Chapter 173: Wait for the Dead

After Shibata Katsuie retreated to the vicinity of Hino Mountain Castle, he immediately ordered his men to set up a horse-barring fence around it. Niwa Nagahide also summoned Burning Sky to his side to discuss how to deal with the Asakura family's military situation, and after meeting with Shibata Katsuya and Niwa Nagahide, he said to the two: "Shibata-sama, what kind of formation will we use to deal with the Asakura army. ”

After listening to the words of the Burning Sky, Shibata Katsuya said to the Burning Sky without hesitation: "I am going to list the Glaive Formation to deal with the Asakura army, and you will be the eye of the Glaive Formation when the Ming Shamen arrives, and I will hand over my close servants and elites to you." ”

After listening to Shibata Katsuya's words, Burning Sky immediately bowed his head and said: "My lord, is the Glaive Array a little unsafe, I think it is more secure to list the Fangyuan Array, I hope your Excellency is thinking about it!" ”

After listening to the words of the burning sky, Shibata Katsuya raised his head and said to the burning sky: "Ming Shamen, you Ming have an allusion to the 'last battle', and now our situation is like that, only in this way can we force everyone's potential." ”

Burning Sky nodded, then bowed his head to Shibata Katsuya and said, "Lord Shibata, I have already sent my men to inform the former cities of South Vietnam, and let them go out with a battleable army. ”

Niwa Nagahide on the side listened to the words of the burning sky, glanced at the burning sky, and then said to Shibata Katsuya: "Quan Liu, it's good that these troops in front of South Vietnam can be used by me, if they are angry again, I am afraid that we will fall into the situation of being attacked on the back of the enemy, Ming Shamen, you are too reckless this time, why don't you discuss with us in advance?" ”

Listening to Niwa Nagahide's words, Burning Sky said to Niwa Nagahide and Shibata Katsuie, who was in deep thought: "The wealthy clans of the former Nanetsu have betrayed the Asakura family, and if they betray the family again, they will be regarded as enemies by the family, and secondly, they will also be hated by the Asakura family, and even if they surrender to the Asakura family again, they will not necessarily be exonerated from their crimes. ”

"Okay, since the Ming Sha Gate has informed the cities of Nanyue Qian, I will send someone to supervise it again." Shibata Katsuie's last words decided the matter. Seeing this, Burning Sky and Niwa Nagahide no longer disputed the matter. After Shibata Katsuya told the Burning Sky a few words, he ordered the Burning Sky to go and rectify the elite in the mouth of the Shibata Katsuya.

Soon after, Fushiwa Akijiro, who had gone to inform the former castles of South Vietnam, returned to the camp, and then the former castles of South Vietnam did their best to form an army of nearly 2,000 men. According to Minamijo Terukei and Yojiro Toda, the samurai and ashigaru in this army of nearly 2,000 people are all from their own families. Shibata Katsuya saw Nan Tian Huijing and the others coming to converge with nearly two thousand troops, and after expressing his gratitude, he immediately arranged them in his glaive formation.

Just when the whole army was fighting, the former Poji came to look for the Burning Sky, hoping that the Burning Sky could allow him to lead the peasants to press the formation behind. After listening to some ridiculous remarks from Mae-Ha Yoshitsugu, he said to Mae-Ha Yoshitsugu: "Sen-sama, I am not the commander-in-chief, and I can't make the decision on this matter, but I will explain to Shibata-sama that these peasant soldiers are indeed unable to cope with the offensive of the Asakura family. ”

Just as the Burning Sky was about to leave, Shibata Katsuie's order came down, and the Burning Sky led more than 1,200 elites as the eyes of the formation, serving as the first formation to cut and attack the Asakura army from the flank. Niwa Nagahide led 2,000 men to follow the crescent moon behind the Burning Sky Formation, Shibata Katsuie led the rest of the army as the moon wheel of the Glaive Formation to resist the frontal attack of the Asakura army, and Maehayoshitsugu led more than 2,000 peasant soldiers to press behind the formation and was responsible for assisting the front battle.

