After listening to Oda Nobutada's words, Burning Sky invited Tomita Nagashiro behind him out. Tomita Nagashige stepped forward and half-knelt in front of Oda Nobunaga, and said respectfully, "I am willing to submit to His Highness Nobunaga." Oda Nobunaga looked at Oda Nobutada and Tomita Nagashige, who were half-kneeling in front of him, turned to the two and said, "Come with me!" ”

After Oda Nobunaga said this, he walked to the main camp with Sakuma Nobumori and everyone, Oda Nobutada looked at Oda Nobunaga who was leaving, turned his head to Tomita Nagashige and said, "Yarokuro come with me!" After saying that, Oda Nobutada got up and pressed the sword on his waist and walked towards the main formation, and when he was halfway there, he found that Burning Sky and the others were still standing in place, so he turned around and said, "Go and survey the head!" ”

After Burning Sky and the others received the order, they led their men to approach in the direction of Hasegawa Shuichi, who was already "crowded".

By the time the Burning Sky and the others finished the survey, it was already close to evening, and Kinoshita Hideyoshi also happened to take some of his men to the formation to report the situation and register the captured heads. After that, some horses ran out of the camp and conveyed Oda Nobunaga's order to summon the samurai in the camp to hold an assessment. As a low-ranking samurai of the Oda family, Burning Sky was naturally fortunate enough to be able to sit on the ground in the middle of the main camp and listen to the conversation between Oda Nobunaga, Shibata Katsuie, and others.

After briefly inquiring about today's results, Oda Nobunaga pointed at Kinoshita Hideyoshi with the horsewhip in his hand and said, "The monkey did a good job in this battle!" When Kinoshita Hideyoshi heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground and expressed his loyalty and gratitude to Oda Nobunaga. Subsequently, Oda Nobunaga praised Shibata Katsuie, Sakuma Nobumori and others, but the degree of appreciation was obviously below Kinoshita Hideyoshi.

After praising the meritorious generals, Oda Nobunaga stood up and looked at Kotani Castle, which was surrounded by the Oda army, and fell into a deep silence in the formation for a moment. Seeing this, the old Shibata Katsuya of the Oda pen family said to Oda Nobunaga: "Don't worry, my lord, tomorrow I will be able to conquer Otani Castle with the monkeys in one fell swoop!" ”

After hearing this, Oda Nobunaga, who was looking at Kotani Castle, smiled and said to Shibata Katsuie, "Then there will be labor rights six!" After saying this, Oda Nobunaga said to Oda Nobutada, who was sitting beside him, "Kankuro, I have given you a task, and you can use anyone here to help you complete it. After listening to his father's words, Oda Nobutada immediately got up and half-knelt down and said, "I would like to share my father's worries!" ”

Oda Nobunaga listened to Nobutada's words, and said to the many samurai in the camp: "Aichi is still in Honmaru, do you have a way to rescue Ichi?" Oda Nobunaga's narrow eyes swept over each of them under the light of the torches, staring at the samurai in his camp until they shivered in the midsummer evening. And the torches that danced with the mountain wind made the samurai feel a little more uneasy.

After hearing Oda Nobunaga's words, Oda Nobutada was stunned for a moment, and then said to Oda Nobunaga: "I am willing to share my father's worries, but I need to borrow my father's seal to use it!" At this time, Kinoshita Hideyoshi also half-knelt and said to Oda Nobunaga: "I wish to rescue the princess of the city with the young master!" ”

Looking at the scene in front of him, Burning Hollow sighed slightly in his heart, Oda Nobutada is afraid that there will be another layer of estrangement between Oda Nobutada and Oda City in the future. At this time, Oda Nobutada spoke again and asked Oda Nobunaga, "Father, did you only rescue my aunt?" After hearing this, Oda Nobunaga looked at Oda Nobutaka and said: "Naturally, you can't take the seal, all the bloodline of the Oda family, you can save it, and let me take a good look at my son's talent!" ”

