In the far river, in a wilderness outside the city of Kakegawa, under a white moonlight, Matsudaira Ieyasu led his troops to retreat frantically to the rear. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Behind him, the Takeda Army, which numbered nearly 20,000, was followed by Nobubo Baba and Masatyo Naito.

"Bastard, why are these two guys chasing so hard?! Do you really think I'm afraid they won't succeed?! Matsudaira Ieyasu cursed angrily, but he didn't mean to turn around to fight. Perhaps, he is really not afraid of Baba Nobubo and Naito Masato, but it doesn't mean that he is not afraid of Takeda Shingen, even if he is not afraid of Takeda Shingen, is he not afraid of the 30,000 troops under Takeda Shingen?

However, speaking of which, Matsudaira Ieyasu was not sure whether Takeda Shingen was leading his army to pursue Imagawa Shin or coming to his side, but he didn't want to and didn't dare to bet. After all, Enoe is the real territory of the Imagawa clan and it is not his Matsudaira Ieyasu, although he came to support, Matsudaira Ieyasu didn't want to waste the Matsudaira family's family here.

"Humph! It's not like I deliberately retreated, it's really that bastard of the Imagawa clan who doesn't give it a try! When the lord or my father-in-law comes, I must report it well! Matsudaira Ieyasu kept thinking in pieces.

But at this moment, Hattori Hanzo suddenly appeared beside him, "Lord! "Soon after the retreat began, Matsudaira Ieyasu ordered Hattori Hanzo to investigate the specific situation of Takatenjin Castle, although the facts have been decided, but how can we find out the situation?

Moreover, Matsudaira Ieyasu also hoped to get some information from Imagawa Shingen's side about Takeda Shingen's side, as well as the remaining troops of Imagawa Shingen, and then ask if he wanted to ask for reinforcements. Well, at this time, he didn't know that the Imagawa clan had asked Oda Nobunaga for help.

"How? How's it going? Where did this kid Imagawa retreat to? Matsudaira Ieyasu asked casually.

In his thoughts, the Imagawa clan at this time must have retreated to Mafuzuka Castle, so his destination was Zao Castle not far from Mafuzuka Castle, and with the short distance between the two cities, he could completely resist a wave of attacks from the Takeda family.

Just hearing Matsudaira Ieyasu's words, Hattori Hanzo was silent, "What's going on?!" Matsudaira Ieyasu had a very bad premonition when he saw this, because Hattori Hanzo rarely had such a situation, and the last time was when the army of Muzong surrounded Okazaki.

"Could it be that the Imagawa clan has really surrendered to the Takeda family?" Matsudaira Ieyasu couldn't help but doubt, but in an instant, he threw this thought out of his mind, because if the Imagawa clan really subdued the Takeda family, then what happened to the fire of the High Heavenly God City? Is it to tell him about the Racecourse Nobu?

It's just that Hattori Hanzo's answer almost made him fall off his horse, "Imagawa-sama, along with important ministers such as Asahina Taichao and 13,000 soldiers, all died in battle!" ”

"What did you say?!" Matsudaira Ieyasu looked at Hattori Hanzo in shock, if the person in front of him was not a ninja who had served him since he was a child, Matsudaira Ieyasu would definitely pull out a sword and cut him down now.

"Imagawa-sama, along with important ministers such as Asahina Taichao and 13,000 soldiers, all died in battle!" Hattori Hanzo repeated that he was not the slightest surprise at Matsudaira Ieyasu's shock, and in fact he couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the shocking scene of Takatenjin Castle.

"How is this possible?!" Matsudaira Ieyasu's voice raised again, and in his opinion, it was simply impossible. 13,000 people! Not 1300 people! How could they all be dead?! And the Imagawa clan really died in the battle of the High Heavenly God Castle? Not to run away and be killed, not to commit suicide by seppuku, but to die in battle! It's impossible to get Hattori Hanzo wrong with this kind of wording.

And Matsudaira Ieyasu's voice immediately attracted the attention of Sakai Tadaji beside him, and after hearing Hattori Hanzo's words, even Sakai Tadaji, who has always been known for his calmness and stability, couldn't help but be stunned. But then he said quickly, "Lord, since this is the case, the family can't retreat to the royal city, where the city is not enough to resist the army of the Takeda family!" ”

Hearing this, Matsudaira Ieyasu also immediately came back to his senses and immediately responded, "Yes, immediately send the order down and turn to Yinma City!" ”

Matsudaira Ieyasu was a generation of heroes after all, and although he was shocked by the real death of the Imagawa clan, he quickly came back to his senses and made a decision.

Matsudaira Ieyasu quickly retreated to Yinma Castle, and after chasing the racecourse for a long time, he suddenly gave up the pursuit. There was no way, the sky was too dark, and they were not familiar with the terrain of Yuanjiang, so it would be too dangerous in the eyes of Machang Xinfang and others to chase after them like this.

A day later.

Matsudaira Ieyasu led his army to Primuma Castle, and immediately saw the Takeda Army still attacking Primuma Castle. Hawkers, although he was pressed by the Baba Shinbo in Kakegawa Castle and couldn't get out, but in the face of the Takeda army in front of him, which was only a thousand people, how could Matsudaira Ieyasu let it go? Especially at this time, he was also on fire because of the pursuit of the Baba Nobubo and the death of the Imagawa clan.

