◇ ◇

I, Hideyoshi Toyotomi, had heard the course of the battle of Ninja Castle and my impression of the person named Nagata had changed so gallarily that it was not too much to say that he was truly opposed to it.

Princess Kofi questioned me once I was out of conversation.

"Lord Hideyoshi. I said," My elder lord was a fine general. "Do you understand?

While at Osaka Castle, it's like taking a military law class from her.

And I answered that question without hesitation.

"Yes. I kind of get it"

"Well, then say it."

"Yes. Listen sincerely to the minister's advice and accept them as your responsibility.

So if it achieves results, it will be the minister's formality, and if it fails, I will take responsibility for it.

And I think that the ministers will give the golden word every day, that the elder priest is a good general. "

Princess Kofi laughs nicely as if she had been told about herself. But it still didn't seem to be enough.

"That's half, Lord Hideyoshi. There is another point where the elder lord was fine as a general."

"One more thing..."

When I slipped my neck, Princess Kofi said with a distant eye that she missed.

"That… is what has always shown us the light of hope"

"Light of Hope..."

When I snapped like that, Nagata continued his growing season like a successor.

………

……

July 4th, the 19th of heaven.

At last the day came.

As a reinforcement to the Toyotomi Army, when Masayuki Maida, famous as a strategist, and his son Nobuyasu Maida (later Yukimura Maida) joined him, there would have been some advice from Chang-hyu that the Toyotomi Army lifted the siege around the previous water attacks.

In other words, it was intended to be a total attack.

It adopted the most effective, albeit simple, approach to attacking three gates simultaneously: the Hadaguchimen, the Shimojiguchimen, and the Samaguchimen, the main points in Shinobu's defense.

Even for Sansei Ishida, General of the Toyotomi Army, who had information that the fall of Odawara Castle was near, it would mean that he could not be any more pretentious.

Some sacrifice was an operation prepared.

And...

Toyotomi army, roughly 30,000 began to move.

On the other hand, Ninja Castle...

Although Narita's soldiers were about three thousand at the beginning of the battle by the fierce battle of Cage Castle in a month, by the casualties, only about half of them could move now.

After receiving reports that Toyotomi's total offensive would finally begin, Nagata's elder father assembled everyone during the assessment.

The eldest parent has the usual look on his face.

Don't feel it, don't be strong...

It's strange because I just saw that look and now I think everyone in the Narita family "feels like they can win".

And I said it at my usual rate.

"If we make it through here, the enemy will surely give up!

But I can't think of a way to intercept the enemy's last attack!

I'm in so much trouble!

The oldest parent to say so clearly. But at this time, everyone never felt "pity".

Because I know.

That he will indulge in everyone's opinions, no matter how small.

And that you will find a "light of hope" that will surely lead you to success, without any opinions being disturbed.

Thus, when his elder parents asked him for his opinion on the spot, the generals began to express their opinions like a flood.

I get a variety of opinions, big and small.

Everyone on the spot gave serious thought and serious opinions.

And just as the elder parents of the Admiral were, they took each other's opinions seriously and came up with opinions regardless of their differences of status, etc.

Thus, when we assembled each and every one as a "measure," the formation was decided.

Samaguchi has three hundred soldiers in Kazumi Shibazaki.

Aritaguchi has three hundred soldiers in Sadotomi Imamura.

Shimochiguchi is 300 soldiers in the Negative Wine Roll (Sakaki Yukie).

As a guerrilla army, three hundred soldiers to the Tampa guard of Masaki.

If each army could no longer hold up from enemy attacks, the main operation was for the generals of each squad to ring a bell and call Masaki Squad, a parade.

And when it comes to those who can fight, they are all but wounded somewhere, and most of them are peasants.

And what a total of fifteen times more enemies.

Normally, I'm not the one to win.

Still, they didn't give up hope.

Because the Admiral's eldest father Narita feels nothing without questioning the victory of his allies.

