In the middle of the night, there are hardly any people in the temple, only the guards under the torches and the sound of unknown insects still remind people that there is still life here. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Under the cold moonlight, the desolate and empty Honnoji Temple was occupied by the owner of the plum blossom flag and her army, and the tall Buddha statues that had gone through the vicissitudes of life cast a long shadow in the dilapidated hall. With the exception of the few campsites with campfires, the rest of the area was in darkness, with little light to be seen and few voices to be heard.

After the plague and bad luck, there were not many regular monks in this temple, which was not full of incense, except for a few walking monks, only Nobunaga's men and horses were still here.

Although they all looked embarrassed, and their bodies were full of smoke and fire, many of them were injured and had no medical supplies to treat them, so they could only stay in the corner and rest.

In the highest attic of Honnoji, Oda Nobunaga, dressed in the armor of the shogun, sat alone in his room, staring at the moon in the sky, and thinking without a word about what the future should be.

Outside the door, a small group of stern-looking guards were standing in two rows with knives in hand, strictly guarding all movements around them.

The prestige is still not lacking, but it always makes people feel that the shogun's journey has been shattered, and even a servant has not seen it, and he really doesn't know what to say.

In fact, there is no way for Nobunaga to look at the moon at this time.

With the support of all parties, Mito Kawahide called on the people and the local army to fight the "Heavenly Demon King" Oda Nobunaga, believing that as long as they killed Nobunaga, the plague would disappear, and I have to say that the people of Toei are really easy to deceive.

In just a few days, a large number of soldiers and civilians gathered in the area of Honnoji, constantly squeezing the living space of the Oda Army and the Ribelia Army, and no matter where they went, someone came to return the letter, which was simply a people's war.

As it turned out, it was impossible for an army without intelligence and logistics to win, even with the armies led by Oda Nobunaga and Admiral Catherine.

Countless attempts to break through were driven back by the enemy at any cost, and in just a few days the number of their troops dropped sharply to less than 4,000 men, and the rest were either killed or fled on their own.

Without reinforcements, Lorraine's Eastern Army troops could not be contacted, and even if they could, Oda Nobunaga's self-esteem would not allow her to continue to ask for help.

Because it was too shameful to flee without permission on the battlefield, and she didn't know if the Bretanians had won the war.

"So what am I still doing here......" Nobunaga looked at the moon obsessively, completely oblivious to the sound of hurried footsteps coming from the hallway.

"Lord Nobunaga! Rebels have been spotted near the Honnoji Temple, and the Riberians on the periphery are conducting reconnaissance, what should we do? ”

"What to do? At this time, if you don't fight to the death, do you think there is still a chance to surrender? ”

"This ...... Maybe we can ......"

"Don't think about that." Nobunaga glanced at the military commander lightly, and those eyes seemed to see through everything, "It's useless to betray the Riberians now, Mito Kawahide needs my head, but that Admiral Catherine is very likely to betray me." ”

After Nobunaga finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to the generals, and the generals who had no choice but to retreat and start arranging the defense of Honnoji Temple, but they didn't know if the enemy would give them time.

"Bastard! Are these Dongying people in a hurry to die!? "The distraught Admiral Catherine was at this time five kilometers outside the Honnoji Temple, leading the remaining Riberians to resist the enemy's attack.

"Admiral! We need reinforcements, and more than a thousand people can't stop these barbarians! ”

"I know, the question is where are the reinforcements now!"

Ever since leaving the Osaka battlefield, Admiral Catherine had always felt as if the army had been cursed by something, and there had not been a single smooth journey along the way.

There's no way to get close to the harbor, because the damn plague is blocking their path, and it's not bad to rush in, let alone wait for the navy to rescue, and not be killed by the plague.

This is the consequence of not having enough medical supplies and clergy, and what is even more terrible is the lack of food and ammunition, without which the modern army simply cannot fight.

Raising the wand in his hand, the little magic power left was once again activated, blasting a distant enemy into a rolling gourd, but more soldiers were still crying for help.

Admiral Catherine had no reserves at all, and most of her magical equipment needed to be replenished like the wand in her hand, and she could do very little.

"Admiral! Three more squads of soldiers are surrounded, are we going to the rescue? ”

"Of course! And the fire cover of bullets, others get on bayonets, follow me! ”

As the head of the army, it is necessary to lead by example in times of crisis, and Catherine, who draws her command knife and pistol, begins the arduous firefighting time with twenty marines.

The number of Mitogawa Hide's troops who surrounded them was very large, and even if the quality of the enemy was very low, it was terrifying, especially the subdued Riberians could not survive at all, because the people of Toei felt that eating the barbarians would make them immune to the plague!

God is pitiful, if eating the same kind can be immune to the plague, Catherine and the others would have eaten it a long time ago, can they wait until this time to be eaten!?

Since surrender can also be eaten by the enemy, then human beings can often burst out with terrifying combat power beyond common sense at such times.

The Riberian soldiers who were besieged in this vicinity left their allies behind even if they were unfavorable in battle, and they did all kinds of evil along the way...... But when the enemy showed their terrible nature and began to slash and even eat people with their knives and knives, they put up the most stubborn resistance in despair.

Platoon guns shoot until the ammunition is exhausted, load the bayonet and start a hand-to-hand fight, calculate that the weapon is knocked down, pick up anything to resist, even if it is with teeth and fists, kill the enemy.

What's more, their commander, Admiral Catherine, has not given up yet, leading the firefighters to constantly save the besieged squad, fighting all the way to save it

Therefore, almost as soon as the 4,000-strong Dongying infantry joined the battle group, they fell into a cruel and tragic battle like a meat grinder.

Under the moonlight, on the land outside the Honnoji Temple, shouts and wails were endless.

Mitogawahide's troops became more and more frightened in the face of the screaming and fighting Riberia soldiers, until the commander desperately demanded that the archers draw their bows and arrows, and soon one by one, sharp arrows flashing with the cold light of death, like poisonous snakes spitting letters, drew a graceful arc and flew towards everyone.

The first round of bows and arrows is fired, followed by the second round, followed by a third round...... After ten consecutive rounds of rapid fire of bow and arrows, the chaotic battlefield had gradually become clear, both friend and foe had fallen in large areas, dark red blood gushed out in large areas, and life gradually disappeared.

The remnants of the Riberia soldiers fled, which also meant that the outskirts of Honnoji were missed, and it was Nobunaga's turn to face Mito Kawahide.
