In the middle of the night on February 14, 1562, the sky was pitch black, and there was no light at all, not to mention the stars, not even the moon, which should have been shining.

The reason for such a noxious night is not because the clouds are too thick, nor because it is raining heavily, but because of ......

"Xinzi...... No, I'm so tired, our demonic energy is running out, it's up to you next! ”

The delicate voice echoed on a flat ground in the Ikoma Mountains northwest of Heiankyo.

As for the person who said this, it was a little Lori wearing a pale yellow kimono with eight big furry tails on her back and two equilateral triangular fluffy ears on her head.

Little Lori sat cross-legged in the middle of the ground, one of the big furry tails behind her was emitting a dazzling golden light, her mouth was wide open, and the billowing black smoke was coming out of Little Lori's mouth endlessly.

"Chiyoko, you're so weak! Huh! Look at us! ”

The answer was another little loli wearing a pale cyan kimono, a thick, round fluffy tanuki tail swinging in the wind, and a pair of tanuki ears on her head.

This little Lori also sat cross-legged on the flat ground, and her hands kept forming magic seals.

Gusts of wind continued to pour out from the French seal, blowing the black mist emitted by the little friends into the night sky endlessly, enveloping the entire mountain city country and continuing to disperse.

The reason why the night is so dark tonight is that the culprits are these two Lori.

has eight tails, it is the golden-haired nine-tailed jade-faced sky fox little Lori Chiyoko; And with a pair of cute tanuki ears, it is the beaver little Lori Xinzi.

Around the two little Lori, there are overwhelming fluorescent green weird butterflies. These butterflies seem to be guarded, not only surrounding the two little Lori, but also playing a role in guarding.

"Miko, it's so boring. Will anyone really come as 'Daddy who can only eat but can't watch' says? The delicate voice came from the mouths of the eight little Loli who looked exactly the same, and asked the little friend next to him who had two pairs of fluorescent green wings on his back.

The eight big snakes named Changzi, Kyuki, Tianmei, Xiazi, Meizi, Shika, Jiazi, and Yaoxi, are sitting near Chiyoko and Xinzi with their little friend Phantom Demon Butterfly Little Lori Sasaki Yako, and are guarding the two little Lori's who are constantly releasing demonic energy.

It's just that from the title of the eight big snakes and little Lori, who made Wang Tianxie feel extremely helpless, "Dad who can only eat but can't watch". It is not difficult to hear that they are very unhappy with the task given to them by Wang Tianxie.

"I don't know, but Brother Heavenly Evil told us to guard here, there should be a reason for him, right?" Phantom Butterfly Little Lori Miko replied as she fluttered her fluorescent green wings, spread her hands flat, and let a Phantom Butterfly clone fall on it.

"Ah......hh The problem is, it's so boring! We really want to play in that temple! The eight big snakes and little Lori complained to their friends in unison.

Truly. Rather than running into the mountains to swallow clouds and mist, staying in the Honnoji Temple is indeed much more interesting.

No, in the eyes of the Yachi-Orochi-chan, not only in Honnoji, but even in the castle town of Heiankyo is much more fun than in this deep mountain.

Moreover, although today is February 14, it is not a day for men and women to hug each other, know and love each other.

Today is the day when the god of fire, Kaguto, is wreaking havoc in the town of Heian Castle. This makes the eight big snakes and little Loli feel even more like "there will definitely be fun things".

The second echelon of the 11,000 Oda Army of Mitsuhide Lori had already rushed into Heiankyo an hour ago and set fire everywhere. As a result, the entire Heiankyo was deafened by the sound of killing.

This was the first time that such a large-scale riot had occurred since the Oda family settled in Heiankyo, following the rebellion of Matsunaga Shu, the "No. 1 Uncle of the Warring States".

All the ministers who lived north of the three main roads restrained the garrison warriors in their homes, ordering them to keep their gates closed to prevent the rioters from attacking them.

No way. This is because they have discovered that the spearhead of this riot is directed at Honnoji Temple, which is located at the junction of the "Nishito-in main road" and the "Shijo Bomen small road" in the lower town of Heian Kinkyo.

By the way, as an aside, as early as when Wang Tianxie first came to Heianjing, he felt endless complaints about the names of these east-west paths and north-south roads.

But unfortunately. The names of these roads and small roads cannot be changed by him, so every time he hears the names of these streets, it is a headache for him.

When the ministers discovered that the enemy attack was only aimed at Honnoji Temple, they expressed their deep sorrow for the Oda family, led by Nobuko Oda and Wang Tianxi, who were temporarily living in the temple, and they were glad that the riot was not aimed at them.

As for the rescue...... What is Rescue? Can you eat it?

"Miyake Sun Juro and Yasuda are guards, and the two of you lead the four thousand foot light teams, and the target is Honnoji!" The voice of the bright big Lori is particularly loud in this dark night sky.

"Yes!"

The two samurai who were named by Mitsuhide Lori hurriedly replied loudly, and led their four thousand foot light teams to rush in the direction of Honnoji.

