Chapter 818: One Color Perishes
Thinking of this, I only heard the clan ask the clan: "Okay, since you know that you are wrong, then I will punish you for ......a month this time."
"Lord, my subordinates think it's inappropriate, my subordinates' defeat this time is really damaging to the prestige of my family, and my lord only fined him for one month, which is not enough to show punishment, so his subordinates asked for an additional punishment."
"Even if you have some enlightenment, in this case, I will give you the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, I order you to continue to lead a thousand ninja troops to attack Miyazu City, if you can't capture this city within half a month, then the two crimes will be punished together, and you will apologize." If you were to be forgiven of all your previous sins, would you be able to hear clearly? ”
Yokotani Yushige couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard it, now he has heard the truth of the other party on this military discussion, as long as the other party does not have thousands of iron cannons, then it is not difficult to capture this city, even if the other party has mobilized a large number of peasants and soldiers during this period of time, but in front of the thousand troops under his command, it is completely just a decoration, so there is no need to worry at all, let alone half a month, I am afraid that as long as a few attacks are launched, this city can be breached.
"Thank you, my lord, my subordinates will take this city within half a month."
"My lord, now that my father has been appointed as the chief general of Miyazu Castle's city defense, as long as the city gate is opened when the army is attacking, then unnecessary casualties can be reduced, and the lord is invited to decide." Inatomi Yuzhi knew in his heart that this was a great opportunity for his own meritorious service, and maybe with this merit, the family business could be preserved, and even if he couldn't, his father and younger brother should be looked down upon in the future when they were ministers of the Sakuma family, so that he could also work for the Takayama family with peace of mind.
The clan was a little reluctant after hearing this, after all, this time it was related to the reputation of the family, but the latter sentence still moved the clan sect, and the lives of the troops under his command were equally important, especially the high mountain army, they were all elites who had been trained and fought for several years. It's better not to lose or not to lose, after all, the financial and material resources spent to train such a ashigaru are really not low, and there will be a war with Hojo next, and the army should not suffer too many casualties.
Thinking of this, I only heard the clan say: "Okay, you can discuss this matter with Yokotani Yukishige on your own." ”
"Minori Ogino. Sakuma Morimasa, I order you two to lead 3,000 troops to sweep away Tango, and never let go of an enemy. Sakuma Nobumori originally wanted his troops to attack Miyazu Castle in order to reduce the losses of the Takayama Army, but he suddenly heard Inatomi Yu's straight words, so he still gave up, after all, under the internal and external echoes, the losses of the Takayama Army will not be too big at all, so he didn't say much.
"It's my lord."
The strategy is very simple. But this is indeed the most effective for the Isshiki family, at this moment the Isshiki family has mobilized 8,000 peasant soldiers, plus 1,000 in Miyazu Castle, the defenders have a total of 9,000 people, seeing such a number, Isshiki Yoshido is finally a little more relieved, because he has always regarded himself very highly, so he does not take the enemy army very seriously. After all, the last time his 1,000 troops were completely defeated by the 1,000 troops of the Gao Shan family, even if these peasant soldiers were not in good hands. But there is a city to defend, how can two of them top one of the other, and now the enemy army that has invaded the territory is only 4,000, and it should not be too difficult to defend this city.
The more Ichishiki Yoshido thought about it, the more relieved he became, and after handing over the defense of Miyazu Castle to Naohide Inatomi, he stopped asking.
But soon he was not happy. In the afternoon of the same day, Isshiki Yoshido was originally enjoying the constant shouts of killing from outside the city, but he suddenly found that the shouting and killing was suddenly getting closer and closer.
And just when he didn't know why, he suddenly saw the attendant rushing in. Said in a panic: "Report, lord, the big thing is not good, when the enemy attacked the city, Inatomi Naohide suddenly opened the city gate, and now the enemy has entered the city, the lord has not killed the enemy, or run away." ”
"It's... This is impossible, how can Naohide Inatomi rebel, this is impossible. After hearing the news, Isshiki Yoshido was like five thunderbolts, the Inatomi family had been serving the family for decades, and had been working for the family since his father's generation, and had always been loyal, how could he suddenly rebel.
"Report to the lord, the enemy has already attacked Sannomaru, Numata and other adults are defeated and are now dead, the enemy is attacking Honmaru, the lord is not to be ado, it is better to leave this city." Just as he was guessing, he saw another junior samurai rush in and say loudly.
And Isshiki Yoshido can't think of the reason for the time being, but he also knows that this matter should be true, if he escapes at this moment, it is still possible, but in the face of life and death, Isshiki Yoshido is much stronger than Hatano Hideji, after all, although the two identities are the same, but the background of the family is not a little bit worse, the Hatano family is a wealthy family, so it has the previous status, and the Isshiki family is a four-position famous family, from ancient times to the present, it is a well-known family, and death can, But he would never be able to do such a humiliating thing as making him submit or escape.
