Oda Nobunaga led his army all the way to Atsuta Shrine, and although he decided to fight Imagawa Yoshimoto to the death, the existing forces were not enough, and he had to continue to gather troops here. In addition, due to the ban on meat issued by the emperor, although the hard-working people marched long distances on foot, they were not able to catch it if they ran forward, unless Oda Nobunaga had the courage of Tsukahara Moryu to lead eighteen cavalry to charge the battle during the night battle of Ninja City, otherwise it was necessary to have enough infantry support to fight.

Throw the reins to the priest of the shrine, "Feed the horses!" Then he walked into the main hall of the shrine by himself, and after praying here, he temporarily set up the main camp, but the news from the front made Oda Nobunaga's brows furrow even tighter: Okabe Motonobu led two thousand troops to participate in the battle of Narumi Castle, Sakuma Morishige could no longer support it, and ordered his clan to lead the army to break through the siege, and he committed suicide by cutting his stomach in Honmaru. Shibata Katsuie led the army to fight fiercely with Asahina Taino, Oda Genban Nobuhei took the opportunity to kill from the city, the two armies should be combined with the outside, and defeated Asahina Taino, Shibata Katsuie single-handedly rushed into the battle and took the head of Asahina Taino, which can be described as a complete victory, but just when chasing the defeated army, the Imagawa army was always ready to go out and defeat Shibata Katsuya and Oda Nobuhei, Oda Nobuhei was beheaded by Ohno Shinzaemon, and Shibata Katsuie was trapped in Sagitsu......

"Bastard, isn't there any good news?" Oda Nobunaga became more and more irritable, and he had to make a decision immediately, otherwise once the Imagawa army was encircled, he would have no choice but to retreat to Cheongshu Castle.

Just when everyone was silent, a samurai with a cloak running in, just when everyone thought that this person would be vented by Oda Nobunaga, Oda Nobunaga helped him as if he had caught a life-saving straw: "Where is Imagawa Yoshimoto?" ”

"The enemy is there...... Barrel Sama ...... "Liang Tian Zhenggang, who is in charge of intelligence spying, said breathlessly.

"Win, hahaha, this battle, we won! What are you doing in a daze, gather the whole army, and immediately march, the enemy is in the narrow barrel! Oda Nobunaga looked up to the sky excitedly and roared, striding out of the main hall.

In the narrow room, Imagawa Yoshimoto is looking at the map intently, but if someone comes closer to observe, they will find that at this moment, Imagawa Yoshimoto is not looking at the map of Owari, but the map of Kanto! After a long time, Imagawa Yoshimoto sighed: "Ueno Country, Kanto Eight Prefectures, Molong Gong will take six, with the strength of the Hojo family, it will be difficult to compete with it." Even after Echichi, he thought it was a strong reinforcement, but the family had to hurry up. ”

"The lord doesn't need to worry, Saito Michizo has stopped at Inuyama Castle and promised to share Owari with us equally. And the army of this family is constantly rushing to the front line, and there is no worry about Saito Michizo regretting it. Taiyuan Xuezhai said slowly, but there was a trace of sickly flushing on his face, and he paused before continuing to speak: "Kitabatake Harugu died violently in the army, and Ise was in chaos, after we took Owari, it only took about two years to initially complete the suppression of Ise country, and when the time came, it was Tsukahara Molong who unified Kanto, and my family also had a countermeasure." ”

Imagawa Yoshimoto nodded, looking at his teacher worriedly, "Teacher, why don't you go back to Okazaki to recuperate first, and then ...... when you are better."

Taiyuan Xuezhai waved his hand, and looked at Imagawa Yoshimoto with kind eyes: "I have my own body, and it should last a few years, at least, at least, cough ......" As he spoke, Taiyuan Xuezhai suddenly coughed violently, and what made Imagawa Yoshimoto's complexion change greatly was that he actually coughed up blood! "Come on, come on! Get a doctor! ”

In the wilderness of such a barren area as Tsukasama, the samurai of the Imagawa family were also quite helpless, but they also knew the importance of Taiyuan Xuesai, and they rode horses to find it, but almost all of them were ordinary doctors who could only treat sword wounds and common rheumatic colds, and finally arrived in Okazaki to find a doctor who could treat Taiyuan Xuesai. The samurai of the Imagawa family did not dare to delay, almost grabbed the doctor and threw it on horseback, and then frantically rushed towards the barrel Sayama.

The half-dead doctor who was turned upside down recovered quickly with the knife on his neck, and hurriedly checked Taiyuan Xuezhai, who had fallen into a coma, "Uh...... The situation with this master is not optimistic, hiss! Don't don't, don't do it, I have an ancestral recipe to save him! ”

Imagawa Yoshimoto clapped his hands, and the little surname hurriedly brought a plate, and a large plate of Jin Xiaoju suddenly blinded the doctor's eyes, but Imagawa Yoshimoto's words instantly made the doctor sober up: "Save him, these are all yours; If you can't be saved, your whole family will die. ”

Under the threat of death, the doctor dared to pat his chest and assure that his mind had never been so bright, and after some rescue, he finally snatched Taiyuan Xuezhai back from the death line. Holding a heavy amount of gold, this doctor is not to mention how comfortable he feels, and it is really risky and rewarding. "This, this master is a high-ranking monk at a glance, don't work too weekdays, and recuperate well."

