The afterglow of the setting sun spread throughout the entire Morisue Castle, and the fiery clouds in the distance and the burning Morisue Castle Tower reflected each other. There was a fierce battle here, and both sides of the battle left. After obtaining the body of Oda Nobuhide, Guo Jia evacuated with his Oda army, and the Imagawa army had just taken Morisue and had to stay here in order to stabilize his footsteps.

"Master Guo Jia! Next? "Shibata Katsuie had a corpse wrapped in a shroud on his horse, and Shibata Katsuie was holding the reins of the horse with one hand and holding the corpse with the other. That's right, this corpse is too important for him, for Guo Jia, and for the whole Owari.

"Go back to Nakono Castle and prepare for your father's funeral." Guo Jia didn't turn his head, he didn't want to see Oda Nobuhide's dead appearance. "I'll take someone to pick up Maeda Toshiya and Inuyama Kiyosu Army."

"Your Excellency!" Shibata Katsuya wanted to say something, but when he saw Guo Jia's somewhat moist eyes, he closed his mouth and turned his horse's head towards Nakono Castle.

"Stop! The cavalry on the right flank, the fastest one, quickly found the position of the Maeda Toshiya and Inuyama Kiyosu Castle army for me. Left flank cavalry, go back and see if there is a tail following us. Guo Jia raised his hand and stopped the march. At this time, the sun had set, the sky was almost completely dark, Guo Jia was leading his troops to Minghai City, he didn't want to be dumplings by Geshan Yuan.

"Do you still have the strength to continue marching?" Guo Jia's eyes lowered and he looked at the mighty soldiers in front of him.

"Yes!" What was different from Guo Jia's imagination was that this group of soldiers could still say such things, but it was thought that they had been marching all day and had fought two battles. The first time there were many casualties, and the second time there were only 100 casualties led by Guo Jia, and they didn't eat or drink for a whole day!

"I'm glad you said that. As a commander, I was also a little embarrassed. I was going to take you back to Morimo, but I withdrew my troops. You don't blame me? ”

"Nope! Although Lord Guo Jia withdrew his troops, we at least let the Geshan clan lose nearly 1,000 troops, and we won this battle! "The army is full of iron-clad men, and there are many people who have followed Oda Nobuhide to fight the world. Of course, they knew the priorities, and they would not resent Guo Jia because of his withdrawal, after all, no matter how Guo Jia's father was also killed in the offensive and defensive battles, his mood was heavier than that of the soldiers.

"But we've also lost a hundred soldiers! They spend time with us! But we left them forever! It was my mistake! A sad and angry voice came out of Guo Jia's mouth, yes, he is now boosting morale.

"You have been fighting with me all day, and you have not eaten or drunk, do you really want to leave me again? I can't bear it! ”

This is Guo Jia, before and after the war, he can boost morale and buy people's hearts in infinite ways, and he can be insidious and cunning in wartime, and he can achieve victory at all costs. He is a person with great problems in his own right.

"Pass my orders! The whole army repaired on the spot for an hour, ate and drank and was ready, and then continue the march! ”

Now that Oda Nobuhide is dead, Shibata Katsuya is heading to Nakono Castle, and the biggest commander of the entire Oda Army is this young man who is less than twenty. Guo Jia's words are the biggest order! Even if they still want to move forward, as long as Guo Jia does not agree, they will not be able to act.

"戾" is still the same eagle falcon cry, I don't know what the news brought by the Yin Tuan is like this time.

"Inuyama Castle dispatched 800 troops, and Kiyosu Castle 700 troops, have converged with Maeda Toshiie's team, and Narumi Castle is surrounded, but it cannot be defeated. There is only one day's worth of grain and grass left. "Finally good news.

The convergence of the two cities of Inuyama Kiyosu and the Maeda Toshiya team has relieved the pressure on the Maeda Toshiya, and now they have also surrounded Narumi Castle, but because of the lack of military food, they cannot occupy Narumi Castle, and now there are only two choices, one is to retreat, and the other is to wait for Guo Jia and their support. At this time, Guo Jia weighed the pros and cons in his heart, and planned to let Maeda Toshi's team retreat.

"Soldiers! I have good news and bad news for you, which one are you going to hear first. After Guo Jia took the messenger bamboo tube, he did not let the falcon leave, but sat on the horse and used it for two purposes, bowing his head and writing something, and talking to the soldier in his mouth.

"Good news!" The soldier closest to Guo Jia spoke directly.

"Well, the Maeda Toshiya has surrounded Narumi Castle." Guo Jia's news is undoubtedly exciting. Although his voice could only be heard by a few people, as soldiers, they would pass it on quickly.

Just by writing time, Guo Jia could feel the restlessness of this group of soldiers.

"The bad news is that I can't take you to occupy Narumi, and my father's bones are still cold, and as the eldest son, I have to go back to my father's death." Guo Jia had already rolled up the letter and put it back in the bamboo tube and let the falcon go.

Of course, this group of soldiers was not surprised at all when they heard Guo Jia say such words, because in their minds, Oda Nobuhide died and they also wanted to worship together. And not long ago, after watching the death of their friends who had been with them all day and night, they began to hate war again.

Guo Jia turned over and dismounted, his right hand was slightly behind his back, if he hadn't learned the skill of riding a horse, it was estimated that Guo Jia would have to lie on the bed the next day and couldn't get up, his right hand rubbed his aching buttocks, twisted his waist. Feeling much better, I walked among the soldiers who were eating dry food, chatting with them without a word.

