"Ladies and gentlemen, the time has come to be loyal to the Lord!" Tuqi wiped the rain on his face fiercely, shook off the coat on his back, and the cold light flashed in his hand, and the saber that had been fighting with him for decades was already in the palm of his hand: "Kill with me!! ”

"Oh!!" Although the military strength of the Toki family is also frightened in the face of an enemy several times stronger than themselves, most of them are veterans who have been in battle for a long time, and many of them are relatives of each other, so they cooperate very tacitly. They don't know and won't know about the intrigues of the big guys, but they still know very well that their task is to hold this river beach and continuously expand the area so that the follow-up troops can go ashore, otherwise once there is not enough space to trample on each other, everything will be over.

Satomi Yoshiyao, who was in the rear, looked at the military strength of the Toki family who were fighting bloodily against the Tsukahara Molong army, and nodded with satisfaction: "Toki-sama really deserves to be the first fierce general of my Satomi family, now, Masaki-sama, as the second formation, you will immediately cross the river and support Toki-sama!" ”

"Hah!" Although he was very reluctant in his heart, Masaki Shimao could only nod and agree, otherwise he would have enough excuse to attack the Masaki family if he disobeyed before the battle. The Zhengmu family has a large number of troops, and this time Zhengmu Shimao led the army to fight with as many as 3,000 people, and with Zhengmu Shimao's order, the army immediately poured through the Black Dragon River like a tide.

Although Toki is very good at fighting, after all, he is facing an overwhelming enemy, so it is very difficult to fight. He once served under Ashikaga Yoshiaki together with Heiji, and Toki was even able to block an arrow for Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and the two had a good relationship, even if the Ashikaga family perished, the two sides often exchanged letters. Before the war, Heiji wrote a letter to Toki Yoriri, hoping that he would be able to return to the Ashikaga family, but Toki Yoriri refused. In his eyes, although Satomi Yoshiyao is a traitor of Ashikaga Yoshiaki, he is kind to the Toki family, and for so many years, Toki has also fought everywhere for Satomi Yoshiyao, and has made great achievements, so he can't bear to leave. And Tsukahara Moryo is not Ashikaga Yoshiaki's eldest son after all, so Toki is not willing to serve Tsukahara Molong like this.

At that time, Toki was a fierce general with great bravery, but since the first battle of Kokufutai, after the death of Ashikaga Yoshiaki, Heiji has been raising Tsukahara Molong in the dojo of Kashima no Machi, and Toki has never stopped fighting, so the duel again, although Heiji has a huge advantage in troops, but in terms of command, it is still much inferior to Toki for Rai.

Akita family also served under Ashikaga Yoshiaki when he was young, and later almost all the elite of the Akita family died with Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and only a few survived. On the contrary, it is Tsukahara Nagakei, who was born in the Ogasawara family, that has the highest command level, and it seems that the Ogasawara family has made great efforts to improve the military literacy of the clansmen, but compared with Toki Rai, it is still inferior.

In addition, most of the people who came this time were ordinary peasant soldiers, and most of the grassroots commanders were not samurai with military education, but dojo disciples, so the 7,000 army directly pressed up, but in a short period of time, there were no 1,500 people who could not be relied on by Toki. After Masaki Shigeru led 3,000 troops to join the battle, the 7,000 army under the command of Tsukahara Molong was simply beaten and retreated.

Satomi Yoshiyao stared at the battlefield tightly, not letting go of every detail, and only after a long time did he speak: "Everyone says that Tsukahara Molong is very good at fighting, but when I saw it today, it was nothing more than that. Order, the whole army crosses the river! "The tens of thousands of main forces of the Satomi family began to swim slowly towards the opposite shore like a coiling dragon. Although the rain showed no signs of abating, the river was not very turbulent, so many of the Satomi family's ashigaru used their spears as crutches to support themselves in the river step by step.

