After watching on the west bank of Fujichi for a few days, this Xiang Yi army thought that it had seen through the bluff of the Kira family, and swaggered out with an army of 40,000 people, and bravely responded to the Viet Cong army that had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Katsukoji Yuncheng immediately sent the most profitable official Ishida Inaba Mamoru , who was the younger brother of Ishida Yasuyomori who was killed by the Kira family, and learned that his brother died tragically in Echigo Kasuga Mountain Castle in front of hundreds of thousands of people, and the hatred for the Kira family was strong in his heart, and when he saw Yamamoto's 15,000 troops, it was natural that the enemy was very angry when he saw each other.

With Shengxing Temple with 5,000 main forces to launch a fierce attack on the army, I have to say that the so-called main force of Shengxing Temple still has extraordinary strength, most of them are composed of the national army from the Yuezhong Fangguan, and a small number of them come from the brave and strong men in the crowd, and they have already had the strength of the main force of the Warring States Daimyo for many years, which is also an important reliance on Shengxing Temple Yuncheng to dominate Yuezhong.

Ishida is not afraid of death because of the flag, the division of five thousand tigers and wolves is indomitable, and he actually pulls back the situation that is gradually retreating, it is difficult to attack from the bottom of the mountain to the mountain, and the three formations are broken and can also pull the laymen back to the evenly matched, and this ability is enough to prove that Shengxing Temple Yuncheng has been in Viet Nam for more than 20 years is not a wasted person.

Yamamoto Tokiyuki, who served as the commander-in-chief, sat on the top of Tateyama Mountain, more than 100 meters high, and smiled and did not say a word during the whole war, but handed over the command to his apprentice, Yumitsu Numata, who served as the military commissioner. This is a great trust in him, but it also puts a lot of pressure on him. For the general, if he can't even bear the weight of the battle array. How can tens of thousands of soldiers be brought to ensure the safety of one side?

Giving him the opportunity was to let him work hard to grasp it himself, from the cage battles of Matsukura Castle and Uozu Castle, to the siege battles of Yusho Castle, Koide Castle, and Toyama Castle, and then to today's field battles at the foot of Tateyama Mountain, all of which were honed for him again and again, but fortunately, his performance was very good and he successfully completed the tasks assigned to him.

Numata Yumitsu patiently adjusted the military formation, and put some of the countrymen who were scheduled to be sent to the front to be cannon fodder on both wings. In his opinion, this war was a fixed war fought at a given time and in a given place, and this kind of mechanical command had no sense of accomplishment, because before the war his master had already calculated everything to the bones.

However, it was also the first time he commanded tens of thousands of troops, and he was still very excited about the complicated military affairs and the decisions made when facing the enemy's command. After trying to endure this feeling of powerlessness, after the initial changes in the hurry, I gradually felt a little more handy.

This war is an established defensive. Since you want your side to win with one blow, you have to let the other side decline and exhaust it, Numata Yumitsu's coping strategy is very good to protect the left and right wings that are attacked head-on, whenever the two wings of the National People's Army are facing the crisis of collapse, there will always be special teams to rush over in time to support, and the appropriate reinforcements can just resist the crazy attack of the army and leave some spare strength.

It's like playing with a wicker stick, every time when the puppy finds out that it is about to bite the target, the wicker gently turns to the other direction, and in this way the attack is in vain, and every time the army sees the dawn of victory, it is rushed by the reinforcements on the mountain, as if a bucket of cold snow water makes them cool from beginning to end.

In the whole four days, the Vietnamese and Central Legions have always paid nearly 4,000 lives without making any progress, so that they have successfully consumed more than 3,000 lives of the Vietnamese Central Army, and they have also crippled the 5,000 troops of Shengxing Temple Yuncheng, and the Shenbao Army that is responsible for the left flank attack has also been worn out more than 1,000 lives, but they should not even touch the edge of the main formation on the mountain.

Seeing that the casualties of the battle for a few days were not counted but had no effect, not only the chief of the god was in a hurry, but even the Yuncheng of Shengxing Temple and the Ruiquan Temple were also like ants on a hot pot and were in a hurry.

