The Ghana Fortress, which was originally used to defend against the Oda Army, was now in a sea of fire. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Oda Yoshinobu looked at the Saito army who quickly rushed out of the city with a helpless expression.

Well, in the face of the charge of thousands of Saito troops, Oda Yoshinobu was very wise to coax, this can't be helped, you let the swordsman with the sword of the hundred to fight against the thousands of spear team head-on, tsk, that's simply impatient. Even if Oda Yoshinobu is strong, it would be good if he could keep himself in that situation. You must know that the charge of the pikes, and the formation of the pikes that you are going to attack, is not a concept at all, not to mention that there is a raging fire behind to speed up these Saito troops.

Oda Yoshinobu can imagine that if he really had a hole in his brain to run to stop him, he would definitely be trampled into mud by a group of Ashigaru who were rushing to flee for his life. Well, why do you seem to have heard this phrase somewhere?

"Hey, lord, they don't seem to be planning to retreat......" Keiji Maeda said curiously looking into the distance.

"Huh?" Oda Yoshinobu looked at it strangely, and the Saito army really quickly assembled again, and at the same time put up a position to guard the main road from Kana to Mt. Inaba.

"This ......" Oda Yoshinobu looked confused, he didn't know what the hell Inaba Ryotsu was doing. According to the current situation, the main forces of Saito Ryuxing and Oda Nobunaga have already left, so Inaba Ryotsu should immediately turn around and chase after Saito Ryuko's troops. After all, at this time, Shibata Katsukebu was due to the fire, and it would take a while to get around. And although Oda Yoshinobu's side can rely on martial arts to harass him, it is impossible to stop the retreat of thousands of troops.

"Yoshinobu-sama!" A rough voice came, and Oda Yoshinobu turned his head to look, but it was Shibata Katsuie running alone.

"Shibata-sama, what the hell do you think this Inaba Ryotsu is up to?" Oda Yoshinobu hurriedly asked.

"Huh?" When Shibata Katsuie heard this, he turned his head to look in the direction that Oda Yoshinobu was pointing, and he was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't expect Saito's army to stay here.

"Yoshinobu-sama, it seems that they are planning to stop us from pursuing, perhaps because they are worried that if we catch up, Saito Ryuko will not be able to retreat back to Inabayama Castle, right?" Shibata Katsuie scratched his head and said, he couldn't figure out what the hell Inaba Ryotsu was doing.

"Huh? Is that so? Oda Yoshinobu thought strangely, I don't know why, this time he sent troops to Mino, he always had a very bad feeling, and now, this feeling has not disappeared because of the defeat of the Saito army, especially when he saw the Saito army not retreat but stopped in front of him, that feeling of worry became even stronger.

"There must be quirks!" Oda Yoshinobu muttered, "First of all, the family has an absolute advantage in terms of strength, and in this case, according to common sense, the Saito family should defend the castle to resist the family, but they chose to attack at night, and they carried out the night attack when we were already prepared. ”

Oda Yoshinobu dragged his chin with one hand and kept muttering, tsk, that look, if you give him a pair of glasses, you can pretend to be a detective.

"Yoshinobu-sama, are you thinking too much? Maybe it's just that Ryuko Saito has succeeded once before, so he wants to do it again this time? Later, although he saw that his family was ready, he still wanted to fight. After all, in this kind of dark night, even if they can't succeed in the night attack, if they want to retreat, it will be difficult for their family to pursue. Shibata Katsuya said in a rough voice.

"But in this case, why did Inaba Ryotsu burn the Ghana Kiln? Why do you stay here and not leave? It's still late at night, and if they leave at night, we won't be able to catch up. Oda retorted.

After thinking about it, Oda Yoshinobu couldn't rest assured after all, after all, in history, but the defeat of the New Cana Battle, although the record is unknown, and the ambush on all sides is just a legend, but Oda Yoshinobu doesn't want to bet on any legends. And now it seems that the historical record is also very problematic, at least in his opinion, Saito Ryuxing is not as rubbish as recorded in history at all.

"In this way, Lord Shibata, I will lead the army to chase the lord, and the Saito army here will be handed over to you." Oda Yoshinobu said in a deep voice.

"Well, no problem!" Shibata Katsuya thought for a while and said.

