Xiaogu City.
Looking at the pile of documents asking for help placed on the desk, Asai Ryomasa had a headache.
"My lord, Master Aguan from Yamamoto Mountain Castle has sent people to ask for help again."
"The Isono family of Isonoyama Castle fought with Ikushi outside the city and were defeated. Dr. Isonoeemon abandoned the city and fled. Ikushi was marching towards Akao Castle. Akao-sama was seriously ill and his family was leaderless. The situation was not good. !”
In the imperial palace, Asai Hidenobu said with a solemn expression.
Asai Ryomasa rubbed his forehead and said with a depressed look, "Isn't there some good news?"
"Um... Ichiku of Ogami Castle has been repulsed and is currently fleeing towards Sakata County."
"In addition, Ichikui of Guasheng Township has been defeated, and there are thirty-eight enemies. This is the battle report just sent by Echizen Shouden."
Hearing this, Asai Ryomasa felt a little better.
Sometimes Asai Ryomasa can't help but wonder, is God being a little too harsh on me?
Although it is said that heaven will entrust this man with a great responsibility, his mind and body will surely be taxed, and his body and mind will be taxed... But haven't the hardships that I, Ryomasa Asai, experienced been a bit too much?
If nothing else, let’s just talk about last year.
He finally defeated the powerful enemy Rokkaku, and when he was about to feel proud, Kyogoku Takamasa suddenly jumped out and intercepted him. Not only did he lose all his money, but he also pried away the Hori family.
"What's the situation inside the Kyogoku family? What's going on with the other party?" Ryomasa Asai suddenly thought of something, and then asked.
"It is reported that there is also an attack in the Kyogoku family territory. There are currently fighting in Imahama Castle, Shangheiji Castle and other places. As for other movements, we have not found out."
"Well..." Asai Ryomasa nodded, picked up a glass of water on the table and prepared to drink some.
Unexpectedly, before Asai Ryomasa started to drink, a rush of footsteps sounded outside the hall.
"Where can I ask for help again?" Ryomasa Asai shook his head helplessly, as if he was used to it.
"It's a document sent by Asai Carpenter Assistant of Yanjin Hall."
"Suddenly, a Kyogoku family force invaded Nagahara Township from the direction of Takashima County and is currently marching towards Yanjinkan. Considering the time when the letter was sent to Otani Castle, I am afraid that Yanjinkan will have been captured by the Kyogoku family at this time. The troops are surrounded." Asai Hidenobu's son, Asai Ryo, bowed his body and whispered.
"Takashima County? Kyogoku family? Kyogoku Sakyoushin!"
Asai Ryomasa's expression suddenly changed, he patted the table in front of him and said loudly, "The people coming from the Kyogoku family are not good, and the person leading the troops is Kyogoku Sakyo Susumu. This is going to be difficult!"
"But why does the Kyogoku family have enough energy to attack our own family?"
"Didn't there also be an explosion in the Kyogoku family?" Asai Hidenobu looked confused.
The Asai family would never have imagined that the Kyogoku family would send troops to attack them at this time. In their opinion, shouldn't everyone be having a headache about Yikui right now?
Why can your Kyogoku family be so unscrupulous?
"My lord, the stone height of Guanpu, Yanjin and Yongyuan in the three villages of Guanpu, Yanjin and Yongyuan is only 2,000 stones high, and the troops that can be mobilized will not exceed 200 people. Besides, another incident will happen. I'm afraid that the strength of the troops under the command of Carpenter Assistant is at this time. It will be less.”
"The Kyogoku family's troops in Takashima County number at least a thousand. I'm afraid the Yanjin Hall won't be able to defend it for long!"
"Once the Yanjin Hall is lost, the Kyogoku family can easily invade Ixiang County! At this time, the people of Ixiang County are being beaten to the point of being unable to fight back. If they are attacked by the Kyogoku family, they will probably be completely defeated! "
Asai Ryomasa took two steps back and forth, then turned and looked at the map behind him.
After staring at the map for a long time, Asai Ryomasa suddenly gave an order: "Immediately send an order to Yanase, Higashino and other people, asking them to mobilize their troops to station in Yuwu Township, and set up formations along the line of Yuwu Lake to guard against Kyogoku. The family's troops crossed Xingshi Mountain from Yanjin Township and invaded Yixiang County."
