Chapter 113: The Mill of Kita-Omi (6)
Isono was caught off guard by the sudden move of the Burning Sky, and the left leg of the Burning Sky kicked shook and he fell to one knee on the ground. In an instant, three more knives stabbed at Isano's back, and Isono had no time to swing the knife, so he had to roll on the spot to avoid the stab from behind. Burning the air took advantage of the momentum to press on, and when Isono had just rolled up, he stabbed the ribs in his hand into Isono's left arm.
Although there were already many gaps in the blade of the ribs, under the hard blow of the burning air, he still pierced Isono's left forearm. Isono Yuanchang, who was in pain, kicked the burning sky away, held the sword in his right hand, and was about to retreat to the outside of the castle tower. At this time, the burning sky drew the sword, endured the severe pain all over his body, and rushed towards Isono Yuanchang, who was trying to retreat.
The two fought together again, and although Isono General Chang was injured in his right arm, he still stubbornly resisted the attack of the burning sky.
Isono Nobusumi and others, who fought fiercely with the rebel samurai in front of the gate, gradually fell into disadvantage due to physical problems. In addition, some people in the rebels found that Isono was injured, so they fought more fiercely with Isono Nobusumi and others.
Seeing this, the three samurai who had just attacked Isono and failed to attack him, once again raised their swords and rushed towards Isono Membermasa.
The rebel samurai finally broke through the defenses in front of the castle tower and ran towards Isono Minmasa, who was in disadvantage. At this time, the incineration had forced Isono Yuanchang to make it difficult to use the sword in his hand, so after blocking the slash of the incineration, Isono Yuanchang threw the knife in his hand, pulled out the ribs around his waist and fought with the incineration. And the thrown sword was plunged straight into the chest of a samurai who wanted to attack.
At this time, two elite samurai of the rebels also came to Isono's side and guarded Isono Tamama, who was wounded in his left arm. After being forced out of the way by the rebels' elite samurai, Burning Sky slashed at the rebels' elite samurai with his sword, and the rebels' elite samurai were obviously also extraordinary martial artists. While protecting Isono Yuanchang to retreat, the two of them forced back to catch up with the burning sky and others.
Nobusumi Isono in front of the gate watched the samurai who broke into the castle tower and wanted to rescue Isono Hitomasa, so he swung his sword to force away the rebels in front of him and stabbed at the retreating Isano Hitomasa. Although Isono was on guard, the pain in his left arm and the loss of stamina from the high-intensity fight made the famous Omi warrior half a beat slower. Isono Nobusumi's rather tricky stab happened to Isono Yuanchang's abdomen.
After feeling the pain in his abdomen, Isono immediately threw the ribs in his hand at Isono Nobusumi. Nobussumi Isono turned around to dodge the moment the ribs flew in, but he was still stabbed in the left arm. Nobusumi Isono, who was stabbed in the left arm, quickly drew his knife and retreated, and Isono Yuanchang's whole person trembled violently in an instant because Isono Nobu pulled out the knife inserted in his abdomen.
Seeing this, the elite of the rebels who were protecting Isono Yuanchang were about to slash at Isono Nobusumi who was retreating. Taking advantage of the panic of the rebel elite, Burning Sky deceived and cut off the hands of the rebel elite holding the saber. The gushing blood made the blood red of the blood print on the pale cheeks of the burning air, and the burning sky was stunned for a moment, and then gritted his teeth and slashed at the isolated Isono Yuanchang.
Seeing that the Burning Sky was attacking again, Isono Masamasu jumped hard in front of the castle tower gate, knocking down the samurai under the Burning Sky who were still fighting. Burning Sky also continued to drag his body that was about to reach the limit, and rushed towards Isono Yuanchang, who had fallen on his men. The other samurai are now rushing towards the castle tower, intent on pushing the rebels out of the castle tower.
Before he could swing his knife, he felt a pain in his chest, and when he looked down, he saw that there was already a blood mark struggling to crawl on his chest. Taking advantage of the pain of the burning sky, Isono kicked the burning sky away with one kick, and then rushed out of the castle tower with the help of his samurai.
