241-242 Exterminating the Extremity (3 & 4)
241
The fall of the Washiyama Dojo is a foregone conclusion.
"Ah Yong!"
"The little ones are here! What do you command?! β
"I'm going to chase that one-eyed dragon just now, you stay here and clean up the mess for me, can you do it?!"
"No problem at all! I can settle here, sir, you can go with confidence! β
What do you mean by "go with confidence"? I'm not dead yet!
Isamu Kondo spread the encirclement, increasing the space for the stragglers to move in order to create a more lonely situation, and then kept shouting and breaking each one.
When the group of dragons was leaderless, and then saw that the opponent's strength was far stronger than their own, the fighting spirit was completely lost, so they all dropped their weapons and surrendered.
Later, those who went out of the city to surrender held their heads to show that they had completely surrendered to the imperial army, oh no, the crusading army.
Isamu Kondo shouted:
"No matter what hateful things you did before, as long as you change your mind and become a new person in the future, we will never embarrass you."
Won't embarrass us? Does it mean that we can live without punishment and live with peace of mind?
Are you sure? That's great...... I give up! I give up!
After hearing that the surrender had no side effects, the Saga people became more cooperative, and they all followed the instructions and arranged to enter the unburned Zuocheng.
"You are free, my lord doesn't want to make you too sad, he said that you can go down the mountain and find a job to live an ordinary life, okay, you can go!"
"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!
The Saga people, who were easily spared and regained as free people, were moved to tears.
They wanted to thank me, but they didn't know who I was, so they learned from Isamu Kondo to call me "Master".
Kondo knew that he had captured this city, but there were not many men and horses guarding it, and there was no other way than to influence this group of people, but there were still heavy enemies waiting to fight in Kongoji Castle on the other side of the mountain, and he couldn't stay here to waste money.
What's more, the crusading army still has an empty city, and it is not as meaningful to defend it here as it is to defend the old home.
So he gathered his men and took away all the weapons of the Zaga people.
In this case, even if they want to rebel and have a "second revolution", there is no way to achieve it, and the crusading army can easily destroy them.
When the crusade against the soldiers and horses left, the people of Zaga were confused.
Can you still move freely when you encounter surrender for the first time?
They seemed unaccustomed to it, and although it had been suggested to rearm the city, they had lost all confidence in the sight of the Eagle-Knight's terrifying ghostly appearance and the two smoking cities on the other side.
I thought it was better not to mess with bad ideas, lest the army turn back and even lose my life.
Although their lives were spared, this group of people was a little overwhelmed.
If you are used to being a bandit, where should you go in the future?
The people here survived.
However, the Saga party members who fled with the one-eyed general were not so lucky.
Under the hasty escape, everyone was already cold-hearted, and they didn't know what to do, so they could only let the crowd rush and gallop, and take them to unknown places.
The enemy is too fierce, we are not opponents at all, where should we go now?
The one-eyed general, that is, the Taoist Sun Yi, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, constantly released and fled to the city of King Kong Temple, where the leader army is, everything will change, after all, the crusading army is just a temporary fluke, which of them are the opponents of the Zaga people!
Under the six gods and no masters, the gang had to take the lead of the one-eyed general.
Are you sure? The leader is there, and we are saved!
Even in the midst of his groundless lies, hope and fighting spirit were rekindled.
They ran for seven or eight miles at great speed, and there was a black ghost forest in front of them, and the one-eyed general was deeply afraid of being ambushed, so he immediately made a decision and went around the hillside on the left, wanting to cross the ridge.
Hey? What is this...... Yes! It's the enemy! Run away, everyone!
Where do you know that when you climb halfway, you suddenly see 10,000 heads drilling at the top.
He screamed badly, there were ambushes.
Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly heard a roar from above, and the giant trees and rolling stones collapsed and cracked down.
The scope is so wide and there are so many boulders that it has forced this group of frightened birds to turn into gall-breaking rats and run around in all directions, or people turn on their backs, or the boulders press on the top.
