Chapter 165: Both sides lose
However, Kumagai Shin tried it twice, but he couldn't pull out his knife at all. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info because the opponent's shoulder armor was too strong, and he was too hard just now, so that the katana stuck on Miyamoto Takeno's shoulder armor, and he couldn't pull it out at this time.
He gritted his teeth and let go of the hand holding the sword, he was a traditional samurai, and for him, the katana that accompanied him was as important as life. But if he doesn't do it at this time, one of his hands will be scrapped.
The moment Nobunao Kumagai let go of his hand, his hand shrank back, dodging Miyamoto Takeno's killing move. Then he grabbed his katana again and kicked Miyamoto in the shoulder, successfully pulling his own katana back. But when he wanted to get out of the way, Miyamoto Takeno's katana was already in close contact with his right arm.
With all his might, Miyamoto slashed Kumagai Nobuna's unsturdy arm, and cut a wound on his hand that had been turned up to the sides.
"Father."
Just when Miyamoto Takeno was about to endure the pain and continue to attack, Kumagai Takano led people to rush over and forced Miyamoto Takeno to retreat, and the soldiers of the Kuroda family saw that the samurai on their side were injured, and they immediately stood up for him to resist the attack of the Kumagai family.
The two sides were once again at a stalemate, until the end of this wave of attacks, because of Kumagai Nobunao's injury, the morale of the soldiers dropped a lot, and the Kumagai family was never able to move forward.
The two samurai fought on one horse, but they were both defeated, Miyamoto Takeno was stabbed in the shoulder, and Kumagai Nobunao was stabbed in the right arm. The battle between the ordinary soldiers on both sides was the same result, and in the end there was a draw.
The two sides fought for nearly half an hour, and the Kumagai family suffered nearly 100 casualties, and the Kuroda family benefited from the dense formation, plus the care of the wounded, only a dozen people died, and more than 20 wounded soldiers, who were replaced in the rear of the army, where soldiers familiar with simple medical knowledge did simple treatment for them.
The most important loss of the Kumagai family and Takenaka Shigeji was that one samurai was injured each, but Kumagai Nobunao was the chief general of the first army, and Miyamoto Takeno was just an ordinary samurai of the Kuroda family, and he also delayed the Maori family for a long time, so in general, the Kuroda family did not suffer a loss.
Less than a few minutes before Nobunao Kumagai retreated, Amano's grand team pressed up.
Amano's solemn martial arts are not as good as Kumagai Nobunao, but fortunately, after just blocking Kumagai Nobunao's attack, Miyamoto Takeno has also been injured and needs to receive simple treatment in the rear.
Among Amano's grand team, there are also his sons Amano Motoaki, Amano Takehiro, Amano Motosuke, Amano Moto, Amano Motoka, and Amano Motonobu six people. They all have a certain amount of martial arts, so they were brought by Amano ceremoniously.
The front line was replaced by the Oda Shigetsu brothers with two teams, and the Kuroda family once again placed an improvised rejection horse at the front.
At the beginning, Amano Motoka and Amano Motoshin took more than 100 people to kill, and the two brothers, Oda Shigetsu and Oda Ryotsu, took over the two of them without backing down.
Oda Shigetsu is relatively not good at martial arts, and his strengths are handling internal affairs and giving advice, so when he fights with Motoka Amano, he can't take advantage of it at all, and he is at a disadvantage from the beginning. And Oda Ryotsu is now a well-known general in Kuroda's family, and he directly suppressed the other party against Amano Motoshin.
Amano Motoka was unforgiving, and slashed at Oda Shigetsu as fast as lightning, and Oda Mototsu also knew that at this time, the best response was that he could drag the enemy in front of him, so that Oda Ryotsu could solve his opponent first.
So even though Oda Shigetsu was extremely aggrieved by Motoka Amano, he didn't say anything for help. Because he noticed that Oda Ryōtsu at this time had already gained a great advantage in the battle, just like the opponent he was facing. He only has one thought now, that is, he hopes that his younger brother can quickly defeat his opponent and make a substantial breakthrough, and then come to help him defeat his opponent.
And now directly opposite him, Amano Motonobu, who is fighting with Oda Ryotsu, also has the same idea as Oda Shigetsu in his heart at this time, hoping that his brother can quickly win the opponent and then help him.
That is to say, the two pairs of opponents who are fighting now have a large gap in strength, and the weaker ones are just struggling to support. We can say that both of them chose the wrong opponent, and that both of these weaklings are still trying to delay the time before they fail, pinning their hopes of survival on their brothers.
However, Motonobu Amano was destined to be disappointed, and when his fifth brother Motoka Amano had not yet defeated Oda Shigerome, he felt that he could no longer stand it.
At this time, Amano Motonobu may be disappointed, because until the battle, he has felt that his hand has been opposite him, this opponent who is as powerful as an ox, he is a little trembling, he doesn't know how long he can hold on, and he doesn't know if he can survive in the end.
In fact, at this time, Oda Shigetsu's situation is really similar to Amano's Motoshin's, but the two of them have a difference, that is, Amano Motoshin, who was born in the famous family of An Yun, is already a little scared in the face of a strong opponent at this time, this alone and his fierce general father are not the same mold at all, and he does not have the cruelty that he should have as a fierce general.
A samurai who is not cruel enough to himself is difficult to become a person who can gallop on the battlefield, and this is exactly what Motonobu Amano lacks.
Opposite him, Shigetsu Oda, the eldest son of a small wealthy family in Tajima, has known forbearance since he was a child, and knows that if he wants to achieve his goals. Sometimes the children of a small wealthy family, don't look at it at home, they are absolutely spoiled, but outside, when getting along with the big names, big families, and Chinese people, they have to endure everything, even the insults of others.
At that time, the Yamana family was defeated by the Kuroda family, and Yamana Yutoyo escaped all the way from Izushiyama Castle and stopped when he came to his house. His father kindly entertained his lord, but Yamana Yutoyo had a limited number of soldiers (in fact, cannon fodder) because of the new defeat around him, so he ordered his father to follow him to Inaba Province. Because his father was unwilling to go, he was ordered to be killed directly by the head of the Yamana family, Yamana Yutoyo. At the suggestion of Oda Shigetsu, he and the two brothers Oda Ryotsu took their own 100 troops and followed the Yamana family together.