Seeing this, Ichichi Shinryu and Anayama Shinjun, who were generals, almost did not hesitate, and directly led the army to evacuate from the sea. After all, they were just the Oda army that had come to contain Enoe, and now, although they didn't know why such a large Oda army suddenly appeared, it was clear that they were definitely not opponents.

"Damn, you're running fast enough!" Matsudaira Ieyasu cursed as he watched Takeda Gun, who had boarded the ship and quickly left the shore. It was only at this moment that a fleet of about ten ships suddenly appeared in his field of vision. "It's my father's navy!" Matsudaira Ieyasu shouted in surprise when he saw this.

There is hardly any need for any identification, because the whole of Japan, with more than 10 Nanban ships, and the fleet that will appear here, will not be anyone else except Oda Yoshinobu's navy.

And at this time, the Uden Changzhao of Yinma City also led the army out of the city, "Lord Matsudaira! Uden Nagasho looked at Matsudaira Ieyasu with some confusion, obviously not understanding why he was here. Soon, however, his gaze shifted to the surface of the sea, because at this time, the fleet had already exchanged hands with the Takeda family's navy.

In fact, Uden Nagasho really wanted to ask why Matsudaira Ieyasu appeared here, after all, Matsudaira Ieyasu was defending Kakegawa Castle, how could he appear here for no reason? It's just that the constant roar on the surface of the sea stuck his words in his throat, it was the sound of artillery, a large number of artillery shots.

Under the shocked gaze of Uden Nagasho and Matsudaira Ieyasu, the Suruga naval army, which consisted of dozens of Sekibunes, Kozai, and an Ataka boat, was defeated in this continuous artillery fire almost instantly.

"Retreat! Fast! Fast! Ichichi Shinryu and Anayama Shinjun shouted with hideous expressions, they hadn't seen the artillery of the High Heavenly God City, but even if they didn't know what it was, they could clearly understand that this thing could kill them.

In fact, even if they didn't give the order, Itami Yasunao had already ordered to retreat immediately, although he was also a veteran who had been crisscrossing the sea for more than ten years, but how could he have ever seen such a powerful weapon? You must know that naval warfare in this era is only limited to a few long-range weapons such as iron cannons, rockets, and baking.

However, strictly speaking, Itami Yasunao is not unfamiliar with the artillery of the Nanban, after all, the Nanban has almost traveled all over Japan, and the navy is naturally no stranger to this powerful weapon on their ship. He even wanted to get a few studies for a long time. It's a pity that those southern barbarians either protected the artillery tightly, or they paid a very high price.

In less than a moment, the Takeda family's sailors had disappeared at the end of the sea, and the original fleet of dozens of ships had less than 10 left before they disappeared. And the Oda Navy, on the other hand, did not lose the slightest. Yes, the panicked Itami Kang straightened them, and they didn't even have the courage to fight back with iron cannons or bows and arrows.

But they can't be blamed, after all, compared to cannons, whether it's iron cannons or bows and arrows, the range is too low and too low.

In the face of the fleeing Takeda navy, Shimazuo did not order a pursuit, although if they pursued, with the speed of their light Galen ship, they would definitely be able to annihilate the Takeda navy here. The reason why this is so is because Shimazuo saw the banner of the Matsudaira family closely, and according to the intelligence, Matsudaira Ieyasu should be defending at Kakegawa Castle at this time.

"Looks like things aren't going well......" Shima ordered the ship to dock with a heavy heart.

"Island-sama!"

Matsudaira Ieyasu and Uden Nagasho saw the person coming and hurriedly said, although Shimazuo is a retainer of Oda Yoshinobu, according to his status, he should be on the same level as Udana Nagasho, lower than Matsudaira Ieyasu. However, because Oda Yoshinobu's status in the Oda family is too special, many people will unconsciously use honorifics when they see Oda Yoshinobu's important ministers.

"Matsudaira-sama, Uden-sama!" Shimazuo bowed respectfully, and then immediately looked at Matsudaira Ieyasu and asked, "Matsudaira-sama, why are you here?" Is it ......?"

As Shimazuo approached, Uden Nagasho also turned his head to look at Matsudaira Ieyasu, his expression full of hope, as if he hoped to get the answer he wanted from Matsudaira Ieyasu's mouth.

It's just a pity that in the face of the two of them, Matsudaira Ieyasu shook his head silently, "The Takatenjin City is lost, and Lord Imagawa, along with 13,000 Imagawa family soldiers, are all ......"

"What's wrong with all of them?! Did you escape?! Definitely! They must have withdrawn, right? The Urinjeon Changzhao suddenly exclaimed, "Yes! The lord must be being pursued by that bastard Takeda Shingen at this time, so he hasn't arrived here yet. As he spoke, the chief pelican turned around and walked towards the city, muttering as he went, "No, I have to go to the support of the lord immediately......"

"Udo-sama! Imagawa-sama and 13,000 generals were all killed in the battle of Takatenjin Castle! Matsudaira Ieyasu looked at the Uden Nagasho's state as if he had lost his soul, and shouted in a lost voice.
