Chapter 107: Defend Against a Powerful Enemy

In the city of the west tail, the Kukai of the Honshoji Temple, who already knew the plan of the road, after shouting, didn't care about Natsume Yoshishin turning the horse's head and wanted to get out of the city, but it was easy to enter the city, but if he wanted to get out, it would be extremely difficult.

When he turned back, he saw that the gates had been closed by Ashigaru on both sides. Now it can really be described as having no way into heaven and no door to the earth.

Seeing that there was no hope of escaping, Kukai couldn't help but plead to Watanabe Moritsuna: "Crossing... Watanabe-sama, for the sake of the usual sect of the sect on weekdays, please put it on the next life path. I promise that I will not be an enemy of adults in the future, what do I think? ”

Watanabe Shougang Ha Lu Ha Da laughed, and said disdainfully: "Hmph, I was deceived by the Yizong before, and now I have been awakened by the lord, you thief bald, you don't take your life." After saying that, he took the gun straight to the temple Kukai.

The temple was so hard that he was stabbed in the heart by a shot, and he couldn't live.

And after Natsume Yoshinobu entered the city, he had already understood, and seeing that the Honshoji Temple Kukai who entered the city with him had been killed, he eagerly came up with a solution, that is, to surrender to the other party first, and after he joined forces with his subordinate Ashigaru, it was not too late to take revenge.

His idea was good, but he didn't expect that the clan had already issued a killing order to him, not because he had offended the clan, but because, if a third-rate samurai like him was accepted as a retainer, it would be tantamount to wasting the family's money, if he let it go, after he was pacified, he would get Matsudaira Motoyasu's understanding and return to his command, in this case, how could the clan watch the Matsudaira family grow stronger? It's useless to collect it, and you can't put it away, so Natsume Yoshinobu will only have a dead end.

Seeing that the matter had come to this, Natsume Yoshinobu hurriedly threw away the spear in his hand and hurriedly said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I am willing to pledge my allegiance to Takayama-sama, and please ......."

Before he could finish speaking, Maeda Toshiya shouted loudly: "My lord wants your head to be useful, bring the head." ”

After speaking, he brandished a spear and stabbed it at Natsume Yoshinobu, as the so-called people die for money, birds die for food, and Natsume Yoshinobu died on the word Li.

After easily obtaining Natsume Yoshinobu, Maeda Toshiya immediately cut off his head and handed it to Watanabe Moruna, who did not talk nonsense, and walked quickly to the city wall with more than 100 neatly dressed flags with his head.

The 600 troops outside the castle, seeing that the gate of the castle had been closed as soon as the lord entered the castle, and hearing the roar of the Honshoji Kukai from inside, he knew that under the command of another samurai outside the castle, these ashigaru were about to attack the castle and rescue Natsume Yoshinobu. But at this moment, suddenly hundreds of elite ashigaru appeared on the city wall, they were armed with iron cannons, and the cold muzzles of their guns were aimed at themselves.

Watanabe Moritsuna threw the head of the man in his hand out of the city and shouted: "Natsume Yoshinobu has been taken, and if there is a thief, there will be no forgiveness." As soon as the words fell, I saw a burst of fire from the mouth of the iron cannon, and at the same time, with a deafening sound and gunsmoke, more than a dozen peasant soldiers fell in a pool of blood.

Not to mention the peasant soldiers outside the city, even the leading samurai had never seen such a might, and at this moment, he didn't care about the military situation behind him, so he ran back.

Seeing that the enemy was scattered, Maeda Toshiie gathered the iron spur cavalry defending the city as fast as he could, mounted his horse and went out of the city in pursuit. After chasing him out of the mile, he saw that the enemy had fled in all directions, so he led his army back unhappily. If he had done what he wanted, he should have killed all these enemy troops.

After cleaning up the battlefield, it didn't take long for Wasuka Masakatsu to bring back the news of the attack on Rokukuri Castle, and after listening to the ninja's report, the clan was overjoyed, and while holding a feast in the city to reward the army, he sent someone to report the victory to Nobunaga.

And at this moment, Oda Nobunaga, since returning to the army, launched a fierce attack on the power of the sect in the territory of Owari, and the Oda army was like a bamboo, and everywhere it passed, the rebellious force was wiped out. …,

Because Owari has already implemented the sword hunting order, although there have always been tens of thousands of people, but among the tens of thousands of rioters, in addition to more than 2,000 monks and soldiers, the rest of the peasant soldiers have weapons in addition to bamboo guns and wooden sticks, and there is no armor protection on their bodies, how can they be the opponent of the Oda family flag, all those who encounter Oda Nobunaga's army, there is no suspense at the touch of collapse, there is no suspense at all.

Nobunaga saw that the enemy was so vulnerable, so he immediately decided to divide his army into four, in addition to leading an army in Aichi and Chita two counties, and continuing to exterminate the mobs, Shibata Katsuie led an army to attack Kaidong and Kaisai two counties, Niwa Nagahide, Niwa and Sakauri two counties, and Sakuma Nobumori was responsible for exterminating the mobs in the remaining two counties.

A few days later, Nobunaga heard the news that the Takayama clan had burned down the temple, and he was very happy, he was having a headache about how to solve the problem of the Honsho sect once and for all, but now the clan sect has sent him a solution, as long as the temple is bulldozed, the Owari Issho sect will become a rootless duckweed, so that the Owari Ichikoku will no longer have a problem in the future. Thinking of this, Nobunaga slapped his thigh and immediately issued an order to burn down all the temples of Ichijomune.

Unlike Mikawa, Owari was one of the few richest places in the world, and Nobunaga was generous in rewarding, so few of the Oda family's retainers believed in Isōmune, and his order was quickly carried out, and in less than a month, the Ichijo Ichō in Owari was basically pacified.

However, Nobunaga was not satisfied with this, and the main culprit of this time, Ise Kanshoji Temple, was still at large, which Nobunaga would never allow.

After Owari had just been pacified, Nobunaga shifted his attention to the temple at the junction of Owari and Ise, and Nobunaga personally led 3,000 troops to the temple after leaving 2,000 troops to continue to exterminate the domain.

Honganji Temple confirmed that the Oda army was very large and well-equipped, and he knew that he could not resist it by relying only on the mountain gate of Kanshoji Temple, so as soon as he heard the news that Nobunaga had waved his army to Ise and went straight to Kanshoji Temple, he immediately led more than 1,000 monks and soldiers to retreat to Nagashima Castle, and while arranging defenses, he sought reinforcement from the wealthy clan Setsu who had befriended Lun in northern Ise.

The wealthy clans of Northern Ise are closer to Owari, so the elite of the Oda army in Zhilu Province did not plan to wade into this troubled water, but they still understood the truth of cold lips and teeth.

Oda Nobunaga led an army of 3,000 to attack this time, although it was ostensibly to attack the temple, but if the temple was breached, it is unknown whether Nobunaga would do anything to them.

However, they knew in their hearts that in this era, no one would think that their territory was large, and if they did not unite to resist now, it would be too late for the Oda army to resist even if they tried to resist after the Oda army captured the temple. So although they were a little reluctant, they had no choice but to abandon their grudges and unite to resist in order to keep their family name. ……,
