When Yoshicho saw that Matsunaga Xiuzhi didn't speak, he asked, "Are you here to negotiate, or are you here to entertain Your Highness?" ”

Matsunaga Xiu has been weathered for a long time, and he panicked at first, but he was frightened by Yoshichoichi, but he calmed down.

He hurriedly said, "Then it is natural to negotiate with His Highness and Shinano Mori in good faith." However, I think it is difficult for Shinano to keep the strongman.

There are shogunate palaces and capitals in the mountain castle, and their importance is self-evident.

In fact, the family is willing to give up the Settsu Mamoru to the shogunate, and the status of the Settsu family is like that of the Yamashiro country, and the Shinano Mamoru can also know the sincerity of the family? ”

Yichang stroked his beard and smiled, and said: "I also know that you and I are negotiating, and it is difficult to make it in a short time, so let's fight first, so that we know how to talk." ”

Matsunaga twitched his face and paused: "Shinano Shouji, if you and I go to war, it will only cause the lives around Kyoto to be miserable, so why bother?" ”

Yichang snorted coldly: "Your heart can be punished!" It's the Miyoshi Governor who doesn't obey the shogunate's management, and you're arrogant! We are waiting for the army to raise troops today to clear the king's side and drive out you rebels who oppress His Highness!

Lord Matsunaga Castle, don't say anything more, you immediately go back and tell the Miyoshi Commander, don't make mistakes, if you don't come to the shogunate tomorrow to admit your mistakes, you will definitely raise troops in the next place, don't say anything unexpected! ”

Matsunaga Shu panicked and hurriedly said, "Shinano Shoushu!" How can it be so arbitrary! ”

Yoshicho frowned and said, "How can you let this kind of subordinate be so rude in the main hall?" It's unsightly! ”

Mibuchi Fujiei hurriedly said, "Don't pull it out quickly!" ”

Matsunaga Shu was furious and was about to say something cruel, but two samurai on the left and right stepped forward and pulled Matsunaga Shu out.

Matsunaga Hide, who was driven out of the city, was very ashamed, he gritted his teeth and said: "What a good Ogasawara Yoshicho, if you dare to insult me like this today, I will take revenge!" After saying that, he left indignantly.

When Matsunaga Shu went back, he added fuel to the fire and told Miyoshi Changqing.

Miyoshi Changqing's eyes narrowed, and he said in a solemn tone: "Heh, he thinks he is something, young and vigorous, and needs someone to teach him a lesson." Point soldiers! Point soldiers! ”

Matsunaga was overjoyed, and it was not in vain that he wasted so many tongues.

The next day, Yoshicho had already reorganized his troops, and he was going to take the lead and attack Katryuji Castle first. Yichang didn't think that Sanhao Changqing would admit his mistake if he didn't fight.

The location of Katryuji Castle is at the junction of Yamashiro Province and Settsu Province, more than ten miles southwest of Nijo Castle.

Sure enough, when Yoshinaga led his army and the people of Mino-kuni to arrive outside the castle of Katyuji, the castle was full of the banner of the Miyoshi family and the banner of the Ten Rivers.

Less than two miles away from Shenglongji Castle is Yodo Castle, and there is also the banner of the Miyoshi family.

Yoshicho said to Isshiki Yoshiryu, Inaba Ryotsu and others behind him: "I will lead my headquarters to fight this Shengryuji Castle, and you will wait for soldiers and horses to guard against the enemy army in Yodo Castle. ”

Yishi Yilong has a lot of thoughts, of course he has to show it at this time, he hurriedly said: "Lord, please let your subordinates go up, your subordinates' strength is also one of the best in Minong." ”

Yichang smiled and said: "I understand your intentions, and it is also a heavy responsibility to guard the two wings of our army. ”

After Yoshicho refused Isshiki Yoshiryu's request, he set up a camp on a hill outside the castle of Katsuryuji Temple, and several military generals were sent to guard both sides of the army.

The headquarters of Yoshicho dispatched 3,000 men and horses to set up a formation 300 steps outside the castle of Shenglong Temple, and 3,000 defenders were dispatched to the city to deploy under the city wall.

Koizumi Katsuie was a samurai who had just been promoted to the head of the Ashigaru group, and he brought more than 30 ashigaru leaders, and the other two Ashigaru group leaders were under the management of the ashigaru general Yoshida Tsunayoshi.

Yoshida Tsunayoshi's ashigaru team and two other ashigaru teams formed a reserve team, which is now under the management of Yasuei Shimizu, who is a general.

Yoshicho is definitely the main opposite of Shikawa Yicun, and it happened that Shimizu Yasuei asked for battle, so Yoshicho arranged for Shimizu Yasuei, Mamiya Yasutoshi, and Nagahara Jingzong to each lead a reserve team to fight, of which Shimizu Yasuei's team took the lead.

Yasuei Shimizu was on a horse, and more than 20 people around him were his retainers and close attendants.

When he heard the sound of the conch coming from the formation, he waved his iron rod and said, "Attack!" ”

When Yoshida Tsunayoshi heard the order, he also shouted, "Attack! ”

Koizumi Katsuya hurriedly shouted: "Forward! Step on! ”

"Little ones, hold steady, hold your weapon steady, keep breathing, don't be nervous!"

