Late at night, Wasuka Masakatsu led 20 of the best of the ninja army to leave the big tent and head towards Unuma Castle, the reason why he only led 20 ninjas to steal the city was because he thought of the enemy in the city, there were many people, if there were too many ninja troops, it would be easier to be discovered by the enemy, and when the time came, he would not be able to complete the task of the main bus, so what face would he have to brag about in front of other retainers in the future.

For the speed of the ninja army, Unuma Castle is here in a blink of an eye, Wasuka Masakatsu is hidden on top of a tree, looking in the direction of the city, only to see the city wall, the lights are bright, inside the city wall, there are 5 ashigaru on each high oar, with the torches on the city wall, you can clearly see that they are constantly looking around.

Seeing that the enemy in the city had already prepared, Wasuka Masakatsu couldn't help frowning, this city may not be able to carry out a sneak attack, but if he retreats now and reports directly to the lord, it will be too embarrassing, and it is only night, and there are still more than two hours before dawn, so Wasuka Masakatsu intends to continue to wait here to find the opportunity.

Sure enough, as he thought, after an hour, the garrison in the city began to relax, after all, the defenders of the city were basically peasant soldiers, and there was no discipline at all. Seeing that most of the enemies defending the castle had already leaned on the castle and entered Yumeka, he didn't wait any longer, he slowly got up from the tree and shook the branch in his hand that was covered with leaves.

As soon as the branches shook, he saw that there was movement in a dozen trees not far from him, and all twenty ninjas immediately stood up and looked at Wasuka Masakatsu, waiting for him to give an order.

After pointing at Unuma Castle with his hand, Wasuka Masakatsu jumped down from the tree first, avoiding the gaze of the enemies defending the castle while walking through the trees. This time, he chose to sneak into the castle from the western wall of Unuma Castle, because it was the closest to the castle tower, and in his opinion, as long as the castle tower was occupied and the main general of the castle was killed, then the castle could be regarded as a capture.

However, although his idea was good, as soon as he sneaked into the city, he heard the defenders of the city shouting: "Someone steals the city, hurry, don't let them escape." ”

"Go and tell your lord!"

"Ha Luha, you have already fallen for the plan of Lord Toki Shuji, take your life quickly." The castle ashigaru ran briskly towards them, shouting loudly,

Wasuka Masakatsu and others only saw the defenders on the city wall, but they couldn't see the situation in the city at all, when they turned into the city, only to find that this small city, has been crowded with standing or sitting ashigaru, Wasuka Masakatsu saw this, knowing that the sneak attack had failed, so no longer hesitated, shouted retreat, immediately climbed out of the city wall, rushed towards the Oda military camp.

And the other twenty ninjas did not hesitate at all after receiving the order to retreat, and immediately climbed over the wall and left, but there were two ninjas who were a little slower than half a beat, and they were about to turn out, but they were dragged down by the enemy, and they saw that they couldn't run, so after the two looked at each other, they pulled out their ninja knives and rushed towards the enemy.

In Unuma Castle, although it was already late at night, none of the four samurai including Jiro Osawa had left the castle tower, and even if they wanted to sleep at this critical juncture, it was impossible for them to sleep.

Just when they had nothing to say, they heard the shouts from the castle, and the four samurai immediately drew their swords, ran out of the castle tower, and headed towards the castle walls, but when they arrived, the battle was over. In addition to the corpses of a dozen ashigaru people on the ground, there are also two ninjas with different heads.

Seeing this scene, Jiro Osawa couldn't help but say to Toki Shuji with appreciation: "If Heizaburo hadn't thought that the enemy would attack the city this time, it would have been difficult to report the city, and after defeating the enemy army, there would be a heavy reward." Ha Lu Ha. ”

"Thank you, my lord." Toki Shuji hurriedly said respectfully.

"Now that the enemy has retreated, I don't think there should be any more danger tonight, the ashigaru people are already tired after a day of fighting, so it is better to let them all rest." One of the samurai said.

Hideji Toki wanted to persuade the lord not to relax his defense, but after seeing that the lord had already nodded, and thinking that the Takayama clan would not use the same strategy twice in one day, he did not speak.

Not only did the samurai in Unuma Castle not sleep, but even the clan clan did not sleep, he sat in the big tent, waiting for news of Wasuka Masakatsu, and as time passed, a sense of foreboding rose in his heart. ,

Just when the clan was thinking wildly, he suddenly heard a report from a flag book outside the tent: "Newspaper, the lord, Lord Beesuka, and the ninja army have returned." ”

As soon as he heard this, the clan already knew that stealing the city this time was a failure. Otherwise, how could Wasuka Masakatsu personally return with the ninja army, failure doesn't matter to the clan, it's okay to think of other ways in the future, as long as people don't have trouble, after all, there are not too many powerful retainers under him.

It didn't take long for Wasuka Masakatsu to walk into the big tent with a depressed face, kneel on the ground and say, "My lord, the city is well defended, and my subordinates not only failed to succeed, but instead lost two ninjas, and asked the lord to punish him." ”

Heavily defended? Could it be that the enemy has already thought that he will send someone to steal the city tonight? The clan thought about it carefully, how could Jiro Osawa be just a third- or fourth-rate small character, and he could have such resourcefulness. Is it difficult that he is a talent buried in history? The clan couldn't help but think that if this was the case, then it would be time to consider recruiting him as a retainer.

The clan didn't mention the punishment, after all, the failure of the sneak attack couldn't be blamed entirely on Wasuka Masakatsu, so he just heard him ask: "Masakatsu, what is the ability of this Osawa Jiro?" ”

"Back to the lord, although this Osawa Jiro is not a mediocre person, he is definitely not a talent, but there is a retainer named Toki Shuji under his command, and his subordinates have heard of it, although this person is not skilled in martial arts, but he is extremely shrewd, and the reason why this sneak attack failed is because Osawa Jiro adopted his advice."

Shuji Toki? The clan thought about it, he had never heard of this name, but when he thought that he would be planted in the hands of such an unknown samurai, it seems that he should also have some resourcefulness, isn't this kind of talent exactly what he needs, and Wasuka Masakatsu is arrogant, and rarely praises others, and he must have some ability to make him open his mouth to praise. Suddenly, the meaning of love for talent rose in the heart of the clan.
