094

For some time after the head fell into my hands, the samurai of the Akai family, who had been rushing by my side, did not notice that their leader was dead.

Until the samurai of the wise man shouted:

"His Royal Highness the Wise General Prison has asked for His Highness Akai Books!"

"Hooray! Akai Books is dead! ”

The soldiers who got this bad news were shocked and frightened, and they changed their courage just now, and began to stride back regardless of their image.

But where there are cowards, there are "leopard galls".

There were also quite a few people, who mustered the most courage, each threw down his bow, drew his long knife and rushed towards me, who was carrying a bloody human head.

This group of loyal warriors, hoping to reclaim the head of their dead Lord.

Because the road was dug with many holes, the path they could take was very narrow, and they were wearing armor and carrying weapons, so the cavalry could not fight side by side, so they had to become a column of horses, and Ashigaru could only walk side by side with two or three people.

It was so easy for me and the Flag Guards around me to kill it as effortless.

"Good, good!" I shouted "yes" three times in a row, because at this time, I was also in a state of belligerent and bloodthirsty "madness", and every time I harvested someone's life, I could get more satisfaction.

Just when I and the people around me were fighting hard, a voice came.

"Big brother, you definitely can't handle so many people alone!" Needless to say, it must be that Hosokawa Tadashi again, "It's better to divide a few and give it to my brother!" ”

"Hahaha!" Or three words together, isn't my "madness" state still lifted?

"With Ichiro, you kid! I know how to pick up the cheapest best! That's it! I don't care about these dozens of people, so I'll give them to you to practice! ”

Although it is a bucket of "swill" that others do not want to receive, Hosokawa Tadashi seems to be happy to drink it.

He took a dozen guards and faced the rushing Akai samurai, and cut his head.

Ignore his nearest ashigaru and be in a different place in an instant!

Hosokawa Tadashi, who has always had no skin and no face, is very different today.

His strength was astonishing, and there was a knight who was powerless in front of him, and he rolled to the ground with his horse and man.

No way?! I was amazed, I haven't seen him for so long, his martial arts have improved so much, which "martial arts master" taught him, or this guy was also sold to "Rulai Divine Palm" by an old beggar?

Or, does this guy also have a "madness skill"?

While I was constantly thinking about it, Hosokawa Tadashi was killing more and more vigorously over there.

Now he did feel "unconscious", and a cold light flashed between the shots, and almost no one who was killed by him could parry more than ten rounds.

Not a single one of the twenty people left was killed by him or simply kicked into the large, deep pit.

And the Qimoto guards around him, seeing that their young master was so "powerful", their morale was greatly boosted, and they all showed more than ten times the courage of the enemy and killed the Akai samurai in front of them one by one.

However, at this time, I was not interested in paying attention to all this, no matter how good the soldier behaved, the audience's eyes would only wander on the general.

When I handed over the head of Akai Naomori to Hachimoto Konoe and returned to the main camp in high spirits, it was already around two o'clock in the afternoon.

I walked up to my father, Akechi Mitsuhide, and took out Naomori Akai's head as if I were offering a treasure.

"Father! I heard the soldiers who surrendered from the Akai family say that this is the head of Akai Naomasa's cousin, Akai Naomori, please verify it, father! ”

In fact, there is nothing to verify, but my father still has a solemn face, and meticulously examines it for a long time, and finally, his brows finally relaxed.

"Yo Si! Kogoro! Good job! Take the head of the enemy in the Jin Ge Iron Horse, this is the real samurai, worthy of being my son! This is the first enemy general in our army in two days, which is of great help to inspire the morale of the army. ”

My father was in high spirits, he had always been strict with me, and it was the first time I had heard such a high praise from him.

"Thank you, father, for the compliment!"

"Fifteen Lang," after praising me, my father turned his head again and said to Fifteen Lang, who had been working as a guard, "See, this is what a samurai should do, you want your eldest brother to study hard, you know?" ”

Fifteen Lang said with envy: "I know, I will definitely take my eldest brother as a model!" ”

After speaking to the two sons, the father picked up the head of Akai Naomori again.

He said to himself: "My lord Nobunaga is the destiny of heaven, the hope of all people, and it is for the king's way to rule the world."

But you and the Hatano clan pretend to be smart, listen to the words of good deeds, arrogant and arrogant, and set off a vain military disaster on the already pacified San'in Dao, which is the disaster of the people of San'in, which makes people extremely resentful!

Now, I have ended your life on the orders of the chief prince, in order to restore a peaceful and prosperous era in Sanyin. This is your destiny and your retribution, and no one is to blame.

Even so, you should not have a trace of resentment towards us, we don't know if there is a trace of remorse in your heart, but since people have passed away, forget their common grievances, and quickly become a Buddha!"

