Chapter 44 Oda Nobuna's Ambition
The monkey-faced uncle's expression dimmed significantly.
He said aloud: "Because although the Imakawa family has a strong influence, there is no chance to make a name for themselves in the Imakawa family!"
The head of the Imakawa family, who ruled the Torii family, was Imakawa Yoshimoto. He inherited the noble bloodline of the Ashikaga Supreme family and had a noble temperament. He promulgated the "Imakawa Karana Catalogue" internally, constructed the three-country alliance of Imakawa, Takeda and Hojo externally, and created the peak era of the Imakawa clan. It was even called the No. 1 Tokaido Bow, which means that Imakawa Yoshimoto was the strongest daimyo in Tokaido! It has outstanding performance in martial arts, culture, internal affairs, and diplomacy...
Well, it’s a perfect template for Lord of Destiny!
The only drawback is that in a big country like Imakawa, ordinary people have no chance of being promoted, and are more likely to be the life of being cannon fodder or high-level cannon fodder. Without a background or backstage, it is no wonder that the monkey-faced uncle would think of defecting.
"I heard that the king of Imakawa will arrive at Okazaki Castle this morning and personally preside over the battle to attack Ohashi Oda's family, so I wanted to take this opportunity to defect and plan to join the Oda's family..." Uncle Monkey Face said with some annoyance.
"What?! Imakawa Yoshimoto came here in person?" Pei Chen was shocked. He finally understood what was going on in the city's military power in the past two days.
"Yes, I don't know what she thought." The monkey-faced uncle shook his head.
"When will the war begin? Where?" Pei Chen asked with his eyes lit up, "When did the warrior start? "When did the monkey-faced uncle say at all. Imakawa Yoshimoto and Oda Nobunaga, two ruthless people who could stomp their feet and break the Warring States Period will soon appear on the same battlefield, then...
"It's already started! Who can tell where the fight is right?" The monkey-faced uncle shook his head, "We are just ordinary soldiers left behind."
"That's it... Thank you, uncle. By the way, haven't you asked your name yet?" Pei Chen smiled with his eyes narrowed, as if he had made a decision.
"Oh, that, my name is Kishita Fujiro!"
"Oh-So it's Kinoshita Fuji...Damn it! Toyotomi Hideyoshi?!"
"What Toyotomi Hideyoshi?"
...
...
A vast grassland has turned into a Shura battlefield, with broken weapons, blood-stained armor and cloth clothes everywhere, people's heads rolling, and corpses everywhere, which can be said to be soaring into the sky!
Pei Chen also reached an agreement with Uncle Kishishita Fujiro to some extent, and tried to escape from Mikawa Okazaki Castle and chased him all the way to this battlefield along the traces of the army's marching.
I don’t know where I touched the monkey face with leather armor and a fairly intact sword... Oh no, it was Uncle Kishishito Yoshiro who asked the young man beside him in confusion: "Well, Master Pei Chen, I don’t understand, you are a noble Mingren from the Kingdom of Scutellar. With this status, it is enough that the Imakawa family treats you well. Why do you have to condescend to the Guiqi to come to the battlefield in person?"
"Well, I naturally have my own ideas... Also, I'm not your lord, just call me my name." Pei Chen helped to correct the name of Kishita Fujiro again. The Japanese in this era seemed to be "Han fans", and they were still of very high purity.
However, it seems that including but not limited to Japan. In this era and this period, basically everyone in the world is "Han fans". There are many wrong people who wish they were born as Ming people. Unfortunately, the Ming government does not seem to be planning to issue green cards to them...
"Ao--" A scream of full breath came from under his feet, and both of them jumped out with conditioned reflexes.
A soldier who was stabbed in his thigh and was lucky enough to die was rolling on the ground with a twisted face, holding his thigh and rolling on the ground, screaming in pain. Just now, Pei Chen and Kishita Fujiro were not careful and there was another one who could breathe. He stepped on the broken knife into the unlucky guy's thigh, and then woke up the unconscious soldier.
The two looked at each other and were speechless. Finally, Pei Chen, who consciously stepped on the person, walked up and squatted down, showing a kind and kind smile: "How do you feel? Do you have any last words?"
"I, I can still save it!" With a terrified expression, the soldier hugged his bloody thighs tightly, and his lips turned blue.
"Let me see... well, congratulations, although it was inserted deeper, it did not hurt the main artery! Even if it was left alone, it could last for an hour or two. OK, we still have something to do, so I won't disturb you..."
What a demon! Seeing this scene, Uncle Kishita Fujiro suddenly became black and sweated.
The sudden shouts of killing sounds in front of him broke the silence around him. Pei Chen's eyes narrowed, and he reached out to cover the mouth of the soldier who wanted to make a sound, and listened carefully.
"Uncle Fujiro, watch him, I'll go and take a look."
"Okay, be careful." Kishita Fujiro, who already knew Pei Chen's combat effectiveness, naturally nodded and agreed, and went up to replace Pei Chen's position, tightly covering the unlucky soldier's mouth to prevent him from making even a sound. Those who didn't know thought that a sexual orientation was a bit strong. They were planning to commit the crime!
Unlucky Soldier: "..."
Gently pierced the grass in front of him, Pei Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at the local battlefield where fierce conflicts were erupting.
