In Kaga Province, Matsuren Castle, a huge long dragon appeared on the horizon at great speed, and in a short time, it had already arrived at the foot of Matsuren Castle. After the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info ordered the troops to rest in place, Qili Lai Zhou convened everyone to hold a military meeting.

"Lord Daikan, the front is Tetori River, according to what those civilians who fled just now, as well as the spies sent to report it, the Oda army is still besieging Wada Mountain Castle at this time." Shanpu Xuanren said respectfully.

"Very good, immediately send someone to collect boats, build a raft on the spot, and cross the river to support Wada Mountain Castle!" Qili Lai Zhou said in a cold tone, "You must let those devils of the Oda family know how miserable the fate of being an enemy of my Buddha is!" Especially that Shibata Katsuya, if you don't peel it off and tear it off, I vow not to give up! When it came to the last few words, it was almost as if they were squeezed out of the teeth of Qili Lai Zhou.

On the way here, Qili Laizhou continued to receive information about the front line, and he was still mentally prepared for the loss of Dasheng Temple Castle and the death of Tokuda Shigekiyo. After all, the contrast between the garrison strength of Daikatsuji Castle and the Oda army is too great, and Tokuda Shigekiyo's ability can only be regarded as good in Kaga Province, so how can he be the opponent of Shibata Katsuya?

It's just that what didn't make Qili Lai Zhou think was that the Oda army not only captured the Daishoji Castle in one day, but also even 12 castles such as Higaya and Matsuyama. And it is not only to capture the city, but also to slaughter the believers of the Sect all the way.

Well, in fact, Shichiri Raishu really doesn't care how many of those ignorant and stupid believers die, but the problem is that what Shibata Katsuya did was undoubtedly a slap in the face. He obviously has an army of 80,000, but Shibata Katsuya still leads the army to burn and kill the believers of the sect at will in Kaga Province, how can this kind of thing make Nanori Raishu endure? If he didn't teach Shibata Katsuya a profound lesson, what would the officials under his command and the wealthy families from all over Kaga think of him? What's more, if the news reaches the ears of Honganji Xianru, Shichiri Raishu will basically be able to say goodbye to Kaga Province.

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.

Soon, the news from the side of the Sect of Ichijo spread to the other side of the river.

"Jingjing, you lead 3,000 people to intercept the enemy army, remember, you have to intercept it as if our army is really attacking Hetian Mountain City!" Shibata Katsuie ordered in a deep voice.

"Please rest assured!"

The appearance of the Oda Army did not arouse the doubts of Shichiri Yorishu and others, in fact, if the Oda Army did not react when they were about to cross the river, it would be really strange.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Ahead! It is the Oda family, the greatest enemy of my Buddha! For the sake of my Buddha, give everything you have! In this battle, everyone will be able to ascend to Elysium after death! Qili Lai Zhou shouted and incited.

"Amitabha!" The sound of the huge Buddha horn sounded, and then the followers of the sect began to build rafts and collect boats more quickly. On the other side, Asakura Jingjing also led the troops to set up a position, and iron cannons, bows and arrows were aimed at the opposite bank, and when Ichizong began to cross the river, it was a continuous stream of projectiles and arrows to give them as a greeting gift.

And at this time, as if inspired by the reinforcements of the Yizong on the other side of the river, a huge Buddha horn also sounded in Hetianshan City, "Amitabha! With the uninterrupted sound of the Buddha's horn, as well as the constant sound of shouting and killing, and the sound of muskets, it can be seen that the offensive and defensive battles of Hetian Mountain City have become more intense.

After a long time, Ichijo finally prepared the raft and boat to cross the river, "Cross the river!" Rescue Wada Mountain Castle! Kill all the devils who are enemies of my Buddha! Qili Lai Zhou shouted with a hideous expression.

"Amitabha!"

80,000 The believers of the Xiang sect shouted frantically, and began to force their way across the turbulent Tetori River on rafts and boats.

"Muskets, bows and arrows ready!" Seeing this, Chaocang Jingjing held the sword high and shouted, and when the army entered the firing range, Chaocang Jingjing swung the knife in his hand fiercely, and shouted at the same time, "Shoot!" Kill all these fake monks! ”

Well, fake monks, speaking of which, after entering Echizen from Shibata Katsuie, in order to pacify the Ichichi, Shibata Katsuya directly characterized the monks of the Ichisuji sect as fake monks who deceived the world and stole their reputations. Hawkers,The reason for doing this is naturally to better suppress the Sect.。 After all, Japan is a country of Buddhism, and monks are one of the three treasures of the country since ancient times, even if Shibata Katsuya doesn't care, how can those retainers and troops under his command really wave butcher knives at the monks without any burden?

And the name of such a fake monk, although it can't change the fact that Ichizong is a monk, but at least, Odajun's own psychological burden has become much smaller. To put it simply, this is more like a thing to cover your ears and steal the bell, but I have to say that it still works. After all, in many cases, as long as there is a reason to comfort oneself, people can do very crazy things with peace of mind.

