"Quick! Faster! Oda Yoshinobu anxiously urged, along the way he would see the traces of the battle between the Oda army and the Saito army from time to time, although everyone said that those traces seemed to be the Oda army did not suffer any losses, but the worry in Oda Yoshinobu's confidence did not decrease because of this, but became stronger.

"Lord, are you thinking too much? Saito Ryuxing doesn't have any skills, how can he have any backhand? And His Highness has an army of 5,000 people! With Saito Ryuxing's troops, even if you want to set up an ambush, there won't be so many people available! Keiji Maeda saw Oda Yoshinobu's solemn expression and persuaded with a grin.

"No, now it seems that Saito Ryuxing must be prepared, otherwise it would not have been possible to get rid of His Highness's pursuit until now. If he really wants to run, just drill into the forest, in this kind of dark night, the family can't catch up at all! Li Huamei said.

"What Lord Li said is right, Saito Ryuxing retreats like this, in the end, it will only make the pursuing troops and most of His Highness farther and farther away, and after a certain distance, even if Maeda-sama and they want to reflexively rescue, it will be too late." Fernande said in a deep voice.

"I see, so where will they set up an ambush?" Keiji Maeda scratched his head, then asked again.

"If you chase down, you will know the number of troops of His Highness, if Saito Ryuko wants to ambush, he can only ambush on the main road. So we just have to follow the main road and we will definitely find out. Li Huamei said in a deep voice.

At this moment, suddenly there was a loud noise in the sky, "What sound?!" Oda Yoshinobu looked up sharply, only to find that the sky in the distance, the original darkness of the night was suddenly replaced by a burst of light.

"It's an arrow! It must be the lord who has been ambushed! Full speed ahead!! Oda Nobunaga roared, his face full of impatience. Well, he can't help but be in a hurry, after all, in the legend, Oda Nobunaga said that this battle was nine deaths. After running two steps, Oda Yoshinobu suddenly turned around and shouted, "Hua Mei, I and some people will go first, you and the Death Reaper Quickly catch up!" ”

After speaking, without waiting for Li Huamei's answer, he shouted directly, "Qingci!" Go for a long time! Let's go first! With that, a dodge had already appeared a few meters away.

"Understood!" Keiji Maeda and Yukihisa Shiraki responded with solemn faces, and at the same time raised the speed to the fastest, and followed Oda Yoshinobu with difficulty to rush in the direction of the arrow.

In a short time, the figures of the three of them had disappeared from everyone's sight. Seeing this, Li Huamei hurriedly said, "Everyone hurry up!" Be sure to get to the battlefield quickly! ”

"Yes!"

At this time, New Ghana.

In the face of the Saito army rushing from all over the mountains, the formation of the Oda army was like a floating boat in the sea, and under the continuous impact of the waves, it seemed that the boat could capsize at any time.

"Humph!" Oda Nobunaga snorted coldly, and slashed the enemy who rushed from nowhere, and then stepped out and slashed down with a knife, resulting in another enemy. "That's interesting! Saito Ryuko, where did you come from to conjure up so many troops? Oda Nobunaga looked around, a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

There was indeed a problem with the number of Saito's army, and on the eve of Oda Nobunaga's troops, he calculated the strength of Saito's army, and in his guess, it was about 8,000 to 10,000 people. After sending troops, Ghana had 5,000 people, and Saito Ryuko's reinforcements were about 3,000 people. But now, no matter how you look at the strength here, there are more than 3,000 people, and the troops of Ghana are still staying in Ghana, and the troops of Saito Ryuxing are still in front of me and do not know where. So where did so many troops come from?

"There's only one goal! Oda Nobunaga's head! Don't do unnecessary things! The Lord has an order! Who can get Oda Nobunaga's head, the lord of the city! 3,000 stone territory! A voice interrupted Oda Nobunaga's thoughts, and when he looked up, he saw that it was a young samurai, and he was standing in the rear, constantly directing the troops.

