Chapter 131: Miracle Rain
At the foot of the mountain, the Imagawa army was stationed on the mountain, and at the foot of the mountain, the Imagawa army circled and circled the water around the Barrel Sasama Mountain. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info This kind of defense, not to mention the Oda army coming to sneak attack, even if the Tsuki army comes together, don't think about rushing to Mt. Tsubasama for a few hours.
Seeing this, Imagawa Yoshimoto nodded with satisfaction, and then turned his head to the retainers on the side and ordered, "It's almost time, give orders to go down, and each team will take turns to eat." ā
"Yes!"
After a while, someone came up with wine and food. Well, this may be one of Imagawa Yoshimoto's few shortcomings, that is, at all times, he must eat and drink well, and he can't deal with it at all.
Imagawa Yoshimoto drank wine and looked into the distance, where it was the direction of Kiyoshu Castle. "Finally...... It's going to come this far, as long as you take Owari, it's not a dream for the family to end this troubled world......"
Just thinking of this, Imagawa Yoshimoto's brows furrowed, "It's just that in this way, I'm afraid the alliance with the Takeda family and the Hojo family will not be so stable......" Shaking his head, Imagawa Yoshimoto suddenly smiled, "Hehe, forget it, it was just an expedient measure to ally with them." If it weren't for Nagao Keiho's battle with Takeda on Kawanakajima this time, and the sudden dispatch of troops to Kanto, I'm afraid the family wouldn't have had the opportunity to attack Owari on such a large scale......"
Just thinking about it, Imagawa Yoshimoto suddenly felt droplets of water dripping on his face, and looked up, only to find that at some point, the originally sunny weather became cloudy.
"Is it going to rain?" As soon as this thought flashed, the raindrops fell quickly, and in a few breaths, the heavens and the earth were connected.
"My lord! Fast forward to the sedan chair to shelter from the rain! A samurai shouted as quickly as he ran.
"Hmm!"
Sitting in the sedan chair, Imagawa Yoshimoto looked outside for a long time, "This weather is really strange~ But it drove the heat away...... "Imagawa Yoshimoto chuckled. The scorching heat will reduce the soldier's ability to continue fighting, and this rain can just be relieved.
Suddenly, several figures flashed in front of him, but it was the samurai who was still in the camp who was running quickly to the shelter to avoid the rain. This scene can be said to be very normal, after all, in this era, although wind chill is not an incurable disease, many diseases caused by wind chill have taken many people's lives. So under normal circumstances, no one will stay stupid and stand stupidly in the rain.
Well, even in the afterlife, no guy will stand stupidly in the rain, unless there is a handsome guy or a beautiful woman with you.
It's just that for some reason, this scene kept lingering in Imagawa Yoshimoto's mind and lingered for a long time. Moreover, he felt a palpitation inexplicably, "What's going on, is there going to be something going on?" Imagawa Yoshimoto was a little surprised.
After thinking about it, Imagawa Yoshimoto suddenly shouted, "Mizo! ā
"In!" Yazo reappeared in front of Imagawa Yoshimoto, still half-kneeling. The heavy rain didn't seem to have any effect on him.
"Is there any movement nearby?" Imagawa Yoshimoto asked eagerly.
Although he didn't know why Imagawa Yoshimoto suddenly asked such a strange question, Yazo still answered honestly, "Please rest assured, Your Highness, the surroundings of the barrel are all within the surveillance range of his subordinates, and if there is any trouble, they will definitely find out!" ā
"Hmm......" Imagawa Yoshimoto replied when he heard this, and fell silent again. And Yazo knelt in front of him like this, and the heavy rain kept hitting him, but it didn't make his expression change in any way.
After a long time, Imagawa Yoshimoto raised his head, beckoned to Yazo and said slowly, "Yazo, come here, I have something to tell you......"
On the other side, the surprise attack team led by Oda Nobunaga also undoubtedly encountered heavy rain.
"Rain?! Ha ha! It's finally raining! In this way, all the conditions for victory in history have been met! Yoshinobu Oda looked up at the sky, his face full of excitement.
In other words, just now he was still cursing God in his heart, just because of the sunny and hot weather.
"Stop!" Oda Yoshinobu was thinking about it, when suddenly Oda Nobunaga's voice came to his ears.
"Huh? How did it stop? Oda Yoshinobu asked impatiently, he was worried that Oda Nobunaga would suddenly become stupid and run to avoid the rain, if that was the case, he would definitely kick it without hesitation.