It was completely dark, and Banla Moon looked at the earth shyly. The cold wind began to howl again, whipping the Oda army with the damp smell of the sea.

"Fifty years of life, like a dream, there is life and death, what regrets a strong man." The sad and majestic poem was sung from Guo Jia's mouth, and the soldiers who heard his voice shed tears one after another, and some veterans also cried bitterly, they remembered the commander, the great name who had led them in the southern and northern wars.

"Let's go." With Guo Jia's sigh, they also stood up one after another, and continued to move towards Minghai City with heavy steps. The cavalry that had gone back had also returned, and there was no tail behind them.

There were still insects and birds singing along the way, only the cold winter wind howling, which whined as if it understood their mood, like a desolate woman who had lost something important and wept in the sky.

On the way, they picked up the soldiers who went to look for Maeda Toshiie's team, and they found the soldiers of Maeda Toshiie's team in the dark night. Of course, Maeda's Toshiie team also received the news of Oda Nobuhide's death, and reluctantly retreated from Narumi Castle. Finally converged, from the very beginning of the 3,000 troops, gathered into this 5,000 troops. They were walking towards the ancient city.

"Wu Gexi wearing rhino armor, and the car is wrong and short-handed. "The entire Oda army moved slowly, and the soldiers Guo Jia, who had been fighting for a day, didn't want them to be too tired, so Guo Jia deliberately slowed down and sang a poem for them....... "The body is dead, the god is the spirit, and the soul is resolute."

The soldiers couldn't understand the meaning of Guo Jia's poems, but they could hear the sadness in Guo Jia's heart. The sun was rising, and the ancient castle appeared in front of them. What is different from the previous is that at this time, the sky put on a white mourning dress for the ancient wild city, and the pedestrians all hung their heads and wept. It seems that Shibata Katsuie has told the residents of Nakono Castle the news of Nobuhide's death.

"My lord? We? "A centurion came to ask Guo Jia, you must know that soldiers cannot enter the ancient no castle tower, except under special circumstances.

"Come with me, you are all good warriors who were born and died with your father, so please pay homage to your father as well." Guo Jia had already dismounted and handed the reins to the soldiers defending the city. Ignoring the others' obstructions, he pushed open the city gate and let the thousands of Oda troops behind him enter the Nakono castle tower.

The soldiers entered the castle tower like a long dragon, and the place immediately became congested. The people on the road were shocked when they saw this scene, and they were about to go up to report it, but they scattered their thoughts after seeing that the leader was Guo Jia.

"Oda Guojia, do you have me as a mother in your eyes! Are you rebelling? When Guo Jia and the soldier behind him walked to Oda Nobuhide's mourning hall, Tsuchida Gozen asked fiercely. She had never seen such a battle before, and fear crept through her heart.

Saito Guidie and Takenaka Hanbei have come to Nakono Castle, and the two of them have been holding their breath in their hearts, since returning here, Tsuchida Gozen has been stumbling on them everywhere, and almost caught Takenaka Hanbei. Seeing Guo Jia come back, Gui Die also breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to go to comfort Guo Jia, but she sensitively found that Guo Jia exuded a feeling of indifference.

"Wu Gexi was rhinoceros armor, and the car was wrong and short-handed. The sun is like a cloud, and the arrows are falling and the soldiers are vying to ......be the first," Guo Jia once again sang the poem called "National Martyrdom" that he had learned when he was a student. He half-knelt in front of Nobuhiderei, ignoring Tsuchida Gozen's words and not paying attention to Gui Die.

And the army of thousands of people behind him knelt down one after another, and this group of iron-clad men all burst into tears, this scene was much better than those who put on a show in the Xinxiu Spiritual Hall. Both Tsuchida Gozen and Oda Nobuyuki were crying wolves at first, but at this time, Oda Jun's cries showed a hint of ridicule on their faces. Fortunately, no one saw this scene, otherwise they would have to fight.

"The old minister got the letter from Lord Nobuhide, I don't know if I can read it at this time." Hiratite Masahide wiped away his tears on the side, and the person he asked was none other than Guo Jia.

"Grandpa, you can read it." Guo Jia nodded, this title is how Nobunaga called Hirate Masahide when he was a child, and at this time he said it directly from his mouth.

At this time, Hirate Masahide took out a letter from his sleeve, and although the letter was crumpled, Hirate Masahide still respectfully unfolded it. "At the moment of the great enemy, I want to lead my troops to fight, but I am old, and I am afraid that I will die today. But now I will write down the oracle, and if I die, I will appoint heirs according to what is written in it, and if I live. Alas, my lord is going with the will to die. He didn't even think about the hope of survival. Hirate Masahide read this, tears flowed down.

"I will die now, and I will pass on the throne to Oda Guojia after death." Hirate Masahide read out the last sentence and handed the edict to Guo Jia. The faces of the crowd were cloudy.

"The retainers take the order." Guo Jia pointed the oracle in his hand towards everyone and shouted, "From today onwards!" Owari announced that he would not share the sky with Yuanjiang Kingdom, and one day I Guo Jia would kill them to avenge my father! Soldiers of the Oda family! Will you join me in driving the invaders back to their homeland? ”

"Fight!" The grief-stricken Oda army heard Guo Jia's words and was instantly demoralized, and the earth-shattering battle cry came out of their mouths, overpowering the voices against Guo Jia Chengwang, and in the battle cry of thousands of soldiers in unison, their voices were so insignificant.
