In the assessment room of Okazaki Castle, the retainers of the Matsudaira family have long been sitting here in neat armor, and since noon, they have been engrossed in waiting for the lord to give the order to go out into battle, but the time for a stick of incense has long passed, but the lord has not spoken, and the retainers have begun to become anxious. (.dukankan.baidu search read and see)

Although Honda Tadakatsu is not very old, he is deeply favored by Matsudaira Motoyasu, he is a person who is anxious, seeing that the lord does not speak, and no one speaks to the retainers, so he is really a little uncomfortable, only to hear him can't help but speak: "Lord, now that it has been a long time since noon, the city has already been assembled, if there is no army, the morale of the subordinates is afraid that the morale of the ashigaru will be greatly reduced, so please ask the lord to go out as soon as possible." ”

When he said this, many retainers in the family were not willing to endure like this, so they couldn't help but echo and said: "My lord, what Honda said is reasonable, the enemy outside the city is just a group of peasants, even if there is no reinforcement from the Oda family, our army can easily win, if you wait like this, when the morale of the ashigaru is lost, it will be a little difficult to win again, and I also ask the lord to give an order to go out into battle, we will fight bravely to kill the enemy, in order to repay the favor of the lord." ”

At this time, Ishikawa Shumasa didn't have anything to say, he thought to himself, the Takayama clan has not launched an attack for a long time, I am afraid that he has seen through his strategy to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, even if the Matsudaira family continues to wait, it is estimated that he will not lead the army to go out first, if so, as the retainers said, waiting for the morale of the light to be gone, not only is this victory not big, I am afraid that even the city will be difficult to hold.

Thinking of this, I only heard Ishikawa Shumasa say helplessly: "Lord, my subordinates are ashamed, according to my subordinates, the strategy has been seen through by the Gaoshan clan, and it is pointless to wait any longer, according to this, only our army will come out first." Let the Lord decide. ”

Matsudaira Motoyasu looked at Ishikawa Shumasa, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, thinking that the Takayama clan had three times with him, although Ishikawa Shumasa had a slight victory, but it did not hurt a bit, and the Takayama clan always made a plan against the family, which put the Matsudaira family in crisis, so it seems that even the first think tank of the family is not his opponent, and such a person is really a big threat to the Matsudaira family.

Although the Matsudaira family and the Oda family are now allies, this strategy of killing people with a sword alone can destroy the family at any time, and people like him can't say anything to keep him alive in the world. It seems that after the pacification is over, it is necessary to find a way to eradicate it.

Matsudaira Motoyasu couldn't help but sigh secretly, this Takayama clan is indeed a celebrity, but unfortunately he can't own it, otherwise, how could the Matsudaira family end up in such a situation.

And he really can't understand that since the birth of the Takayama clan, he has not offended him, but the Takayama clan wants to deal with the Matsudaira family to death, I don't know why?

The retainers present saw that the lord had not given the order to go out of the army, nor did he speak, and even those retainers who had not spoken to persuade were a little unable to wait, and this time in the assessment room, all the retainers said in unison: "Lord, without further ado, please ask the lord to leave the army as soon as possible." (Fastest update.dukankan.read and see)"

Matsudaira Motoyasu didn't think much about it anymore, seeing that the retainers had already spoken, although he was helpless, but this matter was related to the survival of the Matsudaira family, so he couldn't help but hesitate.

I saw his face change, and said solemnly: "Everyone, today's battle is related to the future of my Matsudaira family, and I ask you to do your best, if this is defeated, I, Matsudaira Motoyasu, will not forget your bravery today, listen to the order!" Fight back from the enemy! After saying that, Matsudaira Motoyasu put on his armor, took the lead in standing up, and walked towards the assessment room.

The Matsudaira army had already been prepared as early as the morning, and at this moment they were all concentrated inside the gate, waiting for the order of the lord.

Matsudaira Motoyasu walked to the front of the Ashigaru phalanx, and behind him were more than thirty samurai wearing various armors, while Honda Tadakatsu and Kamihara Yasumasa acted as Matsudaira Motoyasu's bodyguards.

Of the more than 1,000 ashigaru present, none of them spoke, they were all waiting for the lord's order, and even these ashigaru didn't want to live any longer on such a day.

Since they were besieged by the city, not only did they not eat well and sleep well, but they often saw their comrades-in-arms who were still talking and laughing with them just now turned into cold corpses in an instant, and such things happened almost every day in the past half a month.

These ashigaru have also changed from fright to numbness, and have even begun to have a deep hatred for the army that has always been outside the city. They are no longer afraid of death now, and even if they die, they don't want to live such a day of fear all day long, and even if they die, they have to pull a few enemies on their backs. ,

Matsudaira Motoyasu saw the resolute look on the faces of the ashigaru, and couldn't help but feel satisfied, he saw that people's hearts were available, and then stepped on the war horse, and shouted loudly: "Everyone, in today's battle, only victory is allowed, not defeat, so I hope you will move forward bravely, and there will be a heavy reward afterwards, the whole army will listen to the order, target the enemy, and open the city!" After speaking, he took out the knife at his waist and walked in the front.

