Chapter 704: Bad News Again

Hojo Tokimura and Hojo Tokikuni saw the opportunity quickly, and in the evening, they finally led their troops back to Yamauchi Sakaguchi.

Yamauchi Sakaguchi's guards Taira Yoritsuna, Miyauchi Yoriren, and Hojo Tokihiro were shocked when they saw this! There are 50,000 of the most elite Japanese troops at Sakaguchi, but it's only been one day, and only 3,000 people have returned?!

Hojo Tokimura and Hojo Tokikuni were allowed to enter Sakaguchi, and the defenders hurriedly surrounded them to inquire. Ping Laigang and the other three pushed aside the army and asked with a grim face: "Two adults, how is the Sakaguchi of Kerakkuji Temple?" ”

Of course, Hojo Tokimura would not hide them, lowered his head, and said very sadly: "The sakaguchi of Kekurakuji Temple has fallen, and we have to leave at the last moment. ”

The army couldn't help but exclaim, and the faces of Ping Lai Gang and Lai Lian in the palace instantly turned as pale as paper!

Hojo Tokihiro was so angry that he jumped like thunder, his right hand was on the hilt of the knife, he took a step forward, glared at Hojo Tokimura and Hojo Tokikoku, the corners of his eyes were almost bleeding, and he roared: "Fifty thousand! Fifty thousand! Can't you even hold on for a day? You guys have a lot of skills! ”

Of course, Hojo Tokihiro's status in the Hojo clan is not as good as Hojo Tokimura and Hojo Tokikuni, but the two of them can only bow their heads at this time.

The general of the defeated army, how can he speak bravely?!

Ping Lai Gang hurriedly pressed Hojo Shiku's hand and said in a deep voice: "Don't say that, Lord Zonglai's Chima Pass was also lost, it can be seen that Cheng Yue's troops are strong, and the two adults cannot be blamed." ”

Heira Yoritsuna's composure calmed down Hojo's hot mind a little, slowly let go of the handle of the knife, and asked in a low voice, "Sorry, it was too gaffe just now." Two adults, are there only 50,000 people left? ”

Hojo Tokikoku: "Yes, there are only 3,000 people, and the others should not be able to come back." ”

Ping Laigang frowned, and said, "There is no way to deal with the weapons of the Song army?" Aren't all the tricks we thought of working before? ”

Hojo Tokikoku shook his head and sighed: "Probably because we are incompetent, we really haven't found a good way." However, those weapons are all firearms, maybe it will be possible to attack them with water, and if we can wait until it rains, maybe there will be a turnaround. ”

Ping Laigang looked up at the sky, only to see that the sky was blue, and the clouds were so thin that they were almost transparent.

Ping Laigang sighed and said, "Let's think of another way." ”

Hojo Tokimura suddenly asked, "Did the people from the small bag Sakaguchi and the fake makeup Sakaguchi come back?" ”

Miyuchi Lai Lian said: "They all sent people to ask for help, but they haven't seen them since." ”

Hojo Tokimura's face was frightened, and he asked, "Then why don't you go and inquire about the news?" ”

Ping Laigang also realized that he had made a mistake, and hurriedly sent a few people Pegasus to investigate.

Tokihiro Hojo asked, "What should we do if something happens to both the pouch Sakaguchi and the fake makeup Sakaguchi?" ”

Hojo Tokikokudo: "Today the enemy may not have time to attack here, and if you want to fight, it will most likely be tomorrow." We need to find a way to strengthen our defense right away and prepare more rocks and logs. ”

Hojo Tokihiro and Miyauchi Yoriren immediately agreed: "Okay, let's do it." He immediately turned away.

Ping Lai Gang said: "The two adults will go back and report to the ruling lord first, and leave it to us here." ”

Hojo Tokimura and Hojo Tokikuni nodded gloomily, leaving all the 3,000 elite soldiers they had with them to Taira Yoritsuna, and told Hiraitsuna in detail about their resistance before returning to Yamanuchi Hall at night.

