Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

When people talk about the three-day dog under the command of Date Masahiro, the dragon of Bigo, the first thing they will mention is the good guard Kiyokawa Hengxiu, but few people will mention the latter two, Matsushima Yajiro Yotsukatsu and Iwase Kogoro Yotsutada, but their master Date Masahiro knows the characteristics of the three of them, and carefully fights Kiyokawa, the strange Matsushima, and the brave Iwase. Speaking of Zhengheng, he is also a world-famous figure for strangeness, some people do not call him the pride of the dragon, but are willing to use the fox in the preparation to ironize it, Matsushima Hengsheng followed all the way, and this knockdown is also quite Zhengheng three-point appearance.

Matsushima Hengsheng had just returned from Bei China, and knew that now Bei China was three times a day, and it was inconvenient to be disturbed, so he went out overnight and sneaked all the way, and the castle along the way was not at all able to react. Even if he knew it, it was inconvenient to say much when he saw the flag of the Date family, and even Matsuda Motoki's spies didn't have time to report it to Matsuda Motohui, who was outside the war, giving Matsushima Heng a chance to win by surprise. On the evening of November 10, the 22nd year of astronomy, there was a knock on the gate of Guanshan City.

Crown Mountain Castle instead of Takamatsu Castle, Matsushima Hengkatsu knew that once Takamatsu Castle was lively, the defenders of Ninjayama Castle would know that Date reinforcements were coming, and they would definitely strengthen the defense of Ninjayama Castle, which would cast a shadow on his sub-command. Ninja Mountain City is already easy to defend and difficult to attack, once the defense is strengthened, it is bound to invest more troops, and the casualties are too heavy, he will never have the day, so he will have to sit and watch Qinghe Hengxiu mix up and start to rise. He and Kiyokawa Hengxiu and Iwase Hengzhong said that they were Date three-day dogs, and they were also in competition internally.

Guanshan City is the castle guarded by Ge Lang Hengxin, and the news has been received a few days ago, and the military rations have been prepared early, and one hundred and fifty yellow preparations in the city are also in the hands of Ge Lang Hachiro Guard Hengyou, who is the younger brother of Ge Long Hengxin. Speaking of which, he is quite trusted by Zhengheng, and is even more favored than the other gloomy brothers.

Matsushima Hengsheng is known for his strange and strange things, of course, he will not do reckless things, and he may have many shortcomings in his character, but in strategy. Strange people do not know the importance of knowing soldiers than those who are cautious in battle, and of course they prefer to win by surprise in tactics and hit with one blow.

After entering Guanshan Castle, Matsushima Hengsheng immediately recruited his colleagues to arrange a plan for how to attack Ninjayama Castle at night. If you are cautious and warlike, you will definitely not do such a thing as a night attack when you first arrive, and you will not do such a reckless thing as letting a tired army attack on Ninjayama Castle after a long journey. But Matsushima Hengsheng dared.

Hearing that it was going to attack Ninjayama City at night, the white general who came with him or a few people hesitated a little, but after Matsushima Hengsheng dialed a little, "Isn't it just to be caught off guard when everyone works hard and sneaks here?" Tomorrow, as long as you investigate a little, Ninjayama Castle will know that reinforcements are coming, even if you are a fool. They all no longer hesitated, and nodded again and again. Full of murderous aura.

Songdao Hengsheng unfolded a map, on which was clearly drawn a topographical map of the vicinity of more than 20 miles, which was given to him by Zhengheng before leaving. Zhengheng came from Ge Long Hengxin, who had hardly been the city lord of Guanshan City for a few days, but he inspected the terrain of more than 20 miles nearby and copied this map, which also made Zheng Heng Gao take a look at Ge Long Hengxin. Only then did I have the idea of reusing him.

