Guiche beside Oda Nobunaga was the wife of the samurai family and the daughter of Mino Viper, so she was naturally aware of the danger. Oda Nobunaga's meal could be said to be a farewell. She didn't say much,
Instead, he silently asked the maid to go and report, and then helped Oda Nobunaga change into a set of jinhaori.
When Oda Nobunaga arrived at the lobby, everyone was already waiting there. It could be seen that except for the young Kijomaru, Chasakimaru and others, they were still a little drowsy. They didn't know that they might be meeting their father now.
It was the last time we met, and everyone else looked solemn, obviously they had been up all night.
When Oda Nobunaga saw that everyone was waiting for him to use his chopsticks, he didn't show any more humility, or even said a few words of condolences. He picked up the bowl, picked up the rice in his mouth, and ate it with big mouthfuls. The rest of the people obviously didn't like him.
With such a good appetite, Ikoma Yoshino, as Oda Nobunaga's favorite, looked sideways. Like Saito Guiche, they both frowned, could not eat anything, and looked at their husbands with worried faces. Several children
The child was still babbling and clamoring to go back to sleep, which made Oda Nobunaga smile.
Oda Nobunaga broke the rules and walked up to Ikoma Yoshino who was bringing his two children. He rubbed the heads of Miracle Maru and Chasakimaru with his two big hands, and asked Ikoma Yoshino: "What if I
Dead? What should you do?"
"Your Highness...the expedition is about to begin! You can't say such unlucky words!" Ikoma Yoshino's tears suddenly fell down, and she lowered her head pitifully. The two children looked at their mother crying in surprise, feeling a little at a loss.
, Chashinmaru also started crying immediately.
"Then die for me." Oda Nobunaga chuckled, looked at Ikoma Yoshino and nodded solemnly, then stood up. Looking at Saito Guiche, "Ano, play the drum for me.
"As he said this, he tied his lower body clothes casually a few times, took out the folding fan from his waist, danced to the sound of Saito Guidi's drums, and sang the song Atsheng. On both sides of the lobby, there were two rows of lights, which flickered on.
Suddenly, there was fire dancing in the darkness.
"Come to think of it, this is not a permanent place..." Oda Nobunaga sang a sad and solemn tune in a low voice with a deep and magnetic voice in harmony with the beat of the drum. Yes, how can this small Qingzhou make a difference?
Yu's permanent residence? The one that can accommodate Yu Nobunaga is either a majestic city without parallel in the world, or the underworld!
"The rapidity and subtleness of floating life are better than the white dew in the grass and the moon reflected in the water." Yu's short life of twenty-six years is about to reach a turning point in fate. Either he will rise to the top from now on, or his soul will return to the bank of Santu River. I am like this
If you treat your father, kill your teacher, and kill your younger brother, you will definitely go to hell!
"Those who chant flowers in the Golden Valley Garden are tempted by the wind of impermanence, and their dreams of glory and splendor end early."
"The people who look at the bright moon in the south tower are obscured by the clouds of ambition and die before the bright moon."
The rich man of the Western Jin Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty, the Sage of Tea and the Sage of Books, still could not escape the fate of returning to dust. How could Yu Xinchang be so virtuous and capable, how could he escape this fate?
"Fifty years in the human world are like a dream and an illusion compared to the transformation of heaven."
Oda Nobunaga suddenly opened the folding fan in his hand and danced with his arms. All the firelight in the row on the left was immediately blown out by the folding fan, and half of the room was immediately dark. Oda Nobunaga turned around and danced again, and on the other side
The firelight also disappeared all of a sudden. Inside the room, only the cold moonlight remained, shining on his simple face.
Heaven, if you really have eyes, don’t let me live past fifty! Fifty years, compared with the eight hundred years of day and night in Hualetian, is nothing more than a dream! So, so much
What's the point of living? The rest of your life should be as beautiful and short-lived as the falling cherry blossoms. Why pursue a long life?
because.
"How can a person who has been alive once live forever?"
Oda Nobunaga's voice suddenly rose and he chanted this last sentence. His steps flew quickly, he jumped to the corridor outside the door, and threw the folding fan in his hand high into the sky.
