Chapter 489: The Clans Assemble

Woo... Woo... The sound of conch sounds in Kyoto, and it spreads in all directions at night.

The townspeople in Kyoto, as well as the royal family and nobles, were awakened by the rapid sound. One by one, they were so frightened that they closed their doors tightly, panicking, for fear of encountering the disaster of the "Yingren Rebellion" again.

The Onin War was a battle between the shogunate Ashikaga Yoshimasa and the shogunate Hosokawa Katsumoto and Yamana Mochitoyo and other guardian daimyo during the reign of the Yashiro shogun. From 1467 to 1478, the war lasted for 11 years, and the main battlefield was always in Kyoto, and the peasants hired by both sides burned Kyoto back and forth for 11 years.

At the beginning, the design of Heiankyo (Heiankyo is the ancient name of Kyoto in Japan) can be said to be almost completely modeled after the Chang'an Castle of the Sui and Tang dynasties, including the Imperial Castle (Japanese: Ouchiri), Suzaku Street (Japanese: Suzaku Taiji), Toshishi, and the Ribo system. As a result, due to the war, the whole of Kyoto collapsed from wealth and luxury to a chaotic city, and the peasants and soldiers could rob property and beauties at will, and even set a fire to the imperial city, almost letting the emperor return to heaven.

"Quick! Fast! Gather! Gather! Akechi Mitsutada shouted loudly, and Kyoto Bei quickly assembled under his leadership.

"Drive! Drive! "Stomp! Stompe! Several fast horses galloped out of Nijo Castle and scattered in the direction of Kaimachi and various places along the coast.

"Your Highness... Is it so urgent? "Oda Inu was helping Hosokawa Nobumoto put on his armor, but I didn't expect a short meeting... And parting again.

"Rest assured... Will be back soon this time. After Hosokawa Nobumoto finished dressing, he turned around and picked up the "Ghost Pill" on the knife holder, and walked out.

"Onimaru" is the work of Awata Kunisuna, a swordsmith of the Awataguchi school in Kyoto and the last of the six brothers of the Awataguchi family. This knife has a blade length of 78.8cm and a reverse of 5.2cm, and the inscription of the knife is "National Guidelines".

The origin of the name "Onimaru" is because the first ruler of the Kamakura shogunate, Hojo Tokimasa, was often tormented by ghosts that appeared in dreams, and although he invited an onmyoji to do things, it had no effect.

One night, an elderly man appeared in his dream, claiming to be "Taitoshi Kunitsuna" and saying, "I can't pull it out of my rusty sheath because I have been held by a dirty person, so if Hojo-sama wants to punish the youkai sooner, please wipe the rust off my body."

Hojo Tokimasa then understood and wiped off the sword known as the national platform. At that time, the brazier had the shape of a ghost made of silver, similar to the ghost that appeared in his dream. Kunisuna, who was standing next to him, suddenly collapsed into the brazier and cut off the head of the ghost-shaped platform.

Since then, the imps who harass Hojo's current politics have ceased to appear. Since then, Tokimasa Hojo named the knife "Onimaru", which became the heirloom of the Hojo clan.

Later, the Kamakura shogunate perished, and the Hojo family and the Kamakura shogunate perished, and the sword fell into the hands of Nitta Yoshisada. Soon after, it was acquired by the Ashikaga family, who established the Muromachi shogunate, and became their family heirloom, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki gave it to Oda Nobunaga. After Nobunaga's death, Hosokawa Nobumoto inherited all of his collections, including this "Onimaru".

"Your Highness!" Oda suddenly called Hosokawa Nobumoto at the door.

"Huh? What's wrong? Hosokawa Nobumoto stood still and looked back.

"You... You forgot... Take... This..."Oda Inu twisted and took out a delicate knife, which was the talisman that Mochizuki gave to Hosokawa Nobumoto. Although there was some jealousy in his heart, he still thought of it for him.

