Chapter 678: Kii Province Blitz (2)
Saga Castle has always been the residence of the leaders of the Saga clan for generations, and today, it is also the residence of Satsuo Suzuki, the governor of the Suzuki family. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
At this time, it was late at night, and two ashigaru outside Saga Castle were standing on the castle tower, they were the guards in charge of night surveillance. Speaking of which, this kind of night surveillance is not so easy to do, because most of the time it is uneventful. And people, obviously, it is difficult to maintain a new state of vigilance every day, such as now.
The two guards leaned on the stakes next to them, chatting very casually. Beside them, two huge braziers not only illuminated their surroundings, but also brought them a touch of warmth, although the weather was not so cold now.
"Brother Hyonosuke, do you know why the boss left us and joined Oda Yoshinobu?" One of them asked curiously. As he spoke, his eyes didn't look out of the city at all. How so? I don't know how many years I've been watching, what else is there to see?
In the past, you might have to beware of the attack of Genraiji Temple or other mercenary forces, but now that all the mercenary forces of the entire Kii Province have fallen to Honganji, there is naturally nothing to watch out for.
The man known as Hunosuke looked to be in his 30s, and his entire left hand was gone. It can be seen that he has experienced a very painful war. And now he is a janitor, maybe because he is no longer able to go to the battlefield......
At this time, he quietly looked at the brazier on the side, only to see that in the brazier, the flame was burning with firewood, constantly making a crackling sound, and from time to time, he could hear the wolf howl from the forest next to him.
I don't know why, hearing these voices made Hyunosuke a little inexplicably irritable, and he leaned on the stake and complained angrily, "How can we soldiers below know about this kind of thing?" You kid better be honest and be vigilant! ”
Hearing this, the doorman immediately posted it, "Brother Bing Zhisuke, you can talk about it~ Who doesn't know that you were the most pretentious soldier under the boss~" He kept patting his ass, but looking at his expression, he might have said it with a heart. After all, in this era, scars undoubtedly represent a person's strength.
Well? Can a broken arm be considered strength? Of course~ Imagine, a person who has a severed arm on the battlefield can still survive, isn't this also a skill?
Maybe it's because I'm annoyed by this blind kid, or I'm comforted by a sycophant. In the end, Hyunosuke couldn't help but talk about it, well, in fact, he himself likes to be asked about it very much, because for him who is no longer able to go to the battlefield, bragging about the days when he fought with Shigehide Suzuki in the past is his favorite thing.
The two of them spoke and listened to each other, and the constantly flickering firelight illuminated the silent night. Suddenly, two wind-breaking sounds came, followed by "Poof! The two of them fell in response. At the last moment of his life, Hyunosuke saw in a trance that countless black shadows were rapidly approaching this side outside the city.
"Smack!" Two faint sounds were heard, and then two men wrapped in darkness were seen rushing up the city walls from outside the city. They came to Hyunosuke's side and examined them, then looked at each other and nodded, before disappearing into the night again.
In a moment, the army arrived at the foot of Saga Castle, and at the same time, the gates of Saga Castle were slowly opened. The people who opened the door were the two ninjas just now. I have to say that the defense of Saga Castle is really poor, or almost undefended.
"Attack!" The man at the head of the man with a huge spear shouted in a deep voice, but it was Honda Tadakatsu. And with his order, the Oda army behind him immediately rushed into Saga Castle like a swarm. In less than a moment, firelight, screams, and curses resounded in Saga Castle.
"Honda-sama!" A voice sounded from behind Tadakatsu Honda, but it was Shigehide Suzuki. On this expedition, Shigehide Suzuki specially asked Oda Yoshinobu to let him accompany the army to attack Saga Castle, not for anything else, but to persuade his father in the end.
In this regard, Oda Yoshinobu agreed after thinking about it for a while. Because he saw a hint of determination in Shigehide Suzuki's eyes. Clearly, Shigehide Suzuki seems to have made up some sort of determination.
Honda Tadakatsu stared at Suzuki Shigehide, about this kid, Honda Tadakatsu had naturally heard of it. "Chongxiu, many things in the troubled times cannot be satisfactorily resolved. So if you can't help it, leave it to me. Honda said as he patted Shigehide Suzuki on the shoulder.
For Suzuki Shigehide, he is neither familiar with nor trusting much, but since Oda Yoshinobu chooses to trust, then Honda Tadashi will definitely not doubt it.
"Please rest assured! If my father has already made up his mind, I will personally act as my father's advisor! Shigehide Suzuki said in a deep voice.
"Alas......" Seeing Suzuki Shigehide's determined gaze, Honda Tadakatsu didn't say anything more, just waved his hand and signaled him to go.
Inside the castle, the residence of Sata Suzuki.
The commotion outside quickly woke up Sata Suzuki, and after hearing the report from his subordinates, he suddenly got up in a panic, and he didn't even have time to put on his armor, and rushed out with a knife.
"How so?!" When Suzuki Satsuo saw the Oda army outside surrounded his mansion, Suzuki Satsuo closed his mouth in surprise, he really didn't understand how Oda Yoshinobu's troops appeared here unconsciously.
What puzzled him even more was that after these Oda troops surrounded their mansions, they had no intention of attacking. Can't get in? Satsuo Suzuki himself didn't believe it. In this way, it seems that there is only ......
"Shigetsu ......" The encirclement of the Oda army slowly separated, and Satsuo Suzuki saw a familiar figure appear in his eyes.
"Alas, Chongxiu, you're still too naïve. Sure enough, our people can only be mercenaries forever? Sata Suzuki thought helplessly. However, he still ordered the Ashigaru who were still resisting to stop resisting, and in fact, when the Oda army entered the city, the outcome of the war was already sealed.
"Father, ......," Shigehide Suzuki shouted softly as he walked up to Satsuo Suzuki. It's just that before the rest of the words were spoken, they were stopped by Sata Suzuki.
"Come in with me......," Satsuo Suzuki said lightly, then turned around and walked into the mansion.
Seeing this, Shigehide Suzuki did not hesitate and followed directly. I don't know how long it took, but Shigehide Suzuki, who was full of tears but had extremely firm eyes, slowly walked out holding the head of Sata Suzuki.
