"The female warriors of Suruga are quite brave." Oda Nobumitsu was surprised at first when he saw Imagawa Yoshimoto actually leaving and coming back, and then he realized that this was a great opportunity. He took the elite warriors he had just attacked and went into battle again, and personally went around to the front of the Imagawa army's breakout direction to block Imagawa Yoshimoto's breakout action - but this time, they were no longer holding short swords and ribs, but Katana.
Imagawa Yoshimoto glanced at Oda Nobumitsu, who came to the front of the formation on horseback, and the six samurai following him, and he recognized them at a glance as the people who had just besieged him.
"Weicheng, Tian Chen." Imagawa Yoshimoto whispered to the two guards on the left and right, "Come on, the three of us will take care of them."
"How dare three people take the challenge?" Oda Nobumitsu sneered, dismounted, and attacked with a sword. "We have one against ten samurai from the Oda family. Do you want to fight 70 with three of us?"
"What a coincidence, here are three hundred enemies." Kira Usei was also unambiguous. He drew out his swords and stood in front of Imagawa Yoshimoto, "300 vs. 70, the advantage is mine!"
Ji Liang Weicheng swung his giant sword and made a vertical slash, immediately smashing the earth and rocks in front of him into pieces. Although Oda Nobumitsu was also known for his bravery, he did not dare to take this attack forcefully, so he had to step aside and pass. Behind Oda Nobumitsu, Oda Nobubo flashed out of the smoke and stabbed Kira Uisei with his knife. Kira Uicheng was not afraid and swung another sword towards Oda Nobuka.
Tian Shen Kentaro had sharp eyes and quick hands. He took a step forward and deflected the knife that stabbed Kira Wecheng away. The two brothers, Sasa Masaji and Sasa Sunsuke, worked together to block with their swords, and blocked Oda Nobbo's horizontal slash from Kira Usei, but they were staggered several times.
On the other side, Okada Shigeno, Nakano Iyasu and Shimono Sadaqiyoshi besieged Imagawa Yoshimoto. Okada Shigeno stabbed Imagawa Yoshimoto straight in the face, but Imagawa Yoshimoto turned his head and let him pass. Ichiyasu Nakano followed up with a side slash, and Yoshimoto Imagawa turned around to block by turning his head. At the same time, he wielded Ryuumaru with his right hand and slashed at Ichiyasu Nakano. Lower Sadaqi raised his sword to block Nakano Izuyasu, but Imagawa Yoshimoto held Sosan Zuoji in his left hand and stabbed in a different direction. He adjusted the direction by twisting his knees and stabbed directly into Lower Sadaqi's heart.
Oda Nobumitsu, who was on the side, had quick eyes and quick hands, and took a sudden lunge towards Zhenqing's place below. Imagawa Yoshimoto originally thought that he was going to block for the lower part of Sadakiyoshi, and slightly adjusted the angle of the thrust. Who would have thought that Oda Nobumitsu didn't care about the life and death of the lower part of Sadakiyoshi, but instead thrust the knife towards Imagawa Yoshimoto's lower abdomen. Come stabbing.
Imagawa Yoshimoto was startled, but in his haste, he had no time to put away the knife. In the flash of lightning, he lifted his leg while releasing Sosan Zuomon, and raised the scabbard to a position where his left hand could reach it. He took out the scabbard with his left hand and rubbed it against the back of Oda Nobumitsu's sword, changing the direction of the sword. traces of. The samurai sword scraped against the lower abdomen. Although it made a cut, it was not seriously injured.
"Your Highness! Squat!"
Kira Usei, who rushed over, roared, and Imagawa Yoshimoto rolled forward on the spot knowingly, picking up the Sosanzu script that fell on the ground. The moment he bent over, he could only hear the whistling sound of wind above his head, and then he could feel a sharp sword energy whistling past. Okada Shigeno, Nakano Kazuyasu, Shigeta Sadakiyoshi, and Oda Nobumitsu did not dare to fight head-on, and were all forced back by the sword energy of Kira Wesei.
