Chapter Ninety-Seven: Rebellion (3)

Guarding the mountain castle, Oda Nobuyo elegantly brewed tea, every move, quite a big demeanor. Speaking www.biquge.info of which, the Oda Nobunaga brothers are very proficient in the tea ceremony, especially Oda Nobunaga and Oda Nagayi, who are only 9 years old. Of course, Oda Choeki tea ceremony Daisei is very late.

His expression was very focused, as if there was nothing to attract his attention at this time, except for the tea bowl in his hand. But...... It seems that now in Inayu, Oda Nobunaga and Oda Nobuyuki are leading the troops to fight to the death, right? Can he be so calm in this situation? It's really rare, is this the so-called general quality?

Hawkers, I don't know why Oda Shintoki is so calm, but the person next to him is already anxious like burning ants.

"Lord Shintoki!" Lin Tonggu shouted anxiously.

"Lord Lin...... Don't be in a hurry~" Oda Nobuyuki waved his hand disapprerovingly, "Brother Nobuyuki has so many troops, even without my help, it will be easy to defeat Brother Nobunaga......" Oda Nobutaki said with a relaxed face.

After a pause, Oda Nobutaki changed to a sad face and said, "Moreover, it's not that I don't want to be fast, but the speed of the troop assembly can't be fast...... Alas, you know, I don't have any decent retainers at all......"

"This ......" Hearing Oda Nobutoki's words, Lin Tonggu didn't know whether it was true or false for a while, but he still knew that Oda Nobutoki was a very important key to Oda Nobuyuki at present. So even if he was very dissatisfied with Oda Shintoki, he could only endure it.

"Hmph, that guy Nobuyuki actually sent such a reckless man over, I really don't know what he was thinking." Oda Nobutaki looked at Lin Tonggu's anxious appearance and thought secretly in his heart.

He hates this kind of reckless man the most, so he deliberately disgusts him. Of course, a little delay is also one of his goals. After all, if Oda Nobuyuki loses more, the more benefits he can get. However, he didn't dare to delay for too long, otherwise if it was seen, the consequences would not be something he could bear.

After a while, a retainer slowly walked in, "My lord, the troops have been assembled. ”

"Hmm." Oda Nobutoki answered softly, then turned to Lin Tonggu, who was already a little impatient, and said, "Lord Lin, let's go." ”

Inao Battlefield.

The three-stage firing tactics and a large number of iron cannons caused a large number of casualties in the vanguard of the Shin march, and the first drop of blood after the opening seemed to be about to be taken by Oda Nobunaga. But when the second formation of both sides joined the battlefield, the situation began to change.

"Rush! Rush over to me! As long as you get close, those iron cannons are useless! Suzuta Saki yelled angrily. I thought that getting the position of the vanguard would establish a huge feat, but I never imagined that Nobunaga's army would directly send so many iron cannons. Now that less than half of the vanguard troops he led are left, how can he not be angry?

With the support of reinforcements, the Nobunaga army frantically launched an attack on Nobunaga's army.

"Brother, it's not okay to go on like this!" Takigawa said anxiously.

Although the first formation led by the Takigawa brothers took the lead, it relied on iron cannons, and there were not many ashigaru who really fought tough battles. And although the second team came to support, the other side also had support, and the number of people was much, much more than that of Party B.

"Steady! Believe in the Lord! Takigawa Kazuki said coldly, "If we can't stop it, then we can't live up to the trust of the lord!" Takigawa Yiyi said, and directly pulled out the sword.

"Yes!"

Looking at the situation on the field from afar, Yamada Masamura suddenly couldn't help it, "Master Jifa, I'll go on, it's not okay to fight like this!" ”

Oda Nobunaga did not answer Yamada Masamura's words, but just watched the battlefield in silence.

"Master Ji!" Yamada Masamura anxiously urged. He didn't know what Oda Nobunaga was thinking now, but he knew that if Oda Nobunaga didn't do something to deal with it, the first formation and the 2nd team would probably be eaten directly by the Shin marching army.

"Overlord Maru, what do you think is the key to this victory?" Oda Nobunaga asked suddenly.

"Huh?!" When Yamada Masamura heard this, he was speechless for a moment, but when he saw Oda Nobunaga's serious appearance, he had to answer, "The key?" Faith and walk that kid! We have fewer soldiers than them, and it must be the best to capture the thief and capture the king first~" Yamada Masamura pouted and said.

