The scene surrounding Kotani Castle has been going on for several days.

In the past few days, Nobunaga's generals have mysteriously disappeared one after another, and Iyun discovers that the total number of Nobunaga's army is also decreasing, and it is obvious that they have another task to do. But Nobunaga didn't tell Iyun where she had sent them, and it seemed that she still didn't trust him enough.

With Iyun's intelligence, it quickly occurred to him that Nobunaga was using one part of his forces to surround Kotani and use another part of his forces to directly capture Asakura. It's a very simple tactic, and I don't know what she's keeping secrets.

In fact, this is Yi Yun underestimated this tactic, this tactic in the art of war of the Great Meng Kingdom, called "Ming Xiu Plank Road, Secretly Crossing Chen Cang", for the primitive people of Fusang, it is a very, very, very advanced tactic, and it is generally used by people with titles such as "Famous Warring States War Artist".

Think about it, Takeda Shingen read the "Art of War" that was circulated to Fuso in the Great Meng Kingdom, and was known as the first military artist of the Warring States, and Mao Liyuan played a little resourcefulness, and was called the first wise general of the Warring States, tsk, if they saw the roadside bookstore in the Great Meng Kingdom for ten cents a piece, the beautifully printed "Thirty-six Strategies" and "Sun Tzu's Art of War" are piled up like a mountain, and any poor scholar can buy a few copies and go back to study, but they are afraid that they will be frightened and frightened.

After Nobunaga used this tactic of secretly crossing Chenkura, he was not in a hurry, anyway, he surrounded Kotani, and it was not too late to clean up the shallow well after defeating Asakura.

After several days of siege, the samurai of the Asai clan on the top of the mountain finally realized that Nobunaga was planning to cut off the water supply of Kotani Castle and kill them to death of thirst on the top of the mountain. Because they exist on top of the mountain, it is not enough at first.

Otani Castle was too high and on top of a cliff, so it was always difficult to get water, and it was either necessary to wait for it to rain or have to use the servants to carry water up from the sister river at the bottom of the mountain, and now Nobunaga is surrounded by the mountain. The sister river can't go, and the sky is not beautiful, and if it doesn't rain, the people of the Asai family can't get precious water resources.

On this day, Iyun was walking with Nobunaga, and when he looked at the fortified castle in mid-air, there was a sudden commotion in the castle, a samurai of the Asai family. He walked to the edge of the cliff and shouted loudly below: "I'm the first fierce general of the Asai family, Naokei Endo, tell Nobunaga to come out and listen to me!"

Nobunaga walked out. He raised his head and shouted to the top of the mountain, "What do you have to say?" ”

"Immediately remove the encirclement and withdraw from the territory of our Asai family, otherwise, we will kill your sister Oda Ichihime!" shouted Naokei Endo in the city.

Hmm? Yi Yun's heart froze, has the issue of hostages finally begun to intensify? He is still wondering these days, the Asai family has Oda Nobunaga's sister as a hostage, why not use hostages? As a result, now Asai has really started to use hostages.

Nobunaga's face sank, she had a rather bewitching temperament. This heavy face looks a little cold beauty: "I will not withdraw the army, if I withdraw the army, you still have to kill my sister, I don't even have a chance to save him, you have the courage to kill her, and then I will slaughter all the men, women and children in your small valley to avenge her." ”

Hm. Since ancient times, there has never been an example of using hostages to persecute the hero, and the Asai family obviously underestimated Nobunaga too much.

Endo on the top of the mountain was straightened, and then he said, "Okay, you are so powerful, you don't even want my sister's life...... So be it. If you don't agree to this request, I will send soldiers on the top of the mountain in front of all of you, and it will take the turn of Oda City on the top of the mountain in front of all of you. Let all the soldiers under the mountain watch a live performance. ”...,

Wow, so vicious? Iyun Khan, don't you, isn't it too much to turn on a beautiful woman in front of tens of thousands of soldiers and five thousand tortoises? I was filled with righteous indignation when I heard this, what an evil family Asai must have done such a beastly thing! Nobunaga still won't agree?

As a result, Iyun guessed wrong this time, and Nobunaga actually nodded his head and said, "Okay, I promise to let you go down the mountain to get water...... But you must make sure that my sister is not harmed in any way, and that she will be kept in prison until I break through the city. ”

"Huh, you compromised this time?" asked Eyun curiously.

"Nonsense, can you not compromise, what if he really sends soldiers to turn my sister?" Nobunaga's face was ugly.

"Such a beastly thing...... He's just talking. Yi Yun couldn't help but think about human nature a little better.

"Hmph, it's not about talking. Nobunaga shook his head and said, "In our place of Fuso, there are often people who do more animal things. Since I am not asked to withdraw my troops, but just let them take water, then let them take it, anyway, it will not prevent me from breaking through his rotten city. ”

Okay, a few days ago, you said that it was okay for Aunt Fusang to marry her niece and son-in-law, but now you say that someone else has done it in public, how much do you hate your own country to be able to say such a thing?

