Guidie, who was on Oda Nobunaga's side, was the wife of the samurai and the daughter of Mino Viper, so he naturally sensed the danger. Oda Nobunaga's meal can be said to be a farewell. She didn't say anything more, but silently instructed the maid to go and report, and then helped Oda Nobunaga change into a set of array of feathers.

By the time Oda Nobunaga arrived at the lobby, everyone was already waiting there. It can be seen that except for the young Wonder Pill, Cha Whisk Pill and the others are still a little drowsy, and they don't know that now may be the last time they see their father, and the others are all solemn, obviously sleepless all night.

Oda Nobunaga saw that everyone was waiting for him to move his chopsticks, and he didn't make much humility, not even a few words of condolence, so he picked up the bowl and put it in his mouth, and ate it in a big gulp. The rest of the crowd obviously didn't have the same appetite as he did, and Yoshino Ikoma, as Oda Nobunaga's favorite side-gaze, was just as sad as Saito Guidie, unable to eat anything, and looking at their husband with a worried face. A few children were still babbling to go back to bed, which made Oda Nobunaga laugh.

Oda Nobunaga took the chopsticks, walked up to Ikoma Yoshino with two children, rubbed the heads of Wonder Maru and Tea Whisk Maru with his two big hands, and asked Ikoma Yoshino, "What if Yu dies?" How should you? ”

"Your Highness... The expedition is imminent! You can't say such unlucky things! Ikoma Yoshino's tears fell at once, and Chu Chu bowed his head pitifully. The two children watched their mother cry in amazement, a little overwhelmed, and the tea whisk pill immediately cried as well.

"Then die for Yu." Oda Nobunaga chuckled, and after watching Ikoma Yoshino nod solemnly, he stood up. Looking at Saito Guidie, "Nong, beat the drum for me." As he spoke, he casually tied his lower clothes a few times, pulled out the folding fan around his waist, and danced to the sound of Saito's butterfly drums, singing the song. On both sides of the lobby, there are two rows of lights, flickering on and off, dancing in the darkness.

"I don't think it's a very good place to stay here..."Oda Nobunaga sang a mournful and tragic tune in a deep magnetic voice to the beat of the drums. Yes, how does this small Cheongju make Yu's permanent residence? What can accommodate Yu Nobunaga is either the unparalleled Xiongcheng in the world, or the underworld!

"The swiftness of floating life is subtle, especially the white dew in the grass, and the moon in the water." The short life of the remaining 26 years is about to move towards a turning point in fate. Either from now on, or the soul will return to the Santu River. Yu treated his father like this, killed his teacher, and stabbed his younger brother, he must have gone to the underworld!

"The people who sing flowers in the Golden Valley Garden are tempted by the impermanence of the wind, and the dream of glory is early to rest."

"The people of the bright moon in the south building are covered by the clouds of promise, and they pass away before the bright moon."

The rich man of the Western Jin Dynasty of the Ming Kingdom, the saint of tea and the saint of books, still cannot escape the fate of returning to dust. How can Yu Nobunaga be virtuous, and how can he escape this fate?

"Fifty years in the world, compared to Lotte is like a dream and an illusion."

Oda Nobunaga opened the folding fan in his hand with a "brush", and with a dance of his horizontal arm, all the fires in the left row were immediately blown out by the folding fan, and the room was half dark. Oda Nobunaga turned around and danced again, and the fire on the other side disappeared all at once. Inside the house, only the cold moonlight shone on his simple face.

God, if you really have eyes, don't let Yu live past the age of fifty! Fifty years, compared with the 800-year position of one day and one night in Huale Tian, it is just a dream! So, what's the point of living more? Yu's life should be as gorgeous and short as cherry blossoms. Why pursue a long life?

Because.

"He who was once alive is not perishable!"

Oda Nobunaga's voice suddenly rose and he uttered this last sentence. His footsteps flew around, jumped to the cloister outside the door, and threw the folding fan in his hand high into the sky.