Just when the Ichichi army saw that it was impossible to retreat slowly, the woods on the slopes on both sides of Tateyama suddenly killed 5,000 troops, and the generals on the left and right were Saito Asanobu and Kakizaki Keijia, who were the first people in the seven counties of Echigo today, and once again joined forces with the first person in the seven counties of Echigo, giving the Ichichi army a head start.

The two thousand black dragoons of the Saito army on the left flank slaughtered the main formation of Katsukoji Yuncheng like a wolf and slaughtered it, but the Shengxing Temple army, which was tossed to half-crippled by a whole day of fighting, was beaten without the power to fight back.

This throw came suddenly, if it was an ordinary samurai, he would definitely die in Huangquan, but he didn't want Saito Asanobu to see the fat monk with a meaty face rushing over early, on the surface facing the wanton slaughter of the Shengxing Temple army, but in fact, he was a little vigilant in his heart, and when he caught a glimpse of the monk throwing out something he had never seen before, he subconsciously turned sideways and narrowly avoided this thrilling throw.

This flying Lao passed by and fell into the army of Shengxing Temple behind him, and it was very unfortunate to hit Ishida Inaba Mamoru who was rushing here, and smashed the head of this general like a broken watermelon, and half of the three days and moon pockets were lifted, revealing the red and white splashes everywhere in the head, and the fierce general under his command did not die in the hands of the black dragoon, but accidentally fell under the secret weapon of his own lord, which was really harmful to others and himself.

The only opportunity has been lost, but the courage of Shengxing Temple Yuncheng has also dispersed like the crooked iron, and then seeing this angry Saito rushing towards the Shin Ce horse, the cowardice in his heart can't help but add three points, but the self-esteem accumulated in the past twenty or thirty years does not allow him to flee in embarrassment like a coward, and he has the courage to shout and rush forward, relying on his strength to pick up the cast iron Zen staff and smash it.

The collision between the cast-iron Zen staff and the large body gun provoked a string of sparks. Saito Asanobu fired his big gun and fired his life-threatening blow. He's got a knack for blocking. But it's not the iron bridge hard horse to erect a big body gun and eat hard, so even if he is not afraid of the slightest can sit down and the war horse will suffer, it is not worth it to be shocked by the huge force and suffer internal injuries.

He just drove the big gun with both hands, and unloaded the huge force of the cast iron Zen staff to the side with an oblique lead, and he could easily dodge this blow, Shengxing Temple Yuncheng never expected that this fierce blow like wind and fire could be easily blocked, and he threw out all his strength to smash the cast iron Zen staff on the ground on the side with the sound of the "whine" wind, and the body was irrepressible and almost fell off the horse.

Shengxing Temple Yuncheng secretly screamed badly. Only had time to raise his fat head, he saw a dazzling white light flash in front of him, and a huge head rose into the sky with a gun in his hand, and it was not until that moment that Katsukoji Yuncheng saw that it was a bright light in the afterglow of the evening sunset, which was the flash of Saito Asanobu's spear blade.

"Enemy general! Katsukoji Yuncheng was taken by my Saito Asanobu! ”

The form on the battlefield changed, and the army of Shengxing Temple immediately collapsed, and the panicked Shengxing Temple Rongrong rode his mount and accidentally bumped into the muzzle of Saito Asanobu's gun, and the two horses staggered one by one, and the white light flashed a young head and rose into the sky, and a high-pressure water gun with blood splashed out. Saito Asanobu raised his big gun and carried the corpse of Katsukoji Hiroi, and hissed and laughed wildly to let go of a great demon king.

The terrifying laughter frightened the army, and all the hearts and galls of the army were broken. The martial arts champion Katsukoji Yuncheng in Yuezhong, and Ishida Inhatamoru The death of this army brought a major blow to the morale of this army, and the sudden death of Katsukoji Eiei made them have no meaning to continue to stay and fight, and then see this black-armored general like a terrifying demon king, and his ghost-like face seems to be his hideous face.

