The archers at the top of the city subconsciously obeyed the orders of the family governor, and showers of arrows covered Yiyin within ten steps, making it impossible for him to dodge.
When Yiyin saw the arrows coming from the wall, he felt like shit in his heart.
He just came to show off and give Pu Shengxianxiu a reason to defect. The long-awaited surrender of Kaesong didn't come, but was instead greeted by a series of arrows. What's going on?
Yoshigan also regretted that he had scolded him too harshly, and Rokkaku Yoshiharu had obviously lost his mind. Keep a line in your life so that we can meet again in the future. I overdid it, and it actually made me jump over the wall.
But at this time, it was too late to regret. Yiyin could only pretend to be calm and turn on the killing mode. In killing mode, he will not take fatal damage, but he will still be injured.
But now he has no other choice but to say silently in his heart, the system loves me.
On the surface, he showed off his superb acting skills, pointing at the wall and laughing, without fear, looking up at the rain of arrows and drinking wine.
There was a burst of exclamation from behind. I guess it was Zhu Ji in his formation who was frightened, right? I will definitely be blamed to death by the Pu Sheng clan when I go back.
Yiyin stopped thinking about it and decided to get over the hurdle in front of him first.
In everyone's eyes, the young man below the city was about to die, and the tears of his admirers had already overflowed from their eyes, blurring their vision.
At this moment, a sudden gust of wind blew away all the arrows shot from the wall.
Not a single arrow hurt Yiyin, and even the imperial white flag behind him and the war horses around him were unscathed, like a miracle.
Rokkaku Yoshiji at the top of the city was so frightened that he muttered and repeated.
"What's going on? It's impossible, it can't be possible."
she shouted hysterically.
"Keep shooting! Who told you to stop? Keep shooting!"
All the bows and arrows were hesitant in their eyes, looking left and right, but no one dared to make the first move. Facing this sudden gust of wind, everyone had only one thought in their minds, the one blessed by God?
Kamo Kenshu was so frightened that his heart almost stopped. He finally got through this, so how could he let Rokkaku Yoshiharu do anything wrong again?
she exclaimed loudly.
"Could it be that Mother Hachiman appeared? Is the imperial palace protected by the great Bodhisattva Hachiman?"
Yoshigan's royal white flag comes from Kamakura Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine. It was the sacred object of Hachiman Tainiang and the first royal white flag of Kawachi Genji.
This news had been deliberately released by Yiyin a long time ago and spread widely.
Now faced with a miracle that cannot be explained by common sense, and with Pu Shengxianxiu's shouting, the archers at the top of the city were even more afraid to release their arrows.
Rokkaku Yoshiharu became furious and cursed.
"Bagya Road! Nonsense!"
She glanced at the bows and arrows, everyone avoided her gaze, put down their bows and bowed their heads and said nothing.
Rokkaku Yoshiharu felt vaguely that he had been abandoned by everyone, and fear broke through his heart. Her breathing was heavy, like a bellows blowing.
Gritting her teeth, she drew her sword, pointed it at the iron cannon ashigaru beside her, and shouted.
"ignition!"
Rokkaku Yoshihide was also disheartened when she saw that the army was demoralized and just wanted to run away quickly, she advised.
"Yiji, put down the knife and let's think of other ways."
The Tiepao Ashigaru was still hesitating, but Rokkaku Yoshiji slashed one of them with his sword. She threatened the three Tiepao Ashigaru in front of her with her blood-stained sword and shouted.
"I said, light the fire!"
Ashigaru are not Hime samurai. They are more afraid of the majesty of the family governor, trembling and preparing to shoot.
Kenhide Kamano was shocked and wanted to step forward to stop him, but Rokkaku Yoshiji pointed a knife at him.
"Back off! Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless with my sword!"
Rokkaku Yiji didn't care about anything now, there was only one voice in her head. Kill him, kill the evil boy in the city.
The iron cannon in Ashigaru's hand has been fully prepared before the battle. The gunpowder and lead bullets have been put in. All he needs to do is to pull the match rope, aim and light it. Therefore, the Teppanyaki Ashigaru moves extremely quickly.
