And Akai Jiao also hurriedly borrowed the sword from Keer Caizang outside the door, and was always ready behind him, after the two did all this, their eyes were paired, and when Blade Kyoye held the rib difference in Hideji's hand of Hatano and pushed it to the abdomen, Akai Naomasa swung the knife hard......

Since Yagami Castle Ninomaru was burned and the castle needed to be repaired after nearly a month of attack, Sakuma Nobumori did not stay in the castle too much, but temporarily retreated to Tanba Kameyama Castle to station.

In the battle of Yagami Castle, although the Sakuma army suffered considerable losses, but after gathering the strength of the Hatano army, the strength not only did not decrease, but increased a lot, and what is even more exciting is that because those wealthy clans except for Ogino Naomasa, the rest have been slaughtered by the Hatano family, so it has become easier to seize the land under their rule, and in less than a month, under the sweep of the Sakuma, Takayama, and Wakasa armies, the country of Tanba has been completely controlled by Sakuma Nobumori.

A month later, Yagami Castle has also been repaired under the day and night work of the accompanying craftsmen, in addition, because Sakuma Nobumori has decided to make this castle a residence, so he spends a lot of money, and now looking at Yagami Castle, not only the stone wall is tall, but the sword on the edge of the wall is even more cold and shining, if you want to use equipment to attack the city at this moment, it will definitely not be like that day, a sword is enough to block the ashigaru on the cloud ladder from the city wall.

At the same time that the flames of the Tanba war were ignited, the Tango country was also not at peace, and the 1,000 ninja army led by Yokoya Yukishige had already launched an attack on Tango before the Tamba war, because Isshiki Yoshimichi did not know that he was also within the range of the Oda family's attack. Neglect of preparation. Therefore, the Takayama family ninja army is using the tactic of stealing the city. Gazo is almost out of control, and that's not all, because its home city Miyazu Castle is close to Gazo County, so it is under constant threat.

Moreover, due to the enemy's silent offensive, after receiving the news, it was already a little late to mobilize the ashigaru, and the Ichishiki family was relatively conservative and did not carry out the separation of soldiers and peasants. Therefore, at this moment, the central banner of Miyazu Castle is no more than a thousand people, and if you want to mobilize the peasants, it will take at least half a month, but no one can guarantee that the enemy will not attack in half a month.

At this moment, the evaluation room of Miyazu Castle was unusually quiet, and no one dared to say anything, for fear that the Isshiki family would perish because of his own suggestion, and such a sin could not be borne by himself.

Isshiki Yoshido asked three times in a row, but no one from the retainers answered, which made him, who had always been kind, a little angry.

When the fourth question is asked. When no one has responded, Isshiki Yoshido knows how to ask again. I'm afraid it's hard to get any useful strategies from the retainers, so I directly named him: "Inatomi Naohide, tell me how the family should be good now.!" ”

After hearing that the lord pointed to him, Inafu Naohide couldn't help but feel nervous, but since the lord was named, he couldn't help but say it, so he could only say it stubbornly: "Lord, now it has been found out that the enemy army that invaded Dango is the Takayama family ninja army, and the elite of the Takayama family ninja army is famous all over the world, although the number is not large, but the family is also unprepared, if the war starts now, then I am afraid it will be difficult to block the enemy's attack, so my subordinates think... As... Return to the Oda family, so that the name of the family can be guaranteed, and please ask the lord to decide. ”

Isshiki Yoshido was not happy in his heart, but now he heard that the retainers he had always relied on persuaded him to surrender, so his anger immediately burned, and he only heard him say angrily: "Bastard, this family is one of the four famous families, and the Oda family is just a Persian rebel, and then it is even more rebellious and rebellious, if this family is obedient, it will not be ridiculed by the world, so I have decided to fight with it, even if the Isshiki family is destroyed, I must protect my name, and never compromise with the rebel ministers and thieves." ”

"Yes, it's his subordinate Meng Lang, and I ask the lord to punish him." Inafu Naohide hurriedly said, but although he was scolded by the lord, but at the moment he was relaxed in his heart, and now as long as he doesn't let himself come up with ideas, it's better than anything.

Sure enough, Isshiki Yoshido was not embarrassed by him, and asked Numata Kiyonobu, another important minister in the family, "What do you think?" ”

Numata Kiyogen is much more relaxed than Naohide Inatomi at the moment, after all, the lord has now set the tone, that is, he will never compromise, so it will be easier to do.

