Chapter 190: In the Name of Holy War (Five Watches)
"Kill!"
"Ahh A ashigaru fell to the ground with his face covered in pain, and his face was cut open with a knife, and the flesh was blurred.
A hell on earth is being staged in Tennoji Temple, and the people of Saga and Nelai are besieged by a group of thugs, who have hideous faces and shout the Buddha name of the Sect, and rush up desperately.
"Drink!" Sugi nobo struggled to hack a thug to death, and out of nowhere, tens of thousands of people jumped out and surrounded them.
"Damn! What's going on! A sect? Always a pinch? Why is the target us? ”
The Genlai people believe in Shingon Buddhism, and although there is usually a verbal dispute with the Shingon sect, this kind of large-scale fighting has never been seen before, and this is no longer just a religious debate, but has risen to sectarian conflicts, or the most extreme method of killing.
"Kill! Wipe out all these infidels! Find out Hosokawa Nobumoto! My Buddha is compassionate! "Shimoma Yoriren led 10,000 believers to attack Tennoji Temple at night, preparing to capture Hosokawa Nobumoto alive. He is an outstanding military commander of Honganji, and together with Shimoma Yorisho and Shimoma Nakataka, he is known as the "Shimoma Sanbo Official" of the Honganji family.
"Ahh More and more people were being struck down and beheaded by a religious group several times their size.
"Damn! Honganji! Always Sect! I, Koyasan Shingon Sect, are incompatible with you! Remove! "The incident happened suddenly, and the unsuspecting Saga and Nerai suffered heavy casualties, and Suginobo had no choice but to lead the remnants into the vast night and escape from Tennoji.
"Newspaper... Successfully capture a high-ranking samurai in the room! "A monk reported to Shoma that they had caught a drunken Tsuchihashi Morishige.
"But Hosokawa Nobumoto, that infidel?" Shimoma Yoirin didn't see Hosokawa Nobumoto either, and they all came for Ma Yin.
"This... I don't know, he was already drunk when he found out, but looking at the venue, clothing, etc., he should be an important person! ”
"Well, bring it back and let the Dharma Master personally intervene." Shimoma Yoriren instructed that the reason why Hosokawa Nobumoto was captured alive was not because he was the brother-in-law of Honganji Xianru, but because he wanted to use his identity to make a fuss.
*************
With a bang, Tsuchihashi Morishige was poured with a basin of cold water.
"Porphyr... Yes! Tsuchihashi Mamoru shivered and came to his senses.
"Hmm... Belch... What's going on? He looked around blankly, and all the people standing were monks. But it was not the monks of Genlai Temple that he was familiar with, but a group of strange and ill-intentioned monks.
"Say! Who are you! A monk next to him asked.
"Huh? Next... In the lower earth bridge Shouzhong, is the leader of the Saga people. Tsuchihashi Mamoru tried to move his body, and found that he was tied up with a sturdy knot, and a bad premonition welled up in his heart.
"Huh? Not Hosokawa Nobumoto? Where did he go? Ran away? ”
"Huh? Hosokawa Ukyo-sama wasn't in Tennoji Temple, he was there in a shallow beach to the south. Tsuchihashi said resignedly, hoping that he could let him live.
"What? Absence? Fast! Send troops to arrest him! Honganji Xianru hurriedly ordered his subordinates to go to the shallows, and he, who had been neutral, suddenly issued a letter tonight, calling on the believers of Honganji everywhere to break out into a military campaign against the Oda family.
After a while, his subordinates reported that Hosokawa Nobumoto learned that Tennoji had been attacked, and boarded a ship overnight and fled to the sea.
"Damn!" Honganji appeared like a slap on the thigh, and looked at Tsuchihashi with evil eyes.
"You say you're the leader of the Saga people?"
"Exactly!"
"Didn't this seat issue an order that all my Honganji disciples should participate in the holy war against the Oda family? Why do you still help the Buddha's enemies? "Actually, Honganji Xianru also felt puzzled, and thought that all the Saga people would surrender, but only the Saga people at Awa Miyoshi's house announced that they had obeyed the law, and the others didn't know why they suddenly didn't listen to him.
"Because... Because... Under the general, all the people of Sakaga were converted to Shingon Buddhism. "Except for the Saga people who had already gone out on the expedition, they couldn't control it, and Tsuchihashi Morshige forced everyone else to convert.
"What! You! You! Bastard! Pull it out! Pull it out! Pull this traitorous sinner out and chop him alive! "The Honganji Temple was so angry that he trembled, and he pulled Tsuchihashi Morishige out without thinking about it.
************
Boom, boom, the sea is calm, only the ships are sailing.
"The lord is really unpredictable, and his subordinates couldn't imagine that Honganji would suddenly oppose his own family after thinking about it for a few days, which was without warning before." Oura Weixin originally admired his lord, but now in his mind, he has risen to a god-like state.
"That is, the confrontation of Honganji Temple is already within my prediction, let's see, not only here, but also the disciples of Honganji Temple in Nagashima and Echizen will also join this war." Hosokawa Nobumoto is full of confidence, which is his unique advantage.
"Lord, where are we going now? You're a landlubber. Oura asked with concern, his lord also has weaknesses, fear of heights, and lack of knowledge of water are things he has not been able to overcome.
"Go to Nakajima, to Hosokawa Fujiken and Akechi Mitsuhide, if they don't have our rescue, they will be besieged in that shoal by the Awa Miyoshi family and Honganji."
"Yes!"
*************
Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!
Nakajima, Akechi Mitsuhide, and Hosokawa Fujimasa led 2,000 Kyoto priests to resist the onslaught of the traditionally religious people. Fortunately, Hosokawa Nobumoto was reinforced in time, and suddenly 2,000 iron cannons fired in unison, and the disciples of Honganji Temple were all over the ground looking for teeth, and they retreated in defeat.
"Thank you, Lord Hosokawa, for your timely help, otherwise we would have suffered a heavy loss." Akechi Mitsuhide was overjoyed, and with the landing of the fifteen-hundred-iron artillery team, their defenses were even stronger.
"Hehe, what are you polite to me about, we will be in-laws in a short time. What about me... I'm not used to water, so I can't stay at sea for a long time, so I'm going to live here in the future. I hope that the wise adults will take care of it. Hosokawa Nobumoto said with a smile, now the military situation along the coast of the Oda family is only Akechi Mitsuhide here and Matsunaga Hide in the Ebikawa, and his prejudice against Matsunaga Hide will not go if he is killed.
"Hehe... Just now, Hosokawa-sama said that it was a family, so don't be polite, why are you polite at this time? You can rest assured, live here, and guarantee your safety with your life, and the food and accommodation expenses of the army under your command are all counted. Akechi Mitsuhide patted his chest and assured, not to mention that there is also Hosokawa Fujiken, the Hosokawa clan's own family, which is what Hosokawa Nobugen is most assured of.
"Okay, then you're welcome. Motoyoshi Murakami! Command you to lead the navy to guard the sea and repel all enemies from the sea! Motoshige Suzuki and Tsuda Sumasashi led the iron artillery team of the headquarters and stationed in Nakajima with me for defense! Having reached an intention, Hosokawa Nobumoto officially stationed himself on Nakajima and began to command his troops for strategic deployment.
