The morning sun was shining, but the smell of blood was in the air.

In the open space outside Kajida Castle, rows of heads were placed there, and Oda Nobunaga sat in the first place in a good mood, inspecting the results of this joint battle, which Sato Tadano had brought from Tangdong Castle overnight.

"Haha! Good! The Sato family also contributed a lot in this joint battle, not only killing Kishi Nobubo, but also being the first to break through the back line of Tangdong Castle, I saw your loyalty. In addition to the knowledge you received, add another 1,000 stones, and I hope you can continue to serve my Oda family in the future. After inspecting the head, Oda Nobunaga did not hesitate to seal the Sato family again.

"Thank you, Lord for your generous reward! I, the Sato family, wish to be loyal to the Lord for generations to come! Sato and his son hurriedly came out to thank them, and they were so excited that they burst into tears.

"Okay, let's go here, you clean up here, go back to Kajitian City first, I will lead the headquarters army to go to Tangdong City to join the army, and then capture Guancheng in one fell swoop." Oda Nobunaga looked up at the sky and prepared to leave for Doto Castle.

"Congratulations to my lord! At that time, the family will definitely attack Seki with all their might, please rest assured. Seeing Oda Nobunaga leave, Tadano Sato cleaned up the scene and returned to Kajida Castle to wait for Oda Nobunaga's order.

Rustling, Oda Nobunaga led 800 standing guns to march to Yuta, and suddenly rushed over from the west to thousands of Saito troops.

"Enemy attack! Target the northwest direction! Array! Ikeda immediately gave the order to defend.

"Oh!"

Wow!

The spears were quickly arranged in order according to the order, and then the spears were raised in unison, waiting for the enemy to approach.

"Well, that's good." Oda Nobunaga nodded approvingly, this is the benefit of standing ready, being able to enter the state quickly, if it was replaced by a peasant soldier, I am afraid that he would have run away a long time ago.

"Huh?" The surprise attack of Saito Ryuxing obviously did not expect the Oda army to be so calm, his consciousness was still stuck in the battle of the nineteen jou of the year, the Oda army was attacked by his own night, and the defeat was like an army.

Bang Bang Bang! The spears of the two armies were head-to-head, and even though Oda was stabbed down by the raiding Saito army, the Oda army in the back was still able to fill the position according to the order, and there was no trace of retreat.

"My lord, from the distance, there are about 4,000 people in the Saito army, and the enemy is outnumbered, and I hope that the lord will make a decision as soon as possible." Hasegawa Hashisuke on the side reported the information gathered on the battlefield to Oda Nobunaga.

"Hmmm! Order the troops to hold steady, not allowed to retreat, violators, behead! Oda Nobunaga knew that if he took a step back at this time, even the standing Oda army would collapse immediately.

"Oh!"

"Drink!"

With the passage of time, the Saito army gradually lost its high morale, while the Oda army has been in a calm stage, shooting and collecting guns, alternating battles in an orderly manner.

"Damn! How so, the second strike! "General Saito Ryuko was divided into three formations, and he thought that he would win the victory with the initial surprise attack, but he did not expect that the situation would develop into a stalemate.

Just as the second formation of the Saito army was preparing to fight in alternating the first formation, and the first formation retreated from both sides, Ikeda Hengxing suddenly shouted loudly: "Rush forward!" Stab! ”

"Oh!"

The morale of the Oda army was suddenly high, and they broke into the Saito army with neat steps.

"Ahh Belch! ”

"Go back, give me all back! Don't run! ”

"Retreat! Retreat! Evacuate to safety and regroup. ”

With the sudden increase in casualties, the chaotic chain of command also came to the fore, and the inconsistent orders made the Saito army even more chaotic.

"Sure enough, as Rokuro said, the command of this reserve is very important, and it should be formed into a unified organization and unified command. Otherwise, it will be like this kind of armament composed of small wealthy clans, once there is an emergency, they will not be subordinate to each other, resulting in inevitable defeat. Oda Nobunaga rode on his horse and looked at the Saito army in chaos on the opposite side, and the idea of establishing a standing establishment became even more determined.

"My lord, that's not all. Another advantage of standing guard is that whether it is spring plowing or autumn harvest, soldiers can be used, and there will be no resentment of peasants and soldiers, and there will be no such phenomenon that peasants and soldiers are resentful and unable to fight hard. Oda Nobunaga suddenly thought of what Hosokawa Nobumoto had said, and nodded approvingly.

"Ah, run." With a shout, the Saito army retreated like a tide.

"Order the army not to pursue, the enemy still has a reserve and has not come up, take advantage of the current situation, immediately retreat to Tangdong City." Oda Nobunaga did not rush forward, he knew that this was only a temporary victory, and the army was small, and once the enemy took turns to fight, he would definitely lose under the strength of one another.

The standing garrison with strict military discipline quickly adjusted its state and quickly retreated to Tangdong Castle according to the order, so angry that Saito Ryuxing jumped to his feet.

"Humph! In this case, if I besiege Kajida Castle, I don't believe that my family's 3,000-strong army will not be able to capture a small city of 500 people. Saito Ryuko decided to pull out the nail behind him first, and took advantage of the situation to surround Kajida Castle.

"My lord, Inabayama Castle is surrounded by the Oda army." Suddenly, a bad news came, which frightened Saito Ryuxing.

"What's going on? How many people are in the Oda family? "My hometown is trapped, and Saito Ryuko is no longer calm.

"Like, there are thousands of them." The samurai who reported the news said uncertainly.

"So much! How is it possible, aren't the Oda family's armies all in Tangdong Castle? Where did the thousands of troops come from? Saito Ryuxing grabbed the samurai by the collar and roared.

"Lord, lord, it's true, the mountains outside Inabashan City are full of people, and they have surrounded the home city of their family." The warrior said with a sad face.

"Damn! Return! Return! Michitoshi Nagai! You lead your men and horses to continue the siege of Kajida Castle! After speaking, Saito Ryuxing hurriedly led 3,000 troops back to Inabayama Castle.

"My lord, the Saito army is already on the way back to Inabayama Castle, and the main hall has escaped safely." In the tent outside Inabayama Castle, Hosokawa Nobumoto sat on the main seat and listened to the report of Monomiban.

"Got it, since the tactics of encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao have been achieved, let's withdraw the troops, and order the surrounding troops to gather immediately and withdraw to Yimu Mountain City." It turned out that the so-called people all over the mountains were Hosokawa Nobumoto's suspicious tactics, and he received the news of Saito Ryuko's mobilization last night, and immediately ordered the people of the headquarters to sneak out of Imu Mountain Castle while it was dark.

Secretly going to the vicinity of Inabayama Castle, no matter where the Saito army goes, he can bluff outside the city and force Saito Ryuko to return to the castle and continue to nest.

Hosokawa Nobumoto, who achieved his goal, quietly returned to Imuyama Castle that night, and the reinforcements outside the city during the day did not notice the abnormality at all, and even if they did, they would probably turn a blind eye and continue to act here.

"Damn! Damn it! Where is the Oda Army! Where have the so-called people all over the mountains gone! Shouldn't you have grown wings and fly! ”

Saito Ryuko, who had been tricked, was completely messed up and took all his anger out on the samurai who reported the news, but again, he didn't dare to attack again, in case there was really an ambush around.
