Originally, the doctrine of Terruma Temple determined that Shimoma Yorizhao would never object to this proposal, but what he didn't expect was that an accident happened, and he only heard Shimoma Yorizhao speak: "Since you have all finished speaking, let's say a few words from this seat." ”

After speaking, I saw him groan slightly, and then continued: "This seat thinks that this is a good time to destroy the high mountain army, how can we hide in this temple and defend passively?"

The Gaoshan Clan is the enemy of my Pure Land True Sect, and now the enemy is in front of me, if the Gaoshan Army is too much more than the monks and soldiers under our command, it will not be a big problem for us to lead the people to retreat in the temple, but now the number of the Gaoshan Army is not much more than ours, if I still can't hold on, then I will be laughed at by all the temples in the world, is it because you are afraid of the Gaoshan Clan? ”

After hearing the teachings of Zhaolian Temple, he couldn't help but be shocked, only to hear him ask in an incredulous tone: "What does the master mean that we will take the initiative to attack?" ”

I saw that Shimoma Lai Zhao nodded and said: "Yes, I mean to take the initiative to attack, this I led the crowd to come, the main purpose is to fight with it, not to defend passively, if not, it is better to defend in Honganji, why bother here." ”

When he said the previous words, he didn't feel anything about the teachings of Teruzenji Temple, and secretly admired his determination, but when he heard the last sentence, he was a little displeased, Shinma Yorizhao was clearly threatening himself, if he still insisted on defending, then I am afraid that he would lead his own command to attack the Takayama Army, no matter whether he won or lost, he would not want to get any assistance from Kaga Honganji Temple in the future.

But he was the abbot of a temple after all. He still felt that it was too reckless to send the army to attack, but he didn't dare to refuse, so he had to change his way and persuade: "Although what the master said is reasonable, the mountain army is extremely elite after all, and once he leads the army to attack. Even if it can be repulsed, then the losses of the monks must be not small, if this is the case. In the unlikely event that the mountain army makes a comeback, we have how to resist it, so please think twice about it. ”

If it is said to be in charge of the affairs of the temple. Even if the two Shimoma Lai Zhao are tied together, it is not as good as the teachings of the Lotus Temple, but if it is a matter of combat, then the Shimoma Lai Zhao is much stronger than it.

Although he heard from these words, the teachings of Zhaolian Temple still wanted to persuade him to give up his plan to go to the army, but the other party's persuasion was also well-intentioned, so it did not make him feel the slightest displeasure, but since he had decided to go to the army, he had already thought about it clearly.

So as soon as the other party finished speaking, he heard him speak: "I'm afraid the master is too worried." As I have already said, it will take less than a month for the Takeda army to launch a full-scale attack on the land under the rule of the Takayama family, as long as the Takayama army can be defeated this time, then how can they have time to send troops against us again.

As for the rest, then there is no need to worry. With the strength of the Takeda family, it is not easy to eliminate the Takayama family, and the Takayama army has been severely damaged by us tonight, so there is no possibility of it turning the tables.

The matter of the loss has already been considered by this seat, and we will wait for a head-on battle with it. It is true that even if we can defeat it, we will inevitably suffer heavy losses, but why should we fight it head-on, the Gaoshan Clan is good at sneak attacks, won't we be able to use it? This time, I just want to return the favor with the other way, so that he can also taste the taste of being attacked by others, if he fights like this, the horror of the battle will not cause us much loss.

Now that the Gaoshan Army has been encamped five miles away, I am afraid that we have not yet learned of his movements, so the defense will certainly not be as tight as in wartime, such an opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it would be a pity if it was missed. ”…,

Saying this, I saw him turn his head to look at the teachings of Zhaolian Temple, and then stared into his eyes and asked, "I wonder if the master has anything else to say?" ”

The words have already been said to this point, what else can be said about the teachings of Zhaolian Temple, only to hear him speak: "Since the master has made up his mind, then I will listen to the master's arrangement." ”

Hearing this, Shimoma Yorizhao finally nodded with satisfaction.

"Master Presiding, I wonder how long it will take to reach the place where the Gaoshan Clan Sect is located from this temple?"

"If what Shinkai said is right, then there will be an hour to arrive." I saw Shimoma Lai Zhao stand up and said loudly: "Okay, order the monks and soldiers to set off immediately." ”

When the 800 monks heard that the result of the discussion of several masters was not to stick to the temple, but to go out to fight, the expression on their faces also changed color, from the faces of the monks of Kaga Honganji Temple showed excitement, they immediately gathered the team to prepare to set off after receiving the order, and the faces of the 100 monks of the Lotus Temple were not so good-looking, after they heard the order to assemble, they were stunned one by one, and the blood on their faces suddenly fell, they were able to rub for a while. Even the toilet was almost overwhelmed by them.

