- Kiso Valley, Kiso Fukushima Castle.
Now in Kiso Valley, there is smoke and fire everywhere.
Under the dry weather that had just entered autumn, countless felled trees were piled under the outer walls of Kiso Fukushima Castle and set on fire by the Takeda army.
On top of the mountains of wood, a flame several meters high was ignited. The high temperature of the flame seemed to scorch the air.
Black smoke billowed into the sky, covering half of the sky in an instant.
On the hillside near Fukushima Castle, Hoshina was sitting on a horse, holding military equipment and looking at the fire under Kiso Fukushima Castle.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:
" Takeda Nobushige has not officially announced to the world that he will enter Luo, but everyone knows that this is an outpost battle, and its purpose is to prepare for opening up the Higashiyama Road.
Therefore, this battle is related to whether the Shangluo army can enter Dongshan Road and invade the hinterland of Meinong in one go, so it is crucial.
The scorching heat has blown onto the formation.
The powder carried by the black smoke in the sky fell from the sky.
The flags and objects of the Takeda Army's main formation were all stained with a layer of black.
Even General-in-Chief Baoshi Zhengda himself was not spared, and his face was also dark.
However, despite suffering from the smoke, Hoshina honestly knew that the mood of Kiso Yoshimasa in Kiso Fukushima Castle was ten times worse than his.
Kiso Valley has always been rich in forest trees. But now it is being used by Hoshina Honesty, and he uses the city-burning strategy to burn Kiso Fukushima Castle.
¡°The Kiso family¡¯s soldiers are probably already in the steamer.
While Hoshina was staring at the fire at Kiso Fukushima Castle, he was looking towards the hillside not far away.
From the direction of Higashiyama Road, the reinforcements sent by the Oda Army to Kiso Fukushima Castle have arrived.
The reinforcements are the 300-strong army of Toyama Tomotada, the lord of Naegi City, one of the wealthy Higashi Meino clan.
Facing the 2,000-strong army of the Takeda Army and Minami-Shinano Army that besieged the city, these three hundred troops felt quite alone.
Toyama Yutada looked at the fire under Kiso Fukushima Castle from a distance, but he just stood aside helplessly. Sit and watch.
The fire in Kiso Fukushima Castle burned for a whole day and night.
Baoke looked directly at the city with only black smoke, and saw that all the outer walls had been burned down.
Although the Kiso Army dug a firewall between Waiguo and Honmaru, half of the houses in the city were burned by the fire.
Kiso Fukushima Castle is not a big city, it only has a dual structure. Such a fire is not a big deal for the city. Already fatal.
Seeing this, Baoke Zheng immediately pressed the general and dispatched together with the powerful military force of the powerful clan.
The lord of Shinano Toshijo Castle, Yashiro Mitsumasa, and the lord of Shinano Akijo Castle, Aki Tsunebayashi, as well as their subordinate generals such as Ryo Banishi Oribe and Inabata Mamoru, each led their troops to attack Kiso Fukushima Castle.
The sound of fierce fighting. It sounded at the head of Kiso Fukushima Castle.
Hoshina stood up straight from the horse and looked towards Kiso Fukushima Castle, full of confidence.
Although standing aside, reinforcements from the Oda Army have arrived one after another.
The side of Yuzhong in the distant mountains. With the support of General Tadamasa under the command of Kawajiri Hidetaka, he felt confident for a while.
After the two armies merged, reinforcements slowly came in the direction of Kiso Fukushima Castle in a dense formation.
Baoke Zhengzheng just smiled slightly when he saw it.
Seeing that just when the Takeda Army under the castle was about to fall into a situation of being attacked from both sides, a line of troops from the side and rear of the Oda Army's reinforcements cut off the Oda Army's retreat.
The officers and men of the Oda Army saw the flag seal of this powerful general. Everyone was frightened by the news.
It was during the Nagashino battle that the other party sought Oda Nobunaga's racecourse.
In Kiso Fukushima Castle, Kiso Yoshimasa stood on the castle tower, watching the soldiers of the Kiso Army around him gradually being overwhelmed by the attacking Takeda Army, and the reinforcements that had high hopes appeared in the military presence of Baba Shobo. Afterwards, those who were killed fled in all directions.
Suddenly. Kiso Yoshimasa was completely desperate, and the last hope in his heart was cut off.
Kiso Yoshimasa raised his sword, staggered towards the back room, and murmured to himself: "Although I have been defeated, the family fortune of my ancestor Yoshinaka cannot be destroyed because of me. Someone will return my wife to you." Send Iwamatsumaru out of the city together, they have the blood of the Takeda family, so they will be fine."
Having said this, Kiso Yoshimasa shouted to the two retainers as if his throat was being torn out: "Did you listen? Hurry up, otherwise it will be too late."
?After hearing this, the two retainers looked at each other and ran away immediately.
A heavy rain came in Weishan City.
This is the typhoon at the end of summer. The rain it brought swept across and reached the direction of Japan's Hokurikudo.
In the sky above Honmaru Palace, the weather is already stormy.
The dark clouds were rolling, and the heavy rain was pouring down like a continuous line, causing Li Xiao's ears to hear a loud crashing sound.
With the situation changing, Li Xiao held his chin with his hand, but he was thinking a little.
While Li Xiao was deep in thought, there were rapid footsteps behind him.
