After hearing this, Wasuka Masakatsu was overjoyed, and now the lord does not limit the number of ninjas under his command, and also allocates money to build ninjas, which is a great thing for him, but when he looked up and saw the sad Kagawa Tadaji, the original excellent mood immediately dissipated half, but fortunately Kagawa Tadaji did not say anything to dissuade him this time, otherwise, he would really have to turn his face with him.

This is not a change in Kagawa Tadaji's personality, it is entirely because the lord brought back nearly 50,000 guan of funds from Mikawa this time, plus at the end of the year, Yamada Nagamasa sent someone to send the boundary and Kyoto sparrow house, as well as the income of the Seyosu sparrow house, plus the previous accumulation, and now there are nearly 100,000 yuan of funds in the family, so he plans to make the lord happy.

Subsequently, the clan said to Maeda Toshiie: "Left, I appoint you as the castle representative of Lushan Castle, and lead the iron thorn cavalry to the town guard. ”

Maeda Toshiya hesitated for a moment, and then said: "My lord, now that Lord Yamauchi and Lord Wasuka have led their troops to leave, if they lead the army to leave again, then this county of Hachiman Castle will not be undefended, and how can the safety of the lord be guaranteed?" He couldn't help but think that as early as the day after the capture of Gujo Hachiman Castle, the lord asked Shibata and Maeda to return to Owari with reinforcements, if he left again, then this Gujo Hachiman Castle except for the lord and a few retainers, there was no soldier to defend, which made him feel at ease, although, he also wanted to go to Sagiyama Castle, but, compared to the safety of the lord, even if he wanted to go, he couldn't go, otherwise if the lord was in any danger, it would be too late to regret it.

The clan was not worried about this, first of all, he said that he was now in the honeymoon period with the wealthy families of North America, so he was not afraid of them backsliding, and if someone wanted to assassinate him, even if there were a large number of ashigaru defenses in the city, it would be useless, it would be better to send them to a place where they were needed more. Besides, although the elite under his command have been sent out, if there is really an enemy attack, can't they still use the peasants, and this is only a few years before the separation of soldiers and peasants has been implemented, and the retainers have forgotten about the mobilization of peasants and soldiers?

I only heard the clan sect speak: "You just have to go, if the enemy attacks, with the current 8,000 stone Zhixing, under the emergency mobilization, you can still recruit a few hundred foot light." Don't worry about the enemy attacking at all. I believe that with the support of hundreds of ashigaru for half a day, it can still be done. ”

Maeda Toshiya wanted to persuade him again, but before he could speak, he only heard Wasuka Masakatsu say: "The safety of the lord must not be sloppy, and Maeda-sama has a heavy responsibility, in this case, it is better to leave 80 ninjas here to protect the safety of the lord, if there is an enemy to attack, with the combat power of 80 ninjas, plus the solidity of the Gujo Hachiman Castle, let alone half a day, it is not a problem to keep it for ten days and half a month, and on weekdays, they can also protect the safety of the lord in secret." Besides, now that his subordinates are going to prepare for the establishment of ninjas, these ninjas under his command will not be useful for the time being. And ask the Lord for your permission. ”

The clan thought about it, Maeda Toshiya and Wasuka Masakatsu also had some truth, their identities are different now, and there are no enemies, if there are no elites around them, just the peasant soldiers can't command like an arm, and the elite armor rider has not yet skimmed the eight characters, and when the weapons and armor are delivered, it will take at least three months to add the time of training.

However, as soon as the clan thought of the imminent war with the Ji Xiaolu family, Wasuka Masakatsu also had to help Dushan Castle, so he couldn't leave most of the ninjas behind as he said, thinking of this, he only heard the clan said: "Well, eighty ninjas are a bit too much, just leave twenty, without further ado, you each go and carry out the order." ”…,

Hearing that the lord only left twenty ninjas, Wasuka Masakatsu hurriedly persuaded him: "Lord, isn't this a little less, it's better to leave some more." ”

"No need, the task of the ninja army at this stage is to help Dushan Castle jointly weaken the strength of the Ji Xiaolu family, if there are fewer people, it will not make a difference, and besides, the armor and weapons of the elite cavalry will be transported soon, and it won't be long before the defense of Hachiman Castle in the county will be like an iron bucket. I've made up my mind, so you don't have to persuade me anymore, just step down. ”

Seeing that the lord has made up his mind, they no longer persuade them, although only twenty ninjas are left to be responsible for the defense of Gujo Hachiman Castle, but the idle people do not want to break through in a short time, so Maeda Toshiya and Bee Suga Masakatsu are also a lot more relieved, don't look at only twenty ninjas, but with the dangerous terrain of Gujo Hachiman Castle, if the command is appropriate, it can block hundreds of enemy attacks, as long as they can hold out for more than half a day, at the speed of the iron thorn horse, Maeda Toshiya will lead the army to arrive.

Besides, this is only temporary, and after the elite cavalry led by Watanabe Moritsuna is formed, at that time, Gujo Hachiman Castle will be able to protect without worry.

