"Hanbei, Hanbei! Are you there?"
Takenaka Shigeharu was planning the route to Kyoto with a group of staff in a temporary camp when he suddenly heard the sound of rapid horse hooves and Yu Qiuping's shout.
Hearing Yu Qiuping's panicked voice, Takenaka Shigeharu straightened up and strode towards the tent door, almost bumping into Yu Qiuping who broke in.
"Your Highness, why are you in such a hurry?" Takenaka Shigeharu asked anxiously in a low voice when he saw Yu Qiuping sweating profusely.
"Ashikaga Yoshie was poisoned to death, what do you think?" Yu Qiuping was so panicked that he was a little incoherent and said something without any beginning or end.
"What do you mean?" Takenaka Shigeharu failed to follow Yu Qiuping's logic and asked again with a frown.
"That's the puppet general Ashikaga Yoshie! The information we received before said that he died of illness!" Yu Qiupei said while gesturing with his hands, "But just now! We found the body of Ashikaga Yoshie. He was
He died of poisoning, someone poisoned him!"
"Furthermore, Aooka also said that that kind of poison is very rare and cannot be cured by any medicine. It can only be found among powerful ninjas! In all likelihood, the poison was administered by the Miyoshi family themselves!"
At this moment, Takenaka Shigeharu fully understood what Yu Qiuping wanted to express. He did not ask any more questions, but slowly sat down, held his head with his hands, and fell into deep thinking.
After a moment, a sharp flash suddenly flashed in his eyes. He stood up suddenly, stared into Yu Qiuping's eyes and said solemnly: "Yinyu Mountain! The Sanhao family is about to fight back!"
·
At the same time, the main force of the coalition forces located in Kyoto on the North Road did not notice any danger at all, but was immersed in the sea of ​​celebration. Just now, Miyoshi Yoshihide was unable to resist and evacuated from the Kyoto Imperial Palace in embarrassment.
The Miyoshi family's troops have lost more than 30% and are unable to fight anymore. The imperial palace was captured by the coalition forces, and Kyoto was also occupied by the coalition forces! Everyone felt that the war was over and the situation in the south had nothing to do with the overall situation. The samurai of the Asai family and the Oda family
They celebrated each other and boasted to each other about their achievements in this earth-shattering battle of Shangluo.
The Ashigaru people were also deeply affected and cheered in the streets and alleys of Kyoto to celebrate the end of the war. Many of them were poor people who had never left their hometowns in their lives. They were able to fight to come to the prosperous Kyoto this time. This is probably good.
It has become a lifelong conversation piece! And since most of the people in Kyoto have evacuated early to avoid the war, the handful of people who were left behind also fled during the war. A large number of ownerless houses and wealth are waiting to be plundered by the coalition forces.
The Ashigaru of the allied forces launched a large-scale random arrest in the rich Kyoto, looting and robbing all valuable property - this is the purpose of ordinary Ashigaru wars!
Although Bai Bai Anxin has become a warrior, his income is very tight all year round. Naturally, he cannot let go of this opportunity to make a fortune. He robbed several gold, silver, treasures and jades left in the pawnshops, and put them in his pocket.
His sleeves were full. Suddenly, he discovered that a valuable oil lamp pendant seemed to be hanging on the roof of a pawn shop. Excited, he stuffed the things he had snatched into the arms of his men, and he followed the
The beam was afraid. However, when he tried to untie the rope that tied the oil lamp pendant to the ceiling, he suddenly smelled a smell of sulfur. He turned it over a few times and found that in the straw covering the ceiling,
Stuffed with a lot of sulfur.
Momo Annobu, who was quick-thinking, realized that something was wrong, and immediately ordered a dozen of his subordinates who could still be contacted to quickly climb up to nearby buildings to find out. These Ashigaru were enjoying themselves, but suddenly they received such a call
Although he was reluctant to give the order, he still reluctantly climbed up, only to find that out of more than a dozen houses, ten had sulfur on their roofs or beams.
Bai Bai Anxin's face turned pale after learning about this. He had no time to check other houses, but hurriedly rushed to the Kyoto Imperial Palace where His Highnesses were. However, the streets and alleys of Kyoto were full of coalition forces looting and plundering everywhere, and the establishment was complete.
He disappeared and even blocked the road. Bai Baianxin spent a long time before he finally found Masa Isono and reported his discovery.
At first, Isono Umasa thought he was making a fuss, and did not want to dampen the interest of Oda Nobunaga and Asai Nagamasa at this happy moment. But when Momo Annobu knelt on the ground, hugging Isono Umasa's thigh, his hair
At the time of the poisonous oath, Masa Isono finally realized the seriousness of the problem and prepared to inform Asai Nagamasa and Oda Nobunaga.
"My lord, and His Majesty Oda." Masa Isono walked quickly to Asai Nagamasa and Oda Nobunaga, who were celebrating with dozens of samurai in the garden of the Kyoto Imperial Palace, and said in a low voice: "I'm here.
My subordinates found sulfur on the roofs of more than a dozen houses."
"What did you find?" Because there were excited noises everywhere, Oda Nobunaga didn't hear clearly what Isono Nomasa said, and asked again loudly. Before Isono Nomasa could speak, Oda Nobunaga's pupils
He shrank suddenly and stood frozen in place.
