Chapter 540: Is Uncle Going to Tomako's House?
In order to ensure the safety of the rear, Wang Tianxie has always asked the little Lori of the Stygian Butterfly to stay in the Heavenly Evil Ghost City, and the little royal sister of the Dragon Clan, Lei Ji, is stationed in Gifu City.
These two royal sisters and Lori are more powerful than Wang Tianxie, who became a halfway monk and became a ghost and a demon clan. It can even be said that among the demon clan little Lori, it is the strongest in combat.
If it weren't for the fact that the little Lori of the Stygian Butterfly and the little royal sister of the Dragon Clan were assassinated by the Onmyoji, causing them to lose their minds, Wang Tianxie asked himself if it was really possible to win against them.
This is also the reason why Wang Tianxiao dared to assert in front of the monkey Yu Shiba Hideyoshi that Hattori Youkyo Liang, who went to attack the Heavenly Evil Ghost City, would definitely not be able to get good fruits to eat.
Honganji's class title is very different from that of the samurai.
For example, the Oda family, which is a member of the samurai family, is called the head of the family as the head of the family who leads the entire family. At Honganji, Honganji Manifest, as the supreme leader, is called the Dharma.
And an elder like Shibata Katsuya will be called the owner of Honganji Temple.
As Wang Tianxie said, as the owner of the branch of the Nagashima Honganji Temple, Hattori Youkyo Ryo is having a headache at the moment.
This time, he went out to attack Owari Province, bringing with him a total of 9,000 troops.
Of course, there are less than 3,000 monks and soldiers who really belong to the Honganji branch of Nagashima, and the remaining 6,000 or so are all Ise Province Buddhists.
Most of these Buddhists are townspeople who are farmers, and they are the only ones who are easily instigated by Honganji to participate in Honganji's various military operations.
However, don't look at the military formation, it seems that there are a lot of soldiers, but when Hattori Ukyo Ryo captured Kogie Castle, the 9,000 army formation was actually slashed and killed by Oda Nobuyo with 1,500 foot light troops.
After all, Oda Shin and the fifth brother of the violent overage pseudo-Lori and Wang Tianxie are bent on violent overage pseudo-Lori since they were young. The training and equipment he received were not comparable to those of his brothers.
Although most of the more than 3,000 casualties were townspeople who had participated in the battle without much training, it was already a serious battle loss for Hattori Ukyoryo Ryo.
When Hattori Ukyo Ryo sat in the castle tower of Kogie Castle, looking at the battle damage report in front of him, his heart twitched.
Captured Kogie Castle. It can be said that the gates of Owari Province have been opened for Nagashima Honganji. However, there are only more than 6,000 people left in the military formation, which is definitely a very embarrassing number for Hattori Ukyoryo.
As the main city of Owari Kingdom, Cheongju Castle is already like a little royal sister whose clothes have been torn, and she is trembling and waiting for him to further conquer the city.
However, with a military formation of only 6,000 people, and nearly half of them were townspeople with little training, it was also impossible to attack Kiyoshu Castle, which was the main city of Owari Province.
The kind that clearly sees the food right in front of you. But the tangled feeling that I can't taste it at all.,It's full of Hattori Ukyo Ryū's heart.。
In the western part of Owari Province, in addition to Kiyoshu Castle in the center, only Maeda Toshiie, Maeda Keiji's hometown of Arako Castle, and Wang Tianxi's Heavenly Evil Ghost Castle remained.
Hattori Ukyo Ryo took out a map of the mountains and rivers of Owari Province and thought hard about countermeasures, and finally, Wang Tianxi's Heavenly Evil Ghost Town came into his eyes.
As the owner of the Honganji branch, Hattori Ukyo Ryo knew very well that Wang Tianxi, the "ghost" of the Oda family, had pulled all the orphan troops in his hands to various fronts in Mino Province and Omi Province.
That's why. Of all the castles in the western part of Owari Province, the garrison of Tenkai Oni Castle is theoretically the weakest. Well...... Theoretically, that's true.
Another reason why we must capture the Heavenly Evil Ghost City is to solve the shortage of soldiers caused by the battle damage.
There was no way, Hattori Ukyoryo didn't really believe what his subordinates had mentioned about how difficult it was to gather Buddhist disciples in Owari Province.
But this time, he finally realized it.
Originally, in the budget of Hattori Ukyo Ryo, after entering the sphere of influence of Owari Province. The army formation of 9,000 people can definitely be expanded to 13,000 or 4,000 people.
Unexpectedly, when he took advantage of the night, before the lord of Kokie Castle, Oda Nobukazu, had time to react, he attacked Kogie Castle in one fell swoop, but found that the townspeople of Owari Province, who were willing to participate in Honganji's uprising, did not even have 500 people.
In this troubled era of the Warring States. As the townspeople at the bottom of the town, the most important thing is not who rules them, nor is it the struggle for power and profit, and the grabbing of territory.
For them, the most important thing is nothing more than food and clothing for two meals a day, clothing, food, housing and transportation.
Wang Tianxie and the violent overage pseudo-Lori have implemented various policies of loving the people in recent years, as well as introducing corn and white potatoes, which have an amazing yield per mu in this troubled era of the Warring States.
