Chapter 424: The Battle of Tongmu

Jimbo Nagashi led 20,000 troops to attack from the Oyabe River in the west, and retreated to the east with more than 10,000 troops forced by Kaga's 10,000 troops to flee to the east, where more than 3,000 people in Saito Asanobu were pressing down on more than 8,000 Imashi Ichijo and couldn't raise his head.

Inspired by the vain reinforcements, he has always played his lifeless nature, shouting the Buddha number and rushing into the gun forest in the face of the rain of arrows, and he was not afraid to see a broken corpse hanging on the blade of the gun, but for a moment the stumps and broken arms and the internal organs of various colors were picked out by the sharp knife, and when it came to the technique of killing, these Kaga had always been a samurai army that was much worse than the elite samurai, and the protection of the array was twenty and one samurai would not want to replace the life of a samurai.

Chaosheng Temple Mizhao didn't expect to be picked up so quickly after leaving two thousand breaks, and he just wanted to shout in a hurry, but his dignity as a general did not allow him to lose his dignity, so he had to desperately urge the army to converge with the eight thousand broken armies, only waiting for the two armies to converge and gather nearly 20,000 troops, and maybe there was a chance to fight.

Saito Asanobu saw the more than 10,000 troops rushing in the distance, all of them looked panicked and the formation was scattered, and immediately dispatched a thousand cavalry to personally lead the army around the broken queen and rushed to Chaosheng Temple, and the monks in the army saw the murderous Saito Asanobu, and the frightened three souls and seven spirits flew out of the body, and some monks were so frightened that they trembled all over their bodies, their legs were as soft as noodles, and they fell off their horses and were trampled by the mounts that could not dodge behind, and they were trampled into meat after a while.

Chaosheng Temple Mi Zhao hurriedly shouted: "Quick! Divide a part of the cavalry to defend against the Saito army, and the rest of the army will converge with the main force of the poor monk and the special brigade! ”

But there are almost no people who are willing to die at this juncture. The brave officials were left behind. The rest of the officials are either greedy for life and afraid of death, or they are old and can't walk. As for the monks who don't know the military strategy, don't think about it, no one came out to answer the Chaosheng Temple Zhaozhao three times in a row, and forced him to be anxious and directly named the two officials to send them to death.

These two officials did not dare to disobey the order, but how could they be willing to be killed, so they reluctantly led the army to rush over and were scattered by a wave of Saito Asanobu's cavalry, which cost no less than two hundred lives in this time, which was a one-sided massacre, and the time they had won was less than half an hour.

Chaosheng Temple Mi Zhao was no longer in the mood to scold, and hugged the trembling Pranya Yuan Zhenru gritted his teeth and rushed to this broken rear special team, and when he led the remnants of the army to finally meet together. I couldn't find the two brothers Shengzhi and Shengli of Chaosheng Temple, and the Fang Guan cautiously pointed to the two strong corpses lying in the pile of corpses in the distance.

The two brothers were very unfortunate to run into Saito Asanobu, and the two brothers who were already at an average level in the immediate battle dared to dance the cast iron Zen staff to attack Saito Asanobu on both sides, and as a result, they were easily killed by two shots, and before the two powerful men of the Chaokatsuji Temple had time to cry for the death of the two right-hand men, the chief of the jimbo had already been killed from the west, and the Teruiji Temple gritted his teeth and decided to flee north, where he forcibly crossed the Yamada River and fled to the center of the Tonami Plain.

At this moment, there was a burst of military drumming on the bank of the Yamada River, and the rhythmic beat of the drum made the battlefield fall into a brief silence. Tens of thousands of pairs of eyes stared at the shadowy figure under the misty clouds on the bank of the Yamada River, and gradually the drumbeat of the military taiko drum became more and more heavy and powerful. Every beat of the drum seemed to make the pulse skip with it, and many people were alerted by the cold wind of the early morning.

I don't know when the cold morning breeze blew on his face, cold and damp like the hands of Chaosheng Temple Mi Zhao were cold and had no temperature at all, and the Pranya Temple he was pulling was even more scared and shivering when he leaned on him, Chao Sheng Temple Mi Zhao swallowed his saliva and prayed secretly: "God and Buddha bless!" It must be Sugiura Xuanren, and it is best to have the five thousand elites of the poor monks, it will be much easier to do with their support! ”

But he will soon be disappointed and quickly turn into despair, the strong morning wind blows away the mist on the field, revealing the black pressure on the shore of the Yamada River, there are more than 10,000 elites, they are dressed in black and black armor, and they are wearing Ashikaga Nichiji and Takewa Gosa, and it is the dragon of Echigo, Uesugi Masato, who stands in front of him with the authority of Iizuna.

The military drum suddenly stopped, Uesugi Masako gently rode out of the main formation, pressed his left hand wrapped around a long rosary on the scabbard at his waist, and gently pulled out his beloved Taidao Xiaodou Changguang with his right hand.

Raising the little bean in his hand high, he pointed at the stunned Kaga Ichichi and shouted, "Nan no Hachiman Great Bodhisattva!" Minami no Hachiman Great Bodhisattva! ”

"Minami no Hachiman Great Bodhisattva! Nan Mu Hachiman Bodhisattva ...... "Ten thousand black-armored samurai roared in a frenzy, like some kind of call remembered over and over again, evoking the long-standing memories accumulated in their blood, that memory that will never be extinguished.

