Chapter Seventy-Four: The Soldiers Surround and Look at the Moon

In the twentieth year of astronomy, at the end of February of the new year, there was an occasional snowfall at this time, but people had already survived the cold winter and started the new year.

The snow cover in Kita-Shinano, even if it is flat, will cover a person in the thickest places, so every winter, some weak people will freeze to death.

Today, the snow has begun to melt and has been left from the mountains, and the Chikuma River and its tributaries are alive again.

Ueda Nobukata looked at the rolling river and saw the fish in the river, and couldn't help but sigh at the destruction of the heavens.

When he took this place, he was ready to organize the fishing of nets and fish, which could be made into dried fish for sale, and of course could also be salted into military supplies.

At this time, a cavalryman carrying a six-piece money banner on his back ran over from far and near, shouting: "Lord, the Haruhara-Wakasa Shoushu has already led people into the small cities!" ”

Ueda Nobukata waved his hand and said, "It's hard work, go down and rest." ”

Sanada Yutaka said, "My lord, do you want to go directly to Kojujo City now?" ”

Ueda Nobukata shook his head and said, "Don't be in a hurry for the time being, send someone to tell Oi Sadakei and Taguchi Nagakei, and let them raise my banner and march into Mochizuki City with great fanfare." ”

A half-kneeling envoy got up, then mounted his horse and went to tell Oi Sadakei and Taguchi Nagakei.

Ueda Nobukata explained, "Let Oi Sadakei and them attract Takeda's attention, and we will attack Komoro Castle tonight and not let anyone escape." ”

Sanada Yutaka frowned and said, "What's the use of the lord doing this?" At that time, a part of the troops was also allocated to garrison the small cities. ”

Ueda Nobukata shook his head and said, "No, after we take Kojujo Castle, we will not move in the city, implement the policy of loosening the outside and tightening the inside, and then wait for Mochizuki City to ask the Takeda family for help."

At this time, Takeda Harunobu's main energy is to deal with the lord and the Ogasawara Guardian Temple, and when the time comes, he will definitely let the countrymen of Saku-gun send troops to support Mochizuki.

In this way, I stopped their back roads, and their rear was also at my mercy! When the time comes, as long as I take the front mountain and Iwao, and show the banner, the Saku coalition army will definitely be in turmoil.

These countrymen, who are already dissatisfied with Takeda, will definitely withdraw their troops and rush back, and we will attack him in an ambush again, and the northern part of Saku County will be at my disposal. ”

Ueda Nobukata's strategy was very bold, which made Sanada Yutaka suddenly refreshed, and Sanada Yutaka was surprised: "What a wonderful strategy. ”

But Sanada Yutaka said again: "How can the lord be sure that his plan will be successful? ”

Ueda Nobukata explained, "Our army was taken by surprise, and the garrison in Mochizuki Castle was insufficient, and now we have deliberately released a letter asking for help.

Changwa City, which was close to each other, would definitely not dare to send too many troops, and they would have to judge whether this was a collective or individual action.

In this time to find out the truth, he must get the surrounding countrymen to quickly reinforce Mochizuki City.

Once these countrymen gather the ashigaru peasant army and leave the territory, the remaining forces will still be insufficient for us. ”

Sanada Yutaka understood that this was a surprise to Takeda, because Takeda didn't know the specific situation yet, so he could only make some emergency measures, but this had already been calculated by Ueda Nobukata, so there was a big loophole.

After receiving the signal from Ueda Nobukata, Oi Sadakei immediately ordered his subordinates to erect flags representing Murakami, Ueda, Youzu, Oi, and Taguchi.

On Ueda's side are Satomi Yuzu, Motonao Youzu, and Masanao Youzu. Satomi Yuzu represents Nobukata Ueda, and only brings a small amount of ashigaru.

And Youzu Motonao, as his father-in-law, also gathered more than 300 troops to follow and lined up with Youzu Satomi.

Oi Sadakei and Taguchi Nagakei led more than 500 Sakushi people to line up.

Nearly a thousand troops appeared outside Mochizuki City, which surprised Mochizuki Nobuya, this was still snowing, and the snow was not shallow, he didn't expect that someone would come to beat him at this time.

In his cognition, there is something wrong with sending troops in winter, just like Takeda Harunobu, who lost in Uedawara when he sent troops in winter.

But now, there are nearly a thousand troops outside the city, and inside the city, in addition to his retainers and the Takeda retainers who protect his adopted son, there are dozens of standing ashigaru, adding up to a total of 100 people.

Nobuya Mochizuki didn't even think about it, and when she saw that the enemy had the banner of the Murakami family, she immediately said to the Takeda retainers next to her: "You must ask for help, let the surrounding cities come to reinforce!" ”

Kurihara Masaaki frowned and said, "Don't panic, we should find out the situation and tell the lord, and the lord will make a decision!" ”

Nobuya Mochizuki glared at Kurihara Masaaki, and the Takeda retainer in front of him was also a character, calmly fighting Murakami with Uehara Masatsu in the midst of the Toishi collapse, and steadily withdrawing his troops in Jizo.

Mochizuki Nobuya could only say: "We only have more than a hundred people, and the enemy army is ten times more than me, and we can't last a day, once the city is broken, the life of trust will end here."

Do you see the flag outside? Those are all enemies of the Takeda family, do you want to let trust die here? ”

The trust that Nobuya Mochizuki said was Takeda Yoshikatsu, the eldest son of Takeda Nobuyoshi.

Kurihara Masashi was also a little flustered, and he had no choice but to say: "Mochizuki still quickly summons the soldiers, and he can resist for as long as he can, and then he will send someone to ask for help." ”

At this moment, outside the city, Oi Sadakei said to Youzu Satomi, "Mrs. Satomi, leave this place to your command." ”

Satomi Yuzu held the horsewhip in her hand and frowned: "I am the chief general here, and Oizu can just follow the command." Father? ”

Youzu Yuan on the side nodded and said, "Satomi, please give an order." ”

Satomi ordered you: "Father leads your bow ashigaru forward, Yilong, you lead five iron cannon ashigaru to go together." ”

Youzu Motonao and Iwasita Ryu listened to the order, and Iwasita Ryu immediately led five iron cannons Ashigaru forward, and Youzu Masanao went out of battle instead of Youzu Motonao.

In the front row, more than a dozen ashigaru people stepped forward with wooden trumpets, and bowed ashigaru and iron cannon ashigaru followed closely behind.

When the defenders of the castle saw that Youzu Masanao and Iwasita Ryu were approaching, they immediately asked people to prepare for archery.

Soon after entering the land of one arrow, the two sides fired arrows at each other, and the bow foot light on Youzu's side immediately suffered casualties.

Some of the defenders of Mochizuki Castle were samurai, and their archery skills were much stronger than those of the bowshigaku, and their shots were very accurate.

However, when the iron cannon came within range, five iron cannons hit Mochizuki Castle, and one of the samurai was shot and immediately fell to the ground.

Nobuya Mochizuki was surprised: "It's an iron cannon!" ”

Kurihara Masaaki's face was also ugly, and he didn't expect that the enemy army still had iron cannons.

However, Kurihara Masakiyo still let the defenders continue to shoot arrows and suppress the enemy forces outside the city.

After three rounds of cannon fighting, Satomi asked people to withdraw their troops.

Oi Sadakei was greatly surprised and asked, "Lady Satomi, you can take Mochizuki City today!" ”

Satomi said indifferently: "This is all my husband's strategy. "Satomi didn't say that you people were bait or anything.

Oi Sadakei was speechless when he said this.
