Garner, Inaba Ryotsu held a broadsword and constantly commanded the troops to impact the position of the Oda army, but it was just ...... To his frustration, all this was useless. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoUnder the tight defense of the Oda army, the Saito army could not gain any advantage at all.

"Alas...... What the hell is the lord thinking? Inaba Ryotsu thought helplessly. For this sneak attack, he, like Mamoru Ando and others, was 100% disapproves. Because they didn't believe that Oda Nobunaga, who had suffered a dark loss once, would fall into the pit again. It's just that Saito Ryuxing's unquestionable tone and Ando's silence make him only obey Saito Ryuko's orders.

"However, it's not without benefits...... Inaba Ryotsu looked at the formation ahead, and suddenly shouted, "Go, send another 500 people to open an opening for me!" ”

Regardless of whether the sneak attack was successful or not, there was no doubt about the exhaustion of the Oda army, and in this pitch black night, the superiority of the Oda army's strength was reduced to a certain extent. If you can gain some advantage at this time, then tomorrow's battle will be much easier.

At the very least, the Oda army, which had fought all night, would not be able to attack the city with all its might, and when the time came, it should not be a problem to resist for a few more days with the defense of the castle.

"Yes!" A samurai shouted in response, and then led his army to the Oda army. The offensive of the Saito army increased by 500 people, which instantly brought a huge impact to the defense line of the Oda army. The two sides kept coming and going, desperately fighting for the front line that was only 1 or 2 meters.

"Tsk, that kid is crazy with Inaba Ryotsu? How desperate?! Shibata Katsuie thought as he looked at the constant impact of the formation. He was really inexplicable, if it was him, seeing the enemy's good garrison, he would naturally obediently go back and prepare to defend the city. And now, he couldn't understand why the Saito army still chose to attack in this situation. Do they really think that the night can compensate for their inferiority in numbers? Wouldn't it be better to stick to Ghana?

However, if you don't understand it, you can't understand it, which doesn't prevent Shibata Katsuya from making the most suitable choice, that is, to hold the ground. No matter what the situation, it's always easier to defend than to attack. "It's all guarded for me! Never let the enemy break through the formation! Shibata shouted.

In his opinion, as long as he persists, this night attack will only turn into a farce in the end. At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps behind him, and when he turned his head, it was Oda Yoshinobu and his men.

"Huh? Lord Yoshinobu, why aren't you in the lord's main position? Shibata Katsuya asked strangely, Oda Yoshinobu led the army back to the main camp after Oda Nobunaga came, so at this time, he should lead the army to protect Oda Nobunaga.

"Lord Shibata, the lord orders, let's attack Ghana with all our might!" Oda Yoshinobu walked up to Shibata Katsuie's side and whispered.

"What?!" Shibata Katsuie's eyes widened when he heard this, he never imagined that at such a time, Oda Nobunaga would make such a choice.

"This ......" Shibata Katsuya wanted to refuse when he heard this, after all, attacking the city at night is not a good choice. Not to mention that the Oda army's main camp was still being attacked at this time, although it was unlikely, but if something went wrong, it would be useless to capture Inabayama.

"Lord Shibata, don't worry about the lord's side, the Li family is here, and there are hundreds of iron artillery teams. And according to intelligence, the Saito army that came to the sneak attack was not very strong. Oda Yoshinobu hurriedly said, "And the lord has already made up his mind, even if you personally persuade Shibata-sama, I'm afraid you won't be able to stop the lord's decision." ”

"This ...... Alas, that's all it had to be! Shibata Katsuya heard this, and nodded helplessly. He also knew Oda Nobunaga's temper, and basically as long as he made up his mind, the nine cows couldn't pull it back. However, Oda Yoshinobu is indeed right, according to the previous information, if the reinforcements from the Inaba Mountains come to attack, then the troops are not as good as the Oda army. In the case of early precautions, it is basically impossible to have much impact on it.

"Pass my orders! The whole army is on the offensive! Take Ghana! Shibata Katsuie raised his broadsword and shouted.

"Attack! Take Ghana! ”

"Attack! Take Ghana! ”

In a matter of moments, Shibata Katsuie's order spread throughout the front line of the Oda army, and the Oda army, which was still trying to defend, immediately launched a counterattack. Soon after, the changes on the side of the Oda army were immediately reported to Inaba Ryotsu by the heralds.

