Chapter 21 The Bullet of Attack

Unlike Musashi Matsuyama Castle, Ninja Castle was once an important stronghold of the Uesugi family in Musashi Province, with high moats and strong walls, which could accommodate tens of thousands of troops. In order to attack Kitamusashi, this place has also been used as the forward position of the Hojo family, and a large amount of grain, grass and ordnance have been hoarded. Ninja Castle, which is heavily guarded on weekdays, has weakened its defense at this time due to the transfer of troops from Tamu Mototada, but it still has 2,000 troops, and the defender Narita Nagatayasu is also a battle-hardened general. It's just that Cheng Tian Changtai has always been very qualified, and he has gone back and forth between the Hojo family and the Uesugi family, so the historical evaluation has not been high.

The news of Nagano Yemasa's attack was soon known by Narita Nagatai, and as an excellent Ergozai, he couldn't trust other people's ninjas, so he formed a ninja group to spy on intelligence. Originally, he planned to wait until Hojo Shiyasu was beaten into a pig's head three in Shimono Province before surrendering to the Uesugi family and leading the army to cut off Tamu Mototada's retreat, but what he didn't expect was that Hojo Shiyasu actually played at a super level and passed all the way. What made him even more entangled was that Nagano was not able to besiege Musashi Matsuyama Castle well and transferred the army to attack him, which made him very embarrassed.

In fact, Nagano Ye Zheng under the city is even more difficult, and after going around Ninja City, Nagano Ye Zheng feels that Musashi Matsuyama Castle is a fart, this is the real hard bone! It is estimated that it will take ten days and a half a month to fight for 20,000 people, but the allies of the Uesugi family may not be able to resist for that long.

"It's embarrassing." Nagano Ye was thinking about it for a long time, and there was nothing he could do, so he had to sigh and look at Tsukahara Molong, the expression was very obvious: This idea was yours, you should think about it! Tsukahara Molong is relaxed, he never worries about the siege, not because of how good his siege methods are, but there is a person in Molong Beili who makes him very relieved, that is Sanada Yutaka who is known as the "Attack Bullet Sho".

"Relax, you have to eat one bite at a time, and you have to fight one by one." Seeing that there was no one around, Tsukahara Moryū also showed his true face and said "relieved".

"Less nonsense! If it drags on any longer, the main force of Hojo Shiyasu will come! Nagano Yemasa had a bruised mob on his forehead, and he almost drew his knife and put it on Tsukahara Molong's neck.

"Actually, it's very simple, Kotaka, tell me what to do." Tsukahara Moryū threw the burden directly to Sanada Yutaka.

Fortunately, he was accustomed to Tsukahara Molong's style, and the two had already discussed the question of how to attack it on the way here, seeing that Tsukahara Molong himself did not talk about it, but gave himself the opportunity to come out, Sanada Yutaka glanced at Tsukahara Molong gratefully, and said respectfully: "No matter how strong the embankment is, it will collapse from the inside." Narita Nagata Nagata is a capricious man, where there is profit, he will go to whichever side, in the long run, his retainers will certainly have no sense of security, so if we tempt him to take advantage, there will be someone in the city who is willing to respond to our army. ”

"Well, so is there anyone to choose from?"

Sanada Yutaka bowed, bowed his head and said, "Please give the next three thousand military supplies for transfer, and within five days, give an answer to your lordship." ”

Five days? Nagano Yemasa nodded secretly, after all, Sanada Yutaka is from a Shinano wealthy family, and he has no foundation in Musashi Country, and he can open his mouth to guarantee that he will answer within five days, so self-confidence must have sufficient strength as support, and Sanada Yukitaka, who has been unknown, is about to enter the stage of history in his own way.

After withdrawing from the big tent, Tsukahara Moryo quipped: "This time the life and death of the whole army will be up to you." ”

"It will definitely live up to Molong's expectations!" After Sanada Yutaka, who has always been full of economy but has no opportunity to display his talents, got this mission, his eyes that were originally a little hesitant were shining at the moment, and he was full of gratitude to Tsukahara Moryū. And he also knows very well that now is a race against time, and if he can't settle Ninja Castle before the Hojo clan goes north or the Hojo clan Yasu captures the Furukawa Imperial Palace, the entire Uesugi army is in danger of being destroyed. A sense of pride in the mission from heaven arises spontaneously!

