For Honda Masanobu, transferring so many troops at once is not a risk at all, as long as it is properly arranged, then this matter is still very feasible.

However, when he had just made arrangements for the Uesugi army, he only heard Uesugi Keikatsu hurriedly say: "Lord Honda, there is no problem in acting like this under the command of the army, but it is really difficult for those who rely on the flag to prepare properly today, not to mention the tens of thousands of flags of the four families, it is only the five thousand Shibata family flags that are needed tomorrow, and I am afraid it will be difficult to get together, so ......" He wanted to say that although Honda Masanobu had a good idea, it was too ideal, and it was easy to say, but if it was really implemented, it would be difficult, But after all, the other party is the main general, and he is not easy to say clearly, so he stops immediately after saying it, but with the wisdom of Honda Masashinobu, the other party must have understood what he meant.

And when he finished speaking, he saw Honda Masanobu smile slightly, and said: "What's so difficult about this matter, adults can prepare more blank paper, and then distribute it to each of the five thousand ashigaru, and then start to paint, anyway, this place is hundreds of meters away from Kasuga Mountain City, how can the other party see these details, then the adults only need to put the good ashigaru painted by the flag in the forefront, and the rest follow behind, and the other party can't tell the truth from the fake under the panic." ”

Uesugi Jingsheng's eyes lit up after hearing this, yes, it was all fake before, and the purpose was to put more pressure on Jinghu in the city, so that he didn't dare to lead the army out of the city. And so it goes. That's a lot easier.

Seeing Uesugi Keikatsu is not in a quandary. I only listened to Honda Masanobu and instructed Ishikawa Goemon again: "Lord Ishikawa, from tonight, you will scatter your ninja army around Kasuga Mountain Castle, every inch of land around Kasuga Mountain Castle needs to be guarded, if anyone steals out of the city, kill them immediately, and never let them get close to our military fortifications." You can do it. Honda Masanobu said as he looked like Ishikawa Goemon. Since he wanted to confuse the other party, of course he thought of this loophole, at this moment, although the coalition army of the family trapped the enemy in the city, but it was only limited to the opponent's army and could not move, but the place wanted to sneak out of the city A few people can still be done, after all, a large number of troops of the family and Uesugi are concentrated near the three city gates, and the control of the perimeter of the city wall is really powerless, so once the other party goes out of the city to investigate. Then the reality of the coalition will also be seen through by the other party, and the failure of their own strategy is small. And let the other party turn defeat into victory, then the responsibility is not something he can shirk, so he has to send a ninja army to take charge of this matter. With the ability of his family's three thousand ninja army, once it is reduced to zero, he can completely block Kasuga Mountain City, which he is still very confident in.

For such a task, there was no difficulty for Ishikawa Goemon at all, so he didn't think about it, so he said directly: "Please rest assured, the military advisor will live up to the trust of the military advisor." ”

"Good! Now that the military situation here has been arranged, now I will announce the battle situation, and Wasuka is victorious! ”

"Your subordinates are here, please give orders to the military advisor!" Wasuka Masakatsu didn't expect the military advisor to be the first to call his name, and he couldn't help but quickly replied, and at this moment he was overjoyed, the first to call himself, that can only mean one thing, that is, the main general who went to block Hojo Shirabi was none other than himself.

Sure enough, just as he thought, he only listened to Honda Masanobu continue: "I appointed you to block the main general of Hakubei under the command of Kasahara Yasukatsu for this time, and this time, the two spear ashigaru teams, the bow team, and the other three armies are all at your disposal. And for the time being, I will give you full powers, and you can take full responsibility for going to war. I have only one request for you, and that is to annihilate Hojo Hakubei, you can do it? ”

