Five hundred and thirtieth eight chapters goodbye

After finally settled the three heartbroken little girls, it was already bright.

Since everyone else has combat missions, Oda Nobunaga himself was very unhappy because of Chacha, so he entrusted the three Asai sisters to Yu Qiupi, who accompanied the army but did not participate in the war to take care of him. Yu Qiupi didn't know how to coax them, and lying was useless, because the tragedy might be born soon. The lies at this time will only hurt them twice the amount later.

After Yu Qiuping finally let the three girls cry all night and were already exhausted, he hurried outside the camp to see how the siege was progressing. To his surprise, Xiaogu City, which was like a natural disaster for the Oda family a few days ago, had already been broken through several walls!

"How did you fight?" Yu Qiuhei pulled over Maeda Keiji, who had been watching the battle on the camp wall. The latter had been depressed during this period because of the death of Sushi Yamashi.

"That monkey is so powerful. Knowing that the Asai family lacks military strength, he asked the lord to attack Honmaru on the mountain and Komaru at the foot of the mountain at the same time, attracting the Asai family's troops to both sides, and then attacked Keijimaru in the middle of Koya Castle. The Asai family did not react. Before the reinforcements arrived, the two ends of the city walls were knocked down by monkeys." Maeda Keiji whispered, pointing his hand in the direction of Koya Castle. "More and more Oda troops rushed forward, and Keijimaru could not defend it."&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Maeda Kyoji's judgment was correct. Keiki Maru fell under the attack of the Oda army soon after. In this way, Honmaru, where Asai Nagamasa was located, was divided between Asai Kumasaru, who lived in Yamashita Komaru. The Oda Army immediately concentrated most of its troops to besiege Komaru. Komaru fell in the afternoon of the same day, and Asai Kumaru committed suicide by separatism. The "cowardly" man who disagreed with the path he chose and believed that it would bring disaster to the Asai family, eventually persisted until the last moment for the Asai family.

On May 9, the Oda army launched a general attack on the only remaining Honmaru, Oda family. Due to the fall of Kyoko Maru and Komaru, the Oda family obtained an excellent attack path. Oda Nobunaga personally led the main force to attack from this direction. The fierce generals of the Oda army such as Shibata Katsuya, Ninoha Nagahide, Kinyuki Hideyoshi Takigawa Ichii, Akichi Mitsuhide, etc. were ordered to climb the city from all directions, vowing to take down Koga City in one fell swoop. However, the remaining Asai Army and Eagle Bei's tenacity were greatly expected by everyone. They fought to the death on the top of the city, and the blood on the wall almost submerged the bodies, and no one evacuated. The Oda army attacked for a day and still did not make any progress. So far, the Oda family has suffered nearly 300 casualties.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

At this moment, there were rumors that the Honmanite family seemed to be planning to rise up and advance eastward, and there were rumors that the Mori family would fund Miyoshi's food and grass to help Miyoshi's family. Under such a situation, the Oda army could not help but waver. The Asai army was so stubborn that it was worthwhile to continue to pay time and troops here? Akichi Mitsuhide, Ninoha Nagahide, Naomasa Shizuka and others suggested peace talks to Oda Nobunaga, and promised to let Asai Nagamasa and Asai army go by on the condition of giving up Otani Castle to retire.

However, the irritable Nobunaga Oda rejected the decision and demanded that the city continue to attack. Akihiko Mitsuhide and others sought Yuqiuhei, who had made great contributions to the Oda family not long ago, came forward to plead with him. However, Yuqiuhei refused this request. Because no one knew Asai Nagamasa better than him, even if Oda Nobunaga agreed, Asai Nagamasa, the passionate idiot, would definitely not surrender.

