Chapter 192: The Sentinel Battle (I)
Endo Kiemon's visit did not hide the eyeliner of Rokkaku Yoshiken and Yoshiji father and son, and it was actually easy for him to deceive a few eyeliners, but he didn't want to deceive him, just to let Rokkaku Yoshiken and Yoshiji father and son know that he visited Goto Kentoyo and deepen the suspicion between the two parties. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Rokkaku Yoshiken, Yoshiji father and son were very angry, naturally wanted to vent, said something that should not be said, who would have thought that the topic of the inner room quickly came to Goto Kento's ears, Goto Kentoyo heard that Rokkaku Yoshixian, Yoshiji father and son wanted to uproot them.
Goto Kentoyo is desperate and painful, he knows that there are rumors and troubles between Asai Nagamasa and Endo Kiemon, but he does not resent them, since the death of Rokkaku Dingyorigong, Rokkaku Yoshiken has been dissatisfied with these old ministers for a long time since he succeeded to the throne.
Goto Kentoyo knew that if he didn't fight back and struggle, a place like him, who was in Omi and turned his hands into clouds and rain, would be knocked to the ground in the blink of an eye and beheaded all over the house, this kind of thing is not uncommon, and it often happens.
If he takes the initiative to give up power, not only will he not get the forgiveness of Rokkaku Yoshiken and Yoshiji's father and son, but he will hand the handle of the knife to the enemy and stab him in the chest fiercely, not giving him the slightest chance to struggle.
Now the only way to resist is to fight to the end, even if it is to fight for your life. Goto Kentoyo quickly made up his mind, and he wanted to advise the mediocre Minami Omi Province to protect Rokkaku Yoshiken and Yoshiji father and son. He wanted to seize the Guanyin Temple Castle, and then return the Guanyin Temple Castle to them intact after some advice.
Goto Kentoyo thinks that he is the righteous party, and he is trying to persuade Rokkaku Yoshiken and Yoshiji father and son to cheer up.
Captured the Guanyin Temple City, forced the Rokkaku Yoshixian, Yizhi father and son to go to other places, and then negotiated peace with the Rokkaku Yoshixian, Yizhi father and son, and then returned the Guanyin Temple City to the Rokkaku Yoshixian, Yizhi father and son under the mediation and mediation of the ministers, and declared that he was to advise the Rokkaku Yoshixian, Yizhi father and son to cheer up and carry out this operation. He was on the side of justice, and he didn't feel that he would sweep away the prestige of the main family to the ground, and how could the master family who had no reputation still be able to keep this great family inheritance.
Goto Kentoyo summoned his younger brother Chikusa Saemon and his two sons Gao Feng and Gao Ji, and explained his plans one by one, and then said: "Gao Feng and I went to directly admonish, and Saburo Saemon was stationed outside with the people of the headquarters, echoing each other from afar. Xi Saburo, you have a literary talent, a good idea, and I will write a special book about the matter of our direct advice to the righteous and virtuous and righteous rulers, and it is best to reduce us and others by a hundred times, that is to say, with more than ten people to seize the Guanyin Temple City, and then render our justice, understand? As long as it is properly promoted, after this war, not only will our father and son not be blamed, but they will have a great reputation, and if it is operated properly, it is not an exaggeration to be sung as a genius military advisor in the Warring States Period of the Japanese Kingdom. ”
Goto Takaji never thought that his father would have such a ridiculous idea, and wanted him to make a good appearance, but he knew that he could not practice martial arts due to physical reasons, and he could not compare to his eldest brother's ability to write and martial arts, so he could only wave his pen and nodded and agreed.
If it weren't for the final killing of Goto Kentoyo and Gaofeng father and son in history, I am afraid that the reputation of the first military division in the Warring States Period of the Wa Kingdom would not have fallen into the hands of Takenaka Hanbei, Goto Takaji's writing is no different than others, and of course there are eunuchs in this book.
If Goto Kentoyo and his son had known that Miyazawa Heihachi had advanced to Kannonji Temple Castle with his forwards, he would probably not have done such a thing as a happy thing for his relatives and enemies, and Asai Nagamasa would not have sat idly by and lost the opportunity. At the same time, he was afraid that he would not have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters again, and Honda Masanobu's men were about to arrive at Kanesaki Castle in Tsuruga County, and he had no time to take care of anything else.
