After Oda Nobutada entered Kotani with the people of Burning Sky, he immediately received an order from Sakuma Nobumori, and the entire Oda army formation changed from the rear team to the front team. Because Oda Nobutada's status was noble and could not be missed, and he had not experienced a major war, the forces led by Oda Nobutada became the rear team again. At this time, Oda Nobutada himself couldn't help complaining about himself: "'Running too fast', missed the opportunity to make a contribution!" ”

However, at this time, there was no time for Oda Nobutada to adjust, and the others stopped Ashigaru, who was still retreating, and immediately ordered and shouted: "At this time, the family's plan to lure the enemy, now counterattack the enemy, and the fugitive will not be forgiven." Invisibly, the Oda Nobutada team became the warlord, and some panicked Oda family Ashigaru saw the elite of the young master's hands holding bright spears aimed at him, and immediately stopped.

At this time, the low hills on both sides of the small valley also remembered the roar of the iron cannons, and the Oda army, which was originally a little panicked, first made a commotion when they saw this, and then after being suppressed by the low-level samurai of each team, they realized that it was their own people attacking the Asakura army that was pursuing. In an instant, the momentum of the Oda army rebounded sharply, and the Oda army immediately organized its military formation to deal with the Asakura army that was rushing in the rain of bullets.

After the vanguard led by Tomita Nagashige was deliberately let go, a large number of foot shots led by Asakura Keigami became the target of Maeda Toshiie and Torii Mototada's iron artillery team, and Maeda Toshiie, after firing a round, immediately rushed towards the mouth of the gorge where the Asakura army entered the valley, and blocked the Asakura army in the small valley according to the plan.

Honda Tadakatsu had already led the Mikawa army to fight Tomita Nagashige's cavalry team, and the two were both generals known for their bravery in their respective domains, like iron brothers intertwined and intertwined with each other.

Because the valley is too narrow, neither side can spread the team. It was also for this reason that Asakura Keigami thought that the ambushed Oda army was only slightly hindering himself, and he had no idea about the battle situation ahead. On the one hand, Asakura Jingjing commanded the iron artillery team to return fire on the Oda iron artillery team on both sides, and on the other hand, urged the troops in front to advance forward.

Under such circumstances, Sakuma Nobumori gave an order to join the Maeda Toshiie's iron artillery team to the Torii Mototada's iron artillery team. After hearing the signal ahead, Oda Nobutada also said to his subordinates: "We will withdraw to the gorge, merge with the Nobumori army, and block the Asakura army in the small valley. After hearing the order, everyone hurriedly ordered his men to evacuate backwards in an orderly manner.

In the interval between the battles with the Mikawa army, Tomita Nagashige, he saw the Oda army retreating again, so he shouted: "The Oda army is defeated, hurry up and catch up with them!" Honda Tadakatsu also heard the order to retreat during the battle, and shouted at Tomita Nagashi: "I am Tokugawa retainer Honda Heihachiro Tadakatsu, if you want to take my head, hurry up and catch up!" With that, Honda Tadakatsu laughed and beat his horse and left the battlefield.

Seeing this, Tomita Nagashiro naturally pursued the retreating Mikawa army, until he saw Sakuma Nobumori's Oda army formation at the mouth of the Otani gorge. Under the iron cannon of the Black Hole Cave, Tomita Nagashige realized Honda Tadakatsu's aggressive plan, but it was too late.

The iron artillery team directly under Sakuma Nobumori, which had more than 100 people, pulled the trigger of the iron cannon on the speeding Asakura army, and more than a hundred projectiles flew towards the Asakura army with the help of gunpowder. As soon as Tomita Nagashi, who had rushed to the front, reined in his horse, a scorching projectile burrowed into his mount. Tomita Nagashi's mount was no longer under Tomita's control as soon as he screamed, and even the skilled Tomita Nagashige had nothing to do, and was finally thrown to the ground by the startled horse.

Then Oda Nobutada shouted at Burning Sky and the others: "Release the arrow!" In addition to the burning of the sky that was too poor in archery to give up the bow and arrow, the Oda samurai, including Oda Nobutada himself, and his elite standing guards drew their bows and arrows and shot arrows at the Asakura army that had just rushed out of the small valley.

The Asakura army, which was restricted by the terrain, could only desperately rush towards the Oda army, in a vain attempt to break through the formation of the Oda army, but Sakuma Nobumori would not give the Asakura army this chance. The iron artillery of the Oda Army, after quickly reloading the ammunition, fired again at the rushing Asakura army.

