Since the leader of the group died or fled, it is needless to say that the nearly 100 monks and soldiers of Teruren Temple who were already at the bottom of the temple had already fled here at the first time, and even if those Honganji monks wanted to continue fighting, they could only retreat without anyone in command

It's not so easy to retreat, the fine armor and scimitar are in front of them, they have already cut off their way back, they see that no matter how hard they try, they will eventually die today, so not only did they break out with unprecedented combat power, but they no longer attacked the camp gate, but rushed to the rear where the Gaoshan clan was located, they originally wanted to pull the Gaoshan clan to die together.

This can only be said that they are too naïve, when they just changed direction and left the fine armor and scimitar behind them, they only heard the clan sect shouting: "Iron cannon is light to obey the order, two shots are ready, shoot." ”

The remaining monks were only about 400 people, but each salvo was enough for 200 iron cannons, and it was only a two-stage shot, and a large number of monks fell.

This is not the end, when the loud sound of the iron cannon has just passed, the smoke has not yet dispersed, and only the clan sect has faintly ordered: "Heavy vine bow foot light listen to the order, release the arrow." ”

Although the accuracy of the heavy vine bow ashigaru is a little worse, but as early as the sound of the iron cannon, Watanabe Moritsuna and Maeda Toshiya have already issued an order for their subordinates to retreat, so that the heavy vine bow ashigaru has no worries, I saw them shoot an arrow at the fastest speed, and at this moment the distance between the two sides is only more than ten meters away, such a distance even if they are hand-to-hand, but most people can shoot the enemy.

The rain of arrows struck, and the monks kept striking the sharp arrows flying towards them with the long-handled swords in their hands. However, there were too many arrows, and the strength was strong enough, so they couldn't take care of the head but not the tail, so many monks and soldiers fell.

And the clan sect saw that the iron cannon Ashigaru had not yet finished loading the ammunition, so he had to order Shigeto Bow Ashigaru to fire a salvo, and in the face of such a painful blow, those monks and soldiers should have no fighting spirit. But they all know in their hearts that their back road has been cut off, and they are all dead today. So not only did no one retreat or flee, but they accelerated their charge.

The clan sect ordered the shooting to be in no hurry, so he immediately said to Maeda Keiji: "These enemies will be handed over to you." ”

Keiji Maeda watched as more and more monks fell. I thought there was nothing wrong with me, and I had no intention of going into battle, but now when I heard the lord say, the desire to fight in his heart was ignited again, although there were only more than 100 monks and soldiers still standing, and there were many people with injuries, but no matter how small the mosquito was, it was still a piece of meat.

When the clan sect finished speaking, he immediately rushed out of the army, until he rushed out of the phalanx of iron cannons and heavy vine bows in front of him. Only then did he order his banner warriors to attack the enemy, as if they were afraid that their troops would compete with him.

Keiji Maeda was the first to rush into the enemy, and at first he fought the enemy with the spear in his hand, but as soon as he stabbed two monks to death, he felt that the spear was too slow. So without much hesitation, he immediately abandoned his spear, drew his sword and slashed at the enemy, and the speed of killing the enemy was indeed much faster than just now.

On the other side, Maeda Toshiie and Watanabe Moritsuna saw that the samurai of the main family had already engaged the enemy, so they did not bother to watch, and they immediately led their men to rush forward. Joined the battle group, at this time there were only more than 100 monks left, they joined, the enemy was even more powerless to fight back, a moment later, in the camp, there was no monk standing there.

For the battle clan sect without any suspense, he didn't bother to look at it, and at the same time that Former Tian Qingji led his subordinates to rush out of the city, he had already returned to the big tent, waiting to listen to the report of the retainers.

After a short time, the retainers walked in one after another, only to hear the clan sect ask, "How many losses does the family have in this battle?" When the clan asked questions, the retainers began to report the casualties of the forces they led. …,

There were no losses in the Shigeto Bow Ashigaru and Iron Cannon Ashigaru, and only two people were killed and five were injured in the Hachimoto samurai, while the two Ashigaru teams of the fine armor and scimitar had been fighting with the enemy in close combat, so the losses were more serious than those of the other armies, among which the Seiko Ashigaru had 45 people who were killed and could no longer fight in the future, and there were 60 Ashigaru of the scimitar ashigaru.

For such a loss, the clan is still acceptable, with the loss of more than 100 people to annihilate more than 700 monks, even if the army under his command is hundreds more than the enemy, but such a record can be regarded as brilliant.

And the most important thing is that although they lost more than 100 people, but their goal was completely achieved, these newly recruited ashigaru under his command have finally grown up after this battle, although their actions may still be a little rusty, but the courage to kill is there, if there is no experience in this battle, then when facing the Takeda army, they may only have a dead end.

The teachings of Zhaolian Temple, who had already escaped from Lu, heard the sound of iron cannons behind him, and already knew that few of the remaining hundreds of monks and soldiers could survive, and if they could fight with the Gaoshan army for a while, then he still wanted to go back to Zhaolian Temple.

Although he didn't dare to stay in this temple any longer, but packing up more gold and silver could help him make a comeback, but the monks and soldiers in the camp were wiped out so quickly, so he didn't dare to go back to Terurenji Temple, so after thinking about it for a while, he decided to go to Kaga Honganji Temple.

He believed that if Kaga Honganji could be moved, then when the Takayama family and the Takeda family were fighting, Honganji would lead the army to attack again, and it would form a momentum of increasing the attack on the Takayama army and hasten the demise of the Takayama army.

If he cooperates with the Takeda family, he is nothing in front of the Takeda family, but once he can attract Kaga Honganji, even if his strength is still inferior, if the Takeda family wants to protect the long-term stability of the territory, he will have to share some of the benefits.

And how could Honganji take a fancy to this barren Hida, by that time, part of the land of this Hida was not its own.

The more I thought about the teachings of Terurenji Temple, the more I felt comfortable, and even the indignation that had just been brought to it by the defeat was swept away.

Besides, after comforting the troops under his command, the clan immediately ordered Maeda Toshiie to lead his scimitar Ashigaru to Terurenji Temple and completely destroy the temple.

The monks and soldiers in the temple have all been exterminated, only more than 200 of them are completely enough, and after one night, after the Maeda Toshiya returns, the clan leader will return to Matsukura Castle first, intending to rest for a day, and then return to Takayama Castle to deal with the next big battle with the Takeda family.
