"It's so cold~~" I sat in my tent and rubbed my hands together.

Actually, I should be content, now I still have a tent to withstand the cold wind, so now the ashigaru outside really have to "drink the northwest wind".

The cold wind blows, and the night is as cool as water. In fact, it is already late April, and even in the northeast, which is the highest latitude, spring has fully arrived. However, the climate on San'in Dao's side has not shown signs of warming, and the cold wind is still wandering around.

Because there are not many records of Yamana Yutoyo in history, I simply think that he is just a "small character".

But it turns out that this old guy is not only not "small", but unexpectedly "big".

After acquiring most of the Tajima territory (which was also destroyed by the Yagi clan) except for Takeda Castle and Ikuno Ginzan, the old fox's reputation soared, and he was even given the title of "Lord of the Yamanamo-Nakako".

At the same time as the attack on the Yagi clan, Yamana Yutoyo sent his eldest son, Yamana Toyo, to Kyoto to meet Oda Nobunaga and pay tribute to him.

Although he knew that the Yamana clan was not sincere, Oda Nobunaga did not debunk it for a while, in addition to using the Yamana clan's prestige in the western country, he also had his own considerations.

The Akechi Army has also entered Tanba, and if they turn against the Yamana clan and attack Takeda Castle from behind. The wise army will have no way to retreat, and even annihilate the whole army.

Besides, the Yamana clan, the Ukita clan, and the Mori clan all have a lot of festivals, and putting it in the San'in Dao can also help stop the big guys in the west.

I'm sure Yamana Yutoyo must have mastered the mentality of wise Nobunaga before he dared to openly declare his surrender to him.

So in such a tacit situation where you and I are tacit, but the Mayama clan surrendered to Akechi Nobunaga.

"Alas!" Thinking of this, I sighed, "A Yamana Yutoyo has such means, what about the Ukita Naoya?" What about the two rivers of Maori? Wouldn't it be more difficult to deal with......"

The entire camp was quiet, and the scattered ashigaru was also staggering, and no matter how damp the land of the Sanyin Dao was, a few of the more daring ones even curled up directly on the ground and fell asleep, the best evidence of which was their snoring like thunder.

A few ashigaru who were in charge of the vigil sat around the fire, and from time to time threw some dead sticks into the fire to go in and directly stir the bonfire with iron tongs to ensure that the fire was burning, so that the sleeping themselves and the few lazy people around them who had fallen asleep around them would not be invaded by the cold.

I tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep.

"The starry sky is so beautiful~~" I walked out of the tent and looked up at the sky full of stars.

I looked at the two flags guarding the outside of the tent, and unlike the undutiful ones, they stood upright and upright, without the slightest expression on their faces.

"Tell me, you two, what is that spoon in the sky?" I asked, pointing to the Big Dipper in the sky.

"Back to His Royal Highness the Young Lord, that's the Big Dipper!"

"Hmm~~" Although I already knew the answer, I nodded and made a look of sudden realization.

"I heard that by observing the Big Dipper, you can see your own fate, what do you two see?"

"Uh......" Hearing me say this, the two of them quickly stared at the Big Dipper without moving.

After watching it for a long time, they found nothing, and the two of them lowered their heads blankly, "Back to the young master, we have nothing...... Young Lord! ”

There is no shadow of me in front of me for a long time.

"You guys are lazy!!" I walked over to a campfire and shouted.

"Less...... Your Highness, Young Lord! "A few guys who had been sleeping like dead pigs for a long time were immediately woken up by my loud voice, and when they saw that it was me, they were so frightened that they were scared.

"See His Royal Highness the Young Master!"

"See His Royal Highness the Young Master!" ……

Thanks to the blessing of my loud voice in this life, all the ashigaru around me have changed from "coma" and "semi-coma" to sober and can't be awake.

Somehow, I remembered that when I was in middle school in my previous life, I was often woken up by the teachers of "all evils" in this way, and I felt a little sober.

"Alright, alright!" I waved my hand and made a magnanimous appearance, "I won't pursue you when you sleep, but remember to pay attention to the situation around you, it's best to keep a few people to take a look, don't sleep all, after all, the enemy will take advantage of this time to attack." ”

What else can I say? Anyway, Ashigaru deserted to sleep in the middle of the night, and this kind of thing can happen everywhere. How could I possibly change? If you want to pursue it, there will definitely be no result.

Just turn a blind eye, so that you may be able to give this group of "inferior people" a generous look.

"Thank you, Your Highness the Young Master, for sparing your life."

"Thank you ...... much......

Sure enough, this action worked, and they all showed a look of gratitude that had escaped death, and kowtowed to me to thank me.

"Alright, you can go about your business."

"Yes~~" Although I got my "approval", none of them dared to sleep anymore.

I sat down on the edge of the campfire, my body warmed, and the intense flames lit up my face.

At this time, I suddenly thought of the CCTV version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that I watched at the time, in the dark moon and windy nights, it is often a good time to rob the camp, and even Guan Erye and Zhang Sanye have suffered losses in this regard.