"Demons! The evil ghost Yaksha crawled out of hell! Run away, everyone! "The remnants of the Shengxing Temple army were completely defeated, they cried and struggled to escape, many people present firmly believed that this must be the legendary demon crawling out of the Yellow Spring, they actually provoked such a group of monsters, even the brave and invincible general was killed, who else in the world can resist such an existence?

At the same time, at the other end of the battlefield, Kakizaki Keijia scattered the main force of the Jimbo Army, and after the slippery Jimbo chief saw that the situation was not good, he dropped one of his sects, the Jimbo clan, and broke it, this unlucky guy finally escaped the fate of being a prisoner of Toyama Castle, but was once again coaxed by his own clan to seize Toyama Castle, which is called remembering to eat and not remember.

The one who ran with more than 2,000 remnants of the Shenbao chief was called a fast, and he withdrew without even saying hello, worried that the Kakizaki Jingjia would target him, and he deliberately threw away the banner and instructed a few henchmen to retreat to Masuyama City with a few military forces, and the ancestral running talent of the Shenbao family exploded at this moment, and it really let this swimming fish run away again.

Kakizaki Keijia used all his strength to strike but pounced, and the Kakizaki Keijia who responded to the battle after the break was frightened by Kakizaki Keijia's legs were soft and his mouth was bitter, and he trembled for a long time when he just wanted to shout out surrender, but he was poked by the annoyed Kakizaki Keijia with a shot in the heart, and "poof" a decline The horse struggled unwillingly a few times and swallowed the last breath.

More than 1,000 broken rear troops from the Shenbao Army were killed by the Kakizaki Jingjia in just a moment, and then the ashigaru on the replacement was harvested in war, and the clever Ashigaru army Ashigaru knelt down and surrendered, and all the stupid heads went to hell, this flank army was exposed by the Ruiquanji Army that was in charge of the Chinese army, and he gathered nearly 30,000 main forces in his hands, of which there were less than 500 people with war horses, most of them were ashigaru running on two legs, and armed people who carried their own rake and counted as a "soldier".

Ruiquan Temple Xiu Xiu's military strategy level is really miserable, at most it is similar to Shengxing Temple Yuncheng's newly dead son Shengxing Temple Rong, belongs to the kind of mouth that says the head is the way, really let him ask him how to arrange the troops and start catching chickens, Shengxing Temple Yuncheng did not let him serve as the main attack of the two wings is also worried that his level will trap himself in, so it is better to stay in the Chinese army to stabilize the army's heart, as long as the two wings open the situation and let him lead the army to keep up.

This arrangement is also very reasonable, so that the main force of Shengxing Temple Yuncheng is not afraid even if it is disabled, as long as it retreats to the Chinese army and takes over the command, it can still stabilize the position, maybe it can also hold the key point of the Yuezhong Army to rush forward and chase and fight, it can still play a role in opening up the situation, but the helpless thing is that although the military strategy is good, who will command the general when he dies? Ruiquan Temple is obviously not good.

He knew that he couldn't do it, and his son Zuiquan Temple Zhun Xuan was even more ignorant of military affairs. In addition to having nothing to do, compete with Shengxing Temple and be competitive. I was thinking about how to get a few girls from the countryside to sleep with me all day long. The army went out with a few concubines dressed as men to fight in the army, and if you can't rely on others, you can only rely on yourself, but can you rely on yourself?

Ruiquan Temple's reaction was very slow, so slow that the Shenbao army withdrew from the battlefield before reacting, the first reaction would be "how did the Shenbao chief run", he didn't know at all that he missed the best time to retreat, and so on for a quarter of an hour when the Shengxing Temple army was defeated on all fronts, and a large group of ashiki crying fathers and mothers fled before he realized that he was defeated.

The routs on both sides rushed and scattered the tight formation of the main formation at the foot of the mountain. You can't kill your own routs, if you don't kill them, can you let them go? Do you feel frightened by the terrified faces stained with blood, and are you worried to hear their incoherent cries and shouts? It is inevitable that the morale of the military will be shaken.

