Non-Honmaru Inner Honwan [Comprehensive]

Asai Nagamasa has been afraid of the Koka ninjas of the Oda family for a long time.

A few years ago, Asai Nagamasa was pissed because of the unknowing behavior of the Oda family ninjas to send letters. For this reason, he (uselessly) cleaned up and down Xiaogu Castle, which made the Asai family panic and indirectly It contributed to the unfavorable situation of the Allied Forces of the Asahi Dynasty before the start of the Battle of Oda and Anegawa that Horihide Village surrendered to.

No matter how hard Nagamasa Asai tried and filled Xiaogu Castle with people he trusted, he still couldn't find any trace of these ninjas when they delivered the letter.Those letters written one by one to Ashi or him asking him to send the princess of the Oda family back to Gifu seemed to appear out of nowhere, and sometimes even appeared by his side, but he didn't feel the slightest sign of trouble .

This frightening "Koka ninja" like a blade hanging above the head - when Nagamasa Asai learned that they were all people with hair color and eye color different from ordinary people, the threat and coldness he felt reached the peak. reached the top.

Such people who are different from ordinary people are extremely conspicuous no matter where they are placed-but even if they are so conspicuous, they can still come and go freely in the heavily guarded Xiaogu City! !

If it is not the defense problem of Xiaogu Castle, then...then it can only be that the ninjas of the Oda family are too strong

To this day, he is still fighting the Oda family to decide the outcome, instead of being decapitated by Nobunaga's ninja in his sleep. He, Asai Nagamasa, was really regarded as an enemy by Nobunaga, and gave him basic punishments. respect

Otani Castle is currently under siege, and almost everyone knows that there is little hope for the Asai family to continue to exist, and there is no need for Asai Nagamasa to break the water bottle like Shibata Katsuie to show his determination to fight to the death, because the castle was burned and the people were killed. The soldiers already had this kind of awareness, and patrolled every place that could be attacked with high morale, determined to bite off a piece of Oda's meat even if they died.

Under such protection, he was able to sneak into the city smoothly. The young-looking white-haired man in front of Asai Nagamasa didn't think of anything other than the ninja of the Oda family.

——But Asai Nagamasa, who was originally hostile to these dangerous ninjas, after seeing the legendary Koga ninja (Kouku Toshiro), his expression was calmer than he expected... even slightly relaxed Take a breath.

Outside the house, it happened to be thunder bursts at this moment.

"No, the only thing my lord has issued is to investigate Miss Ashi's current situation."

"That is to say, do you still want to take Ashi back?" Nagamasa Asai nodded and looked at the kneeling woman.

Seeing Ashi's beautiful face, he couldn't help but raise his hand and gently touch the silky smooth and straight long hair.Perhaps it was because of a glimpse of his intentions, or because she was simply dissatisfied with his actions, the beautiful woman's phoenix eyes were wide open, and the candlelight reflected on her dark pupils, as if a flame was ignited in her eyes. Amplify her anger to a point where it can be easily seen.

However, Oshi was originally a woman who was easy to see through and lived freely.

I will always want to take Ashi back. For Ashi alone, Oda Nobunaga is really a good brother, right?

"Even though Ah Shi is here, he keeps calling him brother and brother... I will really see your brother soon, and Ah Shi will feel happy—no, I will definitely be very happy."

What he said could be taken as blame, but Asai Nagamasa's tone was very indulgent and gentle, as if he was really happy for his wife.

Ashi replied naturally: "That's right. It's always fun to be with my brother—but it's also very happy to be with Nagamasa-sama."

"Happy and happy... I am also very happy to let you say that." Hearing his wife's immediate affirmative answer, Nagamasa Asai's eyes still darkened slightly even after hearing it many times.

He stared into Ah Shi's bright eyes, and finally withdrew his hand as if in compromise.When he looked at Gukuu Toshiro again, his eyes had regained the sharpness of a general: "Then, you go tell Nobunaga that I will send Ashi back as soon as possible. Wait until—"

Before Asai Nagamasa could say a guessed approximate time, there were already thumping footsteps outside the sliding door.With long-term experience in the Oda family (who hid in various places to protect Saburo at close range), the bone scorpion Toshiro immediately stepped on the table and jumped up, rushed two steps on the wooden pillar and then jumped with his hands. He had already hooked the beam smoothly, and climbed up slowly - sure enough, Asai Nagamasa's valet rushed in quickly, without even apologizing for his rudeness.

He quickly looked around for a week, and found that there were only Asai Nagamasa and Ashi in the room. His eyes obviously hesitated when he touched the princess of the Oda family, but Ashi, who was not sent back to the Oda family because of the emergency, was not an outsider. Kneeling down, he stated: "Your Highness! There was thunder just now—the west side of the main pill, as well as the outer and middle gates of Xiaogu City, all caught fire due to the lightning strike!!"

"……what"

Shocked, Asai Nagamasa got up in a hurry, bumped his elbow against the corner of the table, and dropped one of the teacups on the table onto the tatami. The candle shook violently for a while because of the sudden change Gradually regain light.

Asai Nagamasa suddenly didn't notice it - now he can't even feel the pain in his elbow.

After a while, he found his voice, and asked his valet with difficulty: "——Where is the firefighting? Did you send someone to put out the fire? What's the situation at Oda's house?"

"There is no fire at Oda's house!" The man kneeling on the ground reported quickly, "There was indeed an order to fight the fire before coming down here, but... I am very sorry, because the fire was struck by lightning, the soldiers have fallen into chaos , There is no way to start the fire fighting work at all!"

"It's absolutely—is there no way..."

Asai Nagamasa repeated in a murmur, his fists were constantly clenched and loosened in shock, and finally they rested powerlessly on the edge of his legs, and looked down at Ashi.

