The arrival of Uesaka Munonobu gave the ashigaru present some confidence, and the Kyogoku family managed to stabilize their formation.
Suddenly, when Uesaka Munanobu was unprepared, two Asakura family ashigaru took the opportunity to stab Uesaka Munanobu with their guns. Before Uesaka Munanobu could react, two ashigaru spears were thrust in front of him.
Uesaka Munanobu quickly rolled aside and before he could stand up, the two ashigaru's spears stabbed him again. Uesaka Munanobu gritted his teeth and rushed towards one of the ashigaru, slamming the tachi in his hand. Deeply inserted into Ashigaru's body.
Seeing the tragic death of his companion, another Ashigaru's eyes suddenly turned red, and he howled and rushed towards Uesaka Munanobu.
Uesaka Munanobu didn't dare to be too big, so he quickly twisted his buttocks and laid the Ashigaru corpse in front of him. Ashigaru's spear pierced the corpse and passed through the chest. The tip of the spear grazed Uesaka Munanobu's right arm.
Although he was not stabbed, Uesaka Munanobu could still feel the coldness of the spear.
At this time, the people around Uesaka Munanobu also reacted and quickly separated Uesaka Munanobu from the Asakura family's ashigaru. Uesaka Munanobu was finally able to breathe.
"As expected, the Asakura family's Ashigaru have amazing fighting power. Such fighting power and courage are really unheard of!" Uesaka Munanobu, who was lucky enough to escape, patted his chest and said with lingering fear.
Uesaka Munanobu noticed that although the ashigaru he fought with just now were well-equipped, they were indeed not samurai, just ordinary ashigaru. But the fighting power and fighting spirit displayed by these Ashigaru were comparable to ordinary samurai. This is what truly amazed Uesaka Munanobu.
Of course, Uesaka Munonobu was originally just a local servant in Omi Sakata County. It was only because of troubles between Uesaka Nobumitsu and Kyogoku Takayoshi that he accidentally ended Kyogoku Takayoshi and became Kyogoku Takahiro's direct minister.
To put it bluntly, Uesaka Munanobu was just a country bumpkin with no experience, so he was shocked by the fighting power shown by the Asakura family's ashigaru.
However, there is no doubt that the Asakura family's fighting power is indeed strong. At least the entire battlefield is dominated by the Asakura family at this moment. Although the Kyogoku family relied on the terrain for defense and made preparations in advance, building anti-horse fences and oar platforms, they were still defeated by the Asakura family.
Although the Kyogoku family did not have an advantage on the battlefield, overall the situation was not too bad for the Kyogoku family, which had more people. After all, the Kyogoku family's military strength has been fighting consecutive victories during this period, and their morale is high. They will not show decline just because of a temporary defeat.
Soon, Mitamura Tadamasa, Shimosaka Masaharu and other people also began to fight against the Asakura family, and the entire Wakasa street was filled with people.
The shouts of killing, the sound of conch shells, and all kinds of sounds could be heard all of a sudden.
After fighting for nearly half an hour, both sides also suffered nearly a hundred casualties. The ashigaru in the front row of the Kyogoku family were on the verge of defeat. Fortunately, Uesaka Munanobu dispatched the samurai in time and temporarily stabilized the situation.
Horie Jingyong became more and more courageous as he fought, and his subordinate Ashigaru became red-blooded.
Fighting with Kaga Ichimumu all the year round, each of the Ashigaru samurai under Horie Keiyong's command was "experienced in hundreds of battles." The monk soldiers of the Kaga Ichiko sect are the most powerful part of the entire Ichiko sect. Otherwise, they would not be able to defeat the daimyo of Echizen, Kaga and other places under the attack of the two northern hegemons, Echizen Asakura and Noto Hatakeyama. They abandoned their armor and doubted their lives.
The Asakura family's Ashigaru and Kaga Ichikazu were not far behind in the battle, and now they are fighting against the Kyogoku family's peasant soldiers, which can be said to be very handy.
Horie Keiyong was excited to play in the front, and Asakura Keiki and others behind him were also very excited.
