Chapter 694: The Samurai in the Password
Call... Call... The torches in the Bentenzan Castle were extinguished one by one, and the city was suddenly plunged into darkness, and even the gates were wide open.
After a while, the poisonous smoke was dense, and the night was particularly eerie and terrifying, like a ghost gate.
The Hosokawa army is still arriving at the front line one after another, and now it is all infantry, and the cavalry will wait until the clouds and fog clear, and then the horses will run quickly.
Hosokawa Nobumoto didn't go over, this kind of lying on the ground was humiliating and majestic, and he naturally had to wait until he passed with the cavalry.
Hosokawa Senimaru rode his horse to Hosokawa Nobumoto's side at this time, and as soon as his father left, he would take over the camp and guard the rear army.
"How's the troop going?" Hosokawa Nobumoto looked in the direction of the valley, where it was black and foggy, and nothing could be seen.
"Back to the lord, it should be very smooth, there is no sound of firearms in the valley, and the troops are more than half." Honda replied respectfully.
"Well, it's good, but it's a pity, I was thinking of suddenly attacking the city." Although Hosokawa Nobumoto said this, there was no trace of pity in his words.
The lord said with a smile, if this valley cannot be crossed, it will not be able to fully besiege Bentian Mountain. Even if he released poisonous smoke at the hand gate, it could only make the Tsukawa army flee early, thus losing a chance to behead Tsukawa Soji, and it would also make him wary in the future. "Honda Masanobu is very cooperative, which is actually using his own mouth to solve the doubts of others.
"Yes, and this valley is not passable without poisonous smoke... Fear... It will be the burial place of our army! But now it seems that the effect is not bad. Hosokawa Nobumoto is also more satisfied, and the biggest winner is to be able to preserve his strength during the war.
"Let's go, let's go there and have a look..."Hosokawa Nobumoto urged the horse, ready to inspect the camp again before leaving, this place will be left to his own son-in-law Smart Pill, but he can't be careless.
Stompe... Stompe... The group wandered around the camp.
"Password!" Suddenly, a sentry on the arrow oar saw a group of people coming and shouted loudly.
"Bastard! Didn't you see that it was the lord! What is the nonsense! One stepped forward and yelled.
"Huh? The villain deserves death! The villain doesn't know that it's His Highness Yagata! Damn the villain! The sentry was so frightened that he knelt down directly on it, kowtowing again and again to admit his mistake, and he couldn't see who it was on such a dark day.
"Agreed! Don't quit yet! Hosokawa Nobumoto shouted angrily.
"Yes!" One obediently retreated.
"Ride the wind!" Hosokawa Nobumoto actually answered the password.
"Huh? The villain doesn't dare! The villain is wrong! The villain is wrong! The sentinel was even more frightened, his head thumping.
"Alright, alright, get up, you're not wrong, what if someone pretends to be me? You're right to do that. I've memorized them all! It doesn't matter who it is in the future! Sentinels have the right to interrogate! Do you hear me? Hosokawa Nobumoto stood there, his voice like a bell, and this scene reminded him of the time when he was fighting against the Settsu rebels.
At that time, he led a team to quell the rebellion, but also to maximize profits, he attacked Ikeda Castle and prepared to exterminate the Ikeda Tomomasa clan, but he did not find this person. That night, the Ashikaga shogunate's envoy, Takahide Nikaido, and Chimasa's younger brother Mitsushige Ikeda came to convey the shogunate's edict.
Since the recipient was dead, Hosokawa Nobumoto used this as an excuse to prepare to take over the entire territory of the Ikeda family. As a result, Tomomasa Ikeda, who thought he had died in the chaos, suddenly ran in by himself, and the reason was that Ashigaru, who was on duty outside the door, mistook it for his own family, and ended up making such an oolong.
Fortunately, everyone present was Hosokawa Nobumoto's henchmen, who forcibly killed the Ikeda brothers and forced Nikaido Takahide to commit perjury, which ended perfectly.
In view of this, Hosokawa Nobumoto decided to strengthen the sentinel system again, not only to check Ashigaru, but also to investigate suspicious samurai.
"Yes!" Everyone lowered their orders, and they naturally knew that this decree was for them to hear, as for the examination of the lord? Ten of them dare not borrow, today it is purely this sentry who is blind.
"Well, you! What is your name? Hosokawa Nobumoto also knew that it was impossible to really check himself, but he still had to make an example and set an example for the time being.
"Little... Villain... The villain's name is Hataro. "Hataro was sweating profusely, and he rushed into the Yagata Hall today, but I was afraid that there would be no good fruit to eat.
"Excellent! From today onwards, you will be the samurai of my Hosokawa family! Hosokawa Nobumoto's words made Hataro jump up, and the pheasant turned into a phoenix and became a noble samurai.
"Huh?" Hataro was stunned, happiness came too suddenly, and he was not mentally prepared.
"Rude fellow! Don't thank you yet! Ichijo Kaneda stepped forward and yelled again, this time Hosokawa Nobumoto didn't stop him.
"Ahhh Oh, villain... Oh no... Belch... Subordinate! Thank you for your promotion! Thank you for your promotion! Hataro spoke stiff words, clearly not adjusting to his new identity yet.
"Okay, you come down first, I'm really tired of keeping my head up and talking like this." Hosokawa Nobumoto beckoned to him gently, and the latter hurriedly got off the arrow and ran quickly in front of Nobumoto, kneeling on the ground with his butt upturned high.
"Hahaha! Aiomaru, you can arrange it later, give him a decent set of Nanban equipment, and let him be my flag warrior in the future. "Hosokawa Nobumoto is in a good mood, probably because the valley is going well, and he is about to catch a turtle in the urn of Tsugawa Soji.
"Thank you, my lord! Thank you, Lord! Hataro kowtowed excitedly, I don't know how many kowtows he had today, but he was worth it and happy.
"Hataro... Hataro... There are no seedlings... I always feel bad, in this way, you became a samurai on the arrow oar, so you are called... Kigami, Kigami Hataro! Hosokawa Nobumoto casually gave him a samurai surname, but he was very happy.
"The subordinate has a name! The subordinates have names! Haha, oh, thank you, lord! Thank you for your kindness! Hataro Kigami burst into tears with excitement, and a turning point in his life changed his life.
"Alright, let's move on." With this little episode, Hosokawa Nobumoto led the crowd and began to wander around the camp.
Time passed bit by bit, and most of the men and horses of the Hosokawa front army had already passed, and now only a small number of men and horses remained.
Hosokawa Nobumoto looked at it, this is the 10,000 people he deliberately left, ready to escort himself across the valley together, including Tokugawa Ieyasu, Nagamune of Chomune, Ichijo Kaneta, Akabi Camp Ii Naomasa, Wind Cavalry Battalion Honda Tadakatsu, Sekihara Bishima Katsui.
An army of 10,000 people was waiting outside the camp, waiting for the moment to clear the clouds... If you love it, how can you not pay attention to this or the hot online article, and chat about the online article together~
