When he received Kamata Toshimasa's letter for help, he was having breakfast when he saw half of the chopsticks in his hand fall to the ground! As a famous general in the West known as the "Blue Ghost", Shinoi Kyoye naturally has a strong sensitivity to war, and at this moment he feels extremely bad, which is the uneasiness of the lack of certainty about the entire battle situation as a commander. Therefore, without waiting for the meal to be finished, he sent someone to find his two subordinates, Kurosaka Morihide and Takatsu Nagashi.

"Your Excellency, are you looking for us?" After receiving the order from the commander-in-chief, the two subordinates rushed over very quickly.

"Something happened in Fengshan City...... "Shionii Jiaoye finally ate up the rice grains in the bowl, and it was his habit for many years not to waste any resources. After wiping his mouth with a hand towel, he picked up the letter and handed it to his two men. As he waited for the two of them, he had calmed himself down. "Look at Kamata's letter!"

Mamohide Kurosaka and Takatsu Nagashishi glanced at each other after reading the letter, and then looked at the main general together.

"Tell me what you think about this!" Shinoi picked up the tea handed by the attendant, and stared at the heat rising from the teacup.

"This time...... It seems to be a little different than ever! Kurosaka Morihide thought for a moment and said cautiously: "The Oda army is not in a hurry to enter the hinterland of Tango this time, which shows that they seem to have a steady attitude. According to Kamata-sama's letter, the Oda army mobilized at least 7,000 men and horses, and it took all the branch cities in one fell swoop by thunder. We all know very well that the Oda Army in Wakasa has a strength of seven or eight thousand people, and the attack on Mineyama Castle is not only well prepared, but also out! This shows that they are not only determined to win Fengshan City, but also means that they are worry-free, at least for the time being! ”

"I very much agree with Kurosaka-sama's opinion......" Takatsu Nagashishi picked up his words. Judging from what is known so far, the enemy is at least prepared, so the enemy must have a clear understanding of the balance of forces between our sides! Judging from the experience of the previous battles with the Oda army, our army has a certain advantage in numbers, but its quality is far less strong than that of the Oda army. We haven't taken the initiative for a few years, and when they attacked, we mainly defended, and because we have been fighting in a favorable position, we have not suffered too much loss. This time, once Fengshan Castle is lost, the gate of Tango will be opened, so reinforcements have to be sent, and they must be sent as soon as possible! ”

"You have a point, and I think so!" Shikai Jiaoye nodded and said: "Right now, there are 5,000 garrisons in Jianbu Mountain City, and I am going to bring 4,000 people over!" ”

"You're going in person?" Mamohide Kurosaka asked with some concern.

"Yes!" Teach Ye said in a firm tone: "The situation in Fengshan City is critical now, and only if I rush there as soon as possible can we stabilize the situation!" The heavy burden of Jianbu Mountain Castle is entrusted to Kurosaka-sama! ”

"The subordinates of the adults should obey the orders of the adults to the death, but ......" Kurosaka Morihide said worriedly: "Now that there are only 2,000 troops left in Fengshan City, is it a little thin for the adults to take 4,000 people to go?" ”

"Enough should be enough!" Shioni said decisively. "I don't plan to have a decisive battle with the Zhuxing Qing Clan this time, as long as I hold Fengshan City, it will be the victory of our army! The enemy's ace 'Stars Armor' is not suitable for siege, and I have enough men and horses to match it! It's ...... you," he said, reaching out and patting Kurosaka on the shoulder. "After I leave, the defense of Jianbu Mountain City is fragile, you have to be careful to guard here!"

"Excuse me, sir......" Kurosaka Morihide thought for a moment and asked, "If the Oda army comes to attack and harass, how will the last general deal with it?" ”

"Hold on to the city and ignore him!" Shikai replied quickly. “…… As long as the Mineyama Castle is not lost, the cavalry and baggage teams of the Oda Army will not be able to enter! Only a small number of lightly armed ashigaru and ninja troops were able to get here, and their purpose was nothing more than to distract me from returning to help. So as long as you hold on to the mountain castle of Jianbu, it won't be long before they retreat! ”

"So if there is a change in those wealthy clans in Danhou, what should the last general do?" Mamohide Kurosaka continued to ask.

"This ......" Kiyoi walked back and forth in the room twice with his head down, knowing that Kurosaka Morihide's worries were by no means unnecessary. The Hatano family subdued Tango by force, and drove away the original guardian Isshiki Yoshimichi, although the local nobles who originally belonged to the Isshiki family have accepted this reality, but after all, this is less than 5 years old, who knows how they will react if there is a storm? "Once anyone dares to jump out, they will be annihilated immediately, and this wind must not be allowed to blow!" Extraordinary times must be used by extraordinary means, and the Shioi teaching industry gritted his teeth and was ruthless.

"The last general obeys!" Mamohide Kurosaka understood what he had to do.

