After about a stick of incense, Hino Nehiro had already gathered the forces under his command together, lined up again, and launched a second attack on Ogaki Castle, his ability was really limited, except for the onslaught, he really couldn't think of any strategy, and the morale of the ashigaru was already low, how could he be the opponent of the ashigaru in the city.

Three attacks in a row, all of which left dozens or hundreds of corpses without exception, retreated, if it weren't for Hino Nehiro and Banner Ashigaru supervising the battle behind this more than 1,000 troops, then there would be no need for the third attack, and the ashigaru under his command would have collapsed.

Now, the sky has gradually darkened, and seeing that the ashigaru under his command is exhausted, although Hino Nehiro is anxious, but finally decided to stop the attack, let Ashigaru rest for the night, and after recuperating enough spirits, strive to break through Ogaki Castle in one fell swoop tomorrow.

Seeing that the Saito family Ashigaru outside the castle had retreated to a mile away, he knew that he would not attack again today, so after arranging the defense of the castle, he also led his retainers to the castle tower again to discuss.

As soon as everyone sat down, they only heard the clan Bu Quan speak: "Everyone, now that our family has started a war with the lord's army, it is expected that it has reached an irreversible point, where should this family go?" ”

The retainers didn't expect that now the enemy was present, and the lord called himself and others to discuss how to retreat from the enemy, but to discuss the future of their own family, which made the retainers a little surprised.

However, how could they have thought that in the eyes of the clan Bu Quan, Hino Nehiro outside the city was simply a mallet, although there were still more than a thousand ashigaru under his command now, but the clan Bu Quan was confident that this person could be captured in a battle.

After being a little surprised, the retainers came to their senses, and from the words of the lord, they could all hear that compared with the previous tough attitude, the lord had wavered, and even hoped to join the Oda family, and now all that was lacking was determination.

The retainers were very relieved to see that the lord could have such an attitude, and the only way out for the family was to take refuge in the Oda family, and if not, then the only way out was for the Saito family.

Thinking of this, I only heard one of the old ministers in the family take the lead in speaking: "Lord, now that the situation is very clear, with those wine bags and rice bags outside the city, how can it be the elite opponent of the Oda family, the subordinates think that within a year, or even half a year, the Saito family will be wiped out, and now the lord has started a war with the Saito family, if he does not return to the Oda family, it is impossible to survive at all, if the lord does not want the family name to be removed, then now there is only one way left to return to the Oda family."

And the subordinates heard that Lord Ando and Lord Inaba have also taken refuge in the Oda family, if the lord is still not at ease, he can first send someone to Sone Castle and Northern City to investigate, and after understanding the truth of the matter, it is not too late to make a decision. ”

After the retainer finished speaking, the other retainers hurriedly echoed: "Lord, if you want your family to continue to survive now, then there is only one way to go back to the Oda family, and please make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late to regret it." ”

Now that things have reached the point of no return, and seeing that the retainers are all in favor of the return of the family to the Oda family, they no longer hesitated, only to see him sit up straight, and said solemnly: "Everyone, I have decided that the family will break away from the Saito family from now on and join the Oda family. ”

I only heard the retainers say in unison from the bottom of their hearts: "The lord is wise"

Now that he has decided to join the Oda family, the more than 1,000 Saito family Ashigaru led by Hino Nehiro outside the castle are enemies, and there is no need to be polite to them, and he now needs to prove his determination to Oda Nobunaga with some practical actions.

Thinking of this, I only heard the clan Bu Quan speak: "Everyone, now that the family has returned to the Oda family, then we can no longer leave the enemy outside the city, so I decided to launch a fierce attack on the Saito army outside the city at the third watch, and now it is not early, so let's go down and rest." ”

"It's the lord, and the subordinates will go down and prepare."

In the middle of the night, I saw that the gate of Ogaki Castle was quietly opened, and a team of ashigaru under the leadership of the samurai rushed out without making any sound, and in order to keep quiet, no one rode a horse, including the clan. …,

A moment later, except for more than a dozen ashigaru guarding the town, there was not a single soldier in the city, and a mile outside the city, in the enemy's camp, because of the hurry, and the fact that the battle began without rest, including Hino Nehiro, was already exhausted, and even Ashigaru, who was in charge of guarding the camp, leaned against the fence and fell asleep, not realizing that death was getting closer and closer to them.

When the clan Bu Quan personally led more than 700 ashigaru to the distance of 500 meters away from the enemy camp, he saw that the ashigaru who had been sent to the front to investigate bowed down and cautiously rushed back from the front. ”

After hearing this, the family Buquan was overjoyed, and immediately ordered: "The whole army listens to the order, continues to advance carefully, and when it is 100 meters away from the camp, launch an attack and set off."

However, when the army under the command of the clan Bu Quan had just arrived a hundred meters away from the camp and had not yet launched an attack, suddenly, the shouting and killing behind the camp started, and as the shouting and killing gradually became stronger, the rear of the camp was in flames.

In the main tent, Hino Nehiro jumped up from the couch and shouted loudly in a panic: "Come on, come on"

"Report, lord, the enemy has come from the back tent, and now he has attacked the camp, the lord, seeing that the camp can no longer be saved, if you don't retreat, it will be too late, and please make a decision as soon as possible" A Hino Nehiro heard the call of the lord under the banner of Ashigaru, and walked in quickly, reporting in a row.

Hino Nehiro was shocked after hearing this, "What is the ashigaru who is in charge of defense doing, what does the bastard family Bu Quan, I X Nogen Hiroshi swear, I will definitely break you into ten thousand pieces." ”

I only heard the flag head light and stiffly said: "Lord, look at the enemy's back to the flag, it is not under the command of the clan, but... It's Mamoru Ando and Inaba Itchitetsu's ashigaru. ”

One clan Bu Quan is enough to make Hino Nehiro feel a headache, and now Inaba Yitetsu and Ando Mamoru have also led the army to come, in case the clan Bu Quan sends out the army to attack again, then he will really die without a place to be buried.

Thinking of this, Hino Nehiro didn't dare to hesitate for a moment, and after hastily putting on it, he took out the sword, and walked out of the ...... with the flag Ashigaru.
