Chapter 523 The outrageous ending
The wind blew through the dilapidated streets, and the city of Kyoto was in ruins.
The temperature gradually becomes hot, but this kind of temperature does not feel anything when it shines on people. Walking among the broken bricks and tiles, there is no living person standing at all, and the wind blows Occasionally, there was a smell of burning. Oda Nobunaga and his old wife Nohime knew in their hearts that it was the smell of corpses charred by flames after a big explosion.
It's like entering a desolate and abandoned ancient city.
The stars fell from the sky and smashed the city into this state. In the past, Oda Nobunaga would only have thought it was a fantasy, and would even drag out the people who spread the rumors and cut out their tongues.
But this time, it really happened in front of him.
"Go and check around to see if there are any living people..."
Oda Nobunaga's steps were sloppy, he looked around with a gloomy look, and staggered across the burned half 's corpse.
The hundreds of female-clad people behind him had expressions of fear and sadness on their faces. They dispersed in silence and began to look for people around them.
The city with tens of thousands of people was completely destroyed.
He took out the 'Longship' from his waist and walked quietly a few steps, looking at the billowing mist in the forest, and faintly heard voices.
However, when the Japanese soldiers removed the heavy palace pillars and dragged the palace maid out, her lower body was almost flattened, and before Oda Nobunaga could ask questions, she lost her breath.
There is indeed a mountain behind the Tianyu Palace. They all came to this world from behind the mountain.
Oda Nobunaga looked at the dead palace maid in silence for a while. His wife came to him and patted the back of his hand.
The emperor is still second. If Tokugawa Ieyasu, Mori Motonari, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi die, he will have no need to continue the confrontation.
It means that this world is like a big house that can accommodate everyone who comes here.
Maybe it was blocked by the palace wall, but the body of the person inside was still well preserved, but the body was covered with a thick layer of dust, and the appearance was almost invisible.
"Ori...Oda-sama..." A eunuch who had met Oda Nobunaga kneeled on the ground with a bang and told him what he knew.
What are you going there for?
Oda Nobunaga was wandering outside the political center of Tianyu City, not knowing whether Tokugawa Ieyasu and the others had made any new discoveries about how they came to this world.
Oda Nobunaga wanted to go to the back mountain to see what Tokugawa Ieyasu was going to do. It was obviously inappropriate to take his old and frail wife with him.
While talking, several eunuchs and maids in the palace were brought to Oda Nobunaga by the women in clothes behind them. They were all injured. The eunuch who was seriously injured was blinded in one eye, and his blood flowed out. The blood formed a cocoon around the eye sockets.
Nohime was still as considerate as before and understood what her husband was going to do. Instead, she said some words of comfort and watched the other party walk through the backyard of the palace with two hundred people in women's clothes.
As a daimyo, Oda Nobunaga gradually recovered from the shock and panic, and immediately sent an order for his soldiers to go in and search.
After searching for a while, no one was found alive. They even found the huge crater, which was eight feet deep. All the houses in the surrounding area half a mile were reduced to powder.
As for these people, they were probably left here to fend for themselves by Tokugawa Ieyasu because they were of no use.
He then spoke again and ordered: "Keep looking, there is no way there is no one alive. Your Majesty, there are other great names who should be alive!"
Surrender?
Oda Nobunaga turned his face and whispered, then walked ahead and plunged into the fog in the forest. Fortunately, the fog was not too heavy.
That was the voice of Tokugawa Ieyasu, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
"Follow!"
The mountain behind Tianyu Palace, after arriving in this world, they gave it a name called Omuro Mountain.
It was a palace maid. She was pressed under the palace pillars, with only half of her body exposed. When she saw Oda Nobunaga leading his troops, she cried and asked for help from everyone.
They could only clean up or bypass it. When they entered the Pine Pavilion, they finally found the first living person after entering the city.
"Nohime, wait for me here!"
The two seemed to be arguing about something.
After more than ten steps inside, I saw the light of the fire. When the people over there heard the footsteps, they turned their heads and looked, and saw Oda Nobunaga coming in with a knife, and the relatives around him. guard.
When the mountain turned behind the sun and entered the range where shadows and white mist met, Oda Nobunaga suddenly raised his hand and motioned to the women behind him and on the left and right to stop.
“Where are His Majesty and the three daimyo?”
