Chapter 166: Advance and retreat all look at Takigawa

"Protect the lord!" After seeing this scene, Aichi Shiami's eyes were split, and after a long roar, he pounced on Oda Nobunaga, and the guards also pounced on him when they saw this, and used their bodies to protect Oda Nobunaga. A burst of bean-like sound sounded, and the entire camp tent suddenly splashed blood, although the accuracy of the iron cannon is difficult to guarantee at this distance, but the dense accumulation of hundreds of iron cannons has hit the square inch of land full of holes.

Seeing this scene, Kitabatake Harugu couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart, he couldn't imagine that the concentrated use of the iron cannon vigorously developed by Tsukahara Molong was so powerful, no wonder it could sweep through the Kanto. Surprised to surprised, Kitabatake Haruka immediately ordered his son Kitabatake to lead the team and rush up to cut off people's heads. After all, the iron artillery team of the Kitabatake family has not received strict training, and it is too time-consuming to reload the iron cannon, so simply withdraw after one round of shooting, and attack by changing samurai and ashigaru.

Just when Kitabatake Gujiao looked at the corpses lying all over the place, thinking that there was no living mouth, a figure crawled up from a pile of rotten meat, "Oh? Is there anyone still alive? As a well-known swordsman, the young Kitabatake still prefers to use the sword in his hand to establish meritorious deeds.

But what Kitabatake Gukyo didn't expect was that the opponent's reaction speed was not inferior to his own in the slightest, and he blocked his attack with a single sword, obviously a samurai who had undergone strict training. "Interesting, but killing a hero like you can add color to my martial name!"

The two slashed each other more than ten times in a flash of lightning, Kitabatake Gujiao took advantage of the fact that the other party's old power was exhausted, and when the new power was not born, he saw the opportunity and kicked the other party over, just when he was about to kill the other party, a cross spear blocked his way. "Maeda Inu Chiyo Toshiya, challenge Your Excellency!" Maeda Toshiie, who was also stained with blood, stood in front of Kitabatake's Gukyo at the last moment. Another samurai picked up the man who had been repelled by Kitabatake, "The lord has stepped back for the time being, and this is for us." ”

Lord? Kitabatake's pupils shrank slightly, could it be that this person is Oda Nobunaga? He wasn't actually bombarded into slag by iron artillery?

It's not that Oda Nobunaga has a King Kong indestructible body, but more than a dozen guards used their bodies to block bullets for Oda Nobunaga, so Oda Nobunaga escaped. "Hayato Sasa, challenge Your Excellency!" Sasa Hayato slowly pulled out his saber, he is the elder brother of Sasa Narumasa and the young master of the Sasa family, and has been serving Oda Nobunaga.

"Oh? Interesting. Kitabatake's general slashed: "No matter how many people come, it won't change the outcome of you being killed by me!" Before he could finish speaking, Kitabatake jumped backwards and dodged a slash to his ankle. The other man got up from the minced flesh covered in blood, it was Aichi Juami, who turned out to be the closest to Oda Nobunaga, and there were other guards on the periphery to protect him, so he was lucky enough to pick up his life. "Aichi Ten Ami, challenge Your Excellency!"

"Hmph," Kitabatake Gukyo sneered, waved the long knife in his hand, and fought with the three of them without waiting for the samurai behind him to follow. Some other guards who were lucky enough to survive also rushed over at this time, forming the last line of defense to defend Oda Nobunaga.

But the name of Kitabatake's swordsman is not blown, although Maeda Toshiya and others besieged each other in a three-on-one way, but Aichi Shiami, who had the lowest martial arts, was soon in danger and was seriously injured by Kitabatake Harugoo. Three-on-one is still like this, Maeda Toshiya and Sasa Hayato are even more dangerous in the battle against Kitabatake Gujiao, and Sasa Hayabusa, one of the best young samurai in the Oda family, can't dodge, first was cut off by Kitabatake Gujiao's left arm, and then directly beheaded by Kitabatake Gujiao, and only the remaining Maeda Toshiya will soon follow in the footsteps of Sasa Hayato.

