Remnant snow accumulates when crossing the mound, and when you enter Numata Village from Mt. Kokoji, the land is full of hardship. Ankokuji Huiqiong, who had sneaked all the way from Kagamiyama, and his retainers Shinagawa Sakyoryo and Takeda Sokei relaxed slightly, and the eaves that loomed in the distance made them understand that they had finally arrived at the border of Date Ryō. As soon as you enter Numata Village, the Numata River widens, and there are a few villages on both sides of the river.

As soon as I entered the Eongfukuji area, I immediately saw several monks and soldiers running from the mountain to Eongfukuji Temple, and when they got closer, the leader of the monks came down and said, "We are from Eongfukuji Temple, and we have come to lead the way for you on the orders of the lord Miyazawa Heihachitoku." ”

They spoke and gave each of them their names. Eifukuji Temple was originally a small temple in the mountains, but since Miyazawa Heihachi became the lord of the castle, due to his background as a monk and soldier of Enryakuji Temple on Mt. Hiei, he protected the temples in his domain and reciprocated him, and the temples in turn took the lead in supporting him, so that his decree was soon implemented in Numata Township.

After Kobayakawa Takakei returned from the Yamaguchikan, the Mori family's usual policy of shrinking to Yamashiro in Yoshida-gun had become aggressive again, and the monastery where Ankokuji Keikun lived was repeatedly threatened, and when he felt that he was in danger, he agreed with Shinagawa Sakyyoryo and Takeda Sokei, asked for help from the Date family, and at the same time led hundreds of relatives to Numata Township to get safe.

When Heihachi Miyazawa learned of the letter asking for help from Ankokuji Keikun, he knew that this was an opportunity to enter Yasuikoku, and he reported back to Date Masaki while stepping up surveillance of Yoshida-gun's movements. The procession of hundreds of people walked together, as dazzling as a light shining in the dark, and it was difficult to keep Yoshida-gun's mountain castle from knowing.

People live on the banks of the Numata River. Numata Sou was formed. The Kobayakawa clan became the head of Numata after the defeat of the Numata clan, a family member of the Taira clan. In the Chengjiu Rebellion, he won the position of the head of the capital Yuzhuang and Hezhuyuanzhuang. The Numata River runs from east to northwest, and the further north it goes, the wider the river becomes, and the number of fields in the basin of the river gradually increases, but it is not very wide.

There is still a lot of residual snow in the fields, and spring plowing has not yet begun. The people in the villages were nervous when they saw hundreds of heavily armed people passing near their villages, most of them closed their doors and windows, and some of them even gathered around the fence with rudimentary weapons. This is the survival wisdom of ordinary villages in the Warring States period.

On the other side of the river, a small forest looked peaceful, but if you look at the scene in the woods, you will be immediately surprised, the woods are densely packed with heavily armed people, and there are even hundreds of war horses in the small col behind the forest.

On the top of a hill at the back of the grove, Kobayakawa Takakeiyasu sat on a large rock and watched the procession on the other side of the bank that had slowed down significantly, the corners of his mouth twitched, as if he was not worried about being seen by the other party. Beside him were his three old families, Nomi Sokatsu, Uramoto Nobu, and Inoue Harutada, as well as his subordinate eight hundred Kobayakawa Ayuki.

Nami Munekatsu, Uramoto Nobu, and Inoue Harutada were all godretainers when Kobayakawa Takakei entered the Takehara and Numata Kobayakawa families. Among them, Naomi Sokatsu and Uramoto Nobu came after Miyazawa Heihachi came, because the latter's first thing was to exterminate the Nomi family, Nomi Sokatsu and Uramoto Nobu obviously put all their lives on Kobayakawa Takakei, Inoue Harutada followed Kobayakawa Takakei from Yoshida-gun Yamashiro to Takehara since he was a child. He is the leader of Kobayakawa Takakei's personal soldiers, and all three of them are Kobayakawa Takakei's closest retainers.

