Chapter Ninety-One: The Defenders Who Forced to Land
Listening to the suggestive words of his cronies, Ogasawara Motomasa's heart went blank.
Deep down he didn't want to be a traitor. But now, even if you want to be a loyal minister, you don't know what to do.
In the past, there was never a shortage of people who gave orders in the Miyoshi family - not to mention the old highness of Juguangin (Miyoshi Chokei), the lord of Myokokuin (Miyoshi Yoshiken), who led the Awa country, was also able to make good decisions, and then there were Antaku, Tokawa, Matsunaga, etc., and the people below only needed to resolutely obey the order and wait for the victory to distribute the benefits.
Now there are no people like Miyoshi Changyi and Shinohara Nagafang, and if something happens, no one can really stand up and turn the tide.
Ogasawara Motomasa was at a loss, but unconsciously there were a lot of people gathered around him, and the ambitious generation thought that he was really colluding with the Tie family to lead the way, and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to soar.
After some hesitation, a fire gradually broke out in the city, and the sound of iron cannons roared.
Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking the air, and the pro-soldier who had just spoken in his ear screamed "ah" and fell to the ground.
I was hit in the face by a stray bullet!
Ogasawara Motomasa's eyes widened, and he subconsciously reached out to grab it, but where was the time?
I saw blood and scraps of flesh splash on my face.
Some even fly into the mouth, giving a bitter salty taste.
If you look closely, the guards inside Ninomaru seem to be behind the wall, shooting indiscriminately at the people of Outer Maru!
After more than ten years of companionship, the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood have crawled out, and today he died under the gunfire of friendly troops!
Suddenly, Ogasawara Motomasa also had a trace of "Otherwise, it's just the opposite" mood.
The big house next to him had already drawn his knife and scolded angrily: "These bastards, Lao Tzu was still hesitating, but now we can make up our minds, we have to fight back!" Shoot inside the castle too! ”
Ogasawara Motomasa was suddenly startled, neither echoing nor stopping, but hurriedly found a covered corner and squatted, and then looked left and right. Then he found that many people had fled and hid like himself, but many others were already fighting back in the city.
There must be a spy from the Tieshou family who got involved, but what happened to those former colleagues? It's been bought out beforehand? Or do you turn against the situation when it is not good?
Originally, I thought that the season was so difficult, and I was willing to respond to the call to come to Shengrui City, all of which were hardcore loyal ministers...... Looking at it today, there are many people who have the mentality of fishing in troubled waters, hoping to find a future through the fall of the main family!
At such a critical juncture, why hasn't Lord Awa Mamoru (Miyoshi Choji) come out after a long time?
The main lord always shows up, and others who can calm people's hearts, such as the three good laughing rocks (Kangchang), and the Ten Rivers Hayato (Depository) are all angry or squeezed away, so if it goes on, even if some people remain loyal, they can't get unified command and dispatch.
There was another loud crackling sound, accompanied by the sound of a projectile breaking through the air.
Occasionally, there were screams, but more often they hit the outer walls or haphazardly stacked materials, causing soot and fire. The flames began to burn out in all directions.
It seems that the defenders of Ninomaru are still fighting and continue to shoot outward. Listening to this sound, it is estimated that there are about a hundred iron cannons.
In this narrow and tortuous environment, the deterrent power of a hundred iron cannons is still very great.
On the contrary, it is the so-called Tie Army, which shouts loudly, but it seems to be ...... Didn't really attack Ninomaru?
It looked like I was running back and forth in the outer pills, but I couldn't find the door to get inside.
"Damn, isn't that right?" Originally, the big house was determined to follow the back to paddle the water and make a merit and enter the city to plunder by the way, but after shouting the slogan of rebellion, it attracted a lot of iron cannons and was almost hit.
And what about Ogasawara Motomasa, who said that he would take the lead in "abandoning the dark and following the light"? Why is it gone?
Thinking about it like this, I can't help but wonder in my heart - the shouting is lively, is there a real fight?
also had a bit of a retreat.
However, looking outside, the big house became excited again, curled up and raised his knife and brandished, and encouraged a dozen subordinates on the left and right: "You see, there are all torches of the Tie Army outside, not to mention a few thousand people, and the overall situation is still stable!" We were absolutely not mistaken! ”
He had been a high-ranking retainer with four hundred and fifty kans, and at that time there were eighty or ninety ashigaru under his command. However, due to being involved in the power struggle, he was suspected of framing Zhongliang and killing his colleagues, and was deprived of most of his knowledge and deeds, and now he is only a mid-level samurai of 100 times, so he naturally can't afford to raise so many soldiers.
That's why we're ready to change our flag.
However, I didn't find a good time before, and I didn't dare to be a rafter.
As if to reflect this person's inference, a large wave of wolf-like soldiers appeared at the gate of the city not long after, presumably the follow-up of the Tie Army.
- The description of "like a wolf and a tiger" is guessed, because at night it is really impossible to see the overall situation, and can only be judged from the roar of the comer, which sounds quite imposing and has an elite appearance.
"Mino Kato Mitsutai joins the battle!"
"Tanba Kasai Nagashin is here!"
Hearing this, you know that two new troops have arrived.
