Chapter 223: Fierce Battle Toyodahara

"Since the Fujiwara Town Palace wants reinforcements from my family, why don't you accompany me to learn swordsmanship?" Qianxin put away Xiaodou Changguang first, and then threw a wooden knife in front of Chaoding.

"Why?!" Chao Ding was stunned after hearing this, what kind of thing is this! Or is Humility planning to change the subject? However, he knows almost nothing about swordsmanship, and if he directly refuses the invitation of Qianxin, he will not give the other party. If you accept the invitation, you are likely to be half-trained.

"What are you doing in a daze?! I didn't hesitate at all when I heard that His Royal Highness Fujiwara Town Mansion ordered the burning of the stone and the slaughter of the disciples of the stone and the mountain! Why did you hesitate when you heard about swordsmanship? Qianxin glared at Chao Ding dissatisfied.

"The swordsmanship of the humble prince is superb, and he has also been praised by the Beijing Gongfang Palace, and he has consulted with the Sword Saint Tsukahara Palace. If you fight someone like your subordinates who are not proficient in swordsmanship, I am afraid that your reputation will be damaged! Chao Ding slowly picked up the wooden knife, and at the same time wanted to use the 'mouth escape' to ask for mercy from his subordinates.

"It's okay, aren't you and me the only ones in this courtyard? Rest assured, no third person will know. Qianxin laughed very 'ill-willed'.

"Your swordsmanship is superb, and your subordinates don't think you're your opponent for a round, so forget it······" Chao Ding vaguely felt a sense of foreboding.

"What? The Fujiwara Town Palace, which is famous in the eastern country, is not even proficient in swordsmanship, isn't it going to be laughed at by the daimyo of other countries? "Humility is iron-hearted, and you have to learn from the court.

Just when Chao Ding was still thinking about how to answer Qianxin, the other party had already rushed towards him with a wooden knife······ About two hours later, Ikeda and Nagano were ushered into the courtyard by Honjo Hidekage. Ikeda and Nagano had come to remind the court that it was time for lunch, but as they walked into the corridor by the side of the courtyard, they were shocked by what they saw.

I saw Chao Ding lying on the ground motionless, which was very scary. On the other hand, Kenshin was wiping a bloody wooden knife with a towel.

"Lord?! Are you alright? Ikeda Morishu immediately reacted, pulled Nagano Yemori and ran to Asada's side and asked. And Honjo Hidekei, who came with the two of them, stood in the corridor in a daze, unable to react.

"Misasuke, what's wrong?" Kenshin put the wooden knife down and turned to Honjo Hidekyo and asked.

"Report to the Imperial Palace, Suemori Castle's Tohi Tajima Mamori has been defeated by Kurokawa Suruga Mori and others, and the clan Lang Party has been slaughtered. Previously, Tohi Tajima Mamoru had asked to surrender, but was unanimously rejected by Kurokawa Suruga Moriden and others. Honjo immediately recovered and reported the latest information he had received.

"Is it true that the soil is fertile but the horse guards the family? It's not a pity to die. He wanted to say something after Qianxin, but the words stopped when he came to his lips. She originally wanted Honjo Hidejing to prepare a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone to write a letter to Kurokawa Kiyomi and others, but after thinking about what Tohiko really did, she gave up.

Before, Kenshin was the least fond of attacking the local countrymen. As long as the opponent is willing to submit, then the opponent can continue to block the skill. Even if you rebel repeatedly, as long as you have remorse, forgiveness is not impossible. For example, the Jiboya family and Shiina family in Echichu, as well as the Hojo Takahiro family in Echigo, Honjo Shirancho and so on.

"Help me up······" At this time, Asada was very difficult to support the ground with his hands, he wanted to get up by himself but couldn't, so he could only let the two people around him, Ikeda Morishu and Nagano Yesu, help him up.

"My lord, how could you be? Is there an assassin in this Toyama Castle? Nagano asked without knowing the truth. He didn't understand who had the guts to fight the Uesugi family like this on the territory of the Uesugi family.

"I'm fine, it's just that I'm not as good as others." After being helped up by Ikeda Morishu and Nagano Yesu, Asada slowly walked in front of Kenshin, "I hope that Kenshin Gong can quickly send reinforcements into Noto, even if it is a 1,2000 army, it is good." If you don't have the ability to send reinforcements, it's good to send some grain and grass to carry the weight, please! ”

“······” Kenshin didn't answer him immediately after glancing at the disgraced Asada, but just quietly watched as Asada was taken out by Ikeda Morishu and Nagano Yoshimori.

"Miya Xingden, are you ready to send troops? Or are you going to transport grain and grass baggage? Honjo asked softly.

