"Knock...... Knock ......"

Ashikaga Yoshiki looked at the flags and drums on the periphery of the palace, knowing that this was the sound of the Miyoshi army entering the Ninomaru and hitting the door, and the public couldn't even hold on to a big gate, and it didn't make much sense to continue to hold on to the remaining city gates, so it was better to take the opportunity to block a few city gates with huge wood and stones, and strive to cause a moment of hindrance to the Miyoshi army.

The remnants of the shogunate served the public, regardless of the pain of their physical injuries, knelt on the ground and wept bitterly and begged, hoping that the shogunate would be able to take back their lives, but they didn't want Ashikaga Yoshiki to shake his head resolutely and said: "Yu's mind has been decided, you don't have to say anything!" ”

At the moment when the palace was full of mourning, a black shadow flashed in a hidden corner of the palace and disappeared in place, and after a while, the black shadow galloped back to the Yutai Pavilion in the corner of the northeast direction.

The black-clothed ninja bowed down and said, "I'll use the secret technique to temporarily empty the nearby Miyoshi family's indiscriminate hunting army, at most a quarter of an hour, the Miyoshi army will find out the abnormal situation, please leave quickly!" ”

Hattori Baocho frowned and said, "What do you say about the situation ahead?" ”

"His Royal Highness and Keijuin are holding out in the Tsukigosho, and Kamiizumi Isemoru is also among them, and His Royal Highness the Prince's Royal Highness has announced his decision to fight to the death, and I believe that the result will be reached soon."

Hattori Baocho turned to Konoe Kenko and said: "It's the end of Shin Shi, the sun is about to set, Ashikaga Yoshiaki announced to the imperial court that he will see the truth today, he can't break his word and lose face in front of the imperial court and 200,000 people in Kyoto, the Miyoshi army must not be able to wait, and His Royal Highness the general is determined to die for honor." But the palace of the Imperial Terrace cannot die. Nor can we stay here and wait for the days of claustrophobia! ”

Kenko Konoe caressed her daughters' little faces lovingly. said softly: "The concubine wants to stay here with His Highness, and it is the same to entrust the two children to Iwami to guard the palace......"

Hattori said firmly, "It's different! It's not at all! Staying here will not bring any benefit to the situation, and it is more likely that His Royal Highness the General will suffer injustice! ”

The two little girls were nervous for most of the day and didn't even dare to eat lunch, and after relaxing for a while, they were mentally exhausted, and they slept peacefully in their mother's arms. ”

Hattori Captain tried his best to advise: "The Imperial Throne not only needs to take care of the two lovely princesses, but also needs to inherit the aspirations of His Royal Highness the Shogun. Bring everything that happened today out of the Nijo Imperial Palace, and let the people of the world know everything that happened today, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki will definitely discredit His Royal Highness the Shogun at all costs in order to achieve the legitimacy of his own usurpation.

It is very dangerous for the palace to stay here, it is very likely to be claustrophobic or even suffer unpredictable humiliation, and the lives of the two princesses will be very miserable, and the most important thing is that the truth of what happened today will be gently covered up by Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and His Royal Highness the general will suffer injustice even if he dies! ”

"Is Iwami Moriden joking? That's not funny! Konoe's face turned pale with fright, and what women were most afraid of was the humiliating and even more miserable situation of being captured after the war. Holding his chest, he said nervously: "With the identity of the concubine body of the Imperial Observatory, do those group of warriors of the four countries dare to humiliate the concubine?" ”

"The Shikoku Miyoshi family is very famous for its brutality, lewdness, and shamelessness. Miyoshi Miyakyu and Major General Okamoto are lessons from the past, and they must be guarded against! Hattori Baochang secretly apologized, so he had to use alarmism and smear the Miyoshi family to trick Kenko Konoe out of the Nijo Imperial Palace.

Major General Okamoto's fame spread far and wide in Shikoku, and spread to Kinai with Miyoshi Yoshiken's frequent arrival and departure of his wife in and out of Kyoto, this woman was a member of the Awa Okamoto clan, and her father was Misaku Okamoto, the lord of Saijo East Castle in Itano County, and Mamoru Omakimi was married to Awa Guardian Hosokawa Moritaka as a side room, and gave birth to Hosokawa Moritaka's sister-in-law Hosokawa Shinyuki.

