"Attack!"

Boom! Boom! Bang bang! The deafening explosions occurred frequently, and the city on the shore was splashed with flying stones.

"Damn! Yes! My city! Oh my darling! "Honganji is like a heartache, and his own Ishiyama Honganji is being rattled by the ironclad ship of the Hosokawa family. This is a treasure temple with a long history, and occasionally a few cannonballs whistle over the city wall and hit the roof tiles of the temple, and suddenly sawdust is scattered, making a burst of wailing sounds.

"Hosokawa-sama, let's not go to the meeting and attack the city here, is it appropriate?" Ikeda looked at the bombarded castle and wondered why Hosokawa Nobumoto had to start another battle at this time.

"Of course, if Ikeda-sama doesn't want Ishiyama Honganji anymore, then Ishiyama will withdraw immediately." Hosokawa Nobumoto said lazily, as if he was about to order the withdrawal of troops in the next moment.

"Don't, don't. When I didn't say it, when I didn't say it. Ikeda Hengxing hurriedly waved his hand again and again, just kidding! If you don't eat, you're a fool.

"Hehe... Then Ikeda-sama should not be polite. As for the Cheongju Conference? I don't want to go, and I don't want to see that group of people in the open and in the dark. "Hosokawa Nobumoto knows that it's a waste of time to go, so why don't you just light a fire and watch them perform to their heart's content.

"When is the siege going then?" Ikeda Hengxing also figured it out, it was better to eat meat with Hosokawa Nobugen than to follow those people to talk nonsense.

"What city?" Nobumoto Hosokawa looked at Ikeda Tsuneko with a smile.

"Uhhhh

"Hahaha! Look at you, tease you, I can call you Hengxing, right? You can also call me Rokuro. Hosokawa Nobumoto laughed, and the half-joking tone made the relationship between the two sides not seem so rusty.

"Of course, Rokuro." Ikeda Hengxing also took the donkey off the slope, and from then on he firmly sided with Hosokawa Nobumoto, and this stone mountain Honganji Temple was a great gift.

"Don't be in a hurry to attack the city first, bombard him for three days and three nights. You say, why does Honganji Temple love to build castles and temples by the sea? That's true on Long Island, and it's true here. Hosokawa Nobumoto asked a very philosophical question, in his thoughts, since he dared to build a city by the sea, there must be a coastal defense project to defend against the invasion of foreign enemies at sea.

"It's... It is estimated that when they first built the city, they also considered that the fortified city surrounded by the sea was easy to defend and difficult to attack, right? Who would have thought that in the future there would be such a sharp navy? Ikeda Tsuneko scratched his head and told the truth, and it was this sentence that woke up Hosokawa Nobumoto: yes, that's really the reason. It's like in the future, who would have thought that there would be planes that strike from the air?

"Someone! Hit me hard! Don't patronize those useless broken walls, raise the angle of fire for me, and blast me into the city! I want to hear the sound of the wooden house collapsing! I want to hear the sound of the Bronze Buddha smashing! Hosokawa Nobumoto smiled evilly, he wanted to let Xianru listen to the roaring cannon every night, hide in the corner and tremble, so that he would not dare to fight himself again for the rest of his life.

Boom! Boom! Thundered! Click, click!

"Uh... Uh..."It was as if hiding in a corner, shivering with his head covered by a quilt, and this difficult day had lasted for three days. Whenever night falls, it's always the scariest time.

The night before, a cannonball landed in the room next to him, and instantly smashed the concubine next door into a pulp. Last night, Xianru changed to the innermost room, but when he woke up the next morning, he found a cannonball in the courtyard. Since then he has been unable to sleep at night, and he has been able to enter from such a long distance, and there is no safe place in this city.

Hosokawa Nobumoto's bombardment of Honganji Temple has become a household name for the entire Oda family, but no one said anything because it was originally a hostile force. On the contrary, each family began to think about how to strengthen itself and how to annex the weak forces around it.

