Chapter 307: The enemy is in the Honnoji Temple
Stomp, stomp! Two dark horses came out of the temple and were close to Oda Nobunaga: the brothers Kiyoshi Kose and Yori Sugaya, whose father was Oda Nobubo, who died in the Battle of Barrel Sama.
"Drink!" Oda Nobutada forced Akechi Hidemitsu back, and he was slashed hard in the left shoulder, revealing his bones.
"Young master! Young Lord! "Toshiharu Saito and Hidekatsu Tomita hurriedly protected Nobutada, but... The surroundings were already surrounded, and there were only three of them left.
Seeing the enemy approaching little by little, and the encirclement shrinking smaller and smaller, Oda Nobutada's heart sank, and he knew that today he was probably already in a catastrophe.
"What's going on! What are you doing! Suddenly, there was a question, and everyone turned their heads to see the two brothers, Kiyoshi Kose and Yori, Sugaya Naga, with puzzled expressions on their faces.
"Let's go! Go and tell your father! Wise light show him back! Oda Nobutada shouted as if he had seen a bright light before he died.
"Ahh Kose Kiyoshi exclaimed in surprise, and now he could see clearly that his young master was surrounded in the middle by people covered in blood.
"Big brother, go back to the lord! I'm going to save the young master! Drive! Sugaya Lai urged the horse to rush towards the encirclement, and Kiyoshi Kose also took the reins of the horse, turned around and ran towards Honnoji.
"Drink! Under the wise light loyalty! Death is coming! "Akechi Mitsutada urged the horse out of the ranks and blocked Sugaya Nagayori, who was the son of Akechi Mitsuhide's uncle Akechi Mitsuhisa and Mitsuhide's second son-in-law.
"Humph! Do you think you'll be able to escape? Today! No one wants to leave alive! Wise Mitsuhide's expression was playful, and he spoke in a pun. As soon as he turned over, he got off the horse, threw the reins of the horse to the side at will, slowly pulled out the sword on his waist, and approached Oda Nobutada and the others.
"Kill!" Akechi Mitsuhide let out a loud shout and went into battle himself, slashing at Toshiji Saito, who was standing in front of him, who staggered to one knee and fell to his knees.
"Oh!" Seeing that the main general was so brave, the morale of the wise team was greatly boosted, and the weapons in their hands were stabbed at the three people in the center of the circle.
Poof! "Uh..."Oda Nobutada vomited blood, dozens of spears in his body, Saito Toshiji and Tomita Hidekatsu, who were guarding him, fell to the ground and died, and Sugaya Nagayori was also taken by Akechi Mitsutada.
"Your Highness Xinzhong, you are great, you are a good family governor, but it's a pity... Your father's philosophy is very different from that of Zaizen. Akechi Mitsuhide walked over and looked at Oda Nobutada, who had a faint breath.
"Ahem... Cough... Are you... If you are on top, you can... Let the world be peaceful? Ahem... Dream! Kill us... It's only going to make this... World... It's even more chaotic..."Oda Nobutada looked at Akechi Mitsuhide with stubborn eyes, as if laughing at his stupidity.
"Nope! Not in the next, but in the next believe, there is a person who can do it! Akechi Mitsuhide shook his head at first, then solemnly stretched out a finger.
"Who!" Oda Nobutada raised an eyebrow and asked eagerly.
"Is this... His Highness Xinzhong doesn't need to know, because your path has come to an end! Farewell! Akechi Mitsuhide raised the sword in his hand, and Oda Nobutada closed his eyes in resignation.
With a slash, Oda Nobutada withdrew from the stage of history, a full decade earlier than in history!
Stompe! Stompe! Kiyoshi Kosekiyo's long horse galloped down the road, and as long as he turned the alley in front of him, he could reach Honnoji Temple.
"Damn fellow! I must report to the lord and cut you with a thousand knives to avenge the young master and my brother! Kiyocho Kose thought resentfully, and a few tears remained in the corners of his eyes.