Honda Masanosin let Wasuka Masakatsu serve as the main general or after some thought, first of all, Bee Suga Masakatsu has followed the lord for many years, not only deep trust of the lord, but also the prestige among the retainers of the family is unparalleled, by him as the chief general will never appear to be dissatisfied, this is undoubtedly the most important point for the command, the other party does not even obey you, even if you listen to your dispatch, it will not be sincere, in this way, how to talk about the command such as an arm, the other party is the elite of Hojo, once there is a problem with the command, The outcome is really unpredictable, of course, Maeda Toshiya, Watanabe Moritsuna is not inferior to Wasuka Masakatsu in the prestige of the family, if you just take this into account, then the two of them also have the qualifications to serve as the main general, but Honda Masanobu and his three colleagues for many years, know the character of the three of them very well, Maeda Toshiya and Watanabe Moritsuna are both brave and abnormal, but the problem is that the two of them are too upright, yes is integrity, in this way, they can't use many means, and the command lacks variability, And this time, don't look at the family dispatched more than 20,000 troops, but most of them are newly recruited Ashigaru, if you use normal means, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult to achieve the total annihilation of Hojo Shirabi, Bee Suga Masakatsu is different from them It can be said that since following the lord, especially in the family, it can be said that the dirty work on the battlefield is basically under the command of Bee Suka, which makes him gradually form a flexible style in command, only this point, he is stronger than Maeda and Watanabe in terms of command, And this time to block Hojo, what he wants is annihilation, and I'm afraid that among the people present, only Masakatsu Bee Suga can complete this goal. As for Katsusuke Tanaka, Keiren Omiya, and Yuhei Ito as the main generals? Honda Masatin didn't even think about it, the three of them didn't talk about subduing others, just now the three of them were still comparable, if they were the main generals, they would be defeated for a while without fighting, and these three people were still a little tender, for the time being, only generals and no handsome.

"Please rest assured that the commander will live up to the trust of the military advisor." Wasuka Masakatsu replied confidently. This kind of self-confidence comes from the heart, this time he is leading more than 20,000 troops to destroy the enemy's 8,000 troops, such a rich battle since he came out of the Gao Shan family, he has never fought it, in the past, the army of the family was in an absolute weakness, he could encircle and annihilate the enemy, and now the army under his command is nearly three times as much as the enemy, if he let the other party run, then he still has the face of the lord and military advisor, of course, he has learned the elite of the five colors. So although there are such thoughts. But it does not affect the importance he attaches to the enemy. Especially when there are a large number of recruits under his command, and the other party is the elite of a hundred battles, he will not have any carelessness.

Later, Honda Masanobu arranged Maeda Toshiya as the deputy general, Watanabe Moritsuna was responsible for supervising the Ashigaru family for the military eye, and Yamauchi Kazutoyo was responsible for the transportation of small lotus packs, etc., and the military discussion was dispersed.

After nightfall, I look out of the castle from the middle of the mountain castle in Kasuga, and I see only a few hundred meters outside the castle. The fire was bright, but even so, it was impossible to see the enemy forces outside the city, so since the decision to cage the castle and wait for reinforcements, Uesugi Keitora could only send some good-eyed samurai to the top of the castle to keep an eye on the other party's movements.

It's just that these people can still only see a rough idea, so they don't notice anything about the departure of the Gao Shan Army from the rear at this moment.

They did not perceive the departure of the enemy outside the city, but the next day they found the forces coming from the west, if from the east and south. Then it's probably reinforcements, but it's coming from the west. You don't have to ask to know that you're definitely not here to help yourself. Sure enough, as the army of thousands of people got closer and closer, they saw a big banner embroidered with the gold pattern of the two geese of the Shibata family in front of this army. This was definitely not a good thing for them, so one of the samurai immediately went to the castle tower to report the matter.

At this moment, in the Kasuga Mountain City Castle Castle Tower, Jinghu, Utsunomiya Kunitsuna, Yuki Haruhuna and some of the lords of the wealthy clan who used more than 5,000 stone were discussing in the assessment room, and since the appearance of the Takayama family ninja army yesterday, they have never left here, they know very well the ability of the Takayama family ninja army, this is definitely the most elite army of the Takayama family, there is no one, don't look at them There are only 3,000 people, but the combat power they exert is enough to be worth 10,000 troops, if it is just like this, they are not afraid, After all, the reinforcements of the Hojo family are already on the way, and not only in the eight thousand white preparations in Shimono, Uesugi Jinghu believes that the Hojo clan will definitely not see death without help, after all, no matter who the Uesugi family falls to, it will cause great trouble to the other side, which is not only the Hojo clan and the Takayama clan can see, but Uesugi Jinghu himself is also clear in his heart, so at this moment, he can still maintain his composure. He thought that at this moment, the Hojo clan would send at least two elites to the rescue, so that even if the Takayama family ninja army arrived, he would have nothing to fear.

