Nobunaga is a witch

Chapter 97 097

That night, the retainers and soldiers of the Oda family, under the order of the leader Oda Nobunaga, quickly made preparations for the battle. The vanguard of this mission was Oda Nobunaga's beloved retainer, Mitsuhide Akechi. ---

Amongst the bellflower flags everywhere, Akechi Mitsuhide sat in it, quietly waiting for his subordinates to prepare for battle.

The night wind in autumn is already cool, blowing over people's faces and cooling people's hearts.

Akechi Mitsuhide closed his eyes quietly, perhaps before that his mind was complicated, but at this moment, he gradually calmed down under the evening wind.

He was originally a person who would never allow himself to go back on his word after making up his mind, and he had the tenacity of not looking back even if he bumped into the south wall, not to mention, he didn't want to go back on his word.

He is willing to use all his strength to stand in front of the lord, even if he pays a more serious price than his life.

I don't want to regret it, and I won't regret it.

Akechi Mitsuhide didn't wait for a long time, and soon after his subjects had sorted out all the armaments, they quickly reported, "Your Highness, the preparations for the battle are ready."

"Yeah." Akechi Mitsuhide opened his eyes, his eyes were neither sad nor happy, which made this elegant general feel as cold as ice. He stood up, and slightly adjusted the sword at his waist, "Then get ready." Let's go out."

"Your Highness," the person kneeling on the ground hesitated, "but, this time, the place where your lord ordered to go out is Mt. Hiei." That is the holy mountain of Buddhism, and there are countless eminent monks and Buddha statues.Such a place is such a sacred place for Buddhist believers.

Akechi Mitsuhide glanced over, and said in a calm tone, "Since your lord has given the order to go out, we just need to execute it." They are the sharp swords in your lord's hand, and they will cut off whatever your lord orders them to cut off. What.

If you get rid of all distractions, it is such a simple matter.

After a moment of silence, the man looked up angrily, "Your Highness, no matter where your lord wants us to attack, I will never hesitate in the slightest. I am not greedy for life and afraid of death, but Mt. Hiei is a sacred mountain of Buddhism. We really, Can it really attack?"

Akechi Mitsuhide's eyes didn't fluctuate at all, at this moment, he actually looked a bit like Oda Nobunaga, "Isn't it because he is afraid of death?"

As if being humiliated, the man changed his posture and knelt down on his legs, and directly pulled his clothes away, "I would like to use seppuku as a proof, and I am definitely not afraid of death." A samurai fought on the battlefield and died on the battlefield. There is nothing to say, "But Your Highness, attacking a Buddhist temple is not about fear of death."

That is a more terrifying result than death.

Akechi Mitsuhide glanced at him coldly, "So, are you going to die to show your will?" He stepped forward and asked, "Would you rather die than follow the orders of the lord?"

No one knows what kind of turmoil and sadness is in the heart of Mitsuhide Akechi at this moment.

That was the subordinate he swore to follow, who had accompanied him through countless fights, and had never been greedy for life or afraid of death.He...had never doubted the other party's loyalty, but at this moment, he couldn't care less.

For the command of the lord, he had to make up his mind.

"Your Highness." The man's knife was already in his hand and pressed against his stomach, his voice was hoarse and filled with grief and anger, "No, I never thought of disobeying the Lord's orders. ---"

That is also the lord that he respects and respects, as long as it is the lord's order, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire in front of him, he will not frown.

The next moment, Akechi Mitsuhide stepped forward and knocked off the dagger in the man's hand, "Since you are not afraid of death, then follow me and attack Mount Hiei." Reflected by the torch, Akechi Mitsuhide's always clear and gentle eyes brought With the determination to see through everything but never look back, "I will take the lead and walk in the front." No matter what retribution or punishment is, he will bear it all.

The man and Akechi Mitsuhide looked at each other for a moment, then bowed deeply, "Hi, hi."

Leading his retainers, Akechi Mitsuhide went straight to Mount Hiei in the dark.

The monks and soldiers of Enryakuji Temple on Mt. Hiei were not prepared to be attacked.Even though Oda Nobunaga sent countless harsh letters before, they didn't take it seriously.

Who would dare to risk the disapproval of the world to attack the holy mountain of Buddhism? Even if they say they don't believe in Buddhism, in such an era, there is more or less awe of the gods and Buddhas that everyone believes in.Even if they dare not directly make enemies of religious forces, no one dares to do so.