In the last years of Astronomy, Miyoshi Yoshiken killed the titular lord Hosokawa Mochitaka in the temple of Misex, and supported his son Hosokawa Shinyuki as a puppet, causing the Awa Hosokawa family led by his father-in-law Kume Yoshihiro and Sano Tanba Mamoru to be collectively revolted, so he killed his father-in-law Kume Yoshihiro in a gun battle, and separated from Mrs. Kume.

Then he married this Okamoto little major general, in the two years after the marriage, there were two boys left in succession, Miyoshi Nagaji, Shikawa Cunbo, since Miyoshi Yoshiken died in the battle of Kumida, and was taken by Miyoshi Yoshiken's genealogy Lao Shinohara as a wife, and then gave birth to a son and a daughter, the fate of this hard-working woman just confirms the truth of the red face.

When she heard what happened to Major General Okamoto, she was so ashamed that she couldn't imagine how much humiliation she would suffer if she fell into the hands of the Shikoku samurai, and the dignified Imperial Terrace of the Grand Shogun was occupied by the barbaric and lowly Shikoku samurai, the scene was unimaginable, she would definitely commit suicide first.

Hattori knew that it was very unauthentic to smear the samurai of Shikoku in this way, so he silently said a few words of apology in his heart and continued to threaten: "According to the information below, these three good people have a despicable personality and no good person, Miyoshi Nagayi is an old pervert, Miyoshi Masaysu is a villain who has no daughters, Iwanari Tomotsu is a hypocrite who likes widows, Matsunaga is also lustful, Naito Munekatsu likes men, and it is rumored that he has a secret ......pass with his nephew Matsunaga."

"Don't say it again......" Kenko Konoe said in a confused voice, covering her ears, "Don't say it again!" The concubine body will leave the Nijo Imperial Palace! Say no more......"

……

In front of Sannomaru, who is only more than 100 meters away from the core area of the Nijo Imperial Palace, a temporary formation curtain was set up as a command post for the attack of the coalition forces, Ashikaga Yoshiaki sat in the formation and scolded Fang Yu in high spirits, this was the first time in his life to go out into battle, and there was inevitably a little excitement in his heart, sitting in the formation curtain to show off his military strategy knowledge to several generals, such as Feng Lin Mo into the description of small skills such as the sky, and kept showing the experience of studying the art of war of the Ming Kingdom over the years.

The three of them realized that the future general still had a habit of rejoicing in great achievements, a samurai who had only sat in the curtain at the age of thirty to complete the first battle of his life, and boasted in front of the battle-hardened generals how knowledgeable he was.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki can't help but listen to what he says, in case their names come to a drum and pass flowers, and they each tell their experiences. Pretending not to hear clearly, wouldn't it be to slap Ashikaga Yoshiaki in the face. You can only kill an enemy without killing yourself in such a place. The "Shinnen" samurai, who had never even seen what the enemy looked like, pretended to be stupid in front of him.

Matsunaga Xiu listened to Ashikaga Yoshiaki's narration with a happy face, and whenever he thought he had talked about the most exciting place and began to sell Sekiko, he would try his best to pretend to be curious and explore, and when Ashikaga Yoshiaki took the initiative to uncover the mystery, he could show just the right amount of surprise, and applaud excitedly, he was really an excellent actor.

Miyoshi Masakang was so tired that he couldn't have a seizure, so he kept scanning Miyoshi Changyi with his eyes, and took the initiative to lean over and whispered: "Matsunaga is too enthusiastic, right?" Look at him like that, if it weren't for his old age and decrepit color, and he didn't have a daughter. I'm afraid I would have volunteered to serve a long time ago! ”

Miyoshi Changyi said thoughtfully: "Matsunaga wants to take the opportunity to jump ship!" ”

"How?"

Miyoshi Changyi shook his head and ordered: "When the palace is captured later, you must keep an eye on His Highness, and we must not let Matsunaga succeed!" ”

At this time, Miyoshi Masaysu understood what was going on, and just as he was about to become angry, he was stopped by Miyoshi Changyi, whispered a few words, immediately put away his angry expression, and was overjoyed, stood up and said loudly: "His Royal Highness, you must not know that Matsunaga Dan is also a battle-hardened general!" Yamato is the Matsunaga bullet main hall raiders, this is the first Yamato guardian of my samurai family in five hundred years, not only good at leading troops to fight but also very good at internal politics. A bit of a stone into gold means of excellence! ”

Ashikaga Yoshiaki was curious: "Oh? And what else is there? ”

