Chapter 559: Start Being a Devil Today!
When the generals of the Oda family saw Wang Tianxie come out, they became as if they had found the backbone of the main heart and surrounded Wang Tianxie's side.
"Your Highness the Heavenly Evil, a large number of torches suddenly lit up in Biei Mountain, hehehe, I'm afraid I'm preparing to sneak attack our army." Monkey Feather Chai Hideyoshi saw Wang Tianxie walking out of the main tent, and said to him with a grin.
Wang Tianxie glanced at the monkey Yu Chai Hideyoshi, and then raised his foot and kicked at the monkey, and scolded with a smile in his mouth: "You monkey obviously knows that the other party will not dare to sneak attack our army, and you want to say this, hum!" ”
After the monkey got up from the ground, he first patted the dust on his body, then rubbed his hands, put on a very obscene appearance and continued to giggle and said: "Your Highness, we have done a wicked thing for you, you see this reward......"
Wang Tianxie took out a golden bean from his arms and threw it to the monkey Yuchai Hideyoshi, causing the other party to smile when he came.
"Manchiyo, monkeys, what do the monks of Enryakuji Temple say?" After Wang Tianxie frolicked with everyone for a while, he opened his mouth to ask about serious matters.
The first to speak was Niwa Nagahide, who had a smile on his face after his plan succeeded, looked at Wang Tianxie and said with a smile: "Your Highness, as you expected, the group of monks and nuns in Enryakuji Temple did not intend to agree to your request at all, and restrain the group of monks and soldiers under him not to meddle in their affairs. ”
The monkey Yushiba Hideyoshi, who was standing next to him, imitated the movements and demeanor of the group of monks in Enryakuji Temple, and said in a strange voice: "Hmph! That 'ghost' of the Oda family dares to burn Mt. Hiei? It's the end of February, and that ghost wants to burn the snow-covered Mt. Hiei? No kidding! ”
After Wang Tianxie listened to the monkey's words, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, but after the others heard it, they all frowned.
"Listen to your orders. Tomorrow night Mt. Hiei will be on fire. When the ugly time is right, the whole army is out of battle! Aim for the valley and foot of Mt. Hiei! Capture all the low-lying areas for me, and wait for the fire to burn the mountains. Wang Tianxie showed a shark-like crescent-shaped smile, and announced loudly with a hideous face.
"Master, are you saying that there will really be a fire tonight?" As Wang Tianxie's apprentice, Takenaka's half-soldier looked up at the sky curiously. Then he looked at Wang Tianxie with a very suspicious look.
Indeed, although it is now a starry sky, the Takenaka Hanbei can't see it at all, and there will be signs of a fire tomorrow night.
However, all the elders and important ministers of the Oda family knew very well that Wang Tianxie was a member of the royal family in Brunei, Nanyang, before he came to this troubled era of the Warring States, and he knew more about the art of observing the sky.
So, though, feel a hint of skepticism. But he did not slack off his preparations for the battle.
Ashigaru, who should be resting, Ashigaru, who should be on duty, and Ashigaru, who should have prepared weapons and armor, are all carrying out their responsibilities according to the instructions of their respective superiors.
On March 5, 1557, all later historians regarded the ugly time of this day at one o'clock in the morning, that is, March 5, 1557, as the moment when Wang Tianxi, the "ghost of the Oda family", finally embarked on the road of "Buddha enemy".
Interestingly. All historians, experts, professors, and even the "brick family" and "beasts" have no scruples about Wang Tianxie's burning of the mountain. Shows mixed opinions.
In the mid-19th century, Arai Shiraishi, a scholar of Zhuzi, published an argument about this incident, "Those who died at the mountain gate were not His Royal Highness the Heavenly Evil, but the mountain gate", which attracted much attention at the time.
After all, neither the "brick family" nor the "beast" or the "expert" or the "professor" can deny a fact.
Since 785 A.D., the most Cheng Daishi Nunnery has lived behind Mt. Hiei. It took seven years to build Hieizanji Temple, and for 24 years, Hieizanji Temple was used as a base to promote the Tiantai Hokke sect and build a larger Garan, making Hieizanji Temple a dojo for the protection of national fortunes in Heiankyo Town.
It was not until 823 A.D. that he was given the name by the emperor. It was changed to Hieizanji Temple to Enryakuji Temple. It was not until the Heian Dynasty that Mt. Hiei and Koyasan gradually became two central sacred sites for Buddhism.
However, hundreds of years later, in the Warring States Period, Mt. Hiei had completely lost the teachings of the most Cheng master of the year, and the good wine was "silver", and he did not abide by the rules and precepts of the monks.
Therefore, whether Wang Tianxi, the "ghost of the Oda family", was the enemy of the Buddha, or whether the group of monks and nuns in Enryakuji Temple were the real "enemies of the Buddha" at that time can be said to be highly debated.
However, this is all a later story, everything at that time has long had nothing to do with Wang Tianxie. The most important thing at the moment is that we are always preparing for this large-scale and tragic battle about who the "enemy of the Buddha" is.
On March 5, 1557, when the moon Lori was happily playing with the white rabbit paper lantern that the little sister bought for her in the sky, the Oda family army attacked Mt. Hiei from all directions.
Although the monks of Mt. Hiei also had iron cannons in their hands, they were definitely superior to the Oda family in terms of numbers.
