Chapter 174: Divine Soldiers descend from heaven (Chapters 3 and 4)
Fire Nation Hall.
Oda Hideyoshi sat high on it, holding his forehead, with a cold expression, and his whole person exuded an aura that made me very unhappy.
Within a day, word of his heroic deed spread throughout the metropolis.
I don't know how many people were talking about his actions behind his back.
As for Oda Kensho and the 10,000 men of the Xuanjia Army, he did not pay attention to them.
The five armies loyal to him totaled more than 100,000, and 10,000 was just a drop in the bucket.
He didn't believe that he had the ace in his hand, could he be defeated by his fourth brother?
All the civil and military officials in the main hall said nothing, and were extremely silent in the depressing atmosphere.
Many of them have seen the photos, but at this point, Oda Hideyoshi has become the winner, and it is useless to smear him.
The only function is to cause trouble for Oda Hideyoshi.
"Daimyo."
Takeuchi took a step forward and said respectfully:
"The person who spread the rumors in Metropolis has been dealt with, and no one dares to talk about it anymore. Please rest assured, Daimyo.
The top priority is to deal with the rebellious Oda Kensho. He is thousands of miles away in Ibaraki, but he can respond so quickly. It seems that they got the news just after your father died.
This just proves that there is something wrong with the elixir he gave to your father, and he framed the photos to deceive the people of the Kingdom of Fire. He deserves death!"
"What Mr. Takeuchi said makes perfect sense."
Oda Hideyoshi raised his head with a smile on his face. If he didn't know the truth, he would have believed his words.
"Where is my rebellious brother now?"
"He and the Genka Army left Ibaraki and landed at Katsuragan Port at an extremely fast speed."
Takeuchi Yudai picked up a secret report and said, "General Yamazaki's army has been ordered to go."
"General Yamazaki?"
Oda Hideyoshi was slightly startled, and then praised, "General Yamazaki is victorious in every battle, and he will definitely be able to get back the head of the fourth child for me."
He looked at Takeuchi Yudai who had an indifferent expression, and couldn't help but sigh, as expected, ginger is still hotter with age.
I just told him yesterday that General Yamazaki might have different intentions, and he was sent to the front line today.
General Yamazaki has an army of 15,000. If he fails, his worries will be solved.
Even if we win, it will definitely be a tragic victory.
Over and over again, only oneself remains invincible.
…
Ten thousand troops formed several neat square formations, and the black exoskeleton power suits glowed with the color of steel in the sun.
Kensho Oda looked from a distance, like thick black clouds rising into the sky with momentum.
A sense of pride inevitably arose in his heart.
Namikaze Minato was beside him, wearing an exoskeleton power suit, so he couldn't see clearly.
With his excellent eyesight, he saw the densely packed army on the opposite side.
"It seems they got the news in advance."
Because of their exoskeleton power suits, they are very fast.
Even so, his whereabouts were known.
It seems that the other armies of the Country of Fire are not as unbearable as they imagined.
"Although my eldest brother has no talent, civil and military officials always have something to do."
Oda Kensho glanced at the flag on the city wall and said, "It's Yamazaki Hashiryu. He has fifteen thousand soldiers and horses."
"Are you preparing to charge head-on?"
Namikaze Minato shook his head expressionlessly.
Compared with the thirty-six strategies that Teacher Qingshu told him, these so-called armies only know how to cut and chop, and don't know much about flexibility.
War is a battle of numbers.
It's a pity that he has to tell the nobles of the Fire Country today that times have changed, and having more people doesn't mean anything.
"Yamazaki Hashiryu is best at frontal combat, so it's not surprising that he made this decision."
At least Oda Kensho had some knowledge of the major generals.
"here we go."
Namikaze Minato raised his eyebrows and saw the army in front of him slowly moving forward.
After a while, the cavalry at the front of the army stirred up their reins and accelerated violently, rushing towards the Xuanjia army like a tide.
The rumble of horse hooves shook the air.
The sound echoed for hundreds of miles around.
"Heavily equipped Pheasant Cavalry."
Oda Kensho looked a little nervous. He took a deep breath and explained, "The heavily armored pheasant cavalry built by the Yamazaki Army is composed of the finest horses and the most elite soldiers, and is equipped with full-body iron armor, and
The long-handled pheasant knife is a real battlefield killing weapon."
Namikaze Minato nodded.
Such iron cavalry can already cause a certain degree of lethality to ninjas.
Not to mention that he saw that this heavy cavalry was mixed with many samurai who could use chakra.
"Minato, are you sure?"
