The clan sect is not worried about the question of whether Endo Morishu will be discovered by him if he suddenly discovers that there is a military officer heading straight for him, and now in the heart of the clan sect, there is no suspense in this battle, if he can't win in this way, then he can also be killed by a head. And that Endo Shengshu is regarded as meat on the chopping board by the clan, and the Endo family will inevitably not be able to escape the end of destruction.

Now that the war has become clear, Honda Masanobu no longer persuaded the clan to pay attention to the issue of safety, but was slightly worried about the fact that the lord let Maeda Keiji fight, and only heard him speak: "Is the lord planning to reuse Maeda Keiji?" ”

The clan asked rhetorically, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Honda Masanobu boldly said: "Lord, the subordinates think that this Maeda Keiji's arrogance has not been reined in, if he is allowed to lead the army alone now, it is still early, with his character, it is inevitable that he will get into trouble, if this is the case, this will have an impact on the development of the lord, so according to the views of his subordinates, he should also be sharpening his sharpness. ”

The reason why Honda Masanobu has such a statement is that he doesn't have any opinions about Maeda Keiji, he is completely thinking about the foundation of the Takayama family, and how can the clan not understand his intentions, so he doesn't have the intention of blaming, and said with a smile: "Masanobu always thinks about his family, it's really hard, Keiji's matter, I have the same idea as you, if you don't smooth out his edges and corners, it's really difficult to take on a big responsibility." As for letting him fight this time, it was nothing more than to let him experience what a real fight was like, after all, he hadn't really experienced the cruelty of war. Maybe his personality will change because of this. ”

"The lord is wise, but his subordinates are too worried." Seeing that the lord had already considered it all, Honda Masatin hurriedly said respectfully.

The more than 100 ashigaru members of the Maeda Army did not have any unfamiliarity with the eldest young master of the Maeda family, so in terms of command, although Maeda Keiji could not be said to be an arm, he was also handy.

At this moment, I saw him riding on a horse, and said proudly: "The lord ordered me to lead you and others to attack the ambush led by Endo Morishu, if someone does not fight bravely to kill the enemy in this battle, don't blame me for being unkind, remember it for me, and set off."

After speaking, I saw Maeda Keiji clamping the horse's belly, rushing to the front, and galloping directly in the direction given by the clan.

In the main formation of the North American Nonghao Clan's alliance, there are more and more samurai gathered here, and it is not too much to describe their current mood with the desire to cry without tears, they see that the army under their command has no power to return to the sky, and the Endo Shengshu has not appeared for a long time, and they can't help but scold their eight generations of ancestors from beginning to end, but what is the use of this, seeing that the Takayama Army has fought with the last three formations, if they don't retreat quickly, it will be too late to retreat for a while.

I only heard one of the warriors of the Hao clan shouting in this formation: "Lord Aoyama, we have been tricked by Endo Morishu, don't worry about that bastard anymore, you should give the order to retreat quickly, otherwise the army under the command of the Hao clan will be wiped out." Please make a decision as soon as possible. ”

With 6,500 koku Chiyuki, Aoyama Keimasu was second only to Endo Morishu in North America, so he commanded this joint battle, and he, like all the samurai present, was angry at Endo's lack of faith. It's not that he hasn't thought about retreating, but even if he retreats now, what's the use, even if all the wealthy clans are united, they are not the opponents of the Gaoshan clan, if they are disbanding the coalition army and everyone defending the land, in this way, it will be a foregone conclusion if they are broken by the Gaoshan army, in order to keep the name of the family, Qingshan Jingzheng will not allow such a thing to happen anyway.

If you want to live with your family name forever and your territory is not damaged, then... Then there is only one way to go now, and that is to immediately lead the people to want the Oda family to return to obedience, otherwise it will be too late to regret it. But the samurai in front of him are not his own retainers, so if they don't plan to return to the Oda family, what should they do? …,

Thinking of this, I only heard Qingshan Jingzheng ask tentatively: "Everyone, now that the situation of our army is critical, apart from withdrawing the army, is there anything else you can do?" ”。

These wealthy samurai present, there is no capable talent, otherwise they would not have been nested in North America for so many years, before today, they have always regarded Endo Morishu as the backbone, but now it is clear that Endo Morishu can not be counted on, and suddenly let their brains that have not moved for many years turn again, it is simply difficult for a strong man, and when they first engaged with the Takayama Army, they were already panicked, when they heard Aoyama Keimasa's words, in addition to staring at each other, What other clever strategies can you come up with?

Time does not wait for people, and the warriors of the Hao clan also know that if Lu Dao is delayed like this, everything will be over, only after a while, I saw one of the warriors arch his hand to Qingshan Jingzheng and said: "Lord Qingshan, my ability is limited, I really can't think of any solution, my lord may as well say it directly, and I am willing to obey my lord's orders." ”

As soon as his voice fell, the other warriors also chimed in: "Yes, Lord Aoyama, the situation is critical now, you can speak quickly, we are all willing to wait for your lordship's dispatch." ”

Subtly, the samurai of the wealthy families in North America have abandoned Endo Shengshu and regard Aoyama Keimasa as the backbone.

