Endo Morishu saw that the Takayama army was too elite, and thought that the Gujo Hachiman Castle might be lost because of this, and suddenly became timid, but in North America, anyone can submit to the Oda family, but he can't, this time the Takayama clan received an order from Nobunaga to capture the Gujo Hachiman Castle, even if he immediately declared his allegiance to Oda Nobunaga, the territory is not guaranteed, at most Nobunaga will only give himself a barren and narrow Zhixing, and even after his own submission, it is not impossible to kill himself directly. With Oda Nobunaga's character, he can do such a thing.

Rather than end up with the destruction of the family name and the loss of the territory, it is better to give it a go, and now the direct command of the Takayama clan is not here, and the Takayama reinforcements on the battlefield are tired, and they can take advantage of the situation to kill, and after repelling the Takayama clan, they will go to rescue the gunjo Hachiman Castle. But Endo Morishu thought about it, instead of fighting to the death with the enemy reinforcements here, it would be better to return to Gujo Hachiman Castle immediately, and first destroy the ninja army and iron thorn cavalry under the command of the Takayama clan, so that even if these reinforcements go to attack the city, Gujo Hachiman Castle still has the possibility of defending.

If he can win by luck this time, and then show his allegiance to the Oda family on the condition of keeping his current territory, this is also his only way out, like the dream of unifying the world, Endo Morishu said that he didn't dare to think about it anymore. Now his greatest wish is to protect the eight thousand stone Zhixing of Hachiman Castle in the main county.

Seeing that the battle ahead was tight, and seeing that the lord's behavior was abnormal, one of the retainers said anxiously and loudly: "My lord, the Hao clan coalition army on the battlefield ahead will not be able to hold on, if you don't lead the army to attack behind the enemy, this battle will definitely be lost, and I ask the lord to give an order." ”

Endo Morishu had also come to his senses at this time, how could he still care about the life and death of those wealthy coalition troops now, it was the most important thing to be able to keep the county Hachiman Castle, just heard him say: "Don't care about those wealthy clans, time is pressing, I order, the whole army immediately returns to the county Hachiman Castle." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, another of his warriors spoke, "This ...... Lord, you must not return to the army now, otherwise it will hinder the reputation of the lord, and please think twice. ”

"Fame? The county of Hachiman Castle has been lost, what is the use of reputation, don't talk nonsense, quickly return to the army to rescue, if there is any persuasion, it will not be forgiven. ”

After Endo Morishu finished speaking coldly, before the retainers could speak, he had already turned over his horse, waved the whip in his hand, and galloped away. Now he only prayed that the Takayama army had not captured Hachiman Castle in the county, although he was afraid that the army would be disheartened, and did not explain it directly, but the samurai present had already figured it out to some extent, if the Takayama clan clan could really succeed in the sneak attack, then these samurai under their command would become rootless duckweed, so thinking of this, no one would continue to persuade them, and they all turned over and followed Endo Morishu.

After discovering the ambush place of the Endo Morishu army, Wasuka Masakatsu and a hundred ninjas did not casually find a place where they could hide their bodies to ambush, but chose the ambush location at the foot of a mountain on the road to Gujo Hachiman Castle, where not only can you see the every move of the Endo army, but this is also caused by Wasuka Masakatsu's selfishness.

In his eyes, even if the enemy has an ambush, it must not be the opponent of the lord, if the enemy retreats, in case Endo Morishu is not killed on the battlefield, then he will inevitably take this path, as long as he leaves a few ninjas to wait like this, he can be captured.

But who would have thought that Endo Morishu did not lead the army to kill, and actually chose to retreat directly, if it weren't for Wasuka Masakatsu who was ambushing here, otherwise he would have really fled.

When Wasuka Masakatsu was in ambush, he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and he had been staring at Endo Morishu's every move with full attention, and when he just stood up and pulled out the sword, he immediately said to a ninja beside him: "Go and inform the lord, just say that Endo Morishu is going to act, and report his hiding place to the lord, so that the lord is ready to fight, go quickly." "Now Wasuka Masakatsu still doesn't know what to say, Endo Morishu doesn't want to send an army to sneak attack, but is already preparing to wave the army away. …,

After the ninja replied, he did not run directly to the battlefield in front of him, but walked through the woods at the foot of the mountain, which may be a little slower, but it was not easy to be detected by the enemy who was ambushing, lest Endo Morishu be prepared.

Seeing that he was so careful, Wasuka Masakatsu couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, it seemed that his strict training with them still had some results.

Before Endo Morishu left, the ninja had already passed through the childish knife and came to the front of the clan, only to see him hurriedly salute and say: "Report, lord, Endo Morishu is in ambush behind the mountain, and is about to lead the army to kill, please prepare early." After speaking, he did not use his hands to guide the clan, but looked in the direction of Endo Morishu with his eyes.

Following the direction he pointed, the clan looked sideways at the hill that was not too high, only to see the clan smiling slightly, and said to himself: "Are you finally willing to move, Lao Tzu has been waiting for a long time." ”

However, when the clan saw that all the samurai had rushed to the front, and the enemy was in a big battle, he couldn't be adjusted, and he saw that Maeda Keiji was looking at the front with his fists clenched next to him, and he couldn't help but say, "Keiji"

"Ah, my lord, my subordinates are here, please give my lord's orders." Keiji Maeda didn't expect the main guild to call his name, and after being stunned for a moment, he replied.

"You immediately led the Maeda family's forces to attack behind the ambush. There must be no mistakes. Clan Zong said solemnly.

At this moment, Maeda Keiji is thinking about finding a reason to fight, but he didn't expect the lord to open his mouth and call himself to lead an army alone, and attack the enemy's ambush, which is a great news for him, if he can win the number of Endo this time, and make a great contribution, I'm afraid this close servant is also the end of the job, according to the lord's generosity, maybe he will be promoted two levels in a row, and he may not be directly promoted to the head of the ashigaru general, alas, to say that the work of this close servant, it is really not done by people, others eat meat, and they can't even drink soup, And if you are called back and forth, not to mention it, a person can scold you, how can this young master endure it, but it will be fine in the future, and when he gets rid of the broken identity of this close servant, he will not have to suffer this crime again......

Seeing that he not only did not receive the order, but we smirked on the spot, and couldn't help but be furious: "Bastard, what kind of dream are you doing, don't hurry up and lead the army forward, if there is any mistake in this army, you are asking, don't let me hurry up." After speaking, the clan clan slammed a chestnut on Maeda Keiji's skull.

After Maeda Keiji felt a sharp pain coming from the top of his head, he came to his senses and hurriedly said: "It's the lord, the subordinates will do it, you just wait for the news of the victory of the subordinates." As soon as the words fell, Maeda Keiji turned his horse's head and quickly left the battlefield with Maeda's army.

Keiji Maeda led more than a hundred Maeda troops so swaggeringly and blatantly rushed to Endo Morishu and left......
