Chapter 198: Striking the Crowd (Part II)

On the battlefield, the sound of killing shook the sky. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The Katayama Legion did not stop, they continued to advance towards Kanesaki Castle in unison, the death of tens of thousands of people condensed on their bodies, and a terrifying momentum pressed towards the crowd, pressing everyone up and down.

Qili Lai Zhou, who was sitting in the Chinese army, had an extremely ugly face, and said coldly: "Damn! "The Katayama Legion came over in spite of the weariness, not in haste, but in contempt, contempt for overconfidence, for the cowardice and incompetence of the crowd, for the incompetence of his command.

Qili Lai Zhou is very much like throwing them all out, piling up the enemy with human lives. He believed that human lives could be used to bring down the enemy, and that ten or twenty lives were exchanged for one life of the enemy. But he couldn't do that, and if he did, even if he won a victory, his reputation would plummet, and his position and power would be supported by prestige, and without it he would have nothing.

Someone must make sacrifices, and Qili Laizhou ordered: "The left flank is the front, immediately delay the enemy's attack, and the right flank will immediately leave the battlefield with the men and horses of the headquarters, withdraw from the battlefield of Kanesaki City, and withdraw to the direction of Suicheng." "Most of the left-wing members are from Echizen country.

The sound of the horn sounded suddenly, and the low and poignant voice suddenly overshadowed the sound of more than 3,000 pairs of feet walking, and clearly reached everyone's ears. The face of the main commander of the left wing turned pale in an instant, and the bad news of the annihilation of the front army came, and now let them change to the front army to attack and repeat the mistakes of the past.

"It's time to correct the name of Honsenji Temple!" "Fight for Matsuoka Temple!" "Long live Kokyoji Temple!" There was a lot of noise in the left flank, and the hula were divided into three teams, all disorganized, shouting and screaming, and they swarmed towards the Katayama army.

The descendants of the losers of the Toroku War 189 years ago returned to Kaga to show their loyalty to Ishiyama Honganji after receiving a broken gate from Ishiyama Honganji Temple, while others remained in the lower echelons of Echizen Province to preach.

Kaga Ichijo established the kingdom of earthly Buddhism, which was soon split into two factions, the big and the small, of which the eldest was a disciple of Wada Motokakuji Temple and Fujishima Chaokatsuji Temple who were driven to Kaga Province by the Asakura family after the Battle of the Nine-Headed Ryukawa; Correspondingly, Koichi refers to the disciples of Wakamatsu Izumi-ji Temple, Hasayaya Matsuoka Temple, and Yamada Kokyo-ji Temple in Kaga Province.

Among them, Koichi won the de facto ruling power of Kaga Province, and the seven sons of the Lotus Master were in charge of the affairs of the country, and had always disobeyed the tune of Ishiyama Honganji. The young and vigorous Shinfa Lord Ruru succeeded to the throne and listened to the words of Hasumi, who was a later man, and wanted to directly control the power of Honganji Temple in Hokuriku.

An irreparable rift immediately appeared between the two sides, and the actual controller of Daichi, Zhengru, suddenly made a difficulty, and in just a few days, the overall situation was decided, and Ishiyama Honganji directly controlled the power of Kaga Province and Hokuriku Honganji, which is also the reason why Shichiri Raishu was able to win the throne in one fell swoop.

Originally belonging to the indigenous Xiao Yi Yu was driven to Echizen Province, the trend of burning the plain caused a huge repercussion among the people, Xiao Yi Yu developed, Qili Lai Zhou led the army to attack, before the war Qili Lai Zhou in order to win the hearts of the people deliberately Dong'an Hospital across the wall became the location of the meeting.

The "Xianglu Confusion" that shook the Hokuriku ended with the complete defeat of the small one Fang Sanli Temple. The disciples of Wada Motokakuji and Fujishima Chaokatsuji Temple, who were originally from Echizen Province, replaced Koichi Ku as the ruling force of Kaga Province with the support of Somune, and the Koichi Kata Sanriji faction was expelled from Kaga to Echizen Province, and some of the middle and lower rank Koicchi forces returned to Kaga after being forgiven, and a large part stayed in Echizen Province to develop their forces, and participated in the Shichiri Raishu uprising.

The losers of the group of Zihara Koichi who stayed in Echizen did not have too much hatred for the big one who drove them away, but they were ashamed and embarrassed that they did not follow the general sect closely, otherwise they would not be willing to act as the thugs of Qili Lai Zhou.

The loser of Hara Koichi has made up his mind to prove himself on the battlefield to follow in the footsteps of Honganji, so that the people of Honganji can take a good look at how they have repented and turned around gorgeously, proving that their battle has finally come.

