"Good! Good plan, so that not only do you not have to let those wealthy people enter the city, but also can deal a fatal blow to the enemy, this plan is very good. yan()kuai" Hatano Hideji couldn't help but get excited, and applauded this plan again and again, but soon he fell silent, and only heard him speak: "If it is Sakuma Nobumori, forget it, but the wisdom of the Takayama clan is unparalleled in the world, how can such a small plan be hidden from him, if it is self-defeating, then the enemy's morale will not only not fall, but the morale of the family's army will be somewhat reduced." ”

Akai Naomasa didn't worry too much about this, just heard him smile and said: "My lord, everyone in the world says that the wisdom of the Gaoshan clan is unparalleled in the world, but the subordinates feel that it is just a waste of fame. ”

"Oh? Why? Hideji Hatano couldn't help but be interested.

"My lord, please think about it, the reason why the strategy of the Gaoshan clan has succeeded repeatedly, is only because the opponents it has encountered are some people who only know how to rush and kill, and they don't know how to use it, so they will achieve its current reputation, and the subordinates have studied it when they have nothing to do, the Gaoshan clan is only good at setting up ambushes and stealing cities, as for the others, it is a little commonplace, and this time the family is cage city, then it will not be able to set up an ambush, and this time it did not lead the ninja army to come, so there is no way to talk about stealing the city, In this way, what else can he do to his own family? ”

"Lord, what Lord Akai said is reasonable, and his subordinates also think that the Gaoshan clan will definitely not expect this family's plan, after all, it has been calculating others, and has never been calculated, so if this family suddenly uses a plan, it will definitely be unprepared. Therefore, his subordinates agreed with Akai's strategy, and asked the lord to decide. The Four Kings Tianzheng Xiao couldn't help but speak.

"Okay, since you don't have any other ideas, then this matter is settled, and immediately send someone to invite Ogino Naomasa and others to discuss this matter."

In Sakuma, not long after the Takayama army stepped into Tamba Province, a castle stood in front of everyone, and this castle was Tamba Kameyama Castle, a famous fortified castle in Tamba. Seeing this castle, Sakuma Nobumori was ready for a big battle, but when he received a report from his subordinates, he realized that although this city was strong. But at this moment, it is an empty city, not to mention the samurai guarding the town, even Ashigaru has not seen one, Sakuma Nobumori couldn't help but be overjoyed after hearing this, the family went out to take a fortified city so easily. I had never encountered such a good thing before, so I immediately sent someone into the city to investigate it carefully, and after confirming that there was no hidden danger, I immediately led a large army to enter the city, so that the army could rest and prepare for the attack on Hatano Castle, the main city of the Hatano family, tomorrow.

And such a result was expected by the clan sect, if Hatano Hideji sent someone to defend the city, then the clan would definitely look down on the other party, and now that he didn't send someone to come, then this battle may not be so easy to fight. But anyway. It is still worth rejoicing that a bloodless soldier has won a fortified city.

"I wonder what my father-in-law plans to do with this fortified city?" When the army was resting, I saw the clan come to Sakuma Nobumori's side and asked.

"What can I say about this, now we need to concentrate all our efforts to capture Bashang City, as long as this city can be captured, then this Tanbo country has basically fallen into the hands of the old man, this Guishan City naturally can't run, and if it is because of the lack of troops, the siege fails, then a small part of the army stationed in this city. It is impossible to block the enemy's counterattack, so there is no need to divide the army to garrison this city for the time being, not only this city, but I am afraid that the same is true of the cities along the way. Since Hideharu Hatano is willing to do it, what else is the old man reluctant to do? ”

After hearing these words, the clan finally put his mind at ease, he was afraid that his father-in-law would divide his troops to garrison, so that there were several cities along the way, if he divided his troops to garrison. I'm afraid that the army that can attack Yagami City is less than 8,000, so it will be quite difficult to capture it.

Looking at the expression of the clan, he knew what he was worried about, so he only heard Sakuma Nobumori say again: "The old man is not old enough to be confused, so why should you worry about this matter?" Could it be that the old man has been fighting for decades and doesn't even understand these truths? ”

"Please also ask your father-in-law to forgive me, the clan is just worried that my father-in-law has not made meritorious contributions for many years, so I am afraid that after the lord takes the city, he will feel nostalgic, so it seems that the clan is too worried."

"Haha, the old man is here for the two countries this time, how can he care about this city."

Sure enough, as Sakuma Nobumori thought, there was no one stationed in the castle along the way, and Sakuma Nobumori didn't even bother to enter the city, but after sending someone to investigate, he led the army to continue to move forward.

Since there was no obstacle along the way, the army had already arrived a mile away from Bashang City in less than half a day.

