Chapter 239: Snow Falls in Ruojiang City

Nobumori Sakuma heard Sabei's question, shook his head, and got up to remove the white smoke bottle in front of him. Seeing this, the attendants around him immediately stepped forward to the kettle in Sakuma Nobumori's hand, and then took out the rice balls and handed them to Sakuma Nobumori.

Sakuma Nobumori took the rice ball, took a bite hard, and then said to Sabei: "Without Ashikaga Yoshiaki as a bargaining chip, it is not so easy for Miyoshi Yoshitsugu to gather people's hearts to defend the city. ”

After listening to Sakuma Nobumori's words, Sabei looked suddenly enlightened, and said to Sakuma Nobumori: "Now that the Miyoshi family has lost Ashikaga Yoshiaki, they are dispensable to the lord, and I am afraid that the Miyoshi family in Hanoi will drip like this..."

"As long as Miyoshi Yoshitsugu surrenders, maybe the Lord Guild will spare his life." Sakuma Shin finished speaking, took a sip of hot water, and then said to Sabei: "Let's go, since you have escorted the siege equipment here, follow me to fight it!" ”

Before Sabei could respond, Sakuma Nobumori had already pulled out the sword at his waist and led a group of his close servants towards Sannomaru in Wakae Castle. Sabei glanced back at the eager samurai and standing behind him, pulled out the sword at his waist and walked towards Wakae Castle.

After entering Sannomaru in Wakae Castle, Sabei found that almost half of the Miyoshi Ashigaru had already unloaded his body, and Sakuma Nobumori, who breathed a sigh of relief, was also sending his troops to send these surrendered people out of Sannomaru.

Seeing this, Sabei glanced up at the overcast sky, and then looked at Miyoshi Ashigaru on the Ninomaru Tree, at this time Miyoshi Ashigaru was tired of dealing with the ladder that had been brought up, where would he pay attention to the changes in Minomaru. Sabei took a wooden plaque from Fushiwa Akijiro's hand and said to the attendants behind him, "Follow behind Sakuma-sama and protect Sakuma-sama's safety!" ”

As he spoke, Sabei saw that on the wall of Ninomaru, an Oda butterfly flag was erected. Then I heard a shout: "Akashi of the Tsuda family can help Masato Nao for the first time to board Wakae Castle Ninomaru!" After hearing this, Sabei looked at Sakuma Nobumori on the side, and saw a samurai standing next to Nobumori take out a small notebook and record something on it. At the same time, Sabei also reacted, and said to the right Ichisuke beside him: "Right Ichisuke, you should also write it down and keep it for backup!" ”

In fact, Sabei was too worried, and when the Oda butterfly pattern flag fluttered in Wakae Castle Ninomaru, there was already a military eye following the army to record that the samurai under Tsuda Nobusumi were the first to enter the castle. Sakuma Nobumori just left a record and testified to each other with the records of the military soldiers, after all, it was a great achievement, and it was not allowed to be sloppy.

After the samurai of the Tsuda clan landed at the castle, the flood-like Oda army seemed to have found the mouth of the embankment, and for a while they swarmed to kill it. Sabei followed Sakuma Nobumori's side and saw that the overwhelming Oda army had first conquered the Miyoshi army on the castle wall, and then the gate of Ninomaru was smashed open by a smashing wood. Seeing this, Sakuma Nobumori glanced at Sabei on the side, and Sabei knew that if he followed Sakuma Nobumori to fish again, he would be scolded by Sakuma Nobumori.

So Sabei said to the standing reserve who had not been recruited behind him: "Fighting is the fastest way to train you, and it is also the fastest way for you to make meritorious contributions and get promoted and rewarded. With that, Sabei took the naginata handed by Heiji and followed the army to rush into Ninomaru from the gate of Ninomaru.

