Non-Honmaru Inner Honwan [Comprehensive]

Chapter 254

Niwa Chohide would say that...it really wasn't out of selfishness.

Neither he nor Akechi Mitsuhide exists to slander others for their own selfishness, and they also give a very high degree of tolerance to Saburo's willfulness.If it was true that he was dissatisfied with Akechi Mitsuhide and intended to cut off the other party's career, Niwa Changhide would definitely not adopt such a ruthless method-not to mention other things, just this time Akechi Mitsuhide's defeat in the face of Tamba It is enough to be the object of criticism.

However, although Akechi Mitsuhide took on the important task of attacking Tanba, he actually didn't have many subordinates who could be appointed. Even Hosokawa Fujitaka, who was assigned to him by Saburo, also had to manage the internal affairs of Kyoto at the same time. When the Hatano brothers rebelled, he could Pulling away in time is already an astonishing determination.Not to mention that Chimitsu Hideo also cares about Gifu.

Even if he had already determined in his heart that Saburo would suddenly step down as the governor of the family, and even appointed Nobutada as his successor early on, it was determined that Akechi Mitsuhide's secret push would be indispensable, Niwa Changhide would not deny Akechi Mitsuhide's attack on Tanba because of this. Work hard, even if Danbo's result is not satisfactory, he will not use this inevitable result as an excuse to attack.

Therefore, Niwa Chohide would propose that Saburo choose someone else as the general who will lead the overall situation this time, really considering it from the Oda family's standpoint!

Akechi Mitsuhide, who had just returned from Tanba, obviously couldn't take over the battle of Honganji immediately.This is not a question of whether Akechi Mitsuhide has this ability, but that the national conditions of Tanba are different from those of Honganji Temple. The former is difficult to deal with because of the mutual entanglement of forces, while the latter is a temple with many monks and soldiers. It is completely embarrassing for Mitsuhide Akechi to get out of the middle and devote himself wholeheartedly to another battle.

Ordinary ashigaru only needs force, but a general must have a clear vision of the overall situation and a strategy for deploying combat power.

Perhaps with Akechi Mitsuhide's intelligence and tenacity, he could indeed perfectly complete the transition between two battles with completely different terrains and situations, but Ishiyama Honganji Temple has already declared war, leaving too little time for Akechi Mitsuhide.It is too much for Akechi Mitsuhide, who has been busy and tired, to understand the information from Ishiyama Honganji so far in a short period of time, and to respond accordingly. .

Akechi Mitsuhide himself also knew this, so he had no objection to Saburo's order to change Harada Naomasa as a general. Although Niwa Nagahide's senses were a bit complicated, for Akechi Mitsuhide himself, he didn't feel that he had any relationship with the other party. No matter what big conflict, you don't feel that the other party is hindering you at all.

...Although they don't have a good impression of each other, the Oda family's retainers today are still very harmonious and friendly.

On May [-]rd, the battle between Oda and Honganji really kicked off.

"—Although I felt that this trip would not go well."

Arranged by Harada Naomasa, he established his own goals and routes of action. Akechi Mitsuhide, who had already ordered his troops to go out, carefully put on the visor, which was less likely to be scattered than the face scarf. Only his exposed eyes looked around calmly. A swordsman with an unfriendly expression.

"But I didn't expect that you would actually come to my side... This shouldn't be due to Saburo's order."

Yes, new year, new war, it's time for the men of swords to step out to protect historical figures.

This time, the unfriendly expressions of the sword men were not all because their object of protection was Akechi Mitsuhide.Even if Akechi Mitsuhide will commit the crime of killing Saburo's life in the future, he is still an indispensable existence in history at this time. The man with a sword who has already made up his mind to maintain the progress of history at least until the change of Honnoji Temple will naturally not let it go Akechi Mitsuhide's crisis regardless.

The main reason for their bad complexion was Saburo.

As I said before, Saburo has moved out of Gifu and is currently living in Azuchi temporarily.The construction of Azuchi Castle has just started, and the place where Saburo temporarily lives is naturally not as spacious as that of Gifu Castle.The time-traveling army is not only everywhere, after clearing the temporary residence, there will be other places moving here, and more importantly, they will rotate out a new batch every once in a while, regardless of whether the sword men No matter how many beheaded, there are still so many new time-traveling troops.

Even though they have always maintained the style of going out and killing wherever they go, Saburo is not in Gifu now.Originally, the men with swords and swords were all accompanying Saburo. Even if there were related historical events in the middle, some people would be separated to guard around Saburo.

