Iga, although the Iga people occupy the entire Iga country compared to Koga, but in fact, because Koga Prefecture is located in Omi, and at the same time, it has always chosen to take refuge in the powerful daimyo, so when it comes to Ishitaka, there is not much difference between the two, and they are only between 50,000 or 60,000 koku. And the families are all about the same, with the Koga clan having fifty-three and the Iga clan having forty-nine.

However, in terms of combat, there is a lot of difference between the Koga and the Iga, and because the Koga have always existed as a combat force under the command of the samurai forces, they value the ability to fight collectively more than the ability to fight alone. However, even if the collective combat ability of the Iga people is not strong, a group of ninjas can gather together and produce great power.

Hundred Earth City.

After receiving the news of Oda Yoshinobu's army, all the family patriarchs gathered in Hyakji Castle to discuss countermeasures. Although they have not been involved in direct wars for a long time, wars are not new to them. Because they have always been hired ninjas, they are almost always present in wars. Even if you don't, after watching it for so many years, you can understand a little bit.

"Ladies and gentlemen, although Oda Yoshinobu has not yet sent troops, I believe that they will definitely not be the opponents of our Iga-people!" The third wife of Baidi said in a firm tone. This is the confidence that countless forces that have failed to defeat the Iga people over the centuries have brought him. The same is the confidence of all Iga ninjas. They believed that as long as they united, no samurai would be able to defeat them with the terrain of this Iga country.

Just as the three Taifu of Hyakchi were about to repeat the battle plan again, a ninja shouted outside, "Boss, the battle letter sent by Yoshinobu Oda!" ”

"What?" Hearing this, the third wife of Baidi disappeared in one flash, and reappeared after a few breaths, but there was already an extra letter in his hand.

"Boss, beware of poisonous ......," Fujibayashi reminded Baofeng.

Hearing this, Momochi Santai shook his head, "Although Oda Yoshinobu is an enemy of us, judging from his combat methods, he will not use this method. As he spoke, he opened the letter and read it.

For a moment, there was silence in the room, and everyone was staring at the third prince of Hyakuchi, or the letter in his hand, obviously they all wanted to know what was written in this war letter sent by Oda Yoshinobu.

At this moment, the third prince of Hyakuchi suddenly burst out laughing, "Haha, this kid Oda Yoshinobu is really interesting...... while laughing, he handed the letter to Fujibayashi and the others.

After the two of them looked at it quickly, their faces were not to mention how wonderful they were, "This Oda Yoshinobu is really ......" Fujibayashi Baofeng shook his head, but he didn't know how to evaluate it.

Takino Yoshimasa on the side smiled, "Hehe, but don't say it, this proposal is quite interesting." ”

The words of the three of them immediately lifted the hearts of the other 46 people, "Oh, you guys are talking, and we also want to know what is written in the letter!" An old man anxiously urged, his name was Shiranui Hanzo, and he was the patriarch of the Shiranui clan among the Iga people.

"Haha, Hanzo, you old man is still so impatient." Takino Yoshimasa smiled, and then read the contents of the letter.

"This ......" After hearing this, everyone was stupid. Is this Oda Yoshinobu so confident? Shiranui Hanzo muttered to himself.

It turned out that in this letter, Oda Yoshinobu proposed a gamble. That is, the Iga people will pick out 3 people and compete with Oda Yoshinobu's side. With two wins in three games, if Oda Yoshinobu loses, he will withdraw from Iga Province, and in his lifetime, together with the Oda family, will definitely not attack the Iga people. And if the Iga people lose...... Well, that's naturally obedient submission.

Well, Oda Yoshinobu, this kid is obviously still obsessed with the plot in martial arts novels, and after being opposed by everyone, he actually came up with such an idea. It's war! A war that involves the life and death of countless people! How can it be decided by such a child's play?

It's just that after laughing, everyone fell silent. Because...... They're tempted! Yes, tempting, it's a child's play. The reason is simple, they are better at individual combat than collective combat ability. And Oda Yoshinobu's proposal undoubtedly poked at their soft underbelly.

Well? Can a ninja's ability to fight head-on as well as a samurai? Well...... How so? The vast majority of ninjas are naturally inferior to samurai in terms of their ability to fight head-on, because what ninjas have to learn at the beginning is skills such as spying on intelligence and quickly transmitting information, while samurai and martial arts are practiced from an early age.