"Iron Artillery Team! Put away the iron cannon! Now the iron cannon is useless! Oda Nobunaga shouted, "Besides, everyone wrap their feet with steps!" Whoever has a horse wraps the horse's hooves and mouth! ā
"Yes!"
Hearing Oda Nobunaga's words, Oda Yoshinobu suddenly remembered, "That's right! And there is such a stubble! I almost forgot! ā
Just as he was remorseful, a black shadow suddenly crossed the corner of his eye, and without thinking about it, Oda Yoshinobu suddenly turned into a black shadow and chased after him. After a while, Oda Yoshinobu appeared in front of Oda Nobunaga again.
"It's the ninja of the Imagawa family, and it's been solved! Fortunately, because of the heavy rain, they couldn't send a signal, otherwise it would ......," Oda Yoshinobu said with fear. Hearing this, Oda Nobunaga was also drenched in cold sweat with fright, although his whole body had already been soaked by the rain.
Hawkers, although Mt. Tsukasama has already been surrounded by the Imagawa army at this time, but after all, the Oda family is in a position of sneak attack, and it is still raining heavily, if nothing else, the Imagawa army must be sheltering from the rain.
But if it is discovered...... Hehe...... If the success rate of the sneak attack was still 20 or 30 percent, then after being discovered, the success rate would only be 0...... As long as Imagawa Yoshimoto is not an idiot, even if he can't destroy the Oda Army in a short time, he won't stupidly stand there and let them cut it.
"Lord, the troops are ready and ready to go!" At this time, a voice came, waking up the two who were still afraid.
"Hmmm! Army! Keep marching! Oda Nobunaga shouted, and then as if he suddenly remembered something, he hurriedly said to Oda Yoshinobu, "Yoshinobu, you immediately go to the front and see if there are any ninjas lurking!" ā
"Understood!" When Oda Yoshinobu heard this, he quickly disappeared from everyone's eyes after answering.
At this time, on the front between Atsuta Jingu and Narumi Castle, Okabe Motonobu, Asahina Taichao, Matsudaira Motonobu, Iio Norori, Hattori Tomosada, and Matsui Munenobu ...... The samurai of the Imagawa army commanded the troops to constantly attack the Atsuta and Narumi defense lines, and the torrential rain could not stop them for half a step, and the fierce offensive continued to compress the defense line of the Oda army.
"Damn! It looks crumbling, but it can't be broken! Matsudaira Motonobu looked at the battle situation in front of him and said angrily.
"Lord, you must not attack again this time! The family had already lost too many soldiers when they captured Marone before, and if they attacked again......" On the side, Sakai Tadaji heard the words and hurriedly jumped out to persuade.
"I know...... But...... Alas! Matsudaira Moto's words circled around his lips several times, and finally turned into a playful sigh. He knew that Tadaji Sakai was right. Let's not talk about whether another strong attack can break through the line of defense in front of you, even if you break through, there are still several lines of defense from Atsuta Jingu.
Moreover, if all the troops are wiped out here, or even too many retainers are lost, then the status of the Matsudaira family in Imagawa Yoshimoto's heart will definitely plummet. Perhaps, he will still be reused, but the hope of the Matsudaira family to rise again has been dashed.
On the other side, Atsuta Shrine, Lin Xiuzhen stood in the middle of the formation, constantly giving orders one after another. He wasn't a warrior good at fighting, but if he just held on, it wouldn't be hard for him. It's just that......
He looked into the distance, his eyes searching, but after a long time he didn't notice anything different. "Alas...... Let's hope the lord can succeed......"
Regarding Oda Nobunaga's surprise attack plan, Lin Xiuzhen opposed it from the bottom of her heart. After all, this radical choice was too exciting for him, a samurai who had always been decent. It's just that with the consent of all the martial arts factions, he can only reluctantly agree to this matter, but he is really not optimistic about this plan.
However, this does not mean that Hayashi Xiuzhen does not want Oda Nobunaga to succeed. "Don't worry, lord! Before his subordinates die in battle, Atsuta Jingu will never change hands! Lin Xiuzhen glanced deeply into the distance, and then turned her gaze to the battlefield below the mountain again.
Compared to Lin Xiuzhen, Sakuma Nobumori, who was defending Narumi City on the other side, was not so stressed. Although the Imagawa Army, who is mainly attacking here, is Okabe Motonobu, who is known as one of the future twin stars of the Imagawa family, but in the face of the old fritter-like Sakuma Nobumori, Okabe Motoshin has no advantage at all.
