Although they had been fighting for nearly a whole day and night, Katsuie Shibata, Hideyoshi Kinoshita, Mitsuhide Akechi and others were still affected by the anxiety in their hearts and could not sleep peacefully.

Only Oda Nobunaga was calm, lying peacefully on the makeshift field shop paved with branches and firewood, and left a confident statement: "Don't worry! The Western Army will not attack at night! ”

His actions made quite a few of his soldiers, though not all, of course, feel at ease, and able to forget about the battle and concentrate on resting.

Then, as expected, the night was uneventful.

The Tieshou Honshu in the middle lane is still out of the city, and the Tokugawa Ieyasu and the head relatives of the Nagamune on the left and right sides have no intention of rushing, and the other small fish and shrimp are even more unlikely to make any moves.

In the early morning of the next day, when the sky was about to be half bright and half dark, Nobunaga woke up on time, nibbled on a few mouthfuls of dry food, quickly straightened his appearance, put on his armor with the help of his own soldiers, put on his armament, and then immediately saw the exhausted and exhausted Kinoshita Hideyoshi hurriedly came to ask for tactical questions-

"It is estimated that it will be besieged from three sides today, and I am afraid it will not be easy to deal with......"

Nobunaga had already prepared, but when he heard this, he just smiled and waved his hand to interrupt: "How can you sit still and wait for death, you should strike first." ”

Kinoshita Hideyoshi was stunned.

But Nobunaga didn't wait for him to react, he took a few steps back and forth, left and right, looked around at the situation of the soldiers around him, looked up at the sky and the hour, nodded and said to himself, "It's just right! After finishing speaking, he found a confidant and quietly ordered two whispers, and then shouted to the surrounding retainers and soldiers: "Those who still have the strength and the will to fight will come and fight with me!" ”

Then, regardless of it, he resolutely marched north.

Unexpectedly, everyone was surprised.

But in a moment, many soldiers responded excitedly and loudly, and hurried to follow with their swords.

Kinoshita Hideyoshi was stunned for a long time, and said in a daze: "At least the whole team should be formed first, how can it be so chaotic......"

But no one around him paid attention to him. The generals around him, such as Rice Field Da Cook, Qingshan Xinqi and others, all rubbed their hands and said: "At this moment, it is appropriate to win with momentum, how can you stick to mundane things?" ”

The "Monkey General" was speechless, and had no choice but to pick up his big gun and run forward.

It's too late to call up the soldiers.

At first, there were only a few dozen people around Nobunaga, but gradually there were two or three hundred people walking and walking, and most of the old people Omi followed after hearing the news. By the end of the hour, Kinoshita Hideyoshi caught up with the team out of breath, and it was seen that thousands of people had gathered, and there were many more who were a little slower behind.

Except for Takigawa Kazuki and Shibata Katsuya, who had other tasks, the other retainers basically arrived with only a small number of personal soldiers.

Enemy troops also loomed ahead.

Most of the time it was the Changzong Yuan Relatives Department who discovered the situation and hurriedly sent someone to resist.

At this time, Nobunaga stopped slightly, waved his sword and pointed forward, and shouted: "This time there is neither a trick to defeat the enemy, nor a magic formation, only the blood of the kings, how!" ”

"Fight to the death!" Next to him, Nonomura Masanari, who was born in the horses, roared angrily, and rushed forward with a spear like an arrow from a string.

"Fight to the death! Fight to the death! Fukutomi Hidekatsu, Nakajima Hidemasa, Tsugawa Yoshito, and many other close ministers followed suit and showed their determination with an attitude of breaking the boat.

Nobunaga was only a moment's slow, then he drew his blade, held it high, and shouted, "Retreat with me!" That is, without hesitation, he charged forward.

It's all about the momentum of "putting death to death".

People like Kinoshita Hideyoshi had never admired the pig's sudden advance, but seeing that their own bosses had already fought for their lives so recklessly, they naturally couldn't hold back any more, except to shoot themselves like projectiles.

Over there, Changzong's army was obviously a little hasty, although it was mainly spearmen, it did not form a close formation, but was quite loose. After encountering a fierce attack, he hurriedly responded with a small number of bows and iron cannons.

