Takigawa Kazuyi smiled after hearing this, but did not speak, and after leaving Sabei with a back, he disappeared from Sabei's sight.

Sabei looked at the direction of Oda Nobunaga's main camp and shook his head, as the gateway to the southern part of Kai, the Anayama Nobuyan of Shimoyama Castle has not yet abandoned the idea of abandoning the Takeda family, these wealthy families thought that they could eat on both sides, but they didn't know that they were also pawns on both sides.

After Oda Nobunaga successively sent away these wealthy clans of Nanjiafei, he summoned his eight generals to participate in the evaluation.

As the weakest general, Sabei naturally can't get any good positions, and the same as Sabei is the Takenaka Hanbei who sits opposite Sabei.

Oda Nobunaga, who was sitting at the top, pointed to the hand-drawn map in front of the generals, and asked the eight generals on the left and right: "Shimoyama Castle is the residence of the clan of Kai Takeda Ichigo, and this person has been on the Takeda Shingen expedition for several years, so it should not be taken lightly!" ”

At this time, Yushiba Hideyoshi said in a statement: "My lord, I heard that Anayama Nobuyoshi is an extraordinary man and martial artist, and he is quite prestigious among the people, and at the same time he is also quite prestigious in Takeda's family, it is not easy to persuade this person to surrender, and I think I can send someone to spread rumors, and divide Anayama Nobuyan and Takeda Katsuyori, and finally the lord will lure him with profit, and Shimoyama Castle will become a thing in the hands of the lord." ”

Hearing this, Sakuma Nobumori laughed and said, "If you use your strategy as a monkey, I don't know when you will be able to force Anayama Nobuyojun to surrender, and Takeda Katsuyori can gather the forces of Kai and even Minami Shinano in this large amount of time to deal with it." ”

At this time, Takigawa Kazuyi also echoed his words: "Our army's battle is precisely because of the high morale of our family's new victory, and when Takeda's new defeat is demoralized, it broke into the Kai country and gave the Takeda clan a fatal blow when the Takeda clan was at its weakest. ”

"Okay, monkey, put your plan aside for the time being, this battle must be resolved quickly, the Hojo clan was annihilated by me in Suruga with 5,000 troops, and we will not give up." Oda Nobunaga spoke out and directly vetoed Hideyoshi's plan.

Sabei looked at this formation, laughed secretly, and then looked at the Takenaka Hanbei opposite, only to see that the Takenaka Hanbei was also looking at him, the two were a little embarrassed for a moment, and then politely bowed their heads, and then turned their eyes to Oda Nobunaga on the top.

After rejecting Hideyoshi Hashiba's plan, Oda Nobunaga pointed his finger at Shimoyama Castle on the map and looked around the crowd with a sharp gaze. Seeing this, everyone immediately lowered their heads and looked at the location that Oda Nobunaga was pointing at, and Sabei looked at the Shimoyama Castle built at the exit of the narrow canyon, and for a while he didn't know what Oda Nobunaga meant by pointing his finger there.

After everyone looked at the map that Oda Nobunaga pointed out intently, Oda Nobunaga said to everyone: "Shimoyama Castle must be broken, but it is not the first choice. ”

Sabei instantly understood Oda Nobunaga's intentions, surrounded Shimoyama Castle, and waited for Takeda Katsuyori to lead the army to come to the rescue, that is, to encircle the point and send reinforcements.

Oda Nobunaga then stood up again and said to everyone: "The second, third, fourth, and fifth formations surround Shimoyama Castle, the sixth formation is with my main formation, the seventh and eighth formations are on guard and standby in this formation, and the ninth formation is on guard on the periphery of Shimoyama Castle to prevent Takeda Katsuyori from leading troops to come to help." ”

When the generals heard this, they immediately bowed their heads and promised.

Sabei thought about walking out of Oda Nobunaga's main camp, and Ikeda Hengxing on the side said to Sabei with a smile: "Sabei, the lord asked you to be on guard on the periphery, not just for you to be on guard, the purpose of the lord's siege is to lead Takeda Katsuyori to Shimoyama Castle, you need to cooperate with the lord!" ”

Hearing this, Sabei thanked Ikeda Hengxing, and then bowed his head to say goodbye to Ikeda Hengxing, and returned to the camp where he was temporarily stationed with the sword at his waist.

