Gao Xianda was just about to flee outside, when he found that the entire venue was surrounded by soldiers from the Miyoshi family. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In order to enjoy the people with the emperor, the Imperial Sky Tour has always allowed civilians to enter and visit. Therefore, the grounds of the Gozen Tenpan are very large, and it is not so easy to completely surround it.

Gao Xianda looked at the dense number of soldiers, and he was afraid that there must be several thousand. Although Kyoto is also considered the sphere of influence of the Miyoshi family, there are definitely not so many troops stationed here in normal times.

If it is said that after receiving the alarm, the Miyoshi family mobilized so many people to come to Qinwang in a short period of time, Gao Xianda would not believe it. Therefore, Miyoshi Changqing must have gathered soldiers in advance and stationed them nearby. Then there must be some conspiracy on his part.

Gao Xianda felt that the whole situation was getting more and more complicated.

He didn't want to be a bird when the situation was unclear, so he didn't rush out, but sneaked back and watched what happened.

"Arrest all these thieves who want to assassinate the general!" As soon as the leading general gave the order, the elite soldiers under his command rushed towards these swordsmen.

Curiously, he said "assassination of the general", not "assassination of the emperor". Although both men are the top rulers of Japan, there are differences.

The shogun is the equivalent of the "king" of Japan, with de facto dominion. But he was still a man and could be killed. The long political struggles between the daimyos, as well as the intrigues that were common within the shogun's family, resulted in the shogun's life often being short-lived. Those who can die are already considered lucky.

Although the emperor has the character "皇" in his name, he has been deified and blurred for a long time. He is more of a symbol than involved in actual political activities. At most, he is engaged in performance activities such as the Imperial Sky Tour, and gives away some honorary titles such as "Sword Saint". It can only play a role in appeasing the people and motivating the people.

But because of this, the emperor is loved by the people and cannot die. Anyone who dares to harm the emperor is an enemy of the people and will be spurned by all the people.

So no daimyo dared to attack the emperor. Of course, they are only fighting for the position of general, and there is no need to attack the emperor. As long as it is a person who really holds the real power, and what official position he wants, tell the emperor, and the emperor will grant it.

This time, the general under Miyoshi Nagakei said that the anti-thief who "assassinated the general" was not the anti-thief who "assassinated the emperor". It shows that they also know the sanctity of the emperor.

On the other hand, it is not impossible for a thief to shout to catch a thief, could it be that Miyoshi Chokei has been in the region for a long time, could it be that he has coveted the position of the general?

Of course, to be precise, the shogun of this generation, Ashikaga Yoshiteru, was also supported by Miyoshi Nagakei. After Ashikaga Yoshiteru came to power, he issued a series of decrees, which were very popular with the people. The daimyo below also expressed their desire to go to Luo to support the shogun.

This time, Ashikaga Yoshiteru participated in the Emperor's Imperial Sky Tour. Although Ashikaga Yoshiki has the title of swordsman general, and he is happy to watch the battle between swordsmen, but in this event, there are many important ministers of various famous families and even the head of the family himself. I can't tell if he will take the opportunity to hook up with a big name, and he wants to do something behind Miyoshi Changqing's back.

Miyoshi Chokei probably felt that he had a problem with his control over Ashikaga Yoshiteru, so he wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of him. At the very least, it's a wake-up call.

If not, why did he send so many soldiers?

These were soldiers in armor and armed with steel weapons, far from being comparable to the peasants who had been forcibly recruited by their lords. They are all soldiers who have undergone rigorous training and have mastered certain fighting skills, so to speak, elite troops.

10,000 such elite troops would probably have won a crushing victory against 20,000 ordinary troops composed entirely of peasants.

Miyoshi Changqing actually sent thousands of people over this time? Is he trying to kill the shogun in a desperate gamble, or does he really have the strength to show off to the other daimyos?

You know, this is an elite army, if he has such a force of 20,000 people, coupled with ordinary levies, I'm afraid that the Imagawa family will not think about Shangluo in their lives.

"This old fox may be coming for me!" Gao Xianda secretly said.

The more this is the case, the more Gao Xianda can't leave. He wants to take a good look at the troops of the Miyoshi family and know himself and his opponent. If possible, we'll have to wreak havoc on them.

These soldiers, under the leadership of the leading generals, rushed towards the swordsmen, although their combat ability was far inferior to that of these swordsmen present, but their armor was hard enough, their weapons were sharp enough, and there were many of them, which could form the effect of fighting more and less. So they pounced like a swarm of locusts, trying to annihilate all the forces that resisted.

Ito Istosai is a wise self-preservationist, and the credit is secondary, and the important thing is life. As soon as he saw that the situation was not good, he immediately retreated, and no longer attacked the sword, but focused his attention on these soldiers.

The first to suffer were the apprentices of these swordsmen. Most of their strength is average, and they accompany their masters to participate in the competition. The main role is to serve the master, massage and pinch the feet, stand on the feet to cheer, wave the flag and shout, serve tea and pour water, and so on. So in the battle of besieging the sword, it is completely useless.

Therefore, they were all concentrated on the periphery of the arena, far away from the sword, and they were not slaughtered by the sword "Sword Storm".

But at this time, these soldiers rushed in from the outside, and seeing that they were also dressed as swordsmen, and they all had swords around them, they naturally wanted to take them first.

Although these little apprentices are not as high as Jian Hao's martial arts, they still have no problem dealing with a soldier. As soon as they saw that these soldiers were actually playing, these little apprentices also took up arms one after another to protect their personal safety.

At the beginning, they boasted that they were also the apprentices of the swordsman, and they had two brushes, so they fought on their own. But where are they the opponents of the elite soldiers who cooperate tacitly? So after the initial defeat, they had no choice but to form a simple formation and make sure that there was no one on their left, right, and rear before they dared to face the enemy head-on.

After all, they have been concentrating on swordsmanship for several years, at least they can be called swordsmen, and they still have strong combat strength. Once they are able to concentrate on dealing only with frontal enemies, their strength is revealed.

Those locust-like soldiers couldn't even break through their defenses for a while.