Matsunaga Shu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty just happened to meet the favor of His Royal Highness the Gathering Light Temple, with the active cooperation of many samurai of the Miyoshi family, especially the several generals here. It was difficult to take part of the control of the Yamato country, the Asuka Kyoto in the southern three counties did not have any control, and the Kofukuji Temple in the north controlled the Nara Kyoto invulnerable, and the people of the Yamato country had a very negative attitude towards his subordinates, and it was still far from controlling the Yamato country. ”

Ashikaga Yoshiaki suddenly realized: "I see! No wonder the poor monk ...... When Yu was in the first courtyard to serve as the young monk's capital, he heard that the Miyoshi army had invaded the vicinity of Nara Kyoto and launched a strategy against the territory of the Tsutsui family. ”

Matsunaga Xiu repeatedly humbled and didn't dare, as if he unintentionally caught a glimpse of Miyoshi Masayasu's treacherous snicker, and a trace of vigilance immediately flashed in his eyes, and he was about to find a reason to retreat outside the formation, but was stopped by the quick-eyed Miyoshi Masayasu: "His Royal Highness must not know that Naito Bizen, who is sitting here, is the guardian of Tamba and the general of the Miyoshi family, or the younger brother of Matsunaga's main hall. ”

"Matsunaga's younger brother is also an excellent samurai!" Ashikaga Yoshiaki nodded happily: "Since it is so powerful, it is better to let Matsunaga Hall and Naito Hall take the lead in the general attack!" ”

Matsunaga Xiu's face changed, and he hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Excellency is old and frail and unbearable to be tortured in battle, this armor has not been worn for many years, and it is only spread out on the eleventh day of the first month of each year to show off, and it is taken out to dry in the summer season to remove the musty smell. ”

Hearing his father's rapid tossing and turning, dodging this fatal blow, Matsunaga knelt down and pleaded with a bitter face: "Your Majesty also wants to serve His Royal Highness, and His Majesty admires His Royal Highness's heroic appearance very much......"

Ashikaga Yoshiaki didn't pay attention to Matsunaga at all, and said to himself: "It's really pitiful to say this, so Yu will grant Matsunaga's request, and serve Yu's left and right in the future!" Leave it to the people of the main hall to take care of it! ”

"Thank Your Highness for your grace!" Matsunaga showed respectful salute and thanks, and then glanced at the eyes of Miyoshi Masayasu and the others, there was a little more fierce and vicious, and he couldn't wait to pull out the knife on the spot and split the heads of the three bastards, and his left hand was always pressed on the knife and struggled, and finally endured this evil breath.

Hearing the order, Matsunaga sat down, almost crying out loud as if he was mourning, Naito Sokatsu's eyes were full of despair, and he almost pulled out a knife to wipe his neck, and his emotions were so intense that he was creepy, and Matsunaga Xiu's face was gloomy at this time, and his eyes were like red coals, and he locked on the three of Miyoshi for a moment, and this deep hatred fell in Miyoshi Changyi's eyes and was not afraid at all, but smiled at him.

"But I never thought that my Jiuxiu also had a moment when he fell into the hands of this old guy! It seems that I am usually too careless! Matsunaga was so annoyed that he was set in a trap with his face in his face and kicked himself into a trap. It's painful.

The war has been won at this point. Ashikaga Yoshiaki brought the Honjin here to wait for the acceptance of the Nijo Imperial Palace. And this fifteen-thousand-strong army is all the elite of the Miyoshi Army that has been in battle for a long time, and it is not a dead Owari weak soldier who is only skinny and bones, but he suddenly slows down when he sees that he is about to capture the palace, and he hums and chirps for a long time around a few broken city gates of Ninomaru There is only one reason, that is, to find someone to carry the black cauldron.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki's death needs someone to be responsible, this black cauldron must be borne by someone, Ashikaga Yoshiaki is the future general of Wei Guangzheng, of course, he can't be stained with such a black cauldron. Then the person who carries the blame can only be found from a few people here, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki is also hoping that someone will take the initiative to urge the attack.

As long as there is such a fool who comes up, he can push the black pot out, but it's a pity that both the three people and the Matsunaga show are all treacherous like ghosts, and no one takes the initiative to jump out to urge, so there is an embarrassing situation where Shen Shichu captured the four gates, and Shen Shimo still stayed outside the Ninomaru and a few unguarded gates.