Li Xiao looked sideways and saw a warrior with a small flag passing through the rain curtain and entering the palace.
After a close search by Li Xiao and identification, the warrior walked through the corridor, came to the steps in front of Li Xiao, knelt down and said loudly to Li Xiao.
"Reporting to my lord, Lord Hoshina of the Minami-Shinano Corps, with the cooperation of Lord Baba, has captured Kiso Fukushima Castle, and rebelled against Kiso Yoshimasa and killed himself in the castle tower."
The rain powder all over the sky hit the warrior's armor, making a thin sound. The other party's voice rang clearly in the palace.
After hearing this, Li Xiao snorted softly and said, "Is Kiso Yoshimasa dead?"
Li Xiao has never had a good impression of this person and has always treated him as a traitor in the Takeda family.
After a pause, Li Xiaoyan said: "It is not a pity that Kiso Yoshimasa died, but his wife is the princess of our family. Oh, I remember she just gave birth to a boy for the Kiso family. Will they suffer the disaster of destroying the city?"
The warrior immediately lowered his head and said hesitantly: "Thisthis."
Li Xiao immediately hummed.
The samurai immediately said in panic: "Reporting to my lord, this is how Kiso Yoshimasa ordered two retainers to take his wife and legitimate son out of the city in front of the city. However, the two of them were escorted to Tsugasaki Hall. On the way, the baby died suddenly!"
Li Xiao narrowed his eyes and shouted: "Is there any inside story in this?"
The warrior lowered his head and said: "I heard that before the infant's violent death, Chao Yue Gong sent an envoy here. My lord, this is just my own speculation."
After Li Xiao heard the words, he immediately waved his hand to signal the other party to leave, but he was pacing in the imperial palace.
¡°If there is really Takeda Nobushige¡¯s instruction behind this matter, then what is the reason?
Just as Li Xiao was speculating, the thumping footsteps sounded again.
In front of the corridor, his retainers, Maeda Toshiie and Hashiba Hidecho, walked up.
There were two or three attendants behind each of them, holding umbrellas for them. However, the heavy rain fell very fast, but their hunting clothes had already been soaked.
Coming to visit at this time, Li Xiao knew that these two people must be in a hurry.
Maeda Toshiie, Hashiba Hidenaga handed the tachi and ribs that he carried with him to Li Xiao, and then left his attendants outside the corridor.
The two of them went in together to meet Li Xiao.
Li Xiao immediately ordered people to put a brazier on top of the imperial palace, hoping that the two of them could get rid of the moisture on their bodies.
The meeting place was moved to the imperial palace. Li Xiao was sitting on the mat in the main seat. Behind him were his flag seal with the word "Li" and the armor he usually wore when going into battle.
Maeda Toshiie and Hashiba Hideuchi were on the lower side of Li Xiao's right hand, paying homage to Li Xiao as a minister.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Outside of the house, Maeda Toshiie said: "My lord, Hideki Hashiba has clearly rejected the matter of surrendering to my family."
Hidenchang Hashiba, the head of the Maeda Toshi family, also said: "I'm sorry, my lord, although my brother is usually very smooth, he also has a stubborn side. He wrote back to me and said, Nobunaga said to him back then. He has the kindness to meet me, so he must repay it with death, so no matter what conditions the family offers, he will not join."
Li Xiao nodded and said, "I understand, thank you for your hard work."
For him, sleeping with a general of the legion was just a matter of giving it a try. If he failed, there would be no regrets.
It¡¯s just that the current situation in the world has secretly tilted towards Takeda¡¯s side, but Hashiba Hideyoshi is so ignorant of current affairs, which makes Li Xiao¡¯s understanding of him slightly biased.
Thinking of this, Li Xiao looked at Hideuchi Hashiba, smiled slightly, and said: "When your brother brought you to see me, the scene is still clearly visible to this day. Your brother is a talented person in the world. In terms of performance, compared with him, I, Li Xiao, also feel inferior."
"Tell your brother, the general trend of the world cannot be reversed by one person's power, so a hero must act according to the trend in order to?Have a lot of achievements. As long as he figures it out at any time, he can surrender to the Takeda family. My promise to him will always be valid. I hope he can do the same for himself. "
Hashiba Hidenaga immediately let out an ooh, and said with some emotion: "Thank you, my lord, for your kindness to my brother. My brother also said in the letter that besides Nobunaga, the one he admires the most is Mr. Nobunaga. Major General of the Guards."
"I hope that I can serve my lord well. In the future, when we two brothers meet each other in battle, no matter who wins or loses, the name of the Hashiba family will be remembered forever."
Having said this, Hideucha Hashiba couldn't help but feel a little emotional. He couldn't restrain himself, and his eyes turned slightly red.
¡°Maeda Toshiie, on the other hand, was also sighing with emotion.
Li Xiao nodded silently and said: "Very good, since your brother values ??me so much, Li Xiao, I will defeat him with the greatest strength so that he will have no regrets."
"Immediately write a letter to contact the Mori family, hoping that they can attack Hashiba Hideyoshi's army from Tajima, Bitchu, and two directions. I will order Kano Hideharu, Naito Ruyasu, and Muto Tomoe to lead an army of 10,000 to insert from behind. Contain the Oda family¡¯s reinforcements from Kinki.¡±
oh!
??Maeda Toshiie and Hashiba Hidecho both agreed with a bang. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to (.) to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