Hideyoshi Hashiba began to win over Mino; Takigawa Kazuyi and Oda Nobutaka launched a crusade against Kitada Gukyo in Minami Ise; Lin Xiuzhen and Sakuma Nobumori are still trapped in Owari and do not want to forge ahead; Shibata Katsuie is probably because he hasn't gotten Oda City like in history, and he has less wind in his ears to kill Hashiba Hideyoshi all the time, so even if he is dissatisfied with Hideyoshi, he can still maintain a certain amount of restraint, and now his goal has turned to Kaga Province.

"Surrender... Surrender..."It was obvious that his eye sockets were deeply sunken, and the half-month-long bombardment had made him lose all his fighting spirit.

"Father! Don't bend your knees! With the protection of my Buddha, we will all be safe! Besides, Lai Long has already gone out to gather believers, and there will be reinforcements soon! "The newly adult Honganji Kyoru protested loudly, he was the eldest son of Xianru, the heir of the future head of Honganji, and for his own considerations, he naturally did not want the era of Honganji to end.

"But... But..."It is obvious that it has been defeated, and it has long lost the mentality of looking at the mountains and small mountains before.

"Master! The Dharma Master is not good! That bastard of Yoryu Shimoma actually surrendered to the Ikeda family! I'm still out there to persuade you to surrender! It's causing people to panic, Dharma Master, think of a way! A monk stumbled in, and the bad news overwhelmed the last straw in Xianru's heart.

It turned out that Rylong Shimoma, who was ordered to go out and launch a fight, soon noticed that it was different. In the past, as long as he instigated a little, a large number of people would participate, but now, no matter how much he incited, this group of people is indifferent. Even in the end, there were still people who wanted to capture him, if it weren't for his strong martial arts, I am afraid that he would have died tragically on the streets. At this time, Shimoma Yoiryu also saw the situation clearly, since the last defeat, the believers no longer believe in their bullshit theories, the glory of the Honganji Honjo sect has passed, and the defeat of Xianru is doomed, so he simply demoted Ikeda Hengxing.

With a creak, the heavy Honganji gate was opened, and the group came out dejectedly to greet their new lord: Ikeda Tsuneko.

Shinru's request for surrender was agreed to by Hosokawa Nobumoto, but as a condition for surrender: first, he demanded the surrender of Ishiyama Honganji, which was a great gift to Ikeda Tsuneko; The second is the banishment of the hard-liners who are stubborn, which is to re-divide the forces of Honganji; The third is to move the main mountain of Honganji Temple to Hanayacho, Shimogyo Ward, Kyoto City, which is to place it under his nose for easy monitoring.

Xianru agreed to all these requests, and for this reason, he did not hesitate to sever the father-son relationship with Kyoru, and forced him to go to Lumori in Kii Province to start living in seclusion.

The rebellion of Koyasan in Kii Province had already been put down by Tayama Takamasa, and the two counties of Naga and Ito were also given to Tayama Takamasa as promised. Therefore, if Jiaoru went to Kii to live in seclusion, he was actually placed under house arrest and cut off from the outside world. The reason why he spared his life was because Hosokawa Nobuyuan saw the face of his mother (Hosokawa Harumoto's adopted daughter) and his own sister-in-law.

"Ikeda-sama, why isn't Ukyo-sama here?" Xianru looked behind Ikeda Hengxing, but it was strange that he didn't see Hosokawa Nobumoto's figure.

"Humph! Don't ask what you shouldn't! You should also pack up and go to Kyoto to eat fast and pray for Buddha! Ikeda reprimanded unceremoniously.

"Yes, yes, the poor monk understands, the poor monk will go to prepare, this will go." The Dharma Master, who used to be high in the sky, is now humble like a dog, lying on the ground and prostrating his head repeatedly.

At this time, Hosokawa Nobumoto had already hidden from the world and went to places that no one expected.
