Chapter 62: The Fall of the Eagle

The Burning Empty Hand Pressed Tai Knife followed closely behind Oda Nobutada, and looked warily at the Asai samurai around him. Wherever the Burning Sky gaze swept away, the Asai samurai either bowed their heads or angrily pressed their hands to the sword at their waists. Seeing this, Oda Nobutada glanced back at Kinoshita Hideyoshi, who was following behind him, and then said to the Asai envoy who was leading the way: "I wonder where Kotani Hall is now?" ”

After hearing this, the messenger said to Oda Nobutada: "I was rude at the bottom, and I forgot to introduce myself below, and at the bottom is the retainer of the Asai family, and the lord is now drinking in the castle tower, and Mrs. Shishi is drinking, and I ask His Highness Nobutada to follow me to the castle tower quickly!" "Speaking of which, Anyoji Nobuyoshi took Oda Nobutada and his entourage to open a road to the castle tower surrounded by the Asai samurai.

From time to time, everyone came to the castle tower with heavy soldiers, and at this time, Asai Iki walked out from the side, bowed his head to Oda Nobutada and Kinoshita Hideyoshi, and said, "I have seen His Highness Nobutada, Kinoshita-sama." Anyangji Jingshi glanced at Asai Kiri, who bowed his head and greeted Oda Nobutada and Kinoshita Hideyoshi, and said to Asai Iki, "Lord Igui, don't delay the meeting between His Royal Highness Nobutada and the lord!" ”

Hearing this, Asai Gui bowed his head to Oda Nobutada, but accidentally bumped into Kinoshita Hideyoshi as he left. Asai immediately bowed his head and apologized to Kinoshita Hideyoshi, and Kinoshita Hideyoshi just smoothed his carcass and waved his hand at Asai to indicate that it was okay. After such a small episode, Burning Sky finally met Asai Nagamasa, who had been besieged for several days and lacked soldiers, and the eagle of Omi no longer looked like it used to be, just holding a wine bowl and looking at his wife in front of him.

Oda City also looked at Asai Nagamasa with a wine bowl, and the two of them didn't know what they muttered, and then drank all the wine in the wine bowl.

Oda Nobutada looked at the couple in front of him, as well as Asai Nagamasa's eldest son and his three younger sisters. Before he could say anything, he heard Asai Nagamasa say: "I don't know how many families will be broken apart by the sword of the troubled times." After that, Asai Nagamasa said to Oda Nobutada: "Nobutaka, Ashi and Chacha will be handed over to you, and Manjumaru will follow you, I hope my brother can spare Manjumaru's life." ”

Oda Nobutada is also a smart person, and after listening to Asai Nagamasa's words, he said to Asai Nagamasa: "I know, retire!" At this time, Anyoji Temple, who was on duty outside the gate, stepped forward to stop Oda Nobutada and the others and said, "Why did His Highness Nobutada take away the city lady, the young lord, and the princess?" ”

After saying that, he pulled out the knife at his waist, held the knife in his hand, and stared at the people who were also out of the sheath. Kinoshita Hideyoshi, who saw that the situation was not good, suddenly came out from the side and said to the Anyangji Temple: "Kotani Hall has already negotiated peace with the family, if the city lady and the princesses, including Manjumaru-sama, are taken hostage, the family will not be embarrassed to surrender the samurai in the city!" After listening to Kinoshita Hideyoshi's words, Anyoji Nobuyo looked at Oda City, where tears were shining in the corners of his eyes, and he put away his sword and walked into the castle tower.

The people in the castle tower saw the aura-filled Anyangji Temple coming in and dodged to the side. At this time, Asai Nagamasa, who was on the top, got up and said, "It's useless to talk too much, prepare to surrender to the Oda army!" Anyangji Jingyo looked at the lord in front of him, who was no longer sharp, and slowly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Asai Nagamasa to thank him, and slowly left the castle tower. Seeing this, the remnants of the castle tower withdrew from the castle tower and prepared to surrender to the Oda army.

Without the obstruction of the Anyoji Classics, Oda Nobutada and his entourage quickly withdrew from the Otani Castle Honmaru occupied by the Asai family and returned to the Otani Castle Nimaru occupied by the Oda Army. While still wondering if it was the destruction of the Asai family that changed history, Oda Nobunaga rushed out of the main camp and conveyed the order to attack Kotani Castle Honmaru to the Oda army of Nimaru and Sanmaru.

When Oda Nobutada, Burning Sky and the others were still stunned, they saw that Kinoshita Hideyoshi had already drawn his sword and commanded his samurai to rush towards the side gate of Kotani Castle Honmaru. As if he had known the result for a long time, Oda City turned his back to Kotani Castle Honmaru, held the four children in his arms with his hands, and said softly: "Although the snowflakes are beautiful, they are difficult to stay for a long time, just like the time is wonderful but only the aftertaste remains." ”

Oda Nobutada obviously didn't expect his father's hand, looked at the sound of the fight, bowed his head to his aunt and said, "I deceived you!" ”

After hearing this, Oda City said with tears in his eyes: "I don't blame you, nor do I blame my brother, as Lord Nagamasa said: 'I don't know how many families will be broken apart by the sword of troubled times!'" 'I hope that my brother and Kankuro can calm the world as soon as possible. Seeing this, Oda Nobutada immediately signaled Burning Sky and the others to follow the guards, and he followed behind the group, with the sword on his waist and the curls on his body making a crisp impact sound, which was particularly loud under the burning Kotani Castle.

Kinoshita Hideyoshi, under the guidance of Asai Gui, led his elite samurai to break through the side gate of Otani Castle Honmaru, and cooperated with the army attacking the main gate to kill the only remaining samurai and ashigaru in Asai. The Asai family's Lian Zhi people, who thought that they would be safe if they surrendered, were killed by Kinoshita Hideyoshi and others in a sudden manner. Kinoshita Hideyoshi watched as a head with one of them was captured by himself, and at the same time commanded the army to attack the castle tower.

But when Kinoshita Hideyoshi arrived at the castle tower, it was already engulfed in flames, and the head of the Asai Tadashi Anyoji Nobuyo was picked up by the samurai under Asai Kiri's samurai. Kinoshita Hideyoshi looked at the raging flames in the castle tower and said to Asai Uigui, "Congratulations to Lord Iki, not only will you get the lord's new security block, but the reward is also indispensable." ”

After hearing this, Asai Iri glanced at the head of the Anyang Temple Sutra on the tip of the gun under his hand, and said to Kinoshita Hideyoshi: "This Anyang Temple Sutra usually boasts that ten people can't get close, and it's not the result of me stabbing him in the back!" Uh-huh (two tones)! Hahaha..."

Burning Sky and the others escorted Oda City back to Oda Nobunaga's main camp, and the mother clothes on duty outside the door immediately knelt down and saluted Oda City when they saw this. Oda Nobunaga, who was in this formation, saw Oda City coming back with four small burdens, and he stepped forward with some excitement to help Oda City, who was saluting him, and said to Oda City: "Ah, you are finally back again!" ”

Naturally, Burning Sky and the others had no right to enter the main camp, so several people stayed outside after Oda Nobutada also entered the main camp, waiting for Oda Nobutada's call. In a short time, Oda City walked out of the main camp with his four children, and under the service of several women, he sat in a palanquin that seemed very small in the sky, and headed away from Kotani Castle. And Oda Nobutada walked out of Oda Nobunaga's main camp with a bitter face after leaving Oda City.
