Time passed day by day, and every day, the combined forces of Oda and Asakura would carry out a siege drama that had no technical content and no ornamental value in the eyes of the Overlord Maru, and then left dozens of corpses to retreat. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Therefore, Bawangmaru didn't go to join in this boring excitement at all after that, but sneaked out to hunt game and eat it. Well, for Overlord Maru, who has been enjoying the blessings of Nakono Castle, those salted rice balls that he carried on the expedition were no different from pig food.

After 10 days,

"Division?" Overlord Maru looked at Oda Nobunaga suspiciously, a little unable to understand the meaning of this order. Although Overlord Maru has always been not interested in this kind of boring siege warfare, in his opinion, since Inabayama Castle has been completely surrounded, it is good to slowly besiege the city and cut off water and food, why should he divide his troops to burn what villages?

"Daddy is ready to withdraw his troops." Oda Nobunaga explained casually.

It turned out that in this attack on Mino, although Oda Nobuhide really wanted to kill his old enemy Saito Michizo directly, but when he found that this goal was difficult to achieve, he turned to the second, huh...... It should be said that this is the biggest purpose of this trip, and it is also the reason why the Asakura army will come to help.

Tsuchiki Yorichun! The son of the former governor of the Toki family, the elder brother of Toki Yoriyi, Toki Masayai. After his father was exiled, he stayed with his father in the Asakura family. So this time, it's not so much that the Asakura family sent troops because of the request of the Oda family, but because of the request of Toki Yorijun, who let the Toki clan and the Asakura clan be related by marriage?

Therefore, after Oda Nobuhide found that he could not eliminate Saito Michizo, he immediately helped Toki Yorijun to occupy the northern castle and at the same time prepared to withdraw his troops. However, before withdrawing the troops, he also planned to set a few more fires, after all, even if he couldn't extinguish Saito Michizo, he would be disgusted twice. Hawkers, this is actually the result of most wars in this era, and few people died on both sides, but the villages in the territory were burned and looted. Of course, civilians who are accustomed to war have long since taken refuge in the deep mountains and dense forests at the beginning of the war, and they really want to say what kind of loss, that is, those houses.

"That's right......" Overlord Maru muttered with some regret, although the previous siege made him feel bored, he was still looking forward to the day when the Saito army suddenly rushed out to fight them, so that he would have a chance to show his might. And now it seems that ...... "I guess I can only wait for the time when Inabu fights to have a chance for me to play." ”

Soon, the Oda army was divided into two teams, one led by Oda Nobuhide, and the other led by his brother Oda Nobumitsu, and the Oda Nobunaga Department was on the side of Oda Nobuhide's team.

"Well, just go back like this, it's really ......" Overlord Maru shook his head and complained.

"Okay, do you think the battle for supremacy is something that can be concluded in a few days? The days are still long~" Oda Nobunaga said with a smile.

"Anyway...... The Asakura army is also gone, and we have split into two teams, do you think Saito Michizo will suddenly go out of the city and attack us? Overlord Maru said quite worriedly, but although he used a worried tone, but looking at his expectant expression, how do you look at it, this kid hopes that Saito Michizo will do this, right?

"Impossible! Although our army is divided, the strength of either side is not much less than that of Saito's army, unless he is in full swing. But if that's the case, wouldn't Michizo Saito be worried about Inabayama Castle being captured by troops from the other side? And we have been besieging for so long, the Saito army has long been scared by us~" Hiratite Masahide on the side said firmly when he heard this, and at the same time glared at Bawangmaru fiercely, that look was obviously warning Overlord Maru not to talk nonsense.

"But......" Overlord Pill wanted to say something to prove that he was actually a military advisor, but at this moment, an exclamation came, which made everyone dumbfounded at once, "Enemy attack!" It's the banner of Michizo Saito! ”

"What?!" Everyone was dumbfounded, they didn't expect that the Saito army, which had been pressed and beaten for 10 days in a row, would dare to sneak out of the city to attack them, and they would not be discovered until they were killed.

"Hurry up and inform Your Highness!" Hirate Masahide yelled at one of the heralds beside him, then drew his sword and began to direct the troops to prepare for defense. At this time, Oda Nobunaga's department was in the middle and rear of the army, and not far ahead, Oda Nobuhide's main team. Obviously, Masahide Hirate would not dare to let Oda Nobunaga, a rookie, command the troops at such a critical juncture.

"This ...... This...... I don't know anything......" Overlord Maru looked at the Oda Army who was in a mess because of the enemy attack, shrunk his neck and muttered innocently.

"Okay, don't talk about these useless things, get ready to fight hard!" Oda Nobunaga glanced at Overlord Maru helplessly, then pulled out the sword, and looked behind with a stern face. Seeing this, Overlord Maru hurriedly pulled out a spear on his back and came to Oda Nobunaga's side. Although history tells him that Oda Nobunaga will live peacefully until 1582, Overlord Maru does not want anything to happen.

