Omi Aichi-gun【Baekjeji】

When Niko Katsuhisa and his entourage arrived at the foot of the Baekjeji Temple, there were curtains and military tents everywhere under the mountain, and various banners were hung on high bamboo poles.

Katsuhisa and the others encamped in a corner under the leadership of the Oda family samurai; Katsuhisa took Kanosuke and Yahachiro to Baekjeji Temple on the mountain.

The road was lined with lush trees, and a small gate with huge straw sandals hanging from the entrance appeared in front of you, and the Oda samurai, led by the samurai of the Oda family, crossed the heavily defended mountain gate, and was in front of a small clearing and a few small wooden halls not far away.

Because the monks of Baekjeji Temple had supported Akeie Castle, the Oda army launched a purge under Nobunaga's strong orders, and Niwa Nagahide and others did not dare to resist Nobunaga's orders, although they could not bear it

Niwa Nagahide and the others were discussing in the side hall, and when they saw their subordinates coming in with people, they took a closer look at it and saw that it was Niko Katsuhisa, and when he was in Kyoto, he saw Katsuhisa who was still a monk, so he stood up and said enthusiastically:

"Katsuhisa, long time no see."

"See His Royal Highness Niwa, Katsuhisa came to join the battle on the orders of His Highness Oda."

Niwa Nagahide patted Katsuhisa on the shoulder affectionately and smiled:

"Well, I already knew, and it just so happened that we were in the middle of the military discussion, so I might as well stay and listen."

"Oh! Under order. ”

Niwa Nagahide's retainers immediately moved a small horse and placed it at the bottom of the long table, Katsuhisa sat down directly without restraint, and Shikanosuke and Yahachiro retreated to the door with interest.

At this time, Akechi Mitsuhide, who was sitting on the left side of Niwa Nagahide, suddenly asked Katsuhisa:

"How many people are coming?"

"Oh! Fifteen rides. ”

Hahaha~

When Katsuhisa answered, everyone was stunned, and then many people laughed, although they didn't say sarcastic words directly, but they all wrote on their faces!

Syllable!

Wise Guangxiu slammed the military pendant on the table, and said sharply:

"Today is a military meeting convened by His Royal Highness Niwa, so please pay attention to your manners."

Everyone reined in a little under the restraint of Akechi Mitsuhide, but there was still a look of disdain on their faces.

Akechi Mitsuhide said to Katsuhisa again:

"The Nizi Army can come to participate in the battle, I am very grateful, I heard that the Shengjiu Hall is familiar with the Ming military strategy in Tofuku Temple, and it doesn't hurt to say it directly."

Because Akechi Mitsuhide also wandered around, and even when he didn't have enough to eat, he didn't despise any samurai because of his hard life.

Katsujiu said without humility or arrogance:

"Shengjiu is young, I don't dare to hold it up, and I hope you will give me more advice."

Then Katsuhisa stopped talking, and it wasn't him who made the decision anyway.

Niwa Nagahide began to appoint commanders to attack everywhere, and Katsuhisa also understood that this Oda army was completely a mixed army, most of them were composed of the Mino clan, the Omi samurai, and the Yamashiro country, speaking of which, there were six or seven thousand people, and probably the most elite was the 1,000 Oda army and the iron artillery team in the hands of Akechi Mitsuhide.

If there is another traitor during the siege of the city, the hexagonal army in the city of Panjiang will rush out again, and it will be strange if the army is not defeated like a mountain under the combination of inside and outside.

Just as Katsuhisa was muttering in his heart, a dusty samurai ran in and hurriedly bowed:

"General Qiyu, the Urasheng army was ambushed by the Hexagonal Army at the Hade Pass, and returned defeated, killing nearly 100 people."

Niwa Nagahide stood up in shock when he heard this, and it has been going well to uproot the strongholds around the enemy's Catie Castle, how could there be a problem here in Haide Mountain, he asked:

"Where's Kamo Hyunhide?"

"Lord Gamo was seriously wounded, and the Gamo army collapsed after nearly 100 people were killed, and the remnants of the army have retreated to their own position."

Niwa Nagahide heard that Gamo Kenhide was seriously injured, and his face softened slightly, after all, people are not without death battles, and the Gamo army, which is only 600 people, can be considered worthy of the Oda family if it collapses after killing nearly 100 people.

"How did the Gamo Army suffer a big defeat, have you figured it out?"

"Oh! The enemy army of Hadeyama feigned defeat and retreated, and the Gamo army pursued and killed the fleeing enemy and strayed into the trap, and the son of Catie Sadakei, Catie Takakei, led the army to rush out of the forest, and the Gamo army could not form effective resistance in the panic. ”

Akechi Mitsuhide originally didn't take the hexagonal army that was already a turtle in the urn in his eyes, but he didn't expect that the Catie father and son still had some ability, and he said to Niwa Nagahide:

"It seems that the enemy is not willing to be passive all the time, and he can't affect his morale because of this battle, so I will take people there immediately."

