Today's Saito family has long been in ruins, especially when the clan returned to Mino, the 1,500 troops in Inabayama Castle were scattered, and even Hineno Hiroshi was killed in this battle.

In the current Inabayama Castle, the army is no more than 500, and the number of samurai is less than 10, so it can be said that if there are no soldiers, there will be no generals, and the Oda family can be wiped out in the middle of talking and laughing, which is already a matter that everyone knows, so there is no need to discuss this.

The middle and lower-ranking samurai, who were waiting for the order to go out outside the assessment room, did not expect the military discussion to end so quickly, and after a period of panic, they gathered the army that was resting, and saw Nobunaga riding on a horse, waving the whip in his hand forward, and yelling: "Let's go"

After Oda Nobunaga's order, 15,000 Ashigaru snakes marched towards Mino Inabayama Castle.

When the Oda family was gathering troops, Saito Ryuko had already received information, and unlike the previous times, this time he was no longer in the mood to continue to enjoy.

At present, there are only more than 500 troops in Inabayama Castle, but the enemy has mobilized an army of 15,000 people, and in the face of absolute strength, Saito Ryuxing now has only three paths to choose. Either commit suicide by seppuku to save face, or return the city to the Oda family, and there is still one way left, that is, while the Oda army has not yet attacked, immediately pack up the gold and silver, and lead a few cronies to flee from this place, in order to make a comeback.

And with Saito Ryuxing's character, he doesn't even have to think about it, he will definitely choose the third way, and now, in the assessment room of Inabayama Castle, although there are still eight retainers, but among these eight people, there is no one who can be turned into talents, and they all know what kind of goods they are, otherwise, they would have abandoned the Saito family and switched to other daimyo like other retainers.

These eight retainers, in addition to their poor abilities, also have a common idea, that is, if they have a chance to live, they will never talk about life and death lightly. If the lord decides to die in the city, they will definitely persuade the lord to avoid becoming a burial object himself.

The atmosphere in the assessment room was very oppressive, and none of the retainers dared to speak first, they all sat in their seats, quietly waiting for the lord to give the last order.

What made them feel relieved was that the order issued by the lord was to abandon the city, which made all the retainers present breathe a sigh of relief, as long as the lord did not die in the city, then it meant that he could continue to live, and the only thing that needed to be discussed now was that after abandoning the city, what should he go to.

I only heard one of the retainers who was stupid by the strength of the Oda family first suggested: "My lord, my subordinates think that we should stay away from the Oda family this time, so as not to be humiliated by them again." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, several retainers were dissatisfied, and one of them immediately retorted: "My lord, don't listen to Lord Sato's words, the Oda family is strong, and the lord abandoned the castle, although he betrayed the spirit of bushido, but it was excusable, but if he fled away, it would be a little too much, so his subordinates suggested that after abandoning the castle, he immediately went to the Ise area and joined forces with the anti-Oda Se forces there in order to make a comeback, and asked the lord to decide." ”

I only heard another retainer echo casually: "What Yamato Mamoru said is reasonable, although the Oda family has sent Takigawa Kazuki as the general to invade Ise, but it has not been able to do anything, this is only because the terrain of Ise is complex, and the power is as many as a cow's hair, just in North Ise, there are as many as forty-eight well-known wealthy families, and there is Nagashima Castle in front as a barrier, this is the place where the lord revives the family business, so the subordinates think that it is better to go to Ise, defect to Nagashima City, and resist the Oda family with it, and then slowly eat away at the surrounding strength, It is the best policy to restore the former glory of the Saito family, and please think twice. ”

As soon as these words came out, not to mention the retainers present, even Saito Ryuxing, who was sitting on the main seat, was also moved, as long as he could restore the former strength of his family, then he could live the extravagant life he had before.

After a while, Saito Ryuxing saw that the retainers had no other proposals and were waiting for their final decision, so he no longer hesitated, cleared his throat, and said, "Ahem, everyone, I have decided to go to Kitaise and unite with Nagashima Castle to resist the Oda family. Now give you time to make three incense, go back and pack up, and after the three incense, abandon the city and go to Kitaise. ”…,

Just as Saito Ryuxing was about to get up and return to the inner room to pack up his belongings, another retainer opened his mouth and reminded: "My lord, my subordinates think that since they have chosen to abandon the city, then they should burn down the city, so as not to add strength to the Oda family." ”

Saito Ryuxing, who was about to leave just now, turned around again and said as if to himself, "Destroy the city? Although he still had some feelings for this Inabayama Castle, however, when he thought that if he didn't destroy this castle, it would fall into the hands of the hateful Oda Nobunaga, which was the result of his decision not to see, and Oda Nobunaga couldn't get what he couldn't keep.

Thinking of this, Saito Ryuxing said almost frantically: "For the burning of the city, I want Oda Nobunaga to get a ruined city, Ha Luha"

As soon as Saito Ryuxing's words fell, with a huge thunderclap, the sky gradually darkened, followed by a strong wind, and then a torrential rain fell from the sky, and everyone present couldn't help but be shocked, as if the heavens were warning them not to burn down the city, and now even if they dare to go against the sky, they are more than willing to do it.

Seeing this, Saito Ryuxing had no choice but to give up and walk quickly towards the inner room.

The pouring rain still kept falling, and at this moment, Wasuka Masakatsu and the others, who were behind Inabayama Castle, saw that it was suddenly raining heavily, so they sent people to continue to stare at the movement in Inabayama Castle, while looking for a place to hide from the rain nearby.

As early as a few months ago, Wasuka Masakatsu discovered this place, and when he found out that it was indeed as the lord guessed, there was a path that could directly reach the outside of Inabayama Castle, and it was also a castle that should not be noticed, not to mention how excited he was, at that time he had the idea of directly leading the ninja army under his command to seize the city, but after calming down, he decided not to assert it on his own, and it was better to report the matter to the lord for decision.

This matter, the clan clan already knew the bottom of his heart, so after listening to the ninja's report, he didn't feel too surprised, he ordered Wasuka Masakatsu to take the city again when he was absolutely sure, and on the other hand, he sent forty ninjas to the mountain behind Inabayama Castle and handed them over to Wasuka Masakatsu to dispatch, plus these ninjas, the ninja army ambushed behind Inabayama Castle has reached fifty, which is enough, if there are more, it will inevitably expose the target ......,
