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

In the southern part of Numakuma Prefecture in Bingo Province, near the port of Tokuura, there is a village called Kumano Valley, although it is called a village, but it is scattered with a few farmhouses, and the rest is either farmland or barren land, and the rice has already been harvested in late autumn.

At the end of the Kumano Valley is the Ichijo Yamajo of the leader Watanabe Kane, known as Yamadaso, and is one of the few Bigo people who are loyal to the Mori family who still stay on the key mountain of the Kamibe Plains.

Early in the morning, the figures of two samurai on horseback suddenly appeared in the Kumano Valley shrouded in morning mist, they were all dressed in samurai attire, followed by a team of about three or four hundred people behind them, but there was no sound, one of the samurai who was obviously active called Fukaya Shibei, and whispered to Sugihara Yorishige, who was marching side by side with him: "Yorishigeden, Takasu Gong has done his duty, as long as you take a mountain castle, you will have the strength to threaten the Kobayakawa army in Tokuura Port, and you can be regarded as having completed your mission." "In the belly of the horse of the Ten Guards of the deep valley, there was a large sword more than four feet long, and it made a slight impact sound with a rhythmic rhythm as the horse jolted. Fukaya Jubei was a small man who was only about five feet tall, and despite wearing civilian clothes, it was clear that his arms were very thick and strong, and this man could play with a large sword that was more than four feet tall like a bamboo pole.

Sugihara Yorishige's face was gloomy and silent, ignoring the words of the Ten Guards of the Fukaya, just staring at the Ichicheng Mountain Castle in the distance for a long time, he didn't understand what Takasu Motozhong meant, but after leaving the city, he understood, but he had no other way.

The Ten Guards of the Deep Valley came to assist him. It's better to spy on him. Takasu Mototada was afraid that he would take three or four hundred people from Date House and never return. The defeat of Takasu Yuanzhong's chickens and eggs outweighed the losses, so he sent his henchmen to assist the Fukaya Ten Guards. In the turbulent Warring States Period, the gate valve system collapsed, and various tasks of various classes began to emerge, and it became possible to elect ministers and choose lords.

Fukaya Shibei paused slightly. He couldn't help but look at Sugihara Yorishige, and couldn't help but wonder if this guy would change his mind when he arrived at the gate of Ichijoyama Castle, and his eyes were not good, and the three or four hundred soldiers brought out from Yinshan Castle said that Takasu Motozhong supported Sugihara Yorishige, and he understood that as long as he gave an order, he would immediately turn the gun and aim it directly at Sugihara Yorishige, and his tone gradually became unkind, and said: "Watanabe Kanelao'er led most of the soldiers and horses to the key mountain in order to sell in front of the Maori Yuan Gong, At present, there are only thirty or forty people guarding the city in the mountain city, and as long as they are ready to go down the city, they can go down the city. ”

Sugihara Yorishige's face was dark, and of course he understood what Fukaya Jubei meant. seems to care about it, but in fact, let him take the lead and set up this flag, once he captures a mountain city. Whether he wants it or not, he will be branded as a rebel, and the idea of using Silver Mountain City as the foundation and letting Takasu Yuanzhong take the lead is a bit too naïve and naïve.

Sugihara Yorishige didn't speak, he drew his spear fiercely, pointed at the mountain castle and shouted: "Chong, ten people who go to the city first are Sugihara's retainers, and they will be rewarded with ten yuan!" He took the lead in rushing out, following the three or four hundred people behind him to look at each other, and glanced at the ten guards of the deep valley who were still staying in place, but there were hundreds of foot soldiers who immediately roared before the battle, each holding a weapon, with Sugihara Yorishige as the central arrow, and rushed towards the mountain castle in the form of a long snake formation.

The temptation to become a samurai is too strong, so strong that they ignore Fukaya Jubei's orders, in the final analysis, they are all soldiers and horses that Takasu Mototada gave to Sugihara Yorishige, and the person who should be loyal should be Sugihara Yorishige, not Fukaya Jubei, so they don't have the slightest concern or feeling of losing points, but they run more and more firmly.

The Ten Guards of the Deep Valley tightened their faces, and then the corners of their mouths curled slightly, and they laughed mockingly: "Clever! With a wave of his hand, more than 100 people who had already been unable to bear it immediately rushed out, and they could only eat ashes behind the people in front.

Ichijo Yamajo has already been in chaos, the army is in turmoil, surrender in troubled times is a very common thing, there is no shame or no shame problem, Watanabe Kane's eldest son Watanabe Tsune soon climbed down the back mountain under the protection of several samurai who stayed behind, and the others surrendered Kaicheng.

At the same time as the fall of Ichijo Yamajo, a long procession was quietly crouching under the low hill next to the river in three rows near the Takeda River, a tributary of the Takaya River under Ryunoyama Castle on the outskirts of the Vital Mountain. Unlike the two or three kittens in the mountain castle, there were 500 troops led by Kagawa Kokei, a Maori retainer, stationed in the Ryuo Mountain Castle.

