Chapter 178: Broken Horned Bull (Part II)

Burning Sky caught a glimpse of Tomita Shigemasa's small sword slashing downward, and hurriedly dodged and retreated. The blade in the hand of the simple Tomita Shigemasa is a small sword, and the burning sky dodges backwards just enough to barely dodge. It's just that Burning Sky suddenly felt a shock to his head, and then saw half of the horn of his horn head pocket fall in front of him.

Shigemasa Tomita misses the blow and immediately retreats to distance himself from the sky. Burning Sky also took the opportunity to stand still, throwing the naginata knife in his hand to the ground. His right hand was also quickly placed on the small knife on his waist, and he responded to Tomita Shigemasa in a Iwai style.

Seeing this, Tomita Shigemasa didn't dare to slack off, and kept changing the knife moves with the small knife in his hand, wanting to confuse the incineration. The two stared at each other's steps in the space where everyone was facing each other, and their feet were the first, no matter how superb their body skills were, they still had to rely on the constant change of their feet to be able to show it.

After the confronting of Burning Sky and Tomita Shigemasa for a while, Tomita Shigemasa attacked the Burning Sky first, and Burning Sky also concentrated on observing Tomita Shigemasa's footsteps when he saw this. After two breaths, the small knives in the hands of the two collided together, and everyone around them only heard the sound of "Duang", and then two disciples of the Sect fell to the ground in response.

After the small knife in his hand was broken, Shigemasa Tomita immediately pulled out the other small knife on his waist and slashed towards the burning sky. Seeing this, Burning Sky waved the broken knife in his hand to block Tomita Shigemasa's blow, and smashed Tomita Shigemasa into the cheek with a punch. Tomita Shigemasa's cheek was instantly deformed by the Burning Sky blow, and the Burning Sky also took advantage of the moment when Tomita Shigemasa lost some of his vision and jumped out of Tomita Shigemasa's attack range.

Shigemasa Tomita, who was hit in the face, immediately ripped off the cheeks on his face, and looked at the burning sky that had distanced himself from him, and the small sword in his hand instantly turned into a defensive move. Burning Sky took the opportunity to shout: "The knife is coming!" After saying that, Fuyu Meijiro threw the sword that had been prepared into the sky and burned it. Seeing this, Tomita Shigemasa let out a loud sigh, and changed his defense to attack and burned the sky. As soon as he got the sword, he saw Tomita Shigemasa killing him, and in an instant, he put on a living pose.

The two collided together again in an instant, and with the help of the length of the Taidao and his own strength, the Burning Sky kept suppressing the small Taidao of Tomita Shigemasa. Tomita Shigemasa's Kotai Dao already attaches great importance to close-quarters attacks, and his sword skills are mostly hand-to-hand combat skills. As a result, Shigemasa Tomita could only hold the knife tightly with both hands to resist the slash of the burning sky.

After resisting several powerful attacks from the Burning Sky, Shigemasa Tomita quickly broke away from the attack range of the Burning Sky. Shigemasa Tomita glanced down at his right arm, which was already trembling a little, and then stared at the burning sky in front of him. Burning Sky also looked at Tomita Shigemasa who had taken off his cheek, and found that Tomita Shigemasa was quite familiar, but for a while he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

Seeing that his disciple and son-in-law were on par with the Burning Sky, and finding that the army behind the Burning Sky was gradually gathering, he realized that he had fallen into the delaying tactic of the Burning Sky, so he shouted to his samurai: "They are stalling for time, attack them quickly!" ”

As soon as Tomita Keimasa's voice fell, the surrounding Asakura samurai shouted and rushed towards the Burning Sky and the others, and the monks and soldiers also chanted the Buddha's name to kill the Burning Sky. Seeing that his plan had been seen through, Burning Sky shouted, "Let's go too!" With that, he held the sword in his hand and rushed towards Tomita Shigemasa, and Fushiwa Akijiro and others also rushed up when they saw this.