After hearing this, Oda Nobutada knelt on the ground and thought for a few breaths, and then said to Oda Nobunaga, "Father, can you let Kinoshita Hideyoshi go with me?" After hearing this, Oda Nobunaga looked at Kinoshita Hideyoshi with gloomy eyes, and then said to Oda Nobutada, "I have already said it before. After that, Oda Nobunaga said to everyone: "Once Aichi is rescued, he will directly attack Kotani Castle Honmaru." The retainers who reacted immediately spoke out against Oda Nobutada to rescue Oda City, but Oda Nobunaga seemed to have an iron heart, and insisted that his son, the young lord of the Oda family, Oda Nobutada, go to rescue his sister first.

After the assessment, Oda Nobutada immediately gathered Kinku, Shibata Katsumasa and Dokii Katsu, and under the leadership of Kinoshita Hideyoshi, they quickly rushed towards Kotani Castle. Burning Sky and the others came to Kotani City on horseback, and were directly suppressed by the ruins of Kotani City. Within the horizon of the incineration, not a single piece of the castle wall of Kotani Castle Sanmaru was now intact. Large and small bullet holes and countless arrows nailed to the city walls, it was clear to the Burning Sky and the others that the fierce battle that had taken place here before.

The surrounding samurai and ashigaru on duty saw Kinoshita Hideyoshi coming, and they all bowed to Kinoshita Hideyoshi. Seeing that Kinoshita Hideyoshi was only following behind Oda Nobutada, although the samurai did not know the identity of Oda Nobutada, they also saluted Oda Nobutada. Kinoshita Hideyoshi took Oda Nobutada and his party all the way and led them to the front line command of his own Nimaru.

At this time, the Takenaka Hanbei and the others who stayed behind saw Kinoshita Hideyoshi coming back, and before they went up to greet him, they were instructed by Kinoshita Hideyoshi with a serious expression: "Send someone to inform Asai Akiro and ask him to tell Asai Nagamasa that there is an envoy from his family to meet with him, and in addition, let Asai Hideyoshi 'prepare' earlier." ”

After hearing this, Takenaka Hanbei saw that the young man in front of Kinoshita Hideyoshi had an extraordinary bearing, and after thinking about it, he knew what was going on, so he stepped forward and whispered to Oda Nobutada: "Takenaka Hanbei Shigeji meets the young master!" With that, he immediately got up and went to arrange the connection with Asai Iki, and the other people in the small array saw the noble status of the envoy of the family, so they were very respectful to Oda Nobutada, but everyone was still driven out by Kinoshita Hideyoshi.

Soon after, the Takenaka Hanbei reported to Oda Nobutada: "Young master, someone from the Asai family has come to pick it up!" After hearing this, Oda Nobutada said to Kinoshita Hideyoshi: "Hideyoshi, you lead the way." Kinoshita Hideyoshi said a little nervously after hearing this: "The young master should go down and rescue the princess of the city, the lord's idea is really incredible!" ”

After hearing this, Oda Nobutada said to Kinoshita Hideyoshi: "This is the fate of people like us who have the blood of Oda, whether they succeed or fail, the bloodline of the Oda clan will not be cut off here!" After listening to Oda Nobutada's words, Kinoshita Hideyoshi instructed Takenaka Hanbei and others: "If the young master and I do not return before dawn, report it to the lord immediately!" ”

After that, Oda Nobutada pressed the sword on his waist and followed Kinoshita Hideyoshi towards the Honmaru Gate of Kotani Castle. At this time, countless two samurai had gathered in front of the Honmaru Gate, and both sides were trying their best to exercise restraint, Kinoshita Hideyoshi walked to the door and shouted to the people on the castle wall, "Asai Iki came out and spoke!" I'm still Kinoshita Hideyoshi! ”

After a while, the door of Kotani Castle Honmaru opened halfway, and the people inside said to Kinoshita Hideyoshi and the others, "The messenger of the Oda family, please come in!" ”
