Everything was as Masayo expected, less than an hour after the two sides started fighting, the Kikuchi family's side declined.

At noon on the 21st, Kikuchi Yoshitake already had the idea of withdrawing his troops and fleeing to the south bank of the Midorikawa River after receiving that the heads of the wealthy clans such as Mifune, Kosa, Yabe, Touse, Nangotani, Sugao, and Kokuni were either taken or disappeared.

Then, after receiving the news that Honganji Shoyi had also been begged to die, and that the Aishi family had turned against each other, Kikuchi Yoshitake gave the order to withdraw his troops.

Honganji Shoyi's death was partly caused by the instigation of Ryuzoji Takanobu who was in the same camp as him. Ryuzoji Takanobu seems to be planning to repeat the trick he used last time in the mother-in-law Kamito, and let Honganji Shoyi personally go to the front of the battle to encourage the soldiers, but before Honganji Shoyi can shout two sentences, he is attacked by the enemy on the opposite side with arrows, and finally dies tragically in front of the battle.

And the Hezhi family turned against each other, which was the last straw that crushed the elephant.

As Kikuchi Yoshitake took the lead in escaping, forces such as the Nawa family and the Kagoko family followed closely behind, and the Otomo family coalition forces behind them were in hot pursuit. A big battle turned into a pursuit war in an instant.

The two sides crossed the Midorikawa one after another, and then came to Kenshida Castle. Along the way, deserters continued to appear on the side of the Kikuchi family's coalition army, and when they came to the outside of Kenshida Castle, there were less than 300 soldiers still following Kikuchi Yoshitake. And the Otomo family, who was chasing closely, due to different physical fitness, although it still maintained the number of more than 800 people, it had already formed a serpentine formation along the road, which seemed sparse.

Originally, Kikuchi Yoshitake was going to enter Kenshida Castle and defend the castle, but Toji Kenren was chasing after him. As a result, Kikuchi Yoshitake had to temporarily set up a large array in front of Kenshida Castle. Fight again with the army of Toji Kanren.

At this time, Kikuchi Yoshitake's command was less than 300 people. However, most of them were brave warriors and the monks of the Ichijo sect who were bent on avenging the first Honganji Temple, and their combat effectiveness was quite strong, and at this time, all the defenders of Kenshi Tajo Castle also poured out to help, which suddenly boosted the morale of the coalition forces on the side of the Kikuchi family.

Tojiken suddenly felt a little anxious when he saw the enemies pouring in like a tide, and when he saw that samurai and ashigaru were constantly dying under his command. He really didn't expect that these guys, who were about to fail miserably, would suddenly burst out with such a strong combat power.

The Great Friendly Army is in the middle of the battle. Seeing that the battlefield was about to fall into a state of confrontation again, Toji Kanren really couldn't sit still, so he only heard Toji Kanren say: "When will the stragglers in the rear be able to keep up." ”

"My lord, I'm afraid it will take some time." Subordinates report.

"No, we must fight quickly, since the soldiers who have fallen behind in the rear have still not arrived, then I have decided to personally lead the flag of this formation to fight with it." When you have finished speaking, you have to stand up.

"By no means, the Lord is the body of ten thousand gold, and now the battlefield is in a state of intersection, but the family will definitely win. Please also take your own safety first. The subordinate immediately admonished.

Toji Kanren stood still and said, "Needless to say. In this battle, all these rebellions must be completely cut off. After speaking, he said: "Shiga Kantaka will continue to stay in this formation, and the rest will listen to the order and follow me forward to kill the enemy." After speaking, they walked out of the formation with a firm step, and a hundred bannermen followed closely behind, knowing in their hearts that in this battle, their task was not to cut off how many enemy heads, but to ensure the safety of the company no matter what.

When Toji Kanren led 100 banners into the battle, the retainers such as Imanda Kinmi, who was in the Otomo family, and the Ashigaru Lord personally went into battle, and their morale was greatly boosted. The situation on the battlefield suddenly gradually tilted towards the side of the Otomo family.

"This battle will determine whether the family can take the fat queen in one fell swoop, you show the enemy the bravery of the family, blow the conch horn, it's time for us to attack!" At this time, Masato stood on a hill near the battlefield, with his back to the sun, staring closely at the battlefield. When he had a premonition that the time had come to attack, he immediately ordered.

"Woo woo woo ......" Suddenly, a distant sound of the conch horn suddenly sounded above the battlefield.

"Kill! Kill! Burst their! "Under the leadership of the generals of the Luo family, more than 600 soldiers of the Luo family rushed like fierce beasts to the two sides of the Otomo family and the Kikuchi family who were fighting fiercely under the castle of Kenshida.

"This? What's going on? Both sides of the fierce battle couldn't help but be stunned by the scene that appeared in front of them.

"Huh? Look, that's the Luo family's flag! The sharp-eyed man immediately shouted.

"What? How is this possible? How did the Luo family's military strength appear here? Toji Kenren, who was directing his men to storm the Kikuchi family's main camp, exclaimed. For a moment, he thought of the possibility that the Kikuchi family and the Luo family would join forces to deal with the Otomo family again.

"My lord, it's the Luo family's military strength." Like Toji Kanren, the Kikuchi family's side was also surprised by the sudden appearance of the Luo family's military strength. As a general, Ryuzoji Takanobu also doubted in his heart whether Kikuchi Yoshitake had secretly joined forces with the Luo family.

Who knew that after seeing clearly that the old man was the strength of the Luo family, there was no joy on his face, but a solemn face, and after being silent for a while, he suddenly said: "Give up Jianzhi Tiancheng and withdraw from the battlefield as soon as possible." ”

"Huh? My lord? This time almost everyone was surprised.

"Quick, don't delay, or I'll die here today." Kikuchi Yoshitake said solemnly. Only he knew that Lu Dao was not united with the Luo family, and in this place far away from the Luo family's territory, there was actually a Luo family's army, obviously something big happened to Feihou during the time he was fighting against the Otomo family. And Kikuchi Yoshitake, who had seen the strength of the Luo family's siege battles and knew that the Luo family was not a good person, immediately gave the order to retreat, and even the Jianzhi Tiancheng behind him gave up.

But just when the Otomo family and the Kikuchi family were still stunned, the army of the Luo family had already been killed.

"Rush!" Masanobu Takasaka, who was riding a horse and rushing to the front, shouted.

Flags flutter in the rising sun, and a veritable decisive battle has finally arrived. After firing a rain of arrows at the enemy, Takasaka Masato rushed towards the battlefield where the Otomo and Kikuchi armies were fighting.

"Huh?" Ryuzoji Takanobu, who happened to be not far from Takasaka Masanobu, couldn't help but straighten up after hearing this. In his eyes, an enemy horse came into view. The man violently scattered the two armies and came straight to them. He is tall and dark. Seeing the huge knife ring that the man was wielding, Ryuzoji Takashi couldn't help but sweat in his palms.

"I am Taro Taro Masanobu Takasaka, who is known to everyone in the Luo family, a samurai of the Luo family, who dares to fight in the next battle." The man, wielding a broadsword, rushed straight at him.

Longzao Temple Longxin suddenly felt his blood surge.

"In Shimohi, the head of the Ryuzo Temple, Master Marutakanobu, will fight with you!"
