Chapter 568: A plan within a plan
"Kill!" Bichu Shinobi Mountain Castle shouted to kill the sky, and the Maori army was storming the city.
Although the strategy was to encircle the point and send reinforcements, for Kobayakawa Takakei, who had an army of 15,000, the division of troops to attack the city did not hinder the implementation of the strategy.
On the contrary, it is more real, and it can lure Yuxi to come to the aid quickly.
"Hold on! Resist me! "Shogun Oka Gangsuke led his troops to resist desperately, he was originally a small surname of the Ukita Nao family, from the family of Oka Katsu. Oka Rikatsu is one of the three elders of Ukita.,Since the time when he was guarding Otoko Castle, he has followed the Naoya family.,He also served as the deputy general of the Ukita Tadashi family.,It's a veteran figure in the family.。
"Oh!" The morale of the defenders was acceptable, and they had already repelled three waves of enemy attacks in succession.
Rustle... Mt. Katsuo, not far from Ninjayama Castle, ambushed many people. This is located on the west side of Ninjayama Castle, near the domain of Iga Iehisa. And the reinforcements of the Uki family will only come from the south, and then... Rushing out of Mt. Katsuo, you can attack its flank and back.
Stompe... Stompe... Sure enough, the 5,000-strong army led by the Ukita Naoke family appeared at the end of the south.
"It's coming... Beware of concealment! Iga Ieku's eyes flickered, and he hated the Ukita Naoya family. His father and son are sincerely loyal to the straight family, but they didn't expect to poison their father! The place where you kill your father is not the same as the sky!
In fact, the reason why the Ukita Naoya poisoned Iga Hisataka was not simply because of rumors that they secretly connected with the Maori family, but because of the Hosokawa family.
At that time, it was the honeymoon period of the two families, and his sister-in-law was still holding Hosokawa hostage, and suddenly such an incident happened, and the Ukita Nao family naturally wanted to settle the matter as soon as possible, and would rather kill by mistake than let it go!
"Hmm... Order the army, rest in place! "Seeing that as soon as they passed Mt. Katsuo, they would be able to reach Ninjayama Castle immediately, but suddenly stopped and couldn't leave.
"Huh?" Iga Iehisa, who was closely observing the Ukita army's every move, snorted softly, but when he saw that the army had stopped, several scout horses sprang out of the army and began to scout around.
"Not good! Sure enough, it is an old treacherous and cunning, and the whole army pays attention to concealment! Silence! Iga Ieku hurriedly turned back, ordered his men behind him, and hid behind the rocks at great speed.
Stompe... Stompe... The two scout horses were searching for the side of Mt. Katsuo, and when they reached the foot of the mountain, they suddenly stopped walking.
"Oops... Katsuzaburo, sit down and rest for a while. One of them beckoned the other to dismount and rest.
"Hey... Yashiro, what do you say is there to investigate in this place? The main hall is really overly careful. The two dismounted, one after the other, and went to the foot of the mountain together, resting against a rock. Behind this... It was the nervous atmosphere that did not dare to come out of the Iga family.
"Hmph, what kind of investigation, you don't know, it's actually because..." Katsuzaburo suddenly lowered his voice, and looked left and right, for fear of being listened to by others.
"What?" Yashiro leaned forward, it seems that there is some exciting news again, this Katsuzaburo has won the favor of the lord Togawa Hideyasu, and Togawa Hideyasu is a close and important minister around the main hall Ukita Naoyasu. There is often some inside information, and this Katsuzaburo always knows before them.
Iga Iehisa, who was hiding behind the rocks, couldn't help but climb two steps forward, pricking up his ears to hear more truthfully.
Suddenly!
Whoa... The sand and gravel slid down, hitting right next to Katsuzaburo and the others.
"What people!" Katsuzaburo jumped up in surprise and quickly exchanged glances with Yashiro.
"Damn..."Iga Iega scolded in his heart, and hurried to the middle of the wisdom: "Meow... Meow..."
"Cut! It turned out to be a tanuki, and it scared me. The two sat in disagreement, but they choked the Iga family so nervously that their backs were soaked.
The raccoon cat is not a pampered domestic cat of ordinary people, it is good at running, can sneak attack, can climb trees, often active in forest areas, but also seen in the bushes, bold, fierce, and comes out at night. Tanuki cats are carnivorous animals, mainly birds, often hunting other animals in ambush, and also eating rats, snakes, frogs and fruits.
The daimyo of the Sengoku period like to use animals as nicknames, such as the dragon of Echigo-Kamishi Kenshin; The Tiger of Kai - Takeda Shingen; Sagami Lion - Hojo Shiyasu; Omi no Eagle--Asai Nagamasa; Mino belly snake - Saito Michizo; Tosa Bat - Nagamune Ibu Yuanqin; Hizen's bear, Ryuzoji Takanobu and so on, it seems that this shows their power even more.
And in the early years, Oda Nobunaga was particularly fond of giving nicknames to others, such as the monkey Yushiba Hideyoshi; The tanuki Tokugawa Ieyasu, but Hosokawa Nobumoto still likes to call Tokugawa Ieyasu an old turtle.
"Katsuzaburo, I almost forgot to ask when I was interrupted just now, what is the reason for the stop-and-go?" The two seem to have started gossiping again.
"Hey... That's because... The body of the main hall... Fear... No more. Katsuzaburo shook his head, regret in his tone.
"I see... Ay... It's a pity that the hero of the main hall I..."Yashiro also began to sigh, it seems that the Ukita Naoya family is terminally ill, and almost everyone knows it.
"Let's go, let's go back, there's nothing to see here." Katsuzaburo stretched, as if they were going back.
"Whew... The two turned over their horses, pulled the reins of their horses, and ran towards their own army.
After a while, Iga Iehisa and the others dared to poke their heads out.
"Lord, it was so dangerous just now, thanks to your haste and wisdom, you deceived these two big fools." The samurai on the side directly patted the.
"Humph! It's all pediatrics! But then again, it seems that the time of this bastard of the Ukita family is running out. If you want to kill him with your own hands to avenge your father, you only have this one chance... Pass the order down, ready to attack at any time! "Iga Iehisa learned that the Ukita Naoya family was in poor health, and he was afraid that he would evacuate at any time, and he couldn't bear to be in a hurry.
"Yes! We will surely move forward bravely to avenge our ancestors! All the subordinates hurriedly lowered their leaders' orders, "patting their chests" assured.
*************
Stompe... Stompe... Two fast horses stepped over, running the distance, rolling up clouds of dust.
"Phew..."Katsuzaburo tugged at the reins of his horse and stopped.
Yashiro also stopped, and the two stood side by side.
"Whew... It was so dangerous just now, your reaction was too violent. Yashiro was a little dissatisfied, and when he heard the sand and gravel slipping, Katsuzaburo jumped three times high, almost putting the two of them in danger.
"Hehe... Conditioned reflex, conditioned reflex..."Katsuzaburo scratched his head embarrassedly, he was used to being a tanma, and he would naturally be vigilant when there was a disturbance.
"Forget it, anyway, I got through the tricks, and those fools really think they can make up a stupid thing, hum!" It turned out that the two of them did it on purpose to leak the information to the Iga family.
"Alright, the matter is finally done, let's go back to our lives. Drive! Katsuzaburo clamped the horse's belly, and the two of them went straight back to the army...
