Outside the High Heavenly God Castle. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"According to the morale of the Imagawa army and the kind of slogan they just had, although I am not sure if the Imagawa clan really intends to live and die with Takatenjin Castle, they must have asked the Oda family for help. In this way, the main family must capture the two castles of Takatenjin and Kakegawa before Oda Yoshinobu arrives! After feeling the breathtaking momentum in the High Heaven God Castle, Takeda Shingen said.

As a result, Kakegawa and Takatenjin City were immediately severely tested. Baba Nobubo and Naito Masatoyo abandoned their previous siege strategy and began to storm Kakegawa Castle, and Baba Nobubo personally led the team several times to try to storm the walls of Kakegawa Castle.

"Damn, are these bastards of the Takeda Army crazy?!" Matsudaira Ieyasu angrily scolded. Well, he really couldn't stand it anymore, because Baba Nobubo and the others had been putting on a siege posture before, so Matsudaira Ieyasu decided to reduce the diet of the soldiers to last longer after thinking for a while.

But now? It's only been a few days? It was even attacked directly?! Then why did the Takeda Army have to work so hard to cut off the water source before? Is it because you are bored? Matsudaira Ieyasu was very aggrieved, but he could only continue to encourage the morale of his own army. However, the effect is not very obvious.

It's not that the soldiers of the Matsudaira family are dissatisfied with Matsudaira Ieyasu's reduced diet, or that they are hungry and don't have the strength to fight. It's because he didn't expect the Takeda army to suddenly kill him, and he also put on a momentum that he would never retreat if he couldn't capture the city, which made the Matsudaira army fall into passivity from the beginning, and was directly crushed by the Takeda army.

"Damn, it's not okay to go on like this!" Matsudaira Ieyasu looked at the battle situation in front of him and thought to himself, then picked up the spear on the side and ran down from the high platform and rushed to the city wall, "Everyone! Come with me and fight off the bastards of the Takeda family! ”

And on the other side of the sea.

The Ryujin, the flagship of Oda Yoshinobu, was built from a Galen ship. With a total length of 70 meters and a displacement of nearly 2,000 tons, the ship has seven castle-like towers at the stern and powerful cannons on both sides.

I have to say that from a distance, this ship looks like a sea bunker. It's just such a behemoth, but it's still the product of Da Zhuhe and others' continuous deletion and shrinking. Because the kind of ship that Oda Yoshinobu asked for before, it really made Dazhu Tsuru want to beat him down.

"As a flagship, it naturally has to be a super giant in the sea, how can it have to be a few hundred meters long and more than a hundred meters wide, right? In addition, get a castle tower with more than 10 floors on it...... "Yoshinobu Oda, who didn't know anything about shipbuilding technology, said to Ozuru and others at the time.

Then, under the persuasion of Da Zhuhe and those boatmen, the flagship finally became what it is today.

Speaking of which, is the bigger the boat, the better? Well...... Strictly speaking, if everything else is excluded, there is no doubt that the bigger the ship, the better. Because the larger the boat, the less it will be hit by the waves at sea, so it will also become smoother. And because of the large hull, the defense will naturally be higher, and at the same time, it will be able to carry more cargo.

It's just that...... This is after all other factors are excluded.

What if you add other factors? Ships are obviously not bigger than ever. The simplest truth, in this era, because of the problem of production technology, it is easy to build a large ship, but it is not easy to ensure its flexibility and maneuverability. In fact, Oda Yoshinobu's Ryujin is almost equal to about 0, and the maneuverability is far less than those small boats, if it is not protected by those small Galen ships with a displacement of 300 tons, once it encounters the enemy's sailors, it is likely to be directly killed. Of course, it was very difficult for a large ship of this size to be sunk first in Japan, which did not have heavy artillery.

And even if you don't encounter the enemy, many ports are difficult to access because the ships are so large. Because the draught of this ship alone reaches 8 meters, it is very easy to hit the rocks.

So in the end, Oda Yoshinobu still compromised, there was no way, who let himself not understand? However, he still hopes that in the future, if he has the opportunity, he will build the largest ship in the whole world to show off. In this regard, Da Zhuhe just said "hehe".

Departing that night, by daytime, Oda Yoshinobu's navy had already arrived at Mikawa. And here, Yoshinobu Oda meets a group of unexpected people.

"You're Imagawa Fanyi?" Oda Yoshinobu looked at the 10-year-old child in front of him with a strange expression, this was the first time he had seen his illegitimate child. Although he has been studying at Azuchi Academy, because Oda Yoshinobu rarely goes to Azuchi Academy, and even if he did, he did not go out of his way to find Imagawa Fanyi. The reason is also very simple, this is the agreement between him and Hayakawa.