It's just that the thing that made Tsukahara Molong sleep and couldn't sleep still happened, and on the third day of Sanada Yutaka's adjustment, news came from Kato Duanzo: Hojo Shiyasu captured the Furukawa Imperial Palace, and in the name of the Furukawa Princess, ordered the Utsunomiya family, the Satake family, the Yuki family, the Oda family and the Hojo family to make peace, and asked them to accompany the army. Almost overnight, the Kanto region changed dramatically, with the main army of the Hojo Army swelling to a terrifying 38,000 men, and the Hojo clan, who had been repairing at Jade Rope Castle, led his army north, aiming for Musashi Matsuyama Castle. This means...... The direction of the main corps of the Hojo family will be ...... Ninja Castle!

Knowing that the situation had taken a sharp turn for the worse, Sanada Yukitaka's rebellion work was also in trouble, and Narita Nagatai's retainers were greedy, but in the face of the overwhelming military superiority of the Hojo family, they were still unwilling to wade into this troubled water. For a time, the Uesugi family was in a predicament embattled.

"Mo Long, do you have any plans?" Inukai Yoshio said to Tsukahara Molong with difficulty, after all, he and the others are outside the city of Ninja City, if they capture the city of Ninja, there is still hope to defend the city and resist the army of the Hojo family, but now, ...... If we talk about field warfare, how can a mere 7,000 men stop the strength of 38,000 troops? Not only Inukai Yoshio, but also Hideyin Kamizumi and others also looked at Tsukahara Molong, and even Sasaki Nagahide, who has always been eager to make contributions, also looked over, but Zhou Dashuai was still very relaxed, as if he led an army of 38,000, while the Hojo family only had 7,000 people.

Tsukahara Molong laughed loudly: "What are you going to do?" Of course, it's about how to be loyal to the Lord! Looking around at everyone, Tsukahara Molong's smile gradually faded: "As a samurai, you should put the lord's family first, and now I am waiting under the ninja city, and I must not retreat, otherwise the lord's army will face the Hojo family's army." I know that the disparity in strength between the two sides is too great, but is this the reason why we give up the dignity of the samurai, abandon the trust of the lord, and flee back like a dog? Everyone didn't dare to look at Tsukahara Molong, and they all lowered their heads in shame.

"What's more, don't you get less white eyes at home on weekdays? Haven't had enough? Tsukahara Molong shouted angrily, and the scenes of the past echoed in everyone's minds, and many people already had killing intent in their eyes. On weekdays, we came out together and formed the Demon Dragon Society, but who really took us seriously? They all think we're just idle prodigal kids. Are we really just penniless wastes who survive on the protection of our families? Are we really unambitious and eating rice worms waiting to die? ”

"Not !!" The roars came and went, and Tsukahara Molong's words obviously poked at their sore spots, no matter how cheerful they were on the surface, their embarrassing social status and family status still hadn't changed, how could a young man with strong blood turn a blind eye to this? The more indifferent the face, the more painful it is in the heart. Therefore, they are willing to join Mo Longbei, hoping to win their martial arts fame and gain the recognition of their family. If you really run away without a fight now, what face will you have to meet your family?

"But our background determines that if we want to be brilliant, we must give more than others, even our lives! But, so what? The cherry blossoms are splendid, as long as they have bloomed, they are enough to be remembered by the world, the weeds are hurried, no matter how lush they grow, they are only trampled under the feet of others?!! ”

"Willing to die for Molong!!" The people who were originally attached to Tsukahara Molong began to change their mentality slowly, at first they were just envious of his superb swordsmanship, but now, Tsukahara Molong has really won their hearts.

And Zhou Dashuai on the side was a little staggering, patronizing and spreading the "seeds of love" in Japan, he didn't understand the strong cherry blossom plot of the Japanese during the Warring States Period, the kind of madness that struggled to bloom even if it withered, but he knew that it might be difficult for him to get out now......
