Yesterday, when I was posting a bar to "sell" this book, a bar friend actually said to me:

Amazing, the style of this book looks a bit like "Warring States Fuxing Memorabilia"! ”

Belch...... I don't have any comment on this, but I still want to say that I can't learn the style of Xiongda, and this book is similar to the style of "Lucky Star???

Is it? How did I not know? ……

"Uncle!"

A young man in black armor rode up to Akai Naomasa.

"Are you okay?"

I don't know if this young man is lacking in heart.

One arrow may be fine, but how can two arrows be "okay"?

And it is also a "big arrow" with a length of 50 centimeters.

Although the situation is not good, no matter what, in front of his nephew, he can't show his weak side.

"I ...... I'm all right, why are you here? ”

"I ......"

The young player didn't speak.

"Didn't I tell you to defend Kuroi Castle?"

Akai Naomasa's face changed drastically.

"Is there something wrong with Kuroi Castle?!"

"Uncle !!"

The young man slammed to his knees and said in a whimpering tone.

"Uncle! Kuroi Castle has been captured by the enemy! ”

"Nani !!"

Everyone present was stunned, and they all stood there stunned.

Capture of Kuroi Castle?

Is it a father's strategy?

But why don't you even know about me?

Keiji Maeda and Keir Caizo also looked at me with puzzled faces, trying to find answers.

I don't know, and it's even less likely that they know what's going on.

"How could it be ?!!!"

Akai Naomasa roared loudly, ignoring the injuries on his body.

"Akechi Mitsuhide's army is all here, how can he allocate extra men to attack Kuroi Castle?"

"Isn't it Akechi Mitsuhide?"

The young man said with a handful of snot and tears.

"It's Yoshiaki Naito, he betrayed !!"

"You mean Naito?!!!"

Akai Naomasa's eyes breathe fire.

The Naito clan was originally the guardian of Tanba, but after the fall of the Hosokawa family, the Naito clan began to compete with the Hatano clan and the Akai clan for the supremacy of Tanba.

In the battle of Wakugo ten years ago, the Naito army was hit hard by the other two companies, and its strength plummeted. The governor at that time died at the hands of Akai Naomasa.

However, after Akechi Mitsuhide began to attack Tanba, the Naito clan still sided with Tanba and fought against the Akechi Army.

And Akai himself believed them at the time.

But who would have thought ......

"Yoshiaki Naito, that dog thing! I'm going to tear him to pieces!! ”

Akai Naomasa yelled in his words.

In addition to murderous, it is still murderous.

Because of the violent trembling of his body, small streams of blood fell to the ground in the form of water droplets.

"Wait!"

In the end, he is a famous general, under extreme anger.

Akai Naomasa quickly came to his senses.

"Now that Yoshiaki Naito only has 3,000 men in his hands, how can he capture Kuroi Castle?"

"Uncle...... It's Nobuyuki Ikeda! ”

The young player's body shuddered.

"Nobuyuki Ikeda led 5,000 men and horses to attack the castle with Yoshiaki Naito, and there were less than 2,000 men and horses in the castle......"

He couldn't go on.

Nobuyuki Ikeda?

I remember.

This person should be Ikeda Hengxing.

"Now that Kuroi Castle is lost, we have no choice but to go to Hagami Castle to ask Hatano for help."

Akai Naomasa's chest rose and fell.

It can be imagined that now he is carrying out such a drastic "activity" in his heart.

"Without further ado! Come on! ”

Akai Naomasa rode a war horse brought by his nephew and patted the horse to leave.

"Akai old dog, where to go!!"

I stood up and drew my bow and arrows.

A white-feathered arrow shot at Akai Naomasa on the horse.

But this time Akai is prepared.

His body flashed.

The arrow flew over.

"The kid who can only release cold arrows, I'll take your life first."

Akai Naomasa, who had long been unbearable for me, yelled and rushed at me single-handedly.

"Then it depends on whether you have the ability to do it!"

I'm still not in a good situation, and after three arrows, I'm almost out of strength.

But I gritted my teeth and picked up the boy Che Angang and held it across my chest.

Akai stabbed straight at me, and I dodged it sideways, as the knife in my hand slashed at his gun.

Knives and guns collide!

The body of the spear is made of wood, but my boy Cheangang is made of steel.

So, in the stunned gaze of Akai Naomasa.

The spear that followed him in the north and south for many years.

In front of him, it was broken in two.

"Kill your !!"

Samurai have an extraordinary affection for their weapons.

Lost the head of the gun body with a sweep.

"Bang"

There was a heavy knock on my head.

I flew out.

"Protecting the Young Master !!"

This is the voice of Keiji Maeda, which is expected to be mixed with anger and eagerness, and even a little crying.

That's a buddy, Keijiro!

That's my last thought.

I don't know what happened next.

Because, that blow just now.

I've fainted......

When I woke up.

It was already noon two days later.

"Where is this?"

This is clearly not a barracks.

Because the barracks have no ceiling.