As we walked along the messy palace roads, we saw corpses and corpses, as well as toppled eaves and fences blocking the main roads. .
Back mountain?
The further you go, the forest fields are still there on the back side of the mountain, but mist gradually rises in the forest.
The mountain is not high, and it is still the hunting ground of the royal family. Oda Nobunaga hunted here twice. Now the dense forest has been destroyed, and there are broken wooden stakes everywhere. In the dirt.
Oda Nobunaga, who came after hearing the news, almost lay beside the pit and watched for a long time, then silently took his old wife and a group of soldiers to Tianyu Palace.
Moving forward, there were many corpses on the way. A group of women came forward to check and found that they had just died and were killed by Japanese swords.
Most of the palaces and palace walls in the distance were also destroyed, but a few wall sections tilted inward, and the doors and windows were no longer visible.
In the forest, against the mountain wall, a torch was inserted half way around a small cave. Tokugawa Ieyasu and Toyotomi Hideyoshi were standing in front of the mound outside the cave, with a dead man on the stage. .
"Your Majesty, Lord Tokugawa and Lord Toyotomi Hideyoshi went to the back mountain...but Lord Motonori...died when the weather changed."
He He never thought that he might commit suicide after killing his wife.
"Oda-sama, we found it! How many people are still alive!"
We continued to search inside, occasionally seeing wooden buildings that were still burning. Not long after, a soldier finally came back with a look of joy on his face.
Is there internal strife?
Oda Nobunaga was confused and quickly followed the direction in which these corpses extended to find them.
There are also Sanada Yukimura with his head wrapped in a forehead protector, and Honda Tadakatsu who is known as "Wajima Lu Bu" wearing a deer antlers bag.
On the other hand, Emperor Omikado's face turned pale, and he stood on one side of the two men shivering, his eyes fixed on the disemboweled woman on the mound.
That's his queen.
The scene in front of the cave entrance gradually became clear in the eyes of Oda Nobunaga and others. His eyes swept over the whole week, and he asked in a low voice: "Are you offering sacrifices?"
"Tokugawa Ieyasu is crazy..." Toyotomi Hideyoshi growled at the pudgy old man opposite.
The disemboweled queen was shockingly placed on the mound used as an altar. The woman was still the queen that Tokugawa Ieyasu had found for Emperor Omikado three years ago.
At this moment, the woman was used as a sacrifice with his own hands.
"I'm not crazy..." Tokugawa Ieyasu stood there with disheveled hair while holding a knife dripping with blood. He looked at Oda Nobunaga with red eyes: "You have also seen it, meteorites falling from the sky... This is no longer ordinary. The war... Only by bringing the man known as the 'god' here can the desperate situation be reversed!"
Under the mountain wall in the forest, everyone was unusually silent.
Oda Nobunaga put his sword back into its sheath, glanced at the dead woman on the mound, and reached out to close her wide eyes: "When we came here, were there any sacrifices?"
Then his eyes fell on Tokugawa Ieyasu's face and asked again: "...Do you need a sacrifice?"
With these two short sentences, surprisingly no one around answered. .
In the eyes of everyone, Tokugawa Ieyasu is indeed a bit crazy, but anyone else would be crazy. A huge meteorite fell from the sky, directly destroying the Hokuriku Island he had been operating for three years, and almost all the soldiers and horses were also destroyed. destroyed in this catastrophe.
Tokugawa Ieyasu wants the "god" Sakagami Tamuramaro to come over. Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Oda Nobunaga don't think it's wrong. If there are not enough people, then bring more.
But killing women as sacrifices seems absurd.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi tried to persuade this old fat man, but the old man was already in a crazy state and actually commanded soldiers and horses to fight with him. This is what Oda Nobunaga saw.
“The Queen is just an ordinary woman, not to mention that since we respect her as a Queen, we should give her the respect she deserves instead of killing her like an animal. What does this make Your Majesty think?!”
"I don't care what he thinks!" Tokugawa Ieyasu held the sword and turned to look at Emperor Omikado behind him, his eyes blood-red and scary, "Tell me, what do you think?!"
This sentence is direct. Emperor Omikado was so frightened that he retreated.
Oda Nobunaga shook his head and sighed. In such a situation, let alone fighting against the Emperor of Xia Kingdom, it would be difficult even to clean up the current mess in Hokuriku Island.
