Chapter 341: The Fall of the Shiomi Family
The takedown of Mucheng is just the beginning. Hosokawa Nobumoto left all his allies under Yagami Castle, and he took advantage of the emptiness of the wealthy clan's inner territory to lead his own elite to begin to sweep through the Tamba Kingdom.
The joint operation of the ninja army and standing was particularly smooth, and they successively took Inozaki Castle, Wakushi Castle and Naga Mountain Castle, and killed the second male Nagayama chief of Shiomi Yorikatsu, the third man Shiomi Toshikatsu, the fourth man and Kucho Toshi, and soon forced the residence castle guarded by the Yori clan of Shiomi Yori: Fukuchiyama Castle.
*************
"My son!" When the news came back to Bashang City, a handful of old salt saw Lai Sheng's eyes on the spot, and he turned his back on his back directly.
Everyone finally rescued him with all their hands and feet, but he said that he would not stay in Bashang City anymore, and he had to rush back. There is no way, his four sons are dead, and seeing that the last son-in-law is in danger, if he doesn't go back, he will wait for the heir.
"Kill!" Eight outside the city shouted to kill the sky, and the wealthy families in the city gathered in the Daguang room with complicated feelings.
As soon as Shio saw Lai Sheng go out, he was naturally covered up by Hosokawa Fujitaka and others, and the 2,000 troops didn't know how many people they could go back.
"My lord! Can't wait any longer! It's time to get out of the city together, and maybe there's a chance to win! "Akai Naomasa and Shinoi Kyoye are trying to persuade Hideji Hatano, and these two people are the famous Tamba Twin Oni: Red Oni and Blue Oni.
"No! No way! Field battles are not good! Even if Hosokawa Nobumoto is not there, the six thousand standing guards under the castle are not easy to mess with. Only by sticking to the ridge city can we win the final victory! Hatano Hideji said that he would not go out to fight a decisive battle, and Yagami Castle's past five glorious victories in Ridge Castle made him blindly stick to his thoughts.
"Lord! Hosokawa Nobumoto behaves strangely, and his combat methods are even more bizarre. Now it's clear that they want to encroach on us step by step, even if the Eight Upper Cities are defended, what can we gain? What's more, the so-called long-term defense will be lost, you can't blindly rely on the ridge city to win! Akai Naomasa vigorously persuaded that his territory was in Ice County, next to Amada County, which was under attack. One day, the bad news came, and the Hosokawa army broke through Kuroi Castle in their own ice county, but Hideji Hatano's head shook like a rattle.
"I just can't say no! And also! No one can go back now! I must defend the castle for me! When the time comes, I will compensate you for the Hosokawa army! Hideji Hatano slapped the table with a crackling sound.
"Forced back? My lord, now that the Hosokawa army is raging in our territory, how can we feel at ease? You can't just pin all your hopes on the enemy! And I heard that their standing army does not need to go back to farming at all, and it is impossible for our peasant soldiers not to go back to sow seeds in the spring, otherwise we will eat the next year! "The head of the family of Shinoi Kyoye is next to Yagami Castle, and it is the most vulnerable to attack, and perhaps one day Hosokawa Nobumoto will return, and his family leader will bear the brunt.
"yes... Yes..."The latter sentence said to everyone's heart, the so-called family has surplus food and do not panic, if the harvest is out in the coming year, this day will be difficult.
"Rest assured! Rest assured! I've already sent someone to contact my son-in-law, and he'll definitely attack the Hosokawa family's territory!" At that time, his Hosokawa family himself will not be protected, so he will naturally retreat. Hideji Hatano did his best to appease the son-in-law he spoke of, and it was none other than the daimyo of Harima Province: Bessho Nagaji, and Miki Castle of Nagaji was close to Settsu Province.
"And! Not only him, but also Araki Murashige, Takayama Yuteru and others will also rebel within Settsu Province, and the main family has also reached a unified alliance with the Akamatsu family, the Utaki family, and the Mori family, and together they will deal with the Hosokawa family! Hideji Hatano once again broke out the inside story, and everyone was shocked to hear it.
"My Fukui family would like to follow the Lord family for generations! Determined to live and die with Yagami City! Sadamasa Fukui was the first to stand up and respond.
"We want to follow the house of the Lord for generations to come! Survive and die with Yagami City! The other wealthy families also expressed their positions, and Akai Naomasa and Shikai Jiaoye glanced at each other, and also followed the trend and bowed their heads to deal with it.
*************
"One! Two! Bump! One! Two! Bump! "The gates of Fukuchiyama Castle were slammed and clicked.
"Hold on! Resist me! Shiomi Lai roared hoarsely, he mobilized more than 600 people to defend the city, which is the largest mobilization at present. And it was a group of old, weak, sick, and uneven, and those who were strong and powerful were taken away by his father.
"Archery! Archery! Suppress the city! "Oura Weixin commanded Saga to prepare for the siege of Dinghai.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Arrows shoot like meteors at the enemies at the head of the city, killing everyone who dares to show their heads on the spot.
"Quick! Fast! Attack it! "Clank! The rope was thrown to the head of the city, and the ninja army climbed the head of the city under the cover of bowing footlight.
"Archery! Shoot me an arrow! Damn it! No one taught you how to shoot an arrow! "This group of peasant soldiers is obviously untrained, and they don't even know how to use a bow.
"Damn! Why haven't the reinforcements come yet! Why hasn't my father come yet? "The despair in the eyes of the Shiomi Lai clan is increasing, the Hosokawa army has been storming for three days, and today's offensive is particularly sharp. But even so, the casualties rate of their own defenders is more than that of the besiegers, and now more than 200 people have been killed in battle, but what about the Hosokawa army? More than a dozen? Maybe less.
"It's really a bunch of wine bags and rice bags, and the peasants and soldiers have no other use than wasting food." Hosokawa Nobumoto looked at the already precarious city, in fact, it only took half a day to capture it, and the reason why he wasted three days was that he was actually fishing, waiting for the big fish to enter the net.
And this big fish is fighting in a mountain forest, surrounded by the ninja army of the Hosokawa family.
"Ahhh Damn it! Ask Hosokawa Nobumoto to come and see me! I have something to say! Yan saw that Lai Sheng was covered in blood, and a knife wound on his left arm was deep into the bones.
"The Lord has an order! The main inverse Hatano family was originally a retainer of the Hosokawa clan, not only did not bow down to the ministers, but also gathered people to rebel! From the salt to the family, also disobedient! Sins are unforgivable! Deprive the family of names! Kill! Deura Mori Qinglang said Hosokawa Nobumoto's order, and with a wave of his hand, all his subordinates pounced on Shiomi Yorisheng and the others.
"Damn! Damn it! Dare to ruin my name! I won't let you go! Shiomi Laisheng didn't expect Hosokawa Nobugen to be so ruthless, and cursed with filth.
"Dare to slander Lord Yagata! Go to hell! When the ninja soldiers heard that they were slandering their most beloved family master, they were no longer polite, and the hidden weapons in their hands were scattered like a torrential rain on Shiomi Laisheng and others.
"Ahh Yes! Yes! There were bursts of wailing in the mountains and forests, as if the time had come, and the Shiomi Lai clan was also in Fukuchiyama Castle, and he committed suicide by seppuku, and the Shiomi family was wiped out in the long river of history.
