Chapter 110: Unqualified Results
The City of Serenity, oh no, should be called Serenity now. When it was still in the hands www.biquge.info of the Oda family, Ansei Castle played an important role in the battle as a bridgehead for the attack on Mikawa. And in the hands of the Imagawa family, it was very different.
The reason is also very simple, the Imagawa family already has a bridgehead that has been in operation for many years, although compared to the Great Taka Castle, Ansei Castle is closer to Owari, but in its current form, such a distance is of no use to the Imagawa family. And now the whole of Mikawa belongs to the Imagawa family, and so much manpower and material resources are spent to build a new castle.
And compared to the Imagawa family in Suruga, the Oda family in Owari is undoubtedly closer to tranquility. If one day one is accidentally avoided by the Oda family, it is not himself who suffers.
However, the location of tranquility is not useless, at least the distance is close, and the situation can be discovered faster, so the Imagawa family still built a castle here and sent Honda Masada to guard it. In this way, once something happens, Honda Masataka can notify the many Imagawa family defenders in Mikawa as soon as possible, and delay for a little time by taking advantage of the location. Well, it was like that in the first two years.
It's just that everyone knows that after the Oda family rebelled against and occupied Mino, the Oda family did not have the ability to invade Mikawa. After all, this is not the era of Oda Nobuhide, and now that the Imagawa family has reached an alliance with Takeda and Hojo, the reason why they have not attacked Owari is just because they feel that the time has not come, and they are also holding each other back with the Toki family.
So the serenity at this time has basically been forgotten by the Imagawa family. They didn't believe that the Oda family would dare to call. Although the combat effectiveness of the troops in Mikawa may not be able to defeat the Oda family, it will not lose too badly. In this way, the Oda family will naturally not attack Mikawa, after all, no one will do anything without interest.
At night, Honda Masatuda was drinking wine while hugging two women and constantly frolicking, he has been here for more than two years, and the passion when he first took office has long been completely polished by the boring time, and he also understands that he was abandoned by the Imagawa family. There is basically no hope of promotion, so it is better to enjoy life, so this kid lives an extremely erosive life every day. In other words, this is thanks to Mikawa's poverty enough, so that he only needs a little money, which is enough to enjoy beauty and wine.
"Hee hee ~ you two little sao goods, let you enjoy the power of Lord Honda today!" When the wine was almost drunk, Honda Masata instantly turned into a wolf and threw the two women to the ground, and then there were bursts of moaning in the room.
Two oil lamps hung on both sides of the gate brought a glimmer of light to the vicinity of the gate. The two ashigaru leaned against the door and yawned.
"Daisuke, how long do you think Honda-sama can hold out today?" An ashigaru may have been trying to pass the time of boredom, and said with a strange smile.
"Hehe, I guess it's going to take a quarter of an hour, I heard that Lord Honda just bought a secret medicine a few days ago." Ashigaru Yin, who is called Daisuke, replied with a smile on his face, with an expression that all men understand.
"Hee-hee, really? Last time, I remember that it didn't work after two clicks, right? As a result, Honda-sama became angry and gave us the woman directly. Hee-hee~ I hope it's the same this time. The other ashigaru also said with a smile on his face.
After a while, Ashigaru, who was called Daisuke, seemed to be unable to hold on, "No, Yamaru, you watch first, I'll go sleep for a while." With that, he ran away with a puff of smoke.
"Bastard! It's you first every time! Ashigaru, who was called Yamaru, scolded unhappily, but it seemed that this kind of thing was common, so he leaned directly against the door...... Fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took, a dark shadow slowly walked out of the shadows, stepped forward and gave a large number of Yamaru for a long time, and after confirming that he was indeed asleep, he sighed in a low voice, "I've been planning for so long, I can't imagine that it will be so easy to ......"
As soon as the words fell, several figures came out of the shadows, and one of the tall men chuckled, "It's normal~ After all, there has been no war for several years, and Mikawa's ashigaru has always been uneven." ”
"Okay Keiji, stop talking, lest you be heard." A cold voice interrupted the man.
These people are Yamada Masamura and others. Since it was decided to loot in Mikawa, then tranquility must be a place that cannot be avoided, and according to common sense, it should have bypassed here and gone directly to the town to loot. But on the one hand, Yamada Masamura felt that it was too bad to rob civilians or something, and on the other hand, he didn't want the Grim Reaper to directly face his hometown fathers.
