Chapter 122 Detour

After Lijiao's foot was gently pushed up, the archers of the Hejiao family retreated to the high ground and began to cover and shoot from a high place. The archers of the Asai Army had to step into the river and struggled to pull the bow and shoot archery in order to cover the friendly forces on the front line.

At the second moment of Tatsuki, the Asai Army advance team, who had just landed, braved the other party's arrow rain, held rattan cards and wooden boards, and worked together to remove the obstacles left by the Hexao family on the mudflats so that the army behind them could land. The advance team had just crossed the river with arrow rain. Each person had several feather arrows inserted on the wooden rattan signs, and they had to struggle on the river and mudflats to remove obstacles, and they were struggling to remove obstacles, and they were struggling to carry obstacles quickly. Many feet were so tired that they could not lift their shields, and they leaned their shields against obstacles, hiding behind them, gasping for breath, and moving their numb arms. Every time they moved an obstacle, it meant that they had to lose the cover of the rattan sign, and many people were shot and fell down, becoming part of the obstacles.

Under the battle of the advance team, the obstacles on the tidal flats were finally removed. The follow-up foot without the pressure of the feather arrow also quickly landed under the leadership of Kiyosaki Yumori. At this time, the exhausted advance team retreated. Only Endo pulled out the samurai sword from his waist, held a rattan card in his left hand and a knife in his right hand, and eagerly attacked with the team.

The Asai army's footmen rushed to the first trench, immediately picked up their spears, jumped down, and stabbed the people behind the fence. Some of the footmen tried to overturn and demolish the fence. The footmen of the Hexao family attacked the footmen in the trench from a high point, and their physical strength began to gradually become obvious as time went by. They ran for a few miles and passed a small river. The soaked shoes and pants were as difficult to move as if they were filled with lead. The physically exhausted Asai family's footmen could not break through the Hexao family's defense line.

Seeing that there was no team that could not make progress, Kiyosaki Yumori asked the advance team that had been resting for a while to move forward with a shield, and under the shooting of the archers, the troops retreated, and the next row of troops were rotated to continue attacking the fence.

This time, Yu Sen Qingzhen, despite her age, drew a knife in her hand and went into battle in person. The two guards kept holding shields to cover their heads. The head led the way, greatly encouraging the fighting spirit of the Foots. Four or five Foots jumped into the trench together with the enemy's thrust, and put the spear under the fence. With the sound of the "Three Two One", they tried hard, and the four or five spears were like levers, and they picked up the wooden fence.

When the Hexao Army behind him reacted, Endo Naoji assisted several times in a row, jumped hard, crossed the trench and jumped to the Hexao Family's position, threw the rattan card at the Hexao Family's foot, then picked up the samurai sword and waved it in a big way. The Hexao Army's foot lights' spears were naturally no match for the Samurai sword in close combat. Endo Naoji cut and killed several times in succession, opening a gap, and Asai Family's foot lights immediately rushed into the defense line along the gap.

The Hexake family samurai on both sides hurriedly led the troops to force Endo to advance directly, and block the Asai family's feet here. Yumori Kiyosaki immediately directed the foot that jumped through the trench to move horizontally, attacked the other Hexake army on the defense line, and cooperated with the Asai army on the front attack to remove the fence, and the entire defense line was in a mess.

At 4 o'clock in the 19th, the Rangers also crossed the Yakura River and arrived at Torimoto, which was three miles south of the river. One or two miles west, across Ono River, is Sawa Mountain. Crossing the top of the mountain, on the west side of the foothills is Sawa Mountain Castle. However, due to the barrier of the mountain, it is impossible to see it.

Since the troops crossed Yakurakawa, the Hexao family's ninjas continued to harass the people. Every time the Asai family's team stopped to adjust their formation and prepared to fight, the people would retreat immediately. But if they were not concerned, the Ninjas and the people would attack, and the Akao family's baggage team was attacked once, killing and injured more than a dozen people. This severely slowed down the Asai army's duration, and in one hour, it actually walked three or four miles away.

Yu Qiuhei was at this time, just like Asai Nagamasaki, who was in the middle of the team.

"It's coming again!" Yu Qiuhei glanced at the Hexao Army Ninjas and Chinese people who were rushing out of the hills on the west side. The banner this time seemed to be the Yamaoka family. When the main Yamaoka Keitaka is the acting official of the Hexaoka family in Shiga County, and the flag head of the southern part of Ori.

However, just as the Asai family adjusted their queues again to prepare for field battle, the Yamaoka family's troops also retreated to the southwest for a while and stopped. Instead, the Nagahara family and Nagata family's troops launched another harassment on the southeast side.

"I'm really annoying!" Asai Nagamasa shook his head, "Can you fight a war like a samurai in an endless way?"

"Sir Asai, why not try to bite the troops attacking the Yamaoka family." Matsushita suggested suddenly, "The troops of the Yamaoka family retreated to the edge of Onogawa at this moment, and the backwater formation is not easy to mobilize."

"Yes, by biting this important tyrant, you can force the Hexago family to stop the endless harassment and let them come out to fight a war!" Akao Kiyoto agreed, "Please let them go down to stop the harassment on the flanks, your highness will attack!"

Matsushita's chaotic proposal was unanimously recognized by everyone. The Asai family's team moved slowly, and the 15oo people from the Akao family left the team and set up defenses to the southeast side. Asai Nagamasa, with the remaining 45oo people, suddenly rushed towards the Yamao family's troops. The 25oo people from the Yamao family immediately became confused and hurriedly sent a messenger to ask for help from the main formation between Sai Yamao and Onogawa. Yamao Keitaka directed the troops to retreat south along Onogawa, and did not dare to cross the river rashly, giving the Asai army a chance to attack halfway.

