If it is too late today, the clan plans to let the army under his command rest for a night, and early tomorrow morning, when the army under his command is full of physical strength, he will attack this temple again, and he can wipe out the 800 monks in one fell swoop.

The teachings of Teruren Temple and the commander of the monks and soldiers of Honganji Temple were plotting in a quiet room at the moment, and since reaching an agreement with Takeda Commander Yama Shokei, he sent a large number of his cronies to Matsukura Castle to inquire about the news, and since that day, various information about the Takayama family has been sent back to the temple.

When they learned that the Takayama clan had moved the castle to Takayama Castle, the teachings of Teruenji Temple and Shimoma Yoriteru couldn't help but hate, and their purpose in attacking Matsukura Castle was not only to help the Takeda army, but the most important reason was to kill the Takayama clan with their own hands, and only the Takayama clan was slashed so that they could spit out the evil qi in their chests.

However, since they had an agreement with the Takeda family, they were not good at changing themselves, so they had to act according to the original plan, and with the departure of the army in Matsukura Castle, the army in the city was only a hundred people, which was no longer any difficulty for them, as long as the army arrived, then this Matsukura Castle would be easily breached.

Therefore, the two of them seemed very relaxed when they were talking, and while the two of them were talking, a monk soldier who had been sent to Matsukura Castle to investigate was rushing to the temple.

When he was a few miles away from Zhaolian Temple, he found that there was a fire not far from the roadside, out of curiosity, the monk soldier was short, quietly walked over, this is not good, at a glance can not help but be shocked, by the firelight, he can clearly see the mountain flag at the entrance of the camp, if he did not go to Matsucang Castle, I don't know whose army this is. But he had just returned from Matsukura Castle, how could he not know that the mountain army in this camp was the Takayama army.

And the Gaoshan army is camped in this time, and there is no need to ask to know that this army must be against this temple.

Looking at the scale of this camp, it is enough for 1,000 people to be stationed, and if you don't notify the guards to prepare as soon as possible, even if you have Honganji to help. I'm afraid that he will also suffer, thinking of this, he immediately rushed towards Zhaolian Temple.

Since it's early to night. Therefore, the teachings of Teruenji Temple have also rested. But the monk couldn't care so much now, so he rushed to the outside of the dwelling and said loudly, "First seat." Disciple Xinhai has something important to report. ”

The teachings of Terurenji Temple are awake, but he has no intention of meeting him, Xinkai is one of the disciples who was sent to Matsukura City by himself, and now that the Takayama clan has already left this city, what big can he do, so he plans to ask again tomorrow.

I only heard him speak: "I'll talk about it tomorrow, step down." ”

Although this is the order of the first seat, if it is placed in normal times, he must not dare to say anything, but now that it is related to the survival of Zhaolian Temple, how dare he really leave.

I only heard Xinhai speak again: "The first seat." The disciple found the high mountain army in the five miles outside the temple, the number of which was as many as thousands, and was currently resting in the camp, and the disciple was afraid that it would be unfavorable to the temple, so he had to report. Please also be the first to decide. ”

"What, the Alpine Army is coming? It's true at this point. After hearing the news, the teachings of Teruenji Temple jumped up from the couch with a thud, walked a few steps quickly and pushed the door, and then came to Xinhai and asked anxiously.

"Looking back. This is what the disciple saw with his own eyes, and it is absolutely true. After listening to the teachings of Teruren Temple, I couldn't help but panic in my heart, could it be that the matter of my conspiracy with the Takeda family was known by the Takayama clan? Yes, it must be so, otherwise how could its army suddenly appear here when it was stationed in Gaoshan City.

Thinking of this, I only heard him immediately order: "Quickly wake up the monks in the temple, and call the next master to the main hall to discuss matters." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that Lai Zhao pushed the door of the room and walked out neatly, the voice of Xinhai's report was not loud, and as soon as he spoke, Lai Zhao had already woken up. …,

It didn't take long for the monks and soldiers in the temple to be awakened, when they heard that it was the Takayama army coming, they couldn't help but feel a pang in their hearts, the name of the Buddha enemy of the Takayama clan they had already thought it was like thunder, and all the temples that had been attacked by it were all turned into ashes, Mikawa, Iseji Temple did not escape the fate of being destroyed, even the Enryakuji Temple, although it was not destroyed by his own hands, but he also couldn't drag it out, those who had a tall temple wall, thousands of monks and soldiers of the big temple could not stop the attack of the Takayama army, then this Zhaolian did not have the possibility of blocking.

Zhaolian Temple is just a small temple in the mountains, not only small in scale, and the temple wall is low, with such a defense, how can it block the attack of the Gaoshan army, and the Gaoshan clan and its troops have already been demonized by the monks of the temple, and the monks of the Lianzhao Temple only know how to bully men and women on weekdays, and few of them participate in Buddhism, so their loyalty to the temple really needs to be verified.

