Chapter 23 Chapter 23 Changes in Honnoji Temple

At dusk on May 29th of the tenth year of Tianzheng, Oda Nobunaga came to Honnoji Temple with only fifty personal guards including the Mori Ranmaru brothers. The women and more than 200 guards had already arrived here, but in the afternoon, it began to rain. People cursed the bad weather while anxiously waiting for Nobunaga's arrival. Every time Nobunaga came to Beijing, the princes and ministers would always welcome him to Shanshike early, with red tape and false politeness.Nobunaga has always been extremely annoyed by these formalities. It probably took a lot of time for those red tapes, and the rain may be inevitable.Thinking of this, Mrs. Nong, who arrived at the Honnoji Temple one day earlier and was instructing the women to clean up, was restless.

Nobutada, the eldest son of the third-rank lieutenant general, had led Ieyasu to Myokaku-ji Temple, and Hasegawa Takemaru and Sugihara Shichirozaemon led Ieyasu from Osaka to Sakai Port. Stayed in Miaojue Temple for a long time.Sanchiro Nobutaka sent troops to Sumiyoshi, and was planning to cross the sea to attack Awa. In this way, the Oda brothers have completed the layout of attacking the Chinese region in one go, and only waited for their father Nobunaga to enter Beijing. Therefore, Nobunaga originally wanted to avoid all the formalities as much as possible, and the father and son rushed to the battlefield as soon as possible.However, when I came to the capital to take a look, it was far from as simple as expected.All the ministers and ministers seemed to be afraid of Nobunaga, so they repeatedly made false salutes and continued to show courtesy to Nobunaga.As soon as this one was dismissed with a few words, another even more verbose one came over there.

Originally, it took a lot of time to entertain Jiakang this time, and to deal with some ministers and ministers, the expedition was naturally much later.Mrs. Nong specially followed the women to Honnoji Temple this time, also to help Nobunaga shorten the time to deal with the rituals. As expected, when Nobunaga got out of the wet car and entered the inner hall, he looked very unhappy. "Ah Nong, why are you here too? What are you doing here?" Mrs. Nong smiled and didn't answer, she was just busy getting someone to change Nobunaga's clothes. "I've heard people call you a fool."

"It seems to be, I often hear it too." "Women, after the age of thirty-three, you should retire quietly and enjoy the happiness alone." "But I have the energy of being in my twenties." Indeed, Mrs. Nong looked so remarkably young that it was not even clear how old she was.In the eyes of those who don't know the details, she is in her early thirties at most. Among them, there are not only the public officials who mistake her for the leader of the maid, but also the Wu family who take her for granted as a concubine, but the madam doesn't care. "My lord, since the palace minister's seal is not here, I am here now for the list of officials who will come to greet you tomorrow."

"Who are they? The capital is good, but these red tapes are annoying. Today is the same. A large group of people came to Shanke again, making me restless." "Tomorrow is mainly Konoe-sama, Konoe-sama, and Kujo-sama, Ichi-sama, Nijo-sama, Segoin-sama, Takaji-sama, Kiku-tei-sama, as well as Tokudaiji Temple, Asuka Well, Niwada, Tianjin, and Ganluji Temple. , Xiyuan Temple..." Mrs. Nong continued to count with her fingers, but was interrupted impatiently by Nobunaga: "Enough is enough, you can figure it out." However, Madam still did not have the slightest timidity.After being yelled at by Nobunaga, the other attendants and maids often fell silent and retreated quietly. Because of this, things often become more difficult in the future.

"Even if the adults feel bored again, the people behind should listen to..." As she said, Mrs. Nong continued to read back with the same tone: "After Xiyuan Temple Yaxiang, there are Sanjo Nishi, Kuga, Takakura, and Shui. Muse, Chimei-in Temple, Tingtian Huangmen, Guanshuji Huangmen, Zhengqin Town, Zhongshan, Wujiu, Hirohashi, Fangcheng, Goshin, Takeuchi, Hanayama-in, Wanli Xiaoji, Zhongshan Lieutenant General, Cold Spring, Nishitoin, Shijo, Yin Yang head..." "Understood..." Nobunaga shouted again, "Aren't you treating all the officials in Beijing as bugs!"