Therefore, he decided to attack the city of tranquility directly. But after all, there are only 100 of them, and they are all Taidao team, plus Yamada Masamura's character is already very cheating. As a result, the sneak attack plan was born under the tinkering of Yamada Masamura. It's a pity that after calculating for a long time, Yamada Masamura suddenly realized that it was a complete waste of effort.
"Qingci, Xingjiu, Zuo Jin, Zhongsheng, the four of you each take 25 people to act separately, be careful, don't make too much noise! In addition, one is not left. Yamada Masamura instructed.
Hearing this, the four of them nodded, and then Yamada Masamura walked to the door, killed poor Yamaru with a knife, and then inserted Yaqi into the crack of the door and swiped it gently, and the bolt made of wood was directly cut in two.
The gate opened, and the four of them immediately led the god of death to rush in. I have to say that under the ideological guidance of Yamada Masamura and the hard training of Keiji Maeda and others, although the strength of the Reaper to fight tough battles is not yet known, the discipline can completely throw off all the troops of the Warring States.
I saw that the Shinigami people, led by Keiji Maeda and others, were advancing as fast as ninjas, and as soon as they entered the door, they were divided into four teams and rushed towards their respective goals. After a while, there was a burst of noise.
"Alas, it's still too tender...... "Yamada Masamura sighed helplessly when he heard this, "Forget it, anyway, the Grim Reaper is not an assassination force in the first place." However, is it necessary to build a ninja army as well? Yamada Masamura thought as he touched his chin.
However, he gave up after a little thought, after all, ninjas are not as easy as training the Grim Reaper. The Grim Reaper has the training of a person like Shiraki Yukihisa, who is young, but whose strength is already close to that of a sword master. But what about ninjas? Although Keiji Maeda learned a lot of ninjutsu from Takigawa Kazuyi, his personality was obviously not suitable for training ninjas, let alone Yamada Masamura.
Walking to the castle lord's room, it was just a small house. Inside, Honda Masatuda and the two women's eyes were wide open, but they had long since lost their breath. Keiji Maeda, they carried out Yamada Masamura's orders very well, and there was nothing soft on women.
However, this did not surprise Yamada Masamura, in such troubled times, being merciful to the enemy is cruel to oneself. This truth is a truth that everyone in this era understands.
In about a quarter of an hour, Keiji Maeda and others came over to restore their lives.
"My lord, all the enemies in the fortress have been slain, and no one has been injured. 60 pieces of ashigaru armor and 6 swords were found, all of which were new! There wasn't much money or food. Keiji Maeda pouted and reported.
When they entered, the peaceful people were asleep, and it could be said that it was over without any resistance at all. For this kind of process, Keiji Maeda, who was very fanatical about war, naturally felt bored.
"Well, that's to be expected." Yamada Masamura responded casually, "Leave 4 people, take turns guarding in groups of two, and the others will rest directly in the barn." Yamada Masamura said.
"Yes!"
The tranquility was filled with a strong smell of blood at this time, but this did not affect the rest of the Grim Reapers. Because after the hellish training during the previous period, they have already cultivated tough nerves.
However, Yamada Masamura and Maeda Keiji will not run into the house to rest stupidly. They all went up to the rooftops, blowing a slightly bloody night breeze, and watched the beautiful stars slowly fall asleep. Well, the air here is much stronger than inside the house.
For the next few days, Yamada Masamura continued to wander around the territory of Mikawa with the Reaper. Specifically looking for small, and not very important cities to raid at night. Occasionally exterminated a few small wealthy clans, and did not make Yamada Masamura care too much.
It's just that although they did it secretly, they would inevitably be discovered if they were too many times, and the Uden Chochi, who was guarding Okazaki Castle, immediately sent troops to investigate the situation. It's just that Yamada Masamura is very decisive, and he is elusive, so that the chief of the pelican hall can't find any clues for a while. Helpless, he had to order all the cities and Hao clans in Sanhe to strengthen their vigilance, and at the same time send several troops to patrol back and forth.
But to the madness of the Pelican Chief, the bodies of the small group of troops sent out were found soon after. The furious and angry head of the Pelican Palace immediately issued a strict order, asking each Hao clan to send their own troops to participate in the patrol, and they must catch this unknown force.
It's a pity that most of the troops can't see the shadow of the Grim Reaper at all. Although he hasn't learned any hidden skills, under the leadership of Yamada Masamura, a ninjutsu master, it is still easy to say that he wants to avoid a group of peasant soldiers.
