At this time, Shibata's retainers all had sad smiles on their faces, smiled hard, and continued singing. Shibata Katsuie and Aichi had already climbed to the top of the castle tower filled with gunpowder.
"Aichi" Shibata Katsuie looked at the woman he had always dreamed of with some shame, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I failed. I'm such a waste!"
As he spoke, Shibata Katsuie slammed the wall with his huge fist: "I, I am so old that I will lose to a monkey."
"It doesn't matter. No one can guarantee that their wishes will come true. As the saying goes, things will backfire, so that's fine! We will be completely relieved." At this time, Aichi seemed to have felt that everything was in vain, and instead comforted Shibata Katsuie.
"No! No!" Looking at Aichi's clear eyes, Shibata Katsuie suddenly covered his head and cried loudly: "I can't let you die! Run away! The monkey will never make things difficult for you, nor will the old ministers of the Oda family.
Why are you so embarrassed? Go! Go!"
"No."
Although Ah Shi's voice was not high-pitched, his tone was unusually firm!
"What about the children? You have to think about your children!" Shibata Katsuie's tall body curled up into a ball at this time: "The children will be very miserable without their mother since they were young."
"I have sent the children to their uncle Xincheng. I made up my mind before you went on the expedition. If you fail, I will not live in this world anymore!"
"You! What are you"
I saw Ashi calmly and gently lighting a torch with her white and slender hands. The light of the torch illuminated the faces of the two people in the night sky.
"Miss Aichi!" At this time, Tokichiro, who was outside the city in the distance, saw this scene with a telescope. He was immediately shocked and sweating all over his body, shouting: "Quick! Attack the city quickly! Rescue Miss Aichi quickly!"
He was so angry that he paced back and forth: "She must not die! She must not die!" It turned out that Tokichiro was also a loyal admirer of Aichi.
Another reason is that Aichi is the sister of Oda Nobunaga. If he died by his own hands, it would be inevitable that a considerable number of the old generals of the Oda family would oppose him. Many of the old generals of the Oda family were unhappy with his appearance.
If Tianxian Aichi admires her very much and regards her as his goddess, if she died in Tokichiro's siege, many people would go crazy.
Just as Tokichiro was scratching his head and screaming, urging the soldiers to quickly engineer, he only heard a bang from the castle tower! The fire caused by the explosion seemed to overturn half of the sky!
Tokichiro felt as if his heart was about to burst. He suddenly grabbed a pawn next to him and threw him to the ground!
"Would you rather commit suicide than be with me?" Tokichiro's expression suddenly became ferocious at this time!
At this time, Takenaka Hanbei and several young generals hurried over to report: "General! All the resisters in the city have surrendered! All Shibata's retainers have been caesareaned!"
As he was speaking, he suddenly stopped and glanced at Tokichiro unnaturally, as if he was hesitant to speak.
"Having said that, I have seen everything." Tokichiro had calmed down at this time: After all, I am just a monkey in Miss Aichi's mind.
"Miss Aichi and Katsuie Shibata committed suicide by piling gunpowder on the castle tower and left their bodies in the capital."
Kinoshita Tokichiro suddenly stretched out a hand to stop him from continuing: "That's enough! I understand."
He stared at the bombed castle tower again, and said silently in his heart: "Since you would rather die than follow me, there is nothing I can do. Fortunately, there is still a world waiting for me to conquer."

"What? Monkey completely defeated Shibata?" Du Fei, who was far away in Shikoku, soon learned the result of the Battle of Jiyue. His face became solemn.
Oura asked in confusion: "Your Highness, why do you look so worried? Wouldn't it be better for you if Tokichiro becomes the overlord of Kinki?"
"This is not the key. Shibata Katsuie is dead. The key is that Miss Aichi has also died. Now the monkey's situation is not good!" Du Fei also keenly felt that this easily overlooked detail is likely to become Tokichiro's.
disaster!
"Are you talking about the Oda family's old ministers association?" Kahi Munun said with a smile: "It's not like Oda Nobutaka. He is Oda Nobunaga's biological son. I heard that he will be executed by a monkey if he doesn't?"
"Humph! You are thinking too simply!" Du Fei shook his head and said, "You don't know the influence of Miss Ashi on the old generals of Oda. All the old generals of the Oda family regarded her as the object of their admiration for Oda.
Can Nobutaka compare with her?"
Then he sighed and said: "The monkey is probably going to be in big trouble now."
Just as Du Feisui expected, a beautiful woman can cause a war, and the death of a beautiful woman can also cause a war!
