Chapter Two Hundred and Four: Ambush on All Sides
In the dark night, Saito Ryuko led the army to flee in a panic, and behind him, Maeda Toshiya and others were frantically chasing, and the momentum was very strong to chase directly to Inabayama. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Deep in the forest next to the road, Shigeharu Takenaka and his troops are quietly hiding here.
"Lord Takenaka, let's go up! If it goes on like this, His Highness is too dangerous. The secret shinobi leaned into Shigeharu Takenaka's ear and whispered inquiring.
"Don't worry, there are still thousands of troops in Takenaka, but if you retreat, there is no risk. However, if we attack now, at most we will repel the pursuing forces of the Oda army, and it will have no effect on this battle at all. Go, gather those deserters, and don't let them run around. Shigeharu Takenaka said in a low voice.
Those deserters, the poor insects abandoned by Saito Ryuxing, were defeated by the army led by Maeda Toshiya and others, and they fled directly into the forest next to them.
After Shigeharu Takenaka finished speaking, he ignored the secret shinobi and turned his head to stare in one direction, which was the direction from which Saito Ryuxing and Oda Jun had come, and he believed that Oda Nobunaga would definitely appear there soon.
"Come on! Oda Nobunaga! The battle between the barrels and the narrow will make you famous all over the world. And in today's battle, I, Shigeharu Takenaka, will also become a famous general in the world! Shigeharu Takenaka thought excitedly.
The greatest wish of any samurai is to get ahead. Gaining a vast territory and achieving great fame is the case for anyone, and Shigeharu Takenaka is just an ordinary samurai, so naturally he is not exempt from vulgarity.
Oda Nobunaga was riding his horse when he suddenly yawned, he stretched out his index finger and rubbed his nose, muttering a little unpleasantly, "It must be Saito Ryuko's kid who is scolding me." Then he turned his head and urged loudly, "Keep up!" Hurry up! Hurry up."
At this time, they were constantly advancing between Ghana and New Ghana, and speaking of which, Oda Nobunaga's troops were not far from Maeda Toshiie's team, and they could even see Saito's army in the distance, but after chasing all the way, now no one could see it.
"Su-jeong! What about people?! Look at the map, where are we now?! Oda Nobunaga shouted unhappily, and after shouting, he couldn't help but mumble again, "Damn, that kid Saito Ryuko is running too fast, right?" And the dogs, they don't care too much, right? ā
But complaining is complaining, Oda Nobunaga is not unaware of the thoughts of Maeda Toshiya and others, otherwise at the beginning, he would have sent someone to call them back.
"Lord!" Lin Xiuzhen's voice came, interrupting Oda Nobunaga's broken thoughts. "According to the map, we should be between Ghana and New Ghana now, but it's too dark to make out where we are."
"New Ghana? Ghana? It's really boring...... naming method," Oda Nobunaga said boredly, pouting. Well, he suddenly found himself in a very awkward situation, and it seemed that he couldn't catch up with Saito Ryuko in the future, and he didn't have time to support Shibata Katsuya when he retreated, and the 5,000 army was left halfway there......
Seeing Oda Nobunaga's somewhat depressed expression, Lin Xiuzhen hurriedly persuaded, "My lord, Lord Niwa, they are chasing too quickly, if something happens, I'm afraid it's very dangerous......"
"I know, I didn't say I wouldn't continue to chase." Oda Nobunaga said angrily.
I don't know how long later, a messy scene suddenly appeared in front of me. Oda Nobunaga stopped and raised his hand at the same time to beckon, and one of his own people hurriedly ran up to investigate.
"Your Highness, it was left after the battle between our army and the Saito army, depending on the situation, our army won a big victory!"
"Whoa, whoa!" Hearing this, the Oda Army immediately shouted.
"Well, how long have they been gone? Where are you going? Oda Nobunaga asked noncommittally. I don't feel anything about Maeda Toshiie and others' big victory over Saito Ryuko. Well, after all, isn't it normal to pursue a group of defeated troops and win?
"I haven't been away for long, and the direction is still in the direction of Mt. Inaba." The man said respectfully.
"Well, good, let's keep chasing!" Oda Nobunaga nodded and said.
Just as they were about to move on, suddenly there was a sound of iron cannons, and immediately several flags around Oda Nobunaga fell under their horses.