The Katayama Corps came from Misakuping and Township, and the backbone of the people were all from the Misaku people who studied Takeuchi, and later attacked the mountain **** all the way, and Inba, Boqi, especially after Tajima and Tango, after the expansion, the heroes of these places joined one after another.

The one who took charge of the arrow was none other than a countryman from Tajima, Sunan Juro Saemon, who carried the flag of the Date family on his back. However, his breastplate is decorated with three papaya family crests, which are the family crests of the Su Nan clan, and the Echizen famous Asakura clan are from the same Kusakabe clan, and they are the descendants of the Yagi clan, which is a branch of the Asakura clan.

Shunan Juro Saemon pulled down the only remaining short spear and projected it to the beat of the drum, and a large gap appeared in the array in front of him, and his throwing gun shot into the neck of an enemy general, and with inertia, it pierced the chest of one of the people behind him, killing both of them.

The wounded screamed loudly, and some rolled around on the ground in pain. The living were frightened, they woke up from the frenzy of the beginning, and felt the horror of despair, yes, two successive rounds of throwing guns made their originally dense formation suddenly thin out a lot, and their former companions and old friends fell to the ground, and the still alive stretched out their hands and howled and begged for their salvation. There was a dead silence on the battlefield, from fanaticism to despair, but it was only the time of two short shots.

The fact that the frenzied charge was stopped did not mean that the Katayama Legion also stopped attacking, according to their discipline, after firing two waves of short guns, it was a charge, and in the past, this method of warfare was invincible, and often after the first wave of short guns was projected, the enemy would disintegrate, and even if it did not collapse, it would be desperate under their brutal attack.

The commander of the arrow, Kuran Juro Saemon raised the sword, yes, because most of the backbone of the Katayama Legion came from Takeuchi, and more than ninety percent of the entire legion were armed with swords of various sizes, which may also be the reason why they were reluctant to use firearms.

The deathly silence, the tragic aura of death enveloped the bloody battlefield, exuding a suffocating terror.

Shunan Juro Saemon was the first to let out a roar, and he barely stopped attacking with his sword, and took the lead in slashing down a dumbfounded enemy soldier, revealing the face of a terrified young man from the old hat that fell from his fall.

Su Nanjuro Saemon was not sentimental, what a death thing to be stunned on the battlefield, fiercely brandished the sword, and almost without a pause crashed into the array of a fang, the knife in his hand did not stop, and the miserable sound continued to sound, hitting the hearts of the soldiers of a fang, terrifying and frightened.

The psychological quality of the party facing the front line was first disintegrated, and it was only a short time from fanaticism to despair. Once there is a defeat, there is no guarantee that there will be no second, what a stupid thing it is to turn around and flee, to give the back to the enemy, and to speed up the collapse of the left flank of the first side.

It is like a mace hitting the psychological defense line of a fang, beating again and again, and the one who touches it will die, and the one in it will die. The soldiers of the Katayama Army fought bravely and fought fiercely. The left flank, which was retreating one after another, did not dare to face the Katayama army, and they fled to both sides.

Qili Laizhou, who was at the rear of the battlefield, saw the collapsed left flank and thought of the collapse of the deserters in the front, he didn't expect that there was such a strong army in Date at home, and his heart was full of fear, and he completely lost the demeanor of the famous generals in the past.

Qili Lai Zhou couldn't suppress the fear in his heart, and shouted loudly: "Retreat, retreat!" He didn't care that there were still two troops in the city attacking the city, and he didn't want to save the collapsed left flank, the only thing he thought about was to get out of the bloody hell as soon as possible.

Suzuki Shigeyasu and Ryo Niqu Ukyo in Kanesaki Castle were still immersed in bloody and brutal combat for a while, and they didn't have time to believe that their superiors had abandoned them and left them, and they were about to become the enemy's men.

Asakura Jingjing, who climbed high and looked at the entire battlefield, couldn't suppress the ecstasy in his heart, and shouted loudly: "Victory, victory, the reinforcements of the Date family have arrived, the enemy has withdrawn, the enemy has withdrawn, and it has been victorious!" He screamed, howling loudly for the rest of his life.

The people of Kanesaki Castle woke up from the bloodshed, they finally looked forward to reinforcements, they were about to collapse in a moment, they were looking forward to reinforcements, they couldn't care about the aid of the Date family in Asakura Jingjing's mouth, as long as it was on their side.

The cheers resounded through Kanesaki Castle in an instant.

"Reinforcements have arrived!"