The worst thing is that Ruiquan Temple Rongxiu did not come up with any countermeasures, and watched a group of routs attack their formation, neither allowing the formation to open a gap and let people enter, nor ordering to kill the rout soldiers who attacked the formation, but just explained to a group of fangguan Nene, who was in a hurry: "The Chinese army at the foot of the mountain can't see the changes in the battle formation on the slope, and only hears a fierce fight and screams, which can't be blamed on the poor monks!" ”

One of the "two generals" of Shengxing Temple, Yun Cheng is different, and the total collapse of the entire army of Shengxing Temple is an ironclad fact. Without his long-time partner Shengxing Temple Yuncheng as a deterrent, where would the officials still be afraid of this weak old monk. The hatred and anger that had been building up for years erupted.

In an instant, the crowd was agitated, and dozens of samurai cheered to surround Ruiquan Temple, and on the spot, an official pointed at his nose and scolded angrily: "Don't blame you, who do you blame?" Do you blame us samurai for not having a color and not reminding you that you can't do it! You're not as good as my youngest son! How many bad things you have done with your bastard son over the years, enslaving our officials like cattle and horses, how many of our relatives have lost their lives in Ruiquan Temple, and how many wives and daughters have been ruined in the hands of your own father and son! I can't wait to eat your flesh and drink your blood to quench my hatred! ”

The old monk was frightened by a group of angry officials, and the humiliation of being pointed at his nose and spitting on his face made him angry and anxious, pointing at them and saying a few "you" in a row but couldn't say it anymore, his baby son Ruiquan Temple Zhun Xuan was squeezed out of the circle and couldn't even surround him, he saw that his old father was scolded and couldn't raise his head, of course he was angry and anxious, but this guy didn't dare to do anything, and he couldn't do anything.

There are only 3,000 people in their Ruiquan Temple, and the military strength accounts for only one-tenth of the 30,000 troops, and their Ruiquan Temple is not known for its strong military strength, and the overall level is the general level of the Chinese army.

"Huh! San Lang Hachiro don't be angry about this old thing, this old thing is about to be finished, let's run away quickly is the right thing! Just leave them in Ruiquan Temple, how about after this break? ”

"Good! I support! "I agree!" "I agree!"

In a short period of time, a group of officials made a decision, and then left the ruiquan temple who stumbled and fell and scattered, and the ruiquan temple zhun xuan came over to help his father at this time, and scolded the backs of the officials who were gradually dispersing: "A group of ungrateful bastards, without our protection, they would have died in the hands of the big one!" ”

Ruiquan Temple Rongxiu looked at his son who was still scolding, and couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart, and pushed his arm away and scolded: "What are you still doing here?" You also heard their plan just now, do you want to go to hell to accompany Yun Cheng and Rong Rong father and son? Don't hurry up and retreat! ”

"Yes, yes! Boy, go now! "Ruiquan Temple Zhuxuan ran out with both hands and feet to pass the order.

In the face of the assault of Saito Asanobu and Kakizaki Jingjia's two sharp knives, more than 30,000 of them had only one idea of escaping, and the situation that had a slight upper hand for four days suddenly became a one-sided situation, and 30,000 people retreated together, and all the officials wanted to run faster than others.

The army of Ruiquan Temple also wanted to squeeze down the mountain and retreat, and for a time the mountain road leading to the direction of Tonba County was crowded together by tens of thousands of troops, and the scene of tea kung fu became out of control in a short time. Seeing this, Saito Asanobu and Kakizaki Keijia also laughed. The Viet Cong Corps on the hill was not in a hurry. The two cavalry went directly from the side of the mountain road and tried to make dumplings.

Numata Yumitsu, who was sitting on the top of the mountain, saw all these changes clearly, and when he looked back at his master Yamamoto, he didn't say anything at all, so he frowned and ordered: "The order is to inform Izumi Mamoru and Shimono Mamoru to outflank them properly, so as not to seek to annihilate them all, and don't hurt the root because of greed!" The generals of all teams were warned that when the whole army was assaulting, they must pay attention to the formation, not to rash the enemy, and not to chase after them endlessly. The poor man is too eager to chase it, and he can still trap the beast fight! It is not a pity that they have died, and the elite cavalry on both sides must not be lost. ”

The order was handed down, Saito Asanobu and Kakizaki Keijia also had to restrain the military and did not dare to charge wantonly, in fact, the status of the two in the Kira family was far above Numata Yumitsu, who was still a hairy child, and a military commission could not explain anything at all, but this general order was issued in the name of the general Yamamoto Tokiyuki, and the military order was like a mountain.

