"How many troops does the enemy have?" I asked the messenger calmly. It was inevitable that they would be attacked, but there were four or five thousand people in Minong's three men combined, and if they needed help, how many enemy troops should there be? I was somewhat surprised by this.

"Back to Your Highness, there are about more than 10,000 people who attacked the three Highnesses?"

"More than 10,000?!" My surprise turned to surprise. It is undoubtedly the main force to mobilize so many troops, and it stands to reason that it is very unreasonable to do so when the strength of the Oda army has not been greatly damaged, and besides, when there is such an opportunity for a large-scale joint battle, why didn't Oda Nobunaga return to the division with all his troops? Wasn't he always looking for an opportunity to fight the main forces of Kiyi?

"Excuse me, what is the situation in the main hall? Do you need us to wait for the effect? "Hanbei Takenaka asked the question in my mind in a very strategic way.

"There are also a large number of enemy troops around the main army...... "The messenger reported the battle without concealment." But the enemy army only divided into countless small groups and flickered, and from time to time attacked and harassed on the edge of our army, but when our army attacked, they disappeared again! The lord has stopped now, but he has not taken action under the uncertainty of the situation......"

I figured it out, it turned out that he was afraid of being ambushed and wanted to test the depth of the water with me! "I will send troops immediately, please tell the lord to rest assured!" I sent the messenger back. "What do you think about this?"

"It's not easy to say......" Hanbei Takenaka thought about the wording, after all, it was his father-in-law who was "trapped" inside. "It seems that Kiyizhong may want to remove another piece from the retreating Oda army and expand some of the results, but it cannot be completely ruled out that they have other tricks! Therefore, for the sake of prudence, it is necessary to be thoughtful in the process of assistance! ”

"Then I, Keiji, Caizang, Shengmeng, and a few of them, will go with cavalry, iron artillery, and half of the infantry; You take Kanosuke and Nagamori with the other half of the infantry, protect the baggage, and continue to advance according to the original route! Seeing him open his mouth, I hurriedly said, "That's it!" In case you rush forward, you can get closer to the troops of His Highness the front team. ”

"Yes, my lord!" The Takenaka Hanbei obeyed my decision, but it wasn't without concerns. "When the main force of our army moves, the entire formation changes, will there be any ......?"

He didn't continue, but I understood what he meant. "There is this possibility, the gap between the back teams is too big! You should inform Yushiba......" I said and looked back, but I was taken aback. The "monkey" who was still following behind just now is nowhere to be seen at this moment. "What's going on?!" I looked at the half-guards of Takenaka in surprise.

"Could it be ......" Ah Xue didn't hold back the worry in her heart, and said half a sentence softly.

"Impossible!" I shook my head with the half-guard of Takenaka. Joke! I don't know what Takenaka Hanbei thinks, even if the "monkey" is in a hurry to achieve quick success and not distinguish between the true and the fake, but how can he not be killed so silently, and besides, there is a Kuroda Kanbei next to him! With this gloomy, vicious and ambitious "No. 2 Genius Military Division", the growth of Hashiba Hideyoshi's strength can never be calculated in the Dao!

"It's really unlikely!" After thinking about it, Ah Xue herself felt incredible, and shook her head with a red face.

"Can you go or not?" Seeing that we were hesitating here, Shinhachiro, whose heart had already flown away, complained dissatisfiedly.

"Then let's do it first!" I also don't think it's useful to be suspicious here. "Send someone to find him on the way back and report on the situation here! Chongzhi, you also hurry forward, we will chase you when we are done! ”

"Yes, take care!" The half-guard of Takenaka nodded vigorously and urged the horse forward. With a few shouting commands, Yamanaka Kanosuke and Nagano Yemori waved at me in the distance, and then each led a thousand ashichi under their command to follow, and more than 100 carts full of tents and food also "purred" in the heavy protection.

"Lord!" Keiji Maeda, Katsutakeshi Shima, Ka'er Sezo, Kazuda Kazusu, Kusunoki Mitsunari and Ishikawa Tadsunachi gathered in front of me after receiving the order.

"Is there anything unusual nearby?" I asked Kusunoki Mitsunari.

"There are no ,...... near us," he replied with a frown. …… But the situation in the west is not easy to say! There, many troops of various sizes were divided into a large area, and they were fighting against the Mino trio. Judging from the latest information, the troops of the three are showing signs of disintegration due to the unconventional attack! ”

"Is the Yuchai Reserve that is following us under attack?" I thought about it for a moment and asked.

"Nope!" Kusunoki Mitsunari shook his head very affirmatively. "They weren't attacked, but they suddenly turned back a while ago without informing us of the reason!"