Waiting for the arrival of the enemy army is the most painful thing, although Burning Sky has seen a lot of Asakura family spies fighting horses from a distance to watch the formation of the Oda army, but Burning Sky can't go out to capture these Asakura family spies back.

Shibata Katsuya also looked completely ignorant of these Asakura spies, allowing them to watch their formation from a distance.

It wasn't until it was getting late that the spies of the Asakura family left from the front of the Oda army. And after the spies of the Asakura family left, Shibata Katsuya summoned the generals of each array to the camp to discuss matters.

Burning Hollow, who participated in the discussion, originally thought that Shibata Katsuie would inform everyone to change the formation and other things, so he took Shibata Katsuya and summoned everyone to the camp, just to inform everyone that Oda Nobunaga was very concerned about the attack on North Vietnam, and if everyone lost this battle, everyone would be punished by Oda Nobunaga, and even have to apologize.

After the so-called deliberations were over, Burning Sky whispered to Nanjo Terukei and Toda Yojiro, who looked a little nervous beside him: "Nanjo-sama, Toda-sama, the lord is a person with clear rewards and punishments. After listening to the words of the burning sky, Nanjo Terukei's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he asked in a low voice to the burning sky, "Lord Hieiyama, the lord... Your Highness, is it really clear that there are rewards and punishments? ”

After hearing this, Burning Sky said with a smile: "Lord Yuchai used to be just the servant of the lord, but now he is an important minister of the 100,000 stone family of Kita-Omi; It's just a sand gate from the Ming Kingdom. ”

After listening to the words of the burning sky, Nanjo Terukei whispered something to Toda and Jiro, and after Toda and Jiro heard it, a trace of doubt and hesitation appeared on their faces, and then they nodded after confirming again and again to Nanjo Terukei.

Burning Sky looked at the two people who were whispering in front of him, and said to the two: "I wish the two adults good luck!" The two realized that Burning Sky was beside them, so they bowed their heads to Burning Sky and blessed Burning Sky, and then the three of them returned to their camps.

Returning to the camp, Burning Sky gathered his generals and told everyone about the fierce battle that might take place tomorrow. After listening to the narration of the Burning Sky, the generals in the Burning Sky Array all looked like they were ready to fight at any time. Seeing this, Burning Sky took the opportunity to encourage everyone again, and told everyone that Oda Nobunaga was concerned about the Echizen expedition and established his reputation in this battle.

After some instigation, the morale of the generals of the team who burned the strength of his troops was the first to be stimulated. After the generals of these teams left, Burning Sky summoned his team to his side, and said to Fushiwa Mingjiro and others: "In the battle of tomorrow, although the army of this family is at a disadvantage, it has the potential to fight against the water, as long as everyone works together, they will definitely be able to defeat the Asakura army." ”

After encouraging his subordinates, Burning Sky found the right Ichisuke who was sitting alone in the camp. After seeing the incineration, the right Ichisuke subconsciously went to avoid the incineration, and was just about to get up when the incineration held him down by the scenary. Burning Sky looked at Right Ichisuke, who was a little confused and frightened in his eyes, gently stroked Right Ichisuke's head, and whispered to Right Ichisuke: "Tomorrow, you will follow the peasant soldiers of the former Bo Jiji!" ”

After listening to Kinku's words, Ichisuke looked up into Kinku's eyes and wanted to say something, but in the end he nodded and turned to walk towards Fushiwa Akijiro on the side.

Fushiwa Akijiro nodded at the burning sky, then returned to the camp with Ichisuke You, who looked up at the full moon in the sky and laughed to himself. Then he touched the jade pendant on his waist and said in the direction of Qifu: "Ah Xiu, rest assured, our army will win tomorrow." Then he looked to the north and said, "Lord Takenaka, I wish I were one of the few confidants you have in this world." ”