Takashi Kobayakawa looked at the marching procession. The corners of his mouth twitched, and he said coldly: "Nami Zongsheng, the first battle depends on you, you must leave the remnants of Takeda, I want to see how Takayama City copes, if you fight in the field, you can count with your heart or not, Takayama City is at your fingertips, if you shrink in the city, you will make an example of the chickens and monkeys, and let the people in the country take a good look at the fate of the thieves who threw themselves at Date." ”

Naomi Zongsheng glanced coldly at the marching team, and then at the high mountain castle that exposed the eaves in the distance, and roared in a low voice: "Yes, I also ask the young master to hand over Miyazawa Heiba to the minister, and the minister will make a blood sacrifice in front of the graves of hundreds of clansmen who died tragically." Saying that, Ken, who saw Kobayakawa Takakei, hurried away.

Soon, when the Numata River was bypassing an unnamed hill, two hundred infantry led by Nomi Munekatsu appeared around its corner, looked at the target that was getting closer and closer, gritted his teeth and shouted, "Attack!" ”

Shinagawa Sakyo Ryoliang, who was riding on a horse, just wanted to ask the monks of Eifukuji Temple about the news of Miyazawa Heipatoku, when he heard noisy footsteps in the distance, and several other people had not yet understood, he had long been very sensitive to this, and saw the monks and soldiers around him with a blank face, and immediately shouted: "Enemy attack!" ”

As soon as Shinagawa Sakyoliang's words fell, a large number of bows and arrows were shot at Ankokuji Temple. For a time, more than a dozen people fell in the Anguo Temple, and the shouts continued.

"Enemy attack!" "Enemy attack!" "The enemy is coming!" "Protect Your Highness!" All kinds of shouts shouted around the team, sneaking all the way, always ready when they were in the sphere of influence of Yoshida County's mountain castle, and when they saw Takayama Castle, not only Ankokuji Huiqiong relaxed his feelings, but even his subordinates relaxed, and for a time they were subjected to unattainable chaos, and the purpose of the surprise attack of Nami Sokatsu and others was initially achieved.

Takeda Zongqing obviously came to his senses earlier than the others, and shouted loudly: "Bastard, shrink your forces, protect the safety of Your Highness, and ask for help from Takayama Castle!" Ladies and gentlemen, Alpine City is on the side, as long as we stand up for a while, the final victory will definitely belong to us! ”

After whipping the two soldiers who ran around, under the encouragement and reprimand of Takeda Sokei, the team finally arranged in an orderly manner on both sides of Ankokuji Huiqiong, with the spear team outside and the Taidao team behind, divided into two columns on the left and right.

Nami Zongsheng's body was in shape, and he shouted loudly: "This team is in formation, and the others are monitoring the roads on both sides, and they can't give them an opportunity to escape, kill me!" Fifty people suddenly rushed out of the two hundred infantry, they were all the cronies and guards that Nami Zongsheng had trained with great difficulty, and as soon as his words fell, fifty people leaned towards him and formed a sharp attack formation.

His lieutenant general was not idle, he also shouted, and led the remaining one hundred and fifty people to shoot another burst of bows and arrows, seeing that they had lost their suddenness and had no great effect. I had to throw away the longbow. Picking up all kinds of weapons, protecting the flanks, they rushed down together.

These longbows are different from maruki bows. Kobayakawa Takakei took great pains to take great pains for this Liwei operation, and wiped out all the longbows that he had collected with great difficulty in the mountain castle of Yoshida County, which was a real powerful weapon, otherwise it would not have caused heavy casualties in an instant. If it weren't for the fact that the sound of the iron cannon was too loud, and he was afraid that Takayama Castle Miyazawa Heihachi would be too frightened to go out of the city to fight, Kobayakawa Takakei did not let Naomi Sokatsu take it with him and stayed in the main camp.

Naomi Sokatsu was at the front of the formation, and he constantly brandished his spear to fight anyone who dared to stand in his way. The others danced their spears to resist the surrounding spear formations and stabbed their formation, the formation was quite simple, but it was very practical, and it tore apart the first formation of spears that had been arranged with great difficulty.

