Samurai of the Takeda Family

Chapter 437 Killing

Li Xiao threw aside the note describing the collapse of the main force of Hongan Temple, closed his eyes, and said categorically: "Immediately send troops forward!"

Usami Nami was on the side, saying: "Master, but Noto, Yuezhong's military has not been mobilized yet, and Honganji is so disastrously defeated, I am afraid that even if our army goes to strengthen it, it will be just a drop in the bucket."

Li Xiaochang sighed and said: "As much as you can save, please reply to Hongan Temple, so that they can enter the Hongan Temple from Ono County to take refuge, but I didn't expect that the Oda Army also had a big tube, and the Hongan Temple Army was defeated. So fast."

February 16.

Li Xiao hurriedly assembled Yuezhong, and Noto's eight thousand troops marched in front of Muzhou City.

However, even after hearing the news of Li Xiao’s emergence, Honganji's defeat was not limited. Honganji was the last line of defense at Echizen Toba Castle. The **** battle against the Oda Army for several days gave the siege of Ando, ​​Niwa and other Oda troops important. However, it was still breached by a large barrel arriving from the rear.

Qili Lai Zhou, Xia Lai Zhao and several Dafang officials of Hongan Temple, fled hurriedly.

The border land of Echizen Kaga.

On the bank of a river.

Thousands of Echizen people, supporting each other, are fleeing to Kaga.

The people are in ragged clothes, and their faces are earthy. Some people use panniers to carry their families or get goods on the trucks.

Although these people haven't eaten anything for a day or several days, their faces are all in a hurry, and they look back south from time to time, with a look of horror on their faces.

Although the children's crying continued along the way, the people still immersed themselves in fleeing north.

There is no other reason why these people fled to Kaga, and it was because of Nobunaga's cruel methods against Ichijozong in Hokuriku.

After Toba Castle broke, Nobunaga slaughtered Toba Castle up and down, leaving no one behind.

Whether it is monks, believers, people, or Oda Army in the city, it does not make any distinctions. Just the first level cut down is more than twelve thousand two hundred and fifty.

Not only that, but Nobunaga also issued a massacre order to Echizen.

Not letting go of any villages suspected of believing in Yixiangzong, Hou Nobunaga worried that these Yixiangzong fled into the mountains. In order to remove the roots, he also ordered the Oda army to search the mountains and issued the order "regardless of the residence, regardless of gender. All the young and old are captured or killed'.

Nobunaga's cruel method of not giving birth to the thousand rooms in Echizen finally caused panic among the people of Echizen.

Not only the people who believed in Yixiangzong, but even the Tendai sect, Shingon Sect, who had previously been the enemy of Yixiangzong, also feared Nobunaga's tyranny and began to flee to Kaga.

The people on the road all fled to Kaga from Echizen.

Reconciling with the ranks of the common people, there were also a troop of monks with hundreds of soldiers who had been defeated from the front line. Almost all of them were wounded.

These monks and soldiers dragged the naginata and threw them on their shoulders, their faces all looking decadent.

The leader of this group of monk soldiers is an official named Xia Ma Lai Liang.

As the official of Honganji's hereditary workshop, Shimonama has many branches. Shimon Rai Ryo's father Shimon Raiyan was in the battle of Ishiyama Honganji against the Ishiyama of the Oda clan, and he and Suzuki Shigehide were called the right and left of Osaka. The general of Hongan Temple.

Hearing that Hokuriku Hongan Temple is in danger, the next Rai Liang led a group of monks and soldiers from Ishiyama Hongan Temple to Hokuriku to support Yixiangzong's battle against the Oda family.

Next, Rai Liang slid a naginata sword. During the Toba Castle Cage Battle, his head of the Ishiyama head monk soldiers rescued Toba Castle and attacked Oda's Shiba Hideyoshi team at night.

However, facing the swiftly rising general of the Oda family, Hashiba Hideyoshi, the next Rai Ryo’s night attack was unsuccessful. On the contrary, the monk soldiers suffered a lot, and he himself was cut and wounded in the battle with the Oda army. leg.

Facing this situation, Shimona Rai Ryo knew that he would be chased by the Oda family at any time, so he had to retreat to Kaga as soon as possible.

Now, Lai Liang's big cold sweat on his forehead and the pain of his leg slowed him down a lot.

Just as Lai Liang was holding back the severe pain in the next room, a young man with a naginata snatched from the side bent his body, pointed to his back, and said, "Come up."

Next, Lai Liang looked at each other. This person was his wife's younger brother Otani Hirama (previously, this person was also named Otani Yoshiji in history).

Otani Hirama's father, Otani Taizhen, is a hereditary official at the gate of the Qinglian Temple of Hongan Temple.

Otani Taizhen was killed in the previous battle between Echizen and Oda's Shibata Katsuka Corps. The first rank was taken by Shibata Katsuya's general Mao.

His father's death was a very painful blow to Otani Hirama, who was only sixteen years old.

So Otani Hirama vowed to avenge his father.

Next, Lai Liang glanced at Hirama, and did not hesitate to let Otani Hirama carry himself, saying: "Hirama, you can rest assured that as long as we return to Kaga, we can reassemble the army and ask the Oda family for this. Blood debt."

Otani Hirama was carrying Shimama Rai Ryo and striding forward, as if effortlessly, but after hearing what the other party said, his brows frowned and he said, "Rai Ryo, the power of the Oda Army is definitely not added by our monks. Believers can resist. This is the same even when returning to Kaga."