Behind Kira Usei, Sasa Masaji and Sasa Sunsuke both chased after him, trying to attack Kira Usei's back. Kentaro Tamaki wanted to help, but was desperately pestered by Oda Nobbo. Imagawa Yoshimoto saw that Kira Usei could not turn around in time, so he simply took a step forward, jumped into the air, stepped on Kira Usei's shoulders and jumped behind him. How could Sasa Masaji and Sasa Sunsuke have expected such a style of play, and were caught off guard by Imagawa Yoshimoto who fell from the sky.
Imagawa Yoshimoto changed the angles of his left and right hands at the same time. Ryumaru knocked away Sasatsu Sunsuke's saber, and Sozomonji made a long gash on Sasaki Masaji's arm. On the other side, Oda Nobbo was no match for Kentaro Targami. He was stabbed three times in the thigh by the latter and retreated in embarrassment.
Oda Nobumitsu, along with Okada Shigeno, Nakano Kazuno, and Shimono Sadakiyoshi, rushed back to support him. However, Kira Hesei waved his huge swords regardless, dancing so vigorously that the four of them were unable to enter for a while. body. On the other side, Imagawa Yoshimoto's two swords flew like falling flowers, stabbing Sasa Masaji and Sasa Sunsuke as quickly as falling flowers. The two of them could not cope with it, and they were stabbed to the ground one after another, and rolled and crawled back.
"Your Highness, aren't you going to kill me?" Kentaro Tian Shen saw that Imagawa Yoshimoto's sword skills still had some leeway, and couldn't help but sigh, "On the battlefield, you kill everything you should, and it is inevitable to break the precept. Those who deserve it The eminent Taoist monk is going on a killing spree, and His Highness has already returned to secular life, why should he stick to this?"
"You can, but it's not necessary." Imagawa Yoshimoto sheathed the sword, turned around and rushed towards Kira Uisei, pressed his hands on the handle of the sword, and almost used Iai Slash with both hands at the same time as he approached Sadaqiyo below, Two swords flashed past, and the samurai sword used by Zhenqing below to block was instantly broken into three pieces, and two huge bloody wounds were opened on his body.
"Huo, Your Highness, when did you learn to use two-handed swords? It took you a while." Kira Usei gave a few rare words of praise after seeing Imagawa Yoshimoto's performance.
"I've seen you fight so many times, I've memorized it a long time ago." Imagawa Yoshimoto also chuckled, and then launched another attack. He leaned down to charge up, then jumped up suddenly, and stabbed Oda Nobuguang's face with his right hand. And go. Oda Nobumitsu waved his sword to get away, and just as he was about to twist his waist to fight back, another knife from Imagawa Yoshimoto had already stabbed in front of his face, forcing Oda Nobumitsu to lean back and dodge. Imagawa Yoshimoto immediately followed up with a knee lift, pushing Oda Nobumitsu out.
Just when Okada Shigeno was about to use his sword to respond, Kira Usei was already slamming down with two swords. Okada Shigeno quickly jumped back to avoid this blow, but Kira Usei directly bumped into him with a heavy shoulder, knocking him in the air. It spun around in a circle, and a dog chewed mud and fell far away.
Nakano Yi'an saw that something was not going well, and immediately called on the soldiers guarding the mountain to snatch Oda Nobumi back. Kentaro Tian Shen had quick eyes and quick hands. He jumped in front of Nakano Izanagi and stabbed him in the chest, almost stabbing Nakano Izun through. Nakano Igan dodged at the critical moment, but his waist still burst into blood instantly, and he fell to the ground in embarrassment. Seeing that the leading warriors were defeated one after another, the soldiers guarding the mountain had no intention of fighting, so they resisted for a few times and then retreated.
"Don't be obsessed with war! Let's go!"