All of a sudden, the screams were repeated, and most of the people were inevitably crushed by the huge stones.
However, there are still several people who are more athletic, as agile as monkeys, they jump up and down left and right, and after a lot of tossing, sweating profusely and panting, they finally escaped.
But they're in the minority, after allβnot everybody has been in the circus.
After such a toss, the more than 100 people who originally fled with Taoist Sun Yi are now only one or twenty people left.
Even these "lone seedlings" who are immortal are now scattered one by one.
When they saw the road, they dared to flee for their lives.
Damn it! These guys can't do anything!
Seeing this, the one-eyed general shouted:
"Those who escape from the battle will be killed! β¦β¦ Fast forward to the Grove, where the leader is already answering! β
In fact, there was no way to escape, and the pursuers continued to chase behind, and the left hillside killed the enemy again.
A group of gut-breaking rats can only follow the one-eyed general to flee for their lives.
At this time, I watched all this coldly from the top of the mountain.
"Lord, I'm here."
"Oh, it's a big river, how's it going? Have you done everything that has been handed over to you? β
Ryuzaki Taiga's face didn't look bad at all.
People who go to war for the first time are just like this, and the corpses of dead people are really disgusting!
"It's all done, that has been tied up by me and the eldest lady, you can punish him at any time, lord."
"Well done...... By the way, what about the Ten Guards? β
"The eldest lady has gone down to rest."
"Rest? β¦β¦β
I remembered what this chick looked like before the war, and I felt a little funny.
"Lord, what are you laughing at?"
"It's nothing, I just think it's incredible, haha, it turns out that Shibei also knows that she's tired, I thought she had unlimited physical strength......"
"No, my lord, you misunderstood, the eldest lady didn't leave because she was tired."
"Huh? What's going on? Don't...... Ten Guards were injured? β
"No, who can hurt the eldest lady, she killed too many enemies, her hands were stained with too much blood, and she was slippery and greasy, so she couldn't hold the knife tightly, so she simply ended up......"
"Stop! Question, with so many people's blood on his hands, how many people did the Ten Guards kill? β
"I haven't counted it in detail, but I heard her say that there are more than thirty people...... Hey, what's wrong with you, my lord? It looks as bad as I am. β
"Don't compare me to you...... This guy from Ten Guards is definitely not a normal person...... Walk! Let's go down the mountain and pursue the enemy. β
Dahe glanced at the situation down the mountain and asked:
"My lord, now that the enemy has lost his fighting spirit, why don't we just shout loudly to make them surrender? This can reduce a lot of unnecessary casualties? β
"Fool! If this is done, won't there be nothing to do on Hosokawa-sama's side? You can't let him be too idle, or he'll come back with me endlessly. β
"Shuffle!" β¦β¦
I chased after him quite urgently, and I was already ahead of Mori Shinsuke, and asked him to change his course and rush to the place where Hosokawa Tadashi was, so as to prevent the Lord Saga from attacking the back of my unreliable righteous brother
After receiving the Destiny Destiny Order, Mori Shinsuke changed the path and left.
The one-eyed general unexpectedly walked out of the forest without being ambushed.
It's not that he's lucky, it's that I deliberately let him go.
It's finally safe...... Wait a minute! Wrong!
Taoist Sun Yi suddenly thought that there was an even more terrifying level in the three miles of this place -- Ligui Gorge.
Finished! If there's an enemy in ambush, it's all over!
However, the pursuers behind him were even more fierce, and he had no choice at all, so he secretly decided in his heart:
Go TMD! I don't care anymore! Now that the Zaga crowd is all over, this group of people is also a burden to follow him, but if he wants to escape safely, he has to use them as cannon fodder!
Thinking of this, he immediately shouted:
"Brethren, do not panic! Our army is guarding the Ghost Gorge! Quick, get over there, and everything will change! β
Under such a lie, the disciples of Saga can't help but regain hope.
