On the one hand, Gao Xianda sent out cavalry to inquire about Imakawa's team, and on the other hand, he sent people to a small town around Qingzhou City. Tianlai novel ww『w.

『2

Big cities like Qingzhou City are empty in strength, and there are naturally no people in small castles like Kuno City, which have only one wall and a single-story Tianshou. All the troops were forcibly recruited by Oda Nobunaga. Apart from women and children, there was only a team composed of more than a dozen elderly, weak, sick and disabled people.

So there was no need for Gao Xianda. Okabe Motonobu personally took action and sent a team led by 10 cavalrymen, and two hundred squads were conquered.

Other smaller towns simply surrendered and fell under the control of the Imakawa family.

Gao Xianda took the majority of Wei Zhang's territory under his command with just this team of more than 1,000 people.

Of course, Gao Xianda also knew that it was impossible to defend so many places with just these thousand people, and Oda Nobunaga was a role model.

Fortunately, Gao Xianda came to do the destruction, and it was not yet the production and construction stage. So he simply abandoned all other small cities, demolished all the fortifications, and concentrated all the population, food, and various equipment inside into Qingzhou City.

If Nobunaga Oda returns to his master, all he can get is a useless empty city.

Gao Xianda only needs to bring news of fighting in Qingzhou City every day.

But not all good news came.

Sure enough, the attack was born.

On May 19, Oda Nobunaga led his army to the Inoda Shrine to pray for blessings and made the final pre-war mobilization.

At the same time, Imakawa Yoshimoto led his team into Tsukamama Mountain.

Going forward are two forts under Otaka City. Naomori Ii and Taida Asahi are attacking separately at this time. The battle has entered a white-hot stage, and news of the Imakawa family's victory may be heard at any time.

So Imakawa Yoshimoto did not advance, but chose to station and rest at a high place.

Thinking of winning the entire victory immediately and bringing the Oda family into his command, Imakawa Yoshimoto allowed his subordinates to hold a small-scale banquet.

But the spies had reported their whereabouts to Oda Nobunaga not far away, and Oda Nobunaga chose to raid.

And God specially helped Oda Nobunaga, and it rained heavily at this time.

The sound of rain covered up the whereabouts of Oda Nobunaga's troops, making Imakawa Yoshimoto's troops completely unaware that the God of Death was approaching.

The heavy rain stopped soon. The Imakawa army, who was still excited to feast, heard the sound of firecrackers.

But this is not the Chinese Spring Festival. There can only be one kind of thing, musket.

More than ten years ago, with the help of Ming merchants, Portuguese merchants accidentally stopped at Akaoki Port and spread the musket technology to Shiyao, the owner of Seed Island's family. Later, Shiyao of Seed Island ordered his blacksmith Baban Qingding to imitate. In the past few years of successful imitation, the use of muskets had slowly spread in Japan.

In Japan, this kind of thing is called an iron cannon.

Although the musket was made at this time, it was a pre-charged mesh gun. However, its power had already attracted the attention of many warlike daimyos.

Oda Nobunaga is a person who likes trendy things. He thinks muskets are weapons that can change an era. So after Oda Nobunaga became the head of the family, he began to form a musket team. In recent years, a musket team of 300 people has been organized.

Because of the complex production process, the cost of muskets is not cheap, and the loading and shooting require special training. Raising such a musket team is probably more expensive than raising a cavalry team.

The 300-man musket team is Oda Nobunaga's trump card. So he had to wait until the sun clear before attacking Imakawa Yoshimoto.

The loud musket and huge lethality quickly caught Imakawa Yoshimoto's team off guard.

Then two thousand Oda's feet, who were like wolves and tigers, began to attack Imakawa Yoshimoto's team violently.

At this time, Imakawa Yoshimoto was still in the joy of winning. There were only about 20 to 30% of the soldiers in the team who could react in time. Only half of these people could act immediately and enter the combat state.

Therefore, Imakawa's troops that could fight against the Oda family actually had only one thousand people.

Two thousand people beat one thousand people, and the Oda family entered the local numerical advantage.

Moreover, the 1,000 people who could act were mixed in the team of 10,000 people. When Oda Nobunaga's troops killed a large number of heads, even the morale of the 1,000 people collapsed.

The Imakawa army stepped on each other and cried loudly. The whole scene was in chaos and countless deaths were found.

However, Oda Nobunaga's purpose was not to completely wipe out the troops of Imakawa Yoshimoto's troops. He was not stupid enough to plan to swallow a team of 10,000 with two thousand people. Even if the morale of these 10,000 people collapsed, there would be a time to organize them. Even if there were 5 ooo people left, the Oda family would be wiped out!

Oda Nobunaga only has one target, Imakawa Yoshimoto's head!

As a main general, Imakawa Yoshimoto naturally sat at the highest point, holding the most conspicuous flag, telling his subordinates that the main general is here, so everyone can rest assured. But at the same time, he also exposed his goals to the enemy.

The Oda family soon arrived at Imakawa Yoshimoto, so it became very embarrassing.

Imakawa Yoshimoto is not a war general.

He was a military strategist, a diplomat, and a politician. He was able to fight to annex Yuanjiang and Sanhe, and through his personal charm, he could promote the same alliance between Jiajun, and gain the righteousness of Shangluo through his relationship with Kyoto.

But he is thin, with eyebrows and teeth drawn, and his usual dress is completely like a public servant in Kyoto and a weak civil servant.

Although he likes to wear a long famous sword on weekdays, the sword is not suitable for him, and his personal combat ability is also a problem.

The samurai around him was quickly cut down by the crazy Oda army, while he himself waved the Sozo Zuo text that was not suitable for his height, and enemies were everywhere around him.

So he can imagine what happened.

Gao Xianda knew exactly that the battle between Tuosama was fought, and also knew that Imakawa Yoshimoto's team was attacked. The defeated troops of the Imakawa family were retreating to Okazaki Castle. Oda Nobunaga's army pursued for a period of time and killed countless people. In the end, they were blocked outside the Ken Castle Okazaki Castle.

Imakawa Yoshimoto's army of 20,000 was left in the end.

But the most important thing is that as the main general, no one knows his whereabouts.

Some say he is still commanding the battle in Okazaki Castle, some say he has retreated to Junfu Castle, while the Oda family claims to have killed Imakawa Yoshimoto.
