Chapter 455: Seeking Reinforcements
I only heard the clan sect speak: "There is not much time left for you this time, I'm afraid even if you go, it will be in vain." Before Mizuse Uemon could speak, he saw Wasuka Masakatsu scratching his head and smiling awkwardly, "That...... Lord, the reason why the family's ninja army is growing slowly in numbers is not that the ninjas near the territory are recruited, but... It's that the subordinate has too high requirements for them, so they only recruit about ten a year, and all the ninjas recruited by the subordinates are already close to the level of the middle ninja.
The lord doesn't know.,When the subordinates were in the ninja barrassment,The most work they do,It's not to be responsible for the training of the ninja army.,But to meet those ninjas who came to defect.,Basically, you can see more than a hundred or so every month.,This... Uemon is right, with the attitude of the family towards ninjas, as long as you raise your arms and shout, you can't be sure if you don't belong to the distance, but I'm afraid that there is no subordinate in this, or most of the ninjas who are not large-scale will respond.
In just five days, the family can get the support of 200 ninjas. Before, the subordinates reported that they were unknown, and they asked the lord to forgive their sins. ”
Before the clan could speak, Mizuse Uemon hurriedly added: "My lord, although the combat strength of these temporarily recruited ninjas is not as strong as the ninja army of my family, but the attitude of my family towards ninjas, at least all the ninjas near know the way, and if the lord agrees, this is equivalent to giving them a chance, how can they not fight bravely to kill the enemy, in order to be recruited by the lord, so the subordinates think that their morale can completely make up for their lack of training."
And if you can defeat the enemy, if the lord wants to take them in. Naturally, everyone rejoiced, and if they couldn't, as long as the lord gave them some money, they could be dispersed. It will not cause a burden to the family, this is the foolish opinion of the subordinates, and I ask the lord to decide. ”
The clan couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this, he could recruit at least two hundred ninjas in five days, he didn't expect the Takayama family to have such a heavy position in the hearts of ninjas, but although Wasuka Masakatsu had been suppressing the increase in the number of ninja soldiers before, there was nothing wrong with it, he had said it before. The Gao Shan family wants to take the road of elite soldiers, and the army is not too much but fine, and of course, the ninja army is no exception.
But now is the time to hire people. If you care about these rules and regulations, then after this battle, I don't know how many ninja troops will be left, and it will be much more difficult to train a qualified ninja than to train a qualified elite ashigaru. The ninja army under his command can be replenished with this.
As for the abilities of those ninjas, the clan didn't have time to think about it now, but he was sure that as long as they had undergone rigorous training. They will definitely be an elite team as well.
Didn't the ninjas who followed him first start out with the same average combat power, after training? Now it has become one of the pillars of the family.
Thinking of this, the clan did not hesitate. I heard him immediately speak: "Mizuse Uemon, you immediately go and recruit nearby ninjas, you tell them, as long as you come to help in the war, when the war is over, I will agree to their allegiance, if someone is not willing to become a ninja directly under my Takayama family, then there is also a payment, go." ”
"It is the lord, and his subordinates will live up to the trust of the lord." After saying that, I saw the ninja under the command of Mizuse Uem and Wasuka Masakatsu make a deal, and quickly ran forward.
On the way to the clan, the ninja he had just sent had already arrived outside Takasaki Castle, and before he could get to the city gate, he shouted loudly: "I am Shinnosuke, the head of the ninja army under the command of the Takayama clan, and I have something important to ask to see Ishiki Fuji-sama. ”
The reason why he will show his identity is completely to test whether the other party has been submitted, if so, then he will inevitably report it, and open the city to let him in, if he has not yet surrendered, then I am afraid that he will be greeted by arrows. …,
However, he was soon relieved, and Ashigaru, who was in charge of defense on the lookout, did not release the arrow after listening to Shinnosuke's self-report, but said equally loudly: "The villain will go to report, and please wait a while." After saying that, he got off the lookout and headed for the castle tower.
After a short time, I saw the city wide open, and a person walked out of the city gate, and Shinnosuke fixed his eyes to see that this person was not a one-color vine chief, nor was he a retainer under his command, but a light sea light.
Since Takasaki Castle, where Isshiki Fujinaga is located, is located in the west of Yamashiro Province, it is the farthest away of the three of the three that he wants to sleep, so Karumi Mitsuken will come here after he is the most illustrious.
Although he slept in the open along the way, what made him excited was that whenever he first explained his intentions, he was willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light whenever he explained his intentions, although these three people were only willing to return to the Ashikaga family, but what did it matter, whether they returned to the Oda family or the Ashikaga family, as long as they were no longer loyal to the Miyoshi family.
And just now, when he learned that the lord had sent someone to come, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, with the character of the lord, if he hadn't encountered a crisis, he would never have sent someone to come without hesitation, and he was eager to know the current situation of the lord of the Dao, so he ran all the way to the outside of the city, wanting to understand the lord's situation first.
As soon as he came to Shinnosuke, he couldn't wait to ask, "How is the lord and your lords and the army of my family?" ”
I only heard Shinnosuke speak: "Lord Hui Qinghai, tonight the family was attacked by the army of the Matsunaga family when they were resting in Mt. Ikoma, and there were heavy casualties......"
Hearing this, Qinghai Guangxian's heart burped, at first, he didn't know how elite the army under the command of Song Yongxiu was in the mountain city, but since he came to the mountain city country and met with the three city lords who were going to sleep and return, he knew that the elite level of the Song army was not much even compared with the strength of the army, and the number of people reached three thousand, and there were as many as two thousand garrisons in this mountain city country alone, and the army of the family was attacked by it, so the lord ......
Thinking of this, I only heard him anxiously ask, "Is the lord okay now?" ”
"Lord Hui, because our army discovered the enemy earlier, so although the army lost a lot of money, but when it came down, the lord and the lords were unhindered, and now the lord has brought the remaining four hundred troops and wounded to come, hoping to rely on the defense of this city to resist the enemy's attack with the Isshiki family."
After hearing this, Karumi Mitsuken first breathed a sigh of relief, since the lord was fine, he could rest assured, but soon he felt a little embarrassed, although Isshiki Fujinaga had decided to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, but after all, the object he chose to be loyal to was Ashikaga Yoshiaki and not the main hall, and although the Oda family raised troops to help Ashikaga Yoshiaki restore his old lordship.
However, no matter how you say it, it's two families, if the head of Isshiki Fuji doesn't let the lord enter the city, it is also reasonable, and looking at his attitude, it seems that he is very afraid of Matsunaga Xiu, so even he is not very sure that he can move the other party, but he also knows that if the Takayama army can't find a city to rely on, then it will inevitably be surrounded and annihilated by the Miyoshi family, so no matter what, it must be moved, if it really doesn't work, in order to protect the lord and the army, then it will be a threat after that.
Thinking of this, I only heard Light Sea Mitsuki say, "Okay, without further ado, you can go with me to the castle tower to meet the Ichishiki vine now." After saying that, I saw him grab Shinnosuke's hand and walk towards the castle tower. (To be continued.)