After so many years of cooperation with Li Huamei, the big cat sister of the iceberg, the number of iron cannons of the Oda family is definitely the highest in the troubled times of the Warring States.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
The incessant sound of iron cannon firing turned the entire foot of Mt. Hiei into thunder and gunsmoke.
Although there were 3,000 monks and soldiers on Mt. Hiei, plus 19,000 Buddhist disciples, a total of more than 22,000 troops guarded the mountain gate and did not allow the army of the Oda family to advance.
However, after several rounds of heavy fire, the defense lines deployed by the monks of Mt. Hiei, Ishiyama Honganji, and Echizen Kuni's Asakura Yoshikei, a Yoshikata sick fox, in the valley and mountain peaks were easily torn apart by the Oda army.
To everyone's puzzlement, the Oda family's army only captured all the valleys and the foothills, but did not attack the upper part of the mountain.
"Alright, sisters, it's time for us to play! Let that pervert-good-lust-huh-luo-uncle have a good look at the power of the Huangquan ghost girl! Oh ho ho ho ......" A certain otome princess burst into laughter when she saw the gunfire at the foot of the mountain gradually thinning out.
"Yes! Sister-sama! Hey, hey, hey...... Let Big Brother Waveplate Candy see how good we are! More than 20 Huangquan little loli waved their little fists and shouted.
Immediately after, I saw a group of little lolias suddenly take a deep breath, raise their hands high, and keep their eyes fixed on the position above the halfway point of Mt. Hiei.
Gradually, the hot air flow gradually appeared in the sky above the palms held high by the little Lori.
A trace of black flames with a faint green glow, "poof, puff, puff......" appeared in the palm of each little Lori.
The eyes of the little loli shot a look of excitement, and the cute and delicate cherry took another breath in their mouths.
Immediately, the small flame in their hands suddenly turned into a large ball of fire with a diameter of about half a meter.
"Drink!"
A group of Huangquan little Lori let out a loud shout, and waved their hands towards the position above the halfway point of Hiei Mountain.
More than 20 large black and green fireballs flew like meteors and crashed into various positions above the halfway point of Mt. Hiei.
Countless fireballs continued to shoot from the hands of the little Lori in the direction of Mt. Hiei.
Although the large fireballs launched by each little loli are far less dense than a certain otome princess of the Huangquan ghost girl clan, the victory is that the little loli are numerous, so they are comparable.
"Ahh Fire! It's on fire! ”
"Oh no! The ghost of the Oda family set fire to the mountain! ”
"Buddha enemy! That ghost is an enemy of the Buddha! ”
Just when the army of the monks of Mt. Hiei, Ishiyama Honganji, and Yoshikei Sick Fox were surprised, a raging fire suddenly broke out in all directions.
"That'...... That ghost really dared to set fire to the mountain! Damned! Damnation will surely be meted! How can it be repaired! That Buddha enemy! The current head of Enryakuji Temple screamed in anger.
When the main central hall of Enryakuji Temple was also shrouded in flames, billowing black smoke was billowing out, and it was already halfway through the morning of March 5th. That is, around eight o'clock in the morning in Wang Tianxie's last life.
At this time, the Hiei Mountain was completely shrouded in monstrous flames and smoke, and the three towers and sixteen streams, and even the houses known as the "Three Thousand Fangs", all turned into a sea of fire.
"Ahh Those fires! You can't extinguish it with water! ”
Similar shouts came and went on Mt. Hiei, which was shocking.
It is inevitable that it cannot be extinguished by the stream, and it is emitted by the ghost and demon clan Huangquan Ghost Maiden, but it is the netherworld fire from the demon world.
Even if this kind of netherworld fire is just a netherworld ghost fire that the spirit can't control, and the slightest flame that overflows is still not something that can be extinguished by the stream of the human world.
Even people in Heiankyo, a mountain castle country, can feel that Mt. Tobiei in the distance has become a smoky and fire-filled "Imagamiyama Mountain".
"Nope! The ghost...... It's really done! This is truly earth-shattering! He...... Isn't he afraid that the people of the world will spit on him because of this? Standing on the top floor of the Great Castle Tower of the Heiankyo Nijo Imperial Palace, the current general Ashikaga Yoshiaki, the great fox of Yoshiaki, looked at Mt. Hiei in the distance and was already in a state of "flame", and his whole body trembled, and he stammered in his mouth.
The fishermen, woodcutters, and townspeople of Mt. Hiei who live in Yamashiro and Omi provinces were stunned when they looked at Mt. Hiei burning.
The time came to the time of Si Shizheng, that is, nine o'clock in the morning of Wang Tianxie's last life.
Wang Tianxie rode his second-generation Nanban famous horse "Ghost Lumo" to the front of the big torii gate in the east of Sakamoto Castle.
Behind him were Niwa Nagahide, Monkey Haba Hideyoshi, Takenaka Hanbei, and the generals of the Oda family who accompanied him this time.
Wang Tianxie first looked at the fire in the distance and gradually weakened to Birui Mountain, and gave a final order: "Gentlemen! The reason why Mt. Hiei is where it is today is completely self-inflicted! Ladies and gentlemen! The whole army obeys the order! Whether it is a monk or a layman, whether it is an old man or a young child, they will all be beheaded for public display, and no one is allowed to let go! Only by completely destroying this holy place of Buddhism, which has long been distorted, can the righteousness of the world continue! (To be continued......)
