A few days later, when Oda Yoshinobu led his army to leave Sumamata, Saito Ryuko quickly got the news. After all, there are more than 800 living people, and in order to reach Omi as soon as possible, Oda Yoshinobu also tries to choose the main road to walk. If none of the Saito spies could have discovered this situation, the Saito family would have disappeared into history.

However, Saito Ryuxing did not plan to attack at this time, as Oda Yoshinobu thought, Saito Ryuxing did not dare to gamble. Because once the attack is successful, then no matter whether the dog is robbed, killed, or sent directly to Omi by the Saito family, the Asai family will also feel that they have been beaten in the face by the Saito family.

In this day and age, dignity and honor are always the things that most samurai care about the most, let alone such a big thing? So once the Asai family is angry and sends troops to Mino, then Saito Ryuxing is really too late to cry. But let him let go of such a good opportunity, Saito Ryuxing was reluctant.

You know, that's Oda Yoshinobu! The number one general of the Oda family, Oda Nobunaga's newest retainer. If he can be killed, the morale of the Oda family will inevitably plummet, and Oda Nobunaga is likely to attack Inabayama directly out of anger.

Inaba Mountain Castle, Saito Ryuko looked down at the map on the desk and pondered, at this time several places on the map had been circled, this was his scheduled ambush location. But he was still a little hesitant, on the one hand, because he was a little afraid of the combat effectiveness shown by Oda Yoshinobu in the previous battle of New Ganna, and on the other hand, because of ...... He suddenly realized that he didn't know who to send to carry out the plan.

Well, Saito Ryuxing is not an old fool, but the current situation of the Saito family really makes Saito Ryuxing very painful. Hibino Kiyoshi, who had been reused since Saito Ryuko took over, died in actual combat, and the only famous general, Inaba Ryodori, has now been besieged by Shibata Katsuie in Daheng Castle. Higashimino was even more disturbed by Oda Nobunaga, and it was impossible for anyone else to count on it except for Michitoshi Nagai, who led the army back.

"Do you want to let Mamoru Ando or Naogen of the clan go?" Saito Ryuko thought with a frown.

It wasn't that he was worried that the two of them wouldn't carry out his plan, after all, their entire family was holding hostage in Inabayama Castle. Saito Ryuxing was just worried about whether Mamoru Ando and Naomoto could kill Oda Yoshinobu with only the two of them. At the same time, if they fail, can they be successfully reverted to the Oda family?

Since the battle of New Ghana, although Saito Ryuko is indulging in alcohol on the surface, he has never reduced his defense against the Oda family, and intelligence is naturally the top priority. Almost every important minister of the Oda family, Saito Ryuko has specifically learned about it, and Oda Yoshinobu is the second person only to Oda Nobunaga.

Hawkers, although Saito Ryuxing scoffed at rumors such as Oda Yoshinobu being the reincarnation of Susanoo, he never underestimated Saito Ryuxing's force value. Because from the information gathered, Saito Ryuxing can easily know that Oda Yoshinobu has many times won more with less, and forcibly broke through the enemy's main formation to kill the enemy's general. And he knows that it is because of these achievements that Oda Yoshinobu went from the adopted son of a ninja to the number one retainer of the Oda family.

Constantly flipping through the information about Oda Yoshinobu, trying to find the final breakthrough point, but unfortunately in the face of Oda Yoshinobu's terrifying force, Saito Ryuxing doesn't seem to have a good way.

"Do you really want to send troops over?" Saito Ryuxing thought to himself.

Originally, with his plan, he hoped to solve it by himself with the strength of his retainers, so as to avoid the discovery of a large number of mobilized troops. Saito Ryuxing didn't want to hear the news that Mt. Inaba had been attacked by Oda Nobunaga before he had killed Oda Yoshinobu.

Saito Ryuko stood up a little irritably, wanting to go to the observatory for a walk. Suddenly, his footsteps stopped, and his eyes kept staring at the iron cannon placed on the shelf not far away. It was the first iron cannon that Michizo Saito ever had, and it has been kept in his study as a collection. It's just that after Saito Yoshiryu rebelled, it was thrown into the grocery room by Saito Yoshimyu, because for Saito Yoshiryu, who admired martial arts, such a broken thing as an iron cannon was of no use at all.

However, after Saito Ryuko became the governor of the family, he took out the iron cannon and reorganized the iron cannon army. However, he did not form an iron cannon team in batches like Oda Nobunaga, but regarded it as a surprise soldier.

"Iron cannon...... It seems to be pretty good~" Saito Ryuxing muttered as he stroked the barrel of the iron cannon.

