Chapter 229: Night Attack

Regarding the fact that Okazaki Castle was not captured during the day, although Sakai Tadashi and others were a little dissatisfied, they did not pay much attention to it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 After all, it's only the first day, and they have already seen the possibility of Okazaki Castle being breached, and most importantly, none of their troops have been on it!

So after the army was collected, Sakai Tadashi and others held a banquet very carelessly, and selected dozens of girls with good looks from the chaos to help the fun. The noise and laughter kept coming from the main formation of the army, where was the slightest sense of urgency in wartime?

But they can't be blamed for this, after all, the Matsudaira family is such an enemy, and now it doesn't seem to be worth mentioning at all. And the rumored reinforcements of the Oda family, just before nightfall, Sakai Tadashi had already received the news that the Oda family was confronting the Saito family. In this way, how could the troops under Oda Yoshinobu that were only 1 or 2,000 people be taken into account by them?

Even if Oda Yoshinobu is brave and brave, but now here, there are nearly 40,000 troops! If you can't fight alone, can't you beat it in groups? Sakai Tadashi and others don't believe that more than 40,000 people can't beat 2,000 people!

Therefore, they had no scruples, even if Honda Masanobu, the future wise man who was later called "my friend" by Tokugawa Ieyasu, although he was a little worried, he did not pay much attention to it.

Holding a wine glass, Honda Masanobu looked at the people around him who were having a good time, and his eyes were full of fire. "Sooner or later, I, Masanobu Honda, will become a powerful samurai!" Honda swore secretly in faith.

In other words, the reason why he came to participate in the festival this time was that in addition to his faith, he felt that his career in the Matsudaira family had come to an end, although he was a retainer of Okubo Tadashi, but he was just an insignificant low-ranking samurai. So after hearing about the outbreak of the Gang Yiyi, he immediately left Okubo Tadashi, gathered the rebels who had no chance of being organized, and rushed to Okazaki Castle.

As he expected, when he led more than 4,000 people to Okazaki, although he still did not receive much attention, he was considered to have entered the small circle of the ruling class in Mikawa. And now, he is still waiting, waiting for this opportunity, he believes that as long as he can seize that opportunity, then he Honda Masanobu will officially become the samurai of the noble clan of Mikawa no longer just think about it.

Just as he was thinking about the happy place, a soft voice suddenly came, "Zhengxin, what do you want?" Thinking so much about it? ”

Honda Masanobu looked up sharply when he heard this, only to see Sora Okushi standing in front of him with a wine glass. His face was ruddy, and the two girls beside him who were quite good-looking supported him, and it seemed that he had drunk a lot.

Belch...... By the way, the monks of this era are very different from the monks of China, and the monks of many sects have not quit drinking and flesh, and the most famous is probably the Honganji Temple, which has always been a sect, and the presiding officer of each generation is a large number of ladies and sons.

"Master of the Empty Oath!" Honda Masanobu hurriedly stood up and said respectfully, "I was just thinking that as long as I captured Okazaki, then the entire Mikawa would be able to live happily under the influence of the Honzong, so I couldn't help but smile." ”

"Haha~ I believe that you are really a devout disciple of this sect~" Empty Oath laughed when he heard this, and then said with a sigh, "Alas, it's a pity that you aspire to be a samurai, otherwise you will definitely become an excellent monk!" ”

It's not that he deliberately wants to praise Honda Masanobu, because Honda Masanobu had brought 4,000 people before, which made Sora Oath very curious, especially after learning that Honda Masanobu was just a low-ranking samurai under the command of a wealthy samurai. And in the subsequent conversation, he found that although Honda Masanobu was not highly educated, he was quite wise, and most of the samurai of Mikawa were reckless men who only focused on martial arts, which made the empty oath look at Honda Masanobu with a different eye.

"The master is wrong." Honda Masanobu laughed when he heard this.

Honda Masanobu and Sora Oath were talking and laughing here, attracting countless jealous eyes. That's the empty oath of the presiding officer of the temple! But the main driving force behind the horror that has always been caused today! Talking and laughing with a low-ranking samurai who came out of nowhere?

