Chapter 16: Bad News
"The soldiers of Kono Castle, the soldiers of Morino Castle, listen to my orders! Immediately retreat in the direction of Nakono Castle! Shibata Katsuya gritted his teeth and rushed out of the tent and shouted.
"What? Fall back? The soldiers in the barracks looked at him puzzled. And some just stood up and obeyed the order and planned to retreat.
"This is a military order! Retreat now! Shibata Katsuya touched the letter with Nobuhide's body temperature in his arms, and his heart was mixed, maybe this time it might be the last time he saw Nobuhide.
"Yes!" The soldiers under his command did not dare to disobey, and even if they had doubts, they were just questions, and they regrouped and directly formed an army of more than 3,000 people. Advance along the rear of Morinoseki Castle.
Oda Nobuhide, on the other hand, was in front of the castle with a personal guard of less than five hundred men waiting for the second attack of Imagawa Yoshimoto's army.
"Damn! Why can't I find Yoshimoto Imagawa's main team! Nobuhide was furious, Maeda Toshiya went to look for the whereabouts of the Imagawa Army's team not long ago, but he didn't expect to be intercepted, and it was already noon, and there was no information about the whereabouts of Imagawa Yoshimoto's team! Of course, Nobuhide didn't expect that this time when Enoe sent troops to Imagawa Yoshimoto, he didn't go out in person at all, and he handed over the entire power to the Katsuyama clan and handed over to him one of the four kings of Imagawa. It can be said that Imagawa Yoshimoto's main team is in front of him, and the army of nearly 7,000 people at the foot of Morimo Castle is Imagawa Yoshimoto's main team!
"Report! Imagawa Yoshimoto's army has begun to attack! A fiery voice came from the mouth of a ashigaru.
"Hold on to the death, delay time for the Owari army!" Oda Nobuhide pulled out his katana at his waist and looked out of the city. "Soldiers of Owari, you are all good! Today, let's take a good look at how capable Yoshimoto Imagawa is! ”
Nobuhide already knew that he would probably die on the spot in this battle, but he didn't have any regrets, because there was another person in that Guye City who was many times stronger than him, and that person's heart was in the whole world, and that person's wisdom was very different from him, maybe this result was what Nobuhide wanted.
"Oda Kakuka, my son! You must spread the crest of our Oda family to the world! Oda Nobuhide's eyes welled up with tears, and then he rubbed his eyes directly with his right hand. Hum! Damn sand! ”
Oda Nobuhide didn't want the other soldiers to see his weak side, which would lower the morale of his side!
"How much stone and wood do we have in the city? Bring it all to the castle tower! Nobuhide waved his hand and told his men to prepare for the defense of the city.
He looked angrily at the castle tower of Senmo Castle and sighed. He never thought that his son was such a greedy person who was afraid of death, in the early hours of the morning, the city of Moriya was surrounded, and he almost received the news and immediately left, and he arrived here at dawn, and when he came here, he heard that Oda Nobuyuki had already run away, leaving the people of Morinomo and the soldiers to run away!
Nobuhide withdrew the camp to the interior of the castle tower of Morisue Castle and waited for the arrival of the Imagawa Yoshimoto army. But what he did made the Katsuyama clan suspicious.
"Why did Oda Nobuhide open the city gate and not resist? Is there a deception in it? The Katsuyama clan rode on his horse, staring at the tiny castle of Morinose. He was very puzzled, it stands to reason that the soldiers of Inuyama and Kiyosu Castle should have been assembled for such a long time, why did Oda Nobuhide retreat into the city? Does he want to catch a turtle in an urn? Or did he run away?
The Katsuyama clan squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, at this time the 1,000 or so troops that had penetrated into Owari did not send him any news, but Narumi Castle reported to him that there were about 1,000 Owari troops fighting with his own side.
Owari is full of seven or eight thousand troops, and now that we have dragged them to a thousand troops, is there nearly seven thousand troops in this castle of Morimo? No way! Absolutely impossible, there are our eyeliners on the march of Inuyama City Qingzhou City, it is impossible for them not to notice this, could it be that the eyeliner I arranged is all wiped out? How strong is this Owari!
