Just when Ichijoji Kunishiro just felt relaxed, suddenly, the miserable howl behind him was replaced by the sound of shouting and killing, Ichijoji Kunishiro couldn't help but look back, only to see hundreds of ashigaru under the leadership of two samurai, chasing after him, it was obvious that his move to escape was discovered by the enemy.

Ichishiroji Guoxing was flustered in his heart, although there were about 200 monks gathered around him at this time, but these monks only wanted to escape now, I am afraid that even if they turn around and fight now, they will definitely not be the opponent of the Oda army, but if they don't stop them, if they want to escape, I'm afraid it is impossible.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Yicheng Temple Guoxing had to take the practice of a strong man breaking his wrist to buy himself some more time, thinking of this, he immediately ordered: "Jueyuan, you immediately lead a hundred monks and soldiers, no matter what, you have to block the pursuing soldiers, go quickly." ”

Although Jueyuan's ability is not strong, but because he is quite good at slapping horses, he has won the trust of Yicheng Temple Guoxing, especially after cooperating with him to let Jueqing go last time, he has become his confidant.

Ke Jueyuan also knew that if he stayed to block the enemy at this time, it would obviously be a dead end, but he knew that there was a fire pit in front of the road, but he couldn't help but jump, and disobedience was also a dead end, so he gritted his teeth and said: "Please rest assured, the disciple will definitely drag the enemy army." ”

Although he had some courage, but the group of monks and soldiers were unwilling to go with him to die, and the two hundred monks and soldiers around him were not all monks of the Yicheng Temple, and now people's lives were at stake, let alone Jueyuan, even the abbots of the temples were difficult to mobilize them.

Seeing that the pursuers were getting closer and closer, there was no longer time to wait, so Jueyuan finally only led more than fifty monks and soldiers to turn over, wanting to fight the enemy.

Seeing that the enemy was split in two, and a small part of them was rushing towards him, the bee house Yoritaka, who was only one horse away from Shibata Katsuharu, unexpectedly slowed down. Gradually, the distance was widened, and soon it changed from a horse body to about ten meters, and the distance was still expanding. And the speed of the Ashigaru generals led by him has slowed down, and of course there is no reason for them not to slow down.

And Shibata Katsuharu was running forward intently, not noticing the abnormality behind him at all.

Of course, Beehouse Yoryū doesn't want to carry forward the style and give this credit to Shibata Katsuharu, and in the current situation, only by retreating and taking the lead can he seize the opportunity as a veteran of the battlefield. Bee House Ryūtaka Zhi said, if he is still going hand in hand with Shibata Katsuharu as he did just now, he is faster than himself, and in the face of the monks' blockage, as long as he can rush over with his strength, those monks are afraid that they will be able to deal with themselves with all their strength, but now that he has slowed down, then the group of monks will have to play with Shibata Katsuharu, as long as they are entangled. Then the credit is definitely your own.

Just as Beehouse Yoryu thought, that group of monks was already fighting with Shibata Katsuharu at the moment, waiting for him to break through. I'm afraid I've already taken the enemy's head.

Because the bee house Lailong had already distanced himself from the front army, he had enough distance to bypass the two sides that were fighting, and he saw that while he was detouring, he smiled and said: "Thank you, Lord Shibata, for helping to block the enemy army, and after taking the enemy leader, you will definitely ask your lord to get drunk and rest, haluha." ”

Shibata Katsuharu couldn't help but be furious when he saw him cheating, and wanted to say a few words in return, but he couldn't say it. I had to watch the bee house Rylong continue to move forward, and there was no way at all.

"The head of the thief is gone, I am the general of the Oda family, Beehouse Yoritaka, I am here to take your head, take your life." Since the fifty monks had been dragged down by Shibata Katsuharu, it can be said that the Bee House Yoryū and his troops were unimpeded all the way. In the blink of an eye, he was behind the Ichicheng Temple Guoxing and more than a hundred monks and soldiers. …,

"Quick, stop the enemy, go quickly." Seeing that the enemy had chased after him, he couldn't help but shout loudly, the way to life was in front of him, how could he let it go, when more than 100 monks heard this order and were hesitating whether to carry it out, Yicheng Temple Guoxing had already taken a big step and rushed forward.

"It's not that easy to run. Come and kill all the monks and soldiers who are in the way. After saying that, the bee house Lailong did not stop at all, and chased forward alone, he stepped off the horse, and the other party was only two legs, how could he run.

Although Yicheng Temple Guoxing had already run more than 100 meters first, he was still easily caught up by Beehouse Lailong, and he had to stop and fight.

Although Ichishiro Temple Guoxing has some courage, it is enough to deal with Ashigaru or a low-level samurai, with his ability, but Bee House Lailong has received orthodox martial arts learning since he was a child, and it is not comparable to the mud leg of Ichissuni Temple Guoxing.

