At night, the Oda army's main camp was still full of a sense of slaughter, and under the orders of Oda Nobunaga, Maeda Toshiie and Sasa Narumasa led the team to patrol around the camp. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In fact, there is no need for Oda Nobunaga's special advice, and the Maeda Toshiya will not take it lightly, because what happened last year was not forgotten so quickly.

"Lijia, did you find anything?"

"No, hey, I'd like the Saito Army to sneak up on it, so I'll show them how powerful my gun is on the right and left!" Maeda Toshiya responded casually, and then suddenly reacted, turned his head and looked at the visitor strangely and said, "Yoshinobu, why haven't you rested yet?" Ha! It can't be nervous and can't sleep, right?! ”

"Cut, it's just a little confused." Oda Yoshinobu said disdainfully. Nervous? He? How can it be!

"Confused?!" Maeda Toshiya was even more surprised when he heard this, "You kid even have doubts?!" It's not your style! Maeda Toshiya shook his head and whispered.

"Cut, you don't understand, if there's no situation, I'll go to rest." Oda Yoshinobu said impatiently.

Seeing this, Maeda Toshiya was even more determined in what he thought just now, but he didn't say anything, just said with a strange smile, "Go ahead, don't be dozing off tomorrow morning when everyone is attacking the city." ”

"Don't worry~ You're watching! In this siege battle, I must still be the first credit! Oda Yoshinobu pursed his lips and said with pretended disdain. As he spoke, he shook his head, which seemed to be a little overused, and walked towards his tent.

At this time, about a mile away from Gawana, the 2,000 Saito Army was slowly approaching the Oda Army camp.

"My lord, Lord Inaba has been contacted, but because the Oda family is very closely surveilled, they don't dare to make too many preparations." Mamoru Ando whispered.

"Hehe, it seems that I was scared by the previous time......" Saito Ryuxing sneered and muttered, "Has Daoli arrived at the position over there?" ”

"Because the Oda Army has stepped up the vigil this time, we have no way of knowing the specific news."

"Hmm...... Forget it, leave them alone, when the time comes, we'll act immediately! Saito Ryuko said with a deep groan.

Mamoru Ando looked at Saito Ryuxing's completely different appearance, and he didn't know why, and suddenly he was a little worried, but he didn't know what he was worried about. Perhaps, he was just worried about the outcome of this night attack?

From the very beginning, Mamoru Ando did not approve of this night attack, because in his opinion, Oda Nobunaga had already suffered a loss last year, how could he still make such a mistake? And just by looking at the precautions of the Oda army at this time, you can know that they have been prepared for a long time, and they still carry out a sneak attack under such circumstances...... Well, in his opinion, this is not a sneak attack anymore, but it is just a night attack.

It's just that what Ando Mamoru couldn't have imagined was that Saito Ryuxing, who had been indulging in wine for a year, carried out this sneak attack very strongly, no matter how Nagai Michitoshi or An Teng Mamoru persuaded him, it had no effect at all.

But in addition to the success or failure of this night attack, Ando Mamoru faintly felt that there was something wrong in his heart, but no matter what he thought, he still couldn't figure it out.

In particular, he also found that since leaving Inabayama Castle, Saito Ryuko no longer seems to be the waste wood daimyo who indulged in alcohol all day long. Not only did he put forward many of his own ideas, but he also gave many orders without asking himself.

This kind of behavior is normal for any daimyo to be, but if it was Saito Ryuko, Mamoru Ando had to guess more. You know, although he also hopes that Saito Ryuxing can cheer up, but that is under his control. And now, it's clear that things are out of his control.

"Shou, what are you thinking?" Saito Ryuko's voice, which could not be heard, came.

"The subordinates are just worried about the outcome of this battle." Mamoru Ando hurriedly responded.

"That's right......" Saito Ryuxing didn't respond much to Ando's words, just kept staring at the swaying fire on the side of the Oda family's main camp in front of him. This sneak attack was a temporary decision made by him, and it was decided to go his own way. Whether it was Mori Ando or Michitoshi Nagai's opposition, he ignored it, they didn't know why, but Saito Ryuko himself knew very well that he was going to continue to show weakness and show a powerless appearance. Only then will Oda Nobunaga be fooled.

