Chapter 443: The Great War is about to begin
I only heard Mizase Uemon hurriedly say; "Lord, his subordinates apply to participate in the war" He saw that Matsunaga Xiu did not arrange a task for him, and he couldn't help but feel very anxious, if he was on standby here, how could he inform the lord, if he really let the Matsunaga army form an encirclement, then I am afraid that the lord will be really fierce. **
And Tanaka Sanzaemon listened to it, and hurriedly applied; "Lord, if the army of this family is too scattered, it will be difficult to annihilate the Takayama army, and if the Takayama army is routed and fled, it is not easy to intercept, it is better for the lord to divide the army under his command into three roads, and his subordinates and Lord Mizse are responsible for attacking all the way, so that the Takayama clan and its ninja army will be unable to escape, and please decide."
Tanaka Sanzaemon after finishing his words, staring at the lord intently, waiting for the lord's decision, in his opinion, if you fight in this mountain forest, the ninja army is more suitable than Ashigaru, don't look at yourself and Mizuse's command There are only two hundred ninjas in total, but if you fight here, the combat power that erupts is definitely not less than the five hundred guesses of the family, and even more than that, looking at the importance of the lord to this mountain army, you know that if the Takayama clan sect is taken, it must be a grand duke, Therefore, how could he give up such a good deed?
After listening to this, Matsunaga Hideki couldn't help but look at Tanaka Sanzaemon. Because of his contempt for the ninja army, when he gave the order just now, he didn't remember that his family still had such an army.
Isn't it time to use them now, Matsunaga Xiu not only thought that this is more suitable for ninja combat, but also thought that if he sent the ninja army to fight, it could also reduce the loss of the elite of his family, in order to build the three thousand elites of his family, it can be said that in addition to spending a lot of money, it also took a lot of his energy, it can be said that every elite is precious, if it is not at a critical juncture or when life and death are at stake, he will never want to see any elite killed.
And compared to the elite of the family, the ninja army is much cheaper, even if one day these two hundred ninja soldiers are all killed, he will not feel the slightest distress, if they die, then they will recruit a group, anyway, their territory borders Iga, even in Yamato country, there are more than a dozen large and small ninjas, not to mention the country of the people, the number of ninjas there is not clear, as long as you need it, with your relationship with Kogari, you can recruit a large number of ninjas at any time, so in the eyes of Matsunaga Hide, Ninjas are just low-priced, low-status consumables, and Matsu Yong Hisahide still wishes they were going to die on behalf of the elite
At first, he didn't think of this good idea, but now that he has Tanaka Sanzaemon reminding him, then of course he will not refuse.
Thinking of this, Matsunaga Xiu couldn't help but glance at him appreciatively and said; "Well, what you said is very reasonable, since the ninja army is eager to fight, then, I will give you a chance, and you two will lead your subordinates to attack in the east."
"It is the lord, and his subordinates will live up to the trust of the lord." After saying that, Mizuse Uemon couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, as long as he can stay away from the army of the Miyoshi family, then there is nothing to fear, as for Tanaka Sanemon, who is in charge of the whole road with him, for the sake of the lord, for the sake of the Takayama family, he can only sacrifice him.
And the dozens of ninjas under his command, Mizuse is not worried, first, after Tanaka Sanzaemon dies, they will be leaderless, and secondly, he has a lot of favors to them in ordinary times and even exceeds his reward for them, as long as he is killed, and then a few cronies around him are controlled, then it should not be difficult to control these dozens of ninjas.
Even if they don't do what they think, after the death of Tanaka Sanzaemon, they don't have to worry about continuing to be their enemies, the more lively they fight with those ninjas, the easier it will be for the ninja army under the lord's command to find out, and as long as the lord leads the army to retreat from his own direction, and then the army under his command is broken, then not only can the danger be turned into safety, but also a lesson can be taught to the Matsunaga army. …,
In mountain warfare, as long as there are no ninjas on the other side, then Minase Uemon has the confidence to retreat after teaching the Matsunaga army a lesson.
Thinking of this, Mizuse Uemon immediately led his troops to keep up, looking for an opportunity to attack, however, although Tanaka Sanemon did not deliberately guard against it, but as a shinobi, he was always on guard, so he couldn't find a chance to attack for a while.
And Tanaka Sanzaemon doesn't want to get rid of Mizuse Rightemon people Obviously, this battle is suitable for the ninja army, and it is certain that he wants to take credit, he doesn't want anyone to share it with him, and there are a lot more ninjas under Mizse than himself, if the two armies really fight together, then Mizuse must get a lot more credit than himself, so that he will be overwhelmed by it, rather than this, it is better to get rid of it, but this matter needs to be done carefully, Mizuse's death must be blamed on the Takayama army, otherwise, I am afraid that not only will he not get any merit, but he will also be punished by the lord, and it will be greatly worthless if he dies because of this.
Soon Mizuse Uemon and Tanaka Sanzaemon led their troops to a kilometer east of the Takayama Army, and by this time Matsunaga Hideya had already redistributed his forces.
I only heard Tanaka Sanzaemon speak while the two thousand elites under the command of the lord had not yet arrived at the appointed position; "Mizuse-sama doesn't know if there is an arrangement?"
Since the division of the army, Mizuse Uemon has always wanted to be attacked by Tanaka Sanzaemon, but he has always adjusted his speed and Mizuse side by side, although his hand holding the shuriken has long been full of sweat, but he has not been recklessly thrown out of the ru, he is waiting for an opportunity, and since Tanaka Sanemon spoke, he knows that this opportunity is coming soon.
Just listen to what he says; "This time, the Takayama Army was discovered by the adults, so I thought that this credit should also be given to the adults, so I decided that the adults would attack first, and then launch the attack after a little delay. I don't know what adults think. ”
Tanaka Sanzaemon really didn't expect Minase to be so generous, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and even his heart to harm the other party faded.
Just listen to what he says; "That doesn't seem good······" Although he wanted to accept it, he still refused.
"Why not, the credit for this battle should belong to the adult, and I am already satisfied to be able to follow Zhan Zhanguang. So don't shirk it. ”
"That... Thank you, sir. After Tanaka Sanzaemon finished speaking excitedly, he put all his energy on Takayama Jun, thinking about how to earn meritorious service, and his vigilance couldn't help but be greatly reduced, and his body gradually relaxed from the previous tension.
