On April 4, 1566, Oda Nobunaga mobilized an army of 80,000 and rushed to Omi under the banner of helping Ashikaga Yoshiaki succeed as the general. At the same time, Oda Yoshinobu led an army of 20,000 men to leave Osaka and kill the Yamato country.

In an instant, the whole world shook. Everyone knew that the Oda family was going to Shangluo, but this time they made an army of more than 100,000, which obviously exceeded everyone's expectations.

What is the concept of 100,000 people? At the beginning, the Imagawa family's 40,000 troops frightened many people, and this was more than twice as much as at that time! Since the Onin Rebellion, if we exclude the turmoil that has always been in the tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of people at every turn, then the closest large-scale war is the 110,000-strong army led by Uesugi Kenshin to attack the Hojo family.

Hawkers, it seems that the Oda family doesn't have many troops, but if you think about it carefully, at the beginning, it was the Uesugi family and the entire Kanhachi Prefecture anti-Hojo gathered together to be able to gather so many troops! How big is Kanhachi? Counting the height of the stone alone, not counting Sagami, nearly 3 million stones! And what about the Oda family today? It's just over 1 million. Belch...... Well, it's almost 2 million stones.

But anyway, it's still 1 million stones, right? And although others don't know it, they think that these 100,000 troops are all peasant soldiers gathered in various places like them. But in reality, all of them were in the prime of life, and all of them had received some military training. What's more, they were all well equipped, far from being comparable to those peasant soldiers who even needed their own weapons and armor.

And strictly speaking, the reason why the Oda family only produces 100,000 people is not because they can only produce 100,000, but because there is only so much equipment. Otherwise, just like Niwa Nagahide told Ashikaga Yoshiaki before, the Oda family's reserve military service has already exceeded 150,000. Tsk, if other forces knew, would their jaws drop in shock?

Hawkers, I really don't know about these, but what I can know is that Ashikaga Yoshiaki and others have been scared.

"This, this is the army that is going to escort me to Shangluo, right? Fujitaka? This...... Is this true? Ashikaga Yoshiaki stood in front of the gate of Gifu Castle, looked at the mighty army and asked incoherently.

"Yes, Your Highness! This is the strength of the Oda family, and it is also the guarantee that you will succeed to the post of general! Hosokawa Fujitaka said in a deep voice, but he was also amazed in his heart.

Strictly speaking, although Hosokawa Fujitaka was inclined to ask for the help of the Oda family for a long time, it was purely based on the territory of the Oda family and the achievements over the years. He never imagined that a Oda family would be able to raise so many troops. You know, among these people, you don't include the Asai family in Omi and Takayama Takamasa in.

"No wonder His Royal Highness Oda was so confident at the beginning, even if there were no big forces to respond to his call, he still didn't care." Hosokawa Fujitaka thought to himself as he looked at the troops who walked in front of him like flowing water.

And Ashikaga Yoshiaki on the side obviously didn't have these boring thoughts, and now in his heart, there is something called the spirit of the king. "With such an army, who in the world can resist me?! At that time, it will be very simple to revive the shogunate and dominate the world......"

Belch...... Well, in fact, not only them, but even the retainers of the Oda family itself were also extremely shocked. After all, although they all know the policy of reserve military service, they also know how many people are in reserve military service. But knowing is knowing, this is the first time they have seen so many troops gathered together.

"Reserve ......" Akechi Mitsuhide rode his horse and thought secretly as he followed the army.

At first, when he saw the reserve service, he was completely unaware of how Oda Nobunaga could issue such a decree that undermined the rule of the samurai. But seeing this scene now, he finally knew why.

"Yoshinobu, that kid, was able to come up with such a clever plan, a mere samurai, and trap everyone on the chariot of the Oda family......" Akechi Mitsuhide sighed in his heart.

Omi, Otani Castle assessment room.

"What? 80,000 people?! And 20,000 from Ise to attack Yamato Province?! When Asai Nagamasa heard the report, he stood up abruptly and exclaimed. And the group of retainers on the side also had panicked expressions.