With Asakura Keiken's order, a large number of muskets, bows and arrows began to vent their fire on Tetori Kawanaka's army. For a moment, in addition to the uninterrupted sound of the huge Buddha horn, Tetori Kawakami also heard a miserable howl. I don't know how many believers of the Ichikoji sect were killed by the dense projectiles and arrows, but more of them did not stand firm because of the huge pain after being hit, and fell into the turbulent water.

They tried to struggle in the water, but they were basically either swept away or hit the boats and rafts rowing behind them, and then they were washed away.

However, this situation did not make the believers of the Tsuyo sect feel frightened, they still shouted "Amitabha", and their eyes exuded a kind of crazy flames, and they continued to row towards the shore in the face of the continuous fire net of the Oda army.

Among them, there are indeed a lot of fanatical believers of the Yixiang Sect, who are not afraid of death, and they can throw their heads and spill their blood for the sake of the Yizong and the Buddha. And those who are not very firm in their beliefs will also become crazy under the influence of these people. This is a method that has always been played by the sect and cannot be more familiar, after all, no matter how ignorant these civilians are, they cannot really be all fanatical believers.

"Amitabha!"

Under the command of Asakura Jingjing, Ichijo did not know how many people died from muskets, bows and arrows, or the rushing water, but the number of these deaths was only a very small number in the 80,000 Ichijo army.

"Spearmen prepare! Bow and musket teams shoot freely! Shouted at Asakura Jingjing.

With Asakura Jingjing's order, the pikemen stared at the enemy with guns in both hands, and when the Ichisho finally braved the projectiles and arrows to row to the shore, they once again ushered in a dense gun forest. Or stab, or shoot, the dense gun forest constantly launched an attack on the army.

In the interval between the spear pairs, the musketeers half-crouched in the gap, constantly shooting frantically in front of them, and after one blow, they put the muskets on the left hand side, and picked up the musket on the right hand side and continued to shoot. Behind the firing musket team, several assistants passed the muskets to the rear, like an assembly line, and then passed them to the right hand of the shooter in front of them.

This is a modified three-stage shooting method, which is undoubtedly faster than the previous method of taking turns shooting. Because everyone is only responsible for one item during the musket shooting. This will make them faster, and the musketeer will be more accurate, as he doesn't have to worry about anything, just work on improving his accuracy.

Of course, the auxiliaries of these musketeers naturally can't really be completely auxiliaries, you must know that they are also part of the standing army. Therefore, in addition to serving as an auxiliary to the musketeers, each of them will also be equipped with a spear of about 2 meters, which is responsible for protecting the musketeers in close combat.

In the rear of the troops, the archers kept throwing arrows at the Tetori River, and like the musketeers, they hardly had to think about aiming, because when 80,000 men tried to cross the river in a row, the chance of missing was much smaller than the chance of shooting.

The screams continued to sound, and under the command of Asakura Jingjing, countless sect believers were knocked out of the river, and then they struggled twice and disappeared into the turbulent river. It seems that the Oda army has the upper hand. But the actual situation is that in front of the 80,000 troops of Ichizong, the 3,000 people led by Asakura Jingjing can't stop much time at all.

After all, the Tetori River is a fairly long river that stretches from Funaoka Castle to Wadayama Castle for a total length of more than 6 kilometers. With such a long defensive line, how can the 3,000 people of Asakura Jingjing be able to defend it? Unless Qili Laizhou has a problem with his brain, he will stare at the hard rush of the Oda Army's defense, but even if Qili Laizhou has a hole in his brain, other people can't be so idiotic, right?

Soon, the first believer of the Sect rushed ashore, followed by the second and third......

"Pass the order! Attack while retreating! Try to delay the enemy's arrival on the shore, and at the same time pay attention to the left and right flanks, so as not to let the enemy surround our army! Seeing this, Asakura Jingjing immediately ordered the retreat to begin, and sent someone to report to the Shibata Katsuya in the rear.

On the other side of the Tetori River, after seeing the actions of the Oda family, Shichiri Raishu immediately ordered the troops to hurry up and cross the river. "The Oda family...... Humph......"

In the face of the success of more and more followers of the Oda sect, the strategy of the Oda army to fight and retreat eventually became a rapid retreat to Wada Mountain Castle. And seeing this, how could Qili Lai Zhou let them go? "Give me chase! Don't let any of them go! Qili Lai Zhou shouted with a hideous expression.

"Lord Daiguan, my subordinates feel that they should not pursue at this time, but cross all their troops across the river as soon as possible, and even if the Oda army wants to retreat at that time, they will have to consider the consequences of being directly pursued into Echizen by the 80,000 troops of the Honzong!" Shanpu Xuanren respectfully dissuaded.

"Hmm...... That's it! ”
