"hurry up!"
Sanada Nobushige stood on the bank of the Iiura River, watching groups of Sanada Zowei with high morale crossing the river, and Umino Riichi beside her said.
"The opponent seemed to have given up on the defense of the river and concentrated all its efforts on the hills, earthen ramparts, fences, and ditches in front.
It is said that the Oda army here is from the Northern Omi Army, and their morale is not high. The other generals do not dare to defend the river embankment, probably because they are worried that they will be defeated thousands of miles away and will not be able to organize an effective defense line at Shiyue."
Sanada Nobushige snorted coldly and said.
"I don't care what the opponent's general thinks, my goal is Dayan Mountain! Right!"
Sanada Nobushige shouted, and the Sanada people crossing the river were full of morale and shouted in response.
"Onboard! Onboard!"
At first, only a few groups of people in front of them were shouting, but their shouts seemed to have infected the Sanada people in the distance. More and more people started shouting, and gradually they gathered into a loud roar.
Sanada Nobushige laughed loudly and turned back to Umino Riichi.
"Look, this is my sister, her military spirit is very useful! That guy named Takigawa on the base line of defense, can she block the full blow of my Sanada team?"
Umino Riichi still had the same girlish face as he said calmly.
"They can be excited, because Jindo Palace has given them two hundred establishments, which is enough for them to go through fire and water without hesitation.
But you can't be excited, you are the commander-in-chief, you have to lead them to take down Dayan Mountain and get back those two hundred units.
They are good sisters in the mountains, they are worthy of us, but if they fail in this battle and cannot win the Big Rock Mountain, then you will be sorry to them.
Calm down and don’t let down the expectations of your sisters.”
Sanada Nobushige took a deep breath, exhaled it slowly, and then nodded to Umino Ri.
"Calm down, let's go, let's go to the front and look for weak points in the defense."
———
On the south side of the Saigake defense line, Hashiba Hideyoshi looked at the nervous Ashigaru at the front and said to Takenaka Shigeharu beside him.
"I followed your suggestion and made some suggestions to Takigawa Kazuki, and she was really impatient.
Then, I proposed that my troops control the southern line and protect the shortcut to Changbin City in the rear.
She really agreed, wishing that I would immediately leave her sight and roll aside so as not to be an eyesore."
Hashiba Hideyoshi couldn't help laughing, Takenaka Shigeharu shook his head and said.
"After all, Takigawa Kazuki is a close confidant of the main hall, the second-largest figure in the Muyi clan, second only to Ikeda Tsuneaki, and he always has to be a little arrogant.
My lord, by virtue of your military exploits in defeating Asai, you have become a famous person with 120,000 koku. There are many people with red eyes behind your back. She is jealous of you."
Hideyoshi Hashiba nodded.
"After all, I come from a bad background. In the past, those in the Mother Clothes Club looked down upon me, but now the person they look down upon has climbed onto their head, and it's naturally unbearable.
Takigawa Kazumasu forcibly took over the defense line and left me here to look at the southern passage. My responsibility was finally cleared.
What should we do next?”
Takenaka Shigeharu shook his head and said.
"You don't have to do anything, we'll just watch.
It is said that these Sanada soldiers who have come from afar are the strongest soldiers in Kanto, and we just want to see if they are worthy of the legendary bravery and skill in battle."
Hideyoshi Hashiba said thoughtfully.
"What if Takigawa Kazumasuma blocked the Sanada army's offensive?"
Takenaka Shigeharu smiled.
"Then let her do the meritorious work. Isn't it because she is ostracizing you just to take all the credit? Let's just give it up.
However, I don't think it's that easy.
After all, the Sanada Army had 10,000 people. Although the Shiyue defense line had been well deployed for a month, the morale of the North Omi army was too low, and the number of soldiers was only a few thousand. Even with the favorable geographical location, it was difficult to stop the offensive.
In any case, Isono Danmasa's actions had a great impact on the Kitanomi people, and Takigawa Kazuki was unabashedly wary, and it also made Aguan Sadazaki and others see clearly that they were cannon fodder, and their morale was even lower."
Hideyoshi Hashiba sighed.
"The people of Kitanomi are also pitiful. They are rats in the bellows, suffering from both sides."