Before this, if the wealthy families could abandon Endo Morishu and obey their words, they would definitely be happy for three days and three nights and couldn't sleep, Aoyama Keimasa had no big ambitions, in addition to letting the family name continue to be passed on, and then there was the obedience of the wealthy families in North America, but now his dream has come true, but he can't laugh at all.

I only heard him say without the slightest interest: "Everyone, I already plan to return to the Oda family, I wonder if you have any willing followers?" ”

The samurai of the wealthy clan were quite surprised when they heard this, and returned to the Oda family, they didn't think there was anything wrong, anyway, as long as they could continue to keep the territory, it would be the same with whoever they were mixed with, and they could all see that the Saito family was already declining, and sooner or later it would be destroyed by the Oda family, if it could be surrendered, the future would be bright, but since they had taken refuge in the Oda family, they had to negotiate with the Red Oni Takayama clan immediately, but the reputation of the Takayama clan was too creepy, thinking of this, they couldn't help but shudder, Now that the defeat of the army has been decided, if you go to the Red Ghost Formation, in case they are angry and kill themselves, then everything will be over.

I only heard one of the samurai say in a heavy tone: "Lord Aoyama, I have no objection to being loyal to the Oda family, but if the Red Oni Takayama Clan takes the opportunity to kill us on the spot, it will inevitably be worth the loss, so please think twice." ”

Qingshan Jingzheng smiled bitterly and said, "Alas, apart from this method, what other strategy can be used to turn the danger into a disaster?" Later, even if the Takayama clan ordered to be seppuku in Xia, if the next person died, he would be able to keep his family name and territory, and he would die without regrets. And according to the following opinion, Oda Nobunaga probably didn't want to see the chaos in North America, at the cost of one person's death, in exchange for the inheritance of the family name and the safety of the family, I died without regrets. ”

Speaking of this, Qingshan Jingzheng's gaze glanced around everyone, and then continued: "If no one dares to follow, then there is only one person in the lower group who will go to the Gaoshan Clan's sect formation. After saying that, Aoyama Keimasa didn't get up and go immediately, but left some time for the samurai present to think, but with the current situation, this time to think about it couldn't be too long.

Before Aoyama Keimasa could open his mouth to urge, he saw one of the samurai with a bloody face rushing in from outside the formation, and he hurriedly said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the big thing is not good, the middle and rear formations have been... The enemy has broken through, the left and right rear two formations are about to collapse, the enemy is already close at hand, my lord, quickly, quickly order a retreat. ”…,

After he finished speaking, none of the warriors of the Hao clan present would continue to hesitate, only to see that they all stood up, hugged their fists to Qingshan Jingzheng, and said solemnly: "I am willing to go to the Gaoshan clan clan formation with my lord to discuss the matter of returning to Shun." ”

The samurai who had just come in saw that everyone was about to submit to Oda, and hurriedly said, "This ...... Lord Qingshan, my lords, the Gaoshan clan doesn't even respect the gods and Buddhas, if there is a ...... Please think again, your Excellency. ”

"Needless to say, I have made up my mind with you on this matter, and immediately give the order to stop the attack of the whole army."

The samurai who just came in had only 500 koku in his territory, and the ashigaru under his command was even more pitiful, and it was not unreasonable for Aoyama Keimasa to give him a direct order. And this samurai saw that the adults had made up their minds, and even if he continued to persuade them, it would be difficult to change their decision, so he only listened to him sigh, clenched his fists, and went to give the order.

"Lord, please look, the enemy has given up resistance." In the Takayama military formation, Masanobu Honda, who had been paying attention to the situation on the battlefield, pointed ahead as he spoke.

The clan raised his head and looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, he saw that the enemy Ashigaru no longer made any movement, and from behind these ashigaru, more than ten fast horses galloped towards his side. Seeing this, the clan smiled slightly and said to Honda Masanobu: "Hehe, it seems that the enemy can't bear it and wants to be obedient, what does Masanobu think?" ”

Now Honda Masanobu is also in a good mood, if there is no accident in the county, it is a foregone conclusion that Hachiman Castle will be owned by the lord, and now that the wealthy families of North America have come to return to Shun, then the North American Noi land will completely belong to Oda from now on, and in the future, the Shiyuki County Hachiman Castle, to which the lord belongs, will no longer have to worry about being attacked by these wealthy families.

I only heard Honda Masatin speak: "My lord, my subordinates think that if these wealthy families are obedient, they should also be kind to each other, after all, the lord's knowledge and deeds are here in the future, and they should not be too deeply associated with the surrounding forces, so as not to be threatened unnecessarily. ”

"Hehe, there is some truth in what Zhengxin said, but I think that it is better to use good words to soothe each other, so that if these wealthy families want to rebel again, they must think about it." ……，
