Ashikaga Yoshiteru has not heard from him since he entered Kyoto, in fact, it is a bit dispensable for the people of the Date family, in their eyes Ashikaga Yoshiteru is just a clown, once Date Masata, he will have to sweep into the incompetence of history. Ashikaga Yoshiteru's entry into Kyoto is still Date Masaki's meaning, although it is not clear what is going on here, but most of the people present have more or less heard a little about the situation, Ashikaga Yoshiteru hopes to gather a large army to attack Ishiyama Honganji, it is obvious that those old temple forces have no intention of directly attacking Ishiyama Honganji Temple to completely tear face. In the eyes of everyone, the forces of the old monastery have now torn their faces, and it is really a foolish thing to have the dream of sitting down and talking about peace.

The old temple forces at both ends, Ashikaga Yoshiki is also in a dilemma, this matter is well known, the original so-called plan to save Zhao from Wei is now said to save Zhao, and even the matter of encircling Wei is not said to be successful, that is, there is no follow-up now. However, Ashikaga Yoshiteru entered Kyoto, and lobbied back and forth every day, but he got a lot of soldiers and horses, but there were a lot of people, and there was a serious shortage of weapons and armor, grain and grass, especially the last bit of grain and grass, and now there is a shortage of grain and grass everywhere in Kinai. This is also the reason why the old temple forces did not want to besiege Wei to save Zhao, and the siege battle was fought with grain and grass and patience, and even if there was patience without grain and grass, it would have to be exhausted, especially when there was a large amount of food hidden in the Ishiyama Honganji Temple.

Isn't it a joke that the besieged will starve to death, and the besieged will be fed and warm? Ashikaga Yoshiki's plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao is a very ridiculous thing in the eyes of many people, especially now that everyone is making trouble, Ishiyama Honganji is not a bunch of stupid pigs with low IQ. If you have already made preparations, you will go to Wei to rescue Zhao. That's not the way smart people do things. However, Ashikaga Yoshiteru still has a big advantage. He also retained the dignity of the shogunate.

The relationship between Ashikaga Yoshiteru and the old temple forces is more like an ally, which is why there are countless pillars of samurai in the world who have joined the world, of course, in the eyes of the Date family, it is just a praying mantis blocking the car, but it also takes courage to be a praying mantis.

Ashikaga Yoshiki still has some sense of existence, so Ashikaga Yoshiaki, the guy who sold all the hundreds of pounds of meat on his body to Ishiyama Honganji, makes people feel sad, of course, these are not things that the Date family cares about, once the Date family goes to Luo, these people are all on the sidelines.

Kuroda Kanbei said that the most anxious person was not the Honganji of Ishiyama Honganji. It was when Ashikaga Yoshiteru was that everyone remembered that the Muromachi Shogunate also had a "former" Ashikaga Yoshiteru, the general of the Shogunate, and this predecessor was in quotation marks. After Ashikaga Yoshiaki went to Tsuruga, Miyoshi Nagakei supported Ashikaga Yoshiaki to become the new shogun, and due to the discord between the Date family and the Miyoshi family, Date Masaki never recognized Ashikaga Yoshiaki as the new shogun.

Later, Ishiyama Honganji supported Ashikaga Yoshiei as the new shogun, although it was short-lived, only a few months, but due to the ambiguous relationship between the Date family and Ishiyama Honganji at that time, he pretended to admit it after informing Ashikaga Yoshiteru. Later, after the Sakai Port Incident, Ashikaga Yoshiei was kidnapped by Miyoshi Minoru during the Sakai Port Incident. Ashikaga Yoshiaki joined Ishiyama Honganji Temple, and Ashikaga Yoshiki returned to Sakamotokan. The two brothers dragged each other, shouting that they were the real generals of Zhengyi, and this public case has not yet been decided. In official documents, the people of the Date family generally refer to Ashikaga Yoshiaki as Tsuruga or Sakamoto Prince, while Ashikaga Yoshiaki is Yoshira or Namba Prince.

Ashikaga Yoshiteru is also understandably anxious, Date Masaki has always been inseparable from him, Ashikaga Yoshiki sent the envoy Hosokawa Fujitaka three or four times to pull Date Masaki to the wheel of the shogunate, and even took out such an honorary position as a deputy general without tying Date Masaki. Once Date Masaki is on Luo, he is not Ouchi Yoshiko, nor is he deeply involved Hosokawa Masagen and Miyoshi Chokei, once such a behemoth political entity is on Luo, it will be a pattern of pushing forward.

