Chapter 199 The victory and defeat have been divided

The battle in the castle tower continued, Ishikawa Goemon saw that Rokkaku Yoshiken stopped, and his heart was a lot more relaxed, now the enemies in Aragami Mountain Castle are busy fighting the fire, and they will not come back for a while, as long as this Rokkaku Yoshiken can't get out, then he will have enough time to kill him.

If you can't get it under such conditions, then your hard work in the past few years will be in vain. And he thought that even if this hexagonal Yoshixian did not die under his double short sword, he would also die under the shuriken in his arms, even if he was already certain to die, so what did he have to worry about.

Thinking of this, Ishikawa Goemon's slightly flustered first returned to calm. Since it is the first time he has fought with people in the real sense, it can be said that he has no experience, so ten percent of his combat power will only be exerted less than fifty percent, otherwise he will not use five moves, and this hexagonal righteous sage will become a dead corpse.

However, now that he has concentrated his spirit, and he is used to fighting like this, his combat power has also increased a lot. The hexagonal Yoshixian, who could barely support him just now, is now under double pressure, and the sword moves in his hand have begun to be a little scattered, if he doesn't want to come up with a way, then it won't be long before he dies here.

Now that the Asai family has not perished, and his great revenge has not been avenged, how can he die so easily? Thinking of this, Rokkaku Yoshiken didn't know where to get the courage, and after resisting another attack by Ishikawa Goemon, he threw the ribs in his hand at him, and took advantage of the opponent's dodge to run towards the gate of the observatory.

Ishikawa Goemon saw that the opponent's back was completely exposed in front of him, he had no defense, and he didn't bother to fight him anymore, only to see him reinsert the two short knives in his hand into the back scabbard, and while chasing, he reached into his arms and took out two shuriken from it.

As soon as he turned the corner of the stairs, the shuriken in his hand was thrown out of the hexagonal Yixian, only to hear the "poof, poof" two sounds, hexagonal Yixian screamed, fell to the ground, only to see two Bafang shuriken inserted in his back knees, and the sword in his hand also took off his hand and flew out of the air.

Ishikawa Goemon once again pulled out the two short knives from his back, came to Rokkaku Yoshiken, and said flatly: "You are the first samurai to be courted by me, and I will let you die under my sword." ”

Rokkaku Yoshixian's pale face was like a wash, and although it was winter, beads of sweat the size of beans kept sliding down his forehead. I heard him say in horror: "You... Who sent you to kill you...... Ahh

Before he could finish speaking, Ishikawa Goemon had already combined the short knife more than a foot long into a cross, cut off the head of Rokkaku Yoshiken, cut off a piece of cloth on his body, wrapped the head, and left the castle tower without looking back.

Once owned more than 400,000 stone territory, the former governor of the Hexagonal Family, who had tens of thousands of feet under his command, and the Hexagonal Yixian died.

Now, the fire in Aragami Mountain Castle has been extended to the samurai mansion, unless it rains heavily, there is absolutely no possibility of being extinguished, but now it is the middle of winter, where is it likely to rain, and the samurai will shout in the city The possibility of being destroyed is conscious, so it is worth helplessly preparing to abandon the city, report the matter to the lord, and wait for the lord's punishment.

The samurai found that they had never seen any trace of Rokkaku Yoshiken in the process of saving him, and while admiring his determination, they hurried to the castle tower and reported the decision to abandon the castle to him, and then left together.

However, when they found out that Rokkaku Yoshiken had already become a headless corpse, they couldn't help but be shocked in their hearts, the crime of destroying grain and grass was not light, plus the father's father, the vice general of this war was silently taken in the castle tower, such a crime, they could not afford it, with the character of the lord, it was polite to let themselves apologize, and the destruction of the family name has become a foregone conclusion.

The status of the remaining three or four samurai present at home is not high, and the highest one is only the identity of the general of Ashigaru, and the knowledge of the line is only three hundred stones......

As soon as everyone ran out of the city, they only heard the samurai who was the general of the ashigaru, panting and saying to the samurai who was resting on the side: "Everyone, if I go to the big tent outside the castle of Sawa Mountain Castle, the lord will definitely kill us in a fit of rage, and I am not afraid of death, but if I die like this without making a meritorious service, I am really a little unwilling, so I can only see below, I might as well go to the Hatano family of the Tanba country, with our ability, if we go to the house, we will definitely be reused, and when the time comes, Achievements are expected, I wonder what you think? ”,

After listening to the samurai present, they agreed very much with his proposal, there is a way to live, and who wants to die, besides, since the ascension of the Rokkaku Yoshiji, there have been signs of decay, coupled with its tyrannical nature, the retainers are all in danger, and they have long been separated from morality, if they continue to stay in the Rokkaku family, they may end up with a funeral for them.