Katsuyama has been thinking crankily, and his thoughts are completely different from Nobuhide's. One wonders why Nobuhide didn't resist, whether he was going to catch turtles in their urns. And the other one is already determined to die, and plans to give the Katsuyama clan Yuan to go to this Morimo City. It's a pity that the Katsuyama clan didn't have exact information, so he didn't dare to attack at will.
"What is the movement of the Imagawa Yoshimoto army?" Nobuhide turned his head and asked the air behind him. Yes, there was nothing behind Oda Nobuhide.
"My lord, the army outside the city has stopped attacking." And at this time, a dark shadow appeared in the empty place, and if Takigawa Kazuyi was here, he would know that this person was the ninja who threw a kunai at him, the shadow warrior of Oda Nobuhide.
"It's better if he doesn't attack! Delay as much as you can. Oda Nobuhide looked up at the sky, and the sun was already slightly west.
"Huh~~" Guo Jia's call to Ma Changhu heralded his arrival. He ran directly into the castle tower of Nakono, and the soldiers themselves intended to intercept him, but when they saw the person on the horse, they instantly wilted.
"Where's Nobuhide-sama?" Guo Jia asked on his horse.
"Nobuhide-sama has led his troops to Moriso Castle." The soldier standing guard said tremblingly.
"Drive!" When Guo Jia heard this, he didn't plan to dismount at all, but rode directly towards the inside of the city tower. Everyone who saw Guo Jia was surprised, and they didn't know who gave them the courage to ride a horse in the ancient wild castle tower.
The speed was very fast, and in a blink of an eye, Guo Jia arrived at the Guye Hall!
"Phew~" Guo Jia instantly turned over and dismounted, stepped into the council hall with one foot, and didn't even take off his shoes. That's right, he went straight to the council hall, and this kind of behavior is a great disrespect to the authorities.
Guo Jia was anxious and angry. Because his request for troops was unsuccessful, he did not even see a ghost when he was on the road. When he was about to enter the ancient field, he saw two grizzled ninjas. Before they could stop Guo Jia and explain to him, Guo Jia had already left. At this time, Guo Jia hurriedly entered the ancient no castle tower, but he didn't expect that there was no guard here, and he didn't even realize that Imagawa Yoshimoto had attacked Owari. How could he not be angry.
What's more, there were so many people gathered in the council hall, and they actually looked at him blankly with wine jugs in their hands. The one sitting at the head is none other than his younger brother Oda Nobuyuki!
"Guo Jia, what, why are you back?" Oda Nobuyuki didn't notice Guo Jia's anger.
And Guo Jia didn't answer his words, and rushed straight to the place where his katana was placed in the council hall, Zeng Ridge Treasure Knife out of the sheath This pressure cut Hasebe Guo Jia had never touched, and today in his fury he finally pulled out this knife.
"Guo Jia! What are you doing! Oda Nobuyuki didn't expect Guo Jia to swagger into the council hall, and after coming in, he drew his saber.
"What am I going to do! What do you say I'm going to do! Guo Jia walked up to his younger brother step by step with a knife. The killing intent in his eyes could no longer be suppressed, and Guo Jia was now eager to slash the person in front of him with a single sword.
"Enoe attacked Owari, you are drinking comfortably here? My father led his troops to resist, and you are here to have fun? Guo Jia's voice resounded in the council hall, and the knife in his hand was trembling, as if it was about to devour human blood.
"Faith! As a native of Morimo Castle, why didn't you fight off the invaders with your father? Guo Jia ignored the people present and asked sharply.
"Father, my father is so majestic, I, I don't have to help him at all!" Xinxing fell in front of Guo Jia, and the wine jug in his hand rolled out, and now he was already scared. He was really afraid that Guo Jia would directly take his life.
"Lord Guo Jia!" There was a voice outside the door of the council hall, and it seemed that Nobuhide's old minister had already received the news and rushed over.