"In addition, let Echigo Shou and Echizen Shou immediately lead their troops to Otani Castle to assemble."
"In addition, a mobilization order has been issued. All retainers in Zhixing who have not been attacked by Yikui will immediately lead their troops to Xiaogu City!"
"ha!"
After Asai Hidenobu and Asai Ryoki left, Asai Ryomasa frowned and was thinking about something.
"The Kyogoku family's troops in Takashima County are dispatched, so will there be action in the direction of Sakata County as well?"
Asai Ryomasa suddenly began to panic.
...
Yanjin Pavilion.
Asai Jingyan sat in the hall expressionless, listening to the deafening shouts of death outside, Asai Jingyan felt panicked.
"My lord, the Kyogoku family's troops have broken through Otemon!"
"Nagahara Shiroden was taken over by the enemy Nomura Tajima Mamoru!"
"Report! Yamamoto Taro was stabbed to death by the enemy? Yamauchi Zangsuke!"
Asai Jingyan couldn't sit still.
"Nagahara Shiro and Yamamoto Taro... Then my sword comes, and today I swear to live and die with Shiojinkan!"
Taking the saber from the knife-wielding young man, Asai Jingyan strode out.
At this time, Shiozukan Otemon has been captured, the Kyogoku family's troops are filing in, and the Asai family's troops are being beaten back.
In the formation, Asai Iban was already covered in blood, and two Kyogoku family samurai were dealing crazy damage to Asai Iban.
"Go to hell!"
Asai Iban roared angrily and swiped his spear forward.
Unfortunately, being loud doesn't mean anything. Asai Iban's attack was easily blocked by Akao Kiyosuna.
Tsunami Kaiboku who was on the side saw this and immediately stepped forward, slashing Asai Iban head-on with the sword in his hand.
Asai Iban was about to draw his gun to block, but unexpectedly, the gun was grabbed by Akao Kiyosuna.
The spear couldn't be retrieved, Tsunayika Ubita's sword had been cut off, and Asai Iohan could only drop the spear and catch it with his hands. The moment he held the blade, blood splattered everywhere.
Tsunachika Uboku stretched out his right foot and kicked hard, knocking Asai Iban down to the ground.
Akao Kiyosuna on the side suddenly pounced over, riding Asai Iban under him. Then he quickly drew out his saber and was about to cut off Asai Iban's head.
Fortunately, the throat chakra (a well-equipped component that protects the throat) helped a lot and Akao Kiyozuna did not succeed.
Just when Akao Kiyosuna was about to open his throat chakra with his hand, Eren Asai rushed over and stabbed Akao Kiyosuna.
Akao Kiyosuna quickly lowered his head to avoid the blow, but Asai Ien had already rushed in front of him at this time.
"? Yamauchi Zangzhong is here, the enemy will die!"
Before Asai was able to slash Akao Kiyozuna for the second time, Nobu Yamama came out from the crowd and shot out a spear like a dragon in his hand, heading straight for Asai's face.
Tsunachika Kaiboku on the side was not willing to lag behind and joined the battle waving his sword.
In today's era, one-horse chariot is no longer popular. Who can care about this in the melee?
Faced with the repeated attacks from Tsunayami Uiboku and Asanobu Yamayama, Ien Asai was unable to parry and was beaten back again and again.
At this moment, Akao Kiyotsuna, who was behind, had already cut off Asai Iihan's head. He immediately raised the head over his head and shouted with excitement, "The enemy general Asai Iihan has been taken by me, Akao Mimasaku!"
Upon hearing his son's tragic death, Asai Iban's body trembled, and the sword in his hand became a little slower.
?Yama Asanobu took the opportunity to stab Asai Ien in the abdomen with a shot, while Tsunachika Kaiboku, who was on the side, swung his sword and hit Asai Ien's right arm. For a moment, blood spurted out and Asai Ien's right arm was cut away.
Asai Jingyan let out a scream, his red eyes glared at Shan Chaoxin in front of him, and then a gun head pierced his chest, and Asai Jingyan fell in a pool of blood.
"The enemy general Asai Carpenter's Assistant was begged by me, Yama Asanobu!"
"oh!"
The enemy general died, and the Kyogoku family ashigaru suddenly let out loud cheers.
At this point, the battle seems to be over...