"Who is this kid? I don't know. Oda Nobunaga thought strangely, and then shouted loudly, "Hey! That Samurai of the Saito family over there! Did you design this ambush? Name me! ”

Hearing Oda Nobunaga's shout, Shigeharu Takenaka raised his eyes and saw that he was right in front of Oda Nobunaga's sharp eagle eyes. "What kind of eyes are these, they are still full of confidence and majesty in this situation......" Shigeharu Takenaka sighed in his heart, and then took a deep breath and shouted, "It's Shigeharu Takenaka, a retainer of the Saito family!" His Royal Highness Oda! Hand over your head! ”

"Haha! Shigeharu Takenaka?! I remember you! But if you want my head from Oda Nobunaga, then come up with your skills! Oda Nobunaga smiled, not showing any decline. But in fact, the position of the Oda army is becoming more and more dangerous.

Speaking of which, Oda Nobunaga's troops here are only about 3,000 people, which is about the same as the number of Saito's army, or even a little more. But the problem is that the Oda army has been on the road to Ghana since the morning, and finally rested, and was played by Saito Ryuxing for a night attack, although it was unsuccessful, but it was also very tired. Then I chased all the way here, and the physical exertion was not too great.

And after the ambush, the morale blow was even more miserable, and the impact of these two aspects, so that the Oda army can still hold on to it now, is already the result of Mori Kecheng and others doing their best to maintain it.

But after all, the disadvantage was too great, and finally at a certain moment, the formation was torn apart, and then, the Saito army rushed into this hole like a hungry wolf that saw meat, and it continued to grow bigger, and finally, the position of the Oda army was completely broken.

"Steady! Hold it all for me! Sakuma Nobumori kept shouting, but now, even if he shouted his throat, he could no longer make the Oda army reassemble its position.

"Brother! Unstoppable! Sakuma shouted.

"Bastard! If you can't stop it, you have to block it for me! Sakuma Nobumori scolded fiercely after stabbing an enemy soldier with a single shot.

It's not that he doesn't want to make other choices, it's because there is no choice at all. If they leave here and lead people directly to protect Oda Nobunaga, then the troops on this side will be quickly routed by the Saito army because they have lost their main combat power. At that time, even if he ran to Oda Nobunaga's side, he would only face more enemies.

"Shengji! Now is the time to show the loyalty of the Sakuma family! Even if you lose your life! Defend me from the enemy, too! Sakuma Nobumori shouted, his tone full of tragedy. Obviously, he already has a will to die.

When Oda Nobunaga had just succeeded as the family governor, Sakuma Nobumori was actually not optimistic about this fool. But unlike Shibata Katsuya and others, the Sakuma family is very loyal to Oda Nobuhide, so although he doesn't approve of it, he still chooses to obey. It's just that by now, Sakuma Nobumori has been completely convinced, because Oda Nobunaga has shown a talent that is far beyond Oda Nobuhide during his time as the family governor, and it has also made Sakuma Nobumori see the bright future of the Oda family.

Therefore, even if Sakuma Nobumori dies in battle, he hopes to keep the hope of the rise of Oda Nobunaga, the Oda family.

"Yes!" Sakuma shouted.

At the same time, Mori Kecheng and Lin Xiuzhen made the same decision as Sakuma Nobumori almost at the same time, and they led their own troops to desperately block the Saito army, just to be able to delay time and hold out until Niwa Nagahide and others came back to help. As long as that time comes, Oda Nobunaga will be safe.

The fierce battle was still going on, and the entire Oda army was cut into countless parts by the Saito army, and they fought on their own, only knowing how to constantly attack the enemy numbly wielding weapons. It was not that no one of them fled, but those who tried to escape could not break through the encirclement of the Saito army at all, but instead exposed themselves to the enemy. But even so, the number of the Oda army is getting smaller and smaller, because they really can't fight. In the face of the Saito army, which was waiting for work like a wolf, the Oda army, which had been pursuing all night, really had no strength.

Shigeharu Takenaka looked at the battlefield with a serious expression, even if the situation was overwhelmingly advantageous now, he did not relax. Because he knew very well that as long as Oda Nobunaga was not dead, the battle was not won. Moreover, he also saw the arrows sent out by the Oda Army before, although it was unlikely, but he had to prepare for the Oda Army to come to help.

At this moment, the secret shinobi who had been following Shigeharu Takenaka suddenly appeared beside him, "Lord Takenaka! Reinforcements from the Oda Army are coming soon, so get ready! ”

"Tsk, are you still here?" Shigeharu Takenaka scolded secretly, and then immediately ordered, "The Iron Artillery Team prepares, wait for my orders, and give the Oda Army a big gift!" After speaking, he ordered the secret ninja, "You go and pass the order to the other adults and let them get ready!" He didn't ask why the reinforcements were there, because that wasn't what he should have asked.