Without waiting for Sabei to arrange tasks in the camp, Oda Nobunaga's horse came to inform Sabei, and Oda Nobunaga ordered Sabei to lead a special team to go out to Shimoyama Castle to inquire about the situation.

After receiving the order, Sabei immediately commanded his troops to march to Shimoyama Castle. Oda Nobunaga sent himself out not to inquire about the situation, but to tell the Takeda army in Shimoyama Castle that the Oritoku coalition army was coming!

Sure enough, before the Sabei Ritsatzgruppen set off, Oda Nobunaga sent Sabei's old acquaintance Kawajiri Hidetaka, at this time Kawajiri Hidetaka also had the same tempering of war as Sabei, and the faded youth Kawajiri Hidetaka said with a smile on his face when he saw Sabei: "Kubei, are you still worried about Sabei?" I don't often go to my house in Gifu Castle! ”

Hearing this, Sabei said with a smile: "Lord Xiulong and your three brothers are the lord's left and right, sent by the lord, I have visited many times, but only the lady is at home, and you are now blaming me!" ”

Hidetaka Kawajiri laughed when he heard this, then waved his hand to the standing guard behind him, and brought a man dressed as a farmer to Sabei and the others.

Without waiting for Sabei to ask, Hidetaka Kawajiri had already spoken: "This person is a ranbo sent by the Takeda Army, who wanted to inquire about the situation of our army, and was caught by the samurai under Lord Yiyi; Now the lord has ordered me to set out with Sabei's special team and slay this ninja at the foot of Shimoyama Castle. ”

Sabei nodded, and took Hidetaka Kawajiri and set off towards Shimoyama Castle.

On the way, there was no ambush by the Takeda army, presumably knowing that the Oritoku coalition was approaching, Anayama Nobujun gathered all the surrounding forces in Shimoyama Castle, preparing to temporarily delay Oda Nobunaga's pace with Shimoyama Castle.

Gradually, the outline of Shimoyama Castle appeared in Sabei's eyes, and after a while, Sabei heard the sound of bells ringing from Shimoyama Castle, presumably the defenders of Shimoyama Castle had discovered their special forces.

In this case, Sabei shouted at the samurai around him, "Rush over!" ”

Yanbi Sabei said to Hidetaka Kawajiri on the side: "Hidetaka, you don't have to follow, you can carry out your mission later!" ”

Seeing Kawajiri Hidetaka nodding, Sabei led his subordinates to run towards Shimoyama Castle with a loud voice. Sabei, who was on horseback, could even hear the sound of the samurai scolding Ashigaru in Shimoyama Castle.

After a while, the Sabei led his army to line up at the foot of Shimoyama Castle, and the defenders of the castle fired several bows and arrows to warn Sabei. Seeing this, Sabei laughed, and then shouted to the defenders of Shimoyama Castle: "My lord Oda Nobunaga led the army to conquer Takeda Katsuyori, if Lord Anayama is aware of current affairs, please also ask Lord Anayama to write a letter of surrender and surrender to the lord, otherwise don't blame the lord for being polite!" ”

Soon after, a voice came from Shimoyama Castle: "Oda Nobunaga is just a small wealthy clan in Owari, and he dares to shout against the Kai Yuanliu Takeda clan, so there is no need to say that I Shin-kun and Shimoyama Castle will live and die together!" ”

As he spoke, a crisp explosion of gunpowder rang out from the walls of Shimoyama Castle, and then a cloud of dust and mist rose from the ground in front of Sabei. Seeing this, the attendants of the Sabei also hurriedly blocked the Sabei with wooden signs. Seeing this, Sabei's face turned cold, and then he waved his hand to Hidetaka Kawajiri beside him, and Hidetaka Kawajiri dragged the man dressed as a farmer to appear under Shimoyama Castle.

The two followers held this person's neck, and Kawajiri Hidetaka said loudly in the direction of Shimoyama Castle: "This person is a spy captured by our army, and now it is especially effective to behead him!" ”

The man was gagged by Hidetaka Kawajiri and wanted to speak but couldn't.

Kawajiri Hidetaka raised the knife in his hand and slashed at the man, and in an instant, the person's head and body were separated, rolling to the ground, his eyes looked in the direction of the lower mountain city, and a black cloth was stuffed in his mouth.