Originally, this did not constitute any substantial interference to the strong attack of the Oda army, but it was a coincidence that Nomura Masanari, who was rushing to the front, was very unfortunate to be hit by the bridge of his nose with an iron cannon projectile, and with an "ah" cry of pain, he fell to the ground on his side, and there was no response.

When the neighbors saw it, they couldn't help but slow down.

But Oda Nobunaga didn't care at all, and resolutely stepped over the corpse of Nonomura Masanari and rushed to the front.

The slightest doubt and timidity of the retainers evaporated, and they howled like wolves and tigers, and began to pounce forward in unison, slaughtering the enemy like a pack of hungry beasts.

There are many people behind who keep rushing forward, and it seems endless.

As soon as the battle was engaged, Changzong's army retreated again and again, busy parrying.

Oda's retainers tried their best to keep their boss at bay, but Nobunaga fearlessly rushed forward, slicing open the chest of one of his enemies, stabbing himself in the forearm.

It's just cooking oil.

The army of the Suma Chosō clan was defeated by the straggler charge of the Oda family, and gradually collapsed and collapsed.

The generals shouted to celebrate the victory, and were pleasantly surprised: "This group of Tosa people is not as good at fighting as they boasted, and we can take advantage of the victory to pursue and break through." ”

Oda Nobunaga shook his head and said, "The head of the sect is not a good person, and he should not be underestimated. Just now, it was just unprepared, and if it continues to fight for a long time, it will definitely fall into a quagmire. ”

After saying that, he rotated one hundred and eighty degrees on the spot, and pointed south: "Tsukawa, Asami, Morita ...... Wait here to continue the battle, and the rest will follow me to attack the Tokugawa army! ”

Everyone was surprised, and although they subconsciously followed back, they didn't know what it meant.

Oda Nobunaga was calm and calm, and he didn't explain.

Kinoshita Hideyoshi understood after some thought, but he was exhausted from running around, and he had to breathe for a long time before he had the strength to speak, and said to the left and right: "Breaking north, it's just a dead end." It is better to go south and cooperate with the Takenaka part of the east bank. Deal with the weakest Tokugawa army. If it goes well, there is a chance to return to the balance of power. Attacking Changzong's department is a plan to attack the west. ”

Some people questioned: "The Takenaka Army was still unwilling to actively fight yesterday, let alone today?" ”

Kinoshita Hideyoshi shook his head and pretended to be mysterious: "Our army in front of us is too brave, and the Takenaka Shigeji Hall will hesitate." Now that our army is at a disadvantage, the Takenaka Shigeji Hall will do its best to help. ”

As soon as they said this, some people understood, and then those who understood explained to those who didn't understand, and then they all suddenly understood.

For some reason, Oda Nobunaga, who is usually deaf and quick-eyed, didn't care about the reaction of his retainers at this time, and just ran wildly with his legs.

He completely abandoned the formation and organization, and led his men forward only with his charisma and prestige, as if he had degenerated from a 16th-century military strategist to a tribal chieftain in BC.

In this era when there is no military rank system, most of the soldiers fall into chaos once they can't see their direct superiors, they can't keep up with the rhythm and are left behind, they don't know how to act, and they can only subconsciously move blindly with the crowd.

Fewer than 2,000 people were huddled around Nobunaga.

However, in this way, it also saves a lot of time.

Defeated a small army of Chosamune's Motokin, then immediately turned around, and walked all the way south, and walked for more than an hour, only to meet Shibata Katsuie, who had just finished breakfast and was forming a team, preparing to fight Tokugawa.

Seeing Nobunaga, Shibata was very surprised: "My subordinates only saw a big move in this formation, and they were still thinking about what was going on, but I didn't expect that it was your old man who came to ...... in person."

Oda Nobunaga didn't know whether he was unwilling or speechless, nodded slightly, pointed forward, and led the charge without waiting for his own army to line up.

Shibata Katsuya was stunned, and after a moment of stunned, he hurriedly advised: "A strong attack may not be a good strategy, but the lord, you already have old injuries in your body, and you are not fully healed, if this happens......

But where can Oda Nobunaga hear it? The feet do not stop.

Shibata Katsuya was sweating profusely, anxious and helpless, hesitated for a while, handed over the troops to his nephew Sakuma Moriji, and kept up with Nobunaga's pace on his own.
