"Charge! …… Assassination! …… Stop! "Mayinhull shouted one succinct command after another in very stiff Japanese, and in no time at once they were executed accurately by 500 knights in substitute infantry armor! Looking at their uniform movements, it is hard to imagine that this training has not been started for less than a month.

"This is the real 'Iron Rider'!" Standing on the sidelines, I thought excitedly. Since coming into this world, I have seen many cavalry, including a number of so-called elites, but I dare say that none of them are as regularized as my cavalry! According to the ninjas who returned from Kai, even the Takeda family's "Akabi" could only manage to form a dense group when charging, and charging at high speed in a horizontal and vertical phalanx like the one in front of him is probably unimaginable even for Uesugi Kenshin.

"Lord, please wipe your sweat!" Behind him, Katsu Shima said with concern.

"Ghost weather!" I took the towel he handed me and wiped my cheeks, then cursed at the sun in the sky. Looking at the field again, although it is not very clear, it can also be imagined that training in thick armor under the hot sun of early July is really enough for people! Meinhull's military qualities were undoubtedly first-rate, but the rigid personality of the German nation was also brought into full play in him! He didn't agree to stop training under any circumstances, and it had to be high-intensity, even if it was my advice. Fortunately, only half of the war horses can only be trained in turns, otherwise it is absolutely inevitable that two deaths will occur in three days.

Turning his head to look to the other side, Keiji Maeda was leading the rest of the 500 people to practice slashing with swords and shields. After much consideration, I appointed him as the commander of this newly built cavalry, and finally ended his idle life, which was entirely out of a "good intention" to let him reach the conditions of the country as soon as possible!

At this time, there was a loud noise in the other coaching field, it was Philip and Tsuda Ichi were practicing the Iron Artillery Team, and I had come from there just now. Although I shipped all the 500 latest special iron cannons back to Ruojiang Castle, I only formed a 200-strong iron cannon team when I was compiling. This number is a quarter of the Iron Artillery Team directly under Oda Nobunaga, which is already a bit excessive with my current status, so it's better to keep a low profile! Since Ishikawa Tadatsuna had a few men who could use iron cannons, I allocated 10 to him.

"Back to Your Highness!" While I was thinking about what to do next, a herald came running. Since all the soldiers here were recruited at my own expense, they were theoretically not affiliated with the Oda family, but with me as the main father. "The messenger of the Oda Hall has arrived in the inner city!"

"It's you this time!" As soon as I arrived at the reception room, I saw Kazushi Nakamura, who was drinking tea there. "What's the bad luck of that? Say, I can stand it! I came up to him and sat down across the table.

"Be content!" He put down his teacup and rolled his eyes at me. "You don't have to listen to his scolding every day, and you have your own one-third of an acre. But what about me? I have to send you a letter on this hot day, I'm easy! ”

"Alright, let's get down to business!" I stopped him from playing with the subject. "When it's a big deal, let you return with a full load!"

"Nu! For you. Kazushi Nakamura took out a small sealing cylinder from his bosom and stuffed it into my hand.

I opened the lid and pulled out the order Oda Nobunaga had given me, and looked at it carefully. "It's only been a few days since this stopped, why is it making a fuss again?" After reading the letter, I complained. In the letter, Nobunaga said that in the near future, he would raise troops to attack the Kitabatake clan in Minami Ise, and that his subordinate generals would gather at Kuwana Castle in Kita-Ise on time, and that specific instructions would be conveyed by a messenger. This is an old tradition of the Oda family, where written orders are only used as proof, and are generally relayed by a messenger except for matters of extreme confidentiality. The reason why I complained was not that I was afraid (it was useless to be afraid), but that although my troops had recruited more than 6,000 people, the cavalry and iron artillery teams had not yet been trained! "Isn't that too me?" I put the letter on the table and tapped it with my fingers. "I'm going to Kuwana, but I'm going to pass through most of Ise, and most of it is enemy-occupied territory!"

"We thought of this question at the time...... Nakamura said, poured himself another cup of tea, and drank it cleanly. We fought for you, and then the lord relented. Your mission is to harass the enemy's western region, so if you see that the situation is not good, you can retreat to Yamato, and even if it is a battle, the situation is decided! Although Matsunaga Shu and Tsutsui Shunkei are not very reliable, they will not turn against us at this time. ”

"In the end, it's an old friend, this favor my loyal guards will definitely remember!" When I heard about this plan, my mood suddenly relaxed. "Why did the Kitabatake Gujiao provoke the lord again? With such a big fire all at once, you have to mobilize everyone! When I let go of my own affairs, I began to "care" about others again.

"You also know what happened to the last attack on Long Island, our lord is a lord who will take revenge!" He put his head close to me again and said in a very low voice, "And this time he is also looking for his own death, and the secret envoy he sent to Echizen Asakura Yoshikei has been caught by us!" In the letter, he slandered the lord as a cruel and tyrannical person, sent the general to Beijing because he wanted to control the world by himself, and said that he would call on the real loyal ministers to sweep away the traitors! It is said that Honganji Xianru also received such a letter, and no one else knows about it. ”

"If he had unified Ise 10 years ago, he might have had some hope, but now he ...... Can he still have a share of jumping? I burst out laughing. However...... "I kept my eyes on Kazuji Nakamura again." "Do you think the words in his letter are really 'slander'?"

"Ha, ha, ha、......" We looked at each other for a moment, then laughed out loud. Is there any need for us to discuss this kind of thing? ”

"It's too hot, you can rest here for two days!" I said as I called in the attendant to arrange room and board for him.

"No! I have to leave early tomorrow morning. He shook his head and drank another cup of tea. There are still two more to inform, and then they have to return to Qibu before the troops are dispatched! ”

"Okay! Then I won't keep you any longer. "After sending Nakamura to rest, I immediately recruited all the main retainers (and now I have quite a few low-level retainers)." It's certain to send troops, let's see how it should be arranged? I asked after the briefing.

"Judging by our specific situation at the moment, it is impossible to draw too many troops to Ise ......" said Kanosuke Yamanaka who spoke first. The Miyoshi family has been calm for a long time, and the actual ruler of the Hatakeyama family, Yuzo Shinko, has hooked up with them again, and now the power in our hands is already very tight! ”

"And the cavalry and iron artillery reserves have not yet been trained, and they cannot be put into battle at this time!" Takenaka Hanbei also made additions. "In the event of an accident, it is essential to have enough ashigaru!"

"No, not really!" Nagano said. "Judging from the order of Nobunaga, he obviously knows this as well, and after the main force of the Kitabatake family is thrown to the east, it will not actually take many people to harass the work!"

"That's good! This time, I personally led the troops, and the teacher's father and son stayed in ......."

"Lord!" Nagano immediately stopped me from what I was saying. "Xiao'er Yesheng has not made any achievements, and I hope that the lord can give him a chance this time!"

"Okay!" I thought about it and agreed to his request. "The teacher handles everything on behalf of the lord of Ruojiang City; Keiji and Ichishu assisted the teacher and continued to intensify the training of cavalry and iron artillery reserves; Xingsheng, Caizang, Shengmeng, and Yesheng each led 500 spears and arrows, and Ji Ji led 500 bows and arrows to follow me; Shigeji accompanied him as a military advisor, and Tsuru Chiyo acted together; Changxin continued to tighten his surveillance of the forces around Ruojiang Castle; Guangcheng led the Zhonggang Department out with the army, and everyone prepared as soon as possible! ”

"Yes!" The crowd responded in unison.

"Lord!" Nagano said suddenly. "Considering the strain speed of the Kitabatake family...... It's better for our department to send troops in 10 days! ”
