Chapter 438: Confusing
After all, there were only 100 elite cavalry, and the enemy was very scattered, so it was impossible to keep all the enemies, so although Watanabe Moritsuna commanded the army to rush over, it did not cause much casualties to the enemy. [Literature]
Seeing that most of the enemy had fled into the woods, the clan did not order to pursue, and this time the movement was big enough, I am afraid that it will not be long before the reinforcements from the enemy's various cities will arrive, so it is really not suitable to stay here for a long time.
And not only that, I'm afraid that since this battle, the enemy here will inevitably stand out, although it is still not much of a problem to attack some small cities with the strength of the army under his command, but it has not been able to mobilize the three good armies, even if those small cities are broken, there is no point, so the clan decided not to continue to stay in Hanoi, but where to go now, the clan has not yet thought about it, after all, whether it is the remaining two three good armies, or the other two cities can be targeted.
Thinking of this, he only heard the clan sect ask, "Gengoro, where do you think the next attack of the family's army should be?" ”
Sanada Masayuki is different from the clan sect, if the clan clan's strategy is more casual and can be changed at any time, then Sanada Masayuki will set a careful plan before every battle, and there is more than one set.
Therefore, after the clan asked, he only listened to Sanada Masayuki and said without thinking: "Back to the lord, my subordinates think that at present, the people of the Miyoshi family think that the army of the Miyoshi family is in the rear, and I am afraid that the Miyoshi family is no exception, and it is precisely because of this that the army of the Miyoshi family will inevitably be lax in defense." If the lord can lead the army to infiltrate the mountain city country at this time and launch a surprise attack on the army of the Miyoshi family, it will inevitably cause heavy losses to the army of the Miyoshi family, and even if he can't, he can also use this to hit the morale of the Miyoshi army. ”
After hearing this, the clan couldn't help but nodded, it was too dangerous to always be in the enemy's territory, and if you were not careful, you would be surrounded by the enemy. It is indeed not suitable to stay here for a long time, since Sanhao Yiji does not lead the army to come, then Lao Tzu will lead his command to find him.
I only heard the order of the clan: "Come on, quickly go and inform Wasuka Masakatsu, and tell him to go to the mountain of Ikoma in Yamashiro Province immediately after the end of the raid." ”
Two days later, in the middle of Ikoma Mountain, when the clan was having dinner, I saw Wasuka Masakatsu and his ninja army appear not far away.
The clan saw this. Not only did he not feel happy, but he frowned. This is entirely because there are only a few dozen ninjas following behind him, and this time he went out to fight, but two hundred ninjas were dispatched, and now there are only these left, which makes him feel unacceptable, could it be that he lost more than a hundred ninjas by attacking Iimori?
How is this possible, the army in Iimori City is less than three hundred people, and even if it is a strong attack, it is impossible to have such a big loss, what the hell is going on. [Literature]
Just when the clan was thinking nonsense. After arranging for the ninja army to unload the food they were carrying, Bee Suga Masakatsu walked quickly to the front of the clan, and his rugged face was full of smiles, and the clan finally felt relieved when he saw this, if the ninja army suffered heavy losses, as the leader of the ninja army, it would be absolutely impossible for him to have such an expression on his face.
But where did the remaining hundred or so ninjas go? The order he gave him was to lead the ninja army to converge. He had absolutely no guts to make arrangements on his own.
However, the clan did not ask, but waited for him to speak first, only to see Wasuka Masakatsu come closer, and after saluting, he couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, and said: "My lord, this subordinate is after the capture of Iimori City. The harvest was huge, except for the grain and grass that was brought back. He also found a large amount of gold in his castle guard warehouse, after statistics. A total of more than 20,000 pieces were obtained, and there were countless copper coins in the warehouse, but the troops under his command could only transport Jin Xiaoju to the Sparrow House in Kaimachi, as for the countless copper coins...... The subordinates had no choice but to give up. ”…,
Speaking of this, there was some disappointment on Wasuka Masakatsu's excited face.
And after he finished speaking, even the wealthy clan couldn't help but gasp, 20,000 yuan, this is the income of several sparrow houses for nearly a year, this money is enough to equip two elite teams of 100 people, if you let Miyoshi Yiji know the way, I'm afraid it will be distressed for a long time.
And this will also be a big blow to the Miyoshi family, thinking of this, I only heard the clan said: "I've worked hard for you this time, let's go down and rest first, and after the rest of the ninja army arrives, then launch a sneak attack on the Miyoshi family's army, and before that, you must send more ninjas to monitor the movements of the Miyoshi family's army." ”
"It is the lord, and his subordinates will live up to the trust of the lord." After speaking, I saw Wasuka Masakatsu immediately go down to make arrangements.
