Chapter 202: Surprise Attack

Fighting a war is a matter of logistics, national strength, and a contest of wills between people.

Logistics is important, national strength is important, but more important is people.

Since ancient times, wars have mostly been fought by the strong bullying the weak, so those battles in which the few win more and the weak defeat the strong are particularly dazzling.

The art of war has clouds, with the right fit, with the odd victory.

The battle is not until the last moment, and it is not known who will be the winner.

Imagawa Yoshimoto considered himself already the winner, and Oda Nobunaga used all his strength to fight for victory.

Only then did there be a battle of 25,000 troops against 4,000 troops, and the barrel was a surprise attack.

Leaving Zenshoji Temple, Nobunaga was left with only 1,500 troops left.

She was an unsupervised wild child in her early years, and she played crazy everywhere in the four counties of Shimoowari.

Now that I am revisiting my hometown in the southeast mountainous area, I naturally know how to take the trail and avoid the large group of the Imagawa army.

Not only did she know, but the wild children under her command also followed the north and south, and survived in the wild together.

The path she chose was the mountain stream trail that the children walked together. The mountain path is narrow enough to walk for one person.

With the heavy wind and rain and the dark sky, it was also difficult for the army to march forward in a long snake formation.

Suddenly, she stumbled and almost fell on a piece of gravel, and Ikeda Hengxing in front of her turned around to stop her sinking body.

"Your Highness, you can't go this way, the road is too narrow.

If we encounter an enemy army, we will be blocked alive in the mountain stream, and we will have no chance of winning. ”

Nobunaga shook off her support and said fiercely.

"No, you have to do it, this road is a shortcut to the Spoo Narrows.

Not only do I know that Sasa Hayabusa and Qianqiu Siniang will attack, and they will inevitably take this road in order to reach Mt. Tsubasama as soon as possible. ”

She looked at Ikeda Hengxing, her eyes shining as bright as stars in the dim mountain stream.

"I made them die.

Did you hear that? There was their shouting in front of me, telling me to come forward, telling me to fight, telling me to step on their corpses and take the victory.

Walk! Go kill Yoshimoto Imagawa, go kill her! ”

Only then did Ikeda realize that the stars were nothing more than a reflection of tears.

In the wind and rain, no one noticed that Oda Nobunaga was crying.

She didn't dare to think about it, let alone mention it. The Wild Children are diehards who grew up with Oda Nobunaga, and for the sake of profit, Nobunaga will not hesitate to let them die.

People have feelings.

Even in troubled times, even if she is a big fool of Oda without blood and tears, she is a flesh-and-blood person in the end.

It's just that the world is cold, and it's only those who learn to be ruthless to live.

Gritting his teeth and not saying a word, Ikeda Hengxing walked forward, let's go and kill Imagawa Yoshimoto!

The wind and rain are getting stronger and stronger, and Imagawa Yoshimoto's main camp goes down the mountain to hide from the rain and hides in the mountain stream path.

Faced with the strange weather, she became more and more agitated. Why is the rain not smaller, but getting heavier?

This formation has sent ten envoys in a row to contact the troops.

She is the governor of the Imagawa family, the general of the army. The longer the army was out of her grasp, the more unsettling it became.

No longer in the mood to hum, she frowned and waited for the heavy rain to pass.

Tell yourself, it's okay.

Suddenly, there was a sound of fighting behind him. In the wind and rain, a few torches could not be lit, and in the dimness, the situation could only be identified by the afterglow.

"What's going on!"

A flag book stepped forward and bowed, and replied.

"Kill an Oda army from the mountain stream, I don't know how many men and horses.

The Hime-samurai, who was hiding from the rain over there, was caught off guard and retreated a little, and was engaged in a struggle with the enemy. ”

Imagawa Yoshimoto's face turned pale, and he finally realized that he had made a mistake.

The Oda army that was looking for death before was not an ambush, they came from a mountain stream path!

Now it should be the follow-up people who have arrived, so they will be killed from the previous path.

Her mind was in turmoil.

What to do? How many enemy troops are there? He only has the three hundred banners of the Honhime samurai in his hands, although they are elite, but there are not many of them.

Due to the terrain and weather, the nearby military forces could not be contacted for a while.

When she was most vulnerable to breaking away from the army, she actually ran into the Oda family's army.

What bad luck!

She forced herself to calm down and gave the order.

"The mountain stream trail is not wide, and at most three or two people fight side by side.