But in fact, when it reaches the realm of masters like the three taifu of the hundred places, this gap has disappeared. Because the master is very sensitive to the feeling of the surroundings, as long as the strength is not too much, or has special hidden means, it is absolutely impossible to escape the perception of the master. Especially like Oda Yoshinobu, the perception range is even more than 100 meters, which is completely non-human.

In this case, the assassination is just a joke, and the fight is still a head-on battle. And among the slightly larger ninjas, only those who have a certain level of personal combat ability can become a ninja. It's like among swordsmen, only when their strength reaches a certain level will they be called swordsmen.

Of course, even so, it is undoubtedly unfair for ninjas and samurai to duel head-on. Because the samurai's cultivation in martial arts is basically based on frontal combat. But ninjas are different, hidden, stealth, illusions, hidden weapons, poisoning...... And so on are all skills that they need to cultivate.

And the reason why these ninjas are still tempted is because the competition proposed by Oda Yoshinobu is completely different from the previous competitions. It can be said that it is completely biased towards the ninja fighting style. Location, in the middle of the mountains! Range, within a kilometer! Means, no limit!

It can be said that almost all ninjas have the intention of agreeing when they see this condition.

"Boss, could this be a ploy by Oda Yoshinobu? Lure us out, and then take us all down in one fell swoop. Fujibayashi asked after calming down.

Hearing this, the third prince of Hyakuchi nodded and said, "There is a possibility, but according to Oda Yoshinobu's style of acting, it is unlikely." After a pause, Momochi Santaifu said again, "And based on the information I have been collecting all along, as well as the conversation I had with Kato Danzo when he came a while ago, I found out that Oda Yoshinobu himself is also a very powerful ninja!" ”

Hearing the words of the third wife of the hundred lands, the room fell silent again, and everyone looked at the three husbands of the hundred lands, waiting for his final answer.

And the third wife of Baidi frowned, holding the letter and constantly flipping through it, obviously, he couldn't make this decision for a while.

To be honest, although the historical record makes the third prince of Hyakuchi very confident in this battle, he also understands very well that even if he can repel Oda Yoshinobu's attack this time, what about the next time? And next time?

Ninja! The best thing to do is to gather information, and for the information of the Oda family, the Iga people really don't want too much. Therefore, Hyakchi Santaifu understands very well that the Oda family is much stronger than those forces that were defeated by the Iga people in history. After all, no force has ever been able to gather an army of 100,000 to go to Luo.

In the letter, Oda Yoshinobu directly stated that he only brought 5,000 men, but Momochi Santaifu knew very well that when he attacked Yamato, he brought 20,000 men.

And how many people are there in Iga? There are only 4,000 people, and this is still including those old and weak women and children who know a little bit about ninjutsu.

In the Iga country, the main camp of Oda Yoshinobu.

"Lord, your proposal is really ......" Keiji Maeda and the others looked at Oda Yoshinobu speechlessly, but they didn't know what to say.

"Hehe, it's child's play, isn't it?" Oda Yoshinobu chuckled, "But don't you think that if the Iga people really agree, it will be good for us and them?" War, how can there be immortals? I just want to die less......" Oda Yoshinobu said with a look of a god who could not bear the suffering of the people in the world, and said in a seductive tone, "Whether it is these soldiers or the Iga people, they will be the lords of the family in the future...... How can I bear to do more sins? ”

Well, this expression, this tone, if it were other gods, maybe it could deceive a little respect. It's a pity that this person is Oda Yoshinobu......

"Cut, it must be that previous idea was rejected by everyone, so I came up with such an idea again!" Keiji Maeda said disdainfully.

"That's right!"

"That's it!"

Shiraki Yukihisa and Shima Zuo echoed when they heard this, and behind them, Honda Tadakatsu and others also nodded again and again.

However, the newcomers who were not used to joining Yagyu Soyan and others were deceived by Oda Yoshinobu into a few tears, and at this time they were looking at Oda Yoshinobu and the others with their mouths open, obviously not daring to imagine that with Oda Yoshinobu's current status, his retainers would be like this.

However, Guoxin looked at Oda Yoshinobu with bright eyes, and said in his mouth, "All the proud sons of heaven must have something different from ordinary people...... Perhaps the real peace will be achieved by the person in front of him...... "Well, this is the real god."