Ninomaru's defenders resisted for a moment when they suddenly heard someone shouting behind them, "Follow me into the Oda family or avoid the death penalty!" When everyone in the Miyoshi family heard this, they followed the sound and looked back, only to see that the nailed banner behind the formation was cut down. In the panic, the Miyoshi defenders were slaughtered by the Oda army, and Sabei, who was in the Miyoshi army's formation, was drawn to the back of the knee of the Miyoshi samurai in front of him, and the Miyoshi samurai was in pain, and his body was instantly unbalanced, and Sabei stabbed him in the abdomen with a knife, and then kicked him to the ground.

Miyoshi, who was gradually losing his fighting spirit, shouted: "I am willing to surrender!" He lowered his weapon. At this time, Sakuma Nobumori's order also spread to the army fighting in front of Ninomaru, and Tsuda Nobusumi, who had penetrated the deepest, took the lead in accepting the surrender of the Miyoshi army around him, and then Naomasa and Hirata Fanhide and others also began to accept the surrender of the Miyoshi army.

Although the Sabei army was the first to receive the order, it was also the last to stop killing. After announcing his acceptance of surrender, Tsuda Nobusumi did not stop but went directly through the surrendered crowd and killed Honmaru in Wakae Castle. The Miyoshi army of Honmaru watched the defenders of Sannomaru and Ninomaru surrender backwards, and naturally their fighting spirit was also affected to a certain extent.

Yoshitsugu Miyoshi, who was standing on Honmaru's samurai, walked up, looked at the Oda army rushing towards Honmaru, and shouted at the iron artillery team beside him, "Shoot!" In an instant, countless projectiles poured down, making the offensive of Tsuda Nobusumi, who was rushing at the front, stalled. However, Tsuda Nobusumi was on guard after all, and after being damaged by the strength of his subordinates, he immediately put on the wooden card, and then shouted at Honmaru under the protection of the wooden card: "Lord Changyi, if you don't do it yet, Ruojiang City will be yours soon!" ”

After calming the emotions of his subordinates, Miyoshi Yoshitsugu shouted at the besieging Tsuda Nobusumi: "The ministers of the Miyoshi family are all loyal and good, how can you allow villains like you to provoke!" After that, another round of iron cannons rang out.

However, the mantis arm could not be used as a car, although the morale of the Honmaru Miyoshi army rebounded for a period of time in a short period of time, but in the face of the morale of the Oda army, it could only be defeated by the overwhelming momentum of the Oda army. The gloomy sky also snowed quietly when the Oda army broke through the Honmaru. Everyone in the Oda army gasped and struggled to wrestle with the Miyoshi samurai who were still resisting to the death in front of them.

Sabei looked at the snowflakes that fell on the belly roll, and after gently dusting them with his hands, he rushed in with the Oda army that had already attacked Honmaru, and after receiving the news that Miyoshi Yoshitsugu had withdrawn to the castle tower, he threw off the military situation that had been arranged to receive and surrender the Miyoshi army, and ran directly towards the castle tower with his attendants.

When Sabei arrived at the castle tower of Wakae Castle, he saw that the attendants of various famous generals had already gathered outside the castle tower. There were a lot of snowflakes on their bodies, and when they saw that Sabei was also coming with his attendants, they stepped forward and bowed their heads to Sabei and said, "Lord Mingwei, Miyoshi Yoshitsugu has already cut his stomach!" ”

When Sabei heard the news, he nodded, then exhaled a breath of heat and said to the people in front of him, "How many adults are in the castle tower?" After seeing the attendants nodding, he said to Heiji behind him, "Come in with me." After that, he said to the right one, "Right one, you and everyone stay." The attendants also made way for Sabei to make way for him, and Sabei went into the castle tower with Heiji, who was carrying a sword behind him.

Sabei, who entered the castle tower, looked at the corpses in one place and basically guessed how many samurai loyal to Miyoshi Yoshitsugu had shed their blood for him before he died. Sabei climbed one floor after another, and finally on the fourth floor of the castle tower, he saw Miyoshi Yoshitsugu, who had fallen in the pile of corpses.