Yu Qiuhei suddenly felt that his mood became a little strange. Three years ago, when Asai Nagamasa broke the alliance with the Oda family, Yu Qiuhei almost collapsed and tried his best to convince Asai Nagamasa to change his mind. However, Kotani Castle is in danger, and the closer the last moment, Yu Qiuhei's mood seemed to be more stable, which made Akichi Mitsuhide and others feel a little strange - Why did a good person like Yu Qiuhei confirm that his closest brother was indifferent to death?&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Yu Qiuping understood that perhaps he had already understood that the road of Asai Nagamasa, the road he chose, was not even able to change it even if others wanted to - even if the end of the road was death. This is probably the best destination for a passionate and passionate warrior in the chaotic times of the Warring States Period. He felt that he could not force Asai Nagamasa to live in a peaceful way for his own good feelings, and that Nagamasa who betrayed morality would regret it for life. Perhaps death would be a better ending for him.

Changzheng, as a brother, respect your own path and will not force you to turn. All I can do is to accompany you through this last journey.

·

Under Oda Nobunaga's death order, the Oda army launched a total of three consecutive days of attacks on the city. Each unit rushed to the city, fighting from the early morning to the sunset, shouting for killing. The tenacious Asai army, led by Asai Nagamasa, resisted the Oda army for three days, repelling the sure-fire attacks of the Oda army again and again. Many Oda army units even felt desperate because of the fighting of the Asai army, and after the failure of the siege, they were unable to fight again because of their low morale.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

However, the Asai army was eventually defeated due to insufficient manpower and excessive casualties. All the important officials such as Akao Akioka, Yumori Kiyosaki and other important officials died in battle at the top of the city. The Oda army seized control of the Honmaru Castle. After all the wounded soldiers of the Asai family who were not in time to retreat were executed, they began to besiege the Tianshou Pavilion where Asai Nagamasa was. To the Oda army's surprise, at this last moment, Asai Nagamasa did not choose to defend the Tianshou Pavilion, but led the remaining Eagle Bei to launch a desperate counterattack against the Oda army's siege army, and even the entire Oda army was shocked.

However, this final counterattack also exhausted the last power of the Asai army. The outnumbered Eagle Bei was surrounded by the Oda army outside the Tianshou Pavilion. The remaining soldiers of Eagle Bei stood outside the Tianshou Pavilion until the last moment, and were eventually wiped out. The white eagle flag was also torn apart by a Eagle Bei's desperate flag bearer before his death, and he did not want the flag to be captured by the Oda army.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Asai Nagamasa fought for many days, and was already wounded everywhere, and was besieged in the Tianshou Pavilion. There were only a dozen flags left by him, and even the Tianshou Pavilion was unable to hold on. So, under the instructions of Asai Nagamasa, the Asai Army ignited the Tianshou Pavilion and planned to die for the city. However, the Oda Army stopped the attack for the first time under the order of Oda Nobunaga. Because Oda Nobunaga's precious sister, Oda City was still trapped in the Tianshou Pavilion in Koya Castle. Seeing the burning Xiaoya Castle Tenshou, Oda Nobunaga couldn't help but get anxious - he was afraid that his sister would really die for Asai Nagamasa.

·

At this moment, Yu Qiuping stood in front of the burning Xiaogu City Tianshou Pavilion, and suddenly felt that the world in front of him was like a dream - what is the difference between this and the dream he had a few years ago?

Maybe there is really a fate? People’s destiny is destined.

However, he had no time to sigh. He was the envoy sent by Oda Nobunaga to the burning Tianshou Pavilion, and asked him to find Asai Nagamasa and then take Ashi out. As soon as Oda Nobunaga arrived at the door, he was directly killed by the flag owners of the Asai family who had been killed red, and there was no way to communicate.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

However, when the samurai wearing a red leaf shawl appeared in front of these flags, the swords they held were slowly hanging down. They all followed the flags that had been Asai Nagamasa for more than ten years, so naturally they recognized their lord's righteous brother and their former benefactor of the Asai family.

"Your Highness Hongye, please forgive me for being rude." Even so, the flag owner still took a step sideways and blocked Yu Qiuping outside the sea of ​​fire. "The order given by the lord is to let you guard the door, not allow anyone to come up, and give the lord time to calmly cut off the stomach. The lord will never accept any persuasion to surrender. You please go back."