After we marched along Tajima into Tamba Ice Prefecture, we fought several battles with the Hatano army in succession, and all of them were victorious, and Hatano Hideji had to put away his carelessness and respond carefully.

In the case of a surprise attack, it should be possible.

"Your Royal Highness the Young Lord!!" A man in black wearing a black barrel and an octagonal ninja helmet rushed to me.

It is a ninja patrolling the neighborhood.

"What's wrong?!" Even though my face was covered, I could still see the nervousness and excitement in his eyes, and I chuckled in my heart.

"Hideharu Hatano's general, Naomasa Akai, led his army and hurried towards our army!!"

"Nani?!" I don't know what to say, I actually meet whatever I'm afraid of, and God is really "empathetic".

"What is the strength of the enemy army?" I asked him calmly, I knew that the more I got to the crisis point, the more I couldn't panic, which would have a great blow to the morale of the military.

"Because it's dark, the little ones can't see clearly!" A hint of shame flashed in his eyes, "But the small estimate is that the enemy army does not exceed five thousand, and most of them are ashigaru, and there are not many cavalry, because the small one does not hear the sound of horses' hooves too loud!" ”

"That's it~~" Listening to his report, I felt a little more at ease, "You did a good job, does the hall know that the enemy is coming?" ”

"Not yet!"

"Then you go and report these things to him, and I'll line up here to meet the enemy first!"

"Yes!" In an instant, his figure vanished.

Actually, when I heard that there was an enemy, not only did my face change, but the other Ashigaru who was patrolling on the side also noticed something strange and surrounded me.

All of Ashigaru looked into the dark distance, with a look of fear of the unknown in their eyes, and some of them were also battle-hardened people, and their faces became solemn when they saw my expression.

"Array, prepare for battle!" I shouted to the banner book in the distant tent, "Bring me my armor and sword!! ”

Japanese armor is not light, and its parts are complicated. Anyone who has watched the Dahe drama knows that if the generals want to wear it, they must have several people on the side to assist at the same time.

Just as I was hurriedly putting the armor on my body, the sound of "woo~~" came from the shogunate of the Chinese army camp. Then there was the sound of footsteps.

It looks like everyone is awake, so that's fine.

At this time, Keiji Maeda and Keer Caizang also came, and the two of them were disheveled, and it seemed that they were also in a hurry.

"It's really bad luck," Keiji Maeda yawned, "Lao Tzu is sleeping soundly......"

"Yes~~" Ke'er Caizang was also dissatisfied, "Uncle Ben was drinking in the whale house in Kyoto in his dream, and suddenly he ......"

"Shut up you two!!" I said angrily: "It's going to be a war, you two give me 120,000 points of spirit!" If you want to sleep, I'll give you an idea, and I'll take a few shots of their knives and guns later, so that you can sleep as long as you want, and you won't wake up again!! ”

"Yes, yes...... Subordinates know their mistakes! The two of them quickly corrected their attitudes, although I usually joked with them, but at the critical time, I was quite serious, and they all understood this.

"Naomasa Akai?" I thought about this "Tamba Red Ghost" I had never met, what kind of person was he?

The answer was soon revealed.

By the light of the fire on the ground, a big man with a long beard rode on a horse, led his men and horses, and rushed forward beyond our army.

And on the head of the attack of our wise army was a three-row iron artillery team.

"There is an order in the main hall, the iron cannons are divided into rows to attack, and the enemy troops are not allowed to escape without permission until they come to the front of the battle, and those who violate the order will be killed!! Iron Cannon Commander Wise Guangzhong shouted.

As soon as he finished speaking, a dense sound of iron cannons came from there.

The two dozen Akai cavalrymen who were running at the forefront fell to the ground and disappeared into the crowd, and more horses stopped advancing in the smoke and circled in place.

The so-called iron cannon refers to the arquebus, although the arquebus is powerful, but the rate of fire and accuracy are not high, and the recoil is strong, the worst point is that the guns of this era generally do not have a cooling treatment, so that they have to be put down to prevent the bore from exploding after more than a dozen shots.

So it's not like in some time-travel novels, where a group of musketeers can conquer the whole world.

Although the war horses in front began to be frightened. But after all, most of the Akai army were infantry and well-trained,

"Everyone, don't be afraid!" Akai Naomasa shouted: "The enemy doesn't have many iron cannons, and they will be broken soon, so let's continue to charge!" ”

With his encouragement, the Akai Army immediately stabilized its formation and continued to charge forward, leaving only a chance for the Wise Iron Artillery to fire a salvo. I noticed a phenomenon that the knights who had fallen from their horses, as long as they could still move, all rushed forward with their swords and guns, and there was not the slightest fear in their eyes.

It's no wonder that the historical wise Mitsuhide attacked Tamba for four years, and most of that time was spent on this "Tamba Red Ghost". It seems that it does have a set.

"Shooting !!" Akechi Mitsutada pointed the sword in his hand at the enemy in front of him.

With his voice, there was another burst of gunfire......