"What's going on?! How did the Oda army counterattack?! Inaba Ryotsu looked at the herald kneeling on the ground in shock, obviously unable to believe his ears. But the truth did not allow Inaba Yoshitsu to hesitate, because he had already discovered the commotion of the Oda army in front.

"Yes! And according to the slogans shouted by the Oda army, it seems that they want to take the opportunity to take Ghana! ”

Hearing this, Inaba Ryotsu suddenly fell silent, and after a long time, he burst out laughing, "Hahahaha! Does the Oda family think that there is no one in the family?! Pass my order, and the whole army will go on the defensive! I want to see why that guy from Shibata Katsuya won Ghana! Inaba Ryotsu shouted coldly.

He is also a famous general of Mino, no matter how calm he is, he is also dignified. The Oda army was obviously attacked by the Saito family's troops, although it was blocked because it was guarded, but it still wanted to take the opportunity to capture Ghana, which simply didn't take him Inaba Ryotsu in his eyes.

"Yes!"

With Inaba Yoshimitsu's order, one after another orders were issued, and the Saito army of Ghana completed the transition from offensive to defensive in a short time.

"It is worthy of Inaba Ryotsu, the formation changed from offense to defense, but it did not reveal the slightest flaw. If you want to capture Ghana, I'm afraid it's not that simple. Shibata Katsuya sighed after listening to the herald's report.

It's not that he is angry with others to destroy his prestige, after all, it is difficult to fight at night, and long-range troops such as bows and arrows and iron cannons are almost completely unusable. Hawkers, the reason why Takigawa Kazuki was able to defeat the enemy with an iron cannon before was due to the fact that Nagai Michitoshi was not prepared to fight hard, so that the Oda army could easily withdraw.

And now, the defenders of Ghana and the Oda army are completely entangled, and in the darkness of the night, the vision is already greatly limited, which makes it difficult for the attacking side to exert all their strength. Even Shibata Katsuie, the commander-in-chief, could only rely on the heralds to get news from the front, because with it, he could see nothing but the soldiers who were constantly fighting under the reflection of the firelight.

Time passed, and the defenders of Ghana still held the line under the command of Inaba Yoshimitsu. As Shibata Katsuie suspected, it was almost impossible to break through the defense line with a similar number of people without being able to use too many tactics.

"Lord Shibata, it's not a way to go on like this, why don't you lead the army from the side, bypass from the side, and attack Ghana directly?" Oda Yoshinobu proposed, and after observing for a long time, he found that there was no place where the Death Gods could come in handy. If you attack by force, you may be able to open an opening, but then you will have to face the crazy encirclement and suppression of the Saito army. In this kind of dark night, the strength of the Grim Reaper has also been seriously affected.

And if you go around, it will be different, although it is impossible to observe the number of enemy troops in the dark, but according to the battle situation, I am afraid that even if not all the defenders of Ghana are dispatched, then most of them will come out. Moreover, Inaba Ryotsu was commanding outside the city at this time, and the defense inside the city must have been weakened a lot.

"Hmm...... Yes, but if you can't do anything, Yoshinobu-sama must not fall in love with war. Shibata Katsuya pondered for a moment and then replied.

"Hmm." Oda Yoshinobu answered, and then looked behind him, "Keiji, you come with me." ”

"Oh!" Keiji Maeda and the others shouted excitedly, after watching the excitement for so long, they couldn't help it.

"Huamei, you ......"

"My lord! Are we here just to see the excitement? Li Huamei and Tsuru didn't wait for Oda Yoshinobu to speak, and immediately retorted.

"Uh......" Oda Yoshinobu scratched his head in embarrassment when he heard this, and was silent for a while before muttering, "Then you must follow me closely." ”

Then, Oda Yoshinobu turned his head to look at Fernande again, "Fernande, your martial arts skills are not very high, follow us, don't get separated." ”

"Your Highness, rest assured! I will definitely protect Lord Fernand and the two mistresses! A voice came, and Oda Yoshinobu turned his head to look, but it was Emilio.

Well, since Emilio chose to become Fernand's retainer, he had hardly seen the fat man again. Now it seems that this fat man has long lost his original chubby appearance and is easy to bully, and has become a super strong man.

"Haha, Emilio, then please!" Yoshinobu Oda patted his big shoulder and laughed. Then he said no more, turned and led his troops into the darkness.

