May 22, 1576, was the day I was ready to officially attack Sengokubori. Early in the morning, the soldiers of the whole battalion began to prepare busily, polishing their knives and guns and putting on the latest clothes, but it looked a little like a play!

"Uh......h Woo, woo......" The conch's voice came one after another, conveying different messages in a flickering manner. This not only informed his own people of the progress of the preparation process, but also told the defenders of the city that this time it was not a joke!

"Boom, Boom, Boom......" Groups of soldiers passed in front of my camp in such a way that they seriously interfered with the progress of my breakfast. Today I seem to be a little excited, and I often consciously or unconsciously wander my mind.

"What, just eat less?" Seeing that I put down my chopsticks and began to wipe the food residues at the corner of my mouth with a napkin, Ah Xue asked in surprise.

"That's it!" I put down the napkin in my hand and watched as Xue instructed the maids to take them down. "There are some big actions today, in order to shock the Kii gang. I won't eat much breakfast, so as not to laugh again after a while! ”

"Your Highness, take care!" Ah Xue didn't ask much, but just reminded with concern.

"Put on your armor and come with me!" I stood up and put my arm around her shoulder.

"This ...... All right? "You may think I'm acting weirdly lately, so she asked uncertainly.

"My own Guards General is not with me, so where else can I be?" I said this proudly, kissed her hair tenderly, and put my arms around her with more strength.

Soon after, I walked out of the camp with Ayuki and a group of guards and banners, and walked out of the castle in the opposite direction of Sengokubori Castle. A temporary shogunate has been erected for me to watch the battle, and people who are not directly involved in the battle are already waiting here.

"Go and call Heiji Tsuchihashi...... Tsuchihashi-sama, please come here! "As soon as I sat down on the marching horse in the middle of the march, I turned back to the squires and commanded.

"Lord Yushu, I haven't seen ...... for many days" Tsuchihashi Heiji came to me to give a salute, and it could be seen that he had been quite irritable in recent days, and at this time he was just pretending to be calm.

"It's not a few days!" I waved the fan in my hand and motioned for Tsuchihashi Heiji to sit down and speak. "Do you feel like you're living these days? Otherwise, why would you be so eager to ask to meet me again! ”

"I'm afraid that His Highness may not be easier than in these days, right?" Feeling that I might have to take advantage of the negotiations, Heiji Tsuchihashi immediately attacked and defended.

"Oh, is there any solid basis for that, my lord?" I looked at him with a meaningful gaze, like a praying mantis trying to wave its forearms to block the wheels.

"This is thanks to Your Highness, Your Highness Xie has given me so much time to think!" Naturally, Heiji Tsuchihashi noticed my expression, but he firmly believed that it was nothing more than psychological warfare. "His Royal Highness has been stranded in Sengokubori Castle for more than ten days, and he has not been able to achieve the size of the work, which shows that he has fallen into a dilemma. Now His Royal Highness has been trapped here for a long time, which is really a taboo for soldiers. Not to mention whether there will be a three-good army attacking Izumi, even if His Royal Highness has the strength to give Izumi to others......"

"Tsuchihashi-sama is really imaginative, it's a shame not to write a novel!" I turned and pointed to him to the people around me, and everyone was in the dark. "To be honest, I've been neglecting Tsuchihashi-sama in recent days, but that's another hidden story, I'm afraid it's ...... Misunderstanding! ”

"In this case, I have to ask for advice in front of His Royal Highness Yuzhou!" Heiji Tsuchihashi was unmoved by my ridicule, and still said coldly.

"Actually...... It's also very simple! I sighed slowly and said very "sincerely": "Tsuchihashi-sama is really in a hurry this time, but I'm afraid that we haven't thought about many issues very maturely. The fundamental reason for this is that none of us have made any real progress during this period, and the basis of the negotiations has not changed significantly! If negotiations are started again in a hurry, the result will inevitably be the same as last time, and it will still be an unhappy part. So based on the above considerations, I think it is very necessary to take a little slow! ”

"His Highness seems to be very confident in his military superiority, but I don't know where this confidence comes from?" Heiji Tsuchihashi gave a faint sneer. "The ninja army, iron cannons, and cavalry under the command of His Highness are indeed strong, and there are few who can match them even if they look around the nations. In the face of such an opponent, we do not want to complain about the defeat in the north, on the contrary, we are convinced! But please think carefully about it, the right general is still difficult to shake the foundation of Kii with 70,000 people, and his highness's army of less than 20,000 is enough? ”

"Can't I?" I asked rhetorically with great "innocence and cuteness".

"Your Highness Yuzhou, don't be joking, isn't being trapped under the fortified city exactly the current predicament of His Highness?" He said confidently, as if everything had been laid out. "Your Highness must have also discovered that Sengokubori Castle is impregnable, and the defenders are well fed, so it would be a fool's dream to take this city without spending huge casualties! Not to mention the loss of 20,000 horses, it is difficult for His Highness to say whether he can capture Senshibori, but once this is the case, how can His Highness stand up? His Royal Highness started with martial arts and rose rapidly in more than ten years, and he must know the importance of the army better than he did in Xia, is it worth losing his old capital for such a small Chigokubori? In the next brave persuasion to His Royal Highness the state: Take advantage of the current victory, and accept it when you see it! ”

"Lord Tsuchihashi is really a frank gentleman, and he told him with such good words after seeing only two sides, and he was taught in the next!" I nodded twice with emotion.

