Behind Mt. Inaba, a team of about 50 people is quietly advancing up the mountain.
"There's no road up there, are we going wrong?" Maeno Nagayasu said breathlessly.
"That's right, it's the road, but there's no way from here to the destination." Horio Yoshiharu said after taking a closer look ahead.
"Huh? There was a road that was so difficult to walk before, and now it'......" Maeno Nagayasu wanted to complain when he heard this, but before he finished speaking, he was stopped by Wasuka Koroku.
"What do you think, lord?" Wasuka Koroku asked respectfully.
"Keep walking!" Kinoshita Fujiyoshiro gritted his teeth and said, "If you don't have a way, open a way out, didn't we do this before?" ”
After speaking, Kinoshita Tojiro looked at the troops around him who were constantly gasping and did not have the slightest fighting spirit and said again, "Everyone heard about me! I know you're very tired right now, and I'm tired too, but you've all come here, do you just give up? Look at it, Inabayama Castle is right in front of you! Kinoshita shouted as he pointed to the castle tower in the distance, which stood out in the moonlight.
"As long as we get there, look for a chance to get in! Then we will be rewarded with a great deal of money! That's enough money for you to marry two ******! Those exploits can even make you a samurai! With Kinoshita Tojiro's words, everyone's eyes once again appeared.
"Money and beauty, do you want it?!"
"Yes!"
"Excellent! Now I command, rest where you are! Move on after a quarter of an hour! Kinoshita Toyoshiro said loudly.
And just as Kinoshita Toyoshiro continued to climb the mountain with hard work, on the other side, Oda Yoshinobu faced the army of three people, but he smoked a cigar with a relaxed face, and looked at the battle situation in front of him.
"It seems that Mamoru Ando is not ready to rebel back to the Saito family." Oda Yoshinobu said casually while swallowing the clouds and spitting mist.
"That's for sure, since Ando-sama promised the family, he will definitely do it." Shigeji Takenaka on the side heard the words and hurriedly said.
"Hmm." Oda Yoshinobu nodded casually, although he didn't believe that Mamoru Ando really kept his promise like this, but since the current situation was indeed the case, he didn't bother to say anything more. After all, what kind of person Ando Mamoru is has nothing to do with him.
Suddenly, a shout of killing came from the rear, and Oda Yoshinobu turned his head to look, only to find that the sound was coming from the front side.
"Huh? They're going to kill it right now? Oda Yoshinobu immediately understood the source of the voice, but he muttered in surprise, for the situation was obviously unexpected.
In his opinion, Saito Ryuxing's plan will definitely end up fighting out of the city and attacking the Oda army on both sides with the three people. But the problem is that now the troops of the three people have not achieved any advantage, and the rear formation of the Oda army has not even retreated a step. In this case, even if the defenders of Mt. Inaba are killed, what role can they play?
Oda Yoshinobu knew very well that Oda Nobunaga must have defended the front when the troop appeared. And it is impossible for Saito Ryuko in Inabayama Castle not to see this.
In this way, this is not a two-sided attack at all, at most it is just a battle between the front and rear at the same time. And strictly speaking, the side of the Oda army was more advantageous, because the Saito army became the attacker.
What Oda Yoshinobu thought, Saito Ryuxing knew very well, but he didn't have any way, because if he didn't attack, how could he let those people in Oda's army find an opportunity to create a commotion? And if there was no civil strife in the Oda army, what role could a force of only three people play?
Therefore, Saito Ryuxing knew that the Oda army had already arranged the formation, but he could only grit his teeth and abandon the fortified city of Mt. Inaba and send troops to attack it. And this is also very clear to Michitoshi Nagai, who commanded from the castle walls, and he constantly gives orders to try to break through the defense line formed by Shibata Katsuie and Sakuma Nobumori.
But no matter how the Saito army attacked, in this night, which can only be judged by the light of the fire, the Saito army could not cause much damage to the Oda army at all.
Shibata Katsuie rode on a horse and watched the situation in front of him coldly, and after seeing that the Saito army's offensive was increasing again, he discussed it with Sakuma Nobumori and gave the order to extinguish the fire.
Not long after the "puff puff puff ......" the entire front of the Oda army fell into darkness. From light to dark, it takes a process of adaptation for anyone, let alone in war.
However, this adaptation process is obviously not so important for the Oda army, because the only thing they need to do is straighten their spears and wait for the enemy to collide with them.
Of course, the Saito Army would not be so stupid, in the face of the Oda Army's sudden fire extinguishing move, the Saito Army, which was still fierce just now, instantly stopped attacking, and paid attention to the front with a vigilant face, but did not dare to move forward further. At the same time, they constantly waved their spears, hoping to keep themselves away from the enemy.
