"Lord, go quickly!" Nobuyo-ji Temple, with about 200 loyal samurai, held off the Oda army that was pouring in, and covered the escape of the lord Asai Nagamasa.

"Kill!" The samurai of the Hosokawa family rushed up and fought with the samurai of the Asai family.

Jingling! "Drink!" Shimakatsu slashed a samurai to death, and then slashed a samurai to the side with a backhand.

"The enemy has been taken from below!" Takigawa also killed a samurai, shouting triumphantly.

"Drink!" Jing Yi Naohu jumped vigorously, held the knife in both hands, and slashed in the air. Samurai Asai slammed his knife across the sword, and with a flick of his wrist, he slashed the samurai's throat.

"Shihachiro! Drink! Anyangji Jingshi shouted loudly and stabbed to death the Hosokawa samurai in front of him, and the one who died just now was his second brother.

"Whoever stands in my way, die!" Honda Tadashi did not fall behind in one fight to three, and the Asai samurai was a little careless, and he was easily taken by him.

"Kill!" Oura is the letter, and Keer Caizang and others also cut their opponents to the ground.

"Drink!" Anyangji Nobuyo also killed a Hosokawa samurai at this time, and blood was spilled all over the ground, and none of the Asai samurai retreated.

"Ahh Screams and muffled snorts came and went, and there were fewer and fewer Asai samurai around Anyangji Jingshi, and the overall combat quality was not as high as that of Hosokawa samurai.

"Uh... Cough! "Another Asai samurai fell to the ground, he was the third brother of the Anyoji Temple, Hikorokuro.

The battle was nearing its end, and the only ones who were still stubbornly resisting were the two dozen samurai behind the palace, and they were still wounded one by one, and their physical strength was overdrawn.

"Lord Anyangji, surrender." Hosokawa Nobumoto came to the front, and he came to Kotani Castle to form an alliance, and it was he who was received by Anyangji Temple.

"Don't think! There is only Anyangsa Temple that died in battle, and there is no Anyangsa Temple that kneels alive! ”

"If you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the people who are still alive behind." After Hosokawa Nobumoto said this, Anyangji Jingshi subconsciously looked left and right, and his gaze stayed on the body of a young samurai.

"I, the samurai of the Asai family, can only die standing up! No kneeling life! The young samurai's firm answer seemed to reassure the people of Anyangji Temple.

"What's going on?" A majestic voice came from behind, followed by a group of samurai, led by Oda Nobunaga.

"Back to the lord, this is the master of the Anyang Temple of the Asai family, and it was this person who promoted the marriage alliance between the two families in the first place. Your Majesty is in the process of persuading you to surrender, so you have been delayed for some time, so that your lord has been waiting for a long time. Hosokawa Nobumoto hurriedly explained, hoping to keep Anyang Temple alive.

"Brothers! This person is Oda Nobunaga! Kill him! That's it! Kill! "Anyoji Nobeyo noticed that Oda Nobunaga had also come over, and rushed over like crazy.

"Protect the lord! Don't let any of them come! Lawfully kill on sight! Hosokawa Nobumoto hurriedly stood in front of Oda Nobunaga and issued an order to kill.

"Leave Anyang Temple to pass on." Oda Nobunaga's words saved the life of Anyoji Nobuyo, who was surrounded by four or five samurai and captured alive and brought to Oda Nobunaga.

"Drink!" "Ahh The sounds of fighting and screams echoed on the battlefield, and the remaining Asai samurai and Hosokawa samurai fought to the death, and finally all died heroically!

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

"I've heard Rokuro say that you strongly agree with the alliance, and you take care of Rokuro a lot." Oda Nobunaga went straight into the camp of the Asai family and found a place to sit down.

"I have nothing to say in the future, I just hope to be beheaded soon." Although they killed 28 samurai of the Hosokawa family, all 182 of their own samurai were killed in battle, and none of them survived except him.

"Why do you say that, don't you want others to know the names of these warriors?" Oda Nobunaga asked the surname to take the head, and they were all samurai who fought to the last moment on this battlefield.

Seeing these heads, Anyangji Jingshi couldn't stop crying tears, these are the loyal and brave people of the Asai family.

Anyang Temple Jingshi trembled his hands, picked up the heads one by one and carefully identified them, and then said his name, which was recorded by the small surname on the side.

Among them were some high-ranking samurai, including his two younger brothers, Naokori Endo, Masayuki Asai, and Masasumi Asai.

"It's... This samurai..."Anyangji Jingshi suddenly stopped in front of a head, choked up and speechless, and it took a long time to speak.

"This... The samurai is Isano... Membership..."

"Oh? What is his relationship with Isono Yuanchang? ”

"It's his adopted son..."

"Well, write it down, Isano-sama's adopted son.

"It's the only son under the next..."

"What!"

Everyone present was stunned, the Anyang Temple family was loyal to the martyrs, and all of them were loyal to the Asai family.

"Forget it, that's all for identification." Oda Nobunaga waved his hand and signaled that this was the end.

"I've seen it, now please hurry up and cut off the head below." Anyang Temple sat there with his eyes closed, and his will to die was decided.

"No, no, you've already thrown away your life for Changzheng. From today onwards, your life will be received from me Nobunaga. Now I agree with you to return to Kotani Castle and do your best to Nagamasa, which is your unique loyalty. ”

"What I want you to know is what will happen if our army continues to attack Kotani Castle? After today's battle, the Asai family has no troops available, and it will be easy to capture Kotani Castle. Oda Nobunaga was also moved by this martyrdom and decided to let Anyoji go back to Kotani Castle.

"There are more than 1,000 people in Kumasa, more than 500 people in Iguchi Echizen Mamoru, and 2 or 300 people in Chida Cainumasa and Nishino Irimichi. These nearly 2,000 fresh forces are still stuck in Xiaogu City, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to fall into the city! "I don't know if what this Anyang Temple says is true or not, anyway, the gist is that the Asai family is worthy of this battle.

"Yes, you're right, our army is already exhausted from today's battle, let's fight again tomorrow." Oda Nobunaga waved his hand and signaled the whole army to rest, and sent Bupo Koji to send Anyoji Jingyo back to Kotani Castle.

In the battle of Sister River, the Tokugawa family was defeated, and Tokugawa Ieyasu was seriously wounded, but after rescue, he was no longer in serious trouble, and now he was unable to fight again, and the whole army withdrew to Mikawa Province.

The Asakura family was defeated, and the generals Naokaka, Naosumi Makami, Takaki Makami, and Shinhachiro Maonami were killed in battle, and all the loyal martyrs of the Masakami family were killed in battle, and they were later called the "Three Warriors of Makami".

The Asai family was defeated, and the retainer Endo Naokei, Asai Naomasa's younger brother Asai Masayuki, the generals Asai Masasumi, Yukisha Iesumi, Imamura Clan, and Anyoji Ichimono were all killed in battle.

At Yokoyama Castle, Mitamura Kunisei was taken by Naito Masanari, and after learning of the defeat of Ogawa, the lord of the castle, Hidetoshi Onoki, also surrendered to Kaejo.

The Oda family won a crushing victory, but the high-ranking samurai actually suffered no casualties, and only Sakai Masanotsune's son-in-law, Sakai Naotsune, was killed. So in contrast, the Oda family has not lost its foundation, and its combat power is still undiminished.