"Tokugawa Ieyasu, we are considered old friends, listen to me, put down the sword, and then reorganize the troops and see what else can be done. If not, we will leave by boat. Go overseas and make a comeback!”
“No...this is our root!”
Tokugawa Ieyasu turned back and pointed to the cave under the mountain wall, "We came out from here, and this is the place we want to guard..."
As he spoke, the mountain wall suddenly shook. After a while, rocks rolled down from above.
The soldiers below quickly raised their shields and stood in front of the three daimyo. In a panic, Oda Nobunaga suddenly said: "There is someone in the cave!"
Tokugawa Ieyasu, Yutaka Chen Hideyoshi quickly turned his head and looked over, and saw a figure slowly crawling out of the short hole. Then, he stood in front of everyone.
He wears a large red copper armor and a peach-shaped pocket on his head. He is the same as the ordinary Japanese, looking short, but his appearance is quite different. His eyes are like an eagle, and his beard is like a golden needle. This is completely different from the Japanese.
No one dares to look down upon such a small man.
"Sakaue Tamura Maro-sama?"
The short figure turned his head to look at the smiling old fat man, nodded, and spoke slowly, with a majestic voice.
“Remember that I am dead...why do you appear here, and who are you?”
As the first generation shogun, Sakanoue Tamura Maro was not as self-respecting as the shoguns of the later shogunate era.
After he conquered Ezo, he returned all military power.
In terms of personality, he is much higher than these daimyo from the shogunate era. Even if such people don't have much ability, people like Tokugawa Ieyasu don't dare to offend them at will.
Oda Nobunaga stepped forward and raised his hands towards the first-generation general. Then, he told the other party the current situation and desperate situation.
After hearing everything, Tamuramaro Sakanoue closed his eyes and thought for a while, then counted how many soldiers, horses and generals the three of them had available.
At the end, he opened his eyes and said softly: "Send troops!"
...
When the sun passed through noon, there was no harbor and pier on the west coast of Hokuriku Island. The Tianzibao ship can be parked offshore, and the warships such as Qinglong and Huya that are also docked are putting down their boats, and the generals and soldiers on board are boarding one by one and sailing to the coast.
Surrounded by cargo ships transporting troops, the soldiers quickly lowered the ship's side along the ladders and ropes like dumplings. For a time, the entire sea was filled with densely packed small boats rushing towards the beach.
By the time Su Chen walked onto the soft sand, it was already half an hour later.
"There is no need to form a team, just press over."
After a meteorite hit from the sky, there were not many Japanese who survived on the island, and it was even less likely that they could use weapons and have the courage to fight.
The generals who followed the emperor all showed evil smiles.
Unexpectedly, the most critical battle was so easy. This battle must be over soon. This is what many people think, including Zhao Yun.
"Daozhang Li, light the thickest stick of incense!"
Su Chen was dressed in military uniform. After getting on his horse, he turned around and shouted to Li Tiangang who was driving the ancestral coffin carriage. His voice was carried by his inner force, and the other party could hear it clearly. Immediately, he returned to the carriage and lit his hand rub. Three big incense sticks.
The moment Liu Xiu’s shadow appeared behind Su Chen.
Su Chen laughed loudly and raised his whip.
“Let’s go, I’m going to the Japanese city to see what it looked like after being smashed there. It’s best to find the meteorite. I’m going to take it back and build the best weapons for you!”
< br>Su Chen didn't know whether meteorites could be used to make the best weapons. Anyway, he had only seen that those magical weapons in martial arts novels were forged from meteorites.
After receiving the emperor's order, the three troops who had completed their formation were led by the Tang army. The emperor's guard of honor was originally supposed to wait for the Bingzhou army to leave before following up, but Su Chen was thinking about what the Japanese city would look like after it was hit by a meteor. Then he took the Shenji Camp and the Huwei Camp and followed closely behind the Tang army.
Along the way, Lu Bu and Xiang Yu were still thinking about what Su Chen said about forging weapons with meteorite iron, and asked from time to time what this meteorite iron was?
How does it compare with Han Tie...
At this moment, a Tang Army scout returned from the front, dismounted at the Shenji Camp in front, and then whispered to Liu Sheng What? The latter hurriedly came over, lifted up his cloak, and knelt on one knee beside Su Chen.
