Chapter 720

Kaga, Oyama Goto. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Bastard! That Shibata Katsuya dared to look down on Honzong so much? Qili Lai Zhou kept roaring, and the hideousness on his face showed how angry he was now. In fact, whether it was him, the expressions of several officials and more than a dozen patriarchs of the wealthy clan present were also very bad, obviously they all thought that after learning that the Ichijo sect had gathered nearly 80,000 believers, Shibata Katsuya's move of still leading an army to invade Kaga was a very serious contempt and humiliation for them.

"Lai Zhoufang official, no matter whether the Shibata Katsu family underestimates us or not, we must save Dasheng Temple City. Otherwise, once Daikatsuji Castle is breached, the entire Kaga will be completely exposed to the Oda army! Sugi Pu Xuanren shouted, he was the official of the Kaga Ichijo sect. In the past, many of the previous targets for Uesugi and Asakura were led by him. Unlike Qili Lai Zhou and others, he is a real warrior monk and a battle-hardened general.

"Not bad! At this time, there were only 3,000 disciples of the main sect of Daikatsuji Castle, and although there was Tokuda-sama guarding it, the Shibata Katsu family was a famous family of the Oda family after all, and it should not be underestimated. Another person stood up and said in a deep voice, his name was Suzuki Shigeyasu, but he was from the Suzuki clan. At an early age, he was invited by Honganji Kenru from the Suzuki family and sent to Kaga to help Ichijo train the musket team.

Speaking of which, after the Suzuki clan was defeated and Oda Yoshinobu was subdued, Suzuki Shigeyasu naturally became the object of suspicion, although there is no evidence that Suzuki Shigeyasu and the Oda family are connected, but obviously, in the eyes of Kaga's Ichikoshi clan officials and those wealthy families, Suzuki Shigeyasu should not continue to be in charge of Kaga's musket team.

However, in this regard, Qili Lai Zhou only hesitated for a moment, and firmly stood on the side of Suzuki Shigetai. Because of this, Suzuki Shigeyasu was completely dead set on the Ichijo sect.

Hearing this, Qili Lai Zhou suddenly no longer hesitated, if only Suzuki Shigetai or Sugi Pu Genren spoke, then maybe Qili Lai Zhou would hesitate, but when the general and the general of the musket team under his command said so, it was enough to laugh at all the concerns of Qili Lai Zhou, not to mention that at this time, Qili Lai Zhou was eager to lead the army to completely defeat the bastard who didn't know whether to live or die of the Shibata Katsuya.

You must know that in his original thoughts, when he learned that the Uesugi army and the 80,000 disciples were preparing to attack Echizen, Shibata Katsuya should have hid in the castle tower and shivered. But now, the trembling Shibata Katsuya directly led the army to kill, and the speed of this slap in the face was not too fast.

And when Shichiri Raishu made up his mind to send troops to support Daishoji Castle, Daishoji Castle was already surrounded by Shibata Katsuie's troops. Muskets, bows and arrows constantly vented their suppressive firepower into the city, just like a copy of the attack on Tajima by Akechi Mitsuhide and others, and in the face of this terrifying suppression, those disciples of the Zong Sect couldn't even raise their heads.

"Attack! Let this group of fake monks who can't recite the scriptures know what an outrageous mistake it is to provoke their own family! Shibata shouted. As soon as the words fell, Sakuma Morimasa had already led the army to rush out. Previously, when suppressing the Echizen Asakurayu Party, Sakuma Morimasa broke out of the nickname of the ghost Xuanfan, this Xuanbo is the solemn official position of Sakuma, and from the seven upper Xuanfan Xiaoyun, he is the judge in the Xuanfan Liao. To put it simply, it is to manage the registers of monasteries and monks and nuns, to receive foreign ministers, and to supervise the departments of foreigners in Beijing.

Okay, he manages the monastery and the monks and nuns, but this kid obviously has some tendency to violently enforce the law, and you must know that in Echizen, he never showed any signs of mercy towards the disciples of the Honko. Every time he fights, he looks like he wants to kill all these monks.

"This kid ......" Seeing Sakuma Morimasa rushing out, Shibata Katsuya smiled helplessly. Sakuma Morimasa is the son of Sakuma Moriji, who in turn is the younger brother of Sakuma Nobumori. Because Sakuma Moriji's wife is the sister of the Shibata Katsu family, I don't know why the Shibata Katsu family, who has never had an heir, adopted Sakuma Moriji's third son as an adopted son. And Sakuma Morimasa, because he was taught martial arts by Shibata Katsuie when he was a child. After arriving in Yuanfu, he has been following Shibata Katsuya.

Although Sakuma Morimasa is not his adopted son, and Shibata Katsuie also knows that the reason why Sakuma Moriji is willing to follow his eldest son is mainly because it is easier to follow him to obtain military achievements. But for Sakuma Morimasa, Shibata Katsuya is very fond of saying, because in his opinion, Sakuma Morimasa is almost exactly the same as him when he was young.

Half a quarter of an hour later.