"Oh my God! I'm going to gamble my life with you! Oda Nobunaga shouted at the sky, "You! Do you dare? ”

"Monkey! Get my shoes! "Oda Nobunaga put on his hat under the service of Saito Guidie, and put on his love sword, Hasebe Kunishige.

"Your Highness! Your Highness! Kinoshita Toyoshiro trotted all the way over, and suddenly knelt down in front of Oda Nobunaga, "Little Bucai, I am willing to live and die with the lord!" ”

"Ambitious monkey, keep up!" Oda Nobunaga kicked away Kinoshita Toyoshiro who was kneeling on the ground and laughed. At this time, Niwa Nagahide received an alert from the border and hurried to the castle tower with his deployment, where he met Oda Nobunaga, who was heading to the stables with his mother's clothes and stables.

"My lord! Aren't you sticking to Cheongju anymore? Niwa Nagahide asked in surprise.

"Nope! You're here to stay! I'm going to face Yoshimoto Imagawa in person! Oda Nobunaga snorted coldly, "Yonegoro, you remember. If the news of my defeat comes today, you will burn it all for me!" With tens of thousands of people in Cheongju City, give Yu a funeral! ”

As the clattering hooves of horses broke the silence of the night sky, Oda Nobunaga led the two hundred cavalrymen of the Red and Black Mothers, as well as the horses, with torches, to tear through the night alone, and went south from Cheongju Castle to the border.

The important ministers and wealthy families who received the notice also took the troops assembled in the collar and turned towards Oda Nobunaga's main team.

"Lord, Shibata Katsuya led his subordinates to follow!" The sound of an urn clattering came from a distance, and another team with torches quickly approached.

"Quan Liu, throw away the auxiliaries, only bring the soldiers, and keep up!"

"My lord, Ikeda Hengxing led his troops to follow!" Ikeda's excited voice came from afar.

"Boy, throw away the auxiliaries, bring only the soldiers, and keep up!"

"Young lord, the old minister Okada Shigezen led his troops to follow!" During the Oda Nobuhide era, the old flag of the Oda family, with a few scattered subordinates, came from afar.

"Uncle, keep up!"

"Lord, Takigawa Ichiyi led the department to follow!" In order to make up for the mistake of poor investigation before, Takigawa Kazuki broke his blood and mobilized every man who could go into battle.

"Hikoemon, throw down the auxiliaries, bring only the soldiers, and keep up!"

……

The group gathered more and more, and by the time they arrived at Atsuta Shrine at four quarters of the hour, nearly 2,000 soldiers had been assembled. All the auxiliaries and baggage were abandoned by Oda Nobunaga, each carrying only one day's rations to show his determination to break the ship.

"Lord, abandon the minister Maeda Toshiya, come and follow alone!" I saw that in the shrine, Maeda Toshiya took it upon himself to insert the Oda family's papaya-patterned flag, and the prancing horse held a gun and rushed towards the team.

"Inuchiyo, keep up!" Oda Nobunaga roared excitedly, and after high-fived Maeda Toshiya who rode by, he turned over and dismounted, led two thousand subordinates, and surrounded Atsuta Jingu in the middle, and he himself strode into the shrine, and the presiding officer of the shrine hurriedly greeted him and handed Oda Nobunaga some sacrifices for worship and blessing.

Oda Nobunaga waved his hand disdainfully, walked straight to the incense burner, grabbed a handful of cigarette ash, and smashed it at the foot of the hot day god, and the ash smashed on the foot with a dull sound.

"Hot Heaven Great Mingshen, Yu orders you to bless our army to victory!" Oda Nobunaga shouted: "Otherwise, when the rest of the hell is gone, I will take the Yama in hell and personally knock you down!" ”

Oda Nobunaga walked out of the shrine, turned on his horse, and shouted to his two thousand loyal subordinates: "The hot day god has felt our heart!" It will bless us - Wuyun is prosperous! ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, dedicate your loyalty to the Oda family!"

