Daosheng Village, a small village with only a dozen people. At this time, the inhabitants of the village had already fled the area, and they would not return until the war was over.www.biquge.info It's hard to say whether this small village will exist when they return...... However, this is something that civilians in troubled times have long been accustomed to. Belch...... It's a sad habit......

And not far from Inabu Village, there is a plain, where Oda Nobunaga is preparing to face Oda Nobuyuki. It's empty, it's a great place for field battles, and if ......

"Hey, Master Yoshi, did you choose the wrong place?" Yamada Masamura asked strangely, although he didn't have any military talent, but after all, he had been educated by Hirate Masahide and Saito Michizo, so it was impossible not to see that this place was really unfavorable to his side.

"Huh, what? Are you scared? Oda Nobunaga squinted his eyes and sneered with disdain.

"Bastard! How could I be afraid? Isn't there still a bunch of scum like you~" Yamada Masamura retorted unhappily.

"Hehe, it's enough to have you kid~" Oda Nobunaga said with a smile, looking like "I just rely on you to behead ten thousand people", which made Yamada Masamura's teeth itch.

Teasing for a while (hey, teasing the dog?) Only then did Oda Nobunaga tell the reason, "Overlord Maru, since you know the advantages and disadvantages of the forces of both sides, do you think it is a better choice to defend the city?" Oda Nobunaga asked rhetorically.

"That's for sure...... No! Halfway through his words, Yamada Masamura immediately came to his senses and changed his tone, frowning and saying, "Indeed, if we stick to Cheongju, we may be able to hold out for a long time, but with Nobuyuki's current methods, it is likely that we will win over all those neutral retainers within a few months......"

"Not bad!" Oda Nobunaga gave a few appreciative glances, and then ignored Yamada Masamura's gritted teeth, turned his head to look ahead, and said with a serious face, "In addition to these, what is more important is that only a field battle can end this senseless war as quickly as possible, otherwise if it is consumed, neither the Imagawa family nor the Toki family will let go of this opportunity!" ”

After saying that, Oda Nobunaga couldn't help but show a wry smile, "Compared to Kanjuro, that kid thinks the same way, right?" That's why we started the army as quickly as we could, before we could react. ”

"Hmph, he probably just doesn't want to become the head of his family, and become a puppet of Toki and Imagawa, right?" Yamada Masamura snorted coldly, he had never had a good impression of Oda Nobuyuki's kid.

When Oda Nobunaga and the others were talking nonsense, the Oda army had already begun to set up the main formation. After another quarter of an hour, a large number of flags suddenly appeared in the distance.

"It's finally here......" Oda Nobunaga muttered to himself, squinting at his eagle eyes.

Maeda Toshiie, Sasa Narumasa and the others all tightened their weapons, and if anyone approached them, they might be able to hear a drum song composed of various extremely fast heartbeats. The huge disadvantage in strength made them arrogant people worry and fear. It's just that when they looked at the two people standing in the front, their eyes were filled with determination again.

"You must not let the lord underestimate him, let alone let that bastard of Overlord Pill act alone!" Maeda Toshiya and the others thought to themselves.

As a character of the same period, and a person who played and practiced together almost all the time in childhood, now, there is a huge chasm. With only a few battles, Yamada Masamura became the hottest supernova of the Oda family. The first fierce general of the future Oda family, the successor of Shibata Katsuie, and the samurai who surpassed Shibata Katsuie......

Numerous accolades have accompanied Yamada Masamura, and even Oda Nobumitsu and Shibata Katsuie himself have repeatedly praised his martial arts. Hawkers,Maybe there are a lot of people who praise these people just because Yamada Masamura is a big celebrity around Oda Nobunaga.,But think about it carefully.,A person without any background mixed into this status.,How can you have some real talent?

And all this, Maeda Toshiya they know very well, although they also try to catch up, but every time it seems to get closer, in the end they find that the gap is getting bigger and bigger.

Now, however, they are no longer focusing on pursuing Yamada Masamura's martial arts, but on meritorious deeds...... Well, among these little friends, the biggest official today is not Yamada Masamura, but Niwa Nagahide. With his outstanding talent in domestic affairs and his military talent, this kid became a general at the age of only 21.

Maybe it's the only one among the friends who is the head of the house, but ...... His presence made Maeda Toshiya and others seem to have found a way to surpass Yamada Masamura.

