"Bastard !!" Kohata Kenshige slammed a whip at Musashi Matsuyama Castle, this time he was tricked as a monkey by Tamu Mototada, how could he be willing? "Lord Nambata, Musashi Matsuyama Castle is not a giant city, how many soldiers can it hold?" Turning his head to look at Namba Keihiro, who was also extremely angry, Kohata Ken asked again.

"Musashi Matsuyama Castle can only accommodate 1,500 troops when it is full, and because the Hojo family has been attacking the city for days, there are not many arrows and arrows in the city, and even the grain and grass are lost." Namba Tian Jingguang gritted his teeth and said, fortunately, he sent his family to Minowa Castle in advance, otherwise this time it would have been a big deal. "Moreover, the eastern wall is in disrepair, and if you concentrate on attacking with all your strength, there is a possibility that the city wall will be torn down."

Kohata Ken's eyebrows also jumped: Tear down the city wall? This Namba Tian Jingguang is also angry, which is equivalent to allowing himself to demolish his residence. However, he was still a little unsure whether to attack the city in the night, after all, the army was still in the process of being gathered. When all the troops were assembled, Kohata Kenshige almost jumped to his feet and scolded: among the people who had just died in battle, the number of people under his command was more than twice that of the other party, and it seemed that a very large number of people were hacked to death by their own people in the night.

"It's so fast......" Tamu Motozhong, who was standing on the hill, looked at the small banner army in the camp and muttered to himself. This time, he left a large number of followers, but the speed of Kohata Ken's re-entry was too fast, and many methods had no time to be used. "This time, how long will it take for the main force of the Uesugi army to arrive?"

"The road is slippery, and its main force has to carry baggage on the expedition, at least a day and a half later." A burly black shadow stood behind Duomu Yuanzhong and replied respectfully.

"Well, Kotaro, do you think you can still launch a night attack on Kohata Kenshige?" Duomu Yuanzhong pondered for a long time, looked at the tent that originally belonged to him, and asked.

Wind Demon Kotaro shook his head: "According to the ninja's report, the few flaws deliberately left when the camp was set up were guarded by Kohata Ken's heavy troops, and if it was attacked, the loss would be great." “

Mototada sighed lightly and waved his hand to signal Wind Demon Kotaro to step back. "Pass the order down and recuperate."

"Uhhhh It's really uncomfortable. Sasaki Nagahide hung his spear in the saddle and moved his shoulders, marching on this broken road, and the speed was really not able to improve, and there was no longer the pleasure of galloping on the horse. And in the face of a battle that may break out at any time, and you can't take off your armor, after a long time, you naturally feel extremely awkward. It's still comfortable in the dojo...... No, you can't covet comfort, I'm a person who wants to do great things!

"Be content, look at the master, you are defenseless, and your life is in danger at any time!" Zhou Dashuai, who was lying on horseback leisurely, joked, if he wanted to be attacked by a sneak attack, he was really not afraid, so many masters of playing hidden weapons in Daming couldn't kill him, so he could hurt him with the bow and arrow in his hand? Funny!

Seeing Zhou Dashuai's underbeaten appearance, Tsukahara Molong had long been used to it, and Kato Duanzang practiced "ninjutsu", so he automatically ignored it. Only Sasaki Nagahide, who was strong-blooded, opened his eyes angrily: "If you don't want to wear armor, give the armor to others, a pair of armor is very expensive!" ”

"What? Want to pick up my clothes? Lao Tzu is not interested in men! ”

"I Destroyed Your !!"

"Kotaka, how's the situation at the front?" Tsukahara Moryū asked when he saw Sanada Yutaka returning from the Chinese army.

Sanada Yutaka shook his head with a serious face: "I'm afraid it's not optimistic, Musashi Matsuyama Castle has been captured by Tamu Mototada, and the command of Lord Kohata has also suffered heavy losses, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides again this morning, it is said that Tamu Mototada has gathered an army of tens of thousands of people, although the results have not yet come out, but Lord Kohata is under a lot of pressure." ”

"10,000 people?" Yoshio Inukai, who was passing by, was taken aback.