“Your Majesty, the scouts have come to report that the forward of the Tang army encountered Japanese soldiers and horses!”
"Huh?"
Not only Su Chen was stunned for a moment, but Lu Bu, Xiang Yu and others were also stunned. They didn't expect that in such a large battle, there would be a large-scale Japanese army still alive?
“You haven’t even cleaned this yet?”
Su Chen smiled, then whipped his riding whip, urging the horse to gallop, “Let’s go over and have a look!”
At the same time, he was also on horseback and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, your meteorite doesn't look good..."
"I'm not a shooting star. How can I know whether it will hit me or not?"
Liu Xiu's voice sounded behind Su Chen, and all the emperors in the ancestral coffin that followed behind also laughed. He stood up, probably breathing a sigh of relief.
At this time, Hokuriku Island could still have soldiers and horses composed of Japanese people coming to fight, which was beyond everyone's expectation, but it was just a bit unexpected.
Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, and Li Xuanba were riding horses in front of the formation. They looked at the Japanese army that was spread out about a mile opposite, but they were not in a hurry to rush over.
After all, the opponent looked defeated and panicked, and he didn't look like he was here to fight.
It was really not satisfying to kill such an enemy. The murderous Li Xuanba didn't even bother to have his hammers carried over.
Tap!
The sound of horse hooves came galloping from behind, and the ancestral hearse came with it. At this moment, all the soldiers under Su Chen's command had landed on the island. It was no wonder what tricks the Japanese could do.
Moreover, he also wanted to try Liu Xiu's second secret skill: the emperor's luck.
“Hey!”
Su Chen galloped to the front of the formation, gave a soft drink, reined in the horse, stood in front of Qin Qiong and others, looked towards the opposite side, and raised his hand slightly.
“No more delay, who is going?”
“I’m not interested, let Hei Tan go!” Li Xuanba sat on the horse, folding his arms, “As the emperor of Xia Kingdom, How can a strong general take action easily?"
"I'll go, I'll go!"
When he said this, Yu Chigong rushed out with a sullen face and rushed towards the two sides. In front of the military formation, a battalion of Tang troops also separated and followed closely behind him.
Su Chen silently used Emperor Guangwu's second secret technique to see what would happen and affect the war.
Just as he looked expectantly at the Japanese army formation opposite, the three daimyo lined up in front of the opponent's army formation separated to the left and right, and a short Japanese man came out slowly holding a naginata.
"Sakagami Tamuramaro-sama, opposite is the Emperor of the Natsu Kingdom, and he went to the battlefield in person!"
Tokugawa Ieyasu's face turned red, and his tone was urgent: "If you can kill him, Natsu Kingdom The army will collapse, and we will be able to reverse the desperate situation!"
The sound of horse hoofbeats stopped on his side, and Tamura Maro on the red horse stroked his long beard and looked at the leader. When a Xia army came, he narrowed his eyes slightly like Guan Yu.
However, his eyes suddenly opened again, and he said faintly: "Ancestor..."
"What?"
Tokugawa Ieyasu, Oda Nobunaga, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi were a little confused. Hearing this clearly, the moment he turned his head to look at the other party, the naginata suddenly rose.
In front of Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the blade instantly struck Tokugawa Ieyasu on the neck.
Before his head fell off, he was caught by Sakagami Tamuramaro, and he rushed towards the Xiaguo army formation on the opposite side.
This scene made the Japanese people dumbfounded, and Su Chen who heard the news across the way was also dumbfounded.
"What's going on?"
"Did you kill your own general and come to surrender?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Japanese general who rushed towards him jumped off his horse from a distance. , a short figure carrying a bloody head, hurried over and knelt directly in front.
He put the head aside, arched his hands, and then knocked his head on the ground.
"The descendants of Liu Azhi pay homage to their ancestors!"
"Worship me?"
Su Chen was even more confused, and the others even looked at each other, but then he thought about it, and Su Chen's surname was not Liu, so naturally not Those who worship their own emperor.
"Changsheng, he is worshiping me."
Suddenly a voice rang out, Su Chen looked back and saw Han Xian Emperor Liu Xie walking out.
"My great-great-grandson is called Liu Azhi..."
The Japanese god of war... is actually the great-great-grandson of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty?
......
In the ancestral coffin, Liu Bang's soul muttered: "My old Liu family is really embarrassed!"
