Chapter 258
Chapter 258
The second team didn't go to the reinforcements at all, but really took on the task of attracting Hongan Temple and went to die! !
As long as they pay attention to where Akechi Mitsuhide is pointing, the men with swords can see this fact, and even Akechi Mitsuhide's true thoughts are unfolding before their eyes without any concealment.
The first team's feint attack was precisely to convince Honganji that the second team, which took the opportunity to break through, was Akechi Mitsuhide's hope.It doesn't matter even if the monks of Honganji didn't see this in time, because Akechi Mitsuhide's requirements for the first team also included the key point of "retreat after attacking". Regardless of whether Honganji went according to his idea, the first team retreated In the end, the second team is the prong, and Honganji will inevitably move closer to the second team.
At this moment, Saburo is equivalent to breaking in from the rear that Honganji can't notice, and the thinned enveloping layer, even if there are still enough people, greatly reduces the pressure on Saburo's attack.And it doesn't matter even if people from Honganji find Saburo again——
Because Akechi Mitsuhide's purpose is not to divert the tiger away from the mountain, but to force the monks and soldiers of Honganji Temple to contact the time-traveling army!
Although the current troops in Tianwang Temple are scarce, being besieged and waiting for rescue is just waiting for death, and rushing out is the only chance of survival.For this ray of hope, the ashigaru of Tennoji will also explode with amazing combat power and morale, not to mention that they tried their best to defend before, and Honganji never expected that they would break through from the inside out.Just relying on this to fight unintentionally, the ashigaru of the second team may be seriously damaged, but they will definitely encounter "reinforcements" in the end.
...if only that were reinforcements.
Those time-traveling troops are not characters who will have sympathy for humans.The ashigaru members of the second team, who thought they had found reinforcements and felt at ease, would only be killed on the spot by the time retrograde army as a mere obstacle.But even if they killed the members of the Oda family, there was no way, because the Honganji Temple had surrounded Tennoji Temple a few days ago, and the time-traveling army that appeared at this time, had never communicated with the Honganji Temple, and did not know whether it was an enemy or a friend , Even if it is not the reinforcement of the Oda family, it will be regarded as the "reinforcement" of the Oda family!
And as long as there is a Honganji monk soldier fighting with the time retrograde army, then the battle between the two sides will be impossible to avoid! !
Even if there is a so-called "commander" in the time-traveling army this time, it is absolutely impossible to contain the killing of both sides-once there is a battle, it is not that one side remains calm, and the other side will stop in good faith.After that, Saburo rushed to the vicinity of Tennoji Temple. Whether the time-traveling army wanted to stand still, wait for the Honganji Temple to consume the Oda family's troops before moving, or want to take Saburo's head directly, they had to cross over and fight with them. Only the Honganji army can do it!
Such a plot, such a plot...
Akechi Mitsuhide, is he really ignorant of the action mode of the time retrograde army?
Those men with swords already knew about it, but it was just that Saburo didn't ask about the information, did Akechi Mitsuhide really not know at all!
If it is true... This tactical style of the key card is too familiar and too frightening.
Even if he knew the fate of these ashigaru, it was impossible for the sword man to say it.In the "history" of the military and sword men without time, it is impossible for Akechi Mitsuhide to break through without sacrifice.More than half of them are in a state that cannot be seen by others, and it is very difficult to tell the truth about these ashigaru, and with the thousand wild warriors they have and their own combat power, it is impossible to resist the time-traveling army and Honganji at the same time The flanking attack of the Honganji Temple may be avoided, but the wild samurai are made of flesh and blood.
It is impossible for them to give a more meticulous and convenient method than Mitsuhide Akechi.
They are not human, but Oda Nobunaga's sword Fusangshin.
The ashigaru thought they had a way out, even though the generals could hear the dangers in Mitsuhide Akechi's understatement and carefully warned his soldiers not to be reckless, that hope still spread rapidly.Naturally, these ashigaru people have personally experienced the dangers of war, and even guessed that some companions will be lost here, but as long as there is a chance of surviving, it is worth pursuing for them.
Akechi Mitsuhide's hasty arrangement was effectively implemented in their excitement.
