Chapter 128: The Three Rivers Have Been Decided
Yasumasa Kamihara, who was riding on a horse, saw that the temple was only made of wood, and he couldn't help but think about it, so he just heard him say: "Two adults, I think it is not easy to take this temple, but it is not difficult to destroy this temple. ”
Honda Tadashi was a little unhappy in his heart, he had been attacking for many days, and he didn't think of a way, and Kamihara Yasumasa had already thought of a way to come to the tea less than a little later, and the gap in his heart was also born. But as for whether to seize the temple or destroy the temple, he didn't have much thought, in Honda Tadashi's opinion, anyway, this temple is not his own, as long as he can kill the thieves in the temple, he really has no other requirements.
Torii Mototada also felt sincere admiration for Kamihara Yasumasa to think of a way so quickly, and couldn't help asking: "Don't sell Guanzi, take Katsukuji Temple earlier, and we can return to Okazaki Castle sooner to restore my life." ”
I saw that Kamihara Yasumasa smiled slightly, and arched his hand and said: "Two adults, this is not the place to talk, I'll go back to the big tent to talk in detail." ”
In the big tent, after the three of them sat down, Honda Tadakatsu anxiously urged: "I said, don't sell the guanzi, hurry up and tell me and Lord Torii about the strategy." ”
Yasumasa Kamihara put on a confident look and said, "Looking down, this Katsukuji Temple is all made of wood, so if you can use fire, ......
Before Kanhara Yasumasa finished speaking, Honda Tadashi slapped his thigh fiercely, jumped up and shouted excitedly: "Good plan, Ha Lu Ha, good plan, that Takayama clan can burn down the Honzheng Temple, let's also burn the Shengfu Temple, Ha Lu Ha." ”
After admiring it, Honda Tadakatsu shouted loudly outside the tent: "Someone is coming"
As soon as the words fell, I saw a flag head running in briskly. He knelt on the ground and saluted and said, "My subordinates are here, please give instructions to the lord." ”
Honda Tadakatsu excitedly ordered: "Go and gather all of you to discuss the strategy of defeating the enemy." ”
The camp tent of 500 people was not big, and Honda Tadashi had such a loud voice, Yonezu Changharu and Takagi Kiyohide had already heard it clearly in their respective camps, and before they could wait for the flag to greet each other, the two of them had already come to the big tent.
After all, Yasumasa Kamihara and Mototada Torii were only reinforcements, so it was not good for Honda Tadakatsu to give orders directly to these two, and after seeing Yonezu Iva and Takagi Kiyohide coming in, he only heard him directly order: "I will give you two half a day to prepare things that cause fire, the more the better." Tonight, a general attack was launched on the Katsuji Temple. ”
"Yes, I'll do it." After speaking, the two of them didn't dare to have any delay, and immediately led Ashigaru to prepare.
That night, outside the tent, there were a lot of flammable materials, in addition to wood and hay, there were also a large number of bedding, doors and windows, and even tattered clothes and trousers.
Seeing that it was about to be the time of the night, six hundred ashigaru, half of them holding the things that started the fire, and the other half holding torches, had already arrived outside the temple, and Honda Tadakatsu straightened the antlers on his head, picked up the dragonfly that was on the ground, pointed in the direction of the temple, and shouted, "Attack"
As soon as the words fell, I saw 200 Ashigaru rushing in front with the thing that ignited the fire, and the other 200 Ashigaru with torches walking in the middle, and the last 200 Ashigaru with spears in their hands, followed by the 200 Ashigaru led by Yonezu Ivun and Takagi Kiyohide, and their task was to take the opportunity to seize the temple when the enemy in the temple encountered a fire attack.
In the blink of an eye, Ashigaru had approached five meters from the temple wall, only to see them quickly throw the flammable object in their hands into the temple, and then quickly evacuate without looking back.
And now it is late at night, even with the help of torches, until the enemy outside the city comes close, the defenders in the temple do not find what they have in their hands, but even if they find out, it is too late, only to see straw branches, tattered clothes and pants falling from the sky, followed by the overwhelming torches, flying over their heads, the dry wood fire is out of control at the touch of a touch, in an instant, the fire in the temple is full of fire, many monks or peasant soldiers who are relatively close to the sky, suddenly deceived by the raging fire, these fire people let out a heart-rending roar, While they were constantly scurrying around the temple, it would be better if they stayed where they were, and the defenders around them would suffer. Anyone who couldn't dodge was all set on fire by this group of burning men. …,
The remaining defenders were dodging the flames in the temple and their companions who were haunted by the flames, and they couldn't help but feel glad in their panic. At this moment, all the defenders in the temple were no longer in the mood to protect the temple, and they began to flee one after another, only hating that their parents had lost two legs.
However, the 200 Matsudaira family Ashigaru who had been waiting outside the city for a long time could not let them get their wish, only to see that the first monk who ran out of the temple gate had just taken a step out of the temple gate, and was stabbed into a honeycomb by dozens of spears, and his death was much worse than that of the defenders who were burned alive in the temple.
After him, more defenders escaped, and although many were lucky enough to escape the slaughter of Ashigaru outside the temple, they were also unlucky, because the four hundred Ashigaru who were in charge of setting the fire in the first place had all grabbed their spears and pounced on them. Of the 500 defenders, less than 200 actually escaped.
Slowly, the screams grew quieter and quieter, until only the crackling sound of fire remained. Outside Katsukuji Temple, after the ashigaru men slaughtered the last defender who ran out, they all retreated to Honda Tadakatsu and Kamihara Yasumasa and lined up behind them, waiting for orders.
Honda Tadashi Katsukatsu Temple had been completely burned down, and he was completely relieved, and with a spear, he ordered the withdrawal of the army.
In the following time, Honda Tadakatsu and Kamihara Yasumasa joined forces and began to crusade against rebellion in Higashimikawa, which is basically the strength of the Imagawa family, they saw that Yoshida Castle was lost, not to mention relying on their own small city to resist, among these Imagawa retainers or vassals, a large part of them have seen that the Imagawa family is declining, and the Matsudaira family is rising in the sun, so most of the Honda Tadashi and others, as soon as the army arrived, they opened the city to express submission, and there are some stubborn resistance, In front of the army of the Matsudaira family, they were all wiped out.
In less than a month, Higashi Mikawa was pacified by the Matsudaira family, and now in the entire Mikawa country, except for Bikai County is still in the hands of the Oda family, everything else is under the orders of the Matsudaira family, and this time the rebellion has been inseparable from the Imagawa family, and now it has torn its face, so Matsudaira Motoyasu stabilized Mikawa at the same time, and also had the intention of attacking Yuan, Jun......,
