Chapter Ninety-Nine: Escape from Inabayama Castle

It was dripping, and there was a light rain in the sky, as if to tell something, and the blood on the ground was no longer distinguishable from the rain.

"Report to the Lord! Ukai Sun Roku was killed! ”

"Kanemaru Shoji is killed!"

"What! Even Kanemaru Shoji also. "As the battle dragged on, the Hosokawa family began to see a large number of samurai killed.

"Kill!" Shimakatsu led thirty samurai to block Ashigaru on the left, and Takikawa led thirty samurai to take charge of the right.

"Defeated the first formation of the Saito Army!" The Hosokawa army, which was struggling, rushed through the streets, Honda Tadakatsu shouted again and again as a pioneer, and the "dragonfly cut" dance in his hand was vigorous, and the "Shinkoku" in the hands of Shigenobu Hayashizaki next to him also attacked again and again like lightning, and the two cooperated seamlessly from far and near.

"Report to the Lord! Michishun Igazaki and Kiyohiro Takuue were both killed! More than half of the ninja army has suffered casualties! "The bad news came again.

Hosokawa Nobumoto only felt that his eyes were black and he staggered.

"My lord! Lord! On the left and right, the fans, Sun Shilang and others hurriedly stepped forward to support their father-in-law.

"Defeated the second formation of the Saito Army!" The good news came from the front in time, like a shot of heart booster, which made Hosokawa Nobumoto feel shocked.

"Quick! Keikan Hita! Lead the horse back to the crowd to give me a quick break through the last formation of the Saito army! After sobering up, Hosokawa Nobumoto no longer hesitated and threw in the last new force in his hands.

"The time has come to be faithful to the Lord! Kill me! "The Divine Empress Zongzhi and the Treasure Courtyard Yinrong followed, and Ma Huizhong launched a decisive charge.

"Ahh Drink! Miyata Mitsuji had already been stabbed several times, and finally lost too much blood, lost his physical strength, and fell on the way to the charge.

"Miyata Mitsuji is killed!"

"Kill!" The ninja army behind the palace has completely submerged in the enemy group, and the hidden weapon in the arms has long been used up, and the ninja army only uses the short ninja knife in their hands to fight with the enemy, desperately blocking the enemy's attack.

"Fight to the death!" Depu Shengqing also fought in the crowd with a knife in his right hand, and a knife wound on his left arm was deep and bone-seeing, and the blood was not stopping.

In his breath, Deura Shengqing looked at the few ninja troops around him, but still no one retreated, and nodded with relief.

Shouted: "Brothers! We ninjas have always been spurned and looked down upon by others, but fortunately, the lord is very kind, not only did he not look down on us. On the contrary, the meritorious person is also promoted to the status of samurai! Remember the slogan of the Games! To whom we are allegiant! ”

"Hosokawa-sama Yamaga!!" The rest of the ninja roared fiercely, as if it was full of injustice in this world.

"Take off your mask! Let's show people who they really are, let them know! Who is the one who killed them! May I die for my confidant! Kill!! Izuura Sheng Qing violently pulled off his mask, and a resolute face appeared in front of everyone.

"Die for your confidant! Kill!! All the ninjas ripped off their masks, revealing their faces that were either thin or slightly fat, handsome or ugly, but everyone's eyes burst out with a cold light of death, both to the enemy and to themselves.

"Kill!" Kaida Keikane led Ma Huizhong to break through the last line of defense, fought a bloody way, and finally came to the gate of Inabayama Castle.

"Go and open the gates!" Tadakatsu Honda, whose face was covered in blood, also led the samurai team to arrive.

"Haha, you're already a turtle in an urn, where do you want to go? Shoot the arrows! "Whoosh, arrows rained down on the city walls, and they shot many of the already exhausted Hosokawa samurai.

"The family is complete!" Hosokawa Nobumoto gritted his teeth and looked at a high-ranking samurai in the city, his heart was dripping blood again, and it vaguely seemed that Shima Katsu Takeshi was also a few arrows, and his life and death were unknown.