"Oh my God! I want to gamble my life with you!" Oda Nobunaga shouted towards the sky: "You! Do you dare?"
"Monkey! Get my shoes!" Oda Nobunaga put on his clothes and put on his beloved sword under the service of Saito Guiche, Hasebe Kunishige.
"Your Highness! Your Highness!" Kinoshita Tokichiro ran over and knelt down in front of Oda Nobunaga. "Young incompetent boy, I am willing to live and die with my lord!"
"Ambitious monkey, follow me!" Oda Nobunaga kicked away Kinoshita Tokichiro who was kneeling on the ground and laughed. At this time, Niwa Nagahide received an alert from the border and hurried to the castle tower with his deployment.
, he met Oda Nobunaga who was heading to the stables with his mother-in-law and horsemen.
"My lord! Aren't you going to stick to Qingzhou?" Niwa Nagahide asked in surprise.
"No! You come and stay behind! I want to fight Imagawa Yoshimoto in person!" Oda Nobunaga snorted coldly, "Yonegoro, remember. If news of my defeat comes today, you will give everything to me.
I burned it! I used tens of thousands of people from Qingzhou City to bury me!"
As the horse's hooves broke the silence of the night sky, Oda Nobunaga led the red and black women's clothing, as well as the two hundred cavalry of the horse group, holding torches, tearing apart the night alone, heading south from Qingzhou City, heading straight towards
Go to the border.
After receiving the notice, the important ministers and wealthy families of various families also took the troops assembled in their territories and turned towards Oda Nobunaga's main team.
"Lord, Shibata Katsuie is leading his troops to follow!" A booming voice came from a distance, and another team with torches quickly approached.
"Quan Liu, drop the auxiliary troops, bring only the combat troops, and follow us!"
"Lord, Ikeda Hengxing is leading his troops to follow!" Ikeda Hengxing's excited voice came from a distance.
"Boy, drop the auxiliary soldiers, bring only the combat soldiers, and follow us!"
"My lord, veteran Okada Shigezen and his troops are here to follow!" Old Hatamoto, who had followed the Oda family since Oda Nobhide's time, came from afar with a few of his subordinates.
"Uncle, follow me!"
"Lord, Takigawa Kazumasu led his troops to follow!" In order to make up for the previous mistakes of poor investigation, Takigawa Kazumasu spent money and mobilized every man who could go into battle.
"Hikoemon, drop the auxiliary troops, bring only the combat troops, and follow us!"
…
The group of people gathered more and more, and by the time they arrived at Atsuta Shrine at 4:00 a.m., nearly 2,000 soldiers had been assembled. All the auxiliary soldiers and baggage were abandoned by Oda Nobunaga, and each person only carried them for one day.
rations to show the determination to break the boat.
"My lord, I have abandoned my lord, Maeda Toshiie, and come to follow me alone!" Inside the shrine, Maeda Toshiie took it upon himself to plant the Oda family's papaya-patterned flag, leaping on horseback and holding a gun, charging towards the main force.
"Inuchiyo, follow me!" Oda Nobunaga roared excitedly. After giving a high-five to Maeda Toshiie who was riding past, he turned over and dismounted. He led his two thousand subordinates and surrounded Atsuta Shrine in the middle.
He strode into the shrine in person, and the abbot of the shrine came out in a hurry and handed Oda Nobunaga some offerings for worship and prayer.
Oda Nobunaga waved his hand disdainfully, walked straight to the incense burner, grabbed a handful of cigarette ashes, and threw it at the foot of the god of heat. The ash hit the foot of the incense burner and made a dull sound.
"Reten Great Mingjin, I order you to protect our army from victory!" Oda Nobunaga shouted sternly: "Otherwise, when I go to hell, I will bring Yama in hell and knock you down myself!"
Oda Nobunaga walked out of the shrine, got on his horse, and shouted to his two thousand loyal subordinates: "Reten Daimyojin has felt our thoughts! He will surely bless us - a prosperous military fortune!"
"Everyone, please dedicate your loyalty to the Oda family!"
