In a few moments, Sena Shitoshi, who was ambushed on the other side of the Tarakusa, received a messenger from Yu Qiuping. The messenger holds Imagawa Yoshimoto's arrow, which is now in the custody of Yu Qiuping, and declares that everything is business as usual.

"I didn't expect the heavy rain to really come as scheduled." Sena Shijun smiled with relief, "Momiji, how much more skills do you have that I don't know." Sena Shijun passed the order to the 2,800 soldiers in the east, "Send an order, inform the whole army of our battle plan, so as not to shake the morale of the army." Sena Bei, protect the sedan chair and horse seal of the Governor's Palace! The troops who were lying in ambush on the mountainside retreated a little further to avoid detection. ”

At the same time, the Geshan clan in the Gudu path also received a messenger from Yu Qiuping, ordering his subordinates to be on strict alert and continue to repair the fortifications.

In less than three moments, the Imagawa army east of Nakajima and Ōtaka Castle received a messenger from the main camp.

"The plan is correct." The commander of the Northern Route Army, Yoshishi Miura, nodded after reading it. Although he has always looked down on Yu Qiuping, a nouveau riche, he has to say that the plan he and the family governor made together this time is indeed flawless. His own movements, the other party's movements, the movements of the wealthy family, and even the weather were all calculated by him in the plan. "The whole army entered and occupied Zhongdao and joined the Southern Route Army. Accept the moderation of His Royal Highness Asahina and His Royal Highness Okabe! ”

"Good, everything was planned." The commander of the Southern Route Army smiled at Hinatai Chao and said, "Zenshoji Temple, Nakajima and Tange have all been abandoned by the Oda family, and our whole army will immediately transport grain into Narumi Castle!" Wait until the Oda army is defeated and retreat, immediately go out of the city to the east, and cut off the Oda family's retreat back to Owari! ”

At this time, on a large tree on the southwest slope of the barrel sagama, several Tokiwa who were in charge of the lookout were ready to take a shot, and from a distance they saw the southwest side, and the banner of the Oda Army appeared. When Yu Qiuping heard the news, he immediately climbed the tree to take a look, and found that the troops of the Oda family were pulling out the banners and flags on the official road in the distance, hoping to sneak up to the Tarakuyama. Indeed, if it weren't for the Imagawa family looking out over the valley, the Imagawa army in the hills would certainly not have been able to spot the Oda army that was quietly advancing. Yu Qiuping hurriedly sent a signal to inform the Imagawa army at the bottom of the valley and the Sena clan on the eastern slope.

The Oda army advanced rapidly along the official road, gradually detouring from the southwest of Yuakihei to the northwest, which was the low-lying entrance to the Barrel Narrows hills. At the moment when Oda Nobunaga's troops arrived, the rain suddenly intensified, and at the same time, a westerly wind, which was rare in the season, blew. The raindrops the size of beans were blown by the wind and blew towards the main camp of the Imagawa army in the narrow room of the Taraku, and the Oda army, who was windy, found that the Imagawa army was blown so that they couldn't open their eyes, and they hid under tents and trees to avoid the rain, without any guard! And Imagawa Yoshimoto's horse seal is in the array!

Perhaps, God really favored this Warring States Fengyun, if it were not for the Yuqiuhei traverser, Imagawa Yoshimoto would really die in the hands of the son of Oda Nobunaga, the son of the plane.

"The soldiers are fast, come with the rest!" Oda Nobunaga pulled the reins of his horse, and the warhorse man stood up and let out an earth-shattering neigh. "The god of hot weather is bless us! It rained so much, take advantage of the rain to break the enemy! ”

"Charge the whole army! The Great Myojin is bless us! "It seems that in response to the roar of the Warring States Period, God sent down a thunderbolt. After the lightning, the violent thunder was deafening, and the ashigaru men of the Imagawa army's main camp looked up in surprise in the direction where the thunder came from in the west. But there was no lightning to be seen—instead, two thousand soldiers of Oda Nobunaga tore through the rain curtain!

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! The first few Imagawa ieshigaru shouted in panic. After all, they are the troops directly under the direct jurisdiction of Imagawa Yoshimoto, and among these 1,000 soldiers, there are 300 samurai, so they are naturally not slow to react.

"Array, defend here! Don't let Owari rush into the Chinese army! Two or three generals who happened to be on the front line immediately commanded their subordinates to hurriedly dress up neatly and try to face the wind and rain. Since the Imagawa army had only intended to rest here for a short time, they did not build an outer wall or a trench at all, but simply set up some camps. At the moment, there are absolutely no fortifications to rely on.

A series of warnings and sirens sounded in the Imagawa family's position, and more and more ashigaru people hurried back from the rain shelter and tried to form a formation. However, due to the confusion of the system, the roads are narrow and crowded.

At this time, the vanguard of the Oda family, Shibata Bei and Moribei, had already come forward, and the Imagawa family had less than a hundred soldiers to complete the formation, and they resisted under the command of several generals. Takagi was a samurai of the Imagawa family, and at the moment he was engaged in one of the toughest battles of his life. Although just before the start of the battle, His Highness Yuqiu and His Highness Sena informed them of the plan and deployment of the battle, and their troops in the hills and low-lying areas only needed to deceive and lure the enemy. But that doesn't mean he's willing to really fail! If it is really crushed here, even if the ambushes on both sides are killed in time, the luring enemy troops will pay huge casualties. The surrounding ashigaru are all brothers who have been with him for a long time, so naturally he can't watch them die.