Goto Kentoyo looked at his younger brother and two sons, took a deep breath, and whispered: "As long as the fire is together, the hall owner will inevitably order all the troops that can be called in the city to fight the fire, and then it will be the time for me to launch a military command." ”
Sensa Saburo Saemon hesitated for a moment before saying, "Brother, in this way, other people will also know the reality of Kannonji Castle, and if Nagata, Mikami, Ikeda, Kondo and Hirai and other powerful people come one after another, it will be very unfavorable for us to take the castle." ”
Goto Kentoyo sneered: "Nagata, Mikami, Ikeda, Kondo and Hirai will not come, they can't wait for a riot in Kannonji Castle, as long as there is a riot in Kannonji Castle, they can come to mediate as mediators, and they can steal the power of the lord's family, which is beneficial to them." ”
The father, son, and brothers were discussing the matter of the war, when they suddenly heard the earth-shattering sound of drums from the direction of Beicheng, which was rapid and violent, and in an instant shattered the silence of the night. Goto Kentoyo and the others stood up in shock, and a trace of surprise flashed in their eyes, what happened in the direction of Beicheng? Why do the patrolmen beat the drum to call the police?
Goto Kentoyo guessed: "Could it be Endo Kiemon?" Damn it, he did such a thing, he forced us to death! "Indeed, now the signs of the Rokkaku father and son's suspicion of Goto Kento's rebellion are very obvious, and at this time, if the news of the mutiny comes out, their death will be approaching.
Goto Takatoyo couldn't help but shout angrily: "Bastard, sudden change, father, whether to suspend our military admonition action, first find out the true idea of the matter, if we are not fully prepared now, now the military admonition, the odds of victory are not very big." ”
Goto Kentoyo shook his head, he knew that he had been calculated, and only Endo Kiemon knew about his desire to war, and now to do such a thing, the only explanation is that someone leaked his details, and glanced at the direction of Beicheng again, and said: "Now the situation is crisis, we are confidential, in addition to me and the other four, there is also Endo Kiemon who knows, his master Asai Nagamasa is young and wants to fish in troubled waters, and now that the matter has started, we are already riding a tiger, once the owner of the hall reacts, our lives are worried?!" ”
Quiet, Goto Kento's words are still buzzing in everyone's ears, yes, once the Hexagon father and son react, the only way to wait for the four of them is to die, even if someone will take the opportunity of their killing to attack the Hexagon father and son in the future, it will not have much effect on them.
People can't be resurrected after death, Goto Kentoyo's words hit everyone's hearts, and Senkusa Saburo Saemon immediately said: "In this case, the matter has been difficult to ride a tiger, and the younger brother is ordered to obey, and the younger brother will lead the people of the headquarters to the north called rescue, which is really to intercept the retreat." ”
Goto Kentoyo watched his younger brother leave, his expression was serious, and he said to his two sons: "Gao Feng, now is the time for our father and son to launch a military admonition, Gao Ji, you must guard the door, and you must not let anyone enter the mansion to harass me and other family members." ”
That night, Rokkaku Yoshixian, Yoshiji father and son still gathered their favorite maids and servants to feast and drink as usual until they were drunk late at night. Lying in the arms of the favored daughter, who knew that the sky was dark outside. Originally, after the abdication of Rokkaku Yoshiken, he gave up Kannonji Castle and lived in Kesaku Castle, but during this time, events such as the burning of Mt. Hiei in Japan's Wish Temple appeared, and the people of Omi were often in turmoil, so he had to temporarily return to Kannonji Castle and wait for the turmoil to end and return to Misaku Castle again.
Suddenly, there was a drum sound outside the city, and the drunken and squinting Rokkaku Yoshixian opened his eyes slightly, muttered a few meaningless words, and closed his eyes again and was about to fall asleep. Someone mutinied! Hurry up. ”
The woman exclaimed, shaking the hexagonal Yixian vigorously: "Rebellion, lord, where is someone rebelling?" ”
Hexagonal Yoshixian opened his eyes suddenly, "Mutiny?!" The man jumped to his feet. He also worked hard, but then he was hit by a series of attacks, and then he indulged in wine, and the most inaudible thing at this time was the mutiny, and yelled: "Take the armor." ”
At the same time, Yoshiharu Rokkaku, who was fourteen years old and had not yet grown up, hurried in in a single dress, without looking at the woman, and reported angrily: "Father, the mastermind is Goto Tajima and Ichiki Shou's father and son, and the defenders of the castle have opened the gate to welcome them in." ”
Rokkaku Yoshiken glared at Rokkaku Yoshiharu angrily, his eyes jumped, and he roared angrily: "Goto Danma, old bastard!" He scolded him twice and was speechless, he did not doubt or get angry, but he was surprised and desperate, and collapsed and almost fell to the ground.
At this time, the rebels seemed to have entered the inner city, and the sound of swords clashing and artifacts being smashed was heard everywhere, but Rokkaku Yoshihyun had no clue at the moment and did not know what to do. He stood still with his spear in hand, and the warriors loyal to him gathered around him, all wounded.
