In the midst of the pouring rain, countless Saito and Oda armies scuffled together, although the heavy rain and muddy water blurred their eyes. The www.biquge.info kept shouting, even under the torrential rain, their voices could not reach more than 1 meter away. They constantly brandished their weapons and frantically attacked the enemy in front of them. And in the Yumata River,

"Tsk, that Katsuya guy, you're really considerate......" Oda Yoshinobu squatted on the tree and looked at the chaotic battlefield below with a lewd smile on his face, and then jumped down. At this time, under the tree, the Grim Reaper were quietly hiding in the shadows.

They did not follow Shibata Katsuie to attack the Saito army head-on, because with the strength and characteristics of the Grim Reaper, a frontal attack was too wasteful and very inappropriate.

"Lord, are we going up now?" Keiji Maeda leaned over and asked in a whisper, he couldn't wait. In other words, Shiraki Yukihisa, Shimazo Kon, Honda Tadashi defeated them, and the entire Grim Reaper couldn't wait to fight.

It's not that these guys are bloodthirsty or anything, it's just that in this day and age, as a samurai, you will never be satisfied with feats. And merit is now the easiest to obtain on the battlefield.

"Well, get ready to do it!" Oda Yoshinobu did not object, because he knew very well that once all the Saito troops were ashore, it would not be something that could be done in a short time if they wanted to drive them back, even if Oda Nobunaga's army was behind him.

"Die!" Hibino Kiyomi shouted, and the spear in his hand slammed into the body of an enemy. "Nagai-sama! How much longer?! Hibino Kiyomi ignored the enemy, instead turning his head and yelling at Nagai.

"It's coming! Just hold on for about 1 quarter of an hour! In addition, someone has been sent to ask the lord for help! Nagai Guards also yelled.

"Then ...... What is that?! Hibino Kiyomi was about to say something, but suddenly saw a dark shadow in the corner of his eye. Shocked, he turned his head to see a group of troops in pitch-black armor rushing towards him. In the blink of an eye, they had already broken into the second party's formation, and the weak defensive force on the flank was like a piece of tissue paper in front of this group of people, and it would break through with a single stab.

"Yoshinobu Oda!!" Hibino Kiyomi stared at the samurai who rushed to the front, muttering indignantly. Yes, he recognized Yoshinobu Oda at a glance, because this kid is so easy to recognize. How so? Maybe this kid is the only one who will appear on the battlefield in a white samurai costume all day? Not to mention that he also holds a sword in one hand and a strange weapon in the other.

Yes, Oda Yoshinobu still looks like he is looking for death, but under the strong opposition of the women, he still wears inner armor, although he is very reluctant. Because in his opinion, any famous general must have his own unique shape. It's a pity that in the face of the unanimous demands of all the women, the only thing he can do is compromise.

The sword and halberd danced wildly, and any enemy who dared to stand in front of Oda Yoshinobu could not escape a single word of death. Coupled with Keiji Maeda and others, the Grim Reaper killed Hibino Kiyomi with an unstoppable attitude.

Seeing that Oda Yoshinobu was getting closer and closer to him, Hibino Kiyomi finally reacted, "Lord Nagai! Quickly lead the people to retreat! He shouted, picked up his spear and rushed towards Oda Yoshinobu.

"The Saito family's old Hihino Kiyomi ......"

"Poof!"

"Quack," Oda muttered disdainfully, for he was not interested in remembering the name ......of a guy he had never heard of.

"Keep attacking!" Oda Yoshinobu waved his hand, and then led the people to rush forward again. He could see clearly just now that Hibino Kiyomi was shouting something in a direction behind him before he rushed up again. With this natural talent for grabbing people, Oda Yoshinobu firmly believes that there is also a big fish over there.

Somewhere in Mino, the Saito army is in the main camp.

"Your Highness! When our army crossed the river, the Oda army suddenly attacked, and then when Hibino-sama led the army to resist, Oda Yoshinobu led the army to attack our army from the flank, and Hibino-sama and Nagai-sama were killed on the spot. One of the heralds said loudly on his knees.

"Really?" Saito Ryuxing raised his head and watched the rain that was still gradually getting lighter and responded softly.

"What about the losses of our army?" Seeing that Saito Ryuxing did not react, Mamoru Ando on the side hurriedly asked.

"Because the scene was too chaotic at that time, there was no way to count it specifically, but it is conservatively estimated that there were more than 3,000 people, and many of them were swept away by the turbulent river......

