At this moment, on Yinyu Mountain. The Miyoshi Army and the Imagawa Army, from their superiors to Ashigaru, were doing their best to capture and kill each other. When the battle is at its peak, the so-called family interests, pros and cons are gradually forgotten. When passion surges into their hearts, all everyone can think about is to get rid of the enemy in front of them first - at all costs. cost.
Imagawa Yoshimoto was leaning against a pine tree at the moment, panting heavily, adjusting his breathing and rhythm. Next to him, Kira Usei and Tian Shen Kentaro were also panting - but in front of them, the man with the past Shihe Yisun, who was one against three, didn't seem to feel tired at all, and he rushed towards them without stopping, holding a painted halberd.
"It's been too long since I've been inactive, and I've been sparse for a long time... Ah, I can't say I haven't been active. Playing Cuju is also an activity." Imagawa Yoshimoto secretly complained about himself, and stepped out of the way to let Togo Ichisun use his halberd. . After jumping half a step away, he was thinking about how to counter Shihe Yicun this time, but unexpectedly spotted Miyoshi Changqing's movements in his peripheral vision——
He didn't know when he set up his horse seal in the pavilion next to Kiyomizu Temple. He was standing at the fence of the garden pavilion, observing the battle situation from a high position. At the same time, he kept waving his horse seal and gave orders to the Northern Army on both sides of Kyoto under Otowa Mountain. .
"This is not good..." Imagawa Yoshimoto frowned - their Imagawa army came here just to capture Mount Otowa, the highest altitude, so as to gain a command advantage in Kyoto with complex terrain and obscured vision. But now it was Miyoshi Nagakei who took the first step to gain a foothold on Mount Otowa and began to issue orders. Under his high command, the command of the Northern Army could immediately overwhelm Takeda Harunobu on Mount Keiri. The latter's vision was far inferior. Three good things, long happiness and openness.
In the blink of an eye, Imagawa Yoshimoto had already made a calculation in his mind. He narrowed his eyes and devoted all his energy to controlling his body, becoming rarely serious. The moment Shihe Yicun stabbed him with a halberd, he suddenly sheathed his sword, leaned over to grab him, dodged the halberd, and rushed towards Shihe Yicun. Toga was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly stepped aside, turned around and struck down with his halberd, but was caught by Kentaro Tian Shen with his sword. At this time, Kira Usei swung his sword again, forcing Tokawa Issun to block.
Just when Tokawa Issun was about to guard against Imagawa Yoshimoto's close combat, he discovered that Imagawa Yoshimoto didn't brake at all, but rushed all the way in the opposite direction - that was the courtyard where Miyoshi Nagakei was.
"Brother!" Shihe Yicun roared as a warning, then he shook Ji Liang Weicheng away with all his strength and chased after him.
After Miyoshi Nagakei, who was watching the battle, noticed Imagawa Yoshimoto's movements, he turned around calmly, with his sword drawn in his hand, ready to respond to the enemy - but Imagawa Yoshimoto's actions once again exceeded Miyoshi Nagakei's expectations.
Imagawa Yoshimoto pulled out Zong Sanzuo's text and threw it towards Tingxie fiercely. Miyoshi Changqing was about to block with his sword, but found that the sword was ridiculously crooked. There was no chance of hitting anyone at all, but it was stabbed hard on the pillar of the courtyard. The next moment, Imagawa Yoshimoto jumped up, put his right foot on the handle of the knife, used the force to jump into the air again, and climbed onto the roof of the courtyard.
Imagawa Yoshimoto stood on the top of the pavilion and looked down the mountain to the west impatiently. From a high position, the chaotic battle in the streets and alleys of Kyoto was instantly clear, and the entire battle situation suddenly became clear - right?
"What's going on?" Imagawa Yoshimoto was shocked by the situation in front of him.
According to the original plan, among the Oda Army, Saito Army, and Hojo Army that took the lead on the east bank of the Kamogawa River, except for the Hojo Army, the other two armies have disappeared. Imagawa Yoshimoto couldn't find the Saito family's flag after searching for a long time, and the Oda family's papaya pattern appeared directly at the Shin-Zenkoji Temple on the west bank of the Kamogawa River? How did they get there?
What was supposed to be a stalemate on the west bank of the Kamogawa River turned into a mess, with densely packed flags crisscrossing each other, and Imagawa Yoshimoto couldn't tell what was going on there in the blink of an eye. Compared to the chaotic west bank of the Kamogawa River, the battle situation on the east bank of the Kamogawa River is a bit clearer - the mess is very clear.
Since Oda's army went to the west bank for unknown reasons, and Saito's army also disappeared, the southern army's strength on the east bank was already stretched thin. Sanjusangendo and Takio Shrine, two positions that were originally thought to belong to the Southern Army, have now fallen into the hands of the Northern Army, and the vanguard of the Northern Army, Otomo Army, has almost broken through to serve as the command position of the Southern Army. Tofukuji Temple-Huiri Mountain. The Tsutsui Army, which was engaging the Otomo Army, seemed to have been defeated. The Kitahata Army was hurriedly replenishing its position - and it was probably not a match for the Otomo Army, which was gaining momentum.
Just when Imagawa Yoshimoto wanted to further confirm the movements of the Northern Army on the battlefield, the sound of wind suddenly sounded in his ears. Imagawa Yoshimoto turned aside and saw a knife flying towards him. Imagawa Yoshimoto retreated and caught the knife with his backhand, and found that it was the Sosan Zuo character that he had just inserted on the pillar. And where he had just jumped onto the roof, Miyoshi Changqing had also climbed up and was slowly approaching him.
"Oh, the administration also wants to climb high?" Miyoshi Changqing sneered.