So, as one of several generals at the forefront, he immediately commanded his subordinates to assemble and began to resist. Due to the relatively spacious space at the front, he gathered the forty or so people he had assigned to him before the Oda family rushed forward.

However, the ferocity of the Oda Army was far beyond his imagination. Today's Oda Army, unlike the Ashigaru who was nicknamed "the weakest Owari soldier in the world" in the past, is not a person at all, and one by one it is as if possessed by a god, frantically attacking their own defense line.

Originally, according to the high combat power of the troops directly under the Imagawa family, even in the face of such an enemy, they would not be at a disadvantage. However, the worst thing is the heavy rain! This rainstorm can fall at any time, why choose it at this time - this time when the wind direction is so unfavorable! The bean-sized rain was carried by the wind, and many of the Imagawa family around Takagi Masashi didn't hit him a few times, and they had to free up their hands to wipe their faces, otherwise the rain would make it impossible to open their eyes at all, and the people on the front line even had to squint to fight. The Oda army did not have such a problem, and the rain fell on their necks and the back of their heads, and it did not have any effect at all. Unable to concentrate on the battle, the Imagawa army was defeated and retreated, and from time to time someone was stabbed to the ground because of the carelessness of the moment when he wiped his eyes. The Imagawa family, who had palpitations, did not dare to be distracted anymore, but because of the rain, they could not see the enemy clearly and did not dare to attack, so they could only constantly retreat to seek support from their companions.

But it is not a way to push it like this, and the weak troops on the front line of the Imagawa family cannot withstand the attrition. After a while, many parts of the defense line were torn open, and the Oda family took the opportunity to rush in, and the Imagawa family was forced to retreat in embarrassment, but was squeezed by the Imagawa family who was trying to form a formation behind the formation.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Takagi shouted anxiously, but before he could utter the next sentence, a spear suddenly pierced his lower abdomen. The sharp pain in his abdomen made him look back in disbelief, and a dozen ashigaru in front of him had been killed in the heavy rain. Before he could react, there was another sharp pain in his abdomen, and another spear pierced into his abdomen. Blood gushed out of his mouth in a big gulp, and his last thought before he died was to slander Yuakihei and Sena Shitoshi.

"There's no need for any deception... This kind of heavy rain can't be stopped! ”

While the battle was in full swing in the barrel room, the Imagawa army of Narumi Castle was deployed according to the deployment. After the Southern Route Army led by Asahina Tai and the Northern Route Army led by Miura Yoshinori converged, they did not enter Narumi Castle, but set up camp around the east side of Narumi Castle and waited for the arrival of Oda's army. Okabe Masatsuna led the rest of the Okabe family's troops, escorting a large number of grain convoys, into Narumi Castle. Nearly 5,000 people from the Okabe family were stationed inside Narumi Castle, and outside Narumi Castle there were nearly 10,000 camps from the Imagawa family.

The defeat of the Imagawa family's main camp was inevitable, and the narrow hills left the rout with nowhere to escape, and they had to constantly roll the battle line behind them, shattering all the samurai's hopes of trying to regroup. Nearly 1,000 of the Imagawa family's main camp were pursued by the Oda family in the pouring rain and fled backwards, and the flags of the two lead were scattered everywhere. As the Oda family continues to pursue, they are getting closer and closer to the place where Imagawa Yoshimoto Mayin is!

Oda Nobunaga urged the horses and led his subordinates to charge together with the horses. In his spare light, he saw more than a dozen Oda family ashigaru cutting off the head of the deceased Imagawa family ashigaru to remember the merit, and he couldn't help but angrily whip it up, and roared angrily: "Don't take the head!" Don't take the head! Give it all up! ”

Oda Nobunaga waved his horsewhip and went straight to the horse seal of Imagawa Yoshimoto: "I only want the head of Imagawa Jibu!" Offensive! Don't stop! ”

Under the urging of Oda Nobunaga and the mother of clothing, all the Oda family Ashigaru gave up the decapitation and instead swarmed towards the location of Imagawa Yoshimoto's Akatori banner. Sensing the Oda family's intentions, the Imagawa family banners and samurai turned back to meet the enemy with their deployments, hoping to hinder their advance towards Imagawa Yoshimoto's location. However, they were immediately outnumbered in the storm and fell into the Ashigaru of the Oda family.

Within six minutes, the heavy rain gradually stopped, and the advantage of Oda's army was not as great as before. But fortunately, the Imagawa family's main camp had no desire to fight, and the soldiers and auxiliaries fled back one after another. Even Imagawa Yoshimoto's horse seal began to shake, and he was surrounded by the army and left backwards. Oda Nobunaga saw that Imagawa Yoshimoto was about to escape, and if he was allowed to escape back to the 2,000 soldiers of the rear army, there would be no hope! He heedlessly urged the horses and mothers to join him in galloping through the muddy and chaotic hills, cutting down everyone who stood in his way, and rushed towards Imagawa Yoshimoto's horse seal!
