Outside the city of Hetian Mountain, in the main formation of the army. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Qili Lai Zhou listened to the increasingly noisy shouts and killings around him, and suddenly sat on the ground, his eyes scattered and muttered, "How can this be...... How could this be...... but was already stunned. Not far from his side, Sugipu Genren could no longer take care of his boss, and he was trying to mobilize his troops to resist the frontal attack and internal chaos, and at the same time send troops to resist the Oda army attacking from Wadayama Castle.

He knew very well that if this continued, the army would be defeated, and the consequences of defeat would be ...... Well, Shanpu Xuanren really can't even think about it.

"What the hell is going on over there?! Didn't Suzuki Shigeyasu only bring a few hundred people? Why haven't you killed them all?! Sugi Pu Xuanren shouted angrily.

Hearing Shanpu Xuanren's words, one of his banners quickly ran out to check the situation, and then hurriedly ran back again, "Lord! It's the Oda Army! It's Sakuma Morimasa! That ghost Xuanfan! Qiben shouted in a panic.

"Is it him?!" Sugipu Genren was stunned when he heard this, Sugipu Genren didn't know Sakuma Morimasa, but he had also heard of his name, after all, when the Oda family suppressed the Ichijo sect, this kid was the most ruthless one.

"Yes! The man kept shouting his name and said that Suzuki Shigeyasu had taken refuge in the Oda family, and that we should submit quickly. Qiben said in a panic.

"Bastard!" Shanpu Xuanren scolded angrily, but immediately ordered, "Go, send Qiben and the monks over!" I don't believe that Sakuma Morimasa is really a ghost! Even if it's a ghost! You have to lie on your stomach in front of the Buddha! Shanpu Xuanren roared with a hideous face.

"Yes!"

With Sugipu Genren's order, the pressure on Sakuma Morimasa's side suddenly increased greatly. In fact, the number of people on his side was too small, and if it weren't for Suzuki Shigeyasu's troops being co-opted by him, he wouldn't have attacked Ichijo's main camp at all. Well? How did you get it together? Hawkers, it's also very simple, when Sugipu Genren ordered to attack Suzuki Shigeyasu's troops, those people didn't dwell on it for too long.

"Sheng Zheng, what now? 1 "Tomita Shigemasa looked at Sakuma Morimasa with some anxiety, at the beginning, with the opportunity of sudden rebellion, Sakuma Morimasa and the two led the Oda Army to really advance a lot towards the Ichikonomi Honjin. It was only after they were stopped by the monks of Kanazawa's imperial visit that they were unable to continue their advance.

Well, as the acting official of Kaga Province, Nanori Yorishu has always lived in Kanazawa. However, the monks there are different from ordinary monks, as the people who defend the monastery, their daily life is almost the same as that of the samurai, and they are constantly training martial arts every day. This kind of life made them not much worse than the standing soldiers of the Oda family, and even stronger.

It's just that their equipment and cooperation with each other are completely inferior to the Oda family, and there are only a few truly powerful monks, otherwise, the combat effectiveness of the Ichizong will definitely have to be raised to a higher level. But even so, it is basically impossible for Sakuma Morimasa and others to break into the main camp of the Ichijo Sect. Although Sakuma Morimasa has always regarded Oda Yoshinobu as his idol, it is obvious that what idols can do, Sakuma Morimasa, a small fan, is still far behind.

"There's no way, give up attacking the main formation and move closer to Lord Kanamori's side!" Sakuma Morimasa looked at Ichimune's main camp and said with regret. To be honest, things have developed to this point, which has exceeded Sakuma Morimasa's imagination, originally he just wanted to kill Suzuki Shigeyasu at the most opportune opportunity, and then the army that was cut off from the back road would inevitably be in chaos. And now, directly creating chaos in the army is already an unexpected gain.

Hearing this, Tomita Shigemasa glanced at the army with some reluctance, he knew that if he could rush in and kill Qili Lai Zhou, it would definitely be a huge merit, and maybe just by virtue of this merit, it would be enough to be named the city lord.

"Alas, if only I had the martial arts of His Highness Shura." Shigemasa Tomita muttered to himself.

"Okay, we have already made great achievements in this trip, as a samurai, the most taboo thing is to be greedy for merit." Sakuma Morimasa laughed when he heard this.

