Chapter 84: Prepare for the Night Attack

"The sooner the better. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Gao Xianda and Shimada Hanzo said, "You should look for an opportunity to sneak into the city now." The best case scenario is, of course, to bring me Oda Nobunaga's head. But the three people on the other side are very powerful, I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with. So, if possible, I hope you will open the gates of Narumi Castle for me. Let the soldiers go into the city. ”

"Yes." Shimada Hanzo nodded, "If the city gate opens, I will send a signal to the sky." Prepare in advance under the city. ”

"Yes." Gao Xianda nodded.

He gave Kinoshita Tengjiro a condition for peace talks, and a large reason was also to paralyze them.

If Oda Nobunaga can really surrender, of course, it would be good, but when Gao Xianda met Gongoro, he was ready to let the ninja trio help attack the city. He couldn't accept giving up Narumi Castle to Oda Nobunaga. Oda Nobunaga is definitely not a person who can live under people.

Unexpectedly, Kinoshita Tengjiro actually gave himself a big gift. It's easy to convince Gongoro, but I'm afraid it's hard to convince Hanzo Shimada. This scythe is evidence that can play a decisive role in Hanzo Shimada.

After they left, Gao Xianda notified him and asked Matsudaira Motoyasu to lead his subordinates not to unload their armor at night and prepare for battle.

"My lord, are you preparing for a night attack?" Matsudaira Motoyasu asked, "Attacking a castle at night is not in keeping with the art of war." When it was dark, the soldiers could not see the mechanisms in the castle even more clearly. And if you want to illuminate, at least you have to take a torch and occupy a hand, which is very disadvantageous for the battle. ”

"Of course I do." Gao Xianda said, "I didn't let you climb the city wall with torches. Doesn't Oda Nobunaga like to rob camps at night, so we'll prepare in advance this time. ”

Gao Xianda was afraid that the news would leak and affect the infiltration of Shimada Hanzo, so even to Matsudaira Motoyasu, he did not tell the truth.

Matsudaira Motoyasu was puzzled, and said: "But they just robbed the camp a few days ago, and we killed a big defeat, I'm afraid they may not dare to come tonight, right?" ”

"That's not necessarily," Gao Xianda said: "The real is the virtual, and the virtual is the real." Although they failed to rob the camp, they did not hurt the roots. They sent envoys, ostensibly to negotiate peace, perhaps to paralyze us. We had to prepare in advance. ”

Gao Xianda believed that the other party's Chun Saburo was a tactician who liked to use treacherous tactics. Although Oda Nobunaga sent an envoy to come, the other party may not be able to accept Gao Xianda's conditions. Reinforcements from the Imagawa family are still arriving, so if it drags on, the Oda family will still be at a disadvantage. Therefore, if you want to steal the camp and rob the village, it is very likely that it will be tonight.

Of course, if they don't come tonight, there is nothing to lose from Coxenda. The real winner depends on the activities of the ninja trio in the city.

After all, Gao Xianda is now the head of the Imagawa family and the nominal commander of this army. And Gao Xianda did not let the soldiers of Mikawa go to die. So although Matsudaira Motoyasu felt that Gao Xianda was a little too cautious, there was nothing to lose by taking precautions in advance.

So he ordered his subordinates not to take off their armor tonight and to be ready for battle at any time.

Who knows, as soon as the sky was dark, another person came down from Narumi City, saying that he asked to see Gao Xianda.

"Who are you?" Gao Xianda asked, "Is Oda Nobunaga ready to open the gate and surrender?" ”

"Hui-sama, I'm the messenger of Sakuma Nobumori-sama." The man had a smile on his face and a look of flattery. But Gao Xianda could see that he didn't have a good impression of Gao Xianda.

"Oh? Can I help you? Gao Xianda suddenly became interested, and this matter is getting more and more interesting now. Knowing that the other party is a liar, he still has to play with the other party.

"Sakuma-sama received a notice from Kinoshita-sama, let me ask, is it true that whoever sacrifices Narumi Castle will be the lord of Narumi Castle?" The man asked.

"I didn't say anything like dedication." "I want the head of Oda Nobunaga." If it is only a verbal expression of submission, and in fact it is necessary for my soldiers to attack the city with blood, then I will not accept such a victory. ”

"Sure enough." The man sneered, "Sakuma-sama-sama has secretly united with the important ministers of the family and is planning this matter. It's just that the personal guards around Oda Nobunaga are very powerful. Now that there is a rumor in the city, he is also a little vigilant, and it is difficult for Oda Nobunaga to get close to Oda Nobunaga if he is not a particularly trusted person. This time, Sakuma-sama sent me out to confirm, I hope you will be calm and don't attack the castle, and give us a time to prepare. Sakuma-sama-sama will definitely give you a satisfactory answer. ”

Sakuma Nobumori is the old minister of Oda Nobunaga's family, and as the elder of the family, his status in the Oda family can be ranked in the top five. In Oda's house, it is often said that he attacked Shibata and retreated to Sakuma.

Attacking Shibata means that Shibata Katsuya is good at taking the lead in charging and conquering cities. And retreating Sakuma means that he is good at making the palace when retreating. Anyway, it's a brave general. Of the three teams that Oda Nobunaga stationed under Narumi Castle this time, one of them was led by Sakuma Nobumori.

It's just that when facing Matsudaira Motoyasu's Mikawa Army, this square team was defeated. He probably doesn't have many people under his command right now. He expected that after this defeat, his status in the Oda family would definitely not be as good as before, so it was better to contact Gao Xianda early and prepare in advance.

However, whether he surrendered sincerely or falsely did not matter to Goxianda. So Gao Xianda said coldly: "I can give you time, but it won't be too long." In three days, reinforcements from our Imagawa family will arrive, and at that time, if there is no news, we will officially attack you. Don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

"That's nature, that's nature." The man hurriedly smiled and agreed, "I will reply within three days!" ”

After receiving an affirmative answer from Gao Xianda, he left.

Of course, reinforcements from Okazaki Castle couldn't have arrived so quickly. The cavalry sent by Gao Xianda has not replied so far. Although Gao Xianda is not worried about the backlash of Okazaki City, reinforcements will not arrive for a while.

Gao Xianda told the man that he would attack in three days, both to deter the people in the city and to reassure them. At least for three days, they won't worry about Gao Xianda attacking.

Their attention was all focused on how to deal with Oda Nobunaga, so they didn't have the heart to defend the city.