The sudden flames rising northwest of Kyoto gave the answer on behalf of Isono Umasa.
·
At this time, Miyoshi Yoshihide was standing on a pavilion in the northwest of Kyoto with his hands behind his back, watching the fire he had just lit rolling towards the huge Kyoto under the howling northwest wind.
"The emperor was alarmed, and Kyoto and the palace were burned down." Miyoshi Choitsu, who was standing behind Miyoshi Yoshiken, whispered uneasily: "Mikyu, if you do such a thing, you will go to hell."
"I have long been prepared for awakening." Miyoshi Yixian just smiled slightly when he heard this, raised his head proudly, and looked at the flames rising into the sky, "Three good brothers and four brothers, three do big things, and one does dirty things. The one who does dirty things.
People, go to hell and pave the way for your brothers."
·
"Get in line and evacuate! Don't mess around! Evacuate quickly!"
Amidst the chaos, screams and shouts, a samurai was standing on a second-floor building, shouting loudly to the bewildered ashigaru in the street.
Taking him as the center of the circle and zooming in on the entire Kyoto, there were probably hundreds or even thousands of samurai who were shouting at him and trying to bring order, but with little success.
From the moment flames more than ten feet high rose in the northwest of Kyoto, the coalition forces in Kyoto were already in chaos. Driven by the northwest wind, the fire spread rapidly and burned towards the place where the coalition troops were stationed.
"Where is His Highness Takigawa? Where is His Highness Takigawa?" At this moment, Tsuda Hidemasa was walking through the chaotic streets of Kyoto with a dozen brothers who could only gather around him. The ashigaru who had lost their organization and command were like
They were scurrying around like headless flies, escaping to safe places in the south and east. The streets and alleys of Kyoto were full of fleeing ashigaru, and the trophies they had just snatched were thrown around randomly. From time to time, someone fell down and immediately fell.
Dozens of feet will trample over it, and you won't even be able to cry out for help.
"Have you seen His Highness Takigawa?" Tsuda Hidemasa and his men rushed to the place where Takigawa Kazumasu was before they went to rob him, but found that no one was there. So he led his men to the south, and every day
When he met a senior samurai of the Oda family, he grabbed him and asked for news about Takigawa Kazumasu, but he still found nothing. Before he could react, a group of people suddenly escaped from the other side of the intersection and took him
The crowd dispersed. Just when Tsuda Hidemasa wanted to join the crowd, more and more people came out. He was pushed by the crowd and stumbled towards the south. When he finally found
When he stopped in an open space, he found that there were only three people following him.
"Are you from the Takikawa family?" At this moment, a shout suddenly came to mind. Tsuda Hidemasa suddenly looked up and found that it was Oda Nobunaga's female disciples who were roaring and talking to him amidst the noisy shouts.
, hope it can hear clearly.
"Exactly! Exactly!" Tsuda Hidemasa also shouted back at the top of his lungs, ensuring that the women in uniform could hear him.
"His Royal Highness Takigawa went to the east. I saw his flag just now!" The female disciple pointed to the east direction and shouted, "Have you seen the lord?"
"Thank you! But I didn't see the Oda Main Hall!" Tsuda Hidemasa said loudly and gratefully.
"I'm going to die!" The woman in female clothes seemed to mutter a few words, turned around and left, but Tsuda Hidemasa could no longer hear his complaint. It seemed that he was suddenly dispersed in the crowd. When he came back to his senses,
Oda Nobunaga can no longer be found.
Due to random arrests and robberies, the ashigaru of each family were mixed together. When the fire suddenly broke out, in such chaotic circumstances, any efforts of the family heads to gather the troops were in vain, and they had to clear the way surrounded by guards.
Get out of the city.
"Son of a bitch! This fellow Miyoshi Yoshiken actually burned down Kyoto!" Oda Nobunaga rushed out of the street on horseback with a disgraced face, his mouth full of curses for Miyoshi Yoshixian. "The Miyoshi family has already been destroyed.
If you lose, Sanhao Changqing has withdrawn, what's the use of burning Kyoto?" He finally squeezed out of Kyoto, ran to the south of Kyoto, and began to try to gather the troops. But before he could gather 1,000 soldiers, the south
Sakuma Nobumori, the leader of the temple complex, suddenly sent someone to ask for help:
"Shihe Yicun led 3,000 soldiers to fight from the south!"
·
At the same time, Yu Qiuping was galloping on the mountain road of Otoyu Mountain. He had ordered Tokiwa Bei to advance to Otoyu Mountain immediately, and he took the lead with his guards to the top of Otoyu Mountain, trying to get a better view of the overall situation.
However, the moment he reached the top of the mountain, he realized that things were about to get worse.
There was already a raging fire in Kyoto. Even if he couldn't see clearly from a distance, Yu Qiuping knew that something bad was going on with the main force of the coalition forces there.
Nearly ten thousand soldiers of the good family are rolling out from the Toji Temple on the west bank of the Kamogawa River, ten miles away from Otowa Mountain. Some of them are heading towards Kyoto in the north, while the main force is crossing the Kamogawa River and taking the middle route.
Heading straight for Otowa Mountain - and they will soon encounter the Mino trio's troops following Oda Nobunaga's footsteps in the middle.
Chapter completed!