Subsequently, Mitsuhide Lori ordered the 1,500 foot light team to attack Myokenji Temple, which is located north of Honnoji Temple, which is located at the junction of the "West Dongyuan Jo Road" and the "Sanjo Fangmen Trail", and the 1,500 foot light team to attack Myokakuji Temple, which is only one street away from Myokenji Temple.

Among the remaining 4,000 foot light teams, Mitsuhide Big Lori herself led 2,500 foot light teams to attack the office of the representative hall and the Nijo Imperial Palace, who were in charge of the garrison of Heiankyo.

The last 1,500 ashigaru troops were rampaging through the streets of the castle, attacking every Oda samurai they encountered along the way.

In the Honnoji Temple, which was the main target of Mitsuhide Da Lori, Oda Nobuko's Konoe Banner head Mori Ran Maru, Mori Lan Maru's own brothers Mori Fang Maru, Mori Ri Maru, Iikawa Miyamatsu, Ogawa Aihei, Susukita Yogoro, Rachikawa Kohachiro, Takahashi Toramatsu, Yamada Yataro, Otsuka Yazaburo and other guards have long held the big sword in their hands and are ready for battle.

The more than 20 maids who had been sleeping in the wings on both sides of the courtyard had already retreated to a dark longhouse without oil lamps in the Honnoji Temple according to the orders of Wang Tianxi and Oda Nobuko, and knelt on the wooden floor to hold their breath and wait for the riot to end.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

……

The Atsugi Grand Entrance, which was closed tightly in Honnoji Temple, finally came with a low crashing sound.

At this time, there were only 300 ashigaru in the Honnoji Temple, and even if you add the monks, door guards, and men in the temple, there were only 400 people.

It is no exaggeration to say that with this military formation of less than 400 people, if you want to resist the 4,000 ashigaru used by Guangxiu Lori to attack the Honnoji Temple, it is really a bit of a "Ya Pear".

Soon, the large entrance of Honnoji Temple was set off by the sound of "rattling, rattling......", and cracks like spider webs first appeared, and then suddenly split apart.

"The enemy is in the Honnoji Temple! Come on! ”

Seeing that the large entrance of Honnoji Temple had been shattered, Miyake Sunjuro and Yasuda Sakubei hurriedly shouted loudly and ordered their subordinates to charge.

Unexpectedly, at this moment......

"Whoosh!"

A feather arrow of about one-third of a meter instantly hit Ashigaru, who was the first to rush into the temple.

The archer was obviously very strong, and after the feather arrow pierced the left chest of the ashigaru, it plunged headlong into the little friend behind the ashigaru.

This was followed by countless feathered arrows passing through the main entrance and shooting at the Ashigaru team of Miyake Sunjuro and Yasuda Sakubei.

Miyake Sunjuro hurriedly hid on both sides of the main entrance and squinted his eyes into the temple, hoping to see who the archery shooter was.

Unfortunately, it was too dark tonight, and there were no oil lamps or candles in the temple, so he couldn't spot the enemy at all.

That's when ......

"Gentlemen! Shoot in unison! ”

A shout came from the Honnoji Temple.

"Whoosh ......"

With this shout, nearly 300 bows and arrows began to draw bows and shoot arrows in the direction of the main entrance of Honnoji Temple, and one after another feathered arrows were accurately shot at the main entrance of Honnoji Temple.

"It's His Highness the "ghost"! Torch! Hurry up and extinguish all the torches! ”

Yasuda Sakubei heard the shouts in the Honnoji Temple, and hurriedly shouted loudly to the military formation under his command, and at the same time snatched the blazing torch from the hand of an ashigaru in front of him, and threw it on the ground several times until the torch was completely extinguished.

Miyake Sunjuro understood at a glance why his little friend did this, and he hurriedly shouted loudly in his mouth.

In fact, these lit torches are as conspicuous as one lamp after another in the dark night when you can't see your fingers!

On the contrary, the three hundred foot light teams guarding the Honnoji Temple did not light a single candle at all, and the entire Honnoji Temple was dark.

It's a pity that even though the reaction of Miyake Sunjuro and Yasuda Sakubei has been very timely, the two of them are still under the disadvantage of the enemy's darkness and self-knowledge, and they are constantly being sent by the three hundred ashigaru in the temple.

Moreover, after hearing Wang Tianxi's voice, although the Ashigaru team below did not have much turmoil, those low-level samurai who led the military formation as the head of Ashigaru involuntarily stopped.

This can't be blamed on them, it is really Wang Tianxie's prestige in the Oda family, except for Oda Nobuko, who is the head of the family, no one else can resist it.

Especially thanks to the separation of soldiers and peasants that has been implemented for many years, almost all the members of the military formation of Guangxiu Lori belong to the second echelon of the Oda family.

These second-echelon ashigaru leaders have all been thrown into the blood pool by Wang Tianxie and soaked for several hours to train, and their fear of Wang Tianxie is by no means comparable to words.

"Whole army! Rush into Honnoji Temple now! Wise adults have a life, whoever can beg for the death of that evil ghost will be sentenced to ten bounties! Seeing that his subordinates were starting to hesitate, Sanyake Sunjuro and Yasuda Sakubei hurriedly shouted loudly. (To be continued......)