Of course, if the sneak attack was really successful, he would be happy to defeat the Oda army at once.

Ugly time, that is, at 1 or 2 o'clock in the morning, this time can be said to be the period of the deepest sleep of human beings, of course, provided that you have been asleep for a long time.

Maeda Toshiya led the troops to patrol constantly, but the pace was getting slower and slower, which couldn't be blamed on them, they must be a little sleepy at this time.

"Li family, have you found anything wrong?" Sasa Narumasa's voice came.

"No, I guess they won't come~ It's the middle of the night." Maeda Toshiya muttered casually, but his eyes were still looking around.

"Hehe, who knows, but this is the time when things are most likely to go wrong." Sasa Naruma said with a smile.

"Yes, I guess we won't be able to play tomorrow~" Maeda Toshiya echoed.

Suddenly, the two turned their heads to look in one direction at the same time, and then looked at each other, only to find that the other person had the same meaning in their eyes.

"You go check it out." Maeda Toshiya casually pointed to a ashiki and whispered.

"Yes!" The ashishi replied, and then ran cautiously. Soon after, a scream came, and Maeda Toshiya and the others immediately reacted.

"There's an enemy attack! Get ready for battle! Toshiya Maeda shouted. As soon as he shouted, the troops who were patrolling immediately put up a position and looked at the dark place in front of them, and several people rushed quickly in the formation, shouting as they ran, "Enemy attack!" Enemy attack! ”

"Attack with all your might! Let the people of the Oda family see the strength of the samurai of the Saito family! Seeing this, Saito Ryuko immediately shouted.

"Oh!!" The Saito army responded loudly, and then quickly rushed towards the Oda army's main formation.

"It's coming! Stop them for me! Maeda Toshiie and Sasa Narumasa raised their spears and shouted coldly.

For a time, the sound of killing in the main formation of the Oda army shook the sky, completely breaking the original silence. And with the shouting of killing here, the originally closed gate of the Garner was slowly opened, and under the leadership of Inaba Ryotsu, the Ghana army also came out, and cooperated with Saito Ryukobu to start flanking the Oda army.

"Humph! Has it begun? We're on it too! Michitoshi Nagai said coldly.

Afterwards, countless Saito troops killed the Oda army from his side. However, Nagai Michitoshi did not move, he stood quietly in the darkness, and his eyes did not stay in the Oda army's main formation, but crossed the fiery red and cast it into the night on the opposite side. There, however, is Saito Ryuko's location.

"Is everything your disguise? If that's the case, that's terrible too...... Looks like I'm going to change my strategy in the future. Nagai Michitoshi thought to himself, and then slowly walked towards the Oda army headquarters with a sword.

At this time, the Oda army's main camp was not in chaos due to the three-sided raid of the Saito army. Because of Oda Nobunaga's early deployment and repeated instructions, the Oda army's defense at night this time can be said to be quite perfect. Almost as soon as there was a voice, countless people were woken up.

Countless Oda troops quickly climbed up, grabbed their weapons, and faced the Saito army. And in the depths of the main camp, Oda Nobunaga was listening to the herald's return with a gloomy face. Because of Oda Yoshinobu's speculation, Oda Nobunaga didn't even take off his armor that night, and just leaned on the stool and pretended to sleep for the night.

"My lord! The defenders of Ghana on both sides of the formation have attacked, and the strength of the troops cannot be observed. ”

"Humph! It's nothing more than the original 5,000 people plus reinforcements from Inabayama! Pass the order! The number of enemy troops is very much smaller than ours, so don't be afraid, soldiers! One step back! Chop! Oda Nobunaga said loudly.

As soon as the herald left, a rush of footsteps came, and then Oda Yoshinobu and others were seen in view.

"Lord!"

"Okay, don't talk nonsense, Yoshinobu, you lead your troops to find the winner, at this time, the defenders of Ghana are exhausted, but it is the best chance to break the city!" Oda Nobunaga waved his hand to stop everyone's salute and ordered directly.

"This! But your lordship ...... your safety," Oda Yoshinobu said worriedly.

"Hahaha! There are so many excellent samurai around me, could it be that those clowns of the Saito family who can only sneak attack can still hurt me?! Oda Nobunaga burst out laughing when he heard Oda Yoshinobu's words.

