When the two met, after a few words of greeting, they only heard Yamaguchi Uemon ask straight to the point: "I wonder how many troops the leader of Tanaka has brought to help this time?" ”

After hearing this, Katsusuke Tanaka hurriedly said: "The scale of Kyoto Sparrow House is much worse than that of Kaimachi, so this time I only brought a hundred people in the next place, but this is already all the combat power, which makes the leader smile." [Literature]"

"The leader of Tanaka is really too polite, we are all acting on orders, how much military strength can you and I decide, but since the two armies have cooperated in one place, if the orders cannot be unified, then there is something wrong......"

Speaking of this, Yamaguchi Uemon did not continue, but looked at Tanaka Katsusuke intently, and Tanaka Katsusuke didn't think much about it after listening, the other party brought twice as many troops as himself this time, and this commander should be his own, thinking of this, I only heard Tanaka Katsusuke speak: "The army led by the adult is two hundred, and there are only one hundred below, so this commander should be the adult." ”

Yamaguchi Uemon couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, and although he was determined to be the commander, he began to feel very happy to see the other party so happy.

He believes that as long as he can become the commander, then as long as he leads the breakthrough of the Matsunaga army, then most of the credit will fall to him, and Katsusuke Tanaka may only have to drink soup.

Now that the matter of the commander has been decided, it is time to discuss the details, as for how to attack and when to attack, the opinions of the two are not much different, so it was quickly decided to launch an attack on the Matsunaga family at the time of today's ugly.

Soon it was already dark, and since it was still two or three miles away from the Matsunaga army, they planned to attack it directly when they arrived. [Literature]

However, when they came to the designated place. Only then did he realize that the Matsunaga army was not as he thought, and the defense would be a little lax after dark, and he saw that the camp in front of him was brightly lit, and there were fifty or sixty people in charge of the patrol alone, and if he led the army to rush over like this, I am afraid that he would be discovered by the enemy before he rushed close.

But the arrow is on the line, and it has to be ...... Yamaguchi Uemon Chiro Road. The opponent is heavily defended, and if you rush through like this, the leader of the team is the most dangerous, and you may encounter some samurai with outstanding martial arts, and even if you don't, it is not easy to kill a bloody road under the siege of the enemy.

And if it's in the back of the team, it's much safer. The front has been killed and a bloody road has been opened, as long as I keep up, as long as I am careful, I will not have to worry about my life, so. This charge is still left to Katsusuke Tanaka.

Thinking of this, I only heard him speak: "Leader Tanaka, the rescue of the Takayama Army is an order that you and I have received, even if there are many dangers ahead, it must be completed." Therefore, the lord led 200 troops as the vanguard, and I led 100 troops to break through, so it should not be difficult to break through the enemy army, I don't know what the leader of Tanaka thinks? ”

Even if Yamaguchi Uemon doesn't say it. Katsusuke Tanaka also wants to apply for the position of pioneer. Otherwise, how should I behave in front of Takayama-sama and be recognized by Takayama-sama.

What he didn't expect was that the other party was willing to help him with a hundred troops, which made him feel very moved, he had two hundred troops in hand, and with his martial arts that were not too bad, it should not be difficult to rush past the Matsunaga army.

The arrangement has been set. At the moment when Katsusuke Tanaka was about to give the order to attack, hundreds of ninjas suddenly rushed out from not far away. Rushed straight towards the Matsunaga army, although I don't know which family sent the ninja army. I don't know who is in charge of the road, but they know that it must be the army that rescues Lord Takayama.

Katsusuke Tanaka saw that the ninja army had already rushed over, so he hurriedly ordered: "Quick, quickly attack with me!" After speaking, I saw Katsusuke Tanaka rushing to the front, and 200 ashigaru followed. …,

And Yamaguchi Uemon now regrets it very much, and now there are hundreds of ninjas rushing to the front, so it can be said that Katsusuke Tanaka and 200 Ashigaru who are sandwiched in Nakami are the safest.

At the same time, the rear army led by him has become the most dangerous army, and he now keeps scolding the hundreds of ninjas in his heart, if they are one step slower, then he will become a Chinese army, so that the security will be greatly enhanced.

Just when he was thinking nonsense, Katsusuke Tanaka had already led two hundred troops to rush out of twenty or thirty meters, and Yamaguchi Uemon saw this, and hurriedly led the army to follow, otherwise, if the distance was widened, then he would have to face the Matsunaga army alone.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

"Report to the Lord! Hundreds of ninjas and hundreds of ashigaru have already rushed into the camp, and they are still asking the lord to decide. ”

After listening to Matsunaga Xiu, he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, and he didn't need to ask to know that this must be the reinforcements of the Takayama family, but what made him puzzled was that this was the territory of the Yamashiro country, the Miyoshi family, where did these enemy reinforcements come from, but now he didn't have time to think about it, if these troops broke through the camp and entered Takasaki City, then even if the 600 troops of the family came to help, it would be difficult to capture the city again.

Thinking of this, he heard Matsunaga Xiu hurriedly order: "Quick, intercept them at all costs, and you must not let them rush through the camp and enter Gaoqi City!" ”

"It's the lord."

At this moment, the troops of the Takayama family who were defending on the city wall saw the chaos in the enemy camp outside the city, and they couldn't help but hurriedly go to the samurai mansion where the lord was located.

After listening to this, the Takayama clan hurriedly went to watch, but because the sky was too dark, and the camp set up by Matsunaga Hide's camp was not close to Takasaki Castle, he could only see a rough idea, but he couldn't really see it.

And not long after the clan arrived, the retainers of the Takayama family also arrived. Seeing this, the retainers couldn't help but be overjoyed, now that the enemy camp is in chaos, if the family can lead the army to attack at this moment, then it only takes one battle to make the Matsunaga army hurt their muscles and bones, so that even if Matsunaga Shu doesn't want to retreat, he has to retreat.

Thinking of this, I only heard Watanabe Moritsuna say excitedly: "Lord, this must be Mizuse Uemon who led the ninja to help, and his subordinates applied to fight, and when the enemy was in chaos, he was repulsed, and the lord was asked to decide." ”

"My lord, the number of elite cavalry is too small, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to bring too many losses to the enemy, so my command applied to participate in the battle with Lord Watanabe, and asked the lord to decide." After Watanabe Moritsuna finished speaking, he heard Hori Hidemasa also hurriedly say.

And since the two of them, Masakatsu Wasuka, Sugitani Zensukebo and others have also applied, for fear that they will be one step slower and will be left by the lord to guard the city. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