With the previous events, they also had doubts about the words of the Taoist Sun Yi, but the current situation made them have to believe his words.
There is no life to follow the general to rush to the past, how do they know that the general has betrayed themselves and led people to the road of death!
"Dare to love and want to fight hard?"
I had sensed that the enemy was about to fight the trapped beasts, and I fired a long arrow into the air, and when I reached the highest point, I suddenly burst into flames to inform my brother that the battle had come.
That Hosokawa Zhongxing was lying in ambush on the top of the Devil Gorge, and he heard a dull thunder, and he already felt that he was about to start fighting, and at this time he saw the signal of the righteous brother.
"Ahh
Fortunately, Kojiro Sasaki asked him to steady:
"The young master is just captured, there is no need to fight, the situation is not dangerous! Don't prepare too much. β
In fact, for a master like you, I have long been speechless,
Hosokawa Tadashi's reassurance of Mr. Sasaki was also readily accepted, so as not to lose the wind of the master, and immediately ordered his subordinates to prepare stones and smash them when they saw people.
In less than half a moment, the sound of hooves thundered like thunder, and although it was dark at night, it was still possible to see a piece of dust flying under the mountain gorge, and ant-like people and horses rushed over.
Hosokawa Tadashi called out, his forehead couldn't help sweating, and when the enemy army entered the predetermined position, he didn't give the order to attack, and first a few large rocks rolled down.
The collapse of the mountain and the cracking of the ground have already frightened the brothers of Saga, not that there is an army of its own on this mountain, how can it become an enemy army at this time?
"Rush quickly, rush through and live!"
The One-Eyed General ignored his men and rushed forward with his mount, but the falling rocks kept alarming the horses and pushed him back.
Hosokawa Tadashi saw that the blockade was successful, and shouted loudly:
"Surrender and spare you from dying!"
The boulder has stopped, and it has been turned into pebbles and thrown down, hoping to get the other party to abandon their weapons and surrender. It's going to make a difference! β
Under such deception, the disciples of Saga couldn't help but regain hope, and they didn't have the life to follow the general to rush over, how did they know that the general had betrayed themselves and led people to the road of death!
"Dare to love or want to be tough?"
I had sensed that the enemy was about to fight the trapped beasts, and I fired a long arrow into the air, and when I reached the highest point, I suddenly burst into flames to inform my brother that the battle had come.
That Hosokawa Zhongxing was lying in ambush on the top of the Devil Gorge, and he heard a dull thunder, and he already felt that he was about to start fighting, and at this time he saw the signal of the righteous brother.
"Ahh
Fortunately, Kojiro Sasaki asked him to steady:
"The young master is just captured, there is no need to fight, the situation is not dangerous! Don't prepare too much. β
In fact, for a master like you, I have long been speechless,
Hosokawa Tadashi's reassurance of Mr. Sasaki was naturally readily accepted.
He already trusted Kojiro Sasaki very much.
In order to avoid losing his master, he immediately ordered his subordinates to prepare stones and smash them when he saw anyone.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the sound of enemy footsteps roared like thunder.
Although it was dark at night, it was still possible to see a dusty mountain gorge, and dozens of people rushed over like ants.
Hosokawa Tadashi called out, and his forehead couldn't help sweating--just come on, these guys are really on time.
When the enemy army entered the predetermined position, he did not give the order to attack, and first a few large rocks rolled down.
The landslide and the cracking of the ground had already terrified the Sakaga brothers.
"Didn't the general say that there is his own army in ambush here, how can it become an enemy army at this time?"
"Have our men already defeated them?"
"Rush quickly, rush through and live!"
The one-eyed general didn't care about his men and hurriedly rushed forward, but the falling rocks kept forcing him back.
Hosokawa Tadashi saw that the blockade was successful, and shouted loudly:
"Surrender and spare you from dying!"
The boulder has stopped, and it has been turned into pebbles and thrown down, hoping to get the other party to abandon their weapons and surrender.
242
Later, I had rushed to the mouth of the gorge, and it was blocked by airtight wind.
