The idea that there is strength in numbers is universal in any country at any time, especially in such a thing as war. www.biquge.info There may be many fierce generals and famous generals who have played countless battles of winning more with less, but if they were given a choice, they would definitely choose the side with more troops.

In the Art of War written by Sun Tzu, the most famous Chinese art of war, Sun Tzu wrote, "With the art of war, ten are to encircle it, five to attack it, and to divide it if it is doubled, the enemy can fight it, if it is less, it can escape, and if it is not, it can be avoided." ”

What does that mean? Quite simply, surround the enemy with ten times the enemy's strength, attack directly with five times, and try to disperse the enemy with one double. And if it is equal, you have to find a way to defeat the enemy, if there is less, you have to retreat, if there is too much, you have to avoid a decisive battle.

And now, the tactics of the Oda Army scattered into the dense forest are simply an absolute negative teaching material. They were scurrying around in the dense forest, two or three people, or a dozen or so, running frantically towards the mountain from all corners and directions. How so? They are now like bandits or robbers who have no discipline to speak of, and they have no tactics to speak of, just rushing up the hill in a chaotic manner.

It's just such a tricky tactic, but it made the Imagawa army chaotic in an instant. Why? Because almost all of the Imagawa army's defensive forces were on the mountain trails. After all, the Imagawa Army, or the samurai group of this era, was educated to attack in a dignified manner since childhood, so they would always see the two armies facing each other, and the offensive patterns of the two sides were almost exactly the same strange scenes.

And the Oda Army is not playing cards according to common sense, not to mention how uncomfortable the Imagawa Army is. In particular, after the Sichuan army was forced to follow the Oda army into the dense forest, they had no choice but to find that they could not use all the methods of battle formations that they were good at. Although there are not many enemies, there are also not many people on their side. At this time, the only thing that can be relied on is its own strength.

Well? But isn't the Oda Army usually fighting like that? Well, it's true that the previous wars of the Oda army were similar to the Imagawa army, lined up in a dense phalanx to fight a frontal battle, but in this situation where the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, it is obvious that the Oda army, which has higher morale and is more willing to fight hard, is superior.

As a result, the second and third formations of the Imagawa army were simply broken through, and the Oda army finally saw the hope of victory again.

Keiji Maeda swung his spear constantly, slashing at any enemy who dared to rush forward. "Hahaha! I, Keiji Maeda, am the second fierce general in the world in the future! You can die at my hands, but something to be proud of! He shouted excitedly, getting closer and closer to victory despite the sheer disadvantage of his forces, a situation that strongly stimulated his samurai heart.

In other words, not only him, but also Shiraki Yukihisa, Shimazo Kon, and even Maeda Toshiya and even those Ashigaru people, are also getting more and more excited. They seem to have entered a state, a state of invincibility. The enemy in front of them, as if they could not pose any threat to them at all.

Of course, this is just an illusion, but in this state, the Oda army has become more fearless of death. And the battle situation is slowly tilting towards Oda's side.

However, not all of the Oda soldiers were red-eyed, at least Oda Nobunaga, Oda Yoshinobu and Li Huamei were still very calm.

Imagawa Army's main formation.

"The surprise attack team of the Oda Army is surrounded from all sides!"

"What's going on?! What about the people in the second and third formations?! ”

"Is the Oda army scattered and rushing up from the dense forest?!"

"How ...... with such tricks"

When the people of the Sichuan army learned about the battle situation below, they were immediately stunned. Because of the geography of the barrel narrow, most of the troops of the Imagawa army were concentrated on the road up the mountain, and at this time, there were only 500 people in the main formation. Although these 500 people are almost all elite troops such as Qiben, their hearts have been completely chaotic.

From the sweep of the attack on Owari at the beginning, to the shock after the appearance of the surprise team, to the ridicule of the surprise team being blocked in front of the second formation, to the present...... They found that the enemy in their hearts, who was completely self-contained, was about to appear in front of them.

And unlike these flustered people, Imagawa Yoshimoto just indifferently looked at the enemy who was getting closer and closer to the main camp. "I've always been the best person ever since, and then I've had the best teachers to teach me. After succeeding to the governorship of the family, the Imagawa family also came to this point under my leadership. Just take down the Owari ...... It will no longer be impossible to unify this troubled world......"

