About a quarter of an hour later, Nizi Katsuhisa stood on a high post in the camp, watching anxiously as Urakami Munekage's troops quickly moved towards their own main formation. The Urakami family's troops were obviously disorganized, discarding their helmets and armor, and working together in twos and threes.
As they followed Urakami Munekage's horse prints, they were unable to resist the enemy in such a state. Behind them, the Ukita Nao family's troops quickly caught up, easily breaking down the resistance of the Ukita Nao family's rear troops.
"Hurry up, hurry up, let His Highness Urakami pass through, and the other people will form defenses to block the Ukita army! Ask Lord Hashiba for help, saying that the Ukita family has already attacked!" Katsuhisa Nizi was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead.
, watching helplessly as the distance between the Urakami Army and the Ukita Army gradually shortened, small groups of Urakami's troops were constantly being overtaken and devoured by the Ukita Army, which also caused chaos and restlessness in the Urakami Army. They simply fled in
Urakami Munekage, who was at the front, had already rushed into Nizi's camp with his Hatamoto guards and ran to Nizi Katsuhisa's side.
"Thank you for your generous action, His Highness Nizi!" When Urakami Munekei saw Nizi Katsuhisa, he knelt down to kowtow to thank him without saying a word, but Nizi Katsuhisa hurriedly stopped him, "Back then, my grandfather and the Urakami family had a master-slave relationship.
, Your Highness Urakami, please don’t do this.”
"I just regret that now that my country is ruined and my family is ruined, I have nothing to offer to His Highness Nizi to repay my kindness! When the Urakami family comes back to power in the future, there will be springs flowing to repay it!" Urakami Munekage kowtowed to Nizi Katsuhisa reluctantly.
, then hurriedly stood up and pointed at the Ukita Army chasing from the south, "It's just that Your Highness Nizi, the Ukita Nao family is coming fiercely, and our troops are no longer able to fight anymore. I'm afraid Nizi's army alone can't compete! What should this do?
good!"
"It's okay, the Yushiba family's reinforcements have arrived." Nizi Katsuhisa turned his head and glanced at the flags of the Yushiba Army. They had climbed onto the hills on both sides of the Nizi Army's position, condescendingly controlling the terrain. With them here, the Ukita Army
Nor did they dare to concentrate their forces on a fierce attack.
However, Nizi Katsuhisa suddenly noticed smoke rising from the Hashiba family's position, and then the sound of roaring iron cannons was heard.
"What's going on?" Nizi Katsuhisa turned back to the south in great surprise, "Have Ukita's army already come over? Isn't there still a little distance?"
Nizi Katsuhisa glanced at the Ukita Army's military situation. They had not yet advanced within the ultimate range of the iron cannon, and there were no signs of being attacked by the iron cannon. After being confused for a moment, Nizi Katsuhisa listened.
There were screams and exclamations coming from the camp. He and Urakami Munekage turned around together, only to see Urakami Army, who had just entered the camp with his front foot, just relaxed, and was knocked down by the iron gunner of Hashiba Army.
A lot of them were hit. Also hit were several Ashigaru members of the Nizi family.
"What are you doing?" Nizi Katsuhisa said angrily when he saw this. He pointed at Hidenchaga Hashiba's flag and yelled at the messenger beside him, "Go and ask Mr. Hashiba! What is he doing? Why is he heading towards friendly forces?
Fire!"
However, before the messenger came back, the iron gunners of the Yushiba Army once again fired condescendingly. At such a close distance, the iron gunners of the Yushiba Army on the hill above and behind Nizi's house were doing target practice without distinguishing between friend and foe.
They massacred the Urakami Army and accidentally injured several Nizi troops.
Soon after, I saw the messenger running back without stopping. When he dismounted, he even stumbled because of his anxiety, and rolled and crawled in front of Nizi Katsuhisa. Behind him, there was also a Yushiba.
Messenger of home.
"What's going on?" Nizi Shengjiu asked angrily, looking at the corpses on the ground and the panicked camp.
"Reporting to my lord, Master Yushiba said that they were attacking the Urakami Army! It was just that someone from our Nizi family stood too close to the Urakami Army, so they were accidentally injured." The messenger reported with an angry look on his face.
"What is he talking about? Didn't the Urakami army surrender? It's a friendly army! Didn't you report it before?" Nizi Katsuhisa was so angry that he shouted at the envoy who followed him.
"The latest information sent by His Highness Hashiba said that the Urakami family may have colluded with the Uki family, so they will not accept the Urakami family's surrender." The messenger bowed to Nizi Katsuhisa without being humble or condescending, and left after saying these words.
The attack on the Urakami family will not stop. Please ask the Nizi family to join the attack on the Urakami family immediately, otherwise it will be regarded as a foreign connection. If the Nizi family stands too close to the Urakami family, be careful of being accidentally injured."
"You are wronged, Your Highness Nizi!" Urakami Munekage panicked when he saw this, and kept pleading to Nizi Katsuhisa, "We have sworn hatred with the Ukita Nao family, how could we collude with the Ukita family? It is clearly the Hashiba family.
Spewing blood!"
"Ah...this..." Katsuhisa Nizi swallowed. The Hashiba Army's shooting continued. He didn't know what to do at this moment. If he continued to protect the Urakami family, wouldn't he be offending Hideyoshi Hashiba?
, will there be any good fruit to eat in the future? But if he is asked to drive out the Urakami family who have defected to him now, and swallow up all the promises he made just now that are quite affectionate and righteous, he will no matter what.
