"Bow foot light! Hurry up and release the arrows! ”

Matsunaga Shu shouted that the bow behind him came up, and the iron cannon Ashigaru immediately retreated to change the bullets.

However, just when the Miyoshi family's bow and foot light came up, Yoshinaga's side had already prepared his subway cannon samurai.

Yoshicho hid behind the bamboo bundle and shouted, "Shoot! ”

"Bang bang bang..."

"Ahh

The Miyoshi family, who had just stood on the road, was hit by a lot of people, and the rest of the bows hurriedly pulled their bows and arrows and shot arrows at the army formation.

As a result, dozens of Shigetsu warriors carried a wave of arrows, and several arrows were stuck in their bodies.

Yoshicho sneered and shouted, "Shoot! ”

Dozens of heavy wisteria warriors immediately raised their bows and arrows and shot arrows at the Miyoshiya above the road, none of them missed the target, and each arrow killed a bowshik.

Matsunaga was so startled that he didn't dare to show his head.

At this time, Yoshicho took the city gate, and the Sanada team had already rushed in, and Sanada Nobutsuna ran to Yoshinaga's side and said, "Lord, let me take the lead in the next step!" ”

Yoshicho waved his hand and said, "You and Iwashita will expand the area on both sides, completely capture the walls of this outer pill, and snatch the country of the Miyoshi family!"

With the right guard! Go out and tell the Mino, let them advance on both sides outside the city and build a defensive line! ”

Yoshicho stayed at the Yongdaokou and stopped advancing, but the rest of the Shimizu Yasuei and several other reserves attacked in all directions, and the Miyoshi army that fought Waimaru quickly collapsed, and all of them retreated to Ninomaru.

Matsunaga Shu retreated to Ninomaru with the defeated soldiers, and then handed over the troops to his retainers to deal with, and he hurriedly ran to the castle tower himself.

He hurried all the way, and soon arrived at the castle tower, his current image was very embarrassed, and he didn't have a hood, and the head of the moon was already scattered in a large area.

The feather weaving on his body also showed broken places, and there were blood stains.

He climbed all the way to the top of the castle tower and shouted bitterly, "My lord! Tokawa has been taken by Ogasawara Yoshinaga! ”

Miyoshi Changqing's frowning brows suddenly tightened, he stood up directly, threw the fan in his hand on the ground, and shouted, "What did you say!" My brother was killed? ”

Matsunaga Shu knelt at the door, and then crawled in, the tears and snot on his face gathered together, and he cried: "Lord, Shikawa has already knocked down Ogasawara Yoshicho, but I only saw Ogasawara Yoshicho take out a short iron cannon, and he didn't even light the fire rope, so he shot directly and killed Tokawagaku!" ”

Miyoshi Changqing was originally able to withstand it, but he didn't know very well how Waimaru was attacked at first, and now he knew that it was his younger brother Shihe Ichicun who was killed.

The death of Shihe Yicun hit him very hard, and Sanhao Changqing was unbearable for a while, and suddenly felt that the world was spinning, and the whole person retreated.

The next Miyoshi Yixian and others exclaimed: "Lord! ”

"Your Highness, be careful!"

"Help Your Highness!"

There was a burst of chickens and dogs jumping in the castle tower, and Miyoshi Yoshixian helped Miyoshi Changqing to sit down and said, "Brother, let the courtier avenge Brother Yicun!" ”

Sanhao Changqing waved his hand and said, "Yixian, forget it, it's useless for you to go." ”

He touched his forehead, only to feel a splitting headache, he opened his eyes slightly and looked at the retainers and countrymen under his command, and suddenly understood in his heart that the situation of the Miyoshi family was dangerous.

During the years in Gyeonggi, the Miyoshi family has been committed to pacifying all opposition forces in Gyeonggi, and these methods are not only force, but marriage or temporary submission.

