In the afternoon, Zhengheng stood on the top of the Golden Mountain, quietly watching the army of Nizi surging into the Tianshen Mountain City like the waves of the sea, tens of thousands of troops poured into the various cities of the Tianshen Mountain City, burning and looting, the defenders of the Tianshen Mountain City swirled up and whirled, they could not resist it for a long time, and a momentum declined, only the outside of the Tianshu Pavilion was a little calm, and the other places were all fighting, or it should be said that they were slaughtering, and the desperate defenders shouted the words of the Buddha's blessing and goodbye to the underworld, forgetting their lives and deaths, and rushing to the enemy in front of them.
In the city of Tianshen Mountain, the corpses of the Nizi army and the defenders are spread all over the ground, and the corpses are really all over the field, and the blood is flowing like a river, which is unbearable, and the Nizi army often has to pay two lives to kill a defender soldier, which is the casualty ratio of the attacking and defending sides. The Nizi army had already fought out of the fire, and even the defenders who wanted to surrender did not give the other party an excuse to live, and stepped forward with a knife, forcing the desperate defenders to burst out of the horn of death under the begging and hopelessness.
The battle was once fierce, and in the past, once the battle situation fell into a desperate situation, one side would often take the lead in retreating, and it was rare in the world to fall into a life-and-death situation like today. Zheng Heng stood at the top of Jinzi Mountain, his expression was indifferent, but a cold air surged in his heart for no reason, this battle and killing that should not have happened can be said to be directed by him.
For Zhengheng, who is not yet twenty years old, the cruelty of the joint battle has been deeply seared into his bone marrow, counting from the day of the return of Meichuan Academy, there have been more than 20 joint battles of all sizes, and almost every day is spent in the war, and life and death are already commonplace for him. But I saw the fierce battle of the Heavenly God Mountain City. Let Zhengheng, who had been calmly watching the battle, also close his eyes, and then open his eyes again. Standing calmly on the top of the hill, motionless and observing the arrival of the opportunity.
Zhengheng clearly knew that this battle and killing that should not have happened was a manifestation of maximizing the interests of the Date family, and it was also the greatest mercy for the people. If a counteroffensive is launched yesterday, it will certainly win for a while, but in the long run, it will not be a good thing for the people of the Kibi area, the Date family is unwilling to withdraw from Bizen Province, and Urakami Munekei is also unwilling to live in a corner, and there will inevitably be a protracted war after the war. Now once and for all, the Nizi Army and Urakami Sokei and others will be wiped out. With the disappearance of the superstructure, the Date family will increase its control over the Bizen country, and a series of policies that benefit the country and the people will be implemented smoothly.
After the war, no matter what excuse was used to explain the dishonorable role played by Zheng Heng in the joint war, it was difficult to wash away his title of conspirator, and it was clear that Zheng Heng did not try much to avoid this kind of title, for him. Losing the subsection can be exchanged for the long-term peace and stability of the people, so why not.
When he defeated Shinmi Sadatsune, Zhengheng's goal was only to survive, but since he captured Hecheng and ascended to the sky to dominate China, his mind was no longer as superficial as it was back then, and he thought about how to end the troubled times like many people with lofty ideals. The balance is clear. If the troubled times continue, everyone will be in danger. The people will not be able to endure the fate of being killed and injured forever, and one day, they will join forces with the ronin to start a riot. and overthrow the rulers who were pressed upon them.
In order to make the people understand who is good for them, Zhengheng implemented a series of reforms. Some of the reforms were obviously very forward-looking, and some of them were unusually old-fashioned, or they could be said to be chaotic, but to the common people, he could be called a virtuous lord, otherwise there would not be so many people willing to follow him in the north and south.
For the sake of the people, Zheng Heng looked at the cruel battle situation in the direction of Tianshen Mountain City, and thought silently in his heart. Ambitious people, "for the people" always have a sense of righteousness, and Zhengheng is no exception, but he is more action-oriented. In any case, after the war, some people will criticize the countermeasures of political balance, so only the maximization of interests is the most important thing for him to do. The director's joint battle, which should have ended, is obviously more in his interests.
Thinking of this, Zheng Heng's expression was a little lighter, yes, for everyone, as long as they find a reason to do everything, they will feel relaxed, and the ups and downs in their hearts will disappear. In short, when he found a reason to figure out the truth, Zhengheng regained his former composure.
Yoshida Masanari, who was observing in front, suddenly felt that hundreds of cavalrymen in gorgeous armor came out from the direction of Guanyin Mountain, surrounding a young man galloping in the direction of Saeki, and hurriedly ran towards Jinzi Mountain, climbed in front of Zhengheng, and reported: "Your Highness, more than 100 horsemen in the direction of Guanyin Mountain are coming towards Saeki, including Nizi Yoshihisa, as well as the main generals of the Nizi Army. ”
Zhengheng's eyes narrowed, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, laughed, and shouted: "Self-dragging? Let's get ready, as soon as the enemy enters the Saeki Gorge, we will raise our banner and surround them, and the victory will be in one fell swoop. ”
The generals of the Date family also laughed one after another, originally the two families were played by the Date family and fought endlessly between applause, which had already made everyone excited, but now seeing that the Tenjin Mountain City was about to be broken, Niko Yoshihisa actually took the risk in person and led the main generals to come to see, this is not death, and they all rubbed their hands.
