In the city of Luozhong, from the outside, although it is still the same as a few days ago, there is no change at all, but except for the defenders on the city wall used to confuse the enemy, all the remaining troops have been assembled in the city.

At night, it was the time of the counterattack set by the clan. Although the ninja reported that the enemy had strengthened its defenses in the past two days, it was obviously too late to change the battle plan.

Seeing that the time was approaching, the clan clan's headband was inlaid with a horse linzi helmet and helmet, wearing a red worldly body, and a black coat embroidered with a golden mountain pattern array feather, slowly walked out of the samurai's mansion, behind him twenty famous ninja helmets with eight ninja helmets, and ninjas wearing chain ninja steel armor followed closely, one of them held high the Takayama family horse seal golden peacock in his hand.

In this battle, the enemy's combat strength was too strong, although the ashigaru people didn't say it, but from their eyes, the clan could still see that they were a little afraid of the monks outside the city, especially the more than 1,000 monks and soldiers in Enryakuji Temple. So in order to boost morale, he plans to go out in person and set an example for these hundreds of ashigaru.

If it was placed before, the clan would not be so reckless, but since he stayed in Kyoto for more than a month, after concentrating on learning swordsmanship, he still has some confidence in his combat power, and he already has some bravery, plus he has practiced hard recently, although there is no actual combat, but in terms of his own martial arts, now it should be able to be regarded as a third-rate samurai level, and when he meets those samurai who have learned martial arts since childhood, although he is still a hundred giving, but now he is bullying and bullying the elite Ashigaru, Or ordinary monks should still be able to do it.

Besides, he also has Ishikawa Goemon, and more than 20 ninjas are closely protected around, and it is difficult to think of danger, since this is the case, what else is there to be afraid of.

Soon more than 20 ninjas had followed the clan to hundreds of ashigaru bodies, and this was also an opportunity to boost morale before the counterattack, with the character of the clan, how did he miss it.

At that time. There is no need for the clan to say anything, as long as he wears this armor to fight here, at least the Ashigaru of the Takayama family is already boiling, if the flag under the command of Oda Nobunaga does not know what the martial arts of the Takayama clan are. Gao Shan's family is light but knows the way, although the lord is resourceful, but he is not skilled in martial arts, now since the lord is planning to go out in person, then what else do you have to be afraid of, can you say that your life is more valuable than the lord's, the enemy is not afraid of death. Could it be that he is a bad seed?

He is also known as the elite of the elite by the world, if he can't even win the group of bald donkeys outside the city, what face is there to call the elite.

And there are also a lot of Takayama family Ashigaru moved their minds, since they can become an elite Ashigaru, why can't they go further to become a samurai, the lord rarely went to the battlefield in person before, so no matter how he behaved, I'm afraid it would be difficult to attract the attention of the lord. But this is an opportunity, and if you can show your weight, you might even be promoted to a samurai in one fell swoop. Aren't Shikahara and Rokuro just good friends?

The clan stood in front of the ashigaru, and although he didn't speak, he kept observing, and when he found that the fear in the eyes of the ashigaru under his command had been replaced by longing, he was very satisfied. All he has to do now is to elevate this desire to the top, including the Oda family, and to ignite the fighting spirit in their hearts.

The reason why the clan didn't open his mouth was because he was waiting, waiting for the shouts to sound. He knew that he didn't need to say much. But you have to choose the right time, if after you finish speaking, Akechi Mitsuhide has not launched an attack on the enemy, then the morale will slowly cool down over time.

However, the waiting time was not long, and after a while, only the sound of shouting and killing came from outside the city. And as the shouting of killing sounded, I only heard the clan sect speak: "Everyone, you have been waiting to become a banner for a long time, are you satisfied?" ”…,

Everyone present didn't expect that Lord Takayama would open the scene with such words, so everyone was stunned and didn't know how to answer.

But the clan didn't want them to answer, but listened to him continue: "Don't you want to become a samurai like me and all other adults, and enjoy the respect and glory of the world, tell me if you want to!" After saying the most, the clan couldn't help but raise his voice.

"Yes!" Hundreds of people replied in unison.

They are different from peasant soldiers, there are many peasant soldiers who are not allowed to go to the battlefield, but they are different, they go to the battlefield to become a high samurai, in order to live a better life, and use the weapons in their hands to kill a broad road for themselves.

After hearing this, the clan nodded his head. "Okay, since you want to, then I'll give you a chance, in this battle, anyone who can kill the enemy's head, kill five monks and soldiers, and kill ten peasant soldiers, all of them will be promoted to flag samurai, if there is an Oda family ashigaru who meets the requirements, I ask the lord to apply, and I will never break my word."