Rokkaku Yoshiji saw that his father was at a loss, he had no idea, he knew that seventy percent of the soldiers and horses in the Guanyin Temple City were controlled by Goto Kento's father and son, and only thirty percent of the men and horses were not enough to hold the inner city, he stepped forward and reminded: "Father, now that we are outnumbered, the rebels have entered the inner city, and the number of this city has been exhausted. With that, he ordered everyone to escort the father and son out of the city.
The rebels entered the inner city, and the Rokkaku father and son were defeated and retreated, and fled to the direction of the northern castle to break out, as long as they escaped to the Koga Mountains, they could gather enough strength to counterattack Kannonji Castle, and the Sasaki clan would not be willing to let the Goto father and son take the lead for the time being.
Rokkaku Yoshiken, Yoshiji father and son were unaware, Goto Kentoyo and others did not go to find out why Kitajo beat drums all night, Goto and others thought that it was Endo Kiemon urging them to mutiny, and Senkusa Saburo Saemon led more than 500 headquarters men and horses to Kitajo and exclaimed in fright.
Miyazawa Heihachi led 3,200 men and horses to the vicinity of the north city of Guanyin Temple City, such a large-scale arrival of people and horses naturally could not be concealed, and the north city of Guanyin Temple City immediately beat the drums, and Sanyun Chengzhi asked in a low voice: "Do you want to attack immediately?" ”
Miyazawa Heihachi shook his head and sneered: "I'll wait for the distance, although the soldiers have rested in Qingdi City for a night, but they still can't take it lightly, although there are more than 1,800 people, they are also invincible with two fists and four hands, so we should build a big array outside the city first and make more preparations for the siege." ”
Sanyun Chengzhi and Qingdi Shigeru repeatedly said yes.
Miyazawa Heihachi smiled, he knew the mentality of Sankumo Chengzhi and Aochi Shigezuna, but he also knew that Kannonji Temple Castle was a big city, although the Omi people rioted and made Kannonji Temple Castle only have more than 2,000 defenders. The method of using soldiers, ten is to encircle, five is to attack, and the multiple is divided, the enemy can fight, the few can escape, and the weak can avoid it.
Once he can't conquer Guanyin Temple City in a short period of time and let Guanyin Temple City counterattack, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to gain a firm foothold outside Guanyin Temple City, or set up a big formation outside the city first.
If Kannonji Castle is not convinced, Miyazawa Heihachi is not afraid of anyone, or he can win and break through Kannonji Castle, and at the same time, he has successfully completed the task of opening the gate to Kannonji Castle, and there is no need to draw snakes anymore, this is the lesson he learned in the Battle of Tsuwano.
Miyazawa Heihachi didn't want to attack the city, it didn't mean that Kannonji Castle would not send troops to come, and before they could set up their camp, Senkusa Saburo Saemon appeared in front of them, and he suddenly appeared in front of them with five hundred people, and both sides were stunned for a moment.
Miyazawa Heihachi and the others couldn't believe that the defenders of Kannonji Castle were so bold that they would go out of the city to meet them when their foothold was not stable, and what Senkusa Saburo Saemon did not expect was that an unknown army appeared in the northern city, and there were quite a few of them.
Miyazawa Heihachi sneered and said to Iwagen Kanbei: "Kanbei, you bring the iron artillery team and let them see the benefits of the Date family's firearms." "In a night battle, in a strange place, he did not dare to attack with all his troops, for fear of falling into the trap of the enemy.
Iwagen Kanbei responded, with more than 100 iron artillery queues moved towards the enemy, at the same time the iron artillery team on both sides of the war drums sounded, the iron artillery team marched forward with the drum beat, after advancing more than 100 steps, divided into three columns and stood waiting for the arrival of the enemy.
Sensa Saburo Saemon was in a dilemma, he didn't see the specific number of enemies in the dark night, and he didn't know where they came from, now was the critical time for his brother to launch a mutiny, such an enemy army suddenly appeared on the side of Kannonji Castle, no one knows whether it was a blessing or a curse.
Seeing that a team of hundreds of people had been separated from the enemy army and beating the war drums to meet them, Chikusa Saemon was a little puzzled by what the situation was, the sound of war drums stopped, the footsteps stopped, and the enemy army was more than a hundred paces ahead of them.
Sensa Saburo Saemon saw that the enemy army despised him so much, and he dared to come to meet him with only a hundred people, he looked at the soldiers and horses behind him, there were more than 500 people, five to one, clenched his fists, he knew that this was the time to make up his mind.
Suddenly, seeing the fire in the city, and knowing that his brother's military advice had been launched, Chikusa Saburo Saemon no longer hesitated, and shouted: "Rush! (To be continued.) )
