Chapter 231 Martyrdom
"Your Highness, what are your plans?" Before the attack, Keidu Amano asked in a low voice to Yu Qiupi.
"What are your plans?" Yu Qiuping asked in surprise.
"Are you planning..." Masayuki Sanada who was walking beside him took over the conversation, "I'll have to fight for a few things... or..."
Yu Qiuping frowned and looked at Chang Panbei who was following him. The morning battle did not cause many casualties to them who had experienced many battles. Only six people were killed and twenty-five people were injured. Everyone's condition should be fine now. Yu Qiuping understood that Amano Kyoto and Sanada Masayuki felt that Yu Qiuping might be out of selfishness, and did not want to take ruthless measures against their former colleagues, nor did they want their subordinates to pay too many meaningless casualties.
Yu Qiuping looked at Tianshou Pavilion, which was shouting and shouting for killing, and sighed. Uetang Nagato had been resisting for several hours, but had no intention of surrendering. Yu Qiuping already understood that he would be loyal to the Imakawa family until the last moment as he did in his previous life.
"Let's just let's build the Tianshou Pavilion," Yu Qiuping shook his head gently, "At least... we can make His Highness Yudian die a little more decent."
Amano Keito and Sanada Masayuki looked at each other and were speechless.
"I know what you are thinking," Yu Qiuping turned around, "Of course I won't suffer major casualties for this, I'm not a fool."
"They are attacking Oda Nobunaga's direct troops," Yu Qiuhei called out his lord's name, but did not have much respect. "They just started attacking and will definitely not retreat easily, but will continue to fight for a while."
"Do you remember how the Hojo family attacked me when I was trapped in the Tenshou Pavilion of the Immiya Castle?" Yu Qiuping suddenly smiled.
"Your Highness's meaning..." Sanada Masayuki frowned, "Use the cloud ladder to directly attack the top leaders of Tianshou Pavilion?"
"That's right." Yu Qiuping nodded, "Go and let everyone carry the ladder over."
·
Oda Nobunaga's direct troops were indeed as Yu Qiuhei expected, and were unwilling to retreat so quickly. Yu Qiuhei also took advantage of them to attract the attention of the Tianshou Pavilion and carried the ladder through the residential area in the city to block the sight. When the distance was about the same, Tobababe suddenly carried the ladder and appeared from four directions of the Tianshou Pavilion. The Imakawa family samurai, stationed on the second floor, were busy fighting with the Oda family samurai on the lower floor, while the Imakawa family samurai on the third floor, had been fighting for a long time to change it to rest. They were exhausted and did not have too high vigilance about the ladder that appeared. It was not until Takababe's troops rushed to the front that they realized something was wrong.
"Your Highness!" A general of the attendant reported to the long shot of the Yuqiuping Palace with vigilance: "The rebellious subordinate of Yuqiuping seems to have abnormal movements!"
After nearly half an hour of fighting, the blood-covered Yudian Changzhao was leaning against the corner of the third floor house to rest. When he heard something unusual, he immediately lifted it and walked towards the corridor. When he walked to the corridor, he was stunned. Chang Panbei's Red Leaf soldiers had already rushed to the four directions of Tianshou Pavilion with cloud ladders. They had stopped and were setting up the cloud ladders on the corridor on the third floor of Tianshou Pavilion!
Ueden Nagata swallowed his saliva and immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. He didn't say much, and immediately called out the samurai footballers who were exhausted and replaced and came to defend in the open-air corridor.
After a while, four ladders were shot on the outer wall of the corridor one after another. Yudian Changzhao immediately tried to push the ladder out of the wall. However, since almost everyone had no strength, they just retreated the ladder in the south. In the east and west directions, the Red Leaf soldiers had already jumped on the ladder, and the huge weight made it unrealistic to push the ladder out.
而与此同时,旁边的织田军也意识到了雨秋平的攻击意图,池田恒兴等和雨秋平关系不错的织田家将领也立刻召集部下,对天守阁三层进行弓箭射击.原本没想到战斗会变成这样局面的今川家根本没有准备弓箭,难以抵抗织田家的弓箭压制.而随着本多忠胜,吉岗胜政,福岛安成三人带领着的常磐备足轻登上三楼,已经劳累不可的今川家武士难以抵挡,被大量射倒或是砍倒在走廊上,残存的人则在鹈殿长照的带领下,退回三层的室内.而二楼还在抵抗的今川家足轻武士们也失去了退路,腹背受敌之下,被全歼在了二楼.
After Yu Qiuping ensured safety in the corridor on the third floor, he personally climbed the corridor through the ladder. The door of the conference room on the third floor of Tianshou Pavilion was closed, and people could vaguely flashed through the shadows to see the situation inside.