When Pu Shengxianxiu saw the iron cannon, he was about to fire it, fearing that Siba Yiyin would be shot. This hexagonal loyal minister could no longer pretend, she shouted loudly.
"Rokkaku Yoshihiro is unfaithful and unjust, and he attempts to harm the direct descendants of the Genji family in Kawachi! Luo Nai, who is on the imperial platform, is what the martial arts in the world hope for, how can he be violated!
Zhu Ji! Let me rebel! "
The Ji warriors of the Kamao family responded one after another, those who drew their swords and those who opened the door.
Other samurai families also had no fighting spirit and were unwilling to fight with the Hamo family's Hime warriors. They either watched with indifference or participated in the rebellion.
Only a few loyal Rokkaku family members stepped forward and fought against the rebellious Hime warriors. Seeing the commotion at the top of the city, the city is about to change hands.
Liu Jiao Yixian cursed with his eyes wide open and his eyes wide open with anger.
"Xianxiu Pu Sheng! What are you going to do!"
Pu Shengxianxiu shouted.
"Execute the traitors of the country for the sake of righteousness! Open the city gate to welcome the Imperial Palace!"
She rushed forward, trying to stop the Tiepao Ashigaru's shooting. But Rokkaku Yoshiji stood in front of her and forced her back with a slash of his knife.
Pu Shengxianxiu had no choice but to dodge and missed the last chance.
The three iron cannon ashigaru were not members of Kenhide Kamao. Although they panicked, when no one gave orders, they still aimed at Shiba Yoshigan under the city until the moment the gunpowder was ignited.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Ashigaru's shooting was not successful, and the three iron cannons exploded at the same time.
The three ashigaru who were injured by the explosion were rolling on the ground in pain and yelling.
"God's punishment! God's punishment!"
Rokkaku Yoshiji's face froze, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble, as if his energy had been drained away.
Xianxiu Hamao was also frightened. He looked at Shiba Yiyin who was drinking and watching the commotion on the wall indifferently. He was speechless.
The commotion at the top of the city froze for a moment. Everyone looked at the handsome young man who was leisurely and contentedly below the city. The remaining resistance of the Rokkaku family finally collapsed.
Rokkaku Yoshiken pulled the stunned Rokkaku Yoshiharu, looked at Kamao Kenhide and said sincerely.
"Bama Shengji, we don't want Guanyin Temple City anymore. For the sake of the Lord, can you give us a way out?"
Pu Shengxianxiu glanced at Rokkaku Yixian Yizhi's mother and daughter, and couldn't bear to see them frightened like bereaved dogs.
The Rokkaku family, the direct descendant of the famous Sasaki family that has been in Omi country for thousands of years and has dominated Minami Omi for hundreds of years, has finally fallen. As an important minister of Rokkaku, Pu Shengxianxiu always has a trace of compassion.
she said softly.
"After a stick of incense, I will open the city gate to welcome the imperial palace."
Rokkaku Yixian nodded and said.
"Kamohime, thank you."
After saying that, she pulled Rokkaku Yoshiji and turned around to leave. Time was running out and they had to run away quickly.
The Rokkaku family has been running Kannonji Castle for many years. The shogunate has attacked Minami Omi several times, and the Rokkaku family governor has run away after failing to defeat him, not just once or twice.
According to Rokkaku Yoshiken, if you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood. The Rokkaku family has deep roots in Minami Omi. As long as they escape this disaster, there will always be a chance to make a comeback in the future.
As for the place to stay, of course it would be to run into the mountains of Koka County. Every time when the shogunate came and the Rokkaku family governor was defeated, he would go to Koka County to take refuge. Only then did he acquiesce to the prefectural autonomy privileges of the Koka Twenty-one Family.
Ishibe Castle in the southwest mountains was the back-up that Rokkaku Yoshiken had prepared.
