Chapter 60: Sumamata! One Night City
"You...... Let's go? ”
Shibata Katsuie, who subconsciously took over Oda Nobusumi, couldn't believe what she heard, and she was even more convinced that it might be that she had heard it wrong. Does this guy really know what he's talking about?
"Why?" Oda Shinna frowned and asked puzzled.
"Because if I insist on keeping you, I really can't do it!" Pei Chen looked around at the remnants of the soldiers a little absentmindedly, just more than 3,000 infantry, or the kind where everyone was injured, if the other party just wanted to run, there was really nothing he could do.
"Actually, I'd rather do more than conquer Owari than destroy Owari - but it seems that there is little hope of your surrendering right now. So I decided to give you two more days, well, three days, and if you are really cornered at that time, you should think more clearly! ”
"Arrogance!" At this moment, even the little Lori Maeda Inu Chiyo couldn't help but accuse.
Oda Nobuna raised an eyebrow.
"Imagawa Yoshimoto will agree?!" She looked at the soldiers who were gradually surrounding her with long weapons around her, and the generals behind Pei Chen who were full of anger and seemed to have made up their minds not to let go of her and the others.
Thinking about it, he was killed by more than 200 cavalry in his own formation, suffered heavy casualties, and even forced his own lord to flee, and Shangluo's plan was disrupted...... This is no longer a slap in the face, it is simply a set of combination punches in the faces of these generals who think they have a good way of leading the troops on weekdays!
Thinking about it, their plan was already obvious, and the fierce expression was clearly that they would not give up until they were shredded, chopped and ground to feed the turtle.
"Don't worry." Before those generals could open their mouths to object, Pei Chen leisurely took out a wooden token engraved with the Imagawa family crest, "I have obtained permission from the Imagawa lord to deal with what is happening here!" ”
“……”
……
……
Recalling the strange and unspeakable gaze of Oda Shinna before leaving, and looking at several senior generals around him, Pei Chen let out a rare long sigh, feeling a headache.
If he could, he would definitely not mind capturing those girls on the spot and letting them understand what the sinister world was, but he couldn't do it with a fierce general like Shibata Katsuya - at most, he would just leave all the cavalry they brought and hang them with a wound, and a successful breakthrough was inevitable.
Damn, not many of them have physical strength three-dimensional (referring to strength, agility, and physique) that is below the one-star standard, and the murderous ones directly catch up with the extreme value of the two-star level.
However, they still have a little muscle line, and they are still in beautiful shape, which indicates that their agility is definitely not bad, at least it can offset the impact of too high strength attribute on their body shape. In the end, it's still my own fault, if there is Wang Ba's anger......
"How? Those people didn't stop? ”
Suddenly, he said such a sentence without a head, and the generals around him looked at each other, what should this be...... Reply?
The black whirlwind suddenly appeared, violating the laws of physics, and came to Pei Chen's front, and the first thing that appeared was Hattori Hanzo Nara's scarf. He was very surprised to glance at the person in the seat, the other party was able to easily see through his own escape ninjutsu?
"Killed one, caught one, and two ran away." Hattori Hanzo couldn't help frowning, he was very dissatisfied with such a record, after all, he brought all the elite ninjas under his command nearby and swarmed him, and he didn't talk about any morality. But even so, two of them ran away.
Pei Chen, who understood that two-star apostles would have some hole cards more or less, didn't care much, but he just regretted that he didn't destroy them all - he was ruthless to this kind of guy who wanted to make a profit.
"Then there's one more thing, after that, we'll go back to Sunpu Castle, and then I promise to get Matsudaira Motoyasu-sama to go out and become the daimyo of Mikawa on his own, but ...... As for whether the lord of the country is interested in forming an alliance, it is uncertain. ”
"Even so, I'm grateful......" Hattori Hanzo's eyes flashed with excitement, but it seemed that he had never done anything to thank others, he just stood there stiffly, and after saying this, he didn't know what to say anymore.
"The next thing is the most important thing-" Pei Chen stood up and began to order the soldiers to be put in order, "We'll leave for ...... tomorrow Uh, what do you mean by that place name? Ink...... Sumamata! That's right! It's Sumamata! ”
"Sumamata?!" Isn't that the territory of Minokoku? Hattori Hanzo really couldn't think of any necessary connection between that place and the independence of his own head of the family and leaving the Imagawa family.
Pei Chen saw the puzzled looks in the eyes of the others, but he didn't explain, anyway, now that he has military power, what he says is what he says. Others only listened and did not dare to question it.
Hawkers, anyway, let's take down the Sumamata first, and occupy Mino from the roots! He really needs some real merit that can suppress the "damn bad old man" in Yoshimoto's mouth, after all, all his power is now based on Imagawa Yoshimoto's trust, and it is difficult to convince the public.
The Sumamata River is a strategic point where the Nagara River meets other rivers, and if you can build a castle there, it will be equivalent to capturing Mino.
But, in reality, it's completely useless - because it's so close to Inabayama Castle that if you get close, you will be attacked, and building a castle is a delusion, so you can't ask your soldiers to build a castle while fighting, right?
If you can do this, then your forces are estimated to be able to defeat Inabayama Castle head-on, so why do you need to do so much?!
Therefore, Sumamata has such a saying: Sumamata, the place of death, and then the place of death and the afterlife!