"There is an ambush! Everyone is ready to fight! Oda Nobunaga jerked over and dismounted, hiding himself by the horse's body, while shouting loudly. However, he didn't need to be reminded that after that burst of iron cannons, a burst of iron cannons sounded in all directions. Tsk, Shigeharu Takenaka brought the entire Saito family's iron artillery team over?
However, apparently, they did not know the technique of three-stage strikes, and after one round of shooting, countless Saito troops came out from all directions, "There is only one target!" Oda Nobunaga's head! Shigeharu Takenaka stood in the back and shouted. Although he also knows swordsmanship, on this occasion, there is obviously no opportunity for him to show his hands.
"Bastard! What's going on?! Oda Nobunaga looked at the Saito army that kept rushing out of the darkness and cursed. Obviously, he couldn't figure out where these Saito troops came from. As far as the eye could see, there were enemies on all sides.
But even if he didn't understand, he didn't have time to understand, because the enemy had already rushed in front of him.
"Oda Nobunaga! I took your head from Kotaro Etoshi! A samurai shouted with a spear in his hand and rushed over.
"Humph!" Seeing this, Oda Nobunaga suddenly pulled out the left text of his love knife, took a step forward and directly cut the poor guy in half, "You want to take my Oda Nobunaga's head with your kind of goods?!" ā
"Su-jeong! You go to the back! It can be done! You go to the left! Shinmori, you go to the right! Be sure to hold your ground! Oda Nobunaga shouted as he stepped back. He knew very well that in such a situation where the enemy was not clarified, if the reaction was not timely, the Oda army would be instantly defeated, and when the time came, they could escape with their lives, which would already be blessed by God.
"Yes!" The three of them answered, and rode away without looking back.
At the same time as the three of them left, Oda Nobunaga also retreated to a relatively safe place, and countless ashigaru held spears in their hands to block Oda Nobunaga's surroundings.
"Saito Ryuko, is this your final calculation? But you want my Oda Nobunaga's life? It's not that easy! Oda Nobunaga muttered as he watched more and more Saito troops heading towards him. At this time, he immediately understood why Saito Ryuxing did not retreat to Gyana, but all the way to Inabayama, although he still had many questions, but at this time those were no longer useful. Because the fate of Oda and Saito will be completely decided in this battle!
The Saito army continued to besiege, and there were enemy troops in all directions, no matter how many people there were, they all looked quite bluffing, even with the continuous efforts of Lin Xiuzhen and others, the morale of the Oda army still fell to a very miserable point, and the reason why it did not break and flee was because there was nowhere to escape......
I have to say that Shigeharu Takenaka is still too young, and in this case, he didn't even give Oda Jun a way out. But come to think of it, even if he knew this, he wouldn't do it, right? Because he wanted to take down Oda Nobunaga's head in this battle, he said that he would be famous all over the world in one fell swoop.
Suddenly, a ringing arrow flew into the sky, "Bang! It exploded and lit up the land.
"Is it a distress signal?!" Shigeharu Takenaka looked at the sky and muttered, but then returned his attention to the enemy in front of him. When setting up an ambush, he had already thought that Oda Nobunaga might call for help, so he asked Saito Ryuxing to lead the pursuers far away. Although the distance is not too far now, "I hope the lord must stop them......" Shigeharu Takenaka thought as he continued to direct the attack.
The only thing Shigeharu Takenaka can do now is to break through the defense line of the Oda army as soon as possible and take down Oda Nobunaga's head. In this way, the overall situation is decided!
About a kilometer north of the place where Oda Nobunaga was ambushed, Maeda Toshiie and others were still chasing after the Saito army. Although they are tired now, the great achievement is just around the corner, how can they be willing to give up?
It's just that at this moment, a loud bang suddenly came from behind, and Maeda Toshiya and the others turned their heads to look at them, and they were suddenly stupid.
"That's ......" Toshiya Maeda looked over there in shock, as if he had been stunned. However, Zuo Zuo Chengzheng, who was not far away, quickly reacted, "The lord is dangerous!" Speed back to the army to support! Sasa Naruma shouted!
"Not good! Saito Ryuko, that bastard is coming back! Niwa Nagahide shouted as he pointed ahead.