It seemed like a waste of time for him to call everyone together at the beginning, but in fact it raised the morale to the highest level as quickly as possible.The Ashgaru guarding near the gate wall quickly blocked the gate even more tightly. Only the two gates in different directions pointed out by Akechi Mitsuhide were no longer blocked. A place, holding a weapon, nervously waiting for the command of the general.
Because the ashigaru of the first team will withdraw to the temple later, some extra people are drawn from the first team to ensure that the Tennoji Temple will not be breached during this gap.Maeda Toshiro was still standing on the roof, and would broadcast to Mitsuhide Akechi the distance between Saburo and the place. Even though he refrained from revealing more information, those things closely related to history were clearly presented in the In the eyes of Mitsuhide Akechi.
There can be no further delay.
During the time when the ashigaru group started to separate, Akechi Mitsuhide, who had already put on his mask again, felt the heat that was blocked by the mask and counterattacked his face when he breathed, and said loudly to his soldiers: "It's now— -a team!"
His voice is a little muffled than usual, but the non-destructive content brings excitement to the ashigaru.The door of the first team opened silently, and the ashigaru stepped out one by one, and killed the monks and soldiers of Honganji Temple outside!
At the same time, the ashigaru who were assigned to guard Tennoji were also on the wall, shooting arrows at the enemies below! !
Akechi Mitsuhide has clearly recognized his own disadvantages since he entered Tennoji Temple—although he is good at strategy, because he received an orthodox heir education, he cannot be said to be good at weird tactics. Under the premise, he quickly made the judgment of defending the city and waiting for help, and it has been implemented to this day.
But a clear understanding cannot change the fact that Tianwangji is not suitable for defense.The monks and soldiers of Honganji Temple are more proficient in combat methods than the group of monks that Akechi Mitsuhide met before because of the fact that the priest and the daimyos have many marriages. It's impossible for someone with this ability to get ahead - but it still made Mitsuhide Akechi not dare to act rashly.Most of the defense methods in these days are bows and arrows or heavy objects in the temple, but firstly, the heavy objects need to be against the door and smashed to the outside world, but they are easily used as stepping stones by the monks outside to attack. The consumables that cannot be replenished, just thinking of a suitable countermeasure has already taken Mitsuhide Akechi quite a lot of brains.
At this moment, he used all the remaining arrows. This desperate attitude made the ashigaru people full of confidence in the reinforcements from the outside world, roaring and slashing towards the enemy.
The monks in Honganji Temple were still a little slow when they were attacked by arrows, but when the arrows do not insist on accuracy, the lethality is not high-the same is true for iron cannons. The monks and soldiers who had surrounded the temple immediately moved towards the temple Getting closer, they are close to the wall, which is equivalent to the dead corner of the bow and arrow attack range, and further back, the monks who are in the bow and arrow hit range are also equipped with leather armor, and Liu Ya only slides through the leather, At most, it will cause a little damage.
Originally, Akechi Mitsuhide had very few bows and arrows. The people in Honganji Temple may not be proficient in military matters, but they are not lacking in this kind of judgment ability.
Sure enough, after a round of bows and arrows, the number of arrows aimed at the monks and soldiers of Hongan Temple became very small, and they could not pose any threat at all-but at this time, the first team finally came out! !
The gate of the temple is not narrow, but it is impossible to accommodate dozens of people in a row to enter and exit at the same time.If there are too few people rushing out of the gate at one time, these people will be besieged to death by the monks and soldiers of Honganji Temple immediately. Even if the people behind move forward one after another, they will just repeat the fate of the previous people.
Akechi Mitsuhide did not take the lead, but under the stimulation of the way of life, his generals spontaneously understood what to do.After the door slammed open, the ashigaru and others did not rush out, but started hand-to-hand combat with the monks and soldiers of Honganji Temple who came over right in front of the door.The size of the door is fixed. Unless the wall is removed, the number of monks who want to come in and the number of Oda Ashgaru who want to go out are the same. Fair matchup.The monk soldiers faced the Oda army's defense for several days, completely unexpected that the gate would be opened one day, and under the haste to fight, they were at a slight disadvantage at the beginning.