"It's just ......" Imagawa Yoshimoto looked up at the sky, the dark clouds were still thick, and the rain continued to hit Imagawa Yoshimoto's face, "The heavy rain has completely cut off the connection between our troops, so that our army, which seems to be strong, can only rely on a slight advantage in strength and terrain to contend with the enemy in the end." Was it an accident? What would have been sunny weather suddenly became like this? Imagawa Yoshimoto's expression seemed a little confused.

But then, he stood up abruptly and looked straight ahead, "No! This is no accident! This is the destiny of continuous reincarnation! Just like the former power-leaning Su Ilu and Pingjiangmen, anyone who tries to change the situation in the world will be tested by the Mandate of Heaven! So...... This is something that no matter how many thousands of troops are gathered, they cannot resist...... A miracle of necessity......"

"Lord ......" Many of the retainers of the Imagawa family looked at Imagawa Yoshimoto who suddenly stood up, and under his calm gaze, inexplicably, they who had been in chaos suddenly quieted down. It's as if Imagawa Yoshimoto has some special strength, just looking at his calm expression can give them confidence and courage.

"The Test of Destiny...... Losers, such as Heishomon and others, and successful ones, such as Minamoto Yoritomo and others......" Imagawa Yoshimoto said lightly under the gaze of everyone, "So...... It is the honor of being a loser and turning into a winner...... Or become a victor and create your own history......" Imagawa Yoshimoto slowly pulled out the left text of his love knife as he spoke.

I'm afraid that most of the content of Imagawa Yoshimoto's words can't be understood by these samurai in front of them, but this does not prevent them from understanding the mood of their lord. "Victory! Create a history that belongs to our family! They shouted.

"There are still 500 banners in this formation!"

"Form a circle to meet the enemy!"

"The enemy is coming at you! As long as you hold them back, the second and third formations of friendly forces will arrive! ”

Nobutsuna Okabe, Yaena Taino, the two of them, as the old famous players of the Imagawa family, finally stood up and did what they should do.

By this time, the Oda army had already rushed to the front of the enemy's main formation.

"Rush!" Oda Nobunaga shouted, although there were still many Imagawa troops in front of the main formation, but at this time, attacking was his only choice.

Oda Nobunaga kept waving his spear, and dozens of Oda troops gathered around him at this time, including samurai and ashigaru, they were mixed together, and there was still no so-called formation. But...... It didn't matter, they were attacking frantically, swords and guns clashing, corpses falling from time to time, followers constantly popping up from everywhere. As far as the eye can see, it is like purgatory on earth.

"Smack...... ......"Finally, the fence that was temporarily built as the main camp of the Imagawa army was torn down. The Oda army rushed in frantically, and on the opposite side, 500 Imagawa army banners raised their swords and spears one after another to meet the enemy.

The purpose of both sides was clear, the Oda army wanted to kill Imagawa Yoshimoto to win the war, and the Imagawa army wanted to protect Imagawa Yoshimoto until friendly forces came to help.

"Target Yoshimoto Imagawa!"

"Protect the lord!"

Both sides kept shouting, and their faces were like evil spirits, and they frantically attacked the enemy. Even if he was slashed several times, as long as he didn't die, he still fought forward.

Oda Yoshinobu kept wielding the god-killing halberd in his hand, and one enemy after another was easily slashed by him. Behind him, there are Li Huamei, Tsuru, and Honda Tadakatsu, who met on the way. At this time, of the more than 20 Death God Cult led by Honda Tadakatsu, only 4 remained......

"Damn, these people are crazy, aren't they?" Oda Yoshinobu helplessly looked at the enemies who kept rushing from all around, and thought to himself, he couldn't figure out why this group of guys kept coming over to send them to death knowing that they were invincible?

"Lord, what now?!" Honda Tadakatsu shouted anxiously as he looked at the situation around him. His voice was full of exhaustion, and despite his talent and the teachings of Keiji Maeda, after all, he was only a 12-year-old boy. Killed all the way, if it weren't for the sacrifice of the Grim Reapers, he would have died no longer knowing how many times.

Oda Yoshinobu did not answer Honda Tadakatsu's words, but kept looking for the figure of Imagawa Yoshimoto, and he knew very well that at this time, if he rushed casually, he would only end up surrounded by heavy surrounding.