The two of them also understand that it is a great risk to outflank and annihilate, just like the siege of the city must be que, when the defeated army in rout finds that the retreat is sealed and their remaining strength is not exhausted, they are likely to choose to take risks and fight to the death. In the eyes of the Kira family, these soldiers are a group of slag that is not worth dying, and it is barely worth using them to consume the unstable Vietnamese Chinese army. It's not worth it to consume your own sharp knives.

The slowdown in the offensive speed of the two cavalry did not mean that the attack of the main force on the mountain slowed down, and the main force on the mountain drove the defeated and retreating army down the mountain, and bit the Zuisenji army that was left behind all the way, Saito Asanobu and Kakizaki Keike also changed their strategy at this moment, giving up the attempt to outflank the front and completely annihilate the waist to cut off from the middle.

The 30,000 defeated troops are crowded together is simply more stupid than 30,000 pigs, and the pigs have to be captured and slashed one by one, these fools are crowded together to make people greedy for fat, the two cavalry are like two sharp knives to easily cut through the thick but simple defense line, and easily divide the 30,000 army into two, and the army that was divided outside has always been a smashing army desperately rushing to the front, without any scruples about the former hometown friends, the husband and wife are still compared to the same forest birds, and the same friends are not counted with the forest birds, they can't wait to hold up a sign to tell the cavalry of the Kira family, I'm just an innocent passerby.

The army that had been cut into the encirclement fell into despair and collapse, and some of the brave peasants desperately tried to break through the gap, and a few lucky ones were rushed out by him, and more of them disappeared like a wave crashing on a strong embankment, and in front of Echigo's most elite cavalry, they did not even have a chance to resist before they became the ghosts of the sword.

The orderly slaughter can be called a classic encirclement and annihilation, and all the ashigaru who did not give up their weapons were all turned into corpses, and Kira Yoshitoki issued a brutal "bloody edict" to the participants who had always been a beater, preferring to kill the wrong person than let it go, but if there was resistance, regardless of the old and the young, the followers of the Ishina sect who were unwilling to give up resistance would give them a chance to "die in bliss".

This lord of Echigo is extremely disgusted with the Ichijo sect, disgusted with their greed, disgusted with their disregard of the shogunate as if it were nothing, and even more disgusted with a group of religious madmen who dared to get involved in the world of the samurai.

The massacre lasted until the evening, because these desperate one-man army was really difficult, in order to prevent the cavalry from being damaged in this unskilled battle, Saito Asanobu and Kakizaki Keijia withdrew early, and handed over the follow-up massacre work to the 12,000 main forces of the Yuezhong Army.

In the end, there were only 5,000 troops willing to surrender, which could reach one-third of the total number of troops, and the remaining 10,000 people were all buried at the foot of the mountain, on the north bank of the vine pond, on an open ground, the red blood stained this small open land red, and the clear and quiet lake was also dyed red by the blood that overflowed.

After a whole day of fighting and half a night of slaughter, many samurai were tired and uncomfortable, and the repeated mechanical slaughter had to resist the resistance of the captives, the process was difficult and disgusting, and the bloody atmosphere rose in the silent night, attracting flocks of crows to peck at it, until the next day, after a simple inventory of more than a thousand sets of suitable armor and equipment, all the corpses were gathered and lit a mountain fire and burned into a pile of white bones.

The news of the fiasco of the defeat of the army in Vietnam and China has spread quickly throughout the land of Yuezhong like wings, Shengxing Temple Yuncheng, Rong Rong father and son died in Huangquan, Ruiquan Temple Yunru and Zhun Xuan also went to hell to reunite with their good brothers, Shenbao Changzhi immediately left a thousand main forces to escape to the limit, this war 40,000 troops went out, only less than 18,000 people came back alive, this battle is really miserable.