"A head is a reward of 300 Wen, and a credit is credited!"

"You're lucky, you can become a samurai with just five merits! Do you want to be a samurai master? Cut off the enemy's head! ”

Katsuya Koizumi carried his spear and boosted the morale of his Ashigaru team.

"Oh!"

"Koizumi, the villain will definitely work hard!"

"Let these people know how good we Shinano people are!"

"The little one must cut off five heads!"

As soon as the ashigaru was stimulated, coupled with the adrenaline rush, they shouted and vented their emotions.

By this time they had already walked a hundred and fifty steps.

"Stop!" Shimizu Yasui shouted.

"Stop!" Tsunayoshi Yoshida shouted to his team.

When Katsuya Koizumi heard the order, he immediately roared angrily: "Stop! All stop and wait for new orders! ”

Everyone stopped, they were taking a deep breath, and they were clutching the barrel of their spears, they knew what was going to happen next.

At this time, a herald ran over and found Yoshida Tsunayoshi and said, "Let your men retreat to both sides, keep an eye on the enemy army, and prepare the wooden tree." ”

Yoshida Tsunayoshi hurriedly shouted to the far right: "Divide the two sides, give way!" ”

Koizumi Katsuya hurriedly retreated to the left with more than 30 of his own people, and the Sawada team retreated to the right.

Team Nagai picked up the wooden tree and bamboo bundle and took a few steps forward.

It was all going fast, and the team didn't panic.

Yishi Yilong and the others who were watching in this formation were amazed, and Yishi Yilong slapped Yichang with a rainbow fart in time.

There was some shock in Inaba's eyes, and at the same time, there was a respectful look in his eyes when he looked at Yoshinaga.

The rest of the people were also surprised by Yoshicho's well-trained army, and they realized why Yoshicho had to let his team go up, which was clearly showing his muscles.

At this time, Isshiki Yoshilong saw that the big tube Miki team, which had only more than two hundred people, who had been behind Shimizu Yasuei's team, pushed a strange car forward, and he couldn't help but ask, "Lord, what is the big tube team doing?" ”

Yoshicho stroked his three-inch-long beard and said proudly: "That is the sharp weapon of our family to break through Odawara Castle, and it is called the collapse of the country!" As soon as this thing came out, the ordinary forces could only collapse in front of it. ”

The country collapses!

Yishi Yilong and the people around him were bluffed by Yichang like this, but they were half-convinced.

Yishiyi Dragon was surprised: "This thing is so terrifying, just hearing the name makes people feel terrified." He complained inwardly: I believe in your evil and brag.

The rest of the people also followed the rainbow fart, but they were all embarrassed in their hearts.

Yoshicho was slapped by them with a rainbow fart, and his heart was very comfortable, and he saw that Miki was already in place, and immediately waved the golden fan.

When Shimizu Yasuei saw the flash of golden light, he immediately shouted: "The lord has an order, you can open fire!" ”

Miki waved the flag embroidered with the Ogasawara family crest and shouted, "Ignite the fire!" ”

When Katsuya Koizumi heard the order to light the fire, he immediately said, "Cover your ears!" ”

"Boom, boom..."

The three cannons were fired together, and in an instant, they fell on the opposite military formation, and a ashigaru phalanx was destroyed, and the opposing team was in disarray.

It's not the first time that Yasuei Shimizu has seen artillery, but it's the first time I've seen the damage of the team's artillery, and the power of one cannon penetrating a military formation is terrifying.

In this formation, Ishiki Yoshiryu and the others, who were thinking about watching the play, were so startled by the sound of cannons that they almost fell off the horse, like Shigemoto Takenaka and the others exclaimed: "Where is the thunder!" ”

Yichang waved his hand and said: "This is the voice of the collapse of the country, what do you think?" ”

When Yishii Yilong looked at the battlefield, his eyes immediately widened, and he said in surprise: "Hiss! This thing is not human! The lord has this sharp weapon, and he is already invincible in the world! ”

Inaba Ryotsu and the others all gasped and blew the rainbow farts of Yichang.

On the side of Miyoshi's family, it was Shikawa Ichicun who personally supervised the army on the castle tower, and it was not the first time he had seen artillery, and it was not uncommon for a country to collapse in Kyushu, Shikoku and Sakai Port.

On the contrary, he was surprised how Shinano could have artillery, and he could accompany the army, and the kokuban he had seen in Sakai Port was very cumbersome, and he couldn't pull it without dozens of people, especially the rugged mountain roads.

He gritted his teeth and said: "How to find out the news, such a sharp weapon has not been found out!" Hurry back to Setjin and let the lord increase the country's collapse! ”

At this moment, a small phalanx of more than 100 people in the Miyoshi Army had collapsed, and the Ogasawara Army began to move.

After a round of artillery, Miki left three cannons still, and he stepped forward with a large iron cannon and a large cannon.

Soon the army was only eighty paces away from the enemy before stopping.

Miki immediately asked his subordinates to push out the big iron cannon and the big barrel to face the Miyoshi army, and the Miyoshi army purchased the big iron cannon from the Neraiji Temple.

