Chapter 175: The Monkey Has Made a Meritorious Service
No one could have imagined that the two sides, which should have been a fierce battle, would end up so dramatically. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Saito Ryuxing didn't expect it, Oda Nobunaga didn't expect it either, and Kinoshita Hideyoshi, to be honest, he is still full of confusion.
When the sneak attack, this kid rushed faster than anyone else, but when the war ended, he stood there stupidly and looked at a loss. I don't know if he didn't expect the enemy's main formation to be overridden by him like this, or because of other reasons.
"Monkey!" A loud shout rang in Kinoshita Hideyoshi's ears, and it immediately pulled him from his state of confusion to reality. There was hardly any game, Kinoshita Hideyoshi knelt down abruptly, and bowed down to the sound of the voice, "Lord! The monkey didn't come here on purpose, but he really heard that the lord was in trouble, and he was excited for a while, so he ......"
Kinoshita Hideyoshi kept explaining the reason why he threw away Sumamata Castle and came here, and he didn't know where he had been thrown by him for a long time because he had talked and laughed with Wasuka Koroku and others. Fortunately, Wasuka Koroku didn't know if they were greedy for merit or didn't want to face Oda Nobunaga, so they kept chasing Saito Ryuxing. Otherwise, if this appearance is seen by them, maybe Kinoshita Hideyoshi's glorious image in the hearts of Wasuka Koroku and others will be completely gone.
Oda Nobunaga just looked down at Kinoshita Hideyoshi, and his silence made Kinoshita Hideyoshi even more panicked, "Smack! With a bang, Kinoshita Hideyoshi directly protected Oda Nobunaga's thighs, and kept crying and begging for mercy with a handful of snot and tears. If you don't know, how do you look at that look, it seems that Oda Nobunaga is going to cut him, right?
"Fuck off! You dead monkey! Oda Nobunaga kicked Kinoshita Hideyoshi away angrily, and when he saw him crawling towards him quickly, a big tic-tac-toe suddenly appeared on Oda Nobunaga's forehead. Shut up! Stand up! What does it look like to cry and cry?! Oda Nobunaga roared.
"Yes......" Kinoshita Hideyoshi heard this, so he had to stand up reluctantly, and waited for Oda Nobunaga's sentence with his head down and a sad face.
Seeing this, Oda Nobunaga suddenly sighed helplessly, he couldn't figure out how a vicious battle was ended by Kinoshita Hideyoshi, who looked greedy for life and afraid of death, and it was almost effortless.
"Tell me, why did you suddenly come here? How's the construction of the Sumamata side? Oda Nobunaga asked angrily.
"Yes!" Kinoshita Hideyoshi wiped his face indiscriminately, and he didn't know if it was sweat, tears, or mud, which made his already ugly face even more difficult to look at. But fortunately, the only student in the Oda family who only looks at his appearance is not here, otherwise Kinoshita Hideyoshi may have to be beaten again.
"Lord, is this the ......" Kinoshita Hideyoshi quickly recounted what happened, of course, he naturally could not say that he ran here because he was greedy for merit, but because he was worried about Oda Nobunaga's safety...... In short, in Kinoshita Hideyoshi's mouth, he is the good retainer who is not afraid of life and death and is dedicated to savior!
Regarding Kinoshita Hideyoshi's statement, Oda Nobunaga naturally couldn't believe it all, but in any case, because Kinoshita Hideyoshi did this, it is a fact that the Oda army directly defeated the Saito army. So he didn't bother to investigate why Kinoshita Hideyoshi came here, after all, he was a consequentialist.
"Excellent! Monkey, you've done a great job this time, I'll remember it! Now go back and continue to build the Sumamata for me, and I won't treat you badly!" Oda Nobunaga nodded and said loudly.
"Thank you, lord!" Kinoshita Hideyoshi shouted excitedly.
"Well, go ahead."
When Kinoshita Hideyoshi heard this, he retreated and left, but because Wasuka Koroku and the others didn't know where to go, he could only return to Sumamata alone. It's just that as soon as I came back, I saw that Wasuka Koroku and the others were already resting over there.
"Little Liu, didn't you go to chase Saito Ryuxing? How did it end up here? Kinoshita Hideyoshi asked in surprise.
"Ahem...... Lord, that Saito Ryuxing ran too fast, and after his subordinates chased him after him, he came back directly......" Bee Suka Koroku coughed dryly twice and said, he wouldn't tell Kinoshita Hideyoshi that he ran back first because he was afraid of Oda Nobunaga.