"Then ......" Tsuchihashi Heiji heard me say this, and he couldn't help but feel hope in his heart again.

"Alas...... What a pity! I let out a long sigh and then said, "I am sometimes a very reasonable person, and since I have come here, I am always unsure of my heart, regardless of whether I am high or low. Don't worry, Tsuchihashi-sama will have results today! ”

"This ...... Why bother! "He doesn't seem to be giving up.

"It doesn't have to be, you have to try it to find out!" I seem to have made up my mind.

"My lord, Maeda-sama sent someone to ask if you can start!" At this time, Sakurai Sakichi ran over to pass the word.

"Let's get started!" I waved the fan in my hand.

The sound of conch sounded again quickly and intensively, and one after another of soldiers came out of the large camp and began to move upwards under the leadership of the samurai, in the direction of Sengokubori Castle. It did not stop until it was about two hundred meters away from the city wall, and began to assemble into an attacking phalanx, which was a safe distance to avoid long-range attacks from the city.

"Tsuchihashi-sama!" I screamed.

"......" he didn't hear.

"Tsuchihashi-sama!!" I raised my voice and screamed again.

"Oh?!" He was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

"What do you think of the military strength of my Zhuxing Qing Clan?" I asked, pointing forward with the military fan in my hand. Because it was more than two miles away from the outside of the main camp, it was very clear to see both the city and the attacking army.

"The only military in the world that can directly confront the Takeda Army of Koshu is indeed worthy of its reputation!" Tsuchihashi Heiji thought for a moment, and then nodded with deep feeling. "Some time ago, I also had two battles with His Highness's advance army, and I already have a certain understanding of the strength of the Star Ninja Army. Today, it seems that His Royal Highness's positive ashigaru quality is also quite high, and it is also well-equipped and rare in the world. In order to deal with the siege battle, His Royal Highness's Ashigaru actually changed to a seven-foot short spear, so I am afraid that the matter of preparing several sets of equipment at the same time is something that no one else dares to think! ”

"My lord's eyes are like torches, I don't know what else to think?" I continued to ask.

"It's just that His Highness seems to have cut a bit, and he has invested all the elites at once without being tempted! Seems to ......"

"This also makes you see! Ha, ha, ha......" I laughed all at once, making Tsuchihashi Heiji feel a little hairy. "I want to succeed or not, try this time, if I can't take it again, I'll be sure. I have given orders to raise the camp early tomorrow morning, and to march or retreat without spending here. I just don't know Tsuchihashi-sama, where did you see that? ”

"It's actually nothing...... "My attitude seemed very strange, so Heiji Tsuchihashi became cautious." It seems that this attacking force has only more than 5,000 people, but the number of samurai in full armor is as high as more than 1,000, and they are all at the forefront of the formation. I guessed that this should have moved the foundation of His Highness, and I am afraid that I will not be able to continue if I can't win a blow! ”

"Almost!" I smiled and pointed to a very conspicuous horse mark in the center of the formation in front of me and said, "This time I handed over all the elites to this guy Keiji Maeda, if I lose it, I want him to look good!" ”

"In front of such a fortified city, I'm afraid everyone ......"

"Tick, tick, tick, tick, ......tick, Hearing this voice, all the attacking troops made a strange move at the same time - to lie down on the spot!

"Then let's wait and see!" I reached out and covered my ears, and the generals around me followed suit.

"You ......" Tsuchihashi Heiji's eyes were full of doubt.

"Boom!" An earth-shattering loud bang sounded from Sengokubori Castle, and even the earth seemed to tremble slightly, and Tsuchihashi Heiji was shaken from Maza to the ground because he was not mentally prepared.

With this loud bang, countless stones and dirt were thrown into the air, and a small mushroom cloud formed by thick black smoke rose into the sky at the same time. The walls of Sengokubori were crumbled down by three large openings, and the remaining part was also crumbling. Listen closely, in the rumbling follow-up explosions, the screams and wails are faintly discernible one after another, and there are constantly throwing objects that fall not far from us.

"Look!" I pulled a handful of Tsuchihashi Heiji with a blank look. "Tsuchihashi-sama, the offensive has begun!"

"His Royal Highness Yuzhou......" His eyes were full of bitterness.

"Your Highness!" Then another herald arrived, and in front of me he saddled and dismounted, and touched the ground on one leg. "Report to Your Highness! The island lord transmitted: The people of Jizenji Temple have opened the city and surrendered! ”

"Tsuchihashi-sama......" I said with a gentle smile on my face, "You can reply to Suzuki-sama what you saw today, and we'll talk about it when he thinks about it!" ”