And at the same time as the clan was preparing, Nobunaga had also captured the two cities except for the Kannonji Castle, and after it captured the two cities, he gathered the military forces and launched a fierce attack on the Kannonji City, and the hexagonal army in the city suddenly doubled the pressure, and now whether it is the people of the Hexagonal family in the city, or the Oda army outside the city, I am afraid that it will not be long before the Kannonji City will be captured by the Oda army, if it is placed in peacetime, the defenders in the city will have fled long ago when they see such a situation, However, they knew that the army of the Oda family had surrounded the city, and even if they escaped from the city, they would definitely die.
And in the past few days, Ashigaru who escaped from the city has set a good example for them, and all those who went out of the city were ruthlessly killed by the Oda army, and Nobunaga cut off the heads of these people, and placed a human head tower outside the city of Kannonji Temple, and now this human head tower is nearly one meter high.
And now the Rokkaku Yoshiji in the city has the heart to reconcile with the old enemy Miyoshi family, and asks him to send reinforcements to support, but the messenger he sent to Lu is also a good one who was killed by the Oda army and placed on the head tower.
Nobunaga outside the castle was in a very good mood at the moment, he had already received reports from many ninjas, and at first he was still annoyed that the Takayama clan had not led an army to help in the battle, but when he heard that he had not only turned the Miyoshi family's territory upside down, but also attacked Iimori Castle, the smile never disappeared from his face.
Before, when he learned that the Miyoshi family sent 20,000 troops to fight with the family, he felt a little worried, although the Miyoshi family did not have the elite of the family's army, but the number was much more, and it fought in its own territory, standing in the right place and people, if the family army was a little careless, it would be a loss, but since he learned that the Takayama clan not only captured the city, but also broke through many cities under the rule of the Miyoshi family, and defeated its more than 1,000 troops under the enemy's nose, This will undoubtedly deal a big blow to the morale of the Miyoshi Army.
Nobunaga, who has been fighting for many years, of course, knows that if the combat strength of the two armies is not much different, then it depends on whose morale is high and the fighting spirit is strong, and now the morale of the family is like a great and the division is famous, but the Miyoshi family is just the opposite, if the two families have a decisive battle, how can they not win.
Although Nobunaga really wanted the clan to continue to stay behind enemy lines and cause trouble to the enemy, he also knew that such a task was too dangerous, and I was afraid that the enemy's morale had fallen to the bottom at this moment, even if the clan captured some more cities, it would not be too much of a blow to the Miyoshi army.
Thinking of this, Nobunaga no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered his ninjas to go behind enemy lines to find traces of the Takayama clan, and ordered him to come and meet.
However, the ninjas under Nobunaga's command still have to monitor the movements of the Miyoshi army at all times, so it is impossible to send too many ninjas to find it, and the territory of the Miyoshi family is not small, who knows where the Takayama clan will appear in the next moment, so Nobunaga did not have much hope, but he believed that with the wisdom of the Takayama clan, it should not be surrounded by enemies, and after seeing that his actions were useless, he would definitely come to join him, thinking of this, Nobunaga put all his mind on the siege. …,
And at this moment, in the pacification room of the castle tower in Rakunaka Castle, Matsunaga Shu was sitting on the main seat, and in this huge assessment room, Matsunaga Tong and Naito Ruan, who remained in the town guard of Yamato Province, were all present.
And today, the reason why he gathered all the important ministers in his family was because Miyoshi Yoshitsugu sent someone.
As soon as the retainers were seated, Matsunaga Shu immediately summoned the junior samurai who had come to give the order. Although this samurai, like the other retainers of the Miyoshi family, was ashamed of what Matsunaga Shu had done, but now that the family had a request for him, he did not show his thoughts on his face, and as soon as he entered the evaluation room, he still saluted respectfully: "I met Matsunaga-sama in Shimoharada Fujihachi. ”
Although Matsunaga Xiu was extremely dissatisfied with him, he still said with a long expression: "Harada-sama has worked hard all the way, I don't know if my lord came this time and brought the lord's order?" ”
"Back to Lord Matsunaga, this time I did bring an order from the lord, the lord ordered you to immediately lead the army to the island castle to join the army of the family, and attack the Oda army together, the lord is not guilty of what the lord has done in the past, and after defeating the Oda family, the lord will also officially appoint the lord as the lord of the Yamato country, and send the army to help the lord of the Yamato country, and ask the lord to decide."
After listening to this, Matsunaga Xiu's face was overjoyed, and he replied without hesitation: "Please Harada-sama report back to the lord immediately, my subordinates deeply feel the grace of the lord not punishing, and my subordinates immediately lead the army to join the lord's army." ”
Harada Fujihachi saw that Matsunaga Hideki was overjoyed, and he felt very disgusted, since his task had been completed, he couldn't wait to leave immediately, so he only heard him speak: "Then there is Lord Ratsunaga, and I will go to the Lord to tell me about it." After saying that, I saw him stand up and walk towards the assessment room without looking back, but just after he turned around, the smile on the corner of Matsuhisa's mouth also turned into a sneer.
