Chapter 767: It's Not Just Ghosts
Tsuchiya Masatsune's words made Takeda Katsuyori involuntarily feel a good melancholy in his heart.
"How many ashigaru are there now?" Katsuyori Takeda didn't want to mention the sad place of Tsugasakikan anymore, so he tried to change the subject.
Unfortunately, the answer he received once again made him feel bitter.
"The main hall, the number of people was counted just now, and now there are only two hundred left, as for those maids...... There are only more than 70 people left. Tsuchiya replied with some resignation.
"Two hundred? Hehe...... It's really sad! Takeda Katsuyori smiled self-deprecatingly.
Tsuchiya Masatsune didn't reply, he really didn't know what words to say comfortingly. With only a military formation of 200 people, I am afraid that even if you arrive in Rock Temple City, you will only end up in a situation where you will be sent to the fence.
Of course, this was because he still didn't know that Huirinji had received an order from Hatsushika Emon to prepare to attack them at night.
Takeda Katsuyori still didn't tell the other party the news he had heard from the host of the Huilin Temple. He still blindly believed that this was nothing more than a lie made up by the monk in order to reject him, in order to fear being attacked by the combined forces of Oda and Tokugawa.
"Changheng, let's go, don't wait for the messenger. Now that the demon has entered the Ashigasaki Pavilion, it must be safe here. Takeda Katsuyori thought about it and said to Tsuchiya Masatsune.
"Yes, I'm going to get ready." Tsuchiya Masahiro hurriedly agreed.
At the same time, Wang Tianxi and Tokugawa Ieyasu finished breakfast and walked into the study of the Kusakikan together.
"Is there any news from Hanzo?" Wang Tianxie looked at the furnishings in the study and asked Tokugawa Ieyasu beside him, but the other party shook his head slightly.
This time, Wang Tian Xie Ming did not bring ninjas with him, so all the news was in charge of the Hattori ninjas under Tokugawa Ieyasu, and the leader was Hattori Hanzo, the ninja of the Hattori ninjas.
"The Great Hall. I came back in the lower half-hiding. ”
While the two were talking, a ninja wrapped in brown and yellow clothes from head to toe descended from the sky.
"Hanzo, how's it going?" Tokugawa Ieyasu asked, looking at the ninja kneeling in front of him.
"The main hall, His Royal Highness the Heavenly Evil, Takeda Katsuyori is still in the Wanfu Temple, but it is estimated that he is about to leave depending on the trend. As for Hatsuka, Uemon has already come out. Arriving at the top of Bamboo Ridge Mountain. Hattori Hanzo replied with his head bowed.
Tokugawa Ieyasu nodded after hearing this.
However, he didn't know that his retainer was numb in his back at the moment, and cold sweat continued to ooze from his pores.
Hattori Hanzo is the head of the Hattori ninjas, and he is very clear about every piece of information about this battle, but it is precisely because of it that he feels very frightened.
It can be said that he understands the difference between this battle and the previous ones, and finally understands why the Oda family has become the overlord of Kanchu and Kansai.
Oda Wang Tianxie...... It's not just a ghost, it's a wise general who doesn't miss anything!
He really couldn't figure it out. Why did Wang Tianxian think that the presiding officer of that Huilin Temple would definitely not let Takeda Katsuyori live in the temple, but the abbot of Manpukuji Temple was the opposite.
Moreover, almost every city captured in this battle was in danger.
Could it be that this evil ghost of the Oda family had already been confident about the outcome of this battle, and had long since understood that the samurai of the Takeda family had no intention of fighting, and was ready to watch the attack of the Oda family and his own family like a bamboo?
To know. As a qualified "intelligence chief", Hattori Hanzo was well aware of every Tokugawa samurai sent by Wang Tianxi. In this battle, they all made great gains, as if the samurai of the Takeda family had long lost their fighting spirit.
"Oh? Okay, Chiyo Take, let's hold an emergency military meeting, this battle will be over soon! After listening to Hattori Hanzo's words, Wang Tianxie nodded and said to Tokugawa Ieyasu with a smile.