Relying on the desire for life and the unexpectedness of the monks and soldiers of Honganji Temple, these ashigaru who broke out their powerful combat power, finally when the arrows distracted the attention of the people in Honganji Temple and there were no endless reinforcements coming, Come out!
Their feet set foot on the ground outside Tennoji Temple, and at the same moment, the foot light who had stepped into the outside world was killed by the enemy's naginata, and the blood flowed silently on the ground, and soon stained the soles of different people's feet , was taken elsewhere.
Before the first team could go far, they were already suppressed by the overcrowded Honganji Temple!
"—Team [-], attack!"
It was at this time that Akechi Mitsuhide gave the next order.
The ashigaru of the second team got the permission of the lord and opened the gate.The assault of the first team did not completely attract the attention of the monks and soldiers of Honganji Temple, but although the first team and the second team had different goals, the door for them to leave was very interesting-the first team was close to the gate, while the second team was just one step away. A little further away from the queue, close to the corner.
Outside the wall where they were together, most of the monk soldiers were attracted by a group.But after passing a corner, the monks and soldiers of the Honganji Temple here have not received the news from their own side so quickly, and they have not continued to replenish monks and soldiers on this side.Therefore, after the first team attacked, the ashigaru of the second team encountered much less pressure than the first team. Relying on the only remaining iron cannons to open the way first, it took only a few short breaths, and the ashigaru of the second team stepped out The distance has already exceeded the first team!
These are the last few iron cannons and projectiles that Akechi Mitsuhide Katsuki entered Tennoji Temple.
Give this kind of thing to the ashigaru of the second team to help them meet the reinforcements as soon as possible. Who can say that Chimitsu has high hopes for the second team! !
Even this high expectation is completely opposite to what the ashigaru people thought at first.
The sound of the iron cannon is loud and the number of projectiles is very limited. Like bows and arrows, the ashigaru of the second team also chose to separate a small group of people to hold iron cannons and stand on the wall. Attached to the rear of the second team and move forward together.The only difference is that bows and arrows are aimless and only serve as a thin cover for the first team, but the second team does have the cover of the first team first, and the bullets focus on killing the enemies in their direction. Make way for them.
The monks and soldiers of Honganji Temple also experienced the sweetness brought by the iron cannon when Naomasa Harada died. Naturally, it is impossible to besiege Tennoji Temple this time.When the sound of the iron cannon was heard at the beginning, the monks who were a little further away from the second team didn't notice something was wrong. It wasn't until the sound of the iron cannon stopped that they realized something was wrong because of the too short shooting time and frequency, and eagerly moved towards Coming here - at this time, the second team had already walked half the distance forward, and had already been spotted by the nearby monk soldiers.
"A team retreats!"
At this time, it is obviously meaningless for the first team to continue the task of luring the enemy.In order to preserve his combat power to a greater extent, Akechi Mitsuhide decisively gave the order to evacuate.
The ashigaru team not far from the temple gate immediately retreated in an orderly manner. The former forward turned into the rear, looking for a gap in the flashing sword light, killing the enemy to survive.The width of the door helped them fight the enemy at the beginning, but now it prevents them from evacuating. The formations that have spread a little because of killing the enemy have to be gathered back. Apart from their spontaneous approach to their companions, they are more likely to be forced to retreat. The monks attacked and cut the numbers on the fringes.
The palms of the Ashgaru people by the door were covered with sticky sweat, and they closed the door abruptly when the first team was almost evacuated.The ashigaru who had just fought against the monk soldiers had no time to take a break with the weapons in their hands, and immediately hurriedly moved the heavy objects that had been removed before, and put them against the door to prevent the enemy from breaking in.
A naginata broke open the wooden door and slashed down suddenly, but failed to hit the door bolt, but knocked on the piled up Buddha statues and stone pillars.But there were also weapons breaking in from other gaps, and without warning, they plunged into the body of Ashgaru who was leaning against the door and busy.The dark red blood slid down the edge of the weapon, and even the miserable howls of the ashigaru people were hard to hear because of the loud killing sound outside.
And when they evacuated, the bodies of the ashigaru who died outside had been hacked and trampled to a disastrous state.
