If it is said that the cavalry elite of the Takayama family, Miyoshi Yasunaga can still understand, after all, as long as the strong armor and horses can be created with strict training, but these hundred archers can not be easily owned, he has already thought of the elite of the Takayama army, but when the opponent's archazuki light is in the first round of salvo, he thinks that he still underestimates the strength of the Takayama army. //

If he had just known that the other party had such a military situation, then no matter how the three samurai persuaded him, he would never have let them lead the army into battle, and he regretted it even more now that he should not have applied for this left-behind mission when the lord held an evaluation meeting to discuss the deployment of troops to meet the Oda army, which was simply a humiliation for himself.

But it was too late to say anything now, and when the enemy released his arrows, he already knew that this battle would be defeated.

From that moment on, he was ready for defeat, as long as the three samurai who went out of the battle could come back alive, then he was already content, although the five hundred ashigaru who remained in Iimori Castle were the banner of the Miyoshi family, but even if all the two hundred people were killed, it would not be a big problem, after all, the land controlled by the Miyoshi family had more than one million stones, and the population under his rule was large, and it would not take three months to replenish it.

But even if the samurai are relatively easy to recruit, it takes a long time to gain trust, and although the status of these three samurai is not high, but when they were their father or grandfather, they were retainers of the Miyoshi family, and when they were passed on to their generation, there was absolutely no problem in loyalty, and if they died, then it would be difficult for them to replace the lord.

And when he saw that his army could not withstand the enemy's attack, not only did he not have any anger, but he breathed a sigh of relief for this, only by retreating could he keep more troops, and the defense of the castle tower would be more stable, and the three samurai would not have to die in vain.

However, before he could finish the breath in his mouth, and then the firelight, he clearly saw that one of the samurai among the enemies actually put three arrows on the bowstring at a time, and put the longbow in his hand flat. What does the other party want to do?

Ah no, now he finally figured it out, the enemy wanted to shoot three samurai from several sides at once, how could this be possible, how could there be such a person in the world, and he was still so young.

Whether he believed it or not, he still shouted to warn the three warriors to be careful, but it was too late.

Yasunaga Miyoshi looked at the injured samurai in front of him, and his mood couldn't calm down for a long time, the Oda family has the Takayama clan, and the Takayama family has such a samurai, and it is too difficult for the family to win. //

And now the only thing to be thankful for is that the most elite Takayama army in the Oda family did not follow Oda Nobunaga, otherwise, even if the army led by the lord surpasses the Oda army, there is no chance of victory, but the question is how long can he keep the Takayama army here? It seems that there is only one step left to take.

Thinking of this, I only heard Miyoshi Yasucho say weakly: "The defeat of this battle is all due to my light enemy, and the enemy has not retreated, don't talk about the seppuku anymore, you go down to treat the wounds first." ”

And after listening to this, the samurai knew in his heart that the Miyoshi Kang Elder had no responsibility at all in this battle, and it was all because he and others did not listen to the advice, so he would have this failure Since it was his fault, as a samurai, how could he let others bear the responsibility, so he only listened to him and said bitterly: "The kindness of Lord Miyoshi is in the heart, but this defeat is caused by the next hand, and after the lord returns to the army, he will definitely die to the lord."

Now Miyoshi Yasunaga's mind is all on the Takayama Army outside the castle tower, as for what this samurai said, he didn't listen to it at all, so after he finished speaking, he saw Miyoshi Yasunaga nodding uncertainly, and then moved his eyes to Takayama Jun. …,

At this moment, the city is on fire, and most of the buildings in the city have been set on fire by the Gao Shan Army, even if there are no buildings that have been ignited, I am afraid that it will not take a moment or three to be covered by the flames emitted from other buildings.

Watanabe Moritsuna and Horihide Masashi saw that in addition to the fact that the area around the castle gate and the road leading to the castle gate had not been ignited, there was no place in the city to start, so they couldn't help but gather their forces again and headed towards the castle tower.

And outside the castle tower, the clan has already made a decision on the next move, and when he just made a decision, he felt that the heat was unbearable, because just now he only cared about the battle strategy with Sanada Masayuki, so he didn't pay attention, but when all this was over, he found that the clothes on his body were completely soaked, and when he saw Sanada Masayuki was also like washing, and he kept wiping the bean-sized sweat droplets on his forehead with a handkerchief.

The candle that was originally placed on the stone platform had already been extinguished, but now it was much brighter than just now, the clan raised his head, but saw that the fire in front of him had illuminated the sky, fortunately it was autumn at this time, and the wind at night was very cool and strong, blowing all the billowing smoke into the distance, otherwise, even if he was not burned to death, he would be choked to death. Seeing that Watanabe Moritsuna and Hori Hidemasa had already led the cavalry under their command to appear not far away, he didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately ordered the elite cavalry to be the palace army, and led the army to rush out of the city, and he didn't even bother to say a word to Miyoshi Yasunaga in the castle tower, lest the fire block the road, anyway, it won't be long before he and he will meet.

