Chapter 172: The Siege of the Oda Army (Part II)
Shibata Katsuie, who was sitting in the main camp, looked at Fuchu Castle not far away, and inadvertently saw the map on the table also being blown by the spring breeze. Shibata Katsuya got up to grab the map that had been taken away by the flyer, but he was close to the men who rushed into the camp.
After the attendant found out that he had bumped into Shibata Katsuya, he immediately knelt on the ground and said to Shibata Katsuya: "I'm sorry lord, I'm rude!" ”
Shibata Katsuie, who was hit, waved his hand and asked the attendant, "What's the matter?" ”
Hearing this, the attendant raised his head and said to Shibata Katsuie: "My lord, it seems that the army of the former cities of North Vietnam is gathering to move closer to Fuzhong Castle, and the four thousand troops led by Lord Takenaka have no news after being defeated!" ”
Shibata Katsuya was silent for a while when he heard this, and then said to his attendants: "Go and call the Mingsha Gate!" ”
At this time, Kanku was communicating with Sukeemon, who had returned from completing his mission, and Sukeemon told Kanku about the news he had found out about Shigemasa Tomita. After hearing this, he asked Sukeemon about the recent situation in front of North Vietnam, but learned that yesterday the Takenaka half-guard was defeated by the 5,000 troops in front of North Vietnam led by Asakura Keigami.
After hearing this, he felt a little uneasy, and then asked Sukeemon, "What is the movement of the military forces in the former cities of North Vietnam?" ”
After listening to the words of the Burning Sky, Sukeemon lowered his head and said to the Burning Sky: "My lord, I was about to report this matter to you, and the army in front of North Vietnam suddenly began to assemble in the north of the village yesterday, and the governor of the Asakura family, Asakura Yoshikage, also personally went out to fight, and today it seems that there is a intention to go south!" ”
Burning Sky listened to Sukeemon's words, suddenly realized something, and ran towards the main battle with the naginata in his hand. At this time, the attendants who came to summon the burning sky happened to come out, and when they saw the burning sky fire coming towards the main formation in a hurry, they stepped forward and said to the burning sky: "Lord Hieishan, the lord has called you..."
Without waiting for the attendant to finish speaking, Burning Sky pushed the attendant who was blocking him away, and ran towards the formation at high speed. The attendants who were pushed away by the burning sky were a little angry, and when they saw the burning sky running quickly towards the middle of the formation, they were also panicked, could it be that the former army of North Vietnam was about to go out of Fuzhong City at this time!
Burning Sky quickly ran to Shibata Katsuya, and before he could speak, he heard Shibata Katsuya say in a deep voice: "Mingshamen, the half-guards of Takenaka want me to be buried here!" ”
After listening to Shibata Katsuie's words, Burning Sky didn't care about saluting and walked up to Shibata Katsuie, and said to Shibata Katsuie, who was staring at the map: "Shibata-sama, quickly let Niwa-sama collect his troops, and your lord can also line up here to meet the enemy!" Takenaka-sama may not be trying to do it for Toyotomi... Hideyoshi Hashiba retaliated against us and others, but resorted to a plan to attack the heart! ”
After hearing this, Shibata Katsuya shook his head and said: "Now we can't hope for any strategy with the Takenaka Hanbei, our first priority now is to resist the assembled North Vietnamese front army and not be defeated by them!" After saying that, Shibata Katsuya shouted to the attendants on the side: "Blow the conch trumpet, let Gorou Zuo withdraw his troops!" ”
After that, Shibata Katsuie looked at the map in front of him and said: "Our army is at a disadvantage in numbers, and the area around Fuchu Castle is all plains, which is not conducive to the deployment of our army, Mingshamen, I decided to withdraw to the entrance to the valley in front of the Hinoyama Castle Valley, and our army has its back to the valley, which can prevent the enemy from surrounding and raiding from behind." ”
As soon as Shibata Katsuie's words fell, the rapid sound of the conch horn came from the Oda military camp. Burning Sky pondered Shibata Katsuie's plan, and after the sound of the conch stopped, he said to Shibata Katsuya: "Shibata-sama, this valley is difficult to allow a large group of people to pass, if our army... I think we can retreat to Hino Mountain Castle, Nanjo Castle, and Momoyama Castle, and use these mountain castles to resist the Asakura army! ”
"No, the former South Vietnamese have not yet been settled, and the loyalty of the former South Vietnamese army is not guaranteed, these former South Vietnamese wealthy lands can surrender to us, or they can cut off our heads and surrender to the Chaocang family, if our army boldly retreats into the cities before South Vietnam, I am afraid that you and I will become their voters! (This word is used to make everyone better understand, if you are not used to it, leave a message to tell Xiaofeng!) )”
After hearing this, Burning Sky nodded, and said to Shibata Katsuya: "My lord, I will go and command my subordinates to sort out the situation briefly, and wait for the dispatch of the adults!" After speaking, he held the naginata knife and walked quickly towards the outside of the main formation.