"Bang!" With a bang, the gate of Katsuryuji Castle was breached, and Sakuma Morimasa took the lead in killing it, and the big sword in his hand was like a scythe of death, stained with death and death, where did it look like a young samurai who was only 17 years old? And under his leadership, Tomita Nagashi, Asakura Jingjing and others led the army to continue to rush into the city. Before and after Shibata Katsu became the ruler of Echi, although their status declined, the appeasement of Shibata Katsu and the strength of the Oda family made them have to accept this result.

However, none of their performances were as eye-catching as the other person, and even the light of Sakuma Morimasa could not hide this person. He is Shigemasa Tomita, also a 17-year-old young samurai. He was a former retainer of the Asakura family, a disciple of Tomita Ryu, Yamazaki Keibang, who had been learning swordsmanship with Tomita Keimasa since he was a child. Last year, Shibata Katsuie had just taken him in as a retainer.

"Hehe, Chongzheng's swordsmanship has become stronger again~ Fortunately, I started quickly, otherwise I might have been robbed by Lord Yoshinobu again." Shibata Katsuya looked at the battle situation in the city and thought proudly.

Whether it is Azuchi Academy or Sword Palace, because it is located in Ise, Oda Yoshinobu always relies on the proximity to the water to grab people, and almost all outstanding students and Sword Palace disciples will be preemptively booked by Oda Yoshinobu. This situation obviously made everyone very unhappy. But what can be done? Who made both of these places made by Yoshinobu Oda?

"Damn! Block it for me! Be sure to block it for me! Tokuda Shigekiyo kept roaring, but although he had a loud voice, it was never a supporting character's skill to be able to defeat an enemy with his mouth alone. Moreover, this kid is not even a supporting role at all.

However, strictly speaking, the disciples of the Zong Sect in the city of Dasheng Temple were already fighting very hard, and in the huge "Amitabha" Buddha horn, they seemed to have gained endless courage. It's just courage, in the case of a huge difference in strength, really doesn't play a role. The difference is simply whether you fall facing the enemy or your back to the enemy.

After all, these disciples of the Oda Sect were just ordinary peasants, so how could they be the opponents of the Oda Standing Army, who was training every day? Not to mention that the Oda family is led by several brave and invincible samurai on the side of the Oda family, but there is no such person at all on the side of the Tsunamune.

"Damn......" Tokuda Shigekiyo gritted his teeth and cursed, at this time he had no countermeasures, "No! I can't die here! I still have no dreams and ambitions to accomplish them! Tokuda Shigekiyo kept thinking about it, running away, and this thought came out of his heart.

It's just that......

"Your head, I'm going to be a political leader in Sakuma!" A loud shout rang in his ears, and before he could react, he only saw a flash of cold light, and then lost consciousness.

Sakuma Morimasa quickly cut off Tokuda Shigekiyo's head, and as soon as he stood up, he saw Tomita Shigemasa rushing over in a hurry. "Haha, Chongmasa, you're late~" Sakuma Morimasa laughed when he saw this. He is the same age as Tomita Shigemasa, and they are both martial arts heroes, so they naturally have a competitive mentality.

"Tsk, you kid is pretty fast." Tomita Shigemasa pursed his lips, but he didn't talk nonsense with Sakuma Morimasa anymore, but directly turned his head and continued to slash and kill those disciples of the Ichizong who were completely chaotic because they saw Tokuda Shigekiyo being killed. Hawkers, maybe at this time, in the eyes of Shigemasa Tomita, if you don't kill a single disciple, you can see a number plus 1 from their corpses, right?

"Kill them all, not a single one!" Shibata Katsuya said in a flat tone. Maybe it's because of the influence of Oda Nobunaga and others, or because he just became the master of Echizen and met Ichijo, in short, Shibata Katsuie's attitude towards Ichicho can only be described as tyrannical. In Echizen, he almost slaughtered all the disciples of the Ichijo sect, and when he entered Kaga, he also raised a cruel butcher's knife.

"These people are all fanatical disciples of the Sect, if you keep them, when the Uesugi family's army arrives, they will become enemies of the family again." Shibata Katsuya explained to the retainers around him.

However, thousands of disciples of the Sect, how could it be so easy to slaughter them all? So in the end, Shibata Katsuya simply blocked them in the city and directly set fire to the castle of Daishoji Temple.

"Go on the offensive! We must rush before the arrival of the Uesugi family to weaken the power of the Kaga Ichikozong to the greatest extent! Shibata Katsuie shouted with his back to the raging fire in the castle. The screams that kept coming from inside the city seemed to be cursing Shibata Katsuya.

One day, but just one day, Shibata Katsuya led the army to frantically capture the 12 castles controlled by Kaga Ichijozong, and the news reached the ears of Qili Laizhou, which naturally made him angry, but what made him even more angry was that the results of the 12 castles were very unified, and they were all burned by Shibata Katsuya.

"If I don't kill this person, I swear that I won't ascend to Bliss!" Qili Lai Zhou made an oath that seemed serious to him. And then, he led an army of 80,000 to Shibata Katsu's department and rushed madly.

"Really? It just rushed straight over? Shibata Katsuie immediately sneered after receiving the news from the army.
