Chapter 146: Fighting on a Snowy Night

Historically, Oura was an all-round master, not only a civil and military all-rounder, but also a master of diplomacy and domestic affairs.

In his life, he started with no more than 500 soldiers and eventually became a daimyo of 47,000 koku, and if it weren't for Toyotomi Hideyoshi's unification too quickly, it is very likely that he would not have stopped at Tsugaru.

Although for now, the superior ability shown by Oura for Shin is indeed the person in history.

But just a few days ago, Hosokawa Nobumoto received an ordinary report from Mutsuno, a member of the Mochizuki organization, who was close to the moon, but the content of it made Hosokawa Nobumoto feel as if history had played a joke on him.

The content of the newsletter is actually very ordinary, and it is to monitor the activities of the major names in the Mutsu area and their daily purchases.

One of them, Mogami Yoshimitsu purchased 300 spears, 20 bows, and 30 iron cannons, and the value of the things is not much, and what makes Hosokawa Nobumoto care is that the place of delivery is Orisawa Minato, and the recipient is Oura for the letter!

On the fourth day of the first month of the 12th year of Eiroku (1569), heavy snow fell, and two days had passed since the confrontation between Hosokawa Nobumoto and Awa Miyoshi's family, and neither side had carried out any tentative attacks, which was particularly strange.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki, who lived in his own temple, was very happy to learn that the invading Awa Miyoshi family had been blocked out of the country by Hosokawa Nobumoto, and couldn't help but drink a few more glasses, and fell asleep fragrantly.

"Kill! Drive these traitors out into the sea and feed the fish! Hahaha! "Ashikaga Yoshiaki was wearing great armor and holding a sword, and he was commanding the army all over the sky with high spirits. From today onwards, he will once again stand proudly between heaven and earth!

"My lord! Lord! Big things are wrong! The traitor suddenly appeared near Kyoto and is now attacking the temple of his own country, and the situation is critical! Please make a decision quickly! Suddenly, a loud shout came from behind Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and he fell off his horse in fright.

Dream, woke up.

"My lord! Lord! Outside the door, Akechi Mitsuhide's anxious voice came from.

With a thud, the barrier opened, revealing a terrified hole in the ground.

"Quick! Come on! Take Yu quickly, escape, and escape to Omi! Escape to Mino! Ashikaga Yoshiaki panicked, his mind was full of fleeing, knowing that his own temple was just a temple after all, and the defense measures were very different from the castle. Moreover, Ashikaga Yoshiaki was surrounded by only more than 100 people who served the public.

"Your lord, no! Now the heavy snow is closing the road, and there are thousands of enemies outside the temple, if you abandon the temple and escape, you will definitely be unable to escape the pursuit and killing, and the corpses will be in the snow! Akechi Mitsuhide yelled loudly, he didn't expect Ashikaga Yoshiaki to be so mediocre, he got up directly from the ground with a flick of his hand, and looked at Ashikaga Yoshiaki in front of him coldly.

"The subordinates have sent people everywhere to ask for help, I believe that there will be reinforcements soon, and now the subordinates are going to stick to the temple, please take care of the lord!" After saying that, he left without looking back.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki, who had been muttering to himself, was left behind: "Please... Please... Please..."

"Surround the temple! Don't let anyone go! Lawfully kill on sight! There was a loud roar, the sound shook the roof tiles, the snow fell, and a resolute face was reflected in the moonlight, it was Iwanari Yutong, one of the "three good threes" who had originally surrendered.

It turned out that Iwasari Tomotsu was the executor of the "decapitation operation", and he conspired with Saito Ryuxing, Nagai Michitoshi and other samurai ronin, raised 3,000 troops from Yamagata Kuniyodo Castle, and went straight to Ashikaga Yoshiaki's palace and his own temple to kill.

"Burn them all!" Saito Ryuko commanded the army and burned the outer gate wall of the temple, because the incident happened suddenly, and the general's public did not defend the perimeter at all.

"Up! Leave no mouth alive! Kill them all! After the deed is done, there are many rewards! "Yakushiji Sadahara, who is a retainer of Iwanari Yumichi, led the rebels and rushed into the temple like a tidal wave.

At this time, Akechi Mitsuhide and Hosokawa Fujiken were guarding the door of the inner room, looking nervously at the entrance of the courtyard, and the sound of killing was getting louder and louder in their ears.

"Oh!!" More than thirty people rushed in from the entrance of the courtyard.

"Shoot!"

Whoosh!

Arrows rain down on both sides!

Poof!

"Ugh!"

"Ahh The rebels were knocked to the ground by a staggered array of arrows, lying on the ground, blood soaked in snow and steaming.

"Bet on the name of the samurai! Kill!! Akechi Mitsuhide drew his sword from his waist and led the public to rush towards the rebels who came in later.

"Drink! Kill! ”

"Die!"

Burst! "Ahhh The two sides launched a tragic white-knuckle battle in the courtyard and at the door, with broken hands and feet, intestines and heads scattered all over the place.

"Hahaha! Little Cubs! Grandpa is sending you on your way! Drink! "Yama Gennai slashed a traitor with a single sword, and he and Uno Yashichi were originally the widows of the Wakasa Takeda family.

Oda Nobunaga came to defect after going to Luo, hoping to restore the old system with the help of the Oda family, and is now under the control of Oda Nobunaga under the command of Akechi Mitsuhide, responsible for protecting the Yoshiaki Imperial Palace.

"Die! Die! "Uno Yaqi and Yama Prefecture Gennai attacked alternately, and gradually killed Yakushiji Saharu, who was commanding in the distance, and captured the thief and captured the king first!

"Huh? Fast! Stop them! Yakushiji Sadaharu also found two bloody people slowly advancing in the snowy night.

"Oh!" Yakushiji Zhenchun's banner is light and stabbed one after another.

Jingle Bell! Cracking sound! Uno Yashi and Yama Prefecture Gennai, cut off one spear after another, and killed one traitor after another.

Burst!

"Ugh!" Uno stumbled and was shot in the thigh.

"Uhhhh Die! With a brush, Uno Yaqi struggled to kill the enemy in front of him, and looked at Yama County Gennai beside him, his left shoulder was also shot, and his hand hung weakly.

Whoosh~~Whoo~~ With the passage of time, the weather is cold. The two of them only felt like fire in their chests, their throats and eyes were sweet, and they couldn't breathe.

"What a surprise! They're no longer good! Give it to me! Yakushi Temple Zhenchun roared in a trembling voice, and his subordinate Qi Ben Shuqing gritted his teeth and approached the two killing gods again.

Poof! Poof!

Uno Yashi and Yama Prefecture Genuchi stood there motionless with spears stuck in their bodies, holding the broad-cut sword in their hands, and the rebels were too frightened to step forward.

"What are you doing! Why not attack! "A high-ranking samurai came from behind Yakushiji Sadaharu, and it was Saito Ryuko who burned down the outer walls and came to help.

"Fast... Saito-sama, they, they're all ghosts! Yakushiji Zhenchun trembled his right hand and pointed to the two people in front of him.

"Huh? Ghost lovers? Saito Ryukoichi frowned and approached the two men, but Uno Yachi and Yama Prefecture Genuchi ignored him in the slightest.

"These two are dead, go on the attack! There is no way for them to escape. Saito Ryuko passed between the two and headed straight for the courtyard, followed by a group of bandits loyal to him.
