The swastika flag of Honganji Temple is on the broken rock, and it is weakly crooked.

Shimoma Yorizhao leaned against a corner, barely opened his eyes, and woke up from a coma.

When he looked down, his monk's robe was covered in blood.

His first reaction was to grab the razor in his hand, barely support it, and stared blankly at the improvised sheltered city.

The smell of blood was everywhere now, and the sounds of fighting still echoed in my ears.

Shimoma Lai Zhao took a heavy breath, waved his hand and refused the support of the two white-robed monks beside him.

After recovering his gaze, Shimoma Yorisho slowly looked left and right, and there were more than a dozen believers of the Yixiang Sect who could fight around him, standing on the side, waiting for his orders.

Just yesterday, the main force of the Shibata Army launched a fierce attack on Takeda, the Ichisune coalition army, and on the front of Ichizamune, it fought hard for a day to desperately resist the offensive of the Shibata army, but in the night attack of the Shibata army.

During hand-to-hand combat, he was accidentally knocked unconscious by a samurai of the Shibata Army, and he didn't remember anything after that.

Shimoma Lai Zhao asked the monks and soldiers beside him, "How is Master Lianqin's side?" ”

The monk soldier sighed and said, "Last night, the city where Master Lianqin was located was already broken by the Shibata army and martyred. ”

Shimoma Lai Zhao couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, he had the ambition of Kaga and Echichu to integrate the sect, and the abbot of Ruiquan Temple in Echichu, Honganji Renqin, had always been his mortal opponent, and he was against him openly and secretly, making him unable to succeed.

Now that Renqin is dead, he should be a little happy, but now the entire Kaga Echichu Tsunemu has reached the point where the West Mountain is declining, and if he loses in this battle with the main force of the Shibata army, then everything will be over.

"Amitabha, Master Rinchen defends the Dharma. It is a blessing to have passed away in bliss. ”

Shimoma Lai Zhao showed a little smile on his face, and his calm expression temporarily infected the monks and soldiers present, and the believers, all of them saluted together, but prayed for the death of Lianqin.

Lai Zhao said in a deep voice: "Disciples, today's battle. It is not only a Buddha's difficulty, but also a time when we seek liberation, get rid of samsara, and ascend to bliss. ”

Listening to the words of Lai Zhao in the next room, the believers and monks of the sect have been greatly boosted.

"Take a break and get ready to kill!"

Shimoma Lai Zhao spoke, threw off the monk's robe and strode onto the arrow turret, while the rest of the followers of the Yixiang Sect bandaged their wounds and prepared to fight again.

Lai Zhao walked to the arrow oar and looked down. First of all, there are more than a dozen castles on the right flank of the Oyama Imperial Workshop, which is guarded by Ichimune, in the bitter battle with the Shibata army yesterday. Most of them have been breached.

Seven miles Yorishu, who was with Shimoma Yorisho and guided Kaga, was taken by Maeda Toshiie, the general of the Oda family, in yesterday's battle, and his head was hung high in the camp of the Shibata army.

In fact, in yesterday's offensive, the Shibata Army did choose the weaker side of the sect disciples as a breakthrough.

Although the disciples of the Zong have always been in the battle yesterday, under the inspiration of the Buddha's name. Showing unprecedented courage, Ben resisted the onslaught of the Shibata army for a day, but in the end, the combat strength was still inferior to the Shibata army.

Nearly in case the most staunch believers of the Xiang Sect. Yesterday they all died under the butcher's knife of the Shibata Army.

Corpses were piled up everywhere.

"Decades of Kaga's hard work have been ruined!" Shimoma Lai Zhao couldn't help but sigh, and when he turned his head to look in the direction of the Yufang of the Tail Mountain, the vast group of monks and temples had already emitted black smoke that soared into the sky several times.

Countless monks who donated and offered themselves to the temple were stricken and turned into smoke and dust in the fire. …,

Seeing this, Lai Zhao couldn't help but kill these sword-wielding Shibata soldiers one by one under the knife, but at this moment, he was a little bit weak.

What's even worse is that Sasa Narumi of the Shibata Army attacked Komaru again.

When watching Shibata Jun's ashigaru kill Komaru, Shimoma Yorisho despaired.

He has no way out, and if Komaru is lost, the power of the sect will completely collapse.

The last nearly 100 monks and devotees of Komaru, encouraged by the bliss of Shimoma Yorisho's death, rushed out with razors, wooden sticks, and crude iron cannons to fight with the Shibata army in the narrow doorway.

Under the counterattack of Ichijomune, the Oda army suffered casualties and was driven out of the city gate for a time.

However, at this time, Sasa Naruma transferred a large number of iron cannons from the rear.

These iron cannons held the iron cannons lightly and aimed them at the disciples of the Yixiang Sect who rushed towards them, and the burning fire ropes sizzled.

Shimoma Lai Zhao wanted to remind these disciples to retreat into the doorway, but suddenly, he held the words in his mouth, and a terrifying smile appeared on his face.

Bang!

Under the volley of iron cannons, more than a dozen disciples of the Sect of the First Sect fell to the ground, while the disciples of the Sect of the First Sect behind them were red-eyed and rushed forward as if they were not afraid of death.

At this time, the second row of iron cannons of the Oda Army stepped forward.

Three-stage shot!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

After a few rows of guns, there was no longer a single member of the Sect standing in front of the doorway.

After that, more than a dozen gunmen of the Shibata Army raised their spears lightly and stepped forward, regardless of whether the disciples of the Sect on the ground had any breath left, they were poked with a shot, and blood was splashed everywhere!

