The city of Furai.
After several fierce battles, the Sō family, taking advantage of their numerical superiority, finally broke through the city walls. At this moment, all ten of the Wada family's samurai had been killed, and only a few dozen peasant soldiers were still fighting bitterly using the buildings in the city. Some of these peasant soldiers had already surrendered to the Sō family. In return, the Sō family had paid a heavy price, with six samurai killed and dozens injured.
Watching the continuous influx of Sō family troops through the city gates, Sō Jishū, standing on a small hill outside the city, stepped on the head of the traitor Kinsa and laughed loudly, "Wada Taikō, this time I will personally cut off your head to honor the spirits of our clan's senior vassals. Men, quickly gather 40 ashigaru and head to the Wada family's territory to claim it. From today, the Wada family will no longer exist." Hmph, although they were forced to occupy that place, in the current situation, there was no other choice. It seems that the plot to seize Tandai Castle will have to be postponed. Damn Wada Taikō, I will make you suffer a thousand deaths. As he watched his vassals leave to carry out his orders, Sō Jishū felt a deep hatred.
"Lord, look, what is that?" Just as Sō Jishū was deep in thought, a samurai behind him suddenly shouted in alarm.
"Hmm?" Sō Jishū turned around and looked in the direction the samurai was pointing. He saw a disheveled group of people rapidly approaching from his direction, and behind them, at a distance of several dozen meters, was another group.
"Damn it," Sō Jishū shouted, "Immediately block those guys. Quickly, shoot them if they get any closer." He敏锐地意识到最后面的那一队兵势似乎来者不善。身后的家臣立即领命而去。然而,大部分农兵已经涌进了肥良城,队形早已分散各处,一时之间很难迅速集合起来进行堵截。
迅速接近的正是原本负责驻守关卡的崇良家队伍,被罗氏家的兵势在后面追赶,根本没有机会分散逃脱,只好一直狂奔了将近半个时辰,终于来到了这里。狂奔的队伍迅速与崇良家匆匆组织起来人数不多的队伍纠缠在一起,加剧了整个战场的混乱情况。
“殿下,那个就是崇良治宗。”一个一直在附近监视战场情况的侦番指着正在气急败坏地指挥众人重整队伍的中年人说道。
“嗯?新五郎,拿我的重藤弓来。”政良顺着侦番所指方向望去,发现崇良治宗身边只有两三个武士,而且都在手忙脚乱地击打着从他们身边经过的农兵,防止他们过于靠近领主大人,当即大喝道。
“是,殿下。”第一次跟随政良上战场的新五郎显得很紧张,连忙将那把1米多长的重藤弓双手送到了政良的面前。
政良翻身上马,左手拿着缰绳,右手拿着长弓,背后是吉岗一文字,嘴上衔着一支长箭,微微拉了拉缰绳,双腿一夹马腹,跟随政良数日,已经与政良形成默契的小矮马立即放蹄向着前面的人群冲去。
混乱中的崇良家兵势看到来势汹汹的战马,纷纷躲闪开去,而那些躲闪不及的倒霉鬼则被撞得连续滚动了数个跟头,甚至再也爬不起来。正在奋力重整队形的崇良治宗也看见了骑着马,沿着自己队伍狂奔而过的政良。问题是骑马的政良并不是直奔他而来,所以他竟然没有让周围的武士排成人墙保护自己。
战马很快从崇良治宗前面十数米外一掠而过,似乎准备沿着混乱的战场边缘而去。
20步,30步,40步,50步,即将超出弓箭的射程,政良放开缰绳,左手拿起重藤弓,右手拿起嘴中的长箭,拉满弦,在马背上扭转身,闪着寒光的箭头直指崇良治宗。“回龙破”,政良心中大喝一声,长箭“嗖”的一声直奔目标而去。
“大人,小心。”远处的家臣无意中看到了这一幕,立即高喊提声道。崇良治宗似有所警兆,侧头一看,只见刚才骑马而去的武士拿着长弓骑着矮马在侧面数十步外刚刚坐正身子,然后一拉马缰,狂奔而去。刚想弄明白家臣为何示警,脖子突然感到一痛,一支长箭直接贯穿了自己的脖子。崇良治宗甚至来不及发出一声惨叫,就感觉到眼前一黑,然后整个人瘫倒在地,全身痉挛起来。
“啊!家主被讨取了”、“崇良大人被杀啦”,战场上瞬间响起了一串惊呼声。
“杀”,政良这个时候已经扔下重藤弓,坐在战马上,举起吉岗一文字,调转马头向着远处的几个武士冲去。
“杀”,罗氏家兵势亲眼目睹家主的英勇表现,顿时士气大涨,仿佛忘记了将近半个时辰的奔波劳累,纷纷大喊着冲向崇良家已经陷入混乱的队伍。本来按照政良的要求,这些足轻是需要按照军阵的队形展开攻击的,但问题是这些足轻大部分都是新招募不到两天的农兵,连基本的队形都保持不了,所以政良干脆就算了。
政良骑着战马犹如出海猛龙,在人群中左冲右突,专挑那些武士斩杀。事实上,那些武士很好辨认,穿得最好,武器也是最好的基本上都是武士。崇良家的农兵纷纷远离这个可怕的魔鬼。伴随着崇良治宗的首级被罗氏家的武士割下,并被高高举起,崇良家的兵势开始崩溃了,反正谁做领主都是一样,何必为这个死去的领主卖命呢?所以农兵不是跪地投降就是拔腿就跑了。
大西国治带领着众人乘势杀向城门大开的肥良城。肥良城中的尾田家农兵看到城外的战场突然间发生了如此大的变化,不可一世的崇良家兵势竟然开始溃败了,纷纷振臂高呼,加入到了击杀敌人的行列中,聪明点的立即往城主府中跑去,准备向尾田太光报告喜讯。
城主府邸的一个房间中,尾田太光此刻正跪坐在房间的榻榻米上,双膝并拢,身体微微向前倾,手中拿着一把胁差。这把胁差的刀柄上裹着吸水极好的白纸。现在,他的身体正不停地抖动着,似乎做着激烈的心里斗争。
看到城墙被攻破,家中的亲族武士纷纷被围攻而死,尾田太光知道自己的末日就要来临了,所以他扔下正在奋战的众人,逃一般地来到了这里。
看着手中的胁差,尾田太光微微一笑。一个时辰前,木造重田在这里切腹而死,没想到自己这么快也要步他的后尘啊。但是,无论如何,作为尾田家的宗家,即便是死,也绝不可以让一个小小的分家所羞辱的。想到这里,尾田太光把心一横,双手举起胁差,大喝一声,狠狠地往腹部刺去,“呲”,腹部传来皮肉割开的声音,忍着强痛,双手紧握胁差刀柄,用力一横。
“呵呵,崇良治宗,我会在下面等着你的”,在倒下的那一刹那尾田太光发出诡异的微笑。
伴随着身体中渐渐失去的力气,尾田太光的眼睛开始缓缓闭上,在即将完全陷入黑暗的一刹那,模模糊糊之中,似乎听到了门外有人大喊,“大人,崇良治宗被讨取了……”
