A samurai who doesn't want to be a daimyo is not a good onmyoji

Chapter 189 Prelude
A few hours later, when the ninja reported that the Asai army had sent [-] troops and that they were less than ten miles away from here, Rokkaku Yoshihide felt unbelievable, even a little ridiculous.

"How is it possible? We have left nearly five thousand troops under Zuohe Mountain Castle. How could we let them pass so easily?"

"And are all your Koga ninjas useless? Why didn't you report their movement until now? If it was later, I would be able to see the enemy myself!"

The scolded Koga ninja bowed his head and just remained silent. Of course, it wasn't that they didn't try to do that. It was just because the enemy's strength was too strong. All those companions had already died in battle when they saw the opponent's ninja.

If I didn't feel something was wrong and brought many companions there at once, I'm afraid even myself as a Chunin would not be able to come back alive.

But even so, most of his companions died on the spot, and even he was seriously injured, so it was already very difficult to support here.

It's a pity that I can't report to the leader. Except for the kunoichi in yellow, the remaining ninjas all look like Iga's.
The Koga ninja finally couldn't help but lowered his head. Because of the excessive bleeding, his thoughts became more and more confused.

But Liujiao Yixian didn't scold enough, even he couldn't help but stepped forward and tried to slap the opponent twice, because apart from the five thousand army, his favorite son Yizhi didn't know what was going on!

Goto Kentoyo, a veteran in the account, wanted to dissuade him. Now was not the time to pursue responsibility. He should immediately prepare for war.

However, Shindo Kenmori signaled him with his eyes not to stop him at this time. The lord was obviously worried about his young master, so he was so angry.

And Zuo Zuo is just a lowly ninja, let alone the lord slap each other a few times, even if he is killed, so what?

As for the other people in the tent, such as Narazaki Ikimori, Dr. Tanaka Jibu, etc., they all kept silent with their eyes and noses in mind. They were all veterans of the Rokkaku family and knew that this was the character of their lord. Just let him vent a little bit.

The Rokkaku family has defeated the Asai family many times for decades, and they have already been battle-hardened for a long time. The lord will soon officially start dispatching an army to attack the Asai family.

Anyway, the Asai family's army is still ten miles away, so there is no shortage of time for these few sentences.

But when Rokkaku Yoshiken's hand touched the Koga Ninja's chest, everyone saw him fall to the ground directly, and large swaths of blood flowed down his body.

A shuriken was suddenly inserted into the opponent's chest. It turned out that the opponent came to report the injury. Previously, it was because of the opponent's dark tights and the angle, so no one could notice it, but Rokkaku Yoshiken said The slap seemed to hit the shuriken directly, destroying the opponent's remaining chance of survival.

A samurai immediately ran forward, pressed his neck and tested his breathing, then shook his head at Rokkaku Yixian.

Rokkaku Yoshixian couldn't help but snorted: "It's bad luck, drag him out."

"Assemble everyone immediately, leaving 1000 people, led by Harutsuna Kuchiki, to continue the siege of Takamiya Castle, while the rest are preparing to set up formations in Norada, and send a message to Lord Kamao, asking him to allocate part of his troops to reinforce our army."

"No matter what tricks the Asai army used to defeat Nagahara Shigeuki and Ikeda Keio, they must have lost a lot. It is ridiculous that Nagamasa did not camp and rest in place to wait for the follow-up reinforcements, but he came so quickly and tried to push himself. I really think I am Liujiao Yixian Is he a fool like his father?"

"My Rokkaku family is a famous family that has been passed down for hundreds of years. I want to defeat his Asai family in an upright manner on the plains, just like I did countless times before!"

Veteran Gotou Kentoyo nodded and said, "Yes, my Rokkaku family has been through battles for a long time. How can a young boy like Nagamasa be able to compare with us?"

Jin Teng Xiansheng couldn't help but comfort him: "Exactly, my lord is right, we haven't received any information from the front, and we haven't lost any soldiers so far. Maybe the Asai family didn't defeat us." The army ahead, I just don’t know how to get around them.”

Many retainers agreed and expressed contempt for Asai Nagamasa, even though the sudden appearance of him a few miles away really surprised them.

