When the high-ranking samurai heard the provocation of the burning sky, he rushed to the burning sky in front of the burning sky with the sword in his hand and fought with the burning sky, and when the burning sky saw this, he also threw the naginata knife in his hand to the standing reserve behind him, pulled out the imperial sword at his waist and rushed towards the senior samurai. The samurai looked at the rushing Burning Sky and ran and shouted, "Asakura family Tomita Yarokuro Nagashi! ”

As he spoke, the two were already intertwined, and the two sharp knives slashed together in an instant. After missing the blow, both of them quickly separated, and the eyes of the burning sky were fixed on Tomita Nagashi. Then the Burning Sky slashed upwards with a strong step, slashing from the top left to the bottom right, Tomita Nagashige blocked the blow of the Burning Sky with a sword, and broke into the lower body of the Burning Sky from the left side. Burning Sky noticed that Tomita was bullying, and hurriedly dodged to the side.

Tomita Nagahiro grabbed the gap where the burning sky dodged, and threw the Taidao out directly, and the burning sky looked at the flying Taidao, and could only wave the Taidao in his hand to knock it away. However, just as the Burning Sky struck away the flying Tai Knife, Tomita Nagahiro pulled out the ribs around his waist and stabbed directly at the Burning Sky in the chest. At this time, the Taidao was already difficult to recover, so he had to throw the Taidao and the flying Taidao out with his strength, and at the same time quickly dodge the ribs from Tomita Nagashiga's stab.

After seeing that the burning sky had dodged his killing move again, Tomita Nagashi threw the rib difference in his hand on the ground and said to the burning sky: "I have no strength, take my head and get famous!" After Mingshan and the people who were watching the battle heard this, he immediately went up to surround Tomita Changfan, and then he found that Tomita Changfan did have a few knife marks on his body, so he waved his hand at Mingshan and signaled them to retreat.

Then Burning Sky said to Mingshan: "Tie him up and bring him back to the camp!" Tomita Nagashige, who had given up resistance, immediately said to Burning Sky when he heard these words: "Please let me die like a samurai!" After listening to Tomita Nagashi's words, the burning sky who picked up his sword looked at the sword that had a gap in his blade and said: "Tomita Yaroku, I think you might as well take refuge in my lord, with your martial arts and talents, you will definitely be treated better than the Asakura family, isn't Mitsuhide Akechi the best example?" ”

After listening to the words of the burning sky, Tomita Nagashi fell into a short contemplation, and then avoided the naginata and spear of Mingshan and the others, came to the burning sky and said: "Since this is the case, then I will return to Oda, and I hope that you will introduce it to Lord Oda on your behalf!" After hearing this, Burning Sky smiled and said to Tomita Changfan: "Now Lord Tomita has another opportunity to make meritorious contributions, I wonder if the adults are willing to cooperate with the family?" ”

After a few rounds of firing, the sharp rise in temperature of the barrel of the cannon barrel was no longer able to support its firing of shells. Kinoshita Hideyoshi, after reading the banner of the Takenaka Hanbei, gave the order to his subordinates to attack in an all-out way. At this time, the Ninomaru of Kotani Castle had been bombarded by the big team, and the Oda army attacked it effortlessly, and Asai Nagamasa looked at the Asai samurai and Ashigaru who were killed and wounded by cannonballs everywhere, and shouted: "The great god of Hachiman wants to kill my Asai!" ”

Seeing this, Asai Nagamasa's left and right attendants supported Asai Nagamasa, and fled back to Honmaru in Otani Castle under the pursuit of the Oda army. At this time, Mae-Hakishi was also under Otani Castle to meet with Kinoshita Hideyoshi, who was commanding the Oda army's attack, and after learning that Mae-Hakishi had succeeded in luring the Asakura army into Sakuma Nobumori's ambush, Kinoshita Hideyoshi promised Mae-Hakichi a series of rewards for defeating the Echizen Asakura family.

At this time, the battle on the side of the burning sky also gradually ended with Tomita Nagashige's persuasion to surrender, and the remaining more than 1,000 Asakura troops surrendered to the Oda army one after another. And these surrendered Asakura troops seized all their weapons according to the previous agreement, and only put these people back. Although there was no equipment, the Asakura army, who was able to save his life, was still very grateful to Tomita Nagashige who came forward to negotiate with the Oda army.