Following the news brought by the defeated army, the samurai of Echigo were described as demons crawling out of hell, and soon following the nickname of the Black Dragoon, this cavalry added the title of "Echigo Ghost Army", and the name of Saito Asanobu "Echigo Zhong Kui" was debunked under the spread of people with good intentions, and soon his name was processed into Echigo Ghost King by folklore, and brought the ghost army that crawled out of hell to punish Ichichu Jongjong.

Kakizaki Jingjia, who has been watching jokes, was unfortunately shot, and became the "first ghost general" under the guard of the "Echigo Ghost King", hearing this name almost blew up the Kakizaki Jingjia, he pulled Saito Asanobu and asked him viciously, why am I the first ghost general under you, can't you be the first ghost general under me, Saito Asanobu is in the front, and can only say with a bitter face that he is innocent, who called his nickname Zhong Kui?

This rout directly affected the resistance of the Yuezhong Sect, the lord of the fire palace castle, Jimito Shichiro, the castle of Saito Riki, the lord of the city of Kaiji Temple, the lord of Kojima Castle, the castle lord of Kojima Castle, and the castle lord of Kojima surrendered, and then Takao Castle and Takamine Castle also surrendered to the city, and the Yuezhong army entered the tiger and entered the sheep flock to conquer more than a dozen important branch cities one after another, and all the people in the county surrendered left and right, and the army entered the county of Sheshui non-stop.

Shoushan City Lord Shen Bao clan Zhang is unwilling to follow in the footsteps of his relatives Shen Bao clan Chun and choose to take the initiative to open the city and surrender, this city is lost and released to Shengjin City will be isolated, Fangsheng Jin City Lord Shen Bao Changzhong was forced to surrender, Shen Bao Changzhong can only shrink in Zengshan City trembling, he is desperate to find that the support he can rely on has completely disappeared, Yuezhong has always been a spine has been broken and cut off his retreat, now he is a lonely man, ready to face the invasion of the Kira army at any time.

The Jimbo Chief's frightened hiding in the Zengshan Castle Castle Tower has not come out for more than ten days, every news about the Kira Army's destruction of the city will make him nervous and unable to sleep all night, every news of submission will make him unable to eat, and it has only been half a month before the originally strong Jimbo Chief's thin entire human form has been shed.

"What the hell am I going to do? Do you really want me to submit to the Kira family? Is the hegemony that my Divine Protector family has longed for for for generations coming to an end in my hands? But I'm not reconciled! ”

The face of the chief of the god kept changing, his heart was still hesitating and struggling, suddenly there was a sound outside the castle tower, and the little surname outside the door whispered a greeting outside the door, and then pushed the paper door open a gap to see the chief of the god protection, and pushed the door in and reported softly: "The latest information of the water shooter, the Kira army once again slaughtered the people who tried to resist, they drove the people to the valley and set fire, and the entire valley was burned along with thousands of people of the first and first people, Subsequently, Yamamoto Tokiyuki, the commander-in-chief of the Kira Army, promulgated the ban on the unhindered Guangzhong in Vietnam, prohibiting the worship of the Yizong sect in Vietnam, prohibiting the monks of the Yizong sect outside the country from walking in Vietnam, and prohibiting anyone from going to the monastery of the Yizong sect. He also ordered the demolition of all the Yixiang Zonggaran in the territory of Viet Cong, and captured the monks of the Yixiang Zong, and sent them to Echigo. ”

"I didn't expect them to be so ruthless! The believers of the Sect are also human beings! They slaughtered like this without humanity, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were the Echigo Ghost Army...... Wait a minute! The priest suddenly stopped, jumped up very much, and repeatedly chanted: "Massacre the monks, ban the worship of the Orthodoxy, and demolish the Garan ......."

"There it is! The family is going to Kaga, and they are going to go to the great monk of Chaokatsuji Temple! The family wants revenge! Avenge the death of those who have always been wrong! The chief of the jimbo yelled hysterically with a hideous face, and his eyes were red and the little surname trembled like crazy fright, until he turned his face and ordered: "Prepare immediately, this family will go to Kaga!" Go see the great monk! (To be continued......)