I can't help but look like this.
Just when he was hesitating, the Ukita Army had already attacked. Nizi's troops hurriedly rushed to the camp gate to resist, and finally blocked the Ukita Army. However, at this time, the Yushiba Army's bullets came from behind, directly
The defenders at the gate were reduced to less than half. The Ukita Army took the opportunity to rush into the camp. The Nizi Army, which was attacked from both sides, retreated one after another, with increasing casualties. The Urakami Army struggled to cover the Nizi Army, but they encountered the Yushiba Army's shooting without distinguishing between ourselves and the enemy.
"Are you crazy? Are you still beating us?" Nizi Shengjiu looked at the tragic scene in front of him with his eyes full of blood, and the Yushiba Army attacking the friendly forces high on the hills. Bad memories immediately came back. Those were the two encounters between Nizi's Renaissance Army.
A scene of friendly betrayal.
"Your Highness, the Ukita family has sent an envoy!" At this moment, the Ukita army's offensive suddenly stopped for a moment, and then they saw a knight on horseback with the word "son" on the flag flying over.
Not far away, Katsuhisa and Urakami Munekage reined in their horses and shouted loudly: "Your Highness, Nizi, Your Highness Urakami, your Majesty. My Highness said, it's not too late to abandon the darkness and turn to the light! Haven't you seen that Hideyoshi Hashiba has no idea at all?"
I don't intend to leave you a way to survive. No matter if you surrender or fight, everyone who is not him will die! Don't you understand? Join us now and fight our way out together to still have a glimmer of hope!
When the Maori reinforcements arrive, we will fight back to the territory!"
"Your Highness Nizi, don't listen to the nonsense of the Uki family!" Upon seeing this, Urakami Munekage immediately said urgently, "They all have bad intentions!"
"Yes, my lord, we can't join the Maori family under any circumstances! If we turn to the Uki family now, not only will the territory that Shangyue City worked hard for more than ten years be lost, but we will also have to cooperate with the Maori family.
! Cooperate with the Maori family? How can we explain to so many brothers who died!" When the elders of the Nizi family heard this, they all became excited, and one voice became louder than the other, "I will never cooperate with the Maori family!"
However, as if to pour cold water on them, the Hashiba Army on the hills once again roared with iron cannons. And this time, the iron cannons fired directly towards Urakami Munekage. The two elders of the Urakami family were killed on the spot.
Beaten to death, one of the elders of Nizi's family was also beaten to death in the chaos.
"Didn't Hideyoshi Hashiba just say that he was undecided and wanted to ask Hideyoshi for advice? Why are he being beaten so hard now? Can't the friendly forces see it? Is he attacking the Urakami family? He wants to kill our Nizi family!"
Nizi Shengjiu, who was still in shock, looked at the loyal retainer lying beside him and felt that his heart was going to explode. "I didn't expect that the cunning rabbit would cook the running dog before he died? Is this going to destroy our Nizi family?"
Have all the people been killed? The last time we borrowed knives to kill people in Shangyue City, they didn't trick us to death. This time, we are going to do it ourselves?"
Before Nizi Shengjiu finished speaking, another round of bullets came.
"Fight back!" Nizi Katsuhisa couldn't bear it anymore and shouted an order to his men, "Kill Hideuchi Hashiba! Beat them to death!"
Under the order of Nizi Katsuhisa, the Nizi family, who had long been fed up with backstabbing by friendly forces, immediately roared and fired back at Hashiba Hideucha's headquarters with bows, arrows and iron cannons. Everyone was killed with red eyes. Nizi Katsuhisa didn't pay attention.
Well, just now the Urakami Army, which had been protesting against cooperating with the Ukita family, had joined forces with the Ukita Army and was heading towards the Hashiba Army.
However, Hashiba Hidenaga didn't seem to be willing to fight. After seeing the Nizi family starting to fight back, he immediately withdrew from the hills on both sides and retreated towards the mountains on the east and west sides. However, the Nizi family did not dare to pursue it, because Tenjin Mountain
At this moment, the flag of the Hashiba Army was hoisted at the top of the city wall, and the main force of the Oda Army was already chasing north.
"What should we do now?" Even though Nizi Katsuhisa had just beaten Yu Chaijun severely and avenged the backstab just now, when his blood gradually sank and Nizi Katsuhisa calmed down, he felt like he was falling into an abyss.
.He just attacked the Hashiba Army, and even if he didn't want to, he is now on the side of the Maori family. He is unwilling to cooperate with his former enemies no matter what.
What's even worse is... he has offended the Oda family, which is in full swing. The Mori family seems unable to defeat the Oda family no matter what, so whether the Nizi family can survive in the future is a question.
Not to mention it's far away, what should we do now? Return to Kamigetsu Castle? Go back now, maybe you can defeat Hideyoshi Hashiba's counter-rebellion faster. But Katsuhisa Nizi has seen with his own eyes the devastating attack of Jingzhebei.
How can the small Shangyue City and his troops of less than 2,000 men stop them? If they don’t return to Shangyue City, the 50,000 koku territory will be gone, and Nizi’s family will be homeless again.
"Your Highness Nizi, let's flee to the north!" Just when Nizi Katsuhisa fell into despair, Urakami Munekage rode up behind him at some unknown moment.
"North?" Nizi Shengjiu asked loudly in confusion, "Where are you going to the north?"