I also shouted:
"Don't resist anymore, the Imperial Army treats prisoners preferentially...... Yes! Wrong...... In short, the battle of the trapped beasts is useless, so you better surrender as soon as possible! β
Ryuzaki Ogawa belly slandered:
"Where is this persuasion, the enemy will only fight harder when he hears this, it hurts people's self-esteem too much......"
Sure enough, the guys didn't have the slightest intention of surrendering.
The one-eyed general suddenly shouted:
"Don't panic, everyone! It's okay! Small stones can't kill people, hurry up, the leader is coming! β
He took the lead, dodged several stones in a row, and rushed to the exit.
As soon as he passed the level, several of his subordinates couldn't help but raise hope and rushed over, and sure enough, it was okay, and a large number of people rushed to the level.
Oops! I really let these turtle grandsons run out!
Seeing this, Hosokawa Tadashi hurriedly ordered:
"Take a detour to block the exit!"
Unable to watch the play so leisurely anymore, he rushed down with a katana.
The samurai he led were also well-trained, and more than 100 of them were intercepted.
Because of the detour, it is always slower than a straight line.
The one-eyed general actually broke through the gorge.
Hahahaha! Lao Tzu finally came back to life!!
The feeling of being reincarnated made him crazy, and he roared violently to the sky.
That's right! This alone is not a complete escape, there are only dozens of people in my hands, which is completely insufficient!
We've got to get the boss to come to the rescue!
He hurriedly told his subordinates to set off sparks to notify the leader of Kongoji Castle to come to the rescue.
Although this may not be effective, he will give it a try, after all, the ambush has been broken, and he is less than five miles away from the King Kong Temple City, which is equivalent to picking up a life!
However, Hosokawa Tadashi did not eat for nothing!
He knew that he wanted to block people, and he couldn't stop him in the gorge, so he climbed the back mountain road, made a detour of seven or eight miles, and intercepted it back violently, just in time to block the way of the one-eyed general.
"Taoist Sun Yi! Come on! β
"Humph! Gremlin! Don't be afraid of death, just come! β
The one-eyed general grabbed his spear and killed the enemy desperately, and Hosokawa Tadashi stabbed at the same time, and the two fought, evenly divided, and the fight was inseparable.
How could Sasaki Kojiro make him happy to fight, and ordered his subordinates to force forward to fight, and under the three more people, the one-eyed protector has been defeated, and he is retreating, and roars:
"With four enemies and one, what kind of hero is it!"
Heroes? Come on, which two hundred and five (Hosokawa Tadashiko:...... are you with Only by fighting can you find some cheapness, if Uncle Ben takes action in person, he will kill you in minutes!
Kojiro Sasaki sneered:
"Humph! Do you still need to deal with people like you Zagazhong? On, bow and arrow waiting! β
Hundreds of people used their bows and arrows and shot at a rapid pace, forcing the Zaga people to flee in the wilderness, and they were unconsciously forced back to the mountain gorge.
"Hmph, this is called catching turtles in an urn...... Hey? What sound is this?! β
Hosokawa Tadashi was proudly sealing the mouth of the gorge when he suddenly heard the sound of hooves behind him, and his heart was shocked.
Suddenly, the soldier shouted anxiously:
"Young master! It's not good, the people of the Zaga crowd fought back, a big group! β
It was Suzuki Shigemao, the leader of the Saga clan, who led 300 men and horses to support.
As early as midnight, he suddenly saw a dark light floating on the northwest hill (needless to say, this is the light of my burning city), and he was already uneasy.
After another shift, he heard a deep sound on the ground, and he listened to the sound closely, and found that it was the posture of a large group of men and horses.
It was clear that the war had already occurred, so he ordered his subordinates to prepare for the battle. However, the sound of hooves is getting closer and closer, and it clearly means that it is aimed at the Kongo Temple Castle.
According to common sense, there is no reason for your own army to be so eager? Even if there is, it is urgent, or hunted down.
