Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After a full meal, Kira Yoshito arranged for the naval forces to block the Kamogawa channel. It was necessary to ensure that Matsunaga Nagayori's two thousand troops could not pass through the Kamogawa River, and then left behind the severely damaged remnants of the formation and wounded soldiers to guard the defeated prisoners.  He personally led the remaining troops of the Miyoshi family, less than four thousand, back to the boat and upstream along the Kamogawa River.  After crossing the Sanjo Bridge, they began to land on the east bank one after another. According to the news fed back by Hattori Yasuch¨­, Miyoshi Choitsu was setting up a formation outside Ginkakuji Temple. An early force of 5,000 troops was attacking Nakao Castle on the mountain, and he took his troops with him.  Three thousand troops were stationed at Ginkakuji Temple.  At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Miyoshi Nagaitsu launched a routine suppression. He was resting in Cizhao Temple. He would order the army to attack Zhongwei City every day. In the first half month, Miyoshi Nagaitsu took advantage of the opportunity to command the army.  The novelty of going up the mountain to hit Zhongweicheng every day, but after the novelty wore off, I became tired. I coveted the prosperous imperial palace of Cizhao Temple and spent every day in it, making the beautiful temple into a mess. It was really annoying to everyone.  After getting this valuable information, Kira Yoshitoki seized the opportunity and immediately led four thousand troops towards Cizhao Temple, catching Miyoshi Changitsu off guard. Only a few of the Miyoshi family troops in the formation were fully dressed.  , most of them relaxed their vigilance and rested, so when the Kira family's troops suddenly came, the formation immediately fell into panic.  Ji Liangyi was worried that this guy was stubbornly resisting in Cizhao Temple. If there was an attempt to burn down the temple, it would not be worth the loss. So when he ordered the army to encircle Cizhao Temple, he deliberately surrounded three towers and let them escape. Moreover, because of the strength of the troops,  Inadequate, because Omi was too tired from the long journey, Kira Yoshitoki only ordered a strong attack on the front.  The long-range strikes of the iron artillery team and the archery team continued to wear down their will to resist. The Miyoshi rebels who dared to resist for a while suffered numerous casualties. Listening to the thunderous explosion, Miyoshi Changyi ordered everyone to resist desperately.  While summoning the retainers to discuss countermeasures.  "Now the shogunate army is coming! What should I do?" Miyoshi Nagaitsu's nephew, Miyoshi Hyogo said to Katsumasa: "The only plan for now is to join the army and fight back in one go!" "Yes!  Ah! That's the only way! "These retainers are all mediocre people, otherwise they wouldn't follow Sanhao Changyi as retainers. Anyone who is capable wants to be a retainer with Sanhao Changqing. Who would follow this old guy?  After drinking together, the monks in the temple locked the door of the Zen room and ignored them. Mihao Changyi felt that there was nothing he could do.  "Does this family really have to escape?" The elder of an important sect of the Sanhao family was pacing back and forth, unable to make a decision. In the final analysis, he still harbored illusions and hoped that the troops on the mountain would come back in time for rescue.  His hesitation did not last long. The Mikawa Ry¨­ reserve team, which had held back for most of the day, opened fire with full firepower. Among them, the gun Hanzo Watanabe Takatsuna took the lead, leading two hundred elite ashigaru to charge forward in a sharp formation. The big guns in their hands were sharpened with thorns.  Killing five samurai of the Miyoshi family in a moment, and then shouted: "Watanabe Gun Hanzo demands five samurai of the Miyoshi family!" The battle situation changed rapidly. When Watanabe Takatsuna took advantage of the victory and rushed into the formation to kill several people,  Kira Yoshitoki's main formation is also constantly moving forward. Naito Masashiro's horse has a single bow and two pots of arrows hung on the saddle. The long bow in his hand opens and closes at any time. Any Miyoshi family warrior who dares to approach the main formation becomes a  The dead souls fell under his arrows.  