"Why, the mountain pavilions in this world can only be built by you and His Highness alone?" Imagawa Yoshimoto put Sosan Zumon back into the scabbard, and took out Ryuumaru with his backhand.
"Some people climb high to see the distance, and some people climb high just to enjoy the scenery." Miyoshi Nagakei smacked his lips, his words full of disdain for Imagawa Yoshimoto's attitude towards life, and at the same time he quickened his pace, stepping on bricks and tiles to pay tribute to Imagawa Yoshimoto. Yuan Xilai said: "How far you can see does not depend on how high you stand, it only depends on what you see. A playboy like His Highness Jibu, it doesn't matter how high he stands, he still sees flowers and birds. Fengyue. In that case, don’t occupy this high place and delay my important event."
"Then I don't mind leaving it to you, Your Highness. I don't want to delay your big job." Imagawa Yoshimoto was not angered by Miyoshi Nagakei's words at all, and he still had a calm smile on his face, "It's just that right now, you have to take this big thing. I really don’t want to die for our lives. How can we continue to enjoy the scenery if we die?”
Miyoshi Changqing snorted coldly and struck Imagawa Yoshimoto with a knife. When Imagawa Yoshimoto was blocking, he took advantage of the situation to release his strength and turned back with a knife, but Miyoshi Chokei was able to deflect it.
"Your Majesty, you are a little too confident. You dare to catch up alone." After a simple round, Imagawa Yoshimoto already knew in his heart that Miyoshi Nagakei's martial arts level was inferior to his own - after all, what about Imagawa Yoshimoto's own martial arts? It is said that it is outstanding, but it is difficult to resist when encountering ten thousand enemies like Hidetsuna Uizumi and Ichikawa Tokawa: "I was afraid that the previous determination was just the fox pretending to be the tiger. But the tiger is not here, how can the fox dare to face the hunter alone? ?”
"Really?" Miyoshi Changqing chuckled, then raised his hands high.
Imagawa Yoshimoto was stunned for a moment, and instinctively turned his head to look at the full screen - in the Qingshui Temple under the pavilion, a group of archers from the Miyoshi family had already bent their bows and nocked arrows, aiming at him.
"Let go!" Mihao Changqing shouted, and arrows immediately came like a rainstorm. Imagawa Yoshimoto had no place to stand at all, so he hurriedly jumped to the pavilion and dodged the bow and arrow behind the pillars. Miyoshi Changqing, on the other hand, pulled up his horse seal with one hand, pulled it to the roof, and continued to watch the battle and give instructions.
"No, we can't let him continue to command like this." Imagawa Yoshimoto immediately raised his hand and shouted to his banner team in the distance: "Archer team, suppress Tingxie!"
After receiving the order, the Imakawa family's horsemen immediately separated a pair of archers, went around to the high ground next to the mountain road, and fired arrows at Tingxie, forcing Miyoshi Changqing down. He Yicun, Kira Weicheng, Tian Shen Kentaro and others also pushed away. But Miyoshi Nagakei didn't panic and immediately asked the guards to take the horse seal and move to another hill northeast of Kiyomizu Temple.
"Go west and seize the high point!" Imagawa Yoshimoto ordered again, "We have to find a place with a wide view to observe the battle situation so that we can pass the message to His Highness Takeda!"
"Disperse and suppress all high points!" Miyoshi Nagakei also ordered to his own banner at the same time: "Tangle every Imagawa family's troops and don't give them any chance!"
"Your Highness, our troops are smaller than theirs. Even if Your Highness is brave enough to be invincible, we may not be able to attack all the high points at the western foot of Mount Otowa at the same time." During the melee, Himura Hiroyuki rode his horse to Imagawa. After Yiyuan died, he reported to him: "Please choose a place to attack first."
"Choose a place?" Imagawa Yoshimoto pursed his lips, and finally fixed his eyes on Miyoshi Nagaki's horse seal, "The hill where Miyoshi is going to repair must have the best view. Then chase after it. , I will go wherever he goes! Feicun and Akai lead their troops to feign an attack to distract attention. The rest of the guards will pursue Miyoshi Changqing with me!"
·
Miyoshi Changqing was riding his horse on the mountain road when he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves coming from behind. He turned around and saw that on another mountain road separated by a small rift valley, Imagawa Yoshimoto was also coming with cavalry on horseback. The two mountain roads are about to merge - and the place where they merge is the highest and most open mountain at the western foot of Mount Otoyu.
"Still not giving up?" Miyoshi Nagakei raised his finger and pointed at Imagawa Yoshimoto and shouted loudly: "Take your troops and run away in despair. There is still a chance to leave now! If you don't leave, you will be the one who will die here."
"Your Majesty, you are so confident. If there hadn't been bows and arrows just now, who would have fallen down in one fell swoop?" Imagawa Yoshimoto retorted with the same smile, and at the same time pressed his hands on the handle of the knife, ready to fight. preparation.
"The cards are good, of course I don't mind betting again." Mihaoshi Changqing snorted coldly. Shihe Yicun, who was guarding behind his brother, clapped his horse forward, put the painted halberd across his legs, and said coldly Look at Imagawa Yoshimoto. Behind Imagawa Yoshimoto, Kira Usei and Tian Shen Kentaro are also eager to try, and can't wait to continue the battle that was just interrupted by random arrows.
In a few breaths, Miyoshi Changqing and Imagawa Yoshimoto's horses had already met at the top of the mountain where the forked roads met. Shihe Yicun let out a low roar and raised his painted halberd to strike like a mountain. Imagawa Yoshimoto also had a stern look on his face. He pulled out Ryuumaru and Sosan Zuomon with both hands and rode forward to meet them.