"Endo-sama, is this number wrong? The Oda family's territory now has less than 2 million stones, how can it be possible to mobilize so many troops?! Haibei Tsunade exclaimed. He is the third generation of important ministers of the Asai family, and he is also the first of the three generals of Hai Chiyu, and he is highly respected in the Asai family.

But before Endo Naokei could speak, Asai Nagamasa, who reacted, shouted directly, "Naojing! Immediately send the order down and let the troops be urgently mobilized everywhere! In any case, 10,000 people must be mobilized before the arrival of the Oda Army! ”

"Yes!" Hearing this, Endo hurriedly responded after a pause, and then left quickly.

"Lord ......" Seeing this, the retainers immediately began to discuss, obviously not agreeing with this decision. Although the Asai family is now getting stronger and stronger under the leadership of Asai Nagamasa, it is only relative to the original Asai family. Mobilizing so many troops at once is simply unbearable for the Asai family.

"The Lord is right, but with Endo-sama alone, I'm afraid it will be difficult to mobilize so many troops. Therefore, I also asked the lord to give an order to let his subordinates and others return to the territory immediately for mobilization. Haibei Tsunade said in a deep voice.

"Yes, although the Oda family is only responding to the call of the Oda family, if the Oda family sends 100,000 troops and the family only sends 3,000 people, then it is better not to go!" Hai Chiyu's other person, Akao Kiyotsuna, echoed.

Hearing this, everyone stopped talking, because as Akao Kiyotsuna said, the Oda family sent 100,000 troops, is it really worse than your 3,000 people? Apparently impossible. Moreover, the Asai family, as an in-law ally of the Oda family, if the strength of the army is not as good as that of most of the retainers of the Oda family, wouldn't it be a shame?

Helpless, everyone can only return to their respective territories and mobilize desperately, the so-called loser does not lose the battle, and the last thing is not to let the people of the Oda family underestimate the Asai family.

The Asai family is panicking here, and the Rokkaku family is even more frightened.

"What to do?! What to do?! What the hell to do?! Rokkaku Yoshiji looked at the retainers in a panic in the assessment room and roared, he was completely frightened by the Oda family's exaggerated military strength.

It's just a pity that sitting opposite him is a group of wooden people who are watching their noses and noses, and they don't react at all.

"You...... You ......" Seeing this, Rokkaku Yoshiji pointed at everyone and trembled with anger, unable to say a word. Well, in fact, he can still say it, such as all kinds of foul language, but unfortunately, he doesn't dare to say it. After all, if it weren't for Gamo Dingxiu's help, he wouldn't have been able to return to Guanyin Temple. No matter how stupid he is, he will not die by himself.

At this time, it was Gamo Dingxiu who stood up and started a round, "Lord, why don't you let your subordinates return to their territories to mobilize troops first, and then gather here to hold on?" In addition, please send someone to urge the Miyoshi family to send troops to support again. With this family alone, I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist such a large army of the Oda family. ”

"This ......" Rokkaku Yoshiji was a little hesitant when he heard this, he knew that this was not a good idea, but now he really couldn't think of any ideas, so he had no choice but to agree with what everyone said.

Leaving the Guanyin Temple, several retainers immediately gathered around Gamo Dingxiu, and asked with a puzzled expression, "Lord Gabu, didn't you say it before?" Why is it ...... now?"

Hearing this, Gamo Dingxiu shook his head helplessly and said, "Now that the Oda family has sent 100,000 troops, has no power to resist it." So we have to find a way to get some other credit, otherwise how can we show our sincerity? ”

"I see......"

Yamato country, the front three good army of Xingui Mountain Castle.

"The Oda Army has such a terrifying force?" Miyoshi Changyi froze in place and muttered to himself.

"So what now?!" Miyoshi asked anxiously.

"Withdraw! Withdraw immediately! Gather all the troops in the territory and rely on the many fortified cities in the territory to defend it! At the same time, ask for help from the surrounding forces. The Oda Army has so many troops that it is impossible to maintain it for too long with the territory of the Oda family today. As long as we can stick to 1, no! Half a month is enough! As long as it can survive half a month, the Oda army will definitely have to withdraw! Iwanari Yutong said in a deep voice.