Suzuki's cry was full of surprise and incredulity, and he looked back and looked down from the castle tower, the entire battlefield was undoubted, the front line was collapsing, and the army fled in disarray, his heart was full of despair and resentment.

Erqu Youjing Liang thought of more, and said hatefully: "Qili Lai Zhou also ordered us to step up the siege of the city, this is to abandon us, he sold us." His face and heart were filled with anger, and Qili Lai Zhou sold them.

Shigeyasu Suzuki said a nonsense: "You have to get out of the city quickly!" ā€

Erqu Youjing made a bright face, gritted his teeth, and said: "It will take about three or four hours for all the people to withdraw, but how much time will the enemy give us, and how much time will Qili Lai Zhou give us?" They hated Qili Lai Zhou, and their words were full of resentment.

Suzuki Shigetai shook his head and said in a deep voice: "There is not so much time, most of them can be withdrawn, and the rest will be left to themselves." At this time, everything cannot be delayed, and we can't continue to follow Qili Lai Zhou. ā€

Erqu Youjingliang knew that if he withdrew the army without authorization, Qili Lai Zhou might not let them go, and he might be pushed out as a scapegoat to cut off his head when the time came, and even if he survived, he might lose his military power, which was the foundation for them to serve their lives.

Erqu Youjing Liang replied: "Or what?!" He didn't say any more, but Suzuki Shigeyasu understood what he meant, they were originally the wealthy people of Kaga Province, and there was no psychological pressure to serve the enemy and betray Honganji.

Suzuki Shigeyasu shook his head and said: "No, it's not a good idea to take refuge in front of the battle, Ono County doesn't still have an army that can fight habitually, I will go to him later, it should be feasible." ā€

The second song Youjing highlights the first name is.

However, it was a difficult thing to evacuate from Kanesaki Castle, especially after the Asakura side learned of the changes in the battlefield, they dared to go out to meet the battle, and entangled the siege soldiers who wanted to retreat, and the speed of retreat could not be improved.

The main front retreated, and the left flank, which was still desperately resisting, collapsed in an instant. The rout of the left flank turned the retreat into an escape, and the Qili Raizhou, who was shrouded in fear, could hardly suppress the overall collapse, and the Katayama army had no resistance, and they pursued and killed wantonly.

Katayama Moricho ordered the heralds to sound the horn of the march, and the loud and loud horn sounded through the sky, killing, the soldiers of the Katayama army did not feel tired, and they did their best to slash and kill any enemy who stood in their way.

One by one, they panicked and fled on the battlefield for several miles.

Qili Lai Zhou led an army of three or four thousand people to flee to the forefront, they no longer cared about the situation behind them, they wanted to flee to Suicheng as soon as possible, and then use it as a base to block the enemy's attack, he did not have much confidence to stop the footsteps of the Date family.

The Katayama Legion led by Katayama Moricho slaughtered all over the battlefield, and with bloody terror, they did not stop at all, and pursued in the direction of the enemy's escape. On the Tsuruga Plain outside Kanesaki Castle, the Katayama Legion, under the bear banner given to them by the political authorities, swept the mountains and the sea like stormy waves, overwhelmingly rolling towards the fleeing enemy.

At the entrance of Merrill Street, a short horn sounded. The sword in charge of the sharp sword Shunan Juro Saemon unwillingly stopped the pursuit, a series of fierce battles, the enemy who died in his hands was at least seventy or eighty people, if the pursuit continued, he believed that the number would increase.

Katayama Moricho looked up at the sky, and he knew that his soldiers were already exhausted, and if it weren't for the pressure of the air, they would have collapsed. Echizen Province was a strange place to them, and although the enemy had collapsed, it was better to be cautious, as they had already overfulfilled the task given to them by the political balance.

Zhengheng has not yet decided to enter the hinterland of Echizen Province. Because he knew that once he did this, the war in Hokuriku and even in the Kanto region would stop, and Echigo's Nagao Keitora would withdraw most of his military forces from Ueno and Musashi, which was inconsistent with his strategy of first Kyushu and then Kanto.

Although Tsuruga County belongs to Echizen Province, it is more like an enclave, separated by many mountain ranges, and Tsuruga County actually has a greater influence on Wakasa and Omi, and after beating a crowd, it stops in Tsuruga County, and the power of the people declines greatly, and secondly, it will not let Nagao Keitora withdraw most of his military strength from Kanto, and Nagao Keitora will continue to stay in Kanto, which is beneficial to contain Takeda Harunobu and Hojo Shiyasu, so that Imagawa Yoshimoto and Oda Nobunaga have a delicate balance locally.

This delicate balance was finally broken at the end of June. (To be continued.) )
