Chapter 354: Silent Night

This battle is called the Battle of Igarashi River, the two white-armored samurai are naturally the long-tailed tiger Ji and Ii Naotora, the two girls are bold enough to deceive the Tochio Castle defender with the Ji samurai quietly follow the army to chase over, the Honjo army does not know the two white-armored samurai, it doesn't matter, there is the general of the Kira army, Watanabe Takatsuna as a cover, so that they can easily break into the main army formation.

The two girls exerted their strong cavalry command ability, and personally led one hundred and fifty horsemen to rush down from the hillside under the protection of the three hundred cavalry of the Nagao family, and caught the Ada and Ashina coalition forces on the march by surprise, and the defeat of the Date and Ashina coalition forces, the two girls reaped a valuable victory for the first time in person.

If Ji Liang Yoshishi is here, he will definitely sigh: "It is advisable to chase the poor bravely, and not to sell the name of the overlord!" The two girls were well versed in military strategy, and this was a good time to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and the two led the cavalry all the way to escape from the Ida and Ashina coalition forces to the mountains and forests, and they couldn't even go back to the camp of Hakama Mountain, so they could only grit their teeth and run away desperately.

The pursuit lasted all the way until the sun was westward before barely holding the formation, at this time the fallen Ida, Ashina coalition was captured nearly 1,000 people, plus the prisoners after breaking through the formation for the first time, this time more than 1,700 prisoners were harvested, more than 400 people were directly killed, and more than 200 people were killed in the process of pursuit, and their own losses were less than 100 people, which was really a big profit.

When Honjo Minoru found that there were more than 100 elite cavalry in this formation, he realized that it was going to be bad, and when these more than 100 cavalry took off his helmet, more than 100 little girls with long hair and shawls showed delicate and pretty beauty, and thousands of soldiers were dumbfounded, and Honjo Kiyoshichiro was frightened. Honjo passed out on the spot.

Fortunately, the two little girls knew that they had caused a big disaster. Always with a face as a throat chakra without showing a face. With one hundred and fifty little girls, he ran back to Tochio Castle and didn't dare to come out, and no one dared to question the origin of these two people at that time, and in the end, Honjo really found a vague reason to fool the past.

This battle completely defeated the Date and Ashina coalition forces back to Aizu, and the Date and Ashina coalition forces that had lost their grain and grass had no possibility of turning back, and they only had two or three days of food on their bodies, and it was extremely unrealistic to turn back and get back the bargain. Eating their food and guarding their nest, waiting for some unwilling rabbit to come to the door, only to wait for five days without any news before they were sure that they had escaped.

……

Nagao City Uemon waist crotch knife swayed over slowly,Recently, his little life is good.,The eldest son made some meritorious contributions on the battlefield and was selected into the Nagao family.,Last month, the younger son and the daughter of the Ishikawa Dingemon family set a family affair.,Agreed to settle the marriage the year after tomorrow.。

Last year, the eldest daughter married Maori Gaoding, and the younger daughter's family affairs are almost finalized, and in a little more than a month, the eldest daughter-in-law will give birth to the grandson of Nagao City Righte. He has always believed that this must be the eldest grandson, so he doesn't believe the sour words said by the long-tail Youjing Shaojin next door. As long as there is another grandson, this year will be the great consummation of the four joys.

Thinking about private matters and accidentally bumping into someone, Nagao City Uemon hurriedly retreated and apologized: "I'm sorry I was a little distracted just now...... It turned out to be a long-tail note! How do you have time to visit here today? Huh! Look at what I said, I'm really embarrassed, my eldest daughter-in-law is about to give birth, and I'm thinking about what to give the child a good name recently. ”

Nagao Xingli walked into the inner city with more than a dozen strong men each carrying a heavy cage, and when he saw Nagao City's Uemon entangled, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he secretly said that it was not easy to refute the face of this person, so he smiled and said: "It's good to have a baby!" Words of young names...... How about calling it Kotakemaru? ”

Nagao City Uemon said with a happy face: "Geji is a person who has a university question, and this young name must be the best!" It's called Kotakemaru! ”

"A layman! But he's useful for writing. "Kori Nagao" Ahem! Today happens to be the Double Ninth Festival, my lord has prepared to write pastries to eat to comfort the soldiers who defend the city, so please send it to the brothers below, and everyone will have fun together! ”

"Oops! That's so much thanks to the Enoe Guardian Temple! Speaking of which, Yuanjiang Shoudian is a great good man of our Changwei family, and everyone who treats people well says that he is good, and the only bad thing is his son...... Yes! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, look at my broken mouth, I should be beaten! Hehehe! "Nagao City's Uemon is, and Nagao Kori Ren's words are as black as the bottom of a pot.

As the saying goes, you don't hit people in the face, Nagao Kori can be regarded as understanding what kind of reputation his nephew is, and finally sent Nagao City Uemon away, turned back to Shikiya and was about to discuss things, when he saw Nagao Fuji Jing sitting under the porch in a daze, Nagao Kori leaned over with a shy face: "Brother, is Keiji back?" ”

"Humph!" Nagao Fujikei turned his face away from him.

