A thousand years ago, the Japanese Imperial Family set up three passes in order to strengthen the defense of.

These three passes are Hokuriku Province, Echizen Aifa Pass, Nakasendo Pass, Fukipass in Mino, Tokaido, Suzuka Pass in Ise.

In the past, outside of these three passes, it was called Kanwai, or Kanto.

When the forward corps of the Oda Army arrived at Ogaki Castle, it was going to attack the northern castle.

Such an intention was to punish the rebellion, and secondly, to prevent the hoarded 100,000 stone military rations in the northern city from falling into the hands of Takeda.

So the Oda army sent a front team and ordered Inaba Sadatsu and Hayashi Sadahide to assault the northern city and decided to recapture the city.

However, Inaba Zhentong and Lin Xiuzhen's army, under the northern city, was attacked by Shima Katsu, and Ando Mamoru was ambushed by the two and suffered a slight setback.

The next day, when Inaba Sadatsu and Lin Xiuzhen heard that Li Xiao led the main force of the Hida Echichu Army and had arrived at Kajida Castle.

When the two heard of Li Xiao's name, they did not dare to act rashly at the moment, and immediately led the army to retreat in the direction of Ogaki Castle, and reported the news of Li Xiao's main force to Oda Nobutada and Akechi Mitsuhide.

Nakano, Kajida Castle.

In this vital city of Meinong, Li Xiao has been here for the second time.

In fact, Li Xiao led the main force of the Hida Etsuchu Army, and after a three-day trek, from under the mountains of Ominon, directly entered the Nowei Plain.

Li Xiao followed the route of the last time Xinxuan went to Luo, and after passing through Yiliu City, he directly led the army to advance to Kajitian City.

Over the mountains for days. The army under Li Xiao is indeed very tired.

In front of the fire pit on the top floor of the castle tower, Li Xiao took off his muddy shoes and socks under the service of Usami Nami.

Looking from the pane, this rather heavy autumn rain is still falling loudly, and the rain does not stop.

Usami Nami brought a basin of hot water and asked Li Xiao to put his feet in it.

As soon as his cold feet were immersed in the steaming hot water, he suddenly felt a very comfortable feeling, stretching almost to every pore on Li Xiao's body.

After feeling that his soul almost wanted to go to heaven, Li Xiao immediately picked up the military newspaper. I took a closer look at it.

After arriving at Kajida Castle, Li Xiao ordered the army to be stationed and rested, and at the same time worked hard to find out the news of the main force of the Oda army.

When Li Xiao heard that the main force of the Oda Army was on the front line of Ogaki Castle, with a strength of as many as 1230,000 troops, he suddenly felt a little numb.

If the Oda family is really to be pacified, Honganji, after the Hatano family. The power has risen sharply, and with the previous estimation of Takeda Xinfan and Li Xiao, the mobilization power of the Oda family's maximum 100,000 troops is still two or three percent higher.

Usami Nami helped Li Xiao rub her feet carefully, and raised her head to look at Li Xiao's color. asked, "What's the matter, the battle situation ahead is different?" ”

Li Xiaoxin felt that the toes were rubbed under the slender and smooth ten fingers of Usami Nami, and the weight was moderately soothing.

Beauty washes her feet. This is really the joy of life, but Li Xiao opened his mouth to tell the truth about the strength of the Oda army.

Li Xiaoyan said: "Although fighting a war is not about addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, one plus one equals two, although there are many troops, whoever can win." However, it is also an indisputable fact that the side with a large number of people will always occupy a certain psychological advantage in all aspects. ”

Usami raised her head and said with a smile on her lips: "I didn't expect the famous Major General Konoe to be afraid. ”

Li Xiao laughed and said: "Of course, under every battle, you must walk on thin ice, if you don't know how to be afraid." Just a reckless man. ”

Usami shook her head slightly, noncommittal.

At this time, Li Xiao suddenly moved his hand, stretched directly from Usami Nami's waist, hugged her directly, and then pressed her whole body to the ground with a heavy weight. …,

Only to hear a pop, the basin was knocked over to the ground, wetting both of them.

Usami was pressed under Li Xiao, her face was ashamed and red, and she protested loudly: "Your Highness, you are here again, it's daytime." ”

Li Xiao laughed loudly and said, "What about the daytime? You still haven't moved in your stomach, of course I'm going to work hard! ”

After speaking, Li Xiao's whole person pressed on Nami's body, blocked the other party's lips with his mouth, and only heard Usami Nami make a sound of humming.

Li Xiao was proud in her heart, but she ripped off her clothes a little rudely in her hand.

After Usami Nami resisted unwillingly, she saw that she couldn't push Li Xiao away, and she stopped moving at the moment.

Immediately, under Li Xiao's movements, Usami Minami's face gradually turned red, her lips opened slightly, and only a low mutter came out almost inaudible.

After a long time, the movement in the attic of the castle tower stopped.

Usami closed her eyes tightly, her forehead was covered with sweat, and she lay quietly under the covers.

Li Xiao stood up, covered the quilt for Usami, walked to the side, put on clothes, lit a candle, and sat quietly under the light.

Li Xiao looked at the heavy rain outside the window, and thought in his heart that under this heavy rain, the Nakasendo will inevitably be more difficult, at such a speed, I am afraid that the main army of the Takeda family of Takeda Shinshihiro will be slower than a day if they want to pass through the Nakasendo.

