Chapter 247: Striking the West

On November 25th, the cool breeze blew and made people feel refreshed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Father, there's Nagashino Castle ahead. According to the investigation, the defenders of the castle numbered about 4,000 people, many of whom were forcibly looted by Yoshiaki Kira from the surrounding territories. Matsudaira Ieyasu pointed to the castle not far ahead.

"Is that Nagashino Castle?" Oda Yoshinobu looked at the castle he was going to, and couldn't help but think of the battle that would take place here in the future that would determine the fate of the Takeda family. But after thinking about it for a while, Oda Yoshinobu came back to his senses, after all, for him now, the joint battle that may occur in the future is far less important than the upcoming joint battle now. Not to mention that although the battle was very crucial to the Takeda family, for the Oda family, it was far inferior to the previous tripartite war.

Looking intently at Nagashino Castle, this Nagashino Castle has been renovated by Yoshiaki Kira very strongly, although it is not a rare fortified castle in the world, but it seems to be much better than Okazaki Castle.

"Hehe, Yoshiaki Kira wants to die himself, so we don't need to be polite, let's just act according to the plan." Oda Yoshinobu said with a sneer.

Hearing this, Matsudaira Ieyasu looked at Oda Yoshinobu with some hesitation, and after thinking about it for a while, he couldn't help but say, "Father, do you believe that Kondo Yasushi uses them so much?" In case ......"

"Ieyasu, I don't believe that Kondo Yasu uses them, I believe in Fernand's vision, since he said that there is no problem, then there must be no problem!" Oda Yoshinobu interrupted Matsudaira Ieyasu's words and said in a flat tone. And this sentence also made Fernand behind him excited. No matter when, no matter what country people are, trust will always produce different emotions in people's hearts.

"I see, the child is abrupt......" Matsudaira Ieyasu said quickly, and at the same time cast an apologetic look at Fernand. Then, he drew his sword and swung it forward, shouting, "Attack!" ”

"Attack!"

As the order was given, the soldiers of the Matsudaira Army slowly advanced towards Nagashino Castle. And inside Nagashino Castle, Yoshiaki Kira stood on a high platform and looked at the enemy who was getting closer and closer, and cold sweat involuntarily flowed down. No matter how confident Yoshiaki Kira was before, he couldn't help but be nervous when he really had to face this enemy that swept across the entire Mikawa.

"Kill!" A shout sounded, and then the entire Matsudaira army instantly erupted with a huge shouting and killing sound, and rushed towards Nagashino Castle quickly.

"Hold on! You must keep it for me! Yoshiaki Kira kept shouting, his eyes fixed on the main formation of the Oride coalition army in the distance, where the flag representing the Oda family fluttered, indicating that the army was not out of battle.

"Oda Yoshinobu is so rampant!" Kira Yoshiaki thought indignantly, he felt that he was being deeply underestimated. Attacking a city with 2,000 troops with 4,000 troops, and even planning to save energy? How does this not keep Yoshiaki Kira from being angry?

However, in the blink of an eye, he hoped that Oda Yoshinobu's troops would stay in the main formation and not come out, although they had not seen the combat effectiveness of this Oda army, but the shadow of the famous tree, since Oda Yoshinobu was able to break into such a big reputation in Mikawa, he must have real ability.

Tsk, this kid's courage is really a little small, and he was directly frightened by Oda Yoshinobu's fame, if Oda Yoshinobu knew, I don't know how proud he would be. However, perhaps Oda Yoshinobu will not be complacent, because he does not take Kira Yoshiaki, an unknown guy in history, in his eyes at all. Not to mention that his only goal in front of him is not Nagashinojo.

"Duanzang, Chiyonu, Hanzo, it's up to the three of you......" Oda Yoshinobu said lightly.

"Yes!" The three of them knelt on the ground and answered, and then disappeared into the formation.

Oda Yoshinobu's idea was simple, that is, to use the siege to attract Yoshiaki Kira's attention, and take the opportunity to send ninjas to rescue the mother and son of Naotora Ii. Isn't it a fairly straightforward plan? Well? Why can't Yoshinobu Oda? Ahem, such a trivial thing, how could Oda Yoshinobu do it as the number one samurai in the world in the future?

In the midst of the city war, time slipped away easily, and soon the sky gradually darkened, and according to common sense, it was time to take a truce and go back to their homes to eat and sleep. But apparently, for some purpose, Oda Yoshinobu did not intend to withdraw so simply.