After reciting the Buddha name a few times, he handed the head back to me.

"Father, what you just meant, did you want me to bury this 'thing' properly?"

"It's a must!" After saying so many words just now, my father's throat couldn't stand it for a long time, "But now, you still hang it on the banner of the main formation first, or other more conspicuous positions, Akai Naomori is Akai Naomasa's kindred, and his death can hit Akai Naomasa!"

When the battle is over, I am looking for a Buddhist temple and burying it well. ”

"Yes!" I knew you wouldn't be so merciful......

Shortly after I went out, Honda Masanobu walked in.

"Congratulations! I just heard that His Royal Highness the Young Lord has won the head of the enemy general, and he is invincible, which is really admirable, and there is a young master in the wise family, and prosperity in the future will not be a problem! ”

Honda Masanbu can be said to be quite a cunning person, and at the level of "cunning", there are only two people in the family who can compare with him.

One is the same unfathomable "uncle" Wise Chang'an, and the other is his father, who in history as a conspirator who could kill Oda Nobunaga, without two brushes, do you believe it?

"Hehe," my father would not be confused by his "eye medicine", "I believe that you are really overrated, Xinguang's art of war can only be said to be a slight success, and it is still far from the real 'brave and invincible', by the way, you came to me." What's the matter? ”

Although he looked puzzled, Honda Masanobu dared to swear that he, the lord, must know what he was thinking in his heart, and of course he knew the purpose of his visit.

"My lord," Honda Masanobu suddenly lowered his voice, as if he was telling his father some unspeakable secret. "The time has come!"

"Arrived?!" The father's face was beaming, "Are you sure?" ”

"Hmm!"

"That's good! Hurry up and do it! ”

"Yes!"

From beginning to end, Fifteen Lang, who was standing on the side, didn't understand what these two people were talking about, but they were there alone, listening quietly......

Akai Naomori's death in battle has a certain blow to the Akai Army and even the entire Tanba coalition army, but Akai Naomori is a soft-spoken person after all, he is not a general who can take charge alone, and he does not have much influence in the coalition army.

So, after a brief period of confusion, the coalition forces continued to advance and once again entered into a fierce battle with the Wise Army.

However, the tide of battle is about to change!

The time to witness the miracle is coming, and see how we can pull off the most magnificent reversal!

The right flank of the coalition and the troops of the Nagayi family are guarding here, and as soon as Hideharu Hatano gives the order, they will advance to fight the enemy.

However, at this time, the He Yi family, who had not made any direct contact with the wise army, looked extremely nervous, and sweat flowed down his forehead.

He had already received the news that more than half an hour ago, Akai Naomasa's cousin, Akai Naomori, had died at the hands of Akechi Mitsuhide's son, Akechi Nobumitsu.

Not only did the Akai army lose one general, but all of Akai Naomori's more than 700 men and horses were lost, either dying on the battlefield or surrendering to the enemy, and many of them fled so much that they couldn't even see their shadows.

Faced with this bad news, Akai Naomasa didn't have time to scold this incompetent fellow, so he had to personally put on the battle to stabilize the military momentum of the Akai army, which began to fluctuate.

Akai Naomasa has an anxious temper, is prone to anger, and often insults him in public for the wealthy people he doesn't like, so many wealthy families, including the Namikawa Yi family, have hatred for him.

Now seeing him so "in the limelight", although everyone has no movement on the surface, they are shouting in their hearts:

"Rejoice! You old boy has today, too! ”

"It seems that Akechi Mitsuhide has begun to slowly gain the upper hand, although it is not obvious now, but as the strongest force in the coalition army, even Akai Naomasa has begun to suffer, doesn't this mean that the form is beginning to be unfavorable to his side?

Alas~~~ Why haven't the people of Honda come yet?,Ah?! Did he give up on me......"

This is what the Yi family thinks in his heart, he has already hooked up with the wise family through the "Boss Honda", and the current situation makes him begin to congratulate that his choice is not wrong.

But Honda Masanobu didn't send someone to contact him, but he wrote an oath of allegance and presented a rich gift, so does Akechi Mitsuhide feel that he can't use himself now? Just pretending not to know about it......

Just as he was thinking nonsense, a samurai on horseback galloped over a few dozen feet away.

The son of the Yi family - the family of Hachiro of the river!

"How's it going?" And the Heyi family has been letting their son stay in front of the battle and wait for the messenger of Wise Guangxiu, and now that his son is back, although there is no messenger to accompany him, it also means that there is new news!

"Troops! Dispatch troops! The Namikawaji family said breathlessly: "Mitsuhide has an order, attack the enemy, and annihilate Hatano Hideji in one fell swoop!" ”
