On May 27, the situation in Tosa continued to deteriorate.
In the early morning, a group of people were walking through the streets of Susaki Castle. Their target was the samurai house of the Yuqiu family in Susaki Castle. They had just received news that a group of red leaf army cavalry had arrived at the castle town of Oka Toyo Castle last night, and from the town
The merchants were gathering property and personnel. Nagasou Gabu Motochin believed that this was a sign that Yu Qiupei was about to retreat, so he ordered the final plan to be launched and asked Kutake's cronies in Susaki Castle. Kumu's confidants immediately controlled Yu Qiupei and stopped him.
The Momiji Army retreats. Because the negotiations between the Miyoshi family and the Chosogabe family have just begun, they are far from reaching an agreement. If the Momiji Army withdraws at this time and the Tosa defense line collapses, the Miyoshi family can fight all the way to Oka before the negotiation ends.
In Toyo City, the negotiation situation of the Chosou family will become even more unfavorable. Kutake's confidants and Kutake's relatives are leading the army to the Yuqiu family's house, advancing quickly under the dim moonlight without lighting torches.
"It's at that corner." Jiuwu's confidant pointed to a large alley in the distance and gestured with his hands, "One team goes to the left, one team goes to the right, and wraps around from both sides. The other team is left in the courtyard.
Guard around the wall to prevent them from escaping."
Everyone immediately dispersed and outflanked each other from multiple directions. Kutake's confidant and Kutake's nao each led the team to outflank from the left and right. They met at the door of the house and exchanged glances with each other. The people in the house seemed to be unalert.
Didn't hear any movement.
"Unless the Yuqiu family resists, don't use force later, treat each other with courtesy." Jiuwu's confidant lowered his voice and said to Jiuwu, "We are guests from afar, and after all, we are also allies of the Changzong family. My lord.
This approach is really inappropriate. As long as His Highness Jibu promises not to retreat, we will not embarrass them. His Highness Jibu has always had a reputation for keeping promises, and he will certainly not let us down."
"Brother, the situation is already incompatible with water and fire. It's not as simple as you think." Kutake Kaminao shook his head helplessly, "We only have a few hundred troops in the city, and we are no match for Momiji Ryobi. If we can't control it,
Yuqiu Hongye, he can kill us with his backhand."
"The Lord's order is for us to 'please' His Majesty the Governor not to retreat and not to become enemies of the Yuqiu family." Kutake's confidant stared at Kutake, "What do you mean?"
"Brother, can't you hear my lord's voiceover? We are not asking Yuqiu Hongye not to retreat, but we are holding Yuqiu Hongye hostage, forcing him to give up his retreat plan, and then ordering the Hongye army to continue fighting." Jiu Jiu
Takeuchikanao breathed a sigh of relief and suppressed his dissatisfaction with his brother's stupidity. "If this plan fails, my lord will form an alliance with the Miyoshi family and jointly attack Yuqiu Hongye! Don't you understand this life-and-death situation?"
"It just won't work anyway." Jiuwu's confidant shook his head fiercely, and then made a gesture to his younger brother and the other leading warrior, "You lead people and rush in, I will guard the perimeter!"
Kutake shook his head in disgust, and then he and another leading samurai pushed open the door, and rushed into the house with a group of samurai and ninjas. Some of them walked sideways around the courtyard wall of the house.
They ran, and the other group of people rushed straight to the hall of the house. They kicked open the door and found that there was no one on the first floor, so they immediately rushed to the second floor.
However, after the warriors rushed up to the second floor, there was suddenly no movement. There was no shout of death, no footsteps, just deathly silence. Monk Zhanger, Jiuwu's confidant, who was waiting at the door, scratched his head.
Brain, after waiting for about half a while, there was still no sound. If there were people from the Yuqiu family, there would definitely be fighting sounds; even if they were wiped out, there would be screams. There is no movement at all. What does it mean?
.
So, Jiuwu's cronies sent a personal guard and asked him to go upstairs to check the situation. After a while, the guard came downstairs, sweating profusely, and jogged all the way to Jiuwu's cronies.
"What's going on upstairs?" Jiuwu's confidant asked without saying anything.
The guard stuttered a few times but said nothing.
"Did everyone in the Yuqiu family escape first? Is it empty inside?" Jiuwu's cronies asked in surprise when they saw the guards in this state.
The guard shook his head but still said nothing.
"What do you mean when you shake your head? Is there anyone in there?" Jiuwu's cronies were so angry that the guards yelled, "Say something to me!"
"Yes! Someone!" The guard said hurriedly after being convinced by Jiu Wu.
"Why is there no movement at all? Are there no resistance from the Yuqiu family? Why are there no conversations if there is no resistance? If there is resistance, why are there no shouts of killing?" Jiuwu's cronies were confused and fired like a barrage.
asked.
The guard hesitated for a long time and stammered in a low voice: "Because we don't... dare not take action."
"Don't dare to take action? What do you mean? How many people are there?" Jiuwu's cronies were stunned when they heard this, "Is there an ambush inside?"
"No..." the guard swallowed and said with some difficulty, "Just...one person."
"Alone?" Jiuwu's confidant was completely confused. He waved his hand and walked into the house with the other guards around him, wanting to see what was going on. However, as soon as he entered the hall on the first floor, he was hit by a wave of
The chilling aura actually made him feel chills and fear. He was already a veteran on the battlefield, but this aura still made him suddenly feel timid, as if enemies would emerge from the darkness at any time and chop him down.