The above is naturally not how good Pei Chen's military literacy is, and he can easily see the value of Momata. That's just that his intelligence attributes are relatively good, and he can recall the detailed aspects of some anime he has watched before.
He doesn't have to think about whether Sumamata is really that valuable, and keeping this place is equivalent to getting Mino, he just needs to know that now Saito Yoshiryu is sending troops to kill his father and succeed in taking the throne, and Saito Michizo and Akechi Mitsuhide are not willing to die so inexplicably, and are bravely resisting.
The two sides are fighting now, and even if Saito Yoshiryu has the advantage of strength, it is impossible to press Saito Michisan, known as [Mino's Pit Viper], to the ground in a short period of time, so he can't take out his hand to deal with himself and others now.
As long as he took these more than 3,400 soldiers to defeat the castle of Sumamata and Inabayama, the Mino country at that time was equivalent to starting, whether it was Saito Yoshiryu or Saito Michizo, there was no choice.
When the time comes, under the chain reaction, even the Oda family has no other choice.
"Well, I know that even if you say that, you won't understand how the capture of Minamata or even Mino Province will help your head of the family to separate from the Imagawa family and become a real daimyo, right?"
Pei Chen seemed to be a little helpless to explain to Hattori Hanzou in front of him - in fact, it was a serious mouth: "Yoshimoto should have said a long time ago, to let Matsudaira Motoyasu become independent, right?" But this sentence has not been fulfilled until now, has it? ”
The corners of Hattori's eyes twitched, but he nodded reluctantly as if he hadn't heard the adult's affectionate address to the lord of the country. In fact, it is precisely because Imagawa Yoshimoto has not fulfilled his promise and has not fulfilled it, and even used Matsudaira Motoyasu's soldiers as expendables to attack the castle, wanting to greatly consume Matsudaira Motoyasu's strength, which caused Hattori Hanzo to be resentful, and deliberately let Sagara Yoshiharu go in the original plot, which led to the success of the battle of Barrel Sasa......
"In the final analysis, it is a matter of the comparison of strength between the two sides!" Pei Chen fooled the ninja in front of him without any guilt, "You should know how long that guy has only been in power, right?" What she needs most at present is to consolidate her right to speak and absolute strength. Under such a premise, even if she wants to have the heart to let Matsudaira Motoyasu go out independently, she can't do it! ”
"......" is such a vague and even completely unreasonable statement, and the eyes of Hattori Hanzo, the leader of the ninja army, can't help but appear mosquito coils, after all, he is just a ninja, a body eater, not a scholar - in other words, if he was really a scholar, he would not have chosen to be a ninja.
"When attacking Marone and Washizu, Matsudaira Motoyasu didn't lose many troops, right?" Pei Chen didn't give Hattori Hanzo time to think seriously, and asked.
The black-clothed ninja hesitated for a moment and said, "No." He knew that it was impossible to hide such information from the guy in front of him and the lord of Imagawa Yoshimoto.
"That's it, you almost didn't suffer too many casualties when you attacked the city, and Yoshimoto will definitely not agree to let you go out independently, because she is worried that she will not be able to contain it." Pei Chen's brain was spinning rapidly, and he found one reason and excuse after another for himself, very good and powerful.
There is no comparison in the value of force, but if it is a thing that is more than the concentration of brain plasma, he is not afraid of Hattori Hanzo, a ninja who doesn't even know many words.
"Since you don't want to be weakened, then you have to start strengthening the power of the Imagawa family, so as long as you swallow Mino Province and Owari Province, the Imagawa family, which has greatly increased in strength, will naturally not care about an independent Mikawa Daimyo. And Yoshimoto's voice will also increase, at least in the matter of making Matsudaira Motoyasu independent, he doesn't have to worry about the faces of those old guys. Pei Chen's series of combination punches made Hattori Hanzo dizzy, eh? Is that the case?
"Well, if you figure it out, then get ready! We need to occupy Sumamata before the day after tomorrow, and then attack Inabayama Castle and choke Mino Province...... Why do you look at me like that? ”
Hattori Hanzo considered whether he wanted to say anything against it, even if he hadn't read the art of war, he knew that the Ink Mata was definitely not so easy to occupy, and it was really so easy to be taken up a long time ago, and he would wait until his own group?
And it seems that it will take no more than two days at most to occupy the Sumamata and gain a foothold there? This is...... How arrogant?!
And Pei Chen didn't think about such a problem at all, he just felt that now was a good time, and only by capturing Mino could he really overwhelm people and force the Owari Oda family to surrender.
"You go and find out the location and situation of Michizo Saito, and by the way, help me bring that wise Mitsuhide, remember, don't be rude! Just tell her I have a way to save Michizo Saito! ”
Pei Chen waved his hand, and after letting Hattori Hanzo leave in a daze, he began to command the generals under his command again.
"Go and straighten out the soldiers so that they can rest, and besides, take some craftsmen nearby, well, don't blacksmiths...... We'll have to prepare the materials for building the castle tonight, and we'll cross the river tomorrow and head straight to Sumamata! ”
Several generals stared wide-eyed, completely unable to understand the inevitable connection between the orders issued by this lord and the capture of Sumamata.
However, if there is an apostle or the monkey of Sagara Yoshiharu here, it will be understood, this guy intends to follow the method in the original plot and build a night castle directly in Sumamata while Saito Yoshiryu is now fighting with his father......
