Chapter 673: The Xingui Mountain Raider Begins
Matsunaga shook his hand as if frantically, letting go of the hand that had already held Matsui's wrist out of five purple marks.
"Crazy! You're crazy! The Oda family has tolerated you twice, and now for the third time, call me to persuade you with kind words, you obsessive fellow! Matsui Yumo rubbed his hands and pointed at Matsunaga and scolded.
“…… Let's go, even if I defend the cage city until the last moment, I will never bow to a woman! Whether it's the Oda family or the dragon girl of Echigo country...... It's a pity, that coward who looks forward and thinks backwards! After Matsunaga was silent for a while, he suddenly waved his hand to Matsui and ordered the eviction.
He knew his own business, and although he was very honest and honest in what he said just now, he knew that the chips in his hand were getting smaller and smaller each time.
It's just that as a careerist in the troubled times of the Warring States Period, and even more so a male supremacy hero, how could he be willing to submit to a woman!
Every submission before was nothing more than a decision to take advantage of the opportunity.
Every time he finds an opportunity, he will stab the Oda family in the back, and in his opinion, this is a man's world after all!
After listening to Matsunaga Hide's words, Matsui Yushi turned around angrily and walked in the direction of Shinkiyama Castle Castle, and left Shinkiyama Castle not long after.
As night gradually enveloped the land, Matsui Yukan, who hurried back to Azuchi Castle with a sense of guilt, did not find that his entourage was missing three people.
Hawkers, even if he finds out, he doesn't have the heart to investigate at the moment.
Early the next morning, when the townspeople of Shinkiyama Castle Castle went out of their homes to work in the fields and take care of their shops in the city, their eyes were drawn to the paper posted in every prominent place on the street.
In the center of the paper, about a third of the way down from top to bottom, is painted with the word "greed". Underneath the word are three lines of small print.
"Matsunaga Dan Masa Hisahide is a man who is insatiable and has been squeezing the people's wealth for many years, and now the city is full of goods. However, not only was he not satisfied with this, but he even wanted to ignite the flames of war and seize the world. Now for the third time, he has rebelled against His Royal Highness Xinzi regardless of his kindness, so he specially sent him the word 'greed' to announce it to the world! All the people in the Oda collar went up"
Some townspeople who run small businesses in Zaichi read the words on the paper to their illiterate neighbors.
The three ninjas who followed Matsui Yukan were sent by Wang Tianxie to complete the task perfectly. According to Wang Tianxi's instructions, it took a night to post the notice all over every corner of the castle.
The first to riot were the foot merchants who traveled the world with ox carts.
This group of people traveled south and north in this troubled era of the Warring States, and naturally knew that the Yamato country had long been under the leadership of the Oda family, and they knew the strength of the Oda family.
Because of this, they were even slightly knowledgeable, and they immediately smelled the smell of war from the notices posted all over the castle town of Shinkiyama Castle.
The courage to be a footman in this troubled world is naturally an outlaw. However, no matter how desperate you are. How can there be no fear in the face of war.
It's messy!
When Matsunaga Shu opened his eyes from the left and right, the entire castle town was completely in a panic. Countless townspeople fled from the castle town of Shinkiyama Castle under the leadership of the merchants and merchants in the city.
"Hehe, presumably that old fox must have a headache now!" Violent overage pseudo-Lori Oda Nobuko sat on the back of her second-generation Nanban famous horse, and smiled at Wang Tian heresy on the side.
"No, he must now be using violent means to suppress the departing townspeople, using a high-pressure policy to organize and assemble the army. Well, no matter what he's doing, there's absolutely no way he's going to have the energy to take care of us anyway. Wang Tianxie did not agree with Oda Nobuko.
"Of course! He would never have imagined that our army had already arrived at his doorstep! Nobuko Oda laughed.
Truly. As early as the afternoon of the day when Matsui Yuxian went to Xingui Mountain, the two had already led 50,000 troops out of Xingui Mountain.
The evening of the day when a riot broke out in the castle of Shingui. That is, on the evening of the second day after Matsui Yukan's departure, he had already arrived near Koriyama, which was far away from Nobuki Mountain.
Night fell quickly, and the time soon came to the time of the child, that is, eleven o'clock in the evening of Wang Tianxie's previous life.
"Oda Ghost Army! Shun Qingshi! Target Kataoka Castle! The whole army is out of battle! ”
Wang Tianxie looked up at the sky, and then looked at the Xingui Mountain City in the distance, and pulled out the "demon knife" on his waist with a "choking" with his right hand. Oni Shine Pill "Daitai Knife." The corners of his mouth first smiled, and then he pointed to a city not far from Xingui Mountain and shouted.
"Hey, hey!"
Standing behind Wang Tianxi, Takenaka Hanbei, Yukihara Ryao, and Maeda Keiji, a group of samurai above the general level of the Oda Ghost Army, and the Eight Thousand Ghost Army Horse Iron Artillery Team hurriedly shouted loudly.
As a general under the jurisdiction of Wang Tianxi, he was accompanied by Tsutsui Shunkei, who was appointed by Oda Nobuko as the "guardian of Yamato country".
Compared to the momentum of the Oda Ghost Army, the 15,000 Yamato National Football Light Team led by Shunkei Tsutsui. Obviously, the momentum was much weaker, and Oda Nobuko frowned.