Now that the Miyoshi family has killed a big general, and has lost several times on the battlefield, the current Miyoshi family has lost the majesty it used to be in the eyes of these people.

Miyoshi Changqing pushed away Miyoshi Yoshiken and said loudly: "Everyone, although the outer pill was conquered by the enemy, the inner city is still extremely strong, and now you are preparing for a counterattack by the army!" ”

"Boom, boom..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of the collapse of the country sounded outside.

Yoshicho himself had three artillery pieces in his hand, and at the same time captured several Fran cannons of the Miyoshi family, and Yoshicho immediately asked all his men to use them to bombard Akutagawa Castle.

As the artillery fired, many parts of the inner city were destroyed, and even those wooden buildings were ignited by hot projectiles and began to burn.

In Ninomaru and Honmaru, many ashigaru and miscellaneous soldiers ran around and shouted, "Quickly put out the fire!" ”

"Dodge! Avoid! ”

At this moment, even Honmaru's castle tower was hit by a projectile, and several ashigaru were killed and wounded, even the maids were killed or wounded.

Miyoshi Changqing is already pale.

Miyoshi Yixian was surprised: "Brother, it's not safe here, get out of here quickly!" ”

Matsunaga Shu exclaimed, "What about the Shadow Warrior, call the Shadow Warrior quickly!" ”

Ikeda Nagamasa also shouted: "Miyoshiden, the enemy army is menacing, so let's stay out of the edge for the time being!" ”

The people of this country shouted for Miyoshi Changqing to run, but Miyoshi Changqing did not let go, he couldn't run, he ran this time, Settsu was lost, and he was going to return to Shikoku Island at that time.

Shikoku is so poor that place is compared to Settsu and other countries?

Miyoshi Changqing shouted: "Don't panic, my family has never seen any storms, calm down!" You go down first and stabilize your men. ”

After Miyoshi Changqing asked those retainers and countrymen to retreat, he immediately grabbed Miyoshi Yixian's arm and said, "Yixian, the future of Miyoshi family depends on you." Tonight you're going out secretly to negotiate with Yoshicho Ogasawara. ”

Miyoshi Yoshiken was a little worried: "Brother, now that Ogasawara Yoshicho is in a good situation, will he negotiate?" ”

Miyoshi Nagakei nodded and said: "He will, after his great victory in Katryuji Castle before, he sent an envoy to negotiate, and I have a feeling that Ogasawara Yoshinaga does not necessarily want to drive his family away." ”

Yoshiken Miyoshi nodded, trusting his brother's judgment.

Yoshicho didn't bombard for too long, and the artillery couldn't be used for a long time, otherwise the barrel would be deformed, and it would not be usable.

After a moment of bombardment, Yoshicho asked the artillery unit to stop, and the next thing was to let the various units carry out indiscriminate arrests in Waimaru.

However, Yoshinaga's indiscriminate arrests are not as vicious as those of other daimyos, especially the standing ashigaru team, which is not allowed to rob.

Those who were arrested indiscriminately only needed to pay the money and go back, and in this way, Yichang suddenly received thousands of yuan.

As night fell, the Ogasawara army lit torches all over the outer maru, and Ashigaru was building fortifications to prevent the enemy from attacking at night.

On the road leading to Ninomaru in the outer maru, the fortifications have been repaired, and a large number of torches have been lit, as if it were daytime, leaving no trace of the enemy army to be seen.

Ninomaru's defending general is Matsunaga Hide, who took charge of this place with his henchmen, and he said to Miyoshi Yoshiken behind him: "Yoshiken, this avenue can't be walked, you can go from a small path next to it." ”

Miyoshi nodded, and then left the city at night with the help of several of his men.

He got off the city wall and ran towards the darker place, but as soon as he entered the alley, two black shadows rushed out of the darkness, and two ninja knives were on his neck.

