Chapter 105: The Attitude of the Kodera Clan
Relatively speaking, the stability of the weapons in the hands of the Zaga side is very poor, and the aiming is not so good. The most important thing is that the soldiers in the city are protected by the city walls, which is not available to the Zaga people outside the city.
Now they saw that their leader, Suzuki Sato, had fallen to the ground under the enemy's attack, and they didn't dare to stop, and quickly retreated, praying that they could save their lives, knowing that the range of the Kuroda family's long-range soldiers was eighty paces.
Because of the confrontation just now, nearly seventy people fell on the side of the Saga people again, and the Kuroda family side defending the city only fell a dozen people, which is a situation where the opportunities are not equal. The rest of the Saga Iron Gunners also knew this, so they began to retreat.
At this time, Suzuki Shigehide, the eldest son of Dr. Suzuki Sadai, who was supervising the infantry team in the rear, clearly saw everything that had just happened. Seeing how his father died at the hands of Suzuki Shigenari, this uncle didn't spare his father a little, and his father just wanted to kill him. Unfortunately, it was his father who died in the end of this battle.
Shigehide Suzuki shouted at the castle, "Re-become an old thief, as long as I don't die, I will take your life." ”
For Suzuki Shigehide's shouting, Suzuki Shigenari didn't react at all, and it was not so easy to take his own life! The Kuroda family is currently powerful, and he is in the Kuroda family. It's a bit risky to be in Suita Castle this time, but as long as you survive this time, a thousand people under your command will gather here with the Kodera clan. Even if the Saga people now have 2,000 iron gunners, they are not afraid, not to mention that they don't have so many iron cannons, how can Shigehide Suzuki gain his trust?
And what Suzuki Shigehide didn't know was that now the Kuroda family's Matsui Shigetaka army was attacking Kii Province, and it would soon take the old nest of the Saga people, in this case, the Saga people had actually become rootless wanderers? It's even harder to get revenge.
The defeat of the Saga people was unexpected, especially the two of Shimoma Teruren and Shimoma Mayori, who were the leaders, and they couldn't have imagined that even such a powerful Saga people would not be able to help such a small number of people in Suita Castle, especially the two hundred long-distance soldiers.
At this time, the two of them also looked a little poor in donkey skills, so in the end, they could only decide to let the army attack Suita Castle. Assault, if the assault is useful, Honganji does not need to mobilize a follow-up army.
Honganji was reluctant to use a small number of elites, and finally instructed a large number of cultists to go as cannon fodder, in order to consume the materials for the defense of Suita Castle. Shimoma Teruren and Shimoma Mayori were very aware of the attack power of these sectists, and even they themselves didn't expect these people to achieve much.
In the face of such an offensive strength as Honganji, Suita Castle simply didn't even use long-range attacks, and directly engaged in hand-to-hand combat, anyway, his side was the defending side of the city, occupying an absolute terrain advantage, and those who were in the hands of the sect members, some were holding kitchen knives, long sticks, and rakes, and many more were empty-handed. All the defenders need to do is look down for the opportunity to swoop.
After four days of this cage battle, which did not put any pressure on the side of Suita Castle, suddenly a large army appeared in the rear of Suita Castle, which was the 5,500 army led by the Kodera clan, and some of the soldiers were arranged in the rear of Arima-gun as a backup for the 1,000 people close to the Bessho family.
After the army of the Kotana clan came, they did not make any pause at all, and directly attacked the chaotic camp of Honganji, and caught the Honganji side by surprise.
And Suizo Hijikata in the city of Suita Castle opened the gate at the right time and led 200 foot soldiers to kill them, leaving only 200 long-distance soldiers to defend the city.
The Kodera clan was very caring for his soldiers, which he had learned from Kuroda Vocational High School, and in fact, an hour earlier, the army had already arrived behind a small hill behind Suita Castle. Because he knew that Suita Castle was safe and sound, he repaired for an hour before launching an attack on the side of Honganji.
This battle is not insufficient because the Honganji side is not insufficient, and the combat effectiveness is indeed outrageously low, the Honganji side still has 4,000 elite soldiers at that time, and the combat power of the other 30,000 or 40,000 sect members is estimated to be 1,000 elites together.
At the time of the great defeat of the Honganji side, Nikaido Hideka came to ask to see the Kodera clan.
"Koji-sama, how should we deal with these people from the Honganji family!" Hideka Nikaido asked.
"What do Nikaido-sama think we should do?" Kodera asked with a smile.
Nikaido Hideka first bowed to the Kodera clan before he said respectfully: "I think that the number of the other party is too much, in the face of the current situation, whether it is just chasing and killing monks and wealthy clans, samurai and soldiers of the country, those sects can let it go, in fact, they are just ordinary people, and I still need these people to rule Settsu Province after the Kuroda family!" ”
"Spare those congregants, don't you? I already understand what adults mean. ”
"Then you agreed, didn't you?" Hideka Nikaido asked.
"That's not the case, Lord Nikaido, I have only one request for this battle, that is, as long as I can kill it, I will not leave any of them." Kodera gave him a negative answer, and it can be said to be a very surprising answer.
"It's understandable that Lord Koji has always disliked the Pure Land True Sect because of the will of the lord, but if you kill them all, is it a little cruel to do so?"
"Cruelty, isn't it? Adults also know the will of the lord, can you know the lord's true thoughts about the bald asses of the Pure Land True Sect? Kodera clan looked at the crowd in front of him who were constantly being driven and killed, and said with squinted eyes.
"The Lord's thoughts on the Pure Land Shinshu ......"
"Hey! In the mind of the lord, but to completely destroy the Pure Land True Sect! Kodera said after taking a deep breath.
"Destroy the Pure Land True Sect......" Nikaido Hideka said in surprise.
"That's right, it's to completely wipe this pseudo-sect off the map."
"But after all, the Pure Land True Sect has millions of sect members!"
"As long as you believe in the Pure Land True Sect, you will not leave any of them. If you are willing to change your faith, you still have a chance to live. ”
"Oh my God! In this way, hundreds of thousands of people will inevitably be killed, and if such an act will hurt Tianhe, hasn't the lord thought about this? Hideka Nikaido said a little sadly.
