Chapter Twenty-Eight: Wind and Cloud! Barrel room

The true cup is to destroy the most beautiful things in front of you to show you.

And the so-called tableware, when you make up your mind to break the cup, you suddenly find that the goods are actually titanium alloy......

……

……

This day is the 18th day of May in this world.

However, if you use the modern calendar, it should already be June.

The thick fog that started in the morning also told us that it was indeed the rainy season. Although the weather was sunny, it felt quite muggy due to the high humidity and temperature. Even if it doesn't rain and there is no sunshine, it's just a constant cloudy day......

In short, it's very damp, it's damp, it's damp, it's important to say it three times, and the whole environment is wet anyway.

Even in the advanced and developed modern times, people will bring certain troubles to their lives because of this continuous cloudy and rainy weather phenomenon. Therefore, in the Warring States Period, when the conditions were relatively backward in all aspects, the feeling was even more recalcing, and it could even be said to belong to the level of torture.

It's rainy, there's no sunshine, the air humidity isn't great, and the temperature is terrible -

It's inconvenient to travel and do things, and a little more exercise will make people feel that the clothes on their bodies are sticky. In such a situation, people will naturally feel tightness in the chest, depression, depression, irritability, feel uncomfortable all over, and have no interest in doing anything.

Mu Xiu's physical fitness in all aspects is far beyond that of ordinary people, so he naturally feels much better, but he is not happy at all.

On the contrary, whenever he looked at the gloomy sky, felt the moist moisture in the air, and stepped on the muddy road under his feet, his face would turn dark again.

- This made several Ashigaru group leaders and nearly 100 soldiers under his command tremble because of this. After discovering that no matter what they did, there was no way to make the expression on this person's face look a little better, and their marching training could undoubtedly only be redoubled, for fear of touching this adult's moldy head.

Although in the past few days of marching, and occasionally breaking out of skirmishes, they have seen that the newly promoted Ashigaru Shogun does not seem to be very proficient in warfare, so he has been silently studying and memorizing, basically rarely speaking or making any decisions in person, and only when they are too rash and relaxed, they will only stop it silently.

However, this does not mean that they will not have the eyes to think that they are qualified to play some kind of tricks against this one.

You must know that the person in front of you is said to be an alien who has crossed the ocean from that mysterious ancient country on the other side of the distant sea.

The reason why he became an Ashigaru Shogun at such a young age was precisely because he single-handedly forced the entire Oda Army's main camp about ten days ago and disrupted the plans of the enemy army on the opposite side, so he was commended. And it's not the kind that fights with the independent legion of the general, but follows the main camp and directly obeys the orders of the lord.

Besides, being young or something, it's definitely not a reason to underestimate him-

In the past few days, the soldiers of this formation have already seen with their own eyes, and this young man's extremely clever swordsmanship can be described as a real bloodless swordsman realm that sharpens iron like clay!

Steel can be cut with steel, and cutting iron is like chopping soil, which is the realm of cutting iron without any discount!

This group of Qiu Ba is itself a symbol and synonym for violence in this era, and it is precisely because of this that they understand the nature of power more than anyone else, and will subconsciously respect the owner of more powerful force-

Of course, there is no such thing as the fashionable value bonus of the ancient Chinese background set by Mu Xiu, as well as some subtle psychological reasons similar to the so-called "admiration for foreigners".

Mu Xiu didn't think about it so much, in his opinion, the time is tight now, and only if there are any problems or hidden dangers, it is worth paying too much attention. And these Qiu Ba under his command are obviously convinced of themselves, not the kind that Yang Feng Yin violates, and this is enough.

Besides, it's clear that the things that need attention right now aren't trivial......

Thinking like this, I was worried, and time passed inexorably to the next day.

……

……

Date: June 12, 1560 A.D.

Or rather...... In the third year of Yonglu, on the 19th day of the fifth month.

"Today...... Maybe it's going to rain too, maybe it's really today? ”

Somewhere in the middle of the barren mountains and mountains, surrounded by dense forests, on a narrow flat land surrounded by dense forests, thousands of soldiers were waiting to set up camp around them, setting up various checkpoints.

Outside of this formation, Mu Xiu took a hard breath of air, and then although he said that he was mentally prepared, the humidity in the air still made him frown.

In this kind of weather, when the plot of "Barrel Narrow Battle" is triggered, even if it happens to catch up with the rainstorm like the original plot, it is a very probable event.

So, this is simply the death of the Imagawa clan!

Not to mention his top boss, the girl who has a beautiful face like a Japanese doll, like a lady of the court and nobles, but her own personality is ...... It's extremely bad-

Thinking about it so bitterly, Mu Xiu looked at the main formation not far ahead, and felt that the future was even darker.

Because the lord of Kurocho Nao, who set out from the city overnight last night, had already begun to complain about words like "It's so hot today" at the same time that the sun was rising today, and then ordered the army to be stationed on the spot.