Well, this kid seems to be addicted to this trick, but it's no wonder that he can have his current status, isn't it just this trick?

It's just that, hearing Yamada Masamura's words, Oda Nobunaga shook his head, "The key to this battle is ...... there" Oda Nobunaga said, stretching out his hand and pointing in a direction ahead. Yamada Masamura looked over and found that the banner of Shibata Katsuya was erected in that place.

"Shibata Katsuie?" Seeing this, Yamada Masamura suddenly muttered suspiciously, although the Shibata Army should be the strongest combat effectiveness in the Shin Marching Army, but to say the most important thing, Yamada Masamura really doesn't believe it.

"The Victor is the number one general of the family, and his appeal is quite large, if he can defeat his troops, I believe that the morale of the enemy army will definitely drop a lot." Oda Nobunaga said softly.

"Then let's take the opportunity to kill the troops of a few big families, even if that kid still wants to fight, there is no chance of winning?" Yamada Masamura continued, finally figuring out Oda Nobunaga's thoughts.

"Well, you're right, so ......" Oda Nobunaga nodded, then looked at Yamada Masamura and said solemnly, "The success or failure of this battle depends on you!" ”

"Don't worry~ Master Ji, didn't we do a good job in the first battle before?" Yamada Masamura patted the **** and promised.

"Good!" Oda Nobunaga heard this, patted Yamada Masamura on the shoulder, and then suddenly said in a loud voice, "Yamada Masamura! Give you 400 men and give me the defeat of the Shibata army! After speaking, he leaned into Yamada Masamura's ear and whispered, "It's up to you!" ”

"Cut, don't be so serious." Yamada Masamura pursed his lips and muttered.

Well, it's really hard for him to get nervous, and in his opinion, this war is absolutely risk-free. Although he didn't know how Oda Nobunaga won this war, both in the game and in the short statement in history seem to indicate that Oda Nobunaga won this battle easily.

"How do you win it? I think it seems that the kid from Yoshiboshi yelled and then won, right? Yamada Masamura suddenly thought, then shook his head, turned his head to look at the troops that had been assembled, and shouted, "Little ones, follow me to pick up meritorious deeds~" Tsk, such a serious and tense battlefield, this kid can shout such unreliable words?

But fortunately, the 400 people transferred by Oda Nobunaga to Yamada Masamura can be regarded as the elite of these ashigaru, and they have no reaction to Yamada Masamura's attitude at all.

It's Keiji Maeda, who seems to like this kind of pit dad in Yamada Masamura, "Tsk, the lord is domineering, picking up meritorious deeds, and he completely treats the enemy as nothing~" Keiji Maeda shook his head and admired.

This kid seems to have completely become a brain-dead fan of Yamada Masamura over the years, almost no matter what Yamada Masamura says or does, he can find something that he admires and expand it infinitely.

Fortunately, Shiraki Yukihisa and Shima Sakumi were not as funny as Keiji Maeda, but they tightened the weapons in their hands and looked at the back of Yamada Masamura seriously.

"Up!" Yamada Masamura said lightly, his voice was not loud, and he might not even be able to hear it at all except for the people in the front row. But it doesn't matter, because they just need to follow Yamada Masamura's back.

"Overlord Maru, you kid must win!" Oda Nobunaga looked at Yamada Masamura, who was out of battle, and thought to himself.

Then he turned to the crowd and shouted, "Listen, everyone! This battle will be the one that will decide the fate of my Oda Nobunaga, and it will also be the one that will decide your fate! Surrender your lives to me, and let me lead you to victory! ”

"Whoa, whoa!"

"Whole army! Target the enemy army! Offensive! Oda Nobunaga swung his sword forward and rushed out.

Oda Nobuyuki Honjin.

"Huh? Nobunaga, this fool, actually attacked directly? Could it be despair? Oda Nobuyuki thought with a sneer. But suddenly his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked in another direction. There, a Nobunaga army broke away from the brigade and rushed straight in a certain direction. And when Oda Nobuyuki looked in that direction, "Are you going to defeat Shibata first?" Oda Nobuyuki muttered to himself.

"Hehe, what about a good idea~ Brother, I think the general over there is the arrogant bastard of Yamada Masamura, right? However, I don't know if he can defeat Shibatabe, but brother, aren't you underestimating your brother? Oda Nobuyuki muttered to himself.