Matsushima Hengsheng pointed to the location of Ninja Mountain Castle and said: "Everyone, please see, this is Ninja Mountain City, the distance from Guanshan City, Tiger Cang City, and Jinchuan City is not much different, it is really a vital castle, as long as it is captured, Jinchuan City is just around the corner." ”

For the first time, Matsushima Hengsheng can become the commander of the first army as he wants, although he can command a team of only 500 people, but think about the tragic situation of three or two kittens when he first followed Date Zhengheng, and now Date Zhengheng has become a trendsetter of the times step by step. Once you easily capture Ninjayama Castle, you will be able to shake Bizen Kingdom. Being able to make the world-famous Nizi Qing timid, makes him excited just thinking about it.

"Just give me a chance, and I'm going to impress the world."

Matsushima Hengsheng suddenly asked Kakura Hengzhong, "Brother Hachiro Guard, tell you in detail about the situation in Ninjayama Castle?" "Matsushima Hengsheng has known the Kazulong Hengzhong brothers for a long time, and he is just like Zhengheng. He prefers to befriend this bold and careful brother, at least the other party will not calculate you.

Ge Long Hengzhong has a rough appearance and a delicate heart, and he sits in Guanshan City for his brother, of course, he does not rely only on brute strength, although he is not as good as his brother who knows the situation of the surrounding cities in detail, but he still knows a little about the Matsuda Castle that he focuses on, and nodded and said: "Ninjayama Castle was built by Iga Kutaka a year ago, the reason was to prevent our invasion, and then the construction was stopped for some reason, but the main pill and the second pill were built, and the trench was not dug even a few days ago. So he asked his brother Yuanji to lead five hundred to garrison the city. ”

Kakuro Hengzhong didn't know why Ninjayama Castle was only half built and stopped, but Matsushima Hengkatsu knew that in order to show his heart, Iga Hisakashi didn't dare to send an envoy to surrender to the Date clan in a low voice, while brazenly repairing the fortress wall, isn't this delaying time?

Of course, Ge Lang Hengzhong will not say it, this kind of thing can only be understood and unspeakable, nodded and said: "A few days ago, Ninjayama City changed hands, Matsuda Yuanhui was obviously worried about the arrival of Date reinforcements, divided the army of five hundred, and let his younger brother garrison, for several days, Guanshan City and Forging Mountain City are all in a posture of perseverance, and the army will inevitably be slack." There is only one chance in this fight, and if it is missed, it will turn into a protracted cage battle. We are waiting for a great victory over the power of the Maori old thief, like a thunderbolt striking a rotten wood, why not break the little ninja mountain city? ”

The generals should be in unison.

Matsushima Hengsheng looked at Ge Long Hengzhong and asked, "How much gunpowder is there in the city?" ”

Ge Long Hengzhong said slightly proudly: "The gunpowder in the city is enough, and with the strategy of His Royal Highness, the saltpeter accumulation is quite sufficient, well, it is enough to use one hundred and fifty iron cannons and thirty." ”

Matsushima Hengsheng snorted, his eyes were full of coldness, and said: "Leave the five gunpowder in the army, and the rest of the gunpowder will be gathered and put into a wooden barrel, I will make Nizi Harujiu pee his pants in fright, let them take a good look at the power of our Date samurai, don't underestimate us." ”

Ge Long Hengzhong looked up, full of excitement, and responded: "Understood! The generals clenched their fists one after another, although most of them didn't quite understand what strategy Matsushima Hengsheng had come up with, but they could hear the bold words that would make Niko Haruhisa pee his pants in fright, and waved them one after another.

The military strategy was agreed, and the whole army of Matsushima Hengsheng and Kakuro Hengzhong was dispatched to rush to Ninjayama Castle before midnight.

The winter moon is bleak, walking between the canyons, there is no light around, more than 6,500 people are only illuminated by more than ten torches, and the ropes are connected to the front and back so as not to make people lose their way.