In other words, if the chief of the pelican hall reported this matter to Suruga, I'm afraid he wouldn't be so troubled. But now he doesn't even know who the enemy is, only that the troops that were killed have all their armor stripped off.
"Is it a bandit?" The chief pelican thought with a headache. However, after discovering that it didn't seem to be so easy to catch the other party, Uden Chochi stopped sending troops, but asked everyone to strengthen the vigilance around them, and at the same time sent a ninja to investigate. In other words, there are only two ninjas around him to call him.
Late at night, somewhere in the middle of a dense forest.
"Tsk, it looks like I'm going to be unable to stay any longer." Yamada Masamura looked at the ninja corpse on the ground and muttered a little unpleasantly.
This time, to be honest, the goal was not achieved at all, although the armor was complete, but the sword was less than half equipped. Of course, there was a lot of money and everything.
"And ......" Yamada Masamura glanced at the somewhat embarrassed Death God Shrine around him, and shook his head secretly in his heart, "The combat effectiveness is really poor......
When encountering the troops scouting with the Imagawa family before, even if the other party only had a dozen people, it was not easy for the Reaper to win when the number was equal. At first, Yamada Masamura thought it was because they hadn't killed anyone before, so they were like this.
But when he met with the joint force composed of three small hao clans, he suddenly found that his good feeling force was completely pressed and beaten by the other party, knowing that there were less than 100 people on the opposite side. In the end, Yamada Masamura had to let the four of Maeda Keiji shoot, and at the same time, he swept the formation next to him, and barely killed the opposite side.
And the result is ...... It was very heavy, 100 people died, 31 were killed in battle, 11 were seriously wounded, and were slightly injured...... There is nothing left that is not hurt. The assessment that Yamada Masamura casually scared before setting off has now become a fact.
Seeing this result, Yamada Masamura really realized how much difference there is between training and the real battlefield. The gap between this pure Taidao team and the standard troops was also discovered.
"Whether it's arrows, gunshots, or close combat, they are all suppressed...... Alas, it's no wonder that there is no Taidao team in this era, and it is really difficult to do. Yamada Masamura thought helplessly.
However, he doesn't intend to give up like this, after all, the army has been built, and now it is suddenly disbanded, so what he has done in the past few months has not become a joke? Yamada Masamura can't afford to lose this person.
"When I go back, double my training! In addition, I will train you myself......" Yamada Masamura left such a sentence, and led people back to Owari quickly. Speaking of which, he had planned to try to attack a city head-on, but now it seems that he didn't go crazy at that time.
Let's not talk about how Yamada Masamura will train the Grim Reaper after he returns. Suruga, Sunpu Castle.
A rather low-key wedding is being held, and the two parties, the man is the current governor of the Matsudaira family, and the closed disciple of Taiyuan Xuezhai Matsudaira Motoshin. The woman is the daughter of the governor of the Sekiguchi family, Sekiguchi Sena, the niece of Imagawa Yoshimoto. There weren't too many people in attendance at this wedding, only Matsudaira Motonobu's friend Okabe Masatsuna, Sekiguchi Sena's father Sekiguchi Shinaga, and many retainers of the Matsudaira family.
After the ceremony, everyone dispersed, and only Matsudaira Motonobu and Imagawa Yoshimoto remained.
"Motoshin, do you know why I'm in such a hurry for you to marry Sena?" Imagawa Yoshimoto asked softly.
"But for the sake of the Oda family?" Matsudaira Motoshin replied calmly, looking at that appearance, where would he know that this kid had just become a groom.
"Well, the strength of the Oda family has improved very rapidly in recent years, which is not what the family wants to see. Therefore, I need you to come forward and put Mikawa in order in the name of the governor of the Matsudaira family. Imagawa Yoshimoto said lightly.
"This ......" Matsudaira Motoshin heard this, and looked at Imagawa Yoshimoto deadly. He had been looking forward to this day for too long, but when it finally came, he couldn't believe it.
Seeing Matsudaira Motonobu's appearance, Imagawa Yoshimoto couldn't help but smile and said, "Motoshin, don't be so surprised, this is what you deserve!" ”
"Thank you, my lord!" Matsudaira Motoshin bowed to the ground and said loudly, his tone full of excitement.
"Do a good job, when everything is ready, you will be the vanguard of the attack on Owari!" Imagawa Yoshimoto patted Matsudaira Motonobu on the shoulder and encouraged.
"Yes!"
