Tsukahara Senbei, who was dressed in military uniform, smiled and took the flask from the saddle and threw one to Sanada Nobutsuna, who was still a little blindfolded: "How? Your first battle is perfect! ”

Sanada Nobutsuna, who caught the wine, was still a little shy, but his eyes were bright, and the first battle was very important for a samurai, and the widespread opinion during the Warring States period was that if the first battle could be victorious, it would be a good omen for his life's martial luck. Moreover, when evaluating a person's military talent, the first battle is also an important indicator. The historical Hojo clan Yasu did not perform well in the initial battle, so he was despised by the retainers for a long time, but fortunately, the Hojo clan supported him, otherwise it was a question whether he could successfully inherit the position of family governor. The beginning of the conflict between Takeda Shingen and his father Takeda Shintora was also Takeda Shingen's first battle, because he had no actual combat experience, Takeda Shingen, who was provoked by the enemy and sent troops without authorization, almost led to the defeat of the entire campaign, which made Takeda Shintora very dissatisfied with him. Later, it was Itagaki Nobukata and Gan Li Hutai who persuaded Takeda Shintora bitterly, which gave Takeda Shingen a second chance, and led the army to attack the opponent's city at night on the night of the initial defeat, and captured the city in one fell swoop. As the young master of the small wealthy family, Sanada Nobutsuna has also been waiting for his first battle, but he never expected that the first battle would be a big battle like the Battle of Jiangmenshan that is enough to affect the situation in the Kanto region, and this alone is enough for many people to boast about for a lifetime. Counting the series of pursuit battles and siege battles that followed, Sanada Nobutsuna's initial battle achieved unimaginable success for ordinary people, and he won thirteen samurai heads alone! He led the army to capture several small cities without losing a single soldier, but expanded the army under his command to as many as 300 people, and the actual command of the army even exceeded the authority of the Ashigaru general! All of this made Sanada Nobutsuna very proud, and he naturally praised himself fiercely in the letter he wrote to his father, but in exchange for a scolding and admonition from his father Sanada Yukitaka, but he knew his father's virtue very well. I have achieved such an achievement, I guess my father didn't say it, and he was already happy in his heart.

Tsukahara Senbei also gained greatly, in order to make meritorious contributions, borrowed a standing team from Tsukahara Molong, although he was later transferred to form the four major corps, but he still left him with fifty standing guards as the backbone to form a mobile force, after supplementing the prisoners of war who fought in Jiangmen Mountain, Tsukahara Senbei could command the force once again reached 500 people, all the way to the city, many small wealthy families took the initiative to take refuge in order to protect themselves, so that Tsukahara Senbei's strength at this time reached 1,200 people, and Sanada Nobutsuna joined forces, There are 1,500 troops to be deployed, which is far beyond the size of a reserve in the ordinary sense. The two of them were currently repairing in the Aikawa area of Naka County, Hitachi Province, and the territory of Shimono Province was opposite, but a figure soon appeared in front of them.

The two immediately drew their knives vigilantly, and were just about to ask each other's identities, but Tsukahara Senbei smiled: "It turned out to be Lord Duanzang, does the lord have any orders?" ”

This elusive figure is the strongest warrior under the command of Tsukahara Moryū, Kato Duanzo, the military situation is like fire, he is no longer polite, but takes out a bamboo tube, hands it to Tsukahara Senbei and then disappears in place. Not to mention Sanada Nobutsuna's surprise at Kato Duanzo, who came and went without a trace, Tsukahara Senbei immediately opened the bamboo tube, and then smiled: "Nobutsuna, our opportunity to make meritorious service has come!" ”

On the other side, Nasu Hanheita has re-set foot on that familiar land, but at the beginning, he was expelled like a lost dog, but now there is an army of tens of thousands of Sasaki Nagahide behind him, and there is the Tsukahara family, a super force that is first-class in the world, and he has been looking forward to the day of raising his eyebrows for too long. It's just that when this day really comes, Nasu Banheita doesn't have much joy, but his heart is quite heavy, after all, there are few mistakes at this moment, and I'm afraid that the entire Nasu family will have the power of destruction.

"Yoji! Hurry up and report, I'm back! Picking up his feelings, Nasu Hanheita made a bold appearance and shouted with a smile at the samurai guarding the gate of Toriyama Castle.

"Young Master Banping!" Nasu and Ji were overjoyed, but just about to step forward to say hello, their bodies stiffened, and they looked at the Empress Dowager Nasu Banping carefully, and then said coldly to the ashigaru on the side: "You go in and report it, and you will say that Nasu Banping is back alone." ”

"Oh!" The ashigaru was also very happy and left with a smile. Nasu Hanheita was very intelligent since he was a child, and he did not have the slightest frame of a noble samurai, so he had a very good impression in the minds of the people, and although he later left the Kanto, the ashigaru people from the common people were still very happy to see Nasu Hanheita again. As for what it means to be "alone", this simple man has not thought about it at all.

After Nasu and Ji gave the order, they began to stand on the arrow tower and chat with Nasu Hanheita, although they were also very enthusiastic, but with Nasu Hanheita's scheming, how could they not guess what kind of dispute the Nasu family was facing at the moment? But the more this is the case, the more Su Hanheita feels that he should go in, otherwise...... Nasu Hanheita's mind suddenly appeared Sasaki Nagahide's figure as if he had walked out of the mountain of corpses and the words of exterminating the Nasu clan, and he couldn't help but shudder: That guy, he can definitely say it......

Not long after, the gate of Toriyama Castle slowly opened, and several samurai immediately led a dozen elite ashichi to rush out: "Hanpei Tai! ”

"You guys!" Nasu Yoyoshi, who was standing on the arrow tower, changed his face drastically, and he was about to speak, but he had to swallow his words, because several of the people who rushed out of the other party were holding heavy rattan bows, and they already had the intention of aiming at themselves.

"Uncle! Jiro! "Rao is no matter how much Nasu Hanhei Tai wanders outside, he is also extremely happy at this moment, because the people who come are his two uncles and a brother, and all three of them can be said to be on his side. Before, what he was most worried about was being besieged by the faction that supported his younger brother as soon as they came up, but now the three of them led more than a dozen elite foot to rush out to protect themselves, but it gave him the confidence to do this: those in the family who supported him seemed to have not been completely pulled out, and with them to take care of them, it was much easier to act.

Surrounded by more than a dozen people, he walked into Toriyama Castle, and Nasu Hanheita didn't show any unruly appearance, but still greeted everyone he saw very cordially. Those ashigaru people didn't understand what was going on at first, but when they saw this scene in front of them, they thought of the past when Hanheita was forced away and the reality of the Tsukahara family's army pressing, and they understood the situation without opening up. Many ashigaru chose to remain silent, or to say hello and continue to do their own thing, but there were also many ashigaru who silently joined Nasu Hanheita's team, and later, some samurai who supported Nasu Hanheita also participated, and seeing that the team was getting bigger and bigger, the smell of gunpowder in the air of Toriyama Castle seemed to be getting stronger and stronger.