So after listening to it, Isshiki Yoshido not only did not intend to escape, but instead drew the knife in his waist and shouted loudly: "The Isseki family guarded the shogunate in the era, and now the rebels are in charge, the world is covered with dust, and I can't go to Antu to crusade against the rebels, and now he is actually plotting to seize the foundation of his family, if he doesn't fight to the death with him, won't he make the people of the world laugh, so I am determined to fight to the death with the enemy!" Speaking of this, I saw Isshiki Yoshido say to the two in front of him: "You two immediately gather all the defenders in Honmaru and fight the enemy with me!" ”
"It's the lord." Although the two were reluctant, as samurai, they did not forget their duty, so after answering, they immediately began to prepare.
But they have the consciousness of dying for the lord, but those ashigaru don't have such thoughts, there are only a hundred people in the flag, and these hundred ashigaru have fled more than half of them after seeing the enemy enter the city, and the rest except for a very few who are willing to be buried for the Isshiki family, the rest are completely because they were stupid by this scene and forgot to escape. This is not to blame them, the Isshiki family rarely fought in Tango, so even if they are Qimoto Ashigaru, but the number of times they have really fought is only a handful, so that the combat power of these Ashigaru is not to mention that compared with Takayama and the elite of the Sakuma family, even compared with Kai and Shinano's peasant soldiers, they only have more armor and weapons, but their combat power is still inferior.
In the blink of an eye, I saw that the attendant and the low-level samurai of the Isshiki family walked in with a sad face, and behind them, there were less than thirty ashigaru, with such combat power, let alone protecting the safety of the lord, I am afraid that after the other party's charge, these people will be gone.
Seeing that the general trend had gone, Yishi Yidao couldn't help but sigh three times, and then said: "You have followed me for many years, and now the defeat of my family is inevitable. After saying that, I saw Isshiki Yoshido turn around and walk in the direction of the inner room. Although he is a little weaker, he is not mediocre, the battle situation is extremely obvious at this moment, let alone thirty people, even if he gives himself three hundred, three thousand people are gone.
And now he has completely figured it out, don't blame Inatomi Naohide for suddenly rebelling, if you want to blame yourself, he not only underestimated the strength of the enemy, but also underestimated the power of the enemy, Isshiki Yoshido always thought that although the strength of the family was weaker, but after all, it was a famous family, and the retainers under his command should be the same as himself, and feel honored to be a member of the famous family, but now it seems that all this is false, only strength is real, and what is the use of having a reputation without strength.
"The lord, the subordinates are willing to be loyal to the lord, and as long as there is one of the subordinates alive, they will never let the enemy attack the castle tower." If Isshiki Yoshido just blindly let these people fight to the death, then it would definitely backfire, but now the lord actually let himself flee for his life, if he really left like this, he was a little too reluctant to go, and at this moment the enemy has invaded the city, and the hope of escaping is very slim, rather than this, it is better to fight with the enemy.
And Isshiki Yoshido didn't shirk after hearing this, and said directly: "Since you are willing, I will no longer be reluctant, I will now give you one last order, try to delay the enemy's attack on the castle tower as much as possible, and I will leave with dignity." ”
"Lord, please let your subordinates make mistakes for you." When the attendant heard that the lord was planning to commit suicide, he couldn't help but say as he followed.
"Joke, I'm the head of a dignified family, don't you use others to make mistakes, you step down." After speaking, he walked towards the inner room without looking back.
When they spoke, the ninja army led by Yokoya Yushige and the rebels led by Inatomi Naohide did not stop attacking, and the peasant soldiers in the army of the Isshiki family took advantage of the chaos to flee when the city gate was opened, and the reason why the leading samurai of the Isshiki family and the thousand banners of Ashigaru rebelled with Inatomi Naohide was that they were not killed on the spot, completely because Inatomi Naohide did not make the matter public before opening the city gate, but completely handed it over to his cronies, and as soon as the city gate opened, those low-level samurai saw that the general trend had gone, So I had to follow the trend. After cooperating with the ninja army to easily defeat Sannomaru, there was no resistance, after all, the combat power of the Isshiki family was extremely limited, and the peasant soldiers had fled, so as soon as the army arrived, Ninomaru fell immediately.
The army did not delay much, but marched all the way towards Honmaru.
Where could the more than 30 troops of Honmaru be the opponent of thousands of troops, and sure enough, after taking a look, none of these 30 people remained, and all fell to the ground.
Isshiki Yoshido is worthy of being a famous family, even seppuku is very particular, if it is not now that the conditions are no longer allowed, I am afraid that it will have to take a bath, but just as he changed into a pure white samurai suit and sat in the living room, but what he was holding at the moment was not a rib, but a pen, this time he was thinking about the death verse, in his opinion, since he was going to die decently, if he could not leave a death poem, how could it be called perfect.