The 300 iron artillery troops that were urgently transferred also performed well. Takigawa Masushige commanded the iron artillery team to fire volleys again and again. When facing the ashigaru of the Miyoshi family who gathered to charge, he took aim with his guns calmly and unhurriedly.  They started shooting only when they were ten rooms away. There was a thunderous sound and smoke filled the sky, covering the sky. One salvo killed more than fifty or sixty people.  Sanhao Changyi's military strength only lasted for two moments before it completely collapsed. Sanhao Changyi, who had not thought of a way yet, could only take the remaining 300 troops and flee towards the direction of the army in the mountains in embarrassment.  In the short battle, only more than 300 of the defenders were killed before they all surrendered. Compared with the main formation of Shiheyicun, it was really a thousand miles away.  Kiragi ordered the Yodogawa people who arrived to guard the prisoners, and held a military meeting in Cizhao Temple. At this time, the baked jade was also unloaded from the ship, and the jars of baked jade were stuffed with strips of cloth soaked in soil and salt solution.  It's his secret weapon in this battle.  "The terrain on the mountain road is narrow and steep and is not suitable for large-scale operations, so after the war begins, we must seize the advantage in firepower to defeat the Miyoshi family's army as much as possible! The Yumashi Garu, the iron artillery team, and the roasting throwing team must cooperate, and the gun  The most important thing is to pay attention to protection. You must equip a walking shield. I just saw a lot of people throwing away walking shields and charging. This is wrong behavior and must be strictly stopped. Do you understand? " Time is very tight, Kiragi can only use it.  Wearing a simple map drawn by Hattori Bouchou, he explained the tactical arrangements for the next battle in the Diaoqiuting Pavilion in Cizhao Temple.  The Ashigaru people were busy making fires and boiling water to clean the wounds, and the monks of Jishoji Temple were also busy.He used herbal medicine to bandage the wounded. The temple's resident master, Tataki Toshin, was also an old acquaintance of his. This master was also the 84th abbot of Xiangguo Temple. He allowed Yoshitoki Kira to move the wounded to the pagoda in the temple.  After resting, the monks in the temple provided herbal medicine, boiled water and personnel assistance, which greatly helped Kira Yoshitoki.  "We only have one hour at most to prepare. The Miyoshi family will definitely react before dark and rush down the mountain. Now I want you to go back and make defensive arrangements. We must annihilate the Miyoshi family's troops in this battle!" Kira Yoshiki  warned.  "Yes!" All the retainers dispersed.  Yamamoto Tokiyuki came over and handed him a kettle. Kira Yoshiki took it and drank it with a tilt of his head. The clear and sweet spring water flowed into his body and he felt refreshed. He leaned against the stone pillar in the pavilion and grasped the last moment.  During the rest time, close your eyes and relax.  The quiet summer breeze blew onto him with a hint of cool breeze from early autumn. After a while, Kira Yoshishi whispered: "Teacher, I don't know whether what I did is right or wrong, because my methods have made many people feel uncomfortable."  When people died, I saw them weeping and killing their dying companions. The scene was too cruel. " "You are not wrong. You did a good job, beyond my expectation. I couldn't have done it in my place!  A better choice than you." Yamamoto Tokiyuki took off his helmet and leaned against the stone pillar. The dust and smoke on his face had not been wiped off, and his gray hair was fluttering in the breeze. Only then did Kiragi think of it.  He is already fifty years old.  When Yamamoto Tokiyuki looked at Kiragi who was lost in thought, he said in a calm tone: "The troubled times are like a sea of ??suffering, and people in the world are like drowning people in a sea of ??suffering. You and I are just one of these countless living beings, and we have to do this in order to survive  There is no need to be sad. You have done a good job. As a martial artist, you should be strong." "I want to end this troubled world." Ji Liangyi thought for a moment and then said, "I hate this troubled world, I really hate it!"