At two o'clock, outside the city. The sun had fully risen, and the visibility had reached a point where a full-scale siege was possible.

After the tentative attack ended, Asahina was attacking Washizu. Yesterday they had already built the proposed battering ram and ladder in Nawa, and at this moment, they were being pushed by the auxiliaries and rushed towards the rock bar.

"Archers, cover shot!" Asahinatai ordered the archers under his command to quickly advance sixty meters outside the rock, bullying the lack of archers in the defenders of the rock, and unceremoniously went to close range and began shooting. Nearly 300 archers threw round after round and fired peacefully one after another, suppressing the Oda archers at the head of the rock wall and unable to get up. Three ladders were also erected on the wall less than four meters away, and immediately a samurai began to take the lead in climbing the ladders. At the same time, under the cover of the shield soldiers, the battering ram troops also rushed to the edge of the gate, using heavy battering rams, shouting trumpets, and hitting the wall one by one.

"It's really strong! It is worthy of the Asahina family. The guard general Itao Dingzong sighed. He went to the front line and commanded his auxiliaries to smash the allets, which had been stored for many months, and the rolling stones at the battering ram team under the city walls and the soldiers climbing on the ladders. For a while, it actually limited Asahina's offensive. Although the gate was loosened, it was clear that there was a large number of Oda family ashigaru behind the gate. And although Asahina Bishigaru on the cloud ladder climbed to the top of the castle, he was also killed by the Oda family's Ashigaru, limiting the number of people they could go up to the wall. However, under the fierce offensive of the Asahina family, the Oda army is constantly being consumed, and it is estimated that it will not last long.

"Big brother! I got it! Asahina Taehyung clenched his fists excitedly, and without waiting for his brother's order, he led four or five guards around the ladder and went straight to the camp wall. The attention of the Oda archers and infantry on the camp wall was focused on the rams and ladders, and they did not pay much attention to the few men who did not carry siege equipment. Two of the four or five guards stood with their backs against the camp wall and stepped down. Asahina Taehyung started running a few steps away, shouted loudly, stepped on the shoulders of the two men, and leaped so far that his hands reached the edge of the wall. He slammed his arms hard, pulled sideways, and his body rolled over with the momentum, and he rushed to the wall.

A dozen or so Oda family auxiliaries around were carrying stones towards the location where there was a ladder, and they were taken aback by the sudden appearance of Asahina Taehiro. Asahina Taehyung didn't say much, drew his knife in his hand, raised and fell in his hand, and slashed and killed several Oda family auxiliaries who were caught off guard in a row, and there was chaos on the city wall. Just behind him, another ladder was pushed up against the wall behind him, and Ashigaru immediately climbed up the ladder.

Seeing the situation, the nearby Oda Gunashigaru hurriedly rushed forward waving his spear. Although Asahina Taehyung was alone, he was not afraid and swung his sword to meet him. He turned around and let go of a spear that had stabbed him, and slashed it with his sword. At this moment, two more Oda Ieashishiki spears stabbed at his side, and he leaned back sharply, watching as the two spears stabbed the ground above his face. He held the tip of the spear he had just snatched in one hand and the knife in the other, and slammed into the gap between the two spears. With a flick of his left hand, the tip of the gun came out of his hand, and a light eyebrow on the side of the center. With his right hand, he slashed horizontally, and the other two ashigaru in front of him were also cut down. Taking advantage of the chaos in the Oda family, he rushed forward to fight in close quarters, and slashed four ashigaru in succession. After seeing that the attack on this side was contained, he immediately reflexively rushed to the other side, and another dazzling knife flicker, and three or four ashigaru were cut to the ground by him.

It was also during this time that the Asahina family on the ladder continued to pour up the walls, and the area controlled by Asahina on the city wall became larger and larger. Oda Ieashigaru, who tried to fight back, was immediately hit by a concentrated attack by the archers and was forced to stagnate.

