Chapter 821: Three Quarters in the Afternoon
The sky was clear, and the sun was high. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info It's cloudless, and it's a clear sky.
In the Shitennoji Temple, Matsunaga Masashi looked up at the sky, and his heart seemed to be a little calmer.
In this weather, there will be no thunder.
"Lord Matsunaga, the men are already in ambush!" The man who appeared behind Shoichi Matsunaga saluted and said, "There are also rolling stones, logs, and hot oil hidden on the walls. Once the Tang army enters the city, it can immediately close the city gate and encircle and annihilate the Tang army. ”
Matsunaga nodded and said, "Yu Chai-kun, you must be cautious not to be discovered by the Tang army and lure the Tang army into the city." His Royal Highness Prince Shotoku has entrusted Osaka to me, and I must not fail to live up to my trust. Even if you don't want to go with Osaka, you have to stop the Tang army here and buy time for His Majesty the Emperor Fujiwara Kyonaka! ”
"Yes!" The man known as Yuchai nodded and bowed, and agreed.
"Okay, you go check again." Matsunaga said with a wave of his hand.
"Lord Matsunaga, there is still a stick of incense, and it is three o'clock in the afternoon...... "The man reminded again after saluting.
Matsunaga Masaichi frowned, turned around and reprimanded in a low voice: "The foolish people in the city have heard that the Tang army has the help of the gods, and even the god Amaterasu is on the side of the Tang army to help the Tang army. Do you believe this rumor? ”
"The subordinates don't ......," the man quickly defended himself when he heard Matsunaga Shoichi's words.
"That's it!" Shoichi Matsunaga interrupted him and said, "We are in the Temple of the Four Heavenly Kings, and we are protected by the Four Heavenly Kings, so we don't have to worry. That is just the arrogant and arrogant words of the Tang army, we only need to make an ambush, lure the Tang army into the city, close the door and beat the dogs. Back then, the Four Heavenly Kings blessed His Royal Highness Prince Shotoku to defeat Monobu, and now he will also protect the Wa Kingdom to defeat the Tang army. ”
The man nodded, said nothing more, and retired.
Looking up at the sky, the sky is still clear.
Shoichi Matsunaga took a deep breath, walked out of Shitennoji Temple, mounted his horse, and headed for the castle gate.
The Tang army had only twelve ships, and even if there were three hundred people on each ship, there were only six thousand people in total. There are 10,000 defenders in Osaka Castle, how can they not defeat the Tang army? Shoichi Matsunaga thought in his heart. Just pretend to surrender and introduce the Tang army into the city, then you can immediately close the city gates, trap the Tang army in the city, have nowhere to escape, and kill them all. Even if Osaka is destroyed, the Tang army will be stopped and wiped out here-Matsunaga Masashi thought firmly.
When they arrived at the city gate, Shoichi Matsunaga's eyes met that of the general guarding the gate, and both of them nodded firmly, seeing the determination in each other's eyes.
This is destined to be a battle to the death, and it is also the honor of the samurai! The same words sounded in the hearts of the two.
The time is getting closer and closer to three o'clock in the afternoon.
As soon as Matsunaga climbed the city wall, he looked extremely closely, wanting to see the figure of the Tang army.
However, there was no shadow of the Tang Army.
Shoichi Matsunaga's heart suddenly felt a little uneasy.
Suddenly, a small black dot suddenly appeared in the field of vision. Matsunaga stared at it, and the small black dot gradually approached, and gradually grew larger in the field of vision.
"Look!" Suddenly, someone shouted from the city wall.
I saw that the black dot had already approached, and it quickly became larger in the field of vision, and a huge shadow was cast, and it turned out to be a huge egg-shaped thing flying in the air!
"Monster!" Yuchai suddenly shouted: "Matsunaga-sama! It's the flying monster! ”
Shoichi Matsunaga already remembered. The sailors of the Wa Kingdom also appeared in this egg-shaped flying monster before, brought the "oracle", and then sprinkled a rain of fire from the bodies of these monsters that could burn in the water!
There was only one monster, and it flew over quickly, and the huge body appeared in the eyes of the people, and they saw that there were indeed big characters written in the Japanese script on it!
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the divine thunder came. Destroy the city gate and welcome the Tang army. Decree of Amaterasu, the goddess of the Wakuni Kingdom.
Matsunaga's eyes widened, and he stared at the words on the monster in a daze.
The monster flew over the walls, over the heads of the guards on the walls. A great shadow fell to the ground, and all the people of the city saw it. Naturally, I also saw the huge handwriting on the "monster".
Suddenly, as if he had suddenly remembered something, Matsunaga Shoichi turned around sharply and shouted at the Japanese soldiers on the city gate: "Run! Come on! Come on! ”
In an instant, as if cold water had been sprinkled into a hot oil pot, the pot exploded above the city gate. The soldiers guarding the city gate began to run down one after another, and countless people crowded together, and even fell from the top of the platform.
There was chaos on the city wall, and Yuchai immediately grabbed Shochi Matsunaga and said, "My lord! Come on! ”
"Let's go!" Maruichi Matsunaga smashed Yuchai away: "I want to see with my own eyes how Amaterasu helps Tang Guo." ”
"Your Excellency!" Yushiba grabbed Shoichi Matsunaga again.
Shoichi Matsunaga shook him off again, then took a few steps back, standing in the middle of the gate building.
Seeing Matsunaga Maseichi's resolute attitude, Yuchai hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth, and turned around and ran.
Suddenly, under the blue sky and white sun, I suddenly heard a few muffled sounds from a distant place.
"Boom, boom! ......" The sound was as muffled as thunder in the sky, and it came continuously.
The next moment, I saw a huge earthquake on the city wall, and a piece of debris suddenly exploded from above, and the city wall immediately collapsed.
With a few more "boom" sounds, the debris on the city wall flew one after another, and the ground shook like the earth under his feet, and the city wall began to collapse one by one.
Everyone was stunned and even forgot to run away. I only heard a roaring sound from far away, and I saw that with the sound of that sound, the city walls suddenly exploded one by one, and the rubble burst out and collapsed one after another.
Broken stones flew everywhere, and stunned people were smashed on their heads and bleeding. There was an uproar in the crowd, and then they reacted again, and began to scatter and flee again.
With a few roars, the city gate building suddenly exploded open, turning into a piece of rubble and bursting out. The city gate collapsed with a bang, and Matsunaga Shoichi also set up a pulp of minced meat.
"Amaterasu God's edict, don't surrender quickly, welcome the Tang Dynasty!"
In the midst of the chaos, there was a sudden sound like this.
"Amaterasu God's edict, don't surrender quickly, welcome the Tang Dynasty!"
Such shouts appeared in the panicked crowd, and the people of the city knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
Someone shouted in the crowd: "The official family disregards the lives of the people and violates the oracle of Amaterasu, and Amaterasu will punish him!" Everyone hurry up and rush to the official's house to arrest people and ask Apayasu for their guilt, so that they can get Amaterasu's forgiveness! ”
There was a roar, an explosion again and again, and the city wall collapsed continuously, mixed with the appearance of minced meat splashing...... The people in Osaka Castle couldn't care about whether it was true or false, but they seemed to finally have a life-saving straw and began to rush to the officials' homes. (To be continued.) )