Niwa Nagahide, who was obviously about to break through Fuchu Castle Ninomaru, was a little depressed, how could Shibata Katsuie, who was bent on breaking Fuchu Castle, blow the conch horn at this time to collect his troops. When Niwa Nagahide returned to the camp with the sword, he found that the troops in the camp were urgently packing up weapons and arrows, and then Niwa Nagahide realized that something big had happened, so he ran towards the main camp in one breath.
At this time, Kankong was pacifying the former South Vietnamese forces in the army, and sent Fushiwa Akijiro and Right Ichisuke to convey the order to lead all the troops that could be mobilized to Hino Mountain Castle to assemble. As for the final impact of this step, we don't know what the impact of this step will be.
After seeing the incinerator outside the main formation, Niwa Nagahide went up and grabbed the arm of the incinerator and asked, "Mingshamen, what's wrong?" ”
After turning his head to see Niwa Nagahide, he whispered to Niwa Nagahide: "Niwa-sama, the military momentum in front of North Vietnam has already moved towards Fuzhong Castle; And the defeat of Lord Takenaka, I guess the adults also know about it, right? ”
Niwa Nagahide nodded after hearing the words of the burning sky, and then walked quickly into the main formation.
After Niwa Nagahide left, Burning Sky said to Minajo Teruaki, who went out with him: "You also go back with Meijiro and tell your father that the family will not forget anyone's merits, and will not let go of anyone who dares to betray the family, let him think about it!" ”
After listening to the words of the burning air, Nanjo Teruaki whispered to the burning air: "Lord Hieishan, I understand it below, and I will definitely relay this word to my father word for word!" ”
Suzuki Heavy Industries looked at Nanjo Teruaki, who left with Fushiwa Mingjiro, and whispered to the burning air: "Lord, I don't understand, if you let go of Nanjo Teruaki, didn't you just let go of the hostage who took Nanjo Terukei?" Will Nanjo still obey the lord's command? ”
After listening to Suzuki Heavy Industries' words, Burning Sky looked in the direction of Nanjo Castle and smiled and said, "I think Nanjo Terukei knows what to do!" ”
The defenders of Fuchu Castle did not react for a while in the face of the sudden withdrawal of the Oda army, and it was not until the Oda army had begun to organize a retreat that the defender of Fuchu Castle, Asakura Keiken, realized the same, and immediately sent his close attendants to inform Ichijo Valley Castle and Kitanosho Castle.
After sorting out the remaining 4,000 troops and more than 2,000 peasant soldiers, Shibata Katsuie immediately retreated in the direction of Hino Mountain Castle. With the retreat of the Oda army, there was a tsunami of cheers in Fuchu Castle, and Asakura Keiken, the defender of Fuchu Castle, immediately sent people to follow the Oda army after seeing the Oda army retreating.
Burning Sky looked back at the direction of Fuchu Castle, and had some insights into the strategy of the Takenaka Half-Guard, but he had no choice but to ask the Takenaka Half-Soldier Guard for confirmation now. Shibata Katsuie and Niwa Nagahide were concerned about how to repel the forces of the North Vietnamese front, so they could put their guesses in their stomachs and wait for time to answer.
