Standing in the middle of the formation, he looked at Fuzhong City not far away, and said to the seahorse Yijia beside him: "The Yijia don't have to be discouraged, it is also a merit for us to guard this formation, why be so lost!" ”

The Haima Yijia listened to the words of the burning sky, smiled and said: "My lord said that I am laughing, I am not lost in the bottom, but what is the use of thinking about those peasant soldiers who have no combat power to follow us north?" Although the spring ploughing has been completed, but the field still needs to be taken care of, the adults have not planted the field do not know the truth is also natural, but the people of Echizen this year have suffered, North Vietnam should have just ended spring ploughing not long ago, this war, and I don't know how many people will die! ”

Burning Sky listened to the words of the Seahorse Yijia, and said with a wry smile in his heart, of course he knew the truth, but if there were no people as cannon fodder, the battle would not be easy to fight in the future!

After the Shibata Katsuya unfolded more than 10,000 troops, he sent people to persuade the defenders of Fuchu Castle to surrender. The commander of Fuchu Castle was a member of the Asakura family, and the people sent by the Shibata Katsuya to persuade him to surrender were Tomita Nagashige and Mae-Ha Yoshitsugu. Although Mae-Hayoshi tried his best, Asakura Keimasa was unmoved and insisted on fighting the Oda army to the end.

Shibata Katsuie, who learned that the persuasion had failed, after consulting with Niwa Nagahide, launched the first wave of offensive against Fuchu Castle. The generals who commanded the first wave of the offensive were none other than Wasuka Masakatsu and Takenaka Shigeharu, and the first wave of troops was naturally the Kita-Omi army of Hashiba Hideyoshi and the Tsuruga peasant soldiers.

Burning Sky looked at the peasant soldiers who rushed up with Shigeharu Takenaka with a bamboo spear, sighed slightly, and said to Youyisuke, who was still in a state of despair beside him: "Youyisuke, fortunately, Shibata-sama didn't let us take the lead, how can you be called a samurai now?" ”

After listening to the words of the burning sky, Youichizuke lowered his head and muttered, "Senior brother, is a samurai such a filthy existence?" ”

Hearing this, Burning Sky grabbed the neckline of Amitabha Buddha on Right Ichisuke's body, pulled Right Ichisuke in front of him and said, "Right Ichisuke, do you know what you're talking about?" Look at those peasant soldiers, they are digging in the fields on weekdays, and they have to follow their lord to fight in wartime, maybe they can't survive this battle, so what are they in your heart? ”

After saying that, he threw the right Ichisuke to the ground, and said to Fushiwa Mingjiro: "Mingjiro took him to camp with the peasant soldiers, and you look at him!" Fushiwa Akijiro saw that Burning Sky was angry at Right Ichisuke for the first time, and after listening to Burning Sky's order, he immediately helped Right Ichisuke up and took it away.

The surrounding samurai and ashigaru looked at the right Ichisuke who was helped away by Fushiwa Akijiro, and saw the angry burning sky looking around at everyone, and they couldn't help but feel a little furious in their hearts. Shibata Katsuie, who was in this formation, looked at the burning sky guarding in front of the formation, and whispered to Niwa Nagahide, "Do you feel that the Mingsha Gate has changed?" ”

Niwa Nagahide was silent for a while after hearing this, and then said to Shibata Katsuie: "The first time I slaughtered the city, I was a little angry in my heart, and it will be fine after a while." ”

After listening to Niwa Nagahide's words, Shibata Katsuie looked at Fuchu Castle. At this time, the Oda army had slowly dragged under the trench of Fuchu Castle, and the sound of iron cannons on Fuchu Castle rang out one after another, and the projectiles hit the wooden planks held by the Oda army, making a dull sound. Some unlucky samurai and ashigaru were shot by arrows that crossed the planks in the front row.

Burning Sky looked at the slow-moving military momentum under Fuchu Castle, and glanced back at Shibata Katsuie and Niwa Nagahide, who were chatting and laughing. Niwa Nagahide, who was aware of the burning sky's gaze, nodded at the burning sky, and the burning sky also nodded to Niwa Nagahide when he saw this, and then withdrew his gaze and looked at the battle under Fuzhong Castle again. Even a wise general like Shigeharu Takenaka, in the face of this kind of cage battle, if he wants to advance, he can only fill it with human lives.

