The torrential rain and thunder drowned out most of the shouting and killing, and when they reached the mountains, they sounded like little more than a bit of noisy noise. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Tsk! Are these miscellaneous soldiers starting to make trouble again? A retainer of the Imagawa family heard the voice and said with some unhappiness.

"Cut, these miscellaneous soldiers, they don't have much ability to fight, and their ability to make trouble is quite great." Another retainer echoed it unhappily.

The Imagawa Army's 40,000-strong army was composed of Suruga, Toe, and Mikawa, as well as many wanderers, ronins, bandits, and wild samurai. There are all kinds of characters. Therefore, from the time the troops were sent to the present, these people do not know how many times they have made trouble.

Of course, they can't make much trouble, after all, the Imagawa army has such a huge force here, and if the samurai of the Imagawa family come forward, they won't even have a chance to escape. But fights and things like that, happen almost every day.

For this situation, the Imagawa family, from Imagawa Yoshimoto to many retainers, had only one attitude and ignored the ...... Hawkers,Anyway, as long as it's not someone from the Imagawa family.,What about other people.。

Although most of the miscellaneous troops had already been sent to attack the Narumi and Atsuta defensive lines, the first formation of the mountain was still composed of miscellaneous soldiers. After all, there were too many miscellaneous soldiers, and it was impossible for Imagawa Yoshimoto to keep all the elites by his side.

"Quiet ......" A flat voice came, which immediately startled the two people who were still talking, and turned their heads to see that it was Imagawa Yoshimoto.

"My lord! How did you get out? Hurry into the sedan chair to avoid the rain, in case you ......," the retainer persuaded in a panic. After the death of Taihara Yukisai, Imagawa Yoshimoto's prestige reached an unprecedented level. This is both a plus and a disadvantage, because once something happens to Imagawa Yoshimoto, there will be no one in the Imagawa family who can hold their feet.

Imagawa Shin? Hawkers, although he has a good name and the level of internal affairs is not bad, he is too young compared to Imagawa Yoshimoto, and he has never proven himself in other aspects except internal affairs.

It's just that Imagawa Yoshimoto didn't seem to hear the retainer's persuasion at all, and just waved his hand to shut him up. "Mizo ......"

"Yes!" Yazo appeared in front of Imagawa Yoshimoto and responded in a deep voice, and then ran quickly to the edge of the mountaintop. After a while, he ran back again, "Your Highness! It's an enemy attack! Because the distance is too far and the scene is too chaotic, I can't see who the enemy general is, and I don't know how many people there are! Yazo half-knelt in front of Imagawa Yoshimoto and said in a deep voice.

"What?! Enemy attack?! When the two retainers heard this, they immediately showed strange looks. You must know that now in the Narumi and Atsuta generations, the Imagawa army is fighting with the Oda army, with the strength of the Oda family, where do they have the extra troops to sneak attack them? And more importantly, almost all the troops of the Imagawa Army along the way, how did they run over?

It's just that before they could figure it out, Imagawa Yoshimoto spoke, "You two, hurry up and gather everyone." ”

"Yes!"

"Mizo, is there a way to contact the others?"

"I'm sorry, but it's impossible to notify other troops about this kind of weather in a short period of time......," Yazo whispered.

"Hmm...... Let's go down......" Imagawa Yoshimoto nodded when he heard this.

"Yes!"

After Yazo disappeared, Imagawa Yoshimoto looked ahead expressionlessly, "Abandon the fortified city of Kiyoshu and go to defend Atsuta Shrine...... did not send any reinforcements, and let the family capture the four pillars of Marune...... With Atsuta and Narumi as the line of defense, most of the family's troops were contained......"

Thinking of this, Imagawa Yoshimoto suddenly smiled, "Oda Nobunaga, it seems that your purpose is to lead me to this barrel of Sayama...... Hehe, this is all mountains and forests, and the roads are long and narrow to not gather too many soldiers, so it is indeed a good place for sneak attacks...... If I had been careless and had stopped on the trail, I'd have been killed by you, right? ”

Thinking about it, Imagawa Yoshimoto raised his head and looked at the torrential rain that still showed no signs of stopping, "Moreover, it seems that even the heavens are on your side......"

Slowly walked back to the sedan chair and sat down, looking at the dozens of retainers gathered in front of him, Imagawa Yoshimoto's expression became solemn, "However, you want to kill me Imagawa Yoshimoto...... But that's not going to work......"

