Hosokawa Fujitaka felt bad all over, which was different from what he thought. When she pointed out the situation ahead, she looked confident in her plans.
Shouldn't Shiba Yiyin and his retainers panic and beg themselves for a way to survive?
Why are you ready to rush in and do it? What kind of man is this? Which family's stupid boy!
"This is? Yuqi?"
Seeing clearly the Ashikaga Nibiryo on the white flag, the three women all gasped.
Hosokawa Fujitaka and Akechi Mitsuhide really didn’t know that Yoshigan had this thing. Hosokawa Fujitaka has been avoiding his biological mother since he returned to Kyoto, misunderstanding that Yoshigoshi is her fiancé, a woman with a very bad temperament.
As soon as the Ashikaga white flag came out, Hosokawa Fujitaka and Akechi Mitsuhide were stunned. They knew that Yoshihiro was not a direct descendant of the shogunate, so how did they get the white flag? Sanyuan's mother really spent a lot of money for her son-in-law.
Otani Yoshitsugi's feeling is even more different. She didn't know the details of Yiyin, but she liked his equal attitude and compassion for patients.
Now pulling out the royal flag of the Ashikaga family is enough to prove that this Yoshigami Shiba is not only a rare character, but also has an extremely tough background.
Although this person is only a young man, he may really be able to lead himself to prosperity. My heart felt hot for a moment, but I couldn't tolerate hesitation at this moment, so I said cruelly.
"Lord Shiba, I am willing to follow you and fight off the ambush."
As he spoke, he knelt down.
Yiyin looked at her, his eyes turned cold.
"Are you not sick? Are you pretending?"
"The villain has a skin problem, and the cough is indeed fake. The Rokkaku family is seeking my family's territory, and in order to survive, I pretend to be sick to delay it. This time, the Rokkaku family ordered me to bring troops here, and they must want to kill me all together. !”
Yiyin looked at her. Although his head was covered, his tone was choked and there were tears in his eyes, which didn't seem to be hypocrisy.
"I believe you, come with me to fight. But your peasants and soldiers should disperse. Since it is useless, why waste your lives."
Yiyin's words made several women look at him sideways. In this world, there is no wrong way to kill, but no one to miss. If you have free cannon fodder, you will either be a fool or a sage.
This fool is what all four women want.
Profits are Spo's retainers. When the Lord speaks, just listen. Otani Yoshitsugi wanted to be attached to Yiyin, but he was obedient.
Hosokawa Fujitaka couldn't help but say.
"The benevolence of a husband. Putting aside the peasants and soldiers, how can you guarantee her loyalty to Da Gu? She has obviously lied to us by pretending to be ill before, so how can we trust her so easily."
"I am the general sent by the shogunate, and I will do whatever I say. If Lord Hosokawa feels something is wrong, you can return to Kyoto now and expose the Rokkaku family's conspiracy to Lord Kōkata."
In this battle, Yiyin is too lazy to worry about the noble girl's temper.
He also thought about turning back. Anyway, Nobunaga's guardian deputies have been sent out. Even if the battle fails this time, the shogunate can't blame itself.
But the Rokkaku family is across Omi, and Kitaisei is also powerful. If you have a grudge against him, it will be difficult to get back to Owari. Just bump your fists and start a fight with the shogunate's tiger skin.
Teach him a lesson. The Rokkaku family must carefully consider whether the price will be too high if they want to do something to themselves in the future.
Hosokawa Fujitaka was so angry that his face turned blue. She is a noble girl from a noble family, and she has been praised by everyone as a warrior Ji since she was a child. She has never been ridiculed like this.
Akechi Mitsuhide on the side couldn't help but shake his head. Hosokawa is a good counselor, but he lacks the ruthlessness on the battlefield.
Yiyin decisively believed Otani Yoshitsugi's explanation. The war is urgent, and one more person means more strength. If Otani really showed a problem later, he would definitely kill her with a backhand knife.
Although Hosokawa Fujitaka has thought more carefully, with the current situation, there is no time to look forward and backward. Believe it or leave it, the hesitation also dampened Otani Yoshitsugi's desire to serve.