Niko Yoshihisa obviously didn't know that Saeki Yuan's person was not his father Niko Haruhisa, and the destruction of Tenjin Mountain Castle was imminent, and Niko Yoshihisa finally couldn't bear the idea of wanting to show off in front of his father, especially under the advice of Otsuka and Sanemon, and everyone's echo, he set off to Saeki Yuan to see Niko Haruhisa. Everyone's thoughts are similar to Nizi Yoshihisa, all of them want to show their way in front of Nizi Haruhisa, especially at the moment when the Tianshen Mountain City is about to be broken, if you wait until the Tianshen Mountain City is broken, I am afraid that you will lose the best opportunity to publicize your military exploits in front of Nizi Haruhisa.
The public anger is difficult to violate the public opinion, and for the first time, Uyama Hisashi did not disagree in front of Nizi Yoshihisa, which made Nizi Yoshihisa feel comfortable, so he used this as an excuse to refute Uyama Kukane, and ordered him to stay in Guanyin Mountain and preside over the change of the war situation.
When they went to Saeki to see Nizi Haruhisa, of course, it was impossible to go in a mighty way, and they couldn't let the soldiers of Saeki Yuan's Nizi Army look down on them, so they each rode on their war horses and put on gorgeous armor and galloped towards Saeki Yuan himself, trying to show the honor of a samurai along the way.
Uyama Kukan, who stayed behind in Guanyin Mountain, was indignant, and just sat down, Yasaburo, the leader of the Luxia Group, stumbled in, ignoring Uyama Kukan's rhetorical question, and shouted urgently: "Defeated, defeated, the lord of the country is defeated and captured, hurry, hurry, go stop the young master." ”
Uyama Kukan stood up and asked, "Yazaburo, what nonsense are you talking about, that, that ......" He pointed in the direction of Saeki Yuan, and wanted to say that it was not the army of Niko Haruhisa, but the latter sentence could not be continued, and the big banner on Saeki fell down in an instant, and then a flag with the family crest of the bamboo two feathers flying sparrow was raised, fluttering in the wind.
The situation took a turn for the worse, as if he had fallen from heaven to hell, and standing on Mount Kannon, Uyama Kukane looked at the enemy who had pushed him into hell. A neat and solemn team suddenly appeared on Saeki Ridge, and they had surrounded the Nizi Yoshihisa who had thrown themselves into the net.
Yazaburo sat down on the ground with an "ah", he obviously knew what the fate of the waiting Lushita Group would be, no matter how great the military achievements were back then, and no matter how hard it was all these years, but this time the delay in intelligence will be greatly affected after the war.
Uyama Hisakane's heart also sank into the abyss, whether it was the defeat and capture of Niko Harumu, or the self-throwing of Niko Yoshihisa, or the 13,400 soldiers of the Niko Army trapped in the Tenjin Mountain Castle, this great gift from his son-in-law Date Masahiro was really ruthless.
Date Masaki's knife, Uyama Hisashi hated it so much, but there was no way, and now it was difficult to withdraw from the Tenjin Mountain Castle, and it was equally difficult to rescue Niko Haruma or Niko Yoshihisa.
Uyama Kukan gritted his teeth tightly, unable to say half a sentence, the strength of the Date army made him feel frightened, Date Masaki's layout and resourcefulness also made him feel terrifying, a series of conspiracies have his shadow behind him, after taking a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, he said: "The defeat of this joint battle has been decided, the lord and the young master must be rescued, and the captured soldiers must also be rescued, otherwise the country will not be a country?" Yazaburo, you immediately gather the members of the Lushita group and hide in the shadows, waiting for my orders to act. ”
Yazaburo knew that only by attributing the credit could he offset the sin of delaying the information, he hurriedly responded, "Yes, what about you?" ”
Uyama Hisakane's face was gloomy, and he said: "I, I personally went to see Date Masahiro, begged Date Masahiro to make peace, and discussed with him the ransom of the lord and the young master, as well as the matter of a prisoner, I think that with my identity, he should meet the last one." ”
The situation took a turn for the worse, and Uyama Kukan thought about thinking about the future with his old face, and Niko Yoshihisa was also in a desperate situation. When Nizi Yoshihisa led more than 100 horsemen to gallop into the front of Saeki, suddenly a gong and drum sounded, and two or three thousand Date soldiers rushed out with swords and guns, and the tips of their guns pointed directly at the enemy cavalry.
Nizi Yoshihisa screamed in horror, and the cavalry around him also looked at the soldiers of the Date Army who surrounded him in disbelief, and looked at the flat four-eyed flag that fell from the top of the mountain, and replaced it with the Bamboo Two Feather Flying Bird Flag, where I don't know that they have all been deceived.
Zhengheng looked at Nizi Yoshihisa and his entourage, who were surrounded by groups, and immediately ordered: "Hurry up and finish, we want to catch them alive." At this moment, the Date army pointed the tip of his spear at the panicked hundred horsemen, and under the encirclement of two or three thousand infantry, he had lost the possibility of breaking through, and soon gave up resistance, and was pulled off his horse and tied up.