I saw that not far away, the Saito Army, who had been chased and lost their armor, turned around and rushed over at this time. Well, although the formation was very scattered because it was not prepared, and most of the Saito army did not react, it was obvious that for the Oda army, which was in a hurry to withdraw at this time, this was enough to be fatal.
"Bastard! I'm here to stop the enemy, and you're going to support the lord!" Maeda Toshiya shouted, and immediately led his troops to meet him.
"Lijia!" Sasa Narumasa looked at the back of Maeda Toshiya and shouted, his tone full of grief. Because he knew very well that it would be difficult for the Maeda Toshiie, who only had more than 200 people, to block the offensive of Saito Ryuko's counterattack...... Or simply not at all. In this case, Maeda Toshiya still greeted him, which means that he is ready to die.
"Cheng Zheng! There's no time to hesitate! Let's get out! Niwa Nagahide shouted while beckoning to Ikeda Hengxing's side, and then ignored whether they heard it or not, and directly led his troops to quickly march in the direction of Oda Nobunaga.
"Bastard Rika! You must come back alive! When Sasa Nagahide heard Niwa Nagahide's words, he shouted at Maeda Toshiya's side, and then turned his horse's head and led the army back to help.
"Hehe, Uchizosuke, I'm afraid I'll ...... this time" Maeda Toshiya heard Sasa Narumasa's shout, and his heart was full of helplessness. Just then, his eyes became sharp, and he looked at Saito Jun, who was getting closer and closer in front of him, and shouted violently, "Jiro of the Maeda family! Let those wastes of the Saito family see our martial arts!! ā
"Swear to follow the Governor!" One of the people around the Maeda Toshiya echoed loudly, he was the family governor of the Maeda family, the Okumura family, and the family governor of the Okumura family. After Maeda Toshimasa passed the position of family governor to Maeda Toshiya, I don't know if it was in order to better let Maeda Toshiya lead the Maeda family, and those old ministers in the family gave up their positions to their own young people, and Okumura Yongfu is one of them.
"Swear to follow the Governor!"
"Kill!" Maeda Toshiya made a move, rode his horse and rushed out, and with a stab of the spear in his hand, he stabbed an oncoming enemy to death. He knew that if he held on here, it would be impossible to hold it when his troops and morale were at a disadvantage. So, he has only one plan now, and speaking of which, this idea is thanks to Oda Yoshinobu.
"There is only one goal, Saito Ryuko's head!" Maeda Toshiya shouted as he attacked the Saito army's formation. Capture the thief and capture the king first, although Maeda Toshiya, who has not read many books, may not know this allusion, but he does know very well about this tactic that Oda Yoshinobu has demonstrated many times, after all, Oda Yoshinobu relied on this all the way to climb to the current position.
"Saito Ryuxing hurry up and die!" When Okumura Nagasuki heard Maeda Toshiie's words, he immediately shouted knowingly.

"Saito Ryuxing hurry up and die!" Maeda's army immediately followed suit, and the huge shout suddenly scared Saito Ryuxing, who was still in the process of succeeding in the strategy and became extremely excited, to wake up in fright.
"Slaughter them for me!" Looking at the Maeda army that rushed towards him like a wolf and a tiger, Saito Ryuxing shouted in a panic. He recognized that Maeda Toshi's family was coming, and it was this kid who chased him the most fiercely, but now the new hatred and old hatred made him forget the most important thing at once.
Mamoru Ando was by Saito Ryuxing's side at this time, and if he reminded him, even if Saito Ryuxing was still stubborn, he could lead the army alone to intercept Niwa Nagahide and them. It's just that in this case, Mamoru Ando obviously has other thoughts.
"I didn't expect the lord's back hand to be like this, although it is more dangerous, but it can indeed achieve the greatest results......" Ando Mamoru stood behind Saito Ryuxing, looking at his back and wondering in his heart, "If Oda Nobunaga can be killed in this battle, then the lord's prestige will probably completely make those small wealthy families in his country fall over, and then with the lord's actions today, we will be in danger......"
Thinking of this, Mamoru Ando made a few gestures to the flag book next to him covertly, and after a while, the offensive of the Saito army was inexplicably weakened.
"But unfortunately, at least for now, the vast majority of this army still listens to my ......" Mamoru Ando thought coldly at Saito Ryuxing's back, and then he turned his head to look into the distance, where Oda Nobunaga was.
"Don't die, big fool...... Otherwise, I wouldn't have survived! ā
