Chapter 201 Timing
The wind and rain are getting stronger, and Oda Nobunaga is also waiting for her military strength.
The entire 3,000 troops were standing troops without peasant soldiers.
She nodded with satisfaction, especially Shibata Katsuie did not disappoint her and brought three Shibata reserve teams.
"Kwon Roku, you're good."
Shibata Katsuie bowed.
"Die for Your Highness."
"Let's go, go to the Barrel Narrow."
The army braved the wind and rain and marched southeast, avoiding Narumi Castle to the west.
But the army she marched all the way was for the city to see clearly.
The castle Yamaguchi Kyotsugu betrayed Oda Nobunaga just now, and he was worried in his heart, and said to Okabe Motonobu who came to assist in the defense.
"Oda Nobunaga went to the southeast, and he must have wanted to raid His Highness Imagawa's main team, and we can't sit idly by."
Okabe Motoshin disagreed, and replied.
"Narumi Castle has just surrendered, and the people of the Oda family inside and outside the city are all inside, and cleaning up the interior and defending the city is the most important thing we need to do.
His Highness Imagawa is walking with the army, and we don't need to do anything. It's good to send an envoy to report the news, so that His Highness has vigilance. ”
Yamaguchi Kyoji thought that this was indeed the truth.
The Imagawa family had 25,000 people. Once he was prepared, Oda Nobunaga's army was exhausted, and he didn't want to get close to Imagawa Yoshimoto, so he agreed.
Envoy Fan traveled south, prepared to take the Otakakagawa River next to the Marune Tsuna, turned east, and entered the Tsukasa Mountains to find Imagawa Yoshimoto to report the news.
Okabe Motonobu asked her to inform, and Matsudaira Motoyasu, who occupied Marone behind Narumi Castle.
Matsudaira Motoyasu received a message from the envoy and sighed.
When he was about to turn around and leave, he was hacked to death by Matsudaira Motoyasu in the shogunate, and there was only Hondo on the left and right.
"Your Highness, what are you??"
"It's pitiful, I met the stragglers of the Oda family on the way, and I suffered an accident."
Matsudaira Motoyasu said lightly, glanced at Hondo several times, and saw her nodding.
"It's really pitiful, it's just that it delayed Okabe-sama's summons, and it's a little inappropriate."
Matsudaira Motoyasu returned the knife to the sheath, ordered the outside of the shogunate to come in near Qimoto, and carried the body down.
"yes, so when I feel something is wrong, I'll send an envoy again.
It's just a waste of time, and I don't know if Oda Nobunaga has already launched a surprise attack. ”
The two reached a tacit understanding.
If Imagawa Yoshimoto wins this battle, the Matsudaira family will be reduced from a subordinate to a subordinate, and they will lose their roots, Nishimikawa.
Even if Imagawa Yoshimoto makes compensation, it will still be more valuable than Nishimikawa, where he has lived for generations?
The samurai family is the most important family business, and they value the land very seriously.
The Matsudaira family has been deeply involved in Nishimikawa for three generations, and now Imagawa Yoshimoto is going to pout the roots of the Matsudaira family. Matsudaira Motoyasu was indifferent on the outside, and he already hated it in his heart.
Where is this Imagawa Ichido identity exchangeable? It's just that Imagawa Yoshimoto's fist is too big to resist.
Now Oda Nobunaga has a heart, and the Mikawa army is not in the Tsubazama Mountains. She was moved and ready to see the wind.
I hope that the sister of Yoshigashi, who I haven't seen for many years, can show her female wind to overturn Imagawa Yoshimoto, and give the Nishimikawa Matsudaira family a chance to breathe.
Of course, the risk of killing the envoy also needs to be considered.
The battlefield is chaotic, and it is common to die. Sending someone to report it later is at most a crime of delaying the military situation.
Although this kind of sin is serious, it is better to bear it than the great crime of maliciously delaying and causing the Imagawa family governor to be attacked.
"Honda-sama, did you say I did something wrong?"
Hondo shook his head several times.
"No matter what Your Highness does, it will be for the sake of Nishimikawa and for the Matsudaira family."