Thinking of this, Imagawa Yoshimoto looked at the many retainers in front of him, and said in a very flat tone, "Everyone, now that the Oda army is storming the mountain, the purpose is probably my head......"

"But...... This is also our chance, I'm afraid...... The general who led the army to attack the family was Oda Nobunaga himself......"

"Go ahead...... The pillars of the Imagawa family...... After today, Owari is the thing in the family's pocket...... The family proclaims the law of the kingdom with its own strength...... It's time to ...... Let the world hear the voice of the family......" Imagawa Yoshimoto's mobilization sounded without the slightest momentum, and his tone was flat, as if he was just repeating something. But in this way, the hearts of these people, who were still a little flustered, became calm, and then became hot.

"Oh! Oh! Oh! Many retainers responded loudly.

Yamashita.

Under the onslaught of the Oda army, the Imagawa army retreated again and again, and was soon broken through the first formation. At such a time, if it retreats, it can be said that it is completely impossible for the Imagawa army to react. But obviously, Oda Nobunaga, who had worked so hard and even sacrificed several important ministers, would never have accepted this result.

"Keep rushing! Break through the back two formations! Fight your way into the enemy's main line! Oda Nobunaga kept shouting, although his voice could barely reach 10 meters on the battlefield filled with all kinds of noises...... However, this did not prevent Oda Jun from understanding what he meant.

"Kill!" Oda Yoshinobu once again took the lead alone, leading the Shinigami to launch a fierce attack on the second formation of the Imagawa army guarding the mountainside.

It's just that this second formation is obviously not so easy to fight......

The generals of the second formation are Katsuyama Nagaga and Anhara Motomasa, who are not famous generals, but they are both battle-hardened veterans. They are always able to make a rough judgment about the battle situation through their years of experience.

"The enemy army seems to be less than 2,000 people, and our army in the Tsubakusama generation has more than 5,000 people, although the enemy broke through the first formation because of the sneak attack, but the superiority in strength has not changed." Anhara Motomasa looked at the battlefield not far away and said in a deep voice.

"Yes, and I believe that the lord should also receive the information of the enemy's attack now, and as long as a certain amount of reinforcements are sent at that time, the second formation will not be able to be broken." Katsuyama Nagaga chimed in.

"Well, besides, it's not surprising that this rain is coming down so suddenly. And when the time comes, the troops in front and rear of the main house will quickly notice the abnormality here......" Motomasa Anhara said again.

"So...... Pass the order! You are not allowed to step forward, and you are not allowed to retreat timidly! Everybody stays in formation! Just hold your ground! Anhara Motomasa gave a loud order.

---------------------------- gorgeous dividing line---------------------------------

"Hold your ground!" A Imagawa family ashigaru shouted, but in the next second, a white light flashed, and his body was split in half in an instant.

"Damn, why are there more and more enemies?!" Oda Yoshinobu didn't care about the poor Ashigaru at all, just watched more and more Imagawa troops on the mountain and cursed secretly. Along the way, he didn't know how many enemies he had killed, but even so, the enemies in front of him didn't seem to be any less.

"Huh?!" Suddenly, Oda Yoshinobu's pupils shrank, and he shouted violently, "It's the archers!" Attention everyone! As soon as he finished speaking, a rain of arrows flew from the mountain along with the rain.

These arrows, for Oda Yoshinobu, naturally can't do the slightest damage, the god-killing halberd is wielded at will, and none of the arrows can enter two meters in front of him. And he blocked it easily, but the others were not so strong. Because of the falling rain, splashing muddy water, and flying blood, many people's vision was more or less obstructed, and even the Grim Reapers, who were specially trained to deal with arrows, were injured by this almost non-stop rain of arrows.

However, the killing ...... Apparently not the real purpose of the Imagawa Army.

"Damn! If it goes on like this, it will not be possible to advance at all! Maeda Toshiya shouted angrily.

The constant attack of arrows, coupled with the strong position on the mountain, made the Oda army completely blocked in front of the second formation.

"What to do?! What to do?! Oda Nobunaga looked anxiously at the mountain, and various thoughts kept turning in his mind, but he thought about it for a long time, but he didn't come up with any countermeasures. After all, there is only one way up the mountain, and if you can't break through here, everything is nonsense.

Oda Nobunaga is constantly thinking of ways here, and Oda Yoshinobu is the same over there.