What's more, the current Ashikaga Yoshiki is not fully prepared for Date Masahiro to go to Luo, and after tasting the power of the army, making him a puppet, a marionette, is a matter that would rather die than turn back.

Ashikaga Yoshiki is urgent, just as Kuroda Kanbei said, everyone can tell Ashikaga Yoshiteru's urgency, but just as he was about to say something, suddenly the war drums in front of him became urgent, because there was smoke at the head of the castle and it was not clear to see, but the besieging team began to retreat.

Zhengheng was quite surprised to learn that Miyazawa Heihachi actually began to take the initiative to retreat, and the original attack on Miki Castle was a bit against his original intention, but if he conquered Miki Castle, he would not be able to say anything, should he reprimand Miyazawa Heihachi, who had made great achievements. However, Zhengheng's mood was already not good, and he went against his original intention, and now he was retreating, which made him have a wrong idea about Miyazawa Heihachi. Zhengheng said to a young man behind him: "General, you go and attack again with Miyazawa Heihachi." ”

This young man is the one who followed in the early years and insisted on leading more than 100 miscellaneous soldiers in the first Battle of Kojima Bay, and dared to fight with Kobayakawa Takakei, Murakami Takeyoshi and other generals who came to sneak attack, and he had the same name and different surname as HD who went to Boqi Country.

After four or five years, Takei HD has grown up, but there are still some recklessness, but the charge to take the lead still depends on this kind of person who speaks lightly about life and death to do it, and Zhengheng also values him very much, when Kobayakawa Takakei and Murakami Takeyoshi attacked Kojima Bay, there were dozens of small cities Only the dilapidated Hayashima City Lord Takei HD dared to send troops to meet the battle, if it weren't for the arrival of aid from the Date family later, I'm afraid he would have been killed as in history, and died heroically.

Heihachi Miyazawa saw Takei running over with Masahiro's side, and he had already roughly guessed Date Masahiro's plan, and he tried to ask, "What does the lord mean to attack again?" ”

Miyazawa Heihachi was quite depressed, he was supposed to take advantage of the smoke to capture Miki Castle in one fell swoop, but he didn't expect that the defenders of Miki Castle would come out with a coarse cloth to kill the generals, and more than 500 people were used to attack the city this time. More than a dozen people died. More than fifty people were wounded. The morale of the troops was low, and Miyazawa Heihachi didn't want to fight it at all.

Zhujing replied cheerfully, and said: "Exactly, the lord ordered Youer to attack again, and I will come to help in the battle!" "He didn't have many cities in the first place, but Date Masaki's life was obeyed, and he didn't mean to take credit at all. A word made Miyazawa Heihachi grateful.

Miyazawa Heihachi got the order, where did he dare to slack off, in order to boost morale, he took the lead, carried a sword in his hand, proudly walked at the forefront of the team, and shouted: "Brothers, kill with me!" "It's completely different from what I mean to kill and what I mean, when the morale is high, killing me is useful. Now it's been in vain for a while, and it's criticized to kill me. However, killing me made everyone's murderous intent rise, and even the Lord rushed forward first, and there was something else to say.

The samurai of the pioneer battalion roared, and under the encouragement of the heavy reward, they began to climb the ladder again and sprint towards the castle, and the ashigaru soldiers who followed them were also encouraged to take courage and rushed up like a wave.

Bessho Anji, who was coughing constantly with a coarse cloth, could hear the chaotic footsteps under the castle through the fog, and he didn't know that the attack had been launched again, and it was he who led the pro-army guarding Honmaru to take the enemy out of the city just now, and he coldly ordered: "Release the arrow!" ”

Miki Castle was originally a castle that could accommodate seven or eight thousand people, but now there are only three or four thousand people in the city, but there are more than 1,000 soldiers, even if women and children are mobilized to fight, there are only more than 3,000 people, and the food in the city can last more than half a year, but the weapons and arrows are sufficient.

The defenders of the city have been holding their bows and arrows for some time, and the thick fog has made them cough constantly, and they can't see the movement of the city clearly, so they can only shoot indiscriminately at the bottom of the city, trying to force back the enemy, and they can't care about anything else when their lives are at stake, so they can only shoot indiscriminately.

"Whoosh ......" shot out rows of random arrows from the castle tower, and the soldiers of the Date Army, who rushed to the front and were bent on fighting for merit, instantly fell several people, but fortunately, the dense fog was pressing, and the siegers could not see clearly, the city was only a few feet high, and Miyazawa Heihachi had already climbed up.

