Chapter 195 led the army out

Asai Nagamasa just asked him about his plan, but he didn't want the clan to retreat from the enemy in person, after all, if this is the case, it's okay to say that he failed, but if he succeeds, then what face does the Asai family have. In this family, so many retainers have no way to deal with it, and as soon as his Gaoshan clan comes, he can easily retreat from the enemy, so that the people of this family have become waste at the beginning?

However, when he heard that the clan did not do it alone, but needed the assistance of his own family, he relaxed, as long as there was his own family to contribute, it would be no big deal, everyone in the world knew that the Takayama clan was outstanding, even if the family used its strategy to retreat from the enemy, there was nothing wrong with it.

Although he saw that the Takayama clan had already made a bamboo in his chest, but Asai Nagamasa didn't want him to go now, Nakasaka Hidekatsu has now returned to Kotani Castle to mobilize Ashigaru, if he has a good time, then this time not only can he defeat Rokkaku Yoshiji, but also take advantage of the situation to take his castle, so it is a wonderful plan.

Thinking of this, I only heard Asai Nagamasa speak: "Lord Takayama, this plan is very much in line with my wishes, but, first, the adults have worked hard from afar, and second, Nagamasa still needs to send people to find out if his grain and grass can be in the Aragami Mountain Castle, and the third is that the reinforcements of the family will arrive soon, if the reinforcements can attack the Hexagonal Army when the adults succeed, they will definitely lose a lot, so I also ask the adults to rest in the Sawa Mountain Castle for two days, and after the Nagamasa is ready, then hand over the military power to the adults, I don't know what Takayama-sama thinks?" ”

"Since that's the case, then the clan will bother." After the clan said respectfully, Asai Nagamasa saw that the retainers had nothing to say, and randomly announced the dissolution of the meeting, turned around and walked into the inner room.

Two days later, Rokkaku Yoshiharu saw that under the onslaught of more than 6,000 troops under his command, he had not yet captured Sawa Mountain Castle, and he couldn't help but be furious, and after scolding the samurai who went out with the army, he personally supervised the battle outside the city, and ordered the vassal Hao clan to lead the army to help the battle.

"Lord Takayama, my lord asks you to go to the assessment room immediately to discuss the matter, and please come with me." A close attendant from Asai Nagamasa's side walked quickly to the samurai mansion where the Takayama clan was located and said loudly.

The clan had been waiting a little impatiently, and when he heard Asai Nagamasa's offer, he hurriedly followed the attendant to the assessment room.

After everyone sat down, I only heard Asai Nagamasa say with a pleasant face: "I've been slacking off these days, and I ask Takayama-sama not to be surprised." ”

"The Asai Hall doesn't have to be polite, now that the two families have formed an alliance, the clan should have contributed, if the hall has orders, please hand it over indirectly." The clan turned the topic back to the main topic, and if he continued to be polite, he didn't know when.

"Okay, so there is Lord Lao Gaoshan, now I have found out that the place where the Hexagon family sent out the army this time is in the Aragami Mountain City, and the city lord Hexagonal Yixian led a thousand foot light to guard in this city, I don't know how many military horses Lord Gao Shan needs, can this be done?"

The clan has not been idle for the past two days, and at the same time that Asai Nagamasa sent people to inquire about the news, he also sent Ishikawa Goemon to check the city, and also learned that Rokkaku Yoshiken will send two hundred troops to transport the day's grain and grass to the Rokkaku Yoshiji big tent every day, although in these few hours, there are only eight hundred ashigaru in the city to defend, but for the Aragami Mountain Castle that is not too big, it is enough, with such a defense, it is not easy to succeed, it seems that some defenders need to be transferred out.

Thinking of this, the clan sect already had a plan in his heart, so he only heard him speak: "Go back to the main hall, and please send three hundred troops to assist, and promise that it will succeed within three days." ”

After the clan finished speaking, his eyes swept to the retainers of the Asai family, although half of them did not say anything to dissuade the lord, but they could see the disdain on their faces, and they knew that they were all opposition parties who did not want to form an alliance with the Oda family, and their attitude towards the clan was not good, which was understandable.

In addition to these people, there are also a small number of Chong clan sects nodding and smiling, these are basically pro-weaving factions, of course, including some warriors from the city government who are quite deep in the city, and there are a few people in the back, their eyes are erratic, their faces are hesitant, these people should belong to neutrality.

After seeing the attitude of the retainers of the Asai family, the clan couldn't help but think that in this battle, he must do a good job, only in this way can he win those neutral samurai to the side of the Oda family, so that the pro-weaving faction of the Asai family will exceed half of the total, and in the future, if there is another rebellion against the Oda family, even if the people who support and oppose are equal, Asai Nagamasa will not be able to take action. ,

Asai Nagamasa said without hesitation: "Ren Watanabe"

Watanabe Renno is a retainer from Asai Nagamasa's close servant.,So there's absolutely no problem in loyalty.,Because he's just been turned into a retainer not long ago.,So his status is still very low.,It's just a foot light general.。 However, it is precisely because of his low status that Asai Nagamasa plans to promote him.

Asai Nagamasa is now constantly promoting absolutely loyal retainers, in order to fight against the powerful and wealthy families in the house when they grow up, and regain the dominance of the family.