Miyoshi Yoshixian was a little panicked and said, "Here is the messenger of the Miyoshi family!" ”

One of the black shadows took the ninja knife and quickly disappeared into the darkness. Another dark shadow said, "Then please follow the villain." ”

The ninja escorted Yoshiken Miyoshi all the way to the gate where Yoshicho was temporarily staying.

Most of the gates were built with stone walls, which were relatively strong, and Yoshicho did not retreat to the outside of the city to station, but lived directly here.

Miyoshi Yoshiken climbed the door and entered the room, where he saw Yoshicho in armor sitting on a horse and eating.

Miyoshi Yoshiken nodded and said: "Under the three good doors, all the three good Awa Shou Yoshixian, I have seen Ogasawara Shinano Mamoru." ”

Yoshicho took a bite of the mountain whale meat, then immediately took a bite of rice, chewed a few bites, picked up the green vegetable miso soup next to him and took a sip, he smacked his mouth and said, "Awa Mamoru, has the imperial court canonized?" ”

Miyoshi Yixian was already waiting for a little embarrassed, but now when he heard the righteous elder's somewhat mocking tone, his heart was furious, he gritted his teeth and said, "No, how?" ”

Yoshicho took another bite of food and said, "Look at the whale meat in my bowl, he says it's whale meat, but he's not, I'd like to try the taste of whale meat."

What do you think? Will the taste of this mountain whale meat be the same as the taste of whale meat, after all, mountain whale meat is not real whale meat. ”

Miyoshi Yoshiken had blue tendons on his forehead, and said coldly: "Does Shinano Mamoru feel that he has a chance to win?" Our three good families can continue to fight! ”

Yoshicho sneered: "Heh, if you keep fighting, you will continue to fight, what are you going to do?" ”

Miyoshi Yoshiken let out a breath of turbidity and replied, "Could it be that Shinano Mamoru wants to watch the two families lose?" Besides, now that Imagawa Jibu Daisuke is stationed in Mikawa, isn't Shinano Mamoru worried? ”

Yoshicho snorted coldly, put down the dishes and chopsticks and said, "Hmph, if the Imagawa family dares to do it, it is a big taboo!"

The family has already given a chance, but it was Shihe Yicun who refused! ”

Miyoshi Yoshiken had to grit his teeth, endured his anger and lowered his head and said: "My brother didn't tell us, the family didn't know, and now that my brother died in the hands of Shinano Mamoru, let's write it off." ”

Yichang snorted coldly and said: "Forget it, he is dead, I won't pursue it, the conditions for the dismissal of the army are very simple, first, the three good families must all withdraw from the mountain city country, and the population and materials cannot be taken away." ”

Miyoshi Yixian nodded and said, "Okay, we agreed to this condition." ”

Yoshicho stretched out his hand and said: "The second condition, the military expenses of the family and the Uesugi Palace, the Miyoshi family must bear it, just give 80,000 yuan." ”

When Sanhao Yixian heard this number, he said angrily: "Shangluo was done by yourself, what does it have to do with your own family, it is impossible to produce these 80,000 yuan!" ”

Yoshicho's face changed, and he shouted: "This is the compensation of your three good families, and it must be paid, otherwise, the family will bombard the castle tower in the city tonight!" ”

Sanhao Yixian's face turned pale, and he bowed his head and said: "The number of 80,000 guan can't be the master in the next step, but 50,000 guan is okay." ”

Yichang waved his hand and said: "Then you can go back and discuss with the Miyoshi management agent and come back, but until you are still sure, the attack of this family will not stop." ”

Sanhao's righteous and virtuous face flushed, and after he held it for a while, he said: "Eighty thousand guan, my family gave it!" ”

Only then did Yoshicho smile and said, "Hahaha, those who know the times are junjie, so let's do it, I will ask the Dharma Master of Honganji Temple to be an intermediary, so that you and I can both be trusted." ”

Yoshiken Miyoshi has no objection to this.

