The distance between the port of and the Daimyo's mansion is not far, only about 50 kilometers, and the most for the ninja's march is about half an hour.

Therefore, when the shogunate ninja army launched an offensive, the nobles of the Daimyo of the Land of Water were the first to learn the relevant information.

At the same time, he also learned from the commander of the Wuyin garrison that the original staff of 2,000 people, and only responsible for garrisoning the Daimyo Mansion, had been secretly transferred south by the Elder Group to support the southern islands, and the port and the Daimyo's Mansion were only stationed with more than 1,500 ninja troops......

Among these 1,500 people, nearly 1,000 ninja troops were deployed in the port and the outer defense line of the Daimyo's Mansion.

"How are the perimeter fortifications deployed?"

The daimyo was already angry, but he still forcibly suppressed the urge to vent his anger and asked coldly.

When the shogunate ninja army launched an offensive in the southern and eastern islands, the daimyo focused on exchanging letters with the other four powers, discussing how to curb the expansion of the ninja power and controlling the erosion of the ninja village power on the world, and did not pay much attention to the ninja army's defense affairs.

Now, the consequences of taking it lightly have come.

“…… Three hundred underwater troops and three hundred coastal defense units were deployed in the port of, and about 400 people were deployed in the positions on both flanks. ”

Commander Wuyin's face turned pale and he replied in a low voice.

"A thousand ninja army...... Hehehe......"

When the daimyo heard this, he was so angry that he let out a gloomy laugh like a night owl.

The samurai in the hall were so frightened that they didn't dare to come out.

"Ten are to surround it, and five to attack it......"

The daimyo finally calmed down and continued to ask in a cold voice, "How many people are from the Uchiha's thief army?" ”

"Probably...... Two or three thousand people......"

Commander Fog Concealment could only respond vaguely.

The outer defense line has been completely routed under the fierce offensive of the shogunate ninja army, and the few defeated ninjas who fled back to the daimyo's mansion can't tell how many people there are on the other side, and the only detail of the battle that the commander of the fog hides knows is that the demigod Sanshoyu Hanzo, who was hired by Uchiha Tokumitsu, easily broke the defense line of the fog with the poison of the shogunate, and then the Wuyin ninja army was quickly routed under the ferocious attack of the shogunate's landing force.

The number of shogunate ninja troops who came to attack was only roughly estimated based on the ships.

The daimyo closed his eyes in exhaustion.

"Your Highness, please go out of the palace and inspect the north!"

Atsushi Konoe pounced and begged on his knees.

The daimyo heard it, but was unmoved.

Several of the ministers of the Interior who had tried to dislodge Atsuji Konoe also kept their mouths shut.

The daimyo did not refuse, that is, it has the meaning of 'out of the palace to inspect'.

It's just that there are still a few reasons to let His Royal Highness the Venerable Daimyo have a step down.

"What happened to the Goji Yakura stationed in the northern county?"

Konoe Atsushi ignored the thoughts of his colleagues, and turned to Commander Kigakure and asked.

"I have sent someone to inform Yakura Kami Shinobu that at this time, the ninja army may have been mobilized to the area north of the Daimyo Mansion to deploy ......"

Commander Kigakure was also intimidated by the momentum of Atsushi Konoe, and couldn't help but reply.

"How many ninja troops are there? How is the combat power? Is it reliable? ”

Atsushi Konoe continued to ask.

Although the tone was aggressive, Commander Fog Hidden didn't care.

"About two thousand ninja troops, all of them are the elite of the fog hide; And Yakura Kami Shinobu is a human pillar force, and he once fought alone against Uchiha Tokumitsu, Hagi Sakumo, and Orochimaru on the battlefield of the Land of Fire without defeat......"

"Your Highness the Daimyo, please go out of the palace and inspect the north! Shinobu Yakura is already waiting for His Highness! ”

Atsushi Konoe no longer hesitated, and turned his head and kowtowed to the daimyo repeatedly.

