It's September, and the autumn wind is blowing. In the vicinity of the Jintong River in the west of Toyama Castle in Echichu, the original Pure Land Shinshu and the Uesugi army held each other on both sides of the Jintong River. And a force with a military advantage is already ready to cross the Shentong River.

After the first rays of the morning sun had set, the army began to cross the river. Several small boats were running along the river, and the vanguard of the battle was headed by Chojiro Shibayama (Kaga Wealthy Family) and Dr. Saemon Ninomiya (former retainer of the Ninomiya family). The two thousand and one quickly concentrated on Toyama Wado, and they were disorderly, wading through the water and advancing towards the Uesugi army outside Toyama Castle. The leader of the group stood on a small boat, dressed in a belly roll, and shouted loudly: "I am the vanguard general Shibayama Chojiro!" Samurai of the Uesugi family, come and fight me! ”

In response to the massive crossing of the river, the Uesugi army also reacted immediately, and the 2,000 troops quickly lined up and waited solemnly. The only fifty men in the Uesugi army who were armed with iron cannons were also urged by Kanya Keiji to raise their guns and aim on the banks of the Kamzu River.

"How's the preparation going over there in Uno Samasukeden?" Gan Katsune got on his horse with the help of his retainers, and after taking his spear, he asked Honjo Hidetsuna.

"It is too early to clear the obstacles of the river at this moment, and once the army of the army discovers the strategy of the town government, it will be the most fatal blow to our army." Honjo Hidetsuna also immediately got on the horse and said after sitting down.

"Then let's provoke the enemy army first, so that we can nail all the powerful ones here!" After saying this, he rode quickly through the Uesugi army and came to the shore.

"Who's coming? Get your name in! Chojiro Shibayama asked, letting the boat dock and disembark.

"Gan Bad Omi Shoujing! Drink! At this time, after announcing his name, he let out a loud shout, jumped out of his horse, and fought with Shibayama Chojiro, who was standing on the ground, with a gun.

In just three rounds, Shibayama Chojiro was stabbed in the right hand by Kanri Keitori. The sword in his hand immediately fell to the ground. Seeing this, Shibayama Chojiro hurriedly turned around and prepared to escape, but Kanya Keiji was obviously unwilling to let him go so easily, and then chased after him. As soon as Shibayama Chojiro jumped onto the wooden boat, his chest was pierced by the spear in his hand.

"Avenge your lordship!" After seeing that his sovereign had been killed, the two samurai on the wooden boat also reacted immediately, and immediately drew their swords from their waists and fought with Gan Li Jingzhi.

Seeing that Kanya Keichi was entangled by two samurai under Shibayama Chojiro, Dr. Ninomiya Saemon thought that this was a good opportunity, so he immediately ordered someone to stop the wooden boat on the shore, jumped out of the boat, and rushed to Kanya Keichi with a spear in hand.

"I'm the first doctor of Ninomiya Saemon! Gan Bad Omi Shou Temple, your head will be accepted by me with a smile! Dr. Saemon Ninomiya yelled as he ran.

"It's not that easy!" After quickly stabbing two samurai under the command of Shibayama Chojiro to death, he was about to ride with Dr. Ninomiya Saemon, who had just come ashore, to find that Dr. Ninomiya Saemon had already been shot by an arrow and fell to the ground.

"Fujiwara Town Mansion Retainer, Shirakura Gozaemon will ask for Dr. Ninomiya Saemon!" A white-haired samurai walked quickly to Dr. Saemon Ninomiya, removed his head, and shouted.

"The military supervisor sent by the town government is really not simple, and he is very good at archery." After taking off the head of Shibayama Chojiro, he felt that he could not compete with the older ones, and he then returned to the battle.

In an instant, the morale of the Uesugi army increased greatly, and the morale of the two vanguard generals became sluggish after the two advance commanders were defeated one after another. After all, the loss of two powerful samurai in one fell swoop, and the damage was still great for them.

"We are on the orders of the Lord of the Law to go out to the battle in Yuechu, and this battle is determined to break the Uesugi army and capture Toyama Castle! Ladies and gentlemen, the Buddha army will win! Lai Jun saw that the signs were wrong, and immediately began to cheer himself up.

"The Buddha army will win!" After a chorus of nearly 30,000 people, the momentum was amazing.

"Look, my lord! The iron artillery of the Uesugi army has reached the shore! A monk hurriedly ran behind Shimoma Yorijun and Sugiura Genren to report.

The iron artillery of the Uesugi army quickly came to the shore, and when they saw the advance of the army crossing the river, they fired a salvo without saying a word. The sound of this dense iron cannon was like a thunderclap, and everyone present was shocked. The screams and wails in the Shentong River are endless. When the rest of the people in the river saw that the signs were wrong and hurriedly turned around to escape, two hundred Ashigaru armed with Maruki bows came out of the Uesugi army and immediately poured a rain of arrows on the ones who had fled with difficulty. As waves of arrows rained down, more and more people were killed and wounded. The Kazumi River is filled with the mournful screams of people and horses.

