( After receiving Hidebo's instructions, the two gunners did not dare to delay at all, and immediately turned the muzzle of the gun towards the fleeing Ono brothers, as for the first anti-horse fence that was still intact, it was already useless, after such a devastating blow, more than 30 ashigaru behind the fence naturally fled, leaving only bamboo guns everywhere and a few Wuqi Tong flags planted next to the fence and shook with the wind

"Hinosuke, ignition of the fire!" When everything was ready, the gunner yelled at the ashigaru beside him, and ordered him to immediately step forward and light the arquebus, and then jumped neatly behind the large barrel, covering his ears and waiting for the launch

"Boom" Two black cannonballs roared out from the muzzle of the cannon like ghosts, quickly drawing a perfect arc in the air, and directly hit the panicked Ohno brothers and the samurai beside them

With the dust splashing everywhere, this team of more than a dozen people collapsed instantly, and the stump and broken arm were thrown into the sky, and soon fell into the water bori on the side, slowly sinking; Splashes of blood stained the stone bridge leading to Honmaru red, the only place where the Ohno brothers were buried; The samurai who were wounded but not dead and were still breathing wailed pitifully, hoping that the friendly army guarding the big hand mouth could pull them, but this was completely a fool's dream, 400 against 2,000 was already the end of the crossbow, who had the strength to rescue these companions who were dying in life?

Rubble mixed with mud seeped into the wound, with the medical skills of the time, unless the injured themselves were stubbornly resistant, once they were infected, there was only a dead end, some friendly troops originally wanted to drag them to safety, but as soon as they noticed the muzzles of the black holes on the two sides not far away, they finally turned their heads

On the castle tower of Honmaru, Osamu Ohno witnessed the whole process of the Ono brothers being blown up and killed by the big barrel, and through the Nanban mirror, he found his two younger brothers lying at the entrance of the stone bridge on the left and right, and due to the blur of flesh and blood, Osamu Ohno could only identify them by the clothes on their bodies

In less than half an hour, Fang was still the two younger brothers who swore and swore that they were in high spirits, but now they were separated from their yin and yang, and suddenly a wave of pathos and despair surged into his heart, Osamu Ohno grabbed the railing with both hands, and yelled heartbreakingly at the stone bridge, and tears were thrown under the castle tower

Hearing Osamu Ohno's roar, the samurai on the side couldn't help but be startled, Horino Koji hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him, but he didn't expect to be slapped to the ground only to see Ohno Osamu pointing at Horino Koji and scolding: "It's all you useless guys, so I ended up in such a field, and I was stunned what to do, so I quickly ordered Oteguchi's army to withdraw to Honmaru, Ninomaru... Just give it up."

"Give up Ninomaru?!" Horino Koji staggered to his feet, and said excitedly: "Now that the anti-horse fence has been broken, Datekou can't stay for a long time, but now that the general is withdrawing in, I'm afraid that he will be pursued, and then it will be more than lucky!" ”

"And what do you suggest?" Osamu Ohno understands that as soon as Osamu Ochibo dies, only Koji Horino next to him can be relied on

Horino Koji pointed to the palace on the side of Honmaru, bowed down and said: "Now that the young lord is in our hands, those rebels dare not act rashly, we only need to send one person to negotiate peace outside the gate, indicating that unless they withdraw from Ninomaru, the safety of the young lord cannot be guaranteed In this way, those adults who regard themselves as loyal ministers and righteous men will definitely be willing to submit, and it will be foolproof for our army to shrink the army back to Honmaru at that time."

After listening to Horino Koji's words, Osamu Ohno suddenly opened, and he excitedly held Horino's hand to make amends for his reckless behavior just now: "Horino Lord is really a trustworthy and loyal minister, but this envoy makes the enemy camp very important, and it is not safe to hand it over to others, so I will bother you to go, right?" ”

"This ......" Horino Koji wanted to speak and stopped, this is compared to "dumb people can't say that they have to eat Coptis chinensis", there is no way, in the face of Osamu Ohno's cold eyes, Horino had to nod and agree, but before leaving, he eliminated Osamu Okinaga's ability to arrange the remaining sergeants of Honmaru as a guard to him, so as to avoid accidents

Osamu Ohno looked around, shook his head, and said, "Look at it, there are only about 20 people left in the entire castle tower, so it makes no difference whether you give it or not, right?" "Due to the tight war in Ninomaru, Osamu Ono allocated all of Honmaru's military strength to Osamu Ohno, which caused an embarrassing situation in which Honmaru had no troops to adjust

Horino Koji didn't think so, he once again set his eyes on the palace of Marunaka, and said with a smile: "Aren't there still fifty Imperial Horse Houses there, and if you hand them over to you, you will definitely be able to guarantee and be foolproof."

"That's not going to work!" Osamu Ohno subconsciously refused: "That's for the sake of guarding the young master and being able to ascend, unless it is absolutely necessary, it must not be transferred."

"Hmph, isn't it a last resort?" Horino Koji sarcastically said, "Notomori is your ally, if you don't even believe in your allies, then how can you trust you?" ”

"Horino you!" Osamu Ohno suddenly became angry, and his cheeks reddened angrily: "How can you talk to me like this? It's okay, I want you to take it away, but the ugly words are ahead, if the peace can't be reached, don't blame me for being merciless! ”

"I understand," Koji Horino bowed in return, smiled coldly, turned around and walked towards the palace with the samurai in the castle tower, leaving Osamu Ohno and two samurai to guard the castle tower

Looking at the arrogant and domineering back of Koji Horino, Osamu Ohno was angry and hateful, but he could only accept this reality: "It seems that my chief is going to die at the hands of this gang of traitors"

Suddenly, he noticed a trembling maid walking past him, holding a tea tray with a few pastries and a pot of matcha on it, and Osamu Ohno immediately stopped her

Osamu Ohno leaned his nose to the teapot and sniffed it vigorously, and exclaimed, "This is a tribute that Taiko has treasured for many years, right?" ”

The maid nodded tremblingly, and replied: "It is the Wuzhou green that Taige loves to drink, Mrs. Fang Cai ordered someone to send a message to the slave maid, saying that she was a little hungry, and asked the slave and maid to fetch some refreshments, and the slave and maid had the courage to break into the castle tower and beg the repairer to forgive her sins."

Osamu Ohno didn't get angry, but helped her up and said kindly: "How can I blame you for being so caring for Madame, but Madam just told me that she was feeling a little unwell and didn't want to see anyone... In this case, you give me the refreshments, and I will bring them in for you when Madame is better."

The maid wanted to shake her head, but looking around at the four strong samurai beside Ohno, she finally nodded, handed the refreshments to the samurai on the side, and hurriedly retreated from the castle tower

Seeing the maid go away, Osamu Ohno immediately grabbed the tea tray, quietly walked to the door of the tea room, straightened his clothes, knocked on the door, and said, "Madam, the maid brought some refreshments, can you eat a little?" ”

"If the concubine doesn't eat, you get out of me!" As soon as Osamu Ohno finished speaking, he was scolded by Yodohime, he felt embarrassed, and suddenly became angry, opened the paper door with a "bang", strode into the tea room, and roared: "Slut, when is it, still pretending to be high with me?" You have to eat today, and you have to eat if you don't! (To be continued.)
