"The mountain group is coming."

"I know, that's going to have to be withdrawn." Guo Jia shook his head, they had just withdrawn to Inuyama Castle now, and the Imagawa army did not stop attacking but planned to capture it in one fell swoop.

Guo Jia and Shibata Katsuie walked among the soldiers who were slumped on the ground resting, their armor dyed black by the blood donations of unknown enemies. The face is also bloody, and I can't see their faces clearly.

The hands of a few soldiers were still trembling, but the weapons in their hands had not been put down, the worn three-pronged guns had lost their due light, and the black blood stains had completely infected their carefully maintained weapons. The wooden armor on their chests was tattered and scarred all over it, and some of them could even be seen hiding inside armor.

"Where has the mountain group gone?"

"It's less than a mile away, and the Imagawa army has already sent troops to intercept it."

"Okay, whole army. Let's go. Guo Jia closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and let out a shout from his chest: "All the soldiers of the Oda Army! Stand up, we still have a fight! You can't stop and rest at this time! ”

In an instant, all the soldiers of the Oda family stood up directly from the ground and surrounded Guo Jia among them, Guo Jia was now their supreme commander, and no one dared to resist him after he issued the military order.

"My lord, Matsudaira Motoyasu's Three Rivers Legion has already surrounded Cheongju Castle, and now it is a matter of time before the city falls. And if we retreat, Inuyama won't be able to keep it! In addition, after the Miyoshi people occupied Narumi Castle, it seems that there is still a movement to attack the end of the forest! ”

Shibata Katsuya is exactly what the current situation in Owari is, and one of the things that should be corrected is that the Miyoshi people really want to eat the two castles of Moriya and Tsukake, and they also want to eat Nakono, but they are still afraid that the tiger of Nakono will suddenly bite them, so they just give up.

"Shibata Katsuie, you remember, no matter what, you must take the overall situation into account, otherwise it will be too late to regret once something goes wrong. Retreat. ”

After Guo Jia finished speaking, he walked towards his war horse, and patted him on the shoulder when he passed by the Katsuya, the difference between Shibata Katsuya and Maeda Toshiya is that the former has courage and strategy, but he is not brave enough to be brave, while the latter has courage but no self-planning, blindly obeying Guo Jia's orders and not knowing how to be flexible. But Guo Jia is very attentive to the two.

Shibata Katsuie can analyze problems, but he lacks the means to solve them himself, and if he is taught some ways to use soldiers, his fire will definitely shine. If the strength of the fire regiment is now 30%, then if he is given a general who is resourceful and has a harmonious personality, then he can play 10%! In the same way, Maeda Toshiie's blind obedience to orders will not be flexible or functional, and if he is allowed to learn more tactics and tricks, he will definitely turn Qi into a terrifying army that will be feared by anyone.

The personalities of Sasa Seimasa of the forest group and Kawajiri Hidetaka of the mountain group are still slightly different from these two groups, but the problem is not big, and these two people say that he is good, just like that, say that he is not good, and sometimes he can remind Guo Jia of some things, which can only be regarded as modest.

Soon after, the two legions were reorganized, and some of them were assigned to take care of the wounded, and it can be said that the only people who could fight the mob outside the city were four or five hundred fire regiments and the iron artillery of the forest regiment.

"Damn, I hate myself to death." Guo Jia gritted his teeth. If it weren't for his decision-making mistakes and a head-on confrontation with Imagawa Yoshimoto, there might have been such a big problem.

"Takigawa Kazuyi, have you found the location of their grain and grass?" Guo Jia asked lightly, and what responded to him was the breeze in his ears. Looks pretty close!

"Your Excellency, you're ready!" Time is too tight, and now we have to take care of what's in front of us.

"Okay, let's go!"

"My lord, I don't understand, why retreat? And why don't you take care of other castles in Owari? ”

Shibata Katsuya asked the point, this is what Guo Jia wants to say, and it is also a trap that he has carefully planned.

"What would you do if you were Yoshimoto Imagawa now?" Since Shibata Katsuya wants to know if he wants to learn, then Guo Jia tells him what about it.

"I'm going to chase after it!"

"You deserve it!" Guo Jia was like a teacher, and scolded Shibata Katsuya angrily.

"Arrogance! Focus only on immediate interests, regardless of the overall situation! You chase the courage who gave you! ”

"No, sir! We have all shown such a big disadvantage, what are we waiting for if we don't pursue? ”

"So you said we're at an impasse?"

"Of course not!" At this time, Shibata Katsuya somewhat understood what Guo Jia meant, he completely regarded himself as Imagawa Yoshimoto just now, and he didn't judge it at all in combination with the current Oda Army's ability.

"Then there you go. Know yourself and know your opponent in a hundred battles! I obviously don't have a disadvantage here, why should I retreat? Why should I give up so many cities? Guo Jia nodded with satisfaction, because he saw Shibata Katsuie's expression.

"Lord Guo Jia, do you think you want to wipe out the entire Imagawa army in one fell swoop?"

"Yes." Guo Jia made a positive sound.

