Chapter 647: The Battle of Sister River (9)
In the middle reaches, as time passed, Asakura Keiken became more and more impatient, because he found that the Shibata Department on the other side of the river was not as easy to defeat as he imagined, and even now, half an hour has passed, and the Asakura army still has not been able to get ashore.

"What the hell is Naotaka really doing?!" Asakura Keiken scolded secretly, but he also knew that scolding people would not solve any problems at all, so after thinking about it, he sent Tomita Nagashige and Yamazaki Nagatoku out of battle, hoping to continue to put pressure on Shibata by investing more troops, and finally break through the enemy formation and rush ashore.
And over there, Naokoro Mangaku was fighting with Mori Kolong at this time, he was holding a large knife of nearly two meters, and he kept slashing at Mori Kolong. In the face of Naotaka Manga's offensive, Mori Kolong could only rely on his geographical advantage to keep defending. I want to counterattack, but I really can't do it.
"Boy, I didn't expect you to be able to take on so many tricks from me, but if this is your full strength, then you'll be the end of it!" Nakataka looked at Morikolong and said coldly, and then with a swing of the big knife, he slashed straight at Morikolong's neck.
"Bastard! Don't underestimate me! Mori Kolon roared, and the spear in his hand blocked the big knife of the real handle Zhilong, but although it was blocked, the spear he held was constantly pressed to the neck by the real handle Zhilong. Suddenly, Mori Kolong only felt a lightness in his hand, and almost fell down the river, barely standing firmly, only to find that the big knife with the real handle had been slashed again.
"Bastard!" Senkolon cursed and jerked back, knowing that he simply didn't have the strength to block it.
Seeing this, where will Naotaka let go? As soon as he kicked his foot, he rushed to the shore, and with a slash of three swords, he instantly killed the two Oda soldiers next to him, and forced Morikolong back by the way.
"Follow me! Kill it! Naokaka shouted. As soon as he finished speaking, several spears stabbed him. It's just that before he got close to the real handle Naolong, two sword lights appeared, and the attacking spear was split at once.
"Father!"
"Elder brother!"
The people who came were Naosumi Maji, the younger brother of Naotaka Manga, and his son Takashi Magata.
"Just in time, open the gap with me!" Naokaka shouted, and then the three of them wielded broadswords in their hands, constantly slashing and killing the approaching Oda army, so that more and more Asakura troops came ashore.
"That's ...... Naoka Magata...... "Shibata Katsuie looked at it for a while and said to himself, "Nataka Masakari is said to be the number one general of the Asakura family, and Koron alone is probably not an opponent......" muttered, Shibata Katsuie ordered again, "Let Inaba-sama go to support, and the enemy must not rush up!" ”
Downstream, at this time, the Oda army had gradually rushed to the shore with the absolute superiority in numbers. Seeing this, Asai Nagamasa immediately sent Isono Yuanchang and Endo Naokei to lead the army to support, and with the bravery of the two, he was stunned to drive the Oda army out of the sister river.
"Father-sama, those two are Isono and Endo." Oda Nobutada said in a deep voice. Although he was not designated as the heir to the family governor, Oda Nobutada was able to see many things that ordinary retainers could not. After all, even if it is not specified, subconsciously Oda Nobunaga is cultivating Oda Nobutada as an heir. Therefore, Oda Nobutada knows a lot about the noteworthy samurai among the main enemies of the Oda family.
"It's just the two of them......," Oda Nobunaga said lightly, "Summoning the order, hurry up the attack, if they can't even win this situation, then I really have some doubts about whether these people are qualified to hold their current positions." ”
"Yes!"
Soon, Oda Nobunaga's order was conveyed, and suddenly, the offensive of the Oda army became more ferocious. No one doubted the authenticity of Oda Nobunaga's words, especially old ministers like Sakuma Nobumori and Takigawa Kazuki. In fact, over the years, Oda Nobunaga has forced him to live in seclusion on the grounds of a mismatch between ability and status.
Of course, retainers with the status of Sakuma Nobumori and Takigawa Kazuyi naturally can't be forced into seclusion because of such a thing, but if it really drags on for too long, it is estimated that a scolding is indispensable. And that's not what they want to see.
"Bastard! Why did the Oda Army's offensive suddenly become so fierce?! Aren't they afraid of death? Naokei Endo cursed in his heart.
Generally speaking, during the war, when the war was in a stalemate, Ashigaru basically began to grind foreign workers, after all, he was just a peasant soldier, and it was impossible to work for the master's family. It's a pity that the ashigaru of the Oda army is not among them, the identity of a samurai, and Oda Nobunaga has never been stingy with rewards for meritorious people, so that although these ashigaru cannot be said to be afraid of death, their combat style will obviously be much braver.
Obviously, Endo Naokyo didn't know the reason, or he didn't have the time to pay attention to the reason at this time, because the Oda army had already killed the shore again. And this time, although Naokyo Endo and Isono Homamasa continued to resist, they were never able to make the Oda army dare to go down to the sister river again.
"Pass the order down, let the three of them go out into battle!!" Asai Nagamasa ordered with a solemn face, he never thought that he would need to dispatch the three major generals of Hai Chiyu so soon, but unfortunately the situation made him have to compromise. "I don't know what happened to the Asakura army, I hope to defeat the Shibata department......" Asai Nagamasa thought secretly, and now in his opinion, the only chance to win is for the Asakura army to defeat the Shibata department as soon as possible to come to support. As for the Wing Sect? Asai Nagamasa only hoped that they would delay a little longer.
It's just a pity that Asai Nagamasa's idea couldn't be realized. At present, after Tian Qingji, Shiraki Xingjiu and others led the army to kill the army like a wolf and a tiger, Shimoma Lai Zhao was completely panicked. Although he has learned some military knowledge, it is not that he has not been on the battlefield, but every time, he just incited those believers, and finally won by crushing them with absolute superiority in troops. But now, when the advantage of military strength is not there, he really doesn't know what to do.
Perhaps, this is the so-called incompetence of one general to exhaust the three armies, right? Without a command, although there were 50,000 people in the first sect, in the face of the onslaught of the Oda army, some experienced people still knew how to pull a bunch of people together to fight the enemy, but most of them were just fighting on their own. It's just that where can their combat effectiveness compare to the Oda Army?
"It's over......," Oda Yoshinobu whispered as he looked into the distance, without a happy expression on his face. Because in his heart, there was really nothing to be happy about beating this group of peasants.
