——Then Nagashima City incorporated the Yikui Army, and since then Ise Nagashima has been owned by the Oda family

How can it be!

If these fanatics are really allowed to survive, it will be the failure of this expedition to Long Island.Akechi Mitsuhide's goal was very clear from the very beginning, that is to wipe out all the fanatics in Ise Nagashima, leaving no one behind.He is very kind and polite in his dealings with others, so that people feel that he is a gentle person-in fact, he is, but his nature is similar to Saburo, a stubborn type that is difficult to change once a decision is made.

Since he rejected the surrender of the Ichikui Army in Otorii Castle before, how could he change his mind now?

The Oda Army, which is separated from the army and the peasants, has no worries about busy farming. For Akechi Mitsuhide, there is no limit to his performance in this battle. It only depends on his means... Whether it can be as he thought, Unshakable by those howls and curses.

From the first ten days of August to the current end of September, Yachangshima Castle, Nakae Castle, and Nagashima Castle have been besieged by the Oda Army. More than a month has been enough for the Ichikui Army in the city to consume all the food and grass.Most of them were born in poverty, and they were able to endure hunger, but they still couldn't resist the panic and despair of being besieged to starve to death.Under the faith, they still grasped the last trace of humanity, even though they were hungry, they did not do such things as changing their sons and eating them, but asked the Oda Army to surrender again.After receiving an affirmative answer, the First Kui Army in Long Island City relaxed almost instantly, opened the city gate ecstatically, and left Long Island City.

There are already ships parked nearby, ready to take them to the place where the Oda family's army is located.

Small boats are commonly used by these Yi Kui troops, and they are not difficult to operate.Therefore, even though there were no Ashgaru from the Oda Army on board, these Ichikui troops did not become suspicious, and the nearby Ataka ship, which was so tall that they horrified them, made them honest and dare not resist.Hunger deprived them of most of their strength, but they could barely keep their paddling strength--after a while, the boats were far away from the shore.

Akechi Mitsuhide waved his hand.

What greeted these Yi Kui troops was not food that could relieve hunger, nor ropes that bound the captives, but countless shining weapons and iron cannons.The sound of countless iron cannons firing in salvo was not much worse than that of cannons, which made the people who were already flustered by hunger even more flustered, and almost didn't know what to do.Heavy projectiles rushed towards these terrified people densely, and the cry of pain was louder than the sound. After the iron cannon passed, countless feathered arrows came, piercing into the bodies of these people who were emaciated due to hard work and hunger!

This is not to accept their surrender, it is clearly to kill them all!

"Aren't you afraid of retribution, aren't you afraid of retribution!!"

"be cheated!!"

As a sincerity of surrender, these Yikui troops surrendered their weapons and armor.Even if most of them are ridiculously inferior, it is the only thing they can use to resist and protect themselves.Now these Yikui troops far away from the shore are unarmed and can only passively bear the attack of the Oda family.

In such a tight attack, there is no time to treat wounds.The projectile that got into the body left a round hole, and blood came out of it one after another. Those who were shot by the feather arrows were due to the chaos of the scene and the large number of Yikui soldiers. Most of all, they all tore their wounds in the collision.The blood spread across the river centered on the group of small boats, until the river water that could slap the hull of the Anzhai boat turned red. not end yet.

One Kui army braved the arrows and stray bullets to row back, but it was inevitable that they were ambushed by the Oda family there.More Ichikui troops who wanted to escape by rowing boats were directly overturned by the huge and cumbersome Ataka boats, and then their lives were taken away by the blade of Oda's ashigaru.

The ending of this killing is already doomed.Among the voices belonging to the Ichikui Army in Long Island that were getting smaller and smaller and finally disappeared, most of them were miserable howls, and the most content-rich ones were only the words "Aren't you afraid of retribution" full of hatred.

Bodies were scattered all over the boat, in the river and even on the shore.The water was so turbid that the swimming fish in it could not be seen, and all I could see on the Ataka boat was red eyes, which made Ashgaru at the helm tremble.

"...Even if it is His Highness's order." Sakuma Nobumori couldn't help saying, "This is too..."

He got stuck, turned his head unbearably, not to look at the miserable situation on the river, and finally managed to find a word that was not so scary, and said it with a sigh.

