Chapter 340: The Battle of Sixteen Horsemen to Capture Inabayama Castle (4)
The 7,000-strong army of the monkey Kinoshita Toyoshiro set off from the upper confluence of the Nagara River, the Kiso River, and the Ihi River, along the roaring flood.
The water on his side was not as strong as that of Mt. Inaba, but it was still rushing towards the plains in the direction of Sumamata like a beast.
In this way, the rafts continued to fall together in the turbulent current. These rafts are built by experienced fishermen who guide them through every small step.
The main body of the raft is composed of four large pieces of wood used to build the beams, and then dozens of pieces of wood are bound together for wall panels and floors.
It is no exaggeration to say that the monkeys are making the most of their resources, and all the rafts are made of wood that was originally intended for the construction of the city. Of course, the timber used to make the raft is only a small part of all the materials used to build the city.
The fact that almost all of the towering trees in Mt. Zuiryuji were cut down was discovered by Ono Uemon, who was in charge of timber at Inabayama Castle, two hours after the monkeys set out.
When the timber priest found out, he was completely dumbfounded.
The dense forest of the entire Ruilongsi Mountain, except for the two or three circles on the periphery that are still towering ancient trees, the central area has all become bare tree stumps.
Ono Emon hurriedly rode his horse, ignoring that the rain had turned him into a soup chicken, and ran directly back to Inabayama Castle to report to Mino Kuni's disobedient grandson Saito Ryuko.
"What? You said that the ancient trees on Mt. Ruilongsi were all cut down? Mino's disobedient grandson Saito Ryuko was taken aback after listening to the report.
"The main hall, it's not good, this is Owari Province to build a castle in Sumamata! I guess it was done by the group of samurai in the wild! Hiroshi Hioneno, the head of Inabayama Castle, who was sitting across from him and drinking and having fun with him, suddenly shouted.
What he said surprised the disobedient grandson. But it's not something unbelievable. Owari Province has already built a castle in Sumata twice in a row, and it's not surprising that there is a third time now.
"Samurai in the wild? Hineno, why is no one staring at the big stupid melon of Owari Kuni? Disobedient grandson Saito Ryuxing yelled angrily at Hioneno Hiroshi.
However, he was wrong to blame Hineno Hiroshi. All the elders and important ministers of the entire Mino Province think that the big stupid melon of Owari Province went to Komaki Mountain to build a castle is the most noteworthy thing.
Now that the rain is so heavy, it has to cross the Kiso River and the Nagara River, where the water level has risen. It's almost impossible. Not to mention transporting enough timber to build the castle, crossing two fast-flowing rivers to the flooded Sumamata Plain.
Of course, this is because no one would have thought that the guys of Owari Province would go to the territory of their Mino Province and use the wood of Mino Province to build a castle. It can only be said that it is not that Mino is old and the important ministers are incompetent, but that the guys in Owari Province are too cunning.
"Who's guarding the Sumamata now?" Mino's disobedient grandson Saito Ryuko roared loudly. He had lost his cool and had completely forgotten who he had appointed.
"It is not to break Heishiro, and lead two thousand troops to garrison." Fortunately, the disobedient grandson Saito Ryuko lost his cool, but Hineno Hiroshi did not. Therefore, he hastened to reply.
"Two thousand? Inadequate! Hurry up and gather the 3,000 foot light team to come over. Saito Ryuxing shouted and jumped up and down, looking very anxious.
Hineno Hiroshi was taken aback after hearing the words of his disobedient grandson Saito Ryuko. The garrison of Inabayama Castle consisted of only 4,000 ashigaru troops in total. The disobedient grandson took away three thousand ashigaru at once, and Inabayama Castle was immediately left with only a quarter of the garrison.
Hineno Hiroshi just wanted to admonish him to stop it, but he was stopped by his disobedient grandson Saito Ryuxing with a direct wave of his hand.
"Hineno, shut up! My grandfather had inadvertently mentioned that there were at least 3,000 samurai in the wilderness in Mino. Presumably, Owari is similar. Do you dare to guarantee that 2,000 people are enough? The disobedient grandson yelled at Hineno Hiroshi.
After listening to the words of his disobedient grandson, Hineno Hiroshi completely understood. Since it was the words of the late old master. That must not be fake. He hurriedly organized his men and horses to rush out of Inabayama Castle and run in the direction of Sumamata.
However, he didn't know that his actions had completely plunged Inabayama Castle into an unprecedented crisis.
Wang Tianxie had already disobeyed his grandson Saito Ryuxing and would definitely send troops to attack Momata, after all, this is human nature.
Therefore. When he took Shota Koshota and Mitsuhide Lori to the top of Inabayama Mountain, he had already ordered the little beautiful ninja Kashin and the thirteen Owari Province orphan army, and when the garrison of Inabayama Castle came out for half an hour, it was the time for them to start acting.
On that day, Neno Hiroshi rushed to Sumamata with a 3,000-foot light team, and was the first to act. It's the little beauty ninja fruit heart.
The mission of the little beautiful ninja is to take advantage of the mist caused by the rain to assassinate the ashigaru team patrolling around Inabayama Castle.
This task is simply a breeze for the super elite ninja little beauty ninja fruit heart in the elite upper ninja. Even without the help of the rain, she was confident that she would assassinate all the patrolling Ashigaru teams, let alone the pouring waterfall rain right now.