"Exactly." The lady replied with a smile, "It's the rainy season, so tomorrow's reception only needs refreshments, and I've ordered the monks to prepare them." "You control too much. Sigh, these idiots who don't know how to fight, flatter me blindly, but cause me trouble." "My lord, don't drink on the way." "I told you not to meddle in your own business, don't say any more!" "Nobutada and Gensaburo from Xijing are coming soon. You haven't had a good meal with Nobutada since we parted ways in Kofu. This time you father and son have to get together."

Nobunaga was stunned, and couldn't help sneering. "Your instructions are really thoughtful. If you are really capable, find a suitable time and send all those annoying bugs back to me." "Yes, I plan to send them back when you are almost done talking." That night, Nobunaga went to bed much earlier than usual.The pattering rain enveloped the Honnoji Temple surrounded by moats, and the figures of the maids outside the tent seemed to be phantoms, appearing hazy. Mrs. Nong has been lying beside her husband, staring at him affectionately and falling asleep quietly.If she doesn't come out... Thinking about it, she felt that the distance between herself and her husband was getting farther and farther.The prominent position of the right minister and the flattery of many officials separated the two abruptly, as if they were going to drag the husband and wife to a place where they could not see each other.Those old retainers must be lonely too... Mrs. Nong saw the former Nobunaga who affectionately called herself Nonghime, and soon she fell asleep.

It was dawn, the first day of June. At si o'clock in the morning, the ministers and monks who were notified yesterday gathered in the guest hall one after another.The sky is still foggy, and it seems to be raining. Nobunaga had expected this a long time ago, and he was not particularly unhappy. He returned the gifts on the spot, then asked the monks to offer tea, and happily talked with everyone about the summer celebrations in the capital.Probably Nobunaga was looking forward to the reunion of father and son in the evening.Of course, on such an occasion full of hypocrisy, Mrs. Nong did not show up.

After the application time in the afternoon, the ministers and monks dispersed one after another.On the surface, they regard Nobunaga as a bold and unrestrained minister of the right, but in their hearts, they regard him as a hypersensitive and suspicious general. Therefore, if someone coldly leaves early, it seems that there is no big deal, but this person is very scared, thinking that Nobunaga will hate him very much and wait for an opportunity to retaliate.Therefore, none of the princes and ministers dared to get up and leave before hearing the exact news that Nobunaga and his son would come to discuss plans together in the evening.

At this moment, Mori Ranmaru's younger brother Fangmaru came. "The third-rank lieutenant general sent someone to ask, saying that he will come soon, I wonder if it is appropriate?" Having said that, everyone stood up wisely.In fact, these were all arranged by Mrs. Nong, but Nobunaga did not show any displeasure. "Oh, you tell the lieutenant general, you can come now." After finishing the order, he sent off to all the ministers with a smile on his face, "After Nobunaga subdues Maoli, I will come to visit you again. How offending." At this moment, the rain had stopped, and a touch of blue sky was slightly exposed on the treetops of the forest in Honnoji Temple. Nobunaga changed his clothes and stood on the high corridor of the guest hall, waiting for his two sons. "This corridor is very old. I think it will break if I use a little force." He deliberately stomped on the decaying wooden boards, and looked up at the carvings on the ancient railings. It's still a pleasure to meet your children.Mrs. Nong thought of this in her heart, and felt lonely again.A woman who has never given birth to a child will never have anything else to rely on except her husband.However, even so, Nobunaga did not know when he had already jumped and reached the sky beyond the sky that she would never touch again. "Ah Nong..." "exist." "Tonight, I'm going to have two drinks with Nobutada and Genzaburo, and you'll fill the bar." "yes." "I'm going to the battlefield tomorrow, so don't be formal tonight, and I have to relax." "You said you don't want to be polite, but do you mean