When Tomita Shigemasa noticed the change in the situation, he immediately retreated, but when he saw the burning sky rushing towards him, he said to the samurai behind him: "Capture the thief and capture the king first!" Take Mt. Hiei and burn it! With that, the samurai behind Tomita Shigemasa held his spear and stabbed towards the burning air. Burning Sky barely swung his knife away from the spear that was stabbing at him, and immediately retreated to the rear while they were using their strength.

Asakura Yoshikage watched the battle break out again on the left flank, and asked Asakura Jingjian beside him, "Jingjian, who is the general of the Oda Army?" How can he be so brave, even Rokuzaemon can't easily win him. After listening to Asakura Yoshikage's words, Asakura Keiken glanced at the Asakura Jingjing on the side, and then said to Asakura Yoshikage: "This person should be the new brave general of the Oda family, Mt. Hiei, who burned the sky and entered the road!" ”

"Is this the person who will capture Momoyama Castle overnight and return to Nanjo Terukei and Toda Yojiro?" Asakura Yoshikage was obviously a little resentful of the name of the Burning Sky, and after saying it with a grudge, Asakura Yoshikage said to the Asakura Jingjing on the side: "Jingjing, you go and ask for the head of this person who burned the Mt. Hiei to enter the Dao, and I will hang his head on Fuzhong City!" ”

After listening to Asakura Yoshikage's words, Asakura Jingjing bowed his head and said to Asakura Yoshikage: "My lord, although the army of the Takenaka Half-Guards is scattered, it has fled into the mountains before Toetsu, so we'd better be on guard..."

"Jingjing, I want you to ask for the head of the Hiei Mountain! Did you hear that? Asakura Jingjing directly interrupted Asakura Jingjing's words, and loudly scolded Asakura Jingjing.

Asakura Jingjing listened to Asakura Yoshijing's scolding, and immediately knelt down and said: "I understand, please rest assured!" Immediately, Chaocang Jingjing rushed to the left flank with three hundred troops.

Asakura Yoshikage looked at the departing Asakura Jingjing and said with a smile: "After defeating the Oda army, the family will establish the Yawata Great Shrine here, and thank the Hachiman Great God for helping me defeat the Oda army." After hearing this, the surrounding retainers of the Asakura family also echoed their own lords.

At this time, the Mino army under Shibata Katsuya was also suppressed by the combined forces of the Ichisho Sect and the Asakura army, and the disciples of the Ichijo sect in the former army of South Vietnam were finally unable to be suppressed by Nanjo Terukei and others, and fled in large numbers in the direction of the front of South Vietnam.

Nanjo Terukei and others saw that the general trend of the Oda army had gone, and they saw that the troops under them had fled five or six, and naturally lost the courage to fight in their hearts. At this time, Nanjo Terukei made eye contact with Toda and Jiro beside him, and then led his troops to flee from the battlefield where the two armies were fighting.

The escape of Nanjo Terukei and others obviously also affected the strength of Shibata Katsuie's Mino army, which was already at a disadvantage, and after this blow to morale, the disadvantage became even more obvious. In a short time, the combined forces of Ichimune and Asakura forced the forces under Shibata Katsuya to the limit of collapse.

Shibata Katsuie, who discovered that Nanjo Terukei had escaped, stabbed to death the attacking disciples of the Ichijo sect, and then shouted at the attendants beside him, "It's time to be loyal to His Highness Nobunaga!" Fight to the death, and do not retreat! Shibata Katsuya yelled and picked up the Asakura samurai in front of him, and then threw the screaming Asakura samurai to the ground. When the attendants heard Shibata Katsuie's roar, they also shouted, "Be loyal!" Then he pounced on the allied forces of Ichimune and Asakura, who were rushing towards him.

The pressure of the burning sky in the midst of the enemy army is also becoming more and more stressed, the exhaustion of his body, the pain of the wound in his chest, and the suppression of his own army by the elite samurai of Asakura and the monks of the Ichikomune. The indomitable Burning Sky and the others were blocked not far from the main camp of the Ichijo Sect and Asakura coalition forces. The surrounding subordinates died one after another, which made the burning sky feel powerless.

At this time, Asakura Yoshikage, who was watching the battle in this formation, laughed and said, "This is the end of the martial arts of the broken horned bull!" ”