"Bastard!" Nagai Michitoshi cursed secretly, and then immediately ordered the troops in the city to light torches and leave the city. It's just that when the firelight illuminates the front line of the Oda army again, the morale of the Saito army has long since disappeared.
Although under the constant urging of Nagai Michitoshi, they once again took steps to attack the Oda army, but this offensive was obviously not as fierce as the previous wave of offensives.
The Oda army is in the main formation.
"Have you figured out a way?" A Mino subordinate cautiously looked at his colleague beside him and asked with his eyes.
"Nope." The two kept exchanging glances, and since the three of them appeared with their troops, some of Mino's ministers continued to exchange ideas in this way, but unfortunately after such a long time, they still didn't have any way.
At this moment, one of Mino's subordinates suddenly stood up and walked to the middle of the military tent under the gaze of everyone, "My lord, now that the enemy army has given up defending the city and going out of the city to fight, it is a great opportunity for the family to capture Mt. Inaba in one fell swoop......" He said slowly, and suddenly, he rushed towards Oda Nobunaga, pulling out his sword and shouting, "Go die!" ”
In the face of the sudden attack, none of the retainers reacted, but just watched dumbfounded as the Mino subordinate got closer and closer to Oda Nobunaga.
At this moment, another person stood up and said, "Kill Oda Nobunaga!" With that, he drew his sword and rushed towards Oda Nobunaga.
At this moment, the military tent exploded in an instant, and more than a dozen people stood up and tried to rush towards Oda Nobunaga, but at this time, the others had already reacted, and they drew their swords one after another to fight with those who tried to make trouble. But in the face of this sudden incident, everyone didn't know who was the traitor among those Mino vassals, which made the scene extremely chaotic.
At this time, the retainer at the beginning had already rushed to Oda Nobunaga's side, and not far away, the little surname who was responsible for protecting Oda Nobunaga was running over in a panic, but it was too late.
"For the Saito family! Die! The retainer shouted excitedly, as long as he killed the man in front of him, then the Oda family would no longer be a threat to the Saito family.
It's just that, in the face of the slash from the head, Oda Nobunaga just casually held the handle of the saber at his waist with his backhand, and pulled it out indifferently before the blade approached.
"Boom!" With a bang, the retainer's full force was blocked by Oda Nobunaga lightly. At this time, his little people finally rushed over, raised their knives and prepared to kill this bastard who had caused them to fail in their duties and even be executed.
"Don't worry about him, you guys deal with the others......" Oda Nobunaga's flat voice came, and the little surname was stunned for a moment, and then quickly killed another rushing enemy.
And the man in front of Oda Nobunaga stared at Oda Nobunaga with a red face, and kept trying to cut the sword down, but no matter how hard he tried, the sword held by Oda Nobunaga in his backhand did not shake at all.
"Honestly, though I'm a lot worse than that stinky boy in the uprising...... But it's still easy to deal with you to this extent......" Oda Nobunaga said with a chuckle, and then suddenly a force in his hand pushed the man away.
Immediately, before the man could stand firm, Oda Nobunaga stood up and split him in half with a single sword. However, Oda Nobunaga didn't seem to care about this kind of thing at all, he just looked at the situation in front of him, and then said loudly, "All Mino's subordinates immediately put down their weapons and knelt on the ground with their heads in their hands!" Whoever fails to do so is the enemy of his family! ”
Hearing this, those Mino subordinates hurriedly threw away their weapons and did so, although they didn't know what Oda Nobunaga was going to do with them in the future, but obviously, if they didn't do it now, they would be dead. It's not that they're scared, it's because there are already several corpses lying on the ground at this time.
Soon, only a few of Mino's vassals were still resisting, but in the face of the encirclement of the Oda retainers, their fate was clearly sealed.
"My lord! Subordinates are incompetent! Suddenly, one of the people who was surrounded shouted to the sky, raised his sword and wiped it around his neck. Seeing this, others also committed suicide with knives.
"The subordinates are incompetent!" After quelling the rebellion, Lin Xiuzhen and others hurriedly bowed to the ground and pleaded guilty to Oda Nobunaga.
"Well, you go down." Oda Nobunaga said lightly, and then pointed to the Mino ministers who were kneeling on the ground and trembling, "You can go down too, I believe that you are all sincere in surrendering to your own family." ”
"Thank you, lord!"
"The lord is wise!"
Everyone shouted, especially those Mino ministers, who were even more excited and almost cried.