To be honest, in the entire Oda family, Koroku Beesuka is not afraid of anyone, but Oda Nobunaga and Oda Yoshinobu. Hawkers, mainly because these two were too famous back then, and on the other hand, these two were also famous for their moodiness. For a normal person like Wasuka Koroku, he is obviously very bottomless in the face of this kind of person, otherwise he would not have served Kinoshita Hideyoshi as the main one. Well, it seems that the truth was inadvertently told?
Well, Kinoshita Hideyoshi didn't guess what Koroku Wasuka thought, and now he was still intoxicated by the promise that Oda Nobunaga had just given him. It's a pity that although he really wants to start work immediately, but now, after a day's work and half a day of fighting, Wasuka Koroku and them are already exhausted.
Thinking about it carefully, if Saito Ryuxing had a little bit of courage to resist for a while at that time, the fate of Kinoshita Hideyoshi's ragtag army is estimated to be miserable.
"Rest well, everyone, today we have been exposed, tomorrow we must speed up!" After speaking, Kinoshita Hideyoshi turned his head to look at Kinoshita Koichiro, and said with some apologies, "Koichiro, work hard for you again, be on guard tonight, and we will come down for you tomorrow." ”
"Don't worry, my subordinates understand." Kinoshita Koichiro said with a chuckle.
On the other side, Oda Nobunaga did not pursue Saito Ryuxing, after all, it was too dark, Saito Ryuxing really wanted to run, and in this case, he couldn't catch up at all. And strictly speaking, Saito Ryuxing was completely scared away, and the entire Saito army did not suffer much loss. So Oda Nobunaga ordered someone to clean up the battlefield and then ordered a rest.
Well, but before the break, Oda Nobunaga didn't forget to send someone to inform Oda Yoshinobu. However, there was no need to inform anything, because Oda Yoshinobu had already sensed that something was wrong.
"What's going on? Why did the Saito Army run back? Oda Yoshinobu looked at Saito Jun who was approaching with a strange expression and asked in a low voice.
"Was it defeated by His Highness? Looking at them like this, it looks like a defeat. The island on the side whispered.
Before the Saito army approached, the heavy and panicked footsteps had already been noticed by Oda Yoshinobu and others, and they immediately disappeared into the darkness. In this regard, Mamoru Ando did not pursue, because pursuing an enemy with strong force like Yoshinobu Oda in the dark is obviously not in line with Mamoru Ando's personality of preserving strength. And he is also very concerned about this unit, which has no idea where it came from.
It's just that he never imagined that the troops ushered in turned out to be his own troops, and it seemed that he had just experienced a defeat.
"Liangtong, what's going on?!" Mamoru Ando ran out of the city as quickly as he could, and asked Akidi Inaba, who was standing at the front, in a loud voice.
"Alas, don't mention it, we attacked the Oda army at night and saw that we were going to succeed, but I don't know where a Oda army appeared, and it broke through the main camp of our own family at once." Inaba Ryotsu said indignantly.
There was no way for him not to be angry, you must know that although Oda Nobunaga organized a counterattack, strictly speaking, the wind on the battlefield was still in favor of the Saito army. But when it was about to suppress the Oda army, the main camp was inexplicably on fire, and then a burst of screams were heard, all shouting that Saito Ryuko had fled. As a result, Inaba Ryotsu didn't have time to distinguish between serious and fake, so he was taken away by the scattered friendly forces.
"The Oda Army that suddenly appeared?! Impossible! Yoshinobu Oda has been dragged here by me all along! Mamoru Ando said equally inexplicably. The Oda Army, which suddenly appeared, and had the strength to break through the main formation of the Saito Army, seemed to be the only force of Oda Yoshinobu in Ando's opinion. Obviously, this is not the case.
"Who the hell knows who?!" Inaba Ryotsu said angrily, he was really holding his breath in this battle, and Saito Ryuxing's attitude also made him very dissatisfied.
In this regard, Mamoru Ando was not angry, but turned his head to look at the family Naoyuan. It's a pity that he shook his head helplessly, obviously not knowing what the situation was.
However, he was obviously much calmer than Inaba Ryotsu, and gently pulled Ando Mamoru to a secret place, and said in a serious whisper, "Shou Shou, in this night attack, the lord sent Nagai Michitoshi's retainer to serve as the main general. I think the lord may be ......"