Either way, he felt that it was not good, so he brought two hundred people with him to watch.
It wasn't until he saw the distress signal that he was sure something was wrong!
The Eagle Mountain Dojo is the base camp of the Saga people, and it was copied like this, do you think he can not be in a hurry?!
Only then did he order the whole gang to go out, and 100,000 people hurried to save people.
Hosokawa Tadashi didn't observe it well for a while, and he had already been copied back by the other party, and his advantage was suddenly lost.
No way! Why is it that all of a sudden I am the one who is making dumplings?!
In fact, neither in this book nor in history, Hosokawa Tadashi is not a man of plans, he always does things with a head and a half-heart.
But the most puzzling thing is that this guy has become a famous general, it's really ......
The one-eyed protector was overjoyed when he saw the arrival of the banners of the Zaga people.
"Brethren! We are saved! β¦β¦ Walk! Kill all your enemies! We'll be rewarded! β
"Kill!"
The remaining fifty or so soldiers were indeed in high spirits when the leader arrived, and they kept trying to fight back.
However, if you say fight back, you will fight back.
Because the mouth of the gorge was narrow and the contact surface was not enough, the two sides became a rotten fight.
Let's talk about the ultimate boss of this battle -- Suzuki Shigetasah.
The leader of the Suzuki Chongchao is burly, and he does look like he has the posture of a gangster boss! But......
He himself has a roe deer's head and rat eyes, and his triangular eyes are full of evil light, and although he is only in his forties, he has a wrinkled face, and he looks like a thief and pickpocket.
Seeing that the enemy army was blocked, he pointed his knife at Hosokawa Tadashi in the distance and laughed wildly:
"Hahahahahahaha...... I didn't think that I could kill the shogunate's official Akechi Kogoro here today, hahahahaha......"
"Boss ......"
"What's wrong?"
A dog-headed military division of Suzuki Shigemasa weakly passed by:
"Chief, you're mistaken, that person isn't wise Kogoro?"
"What?! Not wise?! So who is he?! β
"From the flag, it looks like someone from the Hosokawa family, but I don't know who it is......"
"It's useless! I don't even know who the enemy is! You're still a military advisor! β
"Smack!"
As he spoke, Suzuki slapped the innocent guy twice viciously.
Don't look at Suzuki Chong's aggressive appearance towards this guy, in fact, he wants to hide the embarrassment of his own oolong just now because he recognized the wrong person.
Don't be surprised, leaders are all this virtue.
"Imp! It doesn't matter who you really are! You're going to die here today! β
But what made him even more unable to get off the stage was that...
Hosokawa Tadashi even ignored him completely!
He attacked the one-eyed general on his own, and shouted:
"Brethren, do not panic! Just kill these people, and we'll be able to break through! β
"Hahahahaha...... Little ghost, now you are the meat on our chopping board, and you are still thinking about breaking through......"
Taoist Sun Yi laughed wildly:
"Then you can break through to Lord Hades!"
The spear shook again, but retreated while fighting, Hosokawa Tadashi advanced violently, and the leaders of the Saga people naturally pressed forward in the blink of an eye, and the whole team of men and horses squeezed into the canyon.
The most painful thing here should be the crusade against the soldiers, and under the enemy's back, they can't move or even be squeezed and captured.
When he was in a critical situation, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps behind him.
Suzuki Shigechao was puzzled.
What's going on? Didn't the brothers in his hands come in a whole group, how could there be reinforcements?
Before the thought was finished, the subordinates at the end had already screamed:
"Chief! Oh no, the enemy soldiers are coming! ββ
Just as Hosokawa Tadashi was blocked, Suzuki Shigesa's face changed drastically:
"Break through, this is a trick of wise Kogoro!"
He wanted to recoil, but Taniguchi suddenly blasted down thousands of stones.
Forcing him to have nowhere to run, he yelled:
"Grab that little guy as a hostage!"
But he doesn't seem to have a chance to take the hostages!
