"Ah......h It's weird, I'm so tired how I woke up in the middle of the night. "What the hell......" The state at this moment was obviously not suitable for thinking about such a serious and important issue, and I closed my eyes and prepared to continue the good dream just now.

"Don't sleep...... I finally woke up...... Don't fall asleep......" A voice resolutely interfered with my pleasure, as if it would not give up until I was tossed.

"Don't make a fuss, I'll talk about it tomorrow!" I tightened my arms in an attempt to silence the voice.

"Get up! I call you up! The melodious voice became a little harsh, and I felt a sharp pain in my ears.

"Ugh, aw...... You take it lightly! "This time the drowsiness retreated quickly without resistance, and I opened my eyes screaming, and the first thing I saw was the coral staring with eyebrows standing up." What are you doing here, haven't you just been enough? "I don't know what's going on with her today, she doesn't have the strength to fight continuously in this kind of thing.

"Your head is full of this nonsense!" She gave me a strange look, and I could see very clearly the shyness on her face by the moonlight that came in through the window.

"Since it's not, don't disturb my sleep, and I'll go back to Shiratoriyama City early tomorrow morning!"

"Ugh!" This time she screamed unprepared, but then in turn she pinched my evil hand. "How did you become a samurai, didn't you notice anything wrong?"

"I'm a samurai who catches ducks on the shelves...... Wrong...... What could be wrong? I grumbled. But I also know that if I don't do what she says, I won't want to sleep tonight.

The room was still dark, and it was still just the two of us.

"I don't know how you survived with such a dull voice!" She said hatefully, and sure enough, she reached out and pointed out the window. "Listen to what's going on outside!"

"Oh......" I listened, and my face couldn't help but change.

It doesn't take much ear power, and I noticed it when she said that. In the night there was a gentle breeze in the summer valley, and there was a roar, no doubt the sound of iron cannons, but not a salvo, and at least 500 meters away.

"Could it be that the Eastern Army has begun to attack?" As soon as I said it, I knew that something was wrong, that it was impossible to be the result of a large-scale night battle.

If it is a large-scale attack by the Eastern Army, it is impossible for the large battalion under the city to be silent, even if it does not go to help, it should be ready for battle, and besides, it will definitely not dare not inform me. A night battle can be considered a sneak attack! But since even the iron cannon is used, there is no need to hide the sound of shouting and killing.

"When did anyone report it?" I sat up all at once, and the thin quilt slipped off. The slightly cool wind blew on my sweaty body, and I couldn't help but shiver.

"It's been ringing for a while, but you're still asleep!" She didn't care at all, she sat up and put on the quilt to serve me and get dressed first. "It is believed that the large camp between here and Kambara-jo was attacked at night, and it seems that Ikeda and Otomobu were camped between the Fuji River and the river. Someone should have been sent over there to report the situation, and His Royal Highness Gamo is dealing with it! I may feel that this level of things is not worth reporting to you, so I didn't come directly. All this was seen by the guards patrolling the verandah on the second floor......"

"Oh, the clan is already dealing with it!" My grip on the collar paused for a moment, and it took me a moment to resume my movements. "Since the clan is already doing this, then there is no need to call me again!" I said it in a relaxed tone.

"You are really relieved, it turns out that the 'people of the world' can also be like this!" Coral teased as he tied a rib to my belt and began to dress herself. "Do you know how long this has been? I'll tell you, it's been an hour! ”

"An hour! I didn't wake up after an hour of iron cannons? "I was really surprised by the situation, and at the same time I admired myself. Normally, I wake up when I sleep, but I don't know what's wrong today.

"Who's to say it isn't!" She quickly dressed up, then walked over and grabbed the weapons of both of us.

I took the saber, but I didn't hold it in my hand and didn't put it on my body.

Listening to the intensity of the iron cannon, this is not a sneak attack at all, at most it is an attack, but it stands to reason that such an action cannot last, it should be said that it is hit and left, why is this so? If it was a big attack, it would definitely not be this movement, and my heart was filled with curiosity for a while.