Nagao Xingli was too lazy to be bored, and when he walked into the house, he saw that his nephew was drinking and having fun with the two concubines in his arms, and he was dizzy when the house was full of wine, and he hurriedly restrained the nephew who was messing around, drove away the troublesome concubine, closed the paper door, turned his face and reprimanded: "When are you still drinking now, just now I met Ichiemon who is still talking about you, you can't drink less seriously, so you can survive today!" ”

"Anyway, you all say that about me, no matter how hard you try, the mud can't hold up the wall, why can't I drink and have fun, why can't others can't, I just want to drink!" Nagao Keiji picked up the wine bottle and poured it into his mouth angrily, and only after taking a sip did he choke and cough, and only stopped after taking a sigh of relief.

Nagao Xingli moved the real fire, and said sharply: "Drink! Why don't you drink it? If you are drunk, you can also worry about it, so as not to cause trouble and kill others when you act. ”

Nagao Keiji was frightened, and his uncle, who had never seen a good temper, got angry, and said, "I...... I don't drink anymore! Uncle should you tell us about our actions, have you sent in all the food with croton? ”

Nagao Xingli proudly showed off: "Hmph! Does the old man still need to talk about things? The old man of Nagao City's Uemon Sutra volunteered to distribute the food to the soldiers guarding the city below, as long as they eat these pastries and eat, it doesn't take two hours to pull their legs and feet to resist by force, and then this Kasuga Mountain Castle will be ours! ”

"That's good! That's great! Nagao Keiji applauded excitedly, and after a while, he seemed to have a retrospective and asked suspiciously: "Why don't we just poison them all to death, and use croton to pull for two or three days at most to recover our strength, aren't we more dangerous at that time?" ”

"Stupid, the smell of poison is so loud that you think they are all fools! In a hurry, where to find the legendary colorless and odorless poison! Takeda Daizen did his best to provide us with a hundred Penetrating Ninjas and two hundred ronin samurai, plus the five hundred soldiers of our Shimoda Nagao family, and the military strength of several other families totaling 1,000 people, in case someone finds out that the problem leaks our purpose, Kasuga Mountain Castle closed the mountain gate and urgently recruited the townspeople, and there is no problem in recruiting five or seven thousand people in an instant, how can we stop them with this army? All the efforts made before have been wasted. Nagao Xingli's eyes were as sharp as knives, and the body of Nagao Keiji, who was staring, shrunk into a ball.

"Without further ado, hurry up and wash off your alcohol and get ready for the evening."

On the night of the Double Ninth Festival, the autumn breeze blows and the waning moon is like a hook, and there was also the custom of the Double Ninth Festival in medieval Japan, on this day, people drink chrysanthemum wine to appreciate the chrysanthemums and make a chrysanthemum feast to celebrate the departure of autumn, so it was once called the Autumn Departure Festival, and on this day the palace of Kyoto will also hold a grand national concert, drink and compose poems to celebrate.

Today's Kasuga mountain castle is particularly quiet, perhaps because the main general led the army outside, and everywhere is empty, so that this majestic mountain castle is a little less fireworks, and at the middle of the night, the townspeople who are on the watch lightly knock on the bang, and they don't know where to hide to doze the cat.

Outside the city wall on the southeast side of the mountain city in spring, the soldiers patrolling suddenly became much rarer, even if they were lax in the past, there were always a few torches patrolling around the city wall, but today there was no torch, the last few lights on the top of the mountain far away were extinguished, and the whole mountain city became pitch black, and there was not even a single torch on the city wall, and the quiet needle drop could be heard around.

Suddenly, there was a sound of a rope in the woods outside the city, and after a while, dozens of dark figures burst out, they held hooks and claws, shoulders, and ropes with the help of instruments to climb the city wall very neatly, and after a while, the small door on the side was gently pushed open, and a large group of black pressed ashigaru emerged from the trees in the distance, and quickly squeezed into the side door to rush into the city.

"Hurry! Don't be stunned to guard the gates in the castle and don't let your guard down, my brother and Keiji followed me and immediately rushed to the Honmaru to control the castle tower, we must hurry up and catch Nagao Keishin! "Nagao Xingli came out of nowhere, commanding a thousand troops to blockade Kasuga Mountain City, more than a thousand people acted together, and the sound of the armor leaf colliding, and the heavy footsteps were a little inexplicable dull in the dark night.

Things went unexpectedly smoothly, it seemed that all the defenders in Kung Fu City disappeared in the middle of the night, and there was not a single figure in either the city or the arrows, and Nagao Xingli's heart was heavy, and he said secretly: "Is this croton really so powerful, just put down all the warriors in the city in the middle of the night?" Or did he use special means to control the defenders in the city? ”

Time was pressed and I didn't have time to ask Kai Topo what he had done, Nagao Xingli led the five hundred elite soldiers of the headquarters to carry Nagao Fujikei, Nagao Keiji father and son all the way to the top of the mountain without hindrance, and when they arrived at Honmaru, there was still no figure in Honmaru, and Nagao Xingli panicked.
