Late at night, when everything was silent, Sanada Yutaka sat quietly in his room, and the moonlight shone through the window.

He's been sitting here all night, thinking about what to do with the Sanada family in the future.

How long can Matsuo Castle last? Ueda Nobukata's attack was too ferocious, and he knew that he didn't have a fierce general under his command who could stop Ueda Nobukata.

But betraying the Takeda family? Harunobu Takeda treated the traitors very harshly, betraying the Takeda family, and there was almost no room for turnback.

He didn't want to betray the Takeda family, and he didn't want to surrender Ueda Nobukata, so there was only a matter of retreat.

Sanada Yutaka made up his mind, resisted for a few more days, and let Shinobu and the children flee to Kai first, and led his troops to break through the siege, retreat to Saku-gun, and go to Soki Masato.

Kyounin walked in, she had come to see it several times, and this time she saw Sanada Yutaka in a much better mood, she knew that Sanada Yutaka had made a decision.

Sanada Yutaka looked at Gongunin and said, "Shinobu, I must stay in Matsuo Castle, and you and the children will go to Kai to wait for me first." ”

Gongyunyuan's eyes were tender at first, but now his eyes were red and said, "Are you going to choose to die in Matsuo City?" ”

Sanada Yutaka shook his head and said, "I haven't returned to Sanada Township yet, I won't die so easily."

It's just that our Sanada family can't betray Takeda, and if we want to recapture Sanada Township, only Haruminobu Gong has the best chance. ”

Gongyunyuan nodded and said, "I know, Xinglong, you must take care." ”

Sanada Yutaka was very reluctant to hold Gongyunin in his arms for some warmth.

Early the next morning, Sanada Yutaka called Haruhara-Sozaemon, and he said, "Saemon, I'm sorry, I'm going to continue to hold on to Matsuo Castle." ”

Haruhara Sozaemon nodded and said, "My lord, the minister supports your decision, give the order!" ”

Sanada Yutaka nodded and said, "Saemon, the safety of the ninja buds will be handed over to you, you bring a few trustworthy people, and tonight, take the ninja buds and them to Kai." ”

Haruhara Sozaemon suddenly said: "My lord, please rest assured, I will definitely do this in the future." ”

After Sanada Yutaka instructed Haruhara-Sozaemon, he immediately commanded the defenders to guard against Ueda Nobukata's attack.

Ueda Nobukata saw that Sanada Yukitaka had no intention of surrendering out of the city, and he was a little angry, he was so sincere, and Sanada Yukitaka still wanted to resist stubbornly.

He asked Motoren beside him, "Are the Sanada clans all in Matsuo Castle?" ”

Yuan Lian nodded and said: "This is information that has only been discovered for more than a year, and there are many detailed works in the city, which are of the same kind as ours, so we are more careful."

The Sanada clan is all in the castle, and there are many small works around to protect them. ”

Ueda Nobukata nodded, hearing the news, he was a little suspicious of Sanada Yutaka's actions, Sanada Yutaka is a smart person.

Just like his son Sanada Masayuki, he is the person who was praised by Takeda Harunobu and Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and the person who made Tokugawa Ieyasu love and hate.

So as a smart person, how could Sanada Yutaka know that he couldn't hold Matsuo Castle and still defend it?

This shows that Sanada Yutaka must have thought of a way out, and he will also arrange for the Sanada clan to leave Matsuo Castle.

When Ueda Nobukata thought of this, he was immediately overjoyed, he knew that Sanada Yutaka was smart but was mistaken by cleverness.

He immediately said to Motoren: "Go and monitor the back road of Matsuo Castle, I think Sanada Yutaka will definitely let people leave Matsuo Castle with his wife and children." ”

Motoren understood what Ueda Nobukata meant, and he immediately left with a few ninjas.

Ueda Nobukata looked at the Liuwen Qian banner above, showed a smiling face, and said in his heart: I still have to cooperate with Sanada Yutaka.

He picked up a piece of wood and shouted, "Attack! ”

The two rows of ashigaru in front lifted the wooden pole and slowly moved forward, and the back was still the iron artillery team and the bow ashigaru, and finally the ordinary ashigaru.

When Ueda Nobukata led his troops to approach forty or fifty paces, the castle tower began to shoot arrows, some of which landed on the wooden poles, and some of which landed on the ground.

Ueda Nobukata didn't have time to laugh, but urged the ashigaru to go faster.

Soon, the second round of arrow rain arrived, and the bow and arrow were fast, but not powerful enough, so the wooden arrow could be blocked.

Under the rain of arrows from Sanada Fang, Ueda Nobukata led the army to the bottom of the slope, and Ueda Nobukata immediately shouted: "Shoot! ”

The iron artillery team was not afraid of death, loaded ammunition and lit the arquebus, stood up and opened fire, shooting at the bow foot light on the opposite side.

Round after round of iron cannons were fired, and the Sanada family's bow was beaten and did not dare to raise their heads.

Ueda Nobukata rushed directly up the hillside, brandished the ten-character gun, and roared angrily: "Attack, take Matsuo Castle!" A gun reward for fifty times of knowledge and action! ”

Ueda Nobukata directly set up a heavy reward, although he would only get 800 surrounding territories if he took Matsuo Castle, but if he couldn't take it, he wouldn't even have 800.

This reward stimulated all the Ashigaru present, and of course some of the ronin samurai were also impressed.

Not long after Ueda Nobukata rushed up the hill, the ashigaru behind hurriedly chased Ueda Nobukata with the castle tree.

Only once did the Sanada army not go out, but chose to hold on, and Ueda Nobukata rushed to Matsuo Castle with a wooden sword.

Soon, many Sakudai people also rushed up, building ladders and ladders, and some people climbed on the base of the stone wall.

Then the ashigaru who carried the city tree also came up, and the four of them carried the city tree to the city gate, shouted in unison, and then charged to hit the city gate.

Ueda Nobukata immediately urged the ashigaru to climb up with the ladder, but as soon as he went up, he was stabbed down by the Sanada army inside.

After a long time at the city gate, the gate of Matsuo Castle was knocked open, and the Sanada family's army, which was hiding behind, suddenly rushed out, and the Ueda army was defenseless and was immediately repulsed.

Although Ueda Nobukata was brave, he was definitely not able to deal with a few hundred people alone, and he had to retreat.

After the siege once, Ueda Nobukata stopped, and Sanada Yutaka in the city breathed a sigh of relief, while the people around the theater packed up their things and went home.

In the evening, Haruhara, Sozaemon left Matsuo Castle at night with a few samurai and a few children from Kyounin and Sanada Yutakaka.

They hurried overnight to Saku-gun, and by daybreak they had already arrived a mile outside the castle in front of the mountain in Saku-gun.

At this time, Gongyunyuan really couldn't walk, and the children were already asleep.

Kyounin said, "Saemon, let's rest for a while." ”

When Haruhara Sozaemon saw that it was not far from Maeyama Castle, he immediately asked the samurai to put down their children and prepare to rest.

After a while, a merchant appeared on the road, attracting everyone's attention, and the smell of food wafted from the box he was carrying.

The adults can bear it, but the children can't help it, especially the eldest daughter of Sanada Yutaka said softly, "Mother, I'm so hungry." ”

Gongyunin was a little embarrassed, and was ready to warn the eldest daughter, as a martial arts woman, to restrain her desires.

However, Haruhara's Sozaemon directly called the merchant and spent money to buy a little food.

The food was so fragrant that several samurai took the rice balls and ate them, and even Kyoun-in Temple and Haruhara-Sozaemon ate them with relish.

However, Sanada Masayuki, who is the third man, said: "This merchant is very strange! ”
