"My lord, there is Kariya Castle ahead. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" said Fernand, pointing not far ahead.

"Well, everyone work harder, and you can have a good rest when you get to Kariya City!" Yoshinobu Oda shouted. After setting out from Nakono Castle, Oda Yoshinobu led his army on a hurried journey, and finally entered the territory of Mikawa before nightfall. However, it was clear that they were already tired and it was simply impossible to continue their journey to the Three Rivers.

"Lord, please allow your subordinates to go to Kariya City first to avoid misunderstandings." Fernande suddenly stepped forward and said respectfully.

"Well, that's right, go ahead." Oda Yoshinobu nodded when he heard this, and then after Fernande left, he turned his head to Hattori Hanzo and said, "Hanzo, you should also meet Okazaki first, just say that I have led reinforcements here, let Ieyasu must hold Okazaki!" ”

"Yes!" Hattori Hanzo replied respectfully. Although I was a little helpless that the Oda family only came with such a few reinforcements, after all, it was indeed reinforcements, and Oda Nobunaga didn't say no to send them, but he was just restrained by Saito Ryuxing. So in his heart, there is still some hope, "as long as you can hold on to the reinforcements of His Royal Highness Oda......"

Well, from beginning to end, Hattori Hanzo didn't think that just a small force like Oda Yoshinobu would be able to suppress Mikawa's Ichi. Or rather, no one believes it except Oda Yoshinobu. Well? Does Oda Yoshinobu believe it? Hawkers, there is a little bit of confidence~ After all, Asakura Zongdi has really defeated a total of 300,000 people with more than 10,000 people. If that old man can do it, can't Oda Yoshinobu do it? He didn't believe it anyway.

When Oda Yoshinobu led his army slowly to Kariya Castle, Mizuno Nobumoto was already waiting at the city gate.

"Oda-sama! You're finally here! I wonder when His Highness Oda's reinforcements will arrive? As soon as Mizuno Nobumoto opened his mouth, he directly asked Oda Nobunaga for reinforcements, obviously he didn't think that Oda Yoshinobu was all the reinforcements.

Speaking of which, Mizuno Nobumoto was almost scared to pee after learning that he had a long time outbreaking. Fortunately, the mob or the rebellious samurai are currently focusing on the castle of the Matsudaira family, although there are also kittens or two passing by Kariya Castle, but they also leave directly.

But even so, it made Mizuno Nobumoto panic all day long, unable to eat, sit still, and get into the case in fear at the slightest disturbance.

"Hehe, elder brother's reinforcements? Mizuno-sama, it's a pity that the reinforcements that my family came to Mikawa were the only ones I brought below. The Saito family sent 10,000 troops and made a gesture of attacking Owari, so the elder brother could only sit in Cheongju and guard against the Saito army. Yoshinobu Oda chuckled.

"Huh?!" Mizuno Nobugen was stunned when he heard this, he couldn't have imagined that the reinforcements were only such a small number of people brought by Oda Yoshinobu. However, when Oda Yoshinobu walked directly past him and walked towards the city, he finally came to his senses, "Eh, you can just come!" You're here! As long as Oda-sama makes a move, what has always been suppressed in less than two days? ”

Mizuno Nobugen kept patting Oda Yoshinobu's ass, not that he suddenly thought that Oda Yoshinobu could suppress the usual slap, but he suddenly thought of the relationship between Oda Yoshinobu and Oda Nobunaga. As long as Oda Yoshinobu is here, won't Oda Nobunaga really send reinforcements? Apparently impossible.

Entering Kariya Castle, Oda Yoshinobu asked the troops to rest on the spot, and Mizuno Nobumoto was very sensible and ordered someone to bring food. A meeting was held in Mizuno Nobumoto's mansion.

"Mizuno-sama, you know better than us in Mikawa, what is the current situation?" asked Oda Yoshinobu as soon as he sat down. Maybe he has always had a little confidence in the suppression, but he has no clue how to do it, so he can only collect information first and see if he can come up with any solutions.

"I'm really sorry, I don't know much about the rebels." Mizuno Nobugen shook his head and said helplessly, and then seemed to be afraid that Oda Yoshinobu would blame, so he hurriedly said, "Oda-sama doesn't know, at this time, the territory of Mikawa is full of mobs or rebellious samurai from the Ichiza sect, and it is really difficult to find out some information. ”

After speaking, he paused and said again, "In the lower territory alone, there are more than 100 people in rebellion, fortunately, the lower response is fast, and the city gate is closed in time, otherwise I am afraid that it will ......."