Hiss! Suddenly, the horse stumbled and threw Kiyocho Kose out violently.
"Ouch!" With a plop, Kiyoshi Kose landed on the ground with a long face, and his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and two teeth were knocked out.
Whoosh! More than a dozen ninjas sprang out from the houses on both sides of the road, and the hidden weapons in their hands spilled at Kiyocho Kose, who fell to the ground.
"Ah!!h Kiyoshi Kose pulled his throat and tried his best to let out a scream before he died.
"Huh? What was that? Come and check it out! The guards on guard at the Honnoji Temple heard the screams and hurried over.
As soon as I turned the corner at the entrance of the alley, I saw a man lying on the ground holding his legs and crying bitterly: "Ahhh Oh! It hurts me! Fall me to death! My knees are broken! It hurts me! Oh! โ
"Cut! It's just a fall, as for the pain like this! A man next to him lectured him in a reproachful tone.
"What! If you fall, you might be worse than I screamed! As a result, the two had a verbal altercation and argued with each other.
"Humph! It turned out to be some villains in the market. The guards put away their weapons and returned to the Honnoji Temple to be on guard.
"Ouch... The man who fell to the ground peeked and saw that the guards were gone, and after a look with his companions, he slipped away quietly, leaving only a pool of blood on the ground.
After about a cup of tea, there was a sound of scattered footsteps on the street, and it was Akechi Mitsuhide who had arrived with his army.
It seems that Oda Nobunaga has not yet noticed. Very good. Akechi Mitsuhide hid at the entrance of the alley and observed, and found that there was no abnormality.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Enemy Honnoji! Kill! Akechi Mitsuhide pulled out his sword and took the lead in rushing towards Honnoji.
"Oh!" The 5,000-strong army shouted in unison and surrounded the Honnoji Temple.
Honnoji Temple is a Buddhist temple located in Fuchukyo District, Kyoto, Japan, next to the main street of "Yakojidori", the sect is the Honmon-ryu of the Lotus sect, and the deity is the Nichiren mandala deity. Therefore, this is just an ordinary temple used by Oda Nobunaga to stay, covering a small area, and there is no defense system, and it is really difficult to fly when surrounded by 5,000 people.
"Drink! Yes! The four Mahui warriors guarding the gate were knocked to the ground on the spot by the swarming wise team.
Duang๏ผ Akechi Hideman kicked open the gate fiercely and took the lead in rushing into the outer courtyard, and the samurai of the Oda family in the courtyard were stunned at first, and then immediately greeted them with swords. Since some were taken away by Oda Nobutada, there were less than sixty followers in the Honnoji Temple at this time. Don't wonder why there are so many guards, it's like being in your own home, do you have to bring tens of thousands of people with you at any time?
"Kill!" Nomura Masanari and Mori Yoshikatsu wielded a sword to slash and slash all invading enemies, guarding the gate from the outer courtyard to the inner court. And this Mori victory is the samurai who fought for Imagawa Yoshimoto in the Battle of Barrel Sasama.
"My lord! Lord! Oda Nagatoshi quickly ran into the inner courtyard and rushed to Oda Nobunaga's apartment, who was Oda Nobunaga's twelfth brother.
With a bang, the barrier door was rudely opened, and Oda Nobunaga appeared at the door with a gloomy face, and the fight outside had already alarmed him: "Nagato! What's going on! โ
"My lord! Honnoji is surrounded by rebels! Now they've stormed the outer court! Oda Nagatoshi knelt on one knee and shouted loudly.
"Rebels? Do you see what the flag is? Oda Nobunaga frowned, he had always thought that the security in Kyoto was the best, and there was an army of Akechi Mitsuhide on the periphery, so he didn't expect there to be rebels at all.
"It's the Kikyo Flag Mark!"
"What! Is it Mitsuhide..."Oda Nobunaga never expected that the wise Mitsuhide, whom he had relied on recently, would rebel, looked at the little surname and the side around him, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "What a mistake, if it's Mitsuhide, then there's no way." โ
