Before Asakura Sotechi arrived at the battlefield, Kyogoku Takamasa noticed the movements of the Asakura family's main formation. That's why Hatayama Chonobu and others accelerated their offensive in order to expand their advantage as soon as possible and gain the initiative on the battlefield.
At this time, Hatayama Asanobu also discovered Asakura Kageki, who was very conspicuous among the Asakura family's troops in front. He was eager to make a contribution and rushed towards Asakura Kageki.
In order to avoid having his flanks empty due to his own attack and being broken through by the enemy, Hatayama Chonobu only brought a dozen of Kyogoku Takamasa's flanking samurai to join the battlefield, while the others continued to attack the surrounded Asakura family. Move on both sides to narrow the surrounding net.
The current situation on the local battlefield is very good for the Kyogoku family. As long as Asakura Kageki's troops can be quickly destroyed, maybe the Kyogoku family can turn defeat into victory!
Obviously, on the battlefield, although the Kyogoku family's troops were attacked from both sides by the Asakura family, the real threat to the survival of the Kyogoku family was Asakura Kageki and others who broke into the battle. Whether it was Horie Keiyu at the front of the battlefield or Yamazaki Yoshie blocking the rear, the troops under their command were all composed of peasant soldiers, and their combat effectiveness was extremely underground.
As for the troops under Asakura Kageki's command, in addition to peasant soldiers, they were mostly well-equipped samurai and ashigaru. They were considered to be the most combat-effective troops of the Asakura family on this occasion.
These days, even the overlords of Hokuriku like the Asakura family don't have much elite combat power. In fact, before the emergence of the "separation of soldiers and peasants", it was often a very small number of warriors who truly led the war. The number of peasants and soldiers was only a means of deterring the enemy, rather than a key force that determined the direction of the war.
Therefore, although the Kyogoku family is at an absolute disadvantage at this time, if Asakura Kageki can be defeated, the remaining battle will become extremely simple.
With the impact of the cavalry, let alone breaking out of the Asakura family's siege, I am afraid that they can directly defeat the Asakura family's troops and turn defeat into victory!
Hatayama Asanobu knew this, and Kyogoku Takamasa naturally knew this, so Kyogoku Takamasa immediately rushed over with his people in person after opening the door to Nobuharu Baba.
Hatayama Chonobu and his men rushed towards Asakura Kageki in the crowd. For a moment, Hatayama Chonobu shouted, "Hatayama Uchizosuke is here, the trash of the Asakura family, come and take him to death!"
"court death!"
Looking at Hatayama Asanobu rushing towards him, Asakura Kageki rushed over not to be outdone. At this time, in the eyes of Asakura Kageki, Hatayama Asanobu was just a reckless man who wanted to die.
"Clang!"
The two swords suddenly collided together, making a sound of metal collision.
A huge force came from the sword. Hatayama Asanobu suddenly felt a numbness in his right hand, and he could hardly hold the sword steadily.
"So strong!"
"I am no match for you!"
With just a moment of contact, Hatayama Asanobu knew that he was definitely no match for the Asakura family samurai with a fierce look in front of him. Cursing himself secretly, before Asakura Kageki could strike with his second sword, Hatayama Asanobu turned around and ran away!
Asakura Kageki was stunned for a moment, then said angrily, "Asshole! Damn it! You are as timid as a mouse!!!"
"Don't run!"
Mud, I just saw Hatayama Asanobu shouting in such a pretentious manner. Although Asakura Kageki didn't take it seriously, he didn't expect that he was such a trash?
Hatayama took three steps and two steps at a time, and ran directly to the vicinity of Kyogoku Takamasa. After seeing Kyogoku Takamasa, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"My lord, the enemy general has been lured out of the formation by me!" Looking at Kyogoku Takamasa who was calm and composed in front of him, Hatayama Asanobu hid the panic in his eyes, and then pointed behind him without blushing or breathing. said Asakura Kageki who was chasing after him.
Kyogoku Takamasa had long paid attention to the previous scene, and did not say anything about Hatayama Asanobu at this time. After all, Asakura Kageki did come out of the formation.
Silently signaling Hatayama Chaobu to step aside, Kyogoku Takamasa slowly pulled out his sword from his waist.
Kyogoku Takamasa's original saber was the Iwakiri given to him by Aisu Kutada, but Kyogoku Takamasa gave it away during his trip to Shinano, and he has not found a suitable saber for so long.
At this time, Kyogoku Takamasa was equipped with the sword of Asai Ryomasa, which was acquired by Kyogoku Takamasa after Asai Ryomasa's death. It was originally intended to be sent to Imahama Castle for collection, but after casually looking at the inscription on the sword, Kyogoku Takamasa took it for his own use.
From afar, Asakura Kageki noticed Kyogoku Takamasa who looked very extraordinary among the crowd. When he got closer, Asakura Kageki burst out laughing.
"You are Sakyo Kyogoku, who is also known as Yasha Saburo. What a pity. Today is destined to be your death!" From Kyogoku Takamasa's age and equipment, Asakura Kageki could easily recognize Kyogoku Takamasa. .
"Your Excellency seems very confident, but before that, could you tell me at the hands of whom Saburo Kyogoku will die today?"
"Yangguchi kid, remember, the person who insulted your life is Echizen Asakura Sunkuro!"
"Ha!" Kyogoku Takamasa smiled slightly, but he didn't expect that he would bump into Asakura Kageki? !
So, this person must die!
Sudden!
There was no smile on Kyogoku Takamasa's face, he clenched the handle of the knife with both hands, and then his whole body exuded an invisible but extremely pretentious deadly aura. Without waiting for Asakura Kageki to react, Kyogoku Takamasa accelerated and then slashed at Asakura Kageki.
Sarutobi's art!
Draw your sword and chop!
Aggregation is one size fits all!
Hyuga cross chop!
With one operation as fierce as a tiger, Kyogoku Takamasa directly activated Wushuang, beating Asakura Kageki until he was unable to fight back, and retreated one after another under Kyogoku Takamasa's fierce offensive.
Asakura Kageki was already in a panic at this time. Although he had long heard that Kyogoku Gaomasa's military skills were outstanding, it was just hearsay, and Asakura Kageki never took it seriously. After all, how powerful can a "little kid" who is only in his teens be?
But now Asakura Kageki knows that he was wrong, and how wrong he was.
Fortunately, Asakura Kageki was not fighting alone. Some samurai who were approaching saw that Asakura Kageki was in danger and didn't care so much. They rushed forward and surrounded Kyogoku Takamasa.
But Hatayama Asanobu, Mitsui Toraka and others were not just decorations, they also quickly joined the battle, and a melee ensued.
After all, it was Kyogoku Takamasa and others who were stronger. With a group of strong men such as Kyogoku Takamasa, Mitsui Toraka, Hatayama Asanobu, Nagasaka Nobumasa, Onoki Kunishige, etc., they soon defeated Asakura Kageki's side. Killed from the side to death.
At this time, more Kyogoku family troops had surrounded Asakura Keiki's team. Some of the Asakura family troops who came to support were directly dispersed by the cavalry, and the situation reversed instantly.
Looking at Asakura Kageki and others standing alone on the battlefield, Kyogoku Takamasa finally smiled again.
It was very appropriate for Hatayama Asanobu to stand up again. He had behaved a little embarrassingly just now, but now it was time to re-establish his "great" image.
However, just as Hatayama raised his sword at Nobubu, Asakura Sotechi came to kill him.
For a moment, Hatayama Asanobu felt a slight urge to urinate...
