Chapter 177: Broken Horn Bull (I)
Shibata Katsuie is desperately resisting the attack of the Asakura army and the Ichimune army. Although the former wealthy clans of Nanyue such as Minami Tetsukei and Toda Yojiro were not followers of the Ichijo sect, more than half of the followers of the Ichijo sect among the ashigaru and low-level samurai were believers. If the officials of the Yizong sect are bewitching a few words, I am afraid that these former wealthy families of South Vietnam will also be killed by their subordinates.
The fact that the pre-South Vietnamese Hao clan did not retreat or attack is perhaps the best-case scenario today.
The Niwa Nagahide army formation was obviously unable to resist the offensive of the Asakura army, and even the close attendants around Niwa Nagahide were about to be scattered by the Asakura army, not to mention those ordinary samurai and ashigaru. When the Asakura army saw the papaya-patterned military flag and the gorgeous clothes and armor of Niwa Nagahide under the banner of the two direct disobedience troops, they rushed madly towards Niwa Nagahide under the two military flags. In the eyes of the Asakura samurai, Niwa Nagahide was not just an enemy general, but a shortcut to fame.
Niwa Nagahide's attendants desperately escorted Niwa Nagahide to retreat backwards, but the entire Niwa Nagahide army was scattered, and there were people pushing people everywhere, so it could retreat so quickly. As a result, Niwa Nagahide was escorted by the guards for some distance, and the scattered samurai and ashigaru blocked the way for the retreat, and the Asakura army was able to take the opportunity to chase and kill. When the commanders of the army have begun to retreat, you still expect ordinary samurai and ashigaru to desperately resist the enemy army and let you escape?
At this time, the former Po Ji Ji, who was originally a reserve, had already run away with his peasant soldiers who were not disciples of the sect, and the right Ichisuke lured more than 30 peasant soldiers to follow him with heavy money and merit when the persuasion of the former Po Ji Ji was ineffective. However, in front of the rout, the right side helped more than 30 people, and they had to retreat to the side to hide.
Right Ichisuke, who was dodging the rout, saw Niwa Nagahide who was still carrying the papaya-patterned military flag and the Nihon-Nagahide under the banner of the Naka-patterned army. At this time, Niwa Nagahide and the few remaining attendants were being frantically pursued by the Asakura army, and Right Ichisuke hesitated for a moment and then rushed up with his peasant soldiers.
Niwa Nagahide, who was entangled with the samurai of the Asakura family, suddenly found that the samurai in front of him had fallen to the ground. When he looked up, he saw that it was the attendant beside Burning Sky, so he said to Right Ichisuke: "Quickly escort me to retreat!" Right Ichisuke nodded, then turned around and slashed down the two flags that Niwa Nagahide and his attendants had been carrying. Seeing this, Niwa Nagahide's eyes suddenly cracked, and he was about to draw his sword and slash at the right Ichisuke.
The right Ichisuke used the shaft of the naginata to pry away Niwa Nagahide's sword, and stabbed to death the Asakura samurai who attacked him with his backhand, and then yelled at Niwa Nagahide: "Niwa-sama, if you can't get rid of your false name, no one can save you!" β
After that, the right Ichisuke and Niwa Nagahide's close attendants escorted the imposing Niwa Nagahide to retreat backwards, and as for the peasant soldiers who followed the right Ichisuke After rescuing Niwa Nagahide, there were less than twenty people left who were still following the right Ichisuke.
However, it was said that the Burning Air Force Formation was fighting against the forces of Ichizo and Asakura, and he did not know that the Niwa Nagahide Army had collapsed. Now there is only one thought in the heart of the burning hollow, which is to defeat the Asakura army, not only so that he can continue to live in this world, but also to marry Fushiwa Akijiro, Suzuki Heavy Industries, who gave up his faith after him, and others, as well as the few relatives in his world.
"Ah~~~" Wearing a black lacquered horn pocket, the burning sky charged towards a wild bull in the strength of the Yixiang Sect's army, and everywhere he passed was a bloodstain. Even more terrifying was the Fushiwa Akijiro who was holding a sword, and at this time Fushiwa Akijiro had left a path made of blood behind him. Suzuki Heavy Industries and others cooperated with each other, completely relying on martial arts to suppress these sect disciples. Even the Burning Air Force Formation Ashigaru could easily defeat several disciples of the Ichijo Sect.
