"It's about 500 meters away from Imagawa Yoshimoto's position, and there are about 5,000 people in the main camp, and Imagawa Yoshimoto himself stretches out to the side of more than a dozen samurai, and it is not ruled out that there are ninjas in the dark......" Oda Yoshinobu stared at Imagawa Yoshimoto's main camp, constantly calculating in his heart.

It's just that he calculated and calculated, and he reluctantly found that it was completely impossible for him to kill Imagawa Yoshimoto in one fell swoop. Although his ninjutsu has reached its peak, after all, it is only a human skill, and it is impossible to ignore the 5,000 army that directly appears by Imagawa Yoshimoto's side.

"Alas...... Can we just wait? Oda Yoshinobu Haruka looked at the four castles that were still struggling to hold on, and sighed in his heart.

He really wanted to help if he could. He believed that with the existence of the city wall, with his strength, he could block the Imagawa army for an extra hour or two. But then what? If he was made dumplings by the crazy Imagawa army, then he would be unable to fly. Not to mention the variables caused by his meddling, which is the most serious.

Imagawa Yoshimoto died in Tsukasama because of Oda Nobunaga's surprise attack, and it happened to be raining heavily at the time of the surprise attack, and the rain stopped strangely after the surprise attack. Whether it was luck or destiny, there was no doubt that this rain was very helpful to the Oda army. Oda Yoshinobu didn't want to let Oda Jun miss the rain because of his mess, although he didn't think it would rain on a hot day like today.

When Oda Yoshinobu was squatting in the main camp of the Imagawa army, on the other side, a steady stream of information was sent to Oda Nobunaga.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, Matsudaira Motonobu had a gloomy face and stared at Marune. At this time, nearly 7 hours had passed before the battle, but they still couldn't break through the pill roots. This made Matsudaira Motonobu very annoyed and anxious.

He knew very well that the reason why the four of them came to attack these four was because they came to make meritorious contributions. This is a good idea of Imagawa Yoshimoto, because whether it is Matsudaira Motonobu or Asahina Taichao and others, they are all leaders of the younger generation. So Imagawa Yoshimoto wanted to use this opportunity to train them. By the way, it also made them show their faces in front of the old man.

It's just now......

"Bastard! What the hell is going on?! Why haven't you been able to take it down yet?! Matsudaira Motonobu asked angrily.

"My lord, the enemy's resistance is too stubborn, and he is not afraid of ......casualties at all," Nobumasa Nagasaka on the side explained helplessly. He had just been replaced, and he had been attacking for 1 or 2 hours in a row. Even if he was the strongest samurai in the Matsudaira family, he couldn't help but feel a little tired.

"What?! The enemy is not afraid of death, is my Matsudaira family boy afraid of death?! When Matsudaira Motoshin heard this, he immediately became angry.

Seeing this, Sakai Tadaji hurriedly stood up and persuaded. "The lord is angry, Nagasaka-sama didn't mean that."

"Forget it, don't say more, I'll personally lead the flag charge! This time, we must break through the pill roots! Matsudaira Motonobu interrupted Sakai Tadaji with a wave of his hand.

He understood what Nagasaka Nobumasa meant, it was nothing more than because now the Matsudaira family was in ruins, and he finally saw hope, and he couldn't bear to fight with the enemy. But they didn't know that if this battle did not satisfy Imagawa Yoshimoto, then the future of the Matsudaira family would only be even more bleak.

Although Imagawa Yoshimoto is not as capable as Oda Nobunaga. But they don't raise waste either. This is something that Matsudaira Motonobu knows very well with Yoshimoto Imagawa who has been with him for many years.

And on the opposite side of the pill root in the middle.

Sakuma held on to the broadsword and gasped, the armor on his body was covered with blood, and countless arrows were stuck in it, looking terrifying.

Outside, the Matsudaira army was still attacking frantically, or rather, their attack seemed to be more ferocious than before. Looking at the crumbling city defense, Sakuma gritted his teeth and prepared to rush forward with a broadsword to kill the enemy. As soon as I took a step, I felt a softness under my feet, and I fell to the ground.

"Your Excellency!" "Lord!"

This appearance immediately frightened the surrounding retainers and banners. They all came around, trying to help Sakuma Shengzhong up, but before they could get close, they were drunk back by Sakuma Shengzhong. "Give me all to defend the city! Be sure to hold on! Sakuma shouted solemnly and with difficulty.

"My lord! Let's withdraw! There are too many enemy troops......" one of the retainers shouted in despair.