And Sakai Tadashi and the others looked at Honda Masanobu with a slightly different gaze, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

The banquet lasted until the end of the day, and the drunken Sakai Tadashi casually ordered the security and went to rest.

By then, most of the people in the army had already fallen asleep, and only a few poor rebels had been pushed out to take charge of the guard. Unfortunately, they didn't pay any attention to it, just yawning and chatting casually. Obviously, they didn't think that there would be any enemy sneak attack at all. And this is also the opportunity for Yoshinobu Oda.

A place where Yoshinobu Oda rests.

"My lord, according to the observation of his subordinates, the enemy's guard is not very tight, if our army sneaks up at this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to react in a short time." Keiji Maeda said in a low voice.

"Well, that's good." Oda Yoshinobu nodded, the news couldn't be better for him. But the good news doesn't end there.

"My lord, there is another thing, when my subordinates were inquiring, I heard those people in charge of security say that the enemy army seems to have held a banquet before." Keiji Maeda said again.

"Oh?" When Oda Yoshinobu heard this, he immediately showed a surprised expression, and then laughed loudly, "They are really confident, but this is just right, it seems that in this battle, our army will win!" ”

"My lord, don't underestimate the enemy." When Li Huamei heard this, she hurriedly reminded.

"Rest assured, how can I underestimate the enemy? No matter how careless the enemy is, there are still 40,000 troops. Oda Yoshinobu chuckled, and pinched Li Huamei's face without hesitation, which immediately provoked a burst of laughter and scolding from Li Huamei.

Hawkers, although this kind of thing seems a bit Meng Lang, it also makes everyone's mood less nervous. Although it was a sneak attack, after all, they were going to storm the enemy's main formation with a full 40,000 army. Even if it doesn't show it, as long as you think about it, you can know how nervous everyone is at this time.

Oda Yoshinobu looked at the army base lightly, and he didn't know how long it took, Li Huamei's voice sounded in his ears, "Lord, the ugly time has come." ”

"Oh? So fast, huh? Oda Yoshinobu muttered in some surprise when he heard this, then turned around and looked at everyone lightly and said, "Everyone, success or failure is here, although the number of enemy troops is 20 times that of our army, but you must remember!" Your general, I'm Yoshinobu Oda! The strongest samurai in the world! ”

When everyone heard this, they didn't speak, but their eyes became more determined, especially Keiji Maeda and the others and the Grim Reaper, that look may have to be described as fanatical worship, right?

"Let's go!" Oda Yoshinobu said this lightly, and then rushed out in the direction of the Ichijo army headquarters with the god-killing halberd. And Keiji Maeda and the others also hurriedly followed quietly.

At this time, inside Okazaki Castle.

"My lord, the time has come, are we ......" Sakai Tadaji walked to Matsudaira Ieyasu's side and whispered.

"No, wait a little longer, and when Oda-sama's side moves, it's not too late for us to attack." Matsudaira Ieyasu shook his head and said.

Although he had made an appointment with Oda Yoshinobu, Matsudaira Ieyasu really didn't dare to act first, otherwise, if something went wrong, he wouldn't even have a chance to regret it.

After saying that, Matsudaira Ieyasu turned his head to look at the troops that had been assembled not far away, their faces visibly full of exhaustion. Although they have been allowed to rest as much as possible, after such a tragic city battle during the day, how much can they recover after such a short period of rest?

"Alas...... I don't know how many loyal and brave soldiers of this family will be left after tonight......" Matsudaira Ieyasu sighed.

"As long as you can help your family achieve the final victory, your subordinates will never give up!" Sakai Tadaji said respectfully when he heard this.

"Victory......" Matsudaira Ieyasu muttered to himself, staring blankly in the direction of the enemy forces outside the city, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this moment, a commotion suddenly reached Matsudaira Ieyasu's ears, and he immediately became excited, and turned his head to follow the sound, only to find that there were only countless torches there.

"Tadaji! Did Oda-sama act?! Did Oda-sama act?! Matsudaira Ieyasu asked excitedly. No matter how calm Matsudaira Ieyasu was before, at this time, he still couldn't calm his mood. Because the survival of the Matsudaira family depends on today's battle. Once he loses, I'm afraid Matsudaira Ieyasu won't even have a chance to escape to Owari.

