo ride! Asai Nagamasa ordered the whole army to suspend the attack in a samurai style, gave way to a stone's throw, put the katana back into its scabbard, and raised his hand and asked.

"I... In Shimoyoshida Shigean! Yoshida Shigean was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't expect that there was really a rival between the other party's family governor and a general, and he didn't even take back the knife, so he hurriedly replied: "Please... Please advise! ”

"Quick, go call the archers!" Several generals behind him hurriedly wanted to organize archers to snipe Asai Nagamasa.

"Then please." Asai Nagamasa pulled the blood-stained katana out of its scabbard again, and for a moment blood splattered everywhere. He rushed forward with a sword step, and the waist was a horizontal slash, and Yoshida Shigean hurriedly stepped down to meet him, and the two katanas collided in the air, making a sharp sound of blades colliding. Both sides are holding their breath and wrestling between the blades. Although Yoshida Shigean was also a famous samurai of the Rokkaku family, so he was selected as the commander of the flag main team, but Asai Nagamasa's strength was superior, and gradually, Yoshida Shigean's katana was suppressed. Asai Nagamasa took advantage of the moment when the other party gritted his teeth and wanted to make the last effort, he suddenly pulled the knife sideways, Yoshida Shigean slashed into the air, and the katana slashed in front of Asai Nagamasa's cheek, and the wind that brought it up made Asai Nagamasa's cheeks hurt. He seized the opportunity, moved quickly, turned around, and elbowed Yoshida Shigeyasu's knife-holding arm with his left arm. Yoshida Shigean rushed to his elbow with a sharp pain, hurriedly retracted the knife and retreated, Asai Nagamasa followed up with a thrust, Yoshida Shigean was embarrassed to block the ground, but was slammed by Asai Nagamasa and picked the katana out. Then, Asai Nagamasa was a horizontal split, and in front of the two armies, he directly cut Yoshida Shigean's head out, and the blood spurting from his neck splashed several feet high.

Asai Nagamasa roared excitedly, waved his katana again, and shouted, "The enemy will be taken by me!" Offensive! ”

Seeing that his young master didn't mind the danger of the soldiers, and killed the opponent's general in two rounds, the Eagle Bei soldiers let out a heaven-shattering cheer, and rushed towards the Rokkagonal Samurai with Asai Nagamasa. And in this short period of time, the Hexagon family didn't even call up the bow and arrow. The morale of the Hexagonal Banner team was extremely low, and after a few hasty resistances, they retreated to the rear.

"It's so strong! Block them! Qingdi Bei hurried over, but what he saw was only the scene of the last reserve of this formation fleeing in disarray. They immediately rushed forward and attempted to flank Asai Nagamasa's flank.

"Put away the knife! The whole army - turn to the right! Asai Nagamasa had long been aware of the Qingdi Bei coming from the flank, but he still chose to forcibly defeat the hexagonal flag in front of him first, and then arrange for the whole army to turn around and deal with the 300 soldiers from the Qingdi family.

Qing Di Bei watched as he was still facing him sideways just now, only looking at the eagle in front of him who was not squinting, and all the knives were inserted back into the scabbard, and then they all turned to the ground, and as soon as they leaned on their legs, they stood facing themselves.

"Draw your sword!" Asai Nagamasa yelled again, "Attack! ”

Caught off guard, Aochi Bei Ashigaru was going to sneak attack the flank, but he was immediately attacked head-on by Taka Bei. After the two rows of pikemen in the front stabbed and stabbed to death a dozen eagle soldiers, the soldiers behind were undaunted and crashed into the forest of spears. The ashigaru men of Aoji had never seen such a desperate style of fighting, and they were immediately approached by the eagle who held the katana, and the useless spear was like a wooden stick when the katana was wielded. Several samurai on horseback and on foot were also left alone and were quickly besieged to death. A large number of green lands were cut down to the ground, and after holding out for less than a quarter of an hour, they fled in rout.

"Do the brains of the Qingdi family grow on their butts! Such a powerful flag team actually went to fight closely! Ikeda, who arrived next, scolded. They took advantage of the battle in Qingdi to prepare for the battle, came to the official road, took over the position of the hexagonal family flag, and blocked the route of the eagle preparation.

"Don't get close! Stabb with a spear! Commander Ikeda shouted, "Samurai be ready, stop one or two people as soon as they rush in!" We held out until reinforcements from Kondo-sama and Goto-sama arrived! ”

"All—turn left!" The eagle that had just finished the battle was once again spinning in unison.

"Look to the right - Qi!" "Forward—look!" After adjusting the formation, Asai Nagamasa once again urged the eagle to rush forward, and the self-righteous Ikeda Bei also held out for less than a quarter of an hour before it collapsed and fled in the direction of the flag in embarrassment.

But the hard work of these three teams bought time for this formation. Shinto Kenmori and Goto Kentoyo returned to the main camp with a total of 600 soldiers, including 200 archers. At this time, the occupation of the Roxagonal family in various places was due to the deployment of a large number of troops, so that they no longer had an advantage, and they could only maintain the balance of power.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid it's Asai Nagamasa's flag book, it's quite powerful!" Shinto Kenmori scolded fiercely.

"Don't fight them!" Rokkaku Yoshiken had just witnessed the rout of the three reserve teams in person. The people of the Asai family bumped into him like crazy people, and then they slashed desperately, and it seemed that their morale would not be affected by casualties at all, and the discipline and formation were always impeccable. Obviously, the team of 500 people had already suffered more than 100 casualties, but they still rushed towards the main formation with high morale.

"Archers! Get ready to shoot your arrows! Goto Kentoyo saw that the situation was urgent, and he didn't care about the courtesy, so he began to command in place of the lord. 200 archers crouched in the first row, stood in the second, and the third and fourth rows were in the back ready to throw.

"Put!" Goto Kentoyo gave an order, and the dense rain of arrows immediately fell into Asai Nagamasa's array. The first round of flat shots hit more than a dozen eagles in the thighs and throat and face, and as soon as they fell, the back row was immediately filled with more than a dozen people. The rain of arrows could not stop the advance of the eagle at all, and the team adjusted slightly, and rushed up at this point.

It was the second round of arrow rain, and this time nearly two dozen people fell, but Taka Bei hit him headlong under the urging of Asai Nagamasa, as if no one had suffered casualties at all. All the samurai ashigaru only subconsciously obeyed the order to fill the position and advance.

Goto Kentoyo and Shinto Kenmori hurriedly withdrew the archers back, and before they could finish it, Taka Bei had already killed. The ashigaru and samurai in the front row, each with bloodstains on their bodies, roared viciously and brandished their blood-stained katanas, and rushed forward. The momentum of the gods blocking and killing the gods and not being afraid of sacrifice really shocked the hexagonal army and foot light. They hastily resisted a few times, and many of their comrades in the front row were hacked to death with knives, and they were forced to retreat one after another, and fled to the southwest bridge with the defeated army behind the Hexagon family trying to regroup.
