Hatano Hideharu and Hatano Hideuchi brothers asked Yagami Castle, and Oda Nobunaga's army came here the next day. Zeng Yi and the others finally found out that Oda Nobunaga's leading general was a guy named Akechi Mitsuhide.
The fourth child knows something about this guy. He is a famous general of the island country. An important general under Oda Nobunaga, his full name is Akechi Jubei Mitsuhide. There is quite a debate about his life experience in history. There are many historical legends. He was born in Mino Country.
A branch of the Toki Gen clan. Commonly known as Jubei and nicknamed Sakuan!
Akechi Mitsuhide's army surrounded Yagami Castle. It was said to be a large army, but in fact it only numbered more than 30,000 people. In the island country, this was already a battle-level scale. Compared with Hatano Hideharu, Hatano Hideuchi brother had more soldiers at his disposal.
Less, including the cannon fodder camp for new recruits where Zeng Yi and others were located, it only had 20,000 troops, and their morale was low, and they were short of food and water!
The war was one-sided at the beginning. Although the troops of Hatano Hideharu and Hatano Hideuchi brothers occupied the city wall, they had no intention of fighting. A few hours after the war started, Akechi Mitsuhide's troops attacked the city wall. Hatano Hideharu and Hatano Hideuchi brothers were furious.
After killing several generals in succession, the battle line was stabilized. Later, ninjas from the Hatano family were sent to the front to supervise the battle, and then they desperately repelled Akechi Mitsuhide's tentative attack!
After a tentative attack, Akechi Mitsuhide had already understood the situation faced by Hatano Hideharu and Hatano Hideau brothers. They were just struggling to the death. Akechi Mitsuhide was no longer in a hurry to attack, but began to surround without fighting!
This time, the urban area of Bashang City was even more depressed, and Zeng Yi and the others could clearly feel that there was a shortage of food and grass in Bashang City. Ordinary soldiers only had a little porridge that night! Of course, the three of them were not hungry.
In just a few moves, he became the leader of the new barracks, with hundreds of new cannon fodder under his command!
When they returned to the recruit camp that night, the three of them felt that something was very wrong in the atmosphere. After a while, several active military leaders from the recruit camp came to the three of them! "I don't know, Junichiro Koizumi, Naoto Kan, and Shinzo Abe."
Do the three of you have any opinions on today's war?" Yes, the names Junichiro Koizumi, Naoto Kan, and Shinzo Abe were the names that the three of them randomly chose for themselves in order to get along in the island country!
Upon hearing the words of these guys, Zeng Yi and the others understood that these guys were starting to prepare for a retreat! Now the situation is very clear that Hatano Hideharu and Hatano Hidena absolutely cannot stop Akechi Mitsuhide. Knowing that they can't stop them, of course these guys have to think about themselves.
There is no way out, these people are all captured strong men, but they have no idea of respecting the emperor and being patriotic!
The three of them looked at each other, and Zeng Yigu sighed and said, "Hey, what do you think? The higher-ups just treat us brothers as cannon fodder, so we have to be careful on our own! I don't know if we can survive tomorrow."
When those people heard Zeng Yi's words, they all smiled, and one of them whispered: "Then three adults, why don't you think of a way out for yourself?"
Zeng Yi pretended to be surprised: "Do these brothers have connections?"
"Three adults, don't worry. As long as the time comes in the future and you cooperate with me, I guarantee that the three adults will be safe and sound, and they will most likely be promoted and make a fortune!"
"Then the three of us will leave it to you!"
Akechi Mitsuhide has been besieging the castle for two days. Yagami Castle has been so short of food that he has begun to kill horses and eat meat. People in the city are panicked. Some people have begun to suggest that Hatano Hideharu and Hatano Hideau brothers open peace talks!
Brothers Hatano Hideharu and Hatano Hidetaka were hesitant and had not yet made any decision. Mitsuhide Akechi sent someone to persuade them to surrender. With Mitsuhide Akechi's current army of 30,000, it was actually not difficult to break through Yakami Castle. Zeng Yi
It is estimated that once the general attack is launched, many troops will definitely surrender!
But just because it’s not difficult doesn’t mean it’s not difficult. Brothers Hatano Hideharu and Hatano Hideau have been in business for many years, and they still have their own trusted troops. Akechi Mitsuhide probably won’t be able to take Yakami Castle if he doesn’t pay tens of thousands of casualties! There are only three in total.
With thousands of troops, Akechi Mitsuhide didn't want to suffer any more losses, so he sent his trusted followers to persuade them to surrender!
Hatano Hideharu and Hatano Hideuchi naturally did not want to surrender. The business they had built for generations could not be ruined in their hands. The two sides argued for a long time. Finally, Akechi Mitsuhide promised Hatano Hideharu and Hatano Hideuchi brothers to protect their territory after Hatano surrendered. Even to show sincerity,
In order to persuade the Hatano family to surrender, Akechi Mitsuhide also took his mother as a hostage and sent him to Yakami Castle!
Akechi Mitsuhide was full of sincerity, and Hatano Hideharu and Hatano Hideuchi brothers were not people who didn't know how to step down. Feeling that he was sincere and willing to surrender, Hatano Hideharu, the governor of the Hatano family, went to Azuchi Castle to apologize to Oda Nobunaga and asked for surrender.
In the following days, the situation eased a lot. Everyone thought that the war was about to end. Even Zeng Yi and the other three were ready to join Oda Nobunaga's forces to investigate the plan of the ambergris in Toyotomi Hideyoshi's hands!
However, the situation was not as good as everyone expected. Two days later, news came that Oda Nobunaga beheaded Hatano Hideharu and his accompanying younger brother Hatano family members together because of the capriciousness of the Hatano family. He could not believe it.
As soon as the news came, Zeng Yi and the others knew that the matter could not be resolved peacefully. As expected, Mitsuhide Akechi received his mother's head that day. Hideno Hatano heard that his brother had been killed. Out of grief and anger, he directly killed Akechi.
Mitsuhide's mother was beheaded!
Everyone knew that it would not end well at this point. On that day, Mitsuhide Akechi sent out an army and began to attack Yakami Castle crazily. The lord of Yakami Castle was killed. It was the moment of anger. The battle between the two sides was very fierce and the casualties increased sharply. 3
After a day of hard work, he was quietly pulled aside by those military leaders again at night!
"Three adults! No one expected that the war would start again. The current situation is already unrelenting. We still need to make plans!"
"Tell me what you have planned!"
"Sir, the current situation at Yagami Castle is that it has run out of ammunition and food, but Hatano Hideuchi still wants to resist. Tomorrow, several generals are going to persuade Hatano Hideuchi again. If they fail, several generals will fight for the tens of thousands of brothers in the city.
The only option is to detain Hatano Hideau! At that time, you still need to pay more attention to the battalion of soldiers in Nancheng, they are all Hatano Hideau's cronies!"
"Are you thinking too much? Just those people in the new barracks, want to deal with other people's elites?"
"Don't worry, sir. Brothers from other battalions will come to support us when the time comes! As long as we work together, we will definitely be able to resist those people!"