"...Lack of benevolence and righteousness."

"It's not His Royal Highness's order, it's my own initiative."

Until this time, Akechi Mitsuhide did not forget to explain the truth.His tone was light, but against the background of the tragedy that just happened, his words sounded extremely cold and very convincing—however, everyone believed that such a thing could not be caused by Akechi Mitsuhide who dared to "make his own claim" , no matter what he said, he had already acquiesced that it was Saburo's instruction.

"...When I think about the battle of Mikatahara, Mr. Sakuma is already the most benevolent and righteous."

Nobukatsu Sakuma, who withdrew early during the battle and caused the death of his colleague Tie Panxiu, coughed and stopped talking.

Such a scene is indeed tragic, but most of the Oda family's retainers don't take it seriously--only a few are worried, and most of them care about this "going back and forth".

It's not all the generals of the Oda family who are used to the bloody battlefields and have become numb to life and death, but the Ise's Ichikui army and the Oda family... really have a deep hatred across the sea of ​​blood! !

When the daimyos from all walks of life jointly sent troops to try to block Saburo to death, wasn't it the Ise Nagashima Ichikui army who took advantage of the situation and made the Oda family tired of coping!

Many generals of the Oda family, and even the younger brother of Oda Nobunaga, were killed by these Yikui people. After Saburo was able to rush back to Gifu from Kyoto, there were also these Yikui people who stopped him on the way.If it is said that the Oda family will suffer retribution in the end, will the Yikui people who did these things not be punished!

Since you regard yourself as the "Ichikui Army" that can fight with the army, you must be prepared to be wiped out by the army!The massacre this time can be criticized only by Akechi Mitsuhide's method which is not aboveboard.

People in later generations will probably criticize this greatly.It's just that for these generals of the Oda family, all this is still within the acceptable range.

"The Ichiku army in Long Island City has been trapped and killed, and they can enter Long Island City next." Shibata Katsuie said, "However, in the remaining two cities, the Ichiku army will inevitably resist fiercely."

He looked deeply at Akechi Mitsuhide.

"Mr. Wise has thought of a way to deal with it in advance."

What he looked at was Akechi Mitsuhide, but what he asked was Saburo's way.It's just that he consciously understood Saburo's thoughts, even though he felt a little sorry for Akechi Mitsuhide, he still took care of Saburo's face - but in Akechi Mitsuhide's ears, there was no pun at all.

The masked young man still thought that Shibata Katsuie was asking himself literally. As for the old man who had worked for his father, he humbly lowered his head, and his tone was still light: "Yes. Nagashima Castle and Nakae Castle The Yikui army is similar to that of Long Island City, and there will be no food available right now. It will take time for the news of the Ikui from Long Island City to reach there. Before they can't bear it and want to leave the city, we will seal the gates of the two cities. "

Under everyone's gaze, he continued calmly.

"...and set fire to the city."

This is even worse than the Yikui army that trapped and killed Long Island City before - the meaning revealed in it is to burn all the Yikui troops in two cities to death in the city! !

For a moment, even Katsuie Shibata gasped.

But soon, he stood up and yelled at the others in a stern tone: "Then——don't waste time! Start taking action now, and get ready to burn the city right away!"

"Taking Long Island for Your Highness, this is what we need to do!"

Thinking that such an order was issued by Saburo, the retainers who were shocked at first no longer even had the idea of ​​questioning Akechi Mitsuhide—since Oda Nobunaga borrowed Akechi Mitsuhide to convey this Such an order is obviously to reject all possibilities of rebuttal!

As retainers, since the lord wants to do this, what else can they do other than obey orders? That person is Oda Nobunaga—the Oda Nobunaga who uses the skulls of enemies as wine glasses!

No matter what cruel decision such a person makes, it is no surprise!