Gradually, Kakizaki Keike pulled out the sword and roared loudly, Saito Asanobu raised his big gun and roared, and even the chief of the jimbo raised the sword and roared loudly, and the 20,000 troops behind him unconsciously shouted, over and over again as if it would never stop, and many samurai shouted hoarsely, with tears in their eyes and even crying bitterly.

The war suddenly and strangely stopped, and Kaga, who was surrounded on all sides, was like a rat blocked by a large group of raccoons, huddled in the center of the encirclement and did not dare to move in the slightest, not that they did not want to move but that the officials collectively fell into an irrepressible wavering, and the officials were also samurai, even if they were samurai who were rejected by the shogunate, but they also had ancestors who had followed the white flag of the "Nan Mu Hachiman Great Bodhisattva".

This Buddha horn carries not only the honor and disgrace of a family governor, but also a symbol of the glory of all the warriors in the world, they can be insensitive, cold-blooded and ruthless, but they can't deny that they are samurai, and they can't completely betray his class because of a geographical factor, without the protection of the samurai's skin, they are at most just ordinary peasant soldiers trembling with bamboo guns beside them, or maybe a nameless corpse lying in a stump and broken arm.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew down from the mountain from a completely different direction, and the howling mountain wind blew many steps backwards, but Uesugi Masata suddenly roared feverishly: "Listen! That's the voice of Hachiman Daibodhisattva! Listen to us! Hachiman Bodhisattva is responding to us! Hachiman Bodhisattva is bless us! Bless us with victory in this battle! ”

Uesugi Masato's words instantly raised morale from full to forced, the samurai yelled and vented their fanatical emotions, many young samurai were restless like gorillas with crazy hair, grinning wawa screaming eager to draw knives and rush over, as the restlessness of the Kira army became more and more intense, the morale of Kaga's army also poured to the bottom.

The Kira army roared frantically in all directions, and let out a roar like a tsunami: "This battle will be won!" Win! Winning ......"

“…… Great monks! Great monks! You're here to say something! Let's submit! This joint battle really can't be fought! A group of frightened monks surrounded Chaosheng Temple, chattering and completely ignoring the fact that there was not a trace of blood on his face.

"The whole army obeys the order! The front of the fight has always been a fight, but there is resistance to kill! With the order of Uesugi Masatora, tens of thousands of troops with high morale launched an assault at the same moment, and the wolf-like samurai fought for a more advantageous position, as if the enemy in front of them was their mortal enemy, eager to eat his flesh and swallow his bones.

Chaosheng Temple Mi Zhao wanted to give up desperately at that moment, but relying on him by his side of the Pranya Temple Zhenru made him very reluctant, and finally gritted his teeth and drank the whole army to resist in formation, and he took fifty horsemen to the north desperately fled, the monks and officials never expected that Chaosheng Temple Mi Zhao would abandon them at a critical moment, and under the mental breakdown, almost no action was torn to pieces by the stormy attack of the Kira army.

More than a dozen Kaga officials knelt down before the sword fell on their heads, they would rather surrender than die here in vain, abandoned by the Chaokatsuji Miteru between the two rivers and rivers to die meaninglessly, the Kaga present has always been a soldier who knows very well that his defeat is lost, and even the general can only escape with fifty horsemen, it is conceivable that the hundreds of thousands of troops will eventually be wiped out and become a waste.

Either die or surrender, even if they were captured by the exchange of Ichisumune afterwards, no one would blame them for their final choice to surrender when they returned to Kaga Country, 18,000 troops were killed on the spot, 6,000 were captured, and 12,000 were captured, of which more than 400 monks and soldiers who were abandoned by Chaokatsuji Temple, as well as all the monks and disciples were killed and did not survive, the former was to seek benevolence and die in the Benevolence Festival, and the latter wanted to surrender but the Kira army did not give a chance.

Fifty cavalry monks guarded the Chaokatsuji Temple, and their movements were uncertain, and they took advantage of the nearby groves to cover the Yamada River for a while and then to the Oyabe River, and finally went around to the Oyabe River in an attempt to cross the river from there, and went straight to Anyangji Castle, the gateway to the central and western part of Vietnam, but when they reached the Oyabe River, they found that there was no suitable ferry nearby, and in front of them was the confluence point of the Oyabe River and the Yamada River, and the many tributaries in the vicinity made the Oyabe River flow turbulent, and it was impossible to cross the river without boats.

Chaosheng Temple Mi Zhao pulled Prawakain really as if he stood in front of the small Yabe River in a daze, and then turned back and went south to find the ferry, it must be too late, the sound of iron hooves behind him gradually approached like a thunderbolt rumbling and shaking, fifty cavalry monks surrounded him to the left and right without moving, they are all Chaosheng Temple's own monks, reliable and loyal and impeccable.

Woken up by the sound of hurried iron hooves, Chaosheng Temple Mizhao suddenly realized that he was fleeing, and then looked back at the anxious faces, sighed and turned over and dismounted and walked to the bank of the river, pulled out the knife on his waist and looked at the beautiful Panruoin Zhenru, and said in a low voice: "The life of the poor monk will definitely not be kept, it is better to end it yourself than to be killed by them, after my death, you take my head and sacrifice it, for the sake of my head, they will definitely spare your life."