There are no tatami mats or wooden doors.

I looked at my surroundings and I was sure of ......

I slept in a city.

But what kind of city is this?

I don't remember being here.

Maybe it's because you're too tired, or maybe your mind isn't fully clear at all.

It didn't take long for me to fall asleep again.

I didn't wake up until late afternoon.

That is, I had almost three days off.

I finally got back on my feet.

I am still not full of energy and energy, but my blood has recovered, and it is completely different from the previous sick appearance.

"Big brother!"

The wooden door is pulled open.

That familiar voice.

"You're finally well, big brother!"

Hosokawa Tadashi grabbed me by the shoulders and shook it constantly.

Although I could feel the surprise and concern in his tone, I still wanted to say something.

"Please let me go, don't you do it, if you shake it like this, my soft bones will be demolished by you in a while!"

"Oh...... Good, good, good. ”

He hurriedly let go of me.

"Give me that little to eat, I'm dying of hunger."

Under the orders of Hosokawa Tadashi, after a while, two attendants delivered light vegetable porridge.

After eating, I asked.

"Where is this?"

"This is Kuroi Castle, ......"

As soon as he said this, Hosokawa Tadashi became excited, as if the city had been taken under his command.

After learning of the fall of Kuroi Castle, Akai Naomasa fled to Hakami Castle under Hideharu Hatano with the remnants of his defeated army.

At this point, the situation in Tamba was different.

In order to speed things up, Oda Nobunaga sent two more detachments to assist his father.

North.

There are 5,000 men and horses of Niwa Nagahide, who are besieging Yokoyama Castle, and he is almost unable to hold on to Nobufang, but he does not have the consciousness of Akai Naomasa, but directly and secretly sends someone to contact Niwa Nagahide to discuss the surrender.

And to the south, Yoshiaki Naito's betrayal set off a chain reaction.

In just a few days, Katakura Ganggoro, Oda Samasuke, Ueo Bingbu and other wealthy families who had already hated Hatano announced that they would join the "revolutionary family" of the Oda family.

In the face of these wall-grass behaviors, Nobuyuki Ikeda and his father behaved quite generously.

"Tuhao, let's be friends!"

So under the leadership of this slogan, the "local tyrants" of Tamba threw themselves into the Oda army one after another.

It seems that the day of pacifying Tamba is not far off.

"I can't imagine that I have been asleep for three days, and so many things have happened......"

I sighed as I drank the porridge.

"Alas, it's a pity, lying in bed, I don't know anything......"

"That's right......"

Hosokawa Tadashi didn't seem to comfort me at all, but gloated somewhere, looking like he had taken a big advantage.

I didn't speak, but I was silently calculating in my heart.

Similar to the development in history, Akechi Mitsuhide's Tanba strategy itself is not difficult, but the problem is.

The two hard stubbles of Kuroi Castle and Yagami Castle!

Now that the Black Well Castle has been broken, there is only the Eight Upper Castle left.

Historically, the siege of 30,000 horses by the Akechi, Hashiba, Niwa, and Ikeda armies had no effect.

In the end, it was the monkey's "starvation" and "thirst" that forced Hatano to surrender.

But even so, it took more than a year......

"Meet my father, and meet His Highness Ikeda!"

After eating and resting for a while, I went to the castle tower to meet my father.

It just so happened that Nobuyuki Ikeda, the hero who captured the city, was also there.

Ikeda is just 40 years old this year, and he is a handsome man, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a melon seed face, high cheekbones, a high nose, and piercing eyes.

Forty years old, handsome old man with a good demeanor.

Because in this raid, he came to assist his father as a deputy, so it was his father who sat in the main seat, and he sat slightly to the left.

Because he was the same as his father in the Oda family, we couldn't arrange a place for him to start.

"In these few battles, Nobumitsu has shown great courage and not only won the battle of Gakiya (speaking of this, my face is red)," Ikeda Nobuyi praised, "Now that even a famous man like Akai Naomasa has been hurt by it, and the lord will definitely be very happy to hear this news." ”

"The boy is incompetent, and everything he does is just opportunistic (which is true), and he deserves such praise from His Highness Ikeda."

The more others praise us, the more we can't our tails.

"Yes, Shinguang still needs to hone and hone...... Let's get down to business. ”

"Hmm."

There are no other retainers here, and it is not appropriate for me to stay here.

I was about to get up and say goodbye.

"Shinmitsu!"

My father stopped me.

"Father, is there something wrong?"

"Thirty miles away from Kuroi Castle, there is a mountain-walled castle, which is still in the hands of the Hatano army, but with the rout of Akai Naomasa, there are now less than eight hundred people in the city."

"What do you mean?"

I can roughly guess his intentions.

"I want to appoint you as the lord of Mountain Wall Castle, what do you think?"

"Huh......"

(To be honest, I think "Ikeda Nobuyi" is more of an official name than "Ikeda Tsuneko"...... Ask for collection, ask for recommendation, I thank you)