But even if the slight loss during the siege of Takamiya Castle and the troops dispatched were removed, there were at least 6000 troops available for the side, and according to the ninja's report, the Asai family only dispatched [-] to [-] people.

Thirteen thousand versus six thousand, twice as many as the enemy. The advantage lies with me!
When the chuunin's body was dragged out and then casually thrown on the roadside like a piece of garbage, in a dark corner that no one noticed, a thin ninja quietly Withdrew.

Although after special training, most of them have become emotionally numb. They only want to be loyal to the leader and complete the mission, and are indifferent to the life and death of their companions.But if that companion is also his brother who is related to him by blood, things may become slightly different.

He didn't hate the Asai army who severely wounded his brother, because the day he decided to become a ninja, he was already prepared to sacrifice for the mission, and the other kunoichi was indeed strong enough to die against such an opponent. On the hands, neither my brother nor I had any complaints.

He just felt sad. It was clear that he had accidentally contacted Mr. Bai Di San Taifu. As long as he revealed a few trivial information, he and his brother could completely escape from this dark life.

But he never expected that at this most critical moment, his efforts fell short. His brother did not die in the hands of hostile ninjas. Instead, he was killed by Rokkaku Yoshiken after successfully escaping.

What he couldn't bear even more was that the other party still insulted his brother even though he was already dead. Even as a ninja, he still had his own dignity!

On the other side, Asai Nagamasa also quickly received a report from Ning Ning, saying that the other party did not choose to withdraw the troops of Takamiya Castle, and did not even take advantage of the special environment of the river. arrayed on the plain.

He couldn't help laughing immediately. It seemed that even if he easily broke through Zuowa Yamashiro's defense, the other party still didn't pay enough attention.

If you take advantage of the danger of the river, when your side is crossing the river to attack, the opponent will hit it halfway, which will definitely cause more damage to your side. Then you may need to change some battle plans. After all, it is the first battle. You need to win more beautifully to build the reputation of the Asai family.

But now the Liujiao family's approach undoubtedly saved him a lot of effort.

If this is the case, then in return, he may not need to directly kill Rokkaku Yoshiken, but should put him and his son back together.

A stupid, incompetent, recently defeated and seriously injured father, plus an even more stupid son who thinks he is brave and intelligent, what interesting things can happen?
But this thought disappeared in a flash. If possible, he would of course kill the father and son of the other party, and then calmly take over the entire Nanjinjiang!
"Near the messenger island, slow down the advance speed, prepare to form a formation, and wait for the troops in the rear. We are going to have an upright decisive battle with the Rokkaku family."

"Also, Ning Ning, I would like to trouble you to pay attention to the movement of Gamo Xianxiu outside Feitian City."

It is very exhausting to march long distances with weapons in hand, but Asai Nagamasa and the others did not come here directly from Sawayama Castle in one breath. They also ate and rested for a while before moving on. .

Now, it's almost the peak moment, just right for a big kill.

"Okay, leave it to Ning Ning!"

After resting for a while, Ning Ning, who had replenished her strength, responded cheerfully, then jumped off the horse and quickly disappeared into the forest.

Seeing the little kunoichi twisting her butt and disappearing quickly, Asai Nagamasa couldn't help but smile. Most of the time, her energy was always so strong. She didn't know whether it was her nature or the guardian spirit that gave her strength.

He then looked at a samurai wearing a full-face helmet next to him: "If Kenshu Kamao is really worthy of his name, you may be asked to appear soon."

The troops led by Shima Sakon in the first team are undoubtedly the strongest, followed by Masahiro Isano and Naotsu Endo in the second team, and the quality of both samurai and ashigaru in the third team is much worse. No palace troops have been set up yet.

As for the rear formation, apart from some clans and samurai loyal to their families, there are not many professional infantry, and their strength is actually not very strong.

Asai Nagamasa did not deliberately cover up this point. If there are really capable people in the Liujia family, they can still quickly discover this apparent weakness.

It's just that if there are really "smart people" who try to attack this so-called weakness, I will definitely surprise them.

The masked warrior immediately replied angrily: "Yes, Master, I will definitely go all out to protect Master!"