The soldiers obviously divided into two sides were fighting each other in a group of more than a dozen people, with flesh and blood flying and heads rolling...
The talented people on the watch are all earthlings. Even when fighting, they will subconsciously squeeze into the most lively place with the most crowded people... Pei Chen alone saw no less than five soldiers rushing to that place.
It seems that it will soon become the center of the battlefield! Looking at the lively battlefield, Pei Chen thought about it and retreated.
After bandaging the unlucky ghost, Pei Chen and Kishita Fujiro quietly left and made a big circle around the battlefield. Kishita Fujiro felt that they were looking for those noble kings to recommend themselves, but Pei Chen was trying to kill one and join the other, and was preparing to take advantage of the troubled waters.
So the two had their own ideas and even one of them, who could be said to be a ulterior motive, quickly came to the other side of the battlefield in circles.
"This is from the Imakawa family, and that is from the Oda family."
Although I don’t know much about the emblems of these two companies, at least I have an uncle, Kishita Fujiro, who has done his homework to jump back and for a brighter future. This future world Hideyoshi Toyotomi introduced the forces on both sides to Pei Chen with great enthusiasm.
"It seems that the Imakawa family has more advantages!"
The apostle who turned on the thermal vision said with emotion that in the sight of his snakes, as long as they were humans, they would be turned into red human figures that emit heat. It was obvious that the vision of the Imakawa family was like a sea of endless blood, and they could not tell the general outline between people.
"Yes, the Imakawa family is the first Tokaido bow after all!" Uncle Kishishita Fujiro also agreed with this statement. Faced with such a powerful daimyo, there were really few forces that could be fought against in this chaotic warring state.
"Well, I seem to have seen...what are those famous names? Imperial Garrison?"
Pei Chen suddenly said, squinted his eyes and looked at him carefully. He saw a place in the distance guarded by a large number of soldiers, and could also see the raised flags and the chariots that the nobles were riding.
"That should be the eldest lady of the Imakawa family! After all, if it were the head of the Oda family, he would never come here in a carriage." After hearing Pei Chen's words, Uncle Fujiyoshiro was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said casually.
"Oh? Did I bring my daughter out during the war? Tsk tsk tsk tsk..." Pei Chen's strange words made Uncle Fujiro's brain crash. What? When did the Imakawa family's daimyo have a daughter? I haven't heard of it!
Pei Chen, a slow-responsive guy, didn't think so much, but just looked at the battlefield where the fight was like a wild dog roaming, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He probably understood what Kishita Fujiro said, "Many new recruits thought war was a mass fight" meant. Damn, you will kill with a knife, so just hit it with a fist?
It was like two children fighting to grab a toy.
The picture was so beautiful that Pei Chen couldn't bear to look at it.
"Huh? Why isn't anyone using bows and arrows?" Pei Chen suddenly discovered a problem. There were all kinds of chaos on the battlefield. He even heard a few sounds of suspected firearms, but there were very few arrows that should fly around and kill us...
"Why should I use bows and arrows?" Uncle Fujiro's turn was very puzzled. Looking at his confused expression, it seemed that not to use bows and arrows were common sense?
What Pei Chen didn't know was that in the Warring States Period, Japan's technique of making bows and arrows was not very qualified and its power was insufficient. Often, an arrow was shot out and even the enemy's leather armor was slightly far away... It would be better to get close to it and chop it with a knife!
Therefore, there is also the saying "one shot is three swords, one shot is three arrows".
Damn it! It's such a weird and powerful reason! After listening to Uncle Fujiro's explanation, Pei Chen felt a little tooth pain.
"Can you say that your silk country has very good bow making skills?" Kishishi Fujiro seemed to have found the truth, and looked at the dragon horn bow and quiver behind Pei Chen with a hot pillow. He took it out in advance to cover up the storage space.
"Okay, I'll see if there is any chance to demonstrate it to you!" Pei Chen glanced everywhere to see if there were any targets within range.
Then he suddenly realized and felt a sudden sensation: What am I trying to do? Are I going to kill someone?
Because he had never encountered such a must-kill occasion, Pei Chen had never killed anyone during these two missions. But now he was surprised to find that he seemed to have become colder with his blood and began to stop taking murder seriously.
Treat them all as NPCs? No, no, it’s not the reason, it just seems... because it’s indifferent to me, so I don’t care at all?
Pei Chen sat back into the grass, frowned and thought hard, as if he had encountered some trouble.
"What's wrong? Your Excellency Pei Chen."
"Nothing!" After taking a deep breath, Pei Chen sniffed, stood up again, took out an exquisitely crafted arrow from the quiver and put it on the string, "I just had some extra compassion for no reason!"
This is a war-like scene, how can you not kill people? Even the soldier you are aiming at should have been enlightened at the moment you go to the battlefield!
Pei Chen, who had a basic archery skill and his strength value was far beyond ordinary people, did not believe that he could not hit the target. As his arms, which still had few muscle lines, gradually exerted force, the horn bow was slowly pulled over. Uncle Fujiro heard the low voice of a terrifying beast that seemed to be a terrifying beast. The bow that was gradually being pulled over was emitting a terrifying aura.
Whoosh!
Almost straight arrow trajectory!
Pei Chen showed a smile that was a little indifferent or even mocked him or others, but the next moment, the unformed smile froze and disappeared.
Chapter completed!