"I said it just now, I can't wake you up no matter how I scream!" Seeing that I had been sitting still, she was a little strange, so she had to continue: "I asked the three of them to be on guard around here, and sent a few people over there to keep an eye on it, and if there is anything to report in time!" ”

"Got a payoff?" I knew about Coral's audacity for a long time, but why haven't I woken up after so many things have happened?

"Nope!"

"None? So what are you doing! I yawned again as I spoke, but I was ready to take care of it myself.

"Judging from the direction from which the iron cannon sounded, the enemy's movements are very strange!" Coral moves very fast, and in three clicks and two strokes he is fully equipped. "The attackers did not appear to have come from one direction and had penetrated Camp Ikeda. I haven't returned the favor for so long, maybe something big has happened! ”

"This ...... Is it possible? "I can't believe how this would be the case if someone had breached the camp." Let's take a look! ”

Walking out of the bedroom, I realized that the fluctuations had really been happening for a long time. In a short and not wide corridor, there were no less than 50 guards, all of them tightly guarded with their hands on the hilt of their swords, and even when they saw me come out, they pursed their lips tightly and did not say a word.

I was a little ashamed to look at them, and I didn't know what kind of nervousness and excitement they experienced during the hour when I was sleeping with the beauty in my arms. Are they for me, for the stars, or for their own beliefs? There may not be a clear answer to these questions at all, because these contents are fundamentally harmonious in their minds.

I didn't go downstairs or even out of Mimebashi Castle, because it was the responsibility of the Gamo clan in front of me, and it was a distraction for me to go. Although I don't know the specific situation at the moment, I intuitively judge that it is a psychological attack by the Eastern Army, and if I express the slightest worry at this time, even if the Gamo clan itself does not care, the other daimyo will only be afraid that people will be panicked.

"That's really clever!" As I walked down the hallway, I thought to myself, and I really admired the person who came up with this brilliant idea.

My army is a coalition force, and it is the first time that it has been a coalition of forces that have been hostile for a long time in the past. The greatest threat in such an army is often not the strength of the opponent, but the collapse of confidence caused by mutual suspicion, and if those Maori, Shimazu and others see that I do not trust the Gamo clan in the vanguard command I have appointed and intervene in everything, this battle will not be fought again!

But...... Why didn't I think of this trick first? What a damn thing! The Eastern Coalition is facing the same problem as us, even more serious than ours, and in any case I have the hostages of the daimyo in Kyoto, and Hojo and Tokugawa cannot do that now. Besides, the Daimyo of Dongguo, who had been oppressed and bullied by the Hojo family for a long time, had a deep knot in their hearts, so they felt suspicious......

It's all because of me, because I have already made a solid plan for the overall situation, and the specific strategy here is a little negligent. In fact, even if the victory of this war is inevitable, what should be done must still be done!

I made it all the way to the top of the castle tower, and there were far fewer people here. When I entered the room, there were only two people inside, Ying and Fog Butterfly.

According to the custom of the general daimyo, they always like to live on the top floor of the castle tower, thinking that it is safer. But I don't think it's solid, maybe I've watched too many thrilling movies before, and the sneak attack using a glider is really terrifying. So now I usually live on the second floor of any castle from above, and there are at least five ninjas on the rooftop.

"Do you know what's going on?" I asked as soon as I entered the house.

"It's not clear!" The warbler was standing in front of the east window with a telescope and looked out, when she saw me come in and hurriedly stepped back and passed the telescope. "Originally, I thought it was just a little noise over there, but I didn't expect it to last for so long. It seems that His Highness Gamo has not been able to suppress the attackers, and the people we sent have just passed! ”

"Senior Sister Crane is on the roof, Senior Sister Fox is below, the lord is in front of the army, so we don't dare to leave lightly!" See me see her Misty Butterfly explained.

"Hmm......" I nodded and walked over to where the warbler was standing, raising my binoculars and looking over there.

Neither Ikeda nor Yoshinori Otomo were "chicks" who had entered the battlefield for the first time, and there was no shortage of capable retainers under them. Their camp was still tightly organized and stable, and even the lights everywhere were the same as usual. It's just that...... What about the attackers?
