Chapter 59: Open the Door
"Lord, this is a good thing!" At this time, Sanada Masayuki suddenly said. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Originally, Katsuga Castle was not captured, and everyone was a little demoralized, but as soon as Sanada Masayuki spoke, all eyes immediately focused on him. Even some reckless men looked at him a little unkindly.
Even if everyone knows that Sanada Masayuki is a young man who is valued by the young lord Kuroda, but after all, the time in the Kuroda family is still short, and there are still many retainers who don't know his depth, plus at this time, he told everyone that it was a good thing to be defeated by the Xiangxi family, and it was strange that everyone in the Kuroda family who had just been repelled had no opinion on him.
Kuroda Vocational High School saw that the people below still had a lot of opinions about Sanada Masayuki, and he also knew that Sanada Masayuki was indeed a capable young man, after all, Kuroda Vocational High School did not miss people, and if he didn't say anything, his subordinates were estimated to be looking for trouble with Sanada Masayuki.
"In that case, does Sanada-sama have any good ideas? Tell me about it. Kuroda said.
"My lord, and my lords, it's actually very simple, the branch of the Xiangxi family can enter through the secret door at the back of Katsuga Castle, and we can do the same. As long as we can enter Katsuga Castle through its back door, the rest will be a breeze for you. Masayuki Sanada said.
"What do you mean......" Kuroda looked at Masayuki Sanada in surprise.
"Hey! My lord, and all of you, isn't the best thing for the concentric people of this family to do is to sneak attack and open the city gates? Since there is a secret gate, the family will attract the attention of the Xiangxi family with a large army here, and then send more than 1,000 soldiers as a special force to enter the city through the secret gate. As long as the Einsatzgruppen can defeat the soldiers of the Kosai family in the city, or can take the Honmaru, the family will be able to achieve the goal of occupying Katsuga Castle. Masayuki Sanada said.
"Hanzo (Hattori Hocho, Hanzo Genme), is Sanada-sama's statement feasible?" Kuroda asked.
"Lord, Sanada-sama's method is feasible, the location of the secret door, as well as its guards, we have all investigated clearly, although there are more than 20 people guarding the secret door, but it doesn't matter, but then I can personally lead people to do it." Hattori said.
"In that case, let's act according to Sanada-sama's words, and then we'll be sorry for you." Kuroda said.
"Hey!" The crowd answered with a loud voice.
At this time, in Katsuga Castle, Kasai Motozai was discussing with everyone in the Imperial Pavilion.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this time we were able to defeat the Kuroda family thanks to the two brothers." Kasai Motozai said with a smile.
The head of the new family, Xinju Shijiao, arched his hand at Xiangxi Yuanzai, "Lord Xiangxi is polite, including Lord Yubed, we are the descendants of the Xiangxi family, and we have the obligation to protect the Xiangxi family from being eroded." ”
"What Lord Xinju said is not wrong, we are just to protect the Xiangxi family, and all this is what we should do." Uematsu Shihisa, the head of the Uematsu family, said.
Shinju Shijiao and Uematsu Shihisa said it nicely, but they were not afraid that after the Kuroda family seized the Sanuki country, they would no longer have their status, so they came to support the Kasai family. This time, in addition to Xinju Zijiao and Uematsu Shihisa, there were also Uematsu Shihisa's brothers, Uematsu Sumimasa, Uematsu Xiangyu, and Uematsu Shihisa's sister-in-law, Uematsu Shigan.
"Either way, thank you this time." Kasai Motozai said.
"By the way, Lord Kosai, when we came, we entered the city through a secret gate at the back of the city. This secret door won't be discovered by the Kuroda family! Uematsu asked.
"Probably not, the secret door is extremely hidden, and the Kuroda family shouldn't be able to find it. Even if the secret door is discovered by the Kuroda family, it doesn't matter, the family has sent more than 20 elite soldiers at the secret door, and the secret door will definitely not be lost in a short period of time. Kasai Motozai said with a smile.
"If that's the case, I'll be relieved." Uematsu said.
In the middle of the night, Katsuga Castle seemed to have fallen into silence, because the Kuroda family's army was in the city, so the people in Katsuga Castle did not dare to be slack. The soldiers above the city gate were all full of energy, staring in the direction of the Kuroda family's army. As long as there is not much movement from the Kuroda family, they will not react much.
However, Katsuga Castle did not notice that 1,600 people had disappeared into the night from the rear of the Kuroda family's camp.
At the back of Katsuga Castle, a very inconspicuous place is the secret gate of the castle. Just like the situation obtained by Hattori Baochang, there are twenty elite soldiers of the Kosai family guarding here.
"I heard that if it weren't for the two adults of Shinju Shikyo and Uematsu Shihisa to bring troops this time, our Katsuga Castle would have been captured." An ashigaru said.
"That's true! I heard that the Kuroda family has a very powerful weapon, and more than 100 people died before the family fought, which is really terrifying. ”
"Yes! One of my fellow villagers is said to have died in such a mysterious way. ”
At this moment, a black shadow suddenly appeared, and after several ninja darts were thrown, they were ready to hit the throats of several Xiangxi family soldiers. This person did not stop, and directly pulled out his ninja knife and killed the soldiers of the Xiangxi family.
This person is Kuroda Vocational Takashi's personal ninja, Hattori Baochang, one of the three Iga ninjas. This time, he personally led people to take action, and there were also four middle ninjas of Fukuchi Iyo, Tomita Katsunaga, Zhezhi Manda, and Zhezhi Nakano, as well as fifteen lower ninjas.
The concentric members of the Kuroda family almost after Hattori's shot, each picked a target and quickly shot at the same time. Only Ashigaru, who reacted quickly, dropped his spear and ran desperately towards the city.
Hattori Security Chief personally led the team out on a mission, and this kind of thing would not be allowed to happen. Seeing that this soldier was about to escape, Hattori Baocho's eyes closed slightly, and a ninja dart shot straight out, hitting the soldier's neck.
"Open the door, let the soldiers of this family enter the city." Hattori said.
Soon, 1,600 soldiers of the Kuroda family entered Katsuga Castle together under the leadership of Date Masahiro, Wakaya Sumitsu, Aoki Kazuki, Shimizu Munechi, Nakamura Clan, Nakamura Yorimune, Miyamoto Takeno, and others.
"My lord, this is a good opportunity for us!" Noyama Chaoyi whispered.
"Yes! Let's take the Honmaru first! Nobuhiro Nikaido said.
"That's right, it's true! Then go to Honmaru! Date Mashiro agreed with the two of them.
Date Masahiro immediately took a few of his retainers, as well as the two hundred soldiers he led, and immediately went to Honmaru quickly. (To be continued.) )