"I'm very sorry, but please let me meet Nagamasa." Yu Qiuhei said, pulling out the sabre Chidori and Shinse Shin-shi's ribs given by her body and putting them on the ground outside the Tenshou Pavilion. "I have something to say to him. It has nothing to do with politics, military strategy, grudges, it's just a conversation between brothers."&1t;i>&1t;/i>

After saying that, Yu Qiuping bowed deeply to the flag book and whispered: "Please."

Qi Ben hesitated for a moment, looked at Yu Qiuping, and sighed again. Finally, he nodded and whispered: "His Royal Highness Hongye has always had a good reputation as a promise of a thousand gold. I believe he won't let me down, please."

Yu Qiuping walked into Tianshou Pavilion quickly, looking at the flames that were swallowing bricks and tiles around and the fire beams that were on the ground, realizing that there was not much time left for him. He jumped over a few overturned fire beams and shuttled between the flames. The heat of the fire made him feel like he was about to steam. He struggled to shuttle through the corridors of Tianshou Pavilion in Xiaogucheng, upstairs, circled, and then went upstairs, and finally rushed to the top of Tianshou Pavilion, where Asai Nagamasa lived. Even though he was still standing outside the door, the shrill and sad crying of the woman in the room was so clear - that was Ashi's voice.

I have seen this scene long ago in my destiny dream.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Yu Qiuping opened the paper door with a "swish" sound, and saw Nagamasa Asai standing in the middle of the house, while Ashi kneeling beside him was crying. Nagamasa Asai's white clothes were already red by dozens of wounds on his body, and a sharp rib was wiping in his hand.

The two people in the room heard the sound of the paper door opening, and turned their heads in surprise and couldn't help but exclaim:

"Brother!" "Brother Hongye!"

·

After the Asai family and the Oda family broke the alliance, Yu Qiuhei had imagined the scene in front of him countless times. At this destined moment, at this moment of separation from life and death, what he would say and do, how sad and helpless he would be.

However, the incomparable calm in his heart surprised him a little.

"Brother Hongye!" After seeing Yu Qiuping, Ashi rushed over as if he had seen a savior, and took Yu Qiuping's hand and rushed to Nagamasa Asai, "You can persuade His Highness Changzheng! He is determined to die... Only you can tell him, only you can tell him!"&1t;i>&1t;/i>

"Ashi, don't do this." After seeing Ashi's actions, Asai Nagamasa whispered slightly moved, "Don't force my brother to do these things. Didn't I understand what I said to you?" After saying this, Asai Nagamasa turned his cheek to Yu Qiuping and whispered to him: "Brother, you are here just in time. Tianshou Pavilion is about to burn, so take Ashi away quickly."

"Your Highness! Ashi has never asked anyone in his life. I'm going to beg for you this time, okay?" After Ashi heard Nagamasa Asai say this, tears burst out again, "Ashi is willing to be with you for the rest of his life. Even if he has no freedom for the rest of his life, it doesn't matter if he is under house arrest! We still have Chacha, Achu, Shinjiro, and Ajiang! They are still young and cannot be without a father! What should they do if you leave? What should I do! If Your Highness is determined to die, then Ashi will accompany Your Highness to die together and go to another world together!"

"Ashi..." Asai Nagamasa listened to Ashi's crying, and the two men's tears slowly flowed down their cheeks. However, the sound of the surrounding fire tongues swallowing wood became more and more violent, urging him not to delay any more. After he hesitating for a moment, he squatted down and gently fell on Ashi's pale lips. Looking at Ashi's swollen eyes, he suddenly laughed.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

He reached out and helped Ashi clean up the messy silk, and said softly in the gentlest tone of his life:

"Ashi, you are so beautiful."

Then, the hands of Ashi who were tidying up his head suddenly fell down and hit Ashi hard on the back of the neck.

