Near the wide Diaochuan River, the boundless rice fields, wild grasses, bushes, and forests form a beautiful picture.The afternoon sun directly shines on the surface of the Diaochuan River, reflecting bursts of phosphorescence.

At this time, half of the Zongxiang family's army had crossed the Diaochuan River and were sorting clothes on the south bank of the river, while the remaining half were still wading in the river.In the forests and bushes on both sides of the river, the soldiers of the Luo family stopped moving. They all held the spears, knives, bows and arrows firmly in their hands, for fear that they would accidentally fall to the ground and the other party would find them.

Asakura Sodi, who was hiding in a bush, was staring intently at the situation on the river beach. Even though sweat was dripping from his forehead due to the hot weather, he remained motionless.Since he was born in Yamabushi, he is most familiar with fighting in the mountains and forests, so this time the chief general Aguda entrusted him with the responsibility of launching the first attack.This duty is very important. Once he attacks here first, the people hiding in other places will also attack immediately, so he must choose a time to attack the enemy army that can cause the greatest damage.

"Get ready!" Seeing that the timing was almost up, Asakura Sodi immediately whispered to the standing preparations of the Luo family around him.The people around immediately picked up the weapons in their hands.Some bow and arrow ashigaru who were the first wave of attackers also pulled up their bows and arrows.The sharp arrows flashed bursts of light under the sunlight that came in through the gaps in the bushes.

"Archer! Shoot!" Soon after, Asakura Sodi shouted.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..." A rain of arrows shot out from the bushes, and directly shot into the army of the Zongxiang family on the river beach below.And as one of the main targets of the archers.Moreover, Takasaka Kurokawa, who happened to be not far from Asakura Sodi, was shot at the hedgehog in an instant.With a scream, he fell to the ground.Seeing is not alive.The poor horse under his crotch and the warriors of several relatives next to him were also unlucky, and were shot and injured to varying degrees.

"Enemy attack!" The Munakata army who was suddenly attacked shouted immediately.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..." As soon as the voice fell, a rain of arrows was shot from other places at the same time.Among the standing teams of the Luo family, there are 250 full-time bows and arrows.In this round of shooting, many soldiers of Munakata's family were shot immediately. Those who were almost unlucky died immediately, and those who were lucky.Also injured.

"This? What's going on here?" There was an attack in the hinterland of his own territory, and judging by the number of bows and arrows, it seemed that it was a large-scale attack.Where did these enemies come from?Munakata was immediately stunned.

Before Munakata could wake up, after shooting the first round of arrows, the standing members of the Luo family, led by their respective generals, came out of their hiding places one after another, and instantly formed a group on the south bank of the river. The big formation slowly advanced towards the army of the Zongxiang family.

And what about the Munakata family?Since some of the soldiers were still wading in the water at this time, even the other soldiers who had landed on the shore stood in a mess because they were arranging their clothes wet by the river.In the case of a sudden attack, there is still time to rearrange the formation.Immediately huffed and retreated.And when they saw such a large group of heavily armed enemy troops suddenly appearing, they panicked even more.Especially those peasants and soldiers who had been arrested and came here, they turned around and started to flee without waiting for the heads of their respective groups to shout.

At this time, the wooden bridge erected on both sides of the river suddenly became the target of everyone scrambling to climb. For a while, many soldiers who had just climbed onto the bridge were pushed into the river again.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Toshi Fukada, who was an important minister in the family, could no longer care about the safety of his lord Zong Xiangshi, so he turned his horse's head and rushed into the river, then slapped the horse under his crotch fiercely, and headed for the north bank of the river.

After some thumping, they were about to reach the river bank on the north bank. Suddenly, a group of people and horses came out from the bushes on the river bank.I saw that the leader was tall and burly, taking great strides, and arrived in front of Fukada Ushitoshi who was about to jump ashore in two or three steps.

Fukada Ushitoshi had no way to retreat at this time, he expected that as long as he drove the horse to jump hard, the opponent would avoid it no matter what, otherwise he would be hit by his horse.So he gritted his teeth, shouted loudly, clamped the horse's belly hard, closed his eyes, and jumped onto the bank with the horse and man.

And it was Akuta, the leader of the third standing Ashgaru team, who came to intercept Fukada Ujitoshi.Seeing that the other party jumped up desperately, he quickly dodged, but the mace in his hand followed the trend and savagely swung it, hitting Fukada Ushitoshi's right arm with a "touch".Fukada Ushitoshi, who was on the horse, felt a pain in his right arm, and then he lost his balance on the horse's back and began to fall to the left.

"Thief, escape there!" At this moment, Kawada Yoshiro on the other side also led another team of Luo's family to kill.Seeing that Fukada Ushitoshi was about to escape, and when Aguda seemed unable to stop him, he easily raised the spear in his hand and threw it forward fiercely.Originally, his idea was to shoot Fukada Shijun's horse under his crotch with a spear, and then delay Fukada Shijun's escape speed.Although ordinary horses or war horses are great wealth to the Luo family, but when it comes to war, where do they manage so much?Following Kawada Yoshiro's throw, the spear shot straight at the horse's abdomen with a gust of hot wind.

It also happened that Fukada Shijun was unlucky. At this time, he happened to be knocked off the horse by Agu. In the process of falling from the horse's back, he happened to be in front of the horse's belly. Kawada Yoshiro's spear shot directly from his neck. Rear insertion.Fukada Ushitoshi died before he could even utter a scream.

At this time, Munakata Shitsui, who was also desperately fleeing to the north bank under the desperate blocking of several relatives and samurai, happened to see this scene, and was immediately frightened out of his wits.The death of Ushitoshi Fukada was really tragic. Not only was a spear pierced through his neck from behind, but because his feet were entangled with the reins of the horse when he fell to the ground, his body was directly pulled by the horse. Going to the shore, leaving a long bloodstain on the fine sand of the snow-white river beach on the north bank.What made Munakata even more desperate was that there were surprise attackers on the north shore.Apparently they've been in ambush here for a long time.He immediately thought that someone in the family had lured the enemy into the hinterland of the family as a spy.And the objects of his doubts are naturally Xu Feishancheng, Shiwancheng and other retainers who asked Baishicheng for help before.

"what!"

But before he guessed which one was the secret work that betrayed his family, he felt a sharp pain in his back, which turned out to be an arrow in his back.Long before launching the attack, Asakura Sodi and others made him the main target of attack. Even though Munakata fled to the middle of the river on his horse, he was still constantly being shot by the Luo family's archers behind him.Now he was unlucky enough to get shot.And this time, not only was he shot, but even the horse under his crotch was shot in the ass of the territory.

So under the pain, the horse's buttocks slammed violently, and the Munakata family who was sitting on the horse suddenly lost his balance and fell into the river with a "plop".What was even more unlucky was that when his head entered the water first, it hit a stone at the bottom of the river, and he passed out immediately.Afterwards, when the members of Luo's family finally picked him up, he had already drowned and died.

And just as the main generals of the Munakata family's army died one after another, on the river beach on the south bank of the Diaochuan River, the soldiers of the Munakata family were completely defeated, and only a few diehard members of the Munakata family were still fighting.It's just that when these rout soldiers saw that the only way back, the north bank, was also blocked, they all felt that the end was coming.

"Surrender without killing!"

"Surrender without killing!"

……

Seeing this scene, the troops of the Luo family who gradually surrounded shouted loudly. (To be continued..)