- I'm sure I can win... I don't feel that way when I look at the elder lord.

Princess Kofi was watching the scene quietly like that, suppressing the hot stuff coming from inside her chest.

And finally, when all the opinions had been put together, the eldest parents called out loudly at the end.

"Victory is now! Everyone's! Narita's bottom line, let me show you!

- Oops!!

Thus the battle of Ninja Castle moved on to the greatest fierce battle: the total attack of the Toyotomi army.

………

……

July 5, '19 (1590) -

It began with a rush out of Sansei Ishida in a hurry for military merit.

By simultaneous attacks from three directions, Chang Yuki Maida's dedication to distracting the attention of his enemies removed the object brilliantly.

Mitsune was in charge of Shimochiguchi. Only three hundred liquor squadrons intercept his army.

"I will never let you through here!! Everyone's!! Fight with the moat on your back!! Find your way to life!!

Sakamaki Negative so instructed the soldiers, he left the castle and turned his back on the moat, so to speak, intercepted Mitsune in the formation of the leeward.

Satake Squad, which was supposed to attack along with Ishida Squad, was completely behind due to Mitsune's runaway, and now only Ishida Squad is attacking.

That was lucky for the liquor squad.

"Whoa!! I wonder if I'll lose here!!

Due to the formation that will not be taken behind it, and the work of Shura, who is unwilling to take the liquor roll, the liquor roller squad will unilaterally beat Ishida squad instead of being cornered.

The hurried Sansei was nothing more than just sounding a high voice on the spot.

"What are you doing!! Show him the strength of Toyotomi!!

But it's in the fight, and blaming it on impudence on the headless, there's no way it's going to go up the morale of soldiers or anything, but rather it's going down as you look at it.

And as morale went down, the sacrifice increased inversely proportionally.

………

……

Meanwhile, Nagasaki Asano and Chang-yuki Maida were in charge of the attackers of Hadaguchi.

The Asano Squad, who found out about Mitsune's escape, rushed their troops to their place of responsibility in an effort to contend "Is it something to be delayed", but the Maida Squad was still in formation on the outskirts of the castle, i.e. around the Rinen River.

He's still too young.

Makoto Maida sighs as she watches Mitsune's movement from above the embankment of the Rinegawa.

"Father... this battle..."

Even inside the battlefield, his son, Shinzuki Maida, with a gentle expression, snapped to worry about something.

When he heard the twinkling of his faith, Chang Xiao said as if he were frightened.

"You can't lose like this! Lose! But if there's one chance..."

"Is it here Hadaguchi..."

"Ha! You know exactly what I mean! That's the son of this Yasuo Maida!

Out of the three gates, there are only castles and castles, and Narita's attention is sweeter because he has more defense than the original.

If you do, you poke that gap.

In other words, we rush through here without the attention of our enemies.

Then attack into the castle at once and let your enemies do nothing. Soon surround Honmaru and you will win!

"For that..."

"I need you to work hard in jail."

"In other words, Lord Otani (about Yoshihei Otani) stormed Samaguchi and fast-tracked it into the gap where the enemy is suppressing it..."

"Ha! Your Lord knows very well, my son! Exactly! Until then, it is better for Asano to attack Hatanaguchi.

Because if no one is attacking obviously, they will be suspicious.

The one in Asano is in a hurry to help me. "

"I see... that's right, Father."

"Ha!! Come on Toyotomi Hideyoshi, let's take a souvenir like that!!

Chang Xiao stared at the war with his mouth raised when he peeled his lips.

………

……

In Shimochi, Ishida Squad, and in Hadaguchi, Asano Squad were each engaged in fierce battles, which were as intense as they were, even here in Samaguchi.

"You have to protect it at all costs!! No!!

Wazumi Shibazaki, the guardian, managed to resist the onslaught of Yoshie Otani as he raised his voice diligently.

