。

In the evening, the sun is setting.

Outside the gate of Miki Castle, Shinji Nishiki looked at Nobutaha Nishiki, who was dressed in military uniform, and said, "Shinzhen, everything is up to you." This is a letter written for my father's pen to Matsumoto Castle Yoshimitsu-sama, so don't give it to Yoshimitsu-sama yourself if you put it away. In addition, this is the family's family treasure Wakicha small text oblique moon.,It's handed over to you for self-defense.。 When you return to Miki Castle, if the Nitogi family is preserved, you will inherit the position of head of the Nitoki family. ”

During the Warring States period in Japan, any samurai family with a slight connection would pass down the corresponding family treasure to correspond to the identity of the head of the family. Takeda's Imperial Banner, Maeda's Grand Ceremony Daikoyo, and Ashikaga's Famous Sword Onimaru are all like this, and there is no doubt that this rib difference small text oblique moon is proof of the identity of the head of the Niki family. Now that Shinji Nishiki has given the small text of the oblique moon to Nobutahada, the implication of this is naturally self-evident.

Although Renmu Nobuzhen had long regarded the position of the head of the Renmu clan as something in his pocket, at this time, he was still trembling with excitement when he saw this small text, and he could hardly help himself. "Haha, Xinzhen must not be sorry for my father's entrustment to invite reinforcements to protect my Renmu family."

Nobutra Nishiki solemnly and respectfully accepted the letter and family treasure handed by Nobuji Renmu and bowed down to him.

"Let's go."

Immediately after that, Nobutada Nishiki gave the order to set off to a dozen or so selected elite peasant soldiers behind him, so they quickly marched in the direction of the Kano Valley while it was night.

The Kashino Valley is a valley about several meters long, surrounded by mountains on both sides. As a result, the Kano Valley has also become the main road leading from Miki Castle to Matsumoto Castle in the inner ditch of the Matsugami family's territory, and although the mountain roads on both sides can be climbed, the dangers are extremely unacceptable.

The Ohno family has lived in the vicinity of the Kano Valley for generations, and is naturally familiar with the location, so it is easy for Ohno to surmise that the Kano Valley is the only place for the Nishiki family to break through and ask for help. In addition, the Renmu family is now a turtle in the urn, and they are almost waiting for death, so Ono Pingnobu, who firmly believes that the Renmu family will break through, has set up a heavy army near the Kano Valley to ambush the army of the Renmu family for help.

"Father, does the Nitoki family really have the courage to break through? Nobuhei thought they didn't have the guts, and it was too cold in this Kano Valley!"

Now it is autumn and the cold wind is biting, and the special terrain of the Kashino Valley is just the right time to gather the cold wind in the valley road, which makes it even colder. Nobuhei Ohno has been pampered since he was a child, so he naturally can't stand this bone-chilling wind, and after waiting for several hours at this time, he didn't see any trace of Renmujun, so he secretly retreated. However, due to the intimidation of his father Ohno Pingxin, he dared to withdraw directly, so he had to complain and secretly express his intention to withdraw in a few statements.

"Ahhh What Nobuhei said made sense, and Nobuya thought that the Renmu family didn't have the courage to go out of the city. Ono Nobuya, who has always been at odds with his younger brother Nobuhei Ohno, was also frozen at this time and sneezed repeatedly, so he did not disagree with his brother for the first time but agreed with his words.

As the so-called knowing son Mo Ruo's father, Ono Nobuya and Ono Nobuhei's careful thinking naturally can't hide from their father Ohno Heixin. This Ono Heinobu is also a merciful person, if he was afraid in the past, he would have obeyed their opinions, but now that the chaos of the Matsugami family has come, he can't tolerate them acting so recklessly.

"Taro, Matajiro, the former public family was taken away by our samurai family because of their greed for Henle. As a samurai, you have a tenacious and unyielding character, and if you can't bear this pain, you are not worthy of being a descendant of my Ono clan. ”

"Father!"

"Father!"

Seeing his father Ohno Heinobu reprimanding him like this, Ohno Nobuya and Ohno Pingxin couldn't help but refute it.

"Hey, hey, hey." However, there was a sudden sound of horses roaring in the distance, like a thunderclap on a normal night, which woke everyone up.

"Shut up!" As if anticipating what was happening, Ohno Heinobu immediately silenced everyone, while he himself leaned on the ground and listened carefully to the distant voice.

"Hey, hey, hey." Sure enough, a sound of horse chirping that was clearer than just now came into Ohno's ears, and Ohno Heinobu, who had been in battle for a long time, immediately understood that the big fish he had been waiting for for a long time was finally here.

"Xinping, this place is condescending. You stay here to command the archers, and once the Nishiki army penetrates into the Kano Valley, you order the Ashigaru to shoot arrows. ”

"Nobuya, together with your father, you will lead the elite Ashigaru to guard the main road to Matsugami Castle on the east side of the Kano Valley. No one can let it go, otherwise the things that my family has been planning for so long may be in vain. The fighter plane was fleeting, and Nobu Ohno, who knew how to do it, quickly conveyed the military meeting to his two sons without hesitation.

"Haha."

"Haha." Nobuya Ohno and Nobu Hirao, who had been waiting for so long, finally got a reward, and they were happy to accept the order, and soon the war machine of Ohno was running rapidly.

At the same time, the Nishiki army, which had broken through under the leadership of Nobusada Nitoki, finally rushed to the outside of the Kano Valley.

"Hahahaha, I originally thought Ohno Heinobu was such a hero, I didn't want it to be a false name. At the beginning, the main hall thought that the hole in the defense line of the Ono Army was a decoy deliberately released by the Ono family, and it was this intention to induce the family. Along the way, the main hall was cautious to prevent the ambush attack of the Ohno family, and he didn't want this loophole to be true. Ladies and gentlemen, speed up, and the family will be saved through this Kanotani. ”

Nobuta Renki, who finally arrived outside the Kano Valley, was very relieved, and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little contemptuous of the big catch that he had been guarding against. This way, I have tried to take precautions but I can't wait for the ambush of the Ohno family, it seems that this Ohno Heixin is also in vain!

"Let's go!"

Immediately, Nobutada Nishiki ordered an advance to the Kano Valley.

"Your Highness, slow down, this Ono Heixin is not a mediocre talent who has been fighting against the lord for many years! What's more, the Ohno family has always been strict in governing the army, and now that the family is deeply involved, it is impossible for the Ohno family to be ignorant. What's more, this action of this family was originally a matter of nine deaths and one life, and now that the wind and waves are calm, I'm afraid it's a little abnormal. In my opinion, His Royal Highness Yizhen might as well send a spy to find out one or two first, so that it is a foolproof strategy. At this moment, someone suddenly spoke up behind Nobutada Nishiki to persuade him to march steadily.

"What? Kizo-sama, are you questioning the main hall's decision?" Renmu Xinzhen never expected that someone would dare to stop his decision, and he suddenly became impatient, and when he turned around, he saw that this person was the old minister of the Renmu family, and he was even more angry.

"I dare to do it in the next place, but my Muzao clan is favored by the Renmu family, so I naturally have to plan a little more for the Renmu family."

If the ordinary retainers see that Renmu Xinzhen is angry, they will naturally want to give in one or two, but this wooden Zhengzhong is extraordinary. One is that his family name is quite originative, the ancestor is a concubine of the Kizo clan, a branch of the Kitabatake clan of the famous Ise family, and the other is Kizo Masadada, who is also an old minister of the Niki clan, and has a high prestige in Miki Castle. Therefore, he did not give an inch to Shinji Renmu, and the two of them were a little tense for a while.
