Nobunaga's Bastard

"Chengcheng, this is definitely a very different story if you ask me."

On June 8, 2015, when I started building castles in Iga Country, I divulged a similar feeling to such weak sounds on that first day.

"Upstream of the river, flush the coded trees and combine the trees to match those codes if received downstream"

I am trying to help this castle by following the way taught by the ministers of the Hanzai Palace, Masakazu Hisumaga and Changkang Maeno, and others who now directly directed the famous Minamata Overnight Castle. At that stage of the draft, I had given my opinion, in a way that bracketed high that I would be able to do it myself if I asked, but I discovered one problem after another that I never thought I would try.

"I didn't know the trees with the codes wouldn't fit."

Yasuke shrugged as he scratched his head to do it. The cause is that the wood sucked water while it was flowing from upstream. Come to think of it, the wood used as building material is dried on a year-by-year basis heavenly day for as long as it is used in a dry state on a karakara basis. I don't know if it means flushing it into water or anything.

"I wonder how Lord Feather did it?

"I made a good building material even if it was wet, and I put something on it that should not be wet, don't you think?

Ancient Left thought, assistant Right Gate answered. Oh, Chengcheng Cheng and those around him nod at the answer to the assistant right gate. I'm one of them.

"There are so many people and they are playing"

"Didn't you split the group into small pieces and let it hit work from place to place?

To Keijiro's words, I returned the question. This is the method once carried out by the Hanzai Temple during the stone wall repair of Tsingzhou Castle. I'll give you a prize for the early set of things, and when I can, I'll give you an extra prize. At the time, I roared that it was a good way to make them compete and cooperate.

"You don't know what to do with the person giving the instructions. I'm not familiar with the land, I'm not building a stereotypical house. It's the only castle that can only be built on this terrain, even if it's a little troubling."

In reply to Kyung-jiro, I scratched the scratch as I said Cheng Cheng. Then a day went by and their movements got a lot better. Everyone has often and seriously worked on instructions from local people and the artisans who brought them here. I didn't do the roping properly. Maps are also available, and the central contour and the arrangement, size, shape, height, depth and width of the moat river are all numerical. The size and shape of the additional dwellings that can be built later can also be designed. If Ozhang Kodo is telling me to build a castle, I'm sure I'll be doing my job well. Even if you've gone through a lot of trouble, you can start over right away. It's the way my mother tells me to make a triad error. Try, fix the mistake each time and try again. In fact, after about five days, everyone moved remarkably better. The locals who hired them as human feet did more work than I said if I promised them money and three meals, and the ancient soldiers have been fighting together for the past two years, so they are able to work together. Thus, the twenty-first day of June, when the temple of the castle finally stood.

Two thousand Igas are on their way to destroy the castle.

The castle's hands stopped due to reports from Baidi Tampa and one of its parties, who began to work for me as an intelligence officer as soon as possible.

"What about the attacker? You didn't come all the way to the Koga crowd, did you?

"Ha, in a pattern of eleven people gathered in Kobe, Uelin, Beetle, Talent, County Village, Offshore, City, Inomata, Yinagai, Forty-Nine, Beetle"

I looked at Iga's map as I listened to the report. All eleven are from central Iga to slightly north, that is, local luxuries. The locals brought gestures to each of them, it seems.

"Keijiro, I had thought that if there were 10,000 stones, there would be about 300 soldiers, but if there were 2,000 soldiers, there would be nearly 70,000 stones. Was Iga so stone tall by then?

It was the view of the Oda family that Iga was precisely 100,000 stones. From there the Baiji clan departs, and North Ise is constantly under pressure from the Hanzai Palace. I didn't think I could prepare two grand a hassle or anything. However, when asked the question, Keijiro worked a great deal of disrespect in laughing at the master with his nose, but said it was a headstrong idea.

"I didn't come here to conscript. As it was, when Iga was destroyed, those with a sense of crisis arrived in the clan outing. I was wondering if you would understand if you fought Nagashima."

You're absolutely right.

If you know what I mean, it's superimposed.

"Let's give the reward a front line of praise. Kick your enemies with a single ride."

"Do you want me to tell the awkward to die?

'Cause I'm gonna say it in a nasty way on purpose.'

And so on, Keijiro and I were skirmished, and we immediately stopped the formation, and let the people and feet we had hired in, and then the people we had brought in as non-combatants, escape to the east side, that is, to the mountains on Ise's side. If you have fought behind the mountains of Iga, you will find a wealth of experience in our ancient city. There was no rush to attack the enemy, and he set up a neat defensive posture.

"One thousand two hundred on your side. The enemies will not gather, but will attack each clan."

"Eleven units in each one."