The Matsudaira army was outnumbered by them, and not long ago, the Otakashiro troops held by the Uden chief also officially entered the war. In the distance, Imagawa Yoshimoto's army was eyeing each other. No matter how you look at it, it is impossible for this small stone to be kept.

"Hehe, I know...... But I still ask you, keep it for me! Even if you can only hold on for a moment! Keep it too! Sakuma shouted with a miserable laugh.

"Yes!" Hearing this, everyone knew that they couldn't change Sakuma's solemn decision, so they immediately turned their heads and killed the city wall.

Standing up slowly, Sakuma Sheng carried the big knife heavily, and looked helplessly at the wall that looked like a meat grinder not far away, "How come I don't know that I can't hold it?" But in order to delay the lord some more time, he must continue to persevere......"

"The foundation that the old lord worked so hard to create, and now the young lord has completed the hegemony that the old lord has never completed! How can you Imagawa bastards take it away?! Sakuma let out a loud shout and pounced on the battlefield again with his sword.

11 a.m.

In Atsuta Shrine, Oda Nobunaga is still deploying troops. Even if Imagawa Yoshimoto's main camp is led to the vicinity of the barrel Sasama as he wishes, if Atsuta can't bear it, then the Oda family will still be finished. Therefore, the defense here must be made like an iron bucket, at least, it must be able to hold out for more than 2 or 3 hours.

"Report!" A panicked voice came, Oda Nobunaga turned his head, and everyone turned their heads to look, and saw a herald running quickly. "Report! Marone, Washizu, Zensho, and Komura are lost! Sakuma Nobumori-sama was defeated and retreated to Narumi, and the rest of the people, including Sakuma Mori, were killed on the spot! ”

"What?!" Hearing this, everyone was immediately shocked, although they had already prepared the result of the loss of the four pillars and the death of the general, but when they really heard the news, they still fell into a slight panic. It's as if Sakuma's grand end is their future.

At this moment, they heard Oda Nobunaga's voice, "Mori...... Died before me......" Oda Nobunaga muttered as he looked at the sky. I don't know why, hearing Oda Nobunaga's words, my heart, which was still a little flustered, instantly calmed down.

However, Sakuma's solemn death didn't affect everyone for long, because they all understood. The Imagawa army, which has broken through the four castles, will soon rush to this side, and that will be the real decisive battle!

And Oda Nobunaga also quickly redeployed, as Sakuma Nobumori fled back to Narumi Castle. Then naturally there will be redundant troops that can be sent elsewhere. Well, from the very beginning, Oda Nobunaga had already given up on these four in his heart.

It may sound cruel, but it's troubled times, if you can't make a choice. In the end, they just don't want to perish.

At the same time as the deployment, Oda Nobunaga once again sent the ninja troops under Mori Kosei, plus a large number of heralds to reconnoiter the location of Imagawa Yoshimoto's main camp. Although Oda Yoshinobu has gone, Oda Nobunaga does not want to put all the bets on one person.

At this time, the Imagawa army had already entered Owari and continued to march towards Atsuta Jingu.

"Hehe, Yuanxin, you have done a good job, and you deserve to be the future pillars of this family!" Imagawa chuckled and praised them, not dissatisfied that they had spent a lot of time taking the castle.

But although Imagawa Yoshimoto praised them. However, Matsudaira Motonobu and others did not get complacent because of this, but continued to ask Imagawa Yoshimoto for his life, hoping to continue to fight. In this regard, Imagawa Yoshimoto naturally will not disagree.

In a forest in the distance, Oda Yoshinobu stared at Imagawa Yoshimoto, "Come~ Let's go a little further, walk a little more, and you can rest......" Oda Yoshinobu thought anxiously in his confidence.

Follow Imagawa Yoshimoto along the way, during which Oda Yoshinobu has been looking for flaws in the Imagawa army's main formation, but there is still no way. "Nima. How did the brother succeed in raiding in history? With the current situation, even if all the troops of the family are here, I'm afraid they won't be able to kill Imagawa Yoshimoto, right? Oda Yoshinobu thought helplessly.

He never imagined that someone would be able to remain so vigilant on the march. It can be said that if it weren't for Oda Yoshinobu, someone else would have been discovered at such a close distance.

"Huh?" At this moment, Oda Yoshinobu suddenly sighed and looked intently at somewhere on the other side. After a long time, he couldn't help but curse. "Shit, which idiot? He actually ran over and died! Well, because of the distance, he only saw the Oda Army flag on the other party, and he couldn't tell who the other party was.

