Pillars of the Wu family

After eating, Kira Yoshitoki arranged for the navy to block the Kamogawa waterway, making sure that Matsunaga Nagayori's [-] troops could not pass through Kamogawa, and then left behind severely damaged remnants and wounded soldiers to guard the defeated prisoners The remnants of the Miyoshi family's army, he personally led the remaining less than [-] troops back to the boat and went upstream along the Kamo River.

After crossing the three bridges, they began to land on the east bank one after another. According to the feedback from Hattori Yasutake, Miyoshi Changyi was setting up an army outside the Ginkakuji Temple. An army of [-] soldiers sits in the Silver Pavilion Temple.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Miyoshi Changyi started his 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 Changyi took advantage of the command of the army The freshness of the temple goes up to the mountain every day to hit Zhongwei City, and then the freshness wears off, and the prosperous palace of Cizhao Temple spends a lot of time and wine in it every day to make a good temple a mess, which is really disgusting.

After receiving this valuable information, Yoshitoki Kira seized the opportunity and immediately rushed to Cizhao Temple with [-] troops, and caught Miyoshi Changyi by surprise. Only a few of Miyoshi's troops in the formation were fully dressed , Most of them relaxed their vigilance and rested, so when the Kira family's army came in surprise, the formation immediately fell into a panic.

Kira Yoshishi was worried that this servant would be stubbornly resisting in Cizhao Temple, and if there was an act of burning the temple, the gain would not be worth the loss, so he ordered the army to encircle and suppress Cizhao Temple, and deliberately surrounded Sanque to let them escape, and because of the strength of the troops Insufficient, because Omi was too tired from the long-distance travel, Kira Yoshitoshi only ordered a strong attack on the front.

Using the long-range striking power of the iron cannon team and the bow and arrow team to constantly wear down their will to resist, the Miyoshi rebels who dared to resist for a while rushed out suffered countless casualties. Hearing the sound of thunderous explosions, Miyoshi Changyi ordered everyone to resist desperately, While convening retainers to discuss countermeasures.

"Now the shogunate army is coming! Tell me what to do with my family?"

Miyoshi Changyi's nephew, Miyoshi Hyogo, said: "The only plan for now is to join the army and fight back!"

"That's right! That's all there is to it!" The retainers are all mediocre, otherwise they wouldn't follow Miyoshi Changyi as retainers. Those who are capable want to go to Miyoshi Changqing as direct ministers. Who would follow this old guy? Mixed eating and drinking, the monks in the temple locked the door of the meditation room and ignored them, and Miyoshi Changyi also felt that there was nothing he could do.

"Does my family really have to escape?" The elder of the important sect of the Miyoshi family paced back and forth, unable to make a decision. After all, he still had illusions and hoped that the army on the mountain would come back in time to rescue him.

His hesitation didn't last long, and the two backup teams of Mikawa, who had endured for a long time, opened fire. Among them, Gun Hanzo Watanabe Takasuna led two hundred elite ashigaru into the front and charged forward. He killed five warriors from Miyoshi's family in a short while, and then shouted: "Watanabe Gun Hanzo asks for five warriors from Miyoshi's family!"

The battle situation was changing rapidly. When Takatsuna Watanabe took advantage of the victory and rushed into the formation to kill several people in a row, Yoshitoki Kira's main formation was also moving forward. Naito was hanging on the saddle with a single bow and two pots of arrows. The bow was opened and closed as from time to time, any Miyoshi warrior who dared to approach the formation became the soul of his arrows.

The 60 Iron Cannons dispatched in an emergency also performed well. Takikawa Masushige commanded the Iron Cannons to fire salvos again and again. When facing Miyoshi's Ashigaru charge, he aimed his guns calmly. The shooting started at a distance of ten rooms. The thunderous vibrations covered the sky with smoke, and more than five or sixty people were killed in one round of salvo.

Miyoshi Changyi's army only lasted for two moments before it completely collapsed. Miyoshi Changyi, who hadn't figured out a way, could only flee in embarrassment with the remaining [-] troops in the direction of the army in the mountains. The defenders surrendered with less than [-] people killed in the short battle, which is really far behind the main formation of Shihe Yicun.

Yodogawa congregation ordered by Kira Yoshishishi to take charge of the captives, and a military meeting was held in Cizhao Temple. At this time, the roasted jade was also unloaded from the ship, and the jars of roasted jade were stuffed with cloth strips soaked in soil nitric acid solution. It is his secret weapon in this battle.

"The narrow and steep terrain on the mountain road is not suitable for large-scale battles, so after the battle, we must seize the advantage of firepower to defeat the Miyoshi family's army as much as possible! The arched foot light, iron artillery team, and roasted throwing team must cooperate to fight. The most important thing is to pay attention to protection, the infantry shield must be equipped, I just saw a lot of throwing away the infantry shield and charging, this is a wrong behavior, it must be strictly stopped, do you understand?"

Time was tight, and Yoshitoki Kira could only hold a simple map drawn by Hattori Hosaga and explain the tactical layout of the next battle in the Yuqiu Pavilion in Cizhao Temple.

The ashigaru people were busy making fire and boiling water to wash the wounds. The monks of Cizhao Temple also took out herbal medicines to bandage the wounded. The temple inhabitant and other masters were also his old acquaintances. This master is also No.80 IV of Xiangguo Temple Hosted, he allowed Kira Yoshishi to move the wounded to rest next to the pagoda forest in the temple, which allowed the monks in the temple to provide herbal medicine, boiling water and personnel assistance, which was of great help to Kira Yoshishi.

"We only have one hour of preparation time at most. The Miyoshi family will definitely react and rush down the mountain before dark. Now I want you to go back and make defensive arrangements. We must annihilate the Miyoshi family's army in this battle!" Ji Liangyishi warned.

"Yes!" All the retainers dispersed.

Tokiyuki Yamamoto came over and handed him a water bottle. Yoshitoki Kira took it and drank it with a "gudong gudong". The clear and sweet spring water flowed into his body and he felt refreshed. Close your eyes and rest your mind during the rest time.

On a quiet summer day, with a cool breeze of early autumn blowing on him, after a while, Kira Yoshihito said in a low voice: "Master, I don't know if I am doing this right or wrong, because my methods make many people feel uncomfortable. When people died, I saw them tearfully kill their dying companions, that scene was too cruel!"

"You are not wrong. You did a good job. It was better than I expected. I couldn't make a better choice than you." Tokiyuki Yamamoto took off his helmet and leaned against the stone pillar and reclined. The dust and gunpowder smoke had not yet been wiped away, and his gray hair was fluttering with the breeze. Only then did Yoshihiro Kira remember that he was already a 50-year-old man.

When Tokyuki Yamamoto looked at Kirayoshi in a daze, he said in a calm tone: "The troubled world is like a sea of ​​suffering, and the world is like a drowning person in the sea of ​​suffering. You and I are just one of these living beings, and we have to do it to survive... Don't be sad, you did a good job, as a warrior, you should be strong."

"I want to end this troubled world." Yoshihiro Kira pondered for a moment, then said: "I hate this troubled world, I really hate it!"
