Everything was just as Zhengliang expected, less than an hour after the two sides fought, the Juchi family's side showed signs of decline.

At noon on the 21st, Kikuchi Yoshitake had already withdrawn his troops after successively receiving reports from Mifune, Kosa, Yabe, Toyong, Minamigoya, Sugao, Oguni, and other powerful clans who had been taken away or disappeared. The idea of ​​escaping to the south bank of Green River.

Then, after receiving the news that Honganji Shangyi was also killed and the Koshi family turned against each other, Kikuchi Yoshitake issued an order to withdraw the troops.

The death of Honganji Shangyi was partly caused by the instigation of Ryuzoji Takanobu who was in the same camp as him.Ryuzoji Takanobu seems to be planning to repeat the trick he did at Popojin Pass last time, and asked Honganji Shangyi to go to the front of the battle to encourage the soldiers. As a result, Honganji Shangyi was attacked by the enemy with arrows before he could say a few words. In the end, he died tragically in front of the battle.

And the Hoshi family turned against each other before the battle, which was the last straw that crushed the elephant.

As Kikuchi Yoshitake fled first, the Nawa family and the Kakoki family followed closely behind, and the Otomo family coalition forces followed closely behind.A big battle turned into a chase in an instant.

The two sides crossed Green River one after another, and then came to Jianzhitian City.Along the way, the allied forces of the Kikuchi family kept deserting. When they arrived outside Kenshida City, there were less than 300 soldiers who were still with Kikuchi Yoshitake.As for the Dayou family who were chasing after them, due to different physical fitness, although they still maintained a number of more than [-] people, they had already formed a serpentine formation along the road, which seemed sparse.

Originally, Kikuchi Yoshitake planned to enter Kenshida Castle and defend the city to the death, but Toji Kanren was chasing after him.So Kikuchi Yoshitake had to temporarily set up a large formation in front of Kenshida Castle.Fight again with Huci Jianlian's army.

At this time, although Kikuchi Yoshitake had less than 300 people under his command.But most of them are brave men and monks and soldiers of the Yiji sect who are determined to avenge the first Honganji Temple. The morale of the coalition forces on one side was greatly boosted.

Seeing the enemies coming in like a tide, and seeing the continuous death of samurai and ashigaru under his command, Huci Jianlian felt a little anxious.He really didn't expect that these guys who were about to be defeated suddenly burst out with such a powerful fighting power.

In the main formation of the Great Friends Army.Huci Jianlian saw that the battlefield was about to fall into a state of confrontation again, and he couldn't sit still. He just heard Huci Jianlian say: "When will the lagging soldiers behind catch up."

"My lord, I'm afraid it will take some time." The subordinate reported.

"No, we must make a quick decision. Since the laggard soldiers still haven't arrived, then I decide to lead the banner of the formation to fight against them." After finishing speaking, he stood up.

"It must not be done. My lord is a man of gold. Now the battlefield is in a state of conflict, but my family will definitely win. Please take your own safety as the most important thing." The subordinate immediately advised.

Huci Jianlian stopped, and said: "There is no need to say more. In this battle, all these treacherous plots of Higo must be completely cut off." After speaking, he opened his mouth and said, "Shiga Jianlong will continue to stay in the formation, and the rest will obey orders. Follow me to kill the enemy." After finishing speaking, he firmly stepped out of the formation, followed closely by a hundred bannermen, and they knew in their hearts that their task in this battle was not to cut off how many heads of the enemy , but in any case to ensure the safety of the account Jianlian.

When Huci Jianren led [-] Banners into the battle, all the retainers including Kishimi Tenmanda who was at Otomo's house, and Lord Ashigarumi went into battle in person, and their morale was greatly boosted.The situation on the battlefield suddenly gradually leaned towards the side of Otomo's family.

"This battle will determine whether our family can take down Feihou in one fell swoop. Everyone, show your bravery to the enemy and blow the conch horn. It's time for us to attack!" At this time, Zheng Liang was standing on a hilltop near the battlefield, with his back on his back. To the sun, keep an eye on the battlefield.When he had a premonition that it was time to attack, he immediately ordered.

"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..." Suddenly, a distant sound of the conch horn sounded above the battlefield.

"Kill! Kill! Explode their chrysanthemums!" Led by the generals of the Luo family, more than 600 soldiers of the Luo family rushed towards the Otomo family and the Juchi family who were fighting fiercely under Jianzhitian City like beasts.

"This? What's going on here?" Both sides in the fierce battle couldn't help being stunned by the scene in front of them.

"Ah? Look, that's the flag of the Luo family!" The sharp-eyed person immediately shouted.

"What? How is this possible? How did the Luo family's army appear here?" Huci Jianlian, who was directing his men to attack the Juchi family's main formation, exclaimed in surprise.For a moment, he thought of the possibility of the Kikuchi family joining hands with the Luo family again to deal with the Otomo family.

"My lord, it's the Luo family's army." Just like Huci Jianlian, the Kikuchi family was also surprised by the sudden appearance of the Luo family's army.As a general, Ryuzoji Takanobu also wondered in his heart whether Kikuchi Yoshitake had joined forces secretly with the Luo family.

Who knew that after Kikuchi Yoshitake saw clearly that the old man was the strength of the Luo family's army, he didn't show any joy on his face, instead he looked dignified, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly said: "Give up Kenshida Castle, quickly withdraw battlefield."

"Huh? My lord?" Almost everyone was surprised this time.

"Hurry up, don't delay, or I will die here today." Kikuchi Yoshitake said seriously.Only he knew that he was not united with the Luo family, and that the Luo family's army appeared in this place far away from the Luo family's territory. It was obvious that something major happened to Feihou during the battle between him and Dayou's family.And Kikuchi Yoshitake, who had seen the fierceness of the Luo family's siege battle and knew that Luo Shizhengliang was definitely not a good person, immediately gave the order to retreat, and even Kenshida Castle behind him gave up.

But when everyone in Dayou's family and Juchi's family were still in a daze, the army of Luo's family had already arrived.

"Come on!" Kosaka Masanobu, who was riding in the front, shouted.

The flag is flying in the morning sun, and the veritable decisive battle has finally come.After firing a shower of arrows at the enemy, Kosaka Masanobu rushed like lightning, and rushed to the battlefield where the two armies of the Otomo family and the Kikuchi family were fighting.

"Ah?" Takanobu Ryuzoji, who happened to be not far from Kosaka Masanobu, straightened up after hearing the words.In his eyes, an enemy cavalry entered his sight.The man broke through the two armies ferociously, and came straight to them.He is tall and big, with a dark body.Seeing the huge knife ring that the man was waving, Ryuzoji Takanobu couldn't help but sweat.

"I am Kosaka Taro Masanobu, known to everyone in the Luo family. Who would dare to fight against me next, a warrior of the Luo family?" The man charged forward, brandishing a broadsword.

Longxin of Longzhuo Temple suddenly felt his blood surge.

"Let's fight with you at Shimohiqian Ryuzo Temple Head Master Maru Takanobu!"
