"The enemy general Sasa Sunsuke was taken by the new five people of Tsunoda!"

"The enemy general Sasa Morimasa was taken by the new five people of Tsunoda!"

Shibata Katsuie received these two good news one after another, but he was not happy at all, and his thick two eyebrows were almost wrinkled into one.

"Herald: The whole army—"

"Report! - Shingo Tsunoda was taken by the enemy general Sasa Naimasa! ”

Shibata Katsuie was giving the order for the whole army to advance, but was interrupted by the herald.

"Nani! Say it again! ”

"Shingo Tsunoda, was taken by the enemy general Sasa Seimasa!"

"Cimata!"

Katsuya patted his thigh anxiously, but he didn't expect Shingo Tsunoda to win quickly and lose faster.

"Herald: The whole army—"

"Report! ――There is an army of 500 people in the southwest direction, and the banner is the Maeda family! ”

The Singer slapped his thigh again, but he didn't expect the reinforcements from the Maeda family to come, didn't Maeda Toshimasa say that the two would not help each other and sit back and watch the success or failure?

In any case, there are only 500 people in the Maeda family, and it is their task to seize this high ground before they come.

"Herald: All the troops march!"

After several twists and turns, the Shengjia finally gave the order for the whole army to advance, and at the end he remembered something and added one.

"Be sure to capture Zuo Zuo Chengzheng alive!"

Looking at the heads of Sasa Morimasa's father and son, who had been brought by the heralds, the Katsuya had mixed feelings in his heart.

- His wife is actually the eldest daughter of Sasa Morimasa and the eldest sister of Sasa Narumasa.

In other words, Sasa Morimasa is his father-in-law, and Sasa Narumasa is his brother-in-law. The Shibata family and the Sasa family, as powerful people in Owari Province, can be said to have been friends for generations, but when it comes to this dispute between the family governors, the two families are fighting each other, which is also something that the Katsu family never expected. However, at this point, he was helpless. For now, the only way to do this is to protect Sasa Naruma, and after defeating Oda Nobunaga, let Naruma inherit the Sasa family.

――Even if Nobuyuki refuses to let go of the Sasa family, the Katsuya must protect Chengzheng.

The victor stepped on his horse and was just about to lead his army up the mountain when he saw a group of young men galloping towards him from the southwest.

The leader was armed with a spear, half of his chest was exposed, and his face was painted with colorful oil paint.

Keiji Maeda?

That's right, it must be Keiji Maeda.

Keiji Maeda rushed up the hill with a dozen or so people who had similar habits to him, and they were extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, they killed the top of the mountain and joined the Sasa army.

"Reinforcements are coming soon, hold on a little longer!"

Keiji shouted loudly, and the remnants of the Sasa family couldn't help but boost their morale, and under the command of Narumasa, they actually repelled this wave of attacks from the Shibata army!

It's no wonder that the leaders of the two sides, Shingo Tsunoda and Sasayamasa, have all died in battle, and everyone is a neighbor in the next village, so they can't fight hard.

Keiji Maeda rushed to the top of the mountain (in fact, it was only about thirty meters high) and held the crumbling Narumasa back.

"How many people are from the Maeda family?"

Cheng Zheng covered the wound under his ribs with his left hand, and the blood still flowed unstoppably.

"That's all."

"Nani?"

Cheng Zheng glared at Keiji and almost fainted.

"My father and grandfather are gathering troops! How can an army of five hundred be enough so easily? I had to bring our usual playmates with us. ”

Hearing that the Maeda family was about to arrive, Narumasa felt a little relieved, but he never thought that the Maeda family would intervene in the battlefield so quickly because of Keiji's merits.

And Qingci also inadvertently saved Chengzheng's life, and in the next ten years, he saved Chengzheng twice and became Chengzheng's brother who was a friend of life and death.

"By the way, before I got here, I asked everyone to drag the branches back and forth in the forest, which should create the illusion of a large number of reinforcements."

