Chapter Ninety-Four: The Pavilion Rebellion (End)
Half an hour ago, at the Ninomaru Castle Gate of the Shintsukan.
Sajiro Doi and Ryozo Doki led the Shintsu family after a rapid march and finally arrived not far from the gate of Shintsukan.
"Quick, hurry up and light a bonfire and inform the Xinjin army in the city that the time has come to act as planned." As soon as he arrived near the gate of Shintsukan, Sajiro Doi immediately ordered his family to light a bonfire and notify the Shinjin army in the castle to open the gate. Now that they are about to attack the Xinjin Pavilion, they don't need to cover it up like they did in Yuanming Temple.
"Who are you, and what are you going to do with a campfire?" Not surprisingly, several Matsugami family Ashigaru at the gate of the Shintsukan Castle soon spotted Sajiro Doi and their traces.
However, the Shinjin army, which remained in the city against Song, also moved quickly at this time.
"What are you going to do? Ah~~~Ahh
After a while, the originally closed city gate of the Xinjin Pavilion slowly opened. Seeing this, Doi Sajiro was overjoyed and knew that this was the success of the Shinjin army in the city, so he hurriedly pulled out his katana and pointed at the city gate and said. "Ladies and gentlemen, the time has come to retake the Shinjin Pavilion. This time, only the Matsugami family was driven away, and everyone was rewarded. Come on. ”
"Haha." Outside the city, the Xinjin army quickly moved into the Xinjin Pavilion and united with the Xinjin army in the city. After the merger, the Shinjin army began to seize the key points in the museum according to the prior arrangement, but the subsequent battle went unusually smooth. The key point in the museum was almost no resistance when the Shintsu family was attacked, and it was soon captured more than half of it, which made Doi Sajiro happy and at the same time inevitably carried a trace of dark clouds in his heart.
"Hahahaha, the Matsugami Army is really vulnerable, and after a while, the family has reoccupied most of the vital places." After Ryozo Tsukiki captured several key points in the museum, he became a little proud under the brilliant results.
"Lord Tsuchijo, don't be too careless, although the Matsugami army is divided into various places, it will not be as vulnerable as it is now. It's a little strange that the family didn't encounter any samurai resistance when they attacked the entire building. "Sajiro Doi has always been a little worried about the battle situation that is too smooth, and at this time, seeing that Tsuki Ryozo is too contemptuous of the strength of the Matsugami army, he hurriedly spoke out to persuade him.
"Lord Doi, don't worry too much, don't you put these important places in the museum in front of us for nothing? Regardless of whether the defeat of the Matsugami army is true or not, as long as the main family occupies all the key points in the museum, even if it is fake, it can also make it real. Unlike Sajiro Doi's cautiousness, Ryozo Doki's view of the battle situation is somewhat unique.
"Well, that's all there is to it." Sajiro Doi sighed. However, none of them thought at this time that the Matsugami generals in the Shinjin Pavilion would not be able to take care of the defense of the city because they were gathered in one place, otherwise they would not have many concerns.
In the Shinjin building, the Matsugami generals are meeting the house.
Ohno Heinobu said immediately after hearing that the Shinjin army was attacking the city. "Ladies and gentlemen, it seems that something may have happened to the lord, now you will immediately lead your respective soldiers to guard the Xinjin Pavilion."
"Haha." Ohno Heinobu still has some prestige, and in addition to the critical situation at this time, he is still convinced by his orders and many samurai in Yashiki.
Just as they were about to leave the place to defend themselves against the enemy, a samurai spoke. "Ohno-sama, there are many samurai in the Shinzu family who have their hearts set on my Matsugami family, how should the family treat them?"
Ohno Pingxin gritted his teeth and said. "At this moment, the situation is critical, and whoever is an old minister of Xinjin will be regarded as the enemy of his family."
"Ohno-sama, no, so these people will all fall to the Shinjin family." Seeing that Ohno Heinobu was going to regard all the Shinzu samurai as enemies, Nobuji Hitoki hurriedly persuaded him.
"Hahahaha." Ohno said with a sneer. "Lord Nitogi, can you tell whether these Shinjin samurai are friends or foes? Even if you can tell the difference between the soldiers of your own family? At this moment, I can't take care of them and fall over there, and the most important thing is to keep the Xinjin Pavilion. ”
"This ......" Shinji Nishiki was speechless, and it was really difficult to distinguish friend from foe at this time.
Ohno Heinobu said proudly when he saw that Shinji Niki had nothing to say. "There is no need to talk about this matter again, it is all in accordance with the orders of the general."
"Haha." Soon, the samurai of the Matsukami family took action and began to organize the defense of the Shintsukan.
However, as expected, the first to suffer were those Shintsu retainers who fell to the Matsukami family.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the heart of the city is to the Matsugami family, and the siege of the city has nothing to do with the city."