But this time, Saburo was in Azuchi, and Akechi Mitsuhide went to Osaka.Theoretically, Mitsuhide Akechi's crisis lies in being besieged at Tennoji Temple in this Battle of Ishiyama, and the men with swords and swords will have no problem as long as they get the timing right.But in fact, the focus of this battle is not Mitsuhide Akechi, but Naomasa Harada, who died in this battle and directly led to the defeat of the Oda family... When it comes to the situation of the war, this is not a problem that can be solved simply by being stuck in time up!

The sword men had to be divided into two groups in advance, one group went directly to the battlefield with Akechi Mitsuhide, and the other group remained by Saburo's side.Among them, because it may be necessary for the men with swords to switch between the "visible" and "invisible" states, the presser Hasebe also followed-since Saburo did not receive a clear order to go out, the presser Hasebe Tanibe once again showed a decadent state like a dead fish.As for the cleaning of the time-traveling army, the number of people around San Lang who had been discounted in half had to be discounted in half again because they wanted to protect Saburo nearby.

When the number of Daojian Fusangshen was few, this kind of situation did not happen.However, with the arrival of the original sword and the increase in manpower, the sword men who have realized the danger of the time-traveling army and are constantly reminded of their lack of manpower will not be able to settle down for a while.

After hearing Mitsuhide Akechi's words, they subconsciously felt that this statement was a bit strange, but they did not refute it.

After all, if you want to send a man with a sword to protect Mitsuhide Akechi, given the friendship between Mitsuhide Akechi and Saburo, it is absolutely impossible for the former to keep his mouth shut.Even if he tried to find some reason to prevaricate, he would only be seen through immediately.

Akechi Mitsuhide, who wore a thick and hard visor and completely concealed his appearance in the armor, did not continue to raise questions about the behavior of the sword man.

Mitsuhide Akechi judged clearly which was more important, the battle in front of him or the doubtful point he had just discovered from the man with the sword.After all, he had just left the battle in Tanba not long ago. Even if he did not assume the duties of general, he still needed to command his army during the attack on Honganji Temple, which forced him to devote himself wholeheartedly to it.

With no time to continue the conversation, he arranged the armor on his body, confirmed that the visor was very strong, and although it hindered breathing, it was no problem to wear it for a short time, and then marched towards Honganji according to the tactics that Harada Naomasa had previously drawn up! !

The men with swords naturally followed closely behind—and, leading the thousand wild samurai they had replenished again, carefully mixed with the edge of Akechi Mitsuhide's army, and divided into two teams in advance, and sent a team to accompany Harada Naomasa .

The Oda family in the Nagashino battle proved the power of iron cannons to the world. This time, facing the menacing Oda family, Honganji did not face head-to-head, but chose to use iron cannons and bows to fight against the enemy.

Unlike the scattered Ichikui army that the Oda family had faced several times before, the sect master of Ishiyama Honganji Temple was related to many daimyos by marriage. Based on this level alone, it is impossible for Honganji Temple to be ignorant of military politics.In addition, the place of this battle is in Osaka. After decades of operation, Honganji has reached the extreme control of this area. The disciples under the seat are more confident than the Ichikui Army whose confidence was consumed by internal struggles in Echizen. Resolute, not afraid of death.

In a simple fight with swords, Honganji can gain the upper hand because of the madness of the disciples, not to mention the convenience of iron cannons, bows and arrows

It's not that the Oda family didn't bring iron cannons this time, but without the right time and place like the Battle of Nagashino, the iron cannons could only serve as an auxiliary role.The two armies are simply shooting at each other, and Ishiyama Honganji, who knows the surrounding terrain like the palm of his hand, is naturally better! !

The lead bullets flew around the battlefield with an unstoppable loud noise. The hot bullets could not easily tear them into pieces like they did when attacking the time retrograde army, but they could still cause enough damage when they collided with the human body.The generals with armor protection are okay, the lead bullets hit the armor and can't move forward half a point, but the Oda family ashigaru who charged forward and tried to capture the Mitsuji under the influence of Honganji Temple did not have such good equipment and luck .

The leather armor is thin, even though the important parts are still protected by thick and solid armor, but the speed required by Ashgaru prevents them from putting too much load on themselves, whether it is the joints of the hands and feet, or the head and neck, all are exposed to the air Among them, it was only because the shooting accuracy of the iron cannon was not high enough, and the arrows fell on the leather armor with a high probability of slipping away, that they were not shot and killed in one encounter like the Takeda army at that time.But even so, the leather armor that can defend against arrows does not necessarily have such a high defense against those deliberately aimed arrows. The dense crowd also makes Honganji's iron cannons enough even if they are not accurate enough. casualties.

