Chapter 540: There is no way to heaven

Although there were many monks, they didn't expect that there would be an ambush here, when they saw thousands of Oda troops suddenly killing from one side, they couldn't help but be stunned, and many monks and soldiers reacted relatively quickly, and retreated to the opposite hill at the moment when the Oda army rushed out.

But before they could reach the foot of the hill, there were also more than a thousand Oda troops on the hill shouting and rushing down.

The combat power of this group of monks was originally no less than that of the Oda army, but because there was no formation at all, when they were attacked from the left and right, they could only fight separately, and at the same time, their physical strength dropped a lot when they were chasing.

"Don't panic, move closer to the main seat, as long as we are concentrated, we can repel the Oda army, quickly." Several abbots in the team shouted loudly while fighting with the Oda family ashigaru, they knew in their hearts that if they continued in such an unorganized battle, then they must not be the opponent of the Oda army, and now it was too late to line up, so they could only retreat and gather the monks under their command first.

Obviously, the Oda army in front of them is the one that has retreated from the front, and what morale does such an army have, they just caught themselves off guard, but as long as they can concentrate the monks and soldiers, it should not be difficult to turn defeat into victory.

After they gave the order, the monks and soldiers seemed to have a backbone, and the panic in their hearts suddenly subsided, and they immediately began to move closer to several abbots.

However, the monks and soldiers heard the shouts of the abbots, but they also attracted more than a dozen samurai from the Oda family.

For some low-ranking samurai, the heads of a few more monks were cut off. This is already a merit, but for middle and high-ranking samurai such as Beeya Yoryu and Shibata Katsuharu, this is no longer a merit, only to win the enemy's head. in order to leave a mark on the meritorious cloth.

In the original chaos, they had not found the location of the enemy leader for the time being, and this shout was good, and the target was completely exposed in front of them.

After several samurai locked on to the target, they immediately settled the battle in their hands and led Ashigaru to rush towards the target. And those monks and soldiers only cared about running, and they still had the heart to resist, so the Oda samurai did not encounter any obstacles at all, and they had already approached the location of several abbots.

Ichijoji Temple originally belonged to the Yamashiro Kunaka Temple, and at this moment the monks of this temple should appear next to Ashikaga Yoshiaki, but the abbot of the temple, Ichijoji Kuniko, believes that the strength of Ichijoji Temple is much worse than that of Enryakuji Temple. With the pressure of Enryakuji Temple, even if he led the monks and soldiers to the mountain city, he didn't want to get any benefits, so he came to Minami Omi to seek development without hesitation, and don't look at the strength of Ichishimi Temple in the middle of the South Omi Temple. However, the temple is quite prestigious in the Buddhist circles, and resourceful, so it didn't take long for the temples to be willing to obey his orders, although the presiding officer of the temple was only unconvinced, but no one and interests could not pass. So it went on and on.

And after listening to his arrangement, the monks and soldiers of the temple really sang all the way and defeated the Oda army. Ichishiroji Kunithei also began to be arrogant, in his eyes, the Oda army is just like this, so at this moment, when other temples are gathering the monks under his command and preparing to take a defensive position, he led more than 100 monks and soldiers in the Oda family formation to keep rushing and killing, he did not do this to be able to repel the more than 2,000 Oda troops in front of him. He just wanted to fight his way out of here.

Anyway, the temple is in the mountain castle and not in Minami Omi, as long as you escape from the city. Then there is nothing to be afraid of, if the Oda army wants to attack the mountain castle, then you have to ask Enryakuji Temple if you agree.

If he could be honest, in the chaos, the Oda army would not have found him, after all, the samurai in the Oda army were attracted by the shouts of other temple abbots, but his big killing immediately attracted two Oda samurai, and what was very depressing was that these two samurai were one for Bee House Yoryu and the other for Shibata Katsuharu. …,

Both of them rushed down the hill one step later, and when they rushed to the bottom of the mountain, the other samurai had already led their own armies towards the abbot of the temple who wore robes, and one of them was the head of the Shibata family's retainers, and the other was the general of the Oda family, and it would be too shameless to go and compete with other samurai, so the two of them had no choice but to join forces and sweep away those slow-legged monks, who had given up to get credit in this battle.

Shibata Katsuharu just wanted to kill more monks and soldiers for the main communion's revenge, while Beehouse Yoritaka just wanted to end the battle quickly so that he could return to the army to help Takayama-sama, so although it was boring, the two of them worked extremely hard to kill.

Just as the two of them were leading the army to bury their heads in a big slaughter, they heard a ashigaru say loudly: "Look, my lord, there is an enemy who wants to escape." ”

At this moment, the straggler You Yong has been almost killed by the two of them, and the rest of the monks have almost gathered together at this time, just when the two of them don't know what to do next, they suddenly heard Ashigaru's report, and they couldn't help but be shocked.

