The night is quiet, and the moonlight is like water. Jing Zhen and Takeda Shingen are making the final mobilization before turning back.

Standing on a half-human-high boulder, Jing Zhen looked at the tired and frustrated faces below, and was silent for a while before saying solemnly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it has been more than half a month since we said goodbye to Kai Fei and came to attack the mouth of the sea."

"For half a month, we fought valiantly, but we paid a terrible sacrifice. During the day, only 3,000 robes waited before me and returned to Kai alive, and there were 5,000 compatriots, 5,000 of our siblings, friends, neighbors, relatives and friends who were buried forever. ”

"Therefore, when we return to Kai, there will inevitably be many people who do not do anything more and will ridicule and say, 'Eight thousand defeated by three thousand, the famous Takeda army is nothing but a paper tiger!' ”

"However, are we really paper tigers? In the past half a month, how did we sacrifice our lives and forget our deaths and fight bloodily?! ”

"It is we who charge forward with crossbow arrows as thick as children's arms, without any cover!"

"It's us who cut the rock crevice with bare hands and grind your fingers to climb the white blade of the city!"

"In the face of the frenzied and terrifying fire ox, it is still us who defeated the enemy's night attack!"

"Now, the three thousand defenders of Sea Mouth Castle have been reduced to less than three hundred, and they are even more exhausted than us, and we should be the first to succumb? On the eve of this victory, do you want to return home with the shame of the defeat of 8,000 to 3,000? ”

"Can't!" More and more men in the silent crowd had red eyes and made low noises.

"How can we comfort our long-awaited relatives and colleagues who died in battle, do we have to tell them that we have become deserters!"

"We are not deserters!" The low sound grew louder and clearer of the night.

Capturing the Mochizuki clan ninjas without any loss has slightly boosted the sluggish morale of the Takeda army's half-month losing streak. Jingzhen's series of interrogations made everyone even more indignant, and their blood surged, and they couldn't bear it anymore.

"Dignified man, the egg pill is useless, you have to go to bed to know!" Jingzhen's vulgar metaphor immediately triggered laughter, but was frozen by the next half sentence: "Whether it is a deserter or not, you will only know when you go to the battlefield!" ”

"Now, Ruoden and I will personally lead the team to fight back against the mouth of the sea and avenge the dead comrades! Who is in favor! Who is against! ”

"We are all willing to follow Your Highness!"

This time, the sound of the tide became more and more agitated, more lofty and heroic, shaking every inch of the mountains and forests near the mountain pass.

Chiyo Mochizuki, who was tied with his hands, and the rest of the Mochizuki ninjas, were watched from afar, and at this time, they also stared intently at Jingzhen, who was scolding Fang Xuan, and their beautiful eyes flowed, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

"Assault of the whole army! The goal is Umi-no-Kuchi Castle! ”

Seeing that the atmosphere was in place, the detective looked at Takeda Shingen, who, as the general general, immediately issued an order cleanly.

……

In the darkness of the night, the troops marched quietly.

Kai is located in the mountains on the back side of Mt. Fuji, so the people of Kai are often nicknamed "Kai's mountain monkeys" by those rich plains. It can be said that there is only the wrong name, not the wrong nickname, and the Takeda army, who has a few rice balls in his belly and a fire of revenge burning in his chest, is like a group of real monkeys, running like the wind in the deep Shinshu Pass.

Two hours later, the Takeda Army had already run for twenty miles, re-crossed the Shinshu Pass, and approached Kainoguchi Castle.

At this moment, the person who ordered the person to bring Mochizuki Chiyo back and asked

"The Mochizuki clan still has a lot of people in the city, maybe they can try to get in touch?"

Now that the thief ship has been boarded, Chiyo Mochizuki has nothing to say, "There are still three ninjas of my family stationed in the mouth of the sea, and they are mainly responsible for cooperating with the defenders to be on guard."

"How are these three people doing, and have they been loyal to you?"