"That'...... And what about here? We've all been attacking for so long......" Hearing this, Miyoshi Masaysu pointed to the Xingui Mountain Castle in front of him and asked. Since the Oda family announced Kamiraku, the Miyoshi trio have desperately attacked the Matsunaga family, hoping to bring Yamato Province into their hands before Oda Kamiraku.

It's just that now, it's been nearly half a month since the siege of Shinguiyama Castle, but I don't know if it's because the Oda family accepted the surrender of the Matsunaga family, which made the Matsunaga family think that reinforcements were coming and their morale soared, so they were stunned to defend it until now.

"No matter!" Miyoshi Nagayi said decisively, "Oda Yoshinobu has already led an army of 20,000 to support Matsunaga Hide, even if we take it, what if we take it?" ”

"Not bad! And Tsutsui Shunkei was not really loyal to his family, I am afraid that in order to compete with Matsunaga Shu for Yamato Province, he will also fall to the Oda family. Iwanari said again.

Both of them said so, what can Miyoshi Masaysu say?

On the observation deck of the castle tower of Shingui Mountain Castle, Matsunaga looked at the rapidly retreating Miyoshi Army, looked at Matsunaga Shu in front of him with a puzzled face, and asked, "Father, why don't you let the child chase after you?" ”

"Hehe, among the three people, Miyoshi Zhengkang is brave in battle, Miyoshi Changyi is resourceful, and Iwanari Youtong is calm and calm. With their ability, even if they pursue, they won't be able to take advantage of anything. Matsunaga said with a smile.

"That'...... What do we do now? Attacking other places? Matsunaga listened, and although he didn't agree much, he didn't dare to refute it.

"No, we're just here waiting for Oda Yoshinobu's army to arrive," Matsunaga said, shaking his head.

"Huh?" Matsunaga looked at Matsunaga in surprise, "In that case, aren't all the merits of pacifying Yamato Country belong to Oda Yoshinobu?" ”

"So what? The lord has promised me to reward me with the kingdom of Yamato, so what is there to care about in terms of merit or something? Matsunaga said with a chuckle. Well, he's in a pretty good mood right now.

"Wouldn't that make the people of the Oda family look down on the family?" Matsunaga asked again unwillingly. Now that the three of Miyoshi are afraid of the Oda family's forces, they must be hiding in the territory to defend it, and this is a great opportunity to recapture Yamato Kingdom.

"Young master, now is indeed a good opportunity to take Yamato Province, but it is also a good opportunity to show favor to Oda Yoshinobu." Honda Masanobu said softly.

"Huh? Honda-sama, please make it clear. Matsunaga asked respectfully, for Honda Masanobu, Matsunaga did not put on the shelf of the young master, but was very respectful to him everywhere. Because Honda Masanabin is a man that his father is also very optimistic about, he naturally values Honda Masanaga very much for Matsunaga, who his father worships madly.

"As the young master said before, this is a good opportunity for the family to take the Yamato country, and not only we know it, but Oda Yoshinobu must also know it. So, once he came to Yamato Province and found that his family hadn't attacked anywhere? Honda Masanobu looked at Matsunaga and smiled.

"Then he will naturally think that this is the merit that the family has given him!" When Matsunaga heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, "And Oda Yoshinobu is the most favored retainer around Oda Nobunaga, and he is also known as the famous general of the Oda family's god of war." If you get his favor, it will definitely be good for the future of the family! ”

"Yes, exactly!" Matsunaga Xiu turned to look at Matsunaga and said with a smile, "If you want to achieve great things, you can't just focus on the small profits in front of you." I bear the infamy of assassinating the general, and although I have been forgiven, if I don't do anything more, then I will only be Yamato for the rest of my life! ”

"You must remember that relying on force, you may be able to dominate for a while, but if you want to unify the world, you still have to rely on strategy in the end!" Matsunaga looked at the two of them and said with a serious face.

"Yes!"

Seeing this, Matsunaga Shu turned around again and stared into the distance from the railing of the observation deck, which was in the direction of Kyoto.

"Sooner or later, I will return to the center of the world's power! I am the only one who can rule the world! Matsunaga thought to himself.