At two o'clock in the morning, outside Dagao City, the sun had fully risen, and the visibility had reached a level that allowed a full-scale attack on the city.
After the test attack, Asahina Bei was launching a fierce attack on Washizu Stronghold. Yesterday, they had built the proposed siege ram and ladder in Nawa, and at this moment, they were being pushed by auxiliary troops and rushing towards the Iwa stronghold.
"Archers, cover and shoot!" The archers from Asahina Taichao's command headquarters quickly advanced to a place 60 meters outside the rock village. They bullied the defenders in the rock village for the lack of archers, and unceremoniously went to close range and started shooting. Nearly. 300 archers fired one after another, suppressing the Oda Army archers on the wall of Yanzhai and unable to get up. Three ladders were also set up on the wall of less than four meters, and warriors immediately started Take the lead to climb the ladder. At the same time, under the cover of the shield soldiers, the battering ram troops also rushed to the village gate, using heavy battering rams, shouting slogans, and hitting the wall of the village.
"It's really strong! It's worthy of the Asahina family." Guardsman Iio Sadamune said with emotion. He personally went to the front line and directed his auxiliary soldiers to use the wood and rolling stones that had been stored for many months to attack the siege ram team under the city wall and the ladder. The climbing soldiers smashed it. For a time, Asahinabe's offensive was actually limited. Although the gate was loose, it was obvious that there were a large number of Oda family ashigaru behind the gate. And Asahinabe Ashigaru on the ladder Although they climbed to the top of the city, they were still dominated by the Oda family's ashigaru, who restricted the number of people they could climb on the wall. However, under the fierce offensive of the Asahina family, the Oda army was constantly being consumed, and it was estimated that they would not be able to sustain it for much longer.
"Brother! I'm coming!" Asahina Taehiro excitedly clasped his fists, and without waiting for his brother's order, he took four or five guards to bypass the ladder and go straight to the camp wall. On the camp wall were the Oda family's archers and infantrymen. Their attention was all on the battering ram and the ladder, and they did not pay much attention to the few people who did not bring siege equipment. Two of the four or five guards stood with their backs against the camp wall and took up their positions. Asahina Tai Heng started to run a few steps away, shouted loudly, stepped on the shoulders of the two men, jumped up, and reached the edge of the village wall with his hands. He gave a strong force with both arms and pulled sideways. , the body took advantage of the momentum and rolled over, and rushed to the wall of the village.
A dozen or so auxiliary soldiers of the Oda family were carrying stones to a position with a ladder. They were startled by the sudden appearance of Asahina Taehyung. Asahina Taehyung didn't say much. He had a knife in his hand, and he raised and lowered it continuously. After killing several Oda family auxiliary soldiers who were caught off guard, the city wall was in chaos. Just behind him, another ladder was pushed up and placed on the wall behind him. The ashigaru of the Asahina army immediately climbed up the ladder. Climb.
The nearby Oda Army Ashigaru saw the situation and hurriedly rushed forward brandishing their spears. Although Asahina Taehyung was alone, he was not afraid and rushed forward with his sword. He turned around to let go of an impaling spear. , swung his sword to cut off the gun shaft. At this time, two more Oda family ashigaru spears were stabbing at him. He suddenly leaned back and watched the two spears stabbing the ground from above his face. With one hand, he Holding the tip of the spear that he just snatched, holding the knife in one hand, he suddenly raised his body and squeezed in through the gap between the two spears. He flicked his left hand hard, and the tip of the spear came out of his hand, hitting an ashigaru on the side between the eyebrows. With a powerful horizontal slash, the other two ashigaru in front of him were also chopped down. Taking advantage of the chaos in the Oda family's position, he rushed forward to fight at close range, and hit four more ashigaru in succession. After seeing that the offensive on this side was contained, , he immediately turned around and rushed to the other side, another dazzling wave of swords flashed by, and three or four Ashigaru were chopped to the ground by him.
It was also during this time that Asahina Ashigaru on the ladders continued to pour onto the wall, and the area controlled by Asahina Bei on the wall became larger and larger. The Oda Ashigaru who tried to fight back were immediately attacked by archers. , was forced to stagnate.
