Yagami Castle, the Hosokawa army has been besieged for more than two months, and the people in the city are worried all day long, and even heard that the Akai family has been razed to the ground by Hosokawa Nobumoto.

At this time, Hosokawa Nobugen was looking at the information in his hand, since the last visit of Takataka Kuroda, he knew that someone must have deliberately intercepted the information in the back road. He immediately ordered Mochizuki Yoshicho to lead the elite ninjas, and searched all the way, and finally found the hidden Maori ninja. After a fierce battle, the world ghost was seriously wounded, and the Maori ninja was also slaughtered, and the road of intelligence was opened again.

"Hmm... Looks like I'm going to go back as soon as possible. Hosokawa Nobumoto said to himself that this time the information was even more serious, and in addition to the other family mentioned by Kuroda Takataka, there were also individual wealthy families in Settsu Province who were also involved in the rebellion. The core of the rebellion was in Arima-gun and Kawabe-gun, which were close to Bessho's family, and the main ones were Arima Noriyori of Mita and Tada Shigekuni of Tada.

"Yahachiro, let's start planning, tonight we must ensure that Yagami City is taken in one fell swoop!" Hosokawa Nobumoto closed the information, Kuroda Takataka and Hosokawa Fujitaka had already set off for their respective destinations, and it should have already begun.

"Yes! Please rest assured that after so many hours of contact, the inner city should be ready. Honda Masanobu bowed his head and put away the papers scattered on the table.

At night, when people are sleepy and tired, the castle is brightly lit, and the vigilance and patrol are also extremely strict, just to prevent the night attack of the Hosokawa army.

Stomp, stomp! Shinai Kyoye is inspecting Higashinomaru, and his reputation is not under Naomasa Akai, another brave warrior in Tanba, who once won as many as eighteen heads when fighting the Naito family. Therefore, corresponding to Naomasa Akai, who was dressed in red armor and was known as "Tanba no Red Oni", Shinoi Kyoye, who was wearing blue armor, was given the nickname "Tanba no Blue Oni".

"How? Is there any situation? "Ikai asked the samurai who was on duty at night.

"Lord Huiyi, everything is fine, please rest assured." The warrior saluted respectfully, one of his own right-hand men.

"Very good, I'll go to the city gate to inspect it, you guys must take care of this place!" Shikai Kyoye nodded, and led a group of cronies straight to the gate of Yagami City.

"Huh? Lady Onii, why are you here? "Guarding the city gate is Hideka Hatano, he is the younger brother of Hideji Hatano, and the cronies of the Hatano family are arranged in various key positions in Yagami Castle.

"How about coming down and having a look? How can I help? "It's natural for Shinai to come to Hideka Hatano.

"Hehe... I'm worried about Lord Lao's well, and it's safe and sound here, so you'd better go back to Higashinomaru to be on guard. Hideka Hatano smiled slightly, thanking Hiroi for his kindness.

"Huh? Who is that? It's a ninja! Suddenly, as if he had discovered something, he looked behind Hideka Hatano in surprise.

"What! Where? Where is it? Hideka Hatano hurriedly looked back, but saw nothing.

With a muffled pop, Hideka Hatano looked down with difficulty, only to see a bloody blade on her chest.

"You... Traitor..."By the time Hideka Hatano came to her senses, it was too late, and the powerlessness in her body told her that she was about to die.

"Kill! Open the gates! Welcome the Hosokawa army into the city! The Risai Kyoye yelled viciously, and a group of men behind him howled and rushed towards the panicked defenders.

Crunch crunch... The heavy gate was slowly opened, and no matter how strong the castle was, it could not prevent it from being breached from the inside.

"Kill!" The Hosokawa army shouted and rushed into Yagami Castle, and the samurai led by it turned out to be Naomasa Akai.

The Akai family finally negotiated and subordinated to the Hosokawa family, Akai Naomasa is not only brave, but also a very wise person, otherwise he would not have led the Akai family to this day.

"Red Oni! There you are! Shiwai Jikyoye happily greeted him, the two had a similar temper and the most iron relationship. It was for this reason that he pretended to announce the demise of the Akai clan and secretly made Akai Naomasa contact with the Shiwai Kyoye in the city, and hit it off.

"Hahaha! Blue Oni! Attaboy! Walk! Kill him and leave no armor behind! Akai Naomasa walked over and patted each other on the shoulder excitedly, both happy to see each other and happy to be on the right side of each other.

"Higanomaru I've got it under control, come with me!" Shinoi led the way and led the Hosokawa army to Higashinomaru quickly.

Yagami Castle is a long and narrow mountain castle from east to west, with cliffs in the north and south, and the East no Maru and Nishi no Maru are actually the three main gateways on both sides, each with an area of about 550 m2.

Ninomaru and Honmaru form a hollow shape, the huge Honmaru covers an area of 900 m2, surrounded by solid and towering stone walls, the top of the wall is full of swords, and there is only one main entrance leading to Ninomaru, which is also a thickened fireproof closed gate. The so-called sword is a blade set under the eaves, which can play a very effective role in preventing the enemy from climbing.

Ninomaru, which plays the role of a circular passage, can only accommodate four people in a flat row, and the area is only 150m2, and its practical structural form is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

"My lord! Ninomaru has been taken down by us! With Shinoi Kyoye as the internal response, the Hosokawa army passed through Higashinomaru unimpeded, and the gate connecting Ninomaru was also taken by his subordinates.

"Well done!" Shinoi Kyoye praised happily, and then poured into the small Ninomaru.

"Archery! Archery! Give me a hard shot! "Hidesho Hatano was in charge of Honmaru's guards, and he kept ordering the defenders to shoot arrows from the narrow room (perforation) in the wall to the Hosokawa army in the cloister below.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Knock knock! Hosokawa's army soon made a half-circle and came to the gate, frantically smashing the heavy gate with the hilt of his sword.

"Bring the door knocker!" Akai Naomasa shouted loudly, in this battle, his Akai clan is the forerunner, and he is equivalent to a pioneer officer.

"Hey... Hey..."Several ashigaru carried the heavy door-knocking logs and shouted slogans to the gate.

Whoosh! Poof! "Ugh! Yes! "A few screams, several of them were shot by the arrows of the defenders, and boom... The doorkeeper also rolled to the ground.

"Damn! Lift up! Lift up! Akai Yukiya hurriedly commanded another group of ashigaru to go up and lift the door knocker.

"Archery! Aim for their knockers! Archery! Don't let them pass! Hatano Hidesho also understood that this was a matter of life and death, and his red eyes prevented all the tools for breaking the door.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Burst! Burst! The Hosokawa army was frustrated in its attack and was confined to a small space and passively beaten.

"What's going on? Why haven't you breached the gate yet? Several figures galloped to the side of Akai Naomasa and Shioi Kyoye, and the ninja's costumes were reflected in the moonlight.
