Chapter 470: Night Attack on the Enemy Camp (6)
And not just him, Watanabe Moritsuna and Hori Hidemasa, who had already led the army out of the city to respond, were really led by Mizuse Uemon, and there were reinforcements coming, and they couldn't help but be overjoyed, but just when they were ready to fight, they suddenly saw Mizuse Uemon suddenly stop, not only stopped, but also turned around and killed back, which made them feel very puzzled, but the order they received was to receive the counterpart, and the lord did not let him enter the city, so the other party has now rushed out of the city, Even if he leads the army to kill the past now, it is not considered disobeying the order. //**//
Thinking of this, he saw that the two of them glanced at each other, and then immediately gave an order and led a hundred cavalry to rush over.
Listening to the sound of "whoosh", just as Oka Kunigaka and Tanaka Katsusuke were fighting, Mizuse Uemon threw out a shuriken, and when he raised his hand, he heard Kusunoki Masatora shouting: "Be careful of hidden weapons!" ”
After hearing this, Oka Kunigaka, who was facing away from the ninja army, hurriedly lowered his body and lay on the back of the horse, and as soon as he lay down, the shuriken brushed against his helmet, and Tanaka Katsusuke was already facing Takasaki Castle, he saw that Oka Kunigaka gave up the attack in order to dodge the shuriken, so he seized the opportunity and rushed forward.
And at this moment, the distance was opened by twenty meters, and Oka Guogao couldn't help but be annoyed when he saw this, but seeing that the ninja army and cavalry had rushed over, he was alone, and if he continued to pursue, he would inevitably be encircled, so he had to wait for Takayama to advance right and Nanmu Zhenghu led the army forward to fight the enemy.
Matsunaga Xiu and Takayama Yuzhao have also led three hundred troops out of the camp at this moment, when he saw the other side's cavalry rushing over, he couldn't help frowning, although the opponent's cavalry is only more than 100, however, the three samurai under his command led the army without a formation at all, if the cavalry is allowed to break in, not only can not cause much damage to the enemy, but also the army under his command will inevitably suffer heavy losses
So I heard him hurriedly shout: "Quickly withdraw to the camp, hurry!" ”
After hearing this, the three samurai in front of them also immediately woke up, but the cavalry of the Gao Shan family was only less than two hundred meters away from them at this time, and they were in no hurry to retreat.
Mizse Uemon heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and immediately ordered: "The ninja army obeys the order, quickly flashes to both sides, surrounds the enemy, and makes way for the cavalry!" ”
Just when the ninja army was divided into two and outflanked from both sides, I saw that the cavalry had rushed into the enemy's only, only to see Watanabe Moritsuna, Hori Hidemasa in front, constantly waving the spear in his hand, killing those who were fleeing Ashigaru, fortunately, Takayama Yuteru led 300 troops to line up in front of the door to respond, and Watanabe Moritsuna and Hori Hidemasa did not dare to disobey the orders of the clan, so they did not enter the camp.
When they saw that the enemy had retreated to the camp, they had to restrain their troops in displeasure and return to Takasaki Castle with the ninja army led by Mizuse Uemon and the reinforcements led by Katsusuke Tanaka.
And in the castle tower, Isshiki Fujinaga has been watching the battle situation outside the castle from the observation deck, and not only him, but even the important ministers of the family, Isshiki Katsumasa and Akutagawa Sunjuro, were also invited by him to watch together, when he saw that hundreds of reinforcements had broken through the enemy camp and entered the castle, he couldn't help but be excited, the more the number of Takayama troops, the safer this Takazaki Castle would be.
But soon he couldn't be happy, and the head of the Ichishiki vine suddenly thought that if there were only three hundred troops of his own family, then even if the ridge city, the grain and grass in the city could last for half a month, and even if the four hundred troops led by the clan were added, it could support six or seven days, but now suddenly there were more than three hundred troops, so the grain and grass in the city could only support two or three days, if the army had no food to eat, then how could it defend the city? Thinking of this, Isshiki Fujicho couldn't help but feel a big headache.
I only heard him speak: "Now that the reinforcements of the Gaoshan army have arrived, this is a good thing, but the grain and grass in the city are not continuous, and there is the Matsunaga army outside the city blocking the door, how can this be good, do you two have any way to solve the urgent need?" ”…,
After listening to this, the two of them also realized the seriousness of the problem, if the Gaoshan army hadn't come in such a hurry, they could still be prepared, but the Gaoshan clan only notified them less than half an hour in advance, and then the Matsunaga army had already arrived, which made them how to raise grain and grass.
Moreover, the Matsunaga army outside the city has not retreated, even if he wants to go out to raise money, it is impossible, so even if the two of them try their best, they can't come up with a way.
When the three of them were feeling helpless, Akutagawa Sunjuro suddenly said: "My lord, my subordinates think that the lack of food in the city is all due to the sudden arrival of the Takayama army, and it is not the fault of my family, why don't my lords send someone to ask Takayama about their plans?" ”
After listening to this, Ichishiki Fuji Chang couldn't help but nodded, this is also a helpless way, rather than having a headache here, it is better to throw this question to the Gaoshan clan, isn't the world called Qiwei Zhang's fox, then just let him think about it, but it seems that it is a little inappropriate to send someone to ask, it seems that it is better to go there yourself.
Thinking of this, I only heard him speak: "What you said is reasonable, you two will go with me to ask for advice." ”
In the gate of Takasaki Castle, the clan saw that the reinforcements had entered the city, and hurriedly walked down the city wall to greet him, and when he saw everyone, before he could speak, he saw that Isshiki Fujicho and two retainers had come to the front, and he spoke first: "With such a military force coming to help, Takasaki Castle will be able to block the attack of the Matsunaga family." ”
"Lord Isshiki is too polite, the reason why he was able to resist the enemy's attack is because the defense of Takasaki Castle is strong, this is all the credit of Lord Isshiki, and I really dare not take credit for it."
After the clan sect finished speaking, the face of the head of the color vine did not show a happy look, but did not show his eyebrows, the clan saw this, and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, now hundreds of reinforcements have entered the city, the situation is very good, this color of the vine chief not only did not feel happy about this, but frowned, why is this low.
Thinking of this, I only heard the clan sect ask: "I don't know what difficulties Lord Isshiki has, please tell me directly." ”
Seeing that the clan opened his mouth to ask, he didn't hesitate anymore, only heard him sigh first, and then said: "Alas, Lord Takayama doesn't know, I'm afraid that the grain and grass in this Takasaki City are only enough for the army for two or three days, and after these days, I'm afraid that the food will run out, and I have been thinking about it for a long time, and I haven't come up with any solution, so I have to come to explain to Lord Takayama, and please think of a way quickly." ”
"This ······" After hearing this, the clan couldn't help but feel cold, and after the big victory, he suddenly received such news, which really made him a little difficult to accept.
However, the clan also knew the seriousness of the problem of the Dao, and if it was not solved immediately, I am afraid that in three days, the army in the city would collapse without a fight.
But this mountain city is the territory of the Miyoshi family, where can he go to get food, and even if he can raise grain and grass, how can he break through the camp of the Waisong Yongjia and enter the city safely, even the clan has no good way.
