The fire in Catie City was naturally detected by the Oda Army besieging the city, and Niwa Nagahide and the others didn't know what was going on, so they could only wait for the spies outside Catie City to come back, and he was afraid that it was the enemy's ploy.

While Niwa Nagahide, Akechi Mitsuhide and others were waiting in the temple, a samurai rushed towards the Oda army camp, and before he could get close to the camp, he was stopped by the guards on the road.

Seven or eight spears suddenly rushed out from both sides of the road and surrounded him, and the warrior almost fell from his horse, when he shouted anxiously:

"In the lower Nizi Katsuhisa, His Royal Highness's retainers are clear in this city, and I have something to report to my lord."

"His Royal Highness Katsuhisa's retainers!"

The samurai obviously also knew about the Daimyo of Niko Katsuhisa, and his face became gentle:

"Please dismount, hand over your weapons, and we'll take you into camp."

Kiyomitsu also knew that it was right to be so vigilant in wartime, and although he was anxious, he had no choice, so he obediently handed over his horse and saber to them, and was escorted by them to the middle and walked to the main camp.

After Kiyomitsu entered the camp and confirmed that it was the retainer of the Niko, the Oda army returned the swords and horses;

After he saw Niko Katsuhisa, he hurriedly told all the information about the civil strife in Catjiang City, the fire that caused the turret, and the capture of Sugitani and others.

"My lord, the Jiahe people we captured explained the location of the hidden hand gate in Catjiang City, and our army can attack the city at any time, but he just didn't move, saying that everything should be decided by the lord."

As soon as Kiyomitsu's words fell, Shikanosuke also said excitedly:

"I immediately gathered the Gamo army to attack immediately, and this time the first credit is ours."

Qingguang in this city is a little puzzled, Pu Shengjun listens to the lord? But he didn't continue to think about it, anyway, it was important to make meritorious service first, and the other samurai were also staring at Katsuhisa.

But Katsuhisa thought for a moment and then said to the generals:

"Have you forgotten that we are guests? Kasuke, you gather your troops first, and I'll report to His Royal Highness Niwa. ”

"Oh!"

All the generals were amazed! Don't you want to take such a big credit? But now that the situation is urgent, everyone can only obey Katsuhisa's order first, and hurriedly gather all the troops.

Katsuhisa also walked briskly towards Baekjeji Temple halfway up the mountain; I am also constantly thinking in my heart: breaking the city is indeed a great achievement, but if the Nunzi army breaks the city alone, where will the faces of Oda Naoto's ministers be placed, and they will also offend all the Oda retainers who went out this time, and Oda Nobunaga may not be happy; Hanbei's thoughts should be the same as mine.

At this time, Niwa Nagahide and Akechi Mitsuhide were seriously discussing how to build a branch city and how to besiege Catoe Castle, but they saw that Niko Katsuhisa was brought in by his subordinates.

Niko Katsuhisa bowed to Niwa Nagahide:

"General Qiqi, the hexagonal army in the city of Panjiang and the Jiahe people are in civil strife, and the turret was burned by fire, and now the chaos in the city is a good time to break through in one fell swoop."

Niwa Nagahide and Akechi Mitsuhide looked at each other, the two of them first showed surprise, and then they were full of doubts, only to see Mitsuhide say:

"You need to be careful about this matter, in case it is another enemy's plan......"

Katsuhisa knew that Mitsuhide was afraid of being burned by fire during the day, so he hurriedly brought the matter of the half-guard together, and had already determined the location of the hand gate of Catjiang City.

"Half-guard! I didn't expect him to be here. ”

As soon as Niwa Nagahide's voice fell, Akechi Mitsuhide also said:

"Even if the enemy tried to do so, he would not deliberately burn down such an important defensive facility, and it was really civil strife."

Katsuhisa looked at the two of them still in ink, and felt bored for a while, if I led the army alone, I would have killed it a long time ago, but I still held on.

At this time, the spies of the Oda Army hurriedly ran in:

"Catfish ...... The fire in Catjiang City, the shouting of killing shook the sky, and it seemed that the enemy was in civil strife. ”

At this time, Niwa Nagahide and Akechi Mitsuhide no longer had any doubts, and Mitsuhide rushed out and shouted:

"Inform all armies and immediately go out to Catriver City."

"Oh!"

The samurai guarding outside hurriedly rushed down the mountain to inform the generals of the various armies.

Katsuhisa breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the Oda army is all moving, then this battle should be nine out of ten, and the specific tactics will be arranged by Niwa Nagahide and Akechi Mitsuhide! But the half-guard is really a lucky general, and this can happen to happen.

