The teacher himself also complained a little about himself, how could he make such a gaffe that shook the morale of the army at such a critical moment! Could it be that I am already old and have no bearing power when I am just over 40? Fortunately, in addition to the generals here, they are their own personal soldiers, otherwise this move will spread and this battle will not have to be fought! You must know that with the development of the Hatano family from a small wealthy family to the daimyo of the two countries today, how many births and deaths have been experienced, and they have become a banner of confidence in the army.

"What the hell is going on? Who attacked Kenbe Mountain Castle? After being held up by the attendants behind him, the Tsukai Kyoye quickly stabilized his mood and began to ask about the loss of the mountain castle of Jianbu. He didn't believe that the little men and horses infiltrated by the Oda army could seize the city, could it be that the wealthy clans of Tango had rebelled?

"Your Excellency......," said the herald, pale. A group of ninja soldiers of the Oda Army disguised themselves as stragglers of our army and took advantage of the chaos to infiltrate the castle. That night, they set fire to the city and opened the gates, and the enemy troops who were lying in ambush outside the city ...... Just ......"

"How many people are there in the Oda army that occupies Kenbu Mountain Castle?" At present, the authenticity of this news is beyond doubt, and it is now up to us to decide whether it can be recaptured.

"About 2,000 ......"

"2,000 people?!" Kamata Toshimasa was shocked.

Although he managed to maintain his composure, the shock in the heart of the Shikai sect was no less than that of Kamata Toshimasa. The strength of the Star Tribe's ninjas and ninja armies was quite powerful, which he had known for a long time, but he definitely didn't expect them to have such a large scale. A ninja army of 2,000 people has no problem fighting independently on the battlefield, let alone in an unconventional environment! "Alright, you go down!" He sent the herald away.

"Your Excellency, look......" Takatsu Nagashishi leaned over.

"Everyone go back and stick to their posts!" The Onii Kyoye turned to the others and ordered loudly, and then added sternly: "Whoever dares to spread this news will be killed immediately!" ”

"Yes!" The generals left with different moods, and I am afraid that many will have to endure sleepless nights for the next few days.

"Come on!" After the generals left, Shikai Kyoye called one of his attendants to a corner where no one was around, and said in a very low voice, "You immediately return to Tanba in disguise, find Naomasa Akai and Master Hatano Sotaka and tell them......"

After everything was arranged, the Shikai sect leaned weakly on the body of the "big tube". The reason why he ignored Takatsu Nagashi's suggestion was because it was absolutely stupid to counterattack Kenbu Yamashiro at this time. Since the Zhuxing Qing clan has arranged such a thorough plan, it will definitely not have a clear understanding of the strength of the Tango Hataye army! Once they led their heavy troops back to Jianbu Mountain City, they would immediately storm Fengshan City, and it was absolutely impossible to hold it with their strength, military morale, and morale at this time. At that time, not only would he face the danger of being flanked by the front and back, but even the terrifying "Star Armor Rider" would be as unstoppable as a flood beast. Now I can only hope to maintain the situation and wait for reinforcements from the Tanbo side, and the 2,000 enemy troops in Jianbu Mountain City are not enough to divide the troops to expand the results of the battle!

****************************************************

Shinoi Kyoye couldn't get the help of the gods this time, and what he was most worried about still happened! In just two days, the news of the loss of Kenbu Mountain City spread like a plague throughout the city.

As long as you walk out on the street, you can see three or five people gathered together and muttering, and as long as a samurai passes by, they will disperse as if nothing happened. Because the soldiers of Jianbu Mountain Castle are stationed for a long time and are at the forefront of the border with the enemy, there are many civilians who are "military dependents" living in the city, which makes the speed of the spread of true and false news more and more uncontrollable.

"Have you heard? The mountain castle of Jianbu has been lost! Soldier A, who was standing guard in a remote corner of the granary, said to his two companions, and he was surprised by the news, but he didn't seem to be very worried.

"You just knew!" Soldier B pursed his lips, showing a certain amount of contempt for his companion's loneliness. "Yesterday when I went out of the city to transport grain......"

"Why can you still get out of the city at this time?!" The two companions were shocked by their companion's unbelievable behavior.

"What's so strange about this!" Soldier B became more confident because of his companion's behavior. "The Oda army outside the castle has retreated to the east after demolishing the nearby branch castles, and there are no more enemies outside the castle to the west!"

"Oh! It was only then that the two companions "suddenly realized" that they had heard of some cases ......of the "passive" siege of the city by the Oda army.

"What do you see? Tell me about it! Soldier C anxiously urged that he had two relatives outside the city.

