Chapter 290: The Siege (1)
Sabei, who was still retching, slowly walked to the stone pier not far away with the support of Fushiwa Akijiro and Sakaki Heiji, while Suzuki Heavy Industries, Fujido Takatora and others organized a somewhat scattered army on the side.
Doi Motomasa saw Sabei sitting on the stone and resting, and quickly ran to Sabei's face, and whispered to Sabei, "My lord, is your body okay?" β
Hearing this, Sabei looked up at the source of the voice, and after seeing Doi Motomasa's long angular face, he smiled and said, "It's okay, it's just a little dizzy, it's not a big problem." β
Seeing this, Doi Motomasa also smiled, bowed his head and said to Sabei: "My lord, His Royal Highness Oda should send someone right away, and I hope that your Excellency will prepare early." β
After hearing this, Sabei nodded, and then said to Fushiwa Meijiro on the side: "Meijiro, inform Gorou Bei that after the army is assembled, the artillery will be preserved, and the iron cannon will be protected as much as possible." β
Fushiwa Meijiro froze for a moment when he heard this, then looked up at the sky, and then lowered his head and said, "I understand." Then Fushiwa Akijiro said to Sakaki Heiji, who was carrying a naginata knife on the side: "Heiji, take care of the lord!" After glancing at the attendants on the side, Fushiwa Akijiro walked towards Suzuki Heavy Industries and the others with his saber.
Sabei looked at Fushiwa Akijiro who was leaving, and said to Doi Motomasa: "Motochang is bothering you, you should go back and rectify the military situation quickly!" It's going to rain in this field, the gunpowder must be stored, and the bowstrings of the bow team must also be maintained, don't be careless! β
After hearing this, Doi Motomasa bowed his head and thanked Sabei, then turned around and walked away towards his army.
After a while, Sabei, who felt a little better, got up with the help of Sakaki Heiji. Sabei looked at Akijiro Fushiwa and Suzuki Shigei, who were lecturing, and smiled, and then walked towards Sukeemon, who was assigning tasks to his ninjas.
After Fushiwa Mingjiro felt Sabei, Fushiba Mingjiro stopped his lecture, turned to look at the place where Sabei had just rested, and happened to look at Sabei who was more than ten steps away from him.
Sabei met the gaze of Fushiwa Akijiro and walked in front of the assembled army, briefly explained a few words, and then looked up at the sky. Suddenly, a smell of earth turned into Sabei's nose, and Sabei immediately retracted his head, and then said to his subordinates: "It's about to rain, don't take shelter under the trees, be careful of thunder and lightning!" β
As he spoke, Sabei heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and under the watchful eyes of his subordinates, Sabei gave the order to all be on guard.
Toshiie Maeda rode one of the few horses on the entire island through the dense forest, and when he looked up at the sky, another drop of rain happened to drop on his face. Maeda Toshiya wiped his cheek with his hand, then glanced at the horses behind him who were following on foot, and the whip in his hand slapped the mount under his crotch again.
After turning a corner, Sabei's family crest flag caught the eyes of Maeda Toshiie. After Maeda Toshiya walked in front of Sabei after beating a horse, he said to the military situation of Sabei's subordinates: "I am Maeda Toshiya sent by His Royal Highness Oda to pick up Tsuda-sama and-sama, don't be nervous, where is your lord Sabei?" β
After hearing this, the expressions of the troops did not change, and they still held their blades and looked at Maeda Toshiya vigilantly. Seeing this, Maeda Toshiya still figured out something, and shouted at the military situation in front of him: "Sabei, I came to meet you and Lord Tsuda on the order of the lord, and I hope that Sabei will come out to meet me!" β
While Maeda Toshiya was talking, the raindrops in the sky began to pour down intensively. At this time, Fushiwa Akijiro walked out from behind the military and said to Maeda Toshiie, who was riding a horse in front of him: "Maeda-sama, the lord is a little unwell, and he is resting not far away, if Maeda-sama wants to meet the lord, please come with me!" β
Maeda Toshiie, who was on the horse, frowned slightly when he heard this, and then said to the one-eyed samurai with a grim face in front of him, "I came to meet Sabei and Tsuda-sama on the orders of the lord, not to meet Sahei. β
Saying that, Maeda Toshiya saw the one-eyed samurai in front of him disappear into the crowd, Maeda Toshiya looked at the samurai in front of him with some annoyance, and was about to leave, but saw that Ma Hui, who was thrown behind him, had already caught up with him.
Sabei looked at Maeda Toshiya on the horse behind the battle, and said to Sakami Heiji beside him: "Take the pressure cut and tell Maeda Toshiya that Tsuda-sama has not yet arrived, let him take shelter from the rain on the side, and wait for Tsuda-sama to finish crossing the sea, and then lead me to Nagashima Castle!" β
Maeda Toshiya nodded after listening to Sakaki Heiji's words, and then said to Sakami Heiji: "Tell Sabei and let him take care of his body!" After saying that, Maeda Toshiya turned over and dismounted, and went to the side of the tree to take shelter from the rain.
Maeda Toshiya, who was hiding under the tree, looked at the Mingwei army standing in the rain, and a trace of confusion appeared on his face, but then he smiled self-deprecatingly and no longer kept his eyes on the Mingwei army.
After a light rain ended, Sabei looked at his rain-soaked subordinates in front of him, wiped the water droplets on his face, and said to everyone: "In thunderstorms, I'd rather get some rain than take shelter under a tree!" β
Maeda Toshiya, who walked out from under the tree, looked at Sabei when he finally appeared, and his eyes were directly on Sabei. Then, after listening to what Sabei said, a playful smile appeared on his face.
At this time, the silhouettes of several ships appeared on the sea in the distance, and after Sukeemon discovered the situation, he reported the news to Sabei in time.
After hearing this, Sabei shouted to Maeda Toshiya not far away: "Maeda-sama, Tsuda-sama is about to land, Maeda-sama go and pick up Tsuda-sama, Tsuda-sama has just killed a lot of people in Nakae Castle and Kuwana Castle, and his temperament is not as gentle as mine, you have to pay attention to the wording, if you are embarrassed by Tsuda-sama, don't say that I haven't reminded you below!" β