"But you still have to pay attention...... "Mikai Kyoye felt the need to remind him further." There are only two people who can have power and influence life, one is Yoshiei Takaya, the lord of Shimooka Castle, and the other is Naohide Inatomi, the lord of Ishikawa Castle. It's not a problem that Yoshiei Takaya is a fool, but Naohide Inatomi is shrewd and strong, plus he is a master of iron artillery! We didn't get any news in advance about the Oda army's attack this time, which shows that even if they collude with the Tango Hao clan, the scope will not be very large, so once they make a move, many small forces will hesitate and decide to wait and see, as long as they act quickly, the situation will not expand! It's a bit thin that you only have 1,000 men in your hands, so if necessary, you can contact the castle of Miyazu Castle, he still has 1,500 troops there! Although there are 1,000 people in Yoshiwara Mountain Castle, it is the passage that connects us to the Tanba family, so don't use it unless you have to! ”

Kurosaka Morihide wrote them down one by one and finally asked, "When will my lord leave?" ”

"The situation is urgent, and there is no room for delay, now prepare to leave in an hour!"

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

The 4,000 Hatano troops drove out of Kenbe Mountain Castle, and the gates immediately merged together behind them. Before leaving the house, Mikai once again repeatedly warned that he must adopt a cautious and restrained attitude towards possible harassment by the Oda army.

Takatsu Nagashishi led 800 ashigaru as the vanguard, and Kubino Jushiro, who sent the letter, came to act as a guide. Although the time of the start was very hasty, the Shikai Jiaoye still brought all the equipment he could think of, so the rear army in the army looked a little bloated and procrastinated. Since you are forced to fight, you may not be able to meet any situation, and it is not a bad thing to be more prepared.

Not long after he started on the road, Shinoi Kyoye suddenly thought of some questions again, and he asked his own soldiers to pass Kubino Jushiro. Anyway, I have to walk on the official road for a long time, and the function of the guide is not used for a while.

"My lord, are you looking for me?" Kubino Jushiro quickly rushed over from the front.

"Thirteen Lang ......" Shinoi Kyoye asked him thoughtfully, "You said that the ninjas of the Oda Army are numerous and powerful, and they were quickly discovered when they were investigated, and your men were almost powerless to fight back when they attacked?" ”

"Yes...... "Kubino Jushiro didn't guess too much about the intention of this question, but just scrupulously stated the situation at the time." We had already observed several places from a distance, and in order to get a better picture of the situation, we approached their camp! At this time we were attacked by them, and there were 15 more of them than we were. But judging from the position where it appeared, it shouldn't be a premeditated ambush, just a few 'dark piles' and a small detachment that rushed to hear the news! They were very clever in their moves, and I was able to escape thanks to the desperate cover of a few men! ”

"In that case......" After getting this answer, Shioni Kyoye was even more skeptical. How did you break out of Peaks? It stands to reason that although the Oda army cannot encircle Mineyama Castle now, the ninjas must have laid a tight surveillance net! ”

"Your Excellency is right!" Kubino Jushiro nodded quickly and said, "I did find many ninja stakes on the outskirts of Mineyama Castle, and I was able to avoid them by virtue of my familiarity with the terrain!" Their level of professionalism is very high, as can be seen in the choice of surveillance locations. But they don't seem to be familiar with the local situation, and there are some secrets that they don't know! He thought about it again and said, "They seem to be from Koga, but I can't guarantee that!" ”

At this time, the heart of the Nikai Jiaoye was a little relieved, and if this was the case, it would be reasonable. "What else did you see along the way? Is there anything out of the ordinary? He continued.

"There seems to be signs of large-scale activity of the ninja army, but I didn't go ......deep into it because I was in a hurry to deliver the letter," he said, and as soon as he said this, the troops in front suddenly stopped, and there was a faint shout.

"Report to your lordship!" At that moment, a herald came galloping from the front and stopped in front of them. "Takatsu-sama asked me to come and report that the bridge on the Broken Tamagawa River is broken!"

"The bridge is broken?!" Shinoi Kyoye was taken aback, turned to Kubino Jusan Lang and asked, "Did you get here when you came?" Was there anything wrong with the bridge at that time? ”

"It's here that we are walking down, but there is nothing wrong with this bridge!" Kubino Jushiro replied in the affirmative.

"Go ahead and have a look!" As soon as the Onii sect urged the horse, he rushed forward surrounded by a large number of personal soldiers.

The situation is very clear, the bridge was just demolished! This doesn't require any level of professionalism, and anyone can see it at a glance.

"It seems that the Oda ninja army has begun to block the action of reinforcements, so the ...... of Mineyama Castle" has no time to continue speculating, and Shikai Kyoye hurriedly called Takatsu Feldspar. Cross the river now! Find more ferries and the others start erecting pontoons! He commanded loudly.

"Yes, sir! However, due to the haste of the incident, only 3 boats were found, and the materials were insufficient, and it was not easy to erect a pontoon bridge! Takatsu said with a wry smile on his face. …… However, since it is not yet the rainy season, the water is not very deep, and the subordinates have already ordered people to look for suitable wading points upstream and downstream! ”

"Well done, but hurry!" At the same time, three ferries full of soldiers slowly headed for the opposite bank.

"Bang, bang, bang......" At this time, a dense roar was suddenly heard from the opposite side, and a large number of people fell into the water on each boat......