And at this time, on the top of Komaru, there was a sudden sound of terrible laughter.

Sasa Narumasa looked up and saw a long-standing Zongfang official laughing on the arrow.

Sasa Narumasa naturally knew that the other party was the general director of Kaga Ichijomune, whether it was to capture this person alive or kill him, it was of great value to Shibata Jun.

At that moment, Sasa Naruma dismounted, holding a wooden staff, and entered Komaru with more than 20 guards close to him.

If it is true, the believers of the sect who have just rushed out of the door are the last strength in the wall, and now they are either old and weak, or wounded soldiers.

After Sasa Chengzheng walked into the doorway, he looked at these people with a silent expression, looking at his group of heavily armed intruders, and said nothing.

A cruel smile appeared on the corner of Sasa Narimasa's mouth, and as soon as he pressed his hand, the samurai around him stepped forward and slashed with a sword.

Amidst the blood all over the ground and the wails of the dead from time to time, Sazo Chengzheng limped under the arrow, looked at Lai Zhao Shimoma, and asked, "Is it surrender or death?" ”

Shimoma Yorizhao, who was covered in blood, looked at Sazo Chengzheng and smiled indifferently, and asked rhetorically, "Is there a difference?" ”

Zuo Zuo Chengzheng looked back left and right, looked at the corpses all over the ground, and said, "Indeed, you are not the only one." ”

Just as he was waiting for Sasashi to order the killing of Shimoma Yorisho, he suddenly saw that Shimoma Yorisho had an extra torch in his hand for some time.

Seeing the other party's smile full of satisfaction, and the smell of fire and gunpowder mixed in the blood, Zuo Zuo Chengzheng suddenly felt terrified.

Shimoma Lai Zhao smiled and said: "Lord Zuozuo, goodbye under Huang Yu Spring!" ”

"Run!" Sasa turned around and yelled at his subordinates.

Bang!

From the small pill, the earth-shattering explosion suddenly made the people in the battle suddenly turn around.

On the Shibata Army's main front, Shibata Katsuya was looking at the small pill that was burning with fire after the collapse not far away. …,

Shibata Katsuya immediately turned his head and asked loudly, "What's going on?" What is Sasa Naruma doing? ”

Just as Shibata Katsuya was shouting angrily, an envoy rode a fast horse and galloped over.

He turned over and knelt down in front of Shibata Katsuie, and said: "Reporting to the lord, I have always had a general of Sokaga Yoshito, and in the small pill, he detonated the hoarded fire medicine, and Sasa Narimasa and dozens of samurai of the family died together in the bar. ”

"Lord, our army has captured Komaru."

"Bastard, this idiot is dead, and he actually broke one of my generals."

Shibata Katsuya waved his hand and said: "That's it, the power of the sect has collapsed, and the order will go down, he Maeda and they don't have to attack the sect anymore, transfer the troops, and give me the Takeda army, I want to take the Oyama Imperial Workshop as soon as possible." ”

"Do you hear that? I'm going to take down Oyama Yubo as soon as possible! Shibata Katsuie roared angrily.

"Oh!"

More than a dozen envoys agreed at the moment, so they rode on their horses and gave orders to the various units of the Shibata Legion in the fierce battle.

Shibata Katsuya stared at the fierce battle above the Oyama Imperial Workshop, and whispered: "Li Zheng, now that the Yizong has collapsed, you are unable to support it alone, how many things do you have with your father, how long can you support my Shibata Gonrokuro's attack?" ”

In front of Shibata Katsuie, Oyama Gobo, which had always been the head of Sokaga, was not really a castle, it was not a fortified castle, and although the Takeda army had built a temporary defensive position here, it could not be defended like a castle at all.

However, the Takeda Army's tactics were very strange, and they did not attack, but blindly defended behind the simple fortifications, which made Shibata Katsuya feel a little uneasy in his heart.

Just when Shibata Katsuya was paying attention to the battle situation against the Takeda Hida Echichu Army on the Oyama Imperial Workshop.

At this time, a monomi rushed to Shibata Katsuya and reported to him loudly: "Report to the lord, something is wrong, less than twenty miles away from the Oyama Imperial Workshop, I found the Takeda Army Riding Horse Legion. ”

"Takeda Cavalry? How many people? Shibata Katsuie's eyes widened.

The monomi swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "I don't know, a lot, at least hundreds of riders." ”

Shibata Katsuya shouted: "This is the elite of the Takeda Army, the sun and the moon, bastard, isn't this stationed in Matsukura Castle?" What is Kenshin Uesugi doing? ”

Shibata Katsuie's anger was not over, when another monomi rushed to Shibata Katsuya and reported, "My lord, something is wrong. ”

Shibata Katsuya didn't laugh angrily when he saw this, and said, "It's a big deal again, say!"

Seeing Shibata Katsuie's strange expression, this person immediately said: "Report to the lord, in the Kurigara Mountain at the junction of Kaga and Vietnam, the main force of the Takeda Army reinforcements was discovered. ”

"On the flag seal are the generals of the Takeda family, Katsu Shima, Kinoshita Hidenaga, and Li Xiao, the retired head of the Takeda family."

"Li Xiao?" Shibata Katsuya asked incredulously.

"Yes, my lord, the Uesugi family has confirmed this news, and it was Li Xiao's shadow warrior who was attacked before."

"Liar, Li Xiao, a liar, actually cheated to death!" Shibata Katsuya finally came to his senses at this moment.

Shibata Katsuie looked at Oyama Gobo, who was immersed in the flames of war, and was terrified.