However, Oda Yoshinobu didn't know, but Imagawa Yoshimoto knew it very well.

"Report! The enemy forces have been repulsed! Enemy generals Katsutsu Sasa and Shiro Chiaki were killed in battle! ”

"Well, got it......" Imagawa Yoshimoto waved his hand and replied flatly. Just now, he already knew the strength of the enemy army, but it was only about 300 people. Such a small number of troops could not shake Imagawa Yoshimoto's main formation at all. However, this gave him a wake-up call.

"Sneak attack...... Imagawa Yoshimoto looked up at the clear sky and whispered to himself, "Although it is impossible, it can't be prevented from ......"

As he spoke, Imagawa Yoshimoto suddenly shouted, "Mizo! ”

"In!" A flat voice came, and then a figure suddenly appeared in front of Imagawa Yoshimoto. He is the ninja leader of the Imagawa family and has served the governor of the Imagawa family for generations.

"Is there any high ground around here?"

"Back to Your Highness, not far ahead, there is a low mountain called Barrel Narrow, about 60 meters high, there is only one way up the mountain, and there are mountains and dense forests nearby, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack." Yazo obviously knew a lot about the terrain of this generation, and replied quickly.

"Very good, give the order to go down and move the main formation to Mt. Tsukasama!" Imagawa Yoshimoto nodded and immediately gave the order.

"Hehe~ Move after the plan, as long as everything is calculated, even if the heavens, demons and gods come, they can't turn the tables! Oda Nobunaga, I'm not going to give you any chance! Imagawa Yoshimoto thought to himself.

Imagawa Yoshimoto's movement was naturally watched by Oda Yoshinobu, but in this regard, he just wanted to say, "I bought a watch last year!" ”

Oda Yoshinobu dared to say that he was more familiar with the terrain than anyone else about the terrain of the barrel saga, after all, it was the site of a turning point in history, and he had already surveyed it more than once since he sensed that Imagawa might send troops.

And the Barrel Narrow Mountain, in his opinion, is the only flaw, because it is too easy to guard. Originally, Oda Yoshinobu believed that the historical Imagawa Honjin was stationed at Yamashita Mountain. After all, whether it's a game or something else, the scene of Oda Nobunaga's surprise attack is said to have rushed down from the mountain. And with the terrain of Mt. Tsubasasa, if Imagawa Yoshimoto really ran to the mountain, how did Oda Nobunaga raid? Could it be like Guo Jing in the Legend of the Condor Heroes, making a big kite and flying directly over?

Well, Oda Yoshinobu didn't understand, and he didn't have time to figure it out, and after making sure that Imagawa Yoshimoto's main camp was indeed stationed on Mt. Tsubasasa, he immediately ran in the direction of Atsuta Jingu. He didn't plan to go directly to Atsuta Shrine, because according to the previous plan, after getting the news that Marone and the other four fortresses had been breached, he would immediately lead the elite troops out of Atsuta Shrine.

After all, if he hadn't left earlier, it would have been impossible for him to leave without the Imagawa army finding out after the Imagawa army had killed him.

The troops led by Oda Nobunaga himself were about 2,000 people, and Shibata Katsuie, Sasa Narumasa, Maeda Toshiie, and others were in the ranks. It can be said that the most skilled samurai of the Oda family gathered here. From here, too, Oda Nobunaga's determination can be seen. Unsuccessful! Then you will become benevolent! There is no second option.

Oda Nobunaga led his army to march rapidly through the mountain paths, and the ninjas and heralds sent out kept giving back all kinds of news. It's a pity that no one has found out about the situation of Imagawa Yoshimoto's main camp. It's no wonder, after all, the Imagawa army is 40,000 people, which can almost be described as a mountain and a wilderness, and it is difficult to bypass them to find out the news that the Imagawa army is located in the rear.

"Damn! Hasn't that kid come back yet? Oda Nobunaga thought with a gloomy face, at this time, it was already past noon, and the Imagawa army had already engaged the troops deployed in Narumi and Atsuta, and his side had not even found out the news of the Imagawa army......

At this moment, a figure suddenly jumped down from the tree, "Lord! The enemy is in the barrel room! "It's Yoshinobu Oda. As for this sentence...... Well, he really doesn't know why, blurted out this sentence, maybe this sentence is too famous?

"Excellent! Turning defeat into victory is here! Target Barrel Sama! Let's go! Oda Nobunaga shouted.

"Oh!"