"Follow me! Beat them back! Seeing that the situation was gradually getting out of control, Iio Dingmune was in a hurry, and personally took a dozen ashigaru and samurai along the wall and rushed towards the place where Asahina Taihyung was.

"Young master, we have already landed in the city, please retreat and rest!" Several samurai of the Asahina family saw that Iio Dingzong was menacing, and they were unwilling to let Asahina Taihyung continue to take risks, so they stepped forward and pulled Asahina Taiheng's armor to admonish.

"Wait until I've cleaned up and retreat." Asahina Taehyung pretended to agree, and as soon as the two samurai let go, he immediately drew his sword in his hand and rushed forward.

"Young master! Didn't you say pack up and retreat! A few samurai screamed badly and hurried up to cover both sides of Asahina Taehyung.

"When I've cleaned up the walls, I'll retreat!" Asahina Taehyung looked at Iio Seizun who rushed in front of him and snorted disdainfully.

"Milky kid, what a big breath!" Iio Dingzong roared and waved his knife to meet him, "Within three moves, see me solve you!" ”

"You don't need three moves, just one move." Asahina Taehyung smiled, and even more angrily made Iio Dingzong angry.

Iio Dingzong made a powerful downward slash, and instead of retreating towards Bina Taehyung, he quickly turned around in front of him, and used his back back to face Iio Dingzong, put the knife on his back, and resisted this blow with a move Su Qin's back sword. Just when Iio was wondering why Asahina Taehyung was defending with such a strange posture, the next moment, Asahina Taehyung had already used the power of turning to unload Ibio Dingmune's lower slash to the side, and when he turned around, it was a horizontal slash. The door of the Rice Tail Dingzong was wide open, and he couldn't dodge, and he was directly cut in the chest and abdomen, and Gu Zu was instantly chopped apart, blood splattered, and he fell down with a muffled snort.

"I said, just one move." Asahina Taichao raised his katana in his hand and chuckled.

"Your Highness! Your Highness! Several of the surrounding samurai rushed up like crazy, trying to snatch the body of their master, but they were dealt with with by Asahina Taehyung and a few samurai who arrived. Seeing that the entire wall was on the verge of being lost, and the head of the family was still being taken in front of the battle, the Oda army on the wall had no intention of resisting and retreated into the wall one after another. The gate of Washizu was also broken by the ram, and Asahina Tai personally commanded the gate to attack the gate, while the two troops were outflanked from both sides to prevent the Oda army from escaping. Oda Genbo was caught off guard, and in a hurry he wanted to adjust the formation to stick to the center of the rock, but he was broken by Asahina in one fell swoop, and he was also taken.

After the fall of Washizu, it was immediately burned by Asahina. Asahina and Udenbei, who attacked the castle, killed Marune at the same time. Marune's defenders immediately fell into a panic.

"Your Highness! It's a big deal! A lookout ran to Sakuma Morishige, who was directing the battle at the south gate, with a sad face, "The west gate, the north gate, all here!" The brethren are understaffed! ”

Sakuma took a heavy look at the surging Imagawa army, which was estimated to have numbered more than 5,000 and the number of soldiers close to 2,000. And the defenders in his entire Marugen Fortress were only more than 500 people and 200 soldiers. Under the control of the Matsudaira family, he didn't even have the extra forces to defend the entire wall. And the dozens of cavalry prepared by Asahina also cut off any hope of their retreat.

"That's it." Sakuma laughed miserably, "The ancestor treated me like a mountain, and I am by no means greedy for life and afraid of death. ”

"Don't burn it at the Imagawa family, herald! Ignite the pill roots! Sakuma gave the order to set fire to the village. At the same time, he personally drew his sword in his hand, commanded his subordinates to remove the wall, open the gate, and launched a decisive charge against Matsuhira Bei.

"My lord! I wish you all the best with my life - prosperity and prosperity! ”
