With Oda Nobunaga's question, the scene dropped sharply by ten degrees, and even the world ghost Masato, who had been licking blood on the knife all year round, couldn't help but shiver.

"Back to the lord, my subordinates don't know, but judging from the situation at the scene, it seems unlikely." Shigui Zhengdong thought for a while and decided to tell the truth.

"Oh? Why? "For this ninja who has served the Oda family for two generations, Oda Nobunaga still trusts him very much.

"First of all, it's true that Lord Hosokawa was poisoned and injured, although it is not serious, but if it is a bitter meat plan, why do you need to poison it? Poison, no matter how small the poison is, will kill people. Therefore, the subordinates think that the injury can be fake, but the poison must be real, and this is one of them. ”

"Second, there are only two ninjas left in Hosokawa-sama's guards, one of whom is still poisoned and his life and death unknown, and this person is said to be the ninja leader of the Hosokawa family. It's reasonable to give up one or two ninjas for the sake of bitterness, but giving up so many people, and having a leader who leads the ninjas? The subordinates thought it was impossible. ”

"Well, go on." Oda Nobunaga nodded, he thought to himself that he couldn't do this, and if he gave up the ninja leader, it would be equivalent to giving up the entire ninja organization.

"Yes! Third, many of the people who died in this battle were close attendants of Hosokawa-sama, the most famous being Konishi Rukiyo, Yoshida Shigetsuna and others. "The close attendants can be regarded as the close servants who are trained for the future, and each daimyo will give priority to his own close servants when selecting talents, and this is true of the Takeda family, and the same is true of the Oda family.

"Got it, you can go down." Oda Nobunaga waved his hand, signaling that Seki Masato could step back.

"In that case... I don't care who you are! Want to get away from me? There are no doors! Shuichi! Suddenly, Oda Nobunaga's eyes were like torches, and his face was red, like a god of fire who was about to become angry.

"My lord! What do you command? Shuichi Hasegawa trotted in from outside, lying on the ground ready to listen to the lord's instructions.

"Blow up the conch now! The whole army is out of battle! I'm going to take Kotani Castle myself! Command the monkeys again! Search for the people who escaped from the city last night along the way! Be sure to live to meet people! Death to see the corpse! "Oda Nobunaga Huo Ran got up, and the general attack began!

"Kill!" The Oda army, which spread across the mountains, attacked the last stronghold of Otani Castle: Honmaru.

"Archery! Archery! Stone! Stone me! Haibei Tsunami, one of the "Three Generals of the Sea Red Rain" of the Asai family, led the defenders to attack the Oda army with bows, arrows, and stones on the city wall, trying to suppress the enemy. But in the face of the numerous Oda troops, resistance was already futile, and the gates of Honmaru were quickly breached.

"The time has come to be faithful to the Lord! Kill! "Haibei Tsunade personally held a sword and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the Oda army.

"Drink!" He hacked another Oda samurai to death, and with a poof, he was shot in the shoulder.

"Ahh Die! Haibei Tsunade personally stabbed back and cut off the enemy's head. Immediately afterward, two more Oda ashishi attacked him and stabbed him in the left side with two pops.

"Drink!" The two ashigaru exerted their strength, poked Haibei Tsunade and fell backwards, and pushed him against the wall with a bang.

"Wow!" Hai Bei Tsunade vomited blood from his own mouth, and the veteran in his sixties was finally outnumbered, and was once again poked by several spears and nailed to the wall.

"Kill! Never back! Fight with them! Akao Kiyotsuna shouted loudly, fighting on the front line, the Oda army had already rushed into the Honmaru, and the two sides started a fierce white-knuckle battle with each other.

"Ahh A Ashigaru Asashi howled, jumped with two Oda Ashigaru in his arms, and fell down the mountain together.

"Die!" A samurai was hit by several arrows, but he still slashed to death one enemy after another, and finally died of exhaustion.