However, it is surrounded by a narrow flat land, and the only thing to rely on is a mountain to the west that can be used as a barrier slightly, which means that the main camp of the general of the Imagawa army and the eldest lady of Imagawa Yoshimoto is now garrisoned at the foot of the mountain with a poor view.

And that's, according to the scout's report, the name of the mountain to the west—

Coincidentally, it is called "Barrel Narrow Mountain".

The so-called fate is probably so malicious. Mu Xiu didn't know what to say about this, if it weren't for the fact that he still received other people's salaries after all, and his strong sense of responsibility did not allow it, he would probably be seriously thinking about picking his son and leaving at this time.

He is still insisting on it, but you can imagine how honest and trustworthy he is......

Well, although there are some other reasons, but it's really only a little!

After reopening the side quest released by the "Lord God" and taking a look, Mu Xiu let out a long sigh and went back after patrolling around the outside of the formation.

Although he himself did not have much knowledge of military strategy and the like, even the most direct military acts, such as leading troops to fight, had only begun to be practiced in the past few days. However, at this moment, he could still see at a glance how unwise it was to set up camp in this ghost place.

It can only be said that the main formation alone has 5,000 troops, and only one main formation can crush the Imagawa army in the entire territory of Owari, which is not only relatively too strong, but also inevitably makes the black long Nao Lady too proud and complacent.

"Yuanyasu? Yuankang ——? ”

"Yes—I'm here, Yoshimoto-sama—"

Miss Kuro Nao, who was enjoying the cool air elegantly in this formation, called Matsudaira Motoyasu, who was busy running around, in front of him at this time.

And in the face of the lord of the country who shouted the words "It's so hot" in his mouth, but was unwilling to take off the twelve dresses on his body, and just let the maids serve with a group fan on the side, Matsudaira Motoyasu also showed a submissive attitude that was willing to go to the soup at any time.

"Our family is going to rest here for a while to recuperate. But it looks like it's going to rain this weather, so let's build a roof for our family's main camp......," the black and straight girl said leisurely.

"Okay, Yoshimoto-sama." The tanuki-like girl always had that hearty smile on her face, and she agreed directly to it.

And at this time, the curtain of the curtain was lifted—

"Wait, you can't really stay here, Lord of the Nation." Mu Xiu walked in with a frown, and first looked at the empty appearance around the curtain, only himself and the three people opposite, and immediately raised his eyebrows.

"Huh?"

Imagawa Yoshimoto blinked her big black eyes, as if facing Mu Xiu's slightly unnatural look, she turned her face slightly sideways, and tilted her head as if confused, "So, do you have any other opinions?" ”

"The formation of 20,000 troops in a long line, even if it is to show the strength of their army, but it is too slow, at this rate, even if it is smooth sailing along the way, it will take at least nearly a month for us to successfully reach Kyoto......"

The boy didn't think much of it, and to be honest, all he had left was what was likely to happen today.

"With such a slow movement speed and such a long front, it's a bit too risky. As long as there is a heart, the Oda family is likely to find out the specific location of your home camp and launch a surprise attack...... Especially here, the surrounding flat land is too narrow, and the trees are dense to obscure the view, and if it rains again, it will be troublesome—"

Completely ignoring the expression of the eldest lady in front of him, Mu Xiu lowered his head and thought about it, while organizing the language, and slowly said the thoughts that he had only finished thinking about in his heart.

He glanced back, his eyes seemed to penetrate directly through the curtain of the tent, and when he saw the outside, he shook his head again and again: "So I think it's better not to garrison troops in this place." If you're really tired and want to take a break, please move to the nearby mountains, so you don't have to worry about enemy attacks......

Oda Shinna has not even completely unified the entire territory of Owari yet, and the maximum number of troops that can be assembled is only similar to the current strength of Miss Imagawa's main camp. Therefore, if it is stationed in the mountains, it is impossible to be attacked by surprise under any circumstances.

Although Mu Xiu, who had just been promoted a few days ago and had a little standing to speak, had already tried several times, now he still had to work hard again to see if he could change the fate of the "Barrel Narrow Battle" in terms of details.

It's just that if it's such an easy trajectory to change, it's not fate.

Similarly, since the "Lord God" has already issued a relevant mission for this historical turning point, it means that the reward is definitely not something that can be obtained with a few empty words.

As before, Imagawa Yoshimoto did not intend to take Mu Xiu's suggestion, but his attitude was relatively better.

The black long straight girl raised her fan, and her eyes flickered in the direction of another empty object: "No, no, it's too tiring to climb the mountain, so Miss Ben won't ......do it."

"But didn't you take a sedan chair before, my lord? And you don't have to walk on your own......" Mu Xiu looked slightly speechless.

"Don't. Taking a sedan chair to climb the mountain will shake very much, and our family will be dizzy. A flash of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes, and the lord of the kingdom forced himself to calm down and continued to shake his head calmly.