"Captain Fujiemon, Ishimi Mamoru has the upper hand ahead, why don't we take this opportunity to defeat the Kyogoku family in one fell swoop?" Asakura Kageki held the sword at his waist and looked at Maeami Kagesada eagerly.
Although Maeba Kagesada was also very moved, he still kept in mind Asakura Sotechi's instructions, "We should act according to Sotechi's order. Zaemon Weiden is the second formation. We can send troops first and wait for the capital." After the Ji family is defeated, how about I lead three formations and send out troops to cover it up?"
Asakura Kageki immediately said that he had no objection, as long as Maeba Kagesada didn't object to his attack, it didn't matter whether Maeba Kagesada was with him or not.
"The enemy is just ahead, please follow me!"
"kill!"
Asakura Kageki kicked the horse in the belly and immediately rushed forward. Soon the Asakura family's troops in the second formation followed Asakura Kageki into the battlefield, and the situation became increasingly unfavorable for the Kyogoku family.
Asakura Kageki's position on the battlefield was very tricky. He cut in from the left side of Uesaka Munanobu's team and Horie Kegyong's team, and then suddenly went straight to the rear of Mitamura Tamasa's team, hoping to directly intercept the Kyogoku family's troops. Two paragraphs.
Since Wakasa Street is very narrow and the Kyogoku family has a large number of troops, the Kyogoku family is arranged in a "long snake formation". At the front is Uesaka Munanobu, followed by Mitamura Tamasa, and then in order are Shimosaka Masaharu, Anyoji, Kobori, Onoki, Asami and other national troops.
It can be expected that once Asakura Kageki's goal is successful, the entire Kyogoku family's formation will be cut off in the middle, and the top leaders will not be able to care about each other. Uesaka Munanobu and others in the Kyogoku family's front formation will be completely surrounded by the Asakura family.
Uesaka Munanobu was currently too tired to parry Horie Keiyu's attacks, and did not even notice Asakura Keiki entering the battlefield from his flank. At this moment, the entire battlefield was full of people, and the ashigaru of the Kyogoku family and the Asakura family were mixed together, making it impossible to see them.
At the same time, Mitamura Tamasa was focused on rushing forward to support Uesaka Munanobu. By the time he saw Asakura Kageki appearing behind him, it was already too late.
"Lord, it's bad, the enemy troops suddenly came out from the flanks and came around behind us, blocking our retreat!" Mitamura Sadayori shouted in panic.
Mitamura Tadayori was also very distraught at the moment, and he quickly asked Mitamura Sadayori to resist him first, and then found Uesaka Munanobu from the crowd who was already covered in blood.
"Mr. Uesaka, something bad has happened. The enemy has blocked our retreat. We have lost contact with the Shimosaka family of the Third Formation!" Mitamura Tadayamasa grabbed Uesaka Munanobu, who was still rushing forward, and then pointed behind him and said.
Uesaka Munanobu was in the mood to fight when he suddenly heard Mitamura Tamasa's words and was stunned. But when I turned around and saw what was happening behind me, I felt a twinge of pain.
"Damn you, when did the Asakura family rush behind us?" Uesaka Munanobu opened his mouth and dug at the grass folds that were sticky with blood and felt uncomfortable.
"Sir Uesaka, the enemy has begun to surround us. Make a decision early on!" Mitamura Tamasa said with determination.
The so-called decision-making early was to let the strong man Uesaka Munanobu cut off his arm, abandon the peasant soldiers under his command, and then join forces with Mitamura Tadayamasa, take their respective banners, and break out of the encirclement.
With the bravery of Hatamoto and the sidemen, there is still hope for breaking out of the siege.
"fart!"
Uesaka Munanobu straightened the catfish tail-shaped bag on his head and said righteously: "I, Uesaka Minbu, have been entrusted with the important task entrusted by Sakyo to enter the palace. How can I do such an act of escaping from the battle?"
"If we are defeated here, even if we survive, how can we see Zuo Jing enter the palace with his colleagues?"