After Maeda Toshiya and Wasuka Masakatsu left, the clan said again: "Kagawa Tadaji, have you prepared the hundred sets of armor, the hundred swords, and the hundred war horses I asked you to prepare half a year ago?" ”

"Back to the lord, Lord Yamada has already transported the armor, sword and funds to Owari Shimosha Castle last month, and the war horse is also temporarily fostered there, but this time he is in a hurry, and he has not brought all the things used in the fine armor ride, but only brought a set of samples for the lord to see. Please also ask the Lord to forgive your sins. ”

The clan waved his hand, and in a hurry, Kagawa Tadaji could think of bringing a set, which had proved that he was delicate, how could the clan blame him, only to hear him smile and say, "Okay, you take the sample first and let me see it." ”

After a while, I saw Kagawa Tadaji holding the armor and the sword, and walked quickly into the assessment room, the clan could only see that the armor in his hand was generally red, but compared with his own set of current equipment, the color was much darker, after all, his own set was made of modern technology, which in this era, it was very rare for the armor to have such a color, I am afraid that this alone will cost a lot.

In order to be able to see the whole picture of the armor more intuitively, the clan immediately ordered Kagawa Tadaji: "You put it on and let me see it." ”

After Kagawa Tadaji received the order of the lord, he immediately put the armor components in his two hands on his body, and Nakamura Kazushi also got up to help, and it didn't take long to see Kagawa Tadaji standing in the middle of the assessment room fully armed, and the clan was very satisfied after seeing this outfit on his body.

I saw Kagawa Tadaji wearing a red ghost head change pocket, not so much a helmet, but rather a ghost head, the ghost head was lifelike, even fine to the eyes, eyebrows, and beard. If you wear this helmet to fight the enemy, I am afraid that the enemy will already be afraid before you even fight.

Looking down, the armor is full of style for the world, and his own set of the world is very similar, in addition to the color is not as bright as his own set, the color of the throat lock and the cage hand is also different, the color of the cage hand and the throat lock he wears is black and red, the two colors are matched together, in addition to looking graceful and luxurious, there is also a trace of solemnity.

The main body of the carcass is made of all-steel, which can completely protect the vital points of the body, but the other parts are not, and the material is the leather armor inlaid with dense steel nails, which is not Yamada Nagamasa cutting corners and saving costs, but in the future, the fine armor rider will wear such armor on the body, not only the protection of the vital points is not bad at all, but also please make a lot of convenience, and it will not affect the action of the ashigaru. …,

For the flag is light, can wear such armor, enough for them to show off, you must know that many samurai who are serving as generals can't afford to buy such armor, let alone batch equipment is light, if the elite armor under his command wears such armor array, the momentum alone will make the enemy frightened, even Takeda Shingen's red bei, in terms of equipment is much inferior, in this era, I am afraid that only the rich man of the Takayama clan dares to play like this.

After looking at the armor, and then look at the sword on Kagawa Tadaji's waist, although the knife is in the sheath, but the clan found at a glance that the curvature of the blade of this knife is much larger than the normal knife, and the clan can't help but admire Yamada Nagamasa's delicate mind, the greater the arc of the sword, the more suitable it is for slashing, he has even considered this, and next time when he comes back, he must be rewarded. ，

Thinking of this, the clan suddenly thought of the iron spur horse, although its impact is very strong, but after the impact, when fighting with the enemy in close combat, the combat power has dropped by an unknown grade, this is because the iron cannon is heavy, and the gun body is wide, it is very inconvenient to wield, sometimes, before the enemy is injured, he first strained his muscles, when he wanted to combine cold and hot weapons, it is indeed a little unrealistic, it seems that there is nothing in history in the future, and he still don't try it indiscriminately.

The clan has long had the idea of changing the clothes of the iron spur cavalry, but because it has been fighting, how can there be time to think about it, now it is different, not only the time is there, but also the knowledge and action, and the most important thing is that when the clan saw this kind of arc quite large Taidao, he finally thought of a powerful cavalry, that is, the scimitar assault cavalry, the Mongolian cavalry is strong enough, but even such a powerful cavalry was defeated by the scimitar in the hands of the Mamluk cavalry, which can prove the combat power of the scimitar cavalry.

If the iron spike in the Iron Thorn Rider is replaced with a scimitar, its combat power should be improved, and the cost of the scimitar is much cheaper than the iron cannon, and the speed of building is also much faster, so it can be equipped on a large scale.

Thinking of this, the clan couldn't help but get excited, and saw that he no longer hesitated, and immediately instructed Kagawa Tadaji: "Tadaji, immediately write a letter to Yamada Nagamasa and ask him to build 200... Wait..."It occurred to him that he had seen scimitars in his business association when he was trading iron cannons with the Nanban merchants, and if he was not mistaken, it was the Damascus scimitar, and instead of creating the kind of nondescript sword himself, it was better to spend some money and buy those serious licensed goods directly from his hands. ……，