The Huiqiong Department of Anguo Temple was also fearless of death, and there were more and more corpses lying around them.

The team had already begun to turn around, and began to retreat under the protection of Shinagawa Sakyo Ryo, retreating in the direction of Eifukuji Temple, trying to use Eifukuji Temple as a barrier to wait for reinforcements to arrive.

Truly. They did it, and Naomi did not expect such strong resistance. Kobayakawa Takakei, who was sitting in the back, didn't expect that in their expectations, the team led by Ankokuji Huiqiong and others was all a rabble.

After the demise of each family, there will be a remnant of courage, and most of the soldiers who followed Ankokuji Huiqiong were the children and grandchildren who followed his father and ancestor who died under the sword of Maori Yuan, they were originally supposed to be samurai of the Takeda family, but they became rebellious because of Maori Yuan, and after the subtle brainwashing of Shinagawa Sakyo Ryo and others, they regarded Maori Yuan as an enemy.

With the promise of Ankokuji Huiqiong, once he rises again, they will regain the glory of their father and ancestor and become samurai again. "In order to become a samurai, kill!" Seeing that the troops of the Ankokuji Department were delaying Naomi Sokatsu's team, they rushed over with a loud shout, killing Nomi and making it difficult for the Nomi Department to advance.

The shape shì is getting more and more dangerous, the temple army that is blocking the advance of Naomi is getting more and more casualties, and it is no longer possible to stop their advance, Naomi Sokatsu watched Ankokuji Huiqiong and the others get farther and farther away, he understood that once they were allowed to escape into Eifukuji, it would be difficult to attack again. What's more, the longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for them, so that Miyazawa Heihachi will have more soldiers and horses, and he can deal with the war more calmly.

Nami Sokatsu grabbed the spear to block an enemy soldier who wanted to stop him, and stabbed the enemy soldier through the body, and his spear broke as a result, so he had to take the spear in the opponent's hand and continue to move forward, just picking up the spear, another enemy soldier behind him swung a sword and slashed at him.

His lieutenant also appeared at his side, and seeing that Nami Zongsheng's old strength had not gone, the new strength was too weak to resist, and he stabbed the enemy soldier directly through the back of the neck with a single blow. The shape shì became more and more dangerous, and Shinagawa Sakyo Ryo rode a war horse and suddenly rushed back and shouted: "Shinagawa Sakyo Ryo is here, Hugh is rampant!" ”

With the shout, Shinagawa Sakyo Ryo rode his horse and rushed directly towards Naomi Sokatsu, but the soldiers who stood in front of him had no ability to resist at all, and they were all stabbed to death by him.

Dianjun was very excited in his heart, he originally thought that he would definitely die, but he didn't expect Shinagawa Zuo Jingliang to kill back, and heard a roar: "Takeda Criminal Department Shaofu Zongqing is here, who dares to fight with me!" "Takeda Sokei rode a horse and led more than 30 people to go straight from the side, and the target was also Naomi Sokatsu.

At this moment, it is no longer the Anguo Temple Department that is facing collapse, but the victory of the United States is retreating.

Kobayakawa Takakei looked at the changes in the battlefield and muttered in a low voice: "I didn't expect that there would be such a warrior in the remnants of Takeda, if they were allowed to continue to survive, they would definitely be the mortal enemies of the Maori family." He had the idea of killing it.

Pu Yuanxin looked at the tragic battlefield and said with a solemn expression: "Lord, a battle decision is the best policy, if hundreds of enemies are bent on escaping, my brother's two hundred soldiers and horses are difficult to stop, and if Gaoshan City sends troops at this moment, I am afraid that I will suffer from being attacked from both sides." "Uramoto Shin is the half-brother of Naomi Sokatsu.

Kobayakawa Takakei nodded solemnly, and instructed: "Great, all the cavalry is dispatched, and we must kill Ankokuji Huiqiong, and the rest of the people will block Miyazawa Heihachi's reinforcements with me, fight a battle, and then wait for the opportunity to move." (To be continued......)
