Chapter 141: The Battle of the Barrel Narrows (1)
"Return?" Wang Ying listened to Yang Guang's words and asked very strangely, "Let's not go to Jiafei?" ”
"I'm not going!" Yang Guang said resolutely: "Jia Fei can go at any time, but this matter in front of him is a very rare opportunity. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Brother Zhao, do you mean the Imagawa family's Shangluo?" Ye Zong, who was called in a hurry, was full of doubts, and asked a little strangely: "Are you going to sell the arms to Imagawa Yoshimoto?" ”
"Quite the opposite." Yang Guang said with a confident smile, "I'm ready to help Oda Nobunaga." ”
"Oda Nobunaga......" Ye Zongman thought for a while, remembering that he seemed to have heard this name from somewhere, and asked tentatively, "Is it the daimyo who has just succeeded to the throne not long after being called the Great Fool of Owari?" ”
Yang Guang read the history books of modern time and space, and knew that this daimyo called "Oda Nobunaga" did act a little absurdly when he was young, but he was a very ambitious and capable guy, if it wasn't for the rebellion and burning of his subordinates in Honnoji Temple, he was definitely qualified to unify the whole of Japan.
In the history of modern time and space, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who invaded Korea after the unification of Japan, was a servant who dried Oda Nobunaga's shoes, and Tokugawa Ieyasu, who founded the Tokugawa shogunate for hundreds of years, was Oda Nobunaga's ally and younger brother. It can be said that if Oda Nobunaga hadn't died, there would have been nothing to do with these two people later.
To travel from Imagawa Yoshimoto's territory to Kyoto, the Owari area of Oda Nobunaga is the only way to go. When Imokawa Yoshimoto mobilized 25,000 men to attack Oda Nobunaga, the latter's combined forces were only 4,000, so almost everyone believed that the weak Oda Nobunaga would be defeated and killed.
However, what no one expected was that Oda Nobunaga turned the situation around through a miraculous night attack, not only killing Imagawa Yoshimoto and dismantling the crisis, but also rising to become a huge force. Just like a stock that has fallen to the bottom, knowing that it will bottom out soon, why doesn't Yang Guang buy more tun?
It's just that these details, Yang Guang is inconvenient to tell Ye Zongman and Wang Ying, because there are too many things that can't be said, and the more he explains, the more troublesome it becomes, he is just a little vague, but he said with great certainty: "I'm optimistic about this Oda Nobunaga, I think I can bet on him." ”
Ye Zongman thought about it for a while with a solemn face, and then he spoke: "Brother Zhao, you want to seek the country, are you ready to fail?" ”
Yang Guang knew the meaning of Ye Zongman's words, and if he helped Oda Nobunaga win, naturally everything would be easy to say. But once the failure is heavy, I am afraid that it will be difficult to continue the arms business in a short period of time, after all, the more than 200 people who went to Japan this time are already the largest force that Ye Zongman can muster in his hands, without them, Yang Guang can't drive a ship to Japan by himself, and then carry the arms along the street to sell, right?
Yang Guang looked at Ye Zongman and replied in a confident tone: "If the sky doesn't want it, I'll take it myself!" ”
This sentence may sound too arrogant to others, but Ye Zongman and Wang Ying have seen all kinds of peculiarities about Yang Guang, and they take it for granted. Seeing that Yang Guang had made up his mind, Ye Zongman slapped his palm hard and said, "Okay, according to Brother Zhao's wishes, we will set off immediately." ”
The preparations that had been in progress were immediately halted, and all the men sent out were recruited, and half a day later, the four Fubunes set sail again and sailed again, returning to the Owari area along the route they had come, and docking at a place called Nagashima.
Yang Guang asked Ye Zongman to rest here, and he personally went out to find out the news. After arriving in a no-man's land in the wild, Yang Guang cast a "summoning servant" to control an eagle to soar in the sky, while he himself first used "flying techniques" to lift into the air, and then used "invisibility techniques" to conceal his body to avoid being seen by others.
People fly in the air, although the speed of travel is not fast, but it saves physical strength, and allows Yang Guang to walk a straight distance regardless of the terrain and appear to the edge of the battlefield as soon as possible to observe the situation.
With the help of the eagle's field of vision, Yang Guang quickly grasped the current situation of this war from an aerial perspective. Imagawa Yoshimoto's vanguard forces had already divided into several lines and launched an attack on several parts of Oda Nobunaga's territory.
This kind of army is not very large, usually only a few hundred soldiers are stationed, and it is impossible to withstand the huge army of Imagawa Yoshimoto, Yang Guang estimates that they will all be captured in two or three days at most.
Returning to the outside of Long Island City, Yang Guang met Ye Zongman and Wang Ying, and after a brief introduction to the battle situation, Ye Zongman left 100 people to guard the fortune ship and munitions, and led 100 carefully selected sailors with better marksmanship, and followed Yang Guang on the journey.
While Yang Guang was desperately hurrying on his side, Oda Nobunaga's residence and Cheongju City were holding a military meeting. Imagawa Yoshimoto's army was fierce and had already conquered two fortresses on the border, and the generals of the Oda family, who were guarding the fortresses, were killed on the spot.
With the offensive of the Imagawa army, it will soon be possible to uproot all these troops, and when the time comes, the combined forces will besiege Kiyoshu Castle, and the more than 2,000 people who have been barely mobilized by Oda Nobunaga's side will not be able to resist it at all.
Since this battle was several years ahead of the history of modern time and space, Oda Nobunaga, who had just succeeded to the throne not long ago, could not fully control his territory, so the forces he could mobilize and gather were much smaller than the history of modern time and space.
When the military council had been in session for a whole day, the retainers of the Oda clan were arguing with their own opinions, but they could not come up with a useful solution. Seeing that it was getting late, Oda Nobunaga stood up without saying a word and left, ending the pointless meeting in this way.
Back in the back hall, Oda Nobunaga dismissed everyone around him and secretly met with the ninja leader he had sent: "Where is Imagawa Yoshimoto's main camp?" ”
"I would like to inform my lord, the 5,000 people of Imagawa Yoshimoto's main camp are stationed in the barrel room today." The ninja leader said quickly.
At first glance, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but in fact, it is not conducive to the stationing of large armies, because once attacked, the soldiers in front and behind cannot be quickly mobilized to meet the battle, and completely lose the advantage of troops.
Oda Nobunaga knew very well that he was weak and had to take a risk to win, and after learning the news, he knew that his opportunity had come and made a decision without hesitation.
"Fifty years on earth...... It's like a dream...... Is there such an immortal one? After Oda Nobunaga said this, he called out to his attendants, and with only five men, he rode out of the castle and disappeared into the darkness of the night.