Miyoshi Nagayi's reaction was unusually fast, taking advantage of Miyoshi Masayasu's seemingly stupid performance, he seized the opportunity of Matsunaga Hide's relaxation of vigilance to encourage Miyoshi Masayasu to make rash speeches, and used his strength to throw this black cauldron that captured the imperial palace to Matsunaga Hide, but unfortunately at the last moment was dodged by Matsunaga Hide's quick wit. However, their goal was successfully achieved in the end, and there was not much difference between the younger brother and son going into battle and his own.

Matsunaga begged for a long time and could not be pushed back. On the contrary, he was sneered at by Miyoshi Masayasu with a face full of shame, hesitated for a long time, gritted his teeth and withdrew from the curtain with hatred, and shouted angrily: "Attack! Attack now! There is a reward for the capture of the Nijo Imperial Palace! ”

……

Ashikaga Yoshiaki's military order pressed the formation, Matsunaga used his strength to eat milk desperately, 13,000 troops gathered from all directions to launch a large-scale attack, almost instantly captured the unguarded Ninomaru, the stone seal was only an expedient measure, it could be blocked for a while but could not be blocked, the battering ram slammed the last line of defense, the gate was also completely blocked by huge trees and stones, the shogunate ministers did not think of leaving alive, and the remnants of the public gathered in front of the permanent palace to do the last desperate struggle.

Mrs. Jinshi's little attendant also walked out of the room with a big belly at this time, and was very worried when she saw the trembling gate of the palace, Ashikaga Yoshiki looked back and shook his head, the little attendant turned around and retreated to the permanent palace, she didn't dare to look at her father with a desperate face, she was very afraid that she would die, she was pregnant with the general's child in her belly, she couldn't die.

Qingshouyuan looked coldly at the back of the little attendant leaving, and said, "Yihui! You have put your own safety at risk, but have you thought about your safety, Kenko, what about the safety of your children? You are martyred, and the general's royal station and the princess cannot be taken prisoner. ”

"This is my negligence......" Ashikaga Yoshiki was silent for a moment and said, "I believe that Yoshiaki will not be stupid enough to attack his sister-in-law!" ”

Keishouin shook his head and said nothing, his son and daughter-in-law are close relatives, and the two of them have an awkward relationship, and the only thing that can be a mother is to protect her son, even if her daughter-in-law Kenko Konoe is her own niece, even if she is gentle and virtuous and kind and impeccable from head to toe, as a mother, she will still favor her reckless and impulsive son.

Xu is saw that the city gate was sealed again, and the samurai of the Miyoshi Army, who lacked patience, tried to climb over the city wall with people, and found that the defense in the palace was very weak, and immediately yelled and passed on the information to his companions, and the samurai outside the palace were immediately overjoyed when they heard the news, and in an instant, more than 100 samurai climbed over the city wall and rushed into the palace.

"Rush! Kill! The samurai of the Miyoshi Army shouted and rushed to the front of the palace to attack, and the public tried their best to line up in a row to block left and right, and for a time dozens of people outside the palace fought into a ball of sword light, and the brave Umizumi Hidetsuna held the immovable national line given by Ashikaga Yoshiteru, like a tiger descending the mountain, driving the sword light all the way, and tearing a hole in the enemy's camp with his own strength.

More than ten disciples under the leadership of Yanagi Zongyan and Shigang Ichiyu followed closely behind to form a wave of counter-assault, Lin Qi Shisuke held down the scabbard with his left hand, and his right hand moved with a flash of light to cut open the throat chakra and cut through the fragile flesh and blood of the neck, a huge hideous and terrifying head rose to the sky under the action of great force, and the blood split the head and poured down, and the excited Lin Qi Shisuke trembled, and his eyes exuded a cruel and bloodthirsty light.

The morale of the Miyoshi army was frustrated by a wave of counter-assault, and the situation in the palace was shocked by the bold swordsmen of several masters, and Ueizumi Hidetsuna stood bravely and fearlessly in front of the palace, and all the soldiers who broke into the palace were ashigaru, and there were no long-range units to threaten the safety of the swordsmen.

This change of trick gradually increased the pressure of the swordsmen, the cut samurai is more than several times more dangerous than the cut miscellaneous soldiers, after all, Kamiizumi Hidetsuna is an old man over sixty years old, no matter how strong his courage is, no matter how high his skills are, he will eventually be old and weak, and his blood will decay, and he will be tired and out of breath when he splits more than a dozen people, and he has no choice but to cure it and slowly retreat with a sword.