Imagawa Yoshimoto saw that the seven samurai blocking the road in front of him had been dealt with, and immediately called on his subordinates to continue breaking out south. The horseback warriors fought all the way, and the Nishitoji clan on the south side of Onishi Town also worked hard to move north to support. Finally, the last group of blocking soldiers were defeated, and Imagawa Yoshimoto finally withdrew to a safe place with Ma Yin and his men.
"The wounded will be sent back to the Miai Town Main Formation." Imagawa Yoshimoto let out a long breath, and then tried to find a high ground to take a look at the current battle situation - he was surrounded and beaten for more than an hour, and he didn't know what the current situation was like. .
Before he climbed up a hill, he could already see the battle shield flag in Daping Town on the other side of the river waving rapidly, which was a signal for help.
Imagawa Yoshimoto anxiously urged the horse, and after the horse leaped on the top of the hill, the battle situation in Shodozaka became clear. In a sense, Imagawa Yoshimoto's battle to lure the enemy did not fail. After going through some twists and turns, Imagawa Yoshimoto himself successfully escaped, while Oda Nobuhide, Oda Nobumitsu, Oda Nobuhiro, Sakuma Morishige and others were also surrounded by the Oda family ambush from three sides in Onishi Town. Although Jinxi Bei and An Yuanbei were once overwhelmed by the Oda family samurai who were mixed among the people, they have now reorganized their battle lines and joined the siege of Onishi Town - now it is Oda Nobuhide's horse seal that is in danger .
But Imagawa Yoshimoto immediately realized that he was in big trouble.
The shield guards on the other side of the Oto River were not warning for no reason - the Oda army, Yamaguchi Bei, Kondo Bei and Takigawa Bei had already crossed the Oto River through the Kitohashi Bridge at some unknown time, detoured to the east bank of the Oto River, and fought southward. The defense shield was deployed at Ohira Town. The remnant party of the Miki Matsudaira family in Miki Castle also opened the west gate and rushed out under the leadership of Matsudaira Shigetada, attacking the Shoudunbei camp in Ohira Town.
Once Ohira Town is lost, the Oda army that has circled to the east bank of the Oto River can cross the river south at Minami Bridge and directly take the Imagawa family's empty main formation in Miai Town, cutting off the entire army's retreat.
Imagawa Yoshimoto hurriedly ordered the Mikawa people who had stayed on Mount Koh-i-Noor as a reserve team to support them, but when he looked around, he found that they were no longer there. Imagawa Yoshimoto searched for a long time on the chaotic battlefield, and finally found the flag of the Mikawa clan - they were in Senju Town and Meidaiji Town in the southwest of Tanada Forest, and were fighting fiercely with Shibata Bei of the Oda family who had detoured to the west of the battlefield. Being beaten back by Shibata Bei, it would be nice if he didn't ask for support, let alone support others.
In a few breaths, Imagawa Yoshimoto had roughly woken up and understood what the Oda family's battlefield layout was. If the Imagawa family is executing a small plan to lure the enemy, using Imagawa Yoshimoto's own horse seal to lure the main force of the Oda Army to Onishi Town in the center of Shozuzaka and then encircle it - then the Oda Army is executing an ambitious plan. A big plan to lure the enemy: use Oda Nobuhide and the main force of the Oda army as bait to gather the entire Imagawa family's army towards Onishi Town, and then two groups of special forces will outflank the Imagawa family's main formation from the east and west respectively, and vice versa. Then surround the Imagawa family in Azukizaka.
"It's dangerous." Imagawa Yoshimoto turned his attention again to the shield guards on the other side of the Oto River - they were using 400 soldiers to fight against the 230 soldiers of the Miki Matsudaira family, the 400 soldiers of Yamaguchi Bei, the 200 soldiers of Kondo Bei and Taki. Sichuan Bei's 170 soldiers - nearly 1,000 people.
"Send the order to Daze and tell him to hold on. Let Anyuanbei leave the battle line quickly and rush back to the main formation to set up defenses!"