Even though the Otani Squad was a large army, it was in fact very large that the widow Shibazaki Squad was held up by Princess Kofi who remodeled the moat here near Samaguchi, along with the samurai, in just one day.

"Attack! Attack! Show the strength of Otani!!

Still, when Samaguchi was gradually pushed into Yoshihei's extraction, the gate was finally opened.

Standing on his head, he was also Wazumi Shibazaki, who had unleashed his bow himself, but at the same time the gate was opened, retreating the soldiers to near the Oteman to prepare them.

And when you get the bell that you're supposed to be able to reward if it's a crisis,

"Grrr!! I don't have a choice when it comes to it!!

So he slapped it hard.

- Kang!! Kang!! Kang!!

The high bell sounded cloudy, informing the guards of the crisis.

And...

"The direction of the sound of that bell is Samaguchi! Yikes!! Everyone's!! We're on our way to rescue!!

Masaki Tambo Shogun, who heard the bell, was fighting against Asano Squad at the castle exit of Hadaguchi, but when he left the castle, he moved his soldiers towards Samaguchi.

But...

There was a man who didn't miss that gap.

It was Chang-yuki Maida...

"Whoa!! Now!!! We'll pull it out at once!! Follow me all!!

Chang Happy and Shinshin's parents and children arrived at the mouth of Hadaguchi, whose soldiers diminished at divine speed, like bows and arrows released after being whilst being squeezed full of eyes.

And when he set fire to his departure from the castle, when the fierce warlord Masaki Tampa was gone, he took control of it all at once.

Furthermore, if Maida's onslaught continues at a breathless rate, now...

"Masuda Yuanjiro Shinzuki!! Drop the bending wheel!!

and dropped an important defensive point, the discarding wheel.

"This is not good!!

- Kang!! Kang!! Kang!!

Sakatomi Imamura, guardian of Hadaguchi, accidentally struck the bell.

But at that time, the Parade guard Masaki Tambo cannot move in a fierce battle with the Otani Squad.

Of course, the Imamura squad, who can't wait for rescue with his fingers crossed, struggles hard against the forces of Maida's parents and son and Nagata Asano, but the momentum was still great waves, and he was fiercely attacking Imamura squad to drink.

"So far..."

Sakatomi Imamura accidentally turns a blind eye and prepares to die.

"Ha!! We're going all the way to Honmaru at once!! Our victory!!

Such a high laugh of Chang Yue added further momentum to the Maida soldiers.

Finally, the waves of Maida team swallow Imamura team...

That was the time.

"No!!!

I thought I heard a scream that made the air tremble...

Maida's "Wave"...

I was cut off.

"Nah... what!? What happened!!?

Suddenly, Chang Xiao is confused by the fact that his army has been stopped from advancing.

But he was not a foolish general, and soon found out that it was due to less than two hundred troops who came to rescue Imamura Squad.

"Grrr!! Have you kept your reinforcements down in the castle!!

You expected this to happen...

Pretty good!

However, Chang Xiao saw the general of the army who came to the rescue and was drained of his temper.

"Oh... my stomach..."

In the armor of deep red, a black helmet, and a slender and tall beauty woven with feathers of an ephemeral colour raised her name with a famous sword, "Wave Cut".

"I am Kofi Narita, the Oriental Undoubled!!

Call from whoever wants to be this wave-cut rust!!

Then Shinkai, who had rushed over to Chang Hak's side, said.

"Father! If we stop marching here, we will lose our army!! This is where it goes!!

Declaring so, he did not wait for his father's answer and ran through to jump to the front line.

And he raised his name against Princess Kofi, who stood like a dragon.

"I am the second son of Yasuo Maida, Yuanjiro Maida, who has become prosperous!!

No!! A battle!!

Faith storms Princess Kofi with the spear he specializes in.

When Princess Kofi received her sword from her samurai, she confronted her faithfully and royally.

"Whoa!!!