"Yes!"

Hawkers, this iron artillery team is naturally the one that fired the first shot during the ambush before, and after the encirclement was established, they withdrew to Takenaka Shigeji's side. Originally, Shigeharu Takenaka was to prevent the Oda Army on the Ghana side, but he didn't expect it to be used in the opposite direction.

After a while, countless fires suddenly appeared in the distance, and then a rush of footsteps was heard, and it was Niwa Nagahide and others who led the army back to help.

"It's reinforcements! Reinforcements are coming! Let's all work hard! Defeat the enemy army! Let's go back to Owari together! Seeing this, Oda Nobunaga hurriedly shouted.

"Let's go back to Owari together!" Countless voices rang out, accompanied by a surge in the morale of the Oda army. There is no situation that boosts morale more than seeing reinforcements arrive at a time like this. It's just that......

"Hehe, do you want to go back to Owari together?" Shigeharu Takenaka sneered in his heart, and slowly raised his right hand. "Let's go to hell together, right?" Immediately, his right hand swung down fiercely. Immediately, only a loud sound was heard, and dozens of people fell on the flanks of the Oda army.

"Ignore it! Keep moving! Rescue the lord! Sasa Narimasa, who rushed to the front, shouted, a stray bullet just now shattered the ornament on his pocket, but he didn't react at all, and still rushed forward frantically.

"Stop them!" The Saito army had already received an order and blocked in front of Oda's reinforcements, and the array of guns like a forest was like an impregnable barrier.

"Don't be afraid! Keep rushing! But even so, Sasa Narimasa and the others still did not slow down, Sasa Narimasa rushed to the front first, and with a fierce sweep of the spear in his hand, he knocked down several enemy soldiers, and then the Oda army around him immediately rushed up, constantly impacting the defense line of the Saito army.

"Attack! Offensive! Niwa Nagahide kept shouting, and his eyes, which had always been known for his calmness, were full of anxiety at this time.

On the other side, Oda Nobunaga saw that the reinforcements were blocked, and hurriedly ordered, "Everyone obey the order!" Then attack together! Rendezvous with reinforcements! Following his order, the Oda army once again reluctantly formed a remnant formation, and while continuing to fight with the Saito army, it slowly moved towards Niwa Nagahide's side.

"Humph! Don't you give up? Seeing this, Shigeharu Takenaka snorted coldly again, "Iron artillery team, follow me around behind the enemy reinforcements and continue shooting!" "In other words, there are dozens of troops around Takenaka Shigeji, which are all the troops of the Takenaka family, which have never been sent, and now, they can no longer preserve their strength.

"Bang bang bang!" The sound of iron cannons came again, and in an instant, countless Oda troops fell.

"Bastard!" Sasa Chengzheng looked at the situation behind him and suddenly cursed.

"Ignore them! The iron cannon is slow to fire, so it won't do much damage! Seeing this, Niwa Nagahide hurriedly shouted.

"Hmmm! I know! Sasa Narumasa replied, brandishing his spear again and attacking forward.

The two sides continued to fight, and the Saito army blocked the convergence of the Oda armies on both sides, and continued to attack from the rear and flanks. The Oda armies on both sides ignored it and frantically advanced forward.

"Pass the order down and let those families beat me to death!" If Oda Nobunaga is allowed to escape, they will wait for the lord to ask for the guilt! Shigeharu Takenaka was also anxious when he saw this, and he could no longer maintain that elegant posture, and shouted anxiously. Once the Oda armies on both sides converge, the morale of the Oda army will definitely be greatly boosted, and the Oda army will be able to break out of the encirclement in one go.

Perhaps, for Saito Ryuko, even if the Oda army escapes, he will achieve the purpose of this battle. But for Shigeharu Takenaka, this obviously represents the failure of his strategy, you must know that in order to keep Oda Nobunaga here, he secretly brought the Saito army guarding the Omi and Mino borders.

At this moment, a huge roar resounded on the battlefield, and although there were all kinds of sounds on the battlefield, the sound was still very clear to everyone's ears.

"The Oda family, Oda Yoshinobu is here! Who dares to hurt my lord! ”
