Asai Nagamasa walked into the house with great strides, glanced a heroic general standing next to a pillar, carrying a bloody samurai sword in his hand. In the house, almost ten Asai family's foot lights and samurai soldiers had fallen down from behind.
"Who is here?" The samurai looked at the gorgeously dressed Nagamasa Asai, realizing that he was a big shot, and immediately asked.
"Asai is ready for the previous Nagamasa." Asai Nagamasa looked at the martial family of the Sanhao family and reported his name with great respect. His words immediately aroused the exclamations of the three-hao family's samurai samurai in the house.
"Asai Nagamasa?" "That Oei Eagle?" "The head of the Asai family?"
"What are you doing here in the Palace of Asai? I will not accept any persuasion to surrender. If you want to negotiate, please go to the lord who I am. If you have any questions, you will not make up for it. You can inform me on your behalf." The general of the Sanhao family looked at Asai Nagamasa, carefully put his knife back into the sheath, and asked in a low voice.
"I'm asking you for your name." However, Asai Nagamasa did not seem to have the intention of negotiating, but asked directly.
"In the next seven twelves, Kazunaga." Kazunaga reported his name, which immediately made the guards behind Nagamasa Akai's face tighten. Kazunaga was Awa's rich family, a famous strongman in the Miyoshi Yoshi-ken army, and his martial spirit was widely circulated.
"Sir Qijo, what are you doing to collect your knife?" Asai Nagamasaki saw that Qijo Kazunaga had already collected his knife and returned to the sheath, and asked in surprise.
"What does Your Highness Asai mean?" Kazunaga Nijo asked in a tone that was more surprised than Nagamasa of Asai.
"If you don't draw your sword, will you fight me with your bare hands?" Asai Nagamasa smiled and pulled out his sword, aimed at Qijo Kazunaga, and put in a posture for a one-on-one fight, "Please give me advice."
"What?" Asai Nagamasa's words immediately ignited the house again. The soldiers of the Miyoshi family and the guards of Asai Nagamasa were both shocked. Unexpectedly, Asai Nagamasa was the head of the family, he actually personally raised his horse to challenge the other party's low-level samurai - and he was a strong man.
However, Akai Nagamasa ignored the obstruction of the guards behind him and walked forward two steps regardless of the situation until Qijo Kazunaga. Qijo Kazunaga hesitated for a moment, but slowly pulled out his knife and set off his posture at Asai Nagamasa.
Just as both sides nodded and signaled the cavalry to start the challenge, Asai Nagamasa immediately rushed forward with two sword steps with lightning speed and pointed at Qizou Kazunaga's eyebrows.
"So fast!" Kana Nakazuki exclaimed in his heart. He is a power-type general, and agility and dodging have never been good at it. Asai Nagamasa's degree is so amazing that he has no time to dodge, so he can only slash hard and try to force Asai Nagamasa to retreat. He knew that if Asai Nagamasa did not stop, both sides would die together. And if he tried to block, then with the strength of his own group, he would be very sure to overturn Asai Nagamasa directly.
However, just before he could react, Asai Nagamasa suddenly exerted force with his left foot, and his whole body rose into the air, and his body was almost parallel to the ground. The sword that was slashing horizontally swung the ground from under him and cut off his belt. However, Qijo Kazunaga, who could not dodge, was stabbed in the face by Asai Nagamasa and killed him with one move.
After Nagamasa Asai fought against Kazunata Qijo, he took a forward flip with inertia and landed steadily. Then, standing next to the corpse that was still bleeding from Juanjuan, he looked around the Sanhao family present for a week. Those who looked at their masters, and were also one of the best warriors in Awa Country, were actually knocked down by Nagamasa Asai, and each of them was stunned. After a moment, he didn't know who took the lead and left the house in a hurry.
As soon as Miyoshi Jun retreated, Homomasa Isono rushed in. He was already sweating profusely, and there were more than a dozen flag-born warriors around him.
"Lord, what are you doing?" Isono Tomokazu just heard that Asai Nagamasa had actually gone to the battle himself and went to the most difficult house. He was so shocked that he was about to come out and hurriedly took the people over.
"His Highness Oda has ordered the entire army to attack. I heard that the progress is too slow, so I come to the front line to take a look." Asai Nagamasa said indifferently when he heard this: "As a samurai, you should naturally be on the front line. Lord Isono cannot forget the duty of the Wu family."
·
At this moment, Oda Nobunaga had already set up his own formation in Kiyomizu Temple on the Onoha Mountain and informed the army of the position of the formation. After that, all contacts, communications and messengers would communicate between the formation and the various reserve teams.
After the Miyo family gave up on Yinyu Mountain, the battle situation on the plain was basically controlled by the Oda family. Even if the Miyo family tried to counterattack, as long as Yinyu Mountain was in the hands of the Oda family, it would not cause any storm. The Oda army could attack condescendingly from Yinyu Mountain and easily defeat all possible enemies around.
