I saw Prince Jue Shufa frowning, and couldn't help asking: "Kong Yan, aren't you fighting with the Oda family in the southern near general, how could you come here without care, and you are so down, what happened?" ”

I only heard Longsheng Temple say in a panic: "It's over, it's all over." ”

Hearing this answer, Ashikaga Yoshiaki also panicked, only to see him stand up and ask anxiously: "What's the end, are you talking about it!" ”

"Our army was ambushed by the enemy, the whole army was annihilated, all the abbots of the temples were killed, and I was the only one who fled back, and all the temples in Minami Omi were burned down by the Oda army......"

Before he could finish speaking, the chatter in the big tent completely drowned out his voice.

Two days ago, Minami Omi Temples also sent people to come, claiming that they had seriously injured the Shibata Katsu family, and the Oda army was defeated, as long as they made more efforts, they could be defeated, but it was only two days, how did the Oda army not collapse, the temple coalition army was wiped out first, and the temple was burned down by the Oda family, which ...... The situation is changing too fast.

Originally, Yamashiro Kokushuji Temple also hoped that after the alliance of the Minami Omi Temple defeated the Oda army, they would come back to fight the Takayama clan in Rakuchu Castle, but now that they are good, they can't be counted on at all.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki almost fainted after hearing this news like a thunderbolt from the sky, his side has not yet achieved results, the South Omi battlefield will lose first, and there is no room for recovery, how to fight this battle, in case Oda Nobunaga takes advantage of this time to attack with a large army, then the Ashikaga family's hundreds of years of foundation will be completely destroyed, regret should not have listened to Hosokawa Fujitaka and the world's forces to join forces, otherwise it would never have let the family fall into such a dangerous situation.

What is the use of saying this, he can only pin his hopes on Hosokawa Fujitaka now, hoping that he can quickly come up with a way to keep his family alive.

Thinking of this, I only heard him tremble and say: "Fuji Xiao, tell me quickly, what should I do now." ”

And when he finished. Everyone present also quieted down, staring at Hosokawa Fujitaka with expectant eyes.

Hosokawa Fujitaka is talented and wise, but what can he do in front of absolute strength when the matter has come to this point. All wisdom is empty talk, and he has been completely disappointed in Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and he no longer wants to contribute to Ashikaga Yoshiaki.

But when he thought of the promise he made to the ancestor back then, he still said: "Back to the lord, at present, the alliance of the temples of Minami Omi has been defeated, and I am afraid that the Oda army in Minami Omi will arrive in a few days, and it will be defeated." The enemy is good at sneak attacks and ambushes, maybe the Takayama clan is there, the most important thing to pay attention to at present is to prevent the enemy from sneaking up at night, if the enemy should be combined with the outside, then it is difficult to block the enemy's offensive, so the siege should be stepped up during the day, and the vigilance should be strengthened at night. As long as you can defeat the Oda army of Nakajo Castle and the southern general, then there is still a chance. This is the opinion of the subordinates, and I ask the Lord to decide. ”

The crowd listened. I feel that what he said is very reasonable, the Gaoshan Clan Sect has indeed not shown up in the past few days, as long as he is no longer in Luozhong City, it is still possible to quickly capture the city.

Moreover, although the Oda army of Minami Omi was victorious, it was also a great loss of vitality, and the Hao clan was basically on their side, as long as the two enemy armies were defeated before the arrival of the Oda army, it was possible to drag the army out of all forces in the world, and as long as it was delayed until then, it would be possible to turn defeat into victory.

Come to think of it. I only heard Prince Shufa solemnly say: "Ladies and gentlemen, now that we are already sitting in the same boat, this victory will allow everyone to take advantage of the situation, if we lose, then I am afraid that all including Enryakuji Temple will be destroyed." So in the next battle, I hope everyone can work together, if anyone wants to quit, please leave by yourself now, this seat will not stop you. ”…,

The matter has come to this point, who is willing to leave the abbot of the temple, even if he leaves now, I am afraid that after the victory of the Oda army, he will not be able to spare himself.

Thinking of this, the abbot of the temple hurriedly replied: "I am willing to fight to the death with the master and the Oda family, and I will obey the master's orders." ”

Prince Kakushu nodded after hearing this, and looked at Ashikaga Yoshiaki again, although this joint attack on Oda was initiated by him, but since the past few days of contact with him, Prince Kakushu Fa has a very low eye on this general, if he is allowed to command again, I am afraid that there will be only a dead end, so he has to force him to hand over the command.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki has long since lost the desire to fight for power, and now he only hopes that the Ashikaga family can be passed on, so as soon as Prince Kakushu's eyes fell on him, he heard him speak: "I am willing to listen to the master's orders." ”

And when Ashikaga Yoshiaki finished speaking, although his retainers did not say anything, they could still see deep disappointment in their eyes.

