Just after two days, 150 ashigaru troops led by Murai Chohachiro rushed to the outside of Shimosha Castle, and the 600 reinforcements sent by Shibata Katsuya were also under the leadership of Baixiang Ieka, ready to go.

Seeing that the army was already in power, the clan didn't say much, but saw him straddle the horse, waved his big hand, and said loudly: "The whole army listens to the order, and the target county is Hachiman Castle, and set off."

As soon as the words fell, Murai Chohachiro led the Maeda army to open the way in front, Baixiang Jiajia led the 600 Shibata army to join the rear, and the clan clan led the headquarters army to walk in the middle of the ranks.

"Report to the lord, more than 1,000 troops led by the Takayama clan of the Oda family have set off from Xiashe City early this morning and are heading straight for North America, and I ask the lord to prepare early."

In the living room of Hachiman Castle in the county, Endo Morishu was listening to the report of the ninja, when he heard that the Takayama clan led the army to attack, he was a little flustered in his heart, the name of the Takayama clan, he had already been thunderous, although his subordinates were all rare elites in the world, but after all, the number was less than 500, and he couldn't make any big waves. However, I heard just now that the strength of the army under his command has skyrocketed to thousands of people, which cannot but make him pay attention to it.

I only heard Endo Morishu ask, "How many of these thousand troops are reinforcements sent by Oda Nobunaga?" In his opinion, although Oda Nobunaga's spear ashigaru can also be called elite in the world, but if it is compared with Takayama Iron Thorn or the ninja army under his command, it is much worse, and the combat power of the spear ashigaru is at most comparable to the childish sword ashigaru led by Yamauchi Kazutoyo.

If there are many reinforcements, and the army of the Gaoshan clan headquarters is small, then with the 2,000 army of the North American Nonghao clan, he is not afraid of him, if it is the opposite, then he has to think more about his future.

"Back to the lord, according to the investigation of his subordinates, among the 1,000 enemy troops, in addition to the 250 Takayama clan clan banners of the Ashigaru, the rest of the army, there are 600 Shibata troops, 150 Maeda troops, and there is no spear ashigaru under Oda Nobunaga to participate in the battle, please make a decision."

"How is this possible? Have you ever found out? Endo Katsushu couldn't believe his ears, at this moment, he was filled with joy and sorrow in his heart, happy that among the thousand troops led by the Takayama clan, there were a large number of miscellaneous armies, although whether it was the Shibata army or the Maeda army, it was much higher than the combat power of the North American strong coalition army, but don't forget, the North American strong army was twice as strong as the enemy, and now the weather has gradually begun to get colder, and the enemy army can only eat and sleep in the open air, so that the time, geography, people and his own side have all been occupied, even if he has some strategies from the Takayama clan, what can he do.

Thinking of this, Endo Katsushu was no longer worried, but he didn't dare to be careless, after all, the reputation of the Takayama clan was outside, and it was better to take it seriously, so he just heard him speak: "Immediately spread the news to the wealthy families in North America, and let them send someone to the county of Hachiman Castle to discuss the strategy of retreating from the enemy." ”

"It's the lord, and my subordinates will go here." After the ninja finished speaking, he bowed to Endo Morishu and walked quickly out of the living room.

The clan has not yet come out of the Owari territory, and the castle tower of Hachimanjo Castle in the county is already overcrowded, and all of them here without exception are the heads of each family, although Endo Morishu only let the wealthy families send people to come, but as soon as these wealthy clans heard that it was the fox of Owari who led the army to attack, they dared not come to discuss countermeasures in person, and if they were negligent, it was with their own family name, and the territory could not go.

Seeing that the people had arrived, Endo Morishu knew that time was pressing, and he no longer spoke to everyone, and said directly to the point: "Everyone, now that the Gaoshan clan is leading an army of 1,000 to attack, whoever has a strategy to retreat from the enemy, you might as well say it, and everyone will discuss it together." ”

Endo Morishu can not be in a hurry with the sturdiness of Hachiman Castle in the county, but the other wealthy samurai present can't help but be in a hurry, most of them have no more than 100 soldiers under their command, and the castle is ruined, how can this withstand the onslaught of the previous army led by the Takayama clan? …,

At this moment, they are all thinking hard about how to keep their family business in the face of the huge enemy army. Many of them have already given birth to the idea of returning to the Oda family, they see that now the Oda family has become a unified thick tail, if they resist like this, they can only be buried for the Saito family in the end, but they also think that the other title of the red ghost of the Takayama clan can't help but chill down the spine, and the Takayama clan doesn't even respect the gods and Buddhas, how will they treat themselves?

If you send someone directly to Owari to express your allegiance to Oda Nobunaga, I'm afraid that the people I sent will already reach North America before the people I sent arrive, so what should I do?

Seeing that all the wealthy families were silent, Endo Morishu smiled slightly and said, "Since you can't think of a good plan, I don't know if you can listen to me?" ”

The wealthy family has always been looking forward to Endo Shengshu, one is in the North American thick area, Endo Shengshu has the highest status, the largest territory, and every time it encounters a crisis, it can come up with a solution, over time, the North American rich family, has regarded him as the backbone of the general, all the suggestions put forward by Endo Shengshu, all followed. Even if he is the first person in North America, it is not too much.

