Chapter 680: Ashigaru's counterattack
As the emperor, he said such a remark, and the agitation outside the castle was immediately quelled, and the soldiers surrounding the castle all looked up at the castle in surprise.
Under the glow of the setting sun, a figure wearing a brocade robe and showing luxury stood at the head of the city, although the other party stood on the head of the city, but the majestic aura surprised everyone.
Many people can't help but think of the legend of Fuso, the emperor is a descendant of the gods granted by God, and when the emperor ascends the throne and holds the imperial power, when he appears in Kyoto Castle, he will be blessed and protected by the imperial emperors of the past dynasties, as well as the gods of Fuso, and will exude an aura that can be enough to shock the kings of the four directions.
Oda Nobumitsu in the distance, looking at the figure on the head of the city, also felt an unprecedented pressure, even if he was far away, he could still truly feel the majestic aura.
Bai Meng next to him couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice: "Amazing, I didn't expect the emperor to be able to awaken the residual breath of the emperors of that city and gather the momentum of the emperors of the past dynasties to bless himself." ”
When Oda Nobumitsu heard Bai Meng's words, he suddenly woke up from the feeling of being oppressed before, looked at Bai Meng and asked, "Then, what are we going to do?" It seems that we can't attack this city now, and the current situation seems to be starting to turn against us. ”
Bai Meng quietly stared at Kyoto City in the distance, his expression became a little solemn at this moment, obviously he was a little unsure of what to do now, and the current situation was a little unexpected to him.
However, Bai Meng soon came to his senses, looked at the Kyoto City and said, "Let's continue to hold our troops and see what those guys in the city plan to do."
With the emperor coming forward, the restlessness outside the city completely subsided, and after hearing the emperor's persuasion, many soldiers besieging the city began to have some strange thoughts in their hearts.
They began to question the news they had heard from the upper echelons of the commanding them, and they wanted to choose to surrender to the people of the city, or even to join the emperor and in turn attack the samurai and daimyo who commanded them.
Lucius stood in the tower on the wall. Looking at the situation below through the window, Sakura Rinko seemed to be completely integrated with the whole city, blessed by the many forces in the city, and was also a little surprised, and couldn't help but mutter: "No wonder, no wonder Sakura Rinko has always wanted to return to Kyoto." ”
After a pause, Lucius continued to say to himself with a stern expression: "It turns out that this city has the blessing of the soul power of the emperors of the past, and the emperors here can obtain the power of almost a god. ”
No. 3 and No. 4 glanced at each other when they heard this, and then No. 4 asked in a low voice, "Your Highness." If the Emperor has the power to be close to the gods, then we can't suppress her, and if that Sakura Rinko suddenly turns against us, then what should we do?
Number Three is also a little worried at the moment, after all, although Lucius has the protection of the resting place, but now that he is in the east, no one knows if the resting place can still help Lucius?
And if it is really according to what Lucius said, Sakura Rinko has been blessed by the power of the emperors of the past dynasties, and has obtained the powerful power of the gods hidden in the entire Kyoto. So if she suddenly wants to attack Lucius, the result will really be worrying, and no one dares to say what the result will be?
Although No. 3 and No. 4 were a little nervous, Lucius was not nervous. On the contrary, he said calmly: "Since we choose to cooperate with Sakura Rinko, then at least we have to trust her." ”
When Lucius was talking to No. 3 and No. 4, the emperor outside became more and more imposing, and her words became more harsh: "If you still admit that you are Fuso. Then you should disperse immediately, and if you really want to be loyal to me, I hope you will be able to show enough loyalty. ”
At this moment, no one dared to underestimate her. No one will regard her as a woman, in the eyes of everyone she is just an emperor, she is a god.
The people inside and outside the castle held out for a moment, and soon a man with a spear stood up and walked straight away from the army outside the castle and towards Kyoto Castle in front of him.
The ashigaru holding the spear walked to the gate of Kyoto City, directly discarded the spear in his hand, and then knelt on the ground and bowed to the castle: "The villain is willing to be loyal to the emperor, and is willing to break away from the previous one, and from now on only obey the edict of the emperor, but he orders the villain not to dare to disobey." ”
Ashigaru who stood up was only a soldier at the lowest level, and it could be said that he was barely even a samurai, but at this moment, his voice seemed to be loud and loud, which shocked everyone.
I don't know how long later, a general wearing rattan armor walked out of the army, pointed at the ashiki with a Mo knife in his hand and shouted: "Damn bastard, you, you dare to leave the army without permission, are you guilty?"
To everyone's surprise, not only did the ashigaru not have any panic, but stood up directly, turned his head to look at the general who scolded him, grabbed the spear in his hand, and suddenly rushed towards the general with an arrow step, and passed the spear in his hand through the general's throat with lightning speed.
