Kodera Vocational High School remembers that Inoue Nomasa's son, Inoue Kuro, one of the three elders of the Kuroda family in history, also belongs to the category of wise generals, and it seems that he has inherited his father's excellent genes!

After a short period of preparation, the army began to attack Sakamoto Castle, the ultimate target of this joint battle, not Sakamoto Castle in Omi Province, but Sakamoto Castle in Takino Akamatsu Prefecture. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info is located in the middle of the Obogawa River and Ichikawa, and once this place is breached, Takino Castle will be completely exposed to the Kuroda family's army.

In order to prevent the attack of the Kuroda family, Akamatsu Masahide arranged 200 defenders in Sakamoto Castle before the battle, and the defenders in the city asked the defenders to strengthen their night patrols to check whether there were strangers in various parts of the city, which to a certain extent eliminated the possibility of ninja tactics. If the general of Taniguchi Castle also has the same request, then the Kuroda family is estimated to still be biting hedgehogs under Taniguchi Castle now!

Because it was a flat castle, the shadow of Sakamoto Castle could be seen from a distance, and the Kuroda army temporarily rested in the woods one mile away from the castle.

"The lord and the young lord have already confirmed that there are indeed two hundred defenders in the city, and more than one hundred people and warriors' families. At the request of the defenders, the city is extremely well defended, and there are people patrolling the city walls at all times, and the investigation of strangers is extremely strict, and it is impossible to use ninja tactics to break the city. "Hattori came to Kuroda's side to report the information he had sought.

"Can't you use ninja tactics? It looks like we've got an opponent, and the defender seems to be a usable talent! Koji said with a smile.

Sakamoto Castle, Iho-gun, Harima Province, the residence of the former Akamatsu family leader Akamatsu Mitsusuke, was abandoned in the Cargill Rebellion, and is now the domain of Akamatsu Masahide.

Takenori Oue, the commander of the castle, was resting at the palace in the castle of Sakamoto Castle at this time. He was only the second son of a small wealthy family in Harima Province, and he did not show any outstanding talent when he was young, and his brother was ten years older than him, so he had no possibility of becoming an heir at all, and the clan was only fifty koku, which had nothing to do with him at all.

When he was fourteen years old, because of the death of his father, he was driven out of the territory by his brother, who had inherited the family, and took nothing with him except his underwear and his own weapons and equipment. In order to survive, he doesn't know anything except family martial arts, so he can only be forced to become a ronin, wandering around, looking for an opportunity to become a leader.

When he wandered to Takino Castle, he happened to meet Akamatsu Masahide recruiting samurai, and Takeshi Ogami applied with the mentality of giving it a try, he relied on his hard martial arts, stood out from dozens of ronins, and was successfully recruited by the Takino Akamatsu family as an ordinary samurai, because of his age, he could only become the lowest samurai, and his Yulu could only barely support himself, and he couldn't buy extra things, and it was impossible to even recruit a servant.

Fortunately, after he just came to Takino Akamatsu's house, he immediately ushered in the battle of Kayama, in the joint battle, Takenori Ogami showed bravery, and in the first battle with Akamatsu Yoshisuke, whether it was good luck or indeed strong martial arts, he beheaded eight people in this battle, which attracted the attention of Kuwabara Saemon, and recommended him to Akamatsu Masahide.

Akamatsu Masahide had just won a big victory at that time, and he was very happy to summon him, because of the sponsorship of Kuwabara Saemon, he immediately accepted Ogami Takenori as his direct banner samurai, and greatly increased Ogami Takenori's salary.

However, a few days after the battle of Kayama, the Kuroda family attacked the skills of the Takino Akamatsu family, and then in Koguchi Castle, Akamatsu Masahide faced a series of defeats of the Kuroda family, which made Akamatsu Masahide angry, and left Takenori Ogami, a retainer who had just been included, behind.

Although Akamatsu Masahide forgot about him, Takenori Ogami himself was still very satisfied with the status quo at that time, and it was better to become a flag warrior than to wander outside! And he has always felt that he is lucky, as soon as he became a ronin, he met Takino Castle to recruit samurai, and he became one of the lower-level samurai when he reported his name, and he became a direct banner when he was fighting, all of which he didn't dare to imagine when he was just kicked out of his home.