Order the flag book in front to withstand the enemy army, as long as the rain stops, the nearby reserve will inevitably find out and come to the rescue.

Steady is victory! ”

The queue, which had just been a little flustered, calmed down because of the governor's firm words.

After all, it is the elite of the army, and soon there will be Ji samurai dispatchers at all levels to the front to block the enemy in turn.

Imagawa Yoshimoto whispered to his side.

"You shun me and retreat."

Her idea is that even if the flag here is dead, as long as she is fine, it will be a victory.

With thirty warriors approaching Hime, he walked towards the other end of Mt. Tsukasa, far away from the sound of fighting.

It was inconvenient to ride a horse in the wind and rain, and a group of people had to walk in a hurry.

In the mountain stream on the other side, Maeda Toshihisa was resting with his eyes closed, maintaining his strength.

Suddenly, she felt the Li family next to her stand up.

"What's wrong, Lijia?"

"There was a fight."

Riku closed his eyes and listened sideways, there really is!

The Rika family pointed to Imagawa Yoshimoto's rain drops and said affirmatively.

"Her Highness Oda has come down, I can feel it, she's coming!"

Riku thought to himself.

Nonsense, such an important raid, I will also personally lead the team.

Hiding in Kiyosu Castle is a dead end, and Oda Nobunaga's decisiveness both know that they will definitely lead the army to kill them in person.

I was still a little impatient before, but when the time really came, Rijiu calmed down and asked.

"What now?"

"Go out, find Yoshimoto Imagawa, and kill her!

She wouldn't be in danger to stay there, even if her Honjin Banner was all dead, as long as she didn't kill her, the Oda family would lose. ”

Lijiu nodded and beckoned the army to assemble.

With murderous eyes in his eyes, the Toshiya looked towards Imagawa Yoshimoto's main camp.

Imagawa Yoshimoto retreated to the rear and collided head-on with the advancing Spo army.

Thirty Ji warriors under his command and eight Ji warriors of the Spo family, and fifty Spo were killed together.

She was frightened and gritted her teeth with hatred.

This is an ambush! A real ambush!

Ever since she entered Mt. Tsubasasa, she has been bewitched by the enemy.

First, he sent her two villages of civilians to slaughter, then sent three hundred death squads, and then the Oda army that came out of the mountain stream.

All this is clearly seen here, just for this ambush soldier who is responsible for the decapitation operation!

How dare Oda Nobunaga use such a complex strategy? As long as there is a problem in the middle link, it will fall short!

This damn weather is also helping her, otherwise the nearby army would not have gone unnoticed, and their general is under siege!

How did she know that Oda Nobunaga and Maeda Toshiya were gambling.

Because he is too weak, he has no choice but to give it a go and survive in the dead.

At this point, it's too late to turn around. Imagawa Yoshimoto didn't look back, pulled out his sword, and prepared for battle.

Maeda Toshiya fought with guns in the crowd, looking for Imagawa Yoshimoto.

A Ji samurai was seen dressed in a gorgeous carcass and armed with a sword.

She stared at her and found it.

When you go into battle, the most taboo is gorgeous. Because gorgeous is the target, the generals are well-dressed and low-key armaments.

Only Imagawa Yoshimoto did not need to go to war, and he had to maintain the majesty of the governor to deter the army, so he would dress so fancy.

It's the same reason that she uses the fighting knife she carries with her instead of the longer weapon that is better used on the battlefield.

So, Maeda Toshiya was convinced that he had found the right person.

Imagawa Yoshimoto watched a Ji samurai kill him, his pupils dilated slightly, he shouted, and raised his sword to rush forward.

Her weapons are too short, and she will inevitably suffer a loss in the fight against the spear and the samurai, and only the first strike can do it.

Maeda Toshi's family didn't dare to delay, and the surrounding Imagawa side had already discovered that the family governor was in danger, and they were all coming closer, and she only had a chance to strike.

With his left shoulder, he took a knife from Imagawa Yoshimoto.

It was a good knife, and it hit her shoulder blade directly, and the blade entered the armor and stuck on the bone.

Imagawa Yoshimoto's martial arts are not low, but he lacks experience in fighting on the front line, and he doesn't know how to exchange injuries for injuries.

Maeda Toshiie endured the severe pain and grabbed the blade of the knife on his shoulder with his left hand. A shot from his right hand stabbed out and pierced Imagawa Yoshimoto's throat.

"Imagawa Yoshimoto was taken by my Maeda Toshiya!"
