Seeing that he was puzzled, the clan first informed him of the ins and outs of the retreat of the Matsunaga army, and when the Isshiki Fuji chief listened, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could pant for breath, he heard the clan speak again: "Although the Matsunaga army has retreated, but Miyoshi Yoshitsugu has sent a thousand troops to help, and my lord has marched to the mountain city, and the Miyoshi army is in a decisive battle, so it is inconvenient for the clan to stay in this city for a long time, and when I came today, I plan to say goodbye to the adults, as for ......"

Before the clan finished speaking, I heard Isshiki Fujicho hurriedly say: "Lord Takayama, the strength of the family is only three hundred, although there is Takasaki Castle to defend, but how can it block the attack of more than a thousand banners of the Miyoshi family, so please also ask Lord Takayama to help the Isshiki family get through the difficulties-"

"Lord Isshiki doesn't have to worry, if it weren't for the fact that the adults reached out to help the clan when it was in danger, and the trust in the next one was overwhelming, I am afraid that he would have been beheaded by the Matsunaga army long ago, although he was going to leave in the next, but before going to the Nagara River, he would definitely defeat the reinforcements of the Miyoshi family in the next place to repay the kindness of the adults."

After listening to the promise of the Takayama clan, Isshiki Fujicho finally put his mind at ease.

"Lord, now it is less than two miles away from the reinforcements of the Miyoshi family, I don't know how the lord will arrange it?" After leaving Takasaki Castle, the retainers saw that the lord had not arranged the next move, not only felt a little anxious, according to the lord's previous practice, I am afraid that they would still sneak attack the enemy, but seeing that they are getting closer and closer to the enemy, if they don't make arrangements, I'm afraid it will be a little late, so Watanabe Shoutsuna opened his mouth to remind.

At this time, the other retainers of the Takayama family also gathered over, waiting for the lord's order.

After listening to this, the clan did not speak directly, but looked at the military strength of the family, and only heard him ask, "How much is the military strength of the family now?" ”

Sanada Masayuki hurriedly replied: "Back to the lord, there are currently three hundred and fifty ninja troops, among the reinforcements brought by Mizuse Uemon, fifty people with outstanding ability have been replaced with the armor of the previous dead ninjas, and now the armored ninja army is still two hundred, and there is no armor, in addition, there are a total of 100 people in the scimitar cavalry and fine armor cavalry ashigaru, 80 iron cannon ashigaru, 100 heavy vine bow ashigaru, and 200 spear ashigaru under Tanaka Katsudasuke, a total of 830 people, and please decide on the lord." ”

After hearing this, the clan couldn't help but nodded, when he came out of the army from Hachiman Castle in the county, the army he led was only six hundred, and he fought behind the enemy for many days, and fought with the two thousand elites of the Matsunaga family for a few days, but the strength of the army under his command not only did not decrease, but also increased, although in terms of combat power, the current army is probably not as strong as the previous six hundred people, but if you want to defeat the Miyoshi family's thousand banners head-on, you are still absolutely sure.

In the past few days, the retainers under his command and Ashigaru have been depressed in Takasaki Castle for many days, and now it is time for them to release the anger in their hearts, and the best way to release is to defeat the enemy head-on, since entering the enemy's rear, he has not led his troops to fight the enemy head-on, so use this battle to prove to the enemy that the strength of the army will not only sneak attack, this frontal battle is not bad.

Thinking of this, I only heard the clan sect open his mouth and commanded: "In this battle, I decided to defeat the enemy army head-on here, pass the order, immediately line up, and send ninjas to investigate the movements of the surrounding cities on all sides." ”

The retainers couldn't help but be overjoyed when they heard this, although the previous sneak attack could also cause a lot of losses to the enemy, but in their opinion, it was the most enjoyable to fight the enemy head-on with real swords and guns, so when they listened to the lord's order, no one spoke to persuade them, and immediately went to prepare.

At this time, the reinforcements of the Miyoshi family were rushing to Takasaki Castle under the leadership of Nakagawa Kiyohide, because Matsunaga Shu made it clear when he sent someone to ask for help, the Takayama clan had been trapped in Takasaki Castle, so he did not send his subordinates to the front to investigate, but just buried his head in the road. …,

Because Nakagawa Kiyohide had just been defeated by the Takayama clan not long ago, Miyoshi Yoshitsuki was reluctant to let him come, but Nakagawa Kiyohide was unwilling to give up this opportunity just like this for the sake of shame, so under his strong application, Miyoshi Yoshitsugu saw that he was eager to fight, so he gave him this opportunity.

And Nakagawa Katsuhide also solemnly promised the lord that if he couldn't bring back the head of the Takayama clan this time, then he would apologize.

In his opinion, if he loses under the same person twice in a row, then he will indeed have no face to live.

Moreover, the reason why he lost last time was completely due to the ambush of the Takayama clan, if it was a frontal battle, then he didn't think that the Miyoshi family's banner was much worse than the elite of the Takayama family, even if the other party had the city as a support, but as long as he commanded properly and had the cooperation of the Matsunaga army, he still had a great deal of confidence in breaking the city.

He knew that after he led the army to Tatakasaki Castle, the Matsunaga army could not be counted on, and he had already thought very clearly about this before he left the army, so as long as Matsunaga Shu could respond from the side, he would already be satisfied......

As soon as Nakagawa Kiyohide thought of this, he only heard the retainers around him say loudly: "Look, lord." ”

After he finished speaking, Nakagawa Qingxiu's thoughts were also interrupted, only to see him stand up, look in the direction of his retainer's finger, only to see hundreds of meters away, hundreds of troops have been lined up, and when he took a closer look, he couldn't help but gasp, at the front of the large array was a hundred heavy vine bows and arrows bows and arrows to face themselves in two rows, and on both sides of it, there were dozens of iron cannons ashigaru, and behind them, there were hundreds of ninjas, and the Takayama clan was surrounded by hundreds of banner soldiers in the back of the formation set up as the main formation.

Nakagawa Kiyohide couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this, high... How did the Takayama Clan end up here? How is this possible, wasn't he besieged in Takasaki Castle by the Matsunaga Army, how could he suddenly appear here?

Nakagawa Kiyohide suddenly thought that two days ago, he heard that the Tsutsui family was attacking the place under the rule of Matsunaga Hide, could it be that Matsunaga Hide's army returned to Yamato, and he was not afraid to go back, but at least he had to say hello to himself, now it's good, the Takayama army has been arrayed, and this time the army he led is much more than the last time he fought, if he leads the army to rush now, then it will definitely be impossible to resist.

Nakagawa Qingxiu saw that the Takayama army was ready, and wanted to withdraw the army, but when he thought that he had promised the lord before setting off that he would cut off the head of the Takayama clan, otherwise he would have to cut his stomach, anyway, retreating is death, then it is better to fight, maybe he can still win, even if he fails and dies in the battle, he will not lose the dignity of a samurai, thinking of this, I saw Nakagawa Kiyohide hurriedly tie up the general and hurriedly line up.
