After listening to Oda Nobunaga's words, Sabei bowed his head to Oda Nobunaga and said, "Thank you, lord!" ”

Oda Nobunaga nodded after hearing this, and then returned to the main camp with the near side behind him. After Oda Nobunaga left, the Takigawa army gradually dispersed with the spoils of war. Sabei nodded at Takigawa Kazuki, and then began to direct the people hiding in the bushes to clean up the battlefield.

As the battle in front of the Oda army ended, the first group of people to fight Oda Nobutada's army began to break up. Oda Nobutada faced the sudden attack of the Nagashima army, and calmly commanded his troops to withstand their onslaught.

Oda Nobutada then gradually found that his army was firmly pinned down in the bushes, and Nagashima Kazuku, who was more familiar with the terrain than himself, seemed to inadvertently block the way for his troops to withdraw from the battle.

After a fierce battle, Oda Nobutada defeated the crowd like kraft candy. Looking back at the main camp where the fire was still shining, Oda Nobutada's eyes showed relief and a hint of guilt.

After chasing the scattered remnants of the enemy, Nobusumi Tsuda ordered his men to stop the pursuit. Tsuda Nobusumi looked at the retreating crowd in front of him in an orderly manner with some surprise, and then immediately reorganized the army that chased out of the bushes and lined up a battle formation outside the bushes.

Oda Nobutada, who withdrew his gaze from the main camp, stood in the heavy rain, and the raindrops poured on Oda Nobutada's body, but Oda Nobutada stood as if under a spell, standing in the bushes, letting the wind and rain blow. After standing in the rain for a long time, Oda Nobutada saw Tsuda Nobusumi return with his men.

Nobusumi Tsuda, who had a solemn face, looked at Oda Nobutada standing in the rain, and some of his fierce gaze collided with Oda Nobutada's watery gaze. After a few breaths, Oda Nobutada, who was standing in the rain, let out a sigh of relief, and then said to Tsuda Nobusumi in front of him: "Seven soldiers, I didn't expect that there would be such a skilled military strategy among the crowd. ”

Tsuda Nobusumi nodded, and said to Sabei: "Young master, please report this matter to the lord!" ”

At this time, Oda Nobunaga, who was in the formation, looked at Ma Hui who was kneeling on the ground in front of him, and there was a bit of appreciation, three points of anger, and something that Sabei couldn't see through.

Takigawa Kazuyi, who was sitting next to Oda Nobunaga's left hand, bowed his head and said to Oda Nobunaga: "My lord, there are also people in Nagashima City who are good at military strategy to guard it, and this person dares to use his elite as bait. ”

"Zuo Jin, needless to say, this time it is my family who has lost, and the strength of my family has been exposed, and Long Island City can formulate a more detailed defense plan for the number of our army, and my family is now fighting fiercely everywhere, and it is not good to mobilize troops to come to Long Island." Oda Nobunaga looked at Sabei on the side and said to Takigawa Kazuki.

Takigawa Kazuyi saw that Sabei's eyes were not on him, so he bowed his head and saluted and said no more.

Sabei, who was stared at by Oda Nobunaga, naturally bowed his head quickly after coming into contact with Oda Nobunaga's gaze to show respect.

When Oda Nobunaga saw Sabei like this, he laughed in a low voice, "Sabei, raise your head!" ”

After listening to Oda Nobunaga's words, Takigawa Kazuyi and the surrounding people looked at Sabei, who was slowly raising his head, and there was a hint of sympathy in his eyes. Takigawa Kazuyi originally wanted to say a few words for Sabei, but after a few attempts to try, he still sighed and waited for Oda Nobunaga to speak.

At this time, Oda Nobutada pressed the saber on his waist and Tsuda Nobusumi strode into the somewhat solemn atmosphere. Oda Nobunaga, who was silent, looked up at his son and nephew, coughed and said, "I don't need to say more, you should know what happened!" ”

Oda Nobutada nodded when he heard this, then walked to Oda Nobunaga's right hand and sat down, bowed his head to Oda Nobunaga and said, "Father, although we lost strategically this time, we annihilated hundreds of elites, which can be regarded as one..."

"Although this is not the victory I want, it can be regarded as meritorious, and you will continue to work hard for your family in the future!" Oda Nobunaga put down this sentence, and after making a meritorious contribution to Sabei, he brought up the matter of a long-lasting cage castle.

Sabei, who was sitting next to Tsuda Nobusumi, listened to the various cage plans in this formation, and his thoughts had already flown to why Oda Nobunaga, who had always been irritable and irritable, would take his "bad plan" lightly, and even praised himself.

Thinking of these Sabei guards, his brows couldn't help but frown, and Tsuda Nobusumi on the side saw this, patted Sabei on the shoulder and whispered: "Sabei, victory and defeat are common things, today you did not lose, but tied with the man in Long Island City, and even won a small victory!" ”

After hearing this, Sabei said with a wry smile: "Seven soldiers, this victory is like defeat, don't mention it!" ”

Tsuda Nobusumi smiled when he heard this, and then was about to turn around to end the conversation with Sabei, when he heard Oda Nobunaga call his name.

Tsuda Nobusumi subconsciously got up from the maza, bowed his head and saluted Oda Nobunaga, and was about to confess to Oda Nobunaga that he had no magic plan, but saw Oda Nobunaga smile and let Tsuda Nobusumi sit down.

Sabei looked at the scene in front of him, instantly understood something, and silently thought of his father-in-law who he had never met. Zuo Bingwei immediately smiled bitterly in his heart, although his political resources are good, they are also tainted.

After Sabei figured out what he couldn't understand for a while, he buried his head lower in order to hide the changing expression on his face.

At this time, a nearby side suddenly offered a plan: "Lord, although it is difficult to send ninjas into the city to poison the water source, if you can dig a water vein connected to the well in the city outside the city, it will be much more convenient to poison!" ”

"Stupid! If you poison the water veins outside the city, how to deal with the water used by your army? Oda Nobunaga smashed the back of his knife into the near side of the offer and loudly rebuked the near side of the offering.

At this time, the Zuo Bingwei, who had calmed down, got up and said, "My lord, we can store rainwater for use!" ”

After listening to Sabei's words, Oda Nobunaga kicked away the side of the person who was kneeling in front of him to plead guilty, and walked to Sabei who bowed his head with his saber. Then Oda Nobunaga stood in front of Sabei, staring at Sabei in front of him, and after a long time, he spit out: "Nobutada, what do you think?" ”

Oda Nobutada looked at Sabei who bowed his head when he heard this, and said to Oda Nobunaga, who was standing with a sword in his hand, "Father, in this situation, I think I might want to give it a try!" ”