"The enemy forces are weak, and they are obviously preparing to stall for time!" After Sugiura Xuanren saw that something was wrong, he immediately said to Yoshijun Shimoma.

"Well, order the five teams of Shimoma Hyogo, Shimoma Tango, Nitta Shinemon, Shimoma Shoufa, and Kurose Kakudo to quickly cross the Kamito River!" Lai Jun said angrily. When he saw that his two generals were killed, he couldn't sit still, and he knew very well that the strength of the first force was a rabble compared to the Uesugi army. Therefore, this battle must not evolve into a protracted war for a single situation.

"Yes!" The monks immediately left the place and ran to give orders.

"Drums! Out of the line! Then, more than a dozen monks on horseback galloped around, passing on the order of Shimoma Yorijun. A moment later, with the sound of the taiko drum, a large army of 5,000 men and horses began to cross the river.

"The Iron Artillery Brigade and the Bow Foot Light Brigade retreated to the west gate of Toyama Castle!" When Hidetsuna Honjo saw that nearly one-sixth of his troops had been sent to cross the river, he hurriedly asked the iron artillery team, which was still reloading, and the archazuki light team, which was preparing for the next salvo, to retreat.

"Baicang Palace, is there still no news from the town government and the White Bird City?" Although Gan Bad Jingzhi has followed Nagawei to fight a lot of vicious battles for Jing and Qianxin, but in the face of a large number of fights, there is still no bottom in his heart.

"Omi Shouden, the Lord has ordered you to guard the area around the Shentong River and Toyama Castle with Misakusuke, so don't ask about the rest." After throwing the Maruki bow in his hand to an ashigaru, Shirakura Gozaemon drew his saber and prepared for a white-knuckle fight.

"That's it! I am deeply favored and trusted by the Lord's family, and today is the time to repay the ancestor and the Imperial Palace! "There is nothing to ask about Gan Liang Jingzhi, he can only order his retainers to hold the ferry to the death, and not let a strong army break through.

Soon, after the 1,000 Uesugi troops under the Kanryo Keizoro came to the shore and waited solemnly, a part of the Ichikazu army also entered the shallows and launched a fierce attack on the Uesugi army, which was stubbornly defending the ferry.

Groups of pigs dressed in a mess rushed into the Uesugi army, and from time to time several people fell to the ground. Soon, the shouts of killing were all over the Shentong River. Because the strength of the Gan Ya Jing Department did not suffer a large loss in the Echigo Nagao Jingfang Rebellion, he took the initiative to be on the front line. They relied entirely on flesh and blood to fight to the death against an enemy who outnumbered them.

Honjo Hidetsuna's department could only temporarily watch the Gan Li Jing holding department fighting in front of him. Because the Tochio people suffered heavy losses after being besieged by the rebels such as Qijizhong, most of the troops who came to Yuezhong with the court were trained in a short time, and they were a few points worse than the monks and soldiers of the first army, and it was enough to deal with the peasant soldiers and ronin.

"I'm Kurose Satoru! The samurai of the Uesugi clan are here to die! After Kurose finished speaking, he waved the three-meter-long Zen staff in his hand and rushed into the chaos.

"I'm willing to be prepared to be prepared, and I'm here to ask for advice!" The moment the two horses intersected, the red light flashed, and Kurose Katakuto's head flew out.

"Lord Kurose Kakudo has been taken by the Hou Shou of Gan Bad!" After a while, a monk soldier rushed to the front of Yoshijun Shimoma and Genren Sugiura in a panic to report.

"What?!" Shimoma Yoshijun didn't believe his ears a little. At least 5,000 troops have already fought with the Uesugi army, how can the samurai of the Uesugi family still win their own generals among thousands of troops.

At the same time, at the edge of the Ninomaru city wall of Yuankaiji Castle not far from the west of Kamitsu Kawakawa, Asadaku stood under the bamboo finch flag, and he has been standing here motionless from the beginning of the crossing of the river with a momentum until now. He was clearly waiting for something.

"Zhenfu Palace, the two adults of Shiratori Castle, Kojima Saemon Captain and Tangren Shikibu Daisuke are ready to go out at any time." Saito Asanobu walked briskly at this time and said.

"Yes." Chao Ding nodded, still looking at the area where the battle was taking place on the side of the Divine Power River.

"Your Highness, the enemy has not yet crossed the river with more than half of the army······" Saito said with a sigh after looking in the direction of the Shintogawa.

"I have no choice but to see if Mamoru Omi and Misasuke can attract all the forces of the force one after another and start to force the Shentong River." Chao Ding said helplessly. He can only hope for the two of them now. As long as they can attract at least 10,000 forces to the Divine Power River, then it will be possible to annihilate 29,000 forces in one fell swoop.
