After nearly five hours of long-distance travel, we arrived at Atsuta Jingu Shrine at around 4 a.m., and by this time there were more than 2,000 people. Oda Nobunaga ordered a break for an hour.

"Finally able to catch my breath!" At the command, I immediately "collapsed" in the corner of the courtyard, and the cold dew on the blades of grass made me shiver, and for the first time in my life I regretted not strengthening my physical exercise. In the middle of the night, I almost ran away for more than ten years! Seriously! It's not like I didn't want to slip away. But when I saw the swords in the hands of the knights who were obviously "overseers" following behind, I immediately denied my "clever" idea.

Half an hour later, I was finally able to hear the rhythm of my breathing. With difficulty propping up my upper body, I turned my head to look around, and I began to look at this "shrine".

The exact name of Atsuta Jingu Shrine should be Atsuta Daimyo Shrine, which is dedicated to Atsuta Daimyo Shrine. There are many shrines of one kind or another throughout Japan, and many of them are dedicated to various great gods. Among the more famous ones are Atsuta Daimeijin (the guardian saint of the Oda family) and Suwa Daimeijin (the guardian saint of the Takeda family and the Suwa family). According to my speculation, the so-called Great Myojin is some historical figure who was revered as a protector after death. It is similar to the city gods in various parts of our country.

Atsuta Jingu Shrine covers a large area, about 5 or 6 acres in size. The temple is also very majestic, and you can imagine the prosperity of the year. It is not difficult to surmise that Atsuta Jingu also had strong supporters at the beginning. In the main hall on the front, it is said that there are still items used by Atsuta Daimeijin. It's just that now it looks a little dilapidated, and the paint and paint have long been mottled. It can be seen that the current supporters of the Oda family are not satisfactory in terms of financial resources.

I took the "breakfast" (two cold rice balls) from the leader of the gang and devoured them. At last night's banquet, Mitsumi was forced by Nobunaga to drink, and he didn't eat much at all. Coupled with the huge physical exertion of this half night, I was already hungry! sent troops in such a hurry, and I don't know who is so careful and still carries food. (Touching)

"I'll give you this too!" A hand reached out from the side, holding two rice balls on it.

I turned my head and saw a 14 or 5-year-old soldier. The thin figure and a well-mannered face looked so incongruous with the military uniform.

"Aren't you hungry? Why don't you eat at all? "I didn't take the rice balls from him.

"War is about to start! I...... I can't eat it. He shook his head.

"Then you have to eat ......"

"That's it! Once a battle starts, no one can say how long it will take, and it is not uncommon to fight fiercely for a day and a night! When the time comes, you don't need to be killed by the enemy, you yourself will be soft-handed and soft-footed" At this moment, a personal soldier who was only in his twenties but had a beard walked over. "Look at you like this...... Recruit eggs, right? ”

"Hmmm! I just enlisted in the army yesterday. The little soldier blushed and nodded. (Bad luck enough)

"I'll just say it! Look at the people......" said the older soldier as he pointed at me. "Not a few years older than you. I can eat and sleep, and I look like a veteran! (ashamed)

After chatting for a while, I learned that the little soldier was called Yamauchi Kazutoyo, and the older one was called Murai Sadakatsu. Both of them were born into declining samurai families, which is why they became Oda Nobunaga's personal soldiers. On their shoulders, they are all responsible for reviving the name of their family. "Okay! Two more Warring States celebrities. I thought to myself. However, in my memory, they were not brave and invincible generals, and they did not establish outstanding martial arts.

"This time! If you take the head of the enemy's general or capture the banner, you can become a true samurai! Yamauchi's plump face was red with excitement, and his eyes flashed.

"Not bad! Fighting this kind of battle is a good opportunity to make a contribution! Murai Sadakatsu's eyes also lit up.

"Stars seniors! What do you think! Kazutoyo Yamauchi suddenly turned the subject to me.

"Me...... Nature is to build merit (who cares!) Get ahead! And be sure to stay alive (that's the key!). Get glory and wealth! "I was unusually determined.

"Worthy of the Star Loyalty! Big-sighted and level-headed. If you die in battle, you can't talk about anything! The books I've read say that all famous generals know how to advance and how to retreat! Murai looked at me with admiration. I've heard your advice to His Highness Nobunaga, and it's amazing! ”

"So that person is you!" Kazutoyo Yamauchi's eyes were reverent.

"Ahh …… Yes! …… That's really nothing to brag about! "My face has a fever." I...... I'm kind of out of the way beforehand! ”

I stood up, said sorry to the two of them, and walked to the side. The first is that I haven't practiced to the point where I am not shocked, and the second is that under the dual effect of drinking last night and cold rice balls just now, my stomach needs to be cleaned urgently.

I walked lightly through the soldiers who sat on the ground in the courtyard, and then skirted the main hall in front of me, and finally found a quiet grove in the backyard.

"It's easy!" After a long breath, I stood up and did post-finishing. At that moment, there were suddenly several hurried shouts from the front yard, followed by a cacophony. I couldn't hear what was going on because there were so many people talking. "Assembled?" I ran forward with my belt on. Due to the urgency of time, I decided to pass through the back door of the main hall.

"Boom!" I hit my head on something and fell to the ground, and it shook with a rattle. The noise suddenly stopped, and the whole courtyard was eerily quiet.

"The divine armor resonates for no reason! This is a good omen for the gods to show us to wait......" Oda Nobunaga's voice sounded in front of him. That's when I realized that I had hit a pair of hanging armor. "With the blessing of Atsuta Daimeijin, this battle will be won!!" He continued.

"Victory!" "Victory!" A huge sound shook the eaves of the house.

"Let's go!"

When I heard that everyone in the temple had gone out, I rubbed my head and walked out. As I walked out of the main hall, I seemed to see Nobunaga, who was already on his horse, glancing at me.
