Chapter 92: The Battle of Sumamata Castle (3)

"Ahh~~Ahh In the quiet of the night, the sound was particularly harsh, and Hosokawa Nobumoto was using a loudspeaker to sing to the Saito army resting opposite.

"Are you sick, you don't sleep at night!" Hineno Hiroshi jumped up and scolded, but unfortunately there was no loudspeaker, and people couldn't hear it at all.

This situation has been going on for a long time, and at first Saito Jun was nervous and on the spot, and finally over time, he couldn't wait to cover his ears one by one.

"ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THAT'S THE END OF TODAY'S PARTY, AND FINALLY, LET'S LIGHT UP THE CASTLE TOWER! The end of this last hour! With that, the castle tower of Sumamata Castle lit up with a raging fire, lighting up the sky.

"I'm rubbing! Is this guy crazy? Saito's eyes were either stunned or frightened, looking at the flames of the castle tower, and his mind could no longer keep up with the 180-degree rhythm.

"Come on! Let's exchange lives for lives! Five, four! With Hosokawa Nobumoto's shouting, the eyes of some of the Saito soldiers gradually changed from extremely frightened to vicious, as if they were hypnotized.

"He's doing yarn?" Hineno Hiroshi was still stupidly waiting for Hosokawa Nobugen to finish shouting the last "one".

"Kill!" Saito suddenly killed thousands of troops outside the army, including ninjas, ashigaru, and Kawanami!

"Ahh Suddenly, there was also a group of crazy Saito family ashigaru who killed people indiscriminately in the army, causing even greater panic.

"Damn! Fall back! Retreat! Seeing that the army had collapsed, Hineno Hiroshi had no choice but to give the order to withdraw his troops and fled back to Inabayama Castle.

"Bastard! Even though the 5,000-strong army was defeated by less than 2,000 men, what did you eat? Come! Mobilize all the peasants! Come with me! Saito Ryuko was furious when he heard this report, and prepared to mobilize to the maximum to uproot Sumamata Castle.

"My lord!" Ando Mamoru suddenly spoke out to dissuade him: "Now that the enemy's city is strong and the general trend has been achieved, the lord should slowly plan for it, and he must no longer use swords and guns in vain, wasting national strength in vain." ”

"What! Isn't it possible to tolerate the Oda family's reckless behavior and ignore it! Saito Ryuxing said that he would not agree to anything.

"My lord, now that our side has lost many times, the family is already frightened, and it is really not appropriate to fight again. His Majesty thinks that the Oda family will definitely send troops to reinforce Sumamata Castle in the past few days, so it is better to unite with the Inuyama Oda family and ask them to send troops to Owari together, so that the Oda family can't take care of it, and then take the opportunity to pull out this nail! Mamoru Ando didn't flinch at all, he knew that Saito needed to recuperate now to make up for the wounds.

"Do anyone else have any opinions?" Saito Ryuko said that Ando could not give in, and turned to ask other important ministers, in a vain attempt to get more support.

"Your Majesty agrees with Ando-sama's suggestion." Bu Quan, another member of the Saito family, also agreed, saying that he and Mamoru Ando were good friends.

"Your Majesty suggests that you take down the Sumamata immediately, otherwise this place will make the family never have peace." Hineno Hiroshi supported his own father-in-law.

"Humph! The general of the defeated army dares to be brave! Hineno-sama should wash up and go home and sleep, and his majesty thinks that Ando-sama's strategy is more appropriate. "It's Inaba Kachitetsu who speaks on the side, and he and Mamoru Ando are in-laws.

"You!" Hineno Hiroshi was angry, and Inaba Ichitetsu, who was usually below him, dared to talk to him like this.

In this defeat of Sumamata, not only was another old man, Takekoshi Naomitsu killed, but Hineno Hiroshi himself also suffered heavy losses and lost his authority, plus Hibino Kiyomi and Nagai Toshibo, two old men who died in the battle a while ago. The old man of the six houses has gone to the fourth, and now the court has gradually begun to be controlled by the three people of Nishimino led by Mamoru Ando.

"But~~" Saito Ryuxing wanted to say something more, Ando Mamoru suddenly began to shout with a handful of snot and tears, what if Yoshiryuko was alive, it made Saito Ryuxing upset for a while, so he had to agree to go to Inuyama from Karumi Mitsuxian, after all, without the support of the three of Minong, he had no one in his hands, and he had no money in his hands.

On the other hand, there was a lot of cheering in the castle, and in three days, three full days, the construction of the castle was officially completed.

Oda Nobunaga, who got the news, praised Hosokawa Nobunamoto even more, and agreed to Hosokawa Nobumoto's original promise, giving Wasuka Koroku and Maeno Nagayasu to lead the security block, and promoted Kinoshita Toyoshiro to the general of Ashigaru, concurrently serving as the castle representative of Sumamata Castle, and summoned Hosokawa Nobugen back to Cheongju.

"What's wrong, Rokuro? So sullen? I've heard that you used only 1,500 people to break the 5,000 army of the Saito family. Oda Nobunaga and Hosokawa Nobugen sat opposite each other, next to Ikeda Tsuneko, who was pouring tea, but judging by his clumsy technique, he was obviously not good at tea ceremony.

"No, I just feel that the lord is biased, and the Sumamata Castle that his subordinates have worked so hard to build has cheapened that wild monkey." Hosokawa Nobumoto has a feeling that he has made a wedding dress for someone else.

"Hahaha, Rokuro wouldn't be so careful, right? Besides, it's impossible to put you in such a remote corner, right? Oda Nobunaga laughed, and in front of him were all his close relatives, and he looked very casual.

"By the way, after these battles, I found that although your troops are very small, they are like wolves and tigers in battle, I didn't expect you to have a unique training experience, why didn't you tell me earlier? I can also train a group of tiger and wolf divisions. Oda Nobunaga also pretended to be dissatisfied.

"My lord, it's not that your subordinates don't think about your family, but this law can't be popularized on a large scale yet." Nobumoto Hosokawa explained sincerely.

Why is that? I've always wanted to train a light like Rokuro, but I've been slow to correct the Fa. Ikeda Hengxing on the side said, he is usually mainly responsible for Oda Nobunaga's Shishigaru training.

"That's the case, firstly, because the subordinates recruited people from Koga and Iga, and the lord should know that the environment there is harsh and the people are fierce; The second reason is that the armaments of the subordinates are not engaged in production, and combat training is carried out all year round, which is to separate the soldiers and peasants. Hosokawa Nobumoto didn't talk nonsense and pointed out the mystery.

"Hmm~~" Oda Nobunaga frowned, his fingertips unconsciously tapping the ground, this is his unique style of falling into thought.

"The first condition, the family can not implement, one is that hiring outside the family will cause discord in the family, although the mercenaries only need to pay on time, but the long-term use of mercenaries, the ministers in the family will inevitably have no opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and their status will not be promoted for a long time, so it is absolutely not feasible. The second condition can be tried, but in this case, the number of the family's army will be greatly reduced, and it may be less than half of the original. Hey~~ What a headache. ”