Rokkaku Yoshiharu insisted on joining forces with the Miyoshi family to stop the Shangluo coalition forces. Calculating defeat before calculating victory, Rokkaku Yoshihide has long been prepared to lose.
I just didn’t expect that the Rokkaku family would lose so quickly and so miserably.
With the fall of Minami Omi, Rokkaku Yoshihide no longer dared to block the passage to Shangluo. Ishibe Castle avoided the main road, but it was able to command a high position in the mountains, faintly threatening the plains west of Minami Omi.
This is the back-up plan that Rokkaku Yoshixian had planned, to retreat to the mountain city and sit back and watch what happens.
Looking at the mother and daughter of Rokkaku who were in a state of embarrassment and running away, Pu Shengxianxiu remained silent. She glanced at the young man sitting under the city again, feeling an indescribable feeling in her heart.
The scene of a loyal minister turning his side for justice was performed well, but the process was a bit unexpected.
Is Shiba Yoshigami really protected by the God of Hachiman? The rain of arrows was blown away by the strong wind, and the iron cannon exploded on its own. How could there be so many coincidences in the world?
Is this the fate of the chosen one?
———
There were twists and turns at the head of Guanyin Temple, but in the eyes of the attacking army, everything happened too fast.
The leading high-level martial arts family has not yet discussed how to rescue the Imperial Palace. The city gate has been opened wide, and the six-cornered retainers headed by Pu Shengxianxiu kowtow to the ground, begging the imperial palace for forgiveness.
Yiyin burped and frowned. This wine was so bad that it tasted bitter even when I burped, and it was so astringent that my tongue felt uncomfortable.
He was still complaining in his heart, but in front of him was the Rokkaku retainer who was already kneeling on the ground. The leader, Pu Shengxianxiu, asked with his eyes, and he nodded slightly.
The scene between the two of them was finally over.
At this moment, there was thundering hooves behind them, and a group of Ji warriors rushed forward on horseback.
Regardless of their inferiority or inferiority, the villagers of Pu Sheng rushed to the front. She dismounted her horse so quickly that she almost fell off her horse. She crawled up to Yiyin and kowtowed.
"Odaisuo! My Odaisuo!
I beg you, please don’t do such risky things next time, it really scares me to death!
If there is a next time, please allow me to commit seppuku first, and after you excuse me, you can do whatever you want! "
Pu Sheng's hometown burst into tears in front of Yiyin, which made Yiyin embarrassed for a while, and he said sarcastically.
"Ujigo, your mother is here, please be decent."
Kamaojigo glared at his mother with a somewhat scary look. She is still frightened now, and even her mother, who pretends to be stubborn and resists, is also hated.
Pu Shengxianxiu smiled bitterly and shook his head. This daughter who was serving as an official was focused entirely on her master, and she, as an old woman, was a prank.
Shiba Yiyin looked helpless, Hamo Kenxiu was jealous and sour, and the Ji warriors who just rode over behind him were also speechless.
Kamo clan's panic was perfect, and he accused Odaisuo of being almost arrogant. It can be said that he loves deeply and blames deeply.
No matter how much others want to express their concern for the Imperial Palace, it will look like they are trying to imitate others.
You can't criticize the imperial office one by one, right? But a few gentle words of advice are not as sincere and sincere as those from Pu Sheng's hometown.
Yamanaka Yukimori curled his lips and refused to comment, while Maeda Toshiie smiled and said nothing.
Todo Toragao glared at his daughter, as if to say, learn from others, this is a good martial artist who knows how to make progress. Daughter Todo Takatora touched his head and had nothing to say.
Tokugawa Ieyasu looked at the towering city walls, took the role of Shiba Yoshiin, felt the oppression under the threat of arrow rain and iron cannons, and couldn't help but tremble in fear.
She looked at the calm-looking Shiba Yiyin with admiration. This is the Godaisho who upholds righteousness and faces adversity. He is worthy of the name of being unparalleled in the world.
Tokugawa Ieyasu's eyes were filled with admiration, but Asai Nagamasa felt a little distressed.