At this critical moment, Kitabatake Gukyo suddenly stopped the knife momentum, turned out a knife flower, burst open the darts that shot from all around, and after blocking a shot from Maeda Toshiie, he jumped out of the battle group, and looked at several strangely dressed ninjas who suddenly appeared with solemn eyes. "The Oda family's war ninja ......"

Although when he was in Kai, Tsukahara Moryū killed more than 30 war ninjas by himself, and he became famous all over the world, this does not mean that the gold content of war ninjas is low, these killing machines that only receive combat training are not to be underestimated no matter where they are. Although Kitabatake's swordsmanship is superb, he still can't defeat Maeda Toshiya under the harassment of the battle ninja attack, so he simply jumped out of the battle group and handed over the battle to his subordinates.

At this moment, two groups of Oda soldiers suddenly attacked from the flanks and the rear of the main camp, and under the attack of the two sides, even the Kitabatake Gukyo had to temporarily retreat. It was Takigawa Kazuyi who came from the flank, and it was he who learned that the main camp was in danger, and he transferred the battle to return for reinforcements, and he collected the defeated soldiers of the Oda family and killed them from the flank. Coming from the rear was Kinoshita Toyoshiro, after he was promoted to samurai, because martial arts were commonplace, so he was sent to command the small lotus team, but by now, the Oda army really has no reserves, in order to seize this opportunity, Kinoshita Toyoshiro decided to send all these people who had never been trained to play. Although the people were scared at first and refused to go into battle, what kind of person was Kinoshita Toyoshiro, and after some flickering, these people rushed forward with flat sticks.

Seeing that there were so many more people in the Oda Army's main formation, Kitabatake Haruko, who was in charge of the command, also frowned slightly, it was already the best opportunity just now, and if it continued like this, the risk would be a bit big.

Oda Nobunaga angrily picked up the bodies of the seriously injured Aichi Ten Ami and Sasa Hayato, both of whom were carefully cultivated by him, and they will definitely be able to take charge of themselves in the future, but today they are all folded here, how can he not be sad and angry? "Send Ten Ami for treatment, Yiyi, you command the Chinese army to repel them, and order Oda Nobumitsu and Hayashi Tongsheng to immediately attack the two flanks of the Kitabatake family's army!"

"Down?" Takigawa Ichiyi and the others were stunned when they heard this, although Takigawa Ichiyi was born as a samurai, but most of the time he did the work of a ninja, especially Maeda Toshiya was very surprised, after all, he was an orthodox samurai. But Takigawa Kazuki is not a grinder, so there is no time to hesitate at such a critical juncture of life and death! Takigawa Kazuyoshi immediately ordered the regrouping of the forces of the main formation at this time to meet the offensive of the Kitabatake army.

To everyone's surprise, Takigawa Kazuki, who is usually inconspicuous, commanded the troops at this time, and he was actually well-founded and handy, and he was forced to take the tide-like offensive of Kitabatake Haruhura. And Oda Nobumitsu and Lin Tongsheng also know that their net worth and life are actually on Oda Nobunaga alone, as soon as Oda Nobunaga dies, the Oda family will inevitably be torn apart, and Owari Province will definitely fall into the hands of Imagawa Yoshimoto, and then the wealth of his life will really be gone. So the two of them were extremely desperate, under the attack from three sides, even Kitabatake Haruku was a little unbearable at this time, in the final analysis, if the losses of the Kitabatake army were too great, it would be impossible to gain an advantage from the next negotiations with the Kitabatake Hao clan, therefore, Kitabatake Haruku chose to retreat.

Seeing that Kitabatake Harugu was retreating, Maeda Toshiie and others immediately proposed to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but Takigawa Ichiyoshi saw that the Kitabatake army was retreating without chaos and the formation was still tight, so he rejected this proposal. Just when Maeda Toshiya and others were indignant, the news came that Lin Tongsheng was rash and was heavily damaged by the Kitabatake army, and then he was impressed by Takigawa Kazuyi.

After the two sides withdrew, the Oda army retreated to Owari, but Oda Nobunaga's words at the post-war assessment were widely circulated: "Advance Shibata and retreat Sakuma, it is an Owari folk song, and now Sakuma has died in battle, Shibata has failed to make contributions, and it will be up to Takigawa to advance and retreat in the future." ”