"Follow me! Fight them back!" Seeing the situation gradually getting out of control, Iio Sadamune became so furious that he personally led a dozen ashigaru and samurai and rushed along the wall towards where Asahina Yasuhiro was.
"Young Master, we have already entered the city. Please retreat and rest!" Several warriors from the Asahina family saw Iio Sadamune's menacing approach and were unwilling to let Asahina Taehiro continue to take risks. They stepped forward and pulled Asahina Taehiro's armor to persuade him. Admonition.
"We will retreat after I clean up the situation." Asahina Taehyung pretended to agree. As soon as the two samurai let go, he immediately drew his sword in his hand and rushed forward.
"Young Master! Didn't you say you'll retreat after cleaning up!" Several warriors secretly shouted, and hurriedly caught up to cover both sides of Asahina Taehyung.
"As soon as I clean up the wall, we will retreat!" Asahina Taehyung looked at Iio Sadamune rushing in front of him and snorted disdainfully.
"Young boy, what a big tone!" Iio Sadamune roared, and he came forward with a sword, "I'll finish you off in three moves!"
"You don't need three moves, just one move." Asahina Taehyung chuckled, which made Iio Sadamune furious.
Iio Sadumune made a powerful and heavy slash. Asahina Taiheng advanced instead of retreating. He quickly turned around in front of him, facing Iio Sadumune with his back, put the sword on his back, and used Su Qin's back sword move. He resisted this blow. Just when Iio Sadamune was wondering why Asahina Taiheng used such a weird posture to defend himself, in the next moment, Asahina Yasuhiro had already used the power of turning around to move Iio Sadamune's lower body to the side. He turned back and struck with a horizontal blow. The door of Iio Sadazune was wide open, and he couldn't dodge. He was hit directly in the chest and abdomen. His legs were split instantly, blood spattered, and he fell down with a muffled groan.
"I said, just one move will do." Asahina Tai raised the katana in his hand and chuckled.
"Your Highness! Your Highness!" Several samurai around frantically rushed up to snatch the master's body, but were killed by Asahina Taehyung and several other samurai who arrived with a few swords. Seeing that the entire wall was on the verge of being lost. , the head of the family was still being asked for in front of the battle, and the Oda troops on the wall had no intention of resisting and retreated into the village. The gate of Washijin Village was also broken by a battering ram, and Asahina Yasuto personally commanded his men to attack the gate. At the same time, two troops were asked to outflank the Oda army from both sides to prevent the Oda army from escaping. Oda Genbo was caught off guard and hurriedly tried to adjust his formation to stick to the center of the rock stronghold, but was defeated by Asahinabe in one fell swoop, and he was also captured.
After the fall of Washizu Stronghold, it was immediately burned to the ground by Asahina Bei. Asahina Bei and Uden Bei who attacked the castle simultaneously attacked Marune Stronghold. The defenders of Marune Stronghold immediately fell into panic.
"Your Highness! Something bad has happened!" A lookout soldier ran up to Sakuma Shengshige, who was directing the battle at the south gate, with a mournful face. "There are people coming from the west gate and the north gate! Brothers, we are short of manpower!"
Sakuma Morishige took a look at the surging Imagawa army. The number was estimated to be more than 5,000, and the number of soldiers was close to 2,000. However, the defenders in his entire Marune Stronghold were only more than 500 people and 200 soldiers. Under the constraints of the Matsudaira family, he did not even have the extra troops to defend the entire village wall. And Asahinabe's dozens of cavalry also cut off any hope of their retreat.
"That's it." Sakuma Morishige laughed sadly, "My lord has treated me with great kindness, and I am by no means a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death."
"There is no need to burn down the Imagawa family. Send the order! Light up the Marune Stronghold!" Sakuma solemnly ordered to set fire to the stronghold. At the same time, he personally drew a knife in his hand, commanded his men to pull down the stronghold wall, opened the gate, and launched a desperate charge against Matsudairabe.
"Lord! Sheng Zhong wishes you with his life a prosperous military fortune!"