The horn sounded, and the troops quickly left the camp under the leadership of their respective samurai, and some of them ran with spears on their bare bars, and they forgot to wear their hats; Some of them still remember to put on the carcass, although these ashigaru carcass iron pieces are so thin that they have almost no defense, but it's better than being naked, isn't it?

The Oda army was almost the whole army dispatched this time, and even Niwa Nagahide himself personally led the army into the field; The army began to attack the city from all directions with torches, and the main thing was to attract the attention of the defenders, because the Duowen oars at the Otemon Gate were burned, so that the defenders' counterattack was greatly reduced.

Niwa Nagahide sent Ushiichi Ota and his retainer Katsunari Toda to lead two hundred troops to the Tsutemon Gate, and demanded that the half-guards obey Ushiichi Ota's command; Shengjiu has no opinion on this decision, and I didn't plan to compete with you in the first place.

At this time, the city of Catjiang was even more chaotic, and there were still some remnants of the Koga who fled in the city that had not been cleared; The Oda army suddenly began to attack again, and all the positions on the periphery were lost, and the tiger's mouth was also in danger.

At this critical moment, Rokkaku Yoshiken actually led the flag to retreat to Honmaru, Catie Zhenjing looked at the closed door of Honmaru, and a feeling of powerlessness spread throughout his body, at this moment he felt how ridiculous his persistence was; But this is your own city, and even if you die, you have to fight until the last moment.

On the one hand, he sent a team of 100 people to besiege and kill the remnants of Koga who were arson everywhere in the city, and on the other hand, he commanded his remaining army of more than 400 to guard the gates.

At the cliff of the mountain and water behind Catjiang City, there is a long and endless queue on the path that can only accommodate one person, no one lights a torch, everyone pulls one by one and bends down to stop here, and at the end of the path is a place covered by vines and small trees; Under the watchful eye of the Oda samurai, Hotaru Mochizuki carefully peeled off the vines, only to see a small door one person high appear in the eyes of everyone.

Ota Niu was overjoyed when he saw this, although he was very curious about how this woman knew the location of this door, this should be a secret that only a few people in Catie Zhenjing knew! But it's too late to ask now.

Ushiichi Ota hurriedly let the two ashiki slam open the small door, everyone clenched their weapons, they grabbed the firefly and let her go in front, and everyone began to rush in.

The half-guards watched the Oda army rush into the castle one after another, and they didn't know what they were thinking......

Ota Ushiichi and the others rushed in to take a look, and there was not a single guard around, so it seemed that it should be Honmaru.

At this time, a small group of hexagonal troops were also running towards the door in a panic, and the two armies were slightly stunned when they met, and in the shouts of Ota Ushiichi, the two hundred Oda troops quickly drowned the group of hexagonal troops.

"It's the enemy!"

"Ahh The Oda Army came in. ”

"The city is broken!"

Rokkaku Yoshiken originally wanted to escape from Catie City through the Shoju Gate, but he actually bumped into Oda Jun halfway, and he immediately realized that it should be the location of the Tsutemen that was exposed, why was this Catie Sadakei so careless.

He and the carrying Rokkaku Yoshiji hid in the palace under the desperate protection of the retainers and the banners.

As soon as Ota Niu knew that he had encountered a big fish, he hurriedly commanded everyone to storm the palace; At this time, the half-guard opened the door of Honmaru with three hundred troops and rushed into Ninomaru.

"The city is broken!"

"Oh!"

Loud cheers resounded throughout the city, and as the Oteemon Gate and the Tiger's Mouth were opened, thousands of Oda troops rushed into the city like a stormy wave, devouring all those who dared to resist.

"Surrender! I respect you as a true samurai and let you die a dignified death. ”

At this time, Catie Zhenjing was surrounded by a group, he didn't answer Akechi Mitsuhide's words, at this time, he was covered in blood on his head, laughing like a madman, his bloodshot eyes stared at Akechi Mitsuhide fiercely:

"My today is just your tomorrow, hahaha~"

Then he decisively killed himself.

Guangxiu sighed, this is how desperate he is for this world, so he won't even give himself the opportunity to cut his stomach.

"Fire!"

"Honmaru is on fire."

At this time, everyone stopped, looking at the sky-high fire, and Mitsuhide was about to go to Honmaru to check, when a loud pop sounded in his ears.

It turned out to be a woman who jumped off Honmaru Castle and fell not far from Catie Zhenjing, and the blood of the two slowly flowed together; This is Sadakei's wife, Ukai.

This scene was also seen by Katsuhisa, who had just rushed over, the daughter of the martial arts family was actually as strong as a fight, this was the first time that Katsuhisa's heart was shocked!

With the fall of Catfish City, Rokkaku Yoshixian's father and son set fire to the palace and died by self-immolation; Omi famous family Sasaki Rokkaku clan is officially extinct!
