"Report, lord, five miles ahead, the rich families of North America have been waiting for it, and they have the intention of fighting with their own family, and they also ask the princess to decide." After inquiring into the details of the front, a ninja immediately returned, came to the clan, and reported loudly.

The clan heard that those wealthy families in North America were not good to go back to defend the city, and they were actually ready to fight with themselves in the field, and they couldn't help but feel funny, and they didn't know if these wealthy clans didn't know their own strength, or they were too arrogant, since they came to die, then they would be good people and give them a ride. I only heard the clan sect ask lightly: "Oh, Zhilu Dao, have you ever found out how many troops the enemy army has?" ”

This ninja had already made it clear to the enemy army in front of him, but he didn't think about it, and said directly: "Back to the lord, according to the observation of his subordinates, the number of enemy troops is about 1,300, and the leader is not Endo Morishu, please ask the lord to decide." ”

"Zhilu Dao, you continue to the front to observe the enemy's movements, and if there is any new situation, return to report immediately." After saying that, the clan no longer paid attention to the ninja who was leaving quickly, but began to ponder, could it be that the enemy was stupid? Only 1,300 troops are also playing prestige in front of Lao Tzu, don't they know that the combat power of the Oda family banner is much stronger than the peasant soldiers under their command?

And Endo Morishu is no longer in command in the army, so where else can he go? There must be some fraud in this, so it's better to be careful. Thinking of this, the clan couldn't help but raise his head and look ahead, when he saw that the peaks and hills here were all over the place, and the road was even more uneven, he couldn't help but smile coldly, he secretly said in his heart, did he want to sneak attack Lao Tzu? But don't forget, Lao Tzu is the originator of sneak attacks, if you want to sneak attack Lao Tzu, you should go back and learn for a few more years, but it seems that you don't have a chance.

I only heard the clan ask Honda Masanobu beside him: "Masanobu, what do you think of the actions of the wealthy families in North America?" ”

Honda Masanobu, who had been a head away from the clan, listened to the lord's question, hurriedly urged the reins, stepped forward half a step forward and said: "Since the lord has a plan in his heart, his subordinates will no longer be ugly in front of the lord." ”

"Ha Luha, for Endo Shengshu, this battle is related to whether he can continue to survive, how can he not go to supervise the battle in person, even if he is no longer in the formation, that is, he wants to carry out a sneak attack, but if he wants to sneak attack Lao Tzu, he will have to pay the price at that time."

In the past, the clan Zongzheng couldn't capture the fortified Gujo Hachiman Castle at the least cost, but now Endo Morishu has sent him a way. If he really gives up the fortified city and does not defend it, then he can take advantage of the situation to seize the city. As long as Hachiman Castle is captured, why should those little wealthy clans be afraid?

Thinking of this, I only heard the clan sect shouting loudly: "Maeda Toshiya"

Maeda Toshiya heard the lord's greetings, and immediately stepped forward and said, "My subordinates are here, please ask the lord to order." ”

"I order you to lead the Iron Thorn Cavalry to avoid the sight of the wealthy clan, and go to Hachiman Castle in the county, if Endo Morishu is still in this city, then it will be enough, if not, take this city for me, there is no mistake."

"Yes, subordinates ......" Maeda Toshiya was about to answer, but before Maeda Toshiya could finish answering, Wasuka Masakatsu hurriedly came to the front and said: "My lord, please also hand over the siege task to the ninja army, and my subordinates will ensure that they will capture Gujo Hachiman Castle unharmed." ”

In the eyes of Wasuka Masakatsu, if you want to talk about attacking the city, I am afraid that the ninja army has the greatest advantage, after all, compared with the iron thorn horse, the flexibility of the ninja army is much stronger than it, and this attack on the county Hachiman Castle, if the ninja army is allowed to steal the city, the probability of success is greater than that of letting the iron thorn horse go to attack.

And every siege battle, the lord will basically hand over this arduous task to the ninja army to complete, but how could the lord suddenly hand over the siege task to the iron thorn cavalry who is not good at city warfare this time? It's a bit of a strange thing. Thinking of this, Wasuka Masakatsu frowned, trying to figure out the lord's intentions.

How can he understand the thoughts of the clan, the clan sees that this place is hilly, and it is uneven, not suitable for cavalry combat, even if they are left behind, it will not be of great use, rather than this, it is better to let them go to seize the city, as for the ninja army, of course, it will not let them be idle, the clan has full confidence, with Shibata, the seven hundred and fifty ashigaru of the Maeda army can sweep the opponent's 1,300 troops, and the ninja army, of course, must be used on the blade.

I only heard the clan sect say solemnly: "Needless to say, you have set off with the Iron Thorn Cavalry." ”…,

"The subordinates obey the order, and the subordinates will live up to the trust of the lord." After saying that, Maeda Toshiya glanced at Wasuka Masakatsu, and immediately organized the Iron Thorn Ride to Hachiman Castle in the gun.

Before the Maeda Toshiya could leave, the clan shouted loudly.