"The ninjas who came with me to help the mouth of the sea this time are all my direct forces, so they are naturally reliable."

"Very well, you assign one of the ninjas captured by your family to report back!"

"The first is to order the ninjas in the city to falsely report to Hiraga Nariyori, saying that our army has passed through the Shinshu Pass and is still retreating overnight. The second is to order the ninjas in the city to closely monitor the movement of the castle tower and the city walls, and transmit information in a timely manner. The third is to be prepared, and after the surprise attack of our army is launched, cooperate with the forces of the assassination organization to resist. ”

Chiyo Mochizuki assigned a confidant according to his words, and explained it properly. Seeing that the latter was about to set off, Jingzhen ignored Chiyo Mochizuki's resentful gaze, and still reminded him kindly.

"The three orders must not be mistaken, if you dare to mess with your mind, take care of your princess's life!"

The ninja froze, bowed again, and disappeared into the night.

……

It's a starry sky. Let's say that Umino Yuitsuna was detained in the room by Hiraga Nariyori, and several hours have passed. Suddenly, I heard a ghost crying wolf howl from the direction of the castle tower, and I couldn't help but hurriedly ask the defenders outside the door to inquire about the reason.

When he learned that the Mochizuki ninja had reported the victory, saying that the Takeda army had crossed the Shinshu Pass, Umino Yuitsuna couldn't help but be shocked and said, "Disaster is coming!" ”。 hurriedly begged the guard to report on his behalf, saying that he had an important military situation and asked to see Pinghe Chenglai.

Although the guard was strictly forbidden to talk to Yukitsuna Umino, who was suspected of collaborating with the enemy, lest he be fooled by his clever words. But it just so happened that the guard had gone through several battles and was deeply convinced by the talent of Umino Yukizuna, so he couldn't bear his repeated pleas, and still agreed to inform him.

"Let's, let that lucky boy come in, come in......"

At this time, Hiraga Nariyori was already drunk and lying on the castle tower, and was suddenly woken up by a strong shake from side to side, saying that the imprisoned Umino Yuitsuna had a secret report, so he reluctantly opened his eyes and slurred his speech to call him in for questioning.

When Umino Yuzuna saw Hiraga Nariyori, he immediately knelt down with a plop, saying that the big thing was not good.

"His Royal Highness Genshin, the big thing is not good, the Mochizuki clan is reversed!"

They claimed that the Takeda Army had crossed the Shinshu Pass. But the Shinshu Pass was forty miles long, and if the Takeda Army had completely crossed it, it would be fifty miles away, so why could the information come so quickly? I'm afraid that the Mochizuki clan has already voted for the Takeda Army and deliberately covered up the itinerary for it. It is advisable to quickly send elite soldiers and fierce generals to patrol the city, so as not to be counted by the enemy. ”

If it was daytime, Hiraga Chengyori could still hear that something was wrong and hurriedly acted. But at this time, the binge drinking has long taken away all its intelligence and reason, and being forcibly shaken awake makes it even more angry. Immediately, he spat on Umino Yuzuna, and said sharply with a strong smell of wine:

"Thou art the one who has offended, and you dare to confuse the crowd with vain words, you really answered the thief's cry to catch the thief!"

Then he shouted at the guard: "I ordered you to detain him, how dare you release it!" ”

He immediately touched the sword on the table, slashed it down, and watched with drunken eyes as the guard gradually stopped struggling in a pool of blood, before he summoned another person to continue to imprison Yukitsuna Umino.

The blood of the guards poured on Yuzuna Umino's face, and he slowly lost his temperature from hot to cold, just like this sea mouth castle, losing all hope.

Like a walking corpse, the mind was still chaotic and Yukitsuna Umino was rudely half-backed and half-pulled out of the castle tower by the guards of the new faction, and was suddenly blown by a gust of cold wind, and suddenly shivered and woke up, only then did he hide his tears and sigh:

"Our army is dying, and my corpse does not know where to go!"
