Chapter 781: The battlefield is in the Honnoji Temple
Although in this troubled era of the Warring States, it is true that the idea of loyalty to the monarch is advocated. But to be honest, in this troubled era of the Warring States, there are also all kinds of backbones.
Since the fall of the Heian Dynasty and the beginning of the Warring States Period, the words "anti-bone" and "Xia Keshang" have simply become a big drama that will be staged every few years or more than ten years.
From the early 15th century's "No. 1 Warring States Hero" Hojo Sakumo, to the later "Mino Province Pit Viper" Saito Michizo, the "No. 1 Warring States Anti-Bone Guy" Matsunaga Hide, who has repeatedly erected the banner of rebellion against his own monarch; From the "Owari Country Big Cat" Oda Nobuhide, to the old fox Asai Hisasa, the old fox of Omi Province, and even Mitsuhide Lori who almost succeeded in blackening the backbone......
It is no exaggeration to say that since the Heian Dynasty fell into turmoil, there are few big names with names and surnames, and there have never been one or two "backbone" guys in themselves or the family behind them.
It is precisely because of this that when Miyake Sun Juro and Yasuda Sakubei were not much resistant to Mitsuhide Lori ordering them to attack the violent overage pseudo-Lori Oda Nobuko who lived in the Honnoji Temple temporarily, and attacking Wang Tianxi, who is known as the "Oda family evil ghost", there was not much resistance in their hearts.
The shouting of the two immediately encouraged the ashigaru team under them.
Although the Ten Gold Judgment is not a lot of money for a high-ranking samurai in this troubled era of the Warring States, it is undoubtedly a lot of money for Ashigaru, who is called a "low-level samurai" but is actually cannon fodder.
Four thousand ashigaru suddenly shouted while resisting the rain of arrows and rushing towards the main entrance of the temple in the dark.
Most of the 300 bows and arrows of the Honnoji Temple were still around the main entrance. As long as you can break through the main entrance and rush into the temple, there is no need to worry about guarding the ashigaru.
At this moment, even if he is just a cannon fodder who doesn't need to use his brains, he has become an elite who knows how to use the terrain.
Some of them lay on the ground at the entrance without saying a word, and crawled into the temple like a snake. It wasn't until he got out of the rain of arrows that he stood up.
Some black-hearted and selfish ashigaru stood up to the little friends in front of them, used the bodies of the little friends as shields, and rushed into the temple in a swarm.
Every Ashigaru who was lucky enough to escape the rain of arrows at the main entrance of the Honnoji Temple held a wooden spear in his hand and bypassed the location of the main entrance from a distance, and then rushed in the direction of the main hall.
At this time, the streets of castle town outside Honnoji Temple had already been under the rampage of the two thousand foot light teams. A raging fire ignited.
But even so, the Honnoji Temple still looked dark, and the eyes of the attacking Ashigaru team could only see a blurred black shadow of four or five meters at most.
Originally, this environment was a great advantage for the garrison in Honnoji Temple.
However, to the helplessness of the garrison in Honnoji, when they had to switch from long-range archery to melee combat, the number of enemy torches increased considerably.
At this moment, the original advantage was immediately turned into a huge disadvantage by the difference in numbers, and the situation was suddenly reversed.
As more than half an hour passed, more and more Ashigaru teams rushed into Honnoji. The bows and arrows of the guard finally slowed down, and they were no longer as sharp as they had been.
There was a constant need for the ashigaru to put down the bow and arrow in his hand, pick up the big sword and wooden spear beside him, and begin to engage with the ashigaru team that rushed into the temple, and the scene gradually became chaotic.
"Rush!"
"Death!"
…………
Countless shouts of killing filled the original Buddhist holy land, making the entire temple scream continuously.
Soon, the three hundred guards were left with only Mori Lan Maru as the leader, and his two younger brothers Mori Fang Maru and Mori Ri Maru as auxiliaries. The fifty guards led by him stood on a high platform in front of the main hall to stand guard.
"Senran Maru. Surrender quickly, our enemies are only the princess and the demon! "Miyake Sunjuro and Yasuda Sakubei led their ashigaru team to the front of the main hall and stood at the bottom of the steps and shouted to Moriranmaru.
"Humph! Yaga! It is you who will surrender! Moriranmaru glanced at his two younger brothers, and then shouted at Miyake Sunjuro and Yasuda Sakubei under the steps.
"In that case, there is nothing more to say! Army! Sortie! With a wave of their hands, Miyake Sunjuro and Yasuda Sakubei ordered the Ashigaru team to rush to the high platform.
"Brothers. Now is the last moment to show our martial arts! For the sake of the Shinko Palace! For His Highness the Heavenly Evil! Mori Lan Maru also shouted, brandishing the two-meter-long Tai Knife in his hand and rushing down the steps first.
Morifang Maru and Mori Rimaru also nodded, pulled out the big sword at their waists, and followed the left and right sides of Senran Maru to rush towards the attacking Ashigaru.
It's a pity that the three of them and the fifty ashigaru teams they lead. In an instant, he was surrounded by more than 1,000 enemy troops.
Mori Ranmaru's broadsword swung left and right, constantly harvesting the surrounding ashigaru, and rushed in the direction of Yasuda Sakubei.
