Near noon, the main force of the Miyoshi Army was finally in place. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 At this time, Iwanari Yutong had already overfulfilled the task, not only clearing the surroundings and trapping the city, but also breaking through the two outer cities of Ninomaru and Sannomaru.

It only took three rounds of attacks, and if all the outer garrisons of Jiang City were defeated, only the Honmaru with a radius of less than a hundred steps would remain, and it would be alone in a corner. With the turbulent river at its back and the newly repaired stone wall in front, it is relatively sturdy, and the lightly armed Iwacheng army has nothing to do with it for a while. So I surrounded it for the time being.

It went so well. Even in Iwanari's words, it was too smooth.

After checking one by one to make sure that the target was not mixed with the miscellaneous soldiers, Iwanari released the captives who voluntarily raised their hands to surrender as agreed, and did not ask for ransom as customary. But those who dared to resist cut off their heads and piled them up in the most conspicuous place at the city gate. This move completely demoralized the defenders, causing the rabble in the city to lay down their arms.

According to the situation submitted by the military commander, the number of troops lost by the defenders in the city has reached more than 500 according to rough statistics. Coupled with the number of surrenderers, the total is close to a thousand, and there shouldn't be much combat power left in this pill.

The only thing that worries the commander of the Miyoshi Army is that so far, no action has been seen from Matsunaga Hidehide and Hitetehide, which is what Iwasari Yudo fears. These two guys are definitely not characters who will sit still. However, the truth has reached this point, and the other party seems to have no way to recover.

What's more, in the current situation, it is impossible for the Miyoshi Army to turn back, at least Miyoshi Changyi and Miyoshi Masaysu, the two people who hold real power, will not agree.

After the main force arrived, it was not in a hurry to rendezvous, but circled the city, surrounded by water, and then handed over to Iwanari's first gesture.

Zhengkang, as the chief general, was also very satisfied after observing the situation, and then made this arrangement:

"The loss of the main tax (Iwasari Yutsu) is not small, so let's rest first, and then Honmaru will let me take charge of it myself."

In the past, Yan Cheng may have been a little dissatisfied with this arrangement, but now is obviously not the time to compete for the first credit, so he nodded and said that he accepted the arrangement, but he still couldn't help but say loudly:

"The young lord (Miyoshi Yoshitsugu) doesn't mention it, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki doesn't know how to fight at all, but the tie between Matsunaga Shu and Owari is probably not someone who sits still......"

"Do you still call that kid young master?" Before he finished speaking, Miyoshi Changyi glared at him with some dissatisfaction, and then stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder comfortingly, as if to give him some confidence, "What's more, you are too overestimating Matsunaga and the others, we are rushing here, even if they have great ability, they don't have time to react." ”

Miyoshi Zhengkang didn't make a sound, but he nodded silently, not knowing whether to be really confident or force himself to believe.

Seeing this, Yan Cheng Youtong could only sigh lightly: "I hope so." ”

Then Zhengkang continued:

"The army of nearly 10,000 can't be hidden, and it is estimated that enemy reinforcements will come soon. Then the interception task will be handed over to Sun Shilang (Miyoshi Changyi), is 5,000 people enough? ”

"Three thousand is enough!" Miyoshi Changyi said proudly, "Although my military education is not as good as that of Youemon (Miyoshi Masayasu), I can still resist the battle and defend it, but on your side, is the siege force enough?" ”

"There are no more than 300 people in the city, how can ten times the number of troops to attack the city not be enough? If you have more, you won't be able to open it. Miyoshi Masakang smiled lightly, and made a bamboo in his chest, as if he had returned to the time when he followed the old lord Changqing to fight in the south and the north, and was invincible.

"Without further ado, let's get started! The revival of the Miyoshi clan depends on today! Miyoshi Changyi raised his eyebrows and roared.

And at this time, the leader of the matter, Hirata Hohide, was lying lazily in a safe place, watching the embarrassment of the other party taking the bait from a distance - this is obviously impossible.

As a military commander, you can get by by arranging everything, but as a politician, it can't be so easy.

Especially when certain things are associated with the imperial court and the shogunate.

Sitting in the middle of a bunch of famous and high-ranking officials, the unofficial and positionless Tieshou Tunxiu was originally inconspicuous. However, he was also an envoy on behalf of the Oda family, and the ministers did not dare to despise him. This kind of polite and carefully worded diplomatic occasion, although a tie has long been accustomed to it, is still impossible to enjoy it.

Fortunately, the candidate sent by the shogunate is good, although Hosokawa Fujitaka is also of noble birth, but he is by no means a flashy child, but a capable person with military and political talents and strategic vision. Hiseki is used to dealing with Akechi Mitsuhide, so he is naturally not too unfamiliar with him.

However, at this time, Hosokawa Fujitaka's mood was not very good, and he actually had a lot of complaints about the plan to lure the Miyoshi Army this time, but Ashikaga Yoshiaki couldn't listen to it, and there was no way.

From the point of view of employing people, the new shogun was still very sober-minded, although he also nominally recruited a large number of nobles with no name as high-ranking officials of the shogunate, but did not give him any real power. When it comes to the really important places, Yoshiaki can also promote talents in an eclectic way. For example, the Akechi Mitsuhide, and the Koga ninja-born Wada Yumasa have all been reused.

It's just that incompetent children of famous families occupy high positions, but people who do practical things have no right to speak, how can such a group continue for a long time?

For example, the Hosokawa Fujitaka in front of him is a capable person who can stand out under any daimyo, but his status in the shogunate may not be very high.

But this point is not something that Ashikaga Yoshiaki can change if he wants to.

After all, it was no longer the right time for the Muromachi shogunate to survive.

"It's so desolate!"

Tie Fan Xiu suddenly blurted out.

"Desolate?" As a well-known literati, Hosokawa Fujitaka pretended to be puzzled, "Could it be that the Heiteden mistakenly thinks late spring is early autumn?" ”

It was obviously a feeling for the situation, but he misinterpreted it as a description of the scenery, and I don't know whether this elegant samurai was intentional or unintentional.

Fan Xiu was slightly surprised, and then he also smiled, and decided to push the boat down the river, so he said:

"Isn't it very desolate that the season of flowers is coming, but some of them are about to wither in advance?"

"It turns out that the Heijuden is taking pity on the enemy army." Hosokawa Fujitaka made a sudden look, "The Miyoshi family was also Xuan He for a while, and now it is about to come to an end, although it is self-inflicted, but it also makes me and other martial artists quite regretful." ”

Pingshou Fanxiu smiled lightly, and did not comment on it, but just took over the conversation and said: "The vicissitudes of life, changing with each passing day, there is no normality in the world, and the ancients have prepared it!" Those who have left their names in history are not in vain, but those loyal ministers and righteous people who perished with the master's family are all unknown, what a pity! ”

Hosokawa Fujitaka spent a lot of time trying to understand the meaning of the conversation, but the color suddenly became very complicated, and he could only shake his head and smile bitterly.

Tie Tsutsu Xiu also stopped talking. In his memory, Hosokawa Fujitaka was a person who could see the big picture clearly, and he did not surrender to Oda after the fall of the shogunate, but maintained an unclear relationship before. I believe that this kind of thing does not need to be said much.

"Two, the enemy is in the army!"

Before anyone saw it, the sound came first, and even in the battle array, it was rare to see Akechi Mitsuhide so excited.

Wandering in all directions, Huai Cai has not met, and there is no merit after the age of forty. Under the breezy expression, there is a hot heart of fame. (To be continued.)
