The first thousand and forty-six chapters fierce battle in Nijo City
Ashikaga Yoshiki suddenly encountered a huge change, his entire family died, and he was trapped in a lonely city, feeling extremely confused.
She didn't even think about Shiba Yoshigan. When Takada Yukino sat in front of her, she suddenly realized that she still had a caring feeling.
The Ashikaga family was about to be destroyed. Before she died, she had to give an explanation to Yoshigoshi Shiba. After all, the two were destined to be together, and handing over the gold seal also showed her final thoughts.
I love you, but I don't know if you love me or not. But as long as you can still use the sword and the golden seal, you will never forget me.
Farewell, my fiancé.
Ashikaga Yoshiki had so many thoughts and didn't know how to explain it clearly to Takada Yukino, a stubborn little fool. Just as she was hesitating, there was a noise and chaos outside.
she asked sharply.
"what happened!"
A member of the public rushed into the meeting hall, bowed and said.
"Lord Gongfang! The three good troops have rushed up and surrounded the residence!"
"So fast?"
Ashikaga Yoshiki was a little surprised. Miyoshi's actions were so hasty that she didn't even have time to put on her armor.
The number of Feng Gong and Hatamoto Hime samurai who kept retreating into the residence hall was only more than thirty. Only a few wore kabutos and held long spears, while the others wore regular uniforms and carried swords.
Ashikaga Yoshiki laughed.
"Why panic! Since the enemy is here, let's fight here!"
———
Outside Ninomaru's residence, a Miyoshihime samurai bowed to Iwanari Tomomichi and said.
"Sir, our army encountered almost no resistance after entering the city, and all the Ashikaga warriors retreated into the residence.
We found the long spears abandoned in the middle of transportation. They probably didn't expect that our sudden attack was so fast and they didn't have time to put on their armor and hold their guns."
Yancheng Youdong Joy Road.
"Okay, very good! Surround the residence and send people in to persuade them to surrender.
Tell the public, as long as she is willing to accept the protection of the Mihaoshi family, I guarantee the safety of everyone in the residence."
"Hi!"
———
Ashikaga Yoshiki cut off the head of the Miyoshi envoy with one blow, wiped the blood stains on the blade with white silk, and said lightly.
"Throw her head out."
———
Looking at the envoy's head being thrown out, Iwanari Yudong's face turned blue and he ordered fiercely.
"When we attack, except Mr. Gongfang, everyone else will be waiting for life or death!
Remember! You must not hurt Mr. Gongfang! You can only capture him alive!"
"Hi!"
———
Nijo Castle is a military castle, and the castle tower serves as the main defense, so it is not comfortable to live in. Therefore, Ashikaga Yoshiki built another residence hall in Ninomaru.
The courtyard is the core of the residence, with the Lord's residence at the back and the meeting hall in the other courtyard. The comfortable living environment resulted in the residence lacking trenches, walls, gates, stone walls and other defensive facilities.
The Ashikaga Iehime samurai in armor and sharp swords blocked the door, while the rest of the monks in light clothes and armed with swords stood at the corner and in the narrow corridor, using their swords as much as possible to block the endless flow of Miyoshi's troops.
However, the advantage of the protective spear was too great. After a few armored warriors were killed in battle, Feng Gong was even forced to retreat by the Miyoshi Ashigaru holding a spear, and he screamed in anger.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru sat at the main seat in the meeting hall, listening to the sounds of killing getting closer and closer outside, and beside him sat the stubborn Yukino Takada kneeling.
She took one last look at the little fool, snorted coldly, picked up her sword, and walked out. Takada Yukino followed closely and walked out of the door together.
Feng Gong, who had previously persuaded the general, saw Ashikaga Yoshiki coming out, his face turned red, and he yelled.
"Goshoden! Onboard!"
She jumped at a Miyoshihime samurai with her sword. She couldn't break the enemy's body with her sword, so she bit her with her teeth and hammered him with her head.
The Miyoshi ashigaru around her were so afraid that they kept their distance and kept stabbing her body with their spears. She struggled to pull out her ribs and stabbed through the gap in her body, killing the enemy in front of her.
Ashikaga Yoshiki's eyes were red when she saw it. She rushed forward and cut off three spears with one knife, and stabbed the knife into the throat of the ashigaru in front of her.
All of her collections were famous swords, which were extremely sharp, and she was so frightened that Ashigaru backed away.
Behind Ashikaga Yoshiki, a Miyoshihime samurai hid in a blind spot and sneaked up, hoping to capture the general alive.
When she pounced on him just now, she felt so light and dizzy that she even saw her own body, which was now in a different place.
Yukino Takada decapitated the attacker with one blow, then used his legs to rush to Ashikaga Yoshiki's flank.
Several ashigaru were horrified and thrust out their spears, but Yukino Takada was faster and took advantage of the gap between the spears to cut off the trachea of the three of them with a single slash.
The three Ashigaru covered their necks and couldn't breathe. They fell to the ground in pain, their expressions distorted.
The two of them had superb swordsmanship and strong bodies. They used the obstacles in the courtyard to avoid the spears, and for a moment they actually had the upper hand.
It's a pity that the knife can't last long. After fighting for a while, it became a jagged blade. The two could only return to the meeting hall, change the knife and fight again.
Encouraged by Ashikaga Yoshiteru's example, the morale of the public was greatly boosted. They fought back and forth with the Miyoshi troops in the small courtyard in front of the assembly hall, and once drove the Miyoshi troops out.
Iwanari Tomomichi was anxiously running around outside. It was getting late, and who knew what new events would happen after nightfall.
Cruelly, she grabbed the reserve general beside her and shouted.
"Go and get the bowmen! Shoot! Shoot them!"
The reserve general glanced at Iwanari Tomomichi and disagreed. This gentleman was in charge of foreign affairs and internal affairs and was indeed not proficient in military matters.
"Sir, there are too many blind spots in the inner courtyard. As long as the enemy avoids them well, bows and arrows will not have much effect."
Iwanari Yudong cursed.
"Then what do you think we should do? It's going to get dark soon. We can't delay this matter any longer!"
The reserve general narrowed his eyes with a fierce look.
"Tear down the doors and tatami, remove the sliding doors and tatami from the surrounding rooms, and use them as shields. They only have swords and use shields and spears to force their way in!"
"good!"
Following Iwanari Tomomichi's order, the Ashigaru quickly took action and removed all the sliding doors and tatami mats from the surrounding houses.
They entered the inner court again, used the door panel to block the swords of the public, and then stabbed their bodies with spears from behind.
Feng Gong was so brave and fearless that they came to kill them, but they were unable to break through the door panel and shield. Even if they cut a corner with a knife, the spear sticking out from behind was far longer than their knives.
When the Ashigaru saw that the door panel shield was effective, their morale was immediately boosted, and they continued to squeeze the maneuver space of the public, stabbing them to death one by one.
Ashikaga Yoshiki was so angry that he rushed forward and cut open the sliding door with a knife. With her superb swordsmanship and sharp weapons, she cut the ashigaru behind the door in half with her sword, and her upper body rolled to the ground, wailing.
The surrounding ashigaru were so frightened that they retreated repeatedly. Several Hime warriors rushed up and tried to hit the general's legs with their spears. They did not dare to kill anyone and only wanted to be captured alive.
But before they could throw out their spears, a figure passed by, cutting off most of their heads and necks, and their bodies fell to the ground.
Takada Yukino defended himself in front of the general and spat out a mouthful of blood.