"It's really annoying to rain this time......," Sakuma Nobumori thought irritably, "I don't know how Atsuta is doing now...... Alas...... After all, the lord is still young, and he actually gave up the fortified city of Cheongju......" Sakuma Nobumori muttered to himself.
Because he has been guarding Zen Zhao, he has no idea about Oda Nobunaga's plans at all. However, if he really knew, would he just abandon the city and run away? Who knows......
Barrel Sayama Mountain.
There was a mountain forest not far away, and there was a path in the mountain forest, and at this time, Oda Yoshinobu was hiding in a hidden place, and not far away, three people who could not see their identities fell to the ground, looking dead.
"Nima, it's good that my brother asked me to come over and check, there are so many ninjas......" Oda Yoshishi thought with confidence. He couldn't have imagined that Imagawa Yoshimoto not only made an iron bucket array on the surface, but also was so careful behind the scenes. If it weren't for the heavy rain that prevented them from transmitting signals, and the fact that Oda Yoshinobu's magic didn't allow them to be slaughtered before they could react. Consequence......
Just thinking about it, Oda Yoshinobu suddenly turned his head, and not far away, a series of figures quickly appeared in his eyes, it was the surprise attack team led by Oda Nobunaga.
"Lord!" Oda Yoshinobu appeared in front of Oda Nobunaga in a flash, "The enemy army is ahead!" Oda Yoshinobu said, pointing to the Imagawa army's main formation.
Following Oda Yoshinobu's fingers, everyone immediately saw the Imagawa army headquarters built on the mountain, and at the same time, the Imagawa army scattered in various places below to hide from the rain.
"If it weren't for this rainstorm, I'm afraid we'd be facing an enemy like a barrel array......" Oda Nobunaga muttered to himself.
"But ......," Oda Nobunaga's voice suddenly became louder, "It turns out!" Now the gods are with us, too! Everybody's on orders! There is only one goal! The head of Yoshimoto Imagawa! Rush! ā
Shouting, Oda Nobunaga rode down the mountain. "Rush!" And Oda Yoshinobu also held the god-killing halberd again at this time, shouted, and rushed down.
Under a tree, the dense foliage forms a natural canopy, where more than a dozen Imagawa family Ashigaru are hiding and munching on rice balls. "Alas, this rain is too sudden...... said with a sigh as he looked at the rainstorm outside, and although it wouldn't be so heavy when he hid here, they were still doused in the soup.
"Huh? What was that? Suddenly, the ashigaru heard a strange sound, it wasn't thunder, it looked like ...... Ashigaru turned his head, and suddenly saw a black oppressive scene pressing towards this side, it was the enemy army! A murderous enemy army wielding swords and spears.
"Boom!" A blast of thunder sounded in the sky again, "Smack!" The rice ball fell to the ground, but Ashigaru didn't react at all, just stared blankly at the enemy who suddenly rushed out of the torrential rain.
In the blink of an eye, this group of people passed in front of his eyes, and the dozen or so Imagawa family's Ashigaru looked at the enemy soldiers in the distance stupidly, and after half a sound, they muttered, "What's the situation......
"Rush! Don't mind anyone else! There is only one goal! Imagawa Yoshimoto's head! Oda Nobunaga shouted again. He knew very well that whether he could win this battle or not depended only on whether he could kill Imagawa Yoshimoto. If they can't be killed, even if they wipe out all 5,000 Imagawa troops here, it will be in vain.
"There's only one goal! Imagawa Yoshimoto's head! Shibata Katsuya and others shouted, and soon the Oda army shouted slogans in unison, and followed Oda Nobunaga to charge forward.
I have to say that this thunderstorm can really be called a miracle rain. The thunder drowned out the sound of the Oda army's movements, and the rain disintegrated the Imagawa army's iron barrel formation, and more importantly, this thunderstorm completely severed the connection between the Imagawa army's main formation and the friendly forces in the front and rear.
Sprinting all the way, seeing that they were about to reach the foot of the mountain, at this moment, countless Imagawa troops rushed out of nowhere, shouting "Enemy attack!" "Kill them.
"Tsk! Did you react so quickly? Oda Nobunaga thought unpleasantly, and then shouted again, "Sons and daughters of the Oda family! When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins! Let the old men of the Imagawa Army see your courage! ā
"Oh!"
Morale rose again, and the Oda army frantically slaughtered Mt. Tsukasasa.
Rain...... It's bigger...... It seems that the heavens are also crying for this war...... (To be continued.) )