There are monks and soldiers outside, and the temple is inside, but everything that happened in just a few minutes did not show a single bit of mercy.
Now that the first team has withdrawn, only the second team faces the pressure from the outside world alone.
There was still the sound of slashing and slashing from the gate that a team had entered and exited in advance, but without siege equipment, it would be difficult to break through this gate for a while.More monks and soldiers who already knew about the battle began to gather towards this place, but they did not see the first team. Except for those who had just fought with the first team, the rest of them naturally moved towards the obvious place. The second team, who were not monks and soldiers, launched an attack outside the temple.
Surrounded by countless people and making it impossible to move an inch, the second team's team shrunk circle after circle visible to the naked eye, but their fighting spirit was strangely undiminished. Thrilling ferocity.With the sword man's outstanding eyesight, he couldn't even see how much blood was stained on the ground under the crowded crowd. He could only see the people belonging to the Oda family falling down one by one, surrounded by people wrapped in white face towels. Some monks also fell down, but more monks from the rear filled the gaps of the fallen, approaching the people of the second team step by step, until their face scarves were splashed with bright red.
Akechi Mitsuhide did not have such good eyesight, so he could only listen to the narration of the men with swords.When he was listening, he naturally crossed his hands in front of his belly. Even wearing armor, he had a kind of elegant temperament, but listening to these cruel scenes, his eyebrows and eyes did not even move at all. The face wrapped in a kerchief, It's really hard to guess what kind of expression is underneath.
Before Saburo arrived here, the people of the second team finally broke through the siege of Honganji Temple and met the "reinforcement army".
There are only a few of them left, which shows the brutality of the battle.These few people are no longer of much use to the war, but because they are too desperate and their attitude is too firm, the monks and soldiers of Hongan Temple can't help but wonder if they have any important letters on them or know the location of the Oda family's reinforcements—just If it was simply a rout after the war, it would not have such a clear direction.
The monks and soldiers were closely behind them, separated by only two steps that were dangerous and playful, like a cat catching a mouse.
The time-traveling army stood quietly at the position where the only remaining Oda Ashgaru fled.
They are huge, but they are as silent as statues when they are not moving. They don't even know if they are breathing, and they don't look conspicuous in the dark forest.But when the ashigaru people ran towards them with a strong purpose, their humanoid form could not be concealed in the eyes of the monks.
The ferocity brought about by the war has not faded from their hearts.Even if these time-traveling troops are not wearing the armor of the Oda Army, since they are hiding here, they must have other purposes. Therefore, they must be mentally prepared to become enemies of the monk soldiers! !
The ashigaru have already run to the front of the time retrograde army.
They can also recognize that this is not their colleague, but Akechi Mitsuhide's determined demeanor has affected their judgment, and it is the same as what the monks and soldiers of Honganji Temple mistakenly thought-appearing here at this time, without joining the monks and soldiers on Tennoji Temple The besiegers might be the reinforcements of the Oda family
The Warring States Period was so chaotic that enemies might form alliances out of interests.
The direction Mitsuhide Akechi indicated at that time was too clear, and there was obviously only one unit of the Time Retrospective Army here.The death of their companions and the burden of seeking reinforcements weighed heavily on the hearts of the only remaining second team Ashgaru. When they saw people who were not monks, they subconsciously gave a sigh of relief.Even if there are veterans among them who are lucky enough to meet with the time-traveling army, they don’t think they can guess the plan of the upper class, let alone the monks follow closely behind. They can only rush forward at the beginning, and now they want to change direction and escape It can no longer be done.
They have already stretched out their hands to the time-traveling army, and their mouths have been opened. It seems that the words of calling for help will overflow from their throats in a second.
The monk's naginata and the time-traveling army's machete slammed into their vitals, and their movements were so swift and neat that they couldn't tell who was in front and who was behind.
Mitsuhide Akechi: A Heart Like Iron.jpg
Surprised or not, this chapter directly describes the movements of the first team and the second team.
What a scary man, Hikaru.Swordsmen, are you touched?
Sword: dare not move, dare not move.
Don't expect me to have any insights on tactics, I just write casually, and you can just take a look...
I don't know the topography of Tianwang Temple at all, it's all up to me to make it up.
