------------------------ －－－－－－－－

　　As the chief general of the Nagano army, Nagano Karma sat on the horse with a solemn expression.

　　 The last time Shiraneyama fought, he was almost killed by Li Xiao.

When the Takeda army broke through the Nagano army formation, he was in the formation. He didn't even see Li Xiao's shadow clearly. He saw that the opponent was covered in blood, riding a war horse like the wind to break through his army formation. He wanted to challenge him, but he was sacked one after another, and the others were scared to flee desperately by his terrifying presence.

And Nagano Yegu did not even fight with Li Xiao in one round, so he shot him on his right shoulder and killed him. Fortunately, several trusted samurai stepped forward and dragged him away, otherwise he would not be followed by him. The Takeda cavalry on the road hacked to death with a knife, but was trampled into mud by horseshoes.

In the end, the Nagano army’s army was torn apart by the Takeda’s cavalry, and Nagano Kazoku, who escaped his life, could only watch with many Uesugi family generals in fear, how Li Xiao and his Takeda’s cavalry were in Echigo. The army rushed from the left to the right, killing thousands of Etsuhou troops, discarding their helmets and abandoning their armor.

This is really a nightmare I don’t want to think of. Although he pretends to be brave, he is still much worse than Li Xiao at his own expense. It is said that after Uesugi Kenshin returned to Kasugayama Castle after the war, he praised Takeda’s Li Xiao as Sekihachi. There is no enemy in the state, and it is embarrassing to lose under such a brave general. Thinking of this, Nagano Yegu couldn't help but sighed.

　　 At this moment, someone said in his ear.

　　 "Master Yegu, why sigh?"

　　 Nagano Yegu turned his head, only to see an old man with beard, hair, and even gray eyebrows, walking beside him silently.

　　 The old man wears a large cyan pigment coat and long hakama, with a long and one short sword and ribs stuck in his waist. He has light steps between walking. Although he is wearing straw sandals and walking on the muddy dirt road, his feet are spotless.

　　 "Ise Mori-sama," Nagano Yakugo exclaimed, jumped off his horse, and said respectfully, "Are you back from Kyoto?"

　　 "Yes." The old man called Ise Mori-sama said calmly, his eyes drooping under his white eyebrows, his expression indifferent and easy-going, as if he was indifferent to all things in the world.

Nagano Kakugo said with joy on his face, and said: "It's good to be back, but at the request of General Ashikaga, didn’t you come to Kyoto to be his swordsmanship teacher? Did Ise-sama come back this time and rejected General Ashikaga? Request?"

　　 "Yes," this old man called Ise Mori-sama said, "However, Lord Yegu, I just felt that your heart was upset. This is a big taboo for warriors."

　　 Nagano Yegu looked a little embarrassed. He knew that top kendo masters like the other party could see through the keen intuition of others without looking at them.

　　 Nagano Kazuki didn't want to mention this topic that hurt his self-esteem, and turned to say: "Yes, Ise Mori, but becoming a swordsman of Ashikaga General is enough to become famous in the world, why did you refuse?"

"His Royal Highness's swordsmanship has reached the end, but the pursuit of swordsmanship is the integration of the'heart, skill, and body'. His kendo only cares about the'technique and body', but ignores the most important "heart". So I Say goodbye to him."

Kakuno Nagano was very sorry to hear, but he didn't know that before the old man left, Ashikaga Yoshiki, who was a shogun, worshipped the old man's swordsmanship. The most supreme name among Hao was given to the old man in front of him.

　　 "Then Ise Mori-sama, when you appear here this time, did you come to conquer the Takeda family by the lord's order?"

　　 Hearing these words, the old man suddenly raised his eyes, then he lowered his eyes again, and said in a low voice: "No, I came to see someone?"

　　 Nagano industry was surprised and said: "Who can work as Ise Shou-sama?"

　　 "Li Xiao from the Takeda family!"

　　 "What?" Hearing the words, Nagano Kakugu shook his body.

　　 Just as Nagano Kegou was surprised, the old man suddenly stopped and looked at the dim woods beside him, and suddenly said, "Not good."

　　 The roar of the iron cannon broke the calm under the sun. Just in the dim woods, the muzzle of the iron cannon protruded from fiery snakes.

Snapped! Snapped!

　　 Suddenly, the Nagano army's horses neighed everywhere, and the Nagano army's army suddenly fell into chaos. Many warriors on horseback fell off their horses because of the frightened horses.

　　 "No, I was ambushed by the Takeda family."

　　 When Nagano Karma waited to react, he was led by the old man beside him, and hurried down to the side of the road. In this moment, his mount whined and was hit by dozens of iron cannon bullets, knocking to the ground.

　　 He picked up a life-saving Nagano Kegou, and saw his horse lying weakly on the ground wagging its hooves, and a dozen gun holes in his body were bleeding.

　　 "Thank you, Ise Mori-sama." Nagano Yakugo said this, and at this moment, he heard the sound of screaming from the woods on the side of the mountain.

　　 Under the setting sun, the Takeda family was so light as if they had fallen from the sky, without armor, armed with spears, and Tai swords burst out of the jungle one after another. Obviously, these Takeda soldiers had been in ambush in the woods for a long time, waiting for work, and even rushed the Nagano army marching on the side of the road into several sections.

　　 The Nagano army made a little resistance, and it was already lost.

　　 "What's the matter? Where did these Takeda troops come from? Where are the Murakami-sama?" Nagano Kazuki thought this way, but knew that this was not the time to pursue this matter, so he started shouting commands.

　　 Soldiers resist ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Nagano Yegu took the samurai and the general's flag to withdraw to a dry land beside the paddy field.

　　 Right now, the Takeda Army kept entering from the forest, and the Nagano Army was unable to concentrate its forces and set up a formation to counterattack due to the long marching line. Nagano Kazuki raised his sword in his hand, shouted anxiously, and kept ordering the retreating Zuchis to come back and fight back.

　　 Suddenly, the Takeda Army and the Nagano Army had their feet in the paddy field, running and jumping with each other, each with muddy legs holding their long spears and stabbing each other. Many of the retreating Nagano were light footed, slipped on their feet and fell into the mud, and then were lightly footed by a few Takeda soldiers who had caught up with them, and together they pierced them to death in the paddy field with their spears.

There is a lot of hope for the resistance of the foot soldiers. The samurai of the Nagano army gambled on their lives and fought back. After killing a few people, dozens of guns from the Takeda army swarmed. With a burst of rush, his life was instantly lost.

　　 The killing continued, and the sharp screams continued to be heard from a distance, obviously not only here, the other two Nagano forces were at a disadvantage.

　　 Under the courageous offensive of the Takeda Army, many Nagano Army soldiers lost their courage and began to retreat slowly. In the paddy field, the Nagano Army kept dropping their bodies.

　　 Nagano Yegu was anxious and angry, his eyes were red, and he watched his Nagano army escape and were killed, but he still took his men and horses firmly on the dry land, and he refused to retreat.

Under Nagano’s insistence, he even personally swung a knife to kill several deserters. The Nagano Army made a resolute resistance around the dry land. The corpses of the Takeda Army and the Nagano Army were piled around here and nearby. Together.

　　 And at this time, the Takeda Army also began to adjust its strength, placing the main offensive on this dry land where Nagano Kazuki was firmly established.