Not every retainer of the Oda family can appear at the New Year's banquet. As for Saburo's mistaking a skull painted with gold powder and showing respect for a wine glass, those retainers who are lucky enough to see it will certainly not spread it to the outside world—— And judging by the wayward lord's contemptuous attitude towards the enemy's skull, I'm afraid it's just Saburo's thoughts as a wine glass

With such an attitude, it is not surprising that the rumors intensified and almost replaced the truth in the end.With the knowledge that "Oda Nobunaga is brutal", these retainers accepted such a terrible order, except for the initial shock, but they accepted it well, and soon they all resigned one by one, and prepared to seal the city gate. grid and ignition material.In the end, instead, Mitsuhide Akechi, who was ready to be refuted by everyone, and had even prepared his words to persuade others, sat there, with a rare look of bewilderment in his phoenix eyes, which were exactly the same as Saburo.

...that's...accepted

I always feel that with his prestige, everyone shouldn't be so obedient.

Finally, I realized that there was something wrong with everyone's attitude, but because I had to rush to the other two cities and the time was tight, Akechi Mitsuhide had no time to think about it, so he could only start preparing for the burning of the city first.

Sure enough, the two cities heard what happened to the people in Long Island City, even though they were also unable to persist due to lack of food, they both gritted their teeth and closed the city gates, making up their minds to fight to the end.It took too little time for Mitsuhide Akechi to make a decision or to be recognized for his decision. Once the generals were willing to accept his instructions, the action they produced was also amazing.Before the Yikui army could recover from their grief and make a final act of resistance against the Oda army still besieging them under the impetus of hunger, one wooden fence after another was stuck near the city gate. The two cities were firmly sealed, and the people inside were not given a chance to escape.The materials for the fire were also transported in piles under the command, and several teams of ashigaru piled them under the corner of the wall.

The fire ignited silently, and by the time the Yikui army in Wuchangdao City and Zhongjiang City noticed it, the fire was already uncontrollable.

Even if there is still manpower to fight the fire, the existing surplus of the water source that is consumed along with the food is difficult to put out the fire.Even if they want to run out of the city to get water or escape, the wooden fence has already restricted their movement, and the Oda family not far away is ready to go, waiting at any time like they did to the Ichikui army in Long Island City Shoot them on the spot - it's absolutely determined to let them die here.

In the end, the Yikui army who had opened the city gate but were stopped by the wooden fence had to accept the ending of dying here.

"There will be retribution."

In the raging fire, the voices of this group of fanatics were extremely sharp.

"Karma!! I will repay you for what I have done! I will repay you!! Oda Nobunaga!"

This is the exact same curse word that I heard when Ichikui of Nagashima City was trapped and killed, and even earlier when Mitsuhide Akechi suppressed Ichikui of Nagashima.

The same as but different from the retainers of the Oda family, these fanatics also attribute Mitsuhide Akechi’s actions to the instruction of Oda Nobunaga. This is not out of understanding of the Oda family, but simply merges the retainers with the lord Together, while resenting Akechi Mitsuhide and Oda Nobunaga.

"Even if there is such a thing as retribution." Akechi Mitsuhide looked at the firelight and the twisted human figure that seemed to be dancing in the fire, and said softly and firmly, "I don't need you to worry about it."

It is both "Oda Nobunaga" and "Akechi Mitsuhide", even if there are gods and Buddhas who bring karma to the world - it will only fall on him! !

Just like those sword fusangshen, Saburo is the one who can order them, but the name he handed over when connecting with them with spiritual power is "Oda Nobunaga"!

Looking at the gradually quiet city where there were no more wailing or cursing, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said sincerely: "—Finally, I have lived up to His Highness's expectations. We have taken Long Island."

That "return to you"... I forgot which material I read about the history of the Warring States Period. Anyway, it seems that it is not now. It should be during the attack on Nagashima after the burning of Mount Hiei. The people who were burned to death cursed Nobunaga In the future, he will also be buried in a sea of ​​​​fire.

Skull pain.

This chapter is still a blockbuster nonsense.

In fact, not only the Yikui army died, but also their families.

The first Kui army in Long Island City took a boat to the center of the river and was shot by iron cannons.Another "Tianxia Buwu-Oda Nobunaga" wrote about Nagashima Castle, and said, "On September 29, I asked Nobunaga to surrender, Nagashima Castle opened, and fled to Duoyun Mountain and Kita Ise To Osaka".

Bloody Long Island is finally over.

Still an update today...but.Even if I update it, please don't just leave a comment on the last chapter...