However, Oda Nobunaga, who was in Kiyomizu Temple, was very depressed because there was no war to fight. Asai Nagamasa of the Northern Army was leading the 75oo soldiers to besiege the 3oo soldiers of Miyoshi Yoshiken, while Asakura Yoshikei also led the 6oo soldiers and Anzai Tomoyashi, and the 3oo soldiers of Arakimura were confronted by the foot of Higashiyama Mountain. However, with the strongest force, he could only let the 85oo soldiers be spent on Mount Yinu. Many of the remaining 1oo soldiers in the Miyoshi family have not appeared yet, and they are probably hidden in Kyoto, Nijo Castle and many temples on the west coast of Kasugawa. Because there are too many temples and buildings there, even if you stand on Mount Yinu, you can't see the deployment inside clearly.
"Lord, do you want to attack west immediately?" The Maeda Taki family who followed Oda Nobunaga was almost suffocating. Several of his friends, Hiroki Ikeda, Yu Akihei, Mori Kecheng and others, had already gone to the north road to fight, and he was the only one who stayed on Mount Yinuwa in the middle road to do nothing. This is a war that can be recorded in history. If you miss it, you will never be able to do anything. If a samurai who participated in this battle could not make any difference but could only watch the wall, it would be a lifelong regret.
"Yes, lord! Whether we go northwest, we will capture the Six Palomi Temple, then cross Kawagawa to fight Nijo Castle or double-team Kyoto! Or we will go southwest, defeat the Chijiyao and Thirty-sanjido, and then cross Kawagawa to capture the Toji Temple! It's OK! It's better than standing here and watching!" Sabuki Ryono also asked for battle angrily.
Many samurai with strong spirits regard honor as more important than life, so how can they tolerate doing nothing in such a battle! Therefore, the people who asked Oda Nobunaga to fight were not only Maeda Taki family, Saburi Ryono, and others. Shibata Katsuya, Sakuma Nobumo and other important officials have sent envoys to Kiyomizu Temple one after another, urging Oda Nobunaga to send troops quickly.
"Wait a little longer, you must first see the enemy's deployment." However, Ninoha Nagahide always advised Oda Nobunaga not to worry, "This Yinwu Mountain is too important, just like the tendons of a chess game. As long as you control it, you can guarantee undefeated. Don't worry."
"They are not in a hurry, and I still have to worry!" Oda Nobunaga himself was a little impatient at this moment. He turned on the folding fan and fanned the air in anger. He took a few deep breaths: "I think the repair doctor might be able to do the empty city plan. Nijo Castle and Kyoto are both empty city, so 6ooo soldiers were left to delay our time, and the others had already withdrawn."
"Speed ​​up the progress, don't drag him until dark." Oda Nobunaga thought for a while, then "pulled" and closed the fan and pointed to the direction to the north. "Migoro, take your people to reinforce the Northern Army and quickly take down the Okazaki Shrine. Before lunch, take me Kyoto!"
·
At the beginning of Tatsuo, Oda Nobunaga sent 8oo soldiers led by Niba Nagahide to reinforce the Northern Army. When Miyoshi Yoshiki saw that he was in danger of being surrounded, he gave up the Okazaki Shrine without hesitation and began to retreat to the west. Asai Nagamasa immediately met Niba Nagahide and led many 8oo soldiers of the Northern Army to chase after him.
The east coast of Kasugawa is not as dense as the west coast, and the temples and buildings are not as dense as that. There are not many buildings blocking the Okazaki Shrine and Kasugawa Ferry. In addition to many temples at the ferry, there are no large buildings except the Ginkaku Temple and Chien Temple in the north. Therefore, the actions of both armies were extremely rapid.
At four o'clock, the Northern Army had already chased the ferry of Yachuan. When he arrived here, Yoshihiro seemed to retreat without any intention, because as long as he passed the ferry, there was Kyoto behind him. After he retreated to the west coast of Yachuan, he immediately sent people to control several bridges and the shallows that were easy to cross the river, intending to resolutely block the Northern Army here.
At this time, the vanguard of the Northern Route Army had already replaced the 14oo soldiers of Morikozen and Takigawa Ichie. All the samurai and foot-light could clearly see the outline of Kyoto on the other side of Kamakawa, and they were very excited. Without doing much repair, they immediately launched a fierce attack on the Mihao family's position.
Tsuda Hidemasaki Tsuda, the retainer of Ichiro Takigawa, was originally the son of the Oda family, so he also obtained the surname Tsuda. He was arranged by Nobunaga Oda under the account of Ichiro Takigawa as his strength. Because of this relationship, Hidemasaki Tsuda was highly valued by Ichiro Takigawa. At such a critical moment, he was appointed as the commander of the vanguard by Ichiro Takigawa. If he could successfully cross Kamakawa, he would become the first senior samurai of the coalition forces to enter Kyoto, so that Oda Nobunaga could have a glorious face.
When facing such tempting and great honors, no samurai could restrain himself. Tsuda Hidemasaki, and Mori Kecheng was the same. The latter had personally come to the front line to command the Mori family's troops to attack. However, the defense of the Miyo family was unusually tenacious. Seeing that the progress was not fast, Asai Nagamasaki had repeatedly sent people to urge him, saying that if Takigawa Ichie and Mori Kecheng could no longer make progress, he would lead the eagle to prepare for the battle. Seeing that the honor of his hand was about to fly, Tsuda Hidemasaki couldn't help but be anxious. He was only 22 years old this year, and he was also a young man with a strong armor and carried a knife to the front line.