As the team moved forward, the darkness in front of them was constantly dispelled by the torch, but behind them was hidden by the darkness that surged around them. The sound of footsteps echoed monotonously in the valley, like a shadow. Just like the whole world, there is only one group of them left, if it weren't for the elite of the four-color equipment, I am afraid that they would be scared to death if they were scared first. The courage of the soldiers, the advantage of many samurai in the Date army is reflected, and there is a junior samurai every ten meters to strengthen the courage.

Kanayama Castle is only seventy or eighty towns away from Ninjayama Castle, according to the current unit is about eight kilometers, although it is all canyon paths, but in ancient times it was one of the main roads leading to Bigo Province in Bizen Province, and the road had been repaired in the Kamakura period, and the Muromachi Shogunate did not put it down, and it was abandoned a lot after the Warring States Troubled Times, and it was not lost if you walked along the cliff, but the march was really not fast, and it was still a night road, which was even slower and amazing. In order not to let the enemy know, the whole army of nearly 650 people only moved with a dozen torches.

He said that he had to arrive before midnight, but it was not until midnight that he saw the castle with its lights dimly lit. That was the target of their trip, Ninjayama Castle, and more than a dozen torches outlined the upper edge of Ninjayama Castle from the darkness. Matsushima Hengsheng raised his head and scolded bitterly: "Bastard thing, I didn't even know how to add torches, which caused us to almost get lost." "As I said earlier, Guanshan City is not far from Ninja Mountain City, as long as you turn a big bend to be able to look directly at Ninja Mountain City, I originally thought that the garrison of Ninja Mountain City was lax, but I didn't expect it to be so lax, at least there was a goal to move forward, I didn't expect to wait until the first three or four miles to see clearly, the front took a lot of unjust roads, and several soldiers were injured before fighting.

Matsushima Hengsheng rubbed his hands and scolded in a low voice: "It's really cold!" Then he turned around and ordered: "Don't let everyone stop, give me exercise, and rub your hands, don't let your body get cold, wait a while and wait for the hot soup and hot tea in the city!" ”

He knew that the winter nights were unusually cold, and although he had prepared a lot of measures to keep warm, he was afraid that he would hurt his vitality if he stopped after a long run. After rubbing his hands for a while, Matsushima Hengshengjue still didn't feel warm, and said to a general next to him: "Are the commandos ready?" ”

Ashigaru replied: "I've been preparing for a long time!" ”

Matsushima Hengsheng waved his hand and ordered: "Very good, Ge Lang Hengzhong, here is your command, as soon as the time comes, you will attack, please!" As he spoke, he couldn't react and led more than 30 commandos to go up to Ninjayama Castle in the dark, and everyone had a barrel of gunpowder on their backs.

Matsuda Motoyoshi was in a bad mood, drinking alone at night, thinking about his thoughts, and fell asleep very late. The internal strife outside the castle of Torakura, outsiders don't know, but as the younger brother of Matsuda Motoki, he doesn't know that Ugaki and Uemon left the battle, and Omori Moritada ran away.

Some cronies and retainers secretly advised him to seize the opportunity and unite with the dissatisfied retainers to sit on the throne of the head of the Matsuda clan. He was moved, but he did not return a single letter that he had sent out. Although the retainers of the Matsuda clan are dissatisfied with Matsuda Motoki, they are also full of contempt for Matsuda Motoyoshi, otherwise how could they endure the foolish Matsuda Motoki to become the head of the family, in the eyes of the retainers, the younger brother is not as good as the elder brother.

The letter did not come back, and Matsuda Motoyoshi was timid again, afraid that his brother Matsuda Motoki would suddenly use this to poison him, not only killing the retainer who had admonished him, but also drinking all day long. The retainer who was beheaded was quite popular, and he was innocently beheaded, and the defenders were already thankful that they were not in an uproar, and they had to be heavily guarded, so go on a dream.

Matsuda Motoyoshi heard an earth-shattering roar in a daze, and Ninjayama Castle seemed to be collapsing.