Hearing this, Oda Yoshinobu didn't say much, but just looked at Oda Nobunaga and said respectfully, "Then my lord, be careful!" His subordinates and Lord Shibata will definitely capture Ghana before dawn! ”

"Well, go ahead!" Oda Nobunaga nodded in response.

Okita Nobunaga nodded, and Oda Yoshinobu immediately turned around and ran to the location of his troops. And after Oda Yoshinobu left, Oda Nobunaga gave the order again.

"Yiyi! The two of you go to the west, listen to the voice, there are the least enemies over there, you lead the iron artillery team over, let them know the power of the iron cannon!! ”

"Yes!"

"Rest of you, follow me against the enemy in the east! Let the group of bastards of the Saito family know that it is destiny for the Oda family to regain Mino's great cause! No matter how much they resist, these clowns can't change this fate! Oda Nobunaga shouted.

Who is Oda Nobunaga? He is a man who is determined to take over the world, and now Saito Ryuko has played last year's little trick again, how can Oda Nobunaga be angry without giving him a profound lesson? So he is not going to defend at all, but to counterattack! This is not his whim, you must know that whether it is a night attack or not, the strength of the Oda army occupies an absolute advantage, and at this time, the Saito army took the initiative to give up the city defense of Ghana. If Oda Nobunaga didn't grasp this opportunity, he could have been killed head-on.

"Oh!!"

As Oda Nobunaga's order spread, the Oda army immediately launched a counteroffensive. Maeda Toshiie and Sasa Narumasa were the two good friends who reacted the fastest, and almost as soon as the order was given, they screamed and rushed towards the Saito army with their spears. In the light of the fire, he constantly wields his spear and slashes any enemy who dares but is in front of him.

And under the leadership of the two Maeda Toshiya, the Oda army behind them was also like a drug, and they were all extremely brave. It has to be said that in this year's war, a good samurai is enough to change an army.

It's just that the first to produce results is the west that Takigawa Kazuyi is responsible for. Indeed, as Oda Nobunaga said, the Saito army here has the least number of troops, and at the same time, Saito Ryuko did not assign a fierce general to Nagai Michitoshi, so as soon as they came out, they were stopped by the Oda army, which had been prepared for a long time.

Later, when they were fighting, the Oda army in front of them suddenly retreated en masse, and before they could react to what was going on, a series of black muzzles were already aimed at them.

"It's an iron cannon!" The soldiers of the Saito Army immediately recognized this new weapon, after all, they also had an iron artillery team of more than 100 people in Mino. It's just a pity, as they said, today's iron cannons, although the long-range lethality is not very strong, and the accuracy is not satisfactory, but within 30 steps, it is still quite a powerful killing weapon.

However, even though they knew the power of the iron cannon, they did not flinch, and the latter said that Michiri Nagai behind them would not allow them to back down. "Don't be afraid! It's so close, they can't fire a second shot! Speed me up! "Well, Nagai Michitoshi's words can't be wrong, but unfortunately, the Oda army's side has already studied tactics to cover up this shortcoming.

"Iron Artillery Team! Three-stage shooting! Fire! Takigawa Kazuyi almost roared and gave the order.

Three-stage shooting, that is, the iron cannon team is divided into three groups and takes turns to fire, which has the advantage of covering up the long reload time of the iron cannon in this way to achieve continuous output. This is what Oda Yoshinobu remembered by chance when he was wandering around Kiyoshu Castle once. Well, it's just such a simple thing to remember?

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Under the three-stage shot, the soldiers of the Saito Army were horrified to find that the opponent's iron cannon was fired one after another, and the firing speed was not as slow as they imagined. And it doesn't seem like it's going to stop.

"Ahh "Ahh

Screams continued to sound, at such a close distance, although there was only a little bit of light brought by the firelight, but because of the density of the Saito army, the iron artillery team of the Oda army did not need to aim at all, only needed to aim at a height and fire casually, and there was basically no risk of being missed.

"Unstoppable! Run! Just when the Saito army was at a loss, I don't know who suddenly shouted, and the Saito army broke and fled in an instant.

"Bastard!" Michitoshi Nagai kept trying to stop the rout, but in the midst of the continuous fire of the Oda army's iron cannons, he could only stomp his foot hard and run away......