"In this war, we must make more feats than the Overlord Pill! Strive to be promoted to a general as soon as possible! Maeda Toshiya and others were constantly hypnotizing themselves in their hearts.

Oda Nobu's march got closer and closer, and finally, about 200 meters from Nobunaga's army, stopped.

"Whew...... "The autumn breeze is wh......isking, which makes the atmosphere on the field seem so dignified." Whether it was Nobunaga's army or Nobunaga's marching army, at this time they inexplicably lost all their voices, and just stood there quietly, like statues.

"The atmosphere is ...... This state of affairs...... Could it be ......" Yamada Masamura's eyes flashed with a strange luster, and he remembered some scenes that he often saw in novels, movies and television.

Sure enough, under the expectant gaze of Yamada Masamura, Oda Nobunaga and Nobuyuki rode slowly out of their respective camps and stopped at a distance of about 20 meters.

"If you rush out at this time...... Can you just slaughter this kid? Yamada Masamura estimated the distance and thought to himself.

Well, that's what he actually thought, because the bosses of both sides went out alone, how could there be no vigilant people around? At least, Maeda Toshiya and the others, who were standing in front of the battle on horseback, were always ready to kill as soon as possible. But then again, Yamada Masamura just thought so, after all, he wouldn't do this kind of sneak attack or something.

Yamada Masamura was thinking blindly here, and the soldiers of the two armies were holding their breath and staring at their respective lords, but what about Oda Nobunaga and Oda Nobuyuki? Just sat on their horses and looked at each other...... Look at each other...... Look at each other...... It seems to have passed thousands of mountains and rivers, and it seems to have gone through a hundred turns and thousands of times...... Finally, someone spoke.

"You're here......"

"I'm coming......"

"You shouldn't have ......"

"But I must come ......"

"It has to be?"

"It has to be ......"

Silent...... There was a long silence...... Time seemed to freeze, and the two confronted each other like this, letting the autumn breeze blow.

Ahem......

I don't know how long it has been, Oda Nobunaga looked at Oda Nobuyuki, and couldn't help but persuade the Lord again, "Kanjuro, go back, today's incident should not have happened, and the family is now ......"

"Alright, brother, don't you think it's very pointless to say these things at such a time?" Oda Nobuyuki scoffed.

"But this is the ...... of this family," Oda Nobunaga said anxiously, he really didn't want to be an enemy of his own brother.

"There will be no problems with this family! Just beat you! I will lead the Oda family to completely unify Owari! Oda Nobuyuki interrupted Oda Nobunaga's words and said with a blank face.

After a pause, Oda Nobuyuki suddenly showed a condescending appearance, looked at Oda Nobunaga arrogantly and said, "Brother, you were originally a fool who behaved strangely, and my father chose you in a daze, and helped you bring in the pit viper, an ally, but don't really think that the strength of the family in the past few years has been obtained by you!" ”

"You...... It's not suitable to be the head of the family at all! Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many families on my side today! Oda Nobuyuki completely ignored Oda Nobunaga's bitter expression and said coldly, "If you really think about your family, get off your horse and surrender immediately." In this way, I will give you a way to live......"

Hearing Oda Nobuyuki's cold words, Oda Nobunaga completely broke off his mind of making peace with Oda Nobuyuki, he closed his eyes slightly, and said with a sad face, "Why is it so ......?"

"Fight! Brother! Let everyone in Owari see who is the most suitable to serve as the head of the family! Oda Nobuyuki yelled, and then rode straight back. And Oda Nobunaga, but he looked at the back of Oda Nobuyuki in the distance in such a daze, and was silent for a long time, just now relying on nonsense with Yamada Masamura and a little calmed down, at this time completely fell into a trough.

"Nima, what is this kid doing?!" Seeing that Oda Nobuyuki was about to return to the formation, but Oda Nobunaga was still stunned between the two armies, Yamada Masamura suddenly cursed, and immediately rode out of the horse and rushed to Oda Nobunaga's side.

"I went, was hit? Could it be that Xinxing that kid will still be out of the mouth?! As soon as Yamada Masamura approached, he saw Oda Nobunaga's loveless and unbeaten-like appearance, and suddenly thought helplessly. But after thinking about it, he was not satisfied with his hands, so he forcibly brought Oda Nobunaga back to the main camp by pulling the reins.