But when they didn't expect, in this world, there is a person who doesn't worship gods, doesn't worship Buddha, doesn't believe in karma, hell and heaven, she dares to be an enemy of the whole world, and tramples gods and Buddhas under her feet.

Those who stand in her way, gods block and kill gods, and Buddhas block and kill Buddhas.

So when Mitsuhide Akechi led his troops to attack the gate of Mt. Hiei, they were completely caught off guard.

In a panic, they couldn't even organize an effective counterattack.

Akechi Mitsuhide kept Zhang Xiuya's face cold, commanded the troops in the headquarters, and launched an attack in an orderly manner, breaking through the mountain gate and raiding the mountain.

Under his leadership, after the initial hesitation, the Zhizhi Army gradually cleared away obstacles as if they were on an ordinary battlefield. The monks and resisters, step by step, the gate of Mount Hiei was stained with blood, and it was never the same as before. the tranquility.

It can be said that Akechi Mitsuhide did a good job as a pioneer, and his offensive speed is not slow.

But the Oda Army has always been known for its speed. When Mitsuhide Akechi and the monk soldiers from Mount Hiei fought, other follow-up troops also arrived one after another.

For example, Oda Nobunaga was born in the army directly under him, and he ran with his retainers even comparable to Kinoshita Hideyoshi, an elite army led by Oda Nobunaga himself.

Immediately afterwards, other important ministers of the Oda family gathered in Mount Hiei.

After Kinoshita Hideyoshi ran up the mountain with people to join Mitsuhide Akechi, most of Mount Hiei had already fallen into the hands of the Oda Army.

But things didn’t work out that way. Oda Nobunaga’s request was never just to capture Mount Hiei, the main mountain of Mount Hiei. Under the fierce attack of the Oda Army, it was simply vulnerable.

What Oda Nobunaga wanted was written in the letter she sent to Mount Hiei before. If she did not hand over the people they hid, she would burn down the fundamental central hall and Sanno 21 Society of Enryakuji Temple in Mount Hiei.

She did what she said, and the fundamental central hall of Enryakuji Temple and the Sanno 21 Society will inevitably be reduced to ashes today.

So capturing Mt. Hiei was just the beginning, and there was something the Oda Army had to do.

According to the order of Oda Nobunaga, burn down Enryaku-ji Temple on Mount Hiei.

Although this was the order of Oda Nobunaga, when these people actually stood in front of the magnificent nunnery in this era, everyone hesitated.

It is one thing to kill those monks and soldiers, but it is another thing to actually set fire to the Buddhist hall.

Anyway, many people in this era have fought Yixiang Yikui, and Yixiang Yikui is also a monk soldier. Speaking of it, not many people really take it seriously, but in this Buddhist hall, there are gods and Buddhas enshrined, and there are eminent monks who have attained the Tao. Such an atmosphere, It is so sacred and solemn.

When the real thing is imminent, who really has the courage to go up and burn it directly.

So when Oda Nobunaga arrived with his personal guards, what he saw was the scene where his retainers and soldiers surrounded the Buddhist hall, but no one dared to shoot a rocket or throw a torch into it first.

"My lord is here." After someone noticed the arrival of Oda Nobunaga, he shouted.

The soldiers and retainers of the Oda family took the initiative to leave the road and bowed to welcome the arrival of the head of the Oda family.

In the light of numerous torches, Oda Nobunaga walked calmly. She walked through the soldiers and retainers, and walked to the front of the Buddhist hall. She glanced at everyone, "Why haven't you done anything yet?"

They all called here to come here, but a group of people stood here and watched the Buddhist hall, which is really beautiful.

Under Oda Nobunaga's ironic eyes, many retainers shrank subconsciously, and no one dared to answer for a while.

Oda Nobunaga had expected it a long time ago, but he didn't immediately become angry.

After all, ever since she wrote to Mount Hiei that she wanted to attack, retainers kept coming to her to persuade her, and even when she ordered to go out, some people still refused to give up.

So now let them burn down the Buddhist hall, of course they hesitated again and again.

If these people didn't hesitate anymore, she would have to wonder what was going on.

Slightly twitching the corners of his lips, Oda Nobunaga was about to say something, when Akechi Mitsuhide snatched the torch from Congren's hand, "Let me do it."

Now that we are all here, there is no need to hesitate, he has already made up his mind, hasn't he?

At this time, seeing Akechi Mitsuhide's actions, Kinoshita Hideyoshi also moved, "I'll do it, Mitsuhide-sama." He also took a torch.

