Letters for help from the back roads of Hanakuma Castle arrived like snowflakes in front of Oda Nobunaga who was retreating. The surrounding retainers and subordinates all had pale faces, but Oda Nobunaga smiled to himself.
"Before, I was worried that those stubborn samurai couldn't act, and the Miyoshi family and the Mori family would find out their fraud." Oda Nobunaga snorted twice, then looked up to the sky and laughed, "Don't worry now!
Who can’t act? It’s really a failure!”
"Once Hanakuma Castle is lost, everything will stop." After Oda Nobunaga finished laughing, his expression suddenly turned ferocious, "I personally cut off the rear! Block the pursuers! Let Kutaro (Hidemasa Hori) and the others leave me alone and go back immediately to support Hanakuma.
city!"
As soon as Oda Nobunaga finished speaking, Miyoshi Yoshihide's Awa soldiers, who had been chasing Miyoshi Yoshihide, suddenly pounced forward and attacked the Oda family's rear-end troops.
"Well done." Oda Nobunaga shouted, then drew the knife from his waist and shouted to his subordinates, "Mothers in clothes, and Yu Shang! Yu will personally supervise the formation! Fight them all back!"
·
"Is that Oda Nobunaga's horse seal..." Daisiraibao, who was on the front line, pointed to the copper coin horse seal in front of the opposite formation with some disbelief, "Is Oda Nobunaga coming to the front line?"
"That's right, that's him." Raitake Ohnishi's father, an important minister in Miyoshi Yoshiken's family, replied with a solemn expression, and a slight cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He looked at those who were active on the front line, pushing back the attacks of Awa.
The brave cavalry added in a low voice: "There are also those in red women's clothes and those in black women's clothes."
"You have to go all out..." Onishi Raiharu, Onishi's younger brother, muttered to himself. Thanks to Oda Nobunaga's personal supervision of the formation, the low morale of the Oda army due to the fire at the back was also boosted.
, Apozhong's attack was also immediately frustrated.
"What should we do?" Da Xi Lai Bao turned to his father, "How can we defeat the women in uniform?"
"There is no other way, so let's fight."
However, it was not Onishi Raitake who answered him, but a deep male voice from behind. Onishi Raitake hurriedly looked back and saw that their head of the family, Miyoshi Yoshiken, had also come to the front line in person. Following him were
, which is the banner cavalry of Abo Zhong.
"There's nothing to be afraid of." Miyoshi Yoshiken smiled and patted his old subordinate Onishi Yaitake on the shoulder, "When we were running across Kinki and striving for Kyoto, Nobunaga was just an Owari bumpkin, but now he is afraid
Is he afraid of this?"
"I'm really ashamed that I made His Highness laugh." Onishi Yoritake smiled when he heard this and gave a high-five with great enthusiasm, "Follow me! Not to mention Oda Nobunaga, even if the King of Heaven comes, we are not afraid! He will be beaten!
!”
"Go." Miyoshi Yoshihide personally led the Hatamoto samurai to the front line to supervise the battle, and even drew his sword in his hand to fight on the front line. Miyoshi Yoshihide's actions greatly boosted the morale of the Awa people, and the Awa people who had been suppressed by the Oda army began to
Counterattack. Viewed from a distance, Miyoshi Yoshiken and Oda Nobunaga's horse prints were fighting together, and countless samurai and ashigaru were fighting one after another.
Onishi Raibo was rushing to the front at the moment, leading the two Hatamoto samurai of the Onishi family to run rampant until he met the Oda samurai in front of him. This samurai's level was also very impressive, and he actually fought one against three without falling.
Feng. Judging from his appearance, he should be one of Oda Nobunaga's horse soldiers.
"Come again!" After the horse Huizhong parried the blow of Da Xi Lai Bao with his sword, he waved his sword casually and came forward again. He slashed at the samurai on the left of Da Xi Lai Pao with his sword, and the samurai blocked it with his sword. , but was shocked and took two steps back. The Ma Huizhong took the opportunity to stab sideways, and Osiraibao hurriedly lifted up to block the fatal blow for his subordinates. The Hatamoto samurai on his right stepped forward with a sword step. He slashed at the Ma Huizhong with his sword. In the flash of lightning, the Ma Huizhong suddenly grabbed Hatamoto's wrist and put the knife in the air. The Ma Huizhong then turned around. , used the strength to throw the Hatamoto Samurai away, and then kicked away the samurai on the right side of the Great Siraibao, and then slashed at the Great Siraibao with several knives. The Great Siraibao couldn't resist it. His sword skills were scattered and he retreated continuously, and there were many dangers.