As soon as the two fought, he was at an absolute disadvantage, originally he thought that even if he couldn't beat the other party, it should not be difficult to insist on being undefeated, but after only three rounds, he was already a little unable to support it, if it was placed in normal times, it would not be like this, but just now he spent a lot of physical strength in order to open a bloody path, so every time he took a move from Bee House Lailong, he could shake his arm sore.

By the fifth round, he couldn't control his sore arm, and the long-handled knife fell to the ground.

How could Lai Long of the bee house let go of such an opportunity, turned over his hand and shot it, and stabbed into the heart of the Ichicheng Temple Guoxing. And those monks and soldiers who were about to flee didn't have the heart to fight again, and now the Yicheng Temple Guoxing was being taken again, so they abandoned the opponents in front of them one after another and fled in all directions.

The battle ahead did not seem to be smooth on the side of the bee house Yoryu, and at this moment the monks and soldiers of the various temples had gathered together, and the number of them was not much less than that of the Oda army, so now it was relieved, and although the formation was loose, it would take a lot of effort to defeat it.

Akechi Mitsuhide had come to the front line to personally command, but the monk was still resisting stubbornly, but after the hundreds of troops of Bee House Yoritaka and Shibata Katsuharu joined the battle, the Oda army suddenly gained the upper hand, and just as the monk soldiers were struggling to support, suddenly the dust rose from the west, and nearly a thousand Oda troops were rushing towards their side.

"Report to the lord, all the temples that participated in the rebellion such as Longsheng Temple have been burned down, and the monks and soldiers left behind in the temple have been slaughtered, and the lord is asked to decide."

As soon as he came to Akechi Mitsuhide, Saito Toshizo shouted in his characteristic loud voice, and this news was heard not only by Akechi Mitsuhide, but also by the monks and soldiers who were fighting with the Oda army in front of him.

Originally, when they saw the arrival of the enemy's reinforcements, neither the abbot nor the monks wanted to fight anymore, but now when they heard the news, they no longer thought about anything but fleeing, and before the army led by the wise Samasuke and Saito Rizo arrived, the monks collapsed first.

Since the Oda army has almost all been concentrated in the front, this has given those abbots and monks a way to escape, but poor Ichitoji Kunixing, if he fights with other temples, there is still a way to escape and ascend to heaven, but he chose a path of no return.

Seeing that the enemy army had been defeated, Akechi Mitsuhide did not want to let them go. I only heard him command loudly: "Give me chase, if you can kill one more person, you will never be soft." ”

Akechi Mitsuhide knew in his heart that if these thieves were allowed to escape, most of them would definitely go to Enryakuji Temple, which would be tantamount to asking for trouble for themselves, and it would be better to kill more than that, so as to reduce the pressure in the future.

And the samurai of the Oda family were also happy to do so, the monks and soldiers they had killed a lot, but because when they rushed in, the enemy had already begun to concentrate, so no one killed the enemy's head, originally they all thought that this merit was hopeless, but they didn't expect that the wise man actually gave him this opportunity, so how could there be half a minute of hesitation, they were like wild horses, each with their troops to chase towards the target they had set. …,

And now the monks and soldiers just want to escape, and some even throw away the weapons in their hands in order to run faster, where is the opponent of the Oda army, although the battle did not last long, however, the results obtained are not small, after the big killing, several samurai have the head of the temple abbot pinned to their waists.

In this battle, in addition to the abbot of Longsheng Temple who escaped, the remaining six abbots, including Ichicheng Temple Guoxing, were all beheaded, and countless monks and soldiers were beheaded.

After the first battle, the strength of the temple of the southern general can no longer be described as a great injury to the vitality, and it is not too much to say that it is even uprooted.

To achieve such a result, the losses of the Oda army were not small, in addition to the death of several lower-ranking samurai, they also lost six or seven hundred ashigaru.

When the army was assembled, there were only about 2,500 left, from more than 3,000 ashigaru.

However, Akechi Mitsuhide is still very satisfied with such a result, this battle has fully proved his ability, I am afraid that even if the Takayama clan is personally commanded here, he will not be stronger than himself, there is such a battle, even Oda Nobunaga will look at himself differently.

As for the samurai who died in battle, he didn't think much about it, first, this army was not under his command at all, and no matter how many people died, he didn't need to feel distressed, and second, how could there be immortals in a war.

After the army regrouped and the casualties were counted, Akechi Mitsuhide wanted to immediately lead the army back to the mountain city, but seeing that Ashigaru was already tired, he had to find a nearby Oda family castle and rest for a day or two.

If the enemy is another powerful force, he can let the ashigaru people rest while hurrying, but now that the enemy is the famous Enryakuji monk soldiers, then he doesn't dare to be careless, it is better to act after recuperating and recuperating, and when he is resting, he will also send someone to Changguang Temple Castle to report to Shibata Katsuie, otherwise, in addition to the military strength he brought, the remaining Shibata army itself has no possibility of mobilizing them.