The one in front is just that, the fame stops at the end of the beauty, no one has heard of this place nearby, but the name in the back has caused an uproar, and people's minds have changed.
Kasai Naganobu followed his father since childhood, and was the general of the old power Hosokawa Guanjia, and fought with the Miyoshi family for many years, although he was defeated repeatedly, but he was defeated again and again, and he was willing to surrender at the end of the road when he ran out of ammunition and food, and was known as a prestige in the area.
After Oda Kamiraku, he first demoted Nobunaga, and then followed the tie under the persuasion of Iwanari Tomotsu, and received 5,000 stone Zhixing, and he has not been in any practice, and he has just been appointed as a general of Beida.
This man's family is very influential on the island of Shikoku, and he served as the acting official of Higashi-Sanuki many years ago.
Immediately after that, an unknown person shouted:
"Iwanari Youtong is here on behalf of the Pingshou Criminal Department! The kings of the three good families, but there is subjugation, and they will never be slaughtered! Including Miyoshi Awamori (Choji)! The Xiaoyan Hall (Miyoshi Yasunaga) and the Hayato Hall (Ten Rivers Depository) have both been persuaded by me to tie, so why resist? ”
The voice really sounds a bit like Iwanari Yutong.
Ogasawara Motomasa, who was hesitant, was shocked and was excited to rebuild the big house that was bent on leading the party.
According to this statement, Miyoshi Yasunaga and Shihe Deposit Insurance will not be on the side of Miyoshi Changzhi, and this is said by Iwanari Youtong, so the credibility is very high invisibly.
At least in the heart of the big house, it is rather serious!
After receiving a few reinforcements, the Heite army seemed to have begun to storm on, and the entrance to Ninomaru's entrance courtyard was constantly filled with the noise of iron cannons, swords, and fighting, and the flames and smoke were mixed together, which was particularly dazzling under the night sky.
In fact, I can't figure out anything in the mess, and I can't tell how the fight is going at all.
The only thing that is certain is that the defenders inside Ninomaru have taken all the people outside as targets, and they have been firing iron cannons several times, killing and wounding many soldiers in this narrow castle.
Inside, there is no distinction between the enemy and the enemy, and it looks like there are countless drawers besieging the city outside, so those who are passively involved and have no will to fight can only find a place that is not easy to be noticed, holding their heads and squatting, praying that they will not be affected.
At most, those who are dissatisfied with the Miyoshi family fish in troubled waters and shoot back with symbolic arrows at Ninomaru, and no one is killed to the extent that they are incited to the point of being the king with a few shouts.
Then, those soldiers who are old and walking must be the military strength of the flat family.
The shouting is loud and the footsteps are powerful, even if you can't see clearly, you feel that the tiger is strong when you hear it, and it must be a large number of main forces coming.
Seeing this, the big house resettled and thought again, ready to move.
It's not really moving, though.
While hesitating, suddenly there was a loud roar from a certain direction, which shook people's legs numbly.
Then, I don't know who shouted at the top of his voice, "Haha, Ninomaru's powder magazine has been detonated!" Now that the wall has collapsed, let's rush in! ”
Hearing that this big house was resettled, he couldn't bear to turn over and was about to grab someone's head.
But he was stopped by a person beside him.
Ogasawara Motomasa didn't know what his purpose was, so he subconsciously stretched out his hand and said, "Wait, it doesn't seem right!" Is this really the direction of the inner city? It didn't sound like the wall was collapsing, it felt like the warehouse in Wai Guo had blown up......"
When the big house was resettled, he was suspicious of the words, and he stopped and prepared to take a closer look.
After a moment's pause, several more explosions were heard in all directions, much quieter. If you look closely, it seems that the Tie Sho Army did not really rush into the city.
Not to mention anything else, at least Ninomaru's iron cannon is still firing outwards in twos and threes.
However, something completely unexpected happened.
In the direction of the inner city, there was a cry of "I am waiting to surrender".
This cry was in the ears, and the fighting spirit of both sides was greatly reduced, and the sound of swords, guns and iron cannons gradually became sparse and scattered.
After a short while, after a chaotic sound of footsteps, there was finally a clear human voice, coming from the other side of the Ninomaru entrance: "I am Hosokawa Shinyuki, and I am here to ask for surrender to the Hiterate Army!" I hope you will keep your promise not to slaughter! ”
"I despise the lord of the criminal department, and he has never broken his promise!" Immediately, someone came out and responded: "In Shimokonishi Governor, I would like to guarantee that you are okay, otherwise you will teach me to die without a place to be buried!" However, dare to ask Hosokawaden, where is Miyoshi Awamori (Nagaji)? ”
"Awamori-sama......" Hosokawa Mayuki's voice clearly hesitated, but the volume was still loud enough, "He was so excited that he unfortunately fainted, and I have already let the guards take care of him!" ”
Good student care - these four words are pronounced with stress.
The implication is clear.
But the soldiers of the Miyoshi family were silent, and no one stood up to seek justice for a lord who was both stupid and arrogant.
Only Konishi Yukicho was righteous and stern: "The Lord of the Criminal Department sent me here, but I have ordered you not to harm the life of Miyoshi Awa Mamoru, please open the door quickly, let us see why he fainted?" Is a doctor needed? ”