"Teacher, what's wrong with him?" Imagawa Yoshimoto asked with burning eyes.

"This master ......" The doctor looked at Taiyuan Xuezhai with a little apprehension, but found that the other party was just looking at him kindly and gently, so he had the courage to continue, "This master practiced martial arts in his early years, and his foundation was very good, but he worked too hard for a long time, and he became ill after a long time, if he took care of his body and participated in Zen and enlightenment, Shouyuan could be recovered, but if it was still like this, I am afraid it would ......"

"The poor monk has been taught." Taiyuan Xuezhai clasped his palms together and said slowly.

But Imagawa Yoshimoto didn't have such a good temper, "You immediately escort the teacher to Okazaki, this doctor, the teacher's body will be bothered by you to take care of it, my previous words are still valid." ”

"I ......" Taiyuan Xuezhai was just about to speak, and Imagawa Yoshimoto shook his head: "I dispatched the army this time, Okazaki is the hub of grain and grass, there is no room for loss, and the teacher needs to go to the town!" ”

Seeing that Imagawa Yoshimoto was now insisting, Taiyuan Xuezhai smiled bitterly, "That's it." ”

After sending away Taiyuan Yuisai, Imagawa Yoshimoto spread out the Owari map, "Pass the order, let Torii Tadayoshi lead the army into Komaki Mountain, prevent Saito Michizo from going south, Okabe Motoshin left 700 troops to guard Narumi Castle, and the rest of the people go to Yukake Castle, be sure to capture it within three days!" "Shortly after the order was given, there was a sudden rainstorm, and everyone took refuge in their tents to take shelter from the rain, only a few sentry posts still braved the rain to patrol, but the rain became heavier and heavier, and the visibility plummeted, and it was almost impossible to see people three meters away.

"Well, it's cooler after the rain." Imagawa Yoshimoto shook his fan, but his heart couldn't stop being anxious, and at this moment, Imagawa Yoshimoto suddenly got up and pulled out the three words on the left of his saber sect, "There is the voice of soldiers, the whole army is on alert!" Although the flag that was guarding around Imagawa Yoshimoto was puzzled, he still took immediate action and protected the main formation.

Soon, a very disturbing riot spread, sounding like a mutiny in the army, but hearing the cries that were clearly Owari accents, the veterans of the Imagawa family understood that the Oda army had attacked!

"I'll pick the time." Imagawa Yoshimoto's eyes showed a cold light, the main forces under his command were on the front line, and the accompanying standing army also went to attack Suritsu, and the guards around him were empty, but the Oda army attacked. "I don't know when the heavy rain will stop, and it's already impossible to let the front-line troops come to support, the whole army, immediately withdraw to Okazaki!"

"Hah!" After everyone received the order, they retreated in the direction of Okazaki.

However, Oda Nobunaga did not know the situation of the Imagawa army, and after launching a surprise attack on the Imagawa army with the belief that he would die, he found that the resistance was really weak and pitiful. Most of the real main forces were sent to the front line, and most of the people who stayed with Imagawa Yoshimoto were some accompanying civilians and monks, except for the three hundred banners, and of course, the Imagawa family came to gild, and the combat power was naturally not high, especially when it rained heavily, it was impossible to see the surrounding environment clearly, whether it was the Oda army or the Imagawa army, they could not use the battle formation, and could only rely on personal bravery, in this case, the Oda army with the belief of death obviously had the upper hand.

Although I don't know the direction, everyone is trying to kill in a crowded place, and soon the Imagawa military camp is occupied, and after more than a dozen cases of the Oda army can't see each other clearly and kill each other, Oda Nobunaga finally determined that the Imagawa army should have been killed. But when he found the main camp of the Imagawa army, looking at the empty camp tent, Oda Nobunaga's heart suddenly cooled by half: It's a step late!

"Nope! The whole army chases me! With such heavy rain, they definitely won't be able to run far! Oda Nobunaga roared, just when the Oda army was spinning around in the torrential rain like headless flies, the heavy rain suddenly stopped, and soon a group of Oda troops found Imagawa Yoshimoto retreating towards Okazaki from a high place, Oda Nobunaga was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered the whole army to assault!

It's just that Imagawa Yoshimoto suffered, and the fickle weather in summer seems to be deliberately playing with Imagawa Yoshimoto, and at the moment when the mud-covered Oda Army catches up with him, Imagawa Yoshimoto seems to understand how Kitabatake Haruko died......