that the concubine can also have a drink?" "Haha, of course you can, of course you can. The servants can also drink whatever they want tonight." "grown ups……" "What, is there something wrong?" "It's not as good as in the city. You father and son, and a woman like me can be informal, but those servants..." "Why, can't you? Hahaha." "Your Excellency, it seems that you are no longer what you used to be. If so, they may develop bad habits in the future." Nobunaga smiled strangely again. "Haha, Anong, you are a woman after all. Are you thinking that if the guards are half drunk and half awake, once someone comes, there will be no one to escort them? Any troops? Stop thinking about it. Of course, if you're drunk, I won't allow fights." He is really different from before!Madam Nong lowered her head and said nothing more. Brothers Nobutada and Genzaburo seem to have calculated each other's arrival time. "Oh, you're here, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Seeing Nobutada, Nobunaga deliberately half-folded the Zhongkai fan halfway, and was greeting Genzaburo and his party who were also walking into the middle door. Lieutenant General Nobutada is twenty-six years old this year, and he is full of energy.And Gensaburo is still a young man who has just tied his hair. He is now ordering more than 3,000 people under the command of Tsuda Matjuro, Tsuda Kanshichi, Oda Kurojiro, etc. to gather at Myokaku Temple and prepare to attack the first line of preparation.At this time, his face was flushed with excitement, and his eyes were shining with excitement. "Ah, Gensaburo is here too, okay, come in quickly." Nobunaga stood up first, and walked to the side of the prepared banquet, "The guests are here, hurry up and light the lights..." Although there was still a glimmer of light outside, it was already pitch black inside.The attendants trotted over, added candlesticks, and served the food and wine that had been prepared long ago. "Nobuchu, have all the ministers and ministers introduced Ieyasu?" "The boy has always kept this matter in mind, and has already introduced it." "Ieyasu is a countryman, is he still so nervous in Miaojue Temple?" "Yes." Then, Nobutada seemed to be recalling something, and smiled wryly, "I suddenly felt that Master Tokugawa is very pitiful." "Oh? Poor?" "Father, think about it. I'm a lieutenant general, but Tokugawa is only a major general." "Ah, that's right..." "Therefore, when I introduced him, the princes and ministers all said in unison: Congratulations to the Lieutenant General. His entourage is extraordinary. When I explained to them that he was not my subordinate, but my father's distinguished guest, they respected him. .” "Hahaha..." Nobunaga couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "Oh? I didn't think of this. The princes and ministers actually regarded Ieyasu as Nobutada's subordinates. Haha, it's just too funny." Ieyasu really deserves sympathy.Due to the pursuit of Nobunaga by the princes and ministers, a gap of identity was drawn between him and Nobunaga. For some reason, this made Nobunaga very happy. The wine glasses were filled with fine wine, and the father and son began to discuss the old affairs of the Koshu Takeda clan.From Bichu's Mori and Hashiba Hideyoshi, and then from Takamatsu Castle to talk about the credit for defeating Imagawa Yoshimoto in Tianlewa, Nobunaga and his son were full of enthusiasm and talked eloquently. "At that time, I was one year older than Nobutada now, twenty-seven years old, right, Anon?" "Yes, he is a brave general who is good at fighting." "I poured the pickled rice into my mouth while I was standing...it seems like I ate three bowls?" "Yes, I ate three bowls in one sitting." Madam Nong seemed to miss that time very much. "Ah Nong, fan!" Nobunaga called out and stood up, "Gen Saburo, watch carefully. A person's life, whether advancing or retreating, must be swift and resolute." Nobunaga looked at his youngest son with a piercing gaze, Then he sang with his hands behind his back. 〖Fifty years of life are like dreams and illusions. As long as there is life, there is death. What regrets for a strong man? 