Chapter 695: Bad News Comes

Just as he was saying this, two heavily armed imperial insiders rushed to the front of Hojo Shizong, knelt down breathlessly and said: "Lord Ruling Power, the weapons of the Song army are extremely powerful, and the Sakaguchi of Kerakkuji Temple has suffered heavy casualties, Lord Shimura and Lord Shiguo have specially ordered us to ask Lord Ruling Power for help!" ”

Rao is Hojo Shizong had already prepared in his heart, and the three senior monks had no fear of Cheng Yue, and they couldn't help but be taken aback by this news!

Hojo Shizong was stunned and said: "But it's only been two hours since the battle, and you guys are defending according to the danger, how many casualties can be?" ”

The two imperial insiders said sadly: "Lord Ruling Authority, when we left, at least more than 10,000 of the 50,000 heavy soldiers had been killed or wounded, and Lord Shimura and Lord Shiguo barely supported it, I'm afraid it won't last long!" ”

Hojo Tokimune and the three eminent monks looked at each other in shock. Hojo Tokimune asked anxiously, "What about the casualties of the Song army?" ”

The two royal insiders said: "Stones and rolling wood can't hurt them, and they are not afraid of archery, the casualties of the Song army and the Yuan army are very small, and Lord Shimura and Lord Shiguo are helpless!" ”

Hojo Tokimune slammed his fist on the tatami mat and said angrily, "What the hell is going on with the weapons of the Song army? Is it really impossible to deal with it? ”

The two royal insiders wept and did not answer, and the three senior monks naturally did not speak. Before Hojo Tokizong could think clearly, two more imperial insiders rushed into the Yamanuchi Temple, threw themselves down in front of Hojo Tokizong, and said in a panic: "Lord Ruling Authority, the casualties of Kobukuro Sakaguchi are too great, Lord Tokibo and Lord Xianshi ordered us to ask Lord Ruling for help!" ”

Hojo Tokimune exclaimed, "What?! Can't you stand it? ”

The two imperial insiders complained: "The weapons of the Song army are too powerful, Lord Shifang and Lord Xianshi were caught off guard, no matter how desperately they fight, they can't resist it, the casualties are already nearly 10,000, I don't know how long they can hold on." ”

Hojo Shizong gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, but secretly said in his heart: Could it be that the Hojo clan has gone?

At this time, I heard someone rushing into the hall, and when they came to the front, there were still two royal insiders. Judging from their panicked behavior, there is no need to ask, and they know that fake makeup Sakaguchi is not optimistic.

The two were just about to speak, when Hojo Tokimune asked directly, "How many casualties are there in Sakaguchi with fake makeup?" ”

The two hurriedly replied: "More than 10,000 people! Just as he was about to say more, Hojo Tokimune waved his hand, and the two had to stop. In fact, they have already seen the first two groups of royal insiders, and they understand that it is useless to talk too much.

Hojo Tokimune's face was pale, and he thought hard for a long time, but he had no countermeasures, turned his head to look at the six imperial insiders, and said: "I only have 30,000 people left in Yamauchi Sakaguchi, and there are no more soldiers to send, so you go back and say so." ”

The six royal insiders had already expected this result, and they were not surprised when they heard this, and they bowed together: "Yes!" ”

Hojo Tokimune continued: "Don't keep retreating, but try to rush down and fight with the Song army and the Yuan army, hold as long as you can, and withdraw when you have to, and concentrate your forces to defend Yamauchi Sakakou." ”

The six imperial in-laws understood what Hojo Tokimune meant, that is, to ask their people from Sandao Sakaguchi to delay as much time as possible and consume the strength of the Song army and the Yuan army.

In other words, if you delay a little longer, the Hojo Tokijong will be exhausted, and the Hojo clan will be doomed!

The six royal insiders couldn't help but feel sad, looked at each other a few times, and bowed to Hojo Tokimune together: "Yes, let's go!" ”

Hojo Tokimune said lightly: "Thank you for your hard work." ”

"Don't dare." The six royal servants respectfully exited the Yamanuchi Hall, bowed to the other two sides, encouraged each other, and then turned away.

Anyone can see that this time, they will never see each other again!

Lanxi Daolong said: "It's time to arrange it, right?" ”

Hojo Tokimune gritted his teeth and said, "Yes." ”

Lanxi Daolong stood up and said, "In this way, we take our leave." ”

Hojo Shizong hurriedly got up and said, "Disciple send off master." ”

The three monks couldn't help much, and quickly left the mountain inner hall.

Hojo Tokimune summoned his retainers and ordered them to immediately pack up and move to Kasai Valley with the rest of the Hojo family.

The retainers had to be ordered to go and inform Hojo Soyori, and the Sagami Morifu suddenly became busy, and a cry could be faintly heard.

Hojo Tokimune didn't want to find out who was crying, shook his head slightly, and walked to the back house to find his relatives.

In the back house, Ryoko Ryoko, Zhuzi, Fangzi and other female relatives of Liangquan Ni had just heard that the war was unfavorable, and they were terrified, and gathered together to discuss their countermeasures.

As soon as Hojo Tokimune arrived, the women involuntarily closed their mouths and looked at him with expectant faces, trying to hear some good news from him.

Hojo Tokimune smiled reluctantly, sat down in front of Ryoko, and saluted, "Mother, did you sleep well last night?" ”

Ryoko nodded and said, "Go back to a place you are familiar with and sleep well." ”

Hojo Tokimune said happily: "That's good." ”

Ryoko didn't have time to talk to him about family affection, her face tightened, and she asked directly: "Shizong, the war has just begun, and the three Sakaguchi are in a hurry?" ”

Hojo Tokimune knew that he couldn't pass it on, so he simply told the truth and said, "Yes, mother." The weapons of the Song army were beyond my expectations, and the casualties at the three sakaguchi were heavy. ”

Ryoko was shocked and asked, "How long can you keep it?" ”

Hojo Tokimune said, "I don't know, but I've ordered them to delay as much time as possible." ”

Ryoko said worriedly, "Then should we retreat to Kasai Valley as soon as possible?" ”

Hojo Tokimune said, "Yes, I came to discuss this matter with my mother. ”

Ryoko asked, "Is Kasai Valley's troops enough?" ”

Hojo Tokimune said: "Originally, I prepared 5,000 people, but now it seems that it is a little small, I plan to transfer another 5,000 people from Yamauchi Sakaguchi, 10,000 plus the terrain there, I believe it can be defended for a long time." ”

Except for the land of Toshoji Temple, the Kasai Valley has a steep mountain, and it is difficult to find a place to settle down, and it is impossible to attack upwards even if the cannon or the return cannon are moved over.

Ryoko was still very uneasy, paused for a moment, and said softly: "What if...... The Song army surrendered ......"

Without waiting for Ryoko to finish speaking, Hojo Tokimune suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Mother, when the situation is the most critical, I will send you away with Sadashi and Shishi." We, the Hojo clan, will never surrender to the enemy! ”

Ryoko was worried about this, and when she heard that Hojo Shizong had made arrangements, she relieved herself and said, "You can send Zhenshi and Shishi away, it's nothing if I die here." ”

Hojo Tokimune glanced at Zhuzi and Yoshiko, and bowed down to Ryoko: "As a last resort, I implore my mother to take Zhuzi and Yoshiko with Sadashi and Shishi, and I have no distractions before I can fight to the end, and I ask my mother to agree." (To be continued.) )