"I love you."

Ashi's body shook suddenly, her eyes full of surprise and compassion. She used all her last strength and will, and then looked at Asai Nagamasa with a deep look, as if she wanted to deeply engrave his appearance into her mind.

Ashi's body was helplessly collapsed in Asai Nagamasa's arms. A drop of crystal clear tears also slid down Asai Nagamasa's cheeks and fell on Ashi's exquisite face. Asai Nagamasa slowly placed Ashi on the floor, and then pretended to be strong and whispered to Yu Qiuping: "Brother, I've caused trouble for you. Ashi and the children, I'll ask you."&1t;i>&1t;/i>

"You are so anxious to leave, don't ask me why you came?" Yu Qiuping suddenly spoke and asked in a low voice for no reason.

Asai Nagamasa was stunned for a moment when he heard this, raised his head and looked at Yu Qiuping, trying to find the answer from his eyes, but he found nothing.

"Brother, you will understand me." Asai Nagamasa, shook his head slightly and replied in a low voice, "I am practicing the morality of a samurai, and I am defending the light and righteousness of the world. I had known that this road was to hit the stone with an egg, and I had expected the ending today. I am only one death away from the end. I have no reason to live alone, as it would be a betrayal of all my life."

Because his path is the path of justice. No matter how strong the enemy is, justice will never surrender.

"I understand." Yu Qiuping nodded, looked at Ashi who had fainted, and remembered the children of Asai Nagamasa and whispered, "It's just that I want to ask you, is this choice you made a choice without regrets?"&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Asai Nagamasa pursed his lips, and a soft look suddenly appeared in the eyes of the strong man.

"I'm sorry to Ashi, I'm sorry to my children, my father, and the Asai family, and I'm sorry to so many soldiers who follow me." Asai Nagamasa said loudly in a somewhat sad but firm tone: "But people who can't give up nothing can save anything. In order to defend the light and righteousness of the world and to open up the way for the peace and prosperity of his brother, Nagamasa is willing to give up anything."

"I can't do this to you. You are like a hero in the legend." Yu Qiuping smiled bitterly and shook his head slightly. "I will still be bound by emotions, or by many trivial matters in the world. I..."

"So my brother is a person who does great things, and is the one who truly creates the peaceful and prosperous era in our dreams." Asai Nagamasa turned around, stared at Yu Qiuping's eyes, and said solemnly, "Nagamasa does not have the ability of his brother, and can only die to defend the right path in the world. My brother must stick to our dreams back then, go all the way, end the cycle of governance and chaos in the world, and give the people of the world a long and stable life!"&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Yu Qiupi didn't know why he suddenly started such a strange conversation. In his countless previous ideas, he clearly had countless words to say to Asai Nagamasa, his best brother at this time. But when things came to an end, he couldn't think of a word.

There is no time left.

Yu Qiuping looked at Asai Nagamasa, his passionate and idiotic brother. He was like a brilliant sunshine in this troubled world, shining from the darkest place, but his heart was extremely bright. It illuminated the world, illuminated people's hearts, and illuminated justice.

"Zhangmasa." Yu Qiuping suddenly stepped forward and hugged Asai Nagamasa. She shed tears for the first time in such a long time.

"Brother." Asai Nagamasa was stunned for a moment, and didn't know what to do for a moment.

"Don't worry." Yu Qiuping let go of her arms, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and pointed her hand at the window of Tianshou Pavilion behind Nagamasa Asai. Even though the corpses were everywhere outside Tianshou Pavilion, the sun was so bright in the distant horizon.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Just like you.

"Brother." Asai Nagamasa turned around, and the sun shone on his face. For a moment, his face turned like the handsomeness of the two of them when they first met. He slowly knelt down, turned his head and looked at Yu Qiuping for the last time. That was his brother, his close friend, and his dream.

"I want to see that peaceful era for me."

"I wish you a prosperous martial arts fortune."
