Chapter 215: Momoyama prepares for an assault
On the fourth day and night of the siege of the city, after arranging the duty of his subordinates, Sabei summoned Suzuki Heavy Industries, Kaima Yoshiie, and Fujido Takatora to the house. Due to the mental disorder of Fushiwa Akijiro who woke up, Sabei had to let Nanjo Teruaki, who usually served him, temporarily serve Fushiba Akira.
The candles gently blown by the cool breeze of the summer night were swaying from side to side, just different from the slight dryness of the summer night, and the Sabei and his three retainers sitting at the wooden table did have a gloomy and hesitant face.
Suzuki Heavy Industries said to Sabei: "My lord, it is indeed a breakthrough to besiege the people together, but if there is a slight mistake, I am afraid that Momoyama Castle will..."
Hearing this, Haima Yoshiya also echoed: "My lord, at this time, Sukeemon should also arrive in Kyoto, and in a few days, His Royal Highness Nobunaga will definitely lead an army to quell such traitors, and it is better for my lord to be cautious!" ”
After listening to the words of the two, Sabei turned his head to look at Fujido Takatora, who was half a head taller than himself, and Kaima Yoshike and Suzuki Heavy Industries also looked at Fujido Takatora when they saw this. Fujido Takatora was stared at by the three of them for a long time, and finally said to the three of Sabei: "I agree with the lord's plan, His Royal Highness Nobunaga is now in Kyoto, and the land of Gyeonggi is the most turbulent, Hidehisa Matsunaga has no credibility, if His Royal Highness Nobunaga leads the crowd to leave, the swaying wealthy families of Tamba and Settsu and the remnants of the shogun's family, won't the great situation created by His Royal Highness Nobunaga be destroyed?" ”
After hearing this, Sabei nodded and said: "It is indeed difficult for the lord to get out for a while, and the lord has entrusted me with the dangerous task of guarding the front of South Vietnam, and we will break the predicament by ourselves. Moreover, the situation in front of North Vietnam is also bad, if they can't attack for a long time, and go north overnight, I am afraid that it will be a tiger returning to the mountain, and it will eventually become a big disaster, only by beating them back to Tsuruga and blocking their contact with North Vietnam, can this situation be solved! ”
Seeing that Suzuki Heavy Industries and Kaima Yoshiya nodded in agreement, Sabei said to Heiji, who was serving beside him, "Call the ninjas under Sukeemon!" ”
The next day, Sabei commanded his men to resist several attacks by the Ichijo, who left another corpse in front of the gate and the castle mound, and retreated under the orders of Tomita Nagashige. At this time, it was not the first time that Tomita Nagashige lamented how correct the strategy used by Sabei to capture three cities in a row that night was a correct decision. Just the long slope in front of Momoyama Castle caused the disciples of the Ichijo Sect to suffer heavy casualties, and he wanted to imitate the strategy used by Sabei that night, divide his troops to attack Nanjo Castle, and draw out the defenders of Nanjo Castle, but the disciples of the Ichijo Sect sent out were defeated and returned, and the defenders of Nanjo Castle didn't even see a single hair.
Looking at Momoyama Castle in front of him, Tomita Changfan became more and more panicked, it was already the fifth day of the siege, although the Oda army in Momoyama Castle also suffered casualties, but compared to the casualties of the disciples of the sect and his own troops, how is it worth mentioning. Tomita Changfan's face was a little unkind, and he looked at the old monk next to him, and asked coldly: "Master, I don't know how the battle was before North Vietnam?" ”
Shimoma Lai took a look at Tomita Changfan, and replied coldly: "The Asakura family has broken the valley city, and the Asakura family is the lord of Asakura Yoshijing and a gate of Asakura Jingjing led 300 troops to abandon the city and flee. ”
Listening to the words of Shimoma Yorisho, Tomita Nagashimo stopped talking, he didn't expect that the former Ichijo Sect of North Vietnam would be able to break through the fortified city of Ichijo Valley Castle in just five days, and the momentum of the former Ichizo Sect of Hokyue could be so strong.
