Since he realized that something was wrong, he naturally wanted to remind the army, so Ryuzoji Takanobu rode a horse to Honganji Shangyi and said:

"Master, the road ahead is narrow, and you should be careful that the enemy is ambushing here, and you need to march carefully."

"Hmm. There is a point in that! Honganji Shangyi looked at the surrounding environment and immediately nodded in agreement. So he immediately gave the order to the army to advance slowly.

"Damn, I was actually recognized by the other party!" Not long after the momentum of the Honganji Shoyi's army slowed down, on a hill not far away, Akaike Nagahito also noticed the change in the strength of the Honganji Shoyi's army, and immediately complained. It turned out that they had indeed laid an ambush near the Zipo Shrine Pass, preparing to attack the forces of Honganji Shangyi.

"Not necessarily, it is estimated that there are wise and resourceful people in the opposing formation, and they have put forward a strategy of careful marching in such terrain." Maruki Yorumi on the side shook her head and said.

Maruki Yorumi, like Akaike Nagaren, is a fierce general of the Sagara family. Of course, in fact, his seven-year-old son Marume Zozo will be more familiar to future generations in the future. This Marumme Sasashi is the Marume Nagae who later became a protégé of Kamiizumi Nobutsuna, who was known as the Sword Saint.

"Regardless of whether the other party has seen through the ambush of their own family, if the other party maintains this formation and passes through the mountain road ahead, the ambush we are waiting for will be useless." Akaike Nagaren stared at Honganji Shangyi, who was riding on a horse, and said. Honganji Shangyi's figure was too fat, and coupled with riding on a horse, he was naturally quickly recognized by Akaike Nagahito.

"Since this is the case, there is only a hard fight, at this time, the army of the family is condescending, when playing against the other party. Nature is dominant. Maruki said. So the two of them combined. I immediately decided to show up early. Attack the military formation of Honganji Shoyi.

At this time, Honganji Shoyi was still discussing with Ryuzoji Takanobu that he should march from that route after entering the boundaries of Yatsushiro-gun. But suddenly there was a commotion from the front.

"What's going on?" Honganji Shoyi immediately asked.

"Ha Luha, thief, this is where you are buried. Kill me! Before his men could report back, a loud shout was heard in the distance. The person who drank was none other than Akaike Nagato.

"Huh? Damn it! "Honganji Shangyi hates others to scold him for being a thief, and when he heard Akaike Changren's poisonous scolding, he was almost not angry.

"Not good, Master. There is indeed an ambush ahead, and we must immediately adjust the formation in case the enemy line rushes down and disrupts our own camp. Ryuzoji Takanobu on the side immediately suggested.

While the two of them were discussing with Honganji Shangyi, the front army of Honganji Shangyi's army had already fallen into a bitter battle. A large number of arrows suddenly shot out from the mountains and forests, catching the front army by surprise.

On a hill not far away, Maruki Yorumi stood up, drew her heavy wisteria bow and fired an arrow into the crowd of enemy soldiers, shouting, "Aim! Get ready...... Put! ”

"Woo Woo Woo ......"

The howling sound of the arrows tearing through the air slashed through the air, and a dense array of arrows raised a beautiful arc in the air, shooting towards the oncoming Honganji Shangyi army less than thirty meters away.

"Kill the Buddha's enemy!" At this time, Honganji Shangyi also reacted under the reminder of Ryuzoji Takanobu, and immediately shouted loudly.

Monk soldiers and ashigaru are different. Most of them are devout believers, and if Ashigaru is suddenly ambushed. Many times they will break and flee, but the monks are different, these monks have faith in their hearts.

When the monks on the battlefield saw that Honganji Shangyi was on the front line of the battlefield, they were immediately greatly encouraged, and suddenly became more courageous, and they all rushed forward as fast as they could. Seeing that these monks and soldiers were so brave, the soldiers of the surrounding Hao clan who had taken refuge in the Yizong clan were also immediately greatly encouraged, and immediately joined the camp that rushed forward to kill.

"Hmph, the bald thief is trouble!" Seeing this, Akaike Changren in the distance immediately cursed.

Unable to take advantage of the favorable terrain to surprise the enemy, Akaike Nagaren and Maruki Yorumi had no choice but to immediately regroup their formation and fight against the army of Honganji Shoyi. The two armies suddenly formed a stalemate.

"Report, Sagara of Gulu City led a large army to arrive from the rear for Lord Qing." Just then, a samurai came to report. Hearing this, Akaike Nagaren and Maruki Yorumi immediately stood up and looked back at the other side of the Zipo Kamito. Sure enough, a group of troops under the banner of the Sagara division of Gulu City was rapidly approaching.

"Ha Luha, it's really good, with the support of Sagara for the Qing Lord, this time I will definitely be able to defeat the army of Honganji Shangyi." Akaike Changren Dalu said with a smile.

On the side, Maruki Yorumi also nodded and smiled in agreement. Previously, after receiving a report from Akaike Nagato that the culprit of the previous attacks on Takatsuka Castle was Ichijomune, Harukihiro Sagara immediately instructed Maruki Yorumi to fully cooperate with Akaike Nagaren's attack on Yatsushiro-gun Ichijomune. It's just that when Akaike Nagaren proposed to take the initiative to attack the Ichisho temple near the Zipo Shrine Pass, he had some objections. After all, the vicinity of Zipo Shentong is already the junction of Shimoyijo County and Yatsushiro County, which is the territory of the Ichisujong, and it is likely that the boat will capsize in the gutter if you are not careful.

It's just that while the two were arguing, a traveling merchant who claimed to be passing through Takatsuka Castle from Shimo-Masaki-gun took the initiative to provide them with information, that is, Kenshida Castle was gathering a large number of troops, and it seemed that he was preparing to come to Yatsushiro-gun. After learning this information, the two immediately sent someone to infiltrate the lower Yicheng County to investigate, and sure enough, they confirmed the information said by the traveling merchant who ran away after providing the information, and Honganji Shangyi obviously planned to come to retaliate, so there was an ambush for the two of them in Zipo Shentong today.

However, after a lot of calculations, they didn't calculate that there were such cautious and careful people in the military formation of Honganji Shangyi, so that their ambush plan had to be turned into a head-on battle plan. At this time, if Sagara Weiqing's army joined, then the prestige of their side would naturally increase greatly.

Just when Maruki Yorumi was thinking about it secretly, her face suddenly changed, and she exclaimed: "No, what the hell is Sagara doing here?" ”

Ren Wenyan, the chief of Akaike on the side, also looked in the direction that Marumi Yorumi was looking, and saw that Sagara Weiqing's army had launched an attack on their rear army after approaching the rear of the two of them.

"Huh? What's going on? ”

Both Akaike Nagato's side and Honganji Shoyi's side were taken aback by the sudden changes on the battlefield.

"Master, what are you waiting for at this time? Immediately launch a general attack, they are the strategy that the family has planted in it! Just when everyone was surprised, the mysterious person who had been wearing a mask and following Shangyi at Honganji Temple immediately reminded.

"What? Good. Good! Honganji Shangyi was first shocked when he heard this, and then immediately reacted, and immediately shouted at the main formation: "Everyone, our reinforcements are coming, kill me, kill these Buddha enemies for me!" ”

"Oh! Kill! Hearing that it was his own reinforcements, the army of Honganji Naoyi immediately boiled, and then shouted to kill the army of Akaike Nagaren and Maruki Yorimi. (To be continued......)
