Chapter 423: Marching into Tottori Castle

Whoosh! Figures flashed one after another, and Sarutobi Sasuke and the others finally climbed up and rushed into the city. This is thanks to Sarutobi Sasuke teaching them how to borrow strength on the slippery rocks, otherwise, they would not be able to climb up all night, which shows how steep Tottori Castle is.

"My lord! Except for three people who fell, the rest of the people were all there. A ninja saluted Sasuke, who they all admired very much now, has always been respected for his strength in the ninja world.

"Excellent! Walk! Go open the gates! Sarutobi Sasuke waved his hand, and the ninjas quickly ran to the city gate.

Stompe! Stompe! A small squad of Ashigaru, led by a samurai, is patrolling the city.

Suddenly! Whoosh! Countless hidden weapons flew from the darkness, including ninja darts and shurikens.

Poof! "Uhh This group of city defenders was suddenly wiped out, and they only had time to scream twice before they all whimpered.

"Quick!" Sarutobi Sasuke continued to lead the ninja army to break through, and soon saw the closed gates.

"What people!" Ashigaru, who was guarding the door, saw a figure shaking, nervously holding a gun, but no one answered, and what greeted them was a hidden weapon in the sky.

"Ahh Enemy attack! Enemy... Attack..."The ashigaru people were powerless to parry, and they were killed on the spot.

"Open the door!" Sarutobi Sasuke commanded in a deep voice.

Crunch... Crunch... The city gate was opened from the inside, and Sanada Masayuki and others immediately rushed in.

"Quick! Sakamoto is ready to quickly occupy all the key points with me! Sanada Masayuki ordered loudly.

"Quick! Sekihara prepares me to attack Ninomaru and capture Tottori Castle! Shimakatsu Takeshi also led his team straight to Ninomaru.

"Oh!" Sakamoto and Sekihara shouted in unison and rushed into the city.

"Kill!" A Sakamoto soldier kicked open a house, then rushed in four or five people, and stabbed the enemies lying on the bed one by one with a gun.

Poof! "Uhh Some of the defenders in the house were startled and tried to get up and resist, but they were quickly killed.

"Rush! Kill! "Shimakatsu led Sekihara to rush to Ninomaru.

"Quick! Close the door! Come on! Nakamura Harutsugu was so frightened that he hurriedly closed the door, and he rebelled and exiled Yamana Toyokuni with another important minister, Morishita Michiyu. Although he nominally supported Toyohiro Yamana, Toyohiro was still a puppet, and the two took refuge in the Mori family and became retainers of the Yoshikawa Norike family.

"What's going on out there?" The Yoshikawa Nobuya, who lived in Honmaru, also heard the unusual noise, he was the son of Yoshikawa Nobuyan, the official Shikibu Shaosuke, the retainer of the Mori family, the head of the Yoshikawa family of the famous gate of San'in, and the former lord of Fukuko Castle in Iwami Kunima County. Later, Niko Motohisa took away the Northern Iwami region, including Iwami Ginzan, and his territory was naturally taken away, so he had to live under the command of Yoshikawa Motoharu.

Later, it was this Nakamura Harutsugu and Morishita Michiyu who expelled Toyokuni Yamana and took refuge in the Mori family, so Mori Terumoto gave Tottori Castle to the Yoshikawa Nobuya, and the two were also transferred to the account of the Toshinori.

"I don't know, lord, my subordinates will send someone to inquire." Morishita Michiyu hurriedly sent someone to understand the situation, and the news he got made everyone present dumbfounded.

"What do you say! Hosokawa Army suddenly appeared! Sannomaru has already been taken! "Yoshikawa can't believe all this, today is still calm during the day, why is there a sudden lightning and thunder at night.

"Yes, my lord! Nakamura-sama is holding on to Ninomaru and is asking for reinforcements. "Morishita Dawson was full of cold sweat, I heard that the mountains under the mountain are full of Hosokawa troops.

"Food! That's right, what about the grain! How many more? Yoshikawa suddenly remembered an important thing, that is, he was not ready to hold on to the castle at all.

"It's... I'm afraid of food... I'm afraid it's less than ten days..."Morishita Michiyu also remembered that there was not much food in his house, and he hadn't had time to buy it yet.

"Bastard! Didn't I tell you to buy grain at a high price? How so! Yoshikawa Kei immediately poured his anger on Morishita Daoyu's head, and it was a scolding to split his head and cover his face. The reason for this was that there were about 1,000 Yamana troops defending Tottori Castle, about 800 Mori Yoshikawa troops, about 2,000 villagers, and about 4,000 people in Tottori Castle. Tiny Tottori Castle didn't have that much food at all!

"Kill!" Shimakatsu led Sekihara to storm Ninomaru.

"Falling rocks!" With a bang, huge rocks were thrown from the city wall, killing and injuring many people in an instant.

"Damn! The archers crush the city for me! Bang the door wood on the door for me! Shimakatsu gave an order, and Bowashiki began to bend his bow and shoot arrows to suppress the castle.

"One, two, crash! One, two, crash! "Knock knock! The giant tree slammed against the gate, and the latch could no longer hold it.

"Quick! With a stone rampart! Seal the door for me! "This is the voice of Yoshikawa Kiya, who personally came to Ninomaru to supervise the battle.

Bang Dang! Bang Dang! The defenders brought in large stones and sealed the gate completely, so that people from outside the city could not enter, and they themselves could not get out.

"My lord, the enemy has sealed the city gate, and it will not be able to be attacked for a while." Honda Masanobu listened to the report from the front and relayed it to Hosokawa Nobumoto.

"This Yoshikawa family is really courageous, no wonder the Maori family sent him over. What's next? The mountain walls on both sides are covered with moss, and it is impossible to go up at all. Hosokawa frowned, he didn't expect the other party to be so decisive, if every city resisted like this, this strategy of Inaba and Tajima was afraid that it would be a protracted battle.

"My lord, according to the warriors who surrendered, the rations in the city are less than ten days." Honda Masanobu said on the side.

"Less than ten days? Didn't they prepare strategic supplies? Hosokawa Nobumoto was a little surprised, but there was enough surplus food in the various cities of the Hosokawa family.

"Yes, it is said that the price of old grain is a bit expensive now, and they originally planned to buy cheap new grain after the autumn harvest. As a result..."

"I see, huh? It's a good business to make money! The family can purchase new grain every autumn and sell it to the war-torn parties in the spring and summer when the price is high! Hahaha! There are also obsolete weapons, this is to make war money! Hahaha! Hosokawa Nobumoto said that he was so happy that he was thinking about doing business.

"My lord... The family has a trade with the Ming... It's enough for his family's expenses..."In Honda's view, war money is just a small amount of money, how can it be violent to trade with Ming.

"Tut-tut! You don't understand this, although the Ming trade is quite profitable, but it takes a long time. And the war... But everywhere, this is called a long stream of water and a tower of sand! Well, when you're done with these two countries, plan how to implement it when you go back. Mmmm, that's it..."Hosokawa Nobumoto began to fall into deep thought, not caring at all about the Tottori Castle that was being defended in front of him.