The two sides exchanged a round of shots, and more than a dozen ashigaru people in the front row who were holding wooden trees screamed and fell to the ground.

On the other side, dozens of people in the front row were basically gone, and the team was so frightened that it was also defeated.

Yasuei Shimizu immediately ordered his team to advance.

Tsunayoshi Yoshida regrouped his troops and marched towards the Miyoshi Army.

As he walked, he counted the distance from the enemy.

"Thirty steps!" Yoshida Tsunayoshi silently chanted, and immediately shouted: "Stop! The Iron Artillery Corps step forward! ”

Koizumi Katsuya heard the shout, and hurriedly urged his team's iron cannon ashigaru, and his team was all iron cannon ashigaru.

His men immediately took down the iron cannon and methodically reloaded the ammunition.

However, the Miyoshi Army's iron artillery team, which was waiting for their attack, had already restocked their ammunition.

"Bang bang bang..."The Miyoshi army was the first to fire, and many of the ashigaru were shot and fell to the ground, and after they finished firing, the ashigaru troops began to charge.

Yoshida Tsunayoshi carried a spear, waved his fan, and shouted: "Steady, don't panic!" Those who retreat will be killed, and the descendants will be slaves! ”

With the intimidation of Tsunayoshi Yoshida, this quieted down the somewhat riotous team.

Koizumi Katsuya lifted his hood, looked at the filling of his subordinates, and shouted: "When the filling is done, aim and listen to my orders!" ”

Soon, the iron cannons in his team were filled with iron cannons.

He shouted, "Raise your gun!" ”

"Aim!"

"Shoot!"

Bang bang bang......

A series of sounds sounded, and the charging Miyoshi Army suddenly fell a few people, and the empty position immediately rose up.

But then another round of gunfire rang out, and several more people fell from the Miyoshi Army. The samurai of the Miyoshi family immediately shouted and calmed the troops.

But then another round of gunfire rang out, and one of the samurai was shot and fell to the ground, and his team immediately became chaotic.

Someone took the lead in turning back and running, but was beheaded by the Fenggong people, who immediately shouted for the rest of the ashigaru to return to their positions, and at the same time a military officer paid a Fenggong person to serve as the commander of the squad.

After the iron cannon was fired, Shimizu Yasuei immediately ordered: "Kill!" ”

"Kill!" Tsunayoshi Yoshida waved his fan and let his subordinates attack.

Katsuya Koizumi raised his spear and shouted, "Little ones, pick up the spear and line up and kill it!" ”

The Koizumi team was still preparing to charge, and the Nagai team and the Sawada team had already clashed with the Miyoshi army.

Suddenly, there was a shout of killing on the battlefield, and the sound of spears flapping everywhere was heard.

Koizumi Katsuie's side also fought with the Miyoshi Army, and the two sides used their spears to attack each other.

A skinny Miyoshi Gunashi, ashigaru, squeezed from the second row to the first, and he bent over to run under the rows of spears, which happened to be empty.

He drew his sword, parrying the spear that was about to be knocked down, and at the same time burst in front of Koizumi's team Ashigaru and stabbed people directly.

The stabbed Ashigaru was holding a spear and slapping people, and his hands were empty, so he could only watch as Ashigaru of the Miyoshi Army stabbed him into the lower abdomen.

He screamed miserably, unable to hold the spear and slap it, and then was slapped on the head by a Miyoshi military ashigaru with a spear, and immediately fell to the ground and passed out.

Koizumi Katsuya happened to see the hateful Miyoshi Soldier Ashigaru, and he was about to set off to deal with that man, when the lead samurai in the small phalanx of the Miyoshi Army jumped out and said, "In Shimo-Awaji Otsu Hohidetaka, come and get a name!" ”

Koizumi Katsuya held the spear and shouted: "In Shinano Koizumi Katsuya, come and ask for advice!" ”

Koizumi Katsuya didn't care about that ashigaru, so he fought with Otsu Hohidetaka.

This Otsuho Hidetaka is shorter than Koizumi Katsuya, and his strength is also lacking, but fortunately, his martial arts are exquisite, and he is only equal to Koizumi Katsuya.

Koizumi Katsuya pressed people with force, not giving Otsu Hidetaka a chance to perform, and continued to slap hard, and Otsu Hidetaka began to tremble with his arms.

He saw the opportunity, secretly rejoiced in his heart, and shouted: "Your head has been accepted below!" Sine! ”

"Smack!"

"Ahh

Otsuho Hidetaka couldn't block it, and Koizumi Katsuie's full force hit him in the head, and he immediately fainted and fell to the ground, bleeding profusely.

Koizumi Katsuya immediately grabbed Otsu Hohidetaka's hood, so that his neck leaked out, Koizumi Katsuya pulled out the ribs, Otsu Hohidetaka cut his throat, and donated blood and sprayed all over the ground.

Then he cut off the head of Otsu Hohidetaka with a sword, held it up with a spear and shouted: "Awaji's Otsu Hohidetaka has been taken by me, Shinano's Koizumi Katsuya!" ”