In the light and darkness of the fire, Mitsuhide Akechi and Hideyoshi Kinoshita looked at each other with varying degrees of darkness in their eyes.

In fact, neither of the two wanted to burn down the Buddhist temple, but neither wanted to lose to the other.

Also as Oda Nobunaga's beloved retainer, even the two of them wanted to compete.

"Mitsuhide, monkey." Oda Nobunaga's voice sounded behind the two of them.

Oda Nobunaga's voice was not harsh, but both Mitsuhide Akechi and Hideyoshi Kinoshita stopped their movements immediately. Mitsuhide Akechi turned his head and looked at Nobunaga Oda with a rare look of helplessness, "Master."

Kinoshita Hideyoshi was even more puzzled, "My lord?" Could it be that at this moment, my lord suddenly changed his mind?

Oda Nobunaga waved his hand to stop the two of them temporarily, while he took two steps forward, facing the retainers of the Oda family. Her voice was originally clear, but at this time she deliberately raised her voice, and it was even more ear-piercing, "I I know what you are hesitating, and I also know what you are afraid of, karma, or punishment from gods and Buddhas, or even falling into hell after death." Oda Nobunaga raised the corners of his lips sarcastically, "However, in this world, there is no What kind of gods and Buddhas, the statues in these Buddhist halls are nothing more than wooden and clay sculptures. They will neither fulfill your wishes, nor punish you. They seem to be high and compassionate, but in fact they are just sculptures. It’s just a trick.” She pointed at the Buddhist hall, looked up to the sky and smiled, “If you want to believe in Buddha, you should believe in me!”

Oda Nobunaga said, reaching out his hand to his subordinates, "Give me the rocket."

She was so imposing that she even crushed the solemnity of the Buddhist hall. Naturally, the retainers of the Oda family knelt down and handed her the lit rocket.

Oda Nobunaga bent his bow and set an arrow, and the arrow pointed directly at the Buddhist hall. Her eyes were condensed, and she saw the domineering and domineering in the calmness, and the arrogance that no one can match, "I am right here. Look at this sky full of gods and Buddhas, what can I do?"

A rocket, like a thunderbolt, fell straight onto the Buddhist hall.

There was no movement as expected, nothing, only Oda Nobunaga simply waved his hand, "Burn."

After a moment of silence, countless torches and rockets headed towards the Buddhist hall, and the retainers of the Oda family threw all the things that could be thrown there without any hesitation.

The wooden structure couldn't withstand such sparks at all, and it was ignited by the fire in an instant, and the fire became bigger and bigger, reflecting half of the sky red.

With the sky-high fire as the background, something is breaking through the darkness, born in this cruel world.

She has a beautiful appearance and extraordinary imposing manner, but her eyes are as cold as the ice that will not melt for thousands of years. She raised her head slightly, she is the only one who is superior to me, and she looks at the beacon fire in the sky with raised eyebrows, indifferent to the fire and blood.

That is not a god or Buddha, but a demon king who destroys gods and Buddhas.

The devil is born!

Looking at the person in front of him who used the raging fire as his foil, Kinoshita Hideyoshi's expression was a mixture of panic, reverence and fear, and he said to Akechi Mitsuhide beside him in a sentence like a dream, "Master Mitsuhide, I am only now I really know that it doesn’t matter whether the lord is male or female, old or young. Oda Nobunaga is just Oda Nobunaga.” That is a person who can make everything fall at her feet, not admiration She is the one who is afraid of her.

And she doesn't care whether you respect or fear at all. Her gaze falls on you, and never falls on you. Perhaps only the world can enter her eyes a little bit.

Kinoshita Hideyoshi's eyes turned firm in an instant, and the heart that was once shaken by knowing Oda Nobunaga's secret became firm again, even more firm than before.He clenched his fists in front of his chest, staring intently at the Patriarch of the Oda family against the backdrop of the flames, and said in a rock-like tone, "I, Kinoshita Hideyoshi, whether I live or die, whether I go to hell or not, the only person I want to follow is this one." That's all!" Even if you go to hell, as long as you can follow the person in front of you, you will have no fear.

He suddenly pulled out the knife at his waist, "Kill!" If the lord wants to destroy the gods and Dao, then he will kill the gods and Buddhas!

Compared with Kinoshita Hideyoshi, Akechi Mitsuhide's gaze was much more complicated, but after a while, he did the same, drew out his saber, and charged forward.

No matter what the lord is, let him follow such a lord, follow him through life and death, and never leave.

The author has something to say: The devil is born, follow her~
