"What time is it now?"
Ishida Mountain, Kyogoku Takahiro asked impatiently in the Kyogoku family's main formation.
"Back to my lord, it's almost time for the attack!" Asami Takasune, who served as a special force but did not participate in the war, quickly replied.
"Shinshi? It's been almost an hour. Why hasn't there been news from the front?" Kyogoku Takahiro frowned, then stood up from his position, strode outside the main formation, pointed in the direction of Uesaka Castle and said "My troops are fighting fiercely outside, why doesn't Kyogoku Takayoshi send troops to help?"
"Lord, there are not many troops in Uesaka Castle, and according to the plan, Uesaka Nobumitsu and others will attack the Asai family's main formation together with Mr. Kobori. It is not appropriate to be exposed at this time!" Asami Takasune explained patiently.
Kyogoku Takahiro knew nothing about fighting. This was no longer a secret in the Kyogoku family. In fact, Kyogoku Takahiro didn't even need to participate in this battle, but participating in the battle as the leader would be a great boost to Ashigaru's morale, so Kyogoku Takahiro came to become the general.
"Then send the order quickly and let Kobori Masatoshi start launching a surprise attack!" Kyogoku Takahiro was no longer patient.
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Asami Takasune's face, and then he replied in a low voice, "My lord, you might as well wait patiently for a moment. Once the Asai family's troops ahead get into a melee with Mitsui Eemon and Tsushima Mamoru, Kobori-sama will naturally start to move towards the Asai family." This formation moves."
"It's always good to hurry up. Otherwise, would we have to spend this night in the wilderness?" Kyogoku Takahiro is a man of culture. How can a man of culture sleep in this dark wilderness with a group of big men who pick their feet? The tatami in Heiji Castle should be my home, Kyogoku Takahiro.
The fighting outside Uesaka City was quite fierce, and the fighting between the two sides was very lively.
After nearly an hour of fighting, the ashigaru on both sides had almost lost their strength, and some of the soldiers had even stood there and started to rest.
At this moment, Sadji Amamori suddenly led his army from the flank and went straight to Mitsui Nobutsuna who was fighting with Asai Kiyomasa's team.
Mitsui Setsutsuna's team had four lines of 200 men, and they were originally evenly matched with Asai Kiyomasa's team, but Umori Tetsuji's sudden entry into the battle caught Mitsui Setsutsuna off guard.
The row on the far right was the first to collapse. Before Mitsui Setsutsuna could react, Umori Tetsuji had already intercepted Mitsui Setsutsuna's retreat.
"Damn it!" Mitsui Chengzuna looked back at the direction of the formation, and then said loudly, "Hold on, reinforcements will be here soon!"
I don't know whether the reinforcements will come, but Asai Kiyomasa's offensive has become sharper. Coupled with the assistance of flanker Amamori Sadji, Mitsui Setsutsuna's team can only retreat while fighting.
"What do Onoki Hidetoshi do for food? Why haven't you come yet!" No two figures of Ohnoki Hidetoshi could be seen in the second formation, and Mitsui Setsutsuna suddenly started to panic.
At this time, an ashigaru head ran up to Mitsui Nobutsuna and said loudly, "Sir, the troops of the Onoki family in the second formation have gone to the right to support Asami and Tsushima Mamoru!"
"What?"
Ashigaru pointed to the front right, and then said loudly, "For half a quarter of an hour, Asami Taima Mamoru was surrounded by the Asai family's troops. Fortunately, Onokiden arrived in time, otherwise Asami Taima Mamoru would have been defeated!"
Just now, the situation was exactly the same as Mitsui Setsutsuna's. During the melee between Ien Asai and Sadame Asami, Nomasa Asai led an army to raid Asami Sadame's flanks and surrounded Asami Sadame.
Onoki Hidezu, who was not far from Asami Sadatsuki, saw this situation and rushed to support him, but Mitsui Setsuna didn't know about it.
Just when Mitsui Setsuna was worried, the savior also came!
"Sir, look, it's Asami Kii Mamoru!" As Ashigaru yelled, Asami Takasune joined the battlefield with his troops.
With the support of Asami Takasune, the situation of Mitsui Setsutsuna's team has improved slightly, and the morale of the peasants and soldiers has also dropped a lot. There has been a turn for the better.
At the same time, a side door of Uesaka Castle quietly opened, and the army slowly walked out of Uesaka Castle, then circled around Ishida Mountain and slowly went down the mountain along the foothills.
Uesaka Munanobu was wearing a black trousers and a bandana on his head, walking in front with a calm expression.
"Go downstream along the Anegawa River. Asai Ryomasa's main formation is along the Anegawa River. Everyone, be careful not to be discovered by the enemy!" Although he said be careful, Uesaka Munanobu's voice was loud and clear. .
Almost at the same time, Kobori Masatoshi and Kobori Masafusa, father and son of Kyogoku Takahiroka, also started taking action.
"According to the reconnaissance team's report, Asai Ryomasa's main formation is on the bank of the Anesawa River at the foot of Katsuyama Mountain. We circled from Katsuyama to Asai Ryomasa's left side and launched an attack at the same time as the Uesaka family!"
"Masashi, if you can get the head of Ryomasa Asai, your reputation for bravery will spread throughout Omi!" Masato Kobori patted his son on the shoulder and said encouragingly.
Kobori Masatoshi nodded heavily, young samurai are always eager to establish meritorious deeds.
However, neither Kobori Masatoshi nor Uesaka Munanobu knew that their every move had been discovered by Asai Ryomasa.
"As expected by the lord, the reconnaissance team just came to report that a troop in Uesaka Castle has quietly left the city and marched towards Anegawa, with the target directed at the lord!" Dohi Shinshun said to Asai Ryomasa with an excited look on his face. .
Asai Ryomasa nodded, "How many people are in the enemy's assault team?"
"There are about 400 people, and the person leading the team seems to be Uesaka Munanobu!"
"Uesaka Munanobu? I am quite a brave man, but they underestimate me, Ryomasa Asai!"
"Instructions are given to Asai Toshimasa to lead a team to ambush behind Katsuyama Mountain. Once the enemy raiding team starts to attack our formation, we will immediately attack to cut off their retreat!"
"ha!"
Shen Shi.
A breeze blew along the Anesawa River, bringing a bit of coolness to the late autumn.
Uesaka Munanobu was hiding in the reeds next to the Anegawa. He could already see Asai Ryomasa's main formation, and even several peasant soldiers who were standing next to the Anegawa could see clearly.
"Everyone be prepared, victory or defeat depends on this!"
"kill!"
Following Uesaka Munanobu's loud roar, more than four hundred peasant soldiers hidden in the reeds suddenly howled and rushed towards the Asai family's main formation.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" An Asai ashigaru, who was taking a urinate, ran towards the main formation without even having time to put on his pants.
Seeing the "big chaos" in the Asai family's main formation, Uesaka Munanobu was immediately overjoyed, "Victory is in sight, everyone rush!"
"Ask for Asai Ryouzheng's reward of hundreds of dollars!"
The sneak attack was a very pleasant thing. The morale of the peasants and soldiers under Uesaka Munanobu was high. They didn't need to say such a reward before Uesaka Munanobu said they had already begun to rush into the formation.
More than a dozen peasant soldiers who had no time to escape were immediately surrounded and then died under random gunfire.
Munanobu Uesaka also joined the battle group with a sword in hand, but unlike a group of brainless peasant soldiers, Munanobu Uesaka's goal was obvious, and that was Ryomasa Asai!
Compared with these worthless peasants and soldiers, Asai Ryomasa's head is obviously more attractive!