Hearing Matsudaira Ieyasu's words, or not caring what Matsudaira Ieyasu said at all, when they heard the commotion coming from the enemy army, Sakai Tadaji, Hattori Hanzo, and all the soldiers of the Matsudaira family had already looked over there, and their emotions were equally excited, but they didn't dare to make any sound.

"Everyone!" At this time, Matsudaira Ieyasu's voice was still a little excited. Everyone looked back, only to find that Matsudaira Ieyasu had slowly walked down from the high platform.

The little surname on the side took his beloved horse over, turned over and got on the horse, Matsudaira Ieyasu carried a spear, and in the growing noise, said in a firm tone, "Kaejo!" ”

In the darkness of the night, he couldn't tell if the commotion was the result of Oda Yoshinobu's attack, but he knew that if he wanted to win, without Oda Nobunaga's reinforcements, now was the only chance. After the day's battle in the city, he already deeply understood that according to the onslaught of the enemy's intensity, Okazaki Castle might not be able to hold it for even three days.

Without the slightest hesitation, Ashigaru, who had been guarding the side of the city gate, immediately opened the gate, Matsudaira Ieyasu held the spear in his hand, looked at the countless fires that were constantly flickering in front of him, and suddenly stretched the spear in his hand forward, "Attack!" The survival of the Matsudaira family depends on this battle!! ”

"Oh!" The soldiers of the Matsudaira family shouted loudly, and after Matsudaira Ieyasu, they rushed out of the city and launched an attack on the enemy.

On the other hand, when Oda Yoshinobu led his army into the enemy with lightning speed, the Ichijang army did not react at all. Even not far away, a person in charge of security wiped his eyes, as if he thought he was dreaming. It wasn't until Oda Yoshinobu led his army to quickly advance a full 50 meters that he reacted, but by this time, it was too late.

"Leave no one else! There is only one goal! The enemy is in this position! Oda Yoshinobu shouted, "Fernand! You must remember the direction and don't let us go astray! Huamei, cranes! You two must follow me! ”

The Oda army continued to rush forward, and at this time, the outermost group of rebels was awakened by the noise, and they opened their eyes in a daze to follow the sound, only to see a group of fierce people constantly rushing in the direction of their own headquarters.

"What's going on?!" Countless people have such an idea in their minds, maybe in their minds, there is no possibility of being attacked at all?

At this moment, a piercing scream rang out, "Enemy attack!" Enemy attack! At this time, they finally reacted, raised their weapons and prepared to go up to block them, but when the troops blocking in front of the Oda army were instantly defeated, they panicked again.

At this moment, a burst of exclamations sounded again in the direction of Okazaki Castle, "Enemy attack!" This time completely made the army explode. Countless rebels ran around like headless flies, and occasionally those who had the courage to stand in front of the enemy were mercilessly killed. This situation made them panic even more. For a time, the Oda Army and the Matsudaira Army were like no one in the midst of the 40,000 troops.

"What's going on?!" Sakai Tadashi, who was resting in the middle of the camp, was awakened by the noise, and suddenly turned over and sat up and shouted angrily.

"My lord! Oh no! Oda Yoshinobu led the army to sneak attack! At the same time, the Matsudaira army in Okazaki Castle also went out of the city to attack our army! A retainer from Tadashi Sakai rushed in and shouted in panic.

"What?!" When Sakai Tadashi heard this, he stood up in shock, and was about to say something, when several people broke in, but it was empty oath and others.

"Lord Sakai, the enemy is attacking at night! Someone must be sent to stop it immediately! As soon as the empty oath came in, he ordered directly.

"Hmmm! Hurry up and call all the adults to come and deliberate! Also, go to the front and command the group of believers! Sakai Tadashi immediately said when he heard this.

It didn't take long for everyone to gather, but when Sakai Tadashi offered to send someone to stop the enemy army, everyone kept their heads down and remained silent.

"Bastard! At such a time, do you still want to retain your strength?! If our army is defeated, which of you will be better?! Seeing this, Sakai Tadashi immediately scolded.

At this time, a person suddenly broke in, but it was Honda Masanobu, "Oh no! Oda Yoshinobu is leading his army to attack our army's main camp! ”

"What?!" (To be continued.) )
