Chapter 154: Barrel Narrowness (6)

At first, the Imagawa army, who was in the chaos on the front line, did not realize what the Oda army wanted to do, but felt glad that the Oda family ashigaru was not attacking them. Until they realized that the Oda army, led by Oda Nobunaga, went straight to Imagawa Yoshimoto's horse seal!

"Stop him! Block them! The Imagawa family's flag warriors shouted one after another, but because they already knew Yu Qiuping's battle plan, everyone did not actively move forward to stop them. Instead, they relied on the camps, trees, and rocks on both sides of the road to avoid the attacks of the Oda army. Oda Nobunaga was unaware of the danger in front of him, but thought that the Imagawa army had lost the confidence to resist, and shouted loudly and rushed towards Imagawa Yoshimoto's horse seal.

The Imagawa army Ashigaru and the samurai, who were blocking the location of Oda Nobunaga and Imagawa Yoshimoto, saw the menacing Oda army and scattered to both sides, as if the waves had been split by a reef. It wasn't until the horse seal got closer and closer to Oda Nobunaga that even the lines on the wings of the Akatori banner were clearly visible.

The situation was chaotic, and the Imagawa army fled in all directions, so that there were not many people under the banner of the Akatori army.

I saw that under the military flag, only dozens of flag warriors were clustering around a sedan chair and fleeing towards the rear.

"Imagawa Yoshimoto! Take your life! Maeda Toshiya, who rushed to the front, roared and rode his horse first. The red spear in his hand slashed down with great force from the top left to the right, and at once the body of a samurai of the Imagawa family who was blocking the way was cut apart, and the other two samurai who tried to come forward to meet were also knocked down by the war horse. At this moment, the other two samurai who were stuck in time stabbed Maeda Toshiie's horse with a knife. The war horse neighed, and he lay down helplessly on the ground, and Maeda Toshiya was also thrown off the horse. Several other samurai from the surrounding area hurried up and swung their swords to help Maeda Toshiya block the fatal sword. At this time, the other Oda army Ashigaru also went to war with dozens of Samurai Banners around Imagawa Yoshimoto. The Imagawa military banner warriors were outnumbered in time, and they still shouted for a fierce battle, fighting to the death and not retreating.

Taking advantage of the desperate resistance of the Imagawa family's mothers, I saw that the curtain of the sedan chair was suddenly opened, and then, a person in a gorgeous court dress fled to the rear in a hurry surrounded by several other mothers.

"Imagawa Yoshimoto is going to run! Yoshimoto Imagawa is going to run! Ikeda saw Imagawa Yoshimoto at a glance, and hurriedly shouted loudly and rushed towards Imagawa Yoshimoto. The surrounding Oda family's mothers and horses gave up entanglement with the enemy forces in front of them, and instead fought and walked, covering the friendly cavalry in the middle of the road and rushing straight towards Imagawa Yoshimoto's location.

At this time, several of Imagawa Yoshimoto's stables were trying to help Imagawa Yoshimoto onto the horse, but the wide court robe became a fatal burden at this time, and Imagawa Yoshimoto tried several times but failed to get on the horse, while Ikeda Hengxing had already led people to the front.

"Turn around and attack!" One of them, who looked like the leader, had red eyes and commanded sharply. The few remaining stables turned to resist, but they were still quickly drowned in the torrent of the Oda army, but this also bought Imagawa Yoshimoto time to escape. At this time, the other Samurai also realized that the target of the Oda Army was the Governor himself, and they surrounded him from all directions. Imagawa Yoshimoto also staggered towards his own camp, seeing that the Oda army was about to lose its chance.

At that critical moment, Imagawa Yoshimoto suddenly tripped over his wide court clothes! Sasa Narumasa jumped up and slashed directly at Imagawa Yoshimoto's back. Blood sprayed out of his back in an instant, staining the snow-white court clothes. Yoshimoto Imagawa struggled to get up, but couldn't move because he was involved in a back wound. The samurai of the Imagawa family who came nearby rushed forward to rescue, but they were blocked by the Oda family's mothers who arrived later, and had to watch-

Imagawa Yoshimoto was beheaded by Sasa Naimasa. The white face, covered in powder, was now dyed red with donated blood. The two ink blots above the eyes were slightly distorted, as if they were crying, and as if they were mocking the Oda army who had rushed over. The blood in the neck sprayed on the ground after the rain at once.

Sasa Naimasa excitedly turned over and dismounted, shouting wildly to pick the head of Imagawa Yoshimato on the tip of the knife. The old Oda family ashigaru immediately fell into ecstasy, and Oda Ashigaru, who had not participated in the battle, raised their weapons one after another, cheered, prayed, and thanked the gods for this victory.

"Imagawa Osabu has been taken by our army Sasa Naimasa!" Oda Nobunaga stepped forward immediately, cut down Imagawa Yoshimoto's horse seal with a sword, and roared, "Wait! Don't kneel down yet! ā€

"Wait! Don't kneel down yet! Oda Ashigaru shouted similarly, as if victory was at hand.

However, to everyone's surprise, there was certainly a change in the expression on the faces of all the Imagawa family ashigaru around them. But it wasn't panic and the six gods, but a faint sadness, and that kind of admiration and respect for the great samurai.