"Bastard! If you go on like this, you'll lose! Oda Yoshinobu clutched the god-killing halberd, thinking anxiously in his heart. He knew very well that if Imagawa Yoshimoto was not killed in this battle, then the Oda family would disappear into history. It's just that like Oda Nobunaga, he doesn't have much to do about the current situation.

High ground, twice as many troops as you, unshakable formations, and gradually recovering morale. All the advantages of the Oda army had completely disappeared when they rushed to the front of the second formation.

"Bastard! There must be a way! There is definitely a way! In history, my brother can win, but I can't win if there is no reason! Oda Yoshinobu thought frantically, constantly staring around.

Suddenly, he seemed to have discovered something, and hurriedly asked Li Huamei beside him, "Huamei, why aren't there many enemy troops there?!" ”

"There?!" Li Huamei looked in the direction pointed by Oda Yoshinobu, and then replied helplessly, "My lord, there is a dense forest, and there is no road to go at all." Moreover, there are too many poisonous insects, poisonous snakes, and invisible dangers in the dense forest, so naturally there will be no enemies......"

"Then if we go up the hill over there!!" Oda Yoshinobu's tone became quick.

"Impossible! There's no way to accommodate the army there......" Li Huamei said halfway through, and suddenly reacted, "Not bad!" If it's just a small force, it's not impossible to go there! And this rainstorm, I believe that those poisonous insects and poisonous snakes will also hide......"

"That's it!" Oda Yoshinobu didn't wait for Li Huamei to finish speaking, and shouted violently, "Keiji! Go for a long time! Nearby! Loyalty! Bring all the troops here! ”

After a while, the Grim Reaper ran over under the leadership of Keiji Maeda and others. Hawkers, because they were in a stalemate, the Grim Reapers, who were not good at positional warfare, were naturally recruited.

"Qingci, Xingjiu, Zuo Near, Zhongsheng! The four of you will lead the Grim Reaper into the dense forest to find a place to go up the mountain!! Oda Yoshinobu said quickly.

"This ......" Hearing this, the four of Maeda Keiji were all stunned, and subconsciously looked at Li Huamei. There is no way, in such a situation of being surrounded by enemy groups, even scattering troops? And listening to what Oda Yoshinobu meant, it seems that it doesn't matter how they go up the mountain at all. Well, even Yukihisa Shiraki, who hasn't spent much time in the war book, understands that this kind of tactic will definitely not appear in any war book. Or rather, it's not a tactic at all.

"There's no time to explain, execute the order now! Remember! There is only one goal! It's Yoshimoto Imagawa's head! Oda Yoshinobu shouted.

"Yes!" Hearing this, the four of them immediately responded. Then he led the people out of the main army.

"Yoshishin, what's going on?!" The abnormality here immediately attracted Oda Nobunaga's attention, and he hurriedly rushed over and asked.

"I'm going up the mountain from the jungle!" Oda Yoshinobu said briefly.

"This ...... Good! That's it! I order it right away! Oda Nobunaga was stunned when he heard this, and then reacted. Well, it is worthy of the man who knows Oda Yoshinobu best, and his reaction is fast.

"Hmmm! Yoshimoto Imagawa must not be allowed to run! Oda Yoshinobu left such a sentence, and immediately took Li Huamei and Tsuru into the dense forest.

Oda Yoshinobu had just left, and Oda Nobunaga had also conveyed the order. Well, what does this command say? Shibata Katsuya and other old ministers were directly stunned, and after a lifetime of fighting, they had never heard of this kind of warfare. However, just like Oda Nobunaga just now, Maeda Toshiie and others, who often messed with Oda Yoshinobu, reacted immediately.

"Not bad! The purpose of this battle is only to kill Imagawa Yoshimoto, and there is no need for us to break through one after another! As long as you kill the mountain and cut Imagawa Yoshimoto, the problem will be solved! Maeda Toshiya shouted, then ignored the others, and led a few people directly into the dense forest.

"Just like the dog said! Everyone, enter the jungle at once! Remember! There is only one goal, the head of Yoshimoto Imagawa! Oda Nobunaga shouted, then jumped off his horse and took his surname into the dense forest.

When Oda Nobunaga disappeared into the dense forest, many retainers of the Oda family also reacted, and it didn't take long for the Oda army to disappear in front of the second formation of the Imagawa army.

"This ......" Anhara Motomasa looked at the scene in front of him stupidly, and his brain couldn't react. They ran away? But why did you enter the jungle? ”

Katsuyama Changjia was also dumbfounded, but unfortunately, no one could answer his question.