Jinglian replies to Shiro's decree, the sneak of the Baidi family. Everything looks spicy. Even for me, it's hard. It is the iron rule in leading the army to victory not to create a Ranger, that is, a soldier who is spending his time doing nothing and doing nothing. Do not subdivide soldiers for this purpose. No matter how good a general he is, he can't take command in two places at the same time. Multiple units need close meetings to strike at the same time. Not to mention the number divided by those who have a numerical advantage, such as the Eleven Units. It's a soldier's way. But Iga's soldiers do it. I guess I'm convinced that's stronger. That means the common sense of the soldiers we know doesn't work.

"Keijiro, I will keep the assistant right gate and the soldier 300. Hit the enemies you're about to slap."

Hit an uncommonsense ally against an uncommonsense enemy. When I said it, Keijiro laughed with pleasure and took the spear.

"Yasuke, you can lead 300 men and women to safety. I have no more work to do today. Pay your salary for a day."

"Do you mind?

"I lost my job at this convenience, I don't have a choice."

I have a reputation for paying well, Shigesei Murai, I think I'll buy a name for it.

"No, it's not. Some of the newcomers are just sent to the most dangerous front."

Says Yasuke, who had a different concern than where I answered.

"We ministered your Lord with the promise not to put you on the front line as much as possible. If the enemy has come this far, they will fight, but they are not yet hunted down that far."

I said, it's discipline. Oh, Yasuke, who laughed like he was impressed, drowned, and ran out. The remaining soldiers are halfway there as soon as possible.

We are now in the middle of a semi-circular river like the second painting of Hiragana, with enemies approaching from the north and south. Nevertheless, I don't see where and how I have enemy soldiers. Yasuke lets his people and feet raise their voices and flee east as he raises his flag finger. From the enemy's point of view, it would look like the main unit is on the move. Speaking of Keijiro, he took a path north in a motion that seemed unproductive, crossing the river without any hesitation, to the opposite bank. Then I don't know what happened first. Because the enemy has struck against the six hundred that remain in the battalion.

"Shoot!"

This crossbowman will attack the enemy avant-garde who has crossed the river and tried to bring it into the field. Isn't it already higher than the artillery squad in terms of hit rate?

Iga soldiers used shields made of bamboo to prevent bows. The damage is minor. But when he persisted in releasing the arrow, he eventually gave up the crossing and withdrew.

"Enemy attack!"

It overtook the first line of enemies. At that moment I thought, enemies appeared slightly from the west. It is already fleshing across the river into an unfinished castle.

"Is it in the interest of the land, the enemy?"

Perhaps he knew where the river was shallow and easy to cross. Once withdrawn, the frontal soldiers also began to advance again.

"Jinglian don't stop shooting. Ancient left, follow me! Defeat Iga Soldiers in the White Soldier Battle!

There are more than a hundred enemy soldiers who have crossed. This one is six hundred, three hundred or three times more even if you keep half of it in Jinglian. Kick this thing off before the aftermath comes.

"The Admiral's neck is here! Who wants to pick it up and use it as a handset?!?

I screamed on the horse and moved on. It was intercepted with a formation of crane wings, like pressing and wrapping the ancient left in front of it and from left to right. Iga soldiers have not used artillery or arrows, but have successfully used strings to fly stunning stone debris. The Takeda family's soldiers also specialize in stone debris as a long-range attack. Even stone colors are not made of fools. I can't pull it off, though.

"Don't be frightened! Forward."

If you turn to the rear, more enemies will come from the rear. Kick early and if you don't hurry back, the troops led by Jinglian will be directly attacked. I pushed my horse to the river and pushed up the front. It feels enough to annihilate the siege, not to intercept it just on this occasion. Iga soldiers, who saw it as unprofitable, withdrew without force. I didn't chase this one either and took it back immediately. About five hundred enemy soldiers pushed the bamboo shield forward, and it was moving forward with jirri. Before Jinglian is swallowed up, two hundred and fifty, led by me, enter the center of the enemy and Jinglian's troops and make a bang. And from the side of the enemy, ancient left and about fifty soldiers cut in and rocked.

"It's good to have backup coming from behind you."

Looks like they're attacked by crossbowmen from left to ancient left and from center to right. My two hundred and fifty doesn't make it slight. But I'm trying to set up a pursuit at the same time the enemy retreats. I guess I know. I don't try to pull inside.

The glue continued for a while, and it was the enemy who broke the situation. Five hundred more emerged from the rear and started moving forward. Five hundred on the front line pull to match it. I'll move forward and chase the gestures 250. If the enemy's avant-garde five hundred and the rear army five hundred join, the situation will be reversed, so far as the center of the river. So he had all his troops pulled up, including those on the ancient left. It's a re-division. If it's re-divided, it'll be more of an advantage over there. With that in mind, numerous flag fingers appeared from the mountains behind the enemy, and a voice rose.

"When did you get reinforcements?

Answer Jinglian's words, shaking his head. I don't know. They probably think the enemy army is the main unit. This battle is therefore contested by the perception that both armies have fewer allies. This is where there are actually fewer soldiers. I sent Keijiro north. It will take a little longer for Yasuke to come back. Any other possible reinforcements.