Soon. The samurai of the Oda family, led by the Maeda Toshiie, and the Tokugawa samurai, led by Tadashi Okubo, all gathered in the main hall of the Kushizakikan building.
"His Royal Highness Shengzi, I heard His Highness the Heavenly Evil say that this battle is about to end?" Okubo Tadashi looked excitedly at Honda Gundam Lori, who was sitting across from him.
"Uncle Shichiro Uemon. Since my husband said so, it will definitely be. Honda Gundam Lori nodded in reply, causing Maeda Toshiya and Maeda Keiji who were sitting next to him to quickly avoid it.
It was really the "antler wedge standing pocket" heavy helmet that little Lori was wearing, and the cold and sharp antlers that were nearly half a meter long hit the two of them with the movements of Little Lori.
Shichiro Uemon is the clan name and Miao character of Okubo Tadashi, and the full name should be Okubo Shichiro Uemon Tadashi.
Since Okubo Tadashi can also be regarded as watching Honda Gundam little Lori grow up, therefore, when Little Lori calls each other, she uses a very affectionate name.
Interestingly, Tadashi Okubo looked at the heavy battle helmet on Xiao Lori's head, and he also felt some itchy scalps.
it! What kind of bad taste does this have to make a loli wear such a murderous helmet!
"Silence! The main hall and the Heavenly Evil Highness have arrived! ”
Just as Okubo Tadashi pointed to the helmet of the little Lori and teased, Tokugawa Ieyasu's Konoe flag head suddenly shouted loudly.
The originally lively hall instantly quieted down, and everyone's eyes looked at the sliding door of the hall.
Soon, Tokugawa Ieyasu was in front, and Wang Tianxie walked into the main hall in the back.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have good news for you. As long as one more day passes, this time the battle will be victorious! Tokugawa Ieyasu stood in his seat and raised his right fist and shouted.
"Hey! Hi! Ho! ”
The Tokugawa samurai present shouted loudly. They never imagined that one day their own family would be able to become a Nakadaimyo sitting on the border of Shikoku.
You must know that Wang Tianxie had already made it clear at the beginning of the battle that he led the Oda family out of the battle this time just to avenge his daughter, and as for the Kai Province and Suruga Province in the hands of the Takeda family, they were all owned by Tokugawa Ieyasu.
"Then, let's let Brother Tianxiao continue to serve as the general and give orders!" Tokugawa Ieyasu continued after the crowd cheered.
At this time, all the Tokugawa samurai present had long since ceased to have even a trace of unhappiness in their hearts about Wang Tianxie serving as the chief general.
Wang Tianxie's strategic layout had already convinced their group of Tokugawa samurai.
They finally understood why even Okubo Tadashi, the chief patriarch of the family who regarded the Tokugawa family as the glory in his heart, would be the first to express his support for Wang Tianxie as the chief general.
"First of all, Hanzo, you pay close attention to the movements of Takeda Katsuyori and Hatsuka Uemon." Wang Tianxie nodded, sat in his seat and said.
"Imperial Will!"
"Secondly, Yasumasa Kamihara and Shumasa Ishikawa, the two of you led the two thousand foot light teams of the headquarters to approach Takeshiling, the closer you get to Takeda Katsuyori, the more you have to shout, there is no need to use these two thousand people to condense the momentum of 20,000 people!"
"Imperial Will!"
……
One after another orders were issued from Wang Tianxie's mouth, and the imaginary orders included almost all possible accidents, which once again made Hattori Hanzo, the head of the ninja, feel sincerely admired.
"Good! In this way, presumably that Takeda Katsuyori can only flee in the direction of Tianmu Mountain. Okubo Tadayo and Sakai Tadaji, the two of you follow me and Takechiyo in the direction of Mt. Tenmu. Wang Tianxie finally put his hands together and looked at Okubo Tadashi and Sakai Tadaji.
"Imperial Will!"
Okubo Tadashi and Sakai Tadaji listened to Wang Tianxi's order and hurriedly agreed loudly.
"Good! The whole army is out of battle! ”
After the two agreed, Wang Tianxie waved his right hand vigorously and shouted loudly in his mouth. (To be continued......)