In the Sagamishu Shochu, the people of the Hojo clan had quietly walked more than half of the way under the leadership of Hojo Soyori, and most of the gold and silver were transported to the Kasai Valley, leaving only the necessary people to guard the left and right.

When Hojo Tokimura and Hojo Tokikoku walked into the Yamanuchi Temple, Hojo Tokimune said goodbye to his mother Ryoko, Zhuzi and Yoshiko for a while, and Bizen Taiyo and Echigo Sontaro sat next to them.

After Ryoko finished talking to Hojo Tokimune, she got up and was about to leave the Yamanuchi Hall with Zhuzi, Yoshiko, Sadatoki, and Shitoki, when she suddenly saw Hojo Tokimura and Hojo Tokikuni, who were supposed to be guarding the Sakaguchi of Kekurakji Temple, walk in dejectedly, and couldn't help but weaken their legs, and sat back on the tatami mat, looking at the two of them with a look of horror.

Tokimune Hojo was also shocked. The return of Hojo Tokimura and Hojo Tokikuni at this time can only prove one thing, that is, Keokrakuji Sakaguchi has been lost!

Hojo Tokimura and Hojo Tokikuni lowered their heads, knelt in front of Hojo Tokimune, and said, "We failed to defend the Sakakou of Kek Lok Temple, so we have come to receive death!" ”

Although they were prepared, everyone was still stunned by the news!

Ryoko was so angry that her hands trembled, her whole body was weak, she paused, and reluctantly said, "Did 50,000 people only keep it for one day?" This is the samurai of Kamakura? Is this the descendant of the Hojo family? ”

Hojo Tokimura and Hojo Tokimura were ashamed and landless, bowing their heads and saying nothing.

Hojo Tokimune was very calm and comforted: "Mother, you can't blame them all, they have done their best. ”

Ryoko said angrily: "Nonsense! The little bag Sakaguchi and the fake makeup Sakaguchi are still fighting, but they have fled back, is this also called doing their best? When did you become so talkative? ”

Hojo Tokimune said slowly: "I asked them to come back when necessary, they must have experienced a hard battle today, and they can't be harsh." ”

Ryoko saw that Hojo Shizong defended them, and it was not good to be angry again, so she had to sigh, hold the Buddha beads in her hand, and did not speak again.

Hojo Tokimune looked at Hojo Tokimura and Hojo Tokikoku with sharp eyes, and said word by word: "We...... Isn't it a complete opponent of the Song and Mongols? ”

Hojo Tokimura slowly raised his head and replied to him word by word: "Unless you find a way to restrain your opponent's weapons, you will be defeated!" ”

Hojo Tokimune and Hojo Tokimura looked at each other for a long time, and the sharp energy on their bodies gradually dissipated, and finally let out a long sigh and said, "You all think so, I ...... Alas. ”

Hojo Tokimune has never shown such a helpless side, Kamakura is gone, and there is no doubt in everyone's heart!

Hojo Tokikoku: "Please return to Kasai Valley as soon as possible, this place will soon become a battlefield." ”

Before Ryoko could answer, she suddenly heard the sound of running outside with a "dong dong", and a royal insider rushed over, kneeling in front of Hojo Shizong in a sweat, and said eagerly: "Lord Ruling Quan, I just found out the news that the 30,000 people in Kobukuro Sakaguchi were all wiped out, and Lord Shifang and Lord Xianshi were all killed in battle!" ”

"What ——?!"

"Shifang and Xianshi died in battle?!"

Unlike everyone's panic, Hojo Tokimune was quite calm, and said in a deep voice: "Report in detail." ”

"Yes." The royal insider who reported the news told the news he had heard one by one, which was not very detailed, but it was generally clear.

After listening to this, Hojo Shizong actually smiled and said, "In this way, it is still too reluctant for us Japan to challenge the Song and Yuan dynasties alone?" (To be continued.) )