The Imagawa family, who was still panicked just now, retreated one after another, formed a formation under the command of the general and his generals, and waited quietly on both sides of the road.

There was no panic because the boss was killed, and there was no rush to regain the first place because the lord was killed. Instead, he silently stared at the low-lying corridor, with the Oda Army at the head of Imagawa Yoshitoshi in the middle.

"Imagawa Osabe is dead! Don't kneel down yet, please surrender! Oda Nobunaga was a little panicked for a while, and once again yelled to hide his inner uneasiness.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Suddenly, behind the south-eastern hillside of Tianle Narrow, three drums sounded. Immediately afterwards, another Akatori military flag and a sedan chair were sent to the top of the hill surrounded by many Sena troops, proudly looking at the Oda army in the narrow room of Taraku. The air was suddenly silent, and the sounds of fighting on the battlefield, the shouts of the Oda army, and the clash of swords all stopped for a moment.

"That's—" Sena's voice came from the other side of the hill, shattering the silence over the battlefield.

The eight hundred soldiers of the Sena family stood on the hillside, took a deep breath, and shouted in unison, "Shadow-Warrior!" ā€

"Oops!" The Oda army was taken aback, as if he had fallen from the top of the mountain into the abyss at once. The joy of winning just now suddenly turned into unprecedented fear and panic. All the strange actions of the Imagawa family have also been explained, and the previous resistance was so scattered, all to lure the Oda family deeper into the barrel saga. And the one who was killed was only a stand-in for Imagawa Yoshimoto, so his subordinates naturally did not panic. If there is a stand-in arranged here, it means that the Imagawa family has already calculated the surprise attack of the Oda family at the beginning - the main camp of the barrel Sasama is just a trap! And Imagawa Yoshimoto himself is on the top of the hill at this time!

As soon as he finished speaking, Sena's banner waved violently. The 200 archers on the top of the slope immediately bent their bows and began to shoot at the bottom of the valley, and the rain of arrows rushed to their faces, and the troops of the Oda family were caught off guard, and many people were shot at once. The samurai have good defense, and the feathered arrows don't cause much damage. But the inferior armor and cotton armor on the ashigaru could not stop the archers' condescending shots.

"Your Highness! Withdraw! What a trap! We've been tricked! Maeda Toshiya held a piece of armor in front of Oda Nobunaga's horse, helping him cover the feather arrows while he hurriedly admonished.

"Your Highness, if you don't withdraw now, it will really be over!" Kawajiri Hidetaka stepped forward and said urgently: "If the main formation here is just a trap, then the troops of Narumi City will definitely burn the three rock barricades and cut off our back road!" We have no way back! ā€

"There's still a chance!" Naomasa Naomasa panicked and suggested, "You can return to Gudu from the path north of here!" Although the army may not be spared, they are willing to fight to the death and protect the lord! ā€

"Fight to the death! The protector is thoughtful! The surrounding stables and mother-clothed crowds also leaned over and shouted in unison. The rain of arrows was still coming in waves, and many ashigaru were shot because they were caught off guard. More scattered in search of cover. In order to charge, the archers of the Oda family were left at the back of the line, and at this time, many people were blocked outside the barrel narrow hills, and they could not enter the support at all.

Oda Nobunaga held the Hasebe Kunishige in his hand deadly, his eyes were red, and he trembled and looked at the proud Akatori military flag on the mountain, and the sedan chair next to the military flag. He understands that everything is going to be over. Completely fell into the trap of Imagawa Jibu, the army was not spared, and Nakono Castle and Kiyoshu Castle couldn't even muster the strength of the guards. The local tyrants and wealthy clans from all over the country will surely fall to the Imagawa family like the wind, and the rule of the Oda family will fall apart.

Finished.

Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, as if he had found a life-saving straw in a desperate situation!

"Are you afraid of death?" Oda Nobunaga suddenly shouted.

"Don't be afraid!" The surrounding stables and mother-clothed people subconsciously responded.

"Be louder! I can't hear you! Oda Nobunaga roared again.

"Don't be afraid!" This time, more of the Oda family's samurai roared in unison.

"Louder!" Oda Nobunaga excitedly pulled the reins of his horse, and the warhorse man stood up and let out a terrible neigh.

"Don't be afraid!" The hundreds of Oda family ashigaru and the samurai of the former army shouted loudly!

"Although there are shadow warriors in the governance department, there are only a few hundred people around him now! What if there is an ambush, what is there to be afraid of! The moment the front hooves of Oda Nobunaga's war horse landed, he clamped the horse's belly and led his subordinates to rush towards the horse prints on the hillside, "If you are not afraid of death, come back with the rest!" Kill the Governor! ā€

Oda Nobunaga's roar seemed to rekindle the sluggish morale of the Oda army. Everyone also realized that although they were ambushed, as long as they fought to the death, they still had a chance to capture Imagawa Yoshimoto himself in one fell swoop!

"Kill!" The Oda army responded to the lord's pride with a roar, and the Oda army rushed up again, rushing towards Imagawa Yoshimoto's horse seal and palanquin!

On the other side of the hill, Yu Qiuhei was looking at Oda Nobunaga in amazement, and crashed headlong into Sena's position.