"Tsk, that's what I said, and you kid was just teaching me a lesson?!" Shigemasa Tomita stared at Sakuma with an unkind expression.

"Everyone! If you want to live, kill them with me! Faced with Tomita Shigemasa's suspicions, Sakuma Morimasa directly diverted the topic.

"Bastard! Don't ignore me! Shigemasa Tomita shouted loudly and hurriedly chased after him.

Hawkers, maybe it would be very difficult for Sakuma Morimasa and them to attack the main formation of Ichimune, but if they attack in the direction of Kanamori's approach, it will be simply unstoppable. After all, the fact that monks and soldiers can maintain their combat effectiveness does not mean that ordinary believers are the same. In fact, now the entire army has fallen into chaos, although Sugi Pu Xuanren is working very hard to command, but ...... There are some things that don't pay off if you work hard.

The front was broken through by the Oda army, and there were their own troops rebelling in the formation, and at the same time there was the Oda army that came out of nowhere, and the Oda army was flanking in the rear, although there were not many troops, but they pointed directly at the main formation. What's more, Hetian Mountain City was captured, and they lost their way out of retreat all of a sudden.

And for the vast majority of the Sect members, they were completely unaware of the situation in their own formation, which also made their morale extremely low. Coupled with the decrease in physical strength caused by the long battle, in the end, the front was broken through by the Oda army.

"Rush! Kill all these fake monks! Tomita Nagashi roared, constantly leading the Oda army to attack the chaotic Ichisho army, as a young man similar to Sakuma Morimasa, how could he turn a blind eye to Sakuma Morimasa's great achievements? So now he is holding his breath and wants to fight with Sakuma Morimasa.

On the other side, Sakuma Morimasa, after joining up with Kanamori Naga, who had arrived, once again launched an attack on the Ichijo Army's main position. Although the number of troops in addition to Kanemori was less than 2,000 people, it was obvious that at this time, the Ichijo Sect could not organize any effective resistance at all.

Eventually, the battle on both sides was broken, and the Oda army burst into the battle and continued to kill, and the believers of the Tsuyo sect forgot their oath to the Buddha and fled to Tetorigawa in a panic.

"It's over...... It's all over......" Qili Lai Zhou collapsed on the ground and muttered to himself, he never thought that the dignified army of 80,000 would be defeated by 20,000 people in the Shibata Military Region. And it seems that there is no power to fight back at all.

And as the shouts of killing became louder and louder, a thought suddenly popped up for him, "Am I going to die here today?!" It's just that as soon as this idea came up, he immediately rejected it, "No! I can't die! I can't die here! That's right! Fall back! Fast! Pass my orders! Retreat now! Qili Lai Zhou stood up and shouted loudly.

Hearing this, Shanpu Xuanren on the side suddenly became anxious, "Acting official! If we retreat at this time, then our army will really be completely defeated! And not only will they be defeated, but they will also die a large number of believers! "Shanpu Xuanren is not a brainless guy like Qili Lai Zhou, although he also wants to withdraw, but how can he withdraw at this time?

Moreover, at this time, Wadayama Castle had been recaptured by the Oda army, and the only place they could withdraw seemed to be to cross the Tetori River again. The water level of the Tetori River is now high and the current is fast, and many people have already drowned when they came, and if they fled in a hurry, I am afraid that most of the believers will be drowned. After all, the Oda Army will not have any humanitarianism, and watch them leave.

"I said retreat! Don't you understand?! Hurry up and retreat! Qili Lai Zhou roared loudly, "As for those untouchables, let them fend for themselves?!" ā€

After shouting, Qili Lai Zhou didn't care whether Shanpu Xuan Rentong agreed or not, and directly ordered the withdrawal of the army, so that those monks and soldiers could protect him and withdraw to Tetori River. And Qili Lai left on Monday, and the other wealthy families and officials looked at each other, and also followed silently with the flags and monks around them. If they could live, who would want to die? As for those believers......

"They died for my Buddha, and when they are safe, they will have a grand transcendence ceremony." They comforted themselves so much in their hearts.

"......" Sugipu Xuanren fell silent as he watched the people who kept leaving, at this time his heart was extremely struggling, he also wanted to leave, but he knew that even if he left, he would also be questioned by Qili Lai Zhou when he returned to Kanazawa. But if you don't withdraw......

