In the previous battle with the Shibata Katsuie, Gao Xianda annihilated the living force of 2,000 people of the Oda family with fewer victories. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and he then led the capture of Kiyoju Castle, the main city of the Oda family, without any damage.

These actions demonstrated his strong leadership, fighting ability, and strategy.

The 300 cavalrymen who still retained their fighting strength under his command now had an almost fanatical admiration for him. When they heard that they were going to fight with Gao Xianda again, they were all full of passion, and even if the enemy was several times their size, they were not afraid.

They are cavalry, they move fast, and under the acceleration effect of Gao Xianda, the speed is comparable to that of modern motorized troops. And they've already walked around the territory of Owari, so it's only a two-day journey in total, so naturally they won't get lost again. They soon came to the castle of Narumi Castle.

Sure enough, there was a team besieging the castle, looking at the banner on it, which was printed with the coat of arms of the Oda family.

Gao Xianda roughly counted it, and there were still about 2,000 troops left, and the military appearance was neat, and it didn't look like the momentum that could be maintained after continuous attacks.

The Oda family really has capable people!

But what is strange is that although this force was stationed under the city of Narumi, it did not attack with the whole army, but surrounded it, and only sent small groups of troops to carry out harassing attacks, and after shooting down from the city, these small forces retreated, all in order not to cause casualties.

At that time, there were only 100 defenders left in Narumi Castle, and if the Oda army had attacked with all their might, I am afraid that Narumi Castle would have been captured by this time. But the loss of a few hundred people is inevitable.

However, the number of bows and arrows in Narumi Castle is limited, so if they wait for them to run out of bows and arrows before attacking the castle, the damage can be minimized.

And what is more strange is that the direction of the camp of the Oda army is not towards Narumi Castle, but with their backs to Narumi Castle, as if Narumi Castle is not their main enemy, but someone will attack them from their rear.

"Surround the point and send reinforcements." These four words popped up in Gao Xianda's head.

However, it is clear that the Oda army does not have the strength to encircle and send reinforcements. First, their troops were not enough to wrap all of Narumi Castle, and second, their current main city had been lost, and the passage for the transportation of grain and grass had also been cut off, and their grain and grass could not support the siege at all, and even the grain and grass in Narumi City were much more abundant than those of the Oda family. At the very least, there are fewer people and less food consumption.

"There must be a ghost in this." Gao Xianda said in his heart, "I don't believe that Oda Nobunaga would think that after I took Cheongju City, I would not defend it, so I would have to come and attack them." He must be guarding against someone else! ”

Therefore, Gao Xianda directly led the cavalry team and retreated to the Shanzhao Temple, which was closest to Narumi City, to rest.

After the three pillars of the Oda army were captured by Gao Xianda, there were defenders left, so Gao Xianda was not afraid at all. Moreover, the supplies inside the fortress are quite abundant, and these cavalry do not have to worry about eating and drinking, which is better than the Oda army sleeping outside.

"Sneak attack, sneak attack, only sneaky is an attack! Since you think I might sneak up on you and wary of me, then I'm not going! Gao Xianda thought, "If you attack Narumi City at this speed and plan to capture it, then you can count it as your ability." Narumi Castle is what I gave you! ”

Gao Xianda didn't believe that the 20,000 troops of the Imagawa family were all killed by Oda Nobunaga! He can attack Narumi Castle so leisurely.

Since the Zenshoji Temple is called the Zenshoji Temple, it is naturally built next to the Zenshoji Temple. Most temples in Japan are built on mountains, such as Ishiyama Honganji Temple and Hieiyama Enryakuji Temple. Although Zenshoji Temple is not that famous, it was also built on a hill. And the reason why it was built here is also because the terrain here is relatively high, and you can see the panoramic view of Narumi Castle downward, and the distance of the line section is only two miles, which is completely for Narumi Castle and built a fortification that can be attacked, retreated, and defended.

This time, the Oda family built the barrage to finally use it against themselves.

Gao Xianda ordered the soldiers to eat a full meal of war, rest well, refrain from drinking, feed the horses, polish their swords and guns, and prepare for battle. And keep the sentries to climb to a high place to monitor the movements of the Oda army at any time.

If the Oda army made any unusual moves, including launching a general attack on Narumi Castle, they had to report it to him.

Sure enough, in the evening, a sentry hurriedly called Gao Xianda.

"My lord, it's a fight!" The sentry said.

"Really?" Gao Xianda hurriedly climbed up, jumped onto the wall, and sure enough, he saw the flames of the Oda family's army.

By the light of the fire, Gao Xianda could see that it was not the soldiers of Narumi Castle who were fighting the Oda army. They were too few in number, and of course they didn't dare to attack it. Rather, it was a group of soldiers on the periphery under the banner of the Imagawa family.

"I'll just say that the soldiers of our Imagawa family can't die!" Gao Xianda laughed, "Whoever dares to fight the Oda family head-on, I admire him as a warrior, and when I go back, I will reward him well." ”

Then Gao Xianda sent the order to all the cavalry to get up, put on their armor, and prepare for battle.

Next, Gao Xianda led this cavalry, set off from Shanzhao Temple, and rushed out of the mountain.

"Our target is the flank of the Oda family." Gao Xianda told the soldiers, "Attack their weak flanks and disrupt their formation." We don't have the advantage in numbers, but we can help our allies change the tide of battle. ”

"Yes!" The knights naturally obeyed Gao Xianda's words.

The effect of Gao Xianda's combination of people and horses is really strong, and the distance of the line section of the two-mile road, if you count the mountain road around the curve, is actually not short, but Gao Xianda They still didn't take a few minutes to arrive.

"What we want is Oda Nobunaga's head!" Gao Xianda shouted, drew his mace, and rushed into the Oda army first.

There were indeed capable men in Oda's army, and they even thought of the possibility that the flanks might be attacked.

There are a lot of tripwires and rejections here.

The so-called rejection of horses is a barricade that sharpens the wood and ties it together. If the horse hits it upright, it will inevitably kill itself. And if the horse stops, without the speed of the cavalry, there is no advantage in the face of the infantry.

And behind the rejection of the horses there was a small detachment of infantry with spears, which defended. Behind them, there was even a team of muskets!

The fortifications of the Oda family can be so high-end.

It was already dark, and Gao Xianda and they naturally couldn't see such a complex facility in the distance. By the time Gao Xianda saw the rejection, it was too late.

He hurriedly reined in his horse, causing the cavalry behind him to slow down as well.

Even if you don't attack the enemy's troops, you can't let the horse crash into the horse and kill it!
