Chapter 107: The Moon is Dark and the Wind is High
Sure enough, when Isono Nobusumi sent someone to inform his subordinates of the military situation, Isono Yuanchang's men also came to Isono Nobusumi's house. The man kowtowed to Nobusumi Isono in the middle of the house under the porch of the main house and said, "The lord heard that the young master has a friend visiting, and he sent some fine sake to the next place. After listening to the man's words, Burning Sky turned his head to look at the man, only to see that the moment the man's eyes met Burning Sky, a look of horror appeared on his face.
"It's you!" The man under the porch trembled and raised his left arm to point to the incinerated air sitting in the middle of the room. Seeing this, Burning Sky said to the man, "Have you and I ever met?" After listening to the words of the burning air, the man waved his hand to the attendant behind him, who brought seven jugs of sake into the house and placed it in front of Nobusumi Isono.
Nobusumi Isono looked at the sake brought to him, got up and said to the samurai under the porch, "It's really troublesome, I'm helping, thank my father on my behalf!" Isono Nobusumi said as he came to Kan Yisuke's side, and Kan Yisuke also saw Isono Nobusuki coming, so he got up and bowed to Isono Nobusumi before retreating.
At the moment when Kan Yisuke turned to leave, Isono Nobusumi pulled out the ribs around his waist with lightning speed and stabbed the ribs into Kan Yisuke's body. Immediately, Akijiro Fushiwa and Ichisuke You, who were on duty at the door, closed the door and drew their sabers at their waists. After a few breaths, there were five more corpses in Isono's courtyard, and there was also an extra bloodstain on Isono Nobusumi's body.
Ordered his subordinates to clean up the corpse and walked behind Isono Nobusumi, patted Isono Nobusumi, whose eyes were a little dull, and whispered to Isono Nobusumi: "Seven soldiers, we must hurry!" Then Fushiwa Akijiro and Ichisuke Right opened the door of Isono Nobusumi Yashiki and waited for the arrival of Isono Nobusumi's men.
Soon after, the samurai under Isono Nobusumi also arrived at Isono Nobusumi's house one after another, and the samurai looked at Isono Nobusumi with a distinct blood stain on his clothes, and their hearts were somewhat frightened, not knowing what Isono Nobusumi had to do to call him to the house. And Nobusumi Isono, who was standing on the porch of the house, looked at the samurai in the roof with a gloomy face, and saw that the samurai were even more furious in their hearts.
At this time, Burning Sky walked out from the side of the samurai, turned his back to the samurai and said, "Now is the time when the survival of the Isono family is in danger, would you like to help Shin Sumi-sama?" With that, he turned around and looked at the samurai in front of him. Most of these new samurai had seen the burning of the sky when they were out in Higashimino, and the scene at that time can be described vividly. The samurai, who had been quiet, became quieter, if not deadly.
Afterwards, Nobusumi Isono took out the letters from his bosom from Isono and Ashikaga and Matsunaga, and read them to the samurai in the courtyard one by one. Burning Sky was a little surprised at this time, Isono Nobusumi had not told him about the letter he was reading before. After reading the letters, Nobusumi Isono handed them to the side of the burner, and said to the samurai in front of him, "I stole these letters from Isono Yuanmasa's study, and some of them have never even been read by Lord Hieiyama. ”
After Sakaku received the letter, Isono Nobusumi said to the samurai: "Isono Masashi originally thought he was obedient to his family, but this time he wanted to take refuge in the Ashikaga family, and now the Ashikaga family is a broken candle in the wind, and Isono Yuanchang has been deceived by the Ashikaga family; It took only two or three days from Gifu Castle to Takashima-gun's mountain castle, and Hashiba-sama sent troops from present-day Hamajo to Takashima-gun's mountain castle; With the strength of the Ashikaga family, how can they capture more than a dozen castles in two or three days to support Takashima-gun's mountain castle? If Isono betrays his family, who wants to die with him? ”
After listening to Isono Nobusumi's words, all the samurai in the courtyard fell silent, and after a few breaths, some samurai knelt on the ground and said to Isono Nobusumi: "I wish to serve the lord!" Then a group of samurai knelt down and pledged their loyalty to Shinsumi Isono.
Seeing that the samurai were willing to follow him, Nobusumi Isono said to several samurai: "If you see a fire in the city tonight, you will lead your men to take the city gate, and after taking the city gate, you will hold the city gate, and no one will be able to open the city gate unless I come in person!" Immediately, Isono Nobusumi said to the other samurai, "You go back and gather Ashigaru immediately, and after the fire starts, follow me to capture the Honmaru Castle Palace!" ”
After hearing this, the samurai agreed one after another, and then left Isono Nobusumi's house under the orders of Isono Nobusumi. Burning Sky stood aside and watched Isono Nobusumi send off the samurai, walked up to Isono Nobusumi and returned the letter to Isono Nobusumi and instructed: "Be sure to keep it safe, after the arrival of the main father's reinforcements, this time can prove that Isono Nobumasa betrayed his family." ”
Listening to the words of the burning sky, Isono Nobusumi smiled at the burning sky and said, "This is nature! With that, Nobusumi Isono put the letter into his arms again, then looked up at the burning sky and said, "Mingshamen, where should we set fire?" After thinking about it for a while, he smiled and said to Isono Nobusumi, "Nanabei, is there anyone who is more familiar with Takashima-gun Yamashiro than you?" Where do you think it's best to burn? ”
After listening to the words of the burning air, Isono Nobusumi smiled and waved his hand and said, "Mingshamen has passed the prize, since this is the case, let's set fire to the arsenal!" ”
After listening to Isono Nobusumi's words, Burning Sky nodded, and then said to the right Ichisuke behind him: "Take out the iron cannon and cannon powder!" After listening to the words of the burning air, Ichisuke and Suzuki Heavy Industries walked to the wooden box and took out the gifts in the wooden box, and took out five iron cannons from the mezzanine. Seeing this, Nobusumi Isono also returned to the house, put on his belly roll, and tied his sword around his waist.
Burning Sky looked at Isono Nobusumi, who had a hint of determination in his eyes, and whispered to Fushiwa Akijiro beside him: "Tell everyone that they will follow me when they act, and no one is allowed to act without my orders." After listening to the words of the burning air, Fushiwa Mingjiro was stunned for a moment, and then whispered to the promise to burn the air.
As it was completely dark, Takashima-gun's mountain castle fell silent. Suddenly, a flash of fire rose into the sky, breaking the silence of Takashima-gun's mountain castle in an instant. After the fire broke out, the army under Nobusumi Isono divided into two teams and rushed towards Honmaru and the city gate respectively. The people of the city threw themselves into the firefighting operation the moment they discovered the fire, and Nobusumi Isono and Kanku rushed directly to the castle hall of Honmaru with nearly 300 men.
The samurai on duty in front of the castle hall was beheaded by Isono Nobusumi when he stepped forward to ask about the intention of Nobusumi Isono and others. Seeing that Isono Nobusumi had killed the samurai on duty, he led everyone into the castle hall. Then under the guidance of Isono Nobusumi, the burning air kicked open the door of Isono Yuanchang's room, holding the knife and stabbing directly into Isono Yuanchang's futon, but in the next second, Isono Yuanchang's face instantly turned iron-blue, and he turned his head in horror to look at Isono Nobusumi behind him.
I saw that Nobusumi Isano, whose face was covered by fierce cheeks, said loudly to his subordinates at this time: "Guard the gate of the castle hall and send someone to check the situation in the castle tower!" ”
