Chapter 129: The Battle of Guanyin Temple City (3) (Recommended for 1,004 plus more.) Thank you)
"Rest assured, Lord Ando, this battle will be won. Although our army has been fighting continuously, the sergeants are tired, and so is the other party, and besides, my Hosokawa headquarters has been resting for most of the day, so it is a good time to attack the city. Although Mino obeyed his orders in this battle, he was not too tough, and patiently explained.
"Lord Hosokawa is the main general in this battle, since the lord has decided, then let's sweep the battle for the lord in the inferior class." Ando Mamoru had already been secretly instructed by his son-in-law Takenaka Hanbei that he must listen to Hosokawa Nobumoto's orders in everything, otherwise he may not necessarily listen to him.
"Excellent! Come, hold my flag! I'm going to go out myself! After speaking, the "Jin Tuo Mei Gu Foot" on his body was covered with a blue cloak, embroidered with Hosokawa Matsukasa Lingjia pattern, and the whole person suddenly looked magnificent.
Knock knock!
The Hosokawa army marched neatly and pressed to the outside of Hota Mountain, and the defenders on the city wall looked nervously at the solemn army outside the city, and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
"The lord has arrived!"
A strong voice opened the curtain of the Hosokawa army, and the troops on both sides turned around in unison, making way for a passage.
Hosokawa Nobumoto rode to the front of the battle on his black horse "Hurricane".
With a bang, Honda Tadakatsu fiercely inserted the general's flag and horse seal on one side, looked at the city and shouted: "Whose military flag is this!" ”
"Hosokawa-sama!" A name was shouted inside and outside the walls.
"Who's this right away!!" Honda Tadakatsu bowed his head to Nobumoto Hosokawa.
"Hosokawa-sama Yamaga!!" The blue cloak on Hosokawa Nobumoto's body rose with the wind, and the huge Hosokawa Kasamatsu Ryoshi family pattern bloomed in the setting sun.
The guards on the city wall, Tanaka Osamu and Tanaka Motonobu, looked at the angry crowd around them with flickering eyes, and they were extremely nervous.
"To whom are you allegiant!! Honda Tadakatsu struggled to raise the horse seal, and the military flag was like a living soul, grinning in the wind.
"Hosokawa Yamagata Adult !!" The crowd shouted in unison, and the fanatical heart was restless.
"The head of the house in the descent of the mountain! Toshifang in the mountains! I would like to die for Hosokawa Yagata-sama! Warriors of the mountain family, those who will obey me! Take off your hat! Suddenly, a young samurai shouted, and the Ashigaru of the Yamanaka family understood why he had asked for a red ribbon to be tied on his head before the war.
"In the next companion of the family! Companion letter! I wish to swear allegiance to Lord Hosokawa Yagata! From me! Take off the hat! Another samurai gave his name.
Woo-la-la! Ashigaru began to take off the hat on his head in twos and threes, revealing the red ribbons.
"At the lower Ukai house..."
"At home in Xiamu Village...", more and more people reported their names and took off their hats.
"Huh? You guys! You all..."Osamu Tanaka was already in a cold sweat, and his trembling right hand didn't know who to point.
"At Shimoda's house! Motonobu Tanaka! I would like to die for Hosokawa Yagata-sama! A cold voice came from behind him, stinging Tanaka's heart.
Tanaka Osamu looked back at his brother mechanically, unable to believe all this: "Even you..."
"Brother, the Hexagonal family is gone, and it is better to obey the destiny of heaven in order to keep the name of the Tanaka family forever." Tanaka Motonobu looked at his brother expressionlessly, and in this troubled world, he did not hesitate to kill each other for the sake of their respective beliefs.
"Those who follow me prosper! Death to those who oppose me! Seeing that the general trend had been achieved, Hosokawa Nobumoto pulled out his famous knife and held it high into the clouds, and ordered loudly: "Siege!" Kill!! ”
"Oh!!" The Hosokawa army under the castle shouted in unison and rushed towards the already chaotic Wada Mountain Castle.
"Kill!"
"Die!" A hell on earth is also unfolding on the city of Hetian Mountain, and the comrades-in-arms who were partners just now have become enemies in the blink of an eye, fighting for the justice they uphold in their hearts and the beliefs in their hearts.
"Does a soldier die for a confidant?" Hosokawa Nobumoto rode on his horse, looking at the soldiers who knew and didn't know on the city wall, and the soldiers who fought for themselves one by one, as if he remembered that he was ambushed in Inabayama Castle and fought to the death of the ninja army behind the palace.
"Don't worry, I won't let you down!" Hosokawa Nobumoto clenched his fists as if he had made up his mind.
Hosokawa Nobumoto knew that their requirements were not high, to be able to eat a full meal, to be able to keep their family alive, to be able to have a dignity, and that's it.
Burst!
"Uh, cough! Cough! Tanaka Motonobu looked at the knife inserted in his abdomen, and his hands drooped weakly.
"Why! Why are you doing this! Tanaka Jimu cried and shouted, he killed his brother with his own hands, the younger brother who grew up together, the younger brother who was willing to follow him in everything!
"For the sake of the family... In order to keep the name of the family from being destroyed... Cough! Tanaka Motonobu looked at his brother with difficulty, once upon a time, the eldest brother he admired a lot, but unfortunately...
"Brother! Fast... Let's go... Don't go again... Ahem it's too late..., all this today... Whether it's the Rokkaku family or the Oda family... I won't be embarrassed about my family... Cough... OK... You can cough it up! "Motonobu Tanaka spurted out a large mouthful of dirty blood.
"Could it be... Are you... You're here for me, to live..."Osamu Tanaka suddenly realized something, choked up and couldn't speak anymore, tears of remorse gushed out.
"Brother, see you in the next life!" The meaning of this sentence, which can no longer be spoken, is undoubtedly leaked from Tanaka Motonobu's eyes, and it is passed to his brother from heart to heart.
"Brother walk slowly, wait for my brother for a while... What a family! What a house name! It's! It's just us brothers! It's just us brothers! Woooooooo
"Lord Tanaka, Brother Ling has already gone, please mourn." Behind him, there was the voice of the mountain handsome house, and the city had already been taken by the Red Turban Army.
"I know, I want to see Hosokawa-sama in the next place, and please bother to say goodbye." Osamu Tanaka said in a flat tone, as if there was no color in this world.
"This..."Yamanaka Toshifang was originally embarrassed and wanted to refuse, but was pulled by the companion Changxin on the side.
Yamanaka Shunfang looked back at the companion who nodded at him, and gritted his teeth: "Okay, I'll tell you later, as for whether Yagata Lord can't see you, it's another matter." ”
*************
Outside the castle of Wada Mountain, Osamu Tanaka, dressed in white, knelt there, and the city had been taken by Hosokawa Nobumoto without any suspense.
"I heard you were going to see me, what's the matter?" Hosokawa Nobumoto came to Osamu Tanaka, looked at Motonobu Tanaka, who had died next to him, bowed deeply, and began to mourn in silence.
Tanaka's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Why are you bowing?" ”
"That's the respect he deserves, what's wrong?" Hosokawa Nobumoto asked curiously, forgetting that in this day and age, it was not customary to bow in silence for the deceased.