"Your brother—it's true, he has a 'Mandate of Heaven'."

Xiaogu City is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if it is currently in a desperate situation, it will always have the strength to hold back the Oda family for a few months, not to mention the continued high morale of the soldiers-originally, such a small Gucheng would never be easily captured by the Oda family. of.

But after this lightning strike, everything will be different.

In such weather, lightning strikes were originally a common occurrence.However, the lightning strike caused many fires in Xiaogu Castle, but the Oda family army on the opposite side did not suffer any losses. Oda Nobunaga even committed the crime of burning down Buddhist temples... Only the Asai family was struck by lightning! !

This kind of coincidence, this kind of lightning strike added to the huge disadvantage of Asai who was already difficult to resist and could only delay time...

Simply, it's like God's punishment.

Even God wants Oda Nobunaga to quickly capture Otani Castle, and wants Oda Nobunaga to continue his great cause of hegemony in safety and security! !

The Asai family was destined to perish here—is it destined to die within a few days!

How can people be reconciled... how can people not be reconciled.

Originally, this kind of reality was expected, but when the reality arrived in front of him faster than expected, Nagamasa Asai only felt suffocated, and it was difficult to accept such a future for a while.

No, this is no longer the future.That is clearly something that can happen at any time.

"The ninja of the Oda family."

He didn't care about his valet's stunned and dull eyes for a moment, he just said to himself.

"Please come tomorrow...it's too chaotic here now, and it's hard for you alone to keep Ashi and the others. So, please come here again tomorrow..."

"Come and take Ashi and my three daughters away from me."

Ah Shi, whose future path had been decided by him in this way, just said nothing, his slender eyebrows were knit together, showing a very childlike helpless expression similar to his elder brother.

When the thunder started, the Oda family's headquarters didn't react in any way.

The sky had already darkened, and rain was predictable.The wind and rain can't even be called an influence at all, because the Oda family gained an advantage by relying on siege, while Asai tried to struggle by relying on the terrain.A rain can neither make the Oda family flee, nor can it make Xiaogu Castle fall, so it can be said to be useless.

It’s just that Imagawa Yoshimoto was found by the Oda family in the heavy rain, and the Oda army didn’t rush to disperse to avoid the rain in such a rain, but stayed for a while——

Then, the rain, which had no influence at all, fell on Xiaogu City with bursts of thunder!

Such a statement is probably not accurate enough—to be exact, several bolts of lightning landed in the city, with almost no room for buffering, and the fire ignited in an instant!

Even though the rain was getting heavier and heavier, the fire showed no signs of being extinguished.In the dark night, the light of this point of fire is as conspicuous as a pilot light.

"How could it be..." Ikeda Hengxing said in disbelief, "It's fine for one thunderstorm, but several thunderbolts fell on Xiaogucheng..."

This doesn't seem like an accident, it's simply that the heavens deliberately set Xiaogu City on fire! !

Unexpectedly, Hengxing Ikeda remembered what Saburo said when he dispatched the Koga ninja Guku Toshiro - "It would be great if Otani Castle could become chaotic".

Right now, it was Xiaogu City that was struck by lightning and caught fire, and had to be in a mess!

His teeth chattered involuntarily, but it was not from fear, but from extreme joy.

Even if he doesn't believe in these things, such a coincidence, and the scene of gods and Buddhas helping each other a few years ago, Ikeda Hengxing can't help but believe that Oda Nobunaga is the future lord of the world!

How lucky, how lucky, to be able to fight with such a person! !

"Hey, is this a fire?"

"Your Highness!"

"I'm here."

Saburo, who has never been afraid of wind and rain, looked up at a little fire in the distance when he went out in bad weather from time to time, without recalling what he said a few hours ago.He had just walked behind Ikeda Hengxing, and stopped when he was called by his former valet. After a moment of thought, he said:

"Is this a fire? Sure enough, wooden buildings are easy to catch fire... Gu Gu and the others should have arrived in Xiaogu City, and they will definitely protect Ashi—then, Hengxing!"

"Yes!"

"Let Inuchiyo go." Saburo said, "Let's attack Otani Castle now."

At this moment, both the Asai family and the Oda family have already seen the end.

The soldiers of the Asai family relied on their hatred for Oda to guard the city tightly, but compared with the sudden tightness before, it was originally a proof that the Asai family was pressed by the Oda family step by step and had become a frightened bird.Before the fire broke out, the hatred in his heart still had a target direction, but after such a coincidental fire, everything turned into fear.

Because...even God is helping that man Oda Nobunaga!

Even if they were angry because of Oda Nobunaga's cruel behavior, how could they... How could they possibly be able to fight against the chosen one!Could it be said that everything Oda Nobunaga did before was approved by God, is it correct?

The collapse of cognition, coupled with the continued tense nerves after being besieged, faced the night attack of the Oda family, Asai was completely unable to make an effective defense.

In just one night, except for the inner city, almost all of Xiaogu City was captured by the Oda family.

The only ones who stopped the Oda family and gave the Asai family a last breather, apart from Asai Nagamasa who had stabilized the remaining soldiers and had the possibility of a counterattack, were the six swordsmen who took the opportunity to leave the inner city and return to Saburo. A message from Fu Sangshen.

"I would like to return Ashi. Then go pick her up tomorrow." Saburo replied bluntly after hearing the message relayed by Gukushi Toshiro, "Nagamasa Asai is indeed a good person."

Mention it here again!Thanks to the reader "lanri" for the popular science!It turns out that Otani Castle is divided into the first castle (main hall), the second castle (Kyogoku Maru) and the third castle!The previous chapter has been revised!

Ikeda Hengxing: Your Highness is the Lord of the World!