"You're fooling around!" Soldier B grumbled and continued the conversation. “…… Now I don't know when it will become a full-scale siege, so the order from above is to hurry up and collect food. Yesterday I went out of the castle with Tatsuji Nakano, and I met a large number of refugees from Kenbe Mountain Castle. I quietly inquired, and the Jianbu Mountain City was indeed lost! It is said that the soldiers of the Oda Army burned all over the castle at that time, and the fire burned for two days......"

"Fire?! That's not right, right! Soldier A frowned, seeming to have a different opinion. Could the Oda Army be so ferocious? I don't think so! In the past few years, we have fought many battles with the Oda army, and they have invaded Tango more than once, but I have never heard of them harassing the people! He leaned his head forward again and said in a very small voice, "I was caught by the Oda Army when I went out of the city a year ago, and they just asked me some questions!" ”

"And then?" Soldier C couldn't help but ask, and it could be seen that he was the most curious of the three.

"My position is so low, I naturally can't know about their problems!" Soldier A said helplessly. “…… But in this way, they didn't embarrass me, and gave me 200 yuan when they let me leave! ”

"That's pretty much what I knew before...... soldier C said to himself, looking at the sky with his eyes in the sky.

"That's it!" Soldier A said with a full of puzzlement: "So I always feel that it is impossible for the Oda army to do such a brutal thing, there must be something wrong here!" ”

"You have some truth in that!" Soldier B was also shaken by the news he had brought. "But yesterday, I obviously heard from those people who fled from the direction of Jianbu Mountain Castle......"

"What do you people know!" A voice suddenly sounded behind the trio, startling them. When I looked back, it turned out to be a man who looked like a man holding a wooden basin.

"You ......," Soldier A felt the need to ask.

"What you, mine!" The man interrupted him impatiently. "The adults from Tamba are here, and they need some japonica rice and white noodles! Go and pretend to be some, you can't afford to delay it! ”

"Yes, yes, yes......" Soldier B, who had a nimble mind, immediately took the tub, turned around and handed it to Soldier C. Although there are still some doubts, it is not impossible, and there are many people who don't know him from Jianbu Mountain City recently, and besides, his mind is not here at the moment. "Do you know the exact news from Kenbu Yamashiro? Tell us about it! He said with a look of anticipation.

"Those of you who have never left Mineyama City in your life just don't know anything, and you only know one thing about the Oda Army!" The man proudly found a clean place and sat down, and the three soldiers respectfully gathered around him. “…… Stationed in Wakasa is the old family of the Oda family, the Shisei clan, who is kind-hearted and loves the people like a son! Therefore, not only did he never exploit his subjects, but he also did not kill innocent people indiscriminately in battle......"

"I've heard of that, too!" Soldier C is guilty of the old habit of being in trouble. “…… One of my relatives lives in Wakasa, and not only does they never raise taxes, but they also provide relief in times of famine! Hey, if only we had caught up with such a lord here! ”

Soldier B glared at him and said flatteringly, "Ignore him, please continue!" ”

"But this time it's different......" The man's face changed to a look of "grief". "It was the troops of the Oda family who captured Kenbu Yamajo this time, and it is said that all the streets are already full of blood! I came here a few days ago, and I still don't know how my home is! ”

The three of them looked at each other, and none of them spoke.

"The Oda family doesn't know? …… General Oda Right doesn't know either? The man was extremely indignant at the lack of knowledge of these "turtles". "Oda Nobunaga, the 'Sixth Heavenly Demon King' who burned Mt. Hiei! Did You Know?! ”

"Hiss~~~!" The three audience members gasped collectively, and Soldier C even reached out and touched his neck.

"The good thing is...... Fortunately, it is not him who is attacking this time! Half a day later, Soldier A sighed.

"You idiots can't be saved!" The guy stood up angrily, as if he had given up on his efforts to "educate" these stupid people. "Go get what I want, I'm going back!"

"Big brother, don't be like us, please be sure to speak clearly!" Soldier B hurriedly grabbed him and winked at Soldier C. Soldier C hurried to a granary, and when he returned, the wooden basin was already filled with some fine grain.

"Why don't you think about it yourself...... the guy said with hatred of iron and steel, "When the rest of Danhou falls, can Fengshan City not be besieged?" What will Oda Nobunaga do to Mineyama Castle, which has held off his army for so long? Tell me for yourselves, will there be any living people left here then?! With that, he took the tub from Soldier C's hand and turned to walk outside.

The three soldiers stood there blankly, their faces the color of dead ash.

"I don't know what I did in my last life! As a Tango, why do you want to send the Tanba people to death......" The man's self-talk came clearly from there.

The three soldiers looked at each other, their heads together and muttered again.

The "fellow" walked to a place where no one was, put down the tub and changed into another outfit......
