Looking at the fires lit around him, Sabei was a little confused. Looking at the "flames" running towards him under Wakae Castle, Sabei didn't know if his guess would be correct for a while.

Just as Sabei was watching the torches that were coming from the air, the right Ichisuke, who was suppressing the Howard clan outside the camp, ran in and half-knelt and said, "My lord, Lord Tsuda, they are back!" As soon as Ichisuke said that, Sabei heard the sound of sonorous footsteps outside the array, although the footsteps seemed a little chaotic.

Disdainfully opened the front of the curtain and the attendant on duty stretched out his blocking arm, and Tsuda Nobusumi entered the array. Before Sabei could speak, he heard someone say, "Sakuma-sama really believes in you and asks you to be on duty!" ”

Sabei heard the voice of the flat and said, "Lord Hirade, I don't know how the battle is going?" ”

After listening to Sabei's words, Hirate Fanxiu, who wiped the dust off his face, sneered and said, "What can it be, you can see it clearly in this formation, is it necessary to ask me again?" ”

Sabei, who hit the hard nail, pressed the hand of the sword on his waist and pressed it hard, and then he heard Tsuda Nobusumi say: "It seems that the manpower arranged by Lord Akechi did not act according to the agreement, and I led the army to rush forward, and we were forced back by iron cannons and bows and arrows. Speaking of this, Tsuda Nobusumi suddenly asked Sabei, "Have you ever seen Sakuma-sama come back?" ”

After hearing this, Sabei was even more confused, and asked Tsuda Nobusumi, "Didn't Sakuma-sama go out with his attendants?" ”

As soon as Sabei's voice fell, everyone in the array was stunned, and after a few breaths, it was Sabei who broke the silence here and took the lead in saying, "Didn't Lord Sakuma withdraw with all of you?" ”

"What the hell is Sakuma-sama-sama doing? What message does he leave for you? At this time, the tie fan Xiu followed the words of Sabei and suppressed the hustle and bustle outside the array, and at the same time pushed the sense of urgency of everyone in the array to their hearts.

After the words of the tie fan show fell, the generals in the array looked at each other, and the generals either complained, or frowned, or stared blankly in the direction of Ruojiang City. In the pitch-black array, it is like a ghost with teeth and claws, ready to engulf the colleagues in front of him at any time.

Sabei looked at the people in front of him, and the others were in front of him, and he felt even more slippery when he pressed the hand of the sword. As a last resort, Sabei subconsciously put his left hand holding down the sword in front of his abdomen, but was bounced away by the cold abdominal roll on his body.

At this time, there was another sound of orderly footsteps outside the formation, and the eyes of the Sabei passed over the crowd, and under the illumination of the countless torches in the array, he saw a wise light show in gorgeous armor.

Akechi Mitsuhide, who entered the formation, first announced that he had taken over the current affairs, and then cleared out the redundant samurai inside and outside the camp. After Akechi Mitsuhide dispersed the crooked Kamanai attendants, in addition to Akechi Mitsuhide and his close attendants, only Hirate Fanhide, Naomasa Tsuda, Nobusumi Tsuda, and Sabei, who were obviously not superfluous samurai, were left in the array.

After Akechi Mitsuhide revealed Sakuma Nobumori's plan, he sent everyone back. Sabei, who learned the truth, looked at the "flames" gathering on Wakae Castle, shook his head, looked up at the night without the stars and moon, and said to Tsuda Nobusumi beside him: "Shichibei, what Wise Lord said is true? Tsuda Nobusumi shook his head after hearing this and did not answer, and Sabei smiled when he saw this and said, "Don't we all have their pattern yet?" Tsuda Nobusumi still didn't answer after hearing this.

Sabei, who returned to the camp with a sullen head, looked at the people who were still cutting down trees with torches, and then looked at the fires burning in the surrounding camps, and said to the right Kazusuke on the side: "The Miyoshi family even demolished the houses under the castle!" After listening to Sabei's words, Ichisuke suddenly smiled and said, "My lord, Brother Meijiro, the estrangement between him and Lord Taoya is not as good as the lord thinks. ”

Hearing this, Sabei raised his eyebrows and said to the right Ichisuke beside him, "Then what about their estrangement?" ”

Hearing this, Ichisuke smiled and said to Sabei, "It's a battle between a sword and a bow, no one is wrong, and everyone is at fault." ”

Sabei also smiled when he heard this, looked in Wakasa's direction, and said to Ichisuke on the right, "Is that the fault of the warriors who used them?" ”

After listening to Sabei's words, Right Ichisuke shook his head and didn't speak.

In late autumn and early winter, cicadas can still be heard at night, but the crackling sound of burning wood in the Oda military camp seems to overpower the cicadas. Ichisuke on the right leaned against the trunk of a tree on the side, and his eyes reflected the burning pyre in front of him.

What will happen tomorrow, Right Ichisuke doesn't want to speculate, and obviously he is not qualified to know. Since the massacre of the city in Momoyama, it seems that he can't keep up with his brother's ideas, a new type of standing establishment and the so-called military system, the construction of a port and the setting up of a Haikou station, a series of measures make me feel that there seems to be an insurmountable gap between me and my brother.

At this time, Sabei, who was staring at the distracted right Ichisuke, was thinking about whether Sakuma Nobumori's plan for tomorrow could be realized, and on such a cold night, would Sakuma Nobumori and the others still have the strength to fight after a hard night?

The fire in the camp gradually quieted down, and most of the people, except for a few who were unlucky enough to be assigned to the duty duty, went into a dream......

The sound of drums and trumpets in the sky penetrated into Sabei's ears. Realizing that the situation had changed, Sabei instantly got up from the deerskin mat he was lying on. Right Ichisuke, Fujido Takatora, and Kaima Yoshiya also escorted Sabei in an instant, and then everyone in the camp woke up from their dreams.

Sabei, who was wearing a headband, looked at the black figure under Wakae Castle not far away, and said to Fujido Takatora on the side: "With Youemon, you go to the main camp with me!" ”

Yan Bi Sabei quickly ran towards the main formation where Akechi Mitsuhide was. The wise Mitsuhide in this formation looked at Wakae Castle, who had already been cut off with a three-good military flag, and said to the Sabei in front of him: "Sabei, you now send the ladder and the crashing wood for the siege, by the way, there are more wooden cards!" ”

Hearing the order, Sabei immediately rushed out of the main formation, escorted the nervous people with his troops, and transported siege equipment towards Ruojiang Castle.

The Oda Army, which was supported by Sabei Mupai, quickly stabilized its position in Wakae Castle. And there seems to be something terrible happening in Wakae Castle, and the Miyoshi army in Sannomaru doesn't seem to have the morale to resist. After the Oda army stabilized its position, it began to surrender and disperse.

Looking at the Miyoshi military flag that had been cut down outside the city, Sabei said to Sakuma Nobumori, who was blue and his lips were a little purple, "Lord Sakuma, this battle is a great achievement. ”

After hearing this, Sakuma Nobumori looked at the kettle boiling with a split wooden card, and said to Sabei on the side: "I think Ashikaga Yoshiaki has escaped!" ”

After listening to Sakuma Nobumori's words, Sabei was a little unable to react, and looked at Sakuma Nobumori with a solemn expression in front of him and asked, "His Royal Highness Ashikaga... Ashikaga Yoshiaki has fled!? ”