After listening to it, the previous panic was swept away, yes, there is Endo-sama in North America, what else do you have to worry about, as long as you listen to the order, you will be able to keep your family name and territory this time.

Thinking of this, I only heard everyone in the assessment room say in unison: "I am willing to obey Endo-sama's orders." ”

Endo Katsushu smiled slightly, this is what he wants, this time the Takayama clan led the army to attack, unlike in the past, when he was waiting for the wealthy clan to come to discuss, he had already sent someone to find out that the purpose of the Takayama clan's army this time was to come for the eight thousand stone Zhixing of Hachiman Castle under his own rule.

When he learned the news, he had an idea, that is, to use the power of these wealthy clans in front of him to consume the Takayama army, although Endo Morishu has concluded that the Hao clan coalition army cannot have a chance to win, but as long as it can consume half of the Takayama army, and he is ambushed behind his army, if it goes well, maybe he can also kill the Takayama clan under the horse, even if he can't, he has full confidence, with the solidity of Hachiman Castle in the county, exhaust the other party's grain and grass.

At that time, the Takayama clan clan couldn't retreat if they wanted to, and after this battle, the big and small wealthy clans of North America had been exhausted by the Takayama army, and the Saito family was now difficult to protect itself, and he could take advantage of this time to seize the northern part of North America, and the southern part of North America had been loyal to the Oda family, and he hadn't taken it into his eyes. Presumably, it is also a battle to be captured.

At that time, he has tens of thousands of stone land in North America, wait and see what happens, if Oda and Saito are both defeated, they can take advantage of the situation, all take Mino and Owari two million stone land, so as to obtain the capital of the world, if the Saito family is destroyed, then he will be loyal to Oda Nobunaga, with tens of thousands of stone land in his hands, in addition to thousands of ashigaru, will be valued by Oda Nobunaga, these two roads, no matter which one they take, to the most rear, they are the biggest winners. As for the third way? Endo didn't think there was a third way to go.

However, Endo Morishu still doesn't know what to do, and the Takayama clan has already thought of a third way for him, that is, death, not only does he die, but the clan also wants to eradicate all the Endo clans in Hachiman Castle in the county.

Just when Endo Shengshu was stunned, the warriors of the wealthy clan who were sitting with his hands were waiting for him to say a plan just now, and they had to hurry down to prepare, but who knows, he was halfway through his words, and suddenly closed his mouth, and this is not counting, I saw that when Endo Shengshu was stunned, his facial expression was very rich, one would smile, one would frown, and everyone thought that he had thought of something better, so no one interrupted him, for fear of affecting his train of thought. This is a major matter related to the safety of my family, and it is not a big deal to wait a little longer. …,

But seeing that time is constantly passing, there are a few Hao clan samurai who can't sit still, their territories are all in the south of Hachiman Castle in the county, not far from Higashi Mino, if the Takayama army comes to attack, their territory is the first to bear the brunt, so it is impossible to be as calm as other Hao clan samurai.

After waiting for a while, I heard a middle-aged samurai with a sad face and couldn't help but speak: "Endo-sama, the enemy is not far from here, please let me make a clear plan, I can go down and prepare immediately." ”

As soon as his voice fell, Endo Morishu, who was dreaming of dominating the world, was finally pulled back into reality, he felt a little dissatisfied with this samurai, if he spoke half a minute later, he would have already unified the world, and he had never dreamed of such a dream.

After a lingering aftertaste, Endo Morishu said: "Ahem, everyone, I think that the Takayama Clan Sect should still be two days away from reaching the North American Thick Land, as far as I can see, you take advantage of this time to immediately return to the territory to mobilize Ashigaru and fight to the death with the Takayama Clan......

The warriors of the Hao clan waited for a long time, but they didn't expect to wait for such a result, if they could fight, then they would still use all the way to this county to go to Hachiman Castle to discuss countermeasures, and directly set up a position, waiting for the arrival of the army led by the Takayama clan.

One of the samurai didn't wait for Endo Morishu to finish speaking, and then directly interrupted: "Endo-sama, it's not that we are unwilling to face the enemy head-on with the Takayama clan, it's just that even if we join forces, in this haste, we can only gather its 1,200 troops at most, although they have a slight advantage over the Takayama army in terms of military strength, but the elite of the Takayama army, everyone in the world, with these 1,200 peasant soldiers, it is impossible to win no matter what." ”

After hearing this, the warriors of the Hao clan present couldn't help but nodded, they still have self-knowledge, North America is a little remote, but the record of the Takayama Army, they have heard of it some, although among the 1,000 troops who came this time, only 250 Ashigaru are the real elite of the Takayama clan, but just these 200 samurai are named Takayama elites, and they are not able to resist their 1,200 peasant soldiers.

If you really listen to Endo's words and face the Takayama Army head-on, what is the difference between that and waiting to be killed? ……，