Thinking of this, I only heard the noon voices of the people present say in unison: "I am willing to go out with the adults." ”

"Okay, then without further ado, while Rokkaku Yoshiji and the important ministers in the family are not here, I will return to Guanyin Temple now, pick up the family, go to Yagami Castle, and go to Hatano Hideji." After speaking, I saw him stand up first and walk briskly towards the west.

When the warriors saw that he called the lord by his name, they knew that his mind had been decided, and there was no possibility of repentance, so they did not hesitate anymore and got up and left.

At the same time, five miles east of Aragami Mountain Castle, the three hundred Asai family ashigaru led by Watanabe Ren were still retreating in an orderly manner, and the leader of the Rokkaku family's small lotus pack troops, Kuchiki Mototsuna, had calmed down at the moment after the excitement, he couldn't help frowning, and thought to himself that the enemy had retreated back about 100 meters, and if it was placed in peacetime, it should have collapsed a long time ago, but today's battle was too weird, and he found that although the people were still retreating, the enemy formation showed no signs of being scattered. The number of dead ashigaru is even rarer, what is the enemy going to do?

Kuchigi Mototsuna did not think of the enemy's intentions for a while, so he continued to command Ashigaru and launched a fierce offensive in order to achieve victory as soon as possible, so that the grain and grass could be transported to the lord's tent.

After almost a stick of incense, the reinforcements led by Mikumo Narichi and Yamazaki Katake had arrived on the battlefield, and Watanabe Ren saw that everything was exactly as Takayama said, and at the same time, he immediately shouted loudly, "The enemy reinforcements have arrived, our army is defeated, evacuate immediately." After saying that, he turned the horse's head and galloped away after the disguised array.

The Asai family knew that this was Takayama-sama's plan, so after Watanabe Ren gave the order, there was no panic, only to see that their rear team changed to the front team, and quickly fled the battlefield, and before the enemy reinforcements lined up and launched an attack, they had already disengaged from the Rokkaku family's small lotus pack troops.

Looking at the Asai Army, who had already gone away, Mototsuna Kuchigi said blankly: "Victory is so simple?" ”

He really didn't expect that the outcome of this battle would be like this, although this time it failed to form a large number of casualties to the enemy, but the loss of the small lotus army led by himself was also minimal, he fought with the Asai family army many times, the battle during the reign of Asai Hisamasa was not mentioned for the time being, since that Asai Nagamasa succeeded the family governor, the scene festival mourning flag was under its strict training, and the combat power has been greatly improved. After that, whenever there was a war between the two families, the Rokkaku family could be said to lose every battle, even if their own army was two or three times stronger than the Asai army, but it was very difficult to win, so that it was still more than 100 victories.

But what's going on today, how did the combat power of the Asai Army become so low? You can crush the enemy with inferior forces yourself, which... It's incredible, isn't it?

When he just thought of this, before he had time to think about it, he saw Mikumo Narichi and Yamazaki Katake walking quickly in front of him, and the two of them saw that the grain and grass had not been destroyed by the enemy. And Ashigaru didn't lose much, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Lord Kuchigi not only saved the grain and grass, but also defeated the enemy, this is definitely a great achievement, presumably after the lord knows about this, he will definitely reward everyone, and I will congratulate you here first." ”

"The two adults are polite, this time with the elite of the Asai family, the reason why the final victory was won in the next is due to the two adults leading the army to come to the aid, if it is not for the two adults to lead the reinforcements to come, this achievement will be difficult to achieve, after seeing the lord in the next day, I must not forget to mention the merits of the two lords in front of the lord."

Although Kuchiki Mototsuna said politely, but he didn't think so in his heart, just now he saw that he was about to win, even if this Sankumo Chengzhi and Yamazaki Katake didn't come with reinforcements, the enemy would still not be able to resist their own offensive, and lead the army to withdraw, and after seeing the lord for a while, it was better not to mention the two of them, and this time the credit could not be shared by others.

When Sankumo Chengzhi and Yamazaki Katachi heard that the other party was willing to give some credit to themselves, they couldn't help but be overjoyed, in order to get the lord's reward as soon as possible, so they didn't want to delay here for too long, so they only heard Sankumo Chengzhi say: "Since that's the case, then I will thank Lord Kuchigi for supporting me with Lord Yamazaki." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he only heard Yamazaki Katake follow up and say: "Lord Kuchigi, we have the heavy responsibility of guarding the grain and grass, since the adults are fine, then the next two will return to Aragami Mountain City to resume their lives, and please take care of Lord Kuchigi." ”。