"Near Zuo, you lead the Iron Artillery Team over to suppress it." Oda Yoshinobu said casually.

"Yes!"

Shimazuo responded closely, and left with the iron artillery team. Not long after, a huge iron cannon sounded under Nagashino Castle. A full 500 iron cannons burst out with tremendous power under the tactics of three stage strikes, and the continuous loud noises almost suppressed the shouts and killings on the battlefield. But more importantly, under the threat of iron cannons, the Kira army had to hide behind the city walls.

"Is that an iron cannon? Sure enough, it's a terrifying weapon......" Yoshiaki Kira couldn't help but sigh as he watched the troops on the city wall be suppressed and couldn't even lift their heads. However, he didn't pay much attention to it, because under this level of iron artillery attack, the enemy army could not attack the city wall, and could only keep ramming the city gate.

I don't know how long it took, but the deafening sound of iron cannons finally died down, but in its place was the Matsudaira army, which rushed up again after resting.

"Bastard! Don't these people feel tired? Kira Yoshiaki roared angrily, but he could only arrange for the second team to go up to the city wall to replace those exhausted troops.

Tired? There is no doubt that after all, besieging a city is much more tiring than defending it. But the Matsudaira family troops who attacked Nagashino Castle were those traitors who had just surrendered. In order to repay the lord who forgave their sins, in order to make up for his previous mistakes, and to be able to gain a firm foothold in Mikawa in the future. They had to attack desperately, because the slightest hesitation could bring ruin to their family.

In this way, I don't know how long it took, but it was completely dark.

"Hmm...... It's almost, come back......" Oda Yoshinobu nodded at Matsudaira Ieyasu, seeing this, Matsudaira Ieyasu finally breathed a sigh of relief and immediately ordered a retreat. Although those people were vassals, they were also his retainers now, and he didn't want them to lose too much in such a war.

Finally hearing the order to retreat, the Matsudaira army, which was almost exhausted, immediately withdrew to its own position. Seeing this, Yoshiaki Kira, who had been standing on the high platform and observing the battle, finally breathed a sigh of relief. "These crazy people, but they finally survived the first day." He thought to himself as he walked down the platform towards his mansion. Now he just wants to take a good rest.

"Ieyasu, let the troops have a good rest, and when the time comes, let Keiji and them go first." Oda Yoshinobu said casually.

"Yes!" Matsudaira Ieyasu replied in a deep voice.

At that time, the exhausted Kira Yoshiaki had already fallen into a deep sleep, and suddenly, a rush of footsteps sounded outside, and then the frightened voice of the little surname sounded, "Lord! Lord! The enemy is attacking again! ”

"What?!" Yoshiaki Kira was awakened by the voice of the little surname, and sat up abruptly when he heard the words, "These bastards! Kira Yoshiaki gritted his teeth and cursed, and at the same time, he didn't have time to put on his armor, so he rushed out directly in a nightgown and carrying a knife.

It's just that when he came to the high platform, he saw that countless torches outside the city were slowly receding. "What the hell is going on?!" Yoshiaki Kira shouted angrily.

"My lord, when my subordinates were patrolling, they suddenly saw the enemy leading an attack, but they only fought with iron cannons for a while before retreating...... one of the retainers hurriedly said.

"These bastards!" Yoshiaki Kira cursed secretly, and then returned to the house again to get ready to rest, he was really tired. Although he did not participate in the battle at the end of the day, his nervousness made him very, very eager to rest. However, this is obviously not possible.

Before Yoshiaki Kira got into the mattress, there was another earth-shattering shout outside, and this time without the notification of the surname, Yoshiaki Kira rushed out again.

Standing on the high platform again, Yoshiaki Kira immediately became nervous when he saw the banner of the enemy army, "Are the Oda Army a group of rats who can only attack at night?!" Yoshiaki Kira roared angrily, but he could only continue to command the battle. But this time, the offensive of the Oda army was obviously stronger than the offensive of the Matsudaira army during the day, because Maeda Keiji and the others had been hungry and thirsty for a long, long time.

"Quick! Pull the troops over! Stop them for me! Yoshiaki Kira shouted anxiously as he watched the enemy soldiers who kept climbing up the walls trying to climb the walls.