〗 Mrs. Nong knew that he was proud, so she beat a small drum to accompany him.The slightly strange tune of the snare drum and Nobunaga's loud voice echoed in the ancient temple. At about four quarters of the ugly time, when Nobunaga, who was enjoying family fun in Honnoji Temple, was getting more and more drunk, Mitsuhide's army had already passed through the mountains from Hozu to Sagano, and was marching towards the foot of Mount Kinugasa.When they came here, even the miscellaneous soldiers were puzzled.If we were going to China, we should cross Sancao, but the order from above said that the horse's head should go east, from Laoshan to Yamazaki, and then through Setjin.After arriving at Laoshan, instead of turning to the right, it turned to the left.In this way, don't you want to go to the capital? "It's a bit wrong to go this way, we'd better find a leader and ask." "Yes, I also feel strange. If you go this way, you will arrive at the capital in the middle of the night. It will take a lot of detours." However, at this time, the generals issued new orders. "Nobunaga has an order to inspect the army in the capital. Although it takes a long way to go, there is no way. So, let's have a simple meal here first, and get ready for orders." The team disbanded on the spot on Kinugasa Mountain and began to eat the dry food they brought.Nobunaga's military parade sounds like a logical thing, and no one is suspicious. At this time, only one person felt a little strange.This person is not an ordinary person, but Yoshizu Koheita, the retainer of Murai Nagato Shou Chunchang, the governor of Kyoto.Xiao Pingtai was in charge of managing the public land near Guichuan. When he saw this army, he was taken aback: A wise army is going to the capital?He hurriedly borrowed a horse from a nearby farmer's house, rode his horse fast, and arrived at Horihe to report to the gate guard around Haishi. "There is a strange thing. Akechi Hinata's army seems to be heading towards the capital instead of heading west. Is there something unusual?" Hearing what he said, the head guard of Murai, breathing slightly drunk, smiled and said: "Are you kidding! Do you think there will be some bastards who will turn against you now?" After watching Nobunaga's "Drunken Dance" at Honnoji Temple, I came back, "Hinata Mori has received a great gift from Lord Youfu. Even if he came to the capital, he was ordered to see him." There is always some kind of precursor when an incident breaks out. It is this sentence that determines the fate of Nobunaga and his son. At this time, Guangxiu was revealing the sincerity of "drunkards don't want to drink" to the soldiers who had just had a full stomach in the mountains. "I don't offend people, people will offend me. There is no choice but to take the head of Oda Nobunaga and order the world tomorrow. The cavalry will remove their horseshoes. The infantry will each put on new straw sandals. The musketeers will cut the fuses to the same level. Five inches in length, loaded with ammunition. After we are ready, we will cross Guichuan in one breath. The enemy is in Honnoji Temple and Nijo Castle. From now on, the world is my wise and bright. Everyone must fight the enemy bravely and make military exploits. There will be many rewards. Of course, sacrifices are inevitable in war, if there are casualties, rewards will be given to sons, and rewards will be given to relatives if there are no sons. It all depends on you." Samasuke's 3,700 men besieged Honnoji Temple, Jizaemon's 4,000 men attacked Nijo Castle and Myokaku Temple, and Mitsuhide's main force of 3,000 men attacked Sanjo Horikawa.The whole army set off a frenzy that swept across the capital. At this time, Guangxiu took the lead and led the troops to rush forward, but he seemed to be still confused, what exactly was he doing? When he was young, Guangxiu often discussed with others, who could win the world.Influenced by Mrs. Nong's father, Michi Saito, it's not like he hasn't secretly dreamed of being a servant of the day.However, seeing the tragic death of Dosan Rendou, the demise of Asai and Asakura, the demise of General Yoshiaki, and the deaths of Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin, all these gave Mitsuhide a heavy blow.I don't know when, the desire to be a man of the world gradually disappeared. People in the world is by no means a title won by strength alone.Behind this name, there is an invisible force at play.If you ignore the existence of this kind of power and rush for quick success, in the eyes of others, it is tantamount to actively jumping into the abyss of death, like moths to a flame, and self-destruction.There are too many such examples, such as Katsuyori