After the herald went down, Mamoru Ando hurriedly stood up and said, "My lord, the situation is extremely unfavorable to my family now, and my subordinates think that we should go back to Inabayama Castle first to think about it in the long run." As soon as Mamoru Ando said this, he immediately got the approval of Ryotsu Inaba and others.

It's just that Saito Ryuxing didn't respond to Ando's words at all, and kept looking at the sky in a daze.

"Lord!" Seeing this, Mamoru Ando immediately became anxious. If he could, he really wanted to give the order directly for the troops to withdraw. Unfortunately, he didn't dare to do that. You must know that although Higashimino killed Nagai Goryan and Hibino Kiyomi in the battle, Nagai Michitoriko is by his side.

Just when Mamoru Ando was about to go crazy, Saito Ryuxing finally spoke, "Where is the Oda Army now?" ”

"It's in the Yumata River, and since Hibino-sama and they have died in battle, I believe that Jujujo Castle has also been captured by the Oda army." Mamoru Ando hurriedly said. His meaning was obvious, Jujujo Castle had already been taken away, and Hibino Kiyomi and they had also failed, so in this case, it was the best option to retreat to Inabayama Castle and make another plan.

"Hmm......" Saito Ryuxing replied softly, and just when Ando Mamoru thought Saito Ryuxing agreed, he suddenly stood up.

"Pass the order down and march to Fourteen Castles!" Saito Ryuxing said in a deep voice.

"Lord?!" Mamoru Ando looked at Saito Ryuxing in shock, and he never imagined that in this situation, Saito Ryuxing would still have to march.

Well, Mamoru Ando admits that he is indeed very unhappy with Higashi Mino's people, but at this time, he is indeed thinking about the Saito family. Hibino Kiyomi and others died in battle, and they lost so many troops, and now the morale of the Saito army can be said to have plummeted. In this case, how to confront the Oda army?

It's just that Saito Ryuxing, who has always only been with the mud or the flow of advice, didn't pay attention to Ando Mamoru after hearing Ando Mamoru's words, but only when he saw that no one was moving, he turned his head and looked at Ando Moryoshi quietly.

Under Saito Ryuxing's calm gaze, Mamoru Ando inexplicably felt tremendous pressure. This feeling, he felt it on Saito Michizo's body, and he felt it on Saito Yoshiryu's body, but he never imagined that he would feel it on Saito Ryuko's body.

Sweat...... kept leaving from Ando's forehead, but he didn't even dare to wipe it. He stood there in fear, trying to say something, but he couldn't say a word.

"What? Do you want me to give the order myself? Saito Ryuxing asked with a chuckle.

"Yes! Subordinates understood! Mamoru Ando gave in, turned and trotted to give the order himself. He really didn't want to stay here any longer, not only because of the strange Saito Ryuko, but also because he didn't want to be laughed at by Michitoshi Nagai, a sworn enemy.

However, Nagai Michitoshi didn't pay attention to Ando at all at this time, he just carefully observed Saito Ryuxing, and kept thinking about the situation that seemed very strange just now.

On the other side, shortly after Shibata Katsuie and Oda Yoshinobu defeated the Saito army, Oda Nobunaga also arrived with his army.

"Well done!" Oda Nobunaga held back his excitement and praised. Although this was the first big victory against the Saito family in many years, it was not enough for him!

"The whole army immediately crossed the river and rested on the other side!" Oda Nobunaga ordered loudly, "Kecheng, you immediately go and find out the location of the Saito Army!" ”

"Yes!"

"Guangliang, you take the headquarters to Jujujo Castle and take over their garrison!" Oda Nobunaga finished the order and turned to Oda Hirora and said.

Oda Hirora is the younger brother of Oda Nobukiyo, and although he has no talent, Oda Nobunaga, who is very good to his family, still finds a way to help them obtain merit. And defending the nineteen-jou castle is obviously a good idea.

And Oda Hirora obviously understood Oda Nobunaga's thoughts, and after receiving the order, he led the crowd to leave.

Soon after, Maeda Toshiie and Ikeda Tsuneko rushed over, and after learning that Hibino Kiyomi's forces had been defeated, Jujujo Castle could no longer be defended, and was soon captured by Maeda Toshiie.

"Rest as soon as possible, it's time to go." Oda Nobunaga said casually after glancing at the two of them.

"Yes!"

After a long time, the Oda army marched again into the hinterland of Mino, and the target was Jujujo Castle.