Nakamura Yishi didn't expect the lord to mention his name when arranging the battle, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, although he was also fully armed now, but he himself understood that with his own little martial arts, it was impossible for the lord to give him too important tasks. I only heard him reply: "My subordinates are here." ”

"You and Maeda Toshiya go to Hachiman Castle in the gun, and after this castle is captured, you immediately plan for this castle, and then I will listen to your suggestions for the rectification of this castle."

After Maeda Toshiya and Nakamura Kazushi left, they only heard the clan say, "Wasuka Masakatsu"

Wasuka Masakatsu listened to the lord's name calling, and Zhilu Dao also had a task assigned to the ninja army, so he no longer bothered with the Maeda Toshiya, and hurriedly replied: "The subordinates are here, please ask the lord to command." ”

"You immediately lead the ninja army to set off, look for the hiding place of Endo Morishu around the battlefield, and after discovering the enemy, don't act rashly first, and wait for him to leave the army, and then lead the ninja army to attack him, can you hear clearly?"

After saying "subordinates obey orders", Wasuka Masakatsu did not leave immediately, but asked: "My lord, what if Endo Morishu's army is not near the battlefield?" ”

I only heard the clan snort lightly and said: "Hmph, Endo Shengshu has always been proud and arrogant, and has always thought that he is unparalleled in his resourcefulness, and this battle is related to whether his family name can be continued, so I expect that he will be ambushed near the battlefield, as long as you are patient and probe, you will be able to find his traces." There's not much time, so don't ask, just do it right away. ”

After listening to this, Wasuka Masakatsu's eyes were shining, and if he carried out the instructions of the lord, then the ninja army he led would be the closest to Endo Morisu, and it would be the most likely to take it, and if it really succeeded, the credit would not be smaller than that of the Maeda Toshiie.

As soon as Wasuka Masakatsu left, the clan said, "Keiji, immediately bring in Murai Chohachiro and Worship Iejia, I have something to discuss with them." ”

Watanabe Moritsuna, who had been following the clan and did not speak, saw that the lord had already sent all the ninja army and the iron thorn cavalry out, and the two reinforcements also had the heavy responsibility of killing the enemy in front of the battle, so he couldn't help but be a little worried, so he only heard him speak: "Lord, you only left fifty childish sword ashigaru as your main formation, is it too little?" Besides, I don't know how many of the enemy's troops are secretly ambushing, in case the enemy has a large number of ambushes, how can only fifty young swords and feet resist? Please also think twice. ”

"Don't worry, you don't have to set up a main formation in this operation, after meeting with the enemy, our army can directly launch a full attack, and after defeating the North American Nonghao Clan Alliance, then turn around and besiege the army led by Endo Morishu, so there is no need to be afraid of its sneak attack on this formation."

"The wisdom of the main attack is not as good as the subordinates." Watanabe Moritsuna felt sincere admiration for the clan's mind, and couldn't help but sigh.

After a while, I saw two fast horses coming to the front of the clan, and the front army led by the two of them, and the rear army, were only more than 300 meters away from the Chinese army led by the clan, and as soon as Watanabe's words fell, the two of them came to the front with Maeda Keiji, only to hear them say in unison: "I don't know what is the important matter for Lord Takayama to call the inferior?" ”

The clan said directly to the point: "Two adults, the enemy has already set up a formation in front, and when our army fights the enemy later, don't leave room for it, directly launch a fierce attack, use the shortest time to defeat the enemy in front of you, and then encircle and suppress the enemy's ambush, I don't know what the two adults think?" ”

"Will the enemy have ambushes?" Murai Chohachiro blurted out while subconsciously wanting to look at both sides, and Bai Xiang Jiajia did the same, but now that the battlefield has not even arrived, of course the two of them can't find anything abnormal.

"Yes, although the location of the enemy ambush has not yet been discovered, I am sure that the enemy has already arranged it. If our army is engaged in a battle with the frontal enemy, the enemy's ambush can be used to kill it, so our army will inevitably be in chaos, so we must quickly deal with the frontal enemy, and then use all our strength to clear the ambush. Clan Zong nodded and said.

Murai Chohachiro and Worship Shrine Kamoto were not wise people, and when they led the army to help, their respective lords had already warned them that they must obey the arrangements of the Takayama clan in this battle, and there must be no disobedience, otherwise they will not be spared.

And Murai Chohachiro and Baixiang Jiajia had already thought very clearly before they set off, who was the Takayama clan, since the accident with the Oda family, it can be said that they have no last resort, and they can win more with less every battle, and they can also exchange for the greatest results at the lowest cost.

In order not to lose too much, even if the lord does not say it, in this battle, the two of them will absolutely obey the orders issued by the Gaoshan clan, so as not to get it, because they do not listen to the command, resulting in heavy losses, if so, it will be difficult to go back to the main bus, if it is because of the clan's command error, and cause heavy losses, then the lord even if he wants to blame, he can't blame himself.

So after the clan finished speaking, Murai Chohachiro and Baixiang Jiajia didn't even think about it, but only heard them answer without hesitation: "Everything is arranged by Takayama-sama, and the inferior ones are at the disposal of Takayama-sama." ”……，