"Damn, is this how the Matsugami family treated the samurai who fell to them?"
"It's hateful, if only I had followed Doi-sama in the first place." ......
Although these retainers repeatedly explained that they had nothing to do with the siege, the butcher's knife of the Matsugami family slashed at them, whether it was just in case or for their wealth. Finally, these Shinjin retainers began to fight back.
"Damn, it's a big deal to attack the Matsugami family with Doi-sama and them."
"Everyone, let's go with Doi-sama, and they will work together to retake the Shinjin Pavilion."
"In that case, don't blame the Matsugami family for falling to Doi-sama and them." ......
Soon, the remaining retainers of the Shinzu family all fell to the side of Sajiro Doi. In this regard, Doi Sajiro naturally included them in his camp regardless of their faults, and the strength of the Shinjin army that besieged the city increased greatly for a while, but at the same time, the Matsugami defenders gradually stabilized the situation under the leadership of the Matsugami samurai. Although a lot of important places in the museum were lost, the Matsugami family had the advantage of troops after all, and the battle situation was in a stalemate for a while.
At this time, Sajiro Doi felt that his time had come to announce the death of Matsugami Yoshiyuki, and he hurriedly said to an ashigaru beside him. "Quick, quickly hang the head of Matsugami Yoshiyuki on the head of the bamboo spear and raise it at a high place, and make sure that the retainers of the Matsugami family know that their lord Matsugami Yoshiyuki has been taken."
"Haha." Ashigaru took his order and left.
Immediately, Sajiro Doi immediately shouted loudly. "Ladies and gentlemen of the Matsugami family, Matsugami Yoshiyuki has been taken by the family. As long as you are willing to surrender to your family, I, Sajiro Doi, can save your lives. ”
"Matsugami Yoshiyuki has been taken by the family, and Matsugami Yoshiyuki has been taken by the family." Soon, the soldiers of the Shintsu family, led by the samurai, shouted loudly for the news that Matsugami Yoshiyuki had been taken.
"What, the righteous lord has been taken."
"It's fake, the Xinjin family must be telling lies."
"Look at it, damn it, the Xinjin family actually hung the lord's head on a bamboo gun." ......
Matsugami didn't believe the news that Matsugami had already been captured, but as Matsukami's head was suspended, they had to accept the fact that they were also going to have to accept it. Suddenly, people's hearts fluctuated, and the morale of the Matsugami army began to drop sharply.
Seeing this, Doi Sajiro was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered an attack. "Quick, attack quickly, the Matsugami army is already frightened."
"Haha." Soon, the Shintsu family accelerated their offensive against the key points in the museum occupied by the Matsugami army.
Sure enough, under the defeat of the morale of the Matsugami army, several important places were lost one after another, and soon the entire Nichimaru was only left with the border with the main pill under the control of the Matsugami army.
"Lord Ohno, what should we do if the lord dies?"
"Let's just withdraw our troops, and after returning to Songshang City, we will avenge the Lord in the future." ......
Losing important places one after another, the Songshang army was even more retreating.
This Ohno Heinobu still has some ability, and he hurriedly said when he saw that the morale of the generals was declining. "Ladies and gentlemen, this pill is still in the hands of the family, and we are still expected to defend the Xinjin Pavilion after a rest with the young master."
"That's right, the lord is gone, and there is still a young master." Ohno Heixin mentioned the young master, and suddenly many retainers had confidence again.
However, at this time, Nishinomaru suddenly heard a sound. "Matsugami Yoshinobu was taken, Matsugami Yoshinobu was taken." Soon Matsugami Yoshinobu's head was also hung high.
"What young master has also been taken from."
"It's over, it's over." At this time, the morale of the Matsugami army completely fell to the bottom.
"Quick, attack quickly, Matsugami Yoshinobu has also been taken." On the other hand, the Xinjin family is morale boosted, and the offensive is more violent.
"Withdraw, quickly withdraw from the Xinjin Pavilion."
"Run." The lord and the young lord were taken one after another, and the samurai of the Matsukami family no longer had the courage to fight to the death, and many began to think about preserving their power. The hearts of the people are moving, and Ohno Heinobu, who used to have the highest prestige, cannot unite them.
The Matsugami samurai began to retreat one after another, but the Shinjin army did not stop the retreat of the Matsugami army due to the order in advance. The collapse of these Shinjin troops became even faster, and after a while, only a few scattered Ashigaru belonging to the Matsugami family were left in the museum.
At this point, the Shinjin Rebellion finally ended, and the Shintsu Pavilion also returned to the hands of the Shintsu clan. And the death of Matsugami Yoshiyuki's father and son also made the situation of the Matsugami family gradually unclear.
