Chapter 152: Difficult to Decide

Seeing that the Hao clan alliance army could not hold out for long, Endo Morishu did not dare to hesitate any longer, only to see him quickly stand up and say loudly to several retainers behind him and the remaining eight hundred ashigaru: "Whether your family can continue to survive depends on this battle, whoever seeks the Takayama clan clan, Ashigaru is directly promoted to samurai, and the samurai is promoted to the status and obtains 800 stone from Dushan Castle as Zhixing, in addition, anyone who asks for the enemy samurai will be rewarded with fifty kan." Out of ......"

Before the word in Endo Shengshu's mouth could be spoken, he suddenly seemed to think of something again, only to see Endo Shengshu put down the sword that had been raised high, slowly put it down, turned his head, and looked in the direction of the battlefield, when he saw that the Takayama Army on the battlefield was really the same as what he thought in his heart, he suddenly found that the situation seemed to be a little bad.

I saw on the battlefield, the back flag of the enemy's Ashigaru, except for the fifty or so Ashigaru who held a childish knife in his hand, carried the papaya pattern of the Oda family, and the rest except for the plum bowl pattern is the gold pattern of the two geese, because the clan did not pay much attention to the family crest, so he could only let his subordinates carry the blue papaya pattern flag on a white background, according to his identity, he could have used his own family crest a long time ago, but he fought outside all the year round, and even the retainers left this matter behind.

Endo Morishu saw that the most elite iron thorn cavalry and ninja army under the command of the Takayama clan were not on the battlefield, and couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, this time the Takayama clan clan came to rob his own county Hachiman Castle, it is impossible to rely only on reinforcements, and not bring the direct flag book, there must be fraud in this, could it be that he saw through his own strategy, and also ambushed the elite, waiting for the opportunity to carry out a sneak attack?

Endo Morishu subconsciously looked around, but didn't find anything unusual at all. Just when Endo was thinking about it, the samurai under his command saw that the lord had not issued the order for a long time, and he had begun to wait a little, only to hear one of the samurai wearing a red belly roll say loudly: "Lord, look, the middle formation of the Hao clan alliance is about to be unable to hold on, if the lord does not send an army to sneak attack, then the Hao clan alliance army will all collapse immediately, and please make a decision as soon as possible." ”

In Endo's stunned effort, the Takayama Army had already defeated all the first three formations of the Hao Clan's coalition army, and the middle formation of them could not hold out for long.

The clan was not surprised by the progress of such an attack, after all, even if the Shibata Army and the Maeda Army did not have the elite troops under their command, it was still more than enough to deal with the peasant soldiers in front of them who had just put down their hoes and picked up their weapons. The difference in the number of the enemy and the enemy is not too outrageous, and if the battle cannot be resolved quickly, then there is no need to do any more separating soldiers and peasants and sword hunting orders.

The clan didn't pay much attention to the rush on the battlefield, he was waiting for the appearance of the army under Endo Morishu at the moment, he didn't believe anything, Endo Morishu encountered such a big event, and he dared to nest in the county of Hachiman Castle.

Just when the Takayama Army defeated the enemy's first three formations and fought with the middle formation of the Hao Clan Alliance, the clan saw that the enemy army in front of him had no power to fight back, and it was a matter of time before he saw that he was defeated, so he directly transferred back the one hundred and fifty Maeda family banners led by Murai Chohachiro and asked them to be on alert, and at this time, the rise of Murai Chohachiro was killing, and he did not retreat with the army, but continued to lead several banners to fight with the enemy in front.

The clan is a little puzzled now, he doesn't know what Endo Morishu is waiting for, if he leads the army to kill now, together with the Hao clan alliance, he can still form a flanking attack on himself, if he doesn't come out again, then he can only collect the corpses of these Hao warriors.

Thinking of this, the clan turned his head and saw Honda Masanobu with a calm face looking at the mountain army in front of him and constantly rushing and killing, and couldn't help asking: "Masanobu, that Endo Morishu has not led the army to kill, can Masanobu think about what he means?" ”。 …,

Honda Masanobu saw the lord's question, and immediately took his gaze back, only to hear him say respectfully: "Back to the lord, his subordinates think that Endo Shengshu also has some talent, and he has not yet sent out the army at this time, I am afraid it is not that he can calm down, but because he sees that his family is fighting for reinforcements on the battlefield, and the direct army is nowhere to be found, so he will not move, at this time, he should be thinking hard about where the army of his family will be." After saying that, Honda Masanobu smiled slightly.

The clan thought about it, what Honda Masatin said was reasonable, since Wasuka Masakatsu did not lead the army back, it means that Endo Morishu is indeed ambushed around here, whether he moves or not, it is better not to come out, and after Lao Tzu cleans up the group of wealthy warriors in front of him, he will come to eliminate you, the clown.

