It seemed to have rained a bit last night and the ground was quite muddy.
Walking hard on the mountain path, from time to time an ashigaru wearing straw sandals would slip and fall to the ground.
Hori Motoji stood on a hillside with his feet covered in mud, his eyes staring at the Rokkaku family's troops at the foot of the mountain.
"Have you found Rokkaku Sadeyori's location?" Although Rokkaku Sadeyori's team was at the foot of the mountain, Horimotozai didn't know where Rokkaku Sadeyori was.
"Several detectives have returned, but no trace of Rokkaku Sadeyori has been found."
"No time, the time agreed with Bizen Mamoru has come!"
"Nevermind!" Hori Motozu took the spear from the hand of the gunman beside him, then tied the throat chakra and straightened the black paint pocket, "Blow the conch and charge!"
Woo!
Woohoo!
Woohoo!
The unique and loud sound of the conch sounded soon, and then the Horie Ashigaru, who had been lurking on the hillside all night, began to rush down the slope under the leadership of the samurai at home.
"Rokukka Sadayori is right in front of us, everyone, kill him!"
"Those who seek the enemy's chief general will be rewarded with thousands of gold coins!"
A group of ashigaru screamed and rushed into the Rokkaku family's main team. The Ashigaru of the Rokkaku family's main team did not expect that enemy troops would appear here at all, and they had no psychological preparation in advance. In addition, Horizumi suddenly rushed out, and he was even more caught off guard.
The ashigaru in the front line of our team were instantly defeated, and a hole was ripped open in the Rokkaku family's defense line. And as more and more Hori family Ashigaru join the battlefield, this hole is getting wider and wider.
At the same time, the Rokkaku team also reacted.
After all, it was the guard general's troops. Although he was a little panicked, there was no commotion. Under the command of some samurai, some Ashigaru began to counterattack.
Rokkaku Sadayori's main force numbered four to five thousand people, while Hori Motoji's subordinates only numbered over a thousand. They took advantage of the sudden attack to gain an advantage, but when the Rokkaku family began to react, the war quickly became anxious.
He drank a little too much last night, and Rokkaku Sadayori was still hungover.
He vaguely heard the shouting of killing coming from outside the tent, and his instinctive reaction made Rokkaku Sadayori struggle to open his eyes.
A naked body was still lying in the arms of Rokkaku Sadarai. Following Rokkaku Sadarai's movements, the girl also woke up.
"grown ups!"
The girl quickly stood up and knelt down in front of Rokkaku Sadayori.
Rokkaku Sadayori didn't have time to continue messing around with this woman at this moment. He rushed to the tent in three steps and started the battle. The dazzling light made Rokkaku Sadai couldn't help but close his eyes.
"Kanbei! Yosuke! What happened!"
Hearing Rokkaku Sadayori's voice, several side officers hurriedly came to him, "Back to my lord, an enemy force suddenly appeared on the flank of our team. It should be the troops of the Hori clan of Kamazana Castle. They are currently attacking our team."
"Ogawa Bokishou has organized the Ashigaru to block the enemy's attack."
"Letter for reinforcements has been sent to various military positions by envoys. It won't take long for reinforcements to arrive!"
Rokkaku Sadayori suddenly felt dizzy.
It's not that I'm worried about the war, it's just a normal sign of a hangover.
"You did a good job, but it's not enough!"
"This force is just the front line. Asai Ryomasa must have back-ups."
"This force should belong to Hori Motozuki. Before this, I have always been curious about why the Hori family's force was not seen, but I didn't expect that it would appear here today!" Rokkaku Sadayori touched his chin and thought for a moment, then said "Let Tajima Goto, Kaga Hirai, Dr. Sahei Kamou and others not have to worry about this formation and continue to increase their attacks on the various forces of the Asai family!"
"In addition, we must strictly guard the banks of the Amano River to prevent the Asai family from crossing the river to attack!"
"A mere Horimotozai can't do anything to my family! But we have to be wary of Asai Ryomasa, this person is not that easy to deal with!" Even though he has defeated Asai Ryomasa several times, Rokkaku Sadayori still cannot underestimate him.
Because for Rokkaku Sadayori, Asai Ryomasa is the only opponent who gets stronger with each defeat.
The enemies encountered before were either surrendered or destroyed. Only the Asai family is an anomaly, the more they fight, the stronger they get!
On the bank of the Amano River, Asai Ryomasa was also anxiously waiting for news about Horimotozai.
Today's action is related to the survival of the Asai family, and there is no room for error.
"My lord, the Hori family envoy has arrived, and the Hori family has launched an attack!" At this time, an Asai samurai quickly ran to Asai Ryomasa's side and said.
As soon as he finished speaking, another warrior ran over, "My lord, there was a sudden commotion among the Rokkaku family's troops on the other side, and it seems they were attacked!"
"Has it finally begun?" Asai Ryomasa looked straight ahead with a calm face, and his right hand slowly reached for the sword at his waist. The moment he touched the handle of the knife, Asai Ryomasa suddenly pulled out the sword with a strong force.
"Asai family members, today I, Ryomasa Asai, will lead you to death! In front of us is the Rokkaku family, the powerful Rokkaku family! This family has been defeated by the opponent several times!"
"But so what?"
"Even though we have failed several times, our family can still stand here! Now we are determined to die, either live or die!"
"Warriors of the Asai family, follow me and kill!" Ryomasa Asai waved his sword and took the lead.
"I will take the lead in the charge!" Shinji Amamori, the general of the Asai family, shouted while charging with his spear.
Then, groups of ashigaru followed Asai Ryomasa's footsteps with steady steps and launched a charge.
If I, Ryomasa Asai, can make a comeback several times, I am a person blessed by God! Even if I am still defeated this time, I, Asai Ryomasa, will not let the dog lead easily!
This is the belief of Asai Ryomasa, and it is also the pie that is drawn for everyone.
The soldiers of the Asai family were full of morale and high spirits, and they soon crossed the Amano River.
Stationed on the other side was the Rokkaku family's important minister, Kamao Sadahide.
Facing the Asai family's troops that were about to rush forward, Kamao Sadahide did not panic, but mobilized his troops in an orderly manner to set up a battle array.
When the Asai family stepped ashore, Sadahide Kamou had already set up his battle formation.
The battle is about to break out.
"kill!"
I don’t know who shouted this word first, but the moment the sound sounded, the troops from both sides rushed forward at the same time.
Soon, the two armies collided fiercely.
At the same time, Goto Takatoyosuke and Hirai Takayoshi also began to launch a cross-river offensive after receiving orders from Rokkaku Sadeyori.
However, unlike the previous days, this time the cross-river offensive progressed extremely smoothly. They did not encounter any resistance from the Asai family along the way, and the two easily occupied the river crossing points of Shangtian Village and Shimoda Village.
Hirai Takayoshi looked around, pointed at the dozen corpses on the ground and asked doubtfully, "Why are there so few enemy troops on the river bank here? Weren't there hundreds of people here yesterday?"
"Perhaps I was scared away by my family's offensive!" Hirai Sadatake beheaded two Asai family warriors and said excitedly, "Father, Asai Ryomasa's main formation is near the Naibao Village. We should Immediately attack the Neibao Village and seize the lead!"
Hirai Takayoshi was obviously a little moved. After thinking about it for a moment, he nodded and said, "This opportunity cannot be missed. I let Asai Ryomasa run away a few times. This time, I can't miss this good opportunity!"