When the tiger-like roar was raised and Faithfulness thrust a spear at Princess Kofi, Princess Kofi laughed niggardly and began the spear with a sword.

- KING!!

The spear of faith begins with the high metal noise that There now Princess Kofi has stepped in and paid her foot with a sword.

"Shh!!

"Fuck!!

- KING!!

Faithfulness that manages to take it.

Said Princess Kofi with an invincible grin when she saw it.

"Don't do it quite! Lord!!

"You said Lord Kofi... isn't your Lord quite too!!

"Hmm!! It's not like I'm gonna lose to you!!

That being said, Princess Kofi punches in faithfully. The faith that received it now pokes Princess Kofi.

It was in the midst of a riot that such an attack went on as a two-in-three.

... and then.

"Yuanjiro!! Stop!!

The next moment I was told that the reason was exalted when I wondered if Changyuki Maida's shout sounded that

"Hiku!! Retreat!!

Shinzaki Maida rounds his eyes to the word.

What I don't know about the war was that Princess Kofi frowned at the fact that words of retreat had come out of Maida Squad, the same and enemy.

Against such princess Kofi, Pecori bowed his head to the faithfulness of

"Apparently that's it for today. Next time I see you on the battlefield, please continue."

Leaving the scene like the wind.

Princess Kofi, who was left without much of a situation to swallow, watched the faithful back of walking away.

"The next time I see you on the battlefield, I'll make sure you put up a fight."

And when he snapped, without pursuing Maida and Asano, who were both walking away from his sight, he gathered his soldiers together, and bewitched the feathers of the ephemeral colour, and returned to the main circle with freshness.

Well, the war situation was exactly when Chang Xiao issued the decree, and a large crowd was never there.

The liquor roller squad, which was laying a leeward formation at Shimo Ninja Castle, defeated Ishida Squad when it caused enormous damage.

And Shibazaki Squad, who was forced to reach Daimon, also got the help of Masaki Squad and defeated Daiya Squad.

Shortly afterwards, Masaki Squad, the Parade Squad, defeated the Asano Squad in the form behind him when he arrived at the most intense battle.

Toyotomi army retreating from the soldiers one after the other.

On the other hand, when Narita Army gathered all its troops in the square in front of Honmaru, Masaki Tambo Shosho, who was very active, rose to victory.

"Eh! Whoa! Whoa!

- No! Whoa! Whoa!

"Eh! Whoa! Whoa!

- No! Whoa! Whoa!

Nagata's elder parents are smiling from the high column on the top floor of Honmaru.

To deliver such joy to him, the soldiers of Narita's army, all looking at his face, shoved up one hand with victory.

The sky is more and more cloudy.

But Narita's army at this time was surrounded by fresh, hot air like a clear blue sky everywhere, just like the mid-summer sky that preceded the season.

But... the day after this.

The castle of Odawara, protected by the ruler Kitajo, fell.

And...

With the fall of Odawara Castle, Ninja Castle lost its meaning to fight, opening on July 16, Tianzheng 19 (1590).

And it came to pass a month and a half ago, that the battle of Ninja Castle was thus closed.

But that didn't finish the conversation.

Because at this time, the general of the Toyotomi army, Sansei Ishida, told me one impossible problem.

- Up to one horse's share of luggage to be taken out of the castle. It's going to take longer than that, so leave it.

Needless to say, the castle rebelled violently against this.

So much so that some of them even breathed "I can't fight a war".

"Trouble... trouble..."

Thus, even after the battle of Ninja Castle was over, the Admiral, Nagata's elder father, remained in distress and roared all the time.

It should be noted that the problem with the luggage to be taken out has since come from Toyotomi Hideyoshi

"Sakichi is a jerk!! You just have to let me take everything you want to take out!!

That's not all!!

Those who leave the castle fought against me until the end!

Give him rice for the reward!!

That is the generosity of Toyotomi!!

There was an agreement that it was resolved successfully.