"Kill!" Akao Kiyotsuna's face was covered in blood, his right arm was already starting to ache, and he didn't know how many enemies he had hacked to death.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

At this time, Asai Nagamasa was dressed in white, sitting in the Akawei House, and the shouts of killing outside were getting closer and closer, even if there was a desperate resistance from the most loyal to the Asai family, it still couldn't prevent the fall of the Asai family.

"Zhengyuan, please." Asai Nagamasa picked up his beloved Wakicha and stroked the crystal clear blade with his fingertips.

"Yes! Rest assured, do you need to leave a message of your death? "Asai Masamoto is also ready to serve as the wrong person for Nagamasa.

"Resignation? Already... There is..."Asai Nagamasa remembered a screen in the room, and the words written on it were written by his handwriting.

The Buddha travels, the disaster is unbearable, the country is rich and the people are safe, and the soldiers are useless.

This is a sentence from the "Buddha Says Amitayus Sutra", "Soldiers are useless" is the ideal world in Asai Nagamasa's heart, which is contrary to Oda Nobunaga's "world Buwu", maybe this is the reason why he finally chose Asakura, and it is not just for a righteous word.

Blood... Stained Kotani Castle red... Dye the Honmaru red... Dyed red... Akao Ya O, Asai Nagamasa committed suicide at the age of twenty-eight, a year earlier than in history. His younger brother Asai Masamoto also committed suicide after settling Asai Nagamasa's body.

"Lord, ah!!" Akao Kiyotsuna, who was covered in scars, was overwhelmed with grief when he learned that Asai Nagamasa had committed suicide, and fainted on the spot due to excessive blood loss, and was captured alive by Shibata Katsuie and others.

The Asai army was leaderless, killed in battle or fled, and Otani Castle was finally taken by the Oda army, and the Asai family of Omi Province was wiped out in the long river of history.

"Lord, our army has won a great victory, the Asai Hall committed suicide, Asai Masagen was martyred, and the important minister Akao Kiyotsuna and others were captured, please publicize it." Niwa Nagahide respectfully reported the battle situation to Oda Nobunaga.

"Bring them all!" Oda Nobunaga had a gloomy face, he had already learned from the mouth of the general that the young master of the Asai family, Manfukumaru, was no longer in the city, and he must have been the one who escaped last night.

"Let's go!" Akao Kiyozuna and the others were brought up by the five flowers.

"This is Kiyotsuna Akao? Will you bring me down? Oda Nobunaga saw a veteran in the crowd, and he also heard about the deeds of Akao Kiyotsuna, and wanted to recover this "civil, military and loyal" samurai.

"I'm very sorry, I just want to die quickly, so that I can go underground and follow the lord below, and I implore Lord Danzheng to do it!" Akao Kiyotsuna is very sad, he has served the Asai family for three generations, and he is determined to follow Asai Nagamasa.

"Huh? Danzheng-sama! I am willing to die for my father! Please play the masa-sama to complete! As soon as he heard that his father was going to commit suicide, he quickly pleaded for mercy and wanted to be loyal to his father.

"Bastard! What's up to you here! Get out of the way! Danzheng-sama! Please be sure to fulfill your wishes! "Akawei Kiyotsuna's old tears are full of tears, which makes people can't help but feel sad.

"Good! I allow you to depart with the noblest death of a samurai! Your son will be right for you and inherit your Akao family's loyalty! As for the others? Hmph, they don't deserve to live in this world! All martyrs! Oda Nobunaga was also impressed by the loyal qualities of Akao Kiyotsuna, and compared to this loyal minister, the subordinates who abandoned the Asai family at the last moment were extraordinarily small. Enraged, Oda Nobunaga rejected their submission and forced the disloyal to be martyred.

"Huh? Spare your life! Danzheng-sama! Spare your life! Hidetoshi Onoki begged, and was dragged out like a dead dog.

"Kinoshita-sama! Where's Kinoshita-sama! That's not what you say! Spare your life, Tama Zheng! "Asai Igui, the traitor who opened the city gate, was also dragged out.

At this time, Kinoshita Hideyoshi was in a thatched house in Yuwu Lake, and in front of his eyes, it was already empty.