When Yoshicho sent someone to ask, he agreed on the spot, and he has been helping Honganji to expand its influence, and he is highly concerned about Yoshicho's attack on the Miyoshi family.

Now he is the intermediary, so in the future, some daimyo in Gyeonggi will come to Honganji Temple if they have any conflicts to solve.

Therefore, Zhengru was very concerned about this matter, and he hurried to Akutagawa Castle with his disciples, and held an intermediary meeting for Miyoshi Chokei and Yoshicho.

Miyoshi Changqing had a cold face in the audience, and Yoshicho did not show a good face.

However, the meeting went smoothly and there were no twists and turns.

After signing the covenant, Yoshicho looked at Miyoshi Changqing and said, "Won't the Miyoshi Leader break the contract after the withdrawal of the family?" ”

Miyoshi Changqing snorted coldly and said: "Hmph, this family is not a nouveau riche in the countryside, you can rest assured of the reputation of this family." ”

Zheng Ru answered: "This matter will be fair, and this is what the intermediary should do." ”

When Yoshicho heard Zhengru's words, he was relieved that the power of Iljong in Gyeonggi was still very strong.

After signing the covenant, Yoshinaga did not stay long and withdrew to Nijo Castle with his army.

Before Ashikaga Yoshito waited for Uesugi Masato's army, he first got the news that the Miyoshi family had admitted defeat, and Yoshinaga returned to Nijo Castle and handed over the covenant to Ashikaga Yoshito.

In the big wide room, Ashikaga Yoshito was overjoyed, he finally had a country to play, not only Ashikaga Yoshito was happy, Hosokawa Harumoto and the shogunate served the public, and the royal companions who lost their territory and came to join the shogunate were all happy.

Ashikaga Yoshito looked at Yoshicho and said: "Ogasawara Shinano Mamoru, this time you have made a great contribution, Uesugi Guan led Kamiluo, you have made a meritorious service, I will not forget your contribution..."

Before he could finish speaking, a samurai ran up and shouted, "Report! His Royal Highness Uesugi has an urgent military situation, and the Kanto people led by the Furukawa Gongkata have rebelled! ”

Ashikaga Yoshito was startled and shouted, "What the hell is going on!" ”

The righteous chief below breathed a long sigh of relief, fortunately, he did it quickly, if this news broke out, he hadn't finished the three good families, and the matter of Shangluo would end miserably.

Yoshicho immediately spoke: "Your Highness, I'm afraid this is because the former head of the Hojo family, Hojo Shiyasu, died, and Uesugi Hall has no Hojo family hostages in his hands, and the Furukawa Gongfang has always been dissatisfied with Uesugi Hall, and Kamiroku let them see the opportunity." ”

Ashikaga Yoshito looked at the samurai outside the door and asked, "But really?" ”

The samurai hurriedly explained the matter, and there was no discrepancy with what Yoshinaga said.

Yoshicho immediately said: "Next, Uesugi Hall wants to quell the rebellion in Kanto, and I'm afraid I won't be able to go to Luo for a few years." And Daisuke Imagawa Jibe of Tokaido is now stationed in Mikawa, threatening his subordinate Mino, I'm afraid..."

Ashikaga Yoshito said angrily: "If the Imagawa family is not inferior, Shinano Mamoru can only send troops, and Owari, Mikawa, Echichu and Noto Shikoku, Shinano Mamoru can give orders."

Shinano Mamoru, I have high hopes for you, the shogunate only has a mountain city, and I am afraid that I will not be able to do enough in the face of the Miyoshi family, and I still need you to continue to go to Luo. ”

Yoshicho's heart blossomed at this moment, he didn't expect Ashikaga Yoshito to give him so much power, he hurriedly said: "Your Highness, rest assured, your subordinates will definitely support the shogunate and crusade against those who are not subordinate." ”

Ashikaga Yoshito smiled, he felt that he had only written a few blank checks and obtained a great loyal minister, and such a deal was worth it.