Shibata Katsuie stared in the direction where Oda Yoshinobu had disappeared, and after standing for a long time, he turned around and yelled, "Keep attacking me!" Don't give them a respite! ”

"Oh!"

At this time, Saito Ryuko was hidden in the darkness, frowning and looking at the battle between the two armies in front of him, he really couldn't understand, how could Oda Nobunaga dare to launch a counterattack in this situation? Isn't he afraid that he still has a backhand?

"My lord, if you continue to fight, it will only increase the casualties, so it's better to ......" Ando Mamoru said hesitantly.

"Look at it again, in this case, the Oda army does not dare to attack too fiercely. Defend yourself and lead the army to try, if it doesn't work, let's talk about it. Saito Ryuxing refused directly without thinking about it, and instead let Ando Mamoru lead the army to attack.

"This ...... It's ......" Mamoru Ando heard this, his eyes changed a few times, and finally swallowed all the words in his stomach.

Looking at the figure of Mamoru Ando leaving, a trace of coldness flashed in Saito Ryuxing's eyes, but then he returned to normal. In this dark night, no one noticed the strangeness of Saito Ryuxing just now.

At this moment, a ninja suddenly appeared beside Saito Ryuxing, "My lord! ”

"What happened to the other two?" Saito Ryuxing asked in a low voice.

"My lord, Lord Nagai's side is too fierce because the enemy's iron artillery team is too fierce, so I can only temporarily retreat and find another opportunity. And on Inaba-sama's side, the Oda army led by Shibata Katsuie also began a counteroffensive. ”

"Hmm......" Saito Ryuxing touched his chin and muttered in an inexplicable tone, "It's a bit unexpected, but it's a crooked hit......"

"Someone! Put up the flag, I'm going to go out in person! Saito Ryuko shouted, then drew his sword and rushed forward.

This time, the surrounding retainers were frightened, but when they wanted to stop it, they found that Saito Ryuxing had already gone away, so they could only hurriedly follow.

On the other side, Maeda Toshiya and others were constantly fighting, and suddenly heard a huge noise behind the Saito army, looked up, and was stunned for a moment, "Hey, that flag over there should be Saito Ryuxing's banner, right?" Maeda Toshiya was worthy of an incoming spear, and asked the person next to him with some uncertainty.

"My lord, it's the banner of Saito Ryuko!" One ashigaru shouted.

"Haha! The opportunity to make meritorious service has arrived! Brothers, see the position of Saito Ryuxing and rush with me! My chance to become famous in the first fight of the Maeda Toshiya has come! Shouting, Maeda Toshiya brandished his spear and rushed towards Saito Ryuko.

At the same time, Sasa Narumasa, Niwa Nagahide and others also discovered the banner of Saito Ryuko. Without even thinking about it, they changed the direction of their attack and attacked frantically towards Saito Ryuxing's side. Although no one has ever said anything, how many of the Oda family's retainers are full of envy, jealousy, and hatred for Oda Yoshinobu?

Well, there may not be many people who are jealous and hateful, but envy is certain, a civilian, swishing like a rocket to rise. Why? Isn't it because of countless battles that this kid has killed or captured enemy generals with this bravery? And now, Oda Yoshinobu has been sent to attack Ghana, which is a good opportunity for them to make meritorious contributions.

"Masakatsu, Nagayasu, Koichiro! Rush with me! Here's your chance to make a big difference! Kinoshita Toyoshiro shouted excitedly, last time he let Saito Ryuxing run, and he also received a big reward from Oda Nobunaga, if he can be caught this time......

The abnormal movement in front naturally attracted Oda Nobunaga's attention, and then the herald's report let Oda Nobunaga know the details, "Saito Ryuxing will appear here?" Oda Nobunaga frowned and looked at the familiar flag in the distance, and vaguely, a familiar figure seemed to stand just below the flag.

After a while, Oda Nobunaga made up his mind, he didn't know why Saito Ryuko was here, but since he appeared, then Oda Nobunaga had no reason to let him go. As long as he can be caught, then the day of taking down Mino will not be far off.

"Pass my order, let Shibata and Takikawabe continue to attack, and be sure to contain the enemy in place! The rest of you, attack with me, and be sure to catch Saito Ryuko! Oda Nobunaga shouted.
