Chapter 754: Throwing away the armor
The first rays of sunshine in the morning are cast on Satsuma Izumi Castle.
Crunch crunch... Otemon was slowly opened, and two Ashigaru guards walked out.
"Hmm—" A foot stretched and yawned as he walked to the side of the road and stood up. The other Ashigaru was also sleepy-eyed, apparently just getting up.
"Huh? Fujihachi! Look there! A ashigaru suddenly saw a group of people on horseback on the avenue in the distance, slowly approaching, it was Shimazu and them.
At this time, Shimazu had dark circles under his eyes and was sluggish, and they hurried overnight, just to arrive at Shimazu Yoshihiro earlier.
"Lord Suijiu, let's take a rest in the water city in front, this man is also sleepy, and the horse is also tired. If this continues, before we can inform His Highness Yoshihiro, we will die of exhaustion. Kamada Masenu was also too tired to sit down, and he was panting when he sat down.
"Okay, let's get some rest." Shimazu looked at the people behind him for a long time, and they were hanging their shoulders and drooping their heads one by one, and they had reached their limit.
As soon as they heard this, many people immediately got off their horses and lay down directly by the door, just waiting for the next person to come and help them, and they didn't want to take a step.
Hiss... A war horse was able to relax, and directly screamed, foaming at the mouth and fell on the spot.
Hiss... Hiss... As if it was an infectious disease, many tired horses also fell one after another.
"Hey..."Shimazu shook his head when he saw it, it seems that he still needs to replenish the war horse, but fortunately, this is the realm of many Shimazu Yoshito, and his needs will definitely be satisfied. He trusted Yihu very much, because Yihu was able to rebel against his father and stand on their side, so their direction of travel would be here.
And the other direction is led by Shinna Tadamoto, who goes to Bungo to find Shimazu Iehisa.
"Go! Go in and tell you the lord of the city! Let's just say we're coming! Liver Fu Kanemori walked up to Ashigaru, who was guarding the door, and ordered loudly.
At this time, the two ashigaru were already stunned, and they couldn't understand how the usually high-ranking samurai could be so embarrassed, and they were awakened by this roar: "Oh, the villain is going, the villain is going!" ”
Stompe... Stompe... Suddenly, there was a sound in the distance.
"Huh? Anyone else? Ashigaru, who was about to go back to report the news, looked strangely at the avenue, where a large area of Ashigaru appeared.
"It turned out to be in the back..."The ashigaru obviously mistook this for the samurai-sama's match, after all, these people were all important ministers of the Shimazu family, how could they not have a large number of attendants to follow.
"Huh? Yes? Thin... Hosokawa! "Masanenu Kamada, who was lying on the ground, jumped up as soon as he took off.
"It's... How is this possible..."Liver Fu Kanesheng was also stunned, completely puzzled, how could they still be caught up by the infantry if they were hurrying overnight? Could it be that it fell from the sky?
"Quick! Come on! They came from the sea! Shimazu was the first to react, and immediately turned over and prepared to continue running. Hosokawa Ashigaru came not all the way to them, but from the direction of the port.
Hiss... As a result, as soon as he got on the horse, he screamed miserably when he got off the horse, and fell to the ground, seeing that it was no longer possible.
Boom! "Oops!" Shimazu was also thrown to the ground on all fours, and it was really unclear.
"Quick! Come on! "Liver Fu Jiansheng didn't care about riding a horse anymore, he spread his feet and ran, and the others were also in a mess.
"Huh?" Ashigaru, who was guarding the door, hadn't figured out the situation yet, and watched so many samurai adults in front of him throw away their armor and run away regardless of their faces, as if they had encountered a ghost.
"Don't be stunned, you two! Pull me up! Shimazu sat on the ground with a painful expression on his lower back, where he was knocked by the stiff scabbard on his waist as he landed.
"Oh, oh." The two of them hurriedly went up to help Shimazu for a long time.
"Quick! Go tell Yihu! The Hosokawa family invaded and made him close the city gates! Defend it! Go ahead! As soon as he stood up, Shimazu urged for a long time, and he limped to find a war horse to ride.
"Huh?" The two of them were startled, and then looked at the murderous Ashigaru in the distance, and suddenly realized, and ran to the city with a lot of urine.
"Close! Shut the door! Damn it! Shimazu saw that they were reckless, and ran in without even closing the door, and stomped his feet in a hurry.
"Assault!" There was a loud shout in the distance, and it was obviously the Hosokawa army that had launched a charge.
"Oh!" Hundreds of Hosokawa Ashigaru were in high spirits and rushed over with a howl.
"Let's go!" Without much consequence, Shimazu rode with a samurai and led the remaining samurai to flee north.
"Kill!" Hosokawa Ashigaru killed, and a small number of people chased after him, and most of them rushed directly into the wide open gate.
"Ugh!" "Ahh The defenders in the city were caught off guard, and were immediately chased and cut by Hosokawa Ashigaru like a chicken and a dog.
Stompe... Stompe... A low-ranking samurai quickly ran into the Honmaru, rushed to the outside of the house where the lord lived, and shouted, "My lord! Lord! It's a big deal! ”
With a bang, the door was rudely opened, and Shimazu Yoshitora stood there in civilian clothes.
"What a fuss! What a system! Shimazu Yoshitora reprimanded sharply, he had just gotten up and was having breakfast, when he was interrupted by the voice of the male duck, and he was very unhappy.
"The lord is not good! Hosokawa... The Hosokawa Army is coming! The warrior ran profusely and said hurriedly.
"Hosokawa Army? Uh-hahaha! Saburo Ban, I'm afraid you're not stupid, aren't you? The Hosokawa family is far away in Kyoto! Even if it is to send troops to Kyushu, I'm afraid it will be thousands of miles away! No kidding! "Shimazu Yoshitora doesn't believe it at all, he can be said to be an absolute rear here, not to mention that there are tens of thousands of troops on the front line, how can he come over without any warning.
"It's... It's true! He... They're in! Lord, hurry up and make plans early! Sakazaburo didn't believe it at first when he heard the report from the gatekeeper Ashigaru, but when he saw the fierce Hosokawa Ashigaru pouring into the castle, he couldn't help but believe it.
"What? Are you telling the truth? This is no joke! Yoshitora Shimazu confirmed again.
"Yes! It's true! Listen, my lord! They've already killed them! Saburo kept pointing fingers, signaling that the gaffe was urgent.
"Huh?" Shimazu Yoshitora frowned and listened carefully.
"Kill...!" Sure enough, the shouts outside gradually shook the sky, and the sound was getting closer and closer.
Shimazu Yoshitoka's face changed, and when he turned around, he went back to the house and picked up the sword on the knife holder, and he didn't have time to put on his armor, so he ran out wearing clogs.
As soon as I came to the precincts of Honmaru, I heard a sound of duang, and the door of Honmaru was smashed open, and a well-equipped ashigaru poured in.
"Huh?" Shimazu Yoshitora really saw it, and on the flag behind Ashigaru, it was indeed a member of the Hosokawa family!