However, the house leak happened to rain overnight, and the firepower of Fuzhong Castle was very fierce in the early days of the Cage Battle, and ammunition and arrows were well stocked. Shigeharu Takenaka and Masakatsu Wasuka attempted to lead their samurai across the trench several times, but they all failed.

Shibata Katsuie, who was sitting in the main formation, looked at Shigeharu Takenaka and Masaka Wasuka Masakatsu, who had failed several strong attacks, and waved his hand to the attendants on the side, and the attendants saw this and walked outside the main camp and said to the conch trumpeters who were guarding near the main formation: "Sound the horn and retreat!" ”

As a long conch horn sounded under Fuchu Castle, Shigeharu Takenaka and Masakatsu Wasuka, who had suffered several defeats, returned to the formation with nearly a third of their men and the peasants who were hiding behind and did not dare to attack.

The Burning Sky guarding outside the main camp saw Shigeharu Takenaka and Masakatsu Wasuka entering the main camp with their heads bowed and their faces covered in blood. Seeing this, Suzuki Heavy Industries whispered to the burning sky and said, "My lord, is this the ability of the famous Shibata-sama?" After hearing this, Burning Sky glanced back at Suzuki Heavy Industries, and whispered to Suzuki Heavy Industries: "Gorou Guard, think about it again, if you are an incompetent person, how can you be appreciated by the lord and become the head of the family?" ”

After saying that, he looked in the direction of Fuzhong Castle, and suddenly asked Suzuki Heavy Industries, "Gorou Guard, are we a little too much?" Suzuki Heavy Industries listened to the sudden sentence of the burning sky, and after being silent for a few breaths, he said in a low voice: "Presumably the lord is difficult to put down now!" Not to mention the right one! ”

After listening to Suzuki Heavy Industries' words, Burning Sky showed a trace of loss on his face, and then asked Suzuki Heavy Industries, "Goroubei, am I going to apologize to Ichisuke on the right?" After listening to the words of the burning air, Suzuki Heavy Industries smiled and said: "Lord, this matter can't be done in the future, and the lord has to solve it himself!" ”

Hearing this, Burning Sky shook his head, and was about to ask Suzuki Heavy Industries about it, when a close attendant of the Shibata Katsu family came out of the formation, and said to Burning Sky: "Lord Hieiyama, the lord has summoned you to go in to discuss matters!" After hearing this, Burning Sky glanced at Suzuki Heavy Industries, and Suzuki Heavy Industries nodded knowingly. Afterwards, Burning Sky followed Shibata Katsuya's attendants towards the main formation.

As soon as Burning Sky entered the main formation, he saw Shigeharu Takenaka and Masakatsu Wasuka half-kneeling on the ground. Burning Sky looked up at Shibata Katsuie, only to see Shibata Katsuie's face gloomy, and Niwa Nagahide on the side also had a bad face. Burning Sky stepped forward and bowed his bow, then stood aside and waited for Shibata Katsuie to speak.

After the five of them were silent for almost a moment, Shibata Katsuie, who couldn't bear it, took the lead in saying to the burning sky: "Mingshamen, Takenaka Hanbei and Wasuka Koroku want to ask for another 2,000 troops and guarantee to take Fuchu Castle within three days, what do you think about this?" ”

After hearing this, his heart sank, and Shibata Katsuya asked himself how dare he be the master. After pondering for a few breaths, Burning Sky bowed his head to Shibata Katsuya and said, "I don't dare to speak falsely if I have a little knowledge, and I hope that Lord Shibata will forgive me!" ”

After listening to the words of the burning air, Shibata Katsuya got up and said to Shigeharu Takenaka and Masakatsu Wasuka: "Ming Shamen used a plan to capture the first three cities of South Vietnam in one night, and he still said that he was a little knowledgeable; Hanbei, what plan do you have to take the former gateway of North Vietnam in three days? ”

After listening to Shibata Katsuie's words, Takenaka Shigeharu raised his head and said to Shibata Katsuie: "Shibata-sama, this is a secret plan, it can't be entered into the four ears, as long as the Lord deploys two thousand Mino troops for me, I will guarantee to attack Fuzhong Castle within three days!" ”