And before the clan sect reached the city gate, I saw Ishikawa Goemon rushing from the city gate in front of the Dao clan sect, and said: "Report to the lord, according to the ninja's report, the reinforcements sent by Tsuda Castle and Kamino Castle have left?" p> said that the p said that the p's p>'s p's p's p's p'

"Enzhilu said, the whole army listened to the order and evacuated immediately." After speaking, I saw the horse whip in the hand of the Gaoshan Clan, and it was pulled down fiercely.

"My lord, in order to meet the Oda army, the Miyoshi family has drawn a large number of troops, and Tsuda Castle and Kakuno Castle have come with 1,500 troops this time, so these two cities must be empty, why don't you choose one of them to carry out a sneak attack, so as to replenish grain and grass?"

Just now, the strategy set by the clan and Sanada Masayuki was to enter the Kongo Mountain to repair after attacking Iimori Castle, and both of them decided that now the army of the Miyoshi family has not gone too far, and after learning that Iimori Castle was attacked, they will inevitably return to help, and after they leave in vain, they will lead the army to attack the city again, and the enemy will definitely not think that he will attack this city continuously, and the defense will inevitably be lax, so it should not be difficult to really capture this city.

At that time, the morale of the Miyoshi family's army was hit one after another, even if there were many of them, how could they resist the attack of the Oda family's army without fighting spirit, so that their goals were all achieved.

However, when Sanada Masayuki finished speaking, the clan saw that the faces of the retainers showed an excited look, how could there be half a bit of exhaustion on their faces, anyway, they were idle and idle, so it was good to satisfy them, but just attacking one city was really a bit too much, so it was better to divide the troops to attack the two cities separately, so as to inflict a greater blow on the Miyoshi family.

Thinking of this, the clan immediately divided the army under his command into two, and distributed the thirty ninjas equally to the two armies, before the enemy had not exchanged news, let the ninjas sneak into the city to open the city gate, and then the army rushed into the city, although this tactic is monotonous, but it is very easy to use, which can not only allow the army to enter the city at the fastest speed, but also minimize the loss, such a good method, every time you use it again, it is equivalent to earning one more point, I am afraid that it will not be long before the Miyoshi family will be unprepared for this, So nothing can be wasted. …,

After the army was divided into two, Sejong led the elite cavalry, and the iron artillery team and Sanada Masayuki, who commanded the scimitar cavalry and the Shigeto bow team, agreed on a meeting place, and each ran to the pool that he wanted to attack.

Seven or eight miles away from Iimori Castle is Tsuda Castle, this castle is not large, there is only a two-story castle tower in the city, and there are few buildings such as the training center and the samurai residence, although it is already late at night, but the lord of the castle, Tsuda Masaka, did not rest, but stood on the narrow observation platform at the highest point of the castle tower, looking in the direction of Iimori Castle.

However, at this moment, he suddenly found that hundreds of people were approaching Tsuda Castle a hundred meters outside the city, which made him take a breath.

Just now, he sent six hundred and fifty troops to rescue Iimori City, so now there are only fifty ashigaru in the city, if other armies come to attack, he will not be so panicked, but the other party is an elite Takayama army, not to mention that there are only fifty ashigaru in the city now, even if it is tenfold, it is not necessarily the opponent of the Takayama army.

What now? It is definitely impossible to submit to the other party, the city under his rule is next to the lord's residence, if he submits to the city, even if he can escape today, but when the lord returns to the army, the Tsuda family will still be unable to escape the end of destruction, and he will have to bear the notoriety of a traitor, in this case, it is better to have a vigorous battle with the enemy, maybe he can wait until his son leads the army back, if he fails to hold on to the return of the army under his command, then as long as the son does not die, then the Tsuda family will not be destroyed.

Thinking of this, I only heard him shout loudly: "Enemy attack, enemy attack, go to the city wall and block the enemy's attack!" His voice was so loud that even the Gaoshan Clan Sect outside the city could hear it clearly, but even so, the city was as quiet as before, and no one answered

Tsuda Masashi saw that after he shouted, except for the attendants who entered immediately, no one in the city responded, and the city was still as quiet as just now, and couldn't help frowning, how could his voice be loud, how could his subordinates not hear it, but now that time was pressing, he couldn't think too much, so he saw him come to the knife stand in three steps and two steps, and drew his sword and rushed to the outside of the castle tower.
