Chapter 786: The Last Nail
Boom! There was an earth-shattering bang, and the smoke of gunpowder exploded in the sky.
"Kill!" A large number of Hosokawa Ashigaru took advantage of the situation to enter the castle, which is Akizuki Castle in the southeastern part of Chikuzen Province.
The city lord Qiu Yue Chongshi stayed in the house alone, dressed in white, with a handful of ribs in front of him, and he was ready to commit suicide by seppuku.
Akizuki Tane is a powerful family under the command of the Ryuzoji family, and it has developed rapidly over the years, not only breaking through Iwaya Castle, but also winning the famous general Takahashi Shaoyun of the Otomo family. He even took advantage of the situation to invade the Fengqian country, and the territory expanded several times, and now there are 360,000 stones.
Since then, the scale of his territory has been close to that of the main family, Ryuzoji Takanobu, and careful thinking has become active. When he learned that Hosokawa Motokatsu was going to fight Takanobu Ryuzoji, he preserved his strength and led to the defeat of Takanobu. Afterwards, I asked to surrender, hoping to get the approval of the Hosokawa family, but I was rejected by Hosokawa Motokatsu, and the reply given was to transfer the seal of Hyuga Country 30,000 stones.
This reply was cut down, and Qiuyue Zhenshi naturally couldn't accept it, so he fought in Qiuyue City, hoping to carry it through the winter and force the Hosokawa army to withdraw.
But he obviously underestimated the strength of the Hosokawa army, or overestimated his own strength, and within three days, the city gate was blown up, and he knew that he could not be spared, so he committed suicide in the room.
Hosokawa Motokatsu rode a BMW "Shower", watched his subordinates enter the city lightly, and said to a samurai next to him with a smile: "How is it?" Are you willing to gamble and lose? ”
"Humph!" The samurai snorted, it turned out to be a woman, and it was clear that she was not a samurai in the Hosokawa system.
"What? Could it be that Tachibana-sama is going to regret it? Hosokawa Motokatsu deliberately looked surprised and exaggerated in tone.
"You don't have to provoke me, the bet is valid, and you will lose in the next wish..."In the end, her face turned a little rosy, and her heart was pounding. Even she herself felt very strange, knowing that she was known as the cold and fierce Tachibana Chiyo, the head of the Tachibana family!
Although it is said that the Kyushu military god and the thunder god Tachibana Michiyuki are still alive, they were passed on to Tachibana Chiyo a few years ago. At that time, Chiyo was only a six or seven-year-old child, so the actual head of the family was still Tachibana Michiyuki.
In the Battle of Otogawa, the Otomo family was defeated, and the people of the country who had originally submitted to the Otomo family in Kitakyushu Chikuzen began to rebel one after another, and Tachibana Michiyuki and Takahashi Shoyun went out of the castle to face the battle. At that time, Chiyo was not idle in the city, although he was only 12 years old, he recruited women and girls in the city to organize a women's iron artillery team to guard.
Now she is a young girl, with a delicate face, a slender figure, and a convex and backward curve, so that Hosokawa Motokatsu, a young man who has just fallen in love, can't take a step at the first sight.
"Your Highness! Now is not the time to talk about this! It's still the war! Suddenly, a childish child's voice came, and his tone was full of dissatisfaction.
"Hehe..."Hosokawa Motokatsu smiled bitterly, he didn't need to look back to know who it was, it was the bed warmer girl doll Kai Ji who was accepted when he destroyed Hojo that year.
At this time, Kai Ji looked at Tachibana Chiyo angrily, and his eyes were unfriendly and scanned back and forth on his body, especially when he saw the other party's tight chest, and then looked down at his own Yima Pingchuan, not to mention how jealous he was.
"What Sister Kai said is that Hosokawa-sama, now should be the leader of the war." Tachibana Chiyo smiled sweetly, how could she not know Kai Ji's careful thoughts, everyone is a woman.
"Humph! Who's your sister! Jia Fei Ji shook her head, pouting her mouth very reluctantly, as soon as the woman in front of her appeared, she hooked the soul of her beloved, she was a rival in love!
"Hehe... Shrewd... When you grow up, you will have the same proud figure as your sister. "Tachibana Chiyo stepped forward and touched Kai Hime's head, in fact, I like this little girl a lot, seeing her stubborn appearance, as if she was herself when she was a child.
"Oops! My hair is messed up! Kai Hime patted Tachibana's hand irritably, she was still young, and she had only grown to the waist of Hosokawa Motokatsu.
"Hosokawa-sama, since you have such a lovely inner room, can you bear to accept it again?" Tachibana Chiyo seems to have thought of a good idea that can break the contract, and immediately uses Kai Hime as a shield. In fact, their bet was that if Hosokawa Motokatsu could conquer Akizuki City within three days, then he would marry him.
But as soon as these words came out, Tachibana Chiyo felt a little lost in her heart, she still admired Hosokawa Motokatsu very much, after all, such an excellent man is rare in the world. actually began to hope that Yuan Sheng would stick to the gambling contract again, and his heart was really contradictory to the extreme.
"Hahaha! Feel relieved! Both of you will be my Hosokawa Motokatsu woman in the future! "Hosokawa Motokatsu is not only in the bowl, but he also eats the pot!
"Really?" Kaihime and Tachibana Chiyo asked happily at the same time, as if they remembered something, and their eyes exchanged glances, and they turned their faces away to show embarrassment.
"Hahaha! I want all the beauties! "Hosokawa Motokatsu said this way of surpassing his father for the first time, there is really a son who has a son.
After the destruction of Akizuki Castle, it was followed by Saga Castle, the last barrier of the Ryuzoji family, and the lord of the castle was the late Ryuzoji Takanobu's son-in-law, Ryuzoji Shoji Governor. Now, with the support of the important minister Naoshige Nabeshima, he has succeeded to the position of the head of the Ryuzoji family.
Nabeshima Naoshige, a man who is loyal and treacherous, he is the son of Nabeshima Kiyofu, the brave general of the Ryuzoji family, and his mother is the daughter of the Ryuzoji family and the son-in-law, Ryuzoji Takanobu and Nabeshima Naoshige are actually cousins.
Although Takanobu and Naoshige are related by blood, Naoshige, as a retainer of Ryuzoji Temple, must be loyal and dutiful to the lord Takanobu. He went to the soup for the sake of Longxin's country in the joint battles, was born and died, and was deeply trusted by Longxin (Longxin is notoriously suspicious), and has always been the number one minister of the Longzoji family, and the best candidate for the post of deputy general in the war.
However, in the Battle of Okita, Nabeshima abandoned the remains of the lord Takanobu and fled back to Hizen alone. And I don't know if he did it intentionally, let the Four Heavenly Kings of Longzao Temple serve as the palace army, and all of them died in battle.
In military tasks, the danger of the palace army is the highest (even higher than that of the spy army), because this is the arduous task of taking an extremely weak defeated army to fight a winning army with a rainbow of momentum, and to ensure the safety of a large army.
After coming to the new head of the family, the dragon temple politician, with his own big bag, gradually set up the lord, if the Hosokawa army does not attack, I am afraid that the dragon temple family will change the surname.
"Damn fellow! It's already winter, why don't you withdraw yet! Bad for me, good thing! Nabeshima Naoshige stood at the head of the city, looking at the Hosokawa army in the snow, and his teeth itched with hatred. I want to talk about "Mortals Through the Law of Survival" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