Niwa Nagahide nodded, although the loss was not large, but it was frustrated before the official siege, which would greatly affect morale:

"Team Goto, Team Mikami, and Team Tsuchida belong to Mitsuhide's command."

"Oh!"

The people who were ordered immediately got up and agreed, and they all excitedly followed Akechi Mitsuhide, going to the battlefield means meritorious service, and all of them wanted to make a hole in the broken ship of the Roxagonal family for His Royal Highness Nobunaga to see, although the enemy was the former lord, but it did not prevent them from taking their heads to receive a military merit.

Like a little transparent, Katsuhisa sat until the end of the military discussion, but he finally knew that he was transferred to Niwa Nagahide's direct team, maybe Niwa felt that it was useless for Katsuhisa and these people to be transferred to the front line!

Niwa Nagahide took out more than a dozen sets of hexagonal furniture that had been seized and handed them to Katsuhisa and others, and Katsuhisa was also grateful for his care.

He had already changed into armor, walked through the camp, and touched the family crest mark in the center of the abdominal scroll, which was the four-eye knot of the hexagonal family; Isn't this a coincidence, the Nizi family is also a four-eyed knot, but one is the difference between the corner four-eye knot and the other is the flat four-eye knot.

Speaking of which, Niko and Rokkaku are both descendants of Sasaki of Omi Province, which is a well-documented and well-documented family of the same family; It's not the kind of Tokugawa who changed his surname and took the lead.

Katsuhisa walked to the camp of the Gamo family, and a strong smell of blood came to his face, and there were many wounded samurai ashigaru and peasant soldiers lying on the ground, as well as many people busy with their work.

They wailed in agony, and some people put simple herbs on their wounds and bandaged them, and some simply tied them with sackcloth, and they didn't know if it worked. After returning to Beijing, you must go to Qu Naase's house to buy more drugs to stop bleeding, and let Sayuri help more.

At this moment, a woman with a cloth belt on her forehead and covered in blood poured a basin of blood on Katsuhisa's straw sandals.

"Very... I'm sorry..."

Katsuhisa looked at her, and the two of them looked at each other, both of them lost their minds for a moment, and this woman was none other than Pu Shengjing, the daughter of Kamo Xianxiu.

Her haggard face was full of exhaustion and anxiety, and she only noticed that someone was passing by after pouring water just now, but she didn't expect this person to be Niko Katsuhisa;

After she and Katsuhisa looked at each other, she pursed her lips and lowered her head in embarrassment, and then asked hurriedly:

"Did Katsuhisa-sama come to visit my father?" "Your Father......"

The two spoke at the same time, but it was obvious that Katsujiu was not as fast as Ah Jing, so he could only smile and nod awkwardly.

"Please come in!"

Katsuhisa walked into the small tent, with strips of rags all over the floor, and Gamo Kenhide was leaning against a piece of wood; His chest was tightly wrapped, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and it obviously hurt a lot.

Kamo Hyunhide didn't expect to meet Katsuhisa again here, and in surprise, he stiffened his body and smiled:

"Shiro...... I'm here to join the battle! ”

Katsuhisa nodded, and hurriedly ran over and squatted down to stop Kamo Kenhide, who wanted to get up.

"Gamo-sama, take care of your cultivation, Shiro also wants to enjoy the sunset over Hino with you again."

"Hino ......"

Kamo Kenhide sighed, it is not good to be a teacher, maybe after this time, he will be held accountable by Oda Nobunaga, and even deprived of the territory; But he didn't show it well in front of Katsuhisa:

"There is also good wine, I still have good wine from Shinmiya in Kyoto at home, and I will definitely not get drunk with Shiro after this battle."

"Be careful."

Katsuhisa stopped Kamyu Kensu from wanting to get up again, and when he heard Gamo Kenshu mention Shiniya, he just smiled and nodded, and didn't tell Kamo Kenhide that the Shingu House was mine.

"Shiro waits, but please be sure to drink Shingu brew after your injuries are completely healed."

Gamo Hyunhide endured the severe pain and said with a grin:

"Then it's decided, let me remind you of one thing, the other side has the Koga ninja army, our army was suddenly disrupted by them, I have worked with the Koga people before, they are insidious and vicious, be careful of their hidden arrows."

"Ninja Army......

Speaking of which, Katsuhisa really hadn't seen those ninjas who were proficient in combat and assassination, and he thought that ninjas were mainly collecting intelligence like the Niko Lushita group.

Kamo Xianxiu looked at Kamyu Jing who was packing up the herbs, looked at Katsuhisa again, sighed faintly, and then pleaded to Katsuhisa:

"I can't continue to fight, whether I can live or not depends on the will of God, our army died in this battle, and those who fled, there are more than 200 people left, I will hand them over to you, hopefully...... You can be ashamed of me. ”

Katsuhisa didn't expect Gamo Hyunsu to hand over the military power to himself, and since others looked up to him, he didn't act like a daughter, and nodded solemnly at Gamo Hyunxiu.
