The news that Tokawa Issun was wanted to die spread throughout the battlefield almost instantly, and the Miyoshi army began to collapse. However, the Omi people did not intend to let them go. The two thousand Omi people who came to cover up the killings fought back, forcing Miyoshi.
The army could only flee to the south. The mountain castle across the Kamogawa River had long been chased by the iron artillery team that had abandoned its boats. The navy was chasing them with no way out. Kyoto, which was so close at hand, had its gates closed and was desperate.
The people in the mountain city chose to surrender immediately.
The most amazing thing is Ise Sadataka. This guy was chased by 800 people and abandoned his food, grass and baggage, and even the armor and samurai swords on his body. Then the former political office deacon fled to Shoryuji Castle with only a small number of followers.
Three thousand Omi warriors were divided into ten formations and nine were wiped out. Only half of the remaining formations gritted their teeth and persisted until the end. When the Mikawa samurai charged, they all knelt down and howled. These people cried so sadly.
It was so painful that it seemed that what was shed in the eyes was not tears but blood, and the wails and cries were endless.
There are still many wounded who have lost their fighting power lying on the battlefield. If they were Miyoshi soldiers, they would be stabbed immediately and then their heads cut off. The whole process was cold and boring. Now no one wants to take credit for their reward. Some older samurai
While cutting off the head of the Miyoshi samurai, he shook his head and said: "It's so miserable! It's so miserable!"
What I saw on the battlefield really confirmed Kira Yoshiki's prediction. The whole place was like a Shura field. The ground was flooded with bright red and dark brown bloodstains. The crows that heard the wind landed not far away and carefully looked at the movements on the battlefield. They were
Nature's scavengers, although dead bodies will be burned collectively, there are always some debris and debris that can be used cheaply.
Some Omi members who were lucky enough to survive would be immediately helped and sent to the rear for treatment. However, some people's injuries were too serious. Those who were seriously injured and on the verge of death and there was no way to save them would have to be surrounded by a group of people kneeling down.
There, I sent him on his way while singing nursery rhymes from his hometown.
Kira Yoshishi rested for a while and then rode his mount to inspect the battlefield again. He happened to encounter this scene during his inspection. In the distance, five or six military men surrounded a man crying in a low voice. When he walked forward, he heard the man lying on the battlefield.
The man on the ground said: "Uncle Torasuke, help me tell my mother that I, Yaheisuke, did not desert. I kept my oath. I am proud to be able to protect everyone. It is a pity that I can't look at my mother again."
..." As he spoke, blood foam began to pour out of Yaheisuke's mouth, and then he took his last breath.
"Yahei Suke! I remember that boy's name, but I didn't expect him to be dead too..." Kira Yoshi stood silently, silently looking at a group of wailing men, including the opponent.
Yahei assisted the military officers who enforced the military law. They cried so sadly and so angry. Kira Yoshiki didn't know whether what he did was right or wrong. He had won the victory he expected, but he was not happy at all in his heart.
stand up.
"Give Yahei Suke a grand burial!" After saying a few words to the man behind him, Yoshitoki Kira left this sad place on horseback.
The first post-war inspection ended in a hurry. No one had the intention to look at the severed heads. The corpses were burned with a fire, and the remaining heads were kept for the general to examine. Kira Yoshitomo was still there at this time.
There are more important things to do, so call everyone for a military meeting.
"Why is there still a military meeting? Shouldn't a post-war evaluation meeting be held?" Many people did not understand what this meant, but what Yoshitoki Kira said next surprised everyone.
"What? You want to continue fighting? And you still want to fight Sanhao Changyi? Master! Please think twice!"
"Please think twice!" The remaining Omi samurai all bowed down. Their losses were too heavy. Three thousand people were killed. Although the total number of injured was less than 500, more than half of them were slightly injured during the final pursuit.
Injured, but this battle almost knocked out the last bit of their morale, so sending troops now is really a bit overwhelming.
"I made the decision after careful consideration. As I said before the war, defeat is self-defeat, and only defeat is a small victory! Now I have won a small victory, and I still want to win a big victory!