"But the land in this area is really not conducive to our army's foothold here, it is better to go to the Barrel Sayama Mountain, in case the enemy really launches a surprise attack......" The young man admonished the other party with a wry smile.

He felt that there was ample necessity to garrison troops on the mountain.

But for some reason, he can't just say to the other party without evidence, "The Oda army will definitely attack, and you are likely to lose or even die in battle today", right?

And so—

"Hah, what stupid are you talking about! The Oda family, which is crumbling under the governance of fools, is afraid that as soon as they see the power of our Imagawa army, they will run away in fright! ”

Imagawa Yoshimoto was slightly stunned at first, and then laughed without a ladylike demeanor, "Didn't you see that my march has been like no one in the past few days, and you said that there is someone from the Oda family who dares to launch a surprise attack on Miss Ben, the first bow of Tokaido?" No, let alone the Oda family, there is no military general in this world who dares to do this......"

Saying this, the long black straight girl raised her fan to cover the lower half of her face, and her high white neck was like a proud white swan.

But it's really not for nothing that she says that. In the past few days since he was promoted to Ashigaru General and followed the Honjin to carry out the Shangluo Plan, Mu Xiu also led a hundred people under his command to fight several battles that belonged to the Warring States Period.

The result was that he was speechless, although because he had just done his homework a few days ago, he had already known that in addition to the real large-scale war of two or three hundred thousand people in the Warring States Period of the Eleventh District, it was not an exaggeration to say that the war in the early stage was at the level of "village fighting".

However, this kind of torture and crushing general horizontal push can still allow Mu Xiu to intuitively compare the strength of the Imagawa family and the Oda family-

Even in the past few days, even when they have entered the territory of Owari, many times everywhere they go, the peasants have only raised their hands and cheered, "Her Royal Highness the princess of Imagawa has arrived", and there was no decent resistance at all.

"But, if you're not afraid of 10,000, you're always afraid of what if, right? Your Excellency. "Mu Xiu wanted to say something.

However, his pestering behavior made the girl's brows jump, and she felt that she had reached her limit, did this guy realize that I was the head of his family!

Taking a deep breath, the eldest lady suddenly widened her eyes-

"It's not even up to the mountain, why are you still talking about this topic! And even if the Oda army really carried out a surprise attack, wouldn't our own 5,000 troops be able to resist it? Or do you feel that you are not good enough to do your job and not protect your governor? ”

“……”

"Alright, don't say any more, now go and build me a roof right now!"

……

……

Outside the curtain.

Mu Xiu, whose thoughts were still empty after all, sighed, but there was no disappointment, firstly, because he had already knocked on the side before, and he had worked hard from many other aspects, but in the end he still did not change this development. The second is because he may not have expected such a good thing from the beginning, and he can get a lot of reward points and side plots or something with his mouth-

"Help Imagawa Yoshimoto escape the fate of dying in battle in Barrel Sasama, reward 4,500 reward points, and two C-level side plots."

Glancing at the task requirements of the big ball of light again, the young man had a deep premonition of the difficulty coefficient of the next thing, whether it was high or not, and whether it was low or not. If it was just him, if he wanted to fight an army of 2,000 people alone, even if it was a peasant army in the Cold Weapon Era, it would definitely be impossible.

But if you just break through and fight your way out, there is no difficulty at all.

However, to bring such a dress of twelve orders that are all dressed on the battlefield with limited mobility, in a sense, it is so capricious that it is a delicate girl, and if you want to ensure the safety of the other party, this difficulty is ...... It's maddening. Now the boy can't wait for his storage space to be able to hold a living person, so he kidnapped the lord of the country and ran away at the first time of the plot.

"Then again, why do I feel that the Lord of the Kingdom seems to be a little strange just now?"

At this time, he realized something, Mu Xiu suddenly showed a subtle expression, and turned his head to look at Matsudaira Motoyasu who sighed again and again next to him.

Matsudaira Motoyasu blinked, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and then he walked out with the young man for more than a dozen steps before saying in a helpless tone: "That, Your Excellency Mu Xiu, don't you know what is called slender?" After Lord Yoshimoto accidentally fell off the horse yesterday, he changed to a sedan chair, didn't you just say this specifically to remind Lord Yoshimoto of such a humiliating thing? ”

Mu Xiu's eyes widened, and he shot at the other party with a strange look: "But I saved her when she stumbled and fell off the horse, do you want me to act as if nothing happened?" ”

“……”

“……”

Matsudaira Motoyasu turned his head speechlessly, and only turned back after a second, and replaced it with a hearty, seemingly unscheming smile on his face: "So, slender, slender, Your Excellency Mu Xiu." If it weren't for the fact that you saved Lord Yoshimoto yesterday, how could she rest assured that she would only let you be in the same tent as us today? ”

"This is also true, if I had any bad intentions, I would have been able to kidnap her at that time-huh? No, I just noticed Hattori Hanzo's breath, so it's just me? ”

He nodded subconsciously, but Mu Xiu's attention immediately drifted away again.