Oda Yoshinobu didn't know anything about Saito Ryuxing's conspiracy, but he also knew very well that the way back would never be as easy as when he went. Saito Ryuko didn't want to offend the Asai family, but he obviously didn't mind weakening the Oda family. So on the way back, Oda Yoshinobu continued to let Kato and Duanzo explore the front and rear, and at the same time told everyone to get ready.

"Lord, do you need to go another way?" Li Huamei asked in a low voice.

After thinking about it, Oda Yoshinobu shook his head, "It's useless, this is the territory of the Saito family, and we will be found wherever we go." Rather than this, it is better to follow the previous path and become more familiar. ”

Hearing this, Li Huamei nodded, indeed, even if you change the road, won't the Saito family find out? They're 800 people! And there's no way to take the trail.

"Shigeji, do you have any good ideas?" At this time, Oda Yoshinobu suddenly turned his head and asked Shigeharu Takenaka beside him. Since leaving Sumamata, Oda Yoshinobu has tied Shigeharu Takenaka to his side, and he chatted with him about his views on troubled times, his hopes for peace, and the greatness of the Oda family.

"Oda-sama, Zai Xia is just a ronin who was forcibly pulled over by you, do you think Zai Xia will help you?" Shigeji Takenaka said angrily. He had never seen such a shameless samurai, not only forcibly taking himself with him, but also pulling himself every day to constantly talk nonsense, and also enhancing his relationship in the name of beauty.

And one of the things that made Takenaka Shigeharu cry and laugh the most was that Oda Yoshinobu actually accepted Takenaka Shigeharu as a retainer in front of everyone, and his retainers were also called by Lord Takenaka and Lord Takenaka one by one. As a result, from the continuous statements at the beginning, to the various explanations later, and finally silent, Shigeharu Takenaka was completely defeated by this group of shameless guys.

"Eh, what are you talking about? You're my retainer! How can it be a ronin? Oda Yoshinobu said with a straight face, but unfortunately for his words, Shigeharu Takenaka only threw him a big eye. He wasn't going to refute it, because he knew that as soon as he answered, Oda Yoshinobu would have hundreds of reasons to tell Shigeharu Takenaka why he was his retainer.

Seeing that Shigeharu Takenaka was silent, Oda Yoshinobu was immediately happy, "Sample, haven't you seen what it means to make facts?" Oda Yoshishi thought confidently, and then said again, "Shigeji, I know that you have feelings of resistance in your heart, but you have to believe that time can smooth everything out." Slowly, you will feel how beautiful it is to be my retainer~"

In this regard, Shigeharu Takenaka was silent again, and in just a few days, Shigeharu Takenaka had already practiced how to ignore Oda Yoshinobu's nagging.

I don't know how long it took, Chiyo Mochizuki suddenly appeared next to Oda Yoshinobu, "My lord, there is a Saito army that has appeared about 5 miles behind us, about 1,000 people, look at the banner, the leading general should be the clan Naomoto among the three." ”

"Hehe, is it finally here?" Oda Yoshinobu smiled when he heard this, "It's only 1,000 people...... Is this looking down on me? ”

Hearing this, Shigeharu Takenaka on the side couldn't help but pout, but he didn't know how to refute Oda Yoshinobu. In fact, when he heard that the clan Naogen had only brought 1,000 people, he couldn't help frowning, because he was also not optimistic that the clan Naogen would be able to leave Oda Yoshinobu behind with such a small number of troops.

At this moment, another figure appeared, but it was Kato Duanzo. "My lord, the Saito army appeared about 3 miles in front of our army, there are about 600 people, and the leading general is not breaking the light of the army."

"Yo, is this going to surround our army?" Oda Yoshinobu whistled, still not taking the enemy to heart. It's not that Oda Yoshinobu is arrogant, it's that the various wars these days have given him great confidence. But it's no wonder, after all, when he was in Mikawa, Oda Yoshinobu even dared to charge with an army of 40,000, not to mention that the enemy's strength was only twice as large as him.

"Lord, please don't be careless!" Li Huamei reminded.

"Don't worry, am I that kind of person?" Oda Yoshinobu smiled, "The whole army obeys the order!" Speed up and break through the enemy's position! ”

"Yes!"

Oda Yoshinobu's idea is very simple, since the other party is going to make dumplings for him, then it is good to defeat one side before that. And with only 600 people, and at the same time the closer to the unbroken light rule is obviously the best choice.

It was only not long after Oda Yoshinobu's order was given that the family Naomoto and Fupo Koji received the news. There is no way to do this, although Kato Duanzo and Chiyo Mochizuki are both strong ninjas, it is impossible for them to monitor all the miles around. In fact, in the case of complex terrain, it is impossible to detect each other unless the spies of both sides meet.

"Full speed ahead!"

"Prepare for battle!"