If Miyoshi Choitsu is not defeated, Kyoto will be in trouble! The shogunate will be in trouble! Miyoshi's army can regroup at any time. Miyoshi Choitsu is a sharp knife inserted into Kyoto's heart. This battle must be fought and must be won. If not won, it will be destroyed!" Kira Yoshi
The voice was sonorous and powerful, making everyone feel heartbroken.
This was discussed with Yamamoto Tokiyuki before the war. If you don’t move, you must win with one move. You must seize this time difference. Once Miyoshi Changitsu reacts, he will definitely lose. Of course, this assumption is only among several sets of plans.
A kind of paranoid guy like Kira Yoshitoki who firmly believes in a quick victory. Now is the best opportunity to beat Miyoshi Choitsu with a time difference. If you miss this opportunity, it will be too difficult to defeat Miyoshi Choitsu who is on guard.
"So! Although I know that you are very tired, please persevere despite the difficulties! As long as you win this battle, I will personally take credit for you!" Kira Yoshitsune's will was too firm, and the people of the country tried to persuade him to no avail. In addition, he just
With a victory, Kira Yoshitoki's prestige increased significantly, and in the end he had no choice but to approve his proposal.
In the afternoon, when they buried the pot to make rice, Kiragi ordered the navy to catch river fish and make soup to reward the soldiers. He also brought several large wooden boxes of copper coins and said to the soldiers: "This is the reward for this battle. The armor and bamboo were caught randomly."
The gun can be sold to me at a discount based on its quality, and we guarantee that every ashigaru who participates in the war will receive a reward."
"Oh! Kira-sama is such a good man!" The Ashigaru people fought desperately to obtain the dividends of the war, so random arrests and rewards were indispensable. How many heads were chopped off would be exchanged for rewards. When Kira Yoshihide was
However, he had promised that as long as he went out into battle, he would be rewarded. He never liked to be sloppy in doing things, so he fulfilled it on the spot.
Then he announced a shocking news: "In addition, I want to announce that the families of all those who died in the war can receive a compensation of money, two stones of rice, and a piece of cloth. Any penny earned during their lifetime will be given to them."
My family, after the war, the elders of each village will be responsible for handling this matter."
"Ah! Your Highness Kira is saying that you will be rewarded even if you die in battle? This... this... is such a good person! Sansuke! Did you hear that? You are also rewarded! We did not go through life and death for His Highness Kira in vain! Woo hoo...
"But after a while there was a lot of crying in the military camp, and then some people put down their food and knelt down.
These big bosses wiped away the tears on their faces and said quickly: "Thank you for your grace, His Highness Kira! I, Taro of Futaki Village, are willing to die for Lord Kira!"
"Me too! Heiji from Uehara Village is also willing to die for Lord Kira!" Someone took the lead and immediately started a chain reaction, but within a short time everyone fell to their knees.
"Everyone, please get up, please get up... I, Kira Yoshitoki, have one more thing to ask of you!" Seeing the ashigaru people listening to his speech quietly, Kira Yoshitoki suddenly said loudly: "Please follow me.
Let's go out again! There is still the last Miyoshi family's military force in Kyoto. As long as they are defeated, all enemies in Kyoto will be eliminated. We must completely defeat the Miyoshi family and put an end to this evil invasion!
After the war is over, I will erect a tombstone here to commemorate my comrades who died in the war. I will invite Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine and Kyoto Kamo Bere Rai Shrine to pray for them. I will also invite Toji Temple, Shokokuji Temple,
The eminent monks of Daitoku Temple and Miaoshin Temple prayed for the war dead! In the future, our family will also petition the imperial court to request pardons and give the war dead a decent status. Your names will go down in history and your achievements will be praised by future generations. Your descendants will use this
To be proud of you, please feel free and bold to follow me into battle!"
"Ha! Can the dead comrades still be prayed for and saved? Can we also be remembered in history? This is really... great!" The Ashigaru people were so happy that they knelt down and thanked them again and again.
