The death of Yuan Jingji Zhenge was too sudden. Not only Yuan Jingji's side did not react, but even the Kyogoku family did not notice that the enemy's general had been taken over by Baba Nobuharu!
Because Nobuharu Baba had previously driven away the main force of Nobuharu Gonjoji from the Ibi River battlefield, both warring parties were unable to immediately notice the fighting at the rear.
Then a funny scene appeared.
The death of Yuanzhengji Zhenghui, a general who had always been obedient, unexpectedly did not cause any ripples. The two warring parties still continued to fight without any impact at all.
Of course, this situation is only temporary.
As Yuan Zheng Temple's Zheng Hui begged for death, the first thing to collapse was Yi Kui Shi, who was blocked by Ni Zi Quan Zheng.
However, thousands of Yikui dispersed in a rush, and the commotion caused attracted the attention of both warring parties on the Ibi River battlefield.
The members of the Kyogoku family and the monks and soldiers of the Wonjoji Temple stopped what they were doing, and almost everyone turned their attention to the direction of the main team of the Wonjoji Temple on the south bank of the Ibi River.
Neither the Kyogoku family nor the Wonjoji family saw what they wanted to see.
The distance is really too far.
However, Baba Nobuharu was not idle either. He immediately asked several knights on horseback to carry the head of Wanzhengji Zhenghui, and then kept running back and forth on the edge of the battlefield against the banner of Wanzhengji.
Several warriors ran and shouted at the top of their lungs: "The benefits of Yuanzheng Temple have been taken by Mino Mamoru. Why don't the rest surrender as soon as possible?"
"I wish Zhengji Zhenghui is dead!"
"Dead!"
"die......."
On the originally quiet battlefield, the voices of several mounted warriors suddenly rang out, instantly resounding throughout the battlefield.
Hearing the words that passed through his ears, looking at the banner held up by several Kyogoku family cavalry, and then looking at the Ikkui who were fleeing in all directions, all the monk soldiers present were filled with despair.
The monk soldiers were immediately confused by this sudden bad news. Wasn't the battle well fought?
Even in some areas, Yuanzhengji's side still had the upper hand. Why did General Yuanzhengji Zhenghui die just because he said he would die?
If they hadn't seen with their own eyes the head of Yuanzhengji Zhenghui and the flag captured by the Kyogoku family, the monks and soldiers present would have thought this was false news.
Some of the monk soldiers began to waver, while the Kyogoku family's morale skyrocketed.
Kyogoku Takamasa, who was in the main formation, shook his fist fiercely and secretly praised Baba Nobuharu for his strength.
How could Kyogoku Takamasa miss such a good opportunity, he immediately ordered: "Wanzhengji Zhenghui is dead, the enemy army is defeated now, everyone rush!"
With that said, Kyogoku Takamasa took the lead and rushed out with his team's ashigaru.
Inaba Yoshichichi, Mori Kekei, Takenaka Shigemoto, Fuwa Mitsuharu and others were not willing to lag behind, and each led their own teams to join the charge.
For a time, the Kyogoku family flourished, beating the monk soldiers back again and again.
At this time, Nobuharu Baba and Kanmasa Nizi also arrived with their cavalry teams.
Under attack from both sides, the monk soldiers were defeated faster.
With the death of Zhenghui of Yuanzheng Temple, the defeat of Yuanzheng Temple is inevitable. Except for a few die-hards who were still making their final struggle, the other monk soldiers surrendered and fled.
This battle is no longer possible.
Less than half an hour later, when the last monk soldier on the battlefield fell, the battle of Ifeichuan officially came to an end.
Only then did Kyogoku Hidemasa, Kyogoku Takatsu, Endo Kyouyo, Seki Shengxiong and others arrive with Ise's troops, but the battle was already over.
"My lord, I led the army to attack without authorization and disobeyed my lord's orders. Please punish me!" After the battle, Baba Nobuharu trotted all the way to Kyogoku Takamasa's side, and then knelt on the ground to plead guilty.
