Chapter 422: Attack on Tottori Port

"Yagata-sama! The place where our army landed was Inhata Tottori Port, and if you enter from here, you will be able to storm Tottori Castle directly! "At the military meeting, Toyokuni Yamana was explaining the battle on the sand table. Hosokawa Nobumoto and the others surrounded the sand table, thinking about tactical arrangements, and with the help of Toyokuni Yamana, they decided to attack from Inaba Province.

Although Inaba and Tajima have a certain coastline, they are basically either cliffs or sand dunes, and there are few ports that are suitable for large ships to dock. If it weren't for Toyokuni Yamana as a guide, I'm afraid I would have gone to great lengths to find a port to dock.

The reason why Toyokuni Yamana helped the Hosokawa family so much also had his own purpose. Originally, he recaptured Inaba Province with the help of the Niko family, and fell to the Hosokawa family along with the Niko family.

Later, there was a rebellion in the Niko family, the main purpose of which was to get the Niko family out of the control of the Hosokawa family, but it was suppressed by Niko Motohisa. However, Yamana Toyokuni was not so lucky, and the family's pro-Maori retainers also rebelled and re-established Yamana Toyohiro, and he was exiled.

Now, he naturally wants to rely on the strength of the Hosokawa family to regain his territory.

"Excellent! Wait until nightfall and get moving! With the Tango Navy as the pioneer, quickly take down the port of Tottori! Then, quickly advance from the Dark Ninja Camp to Tottori Castle and try to open the gates! Our army took advantage of the situation and took it down in one fell swoop! Hosokawa Nobumoto held the baton in his hand and made strategic deployment on the sand table.

"Yes!" All the retainers agreed in unison.

At night, wave after wave on the surface of the sea, it seems that the wind is about to pick up soon.

The Tango Navy turned off the lights of the whole ship, like a ghost, lying quietly on the sea. Not far from the shore, there are a few dimly lit bright spots that wander back and forth, the night watchdogs.

Wow... Wow... "Nasanohi" Motosuke led the naval army and quietly swam to the shore, and in order to make a good impression in front of Hosokawa Nobumoto, he was the first to land this time.

"Yazaburo! After the night shift later, I'll take you to a good place to have fun. "There is a chatter from the shore, Nasano" Motosuke made a gesture, and all the staff clinged to the ground, secretly searching, this is a secret sentinel.

"Okay, but this time it's time for you to have a treat, but don't be like last time, when you should pay, your kid will be gone!"

"Hehe... No, no, last time it was because it was an old and yellow aunt who received me, and I was scared of it, so I left without finishing it. This time it's different, this time it's all yellow flower girls, I won't be able to go if I let me go! Hey... You don't know, her XXXXXX...", followed by some filthy words.

"Up." Nasanohi waved his hand, and the two men next to him quietly approached them.

"Hmm... "Puff!" The defenders here were silently dealt with.

"Let's go! Next! "Nasano" Honsuke divided into several squads and pulled out all the checkpoints in turn.

"My lord, a signal has been sent from the shore." Masanobu Honda was standing next to Nobumoto Hosokawa, and he saw a code made with a torch on the shore.

"Attack!" Hosokawa Nobumoto ordered in a deep voice, it is easy to take down this small Tottori Port, and the reason why it is so troublesome is mainly to take down Tottori Castle behind it to avoid premature detection in the city.

Crash! Crash! The ship quickly approached the shore, and Hosokawa troops streamed down from the cabin.

"Hmph... Hmph..."At this moment, a sleepy-eyed and humming ashiki came out of the house.

"Huh?" He seemed to see something on the sea, and there seemed to be a figure shaking in the harbor, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and once again focused on the distance.

Whoosh, poof! "Ugh!" An arrow pierced his throat accurately.

"Uh... Uh..."I struggled twice, and my eyes rolled and fell to the ground.

"Well done! Who shot that arrow just now? "Nobumoto Hosokawa saw it clearly with a telescope.

"My subordinates will go and investigate." Honda Masanobu bowed and retreated.

After a while, he found the samurai with a bow: "My lord, it's Yoshida Shige." ”

"Excellent! Promoted to Bow General! Hosokawa Nobumoto looked at Yoshida Shigeshi approvingly, thanks to that arrow, he didn't let Hosokawa's previous efforts come to naught.

"Thank you, lord!" Shigeshi Yoshida immediately got down on one knee and saluted respectfully.

Rustle... The Dark Ninja Camp quickly passed through Tottori Port, where they were not required to participate in the battle, and their goal was Tottori Castle. They were followed by Sakamoto and Sekihara, who were the first to pass through the port of Tottori with the same speed.

"What are you doing out there! Mess around! Suddenly, a loud shout came from inside the house, and then the lights came on, and the door opened, and a swearing samurai came out.

"Huh? Who are you? Belch! Before he could react, he was stabbed in the stomach.

"Ugh! Yes! The screams came one after another, some of them heard the sound and came out to check, and more of them were Hosokawa soldiers who broke into the door directly!

"The Great Hall!" "Honsuke and others greeted Hosokawa Nobumoto on the shore.

"Well, hold here! Always on standby! Hosokawa Nobumoto left the Tango naval army to occupy Tottori Port, and the rest of the army went directly to Tottori Castle.

Tottori Castle, located on Mt. Hisamatsu, is a mountain castle built by the famous Yama family in the early days. Since most of Inaba Province is mountainous, most of the castles in the country are mountain castles.

At this time, Tottori Castle was immersed in sleep, and the city had not yet received any warnings, and there were not many vigils and patrols, and the defense was extremely lax.

Whoa! The sand and gravel rolled down the mountain stream, and a small group of ninja troops were climbing the cliff with extreme difficulty. From here, you can climb into the castle and be close to the gate.

"Aren't you alright?" Sanada Masayuki was waiting a little anxiously, they had been lurking here for a while.

"It seems that the ninja army is not going well there, because the cliff is close to the sea, so it is affected by sea fog all year round, and the mountain surface is slippery and not conducive to rock climbing." Miyoshi Masakatsu had just listened to the report from his subordinates and told them to wait a little longer.

"No, we can't wait any longer, Sasuke! Can you go up? "Sanada Masayuki didn't dare to delay, from the very beginning, there were fish that escaped from Tottori Port and tried to warn Tottori Castle. Fortunately, he was killed by his newly acquired retainer Yuri Kasumuke, who was originally a bandit in Suzuka Mountain, who was a good wielder and a master of marksmanship.

"Lord, your subordinates can try it, the Togakushi Mountain where your subordinates practice is also filled with thick fog all year round, and the mountains and rocks are also unusually slippery." Sarutobi Sasuke was eager to try, and it seemed that he had a certain amount of confidence.

"Good! Go ahead! Sanada Masayuki nodded, these special retainers sometimes really solved a lot of problems for him.