However, because Yamaoka's troops were close to the river, the formation was very difficult to change, and the tidal flats by the river seriously hindered the march. The Asai army, who was walking on the grass, was constantly shortening the distance between the two. Finally, Yamaoka Keito had no choice but to retreat, and was forced to line up with the water, intending to make the final persistence.

"This camp is five miles away! We are here to stand firm and wait for help!" Yamaoka Jinglong shouted, "Don't worry, Your Highness will come to reinforce soon!"

"The Asai family's flag and team, the Akao family, the Anyangji family, the Asai family, the Imamura family, the Santa village family, the Hundred Family..." On a branch of a big tree on the southern foot of the Sai Mountain, a ninja dressed in an exaggerated manner was squinting his eyes, looking at the flag of the Asai army not far away, and chanting the names of the family.

"Okay! I'll see it all!" He slapped his head, stood on the trunk of the tree, fell back casually, moved a few times in the air, and fell to the ground with the help of other branches. His figure flashed and he ran towards the formation of the Hexao family in Hikone. Soon, he appeared in front of Hexao Yoshi-hyun.

The Hexaki family is in Hikone's original formation.

"Including the Akao family, Endo family, Asun family and Onoki family in front..." After listening to the ninja's report, Hexaki Yoshien rubbed the mustache on his chin and thought. After a moment, he asked, "Goeimon, are you sure you see clearly?"

"Don't worry, the villain's eyes have never missed it." Ishikawa Goemon said with a smile.

"That's great, the reserve team of the Asai family, except for the Haibei family, all appeared. Haibei Tsuna is probably staying behind the team." Yoshiken Riko chuckled, "Leave 4ooo people to surround Sawa Yama Castle. The rest of the troops attack and attack Asai Nagamasa's team on the east side!"

"Sir, don't you leave more people to defend the team? Your safety is the top priority." Pu Sheng Dingxiu suggested uneasyly.

"No need, the Asai family has no spare energy anymore. Our ninja information has never made any mistakes! Even if there are people, I am enough to deal with it." Hexao Yoshi-hyun raised his arm and pointed to the east, "Dingxiu, you serve as the army and assist the governor to attack the Asai army with 1oooo people!"

Hexaku Yoshi-hyun had already given up his throne to his son, Hexaku Yoshihisa, but in fact he still had the power in the family. In this battle, he planned to let Hexaku Yoshihisa personally fight and establish his prestige.

"Abide by the order!" The many wealthy families and important officials under their command all saluted to Heikao Yoshihiko, Yoshiji and his son, and then left the tent and assembled the troops.

"You need to be careful of the reinforcements from the Hexao family's main lineup, and Lord Asai should not fight." Matsushita Qingran saw that Asai Nagamasa seemed extremely excited, so he spoke out and advised him.

"It's okay! Yoshiken Heikaku didn't dare to come to the rescue. He didn't know if we had other ambush troops! If there were not many support troops, we would kill as much as we came!" Asai Nagamasa looked at the two armies close at hand and shouted excitedly: "Imamura Preparatory Team, Hundred-Hundred Preparatory Team, launch an attack on the Heikaku!"

Panasonic frowned with some concern and asked Masayuki Sanada in a low voice: "Didn't Lord Sanada say that the Hexaki family know the banner of all our reserve teams? If all the Asai family's reserve teams have appeared, why wouldn't Hexaki Yoshi-chen dare to come all over the army?"

"Don't interfere more. After all, this is Lord Asai's own decision. We are just outsiders." Masayuki Sanada shook his head, "Besides, Lord Yuqiu has no objection."

With the horse seal of Asai Nagamasa and the waving of Mimori Tuskkori, the reserves of the Hokuha and Imamura family immediately began to join in and rushed towards the reserves of the Yamaoka family. After the two armies began to fight, they were equally matched for a while, and the shouts of killing sounds were heard one after another on the entire front. The samurai stabbed with long spears, dodged, slapped the opponent's gun bars, and chose the right time to stab them. The samurai of the two armies would choose the opportunity to rush into the opponent's sammedal formation, slashed and killed, leading the samurai to break through. Until another enemy samurai arrived and used the advantage of the number of people to fill the gap.

Seeing that the battle situation was in a state of anxiety, Asai Nagamasa put more reserves on the battlefield.

"Anyangji Preparatory Team, join the front battlefield!" After Asai Nagamasa issued another order, the Anyangji clan also joined the battle group with 5Os of the troops under his command. The number of Asai soldiers on the front line reached 15Os, overwhelming the Hexao family's reserve team. Yamaoka Keitaka was forced to send the troops from the formation to support. Asai Nagamasaki seized the opportunity and asked the Santa Village Reserve Team to stay, while he led the direct troops of the Asai family's family to launch a strong attack on the left wing of the Hexao family. Yamaoka Keitaka hurriedly wanted to mobilize troops from the right wing with lighter pressure to support, but because the troops were arranged in a backwater and the space was small, the reinforcements on the right wing were blocked between the central troops and the river bank, and they could not advance or retreat, but the formation did not have much force to send out.

The Yamaoka family's left wing was far inferior to the directly-level troops of the Asai family, and they were defeated and retreated step by step, and the flanks of the central troops were gradually exposed to the Asai family's directly-level troops. The Yamaoka family generals who commanded the central government tried to make their subordinates turn to fight, but because of the chaos of orders and insufficient training for the young people, they caused chaos. Before the Asai family could hit the side, their troops were about to lose their establishment.