Ashigaru took two steps forward, caught the spear that pierced the general's throat, shook the spear slightly, shattered the general's head, and stood there with the spear in his hand, as if he were a god of killing.
Whether it was the people at the head of the city or the soldiers outside the city, they were all stunned when they saw this situation, and no one thought that a person who was looked down on by everyone would have such terrifying strength.
Sakura Rinko stood at the head of the castle, staring at the figure standing in the sunset, feeling extremely excited in her heart, feeling that she had discovered a very powerful samurai, and in the future she might become a fierce general under her command, and become her most powerful assistant in charge of the whole Fuso.
So Sakura Rinko asked, "Ashigaru, can I tell you your name?"
The ashigaru knelt down again, clenched his fists and replied solemnly: "Back to Your Majesty, the villain was born low and has no surname, and his name is 'Hiyoshi Maru'." ”
"Hiyoshi Maru?" Sakura Rinko didn't have any surprise, after all, the other party was just a ashigaru, the most low-ranking soldier in the entire army, and most of such soldiers were born poor, and it was normal for them to have no surname.
After thinking about it, Sakura Rinko Hongsheng said to Hiyoshimaru: "Since you don't have a surname, and you are the first person to submit to me today, and you killed a rebellious thief for me, I think you are my lucky star, so I will give you the surname 'Toyotomi', and your name will be Toyotomi Hiyoshimaru in the future." ”
"Wow......" There was an uproar outside the city, you must know that all the people with surnames in Fusang are nobles, and even many of them have a certain blood connection with the royal family.
Rather, being able to receive a surname from the emperor himself is equivalent to receiving a gift from the gods, which is simply a supreme honor, and it is something that many Fuso people dare not think of.
Toyotomi Hiyoshimaru was stunned at first, but then quickly came to his senses again, and hurriedly kowtowed to the city, and at the same time shouted in his mouth: "Toyotomi Hiyoshi Maru Wan Xie Emperor Xià gave the surname." ”
The Emperor then said to Toyotomi Hiyoshimaru: "Toyotomi-kun does not need to be polite, I now give you a task, you can recruit those soldiers and samurai who are willing to submit to me outside the city, you will become their commander, and you can command those people alone, and how many people can be gathered depends on your ability." ”
Toyotomi Hiyoshimaru couldn't believe his ears, knowing that being able to build his own army was something that only a well-established or powerful samurai and samurai could do.
Now, he has obtained the emperor's personal permission, which is equivalent to saying that the emperor has given him the status of a daimyo and gives him the power to command the army.
Toyotomi Hiyoshimaru did not hesitate, quickly stood up, raised the spear in his hand, turned his head to look at the army behind him, at this moment he was alone in the face of tens of thousands of troops, obviously the city gate behind him could not be opened to him, it seemed that he was completely isolated and could only wait for death.
But in fact, Toyotomi Hiyoshimaru saw the expectation in the eyes of many soldiers, and more people hoped to follow him and become a member of the army loyal to the emperor.
Toyotomi Hiyoshimaru took a deep breath, and then shouted to the army: "Everyone, as Fuso, what are you waiting for? This is your chance to be loyal to His Majesty, do you still want to become sinners through the ages? Even after death, were you sent to the Nine Shadows Abyss by the gods?"
Lu Xius, who was standing in the castle tower and watching, heard Toyotomi Hiyoshimaru's words, and the corners of his eyes jumped suddenly, and he exclaimed: "This guy is a talent, not only ruthless, but also knows how to pull tiger skin." ”
As soon as Lucius's words fell, soldiers began to stand up one after another, abandoning their previous lord, and choosing to walk towards Toyotomi Hiyoshimaru.
In just a few moments, a lot of people gathered around Toyotomi Hiyoshimaru, and the number was still increasing, and it seemed that many soldiers had interrupted to follow Toyotomi Hiyoshimaru.
This situation made those daimyo hiding in the army a little unbearable, and one of the daimyo stood up and roared angrily: "Stop, you bastards, you dare to betray me, you damn bastards, I will let you understand the fate of betraying me, I will let you die a bad death." ”
As he spoke, the daimyo rushed out of the army and rushed straight towards Toyotomi Hiyoshimaru, and it seemed that despite the previous events, those daimyo still did not take Toyotomi Hiyoshimaru seriously.
In the face of the daimyo who burst out with the power of demons and rushed towards him frantically, Toyotomi Hiyoshimaru did not panic in the slightest, and stood quietly in place waiting for the other party to rush in front of him.
At the moment when the other party swung his knife and slashed at him, Toyotomi Hiyoshi Maru shot at a very fast speed, and the tip of the gun pierced the daimyo's chest directly, and the daimyo was directly provoked by Toyotomi Hiyoshi Maru, and then when he was dying, the daimyo vaguely heard the other party say: "My lord, I'm afraid you don't know that you are the tenth daimyo to die at my hands like this."