.
He slowly stepped onto the stairs, and after turning the corner, he found that many of the first batch of samurai and ninjas who rushed up were waiting in the corridor of the stairs and did not dare to move forward. Jiuwu's confidants stretched out their hands to push these samurai away with some annoyance.
When the samurai saw his master coming, he didn't take the initiative to get out of the way or salute. Instead, he was like a fool and was at the mercy of Jiuwu's cronies.
"These wine bags and rice bags..." Jiuwu's confidant cursed as he strode upwards. When he finally stepped on the floor of the second floor, he found that none of his subordinates were near the center of the hall on the second floor.
The edge of the wall against the second floor slowly formed a small semicircle, and no one dared to take a step forward. Each of them took out the knife from its sheath, nervously holding the handle of the knife with both hands, staring intently at the center of the hall, and some even
Shivering, the sound of chattering teeth was clearly audible. Before he could yell, a more fierce murderous aura rushed over, making Jiuwu's confidant shiver almost instantly, and his calves were shaking a little. He immediately raised his hand to help him
He covered the wall to hide his embarrassing movements.
At this time, his eyes naturally turned around and looked at the center of the hall on the second floor. He saw a man sitting cross-legged, with a huge spear placed flat on his knees. He wore a deer antler wakitachi pouch on his head.
, wearing a black silk trousers, with a string of huge rosary beads hanging around his neck, facing the crowd without saying a word. However, just with his back turned, he exuded murderous aura.
But it was still enough to shock the entire audience, and no one dared to move.
Because fighting this man is tantamount to losing your life.
"Honda... Heihachiro." Kutake's trusted adam's Adam's apple squirmed violently, and he murmured the name to himself with some trembling. He, like a circle of subordinates around him, stared at Honda Tadakatsu, but did not say anything.
One person dared to take action. A group of people clung to the wall, tremblingly surrounding Honda Tadakatsu, who was sitting in the middle of the room. The latter didn't even move his fingers, and already suppressed the entire audience with his overwhelming murderous aura. Then
It was a murderous spirit that was developed after being stained with the blood of hundreds or thousands of people on the battlefield.
Under such pressure, the concept of time became blurred. Jiuwu's confidant only felt that his sweat was continuously dripping down his face, sliding down his neck, and soaking the Jinhaori on his chest. I don't know how long it took.
, suddenly there were loud shouts and sounds of fighting all around. Jiuwu's cronies were startled, and were about to turn around and go out to check the situation, but Honda Tadakatsu, who didn't want to sit there motionless all the time, also turned his head and went straight
looked at him.
The eyes with dark pupils were filled with contemptuous pride, like two nails, nailing Jiuwu's cronies to the wall. The surging murderous aura made him unable to resist, as if he only needed to be favored by Honda Tadakatsu.
He couldn't move at a glance. Honda Tadakatsu slowly looked around the whole place. Everyone he saw was trembling violently, and the weapons in his hands were trembling.
After a while, the shouts of killing and fighting around him quieted down. Jiuwu's cronies had realized that something was wrong and they were probably ambushed. But at this time, he couldn't muster up the fighting spirit to clean up the mess. This person
The samurai who had never given up after hundreds of battles felt an "irresistible" feeling of self-destruction at this moment. After a while, dense footsteps sounded in the house. Kumu's confidant tried his best to avert his eyes and looked downstairs.
He found groups of soldiers with red leaves on their helmets walking inside and outside Yashiki, and the people he brought with him had already been captured. When he looked out the window, he saw that the streets around Yashiki were full of red leaf soldiers.
.
"It was calculated..." Jiuwu's confidant sighed with some difficulty, "The Red Leaf Army has actually entered the city... The gate of Suzaki Castle has probably changed hands."
Before he could think through the situation, troops from the Red Leaf Army had already walked upstairs. The Kubu samurai and ninjas on the stairs saw the disparity between the enemy and ourselves, and the head of the family had no intention of fighting, so they had no choice but to throw down their weapons and surrender. They waited until Kubu's cronies returned.
When he came to his senses, he himself was disarmed together with his younger brother Kutake Kannao. Surrounded by two Red Leaf Army soldiers on the left and right, he walked to the first floor, where Yu Qiupei, wearing a striking red leaf shawl, was waiting.
He was looking at him, and Honda Tadakatsu was standing beside him.
"Two Lords Jiuwu." The expression on Yu Qiuping's face was a little subtle, "What do you mean by bringing so many people here so early in the morning?"
"His Royal Highness Jibu misunderstood." Kutake Kaminao hurriedly explained, "We heard that someone from the Miyoshi family wanted to assassinate His Highness Jibu at this moment, so..."
"I am frank, there is nothing I can't say." Who would have thought that Jiuwu Qinzhi was interrupted by Jiuwu's cronies in the middle of his sentence, and said sarcastically to Yu Qiuping: "I was ordered to find His Highness Zhibu.
I want to ask His Highness Jibu to hold on to Susaki Castle and not retreat, so as to save the life of the Chosou Gabe family. I didn’t expect His Highness Jibu to have anticipated our move and sent someone to ambush us. It’s really regrettable.” bdshare()