Kensho Oda only knew the auxiliary function of the exoskeleton power suit, but did not know all about it.
Facing the heavily armored Pheasant Cavalry like a forest of steel, I felt a little unconfident for a moment.
"Your Highness, there is no need to worry."
Namikaze Minato raised his right hand.
As if given an order, the three thousand black armor troops at the front of him spread out according to the formation to avoid accidental injury, and immediately raised their right arms.
There was a sound of mechanical gears turning.
The steel shell on his right arm suddenly cracked, revealing a Gatling gun with four intertwined barrels.
"Your Highness, you have only one mission. You must not let the process of this battle leak out."
"OK."
Oda Kensho drove his horse away.
In addition to Namikaze Minato's 10,000 black armor troops, he also spent money to raise a mercenary army of 3,000 people.
The only function is to block messages.
But within a few seconds of his walking, there was a sudden loud noise.
Kensho Oda comforted the horse under his seat and looked back.
Almost at the same time, three thousand machine guns spun wildly and fired in unison.
Even in the daytime, Kensho Oda saw blue flames that were several meters long.
In an instant, they reached the sky above the heavily armored Pheasant Rider, and a continuous roar suddenly sounded.
The bullets made of detonating symbols burn and explode one after another.
The soldier who was closest immediately felt his head buzzing and his ears were bleeding.
But the worst thing was the heavily armored Pheasant Cavalry at the center of the explosion.
Known as one of the most powerful cavalry in the Fire Country, it has disappeared.
A huge pit of several hundred meters, no one survived.
There were bloody wreckage all around, and there was not a single intact body among the two thousand people.
The flame is still burning.
But the whole world was so quiet that there was no sound.
The black armor army using Gatling had a look of astonishment and disbelief.
It seemed that he couldn't believe that the hellish scene in front of him was caused by himself.
Ever since they joined the army, they had thought that one day they would die on the battlefield, but such a thing was beyond their wildest dreams.
After hearing the explosion, Yamazaki Hashiryu on the city wall lost all his blood.
If the whole person were not holding on to the city wall, he would be paralyzed on the ground in the next moment.
The heavily armored Pheasant Cavalry he was so proud of was destroyed in just a few seconds.
And he still doesn't understand what kind of weapon is that rattling blue flame?
But no matter what kind of weapon it was, he knew that he was defeated.
A few days later.
Oda Hideyoshi has never been so angry and scared.
His fourth brother was heading towards the metropolis at a speed he could not imagine.
"The man-eating devil is advancing towards Golden Spike City! General Yamazaki is captured."
"The usurper entered Deyu! General Mochizuki died in battle."
"Oda Kensho captures Iwaki! General Hirayama surrenders."
Oda Hideyoshi took a deep breath and tried to control his emotions.
But the anger in his words could not be concealed.
"That's enough! Shut up! Stop reading!"
There was silence in the hall.
None of the civil and military officials dared to speak.
Many of them are secretly considering their options.
They are nobles. No matter who becomes the daimyo, as long as it does not affect them, they don't care at all.
But it cannot be revealed for now.
"Daimyo."
Takayuki Ogotsu stood up and said with confidence, "General Ogawa and I are guarding the metropolis with nearly 50,000 troops, so there is no need to worry."
After hearing this, the fear in Oda Hideyoshi's heart was slightly reduced.
The main reason is that his fourth brother is too fast, and so far he has never received a detailed description of the battle process.
There must be something fishy about this.
What is it that makes Oda Kensho so unstoppable?
"Do you know what the new equipment of the Xuanjia Army is?"
Oda Hideyoshi thought about it and found this was the only possibility.
But no one in the hall could answer.
First, except for the daimyo, no one else had seen the sky fire.
Second, during Minato's training, not many people had mastered the new equipment, and confidentiality measures were extremely good.
Even if someone investigates, they can only see their strange training methods.
Oda Hideyoshi suddenly felt angry when he saw that his civil and military officials were silent.
If he didn't rely on them to defend the metropolis, he would definitely scold these losers.
For seven years, no one paid attention to the new equipment of the Xuanjia Army?
The arrogance of the nobles is clearly revealed.
On the night after the court meeting dispersed, Ogotsu Takayuki learned of the news that troops were approaching the city.
He and Taro Ogawa were high on the city wall, and all the troops were hidden in the metropolis.
As the most majestic and prosperous city in the Land of Fire, its walls are also the tallest and thickest.
They learned from previous experiences and prepared to defend the city.
"I never quite understood it."
Taro Ogawa stared at the Black Armor Army in the distance, "Although their armor looks intimidating, they are all well-trained soldiers. Why can they defeat the other three armies so quickly?"