"Huh? There are rebels in Kariya Castle as well? Oda Yoshinobu asked curiously when he heard this.

"Yes...... Mizuno Nobumoto sighed, "In Mikawa, because of the poverty, believers in religions such as the Ichishu sect are almost everywhere. The poorer the place, the more and more fanatical believers become. Compared to other places, it's good to be here......"

"Oh......" Oda Yoshinobu replied, and then asked with a serious face, "And how are they fighting?" ”

This is the most important concern of Oda Yoshinobu, who has only heard of it from the game and rumors. In the game, there is basically nothing difficult to beat except for annoying. But in this day and age, he didn't know how many times he had heard about the horrors of the past. After all, listening to it is just a story, and what you see with your own eyes is the truth.

Hearing this, Mizuno Nobumoto shook his head helplessly and said, "I'm sorry, but those rebellious mobs in the territory hesitated for a moment after seeing the gates of the city closed, so I don't know what their combat effectiveness is." ”

After speaking, seeing that Oda Yoshinobu frowned, as if he was very dissatisfied with his answer, Mizuno Nobumoto hurriedly said again, "But according to the following, the combat effectiveness of those mobs is not very high. ”

"Huh? How so? ”

"Because among those mobs, there are many old people, children and women, and they don't seem to have much fighting. And most of them didn't even have regular weapons, hoes, sickles, and the like were taken out. Less than 1 in 10 people are truly fully equipped. Mizuno Nobumoto said as he recalled.

"That's right......" Oda Yoshinobu nodded when he heard this, which was quite consistent with his impression of the past.

"My lord, if it's really as Mizuno-sama said, then there is no need to fear those mobs at all! Even if there are tens of thousands of them, they will not be our opponents! Keiji Maeda said confidently when he heard Mizuno Nobumoto's words. This is not Maeda Keiji's bragging, with the strength of the Death Gods, if it is just to deal with these mobs who are old, weak, sick and have no spears and bows and arrows, it will not be too easy. And what about the 500 iron artillery team?

"It's not that simple!" Bai Mu Xingjiu on the side didn't care and splashed Maeda Keiji's cold water, "Lord! His subordinates used to travel the world with their masters, and they had seen the scene of a riot in Echigo. Although their combat effectiveness is indeed very poor, they are not afraid of death, as long as they do not die, they will continue to attack frantically......"

"I'll ...... Is it so scary? When Keiji Maeda heard this, he shouted in disbelief, but his expression became solemn. Obviously, he already believed Shiraki Yuki's words.

It's just that Keiji Maeda believed it, but Oda Yoshinobu didn't, "Fierce and not afraid of death? Hehe, if these guys were really so afraid of death, I'm afraid that the monks of Honganji would have unified the world long ago. Moreover, will there be so many people in this world who are not afraid of death? ”

Seeing that everyone did not speak, Oda Yoshinobu said to himself, "Samurai are not afraid of death because they care more about honor and their own beliefs than death. Perhaps, those believers who are fanatical about their faith are not afraid of death, but are these mobs really so fanatical about that ethereal faith? ”

Oda Yoshinobu's words made everyone ponder, and after half a sound, Li Huamei suddenly asked, "What does the lord mean that in fact, most of the mob only have to become believers because they live in poverty, and this time they followed the riot just to take the opportunity to grab money and food?" ”

Li Huamei's words made everyone's eyes light up instantly, if it was just like this, then those mobs would not be as terrible as they imagined.

It's just that, hearing Li Huamei's words, Oda Yoshinobu chuckled and shook his head, "Otherwise, maybe there are people who plan to take advantage of the opportunity to rob, there are people who fight for their beliefs, and there are even people who are full of hatred for the Matsudaira family, but I think most of them are just people who follow the crowd in order to avoid being hurt......"

Oda Yoshinobu said lightly, in his previous life, he had seen countless similar things, when there are many people acting together, no matter what they are doing, it is easy to infect the people around who are not involved to participate. The simplest thing is that when the World Cup comes, the whole world is football fans, but in fact, most people don't even know how many teams are participating. The reason why this is the case is just that I am influenced by the people around me.