"Let Omi Mamoru lead the acting officials and the lords of the countrymen to go, and the number cannot be higher than three thousand. You are responsible for the weight of the grain and grass. Qianxin waited until the figure of Chaoding disappeared before speaking.

"Yes!"

On the other hand, in the Toyodahara region of Noto, a fierce battle continues.

Previously, there was confusion due to Yasuda Keimoto's headquarters not having time to deal with the surprise attack of the long army. As a result, the right-wing Nagao Fujikei Department was also affected.

However, as Nagayo led his army to break into the formation of the 1,800 Uesugi army in front of him and start a melee with the Uesugi army, the momentum suddenly disappeared. When he turned to look at the rear, he found out the reason - the Uesugi army in the rear began to move.

"Tell the rear guard of Shanjidan, and our department will launch a surprise attack first. The enemy forces have already been engaged in a scuffle with Mamoru Nagao Toe and Mamoru Yasuda Echichu, and it is necessary to stop the enemy's offensive momentum at this moment! After explaining to a close samurai, Hiroto Biwajima led more than 20 samurai on horseback to break into the tail of the long army and start a melee.

When Hiroto Biwajima saw that the situation on the battlefield was unfavorable to his side, he did not wait for the Yamayoshi Toyoshi garrison to lead his headquarters with a thousand troops to break into the rear of the Nagasu Company, causing the offensive momentum of the Nagashi Company to disappear in an instant. And Yamayoshi Toyomori is different from Biwajima Hiroto, he is not as impatient as Biwajima Hiroto. Toyomori Yamayoshi believed that his army was currently in the hinterland of the enemy's country, and if he took a wrong step, he would probably be completely wiped out, so he prepared to fight steadily.

However, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck. At this critical moment, the Nakajima Pavilion in the northern part of Toyotahara opened its gates at this moment, and the defenders of the pavilion also swarmed out. This army kicked up billowing sand and gradually approached from north to south.

"It's the defenders of the Nakajima Pavilion, and they must not be allowed to merge with the long continuum!" Yamayoshi Toyomori immediately turned to an elderly samurai and said, "Uncle, please lead five hundred troops to make a quick detour and engage the enemy reinforcements, and try to hold them back and not let them merge with the long company!" ”

"Understood. Among the Zhongyue people, there is only one of our Yamayoshi families who have not yet participated in the joint battle of Noto, and in any case, the old man will let the reputation of our army be known to the Imperial Palace and the Zhenfu Palace! Our Yamayoshi family is not just a contemporary official! Yamayoshi said to Yamayoshi Toyomori with a smile.

As soon as the defender of the Nakajima Pavilion, Miyake Keifu, learned that the headquarters of the Nagasuren was besieged by the Uesugi army in Toyotahara, he hurriedly ordered the defenders to come out of the city to help, for fear of being a step too slow. It's just that he seems to have forgotten to leave some defenders in the house.

"Father! Look at the flag and refer to the thing is Miyake-sama of Nakajimakan! At this time, Chang Lian Long walked up to Chang Lian with a bloody face and pointed to an army from far and near.

"It seems that the sky is endless, but at present, the Uesugi army is strong, and our army is only less than 3,700 when you count the Miyake army that is about to arrive, on the other hand, the Uesugi army has at least 4,000 people! It is still very difficult for our army to break through to the foot of Nanao Castle. "Chang Xulian now just wants to fight his way out of the encirclement and enter Seven Tails City.

"So how about sending someone out of the siege to Shiga Pavilion at this moment to ask Matsuba Hall to send troops? The current Matsuba Hall of the Great Enemy will not understand this truth. Nagaren Ryu thought of Hatakeyama Yoshito, who was still doing nothing in Shigakan.

"Nope." Chang Xulian suddenly shook his head at this moment, "The craftsman Hatakeyama family has already lost at the beginning, and has been losing. The Uesugi army has always held the initiative in the attack on Noto. The reason why the Uesugi army did not choose to storm Nanao Castle from the time they entered Noto until now was because they knew that Nanao Castle was a rare fortified castle in Hokuriku Province, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and a strong attack would cost great losses. However, as long as the Takusaku Hatakeyama army is annihilated one by one in the field battle, then our army will have fewer and fewer troops, so that it will not be able to defend Nanao Castle······"

"If you want to hold the Seven Tails Castle from being captured, you need a considerable number of defenders. But how many available soldiers are left in the craftsman Hatakeyama family at present? How many of the Seven Tails defenders are left? Chang Lianlong thought about it and looked around again, his tone already a little disappointed.

"Even if our army has 3,700 troops here, there are only 500 defenders in Qiwei City······ Chang Xulian didn't want to estimate his own casualties at this moment.
