Hearing this, Noyama Yoshichao calmed down and replied: "Your Highness, we are only less than fifty people in the full battle, how can we deal with three castles, once the time is delayed, the old thief of the new Sadatsune will definitely bring troops to help, and it will be difficult for us to resist at that time." (To read the latest chapters of this book, please visit the Wรจn Novel Network biquge.info)"
Date Mashiro replied with a smile, "How do you think Nakayama Fan Shi will respond when he learns that a team of only forty or so people is approaching his territory and has the heart to seize the land near Koroong City?" โ
Noyama Masashi slapped his thigh and replied, "He will definitely come out with his whole army to fight us to the death, and annihilate us with several times the strength of our troops, so as to take the opportunity to capture the castle of the cage." โ
Date Zhengheng lifted the black oil lamp in his hand and shook it slightly, and said, "When the time comes, we will still rely on its help." The three of them discussed together, and then began the intense big training.
Ten days passed in a hurry, and the short period of peace was finally over, during this time, no one dared to stimulate the anger of the remnants of the Date clan, and no one dared to provoke and seize the cage city, Zhuang Weizi and Shinjian Sadajing The final ownership of the cage city is still a mystery.
The one on the back of the cage castle finally divided the result, the two small castles were divided into two, the father became the lord of the castle of Kamiyahara, and the son became the lord of the castle of the lower palace, and the territory was opened four or six, the former was four, and the latter was six.
The news of Zhongshan City has also been discovered, the Zhongshan clan has just obtained a batch of weapons and grain a few days ago, and has begun to recruit ronins and train peasant soldiers.
The first strike is strong, and the second strike suffers.
As the order to assemble sounded, Date Masaki, who had almost recovered and weighed two pounds, finally appeared in front of the people, the samurai stood in front, and Ashigaru stood in the back with a spear in his hand, and it was a bit of an elite appearance.
Date Masahiro stood at the front of the team angrily, shouting at the top of his voice, "Everyone! Zhongshan Fan Shi colluded with Pingchuan Jiuqin to torture and kill our relatives and burn our homes, and shamelessly wanted to seize our land, and asked us to become his slaves and send us to Zhongshan Copper Mine for mining, this is a humiliation to us, what do you say? โ
"Kill them! Rob them and go! Nikaido Sajiro shouted at the back of the line, causing the other people to roar with him, they are all family members of samurai retainers, not local grass mustard farmers, all have relatives who died in the last Koro Castle, this matter has been bullied to the head, even if it is useless to hide in Meichuan Temple, naturally you can't be soft.
Although some people can't help but worry about this and that, they don't have the idea of quitting and running away or informing.
Date Zhengheng was quite satisfied with the current morale of these people, but he also knew that they had many concerns in their hearts, and added a fire in their hearts to make them rush forward to work for him without hesitation, and shouted loudly: "Everyone also knows that Zhuang Bei Zhongshou has promised to marry the princess to marry me, your family master, he is quite optimistic about me, this time it is his order to send troops, and he will send reinforcements to support us, what else is there to worry about." Everyone picked up the guys, brought two days of rice balls, and after the war, each retainer was rewarded with land according to merit, and every ashigaru officially became a samurai of my Date family, became a samurai master, a noble samurai master, and disbanded! โ
"Yes, Your Highness!" After a group of people listened to Date Masahiro's order, they were most excited in their hearts, and the little worry in their hearts disappeared, and the important Matsuyama Castle sent troops to rescue, and the small Nakayama Castle was not yet captured, and it was able to get the reward of being crowned and ashigaru becoming a samurai, who is not happy, the samurai's family and himself becoming a samurai are worlds apart, and even their lives can be dispensed with for the sake of the samurai's status.
So everyone immediately said yes loudly, and then they dispersed with a hula and went about their work.
After Noyama Masahiro and Nikaido Nobuhiro arranged the logistics, they came to Date Masahiro's side and asked in a low voice: "This time I sent an envoy to Matsuyama Castle, it seems that Matsuyama Castle did not ask us to attack Zhongshan Castle, whether there were any reinforcements, why I don't know." โ
Date Masahiro glanced left and right, lowered his voice and said, "I lied to them." โ
Nobuhiro Nikaido, who was on the side, rubbed his hands and said in admiration: "Good plan, good plan, Wangmei quenches his thirst." It's just that if you don't get reinforcements at that time, the morale of the troops will inevitably plummet, so what should I do. โ
Date Masahiro replied: "It will take about an hour and a half to reach Umegawa-in from Zhongshan Castle, and Matsuyama Castle will take at least a day and a half to arrive, and if Zhongshan has not been conquered by then, there will be almost no chance." By the way, did I have what you have prepared? โ
Noyama nodded and said, "Your Majesty pretended to be a parade merchant and bought fifty cans, which is enough for us. โ
"Very well, when the time comes, we will act when the opportunity comes." Date Masahiro lifted the spear in his hand, he was used to using bamboo guns, and he was really a little unaccustomed to this, but he couldn't adapt to the knife, and the seven swords he had captured were all distributed to others, and Sajiro Nikaido, who had just shouted loudly, got one.
Date Masahiro thought for a while and said: "Nobuhiro, you stay, don't get excited, for the safety of the people left behind, as soon as we leave, take all the remaining food and hide in the woods of the back mountain, if there is a fire on the east mountain in two days, come out, if not, let everyone disperse." โ
Nikaido Nobuhiro still wanted to argue, but Noyama Yoshichao also persuaded him: "Nikaido, the people left behind are all our relatives, once they show it, we can't be at ease, morale will be extremely low, we can't fight anymore, your task is also very heavy, and the matter in the rear will be entrusted to you." โ
Hearing such words, knowing that he was afraid that he would not be able to bear the old age of bullying, he also understood the importance of the safety of the people left behind, once the war dragged on, Zhongshan Fan Shi would inevitably return to the army, and then his morale would be completely lost, so he had no choice but to guarantee that he would be safe.
Date Masahiro left the remaining spears and knives behind before he was relieved to leave the Umegawa Temple with forty-six energetic soldiers and advance towards Zhongshan Castle.
Since the Date clan began to train their troops after receiving the support of Matsuyama Castle, a large number of monks, traveling merchants, and even fishermen have appeared in the vicinity of Umegawa-in, and each family has been speculating about what the Date clan's next move will be.
It happened to be a sunny day on April 17, and there had not been a single light rain for more than ten days.
From a distance, they were like a team of ants, rushing towards Zhongshan City at full speed. After learning of the situation, the people in the vicinity exploded at once, and for fear of attracting their attention, they followed from a distance, and most of them went to report their master.
Zhongshan Fan Shiyi, who was in Zhongshan City, was not only not nervous after getting the exact news, but laughed out loud and called for God to help me, and immediately summoned the people of the three cities and sent out with a total of 2780 people to meet him.
And the lord of Shimonomiyahara Castle, Miyahara Shigemasa, was also an ambitious figure, and as soon as he got the news, he immediately stepped up the organization of manpower, and immediately sent troops to pick peaches as soon as the battle situation in front of him changed.
Other ambitious local tyrants also mobilized, always paying attention to this joint battle that decided the Zhongshan and Jialong regions.
Hey, it's a bit embarrassing to say that a weapon fight with a total of more than 300 people can be called a battle in a small country like China.