"I know......," Mamoru Ando interrupted Naomoto, "but things may not be as bad as we thought. After all, if the lord can really take charge of himself, we should also hand back those rights. Mamoru Ando said in a low voice, but although his tone was calm, his face was not so good-looking. After all, who is willing to give back the rights they have in their hands? If all the retainers thought so, there would be no Warring States turmoil.
"Where's the lord?" Seeing the noncommittal appearance of the family, Mamoru Ando didn't think that he would really believe it, so he quickly changed the topic.
"I don't know, we saw a fire in this formation, and then a group of people shouted that the lord had fled, and then the whole army broke up directly." The family Naoyuan said this, with the same helpless look, this battle was completely inexplicable.
"In this way, the lord should have returned to Inabayama Castle directly......" Ando Mamoru heard this, thinking in his heart, but this result made him shudder a little. You must know that if Saito Ryuko wants to escape, there is no doubt that Jujo Castle is the best choice.
He shook his head with a wry smile, "Alas, it seems that we must be prepared~" Mamoru Ando thought, and then stood up and arranged for the defeated troops.
"Lord, what should I do?" Keiji Maeda asked in a whisper.
Because there were more and more Saito troops coming to Shijo Castle, Oda Yoshinobu and others had to retreat again and again, and in the end they could only watch the fire on the side of Shijo Castle from a distance, and they couldn't know the specific situation there.
"Hmm...... It seems that the Saito army has failed. Let's go back, there's nothing we can do here. Oda Yoshinobu thought for a moment and said.
Although there were defeated troops in front of him, there were still thousands of them, and Oda Yoshinobu didn't think that he could eat them all with just a hundred people.
"But ......," Oda Yoshinobu said, a lewd smile on his face. When Keiji Maeda and the others saw it, they knew that someone was going to be unlucky again.
Outside the fourteen-jo castle, after a night of fighting and fleeing, the Saito army could no longer hold on to its tired body, so they found an open space at random and began to rest. At a glance, the horizontal body covered the ground, and those who didn't know thought that they had walked to the battlefield where the battle had just ended.
"Kill!" Suddenly, a shout of killing came from the darkness of the night.
"The enemy is coming!" The Saito Army, which seemed to be asleep just now, jumped up when they heard the sound, but they didn't line up to meet the enemy, but ran frantically around, no matter how the samurai of the Saito family stopped, it was useless until Mamoru Ando and others heard the sound and rushed with the troops, and these guys who had lost their minds were shocked.
"Hehe, let's go~" Oda Yoshinobu said with a smile. With that, he led the Reaper to the direction where Oda Nobunaga was, and as for how Ando Mamoru was thundering over there, it didn't matter what he did.
The place where Oda Nobunaga is is not difficult to find, after all, such a large army, and there are torches everywhere, in the dark night, I really don't want to say it too conspicuously.
"I'm back~" Oda Nobunaga was not surprised by Oda Yoshinobu's appearance, after all, the Saito army had run away, and Oda Yoshinobu couldn't stay stupidly at Shijo Castle.
"Well, what's going on? The Saito army was defeated? Oda Yoshinobu asked casually as he sat in front of Oda Nobunaga.
"Well, but you can't imagine how he was defeated." Oda Nobunaga smiled with a strange expression.
"Huh? It can't be your boy who defeated them, right? When Oda Yoshinobu heard this, he immediately asked with a disbelieving expression, and all of a sudden, Oda Nobunaga's pretentious expression could not be maintained.
"It's a monkey! I can't think of it! Oda Nobunaga said angrily, and then explained.
"Ha~ I didn't expect this monkey to be quite good at seizing the opportunity~" Oda Yoshinobu said with a laugh.
"yes, I have to say, this monkey is really good, I'm going to promote him." Oda Nobunaga said with a sigh. In other words, he did not forget that Oda Yoshinobu did not seem to deal with Kinoshita Hideyoshi.
"Whatever~ I'm not a stingy person." Oda Yoshinobu naturally heard the meaning of Oda Nobunaga's words, shrugged his shoulders and said with an indifferent look.
"Cut, aren't you kid stingy?" Oda Nobunaga scolded with a smile and gave Oda Yoshinobu a look of disdain.
This night, many people are destined to have no intention of sleeping. Oda Nobunaga, who reflected on himself, Saito Ryuko who was angry, and Kinoshita Hideyoshi, who was so excited that he couldn't sleep......
Of course, our heartless protagonist Yoshinobu Oda shouldn't sleep too sweetly~