"Oh, Cheng Cheng"

Thinking about it, I went to one answer and hit it. Iga has the power to take my side. You will be good at backward camouflage and such pseudo-soldier tactics without direct combat.

"Two thousand reinforcements have arrived, wiped out at once. We're gonna cross the river."

So, when we started the chase, the Iga soldiers made a brilliant retreat and disappeared.

Around the same time, in the battle on the north side, Yasuke's troops were joining back with Keijiro's troops, who had defeated enemy soldiers doubling to their allies and rampaging vertically and horizontally. Both units pull up battles on time and return home with minimal damage to their allies. The first day of battle ended with no victory or loss and a slight advantage over Oda.

For the next five days, we repeated the skirmish. The castle-building hand was stopped, but protecting the formation was successful, and for both, the strategic purpose was not achieved and the painful and itchy time persisted. I thought so.

Cheng Cheng, was that what you were after?

Early in the morning of the seventh day after the battle began, he was squeaking looking west. In previous battles, the enemy attacked across the river from north to south, with non-combatants fleeing on the east side. On the remaining western side of the mountain, a fort is being built.

"What's the name of that mountain?

"They call it Maruyama locally."

When I asked, Shiro replied so.

"Overnight castle, you've done a wonderful job."

To Yasuke's prolonged words, I say yes. Jinglian asked me what I would do.

"It depends on how the enemy comes out. Shiro. What do you say?

"Reinforcements have gathered in the castle and are now swelling to nearly four thousand. Let's attack soon."

"If we can take that fort away, the situation will be reversed. What do you say? Climb the mountain with all your troops while this place is under attack and take it away. You think you can do that?

Look around as you listen. Keijiro had a funny look on his face, but still didn't say he could. The expressions of the other ministers are presumptive.

"My gesture, in this unfinished castle, do you think we will raise the offense from four thousand?

When asked, Jinglian stepped forward as if to represent him. One word that I can't. Right, I don't think I can either.

"Then definitely nothing. The castle failed. Retreat, burn down the castle"

Only Shiro reacted to the words. You thought the draw was too good, you thought it was a waste, but in any case, if you can't fight here, your allies will be wiped out. If you were able to escape before you lost so much, you would just have come home from an attack, that is, a draw.

"You still had the building material you cut out. It will burn well. If you have any excess ammunition, spread it out. Shiro, when the battle begins, give the enemy one piece of information. Said the Great Invasion of Feathers began in the North."

This information is not a lie. According to what I've been hearing in advance, the army must have left today or yesterday. Lord Hachiba already has experience in keeping and directing 10,000 soldiers. To the Admiral, Uncle Shinko. As for Igas, they won't be able to afford to chase me.

"The enemy has begun to advance."

Just then, a report came in from the sight. I gave instructions to everyone and told them once again that I would get rid of this place by the end of the day. And before noon that day, the castle we were about to build was on fire, and we headed east on a scale, and within that day we crossed the Iga Ise border.

"The Igas have also begun to withdraw."

Before dawn the next day, a follow-up came in. The luxuries of central Iga, who received reports of the southbound Hanzai, abandoned the fort they had just built and destroyed it. I immediately took him back north. Eight thousand of its total troops have squeezed their power to defend the country. Obviously it was beyond all the power that a country called Iga had.

"Out of the line."

That's how the day after Iga became a wartime system, I summoned the whole army. All armies, that's not only Oda's, it's not Ise's, it's all armies in the sense of the whole army of Shigemitsu Murai. The total is six hundred. No soldiers have been hired with money. Ministers in the true sense.

"I, Kabai, Zao, Jinglian, Gu Left, Keijiro, Suke-right Gate, and Yasuke make eight units. Each Baidi Tambo leads the way in the sneak of his hand and hurries to Maruyama Castle. Start building the castle as arranged in advance as soon as you arrive. You already got the hang of building a castle?

When I heard it, all the commanders who were out on the battlefield last time nodded. Garrisons and collectors called from Ancient Castle have also received reports from the soldiers. It won't mean I don't know.

"Thankfully, the Igas taught me the most suitable place to build a castle in that land. Four thousand people have stepped on it and the landscaping is over. Burned remains will also help build the castle. I also gained experience in the field. Only build castles after that. If only to the extent that the Battle of Cage Castle could be fought when the Iga people, blinded to the north, took it back. Yuku."

The same voice overlaps. About the same time they split up their troops and started marching, they were asked by the assistant right-hand man.

"Everything, is it on Dr. Sentence's palm?

"Don't be stupid. If you are truly on the palm of your hand, you have succeeded in building the castle for the first time, and at the same time you have taken the castle of Maruyama"

To the extent that I had to do something so laborious and expensive, I was cornered, too.

Hearing my reply, Suke-right Gate laughed happily.

Thus, having acquired Maruyama Castle, which later left its name as a castle that protected the Oda family, I will henceforth be called Iga Shou.