"Yaga! You are just the little surname of the princess's palace, and the wise lord told you to surrender because he cherished you! Since you don't appreciate it, then you go and die! Yasuda Sakubei saw Mori Ranmaru rushing towards him, and drew his sword with a hideous face to meet him.
"Sun Shilang, these three guys who don't know the height of the sky will be handed over! Go and kill the princess and the demon! Yasuda Sakubei rushed towards Moriranmaru while not forgetting to shout at his little friend.
"Good! The head of the princess's palace, let me go down and ask for it! "Miyake Sunjuro crossed the three brothers Ranmaru, Bomaru, and Rikimaru, who were surrounded by the group, and rushed to the main hall behind the three of them with five hundred ashigaru.
"Heavenly evil, it's about to begin...... Hey...... I can't imagine that the two of us will die here! Oda Nobuko, who was dressed in full uniform, stood beside Wang Tianxie and pouted self-deprecatingly.
"You...... Seeing that the final battle is about to begin, and everything is about to end, you are still in the mood to say such things. Wang Tianxie smiled a little cryingly.
At this time, Wang Tianxie had already put on the weapons conjured up by the five Heavenly Ghost Princess and the heirs.
There are indeed only five princesses of Onihime.
Mitsuhide Lori and the second princess of the black belly, Cui Ji, are launching a fierce attack on the office in charge of the garrison of Heiankyo, slashing people one after another.
As for the eldest princess Yinghime, she is still eating pastries in Echigo Province and Sister Uesugi, the dragon girl of Echigo Province, and sitting and watching the development of the situation.
"Heavenly evil, is Bee Suga Koroku really nearby?" Oda Nobuko looked at Sunjuro Miyake, who was about to rush in front of her, and changed the topic without fear.
"Well, it's on the top of the Nanban Temple over there. Interestingly, the new generation of Sagasun City is also there. Wang Tianxie replied as he glanced at a towering building not far to the east of the main hall of the Honnoji Temple.
The building was built with the approval of Nobuko Oda a few years ago for Portuguese missionaries to pray and other things.
It is true that the Portuguese missionaries did not have a very good time in this troubled time of the Warring States.
It's not that their clothing, food, housing, and transportation are not good, but that they were ordered by Wang Tianxie and Oda Nobuko not to preach in this troubled era of the Warring States.
In this troubled Warring States period, faith has long been revered by the Oda family's Daimyō Atsuta god, who has been worshiped for generations, supplemented by the rest of the local gods.
Although these missionaries were forbidden to preach, for the Portuguese merchants, the Nanban Temple undoubtedly became a good place for them to pray.
"Oh? Saga Sun City? The remnants of the Miscellaneous Crowd? Remember correctly, it should be the fourth generation, right? Hmph, that guy didn't wipe them out! Oda Nobuko listened to Wang Tianxie's words, and her face was full of contempt.
It's just that I don't know if she despises Shibata Katsuie, the general in charge of attacking Kii Province a few years ago, or if she despises the inadequacy of this generation of Saga Sun City.
"It's coming!"
Just when Oda Nobuko expressed extreme dissatisfaction, Wang Tianxie gently hugged her waist.
His action is purely to show his intimacy with Oda Nobuko, but for Sunjuro Miyake, who has already come to the two of them, there is a sense of "he is being ignored".
"Humph! The devil! In the lower Miyake Sunjuro has come to take your head! Miyake Sun Juro, who was so angry that he was ignored by Wang Tianxie, gritted his teeth, and launched an offensive against the two who hugged each other without saying a word.
"Just you?"
Wang Tianxie shouted loudly and pulled out the "Demon Knife" inserted in his waist. Oni Shinemaru "Big Tai Knife, it is a knife to the head and face of Sunjuro Miyake, who rushed over.
Miyake Sun Juro is worthy of being a samurai recruited back by Mitsuhide Lori in recent years, and his sense of touch for martial arts is still very keen, and he can see at a glance that the big sword in his hand is by no means the "demon knife" in the hands of Wang Tianxi. Oni Shine Pill "The opponent of the Great Sword."
Therefore, he didn't have anything to do with Wang Tianxie's "demon knife" at all. The Oni Flash Pill "slashed each other hard against hard, but kept slashing sideways, hoping to find an opportunity to kill Wang Tianxie.
For his opportunistic and cautious approach, Wang Tianxie reciprocated by slashing widely.
"When, when, when, when, when, when......"
From top right to bottom left, top left to top right, left to right, right to left...... Wang Tianxie's every knife was so powerful and heavy, and every knife slashed so that Miyake Sun Shiro had to take a step back.
However, he could only take this step back, because Wang Tianxie followed closely behind him and took a step forward, and then slashed over with a knife.
Miyake Sun Juro had not followed Wang Tianxie before, so even if he was recruited as a retainer by Guangxiu Da Lori, his understanding of Wang Tianxie was still just hearsay.
It wasn't until the moment of the real confrontation that he finally understood how terrifying Wang Tianxie, the "Oda family demon", was.
Wang Tianxie had slashed at himself thirty times in a row, but the power of each knife had not weakened at all, but one knife was better than another, making him feel more and more difficult.
Moreover, don't look at Wang Tianxie's every knife that doesn't seem to be very fast, he has enough time to resist hard, but if he wants to launch a counterattack against the other party, he is simply a fool's dream. (To be continued......)