"Imagawa Fan Yi has seen His Royal Highness Shura." Imagawa Fan said in a respectful voice, and then took out a letter from his arms, "Your Highness Shura, this letter was handed over to you by my father. ”

After taking it, Oda Yoshinobu didn't open it directly, but looked at Imagawa Fan and the others and said with a smile, "You guys go back to Osaka first, don't worry, I will rescue Imagawa-sama and them." ”

"Yes!" Imagawa Fan and the others responded when they heard this, and they returned to their small boat with a Death Priest and continued to march towards Osaka.

Seeing Imagawa Fan leave with a calm face, a trace of pride suddenly rose in Oda's confidence, "Can you still be so calm in this situation, is it really worthy of Lao Tzu's seed?" Thinking about it, Oda Yoshinobu opened the letter directly, but without looking at it twice, he suddenly ordered loudly, "Left near!" You took Zhongsheng and Chongxiu to change to a small boat, and led an army of 10,000 to quickly go to High Heavenly God City to support! Remember, you must save the Imagawa clan for me! ”

Hearing this, Daozuo froze for a moment, and then immediately took the order to leave. On the side, Li Huamei looked at Oda Yoshinobu suspiciously, "Lord, is it ...... over there in the High Heavenly God City?"

"Well, the outer city is broken, and now Imagawa-sama is defending Ninomaru, but with the strength of the Takeda family, I'm afraid it's dangerous. Moreover, Imagawa-sama has already stated in his letter that he has decided to live and die with Takatenjin Castle. Oda Yoshinobu said with a solemn face.

Hearing this, Li Huamei paused for a moment, and then asked with a shocked face, "Even if the High Heaven Divine City can't hold it, it doesn't have to be like this, right?" After all, Yuanjiang still has cities such as Yinma City to defend, plus the reinforcements of the family......"

Hearing Li Huamei's words, Oda Yoshinobu shook his head, "That's not the result that Imagawa-sama wants, I know what he thinks, he wants to block the attack of the Takeda family by himself." He had already failed once in Suruga, and because of that defeat, he surrendered to the Honke and relied on the Honke to regain the capital to face the Takeda clan, and now once he fails again......"

Oda Yoshinobu raised his head and looked at the sky, and he suddenly remembered Imagawa Yoshimoto in the Barrel Sasama battlefield. At that time, Oda Yoshinobu wondered why Imagawa Yoshimoto would run to fight Oda Nobunaga, because in his opinion, as long as Imagawa Yoshimoto retreated under the circumstances at that time, even if the main camp was lost, he could still defeat the Oda family with superior forces.

So at that time, Oda Yoshinobu asked Oda Nobunaga curiously, but Oda Nobunaga just said lightly, "When you have a true samurai heart, you will understand." ”

And now, Oda Yoshinobu understands that it's not that Imagawa Yoshimoto can't escape, but that he doesn't want to escape, because he knows that if he escapes this time, he will never be able to defeat Oda Nobunaga again. This has nothing to do with strength, it's just a simple inner problem. And this is absolutely intolerable to him, so he chose to face Oda Nobunaga and compete with Oda Nobunaga with dignified and upright qualifications.

"If Imagawa-sama fails again, then all his honor and dignity will be completely lost. At that time, he will no longer be the governor of the Imagawa family, who rules the Enoe country, but only the governor of the Imagawa family, who will survive on his own family. Oda Yoshinobu said lightly.

"Does it make a difference?" Li Huamei tilted her head and asked, "They are all the governors of the Imagawa family, and as long as the Takeda family is repelled, the Enoe country will still be the Imagawa family." She couldn't understand this kind of thought, "There is a saying in the Ming Kingdom, it is called to stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, with the wisdom of Lord Imagawa, you shouldn't not understand this truth." ”

"That's right~ He naturally understood, so he sent Fan Yi and his second son Ryuwangmaru, as well as the eldest son of the three important ministers of Asahina, Okabe, and Uden." Oda Yoshinobu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "The Imagawa family governor who survived by relying on his own family, even if it is just Imagawa Fan Yi, can also do it, Imagawa-sama should think so." ”

"Okay, don't think about it." Oda Yoshinobu rubbed Li Huamei's head and said, "Get ready to fight, that tiger is not an easy character to deal with." ”

"Yes." Li Huamei said in a deep voice when she heard this, but looking at her expression, she was still thinking about why the Imagawa clan really chose such an ending that seemed completely incomprehensible.

Yes, it's just incomprehensible, in fact, I ask myself, if Oda Yoshinobu encounters this situation, will he choose to live and die with the city? Oda Yoshinobu didn't know, because he hadn't been defeated yet. He hasn't tasted the taste of losing to a person in a row, the taste of being under a lot of pressure, and that's where he gets lucky.

He has a super big backer, Oda Nobunaga, and all the pressure is on Oda Nobunaga's shoulders. He also has a strong regiment and troops of retainers, and the soldiers are invincible in the world. Maybe he won't be able to truly appreciate Imagawa's mood until he really faces this troubled world alone, but in his opinion, it's impossible. Because when this war is over, the troubled times ...... It's going to be over.