It was not only the samurai who were the nobility and the merchants who came and went to do business that benefited, but also the ordinary townspeople at the bottom.
Since the Oda family strictly supervised taxes and cracked down on illegal tax collections, the lives of the townspeople have greatly improved. When the violent overage pseudo-Lori announced that sweet potatoes and corn would be the main foods, the townspeople even had food and clothing.
As a result, Hattori Ukyo Ryo, as usual, attacked the city while launching a battle strategy that had always been one and the same, completely shattered.
Therefore, the Heavenly Evil Ghost Town, which is located at the junction of Nakajima County and Hyuri County in the western part of Owari Province, has become a place that he must capture.
Who asked Wang Tianxie to build the Heavenly Evil Ghost City next to one of the tributaries of the Yifei River when he chose the location of the city.
Along this tributary of the Ifi River, one of the branches of the Ryunotake Mountain Range in the Ise Province area can be entered. In other words, it is possible to summon a steady stream of townspeople from Ise Province and issue a conscription order that has always been issued.
Today is November 3rd, and Hattori Ukyo Ryo is leading about 6,000 monks along the course of the Kiso River to the Tenkai Ghost Castle in the middle reaches.
This section of the river is not very turbulent, and the left and right sides of the river are covered with towering ancient trees. After crossing this stretch of the river, there is a large river plain.
Although the scenery of this section of the river is very beautiful, Hattori Ukyoryo has no heart to appreciate it at all, and even has to stop the advancing military formation.
This is because in front of his military formation, a blood-red world has appeared. Moreover, it is a red world of corpses, wreckage, blood, flesh, and bones.
The reason for the appearance of this world is a very cute-looking, little Lori.
This little Lori, who is about 1.2 meters long, exudes a bright fluorescent green light on the clothes on her body, the edges of the outer clothes on her arms are fluorescent blue, and there are fluorescent yellow spots in the middle, and a smile on her face.
The most strange thing for Hattori Ukyo Ryo is that there are two on the back of this little Lori that are much larger than her body, with fluorescent blue edges and fluorescent yellow spots in the middle, and they are constantly fluttering and flapping their big wings.
Little Lori held a long-handled scythe in her hand, as if Wang Tianxie belonged to the legendary god of death in his last life, and the kind he held in his hand.
Half an hour ago, when Hattori Ukyo Ryo was marching along the river, there was a sudden commotion in the front of the military formation.
"Huh? What happened? Why did the military formation stop? Why not move forward yet? Hattori Ukyo Ryo, who was sitting in the ox cart and looking at the topography map of the mountains and rivers, felt that the military formation had stopped advancing and asked.
"Your Highness, the owner of the house, at the front of our team...... Belch...... A little girl has arrived, and she wants to see you by name. A barernist came to the ox cart and replied hesitantly.
"Huh? Want to see me? Yaga! Isn't this nonsense? Why don't you get her out of here? After Hattori Youkyo Liang heard this, he was so angry that he lifted the roller shutter of the oxcart and scolded.
"This big uncle, the little woman of the Styx Butterfly Clan, is eight hundred and thirteen years old this year, the first time we meet, please give me a lot of advice." The little Lori floated in mid-air, and the two tentacles above her head were constantly swaying in the wind.
As soon as Hattori Ukyo finished scolding, a little Lori's crisp and delicate voice sounded in front of his head.
"Huh? You...... ...... the hell What is it? Ghost...... Could it be a ghost? Don't come here, the Buddha will protect me. Hattori Ukyo Liang trembled and pointed at the little Lori of the Stygian Butterfly floating in the air, and suddenly screamed in his mouth.
There's no way, anyone who sees a little Lori fluttering two teams of wings and floating in the air to talk to himself, I'm afraid they will be like Hattori Ukyo Ryo , and his heart is filled with a huge sense of fear.
"Although the little girl belongs to the ghost and demon clan, she is not a member of the ghost clan, but a demon clan of the demon clan. Hee-hee, is the big uncle going to Mitoko's house? "The little Lori of the butterfly smiled and fluttered her huge wings, and smiled very cutely, and smiled very harmlessly.
"Attack your home...... Where is your home? Hattori Youkyo Liang listened to the last words of the little Lori and asked with a frightened face.
"Where is the little girl's home? Well, I don't know what it's called there. However, since it is the city where the Heavenly Evil Ghost Brother lives, it should be called the Heavenly Evil Ghost City! Lori frowned, pretended like she didn't know anything, and poked her face with her right hand in reply.
Burst! Heavenly Evil Ghost Town! It turned out to be a heavenly evil ghost city! Isn't he going to attack the Heavenly Evil Ghost City! After Hattori Youkyo Liang listened to the words of the Stygian Butterfly Little Lori, a mouthful of blood suddenly spurted ten kilometers away.
"Uh...... Ha ha...... We...... Of course not...... It's time to attack the Heavenly Evil Ghost City, haha...... We went hunting, you see, didn't we have a lot of bows and arrows for hunting! Hattori Ukyo Liang hurriedly put on a very kind look and said with a smile on his face.
However, his hand gestured behind his back, and the officials who followed him raised their bows and arrows one after another. (To be continued......)