Kagawa was originally the elder of the important ministers of the Takeda family in Aki, and he was the last remnant of Takeda to resist the Mori Yuan, both civil and military, and after the destruction of the Takeda family, he became a retainer of the Mori Yuan by showing favor to the Mori Yuan, and the Mori Yuan was also quite trusting, not only forgiving him of his sins, but also handing over the eight branches of the castle to him, and the relationship with Kumagai Nobunao was quite close, and his sister-in-law Kagawa Hirokei married the daughter of Kumagai Nobunao. Since the disappearance of Mori Takamoto, together with Kumagai Nobunao, he has become a powerful minister who supports Yoshikawa Motoharu to return to the Mori family to inherit the family business.

Kagawa Kokei was originally stationed on the key mountain with Mori Moto, but since Yoshikawa Motoharu was defeated in successive battles, Kumagai Nobunao and Kagawa Kokei lost a little bit, so they were ordered to come to guard the pass, one to guard the Yuno Pavilion, and the other to guard the Dragon King Mountain Castle across the river, echoing each other from afar and supporting each other.

The team that came to attack was the elite yellow flag team of the Date family, and the whole 200 people were silent, and the leader was Kakuro Hengxiu, that is, the former Kakuto Shichiro Left Guard, since the Date family unified China, there was a large group of Samurai retainers of the Date family who changed their names, and Kakuro Hengxiu was one of them.

He was now half-crouching and half-kneeling in the weeds, holding the straight blade of the barley hidden in one hand and resting the other on the knee of his raised right leg, his eyes drooping, his gaze calm and calm, quietly and patiently waiting for the order to advance. The weed was only knee-high, and he had to bend down his tall body to barely hide himself. Maintaining this awkward position made him feel uncomfortable, and after a little time, his neck became sore and stiff. He didn't dare to move his body, so he could only turn his neck bone slightly. He immediately heard a subtle clicking sound as the joints rubbed.

Ge Long Hengxiu's eyes widened suddenly, and his attention was immediately attracted by a roar, and he understood that it was the Date family at the other end of the Chajiu Mountain Castle that had made a feint. Since the Date Army and the Maori Army confronted each other in the Takayagawa Gorge, the Date Army received mobilized reinforcements and deliberately put pressure on the Maori Army through the Guò Takayagawa Gorge, this is a tentative attack by Date Mashiro, it is best to get a fulcrum on the other side of the Takayagawa Gorge, and if it is not obtained, it can also make the increasingly lax Date and Maori armies feel that they are still at war.

The guards in Chausuyama Castle were not Nobunao Kumagai of Yunokan and Kagawa of Ryuoyama Castle, and as soon as they heard the roar of iron cannons, they immediately sent their cronies to Yunokan and Ryuo Castle for help, as if they were in danger of breaking the castle at any time.

On the key mountain, Yoshikawa Motoharu, who had nothing to do, stood in a clearing, holding a rattan bow and aiming at the target made of straw more than 20 steps away.

After a round of shooting, in the arrows, Yoshikawa Motoharu's face should have been happy, but it was rainy. He lowered his bow-holding hands and gasped for a few breaths. The little waiter standing on the side hurriedly ran over, took a sweat towel and trembled to wipe the sweat stains on Yoshikawa Motoharu's forehead. It's really not that Yoshikawa Motoharu is scary, and there are already two unhappy little waiters who have died under Yoshikawa Motoharu's knife.

Suddenly, a roar came from farther and closer, Yoshikawa Motoharu clenched the rattan bow in his hand, and was so frightened that the little attendant knelt on the ground and kowtowed and shouted for mercy, Yoshikawa Motoharu didn't care about the rudeness of the little waiter and hurriedly walked towards the main formation. The Maori family didn't bring iron cannons, and the one who could shoot iron cannons should obviously be the Date family, and now the Date family shoots iron cannons, which are still born under the nose of the vital mountain, and it is obvious that the Date army is going to attack, so there is no need to stay here so idlely.

How is Yoshikawa Motoharu not excited, since he has suffered defeats, his position in the hearts of Maori Yuan and the neutral retainers is much worse than Kobayakawa Takakei, who has restrained most of the Date army, so depressed, and was forced to leave the riding team by Maori Yuan, making him the most idle person in the Maori army, and now that the war is approaching, as the second son of Maori Moto, he must be the first to take the lead.

The pale-faced Mori Moto, who heard the sound of iron cannons, and Yoshikawa Motoharu also realized that the Date army, which had not moved for a long time, had finally launched an offensive, and immediately called an emergency meeting of his subordinates.

The sound of iron cannons became more and more urgent, and under the mobilization of Date Masahiro, the Maori army finally moved, gathering towards Chausu Mountain Castle, Kagawa Scenery also led three hundred people to rush to the direction of Chausu Mountain Castle, Kagawa Scenery who had just walked out of Ryuo Mountain Castle was not clear, and when he was still hesitant about the crisis of Chausu Mountain Castle, Kakuro Hengxiu launched an attack on them.

Rather than attacking Longwang Mountain City, which is difficult for 200 defenders to conquer at once, it is better to wipe out all the unprepared reinforcements and horses, and then whether the victorious army will attack or withdraw is all in their own control. (To be continued......)

ps: Hey, there have been too many things in the past month, and I haven't been able to spare time, and then I couldn't connect it even more procrastinatingly, so I had to drag it out to a new chapter.
