I only heard the clan said: "Mizuse Uemon, you continue to send people to keep an eye on the Takeda family, as soon as its army comes out, I will receive information as soon as possible." ”

"It's the lord."

When Mizuse Uemon finished answering, the clan continued to instruct: "Wind Demon Kotaro, you send someone back to the Wind Demon, let those thousand ninjas secretly make a move, and wait for the order to leave at any time." ”

"Wasuka Masakatsu, you go with the ninjas who went to the Wind Demon to give orders, these thousand people are temporarily under your command, as soon as the order arrives, immediately march towards Hida, and destroy and plunder along the way."

After thinking about it, the clan decided to send Wasuka Masakatsu there, it was all because he didn't have much faith in those thousand ninjas, and if they were allowed to fight blindly, even if the Takeda army had already left the territory, they would definitely pay a considerable price.

And if there is Wasuka Masakatsu to command, it will be very different, not only is he quite experienced in commanding the ninja army, but also when fighting against the Miyoshi family, he has also accumulated enough experience, so the clan believes that after this battle, he can bring back at least eight hundred ninjas, as long as he can bring back eight hundred ninjas, then the number of the ninja army can reach the number he has budgeted.

Although Wasuka Masakatsu didn't say anything after listening, he knew in his heart the purpose of the lord sending him, and he knew that this time the destruction and looting in the Takeda family's territory were secondary, and if they could do it, they would withdraw, and the most important thing was to bring them back safely.

When Wasuka Masakatsu finished answering, he only heard the clan's most reluctant say, "Before the Takeda family went west. Our army maintains the status quo, the ninja army is temporarily led by me personally, Kazema Kotaro must remember not to show any horses and feet during this time, even to the ninjas under his command for the time being, if Yama County Changjing tells you to lead the army to attack the city, then come and attack, for the most difficult victory. I'll have to pay some, okay, let's get here today. Meeting. ”

When the four of them were just about to leave, the clan suddenly thought of the matter of Matsukura Castle, only to hear him speak again: "That's right. Ishikawa Goemon, you immediately send someone to Matsukura Castle, tell the Takayama clan about the situation here, and ask him to drop the new writing group scattered in various cities to Matsukura Castle as quickly as possible, and prepare to resist the attack of the Ema army and the monks of Kokubunji Temple, you send someone to tell him that I can't send more troops to help for the time being, Matsukura Castle can be defended, if it can't be done, give up. I don't blame him. ”

As for how to get out of the city, everything is arranged by Kotaro Winddemon, okay, let's all step down. ”

Now Wind Demon Kotaro has led his ninja army to surrender, so that's it. He already has enough strength to turn the tables, so it doesn't matter so much whether Matsukura Castle is taken by the enemy, even if he misses it temporarily, but after the Takeda family is completely driven out of Hida, not only can it be easily recaptured. Even the territory of the Guma family and Kokubunji will also belong to themselves, so now it's a chance to give the Guma family and Kokubunji a chance to experience the most crazy back.

With the help of Wind Demon Kotaro, the ninja who went to Matsukura Castle to pass the blockade of the ninja army smoothly, and he himself was not so lucky, and he failed to assassinate the Takayama clan, which meant that the mission failed, which made the big bear Ashide, who arranged the mission, couldn't help but be angry, and even scolded him mercilessly.

But scolding and scolding, but he can't tell the other party what to do, one is that this matter was ordered by himself privately, if it is spread out, the Lord of Yama County may definitely not spare himself, and the reason for the failure of the Wind Demon Kotaro is very sufficient, the Takayama family does not have only two upper ninjas, in addition to these two people, the Takayama clan is hidden by the side of a secretly protected Venerable Master and dozens of middle ninjas.

It's understandable that he didn't succeed, this Wind Demon Kotaro can come back alive, it's already his fate, so after a few scolding words, the evil anger in Daxiong Chaoxiu's heart has almost disappeared. …,

During this period, the wind demon Kotaro listened quietly, without any justification at all, in his opinion, there is no need now, since he entered the big tent, he has already regarded the big bear Chaoxiu as a corpse, although he can't do it yet, but he has absolute confidence, as long as the lord gives the order to counterattack, the big bear Chaoxiu will die under his own knife, there is no room for negotiation.

Since this is the case, he and a dead man still have a good voice, so he listened to this reprimand with a complete smile, anyway, there is a ninja towel to cover his face, but he doesn't have to worry about being discovered.

And the ninja who was sent to Matsukura Castle didn't dare to have any delay after leaving the city, and almost ran all the way to Matsukura Castle, so in less than a day, he met the head of the Takayama clan, who was the garrison of his family.