"Oops, I almost forgot this, thank you, third sister." Hosokawa Nobumoto took the knife and kissed the Oda dog to soothe the little loss in her heart.

"Your Highness, I wish you good luck and prosperity! Triumphant return! Oda gently stroked Hosokawa Nobumoto's face, as if to freeze time at this moment.

"Wait for my good news." Nobumoto Hosokawa smiled slightly, turned to leave, and disappeared into the night.

Stompe... Stompe... In the barracks, the standing army stood in a neat line, waiting for orders from their superiors. Hosokawa Nobumoto led the people who were close to him and the people with small surnames to the front of the army.

"Enlightened Lord! Wind Riding Camp is complete! "Honda Tadakatsu was the first to come and report.

"Enlightened Lord! The Fire Feather Camp is also assembled! He was followed by Naito Masari.

The samurai team has not yet been formed and is still being recruited, so Hosokawa Nobumoto's direct bodyguards are served by the Wind Cavalry Battalion and the Fire Feather Battalion.

"Enlightened Lord! Kyoto is ready to assemble! Akechi Mitsutada also rushed to report, and at this point, all the troops in the area around Kyoto had arrived.

"Where is Sakamoto Bei?" Hosokawa Nobumoto turned back to Honda Masanobu and said that his station was 17 kilometers northwest of Kyoto.

"It's going to take another two hours." Honda Masanobu estimated that the heralds had just arrived at Mt. Hiei Sakamoto.

"Well, let's go first, let them speed up! Go directly to Kaimachi to meet! Hosokawa Nobumoto turned over on his horse, took the reins, and "Hurricane" sneezed happily and began to start.

Stampede! Stampede! Stampede! The wind riding camp is at the head, and behind the fire feather camp hall, Kyoto Beigong guards Hosokawa Nobumoto and marches towards Kaimachi.

"My lord! His Majesty Matsunaga Xiu led an army of 3,000! Come to war! "His Majesty Sanhao Yiji led an army of 3,000! Come to war! Halfway through, the army of Matsunaga Shu and Yoshitsugu Miyoshi was already waiting on the side of the road.

"The whole army rests in place!" Hosokawa Nobumoto saw the camp that had been set up and immediately walked in.

"Oh!" The Hosokawa army also rushed in, and they had been walking for three hours, and the sky was already clouded by this time.

"This way! Come and line up to lead the rations! "The camp has already prepared marching rice balls for the army to rest.

"My lord, your lunch." Matsunaga Shu handed over a box of food, which was specially prepared for Hosokawa Nobugen.

"Well, very well, after the whole army rests for an hour, continue on the road. During this time, Yahachiro conveyed to you the plan for this battle. Hosokawa Nobumoto sat on the marching horse, picked up a piece of salmon with chopsticks, and swallowed it in one gulp.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please take a look." Honda Masanbu unfolded a map on the side and began to explain the details of the battle to the commanders of each reserve and the daimyo of each domain.

Soon, an hour later, the army set out again and rushed to Kaimachi, where the Hosokawa naval army had also assembled and stood by.

"My lord! His Majesty Ikeda Hengxing led an army of 2,000! Come to war! Passing by Ishiyama Honganjo Castle, Ikeda's army joined the ranks.

"My lord! His Majesty Sanada Masayuki! Led Sakamoto to arrive! Seeing that he was about to arrive at Kaimachi, Sanada Masayuki finally arrived.

"Excellent! Come on! Rest after boarding! "Although Hosokawa Nobumoto knew that they were tired from marching in a hurry, but now that they were about to arrive, they would simply reach the finish line in one go.

"Yes! Your Majesty Commanded! Sanada Masayuki did not hesitate to take the order.

The Hosokawa army marched into Kaimachi. Still struggling with the latest chapter you can't find? Amway One or search for Hot/Degree/Net/Article "Remember to remove "/"Otherwise you won't be able to search", here is a young lady to help you find books and accompany you to chat!