"There are about seven or eight people left." Fukushima Ansei walked to Yu Qiuhei and reported to him. "Does your highness have any instructions? But should he command the strong attack?"
"Did anyone have any casualties when we attacked just now?" Yu Qiuping asked.
Fukushima Ansei was stunned for a moment, nodded slightly, "Four people died in battle."
"Then stop fighting..." Yu Qiuping felt a pain in his heart, "You are all good subordinates who are willing to follow me in the family. I feel uncomfortable every time someone falls."
"Then your Highness..." Fukushima Ansei said uneasy: "It's not good to retreat like this. It may leave your strength to keep yourselves and have an impression of the Imakawa family."
Yu Qiuping sighed, and he suddenly realized that he had sighed very often recently. He shook his head at Fukushima Ansei, then waved his hand, and made another gesture of silence, signaling the subordinates of Takababa who were in the corridor to calm down.
When the corridor environment gradually became quiet, Yu Qiuping took a step forward a little and kept a safe distance from the gate of the evaluation room. Then, he said in a strange tone: "Your Highness, Yudian."
He paused, but chose to bow to the gate with his fists, "Yu Qiuping asked for a meeting."
The sound was not high, but Yu Qiuping believed that the long photos of the Yu Hall inside the door must be heard.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, a curse sounded from the door. "Rebellious! Have a good face to speak!" "Hongye traitor! Come in and fight to the death!" The curses were endless. The Redye soldiers in the corridor could hear clearly, and everyone was angry. Honda Tada and Katsumasa Yoshigang frowned, and they were about to go up and fight to the death. Naoe Tadaihei and Masao Sanada hurriedly stopped the two of them.
After a long time, the scolding gradually stopped, and the third floor returned to peace. The Oda family directly under the command of the second floor seemed to be very dissatisfied with Yu Qiuping's delay and had sent people to urge Yu Qiuping to speed up the attack, otherwise they would be willing to do it for them.
A moment later, a somewhat tired voice sounded inside the door.
"Open the door." Yudian Changshao whispered.
·
The door was opened and the situation inside the house was clear at a glance. There were only seven samurai still standing, and two samurai in the house fell in a pool of blood. It was probably not long after they died. The long-shot of Yudian was covered in blood. The armor on his right arm had been removed and surrounded by the dyed red bandage grass several times. A big hole was cut open at the corner of his eyes, and the blood was still flowing slowly. The bun on his head was also a little scattered, black and casual.
The ground was placed on his face with a solidified blood clot. Several feather arrows were inserted in the armor in front of him, probably the one who had just been shot. His left hand holding the knife was also covered in blood, and blood kept flowing out of his sleeves. The few people beside him were probably his flag-born warriors, and everyone was injured. Although he was about to die, there was no compassion or despair in their eyes, but they were full of pride and resentment towards Yu Qiuping.
"Your Highness of Ueden." Yu Qiuping felt trembling when he saw the miserable situation in front of him. The warriors beside Ueden Changzhao, and two of them were received by him and Taehyung of Asahina when they ran to Takugawa City, which made him feel even more uncomfortable.
"Between the enemy and me, just call Ue Palace Changzhao." Ue Palace Changzhao said coldly.
Yu Qiuping's Adam's apple squirmed violently and lowered his head slightly, "I am just..."
"But I don't respect rebellion." Ueden Nagata interrupted without hesitation.
"Your Highness!" Yu Qiuping's emotions suddenly became excited, "I am not rebellious! I am really not rebellious! The death of Your Highness of the family governor has nothing to do with me! If it weren't for being exiled, I would..."
Yu Qiuhei was about to say loudly, "I won't join the enemy Oda family," but suddenly realized that the second floor and Tianshou Pavilion were filled with samurai from the Oda family. If this was said, it would be over. The words were already to his mouth, but he swallowed them back.
"Nothing can't be done either?" Uedan Nagato obviously understood Yu Qiuping's words. He snorted disdainfully, shook his head, and said coldly: "If you join the enemy, what's the point of rebellion?"
Yu Qiuping was stunned, trying to refute, but didn't know what to say.
"The body of the governor of the family is not cold, and His Highness Sezuna exchanges your life for death." Uetang Nagato suddenly exploded, and said sternly in an evil tone: "First abandon Ozawa and provoke a civil war! Then he exchanged support for the Matsue family independence, and threw away Sanhe! Finally, he fought in the territory of Tonori! After being defeated, he immediately surrendered to the enemy. That was the enemy who killed the governor of the family, and then led the enemy to attack the Imagawa family! What do you want to harm the Imagawa family? Do you treat the two late nobles like this? Are you worthy of the Imagawa family? Are you worthy of Princess Maple? Are you worthy of the two His Highnesses' Spirit of Heaven? Beast!"
