Chapter 117: The First Battle of Miki Castle (7)

Spears flew, arrows were fired, and one warrior after another fell in a pool of blood. The resistance grew weaker and weaker, and hundreds of soldiers with three tiers of Lingling on their backs began to indulge their murderous intent in the villages. The once peaceful and peaceful valleys of the river have now become hell on earth.

Bessho father and son cowered in Miki Castle and did not dare to come out, and Captain Ueno did not have the intention of sacrificing himself for the white-eyed wolf of Bessho father and son, in the eyes of Ueno Masaga, it was a sin not to let them enter the comfortable Miki Castle, and Bessho father and son were white-eyed wolves.

Of course, Iwanari Yutong, who is the last of the three of the three people, is not a fool, and being able to become one of the important ministers under Miyoshi Changqing as a domestic slave is enough to see that he is not as reckless as he seems, or it can be said that he is successfully disguised in front of the world. Of course, he knew that Miyoshi Minoru was fighting with the idea of killing people with a knife, whether it was his attack on Miki Castle or fighting with the reinforcements of the Date family, even if he was victorious, it would be a tragic victory, and once he failed, he was afraid that he would be punished by Miyoshi Minoru immediately.

Iwanari Yutong understands that if you don't do something to fill up Miyoshi's Shixiu, you will also encounter accidents, and it is obvious that it is really a good thing to kill the people in other territories, and it is said that it is to force Miki Castle or the Date Army to send troops to rescue.

A large area of thatched huts had already burned down in the village, and the ground was full of burnt earth, and some charred objects that I didn't know if they were human bones or dog bones, and the flames could not wash away the blood that filled the air. In the middle of the village, there were a few stone-walled houses that were still in good condition, except for the occasional screams of women, of course, the unbridled laughter of soldiers, and the occasional innocent people being mercilessly killed. After a few screams of helplessness and misery. There were a few more human heads on the wooden pillars outside the village.

in the air. Light and blood dance together, and the sun tries to tear through the camouflage of a qiē and let the world see the most real world. The scorching sun obviously can't hide the ugliness of the world, exposing it all, letting this ugly world hover to the world with all kinds of helplessness and sighs in the world.

Yan Chengyou, who was standing on the hill at the head of the village, looked at the situation in the village, with a smug smile on his face, and the army under his command showed animal nature in the village without care. Instead, he added a bit more hideous, grinning as if no one was around, and after a while, he said to the lieutenant general who followed behind him: "The third village, is there no movement in the city?" "His approach is not poisonous, no matter whether the father and son of the other institute can not go out of the city, burning, killing and looting has reactivated the people of the headquarters whose morale has fallen to the bottom, and he has seen his relatives and friends die unexpectedly, but the father and son of the other institute are indifferent, which will inevitably make the morale of the defenders of Miki City fall sharply. This is also an explanation of the three good realities.

Soon more than 30 samurai dressed in different costumes came out of the stone house in the village. There was a bit of unfinished meaning on his face, and he waved his hand fiercely to let the burning torch be thrown into the house. A woman ran out of the room, her skin covered with black blue. The screams and screams of the flames only provoked more arrogant action from the killers, and the soldiers of the Miyoshi Army, who had been stimulated by the blood, picked back every survivor who escaped from the fire with their spears.

Arima Shige, who was standing behind Iwanari Yutong, frowned, and when he saw Iwanari Yutong looking at him, he immediately looked at Iwanari Yutong with a smile, and said, "My lord, the foreign minister had already asked the adult for the women in these villages a few days ago. ”

Arima Chong's posture changed very quickly, and he put it very low, which had the meaning of slapping the horse, which made Iwanari Yutong quite suspicious, squinting his eyes and smiling at Arima Chongno and said: "Chikugo Mahou, you mean buying and selling people, this is not easy to do?" ”

Arima rubbed his hands together and said, "My lord, this is not a way out of the question, as long as the lord orders, some merchants will come to buy the population, especially those young women, and the price in the market near the boundary port can be worth the usual price for one person." ”

When Iwanari Yutong heard it, of course he knew the meaning of Arima Shigenori's words, but in this way, he was afraid that he would end up with a bad reputation, and after returning to Jinai, he would inevitably be slandered by other people, and he would not be able to do things that outweighed the losses.

Seeing that Iwasari Youtong raised his eyebrows, he didn't mean to agree, so he immediately took a dose of fierce medicine and said in a low voice: "My lord, why were you sent out to gnaw that hard bone, and only gave the number of more than 2,000 people, I am afraid that I have already been hated, if I can make a windfall, first, I can have an explanation in front of Chikuzen, and secondly, I can use this as a generous gift to buy people's hearts, not only may you survive the current crisis, but I am afraid that you can also go to the next level, you see?" ”

Indiscriminate arrests, in general, are small-scale individual acts, and once such acts are escalated and used as a means of war by the military's top decision-makers, the danger is greater. Iwacheng Youtong frowned, for a long time, and nodded slightly, which can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence to the mention of Arima Chongzhi.