The daimyo remained silent.

Only the crisp and loud kowtow of Atsushi Konoe echoed in the palace.

"The Daimyo's Mansion is where the Jongmyo Shrine is located, the center of the national decree, where can I go out easily......"

After a while, the daimyo said quietly, "Get up, Du Siqing...... As a Zhongnayan, you should look like a nobleman, and don't humiliate yourself like this......"

Having said that, the hearts of the nobles who were in their throats were also relaxed.

The daimyo is interested in going out on patrol!

"Your Highness! The northern counties are also the territory of the king's rule, and they should be patrolled to pacify the people! Don't be stuck in the Daimyo's Mansion and not know the local truth! ”

The Home Secretary immediately knelt down and said.

"Yes, yes......"

"Please also ask Your Highness to inspect the northern frontier and appease the people!"

Other ministers who were slow to respond spoke one after another.

"Boom, boom, boom!!"

At this time, there was a faint loud sound of detonation of the detonator outside.

A ninja hurriedly jumped and landed outside the palace, hesitating to enter the palace.

Commander Fog Hidden recognized it as his messenger ninja and beckoned him in.

The herald ninja hurried inside and whispered a report beside Commander Mist.

"Hoo ......"

After listening to the report of his subordinates, Commander Kigakure waved his hand to retreat, and said to the nobles in the hall who were sitting with dry eyes waiting for news: "The advance of the Uchiha's ninja army has arrived on the outskirts of the Daimyo's Mansion, and about 300 people are launching a tentative attack......"

"According to the report of the reconnaissance ninja, there are still more than 2,000 enemy troops in the rear who are landing and assembling for training......"

And the Daimyo Mansion was only garrisoned by five hundred ninja troops......

Even the port and outer defense line defended by thousands of ninja troops could not be supported for long under the offensive of the shogunate ninja army, and the ninja strength of the daimyo's mansion is estimated to be not enough for the shogunate ninja army......

Although Commander Kigain didn't say it explicitly, the daimyo and the nobles knew the meaning behind his words.

"Even if you patrol the counties, you still need to be stationed at the temple shrine and the government ordinance to protect ......"

The daimyo said quietly: "Du Siqing, are you willing to take on this heavy responsibility?" ”

"Thanks to His Highness's appreciation, the ministers will definitely go all out!"

Although it might be dangerous to be left in the Daimyo's Mansion, Atsushi Konoe did not hesitate to take the job, and then knocked his head on the head of the grateful.

"Inner officer, get ready to drive!"

The daimyo no longer hesitated, stood up, and the eunuch hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

At this time, the sound of the detonator exploding became louder and louder.

……

"Your Excellency, please attack!"

Standing on a hill in the southern part of the Daimyo Mansion, Uchiha Tokumitsu led two expeditionary columns to observe the situation in the Daimyo Mansion of the Land of Water.

The accompanying ghost lamp Masahiko and Shui Wuyue Qiannuo couldn't wait, intending to bloody the Daimyo's Mansion to avenge the extermination of the clan.

After destroying the port defenders, Uchiha Tokumitsu was not in a hurry to attack the Daimyo's Mansion, but sent the first team of the Tokumitsu Red Reserve as the vanguard, and took the grass ninja to recruit ninjas as the vanguard to launch a tentative attack on the Daimyo's Mansion.

He didn't want to capture the Daimyo of the Land of Water alive, nor did he want to wash the Daimyo's Mansion in blood like the ninjas of the Ghost Lantern and Mizuki clans.

While not averse to killing, Uchiha Tokumitsu doesn't like senseless indiscriminate killing.

What's more, if the city is really slaughtered, I am afraid that the Uchiha clan will also become the target of the ninja world, and even the nobles who are cooperating with the Uchiha clan in the eight eastern counties of the Fire Country will be alienated due to fear.

What he wanted was actually what he had said when Konoe Atsushi came to envoy, that the land of the water country could be ceded and reparated, and the port could be opened to trade.

