The clan also knew that this matter could not be blamed on Yamauchi Yifeng, the other party suddenly killed two thousand troops, with only four hundred people, it was impossible to hold the city, this is not a problem of his command, but the disparity in strength is too great, so how could the clan let him cut his stomach, thinking of this, I only heard him say: "It's not your fault that you lost Yitian City, even if I personally commanded it at that time, I'm afraid the result will be the same, so you don't have to blame yourself."

"Lord...... subordinates..."

Yamauchi Yifeng wanted to say something, but the clan didn't give him a chance, only to see him wave his hand, interrupt him and say: "Seppuku is a hundred, but the more than 400 ashigaru under your command are still waiting for you to take revenge, so you can't die." Okay, let's not talk about that, let me ask you, do you know the details of this army? ”

Yamauchi Kazutoyo thought of avenging the strength of his army, and no longer mentioned the matter of seppuku, but after thinking about it seriously, he said: "My lord, my subordinates only know that this army is all built by ninjas, and it is killed from the east, and I ask the lord to decide." ”

Now the clan has recovered from the shock, but the doubts in his heart have not diminished at all, Hida country, not to mention that among the ninjas who can have two thousand ninja troops, there is not one even if it is a small scale, let alone Hida, even if it is the Takeda family, they have collected so much information, and they have not heard that the Takeda family has such a large ninja army, could it be that these two thousand ninjas fell from the sky?

After thinking for a while, he still couldn't think clearly, so he couldn't help but ask, "What are the characteristics of these ninjas?" ”

After Yamauchi Kazutoyo carefully replied, he couldn't help but shake his head with a bitter face. I only heard him say: "Back to my lord, there is no difference between these two thousand ninjas and other ninjas among them, so it is difficult to tell from what they are wearing. ”

Speaking of this, I only heard him change his words and said, "But...... The subordinates remembered that the leader of the ninja army was extremely tall, even taller than the lord. That's probably the only thing that's different. ”

As a ninja, if you grow too tall, then it's not an advantage. On the contrary, it will become a disadvantage, and there are only a handful of people in the world who can surpass the clan in height, let alone ninjas. Therefore, Yamauchi Kazutoyo has a clear record, and there will definitely be no mistakes.

And when he finished speaking, he only heard the clan and Ishikawa Goemon, who was lurking in the dark, shouting at the same time: "Wind Demon! Wind Demon Kojiro! After saying that, Ishikawa Goemon also appeared and came to the side of the clan, and from the expression on his face, it could be seen that he was very nervous now.

It's no wonder that he is like this, although he is the same as the upper forbearance, but if he really starts to do it. Don't say it's yourself, even if it's Master Wasuka Masakatsu, it's not his opponent, and in front of him, although there is no room to fight back, the final result must be a complete defeat under the opponent's hands.

Kojiro in the Wind Demon is a war ninja on the same level as Hyakji Tanba. It is the top existence in the upper ninja, and Ishikawa Goemon is not afraid of the ninja army under his command, but he is afraid of the assassination of the other party, so in a hurry, he took the initiative to show up.

And when the clan heard what Yamauchi Kazutoyo said, he immediately thought of it. This person is the wind demon Kojiro, a ninja who can have such a height, I'm afraid there is only this one in the whole world.

But what he couldn't figure out was that Haven't Wind Demon been working for the Hojo family all along, and now why did he suddenly turn around to help Takeda.

Soon he figured out the reason, Wind Demon Kotaro has been looking for an opportunity to become a leader, and Hojo Shiyasu gave him hope, but to put it bluntly, it is precisely this that he uses to use Wind Demon Kojiro, how could Takeda Shingen not find out, as long as he promised Wind Demon Kojiro, then it is still easy to fall to the Takeda family. …,

Thinking of this, the clan couldn't help but sigh secretly, what is the way out of the Takeda family, even if you become a samurai, you will always be inferior to other samurai, rather than this, it is better to be loyal to yourself, if there is a chance to fight with Kotaro in the Wind Demon, then you must open your mouth to solicit.

Now that Masuda City has been lost, it is useless to say anything, only by defeating the Takeda army in front of him first, can the city be recaptured, seeing that the four hundred ninja troops have galloped towards the southern front, the gloomy expression on the face of the clan has disappeared.

As long as these 400 ninja troops are put into the battle on the southern front, then it will not take a while to defeat the enemy army on the southern front, pointing directly at the enemy's own position, so as to achieve the final victory, even if the enemy has more than 2,000 ninja troops, as long as the Takeda army here retreats, there is no place for Hida to stand at all.

Seeing that the lord had not yet given the order, he only heard Sanada Masayuki say helplessly: "Lord, my subordinates think that now we should immediately withdraw our troops, return to Takayama Castle, and defend with the help of the city wall, if it is too late, I'm afraid... I'm afraid..."As for the consequences, Sanada Masayuki is really hard to say.

As soon as he finished speaking, he only heard Honda Masanobu sigh and said, "Alas, the matter has come to this, and in order to avoid the fiasco of the family, my subordinates support Sanada-sama's opinion. ”

Looking at the battlefield ahead, the victory had been completely tilted to his side, and the clan began to hesitate.

If you don't withdraw, then you have to gamble time with the other party, as long as you can break the enemy's own formation before the arrival of the ninja army in the wind demon, even if the enemy ninja army comes, don't worry, but once the enemy's reinforcements arrive first, the strength of the family is a dead end, and you are tantamount to gambling with your life and the name of the Takayama family, and you can't afford to make such a bet.

So when the clan thought of this, he only heard him grit his teeth and said: "Order, order all the current troops who have not participated in the battle to immediately withdraw into Gaoshan City to arrange defenses, and then order the army to engage the enemy and slowly withdraw into Gaoshan City, go quickly." ”

"My lord, the four hundred ninja troops who came to the aid of the southern front ......"

"Let them stop attacking, withdraw for me first, and set up defenses."

In order for the army to retreat smoothly into the city, the clan had to arrange for the army to go to the city first, so as not to let the enemy take the opportunity to attack the city when retreating.

As soon as the herald ninja left, he saw that the clan clan led his retainers to Takayama Castle.

"Report to the lord, the Alpine Army on the west bank has begun to retreat, and I ask the lord to decide."

"The Alpine Army withdrew? Is the information true! When he heard this report, he only heard Shan County Changjing ask excitedly, he really didn't think clearly why the other party suddenly retreated when he had an absolute advantage.

"Back to the lord, this is what his subordinates have seen with their own eyes, and there will definitely be no mistake, the enemy army on the west bank is currently moving in the direction of Gaoshan City. And the Takayama Army, which was fighting with the forces of its own army, also had the tendency to retreat. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