After hearing this, the two of them immediately turned their heads and looked in the direction of the ashigaru's finger, and it was really as Ashigaru said, he only cared about moving forward, and he didn't notice much behind him, after all, the abbots of the temples were in front of him, and they thought that the monks and soldiers should also move closer to the front, of course, it was not excluded that a small number of monks and soldiers who were ready to escape, and the individual monks who escaped did not make them interested at all, and the army turned around only to kill one or two people, which was really a bit of a fuss, so at first Shibata Katsuharu and Beehouse Yoritaka didn't take it too seriously, just instinctively looking behind him.

This is not good, after a glance, the two immediately became excited, good guys, there are a few monks and soldiers on the run, it is clear that there are hundreds of people, and after a careful look, the two of them were pleasantly surprised to find that the person at the head was wearing a robe, and it can be seen from his dress that the other party is obviously an abbot of the temple.

"Ha Luha, this is really a nowhere to find the iron shoes, it takes no effort to get it, Lord Beehouse, you can't grab this credit from me." Shibata Katsuharu, while smiling, turned the horse's head, and was about to lead the ashigaru rush to kill.

For Beehouse Yoryu, everything else can be done, but this credit must not be given, I saw that he also led Ashigaru to chase after him, and said: "Lord Shibata, this enemy army is obviously discovered by my family Ashigaru first, so I won't do it, or I'll do it myself." ”

If it was someone else, when the bee house Yoryū said this, he would have retreated, but who is Shibata Katsuharu, that is Shibata Katsuya's own brother, although the martial arts are much worse than his brother, but this temper is not bad at all, and there is a poor field Katsuya on weekdays, not to mention that Beehouse Yoryū is just a famous general, even if it is for Niwa Nagahide, Zuokuma Nobumori, if he says that he can't deal with it, he dares to hard top, anyway, there is Shibata Katsuya to wipe his ass for himself, except for Oda Nobunaga, and his brother, he really hasn't been afraid of anyone.

So when the bee house Lai Long finished speaking, instead of retreating, he stiffened his head and said: "Lord Bee House, this meal can be eaten indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense, what do you mean by your family's ashigaru, this ashigaru is clearly the flag under the command of the main hall, although he is a retainer of the Shibata family, but he is also serving the main hall, isn't the adult afraid that others will sue in front of the main hall." ”

After listening to the bee house, his nose was almost crooked, so what else is it, it will be you who wants to go to the lord to complain, although he can be sure that even if he goes to sue in front of the lord, the lord will definitely not blame himself for such a trivial matter, but this is indeed his own fault, and he doesn't want to offend Shibata Katsuie, in the heart of the samurai from Owari, he is still quite jealous of Shibata Katsuie.

However, if he was asked to give up the credit in front of him like this, he was a little unwilling, after all, the other samurai had opponents, and if the abbot in front of him was taken by Shibata Katsuharu again, in the end, he would get nothing, and his face was really a little unbearable. …,

So I had to retreat and just listen to him speak: "Since Shibata-sama is unwilling to let go, why don't we fight with him first, and the other person is responsible for clearing those monks around him?" ”

Shibata Katsuharu, seeing that the bee house Lai Long had softened, couldn't help but feel proud, but no matter how the other party said it, he was also a direct minister under the command of the main hall, and his identity was one level higher than himself, if he really offended him for this little thing, there was no need, anyway, he was half a horse's head faster than him, as long as he worked harder, the credit could still be snatched by him.

Thinking of this, I only heard Shibata Katsuharu say: "Okay, a word is a certainty." After saying that, the two of them didn't say more, and urged the horses to gallop away, which made the hundreds of ashigaru behind them miserable.

Ichiseyji Guoxing not only has some intelligence, his own martial arts are also not bad, and in front of him is only Oda family ashigaru, no samurai to stop, so even if Oda family Ashigaru is how elite, it is impossible for him to be his opponent, in order to be able to rush out of the Lu at the fastest speed, Ichissunori Temple Guoxing is rushing to the front, a long-handled knife in his hand was danced by the tiger and tiger, all the Oda family ashigaru who tried to get closer, without exception were hacked to death by him, seeing that there were fewer and fewer enemies in front of him, Ichijoji Guoxing finally breathed a sigh of relief, and it seems that there should be no problem if you want to rush out.

While killing, while listening to the miserable howl behind him, he was quite proud in his heart, you kill, the more you fight, the easier it will be to hurt yourself.

And Ichisa Temple Guoxing kept waving the childish knife in his hand, and at the same time did not forget to boost morale. And the monks and soldiers around him worked very hard in order to get a way out, even if they didn't say it. Therefore, the Oda army that quickly blocked the front was either killed by the sword, or instinctively retreated, and the enemy who was still blocking the way in front of him was less than twenty people.
