In the middle of Azuchi Castle.

A samurai with a small flag galloped up the road.

After several checkpoints and heavy inspections by guards, he was released.

After the samurai passed through the gate of the castle tower, he ran directly to the outside of the large chamber of the council.

Outside the sliding door of a layer of paper, the samurai said loudly: "Report to the lord, the lord of the northern city, Ando Hinata Mamoru, who has rebelled for the Takeda family." ”

After the samurai finished speaking, the humming of the castle tower came to an abrupt end.

Suddenly, the samurai pushed the paper door in front of him.

A samurai dressed in hunting clothes walked out from behind the door barefoot and asked, "You said that Ando Shou, but it was the other way around?" ”

This samurai recognized the other party as none other than Ikeda Tsuneko, the head of the family's Setzu Province.

The samurai immediately bowed his head and said, "Yes, Ikeda-sama, after Mamoru Ando killed Lord Shimojo, the lord of Kajita Castle of the Takeda family, Katsuyo Shima, led two thousand troops and entered the northern city. ”

Hearing this, Ikeda Hengxing couldn't help but be shocked.

He was surprised not that Mamoru Ando had rebelled, but that he was wise and Mitsuhide was like a god.

Oda Nobuo was also unconvinced, and walked out and asked, "What is the movement of the main force of the Takeda family's Hida Echichu Army?" ”

The samurai said: "Lord Huiyu, Li Xiao led the main force of the Takeda Army, and after entering Echigo Ono County, he lost his movement!" ”

Oda Nobuo said angrily: "How is it possible, how can a large army lose its trace out of thin air? ”

The samurai lowered his head and said, "Echizen, the Takeda Army's Azuma Shinobu has all been dispatched, and the Ninja has been killed by more than 20 people. As a result, information has not been able to be transmitted smoothly. ”

"Even so. It is also impossible not to have any news at all. Oda Nobuo said to himself.

But of course, no one would care about the roar of Oda Nobuo, and all the retainers present understood it in their hearts. Of course, a large army cannot be lost out of thin air, the only thing that can be explained. It was Li Xiao who led the legion into the savage mountains of Omeron.

Everything was expected by Akechi Mitsuhide.

In the middle of the great wide, the retainers of the Oda family looked at Akechi Mitsuhide, and couldn't help but say to themselves, this person is really like a god.

Back then, the other party was also a retainer under Nobunaga's account, so why didn't he realize that this person was powerful.

No wonder in the past few years, Honganji, Matsunaga family, Tantano family. All were defeated at his hands.

The Oda family was in his hands and completed the unification of.

Now Oda Nobutada also waited for Akechi Mitsuhide, and said, "Since that's the case. Mamoru Hinata. You might as well speak up. ”

Wise Mitsuhide sighed and said, "Your Majesty thinks that this time Takeda Shangluo's 100,000 army. Although the momentum is huge, they belong to the Kwantung Coalition Army, and their hearts are not aligned, such as Li Xiao and other generals, who are also self-respecting people who support the army, and they must have their own thoughts. It's not like my own family at all, and the order is the same, and we work together. ”

"Therefore, His Majesty still has the original opinion, the decisive battle is where the tacit understanding between the two sides lies, concentrate the troops, and decide the world with the Takeda family."

The words of wise light show are clear to the ear.

Burst!

I saw Oda Nobutaka suddenly throw the folding fan in his hand and throw it on the ground, Huo Ran said: "In this case, everything is according to the will of Lord Hyugamoru, and the whole army will go out to fight the Takeda family for a decisive battle!" ”

"Oh!"

The retainers of the Oda family present all mustered their best strength and said together.

Higashimino, Iwamura Castle.

In the castle tower, Hidetaka Kawajiri played with a vase in his hand.

It's not that he has this leisure, but at this moment, he suddenly thought of killing Akiyama Nobuyo on the river beach under the castle, and his wife, Mrs. Repair.

Kawajiri Hidetaka thought of the beauty, the former lord Oda Nobunaga's uncle, and suddenly moved his index finger, and when he thought of the other party so fragrant and jade, he felt pity for a while. …,

Alas, Hidetaka Kawajiri couldn't help but sigh, and suddenly remembered Oda City, where he accompanied Shibata and died in the fire with the old man in Kitanosho Castle.

He couldn't help but think in his heart that the Oda family was really beautiful, but nothing good ended well. They each died with their two husbands, which is really a disaster.

Although Kawajiri Hidetaka thought so in his heart, he still couldn't help but stick out his tongue and lick his lips when he thought of Oda City and the beauty of Mrs. Repair, and he was still physically impulsive.

And it's just at this time.

One of them hurried up to the castle tower and reported to Kawajiri Hidetakayu, "My lord, Sanada Masayuki's Ueno army has attacked Iibama Castle and seven other castles in one day. ”

"What?"

Hidetaka Kawajiri changed color slightly, but then realized that he had lost his temper in front of his subordinates, and quickly returned to his normal color.

Kawajiri Hidetaka tapped the vase with his fingers and sneered: "Sanada Masayuki seems that it is really powerful, and it really deserves to be the fox of Takeda, but this castle, I am not prepared to rely on this, how long to hold on, it's just that your advance speed exceeds my expectations." ”

At that moment, Kawajiri Hidetaka said: "It doesn't matter, shrink your forces and enter Iwamura Castle, I will defend here in danger." Resist the Takeda family's Kamirako. ”

After Kawajiri Hidetaka said this, he had a bit of the spirit of being a husband and a man.

But Hidetaka Kawajiri's spirit only lasted less than half an hour.

