Although the Gaoshan clan went to the battlefield, but did not personally step forward to fight with the enemy, but closely watched the changes in the battle situation not far away, because under the impact of the army under his command, more than a dozen monks fell, so as long as you work harder, you can break through the enemy's defense line, as long as you can rush closer, you will win.

However, as soon as the enemy's reinforcements from the battlefield arrived, the already sparse defensive line was re-solidified. And with the arrival of the enemy's reinforcements, more than a dozen ashigaru who had already turned into the village, and after a little resistance, all fell under the enemy's naïve knife without exception.

"The Oda Army retreats!" The clan originally wanted to use the high morale of his command to attack the village, but now it seems that there is no chance, so he has to order the attacking army to retreat first and implement the second set of square presses.

And when the army under his command retreated, the enemy troops in the village immediately burst out with joy, especially the Ashikaga army, which shouted even louder. However, they didn't want to think about it, if the Gaoshan Clan Sect retreated so easily, would it still be the Gaoshan Clan, but it didn't matter anymore, because they didn't have a chance to think deeply.

When the ashigaru outside the city retreated less than five meters, he saw that dozens of meters away from the camp, a hundred heavy vine bows and ashigaru had already drawn their bows and arrows and prepared.

"Shoot." With the order of Omiya Jinglian, a hundred sharp arrows roared towards the enemy.

Because the monks and the Ashikaga family were unprepared, more than a dozen people fell to the ground in an instant, and even worse, before they could finish cheering, sharp arrows were already shot into their mouths and pierced through the back of their heads.

And before they could wake up, another round of arrows poured down, but after three rounds, there were no living people within three meters of the camp, not because the enemy had been shot dead, but because they involuntarily retreated.

It's not that Shigeto doesn't want to kill more enemies, if they shoot a little bit back in the second and third rounds, each time. Then there will be more enemies falling, and the reason why they are doing this is simply to create an opportunity for the spear Ashigaru led by Katsusuke Tanaka, and this is of course inseparable from the instructions of the Takayama clan.

Katsusuke Tanaka saw that the enemy retreated one after another in order to avoid the rain of arrows. Of course, he would not prevent this excellent opportunity, and as soon as the third round of arrow rain stopped, he rushed over with his spears again.

The spear was only four or five meters away from the wall, and when he led the army to rush to the front, the enemy had just recovered from the panic, and when he climbed into the wall, the enemy had just stepped forward. But as he entered, more and more spears came in.

Tanaka Katsusuke rolled on the spot, grabbed the knife that was cut down, and his subordinate Ashigaru picked up his weapon from the ground casually, and followed Tanaka Katsusuke to kill in the direction of the walled gate, but because the monks quickly surrounded him, it was not so easy for the army behind to turn in, and they could only watch Tanaka-sama and the more than 20 Ashigaru being besieged by the enemy. The only thing that can be done is to deal more damage to the enemy through the wall.

Katsusuke Tanaka didn't care so much, and he knew that he was not alone with the more than 20 troops who climbed over the wall, so he didn't have a trace of fear. Still methodically killing in the direction of the city gate.

His thinking was completely correct, when they turned over and entered the enemy camp at the same time, Omiya Jingren had also led his subordinates to quickly come to the wall more than ten meters away, as soon as they stood firm, they kept shooting at the enemy who was blocking Tanaka Katsusuke's way, the distance of more than ten meters was equivalent to no distance for Shigeto Bow Ashigaru at all, and most of the objects they shot were a few meters away from Tanaka Katsusuke and others, so they would not cause accidental injuries at all.

And under such a blow, there are fewer and fewer enemies who come to stand in the way. Although they are also monks, they are not as fanatical as the monks of Enryakuji Temple, and life is still very important to them, as for the strength of the Ashikaga family, it is not to mention. …,

"You can't keep shooting at the enemy's bows, Shogun. You lead your men to defeat them, this seat to entangle the enemy, if this enemy breaks through the village, we will all be finished, go quickly. ”

Seeing that the situation was already critical, the abbot no longer cared about Ashikaga Yoshiaki's identity, he saw that the Ashikaga army was still passively guarding the wall, stiffly resisting the enemy's attack, and couldn't help but hurriedly said, and in addition to sending monks to pick up Yu's defense, he personally led the monks to block Tanaka Katsusuke's go, delaying his approach to the city gate.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki was furious in his heart, he was also a general, and he was summoned by an unknown abbot of a small temple, what kind of system did this become, anyway, he had already made up his mind to wait for the war, and he would lead Ashigaru to leave, so he didn't want to respond to this unreasonable request.

But suddenly a flash of inspiration occurred in his mind, isn't he worried that he has no chance to leave here, now is a good opportunity, most of the Oda patriarchs who are attacking have been entangled by the monks, and he will not take this opportunity to flee from here, and now the battle is not over, and the Oda army may not be able to divide the military strength to chase him.

Thinking of this, Ashikaga Yoshiaki made a decision in his heart. And immediately ordered: "The Ashikaga army obeys the order, follow me out of the city, and annihilate the enemy." ”

After hearing this, the ashiki people under his command had no choice but to change guards with the monks and soldiers, and came to the gate of the village, ready to rush out of the city.