He couldn't help but complain: "I said, Mr. Shang, is it really okay for you to complain about your country like this every day?

"Hmph, I'm angry, what?" Nobunaga said unhappily: "This broken country, despise women, bully women, sparse population, not abundant materials, and frequent earthquakes, the old lady is really bored, and when I break Nobunaga's encirclement network, I want to kill this broken island and kill it to the mainland." ”

The country girl Yushiba Hideyoshi, who was standing behind Nobunaga, actually came up and agreed: "Yes, I have the same opinion as Nobunaga, after our Oda family unifies Fuso, we will send troops to Goryeo, kill all the Goryeo sticks, and then capture the Great Meng Kingdom, and set the capital in the prosperous and wealthy Ningbo! ”

As soon as Yi Yun heard this, he was immediately furious, I wipe, you country girl actually said wildly, you want to occupy my Dameng country?

He thought about it for a while, huh? This guy may not be talking casually, because Hideyoshi in real history launched an invasion war against the mainland, and released wild words that he would destroy the Ming Dynasty and set the capital of Ningbo, which was not just talking, and then he really did it, but failed.

Yi Yun originally had a good impression of the country girl, but now when he heard this, his stomach suddenly exploded, grandma, I see that you are a girl, and I forgot that you are a wolf, okay, since you have said all this kind of thing, if my brother doesn't clean you up, I dare not say that I am a child of China.

What's funny is that the country girl doesn't know that she has offended Yi Yun, and she thinks that Yi Yun won't be angry if she says this, because in the shabby place of Fusang, if you joke with other daimyo that you want to conquer the world and dominate Fusang, other daimyo will not only not be angry, but will think that you are ambitious. I don't know what the custom is, anyway, the Fuso people don't get angry when they hear that others are going to invade them. She didn't know that Yi Yun couldn't hear what others said about his motherland, and when these words fell on his ears, he was really angry.

However, Yi Yun didn't show anger on his face, but secretly wrote down the incident and went back to settle the account with the country girl.

Next, at Nobunaga's behest, the soldiers besieging Kotani Castle made a gap, and the Asai family on the mountain really sent a team of soldiers down to the Ogawa River to cancel, they carried many wooden barrels and beat hundreds of barrels up the mountain, Oda Nobunaga was calm and suppressed his anger to watch these guys get water. After reading it, she frowned and said, "Come on, go and ask Ieyasu to come over, I have something to look for it." ”...,

After a short while, Ieyasu was invited to Nobunaga's army.

"Ieyasu, did you see it? The Asai family took my sister hostage and threatened me to get water...... In this way, this small valley city will not be easy to attack. Nobunaga said earnestly to the old turtle.

Tokugawa Ieyasu nodded, and the turtle's little head shook and shook: "Nobunaga, if you have any requirements, just say, I can do it, and I will help you." ”

"I thought about it, the best way now is to send a team of ninjas up the mountain and rescue my sister!" Nobunaga said seriously, "You have a powerful ninja turtle Hattori Hanzo under your command, and I would like to ask you to send it around." ”

"So that's the case, no problem, I'll call Hattori Hanzo immediately!" Ieyasu sent someone to pass the order, and after a while, the ninja turtle Hattori Hanzo came to the tent, this big turtle was wearing a dark blue ninja suit, and the other ninjas were all slender, but Hattori Hanzo was a bloated ninja, because the turtle shell was too big!

Iyun Khan: "This ...... Is such a ninja really useful?"

"What? Do you look down on the turtle?" Hanzo was furious: "Look at my ninja method: the art of water escape!"

After Hanzo said this, his body flashed, as if he wanted to use some escape technique, but after half a sound, nothing happened, it still stood there, and there was no change at all.

"Huh, what about your water escape technique?"

"Ahem...... When this turtle wants to use the water escape technique, it needs to have water next to it, but we are now in the middle of the main camp of the main camp, and it is too far away from the sister river, so the water escape technique of this turtle cannot be performed for the time being!" Hattori Hanzo snorted.

"Flutter!" Iyun vomited blood and said, "The place where Nobunaga is going to send you is Kotani Castle, which is hanging high in the air and lacks water sources, how do you use ninjutsu when you get to that place where there is a shortage of water?"

"This ...... Hmm? Ben Turtle didn't think about it!" Hattori Hanzo was stunned, and then he exclaimed, "Oh, do you want me to go to the top of the mountain? No, if the turtle climbs the mountain, is it still called a turtle?"

Evan: "......"

Nobunaga: "......"

It seemed that Ieyasu couldn't count on it, and Nobunaga gave up the idea of sending Hattori Hanzo up the mountain, and she sighed and said, "Forget it, I'll send my ninja...... Someone, call Takigawa Kazuyi and Bee Suga Koroku!"...... ，