"Send someone back to say that we are going to the West Road to rescue the follow-up reserve team, and ask them to be careful of their situation!"

"Yes!" Xue replied with a wave of her hand, and one of the guards' heralds immediately rode back.

"Victory is ahead; Cai Zang and one count in the center; Rear of the Cavalry; The ninja and the ninja army opened a certain range of detection...... "I formulated a strategy this time, but in fact there is no strategy, just constantly reminding everyone and myself to be cautious." There was no objection, and the 3,000 men began to move westward.

"Bang!" A projectile flew in, but did no damage. Of course, the distance of 200 meters was completely beyond the effective range of this weapon, so it fell to the ground with a clatter about 30 meters away from me.

I don't know how many times it was, and we were constantly harassed by this flea along the way. Because of their size and mobility, it is not worth sending troops in pursuit, and I doubt that this will serve the desired purpose. The ninjas and the ninja army have effectively shielded them from the main force, but if you want to completely destroy them, you must catch up, and I don't have such abundant "energy" at the moment.

But anyway, this set of tactics has entered my mind, and I am quite impressed! As a "guerrilla" tactic, in fact, it will undoubtedly be more powerful if it is carried out by professionals!

After walking for 20 minutes, we approached the battlefield. It was discovered that several troop forces of dozens of people were spinning around like headless flies, chasing the Kiyi people between the woods and hills!

"You're here? What about His Highness Ando? "A ashigaru head was brought to me, and I recognized them from the soldier's side flag.

"Returning to Your Highness...... "These people are now a little anxious because they have experienced a period of "torture". "Our army originally encountered the main force of Kii Zhong Matsutabe and easily defeated them! We thought they would be wiped out quickly, but in the course of the pursuit they kept breaking into pieces, so our forces became more and more scattered, and by the time we found out, the troops were already in tatters! ”

"How so!" Shinhachiro hatefully smashed the "Shura's Fury" in his hand towards a tree on the side, and Fang Yuan's crown fell to the ground. In the minds of a samurai like him, it seemed that there would only be one way to war.

"Let's go!" I made no comment, and the troops continued to move forward.

Soon, in a relatively open hilly area, we ran into Mamoru Ando's main team. There are only more than 1,000 people around him at the moment, and Inaba Yitetsu and the clan Buquan are also gone. They were besieged by about 3,000 enemy troops, of which only about 1,000 were Kii people, and the rest were actually monks and soldiers as the backbone.

"No wonder they popped up so much at once!" It was only then that it dawned on me.

The people of the country with the flags of Matsuda, Furuhashi and others constantly shot at Ando's phalanx with iron cannons and bows and arrows, and although they were not very dense, it was clear that they were very good at these weapons. The Ando Army has very few long-range weapons, and people are constantly falling in the face of attacks. Dressed in bells and whistles and armed with a mess of weapons, they stood aside in confusion and waited, they could not defeat the regular troops in a joint battle, and now they would rush up and start a "swarm" battle just as the Ando army was in chaos.

Our arrival caught the attention of both sides, and Ando's army began to slowly move closer to us. I don't know if the commander has always been a supreme idiot, and the ordinary people with weapons in their hands began to rush towards us shouting the Buddha horn, and Kiyizhong was somewhat aware of the situation.

"Spears are lined up! Iron artillery is ready! The cavalry pursued Ji Yizhong...... "As my order came out, the spears of Shima Katsu Takeshi and Keer Caizo quickly formed an arc-shaped formation in front; The iron artillery garrison quickly dispersed through the gap to get in front of them, and raised the muzzle of the black hole in front of the rushing crowd; A thousand armor cavalry rushed out from both sides, ignoring even the fanatics who were trying to stop them, and kept chasing after the retreating Kiyi.

"Why don't you go? I don't actually need protection here! I didn't look back and kept my eyes on the front, but the few people around me knew I was saying this to Shinhachiro.

"It's boring!" Shinhachiro looked at the ground and said listlessly, "I want to fight for the real thing, and these people on the other side are also worthy of being called 'enemies'?" ”

"Bang, bang, bang、......" Before I could educate him a little more, the iron cannon in front of me rang out.

In the face of the huge casualties inflicted by the iron cannons, the fanatical believers once again taught me the power of "faith", and after half of them were knocked to the ground, they came to the front of my formation. At this time, the iron cannon Ashigaru that was originally there had already returned to the formation from the same way, and the rearranged Ashigaru greeted the people who rushed up with the tip of the snowy spear!

Even though I was already very immune to the bloody scenes, I was not interested in watching it with excitement. Looking at the edge of the forest in the distance, the cavalry led by Keiji Maeda had already caught up with the target, and another "massacre" was about to unfold......