"Well, everyone come with me!" As soon as Oda Yoshinobu made up his mind, he immediately led his army away. It's just that when his troops first started to move, the Saito army over there actually reacted, as if they wanted to keep Oda Yoshinobu here.

"Sure enough, there is a problem!" Oda Yoshishi thought confidently, and his worry became even worse, "Go around at full speed!" Ignore them! Oda Yoshinobu shouted.

"Father, Oda Yoshinobu led the troops to bypass, are we going to chase after us?" Inaba Sadatsu looked at Oda Jun who disappeared into the darkness and asked in a low voice, but although he asked, he already had the answer in his heart.

"Forget it, you can't catch up, and what if you do? With the strength of the troops under Oda Yoshinobu, it is useless to go less, and who will stop Shibata if you go more? Inaba Ryotsu shook his head and said, then looked at the Oda army who was already in formation not far away and ordered, "The whole army obeys the order, stays here, and does not allow Shibata to pass!" ”

"Oh!"

New Ghana, somewhere in the middle of a dense forest.

"Are they all hidden?" Shigeharu Takenaka whispered to the secret ninja beside him.

"Please rest assured, Lord Takenaka, the villain's subordinates have been confirmed again and again, and they will definitely not be discovered." Mi Ren said respectfully.

"Hmm......" Shigeharu Takenaka nodded when he heard this, and stopped talking. He was well aware of the identity and mission of this secret ninja, although nominally, he was sent by Saito Ryuko to assist him, and he had always done this thing. But Shigeharu Takenaka knows very well that although this secret ninja is obviously assisting him, he is afraid that he is also here to monitor himself.

After seeing the forces that Saito Ryuko secretly co-opted, Shigeharu Takenaka no longer dared to underestimate his lord, or rather, he never dared to underestimate Saito Ryuxing. Pretending to be addicted to alcohol for a year, he not only concealed the enemy, but also his own retainers, just to gain a head start in the future battle with the Oda army. "This kind of city, such scheming, is worthy of the man His Highness is optimistic about being able to inherit the pit viper's strategy."

Just thinking of this, Shigeharu Takenaka suddenly smiled bitterly, "It's just...... I'm afraid that in the future, my father-in-law will not have a good time. He knew very well how many things Ando Mamoru had done in the past year, and once this battle was won, Saito Ryuxing's prestige would definitely make most of the wealthy families in Mino choose to submit. In this way...... "Well, I just hope that my father-in-law can see the situation clearly as soon as possible and show his loyalty in advance." ”

Shigeharu Takenaka did not remind Mamoru Ando before, on the one hand, because of the surveillance of the secret ninja, and on the other hand, because of his loyalty to Saito Ryuko. Although he was arranged by Saito Ryuko's side before his death, Saito Ryuxing has also attached great importance to him over the years, even if it is not a heart-to-heart, it is almost the same.

It seems that this time, he is the only person in Saito Ryuxing's plan, and he agrees with his proposal, which not only makes Takenaka Shigeharu feel like he is a confidant is dead. So even if Saito Ryuxing arranged for the secret ninja to spy on him, it didn't make him dissatisfied, and he worked hard to make up for this operation.

"Takenaka-sama?" Just as Shigeji Takenaka was pondering, a voice woke him up, and when he turned his head to look, it was Yui Ryota, the governor of the Jing family.

"Yui-sama, what's the matter?" Shigeharu Takenaka said respectfully.

"Lord Takenaka, I want to ask, is it really okay to transfer the troops over there back?" Yui Ryota glanced at the secret shinobi and asked cautiously.

The force he was talking about was the Saito family's garrison on the border between Omi and Mino, with a total of 2,000 men. After Shigeharu Takenaka passed the order to the family governors who Saito Ryuko had confessed, he secretly brought this army over in batches.

"Don't worry, I've already talked to Endo-sama, the commander of the Asai family's troops stationed on the border, and you don't need to ask too much about the details, as long as you know that they won't take the opportunity to attack Mino." Shigeharu Takenaka said in a low voice. He didn't hide the secret ninja, in fact, he secretly went to talk to Naokyo Endo before, and he also relied on the help of this secret ninja.

"But in case the lord blames ......," Yui Ryota was obviously worried.

"Alright, there's nothing to worry about." Shigeharu Takenaka didn't seem to want to say more about this matter, and directly interrupted Yui Ryota's words.

