Inside the Shibata Katsuya's coffin, the material hoarding is still very rich, and the rice and water are ready-made, and they are prepared for 2,000 people. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info There are also some condiments such as miso.

Gao Xianda ordered the cavalry to cook on their own. Soon hot white rice was served. After the Great War, it was a rare delicacy to have hot rice served with salted fish and miso soup.

But now is the time of war, and Gao Xianda ordered them not to be careless, and the wine cannot be drunk.

The soldiers had their own division of labor, some went out to clean the battlefield, some went to mow the grass and feed the horses, and they were all busy.

Gao Xianda took some tea out and invited Shibata Katsuya to taste tea together.

Although Shibata Katsuie was a defeated general, Gao Xianda also admired his tactical thinking and combat bravery.

If his ambush hadn't been discovered in advance, his five hundred cavalry would have been annihilated.

Moreover, in terms of frontal combat, if it were not for Gao Xianda's fierce combat effectiveness, the cavalry under his command would not have taken advantage of the infantry of Shibata Katsuya. In addition, even if the wall has been breached, there are still 5 dead soldiers standing outside the door of Shibata Katsuya, which shows Shibata Katsuie's ability and personal charm.

Gao Xianda put on the posture of a junior and asked Shibata Katsuya for advice.

But in fact, Shibata Katsuya is the one who was subdued, so naturally he can't make any gestures.

Gao Xianda and his retainers have also learned some tea ceremony techniques, although they are not proficient, but they will not make mistakes in basic movements. And he also has a good tea set like "Yamai Shoulder Rush" in his hand, which is also a rare enjoyment for a rough person like Shibata Katsuya.

So it's much easier for two people to communicate.

Gao Xianda didn't just want to recruit him, or simply wanted to learn something. He also asked Shibata Katsuya about the situation of the Oda family.

"What do you think of the Oda family's strength compared to my Imagawa family?" Gao Xianda asked.

"The Imagawa family came this time and claimed to have launched an army of 100,000, so we naturally don't believe it. But according to my guess, at least 20,000 should be no problem. Shibata Katsuya said.

His guess was very accurate, although the Imagawa family claimed to be a hundred thousand troops, but in fact there were only 25,000 people, and this had to include the army of the forward, the army of the queen, the army conscripted in each city, and the army stationed in Narumi Castle and Dataka Castle.

"Then do you guess how many troops does the Oda family have if they dare to be enemies of the Imagawa family?" Katsuya Shibata asked.

"At least 10,000 according to my guess?" Gao Xianda Road.

"Wrong." Shibata Katsuie shook his head.

"Eight thousand?" Gao Xianda asked again.

"Still wrong." Shibata Katsuie said, "The Oda family simply can't mobilize so many troops. In fact, there were less than 5,000 people in full action. ”

"Five thousand people dare to confront our Imagawa family's 20,000 army?" Gao Xiandaqi said.

"And two thousand elite soldiers are dead here." Shibata Katsuie smiled bitterly, "So I think I'm a sinner." The future of the Oda family may be in my hands. ”

"No, you've done your best." Gao Xianda said, "This ambush of yours itself is well designed, the front is blocked by the road, the back is an ambush, and the mountains on both sides are pre-placed archers. If the 500 of us are trapped in it, I'm afraid none of us will be able to get out. If my father's team had come in by accident, even a force of 10,000 men might not have been able to get out. ”

Shibata Katsuya smiled bitterly: "I do have such thoughts, but ideas can't replace reality." You have seen through my plan. ”

But in fact, although Imagawa Yoshimoto's main team was 10,000 men when it set out from Sunpu Castle, when they arrived at Okazaki Castle, it was inevitable that some soldiers would be left in this large city.

If there are a few more people left in Dataka Castle and Narumi Castle, the strength of this team will not be too much. There is a good chance that this ambush will succeed.

So Gao Xianda's heart moved, and asked: "The terrain here is quite complicated, there are many mountains and forests, and it is inevitable that there will be ambushes, so don't blame me for being careful." Is this the barrel room? ”

Shibata Katsuie shook his head and said, "Although the terrain here is also complicated, it is not a narrow room. Maybe it's because you're cavalry, you're going too fast. If you come from your side, the barrel is in the southeast, so it should have already passed. This is Tange, Nakajima over there, and Zenshoji Temple over there, all of which are used to surround Narumi Castle. ”

Gao Xianda said: "So, this is not far from Minghai City?" ”

"That's nature." Shibata Katsuie nodded and said, "If you wait until dawn tomorrow and look southeast, you should be able to see Narumi Castle." It stands to reason that you're coming from the east, so you shouldn't miss Narumi Castle? As for the barrel narrow room you mentioned, it's still east of Narumi Castle. ”

"This damn guide." Gao Xianda scolded. It seems that he misled himself with a wrong map, otherwise, he would have been drinking tea with Okabe Motoshin in Narumi Castle right now.

But fortunately, he accidentally saw through the ambush of Shibata Katsuya, and after taking down Danxia, it was equivalent to relieving the siege of Narumi Castle. After entering the city, I have to ask Okabe Motonobu to thank him.

Gao Xianda thought in his heart, but faintly felt that something was wrong.

Since he walked fast, he missed Narumi Castle and came to Tange first. But in fact, Imagawa Yoshimoto's army should still be behind. Based on the speed, it is likely that we have only just reached the barrel narrow.

Although Shibata Katsuie led a force here, he didn't see any trace of Oda Nobunaga during the whole process, and maybe he would still attack Imagawa Yoshimoto in the barrel narrow.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt restless.

The news of the ninja trio should not be wrong, according to historical development, Imagawa Yoshimoto died under the raid of Oda Nobunaga in Barrel Sasa. And he was indeed on his way to the barrel room now.

However, Gao Xianda has withdrawn his troops now, and it is obviously too late to rescue in the past. He could only hope that after destroying the living forces of Shibata Katsuie, Oda Nobunaga's troops failed due to insufficient numbers.

What he is most afraid of now is actually plot killing. If Oda Nobunaga can successfully launch a surprise attack by relying on his protagonist's aura in the case of insufficient numbers, then I'm afraid Imagawa Yoshimoto really won't survive.

Gao Xianda can only rely on drinking tea to relieve his nervousness. But the more I drink tea, the more I can't sleep.

Gao Xianda was idle anyway, so he simply pulled Shibata Katsuya to talk at night.

Shibata Katsuie, as a general of the defeated army, is actually under a lot of pressure. Let him sleep at night, I'm afraid he won't be able to sleep either.

So the two of them kept chatting, from martial arts to military science, from customs to local food, and they chatted very speculatively.

If it weren't for their hostile stance, others would have been able to assume that they were old friends who had been friends for many years!
