Chapter 594: Maori's Scheme (1)
On the plain outside the city, a series of spears formed a tight array of spears, and in the gaps, the iron gunners and archers were ready, waiting for an order to give the enemy a taste of the pleasure of raining all the time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Oda Shinna, Gamo Clan, and Fujido Takatora were lined up in the center, left, and right formations of the formation, their faces expressionless, their eyes solemn, holding their spears tightly, and staring at the Asakura army in front of them. As the distance closes, their emotions become more and more tense.
But it's no wonder that although they have been receiving the most rigorous elite education before Yuanfu, after all, this battle is their first battle. In the whole troubled world, except for a few people, who can perform very well in the first battle? Especially in the face of such a brutal situation.
You must know that Oda Nobunaga's initial battle was just an attack on a small castle of more than 30 people with an absolute superiority of troops, and the enemy not only did not even have a well-known samurai, but also had veterans such as Masahide Hirate around him.
And now, the troops are at a disadvantage, and the enemy army is almost all the samurai groups that the Asakura family can handle. And what about your own side? Well, Oda Shinna they are already samurai of the highest status. There's no way, who let because Oda Yoshinobu didn't think there would be any chance to play, so he didn't bring any retainers at all.
In fact, not only Oda Shinna was very nervous, but Oda Yoshinobu also did not feel a little relaxed. Because he suddenly found that from the beginning to the present, it seems that he has not commanded any wars in a serious way. Every time he started a battle, he basically just led his troops to charge and charge again, breaking the enemy's position or defeating the enemy's generals, and finally winning the war. Even in the past, when he pacified Mikawa as a general or attacked Ise and Yamato, he basically handed over the command to Li Huamei, Shigeharu Takenaka or Matsudaira Ieyasu.
"Tsk, is this the so-called big girl on the sedan chair, the first time?" Oda Yoshishi smiled self-deprecatingly in confidence, he never thought that he would feel a trace of nervousness in the face of an enemy like the Asakura Army, which he looked down on at all.
However, when the Asakura army was about to enter the attack range, his nervousness disappeared. This is the confidence that he has experienced countless wars, and at the same time, he has defeated countless enemies.
Just as he was thinking about it, Oda Yoshinobu suddenly sighed, but he saw that the Asakura army was about to enter the range of his own army's attack, and suddenly stopped.
"What's the situation?!" Oda Yoshinobu thought suspiciously, in his opinion, the only thing the Asakura army should do at this time should be to find a way to break through their own interception and pursue Oda Nobunaga. But now? They began to set up a formation, and they didn't seem to pay much attention to the Oda army, which was rapidly leaving.
In fact, not only Oda Yoshinobu couldn't understand the thoughts of the Asakura army, but even the people of the Asakura army couldn't understand what Asakura Keitaka was thinking.
"Lord Nadai, what are you ......?" Asakura asked strangely.
"Hehe, do you see who the Oda Army is in charge of the palace?" Asakura Keitaka asked with a chuckle.
"It's Yoshinobu Oda!" Asakura Jingjing replied without the slightest hesitation, in the formation of the Oda army in front, the four big characters of the world's unparalleled are really obvious.
"Yes, it is the god of war of the Oda family, Oda Yoshinobu, who is known as the unparalleled sword saint in the world!" Asakura Jinglong said lightly.
Hearing this, Asakura Jingjing immediately wanted to open his mouth to ridicule Asakura Jinglong if he was afraid, but when the words came to his mouth, he endured it again. Now that Tsurukasa's men have been killed in battle, it is a good opportunity for him to expand his power, and there is no need to annoy the Anju faction that has always been neutral.
At this time, Asakura Jingjian's eyes lit up on the side, "What does my father mean...... Let Oda Nobunaga go, leave Oda Yoshinobu behind?! ”
Hearing this, Asakura Keitaka nodded and said, "Oda Nobunaga will retreat so quickly, it can't be just because the Asai family is rebelling, but because I'm worried about the opposing forces in Honganji. And according to the lord's words, I'm afraid that has already begun to be chaotic at this time. ”
"......," Asakura Keiken and the others muttered when they heard this.
Seeing this, Asakura Keitaka probably said what Asakura Yoshikyo told him before leaving.
"But the Asai family's side ......" Hearing this, Asakura Jingjing said with some hesitation, if this matter is not ventilated with the Asai family, it is very dangerous to say. But at this moment, a voice came, and when I looked at the sound, I saw a cloud of yellow smoke in the sky, but it was a firework used as a signal.
"It's a signal...... Asakura Jingtaka said lightly when he saw this, and then looked at everyone and smiled, "Don't worry, the Asai family has long known about this matter." After speaking, he gave the order in a loud voice, "Prepare for battle!" Yoshinobu Oda must not be allowed to escape! ”
"Oh!"
On the other hand, after Oda Nobunaga's army withdrew, Mori Kosei's department was also separated from the attacking Asai army. Looking at the movements of the Asai family samurai not far in front of him, Mori Kecheng suddenly sneered, "Isono Yuanchang, what's the matter?" Letters to the unfaithful and unrighteous Lord? But even so, you can't stand in the way of your lord! ”
"Humph! It's better to worry about yourself! Isono snorted coldly, and then ordered the troops to regroup and gradually retreat to the rear.
Seeing this, Sen Kecheng did not pursue, because the troops around him at this time were only more than a thousand people. So after a moment's pause, he retreated in the direction of Oda Yoshinobu.
All this was naturally seen by Oda Yoshinobu, but in his opinion, the signal flare of the Asai Army was just to tell the Asai family in the rear that Oda Nobunaga had evacuated. After all, no matter what he thought, it was impossible for him to think that the target of Asakura and Asai Army was him.
Therefore, he did not pay attention to the retreating Asai army, but ordered the troops to open an opening to let the retreating Oda army enter the formation. It's just that Oda Yoshinobu never thought that the people who stayed would be serious about Mori Kecheng.
"Mori-sama, how could it be you?!" Oda Yoshinobu looked at Mori Kecheng with a bewildered expression and exclaimed. Hawkers, it's no wonder he's like this, after all, Mori Kecheng is an important minister of the Oda family, and it is reasonable that he should not carry out this kind of task.
"Haha, Lord Yoshishin can be the queen of His Royal Highness, what's so strange about me here?" Sen Kecheng laughed.
"Ha~ That's right~ In that case, let's stop the Asakura army together~" Oda Yoshinobu also smiled, and then turned his head to look at the Asakura army opposite, waiting for their attack.