This Master Shiba is a character, Akechi Mitsuhide nodded secretly. I asked Hosokawa Fujitaka not to be impulsive. After all, she was also a best friend. She was a bit confused these days because of her marriage, so she should pay more attention to her.
"Dagu, tell us what the terrain of the valley ahead is like."
Yoshigan is not in a hurry to go into battle. Otani Yoshitsugi is from Omi, so he needs to figure out the situation first.
"Yes, sir. This valley is a mountain canyon with towering cliffs on both sides. The creek in the middle is very shallow and can probably submerge your feet. You can walk on the shore by horse and cart. The valley is about ten miles long. It is a road from Mokada Castle to Kyoto. Commonly used trade routes.”
This is the path that Yoshitsugi Otani took when he came here, and he explained it clearly and eloquently.
After hearing this, Yi asked.
"Is it feasible if the mountains on both sides prepare rolling rocks and bows and arrows to attack us?"
"I don't think so. There are too few of us, and the valley is spacious and has many blind spots. If there are no people on the cliffs on both sides, it will be very embarrassing to fight. After all, it is not a large army passing through, and there are advantages to having fewer people."
Ohtani Yoshitsugi replied.
Akechi Mitsuhide thought for a while and said.
"We have a small number of people, and there will not be many enemy troops. If the cliff cannot be used to get down, if you want to use rolling stone bows and arrows, you have to divide the army into four parts, block the front and rear, and attack from both sides. This is too inefficient."
Thinking about the benefits, he nodded.
"You're right. The most likely thing is to block the front and rear roads after we enter. Then after we enter the valley, we mount our horses and rush forward, directly attacking the enemy troops blocking the road in front. Let them finish the battle without paying attention to each other, and defeat them all."
Otani Yoshitsugi nodded and agreed.
"This method works. They can't communicate with each other before and after the valley. The enemy troops behind will definitely not follow us too closely in order to lead us deeper. As long as they rush into the valley, they will have bought enough time when they realize that something is wrong. ”
Yiyin himself doesn't quite understand the principles of these battles. He just relies on plug-ins to go into battle and kill people. Other calculations are far worse than these Ji warriors. Everyone thinks it’s good, so let’s do it.
"Then..."
"Hey."
Yoshigan looked at Hosokawa Fujitaka, who had just sneered.
"You missed something. Since we set off today, we haven't encountered any caravans coming from the front. The front of the valley must have been blocked. How could the other side not set up a blockade? We can break through the well-prepared barriers by charging. Gate?"
When Yiyin heard this, he felt it made sense. What Hosokawa Fujitaka said was right, so he asked.
"Then what do you think we should do?"
"After entering the valley, move forward to a place where you can cover your tracks, and wait for the enemy blocking the road behind to come over. Just turn back and kill her by surprise."
Finally got a chance to show his wisdom, Hosokawa Fujitaka raised his head and said.
It's a pity that no one is looking at her, they are all thinking about the pros and cons of this move.
Yiyin thought that this move was more appropriate than the previous tactic, and after seeing several women nodding, he thought it was good, and made a final decision.
"That's it. Otani, you disperse the peasants and soldiers first. Otani and Maeda have cavalry, and they will charge with me. Lend Akechi-sama a horse to Otani. You two have no protection, and you will share a horse behind and be responsible for plundering the formation. Cover up."
Akechi Mitsuhide nodded and dismounted to show his obedience. Hosokawa Fujitaka pursed his lips, but still thought it was good to keep the peasants and soldiers to consume the enemy's strength. But Yiyin had refused before and didn't want to talk anymore.
Looking at the four girls, Yiyin didn't quite understand why the peasants and soldiers were being dismissed, and felt helpless.
You martial artists really don't take the lives of civilians seriously. You can kill more than twenty people just by consuming a little energy from the enemy.
It's just that he couldn't bear it and was too lazy to explain to these killers, so he could only say arrogantly.
"Hmph, I don't need these untouchables to block the knife for me."
Akechi Mitsuhide's eyes lit up.
