94 Night City

That night, the Nagao Army camp southwest of Hojo Castle was brightly lit, apparently holding a grand celebration feast.

During the banquet, Sasa Naruma drank too many alcoholic beverages, so he came out to pee.

Just as he was snorting and refreshed, he heard footsteps behind him.

It's not surprising that there are footsteps behind him, after all, it's a military camp, not a wilderness, but Cheng Zheng feels that this person is coming for him.

Keep making a noise, he still has a lot of water to put out.

Sure enough, a middle-aged uncle stood on Cheng Zheng's side and began to make a noise.

Cheng Zheng glanced at it, and it turned out to be Naoe Jinggang.

Naoe Keixuna is 47 years old, his head is already half-bald, his beard has not yet turned white, he is the old man of the Nagao family, and he owns about 40,000 koku of territory with Itachi and the surrounding area.

People are more popular than people, and there are 40,000 koku in one Toki County of Chengzheng, but when it comes to Echigo, the head of the pen of the Nagao family is only 40,000 koku...... In terms of peasants and soldiers, Echigo's mobilization power is undoubtedly greater than that of Mino, but when it comes to the strength of the lord of the country, it is more than a step weaker.

Echigo Guardian is not like the lord of the Echigo Hao clan, but like the alliance leader of the Echigo Hao clan.

Nagao Keihoo was able to gain a firm foothold in Echigo because of the support of the old Naoe Keixuna of the pen head family, and Kakizaki Keijia, the first fierce general of Echigo.

"Lady Sasa is really good for drinking."

Naoe Jinggang shook the bird twice, and sighed heartily while lifting his pants.

"Don't dare to be a ...... The kid is a rough man, he only knows how to drink cows, but he doesn't know elegance. ”

Sasa Narumasa replied while wearing his belt, thinking about Naoe Keitsuna's motives and purposes.

"Today's battle ...... Thanks to Lord Sasa's containment of Takahiro Hojo, otherwise it would have been unpredictable. ”

"Or else...... This battle relied on the command of the lord and the bloody battles of Lord Naoe and Lord Keishin, and the boy's modest strength was not worth mentioning. ”

"Huh...... Your Excellency is humble. ”

Naoe Jinggang scolded in his heart, and he did his best...... The martial arts that can tie with Hojo Takahiro, and the ashigaru who defeated twice the number of Hojo Takahiro's personal guards, these are all modest strengths, so where will he put his old face?

"Although we defeated Hojo Takahiro, it seems that this is also the limit of our side, if it is Hojo Takahiro Cage Castle...... Sun Ziyun, ten will surround it, five will attack it, our troops are not enough. ”

"Zuo's Spring and Autumn has a saying...... Now that we have won the victory, we should take advantage of the situation to march into the army. ”

Cheng Zheng was vague about the past, and his friendship with Naoe Jinggang was far from the level of heart-to-heart.

"This ......"

"Lost company."

Jing Gang wanted to discuss with Cheng Zheng again, but Cheng Zheng had already left in stride.

"Adults don't need to worry...... Hojo Castle is just that, and the city is only broken in an instant. ”

Hearing Sasa Chengzheng's words, Naoe Keizuna's eyebrows furrowed even tighter.

Breaking the city is only in a blink of an eye?

…… It's so young.

But when Naoe Keixuna returned to his seat, he encountered a bombshell!

"The key to breaking the city lies in the night city!"

Sasa Narimasa said to Nagao Jinghu.

"One Night City?"

"That's right! Tonight is enough! Please allocate half of my troops to my deployment, and in addition, please let Naoe-sama assist! ”

"One Night City ......"

Sister Jinghu held the wine glass and squinted her eyes.

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure! Please make a military order! ”

Cheng Zheng's words made the generals change color one after another.

He wants to make a military order? What a stupid fork......

Wouldn't it be bad if it didn't work?

"Naoe-sama...... What do you think? ”

"This ......"

Hearing Sister Jinghu's question, Naoe Jinggang hurriedly squeaked, but he was a little hesitant about how to answer.

One Night City ...... How ridiculous it sounds.

However, remembering Fang Cai's confident words...... Naoe Jingzuna actually felt an inexplicable sense of relief. Zuo Zuo Chengzheng is undoubtedly a stranger, but this strange guy does seem to have terrifying strength......

"I'm willing to help Zozo-sama!"

"Understood, you go! If you can't see a city before sunrise tomorrow, come and receive the punishment! ”

Although Sasa Naruma made a military order, Nagao Keiho obviously didn't believe that a city could be built overnight, and she slowly drank sake, waiting to see Sasa Narumasa's jokes.

Sasa Narumasa immediately pulled Naoe Keixuna away and summoned Ashigaru to start the operation.

First, they came to the nearby Chikuma River and smashed open the frozen river.

Beneath the ice, the Chikuma River still flows.

The ashigaru men of the Nagao Army, carrying ice and water, kept moving from the banks of the Chikuma River to the gates of Hojo Castle.

And about fifty paces in front of the gate of Hojo Castle, Ryutao C led a team of ashigaru shouting and shouting.

"The miscellaneous people in Hojo Castle, dare you go out of the city to fight!"

They blew the conch again and again, making the Hojo army in the city unable to live in peace, and also annoying Hojo Takahiro to death.

But in the darkness, it was difficult to see, and tonight the stars were bleak, and only the snow reflected a little light.

The snow is white, and of course the snow is also white, but this battlefield under the city has long been trampled on in the daytime, and the Hojo Army in the city can't see the specific location of the Long Tail Army, so they can only shoot a few arrows casually, which can be regarded as a response to the Long Tail Army's war.

In this way, the dragon set C under the castle fought with a team of ashigaru all night, and the Hojo army in the city did not hear the sound of rustling behind this team of ashigaru, nor did they have the time to think about what motive was hidden behind the long-tail army's move to find a pump.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!

The next day, the east showed the whiteness of the fish's belly.

It was still dark, but the sleepy-eyed defenders were surprised to discover a fact.

A castle was built on the opposite side of Hojo Castle!

Distance: fifty paces.

Just fifty steps from Hojo Castle, a castle was built!

Did the Long Tail take the medicine? How fierce is this!

An inexplicable panic quickly spread throughout Hojo Castle.

Soon after, the sun rose in the east and the sky was bright.

The golden sun shone on Hojo Castle and also on the ice castle opposite.

Ice City!

Overnight, the Nagao military mud and the water of the Chikuma River built an ice castle opposite Hojo Castle!

The height of the castle is no more than two meters, and the width is not more than ten zhang, and it is neither as high as the walls of Hojo Castle, nor as large as the castle of Hojo Castle, and there is nothing in the castle, let alone a castle tower.

But the walls have been built, will the castle tower be far away?

After breakfast, the long-tailed Jinghu inspected the new city accompanied by the generals.

She deliberately came to this wall facing the gate of Hojo Castle to observe the defense of Hojo Castle up close, regardless of the danger of being shot by the bow and arrow from the opposite side.

What are you observing? It's obviously a provocation!

Provocation!

The distance is only fifty paces, and the bow and arrow work! However, Hojo Takahiro did not give the order to release the arrows, because he was also close to this wall of the ice castle at the moment.

He seemed to have seen the face of the long-tailed Jinghu......

I! Happy! Cut! Grass!

At a time when the last reliance on the castle was no longer an advantage, Hojo Takahiro seemed to have foreseen his end.