Takeda and Yoshimoto Imakawa. Those who know current affairs are Junjie.After realizing this point, Guangxiu did not seek high officials and high salaries for the three women and four men, but gave them an ordinary status and an peaceful living environment.What a simple father! Among the three daughters, the eldest daughter married Nobusumi, the lord of Amagasaki Castle Oda Seven Heroes, and the second daughter married Tadaka Ichiro, the son-in-law of Tango Governor Hosokawa Fujitaka.The fourteen-year-old eldest son Shibingwei Guangqing stayed in Guishan City because of the cold.The second son, Jujiro, the third son, Shisanlang, as well as the youngest daughter and youngest son, Mitsuhide was quietly arranging "an peaceful life" for them.It was only because of unexpected events that he had to plot against Nobunaga and seize the world. People are really strange... Thinking of this, Guangxiu kept blaming himself in his heart: "Do you understand, Guangxiu, if you can't win the world, you can only be a conspirator, and your wife and children will end up being torn apart." In this way, Guangxiu's three teams arrived in the capital around midnight, to be precise, it was already the second day of June.The army broke through all the wooden doors and entered the streets of the city. Only then did they raise their banners and act according to the predetermined plan. One of the most tense teams was Akechi Zuomasuke Mitsuharu who attacked Nobunaga's Shimoji Honnoji.In the pitch black night, the team arduously walked through the thorny bushes and bamboo forests around the Honnoji Temple, and along the dark trenches, surrounded the Honnoji Temple with water.The first encirclement is the Four Kings Tendan Mamoru, the second is the Murakami and Izumi and Tsumaki Chief Ketou, and the third is the Miyake Shikibu. Because of the urgency of the matter, once the news leaked, Nobunaga's reinforcements unexpectedly reinforced Honnoji, and it would be a bad thing.With such a deployment, even if the reinforcements come, they can be blocked from the Inneng Temple. After Zuomasuke Mitsuharu completed the siege, he immediately sent someone to report to Sanjo Horikawa's General Mitsuhide.When Zuomasuke's report was delivered, Miaojue Temple, Nijo Castle, and the annex guarded by the chief gatekeeper were all surrounded.Moreover, Otsu, Yamashina, Uji, Fushimi, Yodo, Kurama and other places in the outer city also set up two or three hundred ambushes at the entrances and exits-the deployment has been completed. "Okay! Summer dawns early, and the whole army must rush in and take Nobunaga's head before dawn." The order was passed to Zuo Masuke immediately.It was almost Yin time, and the people in the Inneng Temple had just fallen asleep, and there was silence all around. Zuo Masuke gave the order to attack. What are you fighting for?Unknown to most soldiers.The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. If you want to survive, you can only defeat the enemy.Warriors who give up swords and guns every day survive in such a reality. As soon as they hear the military order to charge, they immediately make a loud cry and rush to the front of the wall. Inside the Honnō Temple of about 10,000 ping, there is a lifeless, even creepy.The pungent smell of saponin trees is everywhere, and stars are looming on the treetops. "Kill, go!" shouted the soldiers holding up their swords and spears.The silent and dark night was suddenly awakened by the sound of killing. Nobunaga, who was sleeping, suddenly felt something was wrong, and jumped up.It turned out that after sending Nobutada and Genzaburo back, Nobunaga's spirits remained undiminished, and he exchanged glasses with the women until late at night, until he was as drunk as mud. "Who?" He yelled towards the room next to him, "You guys quarrel when you're drunk, shut up whatever you're arguing about!" When Nobunaga attacked Imagawa Yoshimoto in Tianlewa, Yoshimoto thought that his subordinates were arguing. Tonight, the same scene happened to Nobunaga himself. Mori Ranmaru, Ogawa Aiping, Iikawa Kanmatsu and others in the next room all got up when they heard the sound. "Wait a minute!" Nobunaga shouted again, "It's not a quarrel. Listen... ah, it's soldiers, and they're attacking the temple." He jumped out of the tent, grabbed the naginata, and listened. Listening to the voice outside, "Who is it? Alan, go and see!" "Of order." Mori Ranmaru