"Kobayakawa-sama! The enemy has retreated! Ukita Naoya said excitedly, his eyes glowing, clearly expecting something. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Hehe, very good, then pass the order! Start the pursuit! Kobayakawa Takashi said loudly. He would not let go of this kind of opportunity, knowing that this kind of pursuit battle is very easy to defeat the enemy army. And even if the Oda army did not break and escape, the Maori army would be able to hang the Oda army all the time, slowing down their return to help.

It's just a pity that he miscalculated, and after discussing with Maeda Toshiya and others, 5,000 people directly led by Hashiba Hideyoshi quickly returned to Muroyama Castle. They didn't know how many enemies there were, but they didn't think there were too many.

At the same time, Ikeda Tsuneko led 5,000 men to Kamitsuki Castle to guard against possible enemies from Mimasaka. Maeda Toshiie and Sasa Narumasa led the remaining 20,000 or so Oda troops to slowly retreat towards Muroyama Castle.

In this regard, Kobayakawa Takakei led the army to try to storm the enemy position several times, but they were blocked by Maeda Toshiya and others, seeing this, Kobayakawa Takakei immediately gave up the pursuit, and ordered Ukita Naokie to lead the army to Misasaka, so that he could attack Harima from Misasaka. Speaking of which, Kobayakawa Takakei had already ordered the Misaku Hao clan to attack Harima before, but in the face of Shangyue Castle, I don't know if they really can't attack it, or if they don't want to lose their troops. However, at this time, Kobayakawa Takashi no longer wants the Misaku wealthy family to play soy sauce like this.

On the other hand, Inhata, after learning that Hayashi Fu Castle had been attacked, Niwa Nagahide and Akechi Mitsuhide also decided to withdraw their troops immediately, and they did not hesitate at all. Well, after all, their original purpose was only to open the battle line to the enemy's territory, and now that it has been delayed for so long, they have nothing to pity.

In this regard, Yoshikawa Motoharu also began to pursue, but it was more appropriate to delay the time than to pursue. Yoshikawa Motoharu and Niwa Nagahide and Akechi Mitsuhide have fought more than a dozen times, city defense battles, siege battles, field battles, and almost all of them have tried the way of war, so Yoshikawa Motoharu didn't feel that when retreating, Akechi Mitsuhide and Niwa Nagahide would show their flaws to themselves.

Therefore, he just led the army to hang the Oda army from afar, not to step forward to attack and delay the speed of the opponent's reinforcements.

Echizen Kanatsu Castle.

"Huh? The enemy is attacking Oda Castle from the sea?! How many people are there?! Shibata Katsuya asked in a deep voice, and it seemed that he was not too flustered. The reason is also very simple, Echizen has been trained by him for many years, and all the places that may be attacked are heavily guarded. Although the enemy's attack from the sea was somewhat unexpected, even if the enemy was able to capture Oda Castle, he would not be able to advance half a step. Because it takes at least 2 hours to reach Toba or Fuchu from Oda Castle, so much time is enough time for the Oda army to set up defenses in the two castles.

"About 3 or 4,000 people." The ninja replied in a deep voice.

"Hmm......" Shibata Katsuya pondered for a moment, then turned to Asakura Jingjing and said, "Jingjing, I'll leave it to you there." If the enemy forces are strong, we will retreat to defend Toba and Fuchu, and at the same time send someone to report to us. ”

"Yes!" Asakura Jingjing responded when he heard this.

After arranging everything, Shibata Katsuya turned his head to look at the Uesugi army outside the city, which was still attacking, "Uesugi Kenshin, is this only your ability?" If that's the case, you won't be able to beat Kanatsu Castle~" Shibata Katsuya muttered to himself in a low voice.

Shibata Katsuie looks very calm, and Imagawa Shin is also calm. Just like Shibata Katsuie, or rather, the Imagawa clan's defense of Enoe is far above Shibata Katsuie. Because as early as after the failure of Takeda's first invasion of Suruga, the Imagawa clan was already planning for the future.

And after subduing the Oda family and receiving a large amount of financial support, the Imagawa clan really had a tendency to build Enoe into an iron bucket. But it's no wonder that for Shibata Katsuie, Echizen is his fiefdom, and if he loses it, although it's hard to accept, it's just that. But for the Imagawa clan, Enoe is his last line of defense, if Enoe is lost, the only insistence in the Imagawa clan's heart will disappear, and all he can do is seppuku one way.

"Shingen Takeda! You're underestimating me! Imagawa sneered when he heard the news that Prima Castle had been attacked.

"Lord, although Yinma City has deployed defenses in advance, you still have to be careful of the Takeda family's desperate bets." Urinjeon Changzhao reminded.

"Hmm......" Imagawa nodded when he heard this, "then, you'll be in charge there." ”

"Yes!"