"I don't understand either."
Takayuki Ogotsu frowned and asked, "Actually, what I suspect is not the new equipment, but the ninjas."
"Ninja?"
"Yes, you should know the magic of ninjas. Namikaze Minato is a ninja from Konoha. He can completely arrange a team of ninjas to act as surprise soldiers and lay traps."
The more Takayuki Ohoshi talks about, the more reasonable he becomes.
He has seen ninja traps, which are disasters for ordinary armies.
The three armies in front all chose to fight head-on.
It is normal to fall into a trap when charging.
If such a situation occurs on the battlefield, it will almost be a defeat.
"No wonder Oda Kensho wants to block the news. If we find out about this strange soldier, we will definitely be on guard."
Taro Ogawa nodded, he agreed with Ogotsu Takayuki's statement.
"But now that we rely on the city wall, their surprise troops will not have time to set traps."
Ogotsu Takayuki sneered, "This is really our perfect opportunity. Once Oda Kensho is eliminated, you and I will rise to the top and become the two most powerful generals in the Fire Country."
"General Dai Viet is absolutely right!"
Taro Ogawa's heart was boiling with excitement.
The remaining three armies have become history.
He and Ogotsu Takayuki's army were the only ones.
Oda Hideyoshi can only rely on them in the future.
Even if we build another army, how can we compare with them in a short period of time?
Thinking about the future, Taro Ogawa waited for the Black Armor Army to approach, raised his hands and shouted: "Archers, prepare!"
He was able to guard the metropolis because of his Ogawa horse archers.
The perfect combination of cavalry and archers.
If it were a normal war, they should be used as the vanguard, shooting back and forth on the plains, constantly causing an overwhelming rain of arrows to the enemy army.
Taro Ogawa is in a group of 100, and according to special training, he can achieve seamless connection.
But now because they have to defend the city, they have lost their mobility, but as simple archers they are far more elite than ordinary archers.
Countless arrow feathers flew out from the city wall, drew a beautiful arc in the sky, and then fell down in unison.
"Wait a minute, something's wrong."
Ogotsu Takayuki suddenly narrowed his eyes.
As one of the five great generals, his strength is not weaker than that of a Jonin.
Within his sight, all the arrow feathers passed through the Xuanjia Army and inserted into the ground one after another.
It was as if the Xuanjia Army did not exist.
"It's an illusion."
Ohoshi Takayuki was not surprised but overjoyed, which proved his previous suspicion that there was indeed a ninja army.
The first three generals must have been unaware and fell into the trap.
Taro Ogawa immediately stopped shooting with his bow and arrows.
The level of the two of them is not low. Although they are not as good as Mifune of the Iron Kingdom, they are relatively knowledgeable in the application of chakra.
I saw him pull out his long sword, and the purple lightning speed reached its extreme speed, and the sword light filled the sky in front of him.
The illusion suddenly broke.
Ohoshi Takayuki was about to praise his superb swordsmanship, but he suddenly froze on the spot.
In front of them, a huge fortress was suspended in the sky.
"What's this?!"
Taro Ogawa never expected that such a dreamlike thing would appear after the illusion was solved.
Moving castle?
How did it fly up?
Just as his thoughts were racing, countless lights lit up in the sky fortress.
Like fireworks, they rose from the ground, followed a specific trajectory, and landed in the metropolis at an extremely fast speed.
As they approached, Ogotsu Takayuki and Ogawa Taro could clearly see that they were black armor soldiers wearing exoskeleton power suits.
It's over... Their eyes widened.
One meteor after another ignited and fell.
What is this?
They thought of all possible ways to attack.
But I never imagined the scene before me.
Divine soldiers descend from heaven!
palace.
Oda Hideyoshi is waiting for news.
Suddenly a big hole opened in the top of his head.
A Xuanjia Army soldier appeared in front of him.
He didn't react for a moment.
"Brother, long time no see."
A familiar voice.
"Oda Kensho! How did you get here?!"
Oda Hideyoshi stood up suddenly, with a panicked look on his face and shouted, "Here comes someone! Escort! Escort!"
"It's useless. No one will come to save you even if you break your throat."
Kensho Oda shook his head and said, "Look at the sky outside. Isn't it beautiful?"
"..."
Oda Hideyoshi was paralyzed in his seat.
Countless sparks were burning in the large hole in the ceiling.
Namikaze Minato appeared in front of the two of them, looked at Oda Hideyoshi, then looked at Oda Kensho, and said with a smile: "Welcome Your Highness to your metropolis."