It didn't take long for the momentum of the Oda family to weaken.

Harada Naomasa can be named as the general, so it is natural that he does not have such predictive power.He was wearing a full set of armor like Akechi Mitsuhide, but unlike the latter who needed to cover up his appearance, his entire face was naturally exposed.The stray bullets grazed his armor without causing any scars on him, and after the initial shooting, the lead bullets became less and less, and the proportion of arrows became higher and higher, obviously trying to intimidate the Oda Army at the beginning Afterwards, Honganji Temple exposed the embarrassment of not having so many ammunition reserves.

This is also a matter of course.Under the premise that the price of iron cannons remains high, even if the importance of iron cannons is recognized, how can Honganji spend enough funds to buy these weapons when being dragged down by Echizen Ikki, and how can there be enough in the market? A large number of iron cannons used by Ishiyama Honganji Temple are in circulation

Although the weapons and equipment currently produced by Ishiyama Honganji have exceeded Harada Naomasa's original conception, but this has not had much impact on the tactics he deployed at the beginning.

"Just now—" Sensing that the ratio of bows and arrows has become constant, Harada Naomasa no longer hesitated, and drove his horse forward, intending to boost morale with his own battle, "Taking Sanjin Temple!!"

It is obviously impossible for them to be the only ones who are hostile to Ishiyama Honganji Temple. What Naota Harada conducts can only be regarded as an early battle.Therefore, under the premise that there are few generals, the fully armed Harada Naomasa is particularly conspicuous.Inspired by the general who charged forward, the ashigaru people who had suffered a small setback due to the favorable location of Ishiyama Honganji Temple became excited again!

——That is, at this very moment.

The lead bullet mixed in the bow and arrow smashed into Harada Naomasa's forehead with an unbelievable and coincidental momentum.

It has a range of [-] meters, and the human skull is hard enough, so it shouldn't have such a terrible lethality.

But the tall general with full body armor and no scars other than this blow still shook his whole body and fell straight off his horse.The lieutenant behind him who couldn't stop the horse suddenly stopped the horse, and the front hoof still trampled over his chest, but he didn't say a word.

He has stopped breathing.

In this coincidental, as if predestined way——Harada Naomasa died here! !

The morale that had just been raised fell to the bottom in an instant because of the accidental death of the chief general!The way of Harada Naomasa's death was too conspicuous, and there was almost no possibility of concealing it. In the blink of an eye, the Oda Army, which was still in order, had already collapsed.When they moved towards the same target in unison, the casualties caused by the bows and arrows and ammunition were still limited, but after they lost their target, they interfered with each other and dragged each other down, and Shishan Honganji took the opportunity to cause more than double the casualties! !

Among the disintegrated army, Akechi Mitsuhide had no time to implement Harada Naomasa's previous arrangement and took Tianjin Temple.He could only order to gather the army as soon as possible, retreat back, and go to Tianwang Temple instead!

This kind of confusion only happened in an instant, and even though Mitsuhide Akechi was extremely resourceful, his physical fitness was still at the level of ordinary people—or even a little weaker.He noticed the chaos in front of him and immediately made the decision to retreat, which was all he could do as a general.But compared to Akechi Mitsuhide's limited eyesight and concentration, the men with better swords can easily see the enemy blade hidden in the forest and shadows.

Ishiyama Honganji confronted the enemy with bows and arrows and iron cannons, and the Oda family had a clear line of battle. Therefore, the death of Harada Naomasa was completely an established fate in history, and the time-traveling army was not given a chance to intervene—this is what made the swordsmen who guarded Harada Naomasa It's a waste of time.But they did not interfere with Harada Naomasa's life and death at this time, but they still appeared in Osaka early, which only made the sword man understand one thing.

The current target of the time retrograde army is not only Mitsuhide Akechi.

——In history, Mitsuhide Akechi, who was surrounded by 5000 people at Tennoji Temple, stood firm and waited for rescue, and Nobunaga Oda, who came to rescue with only [-] troops after receiving news of the defeat.

I don't know how Harada Naomasa died, so I just made it up.If that happens to be the case, count me lucky.

But the way I made up my death is really quite unlucky, Naomasa.
