Hosokawa Nobumoto, who returned to Devon City, looked at the elated Kinoshita Toyoshiro depressed, but he didn't expect this monkey to still participate. He earned the credit this time, and Hosokawa Nobumoto would not deliberately fail because of this soy sauce player, so he ruined his future.

"Are you all ready?" Hosokawa Nobumoto looked at the military situation that was boarding, this time the Hosokawa family went out with Naito Masanari's 100 bows and 200 ninja troops from Izuura Morikiyo.

"My lord! All arrangements have been made, and materials such as wood and Mino paper have been transported to the Kiso Mountains in the upper reaches of the Nagara River, and the 800 rivers led by Umwasuka-sama are on standby. The 1,000 men have been trained in groups, and are now on standby at Matsukura Castle under the leadership of Maeno-sama's younger brother, Tsubouchi Toshiding, who will be escorted by land with 500 troops led by Maeno-sama to Sumamata. Sanada Masayuki reported on the side.

"Have you arranged all the people in your family? When the time comes, there must be no mistake in the timing of the gathering. Hosokawa Nobumoto still asked uneasily, this time it is a three-party cooperative operation, the time difference is very important, and there is no such timekeeping tool as a watch in these years.

"Back to the lord, Miyata Mitsuji is in charge of Lord Beesuka, Nakamura is in charge of Maeno-sama, and the family is in charge of his subordinates, and the three subordinates have been rehearsed before, and they have all calculated the time, there will be no difference, please rest assured." Masayuki Sanada replied confidently.

"Good! Let's go! Time is yours! Hosokawa Nobumoto and others boarded the last small boat, which was transported by the George Navy Army, and in the past two years, the Wasuka family and the Saji family have made a lot of money with the Hosokawa family, and the three have been mutually beneficial and win-win, and they are in the same boat.

Late at night, at the end of the Rhinogawa River, which flows down the right bank of the Nagara River in Mino Province, the figure is shaking, and it is the 1,000 people gathered by the Hosokawa family, who are anxiously waiting for something on the shore.

"Look! Here it comes! "I saw more than 500 simple rafts flowing down the Nagara River." Fast! Follow the previously assigned tasks and get started! Nakamura Kazushi began to direct the people to act.

I saw that these 1,000 people were divided into four groups, each group of 250 people, who were responsible for the construction in the four directions of east, west, north and south. Each group was divided into five teams, each with 50 people, responsible for five aspects: digging the trench, guarding the fence, stone wall, transportation, and command construction.

"Transporting people! Hurry up and pick up the wood! Leave it to the fence people! Several people who were in command of the building were shouting by the river, and then there were people in charge of transportation, who scooped up the raft and handed it to the people who guarded the fence.

"The raft doesn't have to be untied! Plug it directly into the ground and fix it! "The fence was erected on three sides, east, west and north, as a horse in accordance with the order.

"Hurry up and unpack the raft! Let's put up the high oars first! "Since the south side is backed by the river, there is no need for protection for the time being, so the people in charge of the south side give priority to the construction of defensive towers and castle walls in the north and inside the castle.

"Dig along the drawn line! Don't dig it off! "The people of Tsuruori were responsible for the fortifications of the excavation operation at the established planning line of Sumamata.

"The foundation of the wall must be firm, and it is not a tofu scum project that will fall down as soon as it is pushed!" The man in charge of the stone wall first laid the foundation firmly according to the requirements, and then began to use the excavated earth directly to build the defensive stone wall.

The construction of Sumata Castle was carried out in an orderly manner, and except for a few people who were on the spot to direct and mediate, the rest of the people were going all out to build the castle tower, a fake castle tower made of wood and Mino paper.

"Hurry up! Priority reward for finishing 1 time! "Oh!" Hosokawa Nobumoto added fuel to the fire again, making the scene even more hot.

Such a big movement is very obvious even at night, not to mention that more than a hundred torches illuminate the sky.

"Quick! Fast! Mobilize the peasants! He even built a city right under my nose, and he didn't take me seriously again and again! Saito Ryuko roared angrily, as if everyone was bullying him.

"The lord has no worries, and the minister is determined to let it disappear like the last few times!" Hineno Hiroshi, an important minister of the Saito family, responded to the sound of the urn, and he was also one of the "Saito Six Old Men".

"Then let's act according to the previous division of labor, and lead 1,500 troops to harass the Oda army to build a castle, and Lord Hineno will mobilize the peasant soldiers and then arrive." Another important minister of the Saito family, Takegoshi Naomitsu, said that he is also one of the "Saito Rokuju".

"In that case! You don't want to go! Saito Ryuxing roared angrily, he had basically lost his military power now.

"Your Majesty takes orders!" Hineno Hiroshi and Takekoshi Shomitsu went down separately to prepare, and the night passed quickly, and Takekoshi Shomitsu led the urgently mobilized 1,000 peasant soldiers, plus 500 ashigaru of his own headquarters, a total of 1,500 troops hurried to Sumamata first.

"What! How is this possible! Takekoshi Shangguang looked at the scene in front of him in surprise, there was nothing in the past, but now there is a neat row of horse fences outside the city, and the city wall has been built one person high.

"Look! What is that! ”

"Oh my God! That's the castle tower! ”

"A city was built overnight!"

"Could it be that there is a god to help you! It's incredible! "When the Saito army saw the majestic castle tower, which was the unique symbol of a castle and the strongest fortification, they were already afraid of a fight.

"Calm down! Stabilization! The enemy must be sleepy after a busy night! Now organize an attack and take it down, and Sumamata Castle will be ours! Takekoshi Shomitsu hurriedly boosted his morale, he still had a glimmer of hope.

"Hurry up and tell Hineno-sama, let him organize the peasants and soldiers to come and meet as soon as possible, and tell him that Momata is a night city!"

On the Sumamata city wall, Hosokawa Nobumoto stood on a high place, looked at the Saito army that was arrayed in the distance, and began to command the army to enter the position: "Lord Wasuka led the spearhead to defend the outer fence, Maeno-sama's spear was on standby, and the bow was on standby on the castle wall. ”

Whoa! The Hosokawa army entered the designated position for the battle in high spirits according to the instructions, and due to the reconnaissance and warning, they were recuperating all night, but it was the Saito army that was really tired of the rapid march.

"Forward!" The Saito army lined up in a phalanx and attacked from the front.

"Steady! Steady! Volley triple hit! Shoot! "Whoosh! More than 100 bowashigaru arrows rained down under the command of Hosokawa Nobumoto, and after a long period of training, these 100 elite bowashigaru have already reached the primary level of bow samurai, and their archery skills are fast and accurate!

"Ahh Yes! "Ugh!" Puff puff! The Saito Army fell down in pieces like harvesting wheat, "Mom! As soon as the peasant soldiers in the back shouted, they turned around and ran.

"Go back! Give me back! Don't run! The samurai on the side were still struggling to drive away the peasant soldiers, and Hosokawa Nobumoto shook his head when he saw this, the peasant soldiers are not ordinary weak chickens.