As for demands such as the abdication of the daimyo and the resignation of Mizukage, they were purely for bargaining.

Besides, as long as the strength of the ninja army allows, after defeating the fog hidden, everything in the country of water is not at its disposal.

"Don't be impatient......"

Uchiha Tokumitsu said to Ghost Lantern Masahiko and Mizuki Chino, "Ninjas, stay calm and don't let hatred blind you!" ”

At this time, Hinata Shuhiro, who went to the outskirts of the Daimyo Mansion to reconnoitre, rushed back in an instant.

"Tokumitsu-sama......"

Hinata Shuhiro knelt on one knee in front of Uchiha Tokumitsu and reported: "The north gate of the Daimyo's Mansion is open, and a team of cars is fleeing north!" ”

"Is it the Daimyo of the Land of Water?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu nodded slightly and continued to ask.

The Daimyo's escape will definitely take with him the Mist Ninja stationed there, so the Daimyo's Mansion is like a ripe peach, waiting for his troops to enter and pick it.

"Judging by the chauffeur's guard of honor, it is indeed a daimyo deity."

Hinata Shuhiro was also a little excited: "There are more than 300 ninja troops and 2,000 samurai army with him!" ”

Invade the Daimyo's Mansion and force the Daimyo to flee.

Such a ferocious act has not been done since the establishment of the one-village-one-country system.

Uchiha Tokumitsu can be said to have set a precedent!

"Signal......"

Uchiha Tokumitsu turned his head to Ghost Lantern Masahiko and said, "Notify the ninja coalition to attack!" ”

"Obey ......"

Although Ghost Lantern Masahiko was unwilling, he still obediently took out a signal and shot it into the air.

In order to prevent the Ghost Lantern and Mizuki clans' expeditionary columns from going alone, Uchiha Tokumitsu deliberately took them all with him.

As the flare rose into the air, a noisy riot erupted in the Daimyo's Mansion.

The daimyo and nobles fled, the ninja army army withdrew, and the daimyo's mansion of the land of water, which was almost undefended, suddenly fell into civil strife.

Uchiha Tokumitsu ignored the riots in the city, and did not intend to send vanguard troops into the city first, but quietly observed the rather magnificent capital in front of him.

"Do you know why you can't slaughter the capital and capture the daimyo?"

Cold, Uchiha Tokumitsu asked.

“…… If the city is slaughtered and the daimyo is captured alive, there will be no room for maneuver, and it will definitely be a situation of endless death. ”

Ghost Lantern Masahiko and Mizuki Chino glanced at each other, and Mizuki Chino came forward to answer.

"It's good to understand."

The Uchiha didn't look back bald, and continued to observe the Daimyo's mansion.

"Why did the fog hide fail, have you figured it out?"

"Centrifugation up and down, internal disharmony ......"

Mizuki Qiannuo continued to reply.

"It's good to know."

Uchiha Tokumitsu turned around and sighed: "Our victory is actually a bit of a fluke, although the fog is weak, but after all, it is one of the five great ninja villages, if it is a full-scale battle, the shogunate may not be its opponent......"

If nothing else, the Uchiha Madara who controls three generations of Mizukage behind his back is tricky enough.

And the reason why Uchiha Tokumitsu conquered Kigakuin and attacked the land of water was to explode the old guy's gold coins, and naturally he was unwilling to capture or kill the daimyo, causing the country of water to have the same hatred and attack the shogunate.

The capture of the Daimyo Mansion was enough to deal a blow to the power of the Daimyo and Mizukage, and proper control of the beating force would make the interior of the Kirito even more divided.

"I understand it below!"

Ghost Lantern Masahiko and Shui Wuyue Qiannuo knelt down on one knee and answered.

Uchiha Tokumitsu nodded, turned around and continued to observe the movements of the Daimyo's Mansion.

The fragmented Kigakuin is a good ninja village, and the completely dead Madara Uchiha is the good ancestor of the Uchiha family!