"Molong, fight like this...... Not really. Seeing that the battle situation was unfavorable, Sasaki Nagahide hurriedly said to Tsukahara Molong: "Why don't I lead the cavalry to rush and kill for a while?" ”

Tsukahara Molong waved his hand: "No need. Just now I was trying to see how well my command is, but now that I know what kind of command skills I have, let's withdraw it. ”

"What?" Sasaki Nagahide's pupils shrank suddenly, almost thinking that he had heard it wrong, right now the main force of the Satomi family is crossing the river, and it is a good time to attack half-crossing, instead of increasing the intensity of the attack, but letting the other party go ashore? All to see what the retainers are capable of?

Tsukahara Molong shook the armor on his body, shook off some of the stagnant water, and took a deep breath, "Order, Tsukahara Nagakei led the army to retreat, and put the army of Zhengmu Shigeru to the front line!" ”

"Hah!"

"Order, Pingji led the army into echelons, alternately covering and retreating!"

"Hah!"

"Order, Akita Ieji led the army to the army under the command of Toki for Lai to charge two more formations, and then retreat!"

"Hah!"

With the issuance of the three orders, Tsukahara Nagakei took the lead in disengaging with the Toki army, and the already exhausted Toki family's army naturally had no strength to pursue, and the army of Masaki Toshigeru in the rear rushed up to fill the gap. After perceiving the intention of the army under the command of Tsukahara Moryū to retreat, Toki immediately organized a counterattack, but was divided into three groups by General Heiji, alternately covering the retreat, Toki was careless, but almost fell into the encirclement, fortunately, the rear army support was timely, otherwise it is estimated that the military movement would end on the spot. Akita Ieji led the army to advance instead of retreating, and launched several more attacks on the Toki family's army, so that the Toki family's army, which had been freed up from the middle lane, began to gather on the flank, and the main force of the Satomi family took the position of the middle road. After a few battles, Akita Ieji led the army to retreat while fighting, but fortunately, Toki had done his best to fight against Tsukahara Molong's 7,000 army before Toki was retained, and now Akita Ieji can't be kept at all.

Tsukahara Moryū saw that the army of the Satomi family began to line up according to his own arrangement, and showed a smug smile, but his gaze at the Masaki family was a little cold: just now was the best time for the Masaki family to make trouble, Satomi Yoshiyao's main force was crossing the river, and it was difficult to assemble, and Masaki Shigeru and the army under his command were flanked by each other, and it was likely to end the battle directly, but the Masaki family did not move. Zhengmu Shimao's intention is very obvious, it is nothing more than to sit back and watch himself and Satomi Yoshiyao fight for both defeats, so as to sit back and reap the benefits. However, it is precisely because of these little ninety-nine that Masaki Shigeru did not lead the army to pursue desperately like Toki Weilai, but gently let go of the retreating Tsukahara Nagakei army.

"Molong, if you don't fight again, the Satomi family will be completely established!" Sasaki Nagahide said anxiously. As he spoke, Satomi Yoshiyao again dispatched two thousand troops under the command of Toki to strengthen the flanks.

"Yes, the Satomi family is about to gain a foothold." Tsukahara Molong is still so easy-going: "Order, all armies hold their positions to the death, let Tsukahara Changqing transfer 500 people to join the middle army, and return to the command of Pingci." ”

"Hah!"

Sasaki Nagahide's face was worried again: "Molong, at the moment, our army only has a slight advantage over Lord Changqing, and we can't ...... all of them."

"Don't worry," Tsukahara Moryū looked at Sasaki Nagahide with a smile: "Nagahide, go and prepare, you will need to make a move soon." ”

"Oh." Although Nagahide Sasaki, who received the order, was worried, he still chose to obey.

In the main camp of the Satomi army, Satomi Yoshiyao was also observing the dispatch of the army under the command of Tsukahara Moryū, when he found that the troops opposite Masaki Shigeru were very weak and Masaki Shigeru was still tepid, his eyes flashed a cold light, but after all, it was on the battlefield, and Satomi Yoshiyao was not good at attacking Masaki Shigeru, so he had to order the army at the junction with the Masaki Army to strengthen its vigilance, and he could not relax his vigilance against Masaki Shigeru at all. Even the secret contact between Masaki Shigeru and Kato Duanzo, he has heard of it, although he doesn't know if the two sides have reached some kind of tacit understanding, but it is better to be careful, especially in this extraordinary period, let alone indulge these guys who may rebel.