The clan can't help but look up, Yagami Castle on Mt. Takashiro, the reason why this castle is considered by the world to be inferior to Gifu Castle is not that this castle is not strong enough, and on the contrary, Yajo Castle is not only higher than Gifu Castle, but also the water of Mizubori is wider with the help of the stream, in addition, the repetition of the warp wheel is not below Gifu Castle, the only thing that is not as good as Gifu is that Mt. Takajo is not steep enough, if you want to attack Mt. Inaba there is only one big road, of course, there is also an unknown trail behind the mountain, but this Mt. Takajo is not so steep, Although there is no rear in sight, the front and the left and right sides of the mountains are relatively flat, and the army can attack in three ways, if this is the case, then the pressure on the defenders of the city is much greater, and as long as one side is breached, the city can be captured, a disadvantage that can cover up those advantages. Seeing such a terrain, the clan also felt a lot easier.

However, after the exploratory attack ended, the clan clan could not get up easily, thinking that everyone had ignored one point, that is, there were five thousand elites stationed in the city at this moment, and these elites were all elites who had been trained for many years and were not worse than the Sakuma army. In addition, you can see the mountains of falling rocks in Ninomaru, and even from the bottom of the mountain, through the outer wall, you can see that such a number is enough to bury 10,000 troops.

The Hatano family has not been prepared in vain in the past few years, they have been preparing for several years in order to wait for the arrival of this day, needless to say the grain and grass in the city, and the arrows and falling rocks as sharp weapons to defend the city, they have prepared countless people, and if they want to take this city, there is no good way to fill it with their lives.

But it's gratifying that after half a day's attack, although it didn't touch the edge of the city, it filled in the water hori that blocked the front, and the reason why there was such a result was thanks to the Takayama Army, although the Hatano family prepared a lot of arrows, but the bows used in its military strength were all bamboo bows with weak attack power, and the arrows shot with these bows were very difficult to penetrate the armor on the Ashigaru of the Takayama family, and even if it was penetrated, what could it be, because of the armor barrier, so most of the strength was removed, Shooting on the body will not cause fatal damage. As for the falling rocks and rolling logs, they just helped the coalition forces fill in the water hori, and it was impossible to hurt people for the time being.

In addition, the Takayama army did not use the usual method of filling in the water hori, but sawed down countless huge trees and threw them on top of the water hori, the water below was still flowing, but it did not prevent people from walking above, so that not only was it fast, but it would not be time-consuming and laborious to rebuild the castle after reconquering it.

Although the Mizubori on one side was filled in, and there was still a thousand yellow bow troops led by Omiya Keiren under the Mizubori to prevent the other side from taking advantage of the truce to sabotage.

Although the results achieved in this half day are still worthy of recognition, but at this moment, everyone's faces are not very good-looking.

Especially Sakuma Nobumori,At this moment, he is even more angry,Because he is not very concerned about collecting intelligence,So the understanding of the Hatano family is still a few years ago,He originally thought that the Hatano family should still be based on peasant soldiers now,After all, a few years ago, when the other forces and the family were enemies,It's still the case,But when fighting,Not only did not see a peasant soldier,And its elite is even more thousands,In terms of combat power, it seems to be more than the army under his command.。 And he also thinks that even if Yagami City is a strong city, I am afraid that it is about the same scale as Tanba Kameyama City, even if it is stronger, it is limited, but when he arrived at the city, he found that this city is so grand, and with the thousands of elite defenses in the city, this city is really not so easy to take.

Because the difference with his own ideas was too great, he didn't know what to say for a while, after all, in front of such a city, the tactics he arranged were too simple, and now they are completely useless, so there is nothing to say.

But as the main general, if he doesn't speak, others can't say it first, so after a while, I still heard him say: "The solidity of this city, and the elite of the Hataye army exceed the old man's imagination, I am afraid that it is not so simple to capture the city, I don't know if you have a siege strategy?" ”

Although this sounded like he was said to everyone present, he looked at the clan intently when he spoke, and the meaning was very clear that in the face of such a strong city, I am afraid that only the clan sect has a way.

But what he didn't expect was that he saw the clan clan say after thinking about it: "Father-in-law, although the clan has paid a little attention to the Hatano family in recent years, but I still didn't expect its determination to fight against the Oda family, in terms of the scale and solidity of the city, it is definitely among the best in the world, and the Hatano family is well prepared, plus the Tanba Twin Oni are not vain people, with the two of them commanding, it seems that it is indeed a little difficult to break through this city." Speaking of this, the clan sect changed his words and continued: "However, the cage city relies on the first is a strong city, and the other is the strength of the defending army, as long as the defending army can be lured out, then no matter how strong the city is, it will become an ornament.