Looking up at the chaotic battlefield, countless Ichikoji sect followers fled in panic in the direction of Tetorigawa, and behind them, the Oda family hung behind them like ducks. Although the number of troops was several times smaller, the Oda army actually faintly surrounded the Ichisho army, leaving only Tetorigawa in one direction for them to retreat.

Seeing this, how could Sugi Pu Xuanren not know what Oda Jun thought? "Hehe, it seems that from the beginning, Hetian Mountain City was just a trap." Shanpu Xuanren thought secretly in his heart. Now, if he couldn't understand the tricks of the Oda Army, he would have really been in the troubled times for so many years.

But what can he do? And Qili Lai Zhou has already taken people away, even if he can do something, why should he do it? The general of the sect?

"At least in the end, let me die like a general...... "Sugipu Xuanren thought sadly, then took out a short knife from his arms, and just knelt down in the chaotic battlefield and committed suicide.

Qili Lai Zhou ran away with people, and Shanpu Xuanren also committed suicide by cutting his abdomen, in this case, how can the army have the possibility of turning the tables? In fact, no one is fantasizing about a turnaround. More and more Yixiang Sects joined the ranks of retreat, especially after seeing the banner of this formation fall, the last trace of persistence in their hearts was also thrown out of their minds.

Fleeing seems to be the only ending for the army at present.

"Quick! Hurry up! Retreat to the side! Kanamori shouted anxiously. Well, Ichijo Sect fled according to their plan, and it was still in the direction of starting to take the river. But the problem is, they're on this route at this point.

Seeing more and more Yijun rushing towards his side with hideous expressions, even Sakuma Morima, who was known as Oni Xuanfu, couldn't help but change his face. Hedging against a group of fierce troops, Sakuma Morimasa would not frown, but at this time, when facing the Ichijang who wanted to flee for his life, he was intimidated.

In fact, all Jinsen was instigated when they approached, after all, if they ran to block the road without opening their eyes at this time, it was completely conceivable what the fate would be. Rabbits bite when they are in a hurry, not to mention tens of thousands of crazy people with weapons in their hands to survive?

So almost at the same time as Kanamori gave the order, the Oda army began to kill the nearest open space, they didn't want to be turned into meat by this group of madmen just after making a contribution.

Tens of thousands of followers of the Mukai sect continued to flee towards the Tetori River, and the troops of Kanamori Nagakin and others rushed to the Tetori River like ducks after converging with the troops of Shibata Katsuie. At the same time, a certain amount of troops were also assigned to defend the left and right sides. Although there were few people, the Yixiang army at this time obviously did not have time to deal with the enemies on both sides, in fact, as long as there was no one in front of them, they would not care about other places at all.

Soon after, they arrived at the Tetori River and began to scramble for rafts and boats. The Oda army, which was following behind, continued to attack from their rear, driving them towards Tetori Kawauchi.

"Go on the offensive! Dare to take all of them down! Shibata Katsuie ordered loudly. He didn't have any idea of mercy on his men, even though he looked very pitiful at this time. And the same is true of his retainers, but they don't think much of it, they just regard the army as a myriad of escaping feats.

And this onslaught finally caused those who had not been able to grab it, or who had not had time to cross the river by boat or raft, to start jumping off the turbulent river and trying to swim over. It's just that their ideas are very good, but the reality is very cruel, no matter how good the water is, in such a turbulent river, it is just a few more flutters. But this situation did not stop the army from rushing into Tetorigawa, after all, jumping in may not be dead, but if they don't jump, they will die. At this time, the Ichixiang army had already been killed by the Oda army, and they didn't have the courage to raise their weapons and kill back.

I don't know how long it took, but the screams on the Tetori River gradually became smaller, and the bright blood stained the Tetori River red, and a large number of corpses made the turbulent river also sluggish, 1000? 5000? 10,000? 20,000? No one knows exactly how many people were buried in this river, but it is clear that after this battle, it is unlikely that Kaga Ichijomune and the Uesugi family will attack Echizen together.

"Everyone, rejoice in victory!" Shibata Katsuya shouted with a broadsword held aloft.

"Whoa, whoa!"
