Chapter 42: Dawn

Late at night, Guo Jia was also groggy in the big tent of the barracks, and suddenly dreamed that he was still at work.

"Go make this report."

"Go write this notice."

One order after another was given to him, and he had to do this and that for them in order to get that meager salary, and to do tasks for them that were not his own.

"Master Guo Jia! The Imagawa army is on the march! Suddenly, just as Guo Jia was about to erupt, a voice broke the scene he saw.

"Huh? Imagawa Army? ”

Guo Jia opened his eyes and saw the familiar people and things in front of him, shook his head, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't help but think that he had crossed over to the present, and he was not the little clerk before.

"What is the marching route of the Imagawa army!"

The person who reported was Takigawa Kazuki, and the difficult and unknown Ruyin led by him had been monitoring every move of the Imagawa army, and the Imagawa army set off before seeing the light on this day, and it can be imagined that this Imagawa army was planning to take advantage of the darkness to act, and wait until dawn to catch them off guard.

"The two legions of the Imagawa Army are heading to Inuyama Castle at this time, but the Mikawa Army led by Matsudaira Motoyasu is heading towards Kiyosu Castle."

"You go to Hattori Hanzo and tell him that no one in Qingzhou City has taken it."

"My lord? Why? ”

Takigawa Kazuyi didn't understand why Guo Jia wanted to divide a city for his allies. It stands to reason that they shouldn't really occupy Qingzhou City.

"Takigawa Yiyi, look at the total strength of the Imagawa army."

"Fifteen thousand."

"The Mikawa Corps accounted for more than 4,000, and Imagawa Yoshimoto's idea was to let Motoyasu occupy Kiyosu Castle, and then there were two ways. One is that we engage them and let the Legion of the Three Rivers flank us from behind, or we can't beat them and we retreat and attack Nakono Castle in an instant. ”

The content of Guo Jia's analysis is indeed the same as Imagawa Yoshimoto's idea, but he never imagined that Guo Jia would make a third way.

"My lord, what about us?"

"Li Dai Tao stiff, draw salary from the bottom of the kettle, capture the thief and capture the king." Guo Jia only uttered three idioms, but these three idioms were tactics that made this battle extremely simple.

"I don't understand."

"If you don't understand, read it, learn if you don't understand it, and when the time comes, you will be even better at commanding."

After the two talked at night, Takigawa Kazuki took advantage of the darkness to find Hattori Hanzo's whereabouts, and it was very simple for the two ninjas to meet each other. At least it's easy to rate your troops to fight.

The sky was bright, Guo Jia also woke up the soldiers who were still asleep, it was much better to rest for a while than to rush to the battlefield, anyway, he now completely grasped the movements of the Imagawa army, and waking up the soldiers at this time was also the position where the Imagawa army marched to Inuyama for ten miles.

"Assemble!"

With Guo Jia's order, the people of the three legions all began to assemble.

"Distribute all the stone heights we brought for a day to the warriors, and distribute the rest to the residents of Inuyama."

The bottom of the kettle draws salary, and what is drawn is supply, and the Imagawa army will definitely bring a normal amount of stone to the battlefield when they march far away, but the places they use as supplies are Inuyama Castle and Kiyosu Castle, so what about these two cities?

"All the corps are reorganized, and the aggression is like fire!"

"In!"

"This battle is hard for you, one person goes to get a shield, and then helps the Lin Tuan relieve the pressure in a while."

This time, he didn't come over, and the task of defending against the rain of arrows from the archers was naturally handed over to the fire regiment, which also belonged to the ranks of the infantry.

"Qi Xu Rulin!"

"In!"

"The Iron Artillery Division first distributes the bow and arrow, and waits until the enemy approaches the Iron Cannon to load."

His Xu Rulin was divided into the Iron Artillery Department and the Bow and Arrow Department by Guo Jia, and the two of them fought far and close, and in this battle, they must now exert their ability to suppress, otherwise they will definitely suffer. The situation that can only hit close and not far will greatly reduce the suppression ability, and the Imagawa army will march faster.

"Swift as the wind!"

"In!"

"You march along the south, looking for the whereabouts of Imagawa's main team along the way, and then looking for the location of their military supply team. Look at the heavens, and as soon as the sun goes there, you will retreat back into the ancient wilderness. Remember not to engage them! ”

Guo Jia once again reduced the forces of his own side, but this caused irreparable consequences for Imagawa Yoshimoto.

"Adults are ready."

"Well, let's go out of the city to meet the enemy."

Here, benevolence and morality are placed at the highest point, and even when you are going to attack the city, the defenders must take into account the inhabitants of the city and go out of the city to fight, unless they are forced to retreat to the tower, then even then the besieging side cannot slaughter the inhabitants at will or rob their property.

Since Guo Jia distributed his property in order not to give the Imagawa army room for follow-up supplies, if they want to directly rob it, it will be a brutal army, and for morality, then they will be punished by the so-called heaven!

At this moment, the Oda army has been prepared, and the fire regiment and the forest regiment are standing outside Inuyama Castle in an orderly manner waiting for the arrival of Imagawa Yoshimoto.

At this time, there were many people in the distance, and the men and horses of the Imagawa army arrived, and the dense crowd of people made the scalps of several generals a little numb.

"It's coming!"

Guo Jia squinted his eyes, he was looking for the whereabouts of Imagawa Yoshimoto himself, but he had never seen this Toe daimyo, and it seemed that he had not obtained any information.

"It's the army of Yuanjiang Country?"

"Exactly!"

When the two sides approached, the generals came out of battle and began to shout. This is a normal phenomenon, and the generals on both sides want to boost the morale of their own side by doing so.