Matsudaira Motoyasu sighed in confusion, restrained his worries in his heart, and quietly waited for the wind and rain to pass.
Oda Nobunaga's army marched to Zenshoji Temple in the face of wind and rain, and the guardian of this place was Sakuma Governor Nobumori.
Sakuma Nobumori was one of the first retainers to favor Oda Nobunaga and was very trusted by Nobunaga.
"Nobu Shenghime, what's the situation?"
"Your Highness, the situation is very bad."
The war was urgent, and Sakuma Nobumori was too lazy to be polite and outspoken.
"The vanguard army of the Imagawa family has been discovered south of the Tegoshi River, and the Zenshoji Temple has 700 troops, and 300 people have been taken away by the two sides of His Highness.
Today, there are only 400 people in the bar, and the Nakajima on the other side of the river is almost unguarded. ”
Imagawa Yoshimoto chose to cross the banks of the river from the side of the barrel and take most of the army.
Then, from the mountains into the plains, the defense of both sides of the Tekoshi River has become the most important stronghold to stop the enemy.
Sakuma Nobumori didn't understand why Oda Nobunaga wanted to let the side of the flag take away the three hundred troops.
But as a loyal retainer, she still carried out Nobunaga's orders.
But at this time, Nobunaga came in person. She had to point it out and let the lord know it.
Oda Nobunaga was satisfied with Sakuma Nobumori's approach. That is, loyalty to the sovereign, but also a little strategy, this is what a powerful retainer should look like.
"Don't worry. I will leave Shibata Hime and her three reserves to cooperate with you in defense, and you must hold Zenshoji and Nakajima firmly defend. ”
The two hime bowed together.
"Hey."
"Others, follow me. Let's take the road of Sasaya Hayabusa and Chiaki Siniang's decisive assault.
They opened the door to victory for us! Let's go and bring the victory back! ”
At this time, the wind and rain on the top of the Barrel Sasama Mountain were getting stronger and stronger, and the Imagawa Yoshimoto main formation could barely be maintained.
The army was facing north, and the wind and rain were blowing from the sea in the northwest to the southeast, and the sergeant's eyes could not be opened.
Imagawa Yoshimoto looked at the sky, the rain was not light for a while, and the army would be crushed if it continued like this.
"Order the whole army to go down the mountain to take shelter from the rain, well, just go over there."
She pointed to the side of the Oda family's 300 troops that had assaulted before, since the ambush soldiers over there had died, it was safest to go there to repair.
At this time, the wind and rain were shaking, and the mountainous area of the barrel was inconvenient to communicate, and it was the time when she was in danger of getting out of the army.
Therefore, she needs to choose the safest place to shelter from the wind and rain, and then contact the various armies.
And the place where the ambush has been exhausted is the safest place.
Yoshimoto Imagawa thought triumphantly.
She didn't know that since she went up the mountain, there was a hidden mountain stream at the bottom of the mountain, and the Maeda sisters had been staring at her.
Although the sky was dark and the wind and rain were getting stronger, I could still vaguely see the movement of the main camp descending the mountain.
Maeda Toshihisa whispered to the Toshiya.
"She's coming down the mountain, can't we move?"
The Li family shook his head and said.
"No, I can't.
The assault of the Oda army just now only made her relax her nerves, but the flag of the main formation was not damaged.
We are eight Ji samurai, fifty Spo Ashigaru, not opponents. ”
Li Jiu was anxious.
"Wait? If she goes away, won't our arrangement be in vain?
Besides, this stormy day is a good opportunity, don't come out at this time, wait for when! ”
The Li family looked at her sister calmly and said firmly.
"Wait! Wait!
His Royal Highness Oda will not send only one army to send him to his death, there must be a follow-up.
Imagawa Yoshimoto will not go far, scurrying in the mountains and wilderness in the wind and rain, wouldn't he get lost.
She is the lord of the ten thousand vehicles, the governor of the Imagawa family, and must get in touch with the armies as soon as possible after the rain.
It's impossible to go far! ”
She was reasonable, and Lijiu nodded helplessly.
"Wait, wait, wait!"
Toshiya looked at the Imagawa Yoshimoto Honjin moving in the distance and said.
"Wait, it's coming, it's coming."