Therefore, the little beauty ninja can be said to be full of skills, and various moves emerge in endlessly.
I saw her pounce on the enemy from behind, and her right hand instantly grabbed the opponent's left arm and broke it in the opposite direction, and suddenly there was a "click" sound. Immediately afterwards, she turned around against the enemy's back, grabbed the opponent's right arm and broke it in the opposite direction again, and there was another "click" sound. Then, she covered the other party's mouth with one hand, hugged the other party's head with the other, and twisted the other party's head hard, and the other party's neck bone was broken instantly.
Or pounce on the enemy from behind, suddenly jump when approaching the opponent, turn a 360-degree somersault in mid-air and pounce on the opponent's head, clamp the opponent's neck with both feet and lift it hard, and the opponent is immediately thrown to the ground. Immediately afterward, she stabbed the other party's neck with a small knife in both hands.
Of course, there are more than these two moves of the little beautiful ninja, but the rest will not be described here.
The only thing that must be said is that the movements of the little beautiful ninja seem to be flowing smoothly. Although each of her moves is at least more than 100 or 200 words, it is actually only a time to take a breath, and she doesn't even have time to exhale, which can be said to be extremely fast!
At the same time, thirteen Owari Orphan Army generals also began to take action. The streets of Inabayama Castle's castle town, some of the larger ones suddenly turned into a sea of fire.
It turned out that as early as late last night, this group of generals took advantage of the low visibility caused by the heavy rain and the darkness of the night to secretly smear most of the houses in the castle town of Inabayama Castle with vegetable oil.
Although a lot of the vegetable oil was washed onto the streets by the rain, some of the houses still started to burn. In addition, because it is oil, the rain directly carries the fire to all corners of the castle town.
Soon, the entire castle town was transformed into a torch in the torrential rain. The 1,000 guards who were originally stationed in Inabayama Castle hurriedly separated most of the people to open the gates of Inabayama Castle Ninomaru and Sannomaru and ran out to help put out the fire.
At this moment, Inabayama Castle Honmaru seemed to have his clothes torn into strips of muslin, and most of the little beauties on his body were "gone", showing in front of the thirteen generals.
According to Wang Tianxi's plan, three orphan army generals will take advantage of the chaos to attack the castle tower under the leadership of the little beautiful ninja and the half-guard Komasita of Takenaka, and beg for the death of the disobedient grandson Saito Ryuko.
Of course, this task is not easy for Shota Kosada's party, including the little beautiful ninja, who is only five people.
When the three generals in charge of attacking the castle tower arrived at Honmaru, Wang Tianxie had already opened the entrance to Honmaru from the inside. Shota Nachiko was already holding a big sword and waiting for the three generals.
Xiao Zhengtai didn't care at all about not being able to find the figure of the little beautiful ninja fruit. Because, he knew that Master's personal ninja must have been hidden in a place he couldn't see at this moment.
Hawkers,Xiao Zhengtai's confidence in the hidden skills of the little beauty ninja is definitely a big drop.。
At this time, most of the garrison Ashigaru had been scattered in the courtyards of castle towns, Sannomaru, Ninomaru, and Honmaru. But everyone knows that there must still be a certain number of guards guarding the castle tower.
Therefore, Komasita did not dare to go straight to the top floor of the castle tower, but led the three attendants and began to sweep up layer by layer, so as not to fall into the siege of the castle tower's guards.
The remaining ten generals had already rushed to the place they were in charge of at this time, throwing "vegetable oil incendiary bombs" everywhere to riot, distracting the attention of the Inabayama Castle garrison for Shota Koshota, and creating the illusion that Inabayama Castle was under siege by thousands of people for Komasita and his party.
Just listen to the warning bell in Inabayama Castle, when the local area is constantly ringing, the violent storm reflects the firelight everywhere, and the entire Inabayama Castle is shrouded in thick black smoke.
As for Wang Tianxie at this moment, he pounced on Ninomaru in Inabayama Castle in the opposite direction.
He will not be involved in the mission to kill Mino Kuni's disobedient grandson Saito Ryuko, nor will he be involved in the mission of causing a disturbance in Inabayama Castle. His goal was a large courtyard in Ninomaru in Inabayama Castle.
The area around this large courtyard is the only area where no Commanders of the Owari Province Orphan Army have been assigned to riot. Because, Wang Tianxie knew that if he sent people here to create a riot, he would undoubtedly send people to death.
Because, this large courtyard is shrouded in a pentagram barrier, and the courtyard was originally inhabited by five onmyoji, who disobeyed their grandson Saito Ryuko and did not know where to find it.
Well, of course, there are only four left now.
Wang Tianxie's target is these four onmyoji. Before his subsequent move could be successfully staged, he had to use all his methods to hold back the four onmyoji and prevent them from leaving half a step.
Fortunately, according to the news that the little beautiful ninja inquired about, it seems that in addition to practicing various yin-yang methods, these four onmyoji do not know how to drive the twelve heavenly generals and twelfth generals in the hands of the great onmyoji Abe Harumi more than five hundred years ago.
The only guy who knows how to drive the Twelve Heavenly Generals and the Twelfth Heavenly Generals has been used by Wang Tianxie to use the greatest mystery of Princess Medusa and Butterfly Ji to use the "Ghost Fire. "Butterfly Flurry" turned into a dried corpse. (To be continued......)