Asakura Jingjing finally realized that he had really been tricked this time after hearing the sound of iron cannons and fighting in front of him. Reacting to this, Asakura Keigami commanded the team in front of him to launch an offensive against the Oda army, and at the same time ordered the team next to him to protect himself and evacuate from here. The Asakura army behind slowly felt that the situation had changed, and after being retreated by Asakura Jingjing's close attendants to make way for Asakura Jingjing, they also began to flee immediately, and these escaped people even ran in front of Asakura Jingjing.

The Asakura army, which was fighting desperately in front, gradually found that the team behind them was getting smaller and smaller after charging at the Oda army several times, until one of them shouted at Ashigaru Asakura: "Lord Jingjing has retreated!" The Asakura army, who was still fighting with the Oda army, heard the countless wails coming from behind him, and their morale immediately plummeted.

Sakuma Nobumori, who had been in battle for a long time, seized this opportunity to give the order to the Oda army to counterattack, and Oda Nobutada, who had long been unable to hold back, ordered Shibata Katsumasa and others to charge, and at the same time took his close attendants to attack the Asakura army, which had no fighting spirit and was ready to escape.

After hearing Oda Nobutada's order, Sakaku also threw himself into the pursuit with his men, but because he had no horses, he had to charge with Dokii Katsu and others, while Shibata Katsumasa and other mounted samurai rushed into the small valley early, hunting the fleeing Asakura samurai and Ashigaru.

Asakura Jingjing, who fled early, looked at Ashigaru who was suddenly hit by an iron cannon in front of him and fell to the ground, and his heart was already full of hope. Taniguchi, who was full of sunlight in front of him, was like the entrance to hell at this time, devouring the lives of the Asakura army. Chaocang Jingjing turned his head to look at Xiao Gu, who was surrounded by the sound of fighting and wailing behind him, and said to the retainers beside him with some trembling: "Quickly escort me to evacuate here!" ”

Nearly 500 iron cannons took turns firing at the Asakura army who escaped from Kotani, and the Asakura samurai and ashigaru who were hit by the projectiles fell one after another, and some of the Asakura samurai who wanted to surrender shouted at the place where Asakura Keigami was, "Lord Keigami, let's surrender!" As soon as the words of those samurai fell, they heard Asakura Jingjing shouting: "If you can't surrender, let me charge forward and break through the blockade of their iron artillery team!" ”

Seeing that the persuasion of the Asakura samurai was ineffective, he straightened his armor, prayed to Hachiman Okami with the sword in his hand, and then shouted his name and rushed to the iron cannon of the Maeda Toshiya and Torii Mototada. Seeing this, Asakura Keigami immediately shouted at the other samurai and ashishi, "If you rush through, you can live, don't you know the notoriety of the Oda Army!" ”

With the samurai who charged earlier with the idea of death, and the fear of the notoriety of the Oda army's prisoners, the Asakura army once again erupted with strong combat effectiveness under the mouth of Asakura Kagami. Each of the Asakura samurai and Ashigaru slammed into the muzzle of the Oda Army's iron artillery as if they had lost their minds.

Such a suicidal charge did work, and Asakura Keigami, protected by his attendants and retainers in the confusion, broke through the flank of the Oda Tokugawa coalition iron artillery and fled to the north. But most of the charging Asakura troops still died under the iron cannons and swords and guns of the iron artillery team.

Considering the heat of the iron cannon, Maeda Toshiie gave the order to fight the Asakura army in hand-to-hand combat. As a result, the Asakura army, which failed to seize the gap between the collapse of the flank of the Oda Tokugawa coalition army and fled in time, was blocked in the valley, and Sakuma Nobumori also pursued the defeated Asakura army to the mouth of the valley. Originally, the position was not high, and rushed to the front line of the pursuit of the Asakura army with Dokii Katsu and others.

After stabbing several Asakura Ashigaru with his naginata, Burning Sky found a high-ranking Asakura samurai wearing a gorgeous curly belly. At this time, the samurai was forced back by Oda's several ashigaru, but in the blink of an eye, he killed two of them. Seeing this, the Burning Sky shouted to the high-ranking samurai, "The Oda family, Hieiyama Mingshamon, and the Burning Sky will fight you!" ”