Thinking of this, the clan also began to relax, and no longer worried about the enemy's ambush. However, when he saw that the attack of the army in front of him was not as sharp as it was at the beginning, he couldn't help shouting to Ashiko: "Victory is at hand, after defeating the enemy army, each person will be rewarded with two pieces of money, and killed."

As soon as the words fell, his own side, whether it was his own army, Shibata, or Maeda's reinforcements, all had a great boost in morale, and the movements in their hands were also a little faster, and their combat power also returned to the level at the beginning of the battle.

Keiji Maeda, who has been following the clan's side, can also see that this joint battle will end in a short time, and he can't help but become more anxious, if he doesn't fight, then he will be useless in this battle.

Thinking of this, I only heard Maeda Keiji couldn't help but say eagerly: "Lord, the spear in the hands of your subordinates has not eaten since the beginning of the joint battle, so your lord, let your subordinates go forward and fight, otherwise even if your subordinates can bear it, the spear in your hand can't help it." ”

Before the clan clan could speak, he only heard Honda Masanobu with a straight face, and took the lead in speaking: "If you come forward to fight, then who will protect the safety of the lord, is it the safety of the lord that is important, or is it important to satisfy your desires?" Don't shut up yet."

As Honda Masashinobu Ashigaru General and Military Advisor, he wants to reprimand a close attendant, but others really can't say anything, even so, but few people dare to do this like him, after all, even if the status of the close attendant is not high, but he is a person trusted by the lord, in case they are bad in front of the lord, the impact on themselves is still huge.

But Honda Masanshin is not afraid, because he knows very well that the Takayama clan is not a mediocre lord, as long as he does not make a mistake, he is not afraid of someone making a small report in front of the lord, besides, in this era, there are still a few people who can surpass him in wisdom, even if someone frames him, he has the confidence to turn the danger into a disaster, and make the opponent ruined.

Maeda Keiji secretly said in his heart, after Young Master Ben stepped forward to kill the enemy, wouldn't you still be by the lord's side? Young Master Ben didn't let you learn martial arts, you have no power to restrain the chicken, who is to blame. This lord is really, how could he recruit such a waste as a retainer, is it great to usually use his brains?

However, although Maeda Keiji was indignant in his heart, he did not dare to speak up. Although he is a little self-righteous, but he is not a fool, this Ben Duo Zheng Xin said this in front of the lord, if he contradicts it, he will inevitably be scolded by the lord, and even the fourth uncle and other retainers in the family are polite to this Ben Duo Zheng Xin, such a person, how can he be provoked by a small servant?

Keiji Maeda glared viciously at Honda Masanobu, who was gently shaking the military fan, as a tribute. But Honda Masanobu didn't care about this and still smiled at him.

At this moment, Endo Morishu, who was still in ambush behind the mountain, saw that the three formations of the Hao Clan Coalition Army had been broken through by the Takayama Army for a while, and the other two formations were no longer stable. …,

And the Takayama clan, who did not have much loss, would lead the army directly to Hachiman Castle in the county, even if he did not lose anything in this battle, and there was a castle to defend, he would never be able to resist the full attack of the morale-like Takayama army.

Thinking of this, Endo Morishu no longer hesitated, stood up again, drew his sword, pointed to the battlefield in front, and said loudly: "All listen to the order, target the Takayama Army, enter the ...... Ah not good" is the same as last time, he hasn't said the last word yet, only to hear Endo Morishu shout that it's not good, he finally understands now, the Takayama army is so elite, how can it still use what kind of ambush, now he can be 100% sure that the banner under the command of the Takayama clan has already taken advantage of his absence in the city to attack Hachiman Castle in the gun.

Before he figured out the movements of the army directly under the Takayama Clan, he couldn't help but feel a little proud, although the Takayama Army was elite, but the Takayama Clan Sect was not as rumored to be, with outstanding wisdom and no last resort, didn't he still fall into his own strategy in the end, but now, Endo Morishu only knew that the nickname of Owari no Fox was really not something that anyone dared to use.

At this moment, Endo Shengshu, who was not far from the battlefield, only felt a chill on his back and cramps in his legs, how could he dare to be half proud, before he went out of the army, he didn't expect that the Takayama clan would have such a big courage to dare to divide the troops on the territory of the Saito family, so he was relieved to boldly pull out eight hundred troops, intending to ambush the Takayama clan, but who would have thought that the Takayama clan not only really did this, but also sent the two most elite armies under his command out, where did he get the confidence, knowing that this battle would be completely defeated by the North American Nonghao clan coalition?

However, when Endo Morishu saw the one-sided battle situation on the battlefield, he finally knew where the confidence of the Takayama clan came from, in Endo Morishu's view, whether it was the Takayama Army, Shibata, or Maeda Army, all of them were elites, and how could such an elite army be those peasant soldiers under the command of various wealthy families, and it was not only them, but even the hundred banners that he had always been proud of, compared with the Shibata Army or the Maeda Army, the combat power was far inferior to the other party. ……,
