Chapter 115: The Calm Before the Great War

"Your Excellency, you see, the sky over Minami Omi is strange?"

One of Iga's shinobi pointed to the sky in the distance that was red by the firelight, and hurried at Hattori Masanari. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Zhengcheng raised his head, his eyes shrank, it was just a moment's effort, Zhengcheng recognized that the sky was not a strange phenomenon, but was reflected red by a fire, and the location of the fire, Zhengcheng also roughly guessed, should be the place where the original hexagonal ministers who were ready to defect were located.

"Inform the leader of the hundred lands, ask him to evacuate all the ninjas from Minami Omi, the ninja army of the Hagi family has already eliminated the main enemy, and the next step is bound to clean up the ninjas we infiltrated, we don't need to sacrifice too much for the Rokkaku."

Taking a breath, Hattori Masanari gave his own order, and he was stunned for a moment, and said in confusion: "My lord, why evacuate, the ninja army of the Qimu family is only five hundred, but we have touched three thousand ninjas, once it is difficult, no matter how elite the ninja army of the Qimu family is, it is not an opponent for us, not to mention that the leader of the hundred lands should not follow our advice." After all, he has a grudge against Qimu Tiannin......"

Hattori Masari sighed, the grudge between the three Taifu of Hyakuchi and Hachiki Yoshiqin Hattori Masari has also heard of it, but he doesn't feel it really like an old Iga ninja like Shimo, so the previous order didn't take this into account, as for the three thousand against five hundred in Shimoshinobi's mouth, what if he wins, it's still the Rokkaku family who profits, but not Iga.

"That's it for the head of the hundred lands, first convey my suggestion to the other elders, if the elders agree, then don't worry about the head of the hundred lands, after all, although the hundred land family is strong, it is not strong enough for the leader of the hundred lands to be dictatorial in Iga. Go ahead! ”

"Yes!"

Shimoshinobi responded, waved his hand and called a few ninjas, and then several people divided into different directions and ran towards the night, Zhengcheng glanced at the sky in the distance again, waved his hand, and withdrew in the direction of Iga with more than 100 of his subordinates.

In the second half of the night, Yoshiqin led his army to the south of Wada Castle in Koga County and set up a battle in the south. This is the only place for Rokkaku Yoshiji to attack the Guanyin Temple City, as long as Rokkaku Yoshiji does not change his strategic intentions, then the Qimu Army is here to wait for the arrival of the Hexagonal Army.

After ordering to rest in place, the ashigaru of the Hagi family received a blanket from the baggage team, wrapped it around their bodies and slept on the ground. And the Jiqin main array is brightly lit.

After the formation, one after another information was handed over to Ji Qin's hands. The renegade faction led by Hirai Dingwu has completed the entire cleanup of the lineage, and no one of the old people or children is left, and the rest of the branches are secretly controlled and will be dealt with after the war is over.

After that, there was news from Iga.,Rokkaku family held a pre-war assessment meeting.,The specific content is due to the fact that the Iga ninja is guarding in secret.,I didn't hear it.,Just learned that the retainers were very happy after the meeting.,Big Ben speculated.,Rokkaku Yoshiji made a lot of promises to them.,For this information,Yoshiqin just glanced at it and threw it aside.。

Then Ota's information back aroused Yoshiqin's interest, Ota said, Iga was ordered to send to Minami Omi to make trouble, the three thousand ninjas have begun to retreat, it seems that they do not plan to continue the order of the Rokkaku family, this is to make Yoshiqin rush to a burst of joy, three thousand Iga ninjas infiltrated Minami Omi, when most of the Koga ninjas went to Kita Omi Kotani Castle, it was a very tricky thing for the ninja army, and now the Iga ninja himself retreated, but let Yoshiqin save a lot of heart, no longer have to worry about the backyard fire.

The sky was getting brighter, and Ji Qin also slept with his clothes.

There was a noise in Iga Ueno City, and after an hour, the four thousand troops successively completed the whole process from awakening to assembly, and Rokkaku Yoshiharu looked at his army with satisfaction, rode on horseback, and shouted: "Go!" ”

The four thousand troops let out a "buzzing" noise and slowly walked in the direction of Guanyin Temple City. This time, Rokkaku Yoshiji did not arrange a vanguard army, and the four thousand troops were all vanguard troops, and the length of the march was less than half a mile, which can be said to have shrunk to the extreme, and Rokkaku Yoshiji looked at his army and was very proud.

Some of the retainers who accompanied Rokkaku Yoshiji shook their heads secretly, they haven't left Iga Country yet, if they are out of Iga Country, what kind of scenery should it be, afraid of failure to this extent, Rokkaku Yoshiji is already mud can't support the wall, and the retainers are thinking that if they recapture the Guanyin Temple City, they will force him to live in seclusion and choose another virtuous lord to revitalize the Rokkaku family.

The half-day journey was almost a day away by Rokkaku Yoshiji, and when they came to the front of the Qimu Army, it was already close to evening, and the Qimu Army had already eaten up and was waiting for the arrival of the Hexagonal Army.

On the contrary, it was the Hexagonal Army, and when they suddenly saw the Qimu Army waiting solemnly in front, they were all a little flustered, and the Hexagonal Yoshiji panicked and arranged the four thousand troops into a circular tortoiseshell formation, with pikemen outside, archers inside, and Hexagonal Yoshiji was in the middle position.

A middle-aged retainer hurriedly came to Rokkaku Yoshiji's side and asked, "My lord, there is a Qimu army in front, and there are nearly two thousand troops in sight, do we want to attack or retreat?" ”

Rokkaku Yoshiji rolled his eyes and was about to scold, but finally endured it, and said with a pleasant face: "Xinding, I have already said before, when we meet Qimu Jiqin, we only need to strictly guard against it, there is Hirai Dingwu and others as the internal response, Qimu Jiqin sees that there is no opportunity for us to take advantage of, plus the backyard fire, it must only be able to flee in a hurry, when the time comes, we will slowly chase him behind, and finally trap him in the Guanyin Temple City, and Minami Omi will be ours again!" So we neither attack nor retreat. ”

"Yes, I see!"

The retainer named Xinding left satisfied, but the military situation on both sides was so weirdly confrontational, it was weird, but it was because the two families were nervously facing each other, but the side with fewer people put out a fish scale array, and the side with more people put up a tortoiseshell array.

In the formation of the two parties, Ji Qin and Rokkaku Yoshiji looked at each other from afar, and if they were divided into two shots, they could see that both of them were smiling at the corners of their mouths, and they didn't know who could laugh to the end. Rokkaku Yoshiji put on a tortoiseshell formation, making it clear that he would not attack, and Ji Qin did not intend to attack, and both of them had the idea of contrition.

However, Rokkaku Yoshiharu was waiting for Kikishi to withdraw his own troops, while Yoshiqin was waiting for Kotaro and others to transport the heads of those traitors to the front line, and forced Rokkaku Yoshiharu to give up the defense with the stimulus of the heads and the shattering of dreams, or attack Yoshiharu Yoshiharu at all costs, or abandon everything and flee back to Iga Province. Both outcomes were what Ji Qin wanted, but he was more inclined to the former.

The time soon entered the evening, the Hexagonal Army slowly retreated, set up a position ten miles away from the Qimu Army, and sent heavy troops to guard Ji Qin's night attack, of course, these were all in vain, because neither side wanted to fight for the time being, and did not give the other side a chance to attack, so it was a quiet and peaceful night on both sides.
