"Good job, but we still have to keep hurrying!" I stood in front of 12 huge warehouses and said with satisfaction. Nine of them have already been built, and the people are busy carrying military supplies inside, and the other three are nearing completion.

"Leave the matter to me, and you can rest assured!" The answer was still the same Kameyoshimaru who built the castle for me last time.

Niwa Nagahide's admonition touched his nose without any suspense, but he was not blamed, and Oda Nobunaga instead appointed him to sit in Komaki Mountain Castle to monitor Mino and be in charge of logistics. I don't know if it was because I came back late and didn't have time to be included in the battle sequence, or because my position was too low to be noticed, or because Oda Nobunaga was afraid that my lowly martial arts skills would be embarrassed, but in short, I was assigned to be in charge of the material transfer station. Because of the proximity to the ferry, I chose the location of the "military station" on the site of the burned Kogie Castle. In view of the happy relationship last time, I found the boss of Kameyoshimaru again, and he really did not disappoint me and made a "smart" suggestion. It is to build a warehouse in the only remaining wall of Xiaomujiang Castle, and it is built along the wall, and then build a soldier's residence on the wall, which not only greatly shortens the construction period, but also ensures safety.

"The big war has begun, and more supplies will be needed soon!" Keiji Maeda said. "How many days will it take to be fully completed?"

"Three days at most!" Kamechimaru thought about it and said.

"That's right......" I turned back and asked Yamanaka Kanosuke, "When will the next batch of supplies arrive?" ”

"In two days, 1,000 stone of military rations will be delivered!" Kanosuke said with certainty. "The replenished ordnance and armor will be in 7 days, and the rest will have to wait until next month!"

"There's plenty of time, but ......" I said after looking at each warehouse, "Just in case, please work hard!" ”

"Absolutely!" He bowed and said, "Please take care of any projects in the future!" ”

After looking at the situation of the various sentry posts, I walked towards the ferry with Keiji Maeda and Kanosuke Yamanaka.

The situation here is also in order. Ke'er Caizang was directing the porter to put the goods to be transported neatly, and Shima Katsu Takeshi personally escorted them to the other side of the ship one by one. I was standing on a small hill, and I could clearly see that there was a large battalion over there, and 1,000 soldiers led by Sasa Narumasa were stationed there. His task was to protect the ferry and the transit station, while my 120 soldiers and 200 migrant workers were only responsible for general guarding and handling, and I was also in charge of the thirty or so boats at the ferry. To be honest, I've always disliked the brainless, self-righteous guy (who looked down on me just as much), but this time I wasn't directly under his command.

After some busyness, all the supplies were delivered to the other side, and Ke'er Caizang and Shima Shengmeng walked towards us together.

"How? It's not an easy job, isn't it? I said to them, sweating profusely.

"I'm tired!" Ke'er hid her ass and sat on the ground. "My lord! If you don't give me any more money, it will be too unrighteous! ”

"Shengmeng, how do you feel?" I pretended I didn't hear what K'er was hiding.

"It's nothing, it's just ...... It's just ......," Shimakatsu said with a slurp.

"It's just that I didn't get a fight, and I'm a little uncomfortable, right?" I asked with a smile.

He blushed and nodded, just looking at it, I really couldn't imagine how brave he was on the battlefield. (In a little more than a year, we only participated in a few small battles, so few of them didn't have the opportunity to take the flag and make a contribution.) ）

"If that's the case, you don't have to worry at all!" Keiji Maeda interjected: "As long as you keep following the lord, it is not difficult to establish meritorious deeds!" ”

"Huh!" I really didn't know he had such confidence in me.

"Because the lord is a businessman." Keiji Maeda continued: "He knows best how to get the maximum profit with the least effort! How can you do it...... "Just as he was talking nonsense with a hippie smile, a small boat came from the opposite shore, and a herald got off the ferry and ran towards us, judging by the ornamentation of the flag, he must have come from Oda Nobunaga's base camp.

"You! It's you! Go and lead a horse! I finished shouting to a soldier not far away, turned to the herald and asked, "Where are you from?" What's going on? ”

"Returning to your lordship! In the down autonomous public army. He gasped. Yesterday, 17,000 people from our center and left armies, and 25,000 people from the Ise coalition army fought a joint battle at Ukikusaka, and won a complete victory! 5,000 were beheaded and more than 4,000 were taken prisoner. All the wealthy clans in Northern Ise were scattered, and the remnants of 5,000 monks and soldiers fled to Nagashima Castle, and now our army is advancing towards Nagashima! ”

"Those crumbs are really hard to beat!" Keer only hid his emotion, but Maeda Keiji rarely didn't talk to him.

"That's right!" When I saw the herald on horseback, I suddenly remembered something. "When will the captives arrive? What does the Lord want me to prepare? "More than 4,000 is not a small number.

"Oh! This ......," he visibly stunned. "Don't bother, my lord, the lord has ordered all the captives to be beheaded on the spot!" With that, he rode away, and we were silent as we looked at the dust that was gradually falling in the direction of Komaki Mountain Castle.

I sat back on the ground and watched the river in a daze. Oda Nobunaga seems to be reckless this time, and the easy victory has made him a little carried away, which is also his habitual fault! Maybe Takeda Shingen's classic sentence of "six points to win" has not yet spread at this moment. It should be said that the superiority achieved by the Oda army at the moment was far from being decisive, and it was especially prudent to drive deep into the enemy's territory for a long time. In the Battle of Huaihai, the 800,000 Kuomintang troops were defeated by the People's Liberation Army (PLA) 600,000 and most of them were annihilated. "Battle of Huaihai!" Thinking of this, suddenly a "scene" jumped into my mind: at the beginning of the Huaihai Campaign, Huang Botao led 5 armies and more than 100,000 people to return from Haizhou to the west, and was caught up by Huaye by a river (I forgot the name ......of the river). A word that popped up out of my head knocked several pensive people down.

"Do you have any instructions about the project?" Hearing that I was looking for it, Kamechimaru trotted to the river.

"It's not about the warehouse." I said. "Don't you want me to take care of your project?"

"Ah~ Yes! What do you command? "He obviously didn't expect me to have another job so soon.

"There!" I pointed to the river and said, "I'm going to build a pontoon bridge, you give me an estimate!" ”

In the bewildered eyes of everyone, Kameyoshimaru took out a small abacus and crackled. "It would take 90 strokes to build a three-foot-wide pontoon bridge!"

"Five feet wide! In order to survive the rainy season, the approach bridges on both sides had to be lengthened! "I made new requests.

"That'...... It's 160 runs! ”

"180 per block, build me 5!" I said it absolutely clearly. Except for Keiji Maeda, everyone looked at me as if they were looking at a monster, and he just took out a wine gourd and took a sip of it.

After the construction of the bridge began, Sasa Seimasa came to ask once. I told him that because of the lack of skilled shipwrights, the bridge had to be built in order to ensure transportation. But he told me he didn't have the budget.

"I'll pay for all the costs myself!" This is my final reply to him.