However, at the critical juncture, the Awa people's formation suddenly burst into loud cheers. The horseback people were startled, jumped two steps away in a hurry, and then turned around to look - only to see Hanakuma Castle in the distance. Thick black smoke was already burning at the location of the castle tower. The morale of the Oda army, which had been shouting for a fierce battle, suddenly dropped sharply. Oda Nobunaga seemed to have led his troops to retreat from the front line in order to understand the situation at the rear. As The Miyoshi Nagakei and Mori family reinforcements arrived, and the Oda army, which had been fighting and retreating, gradually became exhausted. Even though the Oda family samurai tried hard to suppress it, the situation was still developing in a bad direction. All the Oda army Ashigaru samurai were frightened at this moment. Hanakuma Castle was afraid that their escape route had been cut off.
·
After Oda Nobunaga saw the fire at Hanakuma Castle, he hurriedly led his horseback troops to fight back eastward from the front line, planning to go to Hanakuma Castle to check the situation in person. When he arrived at the west of Hanakuma Castle, he saw only Akechi Mitsuhide, Maeda Toshiie, and Taki. Kawaichi Masuo and Ikeda Tsuneki are being beaten back by Tokawa Ichimori and Araki Murura, and the castle tower of Hanakuma Castle has also been occupied and burned. The only remaining defenders of Hanakuma Castle are the Ninomaru in the east castle. They stood firm near the city gate, but there was no one left who could rescue them. Once Hanakuma Castle fell, the Oda family's army would be doomed.
At this moment, I saw a murderous army coming from the east. They were carrying the banner of Tokugawa Mitsuha Aoi. The leader was a young general who was not as young as the weakest. However, he was galloping on horseback. It is heroic and heroic.
"I am Tokugawa Saburo Nobuyasu!" Tokugawa Nobuyasu ran back and forth in front of the formation to boost morale and shouted to his subordinates, "Mikawa men, follow me! Kill and injure the enemy!"
"Hey! Hey! Roar!" The Mikawa warriors responded to their young master with three neat calls, followed Tokugawa Nobuyasu around Hanakuma Castle, and killed behind the Araki Murashigesho headquarters in the northwest of Hanakuma Castle. Araki Village They hurriedly divided their troops to resist, but Tokugawa Nobuyasu was invincible and rushed into the enemy's formation. The young master was so brave that the Tokugawa soldiers were naturally inspired and attacked the Araki army one after another. The Araki army had been fighting hard for half a day and had lost some physical strength. It didn't work. Being rushed by Tokugawa Nobuyasu, the rear team collapsed instantly.
The indomitable Tokugawa Nobuyasu did not stop and continued to kill Araki Murashige's horses. Araki Murashige had to mobilize the troops from the front line to attack the Oda Army, led by Nakagawa Kiyohide and Takayama Shigetomo. The two warriors under his command went to resist. However, Tokugawa Nobuyasu suddenly moved quickly and led a small group of samurai to rush towards the junction of Nakagawa Kiyohide and Takayama Shigetomo. Nakagawa Kiyohide and Takayama Shigetomo both came in a hurry. , neither of them had time to surround Tokugawa Nobuyasu, but Tokugawa Nobuyasu and his men rushed in from the gap between the two units. In the chaos, Tokugawa Nobuyasu led the Hatamoto samurai to attack Araki Murashige, Araki Murashige didn't have many men left at hand, so he had to give up the main formation in embarrassment. Once the main formation moved, the Araki Army, which was already in a scattered formation, was leaderless. The Tokugawa Army and the Oda Army took the opportunity to launch a general attack and drove Araki Murashige's troops from Hanakuma. The northern gate of the city was repulsed and rushed towards the mountainous area in the northwest.