The retainers of the Ashikaga family didn't expect the lord to want to escape, so in their opinion, it would be unwise for the Ashikaga army to go out of the city at this moment.

I only heard Jingji Gaoji hurriedly persuaded: "Lord, don't go out to meet the battle at this time, otherwise my family may be finished." ”

"Yes, lord, my subordinates think it's better to explain the situation and let the monks and soldiers go out, so that there is still some hope of victory."

"You don't have to say more, don't care about the life and death of those inadequacies after you leave the city, just follow me closely, can you hear clearly?" After speaking, Ashikaga Yoshiaki came to the walled gate and ordered loudly: "Go out of the city and fight with me against the enemy." ”

Since the Oda army was entangled with the enemy at the moment, and there was a shortage of manpower at the gate, the Ashikaga army rushed out of the city smoothly.

However, what they didn't expect was that the heavy rattan bow was not only a weapon, but they also had a sword.

As soon as the Ashikaga army rushed out of the city, they carried the heavy wisteria bow to their backs, drew their swords from their waists, and under the leadership of Omiya Keiren, they also rushed towards the enemy.

Seeing that the enemy was so strong, the Ashikaga family Ashigaru was half defeated as soon as they fought, and in the scattered and fleeing Ashikaga family, Ashikaga Yoshiaki and several samurai were also mixed in.

Those Ashikaga family members who are resisting see that the army is retreating, and there are no samurai to supervise the battle, who is willing to die in vain, just in the blink of an eye, there is no shadow of the Ashikaga family on the battlefield.

However, although the Oda army outside the castle won a big victory, the life of Tanaka Katsusuke and the more than 20 Ashigaru under his command in the castle was not so easy.

The monks in the village saw that the Ashikaga army was about to collapse at the touch of a button, shouting and scolding one after another, they could not chase, they could only use the more than 20 enemies in front of them to vent their anger, because there was no support from Shigeto Bow and Ashigaru, the Oda army that attacked the village was only left with Tanaka Katsusuke and five Ashigaru.

However, of course, this was only temporary, and as soon as the Ashikaga army broke up, Shigeto began to bombard the monks again. And due to the retreat of the Ashikaga army, the defensive line was also stretched, and they had to besiege Katsusuke Tanaka, so soon there was a loophole, and with the hole, more and more Oda troops turned into the city. …,

At this time, the strength around Katsusuke Tanaka was also strengthened, and in the blink of an eye, thirty or forty people were gathered, and this army was only one step away from the walled gate.

At this time, the clan saw that the victory was irreversible, and the sect smiled on his face.

"The whole army obeys the order, solves the enemy as quickly as possible, and rushes with me." With the capture of the walled gate, the Takayama clan also rushed into the city with a sword, and the abbots of the temples who were guarding the defense line saw that the general trend had gone, some fled, some met the enemy, and some moved closer to the direction of the monks and soldiers of Enryakuji Temple, and the scene was very chaotic.

After receiving that the rear army had been defeated, Prince Jue Shufa only cursed in a low voice, and without hesitation, he led all his disciples to flee.

Not to mention that the Takayama clan and Akechi Mitsuhide achieved the most difficult victory, only to say that Ashikaga Yoshiaki and three or four famous retainers and ten and famous ashigashi fled back to Nijo Castle in embarrassment, and the retainers who originally followed Ashikaga Yoshiaki out of the army were not only these, there were more than a dozen, but when Ashikaga Yoshiaki disappointed them four times or three times, so they took the opportunity to escape, and they had already gone their separate ways, and Hosokawa Fujitaka was one of them.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki returned to the city not to hold on to this city, but to pack up the gold and silver and prepare to run away, his idea was good, but he didn't know the way, the castle keeper Isshiki Fujicho had already secretly returned to Oda and seized the city.

At this moment, although it has been three watches, but Isshiki Fujicho did not fall asleep, Takayama-sama let himself announce in the middle of the night that he would return to the Oda family, and let Ashikaga Yoshiaki know the way, and now the time is almost up, and it is time to announce.

But before he could come and implement it, he saw Akutagawa Sunjuro rushing in from the outside and said loudly: "My lord, Ashikaga Yoshiaki has led more than a dozen remnants of the army outside the city, and I ask my lord to decide." ”

Ashikaga Yoshiaki is back? And there are only a dozen people around? After hearing the news, Isshiki Fujicho was overjoyed, Ha Luha, God is hungry and blind, I didn't expect to earn much credit in this battle, but now it's different, if you can capture Ashikaga Yoshiaki, then it will definitely be a great achievement.

Thinking of this, he put the thoughts in his heart, since it has now returned to Oda, then the family is the enemy, so the retainers agree with the idea of the lord, and the only one who opposes is Isshiki Hidekatsu, he doesn't want to let the general go, but to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.

However, in the end, Isshiki Fujicho still couldn't be ruthless, and he still didn't kill him, but just captured him. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