Countless ropes were suddenly dropped on both sides of the canyon, and Hosokawa Tadashi, Sasaki Kojiro and more than 100 soldiers grabbed the ropes with both hands and were dragged to the top.
Before leaving, Hosokawa Zhongxing did not forget to bury the Taoist Sun Yiyi:
"One-eyed dragon, I won't play with you! Uncle left first! Hahaha......"
"Zhongxing!"
After this unreliable righteous brother was pulled up, I stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.
"How's it going? Dude, you're not hurt, are you? β
Hosokawa Tadashi said nonchalantly:
"Of course, what can these little thieves do to me?"
Sasaki Kojiro behind him sneered:
"Hehe, this guy started pretending to be a big-tailed wolf as soon as he got out of danger......"
"It's good that you're okay! Otherwise, that crazy girl from Tamako will never finish with me. β
"Uh...... Big brother, do you really care about me? β
"Huh? What do you mean by that? β
"Why do I think you're worried about your sister?"
"Uh...... Mr. Sasaki, I want to say thank you. β
"Nani?"
Sasaki Kojiro's eyes widened, and he couldn't figure out what else was going on with him.
"This guy can actually hear what others are saying, it seems that your cultivation of him is quite good, but then again, it should be very hard to tune a fool, right?"
ββ¦β¦β
Only then did the one-eyed general know that from beginning to end, he had always been a dead chess piece played by the opponent in the palm of his hand.
He should have thought about why the wise Kogoro on the other end always stayed at Taniguchi and didn't attack, and he was clearly playing a bigger plan.
However, he forgot about the seriousness of the fact that he was overjoyed that the leader came, and he wanted to force Hosokawa Tadashi, who was acting as a bait, to death, which was ridiculous!
This wise Kogoro is simply terrifying!
Everything is in his calculations, and he has always been like a monkey being played around.
Come to think of it, when I heard his name before, I was quite unimpressed.
Cut! A little ghost in his twenties dares to call himself a "dragon of Izumo", so should he be called "Emperor Shakti Bodhisattva"?
It's just that he was born a little better and became the son-in-law of Oda Nobunaga to achieve today's achievements.
It's just because of his humble background that he had to fall into the grass and become a thief in order to earn a living.
Hum! If I had stood at his starting point, let alone the name of a country, I would have taken over the world long ago!
That's what he thought.
This is also reasonable, ignorant and stupid people are more or less arrogant!
The name "Dragon" was not called in vain (although its owner was very disgusted by it).
Knowing today, Taoist Sun Yi realized how ridiculous his original idea was.
In addition to his grief and indignation, he couldn't help screaming wildly, and jumped up, trying to chase and kill the enemy who escaped by climbing the rope.
"Ahh
However, there were already ambush soldiers waiting from above, and a few stones hit him in the face and fell to the ground.
As the chief director of this scene, I finally showed up and laughed:
"Dare to go against the shogunate, this is the end, smash me!"
The head was ordered, and the stones were smashed more happily, coupled with the hundreds of people who climbed up, the stones simply fell like dense rain, making the ghosts cry wolf, and they had no power to parry.
Suzuki Shigechao couldn't help but roar:
"If you have the courage to come over and fight hard, play this trick, what kind of hero is it!"
But my next sentence almost didn't choke this guy to death.
"Who are you, uncle?!"
As the leader of the crusading army, don't I know the identity of the other party?
Of course not!
Just like when he was in Kofu, Oda Nobunaga deliberately said in front of everyone that he didn't know Nobuyan Anayama.
In fact, if it weren't for Anayama Nobuyojun "defecting to the Imperial Army" and sacrificing Suruga Province, the Takeda family would not have perished so quickly.
Oda Nobunaga's words are actually humiliating the traitorous Anayama Nobukun.
That's pretty much what I'm saying so far.
Are you my opponent in this battle?
Bah! Who knows who you are?!
Since I want to humiliate others, I will simply humiliate to the end.
