Chapter 313: A Helpless Move (Today's First Recommendation)
Chapter 313 Helpless Move (Today's First Recommendation)
In the past few days, whether it is a samurai or a light banner, the subordinates of the Gaoshan clan have been suffocated, if it were in normal times, they would not have slaughtered these unarmed monks, but now they don't want to give these monks in front of them a way to live, especially the two cavalry teams of scimitars and fine armor, first launched a surprise attack on those monks who were fleeing, and used horse kicks to harvest their lives. After they couldn't move, they used the weapons in their hands to continue to send them back to the west.
As long as the monks and soldiers fled from the direction of the two cavalry rushes, none of them survived.
Suddenly, the screams outside the temple were endless, nearly a hundred monks had been slaughtered, Sugitani Zenjubo did not expect that before he launched an attack, the enemy would flee from the temple, so he was a little caught off guard, and the range of the iron cannon was very limited, if he ordered his subordinates to shoot now, it would be too late, so, he hurriedly ordered the iron cannon Ashigaru to pull out the iron thorn on his waist and launched an attack on the enemy, however, because the iron cannon Ashigaru was also on foot, so, although they worked hard to slaughter, but, Eventually, a few monks escaped.
The monks in the temple also sat in the main hall and chanted the sutras as before, so that the Takayama army easily occupied the temple without encountering any resistance.
I saw Maeda Toshiya walking in the front, and the other two Takayama family retainers and Hori Hidemasa followed behind, and behind them there were dozens of flags Ashigaru.
Maeda Toshiya and the others were ready to fight, but as soon as he entered the main hall, he found that the dozens of monks in front of him were not ready to fight with him at all, but all sat there cross-legged, without even turning their heads.
Maeda Toshiya and the others walked up to the Honganji badge and asked, "This temple has been occupied by the Takayama Army, so you can choose a way to die." ”
I only heard the Honganji Temple Badge calmly say: "This seat and others are willing to be ashes with the Wishing Temple." Then he closed his eyes and said no more.
"The enemy of the Buddha Gaoshan Clan will be sent to heaven, no, ah......" After hearing this, a monk scolded loudly, but before he could finish speaking, he was cut off by a fine armor banner ashigaru.
Now that the task has been successfully completed, Maeda Toshiya and the others are not willing to talk nonsense with them, so they only heard him say: "Quickly take the things that cause fire and send them on the road." ”
With the fire of the temple, the clan also left the area with his army, and went outside Nagashima Castle to join the Oda army and wait for new orders.
Three days later, the rolling wood and stones in Nagashima Castle were once again consumed, but in this short dozen days of fighting, the Oda family had lost more than 2,000 casualties, of which the number of dead ashigaru had reached 800, so Honganji Testimony wanted to continue to hold on for some time.
According to his thoughts, the Oda family is now considered to have suffered heavy casualties, I am afraid that as long as he holds on for a few more days, the Oda family will withdraw because they can't bear such losses, so that even if Nagashima Castle is saved, it stands to reason that no matter who is strong, as long as the casualties exceed 20%, then the morale of the army under his command is low, and the combat power is greatly reduced, and it is very likely that it will be directly dispersed if it is serious, so Honganji testifies that he wants to hold on for a while longer, and wait for the enemy to have to retreat.
But he forgot that the Oda family ashigaru was not only well-equipped, but this will to fight was not comparable to the ashigaru of other families under the brainwashing of the Eight Slashing Method.
It can be said that under the influence of the Eight Slashing Method, the Oda family Ashigaru can basically put obedience to orders in the first place, unless it is to cause the Oda army to lose more than half of its combat strength, it will be possible to hit their morale, otherwise, it is not necessary to use this method to force the Oda family to retreat. …,
Although Honganji has forgotten this matter, Saito Ryuko, who is also in the city, remembers it lightly. Since all the buildings in Nagashima Castle except for the castle tower and warehouses have been demolished, even Saito Ryuko can only live in tents.
At this moment, the night is already deep, but the tent of Saito Ryuxing is still lit up, these two days, you have been hesitating, seeing that the rolling wood and stones in Nagashima City have been used up again, even if he is stupid, he also knows that this Nagashima City is not far from being breached, but if this place is really broken by the Oda army, then he must not be able to escape the fate of death, what should I do, Saito Ryuxing does not want to die yet, but he can't think of a way to save his life at all, and finally plans to invite Karumi Mitsuken to discuss.
After a short time, I saw Light Sea Koxian walk in from outside, and as soon as he sat down, he only heard Saito Ryuxing and asked impatiently: "It seems that this Nagashima Castle will be broken by the Oda army in a short time, so that the family will become a martyr for this city, how is this good, I don't know what you can do to help the family get through the difficulties?" ”
Now, Karumi Mitsuken has nothing to scruple about, and now he only has one thought in his heart, that is, to keep the lord from any harm, and to keep the Saito family from being destroyed, although this may make him lose face, but it is really nothing compared to keeping the lord and keeping the name of the Saito family.
I only heard him say unabashedly: "Back to the lord, my subordinates think that if you want to keep the Saito family alive, then you can only return to the Oda family, and ask the lord to decide." ”
After hearing this, Saito Ryuxing couldn't help but tremble in his heart, it can be said that he was full of fear for Oda Nobunaga, and in his heart, Oda Nobunaga was like a demon king.
Although he is still related to Oda Nobunaga, he can even kill his own brother, and he has always been against him. Thinking of this, Saito Ryuko voiced his worries.
I only heard Light Sea Guangxian lowered his voice and said: "The lord doesn't have to worry, if the lord leaves empty-handed like this, of course not, but if you give Oda Nobunaga a big gift, I'm afraid that the other party will not only not embarrass the lord, but maybe he will forgive the lord regardless of his previous suspicions." ”
Saito Ryuxing listened to the great joy and hurriedly asked, "Tell me quickly, what is this gift?" ”
I saw that Kazumi Mitsuken did not say it directly, but stood up, first looked out of the tent, and after confirming that no one was eavesdropping, he returned to Saito Ryuxing and whispered: "Lord, the subordinate's method is to open the city gate with his subordinates when the Oda army attacks the city tomorrow, and after the Oda army enters, the lord will return to obedience. ”
After listening to Fuji Longxing, he couldn't help but say excitedly: "Good way, act according to this plan tomorrow, you go and inform the other retainers immediately, but you must let them not show the news." ”
"Yes, my subordinates will do it." After speaking, Qinghai Guangxian walked out quickly.
