And the clan didn't bother to say more to him, only to see him turn over and dismount, come to a stone platform, take out the map from his arms, pounce on it, and with the help of the fire, began to study the next move.

Although the cavalry under the command of Watanabe Mamotsuna and Hori Hidemasa was less than 200 in total, after they lit the torches, they were divided into 20 squads, so although it was not long and no flammable materials such as grease were found, about 20% of the buildings were still set on fire, and they invariably avoided the city gate so as not to cut off their own survival.

If the fire in the city has not started, and the people of the Miyoshi family can still hold their breath, then when the buildings in the city are burning, even if Miyoshi Yasunaga can still be calm, but the other Miyoshi family samurai can no longer hold their breath.

As soon as the buildings in the castle were set on fire, the samurai who were guarding each floor of the castle tower all gave up their posts and walked towards Yasunaga Miyoshi, who was at the gate.

As soon as one of the samurai came closer, he said impatiently: "Lord Miyoshi's enemy has begun to set fire to the city, why don't you order Ashigaru to kill, if you go out to fight the Takayama army, then this Isaimori Castle is probably going to be burned to ruins by the enemy, what is the use of holding this castle tower, after the lord returns with the army, what face do we have to meet with the lord, so I think that we must kill out of the army and defeat the enemy, and I am willing to lead the army to fight in person, Please decide. ”

After he finished speaking, he heard another samurai also speak: "My lord, I thought that the Takayama army outside the castle tower should have relaxed when they saw that we had no intention of going to war, and this is the time to fight, and the Takayama clan is currently outside the castle tower, if the enemy is unprepared to lead the army to kill the army at this moment, it will definitely be able to take the Takayama clan, but if it is killed, then the Takayama army will be chaotic, and there is no reason not to retreat, now it is an emergency, and it must not be delayed, please think twice." ”

"Lord Miyoshi, what the two adults said is reasonable, now the city is on fire, if it is killed now, then if the mountain army can be repelled now, the fire can be controlled, if it is later, then this fire will no longer be controllable, this is the lord's residence city, if the city is burned down because we can't shrink out, then we can only apologize to the lord, this is not only related to the safety of Iimori City, but also related to our reputation, so I think · We must not wait and see, we should fight immediately, even if we die, we must die vigorously, and we must have the trust of the lord.

My lord, I must not continue to hesitate any longer, and I would like to give you an order, and I am willing to lead the army to kill the castle tower and kill the Takayama clan to save the defeat. ”

"Everyone below is willing to fight, and please decide."

"You... Haven't you seen that the Takayama army outside the castle tower is a long-range attacker, and if you rush out of the castle tower, you may lose a lot of combat power before you reach the enemy, and who will defend it then?

Speaking of this, I only heard Miyoshi Yasucho speak again: "Please think about it calmly, the reason why the Takayama Clan Sect ordered the troops under its command to set fire to the city is to provoke us and let us go out to fight against it, if we give up the castle tower and don't defend it, and lead the army to kill it, we will fall into the ghost plan of the Takayama Clan, the elite of the Takayama Army is the civilization of the world, even if all the 500 troops in the Takayama Clan are killed, it is not necessarily its opponent, and if the whole army is wiped out, who will defend it?"

Moreover, as long as the castle tower is not lost, this Imori Castle will not be breached, otherwise once the castle is breached, then the reputation of the Miyoshi family will be completely over, and at that time, the morale of the main family will be low, and how can they withstand the attack of the Oda family's army. …,

Also, Iimori Castle is the hinterland of the family, and soon reinforcements will arrive, and then the Takayama army will inevitably retreat, even if the city is destroyed, it will soon be rebuilt with the financial resources of the family, and it is a great achievement for us to be able to hold the city, so how can the lord blame it, so I think it is better to hold on and wait for help. ”

Although what Yasunaga Miyoshi said was reasonable, and it was the only way to keep Iimori Castle, the three samurai were already carried away by anger and wanted to rush out of the castle tower to fight the Takayama army, how could they listen to it.

Every time one more building in the city was ignited, the anger in their hearts would increase by one point, and it could be said that what Yasucho Miyoshi had just said was in vain.

I only heard one of the samurai speak again: "Lord Miyoshi, I think that if you don't fight at this moment, if you let others know the way, you will definitely be laughed at by the world, even if you hold the city, the prestige of the family will be greatly reduced, so it is better to take advantage of the high morale of the ashigaru in the city now, and ask for the battle heart, kill the castle tower, and guarantee that as long as the army is killed, the Takayama clan will be killed, and please ask for your approval." And after he finished speaking, the other two samurai also asked for battle.

Seeing that what he had just said was in vain, Sanhao Kang Chang couldn't help but say unhappily: "When the lord led the army to leave, he ordered me to be the general who defended the city, you can just obey the order, I have no will, no need to say more." ”

The three of them saw that Miyoshi Yasucho was oppressing people with power, and couldn't help but be angry, they did this for the sake of Miyoshi's family, if the city was burned to the ground, even if this castle tower was still in his hands, what was the use of Miyoshi Yasunaga's age, not only people became confused, but even his courage was small, and he was afraid of the enemy like a tiger and how could it be the idea that a samurai should have.

Besides, the mountain army is just better equipped, but the Miyoshi army is not vegetarian, so this time we have to compete with it.

Thinking of this, I saw that the three samurai glanced at each other, and then said in unison: "Since Miyoshi-sama is determined to defend in the castle tower, then the three of us can only lead the troops under the command of each character to fight." ”

Although they disagree with Miyoshi Yasucho on the issue of defense and playing, but after all, his identity is much higher than that of the three of them, and he is a member of the main family, so there is no need for him to turn his face with him for this matter, so although they are resolute, they do not mean to belittle Miyoshi Yasunaga.

After speaking, the three of them didn't wait for Yasunaga Miyoshi to speak, and immediately gathered their subordinates and prepared to fight.

However, since these three were all lower-middle-level samurai, the number of ashigaru under their command was very limited, and even if the three of them were combined, there were only fifty.