As soon as I returned to the formation, I heard the sound of the advancing horn blowing from the opposite side, but now Oda Nobunaga looked dead......

"Hey! Kichibo-sama, you bastard, wake me up! Yamada Masamura grabbed Oda Nobunaga's shoulders and shook it constantly, and this gesture immediately stunned everyone except Maeda Toshiya and others.

Fortunately, Oda Nobunaga is not such an easy person to collapse, and after shaking it twice, he came back to his soul.

"I'm sorry......" Oda Nobunaga whispered to Yamada Masamura, then drew his sword and pointed forward, "Forward!" ”

The spears were like a forest, overlapping in front and back, and slowly walking towards the enemy.

150 m ......

100 m ......

50 m ......

"Raise your bow!"

Both sides gave orders almost at the same time, and suddenly countless ashigaru raised their longbows in their hands.

30 m ...... Both armies stopped at the same time.

"Shoot!"

When they came into range, they shot their arrows at the same time again.

"Whoosh~" Countless arrows are shot at a very low arc, which is the common use of most bows and arrows in this era, for various reasons, flat shooting within 30 meters is the most powerful.

"Poof! Burst! "The two sides fired volleys of arrows, and the footlight kept falling, but this did not cause any confusion between the two armies.

"Whoosh~"

"Whoosh~"

When the third wave of arrows was fired, Lin Tonggu, the general in the front, immediately gave the order, "Attack!" ”

"Yizhong!" Takigawa Kazuki, the general of Nobunaga's front, immediately shouted when he saw the other party's move.

"Yes!" Takigawa responded with a loud voice, then turned his head and yelled, "Iron Artillery Team! Advance! Three-stage shooting strategy! ”

Yes, three dans, after Yamada Masamura provided the idea, the iron cannon masters Oda Nobunaga and Takikawa Kazuki quickly realized this tactic, after all, this tactic is not difficult.

With Takigawa Mashige's order, the 300 iron artillery teams were divided into three columns in a row of 100 people, and walked quickly to the front of the formation, standing behind the gun forest.

Iron artillery team, if there were many samurai in this period who did not know the power of iron cannons, then the people of the Oda family were certainly not among them. Although the Iron Artillery Corps had been secretly trained as a direct unit of Oda Nobunaga, this did not prevent Oda Nobuyuki from knowing the value of Iron Artillery on the battlefield.

"Speed up! Rush into the enemy line! Suzuta Saki, who was the commander of the front line, shouted.

"Kill!" Under the leadership of Suzuta Saki, the Nobunaga army accelerated and rushed towards Nobunaga's army, but no matter how fast they were, how could they pass the lead pill as fast?

"Shoot!" With Takigawa Kazuki's order, 100 iron cannons immediately erupted a tongue of fire that urged life, and with a loud sound, more than a dozen people fell down in an instant.

"Don't be afraid! Keep accelerating! Iron cannons cannons can't be so fast," Suzuta Saki shouted, and although he had never used an iron cannon, he knew how slow this weapon could fire. However, when he got closer and closer to Nobunaga's army, he found that the iron artillery team, which he had thought would retreat to his main camp after shooting, was still standing in the gap between the guns and aiming at his side.

"Not good!" Suddenly, Suzuta Saki said in a dark voice and quickly stopped. At this moment, a loud sound rang in my ears again.

"Don't stop! Keep shooting! Takigawa shouted excitedly.

The Takigawa family, as one of the many ninja families in Koga, has been reused by Oda Nobunaga after taking his brother Takigawa Mashige to join Oda Nobunaga, and even let their brother take charge of the training of the iron artillery team. And now, their results are finally about to be revealed to the world.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! The incessant roar stimulated the ears and nerves of the marching soldiers, and the falling corpses made their high morale due to the superiority of their troops disappear without a trace.

The tactics of the three-stage attack not only reduced the disadvantage of the iron artillery, but also made the enemy have a state of fear.

"Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid! Rush over to me! Suzuta Saki kept shouting, but it didn't work to any avail.

"Humph! Pass the order down, and the second team advances! Oda Nobuyuki ordered with a cold snort.

"Order, the second team advances!" Oda Nobunaga gave the order almost at the same time.