It took a lot of effort for the two commanders in the Zhaolian Temple to put the team in order, but even so, the hundred monks and soldiers slowly followed behind, letting them take the lead, and they didn't even think about it.

Seeing that the monks and soldiers under his command were so unbearable, and then looking at the monks and soldiers of Kaga Honganji Temple so elite, the teachings of Terrainji Temple hated it in his heart, the reason why the monks and soldiers of this temple were like this, he couldn't blame others, Hida was located in the middle of nowhere, and the poorer the countryside, the easier it was for civilians to be instigated.

In this way, don't look at the land controlled by Zhaolian Temple is only a thousand stones, but even the powerful Ji Xiaolu family does not dare to provoke easily, because there is no danger, over time, the teachings of Zhaolian Temple for the discipline of monks and soldiers are becoming more and more relaxed.

And today, these monks and soldiers under his command are embarrassed in front of outsiders, even if his heart is wide, his face can't be hung up, so he has been thinking about how to train them after this battle is over, although he does not require them to be as high as the monks of Kaga Honganji Temple, but at least he can't be embarrassed when he is brought out.

And just when he was thinking about rectifying the monks under his command, he saw Xinhai quickly running to the front and whispering: "The first one, a few hundred meters away, is where the Gaoshan Army is stationed. As he spoke, he pointed forward.

Zhaolian Temple Teachings looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, he saw a fire flickering hundreds of meters away.

At this time, Lai Zhao had already caught up in the military momentum and rushed over from the front. I only heard him speak: "Now is the time when the enemy is asleep, according to my opinion, don't let the army rest, and directly attack the Gaoshan army, so as not to have too many dreams at night." ”

But as soon as he finished speaking, he only heard a "bang", and the sound of iron cannons came from the unwilling mountain forest.

Although there was only one sound, in the quiet of the night, such a loud noise was enough to alarm the high mountain army hundreds of meters away.

Shimoma Lai Zhao wanted to launch a sneak attack on the Takayama army, although this idea was very good, but he forgot how the Takayama clan, which was good at sneak attacks, could be defeated by his own battle statement, although there was no ninja army to follow this time, but a few iron cannon ashigaru as a secret sentry were sent hundreds of meters away from the camp, which was enough to warn.

"Quick, don't have any delay, immediately launch an attack on the Alpine Army." When the sound of the iron cannon passed, I only heard the next room Lai Zhao shouting loudly.

Since it has been discovered by the enemy, the longer it drags on, the more prepared the enemy will be, fortunately, the distance between them is a few hundred meters, if it is farther away, then the teachings of Zhaolian Temple and Shimoma Lai Zhao can only retreat to Zhaolian Temple in disgrace. …,

As soon as the iron cannon sounded, the clan woke up from his sleep, he arranged a secret post a few hundred meters away from the camp just to prevent trouble, and he didn't feel that the monks in Zhaolian Temple dared to take the initiative to attack, and now the enemy is coming, which makes him feel a little surprised.

But it's good to come, so that you don't have to pull up the mountains and wade to attack tomorrow, and now you are on the defensive side, although this camp is not strong, but you can also use it to destroy the enemy's main force.

The sound of the iron cannon not only woke up the clan, but also the 1,500 troops in the camp, and even if there were those who did not, they were also woken up by the chaotic sound in the camp.

Hearing the sound outside, the clan couldn't help frowning, it seems that this 1,500 troops still need to strengthen their training, if the previous army is changed, then now in addition to the shouting and killing sound outside, there must only be the shouts of the retainers under his command, and the sound of footsteps, and it is impossible to hear other sounds.

However, the noise like this did not last long, and it was clear that the ashigaru had calmed down after the initial panic, and as the enemy was getting closer, although their faces were full of panic, they were able to follow their respective commanders and go straight to the wooden fence around the camp.

Fortunately, they came in time, if they were a step late, I am afraid that hundreds of monks and soldiers would rush in without hindrance, once they were allowed to rush into the village, even if they could finally be wiped out, but the mountain army would pay a heavy price for this time.

And now, there is no need to worry too much, when the various armies of the Takayama Army were still in chaos, Maeda Keiji had already led a hundred Banner Samurai to rush to the wooden fence, this Flag Warrior Team was the elite of the elite selected from the various armies of the Takayama family, and no one had endured a few battles like this, so he had long been accustomed to it.

There is no need for Maeda Keiji to order, they are divided into two, of which eighty people are guarding the wall, and the other twenty are guarding the door, don't look at their small number, but the combat power is the strongest in the Gaoshan family, plus this month of diligent martial arts, even if one person deals with three or four monks, it is not too much of a problem, and it is still possible to block the eight hundred monks in a short time.
