The nearly 200 ninjas present knelt on the ground without exception and let out an earth-shattering roar: "The subordinates are willing to be people, and the subordinates swear to follow the leader to the death!" ”

“…···” shouted three times in a row before they vented all the grievances in their hearts.

Mizune couldn't help but be shocked by the roar of the ninjas, but he knew that now was not the time to be moved, so he put the wooden box he was carrying on his back and took off the black coarse cloth coat on his body.

When he opened the box, all the ninjas present showed envious expressions, and in the box, a standard armor worn by the alpine ninja army was lying quietly. I saw that under the gaze of the ninjas, he put the chain ninja armor on his body and put the Hachima ninja helmet on his head, and although this armor was exactly the same as that worn by the Takayama family ninja army, there was no mountain on the chest of the armor

After getting dressed neatly, I saw Mizuse Uemon pull out the ninja knife from his sheath and said loudly: "Brothers, now that the Matsunaga army has begun to attack, our opportunity to show has come, you must move forward bravely in this battle, even if you die in battle, you don't have to worry about the future life of your family, this is my promise to the lord to you." ”

I only heard the ninjas reply: "Everything is arranged by the leader, and the subordinates will swear to repay the death!" ”

"Good! Where's the half-help! I only heard Mizuse Uemon say loudly.

"The subordinates are here, please command the leader!" Seeing the leader's call, Hannosuke hurriedly stepped forward, came to his side, and replied.

"You immediately lead a hundred ninjas around the rear of the army led by Hidesho Matsunaga and attack it./"

Hannosuke was the first to follow Minase Uemon, as early as when Mizse was just a shinobi, he had already followed him, and now he saw that the leader handed over such an important task to himself, he couldn't help but be very excited, he knew that this was the leader in creating opportunities for himself, if he could make a great contribution this time, then after he understood some more mysteries and became a middle ninja, he would inevitably be appreciated by the main hall, thinking of this, only to hear him answer and immediately lead a hundred ninjas back the same way, straight to the back of the army under the command of Matsunaga Xiu.

As soon as he left, he heard Mizuse Uemon say again, "You wait with me to support the lord." ”

At this time, the Takayama clan who was trapped in the mountain was already in a hurry, and when the ninjas who were placed five hundred meters away from him raised the alarm, he and the Takayama army under his command were all awakened, but at this time, the two thousand elites of the Matsunaga army had already launched an attack from three sides, and the ninja army under his command was only two hundred in total, and they could not resist the enemy's attack at all.

In order not to let the ninja army under his command lose too much, the Takayama clan ordered the ninja army not to fight hard with the enemy while gathering the strength of the army, and retreated to his side while blocking the enemy.

Wasuka Masakatsu is very uncomfortable now, the reason why he was attacked by the enemy is completely because he did not arrange the ninja army farther, if the range of the ninja alert is extended to a distance of one thousand meters, then even if the enemy attacks, then the army will have enough time to prepare.

In order to make up for his mistakes at the first time when the battle began, Wasuka Masakatsu felt that he was fighting the enemy at the front, but the enemy was attacking from three sides, and there were hundreds of people on each side, and the family only had fifty ninjas on each side, and they were very scattered, so even if he went into battle in person, it would be useless, and I saw Wasuka Masakatsu throw the whole shuriken in his arms at the enemy as if he didn't want money, although many enemies also fell to the ground, but more enemies will rush up soon.

Soon, the shuriken in Wasuka Masakatsu's arms was already missing, and when he looked back, he could see that his army's army was not ready at all, and if he let the enemy rush over like this, then his family would not only be defeated by the enemy, but also suffer heavy losses. …,

He knew that the reason why the Alpine Army has the current scale is that it has condensed too much of the lord's hard work, if he suffers a major loss like this, the lord will definitely be heartbroken, and, most importantly, if the family suffers too much loss, then if it wants to condense into today's combat power, it will take at least half a year, although it seems that half a year is not too long, however, at present, the Oda family is in a period of great development, let alone half a year, even if it is half a day, it cannot be delayed.

And compared with the elite ashigaru of his own family, if the ninja army wants to become an army, it will be much faster, as long as he relaxes his requirements a little, I am afraid that in less than two months, the ninjas will gather in Hachiman Castle in the county, so he would rather the ninja army under his command be wiped out, but also protect the elite ashigaru of his own family.

Thinking of this, I saw Wasuka Masakatsu pull out the ninja knife and ordered loudly: "Order, the ninja army will attack the enemy, rush with me!" ”

After he finished speaking, he was just about to rush out of the city, when he saw a ninja hurriedly stop him and said: "My lord, just now the lord has issued an order to the ninja army, telling me to wait to resist, if we attack the enemy now, wouldn't it be against the lord's order, and there are many enemy troops, and the number of my own ninja army is too small, even if you attack the enemy, it will be useless, this will only increase the casualties, please think twice." ”

Seeing that the enemy had rushed forward, how could he have time to explain to him, only to hear him shout loudly in an unquestionable tone: "Fart! Isn't it possible that the ninja army has not fought in recent years, so it makes you cowardly, let me tell you, even if the ninja army is wiped out, you must keep the safety of the lord and the elite of the family, if you are afraid of death, then take off the armor on your body, I will allow you to leave, this battle, I want to prove to the world, even if the ninja army has been in ambush for many years, it is just as elite. As for the lord, I am the only one to bear all the blame! ”

And although the ninja did not obtain the status of a samurai, he could not allow others to say that he was cowardly, even if it was Wasuka Masakatsu, so he said firmly: "My lord, it is better to leave the task of herald to others, and your subordinates are willing to be the first to attack the enemy, so as to prove that they are not greedy for life and afraid of death." After saying that, he didn't wait for Wasuka Masakatsu to speak, and rushed to the enemy with the determination to die.

However, there were too many enemies, and as soon as he rushed into the enemy group and killed four or five ashigaru, he was annihilated by the enemy army like a drop of water into the sea.

"Well done!" Seeing this, Wasuka Masakatsu couldn't help muttering.

Two lines of tears slid down the Iron Khan's cheeks. I saw him wipe his face, repeat the order for a while, and then rush straight towards the enemy.