"Bow foot light step forward! Ten breaths of shooting! Naito Masanari commanded Bow Ashigaru to step forward and forcibly shoot from the back to cover the samurai team to seize the city gate.

"Maeda's interests are killed!"

Whoosh! Poof! "Ugh!" "Ahh

Hosokawa Bowashigaru was terrained, and there were people around him who were shot by the castle's bow and arrows, and fell silently on the cold ground, never to get up again.

As the minutes and seconds passed, Saito Ashigaru, who had been broken up suddenly, regrouped under the leadership of the samurai and surrounded him.

The original broken ninja army was almost isolated, and Kaida Keikane led Ma Huizhong to take over the duties of the palace army.

"The Divine Queen Soji is dead!"

"Treasure Courtyard Yinrong is killed!"

Crunch crunch! The heavy gate was slowly opened, and Hosokawa Nobumoto was escorted to the outside of the castle, and Yubutashi was overwhelmed by the swarming Saito army due to the exhaustion of his strength.

"Naito Masari is killed!"

"Cover the evacuation of the lord! Fight to the death! "Honda Tadakatsu led the remaining thirty or so samurai to defend the city gate and block the enemy's pursuit.

"Death in battle!" The horses and all the people in the palace gave their lives for the lord!

"Fight to the death!" Hattori Hanzo also led the last three ninja guards to stay, buying more time for Hosokawa Nobumoto, and the two hundred ninja troops in the city were probably already more than lucky.

"Damn! One misstep becomes a thousand hatreds! Years of hard work have been in vain, and the half-guards in Takenaka are ruthless enough! "Hosokawa Nobumoto is very distressed, after this battle, I am afraid that the retainer system of the Hosokawa family will completely collapse.

Hosokawa Nobumoto and his entourage ran to the shore of the Nagara River in one go, and looked at the fact that there was not a single boat on the river, and they felt like they had come to the end.

"Quick! Look for boats to cross the river, and check if the river is fast. Hosokawa Nobumoto hurriedly ordered, as long as he reached the other side, he would be safe.

"My lord! There are no boats to cross the river upstream and downstream! "After approaching Kamihara Yasumasa to investigate, he hurriedly reported, and the original Onimaru was also served.

"My lord! The river is not very turbulent, the water level is not high, and it is possible to cross the river directly. Approaching Oto Zhixuan said wetly, he had just taken a subset.

"Good! River! Ishikawa Goemon! You should quickly inform the army of the family and tell them to evacuate quickly, and make sure that you return to Owari safely. After Hosokawa Nobumoto finished speaking, he shed the golden "Jin Tuo Mei Feet" on his body and began to cross the river.

Yasumasa Kamihara and Tomono Oto pulled up the young fan and Sun Shiro, while Tao Qingxian took the "Muramasa" in the hands of his grandson Tsurujumaru and picked up the young grandson, and Hosokawa Nobumoto and his party of seven began to slowly flow across the river and head to the other side.

Struggling to swim across the Nagara River, Hosokawa Nobumoto and the others were already exhausted, looking back, if there was no shouting of killing, I don't know if everyone survived.

"Let's go back first, staying here will only put them in danger again, I believe they will be fine." As if comforting himself, Hosokawa Nobumoto gave the order to retreat.

Poof!

Hosokawa Nobumoto looked at the blade protruding from his chest in disbelief, "Demon Sword Muramasa!" ”

Then, he collapsed to the ground weakly, and saw Tao Qingxian, who was standing behind him, with a fierce face.

Yasumasa Kamihara and the others roared angrily and pounced on Tao Qingxian, and Tsurumumu on the side cried silently, waiting for death to come.

"Nima! It's Nima! Hosokawa Nobumoto only felt that his life was like finding a breakthrough, and he was venting to his heart's content, and his eyes had begun to gradually blur.

"Who is this? Cher? How did she end up here? "In the haze, it was as if I saw Mochizuki Snow coming from a distance, and the melodious singing filled the whole world.

"Take my love! With you~, straight ~ forever~~"