After hearing this, Lai Liang's expression changed, just about to get angry.

Otani Heima seemed to perceive the reaction of Shimon Lai Liang, and said calmly, "Lai Liang, have you forgotten the battle in the mansion? We had nearly 100,000 believers and more than 2,000 monks and soldiers in that battle. So what, the Oda Army blasted, and then only dispatched Shibata, Hashiba, and Mingzhi legions. As a result, we only lasted for less than an hour, and we were completely defeated."

After Lai Liang listened, he was silent.

Otani Hirama said calmly: "I'm not afraid of death, but meaningless to die. You and I both have the heart to defend the Dharma and go to death, but this courage is not enough. We must think of a way to kill the Oda army. Otherwise...otherwise, it is just the hundreds of thousands of believers in Hokuriku who will have to die by their own bodies."

Lai Liang sighed and said, "Pingma, you are right. Don't act recklessly anymore. The previous lesson is enough."

Otani Hirama smiled, and said: "Lai Liang, anyway, let's talk about everything now, let's escape to Kaga. Everything must be saved before there is a chance to come back."

When Otani Hirama was talking to Shimon Rai Ryo, there was only a bang, and the ground seemed to sway.

In front of them, several stone bullets fell straight down from the air and ran over the ground.

A stone bullet directly hit a small lotus load car, the whole car was smashed to pieces, and the people in the car were killed.

"The Oda Army is coming!"

Next, Lai Liang was taken aback. After turning his head from the back of the Otani flat horse, he saw several Oda military generals wearing water-patterned haori on a mountain beam behind him, riding on the horse, looking down from a high altitude The people of Echizen who are running around under the mountain.

At this time, a general of the Oda clan headed down the mountain silently, and slowly pressed his hand down. Then on the mountain beam, an Oda clan army with aqua and white background platycodon flag fingers stuck in the back Appear.

"It's the wise legion!"

Next, Lai Liang suddenly drank. Following the Oda Army's southern campaign in the Northern War, the army led by Mitsuhide Aichi also became famous because of its outstanding military exploits. Especially in the Hokuriku battle, its fierce name was in the eyes of the followers of Yixiangzong. Not inferior to Shibata Corps.

The bellflower pattern that represents Toki Genshi has also become a representative of the **** of death in the eyes of the followers of Hokuriku.

Now, under the command of the commander-in-chief of the Wise Legion, Mitsuhide Wise, the Oda Army crossed the mountain ridge and covered the Echizen people below the mountain like a raging tide.

These believers, who have always been followers, became scared under the Oda Army's offensive, not to mention resistance, and they were too weak to escape.

Be the first to be the riding team of the Wise Legion, and be the first to spoil you among the crowds of believers.

Seeing the horse-riding squad enter, the believers of the Zong Zong fled in panic, and these wise horse-riding warriors of the army were not in a hurry to hack and slash, but were very interested, like herdsmen herding sheep, and consciously drove these believers to one place. .

The believers of the Zongzong always felt even more frightened when they saw this. As the wise army warriors drove away, they did not discern things and turned around. As a result, the two crowds collided head-on and trampled on each other, causing countless deaths and injuries.

Seeing this scene, the horseback warriors of the wise army often had very excited grinning smiles on their faces.

Then the Zuqing squad of the Wise Legion followed up and slaughtered the followers of Yixiangzong with spears and swords.

Countless followers of the Yixiangzong were slaughtered at this moment, and the scene in front of them was just the Oda Army slaughtering the followers of the Yixiangzong on Long Island and Hokuriku.

Otani Pingma, and Lai Liang saw this **** scene in the next room, both eyes were red.

Otani Hirama hurriedly shouted: "Nobunaga is really a beast. He can do such things. I must not let him go?"

At the moment Otani Hirama put down Shimama Rai Ryo, grabbed a naginata from the monk beside him, and rushed to the Oda Army riding team alone.

"Pingma, don't be impulsive!"

At the moment when Lai Liang was yelling, Otani Hirama unexpectedly met several cavalrymen from the Oda Army who rushed towards him, and one person picked three of them with a naginata.

The bravery of this scene made everyone present incredible.

Seeing this, Lai Liang and the hundreds of monks and soldiers were morale up, and immediately killed the Oda Army in order to rescue the followers of Yixiangzong nearby.

However, the resistance of these hundreds of monk soldiers attracted the attention of the Oda Army. However, for a long time, the Wise Team split up and immediately surrounded the monk soldiers and hundreds of believers~www.wuxiamtl .com~ It seems that we are going to die here today. "

Shimona Lai Liang said to Otani Hirama, and Otani Hirama held a Naginata in his hand, his face full of indomitable expression.

Seeing the scene of being surrounded, the monks and the believers were pale and desperate, but they also knew that the end of surrender was the same, and they decided to fight to the death and die.

Just as the Wise Army ordered to encircle and wipe out this Yixiangzong monk soldier, on the other side of the river, a large army with sun and moon double-stripe flags and objects has suddenly appeared in the sight of the Oda Army and the Yixiangzong followers.

ps: Historically, Otani Yoshiji's origin has three theories. Needless to say the first two, this book uses the origin of Otani, the official of Qinglianyuan Temple in Hongan Temple.

There is no doubt that Otani Yoshiji's sister is the wife of Honganjibo official Shima Railiang.

It is also said that Otani Yoshichi was born with Kato Kiyomasa, Fukushima Masanori, and Ichiyanagi Naomo who served as Hashiba Hideyoshi.