So although he has always been idle, as a guard or something like that, he has never been reused, he still does his duty in Takino Castle conscientiously, and has never complained about anything. Amateur is Lian Lianwu, and there is no other hobby.

This time the troops were sent to attack Murozu Castle, and when the rear needed personnel to stay, when Akamatsu Masahide was transferring troops, he remembered that among the retainers, there was such a person as Takeshi Oue, and it seemed that the martial arts were passable, but it had not been reused, although the war was not a joke, and it had not been reused before, but in the case of a lack of talent, simply leave him to defend the city! Akamatsu Masahide felt that Sakamoto Castle was already the core area of his territory, so even if Takeshi Ogami was not capable, it should be no problem to send him to defend such a city. As for whether he is really attacked and can defend it, it depends on his luck.

In this way, Takeshi Ogami, who has been forgotten, became the castle generation of Sakamoto Castle in a daze.

The first thing Takenori Ogami did was to inspect Sakamoto Castle, learn about the fortifications in the castle, understand the topography of the castle, and think about how he would need to defend himself once he was attacked by the Kuroda family.

Takenori Ogami, like most of the veterans of the Akamatsu family, participated in the joint battle of Koguchi Castle, and he still remembers the whole battle process, in fact, most of the soldiers of the Akamatsu family still remember the situation of the joint battle at that time, and even often take it out to talk about it, lamenting the strength of the Kuroda family's ninja tactics, lamenting the Kuroda family's new castle building method, and lamenting the treacherous and cunning of the Kuroda family. But if you really ask these people to fight against the Kuroda family again, it is estimated that it will still repeat the same situation as the battle of Koguchi Castle back then.

But he Takeshi Ogami is a careful person, and he not only remembers the situation back then, but he has not forgotten all the strength that the Kuroda family showed at that time. This time, knowing that he was going to defend Sakamoto Castle, the first thing that came to his mind was the Kuroda family's ninja warfare.

Through the previous joint battle, he knew that the ninjas of the Kuroda family were strong, and even if the Akamatsu family hired a few more ninjas, they were no match for the Kuroda family in terms of quality and quantity. In this flat castle in his hands, how to defend the ninja tactics?

Takenori Ogami is not a ninja, although he has seen the abilities of ninjas and seen ninja tactics, but he doesn't know what ninja tactics are, after all, this is not his specialty. Fortunately, the Takino Akamatsu family still hired ninjas, although the six were all lower ninjas, the ninjas who were killed by Takuzhi Sannojo. He went to visit these ninjas and asked them about the mystery of ninja warfare, and the lower ninjas were very excited to see the high samurai lord who would ask themselves questions with great respect.

How ninjas lurk, how ninjas enter the city and open doors, how they disguise themselves to spread false news, how they carry out assassinations, as long as they know, they know everything. Endless words, he told all the ninja knowledge he had mastered to Takenori Ogami.

Takenori Ogami also communicated with them,A general understanding of ninja warfare,So after he entered Sakamoto Castle,,The entire city was rectified.,The city can only enter and not go out for the time being.,All foreign populations are strictly investigated.,Curfew at night.,The gate is also closed during the day.,All the terrain that ninjas may use has been treated.,The height should be increased.,The patrol should be set up to stand guard patrol personnel.。

Moreover, especially at night, more personnel should be arranged on the city wall to stand guard, more torches should be arranged, and no shadow areas should be left as much as possible, so that the Kuroda ninja would have an opportunity.

When Takenori Ogami was rectifying Sakamoto Castle, there was really a ninja in the Kuroda family who was lurking in Sakamoto Castle. Fortunately, this is a middle ninja of the Hattori family, and his ability is relatively high, so he discovered the changes in Sakamoto Castle in advance, escaped from Sakamoto Castle before the investigation was carried out, and reported the news to the Hattori security chief.

Hattori and Fujibayashi Hoho attached great importance to this information, and immediately the two of them came to Sakamoto Castle together, personally checked Sakamoto Castle, and found that although there was still a way to infiltrate the city, it was basically impossible to launch a ninja war to open the castle.