"Oh, if that's the case, please go back."

Guo Jia's words forced this person to be anxious, they came all the way to Owari, and after running around for so long, they were persuaded to retreat as soon as they came to call the board.

"The Imagawa army is raging, and there is no way, and there is no nameless army, are you not afraid of being punished by heaven?"

"Huangkou Xiaoer, how can our Imagawa army come from an unknown division! To tell you the truth, it was your Inuyama Castle Lord who invited us to rescue the beings of Owari! ”

"Good! Interesting! Well, I'll see who you call the Lord of Inuyama Castle. ”

At this time, the soldiers from the Imagawa military center suddenly separated the two sides like swords cutting through the waves, and they were making way for one person.

"Ladies and gentlemen! This is the lord of Inuyama Castle, Oda Nobuyuki, and the younger brother of this Owari daimyo. He complained to us that Owari Daimyo was mediocre and that we had come to eliminate the harm to the people! ”

"Good!" As soon as the general of the Imagawa army said this, a roar broke out from top to bottom.

"Interesting! Don't roar, don't roar, like beasts. ”

"Hahahaha." Guo Jia's voice happened to be heard by the generals on his side, after all, it was not a good word, and it was possible to anger this group of people if it was promoted.

At this time, the Imagawa army noticed something different, it stands to reason that they should be demoralized, how can they laugh out loud!

"I'm sorry, I'm what you call Oda Guojia."

"What? You are! Oda Kakuka! ”

"It's like a fake." After saying that, Guo Jia didn't say a word and looked at the general with a smile.

His meaning is obvious, that is, you are not worthy of talking to me now, hurry up and let Imagawa Yoshimoto come out.

"It's very good to have such a skill at a young age." There was a person in the Imagawa army who seemed to be responding to Guo Jia, but when his words sounded, the faces of this group of Yuanjiang soldiers were all fearful.

"Since you are here, you will come out directly, timidly and motionless, like a king." Guo Jia spoke directly, but few people could understand his words, except for those who were in constant contact with him. For example, the two generals beside him, their faces were flushed. Others don't know what Wang Ba is, but they do.

"What?"

At this time, Imagawa Yoshimoto finally slowly rode out of the Imagawa army.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm praising you! I praise you for living a long life! "Who wouldn't be bickering.

"Don't talk about it, let me tell you, the lord of your Inuyama Castle told us about your atrocities, and now we are here to punish you! Oda Kakuka, what else do you have to say? ”

"Huh? Shibata Katsuie, when did you collaborate with the enemy and commit treason? ”

"My lord, wronged, since I became the lord of the city, haven't I always been by your side to serve you! Where did I collaborate with the enemy and commit treason. ”

"That man Imagawa Yoshimoto said I was violent to you."

"My lord! If that's what, even if you have been violent to me, I still have to be grateful to Dade! Where will I sue? ”

Guo Jia and Shibata Katsuya sang and harmonized like this, not only disgusting to the Imagawa army, but also disgusting to their own people. Especially the soldiers looked at them with strange looks, although they knew that Guo Jia and Shibata Katsuya were joking at this time, but they still couldn't bear to look at them directly.

"Imagawa Yoshimoto, our Inuyama City Lord said that he didn't let you come, what did you say you did uninvited, how embarrassed you are from far away." Guo Jia's tone was teasing.

"Humph! Don't you know this person? Imagawa Yoshimoto pointed to Oda Nobuyuki. Now Oda Nobuyuki was followed by two soldiers with spears pointed at him.

"I know, why don't I know. Isn't that my brother? Although Guo Jia's face was still smiling, his language was getting colder and colder.

"Imagawa Yoshimoto, what is my brother doing with you. Forget it, thanks to your care these days, otherwise my stupid brother would have starved to death these days. ”

"Oda Kakuga! You're not done! ”

Imagawa Yoshimoto was furious, he knew that he had been tricked, but he still thought that if he held Guo Jia's own brother hostage, he would at least protect him morally. But he didn't expect Guo Jia to turn his face and deny people, even if they kidnapped Oda Nobuyuki, he would not waver at all.

"Am I finished? I'm done. I don't know how Brother Motoshin Okabe is doing with you. Guo Jia smiled and specifically mentioned a person's name.

"It seems that the Imagawa family was indeed betrayed by Motonobu Okabe." Imagawa Yoshimoto was no stranger to hearing this name, because not long ago, he had identified Okabe Motonobu's betrayal because of the surprise attack of the wind wheal, and personally killed the man who had followed him for many years.

"Huh? Who said he betrayed! Guo Jia had a smile on his face, he didn't know that Okabe Motoshin was dead, otherwise he would have to jump off the horse.

"What did you say?"

"Imagawa Yoshimoto, why don't you have a good brain? I'll tell you the truth, none of your Imagawa family four heavenly kings betrayed. Now there is one Katsuyama clan Yuan dead, and another has been captured by me, and there are only two left of the Four Heavenly Kings. ”

"You! You! ”

"What are you, Imagawa Yoshimoto, I tell you, we Owari didn't want to make trouble, but you have repeatedly provoked us, and now there is a nameless division of Daxing that caused this unprovoked battle, although our Owari is not as strong as you, but we are not soft bones! Soldiers, you say that now that someone has invaded my borders and invaded my territory, what should we do? ”

"Fight! War! War! ”

What Yuan Jiang didn't expect was that this war of words before the battle was actually dominated by Owari and greatly boosted morale, but this is a war, no matter how you say it, Yuan Jiang still has the strength to crush you!