At this time, the Saito army had still entered the middle of the Oda army, "Don't pay attention to the others!" There is only one goal! Oda Nobuhide's head! Saito Michizo roared. In other words, as the governor of the Saito family, Saito Michizo appeared in such a dangerous sneak attack, which is obviously a very undesirable thing. After all, if the Oda army stabilizes its position and forms a counterattack, then the Saito army, which is in the middle of the Oda army, will easily be wrapped in dumplings.

However, there are two sides to everything, and although it is dangerous, because of this, the morale of the Saito army can be described as extremely high. After all, the family governors are all in danger, where will the retainers and ashigaru under his command not sell their lives? In particular, Saito Yoshiryu, who was bent on getting Saito Michizo's approval, brandished a big sword and led the crowd to rush to Oda Nobuhide's location, hoping to cut off Oda Nobuhide's head so that his father could admit himself.

"! Where the hell did so many Saito troops come from! Overlord Maru cursed, but the spear in his hand did not dare to stop at all, and kept waving it, killing any Saito army who dared to approach. At this time, he suddenly understood a little why Imagawa Yoshimoto was taken away by Oda Nobunaga in such a simple wave when he was in the barrel Sasama, this kind of sudden attack, all over the mountains and fields, seemed to be the feeling of the enemy, and people couldn't react at all!

"Be careful!" Overlord Maru suddenly shouted, and at the same time a shot was swung out, knocking out an arrow aimed at Oda Nobunaga.

"Thank you! Overlord Maru! Ha ha! With such a fierce battle, it's time for your resentment, right? Oda Nobunaga turned his head and laughed at Overlord Maru.

"Bastard! Are you still in the mood to laugh at this time? Overlord Maru scolded, as if 10,000 grass and mud horses were running wildly in his heart, as if he pried open Oda Nobunaga's head to study what kind of structure this kid's brain was. You must know that even a crossing man with excellent martial arts like him is nervous to death, for fear that he will be accidentally taken away by swords, guns and arrows that come out of nowhere.

However, it seems that Overlord Maru doesn't have time to complain about Oda Nobunaga anymore, because there are more and more Saito troops around. There is no way, the Oda army, which was suddenly attacked by sneak attack, is now completely chaotic and cannot organize an effective defense at all. No, it should be said that it is no longer possible to prevent the troops from escaping.

Therefore, after trying hard for a while, and after finding that there was nothing he could do, he quickly retreated to Oda Nobunaga's side and shouted anxiously, "Young master, I can't stay here anymore, quickly withdraw to Owari!" ”

Although Oda Nobuhide's order had not yet come at this time, this did not prevent Hirate Masahide from making the most correct decision. In his heart, now that Oda Nobuhide has no news, then Oda Nobunaga must return to Owari safely. As long as Oda Nobunaga lives, even if Oda Nobuhide dies in battle, there is still hope for the Oda family. This may sound a bit cruel, but in this troubled world, a family has to make these cruel choices if it wants to survive for a long time.

Just like Oda Nobuhide on the other side, when he learned that Saito Michizo personally led the army to attack, he immediately ordered the whole army to retreat, and then led Hagimoto to take the lead. It's not that he is unkind, but he must save his life, otherwise the Gudu Oda family will probably have to disappear from this continent from now on.

"Good! Let's withdraw! Oda Nobunaga also knew that this was not the time to be a hero, so he nodded, turned his horse's head and left first. Seeing this, Overlord Maru and Hirate Masahide hurriedly followed, as for the other ashigaru and flag books...... It's up to them.

"If it's just the three of us, we should have a good chance of escaping!" Overlord Maru thought so, when he escaped, the smaller the number of people, the smaller the target, he was still very clear about this. But when he looked back, he almost fell off the horse. It turned out that behind them, there were hundreds of ashigaru heels behind the ass. "Nima, what are you doing with us?" Fortunately, Overlord Maru still remembered that this was on the battlefield, and behind it was his own troops, and these words were just thinking about it in his heart.

The two sides fled and chased, and soon moved away from the Ghana Pass and gradually approached the destination Kisogawa. It is a large river that looks through Mino and Owari, and it is the only way for Mino to get to Owari. Well, it's not appropriate to say that, if you go farther, you can also pass through some small roads or mountain roads, but obviously, Oda Nobunaga today can't choose such a long way.

"Rush! Kill the opposing general! A Saito Army samurai shouted. It's not that this kid has a good eye, but among the hundreds of people, Oda Nobunaga and the three of them are riding horses, and if you can't guess it, then you can really go and jump into the sea.

Countless shouts and screams continued to sound, and all the Oda troops understood that the friendly forces behind them could not resist the Saito army, whose morale was almost at its peak at this time, but they did not look back, but kept running forward. Because in this case, it's no longer something that a small ashigaru like them can solve.

"Damn, I'm going to be overtaken!" Overlord Maru looked back at the battle situation, and suddenly found that the Saito army was getting closer and closer to his side. The fleeing army of hundreds of people could not hold back the other side for long without the leadership of the samurai.