The operation immediately began to escalate, and the original village one day was now burning the morale of Miki Castle almost every hour.

At this moment, the atmosphere in Miki Castle had already become extremely tense, and under the command of the father and son of the other places and Anji, everyone evacuated the outer city and guarded the two and three cities. The elderly, women and children in the city, and the families of the soldiers in the outer city were also gathered and became sappers who carried arrows and weapons.

The flames that started burning in the southwest have spread to more than a dozen places, and the blazing torches set off the sky after sunset. The sun has set, and the people in the second and third cities are still busy. Some were carrying bamboo bundles to protect against bullets, some were ramming inside the closed gates, some were preparing firewood for the campfire, and some were busy cooking on the fire. Bessho left the castle tower and moved to a tatami hall made of tatami mats in Nido Castle, where he commanded the soldiers to guard the castle.

Obviously, the situation was not what the people of Miki Castle had imagined, and they thought that the sudden change outside the castle was a harbinger of another attack by the Miyoshi army. Iwanari Youtong was divided into four or five teams of men and horses to burn down various villages, arrest men, women and children, and loot all kinds of supplies.

Miyoshi Minoru of Tamkawa City listened to the report of Shinohara Nagafang, and suddenly heard the noise of the soldiers guarding the city, something must have happened? He ran to the eaves, and saw that the sky to the east was fiery red. Suddenly, a sense of foreboding hit my heart.

Miyoshi Minoru shouted loudly to the chaotic figures in the courtyard, "Someone! What's going on with the fire over there? ”

One of the guards ran over. Miyoshi didn't have time to pay attention to it, and climbed the watchtower in one go. For some reason, Miyoshi Minoru suddenly jumped up. Although he knew that setting fires on the battlefield was a common thing. But there is still a vague premonition that this arson is likely to directly lead to the defeat of the three good army.

Climbing up the watchtower, Miyoshi Minoru put up a canopy and silently looked at the place where the fire broke out in the east. There was more than one place where the fire started, and the second was scattered in several places, and many places were so bright that the eastern sky was red. However, the fire in front of him was extremely fierce, and there were many fires, which was obviously not an individual act, and the army that was still able to move freely in the east was either Iwanari Yudori, or the new Date Army, which he did not yet know. But he had a hunch that this fire was set by Iwanari Youtong.

Miyoshi Shixiu was so anxious that he couldn't help but tremble and roared angrily: "Bastard! Find out what happened. "If it was really a stupid thing for Iwanari Yutsu to do, then what was supposed to be a samurai battle between the Miyoshi Army and the Bessho Army and the Date Army turned into a war between the Miyoshi Army and the villagers of the entire Harima Province. Because in the eyes of the villagers of Harima Province, the Miyoshi Army has become a brutal army that does all kinds of evil, and the Bessho Army represents the interests of the villagers, and the Date Army, which originally played the role of invaders, has become the savior in their eyes.

The change of identity will make it difficult to move an inch of the three good army. Miyoshi Shixiu's worst worry thing still happened, the guard's report made him unbearable, indiscriminately fishing, it turned out to be a large-scale indiscriminate fishing, and he faintly felt a ball of anger burning in his chest.

Miyoshi Minoru wanted to yell and arrest Iwanari Yutsu to deal with it, but he had the blood of the Miyoshi family flowing on his body, and once again suppressed the burning anger, trying to control himself, with a smile on his face, but people didn't dare to look directly, he said: "Order him to invade Miki Castle before dawn tomorrow." ”

While speaking, Miyoshi Minoru made up his mind, using Miki Castle to say that the disgusting Date army was transferred out and wiped out in the field, once he made up his mind, he immediately began to order the generals to dispatch, and for a while, the situation in Tamkawa City changed suddenly.

Iwanari Tomotsu's fire disrupted not only Miyoshi's plan, but also Akamatsu Yoshiyu's actions.

Akamatsu Yoshisuke finally persuaded his allies to attack Katayama Hengcho, defeat the myth of the invincibility of the Date army, and boost the already low morale, but just out of the city, he regretted going out of the city a little, not because he couldn't find the enemy, the enemy was there, it was really that the gang of guys under his command was really unbearable, twisting and moving his steps forward three steps and two steps back, which made Akamatsu Yoshisuke angry, but there was really nothing he could do about them.

After snorting a few words, Akamatsu Yoshiyu's face was covered with cold sweat, such a thing happened just out of the city, he really didn't expect that a group of guys who shouted loudly verbally did the same fucking things.

I just wanted to scream two more times in the hope of boosting morale, but I didn't expect that someone suddenly shouted: "Look, look, it's on fire, it's on fire." The cacophony of voices muffled Akamatsu Yoshisuke's encouragement, and his eyes lit up, and he could see the fire in the west as well. (To be continued......)