But he knows it in his heart, but it doesn't mean that those wealthy families can also see this clearly, when the Gaoshan family ninja army arrived, these wealthy family owners were completely panicked, for the Gaoshan family's ninja army, under countless rumors, has been mythologized, many wealthy family owners have heard of the Gaoshan family ninja army's combat ability is unparalleled, and what is more terrifying is the ability to steal the city, most of them have heard a sentence, that is, in front of the Gaoshan family ninja army, there is no city that cannot be opened, although this sentence is a bit exaggerated, but the well-informed wealthy people know, Such rumors are still basically true, and now he is trapped in this Kasuga Mountain City, once the other party sneaks into the city and becomes an enemy army, then ...... How serious the consequences will be, they don't dare to think about it anymore.

If these little wealthy families are just afraid, then Utsunomiya Kunitsuna and Yuki Haruhuna are regretting it at the moment, they are Hojo who has taken refuge in the infamy of betrayal, I thought that this would be able to save the name of the family, after all, once there is their own refuge, then the strength of the Hojo family is further, not only is it much stronger than the Takayama family in terms of strength, even if all the Takayama faction unites the army, Hojo will not fall behind, but who knows, after his own submission, not only did he not get preferential treatment, but became a tool of the Hojo family, The two of them are not foolish people, this time out of the army, you can completely see the attitude of the Hojo clan, he completely wants to use the hand of Takayama to weaken, or even eliminate himself, so as to achieve the goal of taking full control of the Kanto, this is an unacceptable thing for them, they voted for Hojo in order to protect the family's famous business, but judging from the attitude of the Hojo clan, it is very difficult for him to achieve such a goal.

At this time, both of them couldn't help but think of the days when they formed an alliance with Satake, although they were worried all day long, but there was still hope, especially after Takayama eliminated Takeda and was hostile to Hojo, if he didn't submit at that time, then how could there be today.

Just when everyone present had their own thoughts, suddenly a junior samurai walked in with a panicked face, and after saluting as fast as he could, he said: "Report to the lord, just now when my subordinates were observing the movement of the enemy army at the head of the city, they suddenly found that an army of 5,000 people was coming from the west. ”

"What! How is this possible, Shibata's army has just been defeated for a while, how can it be possible to dispatch an army of 5,000 people so quickly, the lord, there must be fraud in this matter, and please send someone out of the city to investigate immediately. Kurokawa Kiyomi, who was already loyal to Jinghu, immediately said, as a veteran of the battlefield, he had a lot of combat experience, and he didn't think that after the defeat just now, the Shibata army still had the ability to go out into the army, so he just listened to him speak immediately.

"What's impossible about this, now that the enemy has appeared outside the city, this number is real, if they are not the Shibata army, then may I ask Kurokawa-sama, who is in trouble with this army?" Utsunomiya Kunitsuna, as the chief general of the Hojo family's reinforcements, immediately retorted.

"This ......" Kurokawa Kiyomi was really speechless for a while, after all, he didn't think that the enemy army outside the city had so much courage to dare to withdraw so much at once, this was definitely too unreasonable.

However, he couldn't speak, but Hojo Takahiro, who was sitting next to him, took over the conversation, and only listened to him say: "As far as I know, this time the enemy's main general is Honda Masanobu, the military division of the Takayama family, this person is famous for his love of dangerous writing, maybe this Shibata army that came to the aid is the army under his command, in order to cause more pressure on us and others, thus causing division, once I wait for myself to mess up the battle first, then the victory or defeat will already be known." ”

I have to say that Hojo Takahiro still has some intelligence, and his words are tantamount to seeing through Honda Masanobu's strategy, although even he himself is only guessing, but he is undoubtedly right.

"Hojo-sama seems to be a little whimsical, since the lord said that the enemy army outside the castle was pretending, but I would like to ask your lord, what is the purpose of the other party's this? Now that we have been forced to cage the city, what is the need for the other party to do this, so according to the next guess, it must be that the other party must have learned that our reinforcements are coming, so they will ask Shibata for help, not to attack, but to block the reinforcements. Yuuki Harumasa immediately spoke.