At this moment, suddenly a rebel ran into the city hall from outside the city hall and said to Isono Yuanchang: "Lord, there is a team of troops in the south of the city!" Isono covered his abdomen with his right hand, looked at the samurai supporting him, and whispered to the samurai, "What is the main flag?" After listening to Isono Yuanmasa's words, the samurai asked Ashigaru who was half-kneeling under the castle tower, "Is that the military situation?" ”
Burning Sky and Nobusumi Isono, who were struggling in the castle tower, waved their swords indiscriminately to force back the rebels' attack, while listening to the loud conversation outside. When he heard the words "water-colored bellflower", the whole person breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately shouted with all his strength: "Wise Lord has come to save us!" The words of the burning sky directly suppressed the rebels outside the castle tower, and what followed was panic and fear among the rebels. How could the name of Akechi Mitsuhide not be known in the Omi Yamajo area.
After Burning Sky also shouted these words, the whole person was drained of the last trace of strength in his body, leaning weakly against the wall beside him, his eyes fixed on the remnant door in front of him. Suzuki Heavy Industries on the side was also scarred, leaning against the wall and panting heavily. Nobusumi Isono leaned against the wall and came to the narrow room, looked at the rebels who were gradually retreating outside, turned his head to the burning sky and said, "The Mingsha Gate is over, this night the outside has survived, and the day is dawn!" But how did the wise adults arrive first? ”
Burning Sky looked at Nobusumi Isono, who was already crying with joy, put the sword in his hand into the sheath, and dragged his tired body to the side of Ichisuke You. Right Ichisuke, who was pale and had blood on the corners of his mouth, smiled at Burning Sky, and when he saw Burning Sky pointing upstairs to him, Right Ichisuke stepped forward to support Burning Sky and carried it up to the top floor of the castle tower.
The two unarmored samurai on the top floor, sitting next to Fushiwa Akijiro lying on the ground, holding a saber in their hands, when they heard the movement downstairs, they immediately stepped forward to check, and after seeing Burning Sky and Right Ichisuke, they asked the two excitedly, "My lord, the reinforcements of Lord Akechi are here?" Burning Sky nodded at the two, then walked through the excited two, walked to Fushiwa Akijiro's side, probed Fushiwa Akijiro's snort, and then said to the right Ichisuke: "Help Akijiro down!" ”
A day later, in a village at the foot of Mt. Misato, Koga County, Minami-Omi, a man dressed as a mountain ambush hurried through the not very lively village to the largest courtyard in the village. Everyone in the courtyard was busy fiddling with the clay in their hands, and they didn't mind the people dressed in the mountains who came in. If you were here, you would know that this person was the ninja who pretended to be a pottery merchant in Azuchi Village more than ten months ago.
The man took off his straw sandals and strode into the main house of the courtyard. Under the gaze of the people in the house, he drank a bowl of water, wiped the drops of water from the corners of his mouth, and said to the people who were meditating in the room with a smile: "Big brother, this is better than the burning of Mt. Eiza also has some ability, one person with more than 20 people under his command cooperated with Isono Nobusumi to sneak attack Isano-sama, but according to the Takashima County Yamajo Castle Castle Pavilion, and Isono Nobusumi withstood the attack of Isano-sama with more than 20 people, and finally waited until the reinforcements arrived and rescued himself!" It's not my luck to lose it in his hands in the past! ”
The person sitting quietly in the room looked at his younger brother, pondered for a while, and then said to his younger brother, "Suemon, how about I pass the family's property to someone else?" After listening to his brother's words, Sukeemon got up and said loudly, "Big brother, you're not going to go to Mt. Hiei to burn the sky, are you?" No wonder you've asked me to inquire about him these days! ”
"Sukeemon, are you willing to be a small merchant in the mountains all your life, and every time a samurai comes to recruit peasant soldiers, you will take out your hard-earned money to make up for the exemption money? Your talent was buried at the foot of Sanxiang Mountain after the death of Kotani, are you willing to do it? I don't dare to boast of my great talent, but I dare to boast about arithmetic and bookkeeping, and the Oda family has paid more attention to ability and despised birth, and Mt. Hiei-sama is a monk, and with the talent of Mt. Hiei, I can at least become the lord of a castle in the future..."The man sitting quietly in the room watched Sukeemon spit out the thoughts in his heart with great seriousness.
After hearing this, Sukeemon hesitated for a moment, then sat down and said to his brother: "Big brother, what you said is also true, now is the world of great contention, and the burning of Mt. Hiei is worthy of its title of 'young eagle', since the eldest brother intends to defect to him, I will follow the eldest brother, but the festival between me and him, but how is it good?" ”
After listening to Sukeemon's words, the man got up and said, "This matter is on my Yamashita Shinsuke, and I don't think Hieiyama-sama will mind your previous identity!" ”
