When the sun rose in the middle of July 22 in the first year of Tensho (1560), the castle was so quiet that there was no sound of crying, and it was obvious that it had already been mentally prepared, and the closed gate of Okatofu was also opened under the gaze of thousands of people. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Gangfeng City Lord Changzong Ibu Yuan was dressed in white and did not carry any weapons, and slowly walked out of the city gate with his head bowed. Behind him was Yoshida Takayori, also dressed in white, with a sword and ribs around his waist, and a group of retainers. Other than that, all the soldiers were separated from each other and were not allowed to come closer.

In order to prevent accidents, Doi Soyama replaced all the troops on the front line with an army, and a total of more than 1,000 soldiers and soldiers of the army had already controlled the racecourse in front of the outer city gate, and the surrounding houses and buildings were also under the control of the first army.

Toi Soyama sat on the earthen platform at one end of the racecourse with more than 30 relatives, and on his left side sat Tsuno Dingkatsu, Kataoka Shigemitsu, Satake Yoshiyuki and others, and on the right side sat Aki Kunihu, Motoyama Shigeranturi, Xiangzong Ibu Taiji and others, each with more than ten relatives and guards.

Although An Yi Guohu, Motoyama Maochen, Xiangzong Ibu Taiji and others were unwilling, but the situation was stronger than people, they had to lower their heads, and Doi Soshan looked at the group of people who were slowly coming, and whispered to Tsuno Dingkatsu beside him.

Tsuno Dingsheng nodded, and walked towards the group, he wanted to see if it was really the head of the long sect, and when he got closer, he saw that the original high-spirited head of the head of the long sect was quite calm, he did not sneer, and returned to the earth platform with a sigh.

He knelt on the ground in full view of everyone, took the short blade from the hand of one of his attendants, and at the same time greeted the people on the earthen platform with a great salute.

Doju Zongshan and others did not shy away from it, some sighed gloomily, some were resentful, some were calm and indifferent, and so on.

Changzong and my Yuan Qin raised his head, and his calm eyes showed hatred for the first time, like a poisonous snake, but he quickly gloomed and shouted loudly: "After the sin minister Wei Zong and the courtier of Changzong and my department, the twenty-first generation of the young auxiliary Yuan relatives in the palace are not good, and they are willing to protect the whole city with their own lives. ”

After Changzong and my relatives finished speaking, they knelt down again, and the whole process was extremely deferential.

Then, the head of the Nagazong I department opened his chest to reveal his white chest and abdomen, looking at the short knife in his hand, his eyes were full of solemnity, and behind him, Yoshida Takayori was holding the sword and ready to do a good job of intersecting mistakes.

Doi Zongshan and the others looked at the scene in front of them, all of them were a little moved, but no one got up, obviously such a scene is not uncommon in their lives, and similarly, if they fail, their fate will be the same as that of the head of the sect of Changzong.

The head of the Changzong clan looked at the short knife in front of him and said in a low voice, "Okay?" ”

No one answered his question, but he didn't stab it, his eyes became more and more anxious, Changzong and my head relatives frequently looked in the direction of the earth platform, and the movements in his hands were slow to act, and Yoshida Takayo behind him didn't know the true intentions of Changzong and my head relatives, and he couldn't take the initiative to urge.

Sitting on the earthen platform, there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, and he sneered at the people beside him: "It seems that the so-called ghost Ruozi is also afraid of becoming a ghost?!" Let people urge him, how long will it take to go on like this? ”

Maochen took the initiative to ask: "My lord, let me urge him?!" ”

Doi Zongshan smiled faintly: "But! ”

Benshan Maochen staggered to his feet, with a vicious smile on his face, he could finally humiliate the head of the Changzong in front of him, watching him die in front of him, he was just about to walk down the steps, he heard the earth platform suddenly shake, stunned, and then heard two loud noises, the earth platform suddenly burst open, more than 30 people all exploded into the sky, and when they fell from the sky again, there were heavy casualties. Of course, the explosives of this era were not as powerful.

The guards who had been near the earthen platform suddenly exploded, and they all stepped forward to look for their master through the rubble, but it was obvious that all they found was a scarred corpse, and even if it was not dead, it was only a breath or two.

When these guards wanted to take revenge again, they saw that the head relatives of the Changzong and our tribe had already stood up and rushed towards Okayama Castle.

Yoshida Takayori, who followed the head of the Changzong department, also had no extra expression, and he was not much surprised, he didn't know the plan of the head of the head of the long sect, but two days was enough time for him to understand the other party's thoughts, but he didn't expect that the head of Fukuru was personally in charge of the matter.

How to make Tuju Zongshan and others throw themselves into the net has become the only flaw in the plan of Changzong and my Yuanqin, then it can explain the actions of Changzong and my Yuanqin to open the city and surrender, seppuku and apologize, all of this is his strategy, the racecourse in the outer city is open enough, and the choice of noon is the hottest time of the day, and if you want to come to watch the ceremony at this time, you can only choose a wide field of vision, and the earthen platform with a shading wooden pavilion is the only choice, as he expected.

The gunpowder exploded, the earthen platform in the center of the explosion completely collapsed, the wooden pavilion collapsed and suppressed everyone, almost instantly turned into a pile of rubble, and the people watching the ceremony inside also suffered heavy casualties, none of them were spared, and Toi Soshan and others, who were sitting in the middle, were killed on the spot.

When the head of the Changzong clan ran into Gangfeng City, he saw Fuliu Qinzheng crawling out of the tunnel with a disgraced face covered in blood, and only three people crawled out of him, and the rest were all buried inside, and the latter cried: "Lord, the four brothers did not escape. ”

The head of the Changzong clan maintained enough calmness and ordered, "Now is the time for us to fight back!" Blow the horn, everyone, wait for me! ”

Changzong's army, which had been preparing for a long time, took advantage of the fact that the enemy was leaderless, and under the order of Changzong's relatives, the city gate was opened again, and four or five hundred people were killed outside the city. The head of the Changzong clan rushed to the front and waved the spear in his hand, shouting: "Kill!" ”

The soldiers behind shouted in unison: "Kill! ”

Changzong was the first to storm the racecourse, and the soldiers behind him were like tigers descending from the mountain, holding their weapons high, roaring like thunder, carrying the momentum of thunder, and they killed into the enemy's chaotic array without hesitation.

The leaders of the coalition army were all killed, and they fell apart in an instant, scattering like a tidal wave.

Changzong's ancestor yelled: "Fight back!" (To be continued.) )