Yu Qiuping never talked much. Yu Qiuping had never seen Yu Xiaozhao say such a long sentence in one breath, which shows that he was extremely angry.
"You have captured Dagao City, you are broken with the Imakawa family." Uetang's eyes were covered with blood. He crossed the place where Yu Qiuping was and looked straight out of the door, in the open space outside the Tianshou Pavilion. There was Yu Qiuping's horse seal - the maple bird flag.
"You are worthy..." Udo Nagata was about to raise the knife and point it at the maple bird flag. The severe pain in his left hand made him gasp and the knife fell weakly. He paused, took a deep breath, used all his strength, raised his bloody hands, and pointed two fingers at the maple bird flag outside the Tianshou Pavilion. "Are you worthy of the flag given to you by His Highness the Family Superintendent? Are you worthy of the great kindness and virtue of His Highness the Family Superintendent to you? You are not worthy of being a retainer of the Imagawa family!"
Yu Qiuping stood there blankly, unable to say a word. Faced with the awe-inspiring righteousness of Ueden Naota, who is truly a loyal retainer of the Imakawa family, Yu Qiuping was really ashamed of herself. Yes, he could also cut off his stomach or die for his master. But he couldn't...
I want to avenge my nobleman for my family!
Yu Qiuping hopes that he can shout this sentence loudly, tell Nagato Urhān, and tell these loyal ministers and generals of the Imagawa family that he is not rebellious! He has not been sorry for His Highness to the Imagawa family! He has not been sorry for His Highness to the Imagawa family! All he thinks about is revenge for His Highness to the Imagawa family!
However, among so many subordinates of the Oda family, he couldn't say anything.
Or... he dare not say it out loud. Because revenge may just be his excuse to live a life of silence? Is it his excuse to be afraid of death?
Every word that Yudian long-showed was cut into his heart like a knife. The anger that was always light behind him gradually faded away, and replaced by deep powerlessness and sadness.
The long-time Yu Palace looked at Yu Qiuping's face and kept fighting against heaven and man, and shook his head contemptuously. He took off his tidy parts in a few seconds, knelt down slowly, and used his scarred left hand to awkwardly pull out the rib gap between his waist and aimed at his abdomen.
"Your Highness..." Yudian Changzhao said this sentence in a dreamy way, looking at the sky.
"I can't do anything and can't defend Dagao City. I haven't completed your order, so I'll apologize to you in person."
After saying that, he slowly closed his eyes and stabbed the rib into his abdomen. As he slides horizontally, blood continues to flow out with the blade. His facial features are constantly twisted due to the pain, and beads of sweat are also flowing down his cheeks.
"Your Highness," Yu Qiuping couldn't bear to see that, and couldn't bear to endure the pain anymore, so he finally said, "I'll help you introduce it."
After saying that, he took out the Chidori given by Imakawa Yoshimoto and walked forward slowly.
Suddenly, as if he had noticed the sound of footsteps, Nagata Uedan immediately stopped his hand and widened his eyes. Bloodstained's eyes were full of hatred and contempt, staring at Yu Qiuping tightly.
"Rebellious! You are not worthy!" Yudian Changzhao roared. He pulled out the rib cage that pierced into his abdomen, and pierced the rib cage again over the wound of "一" that was crossing. He aimed at the wound of "一" and cut it down fiercely vertically.
Thousand-text cut.
The internal organs and blood burst out from the abdomen. Nagata Uedan endured the severe pain and did not shout. The blood kept flowing out of the corner of his mouth. He shook for a moment, and he was about to be unable to hold on and fell to the side.
At the last moment of his life, he shouted loudly at Yu Qiuping, as if he was facing the maple bird flag behind Yu Qiuping, and at the red bird horse seals that were upside down on the maple bird flag:
"For the Imakawa family!"
Yu Qiuping's tears instantly burst out from his eyes, and he suddenly knelt in front of the long-distance of the Yu Palace.
The six warriors around saw that Ueden Nagata had died of septum, and they unbuttoned their armor, knelt on the ground, facing Ueden Nagata, and used the same cruel words to understand their lives.
"For the Imakawa family!" the samurai who had received Yu Qiuhei shouted.
"For the Imakawa family!" another samurai who had broken his hand shouted.
"For the Imakawa family!" A loud shouted out their last oath in their lives, and the name of the martial family that had resounded throughout the world since the Southern and Northern Dynasties.
"For the Imakawa family!" A heart-wrenching shout seemed to be pride proving his unswerving loyalty to the late family governor.
"For the Imakawa family!" That was a slogan that he could also shout proudly, that was the three words that made him dream of, that was his proud belonging. Now, every roar was like a sledgehammer, hammering heavily on Yu Qiuping's heart.
"For the Imakawa family!" Until the last blow, Yu Qiuping, who was crying, fainted directly.
Chapter completed!