The elder of the Takayama clan was very excited when he saw that his brother had finally sent someone to come, which was enough to prove that not only was his brother Anran, but even Takayama Castle was still in his hands, and now there was no news that made him happier than this.

"Tell me how's going on my brother's side?" Before the ninja could breathe, he heard the Takayama clan chief ask.

"Back to Takayama Lord, the day before yesterday when the decisive battle with the Takeda army, because the lord found that the enemy's reinforcements were coming, he immediately withdrew into Takayama Castle as a last resort, and the casualties in the second battle reached more than 1,000 people, but the Takeda army did not take any advantage, and there were more than 1,000 casualties.

And the lord sent to the next to inform the lord, immediately transfer the troops in each city into Matsukura Castle, in preparation for the attack of the Eima family and the monks of Kokubunji Temple, the lord let the lord tell the lord that this time the lord can not send reinforcements to come, if the lord can hold on, he will defend, if nothing can be done, the second castle will be abandoned. ”

"I know the way, and I will repay my brother, and the clan chief is determined to live and die with Matsukura Castle." The clan chief still doesn't know that Kotaro has led the crowd to surrender, so he takes it for granted that he will retreat in the absence of the enemy, this is the brother's brotherhood, so he will say this, although the brother has spoken first, but he can't do this, the importance of Matsukura Castle is self-evident, once it is taken away by the enemy, then Takayama Castle will really become a lonely city, if so, the elder brother will not have a way to retreat, so unless he is killed, this Matsukura Castle must not be lost.

And that ninja is here to convey the mission, and now it looks like Takayama-sama wants to live and die with this Matsukura Castle, once he returns the lord like this, he has to be scolded, and it is not a big deal to be scolded himself, but if the lord wants to send someone out of the city and give orders to Takayama-sama, it will be difficult.

Thinking of this, I saw him vigilantly glance around and the roof seriously, as a ninja who protects the clan in secret, his combat power is not necessarily very strong, but he is alert enough, not to mention the middle ninja or the lower ninja, in such a small room, as long as the other party is not a master who is good at lurking like Ishikawa-sama, even an ordinary upper ninja can't escape his eyes.

After making sure that no one was eavesdropping in this room, he only heard him whisper: "Lord Takayama, more than a thousand ninjas in the Wind Demon who came to the aid of the Takeda Army have secretly expressed their allegiance to the lord in the early hours of this morning, acting as an internal response, and now the family has enough strength to counterattack, so this Matsukura Castle has become less important, even if it is temporarily taken away by the Eima family, after defeating the Takeda army, it can be recaptured, so the lord should do it according to the lord's words." ”

The head of the Takayama clan just saw that the ninja's gaze kept sweeping around the room, and he knew that he had something important to say, so he was ready, but when he heard it, he was still surprised, the enemy's reinforcements were surrendered, and it was still a ninja army, this news was indeed too shocking. …,

He silently calculated in his heart, if the Takeda army did not add these ninja troops, the number would only be more than 2,000 people, but the lord had more than 3,000 people under his command, and it was a combination of inside and outside, as long as he didn't leak the news, it would be easy to defeat the enemy, even if this information was obtained by the Takeda family, the family would only have to work hard at most, but the final victory would still be the family, so this Matsukura Castle is indeed not so important.

When he heard what the ninja said, he also had a bottom in his heart, the Takeda army was now dragged out of Takayama City, and he had no ability to send reinforcements to the northern front, so he would only face three hundred elite monks and peasant soldiers of the Jiangma family.

And as soon as today passes, the retainers who have been sent to gather troops everywhere will come, and by then they will have 900 banners, 100 elite guards, and hundreds of peasant soldiers, even if the number is not as good as the other party, but the combat power they exert is definitely much stronger than the enemy, not to mention defending the city, even if it is a field battle with the enemy, the head of the Takayama clan is confident enough to defeat the enemy. With the current situation, there is no need to withdraw at all, which is probably something that my brother didn't expect.

Not only that, once the Jiangma coalition army is defeated, then you can take this opportunity to take back the island city, and even the plateau city can be captured.

The head of the Takayama clan has begun to get excited, as the younger brother of the lord, he no longer takes credit so seriously, but if his plan can be successful, then his strength will be proven, and then he doesn't have to worry about others saying that he is on the top by connection, and this is what he really wants, and the Jiangma family will become a stepping stone to help him fulfill his wish.

Thinking of this, I only heard the head of the Gao Shan clan say: "Okay, I know the way, go back and tell my brother, and I will say that the head of the clan will take the order, and everything will be done according to my brother's order." ”

The ninja finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. "Yes, I will go back to Alpine City in the next place, report to the lord, and retire in the next place." With that, he stood up and walked out the door. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