"My lord, there are fourteen castles ahead." Mamoru Ando pointed to a castle in front of him.

"Well, keep it, you lead 2,000 people to garrison this city, and the rest of the people will cross the river with me!" Saito Ryuxing said lightly.

"What?!" As soon as these words came out, not only Ando Shou, but everyone was shocked. Because they couldn't understand what Saito Ryuko was trying to do. If you don't defend the castle with a good place, you can cross the river to find the Oda army in the field?

Ignoring everyone's surprise, Saito Ryuxing still said calmly, "Hold on, when the Oda army begins to retreat, you will immediately send troops to bite them, and don't let them withdraw smoothly." ”

"Lord...... Be! Mamoru Ando opened his mouth, but finally nodded honestly. He suddenly realized that the young man in front of him, who was only 13 years old, could no longer understand it at all, even though he had been assisting Saito Yoshiryu since his death.

Although the river became flooded after the heavy rain, the sky was now clear and there was no enemy harassment, and the Saito army soon came to the other side. "The whole army obeys the order and marches towards the nineteen cities!" Saito Ryuko shouted.

"What?!" When Inaba Yitetsu and the others heard this, they immediately looked at Saito Ryuxing in shock, obviously they had guessed Saito Ryuxing's purpose. But because of this, they were shocked, you must know that Saito Ryuxing at this time is only 13 years old!

"Could it be that the lord is someone who can compare to His Royal Highness Dao San?" This thought kept swirling in the hearts of countless retainers. After the name of the family was changed back to the Saito family, Saito Michizo became what they called His Royal Highness Michizo again.

Although I don't know if Saito Ryuko can really be compared to Saito Michizo, it is clear that today's Saito Ryuko will completely make Oda Nobunaga remember his name.

Fourteen jo castle, Oda Nobunaga frowned and looked at the situation in the city.

"Brother, the situation doesn't seem right, according to the group of people who surrendered, Saito Ryuko was following Hibino Kiyomi with more than 10,000 people. But it's ...... inside," Oda Yoshinobu said suspiciously.

Although I didn't count it carefully, the number of troops in the fourteen cities was less than 3,000. So, what about the others?

"Could it be that they have already withdrawn to Inabayama Castle?" Oda Yoshinobu said casually, but a bad thought surfaced in his heart, because he suddenly remembered that in history, Oda Nobunaga attacked Mino shortly after Saito Yoshiryu's death, and that time, it seems that he was defeated quite badly......

"Report!" A rapid shout made Oda Nobunaga and Oda Yoshinobu frown instantly, because the voice came from the rear, and at this time, there seemed to be only nineteen castles in the rear......

"Your Highness! Oh no! Saito Ryuko led an army to raid Nineteen Castles. ”

As soon as the words fell, a figure suddenly rushed in front of Oda Nobunaga, "My lord! You must save Guangliang! "But it's Oda Nobukiyo. Since subduing Oda Nobunaga, whether he is sincere or not, he has no chance to resist. And this expedition, in the face of the powerful Oda Nobunaga, no matter how unwilling Oda Nobukiyo was, he could only lead the Inuyama people to participate.

Although it is not happy, but in his heart, this battle is just a battle of soy sauce with a full number of people. Later, Oda Nobunaga asked Oda Hirora to garrison Jujujo Castle, which also made him very satisfied. Because the nineteen-jou castle is in the rear, it is very safe. Who would have thought that now, the enemy actually bypassed him and went straight to the nineteen jou castles.

"Immediately return to the nineteen-jou castle!" Oda Nobunaga ordered with a cold face. Even without Oda Nobukiyo's request, Oda Nobunaga would not have allowed the Saito family to retake Jujujo Castle, because in that case, the Oda army would have no way out.

However, just as the Oda army began to retreat, the gates of the fourteen castles, which had been closed, suddenly opened. Seeing this, how did Oda Nobunaga not know what the situation was?

"Yoshishin!" Oda Nobunaga shouted.

"Don't worry! Leave it to me! Oda Yoshinobu responded loudly, and then whispered to Oda Nobunaga, "Brother, be careful, Saito Ryuko's side doesn't seem to be as bad as you imagined......"

"Don't worry!" Oda Nobunaga replied with a calm face.

Nodding, Oda Yoshinobu led the Grim Reaper to the rear.

"Let's go!" Oda Nobunaga shouted coldly, and then rode his horse in the direction of Shijo Castle. Obviously, he's in a very, very bad mood right now.