"Go with the flow?" Everyone muttered a little confused, obviously unable to understand Oda Yoshinobu's words. However, Oda Yoshinobu did not have the idea of explanation, and after figuring out the true combat strength of the enemy, the only thing he needed to consider was the rebellious samurai and the people of the pro-Imagawa faction. In his opinion, those people are the most troublesome guys.

Unlike the unorganized and undisciplined enemies who had no plan at all other than the general goal of the Matsudaira family, the rebellious samurai and pro-Imagawa factions had a very clear purpose, and they were all battle-hardened people.

This kind of enemy is what Oda Yoshinobu finds the most troublesome. What worries him even more is that once these people are in command, the combat effectiveness of those mobs will increase exponentially. And he didn't know anything about it.

Thinking of this, Oda Yoshishi sighed helplessly in confidence, "It's really painful that this Nima doesn't have a ninja army, after this time, we must find a way to recruit a few powerful ninjas!" ”

I don't know how long it has been, but everyone still hasn't come up with a good solution. After all, the current situation is chaotic and unclear, and the composition of the enemy is uneven. It is obviously impossible to think of a solution in a short period of time. Helpless, Oda Yoshinobu could only let everyone go down to rest.

Late at night, Oda Yoshinobu was still sitting in the corridor looking at the bright moon in the sky in a daze.

"Lord, are you still trying to figure out a way?" Li Huamei's gentle voice came from behind her.

"Yes, although I have always said that it is not a matter of concern, after all, they are outnumbered, and there are also the rebellious samurai of the Matsudaira family, and those wealthy families who have always sided with the Imagawa family. This kind of enemy is not something that more than 1,000 of us can defeat casually. Oda Yoshinobu sighed.

"Does the lord really want to defeat the enemy with only the troops he has?" Li Huamei looked at Oda Yoshinobu a little helplessly. In her opinion, going to Okazaki and Matsudaira Ieyasu to defend Okazaki to the death, or uniting with Mizuno Nobugen to fight guerrillas around, indirectly relieve Okazaki's pressure, and wait for Oda Nobunaga's reinforcements is the easiest and reasonable choice.

"Hehe, why not?" Oda Yoshinobu hugged Li Huamei in his arms and chuckled, "In the past, Asakura Zongdi defeated 300,000 with 10,000 Asakura troops in the Nine-Headed Dragon River, since he can do it, there is no reason why I can't do it." And our enemies are not as many as 300,000......"

"But they have a large army of samurai! They're not like the mobs! Li Huamei looked at Oda Yoshinobu and said solemnly. She didn't want Oda Yoshinobu to mess around, and if she was surrounded by enemies, it would not be easy to escape.

"That's why I have to think of a way~" Oda Yoshinobu smiled, and then after seeing Li Huamei's worried expression, he smiled and kissed her lips, "Don't worry, if there is no too good way, I won't take the risk." ”

Hearing this, although Li Huamei was still not at ease, she couldn't say anything more, so she could only emphasize that she must not risk Yunyun, and was taken back to the room by Oda Yoshinobu.

Meanwhile, after dodging countless enemies, Hattori Hanzo finally returns to Okazaki Castle.

"What?! The Oda family can't send reinforcements over?! Matsudaira Ieyasu asked in horror.

"Yes! The Saito family sent 10,000 troops and made a gesture of attacking Owari. Therefore, His Royal Highness Oda did not dare to act rashly, and only sent Oda Yoshinobu to lead 1,300 troops to support, and at this time he had already arrived at Kariya Castle. Hattori Hanzo said in a deep voice.

"1,300 people...... If you add the maximum mobilization of Kariya Castle, there should be more than 3,000 people. Hondo on the side said in a deep voice.

"There are not so many, and it is a blessing to remove the troops who defend the city, because they have always been unable to mobilize, and 2,000 people! It's impossible for Mizuno Nobugen to promise to fully support his family. Sakai Tadaji shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Well, what then? Although Yoshinobu is a warrior, he can face tens of thousands of untouchables and those rebellious bastards......" Matsudaira Ieyasu sighed and cursed.

"I'm afraid I'll have to defend Okazaki, but with the help of Yoshinobu-sama, I believe the family will be able to hold on for a while. As long as His Highness Oda can come to support in time......" Sakai Tadaji said in a deep voice. It's just his expression, but he still doesn't look relaxed.

After all, until Oda Nobunaga leads the army to support, how long will it last? If it's too late, even if reinforcements come, the enemy will be suppressed, I'm afraid Mikawa will be in ruins, right?