If this is the case, then Ogaki Castle, where the Oda army is gathered, is only a few dozen miles away from the northern city.

If the Oda army attacked the northern city, then it would be unwise to meet the Oda army with its own 20,000 troops.

However, if you retreat from the northern city, it will be easy to fight against Ando, and the food and grass supplies obtained will be lost, which is really a big loss for the entire battle situation.

Therefore, Li Xiao must come up with a way two or three days later, before all the troops of the Oda family are gathered, otherwise he can only give up the northern city.

After Li Xiao thought about it again, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he pushed the paper door and walked out of the door.

Outside the door, Li Xiao was close to the head of Shigang Yiyu, and there were two close warriors, all of whom were guarding outside.

As soon as Li Xiao walked out of it, the three of them bowed down together.

Li Xiao said in a deep voice: "Immediately bring Yokoya Xingqing and invite me to see me." ”

Boom!

In the sky of Higashiminon, dark clouds rolled, and the clouds quickly covered them.

Then another shower rained down from the sky.

The autumn rain is extremely cold, not inferior to the winter rain.

It's hard work, and I rushed to the Takeda Army on the Nakasendo Road.

Everyone was watered by the heavy rain, and it was wet inside and out.

However, even though the climate was so bad, the soldiers of the Takeda Army, after scolding the ghost weather in the slang of the Kai countryside, did not have the slightest intention of stopping, and buried their heads and worked hard.

Takeda Nobuyoshi, who was dressed in a thick robe, looked at the torrential rain, and his face couldn't help but be solemn.

Takeda Nobuyhiro handed the letter in his hand to Takeda Nobuyoshi and said, "Major Konoe will send a letter that the main force of the Oda family will be assembled in Ogaki Castle in a few days, and then it will be sent to the northern castle." ”

Takeda Nobuyoshi read Li Xiao's letter and said: "The northern city is an important town on the Zhongshan Road, and there are enough military food supplies, which can be used by the Shangluo army, if it is lost, it will have a great impact on the battle situation." ”

Takeda Nobuyoshi nodded and said, "I suspect that the general of the Oda army also saw this, so he wanted to force our army to speed up, and then wait for work and fight a decisive battle with our army between Northern Castle and Ogaki Castle." ”

Takeda Shin said honestly: "Yes, elder brother, it's not that this possibility is not impossible, but if our army slows down and advances slowly, then the northern city is really likely to fall." ”…,

At that moment, after pacing back and forth with his hands in his hands, Takeda Nobuyhiro slammed the bamboo cane in his hand and said: "The northern city, you can't lose, and the main army, under this heavy rain, rushed to the northern city rashly to fight a decisive battle with the Oda army, and it was also defeated and invincible. All of them have to think of a two-way street. ”

This is a dilemma.

Takeda Nobufan and Takeda Nobuyoshi are all in trouble for a while.

Takeda Nobu thought for a moment and said, "Order the main army to hold off the advance!" ”

After hearing this, Takeda Nobuyoshi said, "Brother, this decision needs to be cautious. ”

Takeda Nobuyhiro nodded and said, "I understand." ”

At that moment, Takeda Nobuyoshi said in a deep voice: "Immediately in my name, I will issue an order to Li Xiao, so that he must defend the northern city to the death, and order Sanada Masayuki, Hoshina Masano, and Baba Nobubo three legions, without sparing physical strength, to quickly reinforce the northern city, and Satake Yoshishige and Tokugawa Ieyasu led the Tokaido army to take the road from Owari and enter the territory of Mino to reinforce the northern city." ”

"No regiment shall disobey or delay this order, and if it is discovered, it shall be punished afterwards."

As soon as Takeda Nobuyo's voice fell, Takeda Nobuyo's body shook at the moment, and Takeda Nobuyoshi grasped Takeda Nobuyo's intentions, and he didn't have a chill in his heart.

At the same time, the Oda army of Ogaki Castle was in the main formation.

A stream of rumors is spreading to all sides at a rapid pace.

The soldiers of the Oda family exchanged words and talked about it.

Soon after, the rumor spread throughout the barracks.

Now Oda Nobutada's desk is displaying a letter.

After reading this letter, Oda Nobutada trembled all over, shouted loudly for a long time, and approached the side outside the military tent, only faintly heard the words, I want to kill the monkey, I want to kill the monkey and so on.

Soon after, Akechi Mitsuhide, Mori Nagako, Ikeda Tsuneko, Hosokawa Fujitaka and other Oda generals were all summoned into the military tent to discuss matters.

The military meeting lasted until midnight, during which no one knew what was said, but after the military discussion, I saw that all the generals of the Oda army were all pale.

After the early morning of the next day, Ikeda Tsunekoi, who had just arrived at Ogaki Castle, returned to the command of his 10,000 troops and hurriedly turned back to the west.

In the middle of this, among the others, they sat down with their own suspicions.

Hideyoshi Hashiba is going to reverse.

In fact, after Li Xiao, who was in Kajida Castle, heard the news that Ikeda Hengxing led 10,000 troops to Settsu in Ogaki Castle.

couldn't help but have a smile on Li Xiao's face. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