After speaking, before everyone could react, I saw that the clan sect pointed like the golden peacock horse seal beside him, and continued: "There are hundreds of golden rebellions on it, and anyone who kills a monk can receive one." I hope that after this battle, there will be no more of them, and you don't have to wait for enough, even if you don't have the ability. ”

As soon as the clan sect finished speaking, the ashigaru in front of him was in an uproar, what is the concept of Jin Xiaoju, one is equivalent to five guan, and if you kill one person, you will have five guan to earn, is this true? And you can become a samurai as long as you kill a few enemies, which... This is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, instead of going to the gangsters, it is better to go to Bona Glory and Wealth,, Lao Tzu fights.

The Takayama clan waved his hand and threw out another bombshell, the clan knew very well what these flags were worried about, so he said: "Even if you are unfortunate enough to die at the hands of the enemy, don't worry, I promise, if you and someone unfortunately die, your family will live better than now." ”

"The subordinates (subordinates) are willing to fight the enemy to the death."

"Fight the enemy to the death!" Without any worries, the ashigaru people present burst out with an amazing momentum.

"I will go out with you in this battle, and the success and defeat will be achieved in this move, and I hope that you can move forward bravely and win a good future."

"Lord, there is danger outside the city, please also ask the lord to sit in the city, with me and others, the enemy will definitely be defeated." Although the clan decided to go out of battle despite the dissuasion of the retainers at the meeting just now, the retainers still couldn't help but try, after all, the enemy was too strong.

The clan just shook his head, how could the things he had set could be easily changed by others.

Seeing that the morale had been raised to the peak, the clan sect no longer talked nonsense, turned over the horse, pulled out the waist of Muramasa, and pointed forward, "The enemy is in front of you, please take out your courage, and rush with me!" After saying that, he grabbed the horse's belly and rushed out of the city.

And those ashigaru on the city wall watched the army go out of the city, and all that was left in their eyes was envy, but their envious gaze quickly calmed down, because defending the city is also a heavy responsibility, and if there is a problem in the rear city when the battle results are achieved in the front, then the consequences are unimaginable.

Although the clan clan gave the ashigaru the greatest hope in their lives in order to boost morale, it is not so simple to accomplish it, becoming a samurai is the dream of most people, and now the ladder of promotion is also in front of them, but they know that it is not so easy to get these benefits.

Win over the enemy? You don't have to think about it, Ashigaru's training is mostly against each other, and his personal martial arts have not been strengthened much at all, so if he wants to kill the enemy with his own strength, it can't be said that it is impossible at all, but it is also very small. …,

And cut off the heads of five monks? It seems easy, but it's not so easy, the enemy is not a scarecrow, let yourself go under the knife, and with their lifeless style of play, let alone kill the enemy, even if you can save your own life.

As for the easiest way, it is to kill ten peasant soldiers, but the problem arises again, among the opponent's army, the number of peasant soldiers is not large, and these people often see that things are not good, they will flee first, and it is simply an impossible task to gather ten heads.

So in general, the clan estimates that it is absolutely impossible for the banner Ashigaru to be promoted more than ten, and this is still more than that, this is also no way, if it does not involve the Oda army, he can relax some requirements, after all, it is necessary to consider Oda Nobunaga's feelings are not, if the real war, let the Oda family emerge hundreds of samurai, then I don't know how Nobunaga will see himself, as his power becomes heavier, he must also consider Nobunaga's feelings, if he does not act very much, it will cause Nobunaga's suspicion, there are some gains that are lost infrequently.

Therefore, for the Oda family's Ashigaru, the only benefit that can be obtained is that the head of an enemy can be exchanged for a gold judgment.

However, the matter of cultivating the flag warriors under his command, the clan has been thinking about it, after all, the flag warriors are still very useful, although there is nothing to see now, but the clan knows that as the scale of the war in the future becomes larger and larger, they can act as their own guards in peacetime, and once the lower-level samurai are killed and injured in the big war, then they can be replenished immediately with the flag samurai.

This is by no means alarmist, the proportion of lower-level samurai killed in the battlefield is still quite high, the family has developed from scratch to the present, it has always been a deformed development, this is because he only paid attention to the famous samurai before, and forgot to recruit and train the lower-level samurai, when the family business is small and the army is small, it can't be seen, a radish and a pit, and the retainers have arrangements, but once the army under his command expands, then even if they have the ability, I'm afraid they won't be able to command. And this problem needs to be solved more and more over time, otherwise the day when the Takayama family develops will also be the day of destruction. (To be continued.)