This battle lasted until the time of the child, when the Oda army slowly retreated. When the Oda army retreated, Yoshiaki Kira sat down directly on the high platform, and he really had no strength.

"Lord, my subordinates will send you back to rest." A retainer whispered.

"Forget it, I'm right here, who knows if those bastards will attack again?" Yoshiaki Kira waved his hand and rejected the retainer's offer.

And as he said, when all the Kira troops were about to lose their eyes, the Matsudaira army killed again. "Block! Be sure to block it! Who dares to take a step back! No mercy! Yoshiaki Kira looked at the approaching Matsudaira Army with red eyes, and shouted a little hoarsely.

At this time, Kato Duanzo, who had been lurking in a dark place outside Nagashino Castle for a long time, looked at Hattori Hanzou and Chiyo Mochizuki beside him, and nodded slightly.

Then they quickly took out the hook and threw it on, and after a few moments of probing, they quickly tumbled into the city, and in the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the darkness.

A secret room in Nagashino Castle.

Ii Naoto's hands and feet were tied to death with thick ropes, and his clothes were disheveled and hung under the beams. Her expression looked tired, and from the exposed skin, it was clear that she had been tortured a lot these days. But at this time, she just quietly looked at Hu Song, who was lying on the bed not far away, sleeping on the bed, and her eyes were full of tenderness.

"Tiger Song, in the future, you must become an excellent samurai and take on the important task of reviving your family!" Naohu Ii thought secretly in his heart. As long as Hu Song can grow up safely, then everything that happens to her is worth it. Until now, she can't forget the helplessness of his father Naomori Ii for being a daughter, and the last words of her nominal husband Naoshi Ii when he was killed by the Imagawa clan.

The fate of a family is carried by a woman, which sounds so ridiculous and pathetic, but in this troubled world, this is the most helpless reality. Imagawa Shouguini, Yura Teruko and even the previous Hojo Masako had to go from behind the scenes to the front for their own family, and with their own thin shoulders, they carried the entire family.

Suddenly, a small voice reached her ears, "Is it the Jingyi family's superintendent Jingyi Naohu?" ”

"Huh? Who is it? People from the Oda family? Jing Yi asked softly, his expression without joy or sadness.

As she answered, a figure suddenly appeared in the room, it was Chiyo Mochizuki. "Yes, I am a ninja under the command of Oda Yoshinobu of the Oda family, and I came here this time to rescue you."

Hearing Chiyo Mochizuki's words, Ii Naotora didn't react, just nodded, and then glanced at the sleeping tiger pine over there.

"Kato-sama." Seeing this, Chiyo Mochizuki shouted softly, and then the figures of the two appeared in the room.

"Is that the kid?" Kato Duanzo glanced down at the sleeping Tiger Pine and muttered, when they came, they had already known the goal this time, so naturally they would not be surprised.

Quickly cut the rope on the body of Ii Naoto, and Kato Duanzo also carefully hugged the tiger pine into his arms. Although I don't know why Oda Yoshinobu repeatedly emphasized that neither mother nor son should be missing, but for him, Oda Yoshinobu's orders are all there is.

When they left the room, they saw Hattori Hanzo, who was on guard outside, nodding at them, and then the three of them disappeared into the night again with the mother and son of Ii Naoto. At this time, there was still a shout of killing outside.

The main formation of the Weaving German coalition army.

"My lord, the man has been brought." When the three of Kato Danzo appeared in the main camp, Oda Yoshinobu was smoking a cigar boringly.

"Very well, Ieyasu." Oda Yoshinobu said lightly, and Matsudaira Ieyasu on the side immediately gave the order to retreat.

After the order was issued, Matsudaira Ieyasu, Kato Duanzo and others left tacitly, and took Tiger Pine away by the way. In this regard, although Jing Yi Naohu was reluctant, she also understood that the life and death of their mother and son were all in the hands of the man in front of her at this time, but she did not resist.

And on the other side.

"Huh? Retreated? Yoshiaki Kira looked at the enemy troops who were receding like a tide, blinked and muttered suspiciously, as if he hadn't reacted yet. It's just that after he reacted, he didn't dare to relax his vigilance, and sat directly on the high platform to rest. There was no way, he was already scared by the enemy. Tsk, what would he think if he knew that Oda Yoshinobu was just looking for an opportunity to rescue Ii Naotora mother and son?
