The clan and Sakura raised their heads in unison, and when they saw that it was a helmet, Sakura was a little unhappy in her heart, how could she use a helmet as a horse seal, isn't this equivalent to picking up her husband's head, it's too unlucky.

Just when Sakura wanted to blame Matsurumaru, he was stopped by the clan, only to see him staring intently at the helmet inlaid with a horse rush, thinking seriously, and soon had a belly case.

I only heard the clan smile and asked Matsurumaru, "What do you think this helmet looks like?" ”

Matsurumaru tilted his head and looked at the helmet curiously, and after a while, he spoke: "Father, this helmet is like a peacock with only an open screen, yes, it looks like a peacock." After speaking, he looked at the clan with those big bright eyes, waiting for his father's praise.

After hearing this, Ha Lu Ha Da Lu smiled and said: "That's right, it's a peacock, and the family crest of the family is set to be a golden peacock." ”

Since the decision had already been made, the clan did not delay in the slightest, and immediately ordered Maeda Keiji and the Beesuka-hiko Uemon, who had already arrived here to serve as a close attendant, to recruit craftsmen to the castle town, and because the style of the horse seal required by the clan was complicated, it was a full seven days before the finished product appeared in front of the clan.

This horse seal is all made of gold, the style is the peacock of the open screen, and the most characteristic is the tail feathers of the peacock, the skeleton is full of gold judgments, look at it, there are hundreds of pieces, if it is on the battlefield, there are retainers or banners to make meritorious contributions, just grab a handful as a reward, not only extremely convenient, and, most importantly, if you do this, it is easier to improve the morale of the soldiers under your command.

Not only is the clan extremely satisfied with this golden peacock horse seal, but even the retainers feel very fond of it after seeing it, if you hold such a horse seal and go to the battlefield, it is enough to show the wealth and prestige of the lord, not to mention the samurai with the same identity as the lord, even if it is a daimyo with hundreds of thousands of stone land, he may not dare to play like this, which requires not only money, but also courage.

In the blink of an eye, the rainy season had passed, and Oda Nobunaga didn't want to wait any longer, so he issued a mobilization order, and sent his close attendants to each house to inform, and as last time, ordered his retainers and the wealthy clans in the territory to lead the men and horses to Komakiyama Castle to converge and launch a general attack on Inabayama Castle within three days.

Since Hachiman Castle, the prefecture where the clan was located, was the farthest away from Komakiyama Castle, it was not until noon the day after Nobunaga issued the order that the clan received this mobilization order.

Now if you send someone to Mitsuyama Castle to inform Yamauchi Kazutoyo that he is coming with a childish sword ashigaru, it is obviously too late, Nobunaga's character, the clan knows it very well, and a major event like attacking Inabayama Castle, if he is late, it is not a joke.

Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, the clan decided to set off immediately, fortunately, there were 100 elite armored cavalry and 100 iron cannon ashigaru in Hachiman Castle in the gun, and there were no enemies around anyway, so the clan decided to leave 50 iron cannon ashigaru to guard the city, and the other 50 were to replace the Maeda Toshiya and the 200 scimitar cavalry under his command when passing by Sagiyama Castle.

It has to be said that the speed of the cavalry was more than twice as fast as the speed of the infantry, and in the early morning of the third day after receiving the order, the clan, Watanabe Moritsuna, Maeda Toshiie, and three hundred cavalrymen had already arrived at Komakiyama Castle, which was already overcrowded at this time.

When the samurai of the Oda family saw the three hundred cavalry brought by the clan, they all showed envy, especially those new retainers of the Oda family, and now they finally understood why the Takayama clan always made great contributions in the joint battle, and if the equipment under his command was compared with others, it was simply called the Hanako Army, and everyone also found that the clan and its troops no longer used the Oda family's papaya pattern as a family crest. …,

I saw that the helmets of the three hundred cavalrymen were all inlaid with golden mountain patterns, if you didn't look carefully, you would think that they used the golden sun as a helmet, in addition, the middle of the cavalry's armor, and the flag behind them were also tattooed, and this is not the most attractive, the most eye-catching, is the horse print that is held high.

This golden peacock horse seal, so that many of the samurai who saw it couldn't help but gasp, just in the value of the horse seal, you can replace hundreds of ashigaru with relatively good equipment, even if you are rich in the Takayama clan, but you don't have such a show, in the hearts of the retainers of the Oda family, in addition to jealousy, there is more envy of the Takayama clan.

And the clan has long been accustomed to the envy and jealousy of others, so he behaved very calmly, after arranging his subordinates and chatting with the familiar samurai, the clan led the samurai who went out with him back to his own small samurai mansion, waiting for Nobunaga's order to go out of battle.

On the morning of the same day, after the last few samurai led the ashigaru to Komaki Mountain Castle, the lineup of Inabayama Castle this time was basically completed, although there were still a few small wealthy clans far away from the city who could not arrive in time, but with their dozens of ashigaru, it didn't matter whether they appeared or not.

Although there was still half a day before the agreed time, Oda Nobunaga was not very patient, and now that he saw that the people had almost arrived, he didn't want to wait any longer, so he immediately summoned the retainers above the rank of general under his command to the assessment room, and prepared to hold the last military meeting before going out.

Komakiyama Castle is not big in the first place, and this assessment room is even smaller and pitiful, although only retainers and wealthy families with the status of generals can enter, but, even so, the assessment room is still a little crowded.

Nobunaga sat on the throne and glanced at the retainers sitting below before he spoke, "At present, all the obstacles in front of Inabayama Castle have been cleared, and the Saito family is only left with the lonely city of Inabayama Castle, so... This time, we must only succeed, not fail, and we must capture Inabayama Castle. ”

"My lord, please rest assured, my subordinates will swear to move forward and attack Inabayama Castle in one fell swoop."

The scene was very satisfied with the attitude of the retainers, and after nodding their heads, one of them said: "Inform me, the retainers who are less than two hundred feet light will be incorporated into the main camp and set off" After speaking, Oda Nobunaga stood up, slightly adjusted the armor he was wearing, and walked towards the assessment room. The entire military discussion, from the beginning to the end, took less than half a column of incense.
