On the battlefield, the situation took a turn for the worse.
Neither the Asakura family nor the Kyogoku family expected that there would be so many ambushes here. Therefore, when Yamazaki Yoshie and others came out from both sides of the street with tens of thousands of troops, the entire battle took place. Earth-shaking changes.
The situation on the battlefield is already critical for the Kyogoku family!
"Hold it to me, open the gap and join the companions behind you! Let me kill you all!" Although Uesaka Munenobu has no brains, he is indeed a fool who doesn't care about his life when it comes to fighting. Even though his own side is now at an absolute disadvantage, Uesaka Munanobu still dared to command his troops to charge.
It is said that generals are courageous, and the general's bravery naturally inspired the ashigaru below.
In other words, even if you want to escape, you have to wait until you kill the ambush behind you before you can go home.
But after all, those who could barely muster the courage to follow Uesaka Munanobu in the charge were only a few samurai who were approaching, and most of the peasants and soldiers were now in a state of confusion. No matter how much the warriors around them roared, it had no effect. The peasants and soldiers were frightened out of their wits. How could they still have any fighting spirit?
Uesaka Munanobu couldn't care less about the peasants and soldiers at this moment. As the battle progressed to this point, Uesaka Munanobu knew that it was impossible to make a comeback.
At this moment, we can only conserve our troops as much as possible and withdraw from the battle, otherwise the more than 10,000 peasant soldiers here may be completely annihilated.
Mitamura Tadamasa and Uesaka Munanobu gathered their last troops and headed straight behind them under the cover of the fleeing peasants and soldiers.
Some of the Mitamura family's ashigaru followed behind Saka Munenobu and began to attack towards the rear, trying to open a gap in the Asakura family's troops blocking the street and re-establish contact with the Kyogoku family's peasant soldiers behind them. In this case, the situation would at least not be the same. As bad as it is now.
"Follow me and kill the enemy!" Uesaka Munanobu shouted, waving the tachi in his hand and commanding the surrounding ashigaru to start counterattack. This also aroused the morale of the samurai around him, and they all followed Uesaka Munanobu to the court. The Kurura family's Ashigaru counterattacked.
At this time, Asakura Kageki was wantonly slashing and killing the peasant soldiers of the Kyogoku family who were running around him. These peasant soldiers only knew how to run away and could not put up any resistance at all, so they were easily killed by Asakura Kageki one by one.
In just a short time, Asakura Kageki had killed more than ten peasant soldiers.
After this battle is over, the Asakura family's "news spokesman" will inevitably make remarks such as "Asakura family general Asakura Zaemon Weiden is brave and invincible, and can defeat dozens of enemies." Then Asakura Kageki His martial name became widely spread.
Seeing the Kyogoku family's troops that had been suppressed by him, Asakura Kageki happily prepared to organize the Ashigaru to annihilate the surrounded Kyogoku family's troops in one fell swoop.
Asakura Kageki didn't know Asakura Sotetsu's plan. Although he didn't know why Asakura Sotetsu laid an ambush here without telling him, he still instinctively thought that he should cooperate with Asakura Sotetsu.
Just as Asakura Kageki was calling for his troops to attack, a small group of troops from the fleeing Kyogoku family formation actually launched a countercharge.
"Interesting!" Looking at the dozens of Kyogoku soldiers charging towards his side, Asakura Kageki licked his lips excitedly, his eyes as if he had seen some prey, full of excitement and expectation.
Uesaka Munanobu also noticed Asakura Kageki standing in front of him. Looking at the nearly a hundred samurai standing next to him, Uesaka Munanobu knew that he could only rely on his own ability to get through here.
"I am Daisuke of the Uesaka Minbube, if the rats of the Asakura family get out of the way, their lives may be saved!"
"Haha!" As soon as Uesaka Munanobu finished speaking, Asakura Kageki burst into laughter as if he had heard something funny. "In today's situation, you can still say such shameless words. You are really stubborn." spirit!"
"If you are willing to surrender on the spot, maybe you can still survive! Hahahaha!" After saying that, Asakura Kageki laughed again.
Knowing that there was nothing he could do, Uesaka Munanobu immediately rushed over waving the sword in his hand.
"Kill!" Asakura Keiki also yelled, and then directed the samurai beside him to rush forward.
"Cang!" As soon as the swords of the two collided, Uesaka Munanobu kicked his right leg violently, hoping to catch Asakura Kageki off guard with this sudden attack. However, Asakura Keiki reacted quickly and also kicked out his right foot to block Uesaka Munanobu's attack. Then he rotated his right hand and slashed Uesaka Munanobu's face, forcing Uesaka Munanobu to retreat several steps.
"Hmph! That's all Omi's rats can do, what Uesaka Minbu is, nothing more than that!" Asakura Kageki had the upper hand in the first round and looked at Uesaka Munanobu in front of him with contempt.
Munanobu Uesaka was panting heavily. He had been fighting for more than half an hour and was indeed exhausted. Otherwise, Munanobu Uesaka would have killed the trash in front of him in just a few rounds.
Uesaka Munanobu's brain was still in a daze, and Asakura Kageki's attack arrived again.
With no time to think, Uesaka Munanobu could only grit his teeth and wave his sword to fight, and the two fought together again.
When Asakura Kageki and Uesaka Munanobu were fighting, Mitamura Tamasa, who arrived later, was not idle either. Mitamura Tadamasa and other samurai were also hurt by Asakura Kageki's approach. The samurai were fighting in a group. Now if they want to survive, they can only cut through the defense of the Asakura family samurai in front of them. Otherwise, everything is empty talk, so the Kyogoku family The warriors worked very hard.
Uesaka Munanobu and Mitamura Tamasa were fighting desperately, and Shimosaka Masaharu and others behind them were not idle either.
Initially, they also wanted to defeat Asakura Keiki and rescue the surrounded Uesaka Munanobu and others. However, as Yamazaki Yoshie and others joined the battlefield, Shimosaka Masaharu and others could not protect themselves, so they could not care about anything else.
But as the battle progressed, Shimosaka Masaharu and others also came to their senses. Although the Asakura soldiers surrounding them were large in number, they did not kill them.
Although they didn't know why, Shimosaka Masaharu and others couldn't control that much anymore, and quickly organized a part of the troops to meet Uesaka Munanobu and others.
At this time, the situation on the local battlefield suddenly became that the Kyogoku family was attacking Asakura Kageki from the front and rear. Asakura Kageki's troops were not many, so a gap was quickly opened by the Kyogoku family.
When Mitamura Tadamasa saw Shimosaka Masaharu shouting at him from behind, he felt as if he were seeing a relative, and his eyes instantly turned red.
"Master Uesaka, leave quickly!"
"It's too late if you don't leave!" Looking at Uesaka Munanobu, who was still fighting with Asakura Kageki in the crowd, Mitamura Tamasa hurriedly shouted from the side.
After hearing Mitamura Tamasa's words, Uesaka Munebu fought and retreated. Naturally, Asakura Kageki couldn't let go of Uesaka Munanobu, a duck that had reached his mouth, and rushed forward in an attempt to stop Uesaka Munanobu.
The two men next to Uesaka Munanobu glanced at each other, gritted their teeth, turned around and rushed towards Asakura Kageki, but were quickly killed by Asakura Kageki with the help of several samurai.
Even so, when Asakura Kageki looked back for Uesaka Munanobu, Uesaka Munanobu had already disappeared into the crowd.