ran out of the house with a knife in one hand and a lamp in the other.There were indeed quite a few people shouting, but the surroundings were pitch black, and nothing could be seen clearly. "Who is it? Lord Youfu is here, stop quickly, don't be rude!" During the questioning room, from the middle door and corridor on the opposite side, many people have already pressed down viciously. "Who the hell are they?" Ranmaru yelled again, "Miyamatsu, Aiping, come here!" As soon as the words were finished, Iikawa Miyamatsu had come to the bottom of the middle gate wall, and like a squirrel, he climbed up the pine tree in the yard. "Ah, I see, there is a flag. Blue background, bellflower pattern." "Kikyo pattern? So..." Mori Ranmaru was about to return to Nobunaga's bedroom to report. "Ah, it's Mitsuhide." Nobunaga, who was wearing a white silk singlet, was already standing on the steps.He had already replaced the naginata in his hand, this time he was holding a crossbow that could only be drawn by three people and could hold thirteen arrows, and stared at the night vigilantly.Someone untied the arrow box and followed behind with the quiver raised. Due to the darkness of the night, it was unclear whether it was a guard or a maid. "My lord, Mamoru Hinata has plotted a rebellion! It's dangerous here, please take refuge in a safe place as soon as possible, my lord." Mori Ranmaru pushed Nobunaga back vigorously. "Hmph! This bald man..." Nobunaga pulled the bow and shot it out. At the same time, the middle door was knocked down, and the shadows of the enemy appeared in the dark courtyard. "There are soldiers everywhere!" "Someone has rebelled!" The temple suddenly became chaotic like a stabbed hornet's nest.Although the number of soldiers in the temple was less than 300 at this time, including the night watchmen and fire sentries, they were worthy of being the guards carefully selected by Nobunaga, and they were extremely agile in action.In the blink of an eye, some opened the sliding door for cover, raised tatami mats to block arrows, and directed others to run into the yard, forming a human wall around Nobunaga. No one expected the situation to be so urgent, but in an instant, they entered the best defensive state.Nobunaga didn't stop for a moment, and shot four arrows in succession.Every time, the black shadow who slipped into the yard from the middle door raised his head to the sky and screamed, and fell into the darkness.The enemy didn't know who fired the cold arrows, but they gathered together and crushed them like an avalanche. "My lord! Please avoid me, my lord." "Oh." At this moment, Nobunaga shouted at the top of his voice, "Yen Mitsuhide conspired against me and forced Nobunaga. If that's the case, I want to catch him and let everyone watch him harakiri!" "Yes, yes, yes." Although there was a loud response from nearby, Nobunaga turned a deaf ear to it.According to what Mori Ranmaru said, he retreated to the shelter of the house, where he shot and killed the person who approached him while looking around. Mori Ranmaru has already run out to command everyone, and the only ones protecting Nobunaga are Mori Ranmaru's youngest brother, Riki who is only fourteen years old, and the other four or five people.Nobunaga's eyes suddenly fell on one of them. "Ah Nong!" Nobunaga shouted sharply. "exist." "You take the female relatives and retreat quickly." However, Mrs. Nong did not answer.She held the quiver for Nobunaga from the beginning, but Nobunaga never noticed her. "Ah Nong! I want you to take everyone to escape quickly, don't you hear?" "This task, my lord, let others perform it." Nobunaga was speechless.Although he talked about fleeing for his life, he knew in his heart, where could he escape? Mitsuhide rebelled... Nobunaga seemed to be talking to himself, repeating this sentence in his heart.The strange thing is that he was not angry, and even found it so funny that he almost laughed out loud.The scheming bald man, since he is determined to rebel, the arrangements must be watertight, if he wants to escape, it will be impossible. Nobunaga couldn't help laughing.He remembered the events of the day again.It would be fine if I put on airs with the ministers during the day, and if I return the gift unopened, they will definitely think so: Nobunaga is really a cheapskate for not allowing you to taste the so-called luxurious tea party by Master Youfu... The two sides have