"This ...... This...... What's going on? Shibata Katsuya asked dumbfounded.

"What's going on?" I asked rhetorically.

"What's going on?!" Oda Nobunaga stood at the door of the tent and asked sharply with his hand, and the generals behind him also had expressions of just biting their tongues. The tent of the Chinese army was quietly empty, and dozens of tables were filled with sumptuous banquets.

"That's what you're asking!" It dawned on me. "I think the lord and the lords must be very hungry, so I made some preparations! It's not bustling here, and it's time for a war! It's okay to say anything else, it's just that these fish are very ......."

"Who asked you this!" Oda Nobunaga interrupted my performance with a loud shout. "Is that what you're preparing here?!"

"The subordinates are confused! Subordinates damn it! "I made a "heartbreaking" look. "If the lord wants to bathe first, he has already prepared a ...... in the back tent."

"Shut up!" Oda Nobunaga's expression seemed to be unbearable. "What about Niwa Nagahide? Call him out for me! ”

"Niwa-sama! He ...... "I scratched my head. "I guess I'm still in Komaki Mountain Castle at the moment! At least that's what the briefing from the day before yesterday said......"

"You lied !!" Shibata Katsuya screamed like crazy. "It's clear that Niwa-sama's banner is everywhere here, and you dare to say he's not there! Say what's wrong with him? ”

"You're right, but ......" I shrugged helplessly and said, "I am a humble official and have no flag and insignia of my own. The lord assigned me to Niwa-sama to listen to it, so ...... The use of his flag is a matter of course! ”

"You...... You ......" he pointed at me with a trembling finger, unable to utter a word.

"Ha, ha、......" At this time, Oda Nobunaga suddenly laughed, only leaning forward and leaning back with laughter, and everyone looked at him in confusion. After a while, he stopped laughing and stared at me with his falcon-like gaze. "I can't think of it! …… It's unexpected! There was no longer a hint of a smile in his voice. You actually have such ability and prestige, a small Ashigaru general can mobilize tens of thousands of troops of my Oda family! You wouldn't say it was an empty camp, would you? Is there anyone I think I can still feel it! ”

"The lord is right, there are thirteen thousand soldiers and horses here! But ......" I secretly took a breath, I can't joke with this "demon king" casually. "The subordinates just relocated the troops who retreated here here, and this time the incident happened suddenly, and Komaki Mountain City really hasn't had a single soldier here!"

Oda Nobunaga sat on the main seat in the center without saying a word, just staring at me with his eyes.

I stood there with my head slightly down, and I felt beads of sweat on my back. The others looked at me and then at Oda Nobunaga, standing there looking at each other. Fortunately, it didn't take long for him to open his mouth.

"'Use soldiers to gather and disperse as usual', I can't imagine that you still have such a ability!" After saying this, he raised his hand and picked up his chopsticks, took a slice of sashimi and put it in his mouth.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief to see this. At this moment, Kusunoki Hayato, whom I had sent to observe the situation, crept into the tent, came behind me and pulled my sleeve.

"What's going on again?" Oda Nobunaga saw his movements.

"Tell the main hall...... "Seeing the look in my eyes, he began to report." From the hillside, I saw that the Ise coalition army was chasing the troops of Sasa Narumasa in the distance, and it was less than ten miles away! ”

Everyone's eyes were on Oda Nobunaga's face. I saw him pick up a glass of wine with an expressionless face and drink it slowly.

"Tadabei ......," Oda Nobunaga finally spoke. It's your territory, it's up to you! He uttered an order that would have surprised anyone.

"Yes! Subordinates obeyed. At this moment, I had no choice but to turn back to Kusunoki Hayato and say, "You go and order Keiji to burn the four pontoon bridges downstream, and then tell the boat upstream to get ready!" Then let Shikanosuke mobilize 5,000 spears and ashigaru ......"

"My lord! The Admiral asks to lead the army to attack! Shibata Katsuie deliberately ignored Nobunaga's order just now and interrupted me and said loudly.

Oda Nobunaga did not answer, but turned his gaze to me again.

"Oh...... Oh...... General Shibata is certainly loyal and commendable, but I ...... and said with a "ashamed" face: "My subordinates are incompetent, and I haven't had time to reorganize the system, so the soldiers can't line up at all now!" ”

"Whew!" Shibata Katsuie blushed, and my answer called him look like a super big fool.

Kazushi Nakamura, a close attendant, poured another full wine for Oda Nobunaga, and he raised his chin slightly towards me with the glass in his hand.

Seeing Oda Nobunaga's expression, I continued to say to Kusunoki Hayato, "It would be nice to ask Shikanosuke to arrange for 2,000 people to go to the woods on the hillside, so that they can see it on the other side of the river." He personally led the remaining 3,000 men to stand along the wooden fence outside the camp gate and face the other side of the river. Tell them to give me some energy! After watching Kusunoki Hayato go out, I said to Oda Nobunaga, "Please rest here with the lord and all the adults, and I'll go out and watch a little!" "With Nobunaga's permission, I walked out of the tent.

I came to the ferry again, and I was standing under the "stakes", and the four pontoon bridges were burning. Looking at the other side from afar, the figures of the brigade in the dust have disappeared from time to time. In a moment, they came to the opposite side. The first thing I saw was the defeat of Sazuo Chengzheng and his remnants of more than 500 people, and they were panicked and lost their former prestige. They scrambled to catch the last "way out" I had left for them, and needless to say, a large number of people were squeezed into the water, but fortunately they were all fished out in time by boat. I turned my head back to Keichi Maeda, and he nodded knowingly, then waved back. "Smack! Chirping~~~! With a bowstring sound, an arrow slid across the sky with a sharp whistle, and the flames of the wood-splitting boat upstream rose into the air.

Sasa Narimasa and his troops did not stop, and as soon as they got off the bridge, they went straight to the camp. Fortunately, they were few in number, and the blockade of the fence and spearmen did not cause much confusion. On the other side of the river, the enemy had already reached the bridge, and at the forefront was a large group of monks and soldiers with naginatas in their hands shouting loudly. "Superstition is ugly because it resembles religion too much; Orangutans are ugly because they resemble people! "I don't know whether to honor them or pity them, but I don't have room for sentimentality at the moment. After the second arrow was fired, the flaming fireboat slammed into the pontoon.

"Ah~!" The screams rang out as the fireship crashed, and the wooden bridge soon became a sea of fire. The people on the bridge were constantly pushing and trampling, and in order to quickly escape the disaster, they scrambled to jump into the water. Due to the heavy rain for several days, the water of the Xiaomu River swelled, except for a few people with strange water characteristics, the others hit the pontoon bridges downstream that were also burning with the turbulent river. The wide river was filled with smoke, screams, and the smell of burning. The pursuers on the other side stopped and watched in horror. Suddenly, Keiji Maeda: "Aha! Aha! He screamed, and was infected by him, and the 5,000 spears were also "Aha! Aha! He screamed.

There was no need to stay here any longer, and I turned around and took one last look at the heads on the stakes. "They really didn't die in vain!" I shook my head, and suddenly I noticed that Oda Nobunaga was staring at me from a distance.