There is no way, Tsutsui Shunkei's military formation is even worse than the second echelon of the Oda family, which was defeated in the retreat of Kanesaki Castle in Echizen Province that year.
In fact, this can't be blamed on Shunkei Tsutsui.
After all, the Yamato country where Tsutsui Shunkei is stationed does not have Wang Tianxie, a guy who can be called a famous (changing) devotional (state) action, so naturally he will not make some fear drills such as "blood pool hell", and he will not give up if he does not play his soldiers badly.
Wang Tianxi's target was Kataoka Castle, a branch city located in Ojimachi, southeast of the foothills of Mount Shinki.
After Wang Tianxie's army array came out, Oda Nobuko also drew the big sword at his waist.
"Sakuma Nobumori is out of the ranks, target Jinsheng Temple!"
"Nobuki Ikeda is out of the ranks, and the target is Tachino Castle!"
……
One after another, orders were issued from the mouth of Oda Nobuko, and the elders (ashes) and important ministers (war maniacs) who were named shouted to defend the prestige of the Oda family.
After all, this is the third time that Matsunaga Shu, the "No. 1 rebel of the Warring States", has rebelled against the Oda family, which can be said to be a great shame.
After Oda Nobuko arranged all the orders, he waved the big sword in his hand in the direction of Koriyama Castle, which was built next to Koriyama, and shouted loudly: "The whole army! Out of the line! ”
If every family elder and important minister can successfully complete her orders, Matsunaga Hide's Nobuki Mountain Castle will be completely isolated.
Let's not talk about Oda Nobuko and even the elders and important ministers of the Oda family, but look at Wang Tianxie's side.
When Nobuko Oda brandished the Great Tai Sword and rushed towards Koriyama Castle first, the combined army of Wang Tianxian and Tsutsui Shunkei had already rushed to the vicinity of Kataoka Castle 600 meters.
Kataoka Castle is not so much a castle as a group of Buddhist temples.
If you want to capture Kataoka Castle, the most important thing is not the main castle, but the Buddhist manors around Kataoka Castle, such as Kofukuji Temple, Hokoji Temple, Xi'an Temple, and Daruma Temple.
Yes, it's the manor.
The large and small estates that were built around Kataoka Castle in all directions were owned by owners and priests from nearby temples.
It is true that in this troubled era of the Warring States Period, the most powerful Buddhism was Ishiyama Honganji Temple, followed by Mt. Hiei, and then it was the turn of the branches, branches, and sects of Buddhism other than the Ichijo sect.
However, with the assistance of the Huangquan Ghost Maiden clan, Wang Tianxie set fire to Mt. Hiei, and together with the Iceberg Big Cat Imperial Sister Li Huamei, Nelaizhong, Yukawa Zhong, and Okugii Zhong, they captured Ishiyama Honganji.
As a result, these originally second- and third-rate branches of Buddhism have turned into phoenixes and become the masters of one party.
After a long run, the difference between the Oda Ghost Army and the Yamato National Football Light Team became more and more obvious.
Seeing this scene, Wang Tianxie had to make a change.
"Keiji, your target is Kofukuji!"
"Hanbei, your goal is the Radiant Temple!"
"Liang, your target is Xi'an Temple!"
"The rest of the ghost army, come with me to attack Daruma Temple!"
"Shun Qing! Your fifteen-thousand-strong army will give me all the surrounding manors and besiege Kataoka Castle! ”
Wang Tianxie stopped the second-generation Nanban famous horse "Oni Lu Mo" under his crotch at a distance of 500 meters from the outermost part of Kataoka Castle, turned the horse's head and instructed Maeda Keiji, Takenaka Hanbei, Yukihara Ryo and Tsutsui Shunqing behind him.
"Imperial Will!"
The Oda Ghost Army was divided into four routes, and under the leadership of Wang Tianxi, Maeda Keiji, Takenaka Hanbei, and Yukihara Ryo, they pounced on the surrounding temples.
As for Tsutsui Shunkei, after agreeing loudly, he took his 15,000 ashigaru team to the soft (Buddhism) persimmon (manor).
The more than 1,000 monks of Daruma Temple were completely unable to resist the offensive of the Oda Ghost Army under Wang Tianxi's command, and they were soon captured.
When Wang Tianxie was sitting in the main hall for a short rest, Takenaka Hanbei and Xue Yuan Liang also came with good news.
Only Maeda Keiji, who attacked Kofukuji Temple, was met with strong resistance and no good news came for a long time.
It wasn't until the evening of the same day, after a full day of offensive and defensive battles, that Keiji Maeda finally took Kofukuji into his hands.
With the good news of Keiji Maeda, Tsutsui Shunkei finally captured the Buddhist manor that belonged to the Kofukuji forces, and Kataoka Castle was like a little royal sister who had been stripped into a little light pig, showing it in front of everyone.
Wang Tianxie did not take advantage of the night to attack Kataoka Castle, but only led a combined army of more than 20,000 people to besiege Kataoka Castle.
It's not that he doesn't want to attack the city, but after a whole day of siege and land, the fifteen thousand foot light team led by Tsutsui Shunqing has only more than 12,000 left.
Moreover, it is obvious that the ultimate fatigue can be seen, and even the weapons are already unstable, and only know the more than 12,000 military formations that are panting.
The only thing that made Wang Tianxie feel relieved was that although the Oda Ghost Army also showed a trace of fatigue, its momentum was still like a rainbow, as if a tiger could kill ten. (To be continued......)