At this time, both the official under the banner of the Tsukozong and the general Asakura under the banner of the Mimori papaya pattern all noticed the momentum of the Oda army that was constantly advancing towards his own camp on his left flank. The Zongfang official looked at his disciples like papier-mΓ’chΓ© in front of this Oda army, so he said to the monks under his command: "The Oda demon forces on the left wing are attacking too fiercely, you wait for 200 people to go and support the disciples!" β
Seeing this, Asakura Yoshikage was about to thank Qili Laichun, but he heard Asakura Jingjian and Asakura Jingjing on the side whisper: "Lord, we also need to send some samurai to support the left wing!" Asakura Yoshikage listened to the words of the two, and immediately said to Tomita Keimasa, who was guarding beside him: "Keimasa, you also take two hundred horsemen to support the left flank!" With that, Asakura Yoshijing bowed his head to Qili Laichun on the side.
Burning Sky, who was charging towards Asakura and the Zong Honjin formation, suddenly felt some retreat of the enemy in front of him. Before the burning sky could be clearly observed, more than 100 monks and soldiers wearing Amitabha Buddha feet appeared in front of the burning sky with a naginata knife in hand.
Seeing this, Burning Sky immediately shouted; "Things have changed!" Hearing this, Fushiwa Akijiro and the others quickly returned to the area around the incineration. Burning Sky turned around and found that he was a little protruding, causing many samurai and ashigaru to still be entangled with the disciples of the Ichijo sect in the back.
Seeing this, he immediately shouted to the front: "I am the Oda family's Hiei Mountain Mingshamen Burning Sky Entering the Road, who dares to ride with me!" β
As soon as the words of the burning sky came out, the pot immediately exploded around, although the name already has a strong provocative meaning, but the person who called this name is more worthy of attention. Last year, the first brave general of the Asai family, Isono Honmasa, was defeated at the hands of this person, and some people even say that he rescued the captured Tokugawa Ieyasu from the Takeda army.
The monks and soldiers are not stupid, and no one would want to provoke such a fierce general. So Burning Sky and dozens of people under his command confronted two hundred monks and soldiers, and no one wanted to take the lead in attacking. The monks and soldiers have sent someone to report the situation to Qili Lai Chun and ask for more assistance. The burning sky was waiting behind him to get rid of the subordinate samurai and ashigaru who had always been followed by the sect's disciples.
At this time, all of them arrived at the battlefield with two hundred Asakura Yoshikage attendants carrying the Asakura Sansheng papaya pattern. Seeing this, Burning Sky secretly said that it was not good in his heart, and then resorted to the plan of delaying the registration again. However, this time, when the name of the Burning Sky was announced, a samurai with cheeks (that is, face armor) came out of the group of close attendants, and said to the Burning Sky: "The Asakura family Tomita Rokuzaemon is re-employed, and I want you to fight!" β
After saying that, Tomita Shigemasa held the small knife at his waist and walked in front of the Burning Sky, and Fushiwa Akijiro quickly whispered in the Burning Sky ear when he saw this: "Be careful, my lord, this person is a Nakajo Ryomon person!" β
Hearing this, the burning sky nodded, this Tomita Shigemasa personally sent Sukeemon to find and investigate, I thought that I could take it for my own use before and after pacifying the Echi, but I didn't expect to meet on the battlefield today.
After Tomita Shigemasa walked not far in front of him, he also took a few steps forward, picked up the naginata knife on the ground casually, and said to Tomita Shigemasa: "Let me teach you some swordsmanship of Nakatiao-ryu!" As soon as the words fell, both of them began to move.
Burning Sky slashed at Tomita Shigemasa with a naginata, and Tomita Shigemasa immediately swung a small knife to resist the blow, but the strength of Burning Sky was far beyond Tomita Shigemasa's expectations. After resisting the blow of the burning sky, Tomita Shigemasa immediately approached the burning air, and the little sword was still able to exert its greatest power in close melee combat after all.
Burning Sky naturally understood Tomita Shigemasa's intentions, and immediately swept towards Tomita Shigemasa's lower plate with the blade, intending to block Tomita Shigemasa's way. Tomita Shigemasa saw that the burning sky made a move, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and the small tai knife in his hand quickly slashed from the bottom to the top, and cut off the blade that the burning sky swept towards him, and then danced the small tai knife in the air, adjusted the direction and cut it towards the head of the burning sky.