"Young Master Tokugawa is so powerful!" After seeing the situation reversed, the samurai around Oda Nobunaga couldn't help but exclaim, "What a young hero!"
"Whenever Kijimaru can be half as capable as him, I will have peace of mind." Oda Nobunaga reined in his horse and whispered meaningfully, "If not, I will have to worry about it myself."

At the beginning of Shenshi, the position of Abozhong.
Miyoshi Yoshiken was sitting in the temporary shogunate, and two guards were treating his shoulder wound. Just now, he went to the front line to boost morale, and was accidentally hit by a stray arrow, and his right upper arm was injured.
"If it were my fourth brother, I would probably just wrap a roll of vines around it and get some salt grass and be done with it." Miyoshi Yixian looked at the gauze tied around his arm and said jokingly, "Why go to all this trouble."
"How is the battle going?" Miyoshi Yoshiken asked Onishi Laiharu, who had just returned from Japan.
"The fighting was very chaotic. Your Highness, please retreat. The Oda army counterattacked again." Onishi Yoriharu gestured towards the north and east of the temporary shogunate. This time, the Oda army had reached three places on the edge of the shogunate.
It's ten feet away, it's very dangerous here.
"My eldest brother's follow-up troops will arrive soon. This hilltop must be defended, otherwise it will be difficult for the follow-up troops to deploy." Miyoshi Yixian turned his head away and pouted towards Miyoshi Changqing's troops to the west, "Tell your father and Mr. Habedoko.
, hold on a little longer! Bring some of the guards at my door to support me."
"Yes." Onishi Laiharu saluted Miyoshi Yoshihide, and then rushed to the east with dozens of Hatamoto warriors at the door to support him. As soon as Onishi Laiharu left, a messenger suddenly ran into the camp in a hurry
Inside:
"Your Highness, Mr. Hosokawa is back and has brought Mr. Suzuki with him, saying that he has urgent military information to report."
"Oh? Rokuro is back?" Miyoshi Yixian smiled, glanced at the direction of the Miyoshi Changqing flag, and then said to the messenger, "Quickly send them in!"
After a while, they saw Hosokawa Masayuki leading Suzuki Shigehide walking quickly from the foot of the hill towards the temporary shogunate on the mountain. When they reached the door, two guards of Miyoshi Yoshiken wanted to come forward and search them.
However, Hosokawa Shinyuki scolded him: "What kind of behavior do you have? Do you even want to search my body?"
"My lord, I misunderstood..." The guard was scolded by Shinichi Hosokawa. He glanced at Suzuki Shigehide with some embarrassment, and then whispered, "I want to..."
"Mr. Suzuki is bent on revenge and is completely sincere to our Miyoshi family! Do you know that we were able to fight this battle so smoothly only because of the intelligence that Mr. Suzuki continuously provided us?" Hosokawa Shinyuki slapped the guard in the face.
After training him once, he pushed him away and led Suzuki Shigehide towards Miyoshi Yoshihide, saluting at the same time.
"Father." "Your Highness Sanhao."
"Rokuro, you did a good job this time." Miyoshi Yoshiken looked at Hosokawa Shinyuki who was kneeling on the ground, and his eyes showed a kind look that Hosokawa Shinyuki had never seen before.
"Sir Suzuki, thanks to you this time. Do you have any urgent information to share?" Miyoshi Yoshihide then looked at Suzuki Shigehide and stretched out his hand to signal him.
"Your Highness, please." Suzuki Shigehide reached out and fumbled around in his arms, and then suddenly pulled out a gun barrel-like object.
The guards standing not far from Miyoshi Yoshihide were shocked. They were about to move forward to block Miyoshi Yoshihide's gun, but they suddenly froze there. Because the barrel of the gun that Suzuki Shigehide took out did not have a matchlock - nor did it.
The position where the match rope was placed. Suzuki Shigehide did not carry any ignition tools on his body, and his other hand had no intention of lighting a fire. If it did not light a fire, it would definitely not be an iron cannon.
"It's not an iron cannon. Could it be a secret tool containing intelligence?"
The guards looked at each other and their movements gradually slowed down. However, just when they hesitated, Suzuki Shigehide resolutely pulled the trigger of the unfired barrel.
"boom!"