"The subordinates are here, please give instructions to the lord." After sitting in the assessment room, Watanabe Ren listened to the lord and pointed out his name, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, if the Takayama clan can really make a contribution, he will go to the army with him is also a great achievement, the lord is clearly promoting himself, and he must be loyal to the lord in the future, and they all say that this Takayama clan left, this time he also wants to see his true ability, if his ability is really as rumored, then don't follow those retainers who oppose the alliance between the two families in the future.

I only listened to Asai Nagamasa's instructions: "I ordered you to command the three hundred banners to help Takayama Lord, after leaving the army, everything will be subject to Takayama's arrangement, there must be no mistakes, can you hear clearly?" ”

"It is the lord, and his subordinates will not bear the trust of the lord alone."

Seeing that Asai Nagamasa had already made arrangements, the clan immediately spoke: "If there is no more instructions from the Asai Palace, then I will start acting now, so as not to have too many dreams at night." ”

"Then I'll wait in this city for the good news from the adults."

In the blink of an eye, more than half a day had passed, and now it was late at night, and taking advantage of the night, the clan and Watanabe Ren had already led three hundred banners to sneak out of the mountain castle of Sawa and go straight to the west. In a wooded area between Mekada Town and Aragami Mountain Castle, this is where the Asai army is ambushed, and the path in front of them is the only way for the enemy to transport food.

After the army was ambushed again, Watanabe Ren couldn't help frowning quietly, before the Takayama clan and the lord said that they would burn all their grain and grass within three days, but now looking at the meaning of Takayama Lord, it is to attack the small lotus pack troops of the Roxagonal family, but even if it succeeds, it can only destroy its food for a day, which has no effect on the current war situation, if it is based on this, the record of this Takayama clan is probably exaggerated.

Watanabe Ren thought that if this matter had nothing to do with him, he didn't bother to calculate, but this time the battle was linked to his own merits, if the Takayama clan could not succeed, how could he get the credit, he could be promoted by this battle, so it was impossible not to be in a hurry.

Thinking of this, he only heard Watanabe Ren speak: "Lord Takayama, this place is still five miles away from Aragami Sansei, if you are holding up troops here, why do you burn the grain and grass in the city?" ”

The clan sect didn't want to hide it, but seeing that he was anxious, he couldn't help but say: "Since Lord Watanabe opened his mouth to inquire, then the clan sect will talk to the lord about the battle strategy this time." ”

After Watanabe listened to the meaning of the clan's words, he still wanted to destroy the grain and grass in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel a big decision, and his tone of voice became much calmer, only to hear him ask: "Since Lord Takayama has a clever plan in his chest, then he can rest assured, but please also make your plan clear, and you can be prepared in the future." ”

Clan Zong nodded, and said lightly: "As far as the clan knows, this Aragami Mountain City is not big, but there are 1,000 Ashigaru defending here, if it is an indirect sneak attack on the city, I'm afraid the odds of victory are not great, so I and the adults set up an ambush here, attacking its small lotus troops, with the character of the hexagonal Yoshixian, after learning that the small lotus army was attacked, it will inevitably be dispatched to the city Ashigaru to come to support, in this way, there will be loopholes in the defense of the Aragami Mountain Castle, and it is not difficult to take this opportunity to burn its grain and grass, I don't know what Watanabe-sama thinks of this?" ”

After the clan finished speaking, his eyes moved to Ren Watanabe, waiting for his answer.

Watanabe Ren is not a brainless person, after listening to the plan of the Takayama clan, he did not rush to speak, but pondered for a moment before he said with a worried face: "Lord Takayama, I have two thoughts about this strategy you proposed, and I would like to ask your lord to solve your doubts." ”

"Watanabe-sama, don't be polite, if you have something to say, please tell me in person."

I only heard Watanabe Ren ask straight to the point: "First, why is Takayama so sure that Rokkaku Yoshiken will definitely send troops to help, and second, Lord Takayama will leave all the generals here, even if he sends troops to help, then who should be sent to the Aragami Mountain Castle to burn the enemy's grain and grass?" ”

I saw the clan smile quietly, these two questions were not a problem at all in his opinion, and he just heard him speak: "Don't worry, Lord Watanabe, although the clan has not been to Minami Omi, but I have heard it for a long time, that Rokkaku Yoshixian can't listen to the words of other retainers in the family at all, although he is no longer the governor of the family, but this problem of arbitrariness and dictatorship is not so easy to change, coupled with its limited ability, if he knows that the little lotus pack has been robbed, how can he sit idly by, and the reason why I only came with three hundred troops is also to strengthen his rescue heart, If there are too many troops, they dare not come, if the army is too small, it is difficult to succeed, so the strength of the three hundred troops is just right, so that there are more than one hundred of the small lotus army, if they do not come to the rescue, the grain and grass transported will be difficult to keep, if they go out to the rescue, they can get victory, how can their character stand by and watch?

As for how to burn the grain and grass in the city, the adults don't have to worry, this time the clan sect came to Kita Omi to bring a total of more than ten ninjas, and now they have been ambushed in the Aragami Mountain City, just wait for the enemy army to leave the city, they will set fire to the grain, I wonder if the adults can still have doubts about the clan sect's strategy? ”。