"Pass the order, Shibata will meet that force, and the rest of the troops will attack the enemy's main position with me!" Oda Nobuyuki waved his hand and ordered.

On the battlefield, the front of Nobunaga's army, which was being suppressed, suddenly increased its morale when they saw Oda Nobunaga's main formation begin to move. The Takigawa brothers continued to command the iron artillery to shoot wildly, because they knew that after a while, the iron artillery team would be useless.

On the other side, Shibata Katsuie stood in front of the troops with a big sword in his hand, watching the troops in front of him get closer and closer, although the flag of the army was not shown, Shibata Katsuie knew very well that the person who came must be Yamada Masamura.

"Hehe, do you want to snatch my title of Owari's No. 1 fierce general so soon? However, I won't just give it to you~" Shibata Katsuya thought in his heart, and then after a while, he shouted coldly, "The whole army, attack!" ”

On the Inao Plain, the decisive battle begins to be staged, and in Cheongju Castle, an even more tragic war is coming.

After Oda Nobutoki led his army to leave Shoushan Castle, he did not play any other tricks, and the whole army of 300 people advanced rapidly towards Cheongju. In a short time, it was less than 1 mile away from Cheongju City. Shoushan Castle is too close to Cheongju Castle.

Cheongju Castle Tower.

"Madame! Madam! Big things are wrong! A maid ran up in panic and shouted.

"When was you so alarmed?" Nohime asked in a cold voice with a straight face.

If it were usual, seeing Nonghime's appearance, the maid would have been so frightened that she knelt on the ground and didn't dare to move, but now, she obviously didn't have time to pay attention to Nonghime's attitude.

"Madame! Big things are wrong! Out-of-town ...... There are a lot of troops outside the city! The maid stammered.

"What?!" When Nohime heard this, she immediately stood up and walked to the observation deck, spared a circle, and stopped in the northeast direction. "That troop is ......," Nohime frowned at what looked like a pile of black dots the size of ants.

It's just that she doesn't have time to think about it, since she can see it with the naked eye, it means that the enemy is very close to Cheongju City.

"Command me to gather all the people of the city into the square at once! Also, send someone to the warehouse and get all the weapons you can use! Nohime said quickly. After speaking, seeing that the maid was still stunned, she suddenly shouted coldly, "Go quickly!" ”

"Ah...... Be! The maid answered in a panic, and then ran out.

"Mrs. Nong, has something happened?" Yoshina's voice came from the back room, and then I saw her walk out with a worried face.

"There are enemies outside the city!" Nohime casually responded, walked to the weapon rack next to him, and grabbed the spear on it.

"Mrs. Nong?!" When Ji Nai saw Nohime's appearance, he immediately shouted in surprise.

"Lady Genai, of all the men in the city now, there are only a few servants. Do you think they can withstand hundreds of enemies? Nohime responded casually, and at the same time began to change clothes quickly. Well, the kind of kimono that I usually wear is obviously not suitable for combat.

Hearing this, Ji Nai was silent for a moment, looked at Nohime in a daze, and then walked quickly to the weapon rack and picked up another spear. "That'...... Then I'm going too! The lord's city, I will also protect it together! Jinai's voice was still trembling, but his eyes were unusually determined.

"Mrs. Genai is right, I'll go with you!" Naoko didn't know when she also walked out, "Although I don't know martial arts, I can help you carry weapons!" ”

"Hehe, this is the lord's woman~" Nonghime looked at the two girls and smiled. Then he nodded, motioned for the two girls to follow, and left the room directly.

In the square of Cheongju City, dozens of people had gathered at this time, except for those few servants, the others were all a group of women, old people, and children.

They are all family members of those retainers in the castle town. In this era, in the event of war, samurai living in castle towns would send their families to nearby castles.

Nohime walked up to these people, and most of them's expressions were full of fear, despair, and worry. But Nohime apparently didn't have any time left to comfort them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I believe you already know that the enemy is outside the city. I don't want to say anything else, and I don't have time to say it. Right now! Take up the weapons of the earth, for the sake of our lord! For the honor of your family! Defend Cheongju! ”

Silent...... There was silence...... Until the appearance of two people.

I saw Li Huamei and Da Zhu He walking out of the crowd quickly, and walked straight to Noji's body and knelt down, "Li Huamei and Da Zhu He of the Yamada family, obey Mada's orders!" ”