A samurai from Tsuru Castle (the former residence of Kawajiri Hidetaka in the eastern part of the Nobi Plain) panted and reported to Kawajiri Hidetaka, "My lord, the lord of the northern castle, Mamoru Ando, has rebelled. The main force of the Takeda family's Echichu Army has approached Kajida Castle. ”

When Kawajiri Hidetaka heard this, he froze in place, his eyes widened, and he said, "Is it really true that the foreign minister of Akechi Mitsuhide is right?" The goal of Li Xiao's army is not Azuchi City, but Nakasendo! ”

At that moment, Hidetaka Kawajiri slapped his thigh and said, "Damn! I really regret not listening to the wise words. ”

In the castle tower, several subordinates of Oda Army's Nakasendo Legion Kawajiri Hidetaka also don't know what to do.

At that moment, a person asked Hidetaka Mukaijiri and said, "In that case, Lord Hizen Mori, this army has fallen into the situation of the Takeda family's front and back attacks, how should we deal with it?" ”

Kawajiri Hidetaka's face sank, and he said, "The back road was cut off. Once the news spreads. That is, the army's spirit collapsed, and there was no choice but to retreat. ”

"Since Mamoru Ando has rebelled. As soon as Li Xiao's main force arrives again, it will be impossible for the legion to lead to the hinterland of Meinong. At present, the only way to do this is to set fire to Iwamura Castle, and the whole army has turned to Owari. ”

At this time, a general hesitated and said, "But now the Satake family, the Tokugawa family, and the Suruga Army of the Takeda family are leading an army from Tokaido to attack Owari. Didn't our army retreat to Owari also happen to encounter the enemy's westward advance? ”

Kawajiri Hidetaka snorted and said, "Stupid, are you comparable to Shibata Gonroku?" Returned from Mino. Isn't it too long? ”

September 16.

Sanada Masayuki's Ueno Army, as well as Hoshina's Minami Shinano Army, broke through the current blocking forces of the Higashimino Wealthy Army. Successfully crossed the Mino Sanhe Plateau with an average elevation of more than 500 meters.

When Sanada Masayuki arrives at Iwamura Castle. Oda Katakata Kawajiri Hidetaka had set fire to the castle town and led his army to retreat from Mino to Owari.

But when Hidetaka Kawajiri led his army to retreat. Coincidentally, he encountered the Suruga Army that entered Higashimino from Nishimikawa-Kamo County and copied the third route of the Oda family's Nakasendo Army, the Baba Nobubo.

The Takeda family's Tokaido raiders are currently the corps of Yoshishige Satake and Tokugawa Ieyasu, and the army of Sakuma and Nobumoto Mizuno stationed on the border of Owari and Mikawa, and the two sides have fought several battles. …,

Under the prestige of the oni and the bravery of the warriors of the three rivers.

Sakuma Shengji and Mizuno Nobumoto were unable to defeat each other, so they fought and retreated, constantly retreating towards the hinterland of Owari.

However, Yoshishige Satake and Tokugawa Ieyasu were worried that the intention of the two was to lure the two armies into Owari and annihilate, so they did not rashly lead the army to pursue.

However, the Baba Nobubo led the Suruga Army to silently climb the Mino Mikawa Plateau, copying the rear road of the Oda Army.

However, what Baba Nobubo didn't expect was that Kawajiri Hidetaka actually retreated from Iwamura Castle ahead of schedule, and the general retreated to Owari, giving Baba Nobubo half a way to intercept him.

It was purely an encounter between the generals of both sides.

So in the Mino Mountains, the two armies met on a narrow road, and fought head-on, which was completely unformed.

The two sides fought for half a day, when Sanada Masayuki's pursuit corps arrived from behind.

Under the attack from both sides, Kawajiri Hidetaka's army was immediately defeated, and retreated into the hinterland of Owari.

The Ueno Corps and the Suruga Corps also successfully completed the division.

Sanada Masayuki, after the two armies of the Baba Nobubo won the first victory, both armies were full of joy of victory in the first battle.

At a time when the morale of the Takeda army was high, it was rumored that the Oda family had completed the collection of Tanba, Settsu, Izumi, Kawachi, Yamashiro, Yamato, Kii, Omi, Ise, Shima, as well as Mino and Owari, a total of 12 large armies, more than 100,000 troops, entered Mino Province, and went to the area of Ogaki Castle to set up a formation.

Sanada Masayuki, the racecourse letter changed color instantly, and immediately ordered someone to quickly inform the main army of the Takeda family who was marching on the Nakasendo road about the news.

Near the left side of Ogaki Castle, the army of more than 100,000 of the Oda family is sweeping over.

Under the aqua-blue bellflower pattern, the dazzling bright yellow feather weave was covered in the armor of Wise Mitsuhide, and he rode his horse.

Wise Hide's horse caught up from behind, came to Wise Hide's side, and said, "The main formation of the main hall has arrived and cannot be broken. ”

"Very good, let's set up a formation here and wait and see the movement of the main force of the Takeda Army!"

After saying this, the array of feathers on Akechi Mitsuhide's body fluttered and moved.

Suddenly, his sharp gaze swept to a very open plain under the mountains in front of him.

Akechi Mitsuhide drew his horsewhip and pointed forward and asked, "What is the open land ahead?" ”

"This!"

Wise Xiuman shook his head, and immediately hurriedly ordered to find the map and search carefully.

"Found it!" Wise and sweaty as he looked at Wise Mitsuhide and said, "Back to the lord, it is Sekigahara ahead!" ”