Although Oda Nobunaga had no time to look north for a while, if he couldn't pacify the Nanjo Castle in time, he was afraid that when Oda Nobunaga went north, he would be attacked on his back. Momoyama Castle must be laid, and once Momoyama Castle is broken, Nanjo Castle and Hino Mountain Castle will naturally be broken. As for Fuzhong City, it is good that Yuchai Hidecho can withstand the pressure from the north, and he will also divide troops to the south.
After stabilizing the situation in Nanjo, he was able to deal with Oda Nobunaga's conquest wholeheartedly, and everyone in the world said that Oda Nobunaga was unparalleled in the world, and he was willing to wrestle with him. Thinking of this, Tomita Nagashi stared at Momoyama Castle with burning eyes.
The summer sun slowly set, and the day's offensive stopped again, and after listening to the ninja's report, Sabei said to Fujido Takatora on the side, "What I asked you to prepare, are you ready?" ”
Fujitang Takatora nodded when he heard this, and then said to Sabei: "Lord, Lord Fuyu, what should I do tomorrow?" ”
After hearing this, Sabei said to Fujido Takatora: "Let him stay in the city with the people of the bow team and the iron artillery team, and Goroubei will stay in command of them, even if we fail the siege, Momoyama Castle will not be breached in a short time." Fujitang Gaohu's color changed suddenly when he heard this, and he was about to say something, but he was stopped by his lord.
That night, Sabei lay in his room, thinking about the days when he came to Sengoku. Thinking about it, Sabei got up and sighed, as if self-deprecating, and said: "I originally wanted to change this troubled world, but although the situation in the Warring States has changed, my own traverser has also been invisibly changed by the Warring States..."
The next day, the sky was slightly bright, and Sabei, who had a pressure cut in his waist, was already standing in Ninomaru, and said to the more than 170 samurai and standing guards in front of him, who were still able to fight: "Suzuki Heavy Industries led the bow team and the iron artillery team of forty-two people and Fuyu Naosumi stayed behind, and the others attacked with me!" Without waiting for Suzuki Heavy Industries and Haima Yoshiya to exit, he pointed to the box on the side and said, "This is the 200 Yongle Tongbao that His Highness Nobunaga personally gave me, and now each of you has one of them, and may the Yongle Tongbao that the Lord has given us to bless us." ”
Then Sabei walked up to the two and said, "You don't have to say it anymore, the task of staying in Momoyama Castle is huge, and Meijiro will be handed over to Gorou Bingwei!" After that, Sabei patted the shoulders of the two of them and said to Heiji behind him: "Take my flag!" ”
After hearing this, Suzuki Heavy Industries and the two looked at Heiji, who was holding two white flags on the side, and saw that the two flags were written on the two fingers, "Ming Wei Sabei Genshin" and "Fushiwa Meijiro Naosumi". After seeing this, the two suddenly stopped talking and bowed half-kneeling to Sabei. Then the seahorse Yijia brought his mount and said to the Zuobei: "I am making a decision to protect the lord!" ”
Sabei nodded, also turned on his horse, took the naginata from Heiji's hand, and saw the Yongle Tongbao given to them by the standing guards who attacked with him stuffed it into the small bag on his waist, Sabei shouted: "Ignition!" ”
In a moment, a puff of wolf smoke flew out of Ninomaru in Momoyama Castle and soared into the sky. From time to time, smoke rises from Nanjo Castle in the distance. Seeing this, Sabei shouted to the people behind him, "Momoyama is ready to assault!" As soon as Sabei finished speaking, the taiko drum on the side was beaten, and then the whimper of the horn also sounded. Sabei first looked at the Seahorse family and Fujido Gaohu on the side, then looked around at the other samurai and standing in Momoyama Castle, and after a loud sigh, he beat his horse and waved his sword and rushed out of Momoyama Castle.
Tomita Nagashige, who was still resting, was suddenly awakened by the sonorous sound of the taiko drum and the determination of the conch, got up and looked at the billowing wolf smoke rising from Momoyama Castle, first stunned, and then looked at the wolf smoke that also came out of Nanjo Castle, and shouted to wake up the surrounding retainers. After all the retainers woke up, they looked at the angry Tomita Nagan in front of them, and heard the sound of drums and trumpets, and looked up at Momoyama Castle, only to see a sharp arrow of pitch-black arrows rushing down, and seeing this, all the retainers rushed out of the camp with a shout.