Miyazawa Heihachi was a fierce general, after several years of tempering, he held his breath, rushed to the head of the city and there were enemies left and right, naturally there was no intention of looking left and right, he stepped on the city, and the knife in his hand was slashed to the ground towards a person who rushed to him with a knife.

As Miyazawa Heihachi stepped on the city, more and more soldiers of the Date family rushed to the head of the city, cut them up, and became a mess, and Besho Yasuji yelled: "Block, you must block it for me!" His roar could only attract the attention of the besieging soldiers, and immediately three soldiers rushed forward with swords.

The attack of the Date army was like a raging storm, so fierce that people couldn't resist it, and for the first time, they still had a fresh force to join in and take the other party by surprise, and they never thought that the other party would put in so much combat power at once, and they couldn't resist it at all.

Several guards blocked the onslaught of the Date soldiers, and some cronies persuaded beside Besho Anji: "City Lord, you can't stop it!" Let's withdraw this pill first. Miyazawa Heihachi seemed to have noticed the movement in this position, and slashed and killed here.

Zhujing HD also climbed up, haha, and said, "Kill with me!" "Towards the direction of the gate to kill the generals, more and more Date soldiers rushed to the city, Miyazawa Heihachi wanted to capture the thief and capture the king, and Takei HD broke through the gate to enlarge the army into the city.

Bessho Anji's bloodshot evil eyes glared at his cronies and said, "Withdraw!" "Once he withdraws to Honmaru, when the army is encircled, there will really be no way out. He saw that the rise of the Date army had reached a distance of more than ten zhang in front of him, gave up the plan to kill his cronies, kicked the people away, and commanded several retainers who still listened to his orders: "Retreat, break out, and ask for help from Ishiyama Honganji!" ”

Bessho Anji was timid, and said that the climax was repeated, and in the end he still had to evacuate Miki City, in his eyes, how could the small Miki City withstand the invasion of tens of thousands of troops, and now it was difficult to resist even the first wave of attacks, not to mention that there was an army like waves behind him.

But the attack of the Date army became more and more fierce, and Bessho Yasuharu and his cronies wanted to break through while the Date army had not arrived, and he originally wanted to hold on to the end, but after repelling the first wave of attacks, he knew that he could not hold on to Miki Castle alone.

Surrender is death, and the only way to escape is to go to Ishiyama Honganji Temple to ask for help. Where would Heihachi Miyazawa give him this opportunity, he roared loudly, he was more like a fierce general who charged into battle than a general who commanded Ruoding.

Just as he wanted to go down from the castle tower, he heard a shout, and Bessho Yasuharu was about to turn his head, but he saw Miyazawa Heihachi pull out a short knife from his waist and throw it hard with a tiger roar. The short knife flew rapidly in the air, crossing a distance of more than ten zhang, and the blade was so cold that it stabbed into the neck of Besho Anzhi fiercely, and stabbed deeply.

The guards around Bessho Anji were all stunned, watching as a short knife was inserted into their city lord's neck, and their minds went blank.

Miyazawa Ping laughed, in addition to practicing martial arts in his spare time, he practiced this flying knife, he didn't expect to use it today, carrying the knife, rushed over and slashed indiscriminately, stopped in front of Anji of the other place and grinned, pulled out the short knife, cut off his head and pinned it to his waist, although he didn't know who the other party was, but judging from the clothes and position, he must be an important member of the city.

Half a day later, Date Masahiro came to Miki Castle accompanied by the generals, looking at the blood flowing down from the drainage ditch of the city wall, which had already dyed the Misuchi River red, shook his head and sighed: "I didn't expect that other places of Anji would fight to the death and not retreat, and I originally wanted to persuade him to surrender, but now it seems that the only way to attack is to attack." ”

The battle of Miki Castle was loud and clear.

It took nearly two years for Yushiba Hideyoshi to attack this city, and if it weren't for the lack of food and grass in the city, the lack of morale and foreign reinforcements, the city would be opened in the case of protecting the soldiers in the city, otherwise the city would have to be caged. In this way, Yushiba Hideyoshi was also written in a special book, and the killing of Miki Castle became the capital of Yushiba Hideyoshi to be proud of the world, which shows the lack of siege methods for cage warfare in the Warring States Period. If he knew that the Date army had occupied all the outer fortifications in one day, and that only Honmaru was left to resist stubbornly, how could he be embarrassed.

A good mood will always be ruined by someone, Hattori Masanari appeared beside him, handed over a piece of information, opened it, Zhengheng's brows couldn't help frowning, and then quickly let go, he read the information and handed it to Noyama Masasato: "Ashikaga Yoshiki finally made a move." (To be continued.) )