"Why don't you, as your father's retainers, stop this? Let this group of people eat, drink and be merry here? Guo Jia turned his head and yelled at the group of people outside the door, including Masahide Pingshou, a teacher who grew up watching him grow up.
"Guo Jia! How can you do this to your brother? A woman's voice sounded, and that person was what Guo Jia didn't want to see. Tsuchida Gozen, Oda Nobunaga's biological mother came.
"Why can't I treat it like this! This greedy thing for life and afraid of death, I can't wait to cut him with a knife now! Guo Jia didn't intend to give this woman a good face at all, and with many years of experience in the workplace, he found that this woman had been targeting him in all aspects.
"Tie Masahide! Blasting this group out of the way, and gathering my father and my retainers! Come and negotiate a way to rescue my father! Guo Jia gritted his teeth, he had never killed anyone, whether morally or ethically, he couldn't kill his younger brother.
When everyone in the council hall heard Guo Jia's words, they seemed to have been amnesty, and they even avoided Guo Jia and escaped. And Oda Nobuyuki at his feet was so frightened that his legs were so weak that he couldn't move on his own. Guo Jia saw that the anger in his heart was even more agitated when he saw such a person, and he stretched out his leg and kicked him away.
"Oda Kakuga! Can't you hear what I'm saying? "Tsuchida Gozen was afraid that Guo Jia would kill Nobuyuki, so he asked Guo Jia rhetorically. But what she didn't expect was that Guo Jia wouldn't care about her at all, because in Guo Jia's eyes, this so-called biological mother was just a villain who always wanted to kill herself!
"If you talk nonsense, I'll even cut you." As soon as the words fell, the killing intent in Guo Jia's eyes seemed to be condensed into an entity to choose people and devour.
"Report! Katsuya Shibata is back! Without waiting for Tsuchida Gozen to react, Ichishigaru ran to the council hall to report. When he saw this scene in the council hall, he was already stunned, why did Oda Guojia come back? Why is Oda Nobuyuki like this? What are they doing?
"You said the Singer is back?" The first person to react after hearing the news was none other than Nobuyuki Oda. "Guo Jia, you wait for me!"
It's a well-known fact that Shibata Katsuya is a retainer of Oda Nobuyuki, but what I didn't expect was that Oda Nobuyuki was so excited when he heard the news of Shibata Katsuyuki's return, and even said something threatening Guo Jia!
"Isn't Shibata Katsuya fighting off invaders with his father?" Guo Jia was stunned, and a bad premonition rose in his heart. Don't?
"Let him come here quickly!" Guo Jia hurriedly ordered.
"The minister is here!" Shibata Katsuie's voice sounded in the distance, and the sound of Teng Teng's hurried footsteps also went from far to near.
"How's my father? What are you doing here? Guo Jia picked up the scabbard and withdrew his saber. Strode forward and asked.
"Nobuhide-sama is now in Morimo Castle with 500 troops against Imagawa Yoshimoto's 7,000 army, and the minister is back to bring rescue troops."
"That's not right! Father almost evacuated the entire ancient field, it could not be so little. ”
"Nobuhide-sama told us to retreat." Shibata Katsuie's voice stunned everyone present, but he didn't expect Nobuhide to give the order to retreat.
"It's hard to know where the yin is!" Guo Jia yelled straight into the air.
"The minister is here." In the surprised eyes of everyone, the figure of Takigawa Yiyi appeared in front of Guo Jia.
"Lead the Unknown Ruyin Regiment to blend into the Imagawa Yoshimoto Army and figure out all the information! Hurry up! Guo Jia waved his hand and gave the task. Singer! What about the retreating forces now? ”
Shibata Katsuya didn't expect Guo Jia to ask such a question. "There are about three thousand."
"Let's go! Rescue Father! Guo Jia pinned his katana to his waist and walked out of the council hall to mount his horse under the delightful gaze of Shibata Katsuie.
"Pass my orders! Inuyama Castle, Cheongju Castle dispatched all troops to suppress Narumi, if there is no military regulation! ”