Keiji tortured and killed Ashigaru, who rushed up with his eyes, while proudly showing off his cleverness to Narumasa.

"Cut...... Old-fashioned strategy, do you want me to get you a copy of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms? ”

Cheng Zheng had no strength to fight again, but he refused to admit defeat, he looked to the north, and suddenly laughed.

"Laughing hair? Scare people, let me tell you, there are less than thirty people in total, and I can't hold it anymore. ”

Keiji was busy dealing with Shibata's countless ashigaru soldiers, and was not surprised by Narumasa's heartbroken laughter.

"Brothers! Reinforcements are coming! Keep it up! ”

Cheng Zheng roared again, couldn't support it anymore, and sat down next to a pile of corpses, unconscious from excessive blood loss.

To the north of the position, the wise army led by Mitsuhide finally arrived.

"Stormtroopers!"

At the sound of Guangxiu's order, the wise army marching in the shape of a long snake quickly formed a wedge, and the hundred shield-wielding ashigaru guards the sides of the wedge.

It's strange, is this an offensive formation or a defensive formation?

The farmers and soldiers of the Shibata family don't know why, so they can't figure out what this group of soldiers from Mino is going to do.

The Iron Gunners of the Wise Army were quick to respond to their doubts.

Getting close enough to the flanks of the Shibata army, the sword and shield men joined together to form a shield wall on the spot, and the iron cannon Ashigaru fired two volleys at the Shibata army through the gap in the shield wall.

"Bang bang!"

Cheng Zheng scared many people into peeing their pants with just one iron cannon, but there were two hundred of the wise army!

The flanks of the Shibata Army received a big blow;

The flank formation of the Shibata Army was in disarray;

The flanks of the Shibata Army began to crumble!

"No backsliding! Rush up! ”

Katsu whipped the fleeing Ashigaru with a horsewhip, and he was depressed.

Didn't you say that the reinforcements were in the southwest?

How did it come out of the north? And there's not any news from the spies yet!

Didn't you say that it was the Maeda family's Ashigaru who came to help, how did it become Mino's iron artillery team?

The iron cannon alone doesn't matter, the problem is that there are 200 of them! A salvo knocked out his right flank!

The Victors struggled to maintain the formation, but the collapse of the right flank could no longer be stopped, and the convergence of the Wise Army and the Zuo Army became inevitable.

"Attack! Offensive! The whole army is on the offensive! ”

Unable to maintain the formation on the right flank, the Victor simply stopped maintaining it, and he pressed all his forces, preparing to seize the high ground before the Wise Army and the Zuo Army merged!

"Lijia, go and take down the main formation of the Zuo Army!"

"Hay!" A young man behind the Katsuya stepped out of the crowd and rushed to the top of the hill with a group of soldiers.

He is none other than the Maeda family's fourth son, Maeda Toshiie, that is, Maeda Keiji's nominal uncle, the little surname who defected from Nobunaga to the Shibata Katsuie.

The Li family is tall, handsome, and with a beautiful armor, he simply stands out from the crowd.

"For victory! Come on! ”

"Victory over your sister!"

Keiji Maeda took a sip and launched a counter-charge against the Maeda Toshiya with a dozen or so delinquent teenagers.

The two soon encountered.

The result of the confrontation was a defeat for Maeda Toshiie, who even discarded his long-used spear, and the tether of his armor was broken in several places by Keiji, and fled back to the Shibata army's main camp in disarray.

"If you come again next time, it won't be the tether that will be broken!"

Qingci snatched the war horse of the Li family, rode it himself, galloped back and forth, and there was no one who joined him.

"Father, it's not that our army is not strong, but that the enemy is too rampant!"

Toshiie Maeda knelt in front of Katsuie Shibata and said a classic line that was later quoted N+10086 times.

Shibata Katsuya was very upset, but in the face of the well-behaved and obedient Maeda Toshiya, he had no reason to be angry.

Seeing that the Wise Army has merged with the Zuo Zuo Army, he is very angry!

"Retreat! Fall back! Regroup! ”