already launched a scuffle in the temple.Tom Tom Tom!Gunshots came from nowhere. If Ieyasu hadn't come to Beijing, Nobunaga would have spent a whole day at Honno-ji Temple, holding a grand tea party that stunned the ministers. He had already collected a large number of famous tea ceremony utensils...the battle of Beichu would not be so eager to prepare.Speaking of tea parties, if you want to call the tea masters from the tea room in Sakai Port, it will cause trouble for Ieyasu who is currently hosting Sakai Port.Ieyasu must be holding frequent tea parties in Sakai Port with Zongji, Youxian and others... Could this be my end? The sound of clashes of swords and guns has become more and more clear. "I, Nobunaga, is also a ridiculous person..." Nobunaga couldn't help saying it. "What did your lord say?" "Ah, no, I didn't say anything." He was still in the posture of bending his bow and shooting at the enemy, but he was absent-minded, recalling his life scene by scene—— I am a big idiot in Ozhang, and I am a dead-headed person. When others say right, I tend to say left. When others say white, I must say black.Needless to say, the battle between Tianlewa and Nagashino, Mount Hiei, Hokuriku, Nagashima, Kono... Whether it is a monk or a layman, he will be killed.I also built a towering seven-story Azuchi castle tower and a jaw-dropping church; I paraded through the streets with black people over six feet tall;Held unprecedented grand horse races in Antu and Beijing, held tea parties from time to time, and even introduced foreign religions... In short, I will never be satisfied if I don't surprise the world. Even my "doomsday" would shock the whole world!The bald man's trick is too good! Amid the constant shouts of the enemy, the wild natures of pranks, bragging, and broken cans that belonged to the grassroots era revived vigorously in the forty-nine-year-old Nobunaga. Years..." With a premonition and awakening, he began to desperately shoot the arrow of death. "Hugh is rude!" a frantic shout came from nearby.It turned out to be Takahashi Husong. He held up a four-foot-long broadsword and approached the three enemies who climbed up the high corridor step by step. With a whoosh, a sharp arrow flew out of Nobunaga's crossbow.An enemy screamed Yilu and was killed immediately. "Rebel, take your life!" The youngest Mori Maru left Nobunaga and jumped to the edge of the Buddhist hall like a bullet.Ogawa Aihei and Moribomaru, who had been killed just now, were back to back at this time, being forced back by a group of enemies. Nobunaga released the third arrow.Two of the enemy were shot through the chest and fell to the corridor, while the rest retreated out of sight with a bang.Nobunaga is indeed a master who is good at bows and arrows. His sword is not old. His eyes, hands, and feet are all strong weapons. Mrs. Nong quickly handed the arrow to Nobunaga, while looking at her husband coldly.She was counting silently, and nearly 200 of the 300 people had already fallen to the ground. Summer is bright early, and after a while, the east will soon be bright.Madam thought, the rain has stopped, and it seems to be a good weather again.From the Hori River in Sanjo Castle to the ditch of Honnoji Temple, dots of water lilies float on the clear water.If it is reflected by the purple morning glow in the sky, how beautiful it will be!She suddenly had a kind of confidence to win. Among all the relatives of the lady, no one has died in good health.Father, mother, younger brother, and half-brother were all decapitated, and none of them died well.What about myself?Will a person quietly wait for death on the tatami?Anxiety hit the whole body like an electric current, and the madam's heart jumped. When she first married Nobunaga, Mrs. Nong had the idea of ​​killing Nobunaga while he was asleep, but she didn't know when she became an ordinary wife who cared for her husband, and then, she had the idea of ​​being an ordinary wife. Wife's despair.Nobunaga is by no means a wife.He is a greedy and insatiable person.The wife had always been worried that the thread of affection between the two, which was barely maintained, would be broken.But all of this was changed by Guangxiu's unexpected betrayal. Madam understands that Nobunaga has already made up his mind to die.The wily and mischievous Nobunaga is caught in a moment of negligence, and the former Nobunaga is finally resurrected.But now, Nobunaga, who