Although Nobuharu Baba personally obtained the blessing of Wanjoji Temple, which established a victory for the Kyogoku family. But strictly speaking, the order issued by Kyogoku Takamasa was for Nobuharu Baba to support the southern battlefield, not to surprise the Gonjoji main formation.
So Nobuharu Baba disobeyed the order.
This matter may be big or small, but no matter what, the final result is good.
But now that Nobharu Baba has taken the initiative to admit his mistake, Kyogoku Takamasa also thinks it is necessary to use the incident of Nobharu Baba to beat others. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing if in future battles, other people would behave like Nobuharu Baba.
After all, not every time Nobuharu Baba is so lucky.
Baba Nobuharu was so sensible, so Kyogoku Takamasa naturally followed the trend and said: "Mino Mori disobeys military orders, and as a rule, he should be punished! However, Mino Mori led his army to raid the enemy's main formation, and he was able to command decisively among thousands of troops. He can come and go freely, and even beg the enemy's general, and this achievement must be rewarded!"
"In this way, the merit will be offset by the crime. Are you convinced?"
Baba Nobuharu nodded quickly and said: "Thank you, Lord, I have no objections!"
There is really nothing dissatisfied with Nobuharu Baba. He had already assumed the position of leader of the equestrian team before he had achieved anything. If he were to be rewarded again, it would be a reward such as being granted the title of Knowledge and Practice.
But it is not that simple to obtain Chiyukiji. At least Baba Nobuharu, a retainer who has just joined the Kyogoku family, is not qualified yet.
Even if Baba Nobuharu's military exploits were greater than his faults, if he really wanted to be rewarded, it would just be some property.
There are some belongings that Nobuharu Baba has not seen yet. Moreover, since Nobharu Baba is used to set an example, it is naturally impossible to reward him again, otherwise this matter will be meaningless.
At this time, the battlefield had been cleaned up, and Kyogoku Hidemasa and others also found Kyogoku Takamasa.
"Sakyo enters the palace, you are going too fast. The battle is already over before I even get here! It's really a pity that I originally wanted to kill Gonjoji Seimei with my hands!" Kyogoku Hidemasaichi He said with an unhappy face.
Kyogoku Takamasa stepped forward and patted Kyogoku Hidemasa on the shoulder, "This time when Wanjoji Temple attacked, Uhei Sa and Umasuke have done a great job! If you hadn't withstood the pressure and defended the city, I'm afraid that at this time Wanjoji Temple has swept across Ise and even invaded Omi.”
"Speaking of which, you all contributed a lot to this battle!"
"I'm ashamed to say that Sakyo Jinden is so complimentary. If the Guan family and Nagano family hadn't come to help, we wouldn't have had the chance to stand here and talk to Sakyo Jinden!" Kyogoku Gaosheng on the side said with a look of shame.
Only then did Kyogoku Takamasa notice Seki Shengxiong and Nagano Aito standing behind them.
"I am so grateful to the Imperial Palace Daisuke-den and Shimono Shouden for being able to lead their troops to participate in the battle! If it weren't for you two in this battle, our family would not be able to win today!"
"Thank you!" After saying that, Kyogoku Takamasa solemnly bowed to Nagano Aito and the other two.
Nagano Ato and Seki Morio looked at each other, and quickly stepped forward to support Kyogoku Takamasa.
"This battle of Sakyo Jinden destroyed the Nagashima Enjoji Temple. It can be said that he took away the sword hanging over the heads of our Ise people! If we say thank you, shouldn't we and the Ise people be even more grateful? Sakyo enters the palace?"
"I belong to the alliance equally, so what's the difference between you and me?" Kyogoku Takamasa said with a smile.
"Hahahahahaha!"
After saying that, the three of them looked up to the sky and laughed together.
The relationship between the Kyogoku family and the people of Ise has become deeper and deeper. At the same time, the Kyogoku family's weight in the hearts of the people of Simino has also become greater!