There have always been 10,000 thugs outside the city, and they were all sent to attack Okazaki Castle, but after half a month of strong siege, the city has never been captured, so the army has to besiege the city while harassing the locality, in order to raise military rations to support 10,000 people.

Just when they were bored, a junior samurai quickly ran to the tent of the main camp and reported loudly: "My lord, the gate of Okazaki Castle is wide open, and more than a thousand Matsudaira troops have been killed from it. ”

Inside the big tent, the main general Naito Kiyocho had already heard the shouts of killing outside the tent, he was fifty-four this year, his hair was gray, at his age, he should have enjoyed his old age in peace, but he still had the heart to win.

Naito Kiyoshi, like Torii Tadakichi, is a minister of the elders who served Matsudaira for three generations, but unlike Torii Tadakichi, he has never been reused by the Matsudaira family, and as of this time before the outbreak of the Tsui family, he only received more than 1,000 stones, which has made him hate the Matsudaira family to the extreme. So after the outbreak of the whole time, he did not hesitate to join it, wanting to obtain greater benefits.

Although his status in the Matsudaira family is not top-notch, he has served the Matsudaira family for more than 30 years, and with such a long time, his reputation among the rebels is unmatched, which is why he was promoted as the main general.

After listening to Ashigaru's report, Kiyocho Naito couldn't help but frown, he really knew too much about Matsudaira Motoyasu's character, in his opinion, Matsudaira Motoyasu was extremely cautious in what he said and did, and rarely took risks.

Now that he is leading the army to kill, this shows that he must have a way to win, otherwise, according to Matsudaira Motoyasu's character, I am afraid that he would rather stay in the city and continue to defend the city, and will never rush out of the army, but does he have the confidence to come from there? There must be a trick.

In the big tent, in addition to Naito Kiyonaga, there were several samurai and several monks with high status, among which the samurai saw that Naito Kiyocho did not rush to speak after listening to the report, out of trust in him, so he did not open his mouth to persuade the war. But though they didn't rush it, the monks didn't do it.

I only heard one of the big-bellied monks with a fat brain impatiently said: "Lord Naito, the enemy has come out, now is a good time to exterminate the Matsudaira family, if the Lord continues to hesitate like this, I'm afraid the enemy will be killed in this formation, hurry up and organize an attack." ”

Another monk also urged: "Lord Naito, I don't know what I want to do when I don't go out of the army at this time, is it because my lord still wants to return to the Matsudaira family?" ”

He said something serious, but the monk didn't care, and smiled smugly at the vicious gaze of the samurai present.

He didn't have the slightest worry, he didn't dare to say anything else, now in the territory of Sanhe, the power of the Ichijo Sect can be described as heavenly, even if these Matsudaira family traitors are united, they are by no means the opponents of the Ichisho Sect, and in addition, his status in the Ichijo Sect is not low, and he is not afraid of these enemies in front of him.

Kiyocho Naito was thinking about what tricks the Matsudaira family would use against him, so he didn't refute the monk, but if he didn't speak, it didn't mean that other samurai could endure this bad breath.

One of the samurai spoke: "What does the master mean by this, if there is no me to charge forward, how can the current scenery of Shanggong Temple be, if you slander Lord Naito again, then you will be offended." ”

"Humph! What is your identity, that you dare to speak to this seat like this, if you dare to be unfavorable to this seat, the whole family will be damned, and if you don't believe it, you can try. The monk said very shamelessly.

"You ......" Although this samurai also joined the rebel army for profit, he was convinced of the doctrine of heaven's damnation, and when he saw that the other party was now using this to suppress people, he really didn't dare to continue.

"Naito-sama, if we don't give the order, then we can do our own thing, and then this seat will definitely report today's matter to the first seat." Another monk threatened. Don't look at him like that, but how could a monk with a respected status like him really fight in person.

Naito Kiyocho was distraught by the shouting of the monks, and he couldn't continue to think about it at all, he could not pay attention to the suggestions of the samurai present, but he had to pay attention to the suggestions put forward by the monks, after all, don't look at the army under his command of more than 10,000 now, but among them, the real ones that can be called elite, I am afraid that in addition to the more than 200 banners under the command of the samurai, it is the 800 monks.

Although the temple has been completely defeated by the Red Oni Takayama Clan, in the territory of Mikawa, the power of the Ichiyama clan is still strong, and he is afraid that he will offend these monks because of this matter, and when the time comes, not only will the bamboo basket be empty, not to mention that he will not get any benefits, and maybe he will offend the Kamiya Temple, if this is the case, then he Naito family will no longer have a foothold in Mikawa.

Now that the enemy has been killed from Okazaki Castle, Naito Kiyonaga also knows that there is not much time left for him to think about it now, since he can't think of it, then he simply doesn't want to, anyway, the Matsudaira family's army is only more than 1,000 people, even if there is any trickery, there is nothing to fear.

Thinking of this, Naito Kiyocho no longer hesitated, only to see him stand up, draw out his sword, and said familiarly: "I have decided that the whole army will meet the enemy, and those who seek Matsudaira Motoyasu will have a heavy reward and attack!" ”