Seeing this, Yui Liangtai didn't dare to say much, and after giving a salute, he retreated. Although he is the same as Shigeharu Takenaka, he is a lord of a territory, and even in terms of family status, he is a little higher than Shigeharu Takenaka. But as long as Ryota's mind is not confused, it can be clearly seen how big the gap between Shigeharu Takenaka and his own status is. And apparently, he is a smart man.

At this moment, the secret ninja suddenly knelt on the ground, put his ear to the ground and listened to something, and after a long time, the secret ninja stood up and said with a serious face, "Lord Takenaka, there is a large group of people approaching. ”

"Really? It seems that the lord has succeeded, and the order goes down, everyone must be hidden and wait for my signal! Shigeharu Takenaka said in a low voice, his tone was very flat, but the dead hands that were clenched revealed that he was not calm at this time. However, it is no wonder that this battle will determine whether the Saito family will continue to stalemate with the Oda family, or whether it will soon become a key battle in history.

"Yes!" The secret ninja whispered, and then disappeared in place.

Not far away, Saito Ryuko led more than 1,000 remnants of the army to desperately flee in the direction of Inabayama. "Bastard! Faster! Faster! Saito Ryuko kept shouting.

At this time, the flag representing Saito Ryuko himself had already been thrown aside, and the helmet didn't know when it had fallen off, and the whole person looked very embarrassed. Well, Saito Ryuxing miscalculated, in fact, he didn't calculate anything accurately this time.

Sneak attack, the Oda army had already taken precautions, trying to weaken the power of the retainers, but because of Oda Nobunaga's decisive counterattack, it lost the first hand, and now in order to lure the Oda army into the ambush circle, it has also become a real defeat because of the fierce pursuit of Maeda Toshiya and others.

In other words, Saito Ryuxing originally planned to learn the plot of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that he had read, and turn around from time to time to provoke twice, but later found out that he really thought too much. Just a little bit overtaken, the Saito army was almost defeated. If it weren't for Mamoru Ando, who immediately abandoned the entangled troops, I'm afraid they really wouldn't have been able to escape.

"Lord, where is the ambush site? If this continues, even if Oda's army is ambushed, we will not have the troops to fight back. Mamoru Ando asked anxiously in a low voice.

Hawkers, if he hadn't noticed Saito Ryuxing's back hand until now, then he would have vainly claimed to be the wisdom of the three of Mino. It's just that he never thought that the ambush circle would be so far, and he hadn't even arrived after running so far.

"It's coming, it's coming!" Saito Ryuxing didn't bother to quarrel with Mamoru Ando, and kept looking at the terrain while perfunctory. Unfortunately, it was still dark at this time, and he couldn't see too far away.

"I gave full authority to your good son-in-law about the ambush, he, you can always trust it, right?!"

"The lord is serious, and his subordinates are just worried." When Mamoru Ando heard this, he hurriedly said.

At this moment, a scream sounded again from the rear, and Saito Ryuxing turned his head to look, but it was the Oda Army that caught up again.

"Give me chase! Be sure to catch that guy Ryuko Saito! Maeda Toshiya kept scanning the Saito army in front of him with red eyes, as if he was determining the location of Saito Ryuxing.

In order to catch up with Saito Ryuxing, he abandoned the ashigaru who couldn't keep up, and he couldn't even take care of the head and weapons. And such as Sasa Narumasa and Niwa Nagahide, they are also the same. If nothing else, it's just to catch Saito Ryuxing and show his face in front of the lord and retainers.

Oda Yoshinobu and them became Oda Nobunaga's retainers at the same time, but now, Oda Yoshinobu has replaced Shibata Katsuya as the number one general in the family, and even married Oda Nobunaga's sister and became a member of the Oda family. Although the Maeda Toshiya family was not jealous of Oda Yoshinobu because of this, in their hearts, they also hoped that they could make great achievements and not let them be forgotten by the ministers in the family.

Therefore, they bit the tail of the Saito army like a mad dog, so that the Saito army had no way to get too far away.

"These crazy people!" Saito Ryuxing watched the back formation being bitten again, and immediately scolded secretly. Then he took out the map and looked at it again, "Bastard half-guard, where the hell did he set up an ambush?" It should be around here now! ”

It's a pity that Saito Ryuxing's complaints are useless, and in the face of the crazy pursuit of the Oda army, the only thing he can do now is to keep running away. (To be continued.) )