Sasaki Naimasa, who was hiding in Iga country, immediately gathered nearly 4,000 resistance troops and began to look for bad luck from Kinoshita's army everywhere. Once they encountered a small group of Kinoshita's army, they would attack in groups. Once Kinoshita's army
When Tokichiro's army arrives, they will hide among the people, pretending to be farmers and businessmen, and harass Kinoshita Tokichiro miserable.
At the same time, Abeno, the old general of Oda in the Kitaomi Kingdom, Gosho Ryu no Sword and others also suddenly launched an attack. Together with Lin Xiuzhen of the Naya ancient city, they raised nearly 10,000 troops and occupied the present Hama Castle. Otani Castle fought against Tokichiro.
The attitudes of Sakuma Morinobu, Oda Nobuo and others who originally supported Tokichiro suddenly turned 180 degrees and suddenly announced that they had drawn a clear line with Tokichiro.
Just when Tokichiro was in dire straits, the Maori family of Aki Province stepped in again. He supported Oda's old general Uozumi Keigo and used Uozumi Castle as his base to recruit troops and gear up.
In desperation, Tokichiro had no choice but to ask Tokugawa Ieyasu and Du Fei from the former Iron Triangle Alliance for help in mediating. He could no longer deal with the situation.
Du Fei was very willing to help him, but Tokugawa Ieyasu was hard to find, and his reason was very good: "This is your Oda family's family matter, I can't control it!"
When he said this, it was difficult for Du Fei to come forward. Yes, the high-sounding reason of the Oda family's family affairs immediately made him clear and irrelevant, and by the way, Du Fei was also made clear.
Faced with Tokugawa Ieyasu's love, Tokichiro dared not speak out in anger, so he had to bite the bullet and run around, following Sasaki Narimasa and others every day to clean up the mess.
Du Fei was helpless at this time. The only thing he could do to help Monkey was what he was currently doing - to contain the Maori family.
The Mori family dared to get involved in the internal fighting of the Oda family at this time because of their solid foundation and because of the remoteness of their location. The Oda generals in Kinki were fearfully guarding their territory in this chaos.
They didn't dare to send troops so far away to find trouble for him.
During this time, Mr. Du Fei has been planning to take over the last piece of land in the Four Kingdoms that is not subordinate to him - Iyo Country.
The one who occupies Iyo country is the Kono family, a vassal state of the Mori family.
Although they have always been honest, Du Fei had no reason to put a potential enemy next to his territory.
So, under the cover of night, a capable troop wearing black military uniforms, even the armor and ashigaru hats were dyed black, quietly approached the Kono family like a panther trying to prey.
The outpost of Laidao City.
Since the Kono family surrendered to the Mori family, there has been no war. The defenders who came to the island city were about three thousand people, with good equipment and quality, but they were obviously a little lazy due to being apart from the battle array for a long time; it was still dark.
It was completely dark, and there were only a few patrol soldiers standing guard on the top of the city.
"Now is the time when the enemy troops are changing guard and resting. It is a good opportunity!" Kobata Kanbei covered his face with a mask and said to Du Fei: "Look at us! This level of defense is in our eyes
It’s almost like opening the city gates!”
After that, he led a large group of ninjas to quietly approach the city wall from the bushes and shadows. After a while, the base of the city wall of Lai Island City was already filled with people wearing night clothes and holding scratching hooks.
A sentry on the top of the city was angry. He lost a bet playing dice, so he had to help his companions guard the city wall for one more night. Thinking of his bad luck the day before yesterday, he was vomiting in frustration.
Standing for a long time made his knees a little sore. He finally couldn't help it, risking being scolded by the captain, and bent down to soften his knees.
Well, there are still six hours left and the last six hours are when you can go and rest.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a strange noise coming from the city wall! He couldn't help but look outside curiously, but the forest outside was quiet, and his waist was swaying gently with the wind, just like every izakaya.
Passenger whore
Just as he was about to return to his post, suddenly there was another "ding" sound on the city wall! This was obviously the sound of metal hitting the wall!
So he couldn't help but poke his head out
Unexpectedly, as soon as his head popped out, a hand suddenly covered his mouth! Then there was a flash of cold light! A sharp dagger slit his throat!
The sentry standing next to him suddenly heard a strange sound, which was like the sound of a rat being trampled to death and like a broken bellows leaking air.
He looked suspiciously towards the sentry post on his left, only to see that no one was there long ago.
"This Keita! He's being lazy again!" He immediately picked up the spear in his hand and strode over there.