Watching the Uden Nagasho leave, Imagawa Shin turned his head to look at the sky outside, and said in a somewhat solemn tone, "Next, it's not easy to fight." ”

Imagawa was right, and after seeing that the strategy of attacking Inma Castle was not as smooth as he imagined, the offensive of the Takeda army began to become more violent. But strictly speaking, even if this offensive is twice as ferocious, Imagawa really doesn't bother to pay attention to it. It's just that the question is...... As time passed, the moat of the High Heavenly God Castle was being filled in by the Takeda Army little by little, which made it more and more difficult to defend the High Heavenly God Castle.

"Nobody......" Imagawa sighed, he had the feeling that it was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. In his opinion, with the defense of High Heavenly God City, if he still had the previous retainers, the Imagawa clan would not be afraid of Takeda Shingen at all. It's just that now, the only general in the entire High Heaven God City who really reassures the Imagawa clan is Asahina Taichao, although there are still many young samurai who are growing rapidly, but even if they grow faster, how can they be in time?

This situation has made many times the Imagawa clan and even Hayakawa have to put on armor and go to command the troops to defend the city, but can such a three-person turn really be able to defend the high heavenly god city?

"It's time!" The Imagawa clan, who was half-groaning, said in a deep voice.

"Are you going to use artillery?" Hayakawa asked with some concern, in her opinion, although the power of the cannon seemed to be very strong, but it was Takeda Shingen in front of her! And after using artillery, the Imagawa family no longer has any hole cards, which makes Hayakawa very uncomfortable.

"Hehe, what else can be done? If the Takeda family is allowed to fill the moat, then the High Heavenly God City will be completely surrounded by it, and then we will really have nothing to do. Imagawa smiled bitterly.

"In that case, send someone to ask Your Highness for help." Hayakawa looked at Imagawa and smiled, "Our goal now is to keep Enoe, not to prove anything." ”

Hearing this, the Imagawa clan was silent for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and refused, "Wait, it's really not okay to ask the lord for help!" After all, now Echizen, Sanin, and Sanyo have not asked for help from the lord, and even they have already killed the enemy country to open up the battlefield. If I were the first to ask the lord for help, wouldn't it prove that I couldn't hold the river at all?! And Matsudaira-sama! I guess he didn't want to ask the lord for help so soon. ”

Hearing Imagawa really say this, Hayakawa stopped persuading because she knew that it would be useless to persuade like this. "Alas, it would be nice if the Hojo family could go to war." Hayakawa sighed.

It's a pity that she also knows that it is impossible, not to mention the containment of the Kanto heroes, with the wisdom of the Hojo clan Yasu and the Hojo clan alone, it is impossible to choose to send troops in such a situation where the general situation is not clear. Although it seems that he is the only person in the entire world who can change the situation, it is clear that the Hojo family does not want to play such a role.

Outside the High Heavenly God Castle, Takeda Shingen stared intently at the fortified city in front of him, and countless Takeda troops continued to attack the castle, and more of them kept throwing sandbags into the moat outside the castle.

"Lord, I believe that at this rate, in a few days, the family will be able to besiege the city." Muto Masayuki said respectfully.

"Hmm." Takeda Shingen nodded, his face was still very solemn, because he always had a very bad feeling, but he didn't know what it was. At this moment, he suddenly looked in surprise at a place in the wall of the High Heavenly God City, and two black cylindrical objects protruded from the gap above the city wall.

"That's ......" Takeda Shingen was puzzled when he heard two deafening loud bangs, followed by an even louder sound among his own troops.

Looking around, where the sound came from, countless Takeda military ashigaru scattered around like a tide, as if they had seen something terrifying. Soon after, two loud noises followed, and the Takeda Gun's main camp followed closely again, as if it were soundtrack.

It's just obvious that Takeda Shingen is not in the mood to appreciate this kind of music, because as far as his eyes can see, the entire Takeda Army's formation has already been completely chaotic with these loud sounds. Countless ashigaru people ran around in confusion, as if they were afraid that the next sound would appear in their location, and in the chaos, there were countless ashigaru who were trampled to death, even if the samurai around them tried their best to stop, it didn't have any effect.

"Withdraw! Withdraw immediately! Seeing this, Takeda Shingen immediately shouted, and then took the lead in retreating to the rear. He didn't know what it was, but he knew that if it continued like this, the Takeda family would suffer even more losses.

"Boom! Rumble! The loud sound was like a soul-inducing music, constantly resounding in the formation of the Takeda army. And at this time, the Takeda army didn't even wait for Takeda Shingen's order, and he had already begun to flee frantically to the rear, that crazy appearance, it seemed that he was resentful of his parents for giving birth to two legs for himself?

"Takeda Army...... Withdrawn? Inside the High Heavenly God Castle, a soldier of the Imagawa family looked at the scene in front of him and muttered to himself in disbelief.

"It seems to be...... Withdraw ......" the other echoed in a trembling voice, also with an expression of disbelief.

"We ...... Victorious?! ”

"We've won!"

"Victory!"
