In the face of Sasaki Mataro's disrespectful words, Izumiyama Naoyoshi also felt anger in his heart. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Phew! Just a nameless person, tonight look at my Quanshan Zhiyi to take your head! Izumiyama Naoyoshi immediately scolded, and then rushed towards Sasaki Mataro with a knife.

Seeing this, Izumiyama Uemon also hurriedly commanded the ashigaru behind him to follow.

Seeing that the southern family was so shameless, the second squadron's ashigaru also hurriedly stood on both sides of Sasaki Mataro, staring closely at the southern family ashigaru who was approaching.

In the blink of an eye, the two armies were intertwined.

"Kill!" Sasaki Mataro shouted, and the sword in his hand flew towards Naoyoshi Izumiyama, who rushed up.

Sasaki Mataro's voice didn't arrive, and the knife arrived first.

The sudden appearance of the sword jumped Izumiyama Naoyoshi, stopped the pace of the charge, and then hurriedly rolled on the spot, dodging Sasaki Mataro's attack. However, due to the layers of stone steps under his feet, Izumiyama Naoyoshi felt a tingle in his back at this time.

"Huh! I didn't expect me to really underestimate you! Izumiyama Naoyoshi stood firm, clenched the sword in his hand, and pointed to Sasaki Mataro in front of him and said.

Sasaki Mataro smiled, "Izumiyama Naoyoshi, I heard that you are one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the South. Even if you can't kill Nanbu Qingzheng tonight, with your head here, it's worth the trip. Ha ha! ”

"Arrogance!" At this time, Izumiyama Uemon beside Izumiyama Naoyoshi couldn't help it, and immediately shouted, and rushed over with a knife like Sasaki Mataro.

Sasaki Mataro's eyes froze, and when Izumiyama Uemon was only a few steps away from Sasaki Mataro, Sasaki Mataro suddenly moved.

The sword is like a feather arrow from the string, and the rainbow crosses the sun like a strange arc, "click"! "Poof!"

Both voices rang out almost simultaneously.

Izumiyama Uemon was stunned as he looked at the sword in his hand, which had been cut off by Saigen, and the right hand that was bleeding from his right arm.

It's a pity that Mataro Sasaki won't give him a chance to react.

"Uemon, be careful!" Naoyoshi Izumiyama in the rear shouted anxiously at the Izumiyama Uemon in front of him, but after shouting, Naoyoshi Izumiyama couldn't help but close his eyes.

Silently wiping the blood stains on the knife, Sasaki Mataro once again set his eyes on the people of the southern family in front of him, "But there are still people who are not afraid of death?" ”

"Bastard!" Izumiyama Naoyoshi trembled, Izumiyama Naoyoshi's parents died early, and Izumiyama Uemon can be said to have been raised by Izumiyama Naoyoshi. For this younger brother, Izumiyama Naoyoshi pampered far more than Izumiyama Naoyoshi's three sons.

Now Izumiyama Uemon is suddenly dead, which makes Izumiyama Naoyoshi unbearable.

"Give me all the rush! Kill this person of Sasaki Mataro and reward a hundred dollars! "Izumiyama Naoyoshi did not take the courage of the moment, but commanded the hundreds of ashigaru charges behind him. Izumiyama Uemon's martial arts Izumiyama Naoyoshi knows very well, although it is not as good as Izumiyama Naoyoshi, but it is not much different. Sasaki Mataro killed Izumiyama Uemon in only 2 moves, although there was no lack of luck, but this had already made Izumiyama Naoyoshi lose the courage to fight with one of them.

"Since there are so many of us, a fool will ride with you!" Izumiyama Naoyoshi looked at Sasaki Matataro and the others, who were almost "surrounded" by his own ashigaru, and secretly thought to himself, "Uemon, don't worry!" I'll avenge you! ”

The troops under the command of Izumiyama Naoyoshi are all the troops that followed Izumiyama Naoyoshi to raid the Tsugawa family's main camp two days ago, and it can be said that they have been screened by the Great War. Those who can still stay now are naturally the elite of the elite.

Coupled with the fact that there are more people than the second squadron, it naturally occupies an advantage.

Relying on his own martial arts, Sasaki Mataro simply swung his sword and rushed into the enemy formation.

However, in such a melee of hundreds of people, the personal martial arts are not of much practical use. Rather, it's a test of the ashigaru's coordination and morale.

The so-called two fists are hard to beat four hands, which is probably the case.

When Sasaki Mataro first rushed into the enemy line, it was indeed very smooth, and he won four or five southern families in a row. However, when the samurai of the southern family found out about this situation, they hurriedly organized troops to besiege and kill.

Although Sasaki Mataro is strong in martial arts, but the good tiger can't stand the wolves, and under the siege of more than a dozen ashigaru and samurai from the southern family, Sasaki Mataro can only be defeated and retreat.

This retreat lowered the morale of the second squadron a lot, and more importantly, the offensive slowed down.

This made Izumiyama Naoyoshi seize the opportunity, "Quick! The enemy can't hold on, everyone rush with me! ”

"Kill!" Seeing that the second squadron's ashigaru had shown its "defeat", the ashigaru of the southern family was naturally unwilling to let go of this opportunity to be promoted and make a fortune, and they all howled and rushed forward from the Tsugawa family ashigaru.

In the face of the fierce offensive of the southern Ashigaru, Sasaki Mataro stood firmly in place, raised his right hand and said loudly, "Second squadron!" Abandon the gun, round the array! ”

With Sasaki Mataro's order, the ashigaru members of the second squadron threw the wooden spears in their hands on the ground one after another, and then each drew out the sword at his waist. One by one, the sharp swords were pulled out of their scabbards, and then a neat formation was formed in the hands of the 50 ashigaru.

Due to the narrow terrain at the stone steps, the spears used by the ashigaru people naturally could not be used, so the spears were far less light than his knives at this time.

However, the ashigaru of the Tsugawa family each drew out their swords and set up a round formation, but the ashigaru of the southern family was not treated so well. The ashigaru were only holding a long bamboo spear in their hands, and when the ashigaru standing in the front row stretched out their spears, everyone found that the ashigaru in the back row could no longer use the spears in their hands to attack mode.

As a result, although there are more than 100 troops in these southern families, they can only use the people who stand in the first or second rows to participate in the battle, and as for the dozens of ashigaru in the back, I am afraid that it will be good not to become a burden at that time.

Izumiyama Naoyoshi finally realized that something was wrong at this time, the Tsugawa family's Ashigaru had already replaced with a sword, and in such a crowded place, it was naturally much less labor-saving than his own Ashigaru using a long and clumsy spear.

"Something is wrong!" Naoyoshi Izumiyama suddenly thought in his heart.

However, the situation is not good for the Izumiyama Naoyi team. The same happened to the Hokushin Ai team, which was killed on the right side of the main hall.

Compared with the five-color preparation of the Tsukawa family, although the subordinates of Kitanobu Ai and Izumiyama Naoyoshi are also elite, they are not equipped with spears! On the frontal battlefield, spears, which are inches long and strong, naturally have an advantage, but in a narrow area such as the inside of the temple, spears become an obstacle at this time.

Among the southern family troops in the temple, only a few of the banners of the southern Harimasa used the Taidao. In the face of Qingbei and Huang Bei's sharp offensive, the ashigaru of the southern family was a little unable to support it.
