In the assessment room of Ogaki Castle, the retainers who were some older had already grown old, and although the lord was furious, they were still indifferent, but there were still two or three young retainers in their teens, and they couldn't withstand such pressure.

I saw one of the young retainers step forward and said, "Lord, my subordinates are not talented, and I hope that the lord will share his worries." ”

Seeing that this childish retainer had fulfilled the task, the family Bu Quan couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, and said in his heart, if he can come back alive, he will definitely be vigorously promoted in the future, even if he dies in battle, then he must treat his family well, so as not to chill the retainers.

Thinking of this, I only heard the family Bu Quan speak: "Okay, this time you will go to Inaba Mountain City, no matter what, you have to come back alive." ”

"It is the lord, and the subordinates will live up to the trust of the lord." I saw that after he finished answering with a bitter face, he got up and walked towards the door.

The other retainers present couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief with the approval of the lord, but before the young samurai could leave, they saw a junior samurai running in in a panic, regardless of the rudeness, and said loudly: "Report to the lord, the big thing is not good, Lord Hino Nehiro led 1,500 troops, and the momentum is coming towards Ogaki Castle, at this time it is less than a mile away from the city, and I ask the lord to decide." ”

After hearing this, the samurai present were shocked, it seems that the main hall is really angry this time, otherwise he would not have sent out an army to attack when the situation is unknown, and the samurai who applied for the task just now hurriedly stopped, at this moment he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he has not set off yet, otherwise, his life must not be guaranteed, the clan Bu Quan who is sitting on the main seat does not have too much panic now, and he still knows how much ability Hino Nehiro has.

Now there are 700 troops in the city, although it is less than half of the army outside the city, but with the strength of Ogaki Castle and the fact that all the elites under his command are in a hundred battles, it is not difficult to repel the army outside the city.

However, in this way, he really broke with the Saito family, and the family Bu Quan was inevitably a little disappointed in his heart.

Thinking of this, I only heard the family Bu Quan speak: "Everyone, go down immediately to prepare, and after a stick of incense, follow me to the city wall to have a look." With that, the clan got up and went into the inner room to put on his armor.

He is also making preparations with both hands, and when Hinogen Hiroshi leads his army to the castle in a while, he will explain first, and if the explanation does not make sense, then he will not let the other party spread wild in his territory.

The time of a stick of incense passed quickly, and I saw that the clan Bu Quan and his retainers had already appeared on the city wall in armor and neatly dressed, and Hino Nehiro also happened to arrive outside the city at this time.

Hino Nehiro knew that the Lu Dao clan Bu Quan was powerful, and he was afraid that the city of Ashigaru would suddenly kill out of the city when his position was not stable, so when he was a hundred meters away from Ogaki Castle, he took up the army.

Bu Quan, a clan member on the city wall, saw that the army under the lord's command had arrived, and while ordering to strengthen the guard, he shouted loudly in the face of Hino Nehiro outside the city: "Lord Hinogen has worked hard from afar, and the old man has not betrayed the lord, and the rumors that are prevalent in Nishimino today, the old man thinks that it must be the Oda family in order to provoke the relationship between the old man and the lord, so as to weaken the strength of the family, and ask the lord to go back and wait for the old man to explain to the lord." ”

After listening to his words, Hino Nehiro didn't believe it at all, if the rumors were false, then the Oda army easily crossed Ogaki Castle, but the clan Buquan didn't make any action at all, watching the enemy pass under the castle, what explanation is this? Don't say you didn't see it at all, in this case, you can only deceive a three-year-old child.

Moreover, seeing that the warriors in the city are all wearing armor and swords at their waists, this is obviously ready for battle, if it weren't for the fact that the clan Buquan had betrayed the lord, why would they be so cautious?

Thinking of this, he only heard Hino Nehiro and said angrily: "Could it be that you can't make me a three-year-old child, and the enemy passes by here, how can you explain it if you ignore it?" ”

I only heard the family Bu Quan hurriedly explained: "This ...... The old man thought it was a trick of the Oda family, and wanted to lure the troops in the city out of the city, so as to capture this big walled castle, and it was late at that time, so the old man didn't dare to go out lightly, but who knows... But who knew that the enemy's target was Natsuchida Castle, and I asked my lord to know it. ”

Listening to Hino Nehiro, he continued to ask: "Hmph, may I ask Lord Buquan of the clan, when the enemy is retreating, the sky is already dark, and Lord is still not out of the city, how can this be explained?" ”…,

"This ......" question, the family Bu Quan is really not easy to answer, when he learned that the enemy had left, he did not let him chase, he did this is actually to find a way back for his family.

If he wanted his family to continue to survive, he had to do this, if he had led the army without hesitation before, but it was because he was a little shaken in his heart at that time, so in the end he couldn't make up his mind and watched the enemy leave.

Seeing that the clan Bu Quan was speechless, Hino Nehiro had already decided that the clan Bu Quan had betrayed the lord, but fortunately he was not deceived by it just now, otherwise, it would not be good to think about the main bus.

I only heard Hino Nehiro shouting loudly: "Traitor, when I am leaving, the lord has already ordered the destruction of your entire clan, take your life"

After speaking, he saw the spear in his hand move forward, and he no longer listened to the explanation of the clan Bu Quan, and commanded Ashigaru to launch an attack on Ogaki Castle, and the clan Bu Quan in the city saw that Ashigaru outside the city had rushed towards the city, and he also hurriedly commanded Ashigaru to fight, and now he can't care about anything else, so let's keep Ogaki Castle first.

As soon as the two sides engaged, it could be seen that although the army led by Hino Nehiro was outnumbered, it was at a disadvantage, and the defenders of the city stood on the city wall, and the spears in their hands kept stabbing at the enemy outside the city, although there were casualties, but compared with the enemy troops outside the city, the losses were much smaller.

The two armies fought for less than a cup of tea, and saw that the army led by Hino Nehiro was all withdrawn after throwing down nearly a hundred corpses, and the number of dead in the defense of the city Ashigaru was only twenty.

Hino Nehiro saw that his subordinate Ashigaru had retreated, and hurriedly gathered his military momentum and prepared to fight again. And in the city, although the war is now, but all the samurai in the city are happy, and now that the main family and the Saito family have started a war, even if the lord does not want to go to the Oda family, it is no longer possible, so they all work together to try to kill more enemies outside the city, so that there is no room for maneuver in this matter. ……，