is desperately shooting arrows at the enemy in front of him, is no longer a "man of the world".He understood the truth that he could not escape death after all, but he still couldn't help but want to penetrate the assailant's chest. He became the Master Ji from decades ago.That Master Ji's wife can only be Mrs. Nong.Unexpectedly, Master Ji and Nong Ji would die together... Tom Tom Tom!Gunshots sounded from the front door again, and the aroma of saponins leaves was thick with the smell of gunpowder. At this time, Mori Lanmaru appeared on the financial side of the rain-shading part of the inner hall holding a long spear covered in blood. When he turned around, the long spear had already pierced an enemy's chest.There were seventeen or eighteen figures pressing over from behind. "I'm Mori Maru, traitor, come on!" The childish voice just shouted out.In the blink of an eye, it had turned into a scream of pain.Before killing the enemy, Mori Maru was killed by the enemy. "Avenge my brother! I am Moribo Maru, take my life!" "Don't be brave, Sanemon Yamamoto wants to see you." "Ah—" It was another cry from one of my own people. The bow in Nobunaga's hand was beeping continuously, and his wife desperately handed the arrow to Nobunaga.At this time, Nobunaga seems to have become the bad boy before, and seems to have completely forgotten that he is a second-rank minister.The enemy has launched an attack on the cella.If you want to kill yourself, you must evacuate here——Nobunaga thought so.Mori Ranmaru, Humatsu, Yogoro, and Kohachiro repelled the enemy in front of them again like menacing spirits. Rikimaru, Bomaru, Aipira, and Mataichiro all fell down. "Is Hasegawa Zongren here?" Nobunaga took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "There is no time, hurry up and take the women to escape, hurry up!" "Of order." Just as Hasegawa Zongren agreed, the enemy's shouts sounded again at the entrance of the inner hall. "Zongren, are you still a warrior? Take the women and run for your life. A bald man won't kill women and children." Mrs. Nong couldn't help but thump in her heart when she heard this.Nobunaga, who thought he had turned into a villain, had forgotten everything and only knew how to kill the enemy in front of him.But he had already seen through Guangxiu.No, this is not a calculation, but the keen intuition that Nobunaga, a behemoth, was born with. As soon as Nobunaga finished speaking, fourteen or fifteen shivering women crowded together in the neighboring room rushed out of the room. "Mrs. Nong..." Zong Ren begged, but Mrs. Nong didn't even look at him, and continued to pass the arrow into Nobunaga's hand. "Then. Farewell." The women followed Zong Ren, and rolled down the steps into the yard with a cry of grief. "Ah..." the letter chief yelled, "The bow is broken. Bring the gun!" There was not even a guard around him.Every time the enemy swarmed up, one of them rushed out and knocked the enemy back, and then never came back. "Yes." Mrs. Nong agreed, and immediately ran inside, took the sickle and cross spear and handed it to Nobunaga. Nobunaga brandished the gun in his hand, and suddenly glanced at his wife.I saw that the lady was wearing cross-patterned clothes, with a light blue belt tied around her waist, and a sweat-proof turban like the guards on her head, and a large white-handled naginata hanging from her waist. "Ah Nong, you run for your life too." "No." "Do you want to insult Nobunaga? Nobunaga's end will not rely on the power of a woman." "Ah Nong is not a woman. Also, you are the only one fighting, stop now!" "Fool!" Although the reprimand was harsh, Nobunaga's eyes were smiling, "How could Nobunaga be at your mercy!" At this time, four more silhouette cats rushed over.Nobunaga seemed to finally feel that there was an enemy around him.He will never back down.Jumping out, without blinking his eyes, he shot into the heart of the first person. "Ah!" There was a tragic cry. "Oh, the right general is here! Brothers, the right general is here!" Nobunaga's spear stabbed at the second figure who shouted.At this moment, a young man covered in blood came running. "My lord, fighting alone is more dangerous than good, please kill yourself quickly!" Accompanied by the voice, the man forced the remaining two people out with a knife. Nobunaga took a closer look, and it turned out that the person who came was Mori Ranmaru who was covered in injuries.