"Idiot, don't be so loud!! Your screams are heard all over Japan! Tsukahara Moryū lectured, and then asked with a worried face, "Kohata-sama, he...... Will it last until we arrive? ”

"What?" Inukai Yoshio was stunned when he heard this: "Hold on?" I thought it was to say Tamu Mototada, the proportion of samurai among the 5,000 people under the command of Lord Kohata far exceeded that of the Hojo Army, and this time he actually picked up such a big bargain, what a great merit it it was~"

"Samurai?" Tsukahara Moryū was a little puzzled.

"That's right, the proportion of our Ueno Kuni samurai is far higher than other places, let's put it this way, if there is one samurai in the ten members of the Hojo Army, then we have two, or even three." Inukai Yoshio said proudly. In fact, this situation is inseparable from the special national conditions of Ueno Province. In addition to producing horses, Ueno Province has never had a particularly strong enemy invasion, and there has been no leader who can be strong and unified inside, so there are many samurai groups, although they do not fight every day like the "small warring states" Ise, but the huge number of families determines its super high samurai output ratio, not to mention that Ueno Country is located at the junction of Koshin and Kanto, and agriculture and commerce are very developed, so it can afford to raise so many samurai. The proportion of samurai in the army directly affects the combat effectiveness of the army, after all, in addition to battlefield command, the combat effectiveness of individual samurai is far greater than that of peasant soldiers.

As if confirming the words of Inukai Yoshio, Duomu Yuanzhong, who has always had the name of a wise general, looked at the battlefield full of corpses in front of him at this time: he quietly gathered tens of thousands of troops and launched a siege on Kohata Kenshige, but he didn't expect that Kohata Kenshige's command not only turned into the wind, but also defended like a hard walnut. Even the Musashi Seven Party, which had always boasted of its dominance of Musashi, was frightened by the heavy losses and even made a request to withdraw its troops. How can this be fought? I'm 10,000 to 5,000! Therefore, Tamu Motozhong did not hesitate to refuse the request of these Musashi wealthy clans, and dispatched his subordinate Heibei, but after tearing a gap from the military strength of an Ueno wealthy clan, the surrounding military momentum poured in like a tide, and the battle situation slowly opened.

And on the other side, Kohata Kenshige is also uncomfortable, he is already covered in blood, he doesn't know that he has personally led Kohata Chibei to attack a few times, and every time he wants to break through the enemy formation, he will be pushed back by the black Bei of Tamu Motozhong. His command is good at fighting, but in the face of an army twice his size, there is no strong city defense, which is very hard. "Lord Nambada, you lead the troops to retreat first, and I will come to the palace!"

"No, Kohata-sama, you go first! This Musashi Matsuyama Castle is my ancestral land, so naturally I have to guard it until the last moment, I wish your Excellency prosperity and prosperity! My family at Minowa Castle, please! Namba Tian Jingguang, who had already killed the red eye, refused, but he couldn't help it, now the Namba Tian army has been besieged by Tamu Motozhong, and it is difficult to protect himself, how to retreat?

"Damn...... I wish Your Excellency prosperity and the retreat of the whole army!! Kohata Kenzhong roared unwillingly, and with the issuance of this order, the wealthy clans of Ueno Province, who had been struggling to support them, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and arranged for a part of their respective forces to assist the queen of the Namba family, and retreated in battle, preparing to leave the battlefield.

It is not only the wealthy families of Ueno Province who are relieved, but also the wealthy families of Southern Musashi, who have never seen so few people stuffed so many samurai, isn't this a trick? If a peasant soldier dies, he can be recruited again, but if a samurai dies, it's a great loss!

Duomu Yuanzhong watched the changes in the battlefield and took a deep breath, "Don't worry about those cowards who escaped, concentrate your forces to surround and kill those palaces." ”

But after the order was issued, Tamu Yuanzhong almost jumped up: after losing his strong containment, Kohata Chibei, who had already retreated, actually turned back, and tore a hole in the encirclement that had not yet been fully formed on this side, saving the army behind the palace. Seeing that Kohata Kenshige began to reorganize his army after breaking out of the encirclement, Tamu Motozhong's eyes flickered, and finally he reluctantly gave up the idea of pursuit.