If it weren't for the 700 reinforcements sent by Kaga Honganji, I'm afraid that most of them would have fled before the Takayama army could attack.

And looking at the seven hundred Honganji monks and soldiers, after learning the news, they all felt excited, they did not hear the rumors that the Takayama clan was demonized, but not only did they not feel frightened, but they were full of spirit, they firmly believed in their hearts that even if the Takayama clan was really a demon, he himself was also a guardian of demons and demons, once he got rid of it, then he would be able to ascend to bliss after his death, and even if he died under his hands, he would be pitied by the Buddha, in this case, what else is there to be afraid of.

So I saw that most of them were polishing their long-handled pheasant knives in their free time, and the rest were making the most preparations before the war.

And after seeing them, the monks and soldiers of Terurenji Temple couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, with these seven hundred elite monks sent by Kaga Honganji, they should be able to beat back the Takayama Army, and after they retreated, they should return the vulgar to whatever they say, and now the Takayama clan has taken all the land of Ji Xiaolu's family, even if this time with the help of Honganji to block the attack of the Takayama Army, then next time, the temple is within its territory, and Honganji is far away in Kaga, and it is impossible to always send monks to stay, so as long as it is withdrawn, Then I am afraid that this will be the time of the destruction of this temple.

After this war, he still took the money he scavenged from the villagers and flew away, even if he didn't return to the world, he had to find a temple far away from the Gaoshan clan to take refuge.

And while these monks were anxiously waiting in the temple, according to the teachings of Lotus Temple, Shimoma Lai Zhao, and a few monks of some status were gathering in the main hall to discuss countermeasures.

When the monks in the hall listened to Xinhai's report, their frowning brows couldn't help but stretch a little, the Gaoshan army was not attacking, it was just more than a thousand troops, what was there to fear.

Now it is different from the past, there are now 700 Honganji elite monks in the temple, those monks are more elite than the monks in the temple, even if the Takayama army has some advantages in numbers, as long as there are Honganji monks and soldiers in this temple, and there is this temple to defend, even if it is a high mountain army, it is difficult to eliminate the temple.

As long as the Takayama army can repel this attack, I'm afraid that the army of the Takeda family is almost about to attack, and the Takayama family will definitely be destroyed at that time, so what else do I have to worry about.

However, after all, the combat power of the Gao Shan Army is a world-famous elite division, although they have eased down, they will never dare to be careless.

After Xinhai finished speaking, after withdrawing from the main hall, he only listened to the teachings of Zhaolian Temple and asked: "I am afraid that you have already understood the current situation, there are thousands of people in the Gaoshan army, and even if we add the reinforcements led by the master of the lower room, there are only 800 people, and it is too late to incite the villagers to fight, I don't know what you think about this battle." ”

As soon as the doctrine was finished, I only heard Mingjiao, who was sitting in the first place, speak: "The first one, the disciple thinks that the Zhaolian Temple can be used for defense, although the Gaoshan Army is more than the monks of the temple, but it is an attacking side, and although this Zhaolian Temple is not as good as those big temples, but now there are 800 monks and soldiers in the temple, and it is not so easy for the Gaoshan Army to capture the temple, so the disciple believes that it is the best way to hold on to it at present." ”…,

And when he finished speaking, he only listened to the believer sitting next to him and nodded and said: "First seat, the disciple thinks that what the senior brother said is reasonable, and at present, there are not only 800 monks and soldiers in the temple, but also the materials and food brought by the master of the lower room, even if we can't hold on, it is enough to hold on for more than a month, and the Takeda family will launch a full-scale attack on the Gaoshan family in less than a month. Therefore, the disciples also think that it is better to stick to the temple and make a decision. ”

After he finished speaking, the monks who came back also expressed their opinions, but the advice from their mouths was without exception to persuade the first to stick to the monastery.

Although the teachings of Zhaolian Temple are not very cautious, but this battle has to face the Buddha enemy Gaoshan clan, and he can't help but deal with it carelessly, he also believes that at present, only sticking to it is the most appropriate way, after all, he still knows very well what the virtues of those monks and soldiers under his command are, usually in the fish and meat township, it is enough to bully and bully the villagers, but now he is facing the Gaoshan army, once he fights with it, it is not bad not to escape, how can he still expect them to attack.

And although the 700 Honganji monks are elite, but the next Mari is here, and it is not their turn to command, if the real one goes to war, because of the temple causes them to suffer heavy losses, even if the first seat of Kaga Honganji is not to blame, but in the future, I don't want to get help from him, Hida is such a poor place, once Kaga Honganji cuts off the aid, then Terurenji doesn't know when it will develop, anyway, I don't want to see it in my life.

Thinking of this, I only heard him speak: "What you said is reasonable, I decided to defend in the temple, and before the mountain army has attacked, you will immediately lead the monks of this temple to the mountains to collect rolling wood and thunder stones, in case of emergency." After speaking, I saw him look at Lai Zhao again and said, "Master, please help defend the city in Xia." (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