Asai Nagamasa knew why Shiba Yoshigan took the risk. He wanted to maintain his majesty as a leader, but was unwilling to create conflicts within the coalition, so he chose to ride alone.
In her opinion, the surrender of Kaicheng was an accident, but the courage of Yutai's spearhead was undisputed, and he was worthy of it.
Asai Nagamasa felt admiration in his heart, but suddenly the tearful look of Ichijun appeared in front of his eyes, and he sighed sadly, he was not qualified to say anything about admiration.
Oda Nobunaga had a stiff face, and she was the most shocked person in the audience. Sibo Yiyin used his actions to tell everyone that justice is powerful.
This was a hard slap to Oda Nobunaga's face, and it made her even more alert. Righteousness is in people's hearts, and Si Bo's righteousness wins people's hearts. He is the embodiment of the Wu family's righteousness.
Before you are completely sure, you still have to be more restrained in your attitude towards him. Now he is not the orphan of a famous family in Owari, who can be left to his own devices. .
Oda Nobunaga looked at the young man in front of him, feeling a sense of fear in his heart.
What would he do if he was really shot to death at the foot of Guanyin Temple because of a dispute with him? I will definitely kill everyone in Guanyin Temple City to avenge him!
But even if he kills more people to vent his anger, he will not come back to life after death. Will he regret it? Will it hurt?
Oda Nobunaga sighed, unwilling to take the risk of losing him and getting angry with him again, he stepped forward and said.
"Oda Nobunaga is convinced by Lord Kenshin's bravery and righteousness."
Yoshigami looked at Oda Nobunaga's solemn low posture with suspicion, what's going on with this guy? She surrendered so readily this time. Doesn't it look like she wants to save face?
He was confused in his heart, but on his face, Yiyin still smiled.
"Your Majesty Oda, do you think justice is useful now?"
Oda Nobunaga bowed.
"Humility and trust in justice are useful."
Seeing that she was really subdued, Yiyin didn't want to provoke her anymore, so he smiled and comforted her.
"It's my fault for criticizing His Highness Oda too harshly.
The road to Luo is difficult, so please don't mind it and join me in avenging General Ashikaga. "
Yoshigan stretched out his hand, Oda Nobunaga took it with a smile, pulled him up from the ground, and said.
"I don't dare to ask for my ears, but I just want to do it."
Yiyin stood up and stretched, then threw the wine bottle to the Kamao clan and said.
"Ask whose wine it is, it's really awful. Give her a jug of good wine to try, and think of it as compensation for drinking his wine."
Ashikaga Yoshiaki on the side was jealous as he watched Yoshihiro Shiba speak and act freely and freely, like the sun surrounded by stars, he was admired by all the Hime warriors.
Thinking of the strange strong wind, she was also suspicious, looking at the imperial white flag behind Yiyin, thinking in her heart.
Could it be that Hachiman Taimu really appeared?
———
Kenhide Kamao surrendered, and she finally turned to Oda Nobunaga, who promised many benefits, which made Oda Nobunaga very proud.
What happened at the top of Guanyin Temple became more and more sinister as time passed among the army. The concubines looked at Shiba Yiyin with more and more awe.
The rain of arrows covering him was swept away by the strong wind, and the cannons aimed at him all exploded. The probability of such accidents happening continuously is probably lower than being choked to death by drinking water, right?
According to rumors, Hachiman Tainiang's royal white flag has become a sacred object that guides victory. The battle of Shangluo went so smoothly, all because of Yubaiqi.
This rumor made Oda Nobunaga furious. She covered up Asai Nagamasa's hard work and highlighted her own achievements in order to reap more benefits after the war.
It's good now that the two daimyo who sent the most troops have become foils, and all the credit is counted on a piece of white cloth. What does this mean!
After Asai Nagamasa heard this, he laughed out loud and ordered the Asai family's Hime Samurai to publicize more and add fuel to the flames.
As the sacred white flag was deified, Shiba Yiyin also became the chosen one in the eyes of the Ji warrior.
All the concubines call her the chosen one.