"My lord! Over there! Yoshimoto Imagawa is over there! Li Huamei suddenly shouted.

"Where?!" Hearing this, Oda Yoshinobu looked excitedly in the direction pointed by Li Huamei, and immediately, a figure appeared in his eyes.

The most standard samurai body type, although only the side face can be seen, you can still imagine how handsome the face is, with the heavy and gorgeous armor on his body and the sword with cold light...... How so? Put it in the game, you can tell by looking at the appearance that it is a famous general with an ability value of more than 90.

"Nima! That kid is Yoshimoto Imagawa?! Oda Yoshinobu was shocked, he never thought that Imagawa Yoshimoto would be like this. Although he had been following Imagawa Yoshimoto's main camp before, he couldn't see Imagawa Yoshimoto because of the distance. And in his impression, Imagawa Yoshimoto has always been an ugly and obscene image of a big fat man.

However, now is clearly not the time to think about these things, "Everyone, rush!" Oda Yoshinobu shouted, and rushed towards Imagawa Yoshimoto first. Regardless of whether Imagawa Yoshimoto's image and impression of Fu do not match, as long as he is killed, the victory of this war will belong to the Oda family. As long as this does not change, what if Imagawa Yoshimoto looks like a half-orc?

Imagawa Yoshimoto was still standing calmly on the sedan chair, the hellish battlefield around him didn't seem to affect his mood at all, and he didn't know that he was being targeted by a guy who looked like Shura. He just calmly scanned his surroundings, looking for the enemy that Destiny had chosen for him.

Suddenly, his gaze stopped somewhere, where a man was staring at him.

"Oda Nobunaga!"

"Yoshimoto Imagawa!"

Although neither of them had ever seen each other, when they looked at each other, they could instantly recognize each other even if there was no sign of recognition.

Oda Nobunaga jumped off his horse, threw away his spear and drew his sword, and rushed towards Imagawa Yoshimoto without looking back. And Imagawa Yoshimoto also jumped out of the sedan chair, ignoring the doubts of the surrounding Imagawa troops, and rushed straight towards Oda Nobunaga.

In the midst of the chaos, the eyes of the two were still firmly nailed to each other through the crowd. Oda and Imagawa's Ashigaru continued to rush towards the two, and they may or may not know the identities of the two, but they are only attracted by the armor on their bodies that is clearly different from the others.

It's just that these enemies can't stop the footsteps of the two at all, and they still continue to rush towards each other.

On the other side, "! Imagawa Yoshimoto's grandson is going to run! Be careful yourself, I'll chase after you first! Seeing Imagawa Yoshimoto suddenly disappear from his sight, Oda Yoshinobu was in a hurry, leaving such a sentence, and rushed madly in the direction that Imagawa Yoshimoto might leave.

"Lord!" Li Huamei wanted to say something, but unfortunately Oda Yoshinobu's figure had disappeared. Seeing this, Li Huamei suddenly became anxious, "Damn! In such a situation, it is still such a mess!? ”

"Okay, Huamei, at this time, you can only trust the lord. And...... With the lord's martial arts, no one in this world can hurt him. Tsuru said in a deep voice.

"Damn! That's all it can be......" Li Huamei muttered indignantly.

At this time, breaking through the crowd, Oda Nobunaga and Imagawa Yoshimoto finally came to each other. Here, it's like a hellish battlefield. The two of them are obviously big names who can exchange for countless money, high status, and large territories. But at this time, both the Oda family and the Imagawa family ignored the two of them.

The 10-meter area around the two of them inexplicably turned into an open space, as if it was separated from the killing ground 10 meters away, forming two worlds......

"Oda family governor, Oda Uesuke Nobunaga......" Oda Nobunaga stared at Imagawa Yoshimoto and said lightly.

"Imagawa Family Governor, Imagawa Jibu Daisuke Yoshimoto......" Imagawa Yoshimoto looked at Oda Nobunaga calmly, and there was no anger or excitement in his eyes.

Neither of them moved, just stared at each other silently, as if they could see some information in each other's eyes. It's just that...... This eerie scene didn't last long before it was broken.

"Imagawa Yoshimoto! Oda Yoshinobu has come to take your life! ”