Looking at the group of Asakura troops fleeing towards Echizen, Burning Sky said to Oda Nobutada: "These people are the first offensive of the family to attack the Echizen Asakura family, and the young master has made a great contribution now!" ”

After hearing this, Oda Nobutada said with a smile on the horse: "Among them, I will not swallow your merits, and Tomita Yaroku, I will also recommend on my behalf, you have recruited a strong general for your family, and you have broken up the remnants of the Asakura army without blood, and your merits are among the best in this battle." ”

At this time, Sakuma Nobumori also hit his horse and came to Oda Nobutada, dismounted and half-knelt down to Oda Nobutada, and said: "Congratulations to the young master for winning this battle, recruiting the enemy general, and using it to persuade the Asakura army to surrender, not only to reduce the damage of the family, but also to improve the reputation of the family, not to lose the son of the lord, our young master!" ”

After listening to Sakuma Nobumori's words, Oda Nobutada also seemed a little fluttering, and pointed at Sakuma Nobumori with a horsewhip on his horse and asked, "Now should I return to my father's main camp or go to support Hideyoshi's siege?" After listening to Oda Nobutada's words, Sakuma Nobumori said to Oda Nobutada: "Young master, we can leave half of the army to garrison Otani, and the rest will go to the main battle with the young master and me. ”

So the people put their names next to the severed heads to prove their ownership of the heads. The burning sky is the head of the low-level samurai Asakura that Ariakiyama carried and killed by himself, and Akiyama himself hung the head of a ashigaru who was stabbed to death with his own hands on his waist, and followed the burning sky and others swaggering closer to Oda Nobunaga's main camp.

Because Ma Hui, who had reported the victory, reported the news of the rout of the Asakura army to Oda Nobunaga early, Oda Nobunaga got up and covered the sun with a folding fan, looked at the Oda army who had already occupied Otani Castle Nimaru and Sanmaru and said, "Pass the order, let the monkeys stop attacking, and let him come to see me!" Then Oda Nobunaga said to the camp and the generals who had not been able to come out of battle, "Let's go and see how Nobumori is doing." With that, he led everyone out of the main camp, and under the escort of the mother's clothes and Ma Hui, he came to the outside of the main camp and waited for the arrival of Sakuma Nobumori.

Soon after, Nobumori Sakuma and Oda Nobutada appeared in Oda Nobunaga's field of vision, and then the samurai and ashigaru covered in dirt and blood came into his eyes. When Oda Nobutada and Sakuma Nobumori saw Oda Nobunaga waiting for him outside the main camp, they immediately dismounted and handed over the war horse to their men, walked quickly to Oda Nobunaga and half-knelt in front of him, and said: "Lord (father), we will not fail in our mission to defeat the Asakura army!" ”

After hearing this, Oda Nobunaga said to Sakuma Nobumori, "Nobumori doesn't need to be polite, get up and speak." The samurai Ashigaru who came later also half-knelt in front of Oda Nobunaga, and Oda Nobunaga laughed when he saw this, and said, "You and others are all heroes of the family, Shuichi, and the first level of the survey will be handed over to you." When Oda Nobunaga heard this, Hasegawa Shuyi immediately stepped forward and said to the people who were carrying the head: "Follow me to survey the head!" ”

After everyone heard Hasegawa Shuichi's words, they all walked in the direction where Hasegawa Shuichi was. At this time, Oda Nobutada was still half-kneeling on the ground, and Burning Sky and the others did not dare to leave the first level of the survey easily, and then stood behind Oda Nobutada. Sakuma Nobumori also found Oda Nobutada, who was still half-kneeling, so he glanced at Oda Nobunaga, but found that Oda Nobunaga didn't look at Oda Nobutada at all.

Oda Nobunaga walked up to Sakuma Nobumori and asked Sakuma Nobumori, "Nobumori, who is responsible for this battle?" After hearing this, Sakuma Nobumori bowed his head and said to Oda Nobunaga: "This battle should be a young master!" After hearing this, Oda Nobutada, who was half-kneeling, lowered his head and said: "The first merit of this battle belongs to Lord Shinmori, and the second merit belongs to Mingshamen, and I can only get a small merit." ”

After hearing this, Oda Nobunaga walked up to Oda Nobutada, half-squatted and said, "What credit do you have?" After hearing this, Oda Nobutada bowed his head and said: "Erchen killed the Echizen Asakura family and then Poji Sansaki!" The head is now in the saddle of the retainer's saddle. After listening to Oda Nobutada's words, Oda Nobunaga got up and said to Oda Nobutada: "I just heard that Ma Hui reported that you recruited the Asakura Fierce General Tomita Nagashi, but is this the case?" ”

After hearing this, Oda Nobutada turned his head to the burning sky and said, "Quickly introduce Tomita Yaroku to my father!" ”