Even if the strength of the family is not good for the time being, but the dignity can not be discarded, after all, this is the criterion for the samurai, and now the lord will hand over the command, then it means that the dignity of the shogun's family no longer exists, even if this luck beats the Oda family, then with this humiliating history, who else in the world will obey the orders of the family, the lord has lost not only the country, but also the personality that the samurai value more.

However, Prince Jue Shufa didn't care so much, and seeing that he had established his status, he didn't talk nonsense, so he immediately announced the dissolution of the meeting, so as not to have too many dreams at night.

"Okay, everyone, it's getting late today, and I've decided to let the army rest well for a night today, and launch an attack on Luozhong City tomorrow, and strive to break through this city in one fell swoop. Meeting. ”

Hosokawa Fujitaka wanted to persuade him to start attacking the city today, but now that time is pressing, how can he afford such a waste, if he really waits for the arrival of the Oda army, how can he attack the city, however, after thinking about it, he still didn't say it in the end, but sighed unintentionally, and walked out of the city silently with everyone.

Another day, because the enemy army outside the city was very calm yesterday, and did not even launch an attack, although the defenders in the city did not say anything, but their hearts were very happy, especially the veterans who had been mixed on the battlefield for many years, according to their experience, they thought that this was probably a sign before the enemy retreated, which made his spirit of collapse also soothe a lot, and even the defense was a little lax.

But today they were not happy in any way, as soon as the day dawned, the enemy slaughtered the city, and the defenders of the city felt that this attack was still the same as a few days before, and it was still not challenging, but when the enemy attacked, they realized that they were wrong, and they were very wrong.

Prince Satoru followed the advice of Hosokawa Fujitaka, so he only sent 2,000 troops to attack, while he arranged the rest behind him to prevent a sudden attack by the Oda family.

As soon as the attack was launched, the defenders in the city suffered hardship, because they were caught off guard by the enemy, so that the enemy smoothly rushed to the city, so this caused serious losses to the defenders, especially the hundreds of Oda troops, only in the morning battle, they lost a hundred, if it were not for the heavy vine bow and ashigaru led by the city Omiya Jinglian and the ninja with a rain of arrows, the arrows in their hands kept washing outside the city, and the enemy was successfully forced back a few meters, I am afraid that the spear and the Oda army in the city would not be able to stop the gun formation.

Although the siege did not last long, due to the madness of the enemy, the losses on both sides were very serious.

And this is not the end, such a tragic battle lasted three times in this day, the defenders in the city because they were prepared, so the losses were not as heavy as in the morning, but they also paid more than 200 lives, and the Ashikaga coalition army outside the city was miserable, the original 47800 troops, after only this day's battle, there were less than 4,000 left, and the battle in one day was reduced by 20%, which is not acceptable to everyone. …,

But the only thing that made the temples outside the city so powerful was that more than half of the more than 1,000 fallen soldiers were farmers from the Ashikaga family.

Seeing that this Luozhong City is so difficult to gnaw, so Prince Jue Shufa is considered to have learned wisely, the three battles of this day are all for those peasant soldiers to take the lead, attracting the enemy's firepower, and the monks are following behind, if there is an opportunity to attack, if not, then continue to wait for the opportunity, and supervise the battle behind the peasant soldiers of the Ashiri family who were driven to the battlefield, if there is any want to escape, or if there are other abnormal movements, there is no need for the Oda army to destroy them, and the long-handled young knife behind them will cut their necks.

As a result, the losses of the monks were not very large, except for the wounded, less than 200 people were killed. Although doing so will be bad with the general's family, but it has already reached this time, and Prince Jue Shufa still cares about Ashikaga Yoshiaki's mood, if this battle is not won, then after the arrival of the Oda family's army, there will be only one way to die.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki roared at his retainers in another big tent, while gulping down wine, he didn't dare to scold Prince Jue Shufa, since the other party dared to be in front of him, drive his own army to death, then dare to assassinate himself, anyway, now when he is at war with the Oda family, as long as he pushes the Oda family, maybe he can speed up the speed of the world's forces to attack Oda, so Ashikaga Yoshiaki does not dare to provoke the other party, but the evil anger in his heart is difficult to swallow, In the end, he could only vent the anger in his heart on his retainers, and he could only use such a voice to tell everyone not to forget his identity, but he was so powerless.

When he was exhausted from scolding, there was only regret left in his heart, he didn't regret being an enemy of the Oda family, after all, if the family wanted to be revived, he must trample the Oda family under his feet, or even let it perish, he only hated himself for not reusing Hosokawa Fujitaka, but reusing the traitor Akechi Mitsuhide, if he could follow Hosokawa Fujitaka's advice and endure it for a few years, or wait for the strength of the army to go out of the army, if he was the enemy of the Oda family, then it was definitely not the current situation, although he had woken up now, but it was too late.