"Then what are you going to do with giving up so many cities? And if Matsudaira Motoyasu attacks us together at this time, won't they be faster! ”

"Kiyosu was given to Matsudaira Motoyasu and them to settle down, and what if Inuyama let Imagawa Yoshimoto occupy it? Anyway, Yuanyasu will help me take it back. Guo Jia paused, he thought that Shibata Katsuya might not understand the practice of abandoning the city, so he continued to explain.

"And if Motoyasu gets Kiyosu City, he will be able to supply a wave here, and not only that, but he can also help us cut off Imagawa Yoshimoto's retreat. If you attack them directly, as you said, you may not be able to completely annihilate them, and Imagawa Yoshimoto may retreat. After he gets Inuyama, he will naturally use this place as a supply station, but this supply station is Motoyasu to the west, Mino to the north and east, and Nakono to the south, where can he run to? ”

After listening to Guo Jia's words, Shibata Katsuya's eyes lit up. I see, it turns out that his idea is not to repel ah, it turns out that Guo Jia has always had the intention of completely destroying the Imagawa army!

"Alright, let's prepare what is in front of you." Guo Jia turned over and got on the horse, the Oda Army had also been reorganized, and the figure of the mountain regiment also appeared in their field of vision. It's time to retreat and deceive Yoshimoto Imagawa!

"Have you prepared all the red oil you prepared?" Guo Jia did his best for this retreat battle, and he ordered the red oil of the bow and arrow department of the Lin Tuan to be collected and put into a clay jar to make a simple hand-held thunder. Although this is a bit inhumane, mercy to the enemy is cruelty to oneself!

"When I charged for a while, all the people in the Iron Artillery Department gave me a group of five people to take turns firing the cannons, only hitting a straight line, and the path was the position of the mountain regiment. I was killed by the fires that hit our formation! "The most conspicuous thing now is Guo Jia's formation of sending troops, all the members of the bow and arrow department of the Lin Regiment are taking care of the wounded, some improvised stretchers made of wood and cloth are carrying soldiers who are seriously injured or unable to move their legs, and others are being supported. Almost all of those who were slightly injured were armed with swords and had to fight the Imagawa army!

These people are in the center of the formation, which is where the generals stay. On both sides were the soldiers of the fire regiment, and directly in front of them was the iron artillery department of the forest regiment. The fire regiments on both sides and the iron artillery headquarters of the forest regiment formed an awl-shaped battle formation.

"Ready! Open the door! ”

At this time, there were still people in the Imagawa army waiting for them to appear outside the castle tower, but as soon as the gate of the castle tower opened, they were greeted by iron cannon projectiles the size of little fingers, bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Only four rounds of shooting tore a hole alive, and Guo Jia and the others successfully rushed into the enemy army! At this time, the aggressive soldiers once again showed the wolf nature in their bones! They tore through the Imagawa soldiers who were pounding their formation like meat grinders.

"Hey! Light the fire and get ready. Guo Jia turned around and told the soldiers with red oil incendiary bombs that they were ready to use his secret weapon.

"When you get out of the castle tower, throw it in and burn it for me."

Guo Jia's plan is even more ruthless, he is asking Imagawa Yoshimoto, if I burn down the warehouse in Inuyama, you don't care. For Guo Jia, anyway, the Inuyama warehouse didn't even burn anything, so it burned down. But this is not the case for Imagawa Yoshimoto, who doesn't know if there is anything here, and it is better to protect resources than to chase a loser.

"Set me on fire!" Guo Jia gave an order, and those thunder-holding soldiers took out the fire fold and lit the cotton cloth, and threw the porcelain jar towards the Inuyama Castle Tower with all their might, which was fire oil, and the city gate was set on fire in an instant, and Guo Jia also arranged some hay and waited for it to be burned.

But one thing is that he will never let Inuyama Castle turn to ashes, so he does not prepare hay inside the castle tower at all, but if the fire spreads, it is impossible to say, anyway, he believes that Imagawa Yoshimoto will definitely not let the fire spread. Of course, there were a few fire thunders that were thrown at the inside of the Imagawa army.

Such a simple move made the scene chaotic in an instant, yes, he just wanted this effect, the more chaotic the better, so that it would be easier for them to retreat.

"Continue to break through!" I have to say that their breakthrough this time is very smooth, the sky will gradually darken, and they will quickly converge with the mountain group at this speed, once they meet, who can find them when the sky is completely dark!

The sound of iron cannons sounded like waves of the sea, and their projectiles were like waves crashing into the encirclement of the Imagawa army, and as long as they opened a gap, the Oda army would drill into it.

The beacon fire and wolf smoke reflected the entire Inuyama, and the heart-rending roar and screams continued to sound.

"Kill!" The aggression was so enraged that even their general, Katsuya Shibata, dismounted and rushed into the crowd of enemies to fight.

His silver-tipped spear flew through the crowd without blood, but every time it flashed cold, it took a person's life!

"My lord! It's a mountain group! ”

"It's Lord Guo Jia!"

The sky was completely dark, and it was at this time that Guo Jia and the others finally converged with the immovable mountain, and the next thing was to retreat quickly!

"Damn! Damn it! Fight the fire first! "Imagawa Yoshimoto also knows that there is no way to stop Guo Jia now, and now he can only put out the fire first and wait for the news that Matsudaira Motoyasu has occupied Cheongju City, and then attack Guo Jia and them together!

"Whole army! Fight fires and take care of wounded soldiers! ”