So after thinking about it for a while, he said: "My lord, my subordinates think that what my family is facing is not the ninja army of the Takayama family, but the Sakuma and Takayama coalition forces that are attacking Tanba at the moment, according to the information that the subordinates have received, at the Oda family's year-end assessment meeting, the rebel Oda Nobunaga reformed his military situation into a corps system, and the target of Sakuma Nobumori's strategy is Tanba and Tango, but the only thing to be thankful for is that the subordinates heard that Sakuma, the Takayama coalition army was frustrated in Tanba, and not only suffered heavy losses, And still not able to capture the Eight Castles, so according to the conjecture of the subordinates, it will soon retreat, as long as the main force of Tanba retreats, then the Takayama family ninja army in the territory, it is meaningless to stay in Danhou, so it will soon retreat, even if it does not retreat, with such a small military strength, it is impossible to do what the family will do, so that although the family seems to be dangerous now, but in fact it is weak Mount Tai, this is the opinion of the subordinates, and please decide. ”

After this analysis, not only was Ichishiki Yoshido said that his mood was much smoother, even if it was the other retainers present, it was true that as long as it couldn't capture Yashang City, then the family was not in danger of perishing, and the family was just negligent in taking precautions before, so it was caught off guard by the Takayama family ninja army, and now that the family has taken measures, it is not so easy for it to sneak attack the city again, once it can't make a contribution, I'm afraid it will soon retreat.

"There is some truth in this, but now that the Takayama family army is on the side, it has to be guarded, and the safety of Miyazu Castle is handed over to you, and just in case, I decided to mobilize the army immediately, once the enemy army comes to attack, then the family has no possibility of retreating."

Speaking of this, I saw Isshiki Yoshido glance down, and then said: "Where is Inatomi Naoxiu!" ”

"The subordinates are here, please give instructions to the lord."

"I appoint you as the commander of the garrison of the city, and I am fully responsible for the defense of the city against the enemy. Although the ability of Isshiki Yoshido is not very strong, but he never shies away from his shortcomings, so once he encounters something he is not good at, he will assign a retainer who is good at this way to complete, and in the Isshiki family, Inatomi Naohide is definitely both civil and military, and most importantly, although his eldest son Inatomi Yuzhi is young, but his intelligence is even better than his father, and now he is in control of the family's iron artillery team, so that his father and son lead eight hundred spears to the light, and two hundred iron artillery team to repel the Takayama family of a thousand ninja army should not be a problem, Even if you can't retreat, as long as you can hold out for a few days, then after your own army is mobilized, the enemy will have no chance of capturing the city.

"Yes, please rest assured, my subordinates will live up to their trust." Inatomi Naohide knew that the lord was afraid that he would arrange it like this, so he was not surprised and said directly.

"Numata Kiyonobe, you immediately go to the territory to mobilize the army, I will give you five days, and in five days I will see three thousand troops in the city."

"It's the lord, and my subordinates will do it immediately."

After the meeting, it was not mentioned that Numata Kiyonobu went out to mobilize the army, but only said that Naohide Inatomi was preparing in the city, and now there are only 1,000 troops in the city, and there are 1,000 enemies, and although Miyazu Castle is not a giant city, the scale is not small, and it is not a simple matter to hold the city with a thousand people.

After studying for a long time, he had to admit that it was impossible to take into account all the points with a thousand troops in his hand, especially if the other party was still a ninja army, and the sneak attack on the city was even more unguardable, even if all the important positions were arranged, but it was too weak, as long as the enemy concentrated his troops to attack a little, then I am afraid that the reinforcements in the city have not yet arrived, and the right person has already attacked the city, as long as he enters the city, then Miyazu City will never be able to hold it, after all, Inatomi Hidenao is still self-aware, Once directly faced with the elite of the Takayama family, then the Isshiki family has no chance of winning.

Just when Inatomi Naohide felt a headache, his son Inatomi Youzhi walked in, because Inatomi Youzhi commanded the iron artillery team of the Isshiki family, so of course he was also eligible to participate in the military conference, so at this moment, of course, he also knew why his father was worried.

"Father, are you still irritated by resisting the attack of the Takayama family's ninja army?" After coming closer, I saw Inafuyou bow straight and asked.

Seeing that it was his most valued son who came, Inatomi Naohide did not hide it, and said directly: "That's right, the strength of the family is a thousand, and the enemy's army is also a thousand, the family has a city to follow, but the enemy is good at stealing the city, and it should have been evenly matched, but the problem now is that there are too many places for the family to defend, and they don't know where the enemy is attacking from, if the troops are divided, they will definitely not be able to resist, but if they don't divide the troops, once the enemy does not choose to attack here, then the city will be dangerous, It's because of this that my father has a headache, I wonder what my son thinks? ”

Inafu Youzhi came to offer advice to his father this time, so as soon as his father finished speaking, he heard him speak: "Father, if you follow your method, let alone a thousand people, I'm afraid that even if it is doubled, it will be impossible to hold all the key places, so instead of being upset here, it is better to send more people to listen to the enemy's military situation, as long as you grasp the enemy's movements, then it will be easy to do." ”

"What's the use of intelligence alone, even if you can grasp the enemy's every move, you can't stop the enemy from attacking the city, and it's a little late to arrange it after the enemy has moved, after all, the enemy's place is not too far from here." (To be continued.) )
