An hour later, the information about the change in the mouth of the sea and the imprisonment of Yukitsuna Umino was handed to Jingzhen and Takeda Shingen.

"Well, Tono Baiyunzhai is doing well, so after Yukitsuna Umino was placed under house arrest by Hiraga Nariyori, was there any commotion or other abnormalities in the city?"

"Back to His Royal Highness, the leader (Toze Baiyunzhai) personally surrendered the book, but it still took a lot of twists and turns to get rid of the pursuit of the Mochizuki ninjas, it seems that the Mochizuki clan's family of Jiayangliu ninjutsu (Note 1) really lives up to its reputation."

After lurking for a long time, the leader turned around to reconnoiter the state of the city defense, only to see that all the generals gathered in the castle tower to feast and drink, and most of the defenders were also resting in turn. The only few reserve troops were nowhere to be seen, so they were all lazy and relaxed, which can be described as extremely relaxed. ”

"It's a big deal!"

After listening to the ninja's report, Takeda Shingen was very happy, and immediately ordered the whole army to turn around, but was persuaded by Jingzhen.

"And don't worry, those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety, and the closer you get to success, the more cautious you need to be. The whole army should continue to advance towards the Shinshu Pass, but it can be slowed down appropriately and some physical strength can be saved. ”

"What you said is true, but this place is still thirty miles away from the Shinshu Pass, even if it is doubtful, is it necessary to turn back so far?" After listening to what Jingzhen said, Takeda Shingen was puzzled.

Seeing the urgency in Takeda Shingen's heart, Jingzhen still patiently explained: "No matter how mediocre Heiga Chenglai is, after all, he is also a veteran who has been fighting for decades. Although he broke with Umino Yukitsuna under our scheme, he must still be wary of Toze Baiyunzhai's move to submit a letter. ”

"As I expected, the ninjas of the Mochizuki clan are just afraid that they are behind us at this time, escorting us from afar. At this time, there is a slight disturbance, and they will inevitably go back to report the news first. ”

"Only by entering Shinshu Pass, with the advantage of the terrain that is not covered by the line of heaven and earth, will the enemy ninja be in a dilemma."

"If we retreat, we will lose our traces, and we will naturally calmly arrange a surprise attack."

"If you enter, you will fall into the front and rear encirclement of our army and the ninjas of our family, and it will be difficult to fly with wings, and we will be able to take advantage of the coming night to kick out of the door unconsciously and take the mouth of the sea city!"

"In addition, the defenders in the city have just experienced more than ten days of hard fighting, and their tense nerves have not been completely relaxed.

"Only by lengthening the time and widening the distance, gradually reducing the vigilance of the enemy, and gradually making the soldiers completely paralyzed and slack in rest. The fatigue accumulated for a long time has long been deep in the bone marrow, and it was good to hold on hard with one breath before, but once it relaxes, it is difficult to get up again. ”

Hearing this, Takeda Shingen couldn't help but nod his head again and again, his blood boiled, thinking about the scene of the broken city, reined in the horse's head, and yelled:

"Everyone, work hard, rush to the Shinshu Pass before dark and bury the pot to cook rice, and each person will be rewarded with 100 Wen at that time!"

Driven by the feeling of returning home after a long absence, there was the temptation of dinner and bounty, and everyone's steps really became stronger, and finally entered the Shinshu Pass before dusk.

When the figure of the last soldier disappeared at the entrance to the narrow rock passage of Shinshu Pass, Chiyo Mochizuki, who secretly followed him, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Fate, Youzu Nobumasa attacked Umino Yukitsuna because of jealousy, and lost face of the three clans in front of outsiders, and now he was sent to defend the city and was even more drunk and dreamed of death, which made Mochizuki Chiyo deeply despised. Umino Yuitsuna is also in prison because of the mystery of wiping books, and even the three clans of Shino can't escape the suspicion of collaborating with the enemy. As the only one left of the three heroes of Shino, Chiyo Mochizuki is now also under a lot of pressure and tired.

In order to restore the glory of the Shino Sanjia, it is incumbent upon Chiyo-sama, who has both wisdom and beauty (certified by Tengu Yuzu Nobumasa), to take the initiative to lead a team to follow the Takeda Fangden army, while monitoring its movements, while waiting for an opportunity to repeat the assassination that failed to make a contribution last time, and take down one or two enemy generals.

Seeing that the Takeda army had all entered the Shinshu Pass, Chiyo Mochizuki ordered his ninjas to report in the direction of the mouth of the sea, gritted his teeth and struggled inwardly for a moment, but chose to continue to follow.

The mountain walls on both sides of the Shinshu Pass were nearly vertical and unsheltered by vegetation, so Chiyo Mochizuki could only take seven or eight people from his family to walk cautiously a hundred steps away from Keisada and his line, using the rocks and shrubs in the road to cover his body.

Although Chiyo Mochizuki is the leader of the new generation in the family, the so-called excellence is only reflected in the weekday training, and there is not much actual combat experience, so this time being sent by the family also has the meaning of the first battle.

At the beginning of the tail line, Chiyo Mochizuki was still quite frightened, for fear that he would be found if he breathed heavily. But as they walked farther and farther, seeing that the two young samurai led by him were talking and laughing wantonly all the way, they didn't notice it, not only did they gradually grow bolder, but they began to compare what kind of weapon was more appropriate to use.

However, the battlefield is not a training ground after all, and the prey and the hunter often switch in an instant. Just as Chiyo Mochizuki gradually narrowed the distance, ready to find the right angle to deliver the fatal blow, a sudden softness under his feet, a large net suddenly popped out, covering it tightly.

Chiyo Mochizuki's ambush was like a signal, and the Takeda army, which was originally marching, suddenly turned around and lined up in an array, blocking one side of the passage. On the other side, the Koga ninja under the command of Jing Zhen also emerged from behind the Mochizuki Shinobi under the leadership of Tono Baiyunsai, cutting off the way!

Chiyo Mochizuki was ashamed and annoyed, she had always thought highly of herself, but she didn't expect to pull her crotch repeatedly for the first time when she officially went to the battlefield. First of all, he was overturned by an arrow on the night of the fire bull, sniped the opponent's general and missed, and broke his beloved rouge horse. This time, he was tied to the fishing net like a mermaid out of the water, and the abundance of the front and back, which he was proud of, was also squeezed into a shameful appearance.

Seeing Chiyo Mochizuki struggling in the secret fishing net mixed with copper wire, a group of Mochizuki ninjas dozens of steps away couldn't help but show despair, and they formed a circle back to back, ready to fight to the death. Jingzhen walked up to the Mochizuki Chiyo net and put a sharp dagger in front of his long neck.

"Kill me, thief! The Mochizuki clan is not afraid of death! ”

Listening to Chiyo Mochizuki's bold words with a trill, Jingzhen couldn't help but smile.

"Miss Chiyo doesn't think that death is the most terrible thing in the world? But I thought that losing hope and seeing everything I loved destroyed in front of me was a more painful feeling than death! ”
