Oharaku, Oda family, and Retina Temple.

At this time, Oda Nobunaga so he gathered everyone before the Hirota Temple, which naturally had its meaning.

"The idea of ​​having everything or nothing is left without a city" is the will that was revealed in Oda Nobunaga's heart. Originally, he had no idea of ​​defending the city in the city of Kiyosu. In fact, his will told him to give up the city and his wife, and give up everything.

"To gain the world, or be a fool who dies in Ohara." This is his previous argument, and now this is his practice. Because of this, whether others come with you or not, for Oda Nobunaga himself, no matter how many people gather, he only plans to launch a surprise attack on Imakawa Yoshimoto's headquarters with these people.

Of course, this action must be grasped and it is elusive. Everyone has the will to rush towards the enemy, which is the main key to victory. Therefore, he did not gather in the city, but instead ran to the Retian Temple in one breath, which is the reason why he came to the Retian Temple in one breath.

In this way, even though the spies sent by Imakawa who were lurking in the city were careful, they could not detect the purpose of Oda Nobunaga's operation.

Although Oda Nobunaga did this, the old ministers who followed one after another could not guess what the fox was thinking.

"Oh! Oh! What is this doing?"

The people near the temple had long been awakened by the noisy sound. They all looked at this strange battle ceremony with wide eyes and puzzled.

"What do you think will be the result? The enemy dispatched a total of 50,000 and 80,000 troops, but our side did not even have preparations! So I said, you don't need to think about the result at all."

"It goes without saying that he is still a fool lord after all!"

"Yes! Look! Nearly half of the guards rushed over without even putting on their clothes. The other half was almost naked!"

"Hey! Judging from this situation, Ohara Oda's family will definitely lose!"

Some people say this. But people who admire Oda Nobunaga have different opinions.

"No! No! Our generals will not fail easily! This is not because they are afraid of failure, but because they have to move forward; although they are not ready, their actions are as fast as the wind and thunder, and no one can compare to the heroic spirit of Oda Koi. We will win, we will definitely win!"

"Did you remember it? When Luo's Masara, the two heroes of the Warring States Period, was a small family in Kyushu, the crisis he faced was much more dangerous than it is now? I believe that the Oda family will definitely be able to survive the crisis."

...

No matter how the people talk about it, it has no effect on Oda Nobunaga. What ordinary people don’t understand is that even if a famous spy ran to Imakawa Yoshimoto’s camp and told him the real information about Ohara, it may not be detrimental to Oda Nobunaga. Because once different intelligence is received at this time, especially when there are two completely opposite information A and B, just deciding which side should be trusted and how to set a coping strategy is enough for the other party to be confused. Oda Nobunaga would not consider it at all, and he would unswervingly move towards the direction he had already decided.

So after giving his wish, Oda Nobunaga immediately called Kato Shusuke's son Yasaburo to come to him and said:

"Yisanro! Put your ears over!"

"yes!"

"I have something to tell you... do you understand?"

"Yes! That is to use Sasaro's subordinates..."

"Sazaburo is not enough. Even those who have nothing to do, pedestrians on the road, civilians or boatmen, ask them to help send messages."

"I understand!" Kato Yassaburo immediately rode out on his horse. So Oda Nobunaga summoned all the people to count the number.

There were only five riders, and seven riders appeared under the tree behind them. The people who had just arrived and were not in time to put on their shoes gathered in the woods bit by bit. Now they have finally been fully armed and arranged neatly in front of the shrine. The number of people is also increasing, but there are only about five hundred people in total...

Kato Book Assassin finally took out the freshly cooked red rice and shouted again and again:

"Come! Come! Come! Come! Come quickly and have a red meal! This is what the lord ordered. Our army will definitely win this time when fighting, so everyone will have a red meal! It's okay at hand, and everyone who is hungry will come over quickly."

In response, Oda Nobunaga did not thank Shusuke, but shouted to everyone:

"Eat red rice! You can't fight if you are hungry! Come and have red rice!" So everyone gradually walked towards the shrine under his urging.

At this time, the sun was gradually rising in the sky. It was already eight o'clock in the morning, and it was not far from the time when the enemy general Imakawa Yoshimoto Yutaku Castle was set off.

"Hurry up! We're going to set off!"

At this time, the second battle horn was blown again, and everyone was arranged neatly before the shrine again, and the total number had increased to 600. Some people were gradually gathering here, but Oda Nobunaga did not wait for them.

"Monkey! Take the horse over!"

"Yes! The wind is bright! You are certainly a famous horse, but today I, Fujiro, are definitely not inferior to you!" I just came to the journey of three miles, and the wind was still emitting sweat beads of sweat. I didn't even look at Fujiro, but walked to Oda Nobunaga's side automatically.

Oda Nobunaga stretched his back straightened his back to the temple, slowly pulled out his beloved Khao Kyu, held it high and said loudly to everyone:

"I! Nobunaga Oda Konoha has already told the gods that I am about to attack Imakawa Yoshimoto." His eyes were as beautiful as a rainbow, and his breath was as hot as fire.

"Those who are later than me will be ashamed of your descendants!"

"oh!"

"oh!"

"oh!"

...

Everyone was shocked by his momentum, so they held their swords high and raised their heads to echo loudly in the sky.

Immediately, the army officially set off, and the person who was walking in the front was of course Oda Nobunaga.

In the south of Retta Palace, not far from the temple in front of the temple, the two castles of Washizu and Marugen were rushing towards the sky.

The two castles that had been attacked in the morning have now failed and have been burned. This smoke is the sign of the result. At this time, Oda Nobunaga's team was mixed with some very strange flags, and they continued to move forward in a long time.

No! If you look closer and look at these strange flags, you will find that they are actually just old cloth, even with hand-wiping towels and underwear. This may be said to be a pseudo-soldier who was deliberately made by Oda Nobunaga!

Among these pseudo-arm soldiers, you can see at a glance that their identities were originally wild samurai, and they were subordinates of Sasabaō Kojiro! That's right! These people occasionally raise the strange flags in their hands and make very strange sounds. They followed Oda Nobunaga's team like traveling around.

Compared with the lively behavior of these people, Oda Nobunaga's night tour is really comparable to that of these people! Fujiro, who was walking in the front, still carried a storm, and occasionally let it stop by the grass to rest or turn around the circle.

Kamakura Street was at the end of the road, so Oda Nobunaga's team deliberately bypassed the north and moved straight from Himeda toward Naruto. When they passed Yamazaki, they received the first bad news.

"Report!"

A wounded soldier in front of him slowly walked towards Oda Nobunaga.

"Maruenen Castle has fallen, and general Sakuma University has also been killed in battle."

"What!? Dead in college?" In an instant, everyone in the ranks were shocked by the news.

Oda Nobunaga looked at the people in the army and suddenly stood up from his horse. He took out something from his waist bag and hung it on his shoulder.

"Ah!" Everyone screamed.

"That's a Buddhist bead! A huge Buddhist bead!"

Oda Nobunaga looked at the ranks and then said loudly: "Sakama University has been killed in battle. Do you still have to entrust your life to me today?"

"oh!"

"oh!"

At this time, everyone agreed loudly. Because they had to agree, Oda Nobunaga now has an incredible force leading everyone.

"Lord! Let's wait! Let's wait!" Lin Zuodu Shoutongsheng suddenly ran out of the team on a horse.

"What's the matter? Sado!"

"Please listen to your subordinates that both cities of Marukeen and Washizu have fallen, so let's not go in this direction anymore, okay?"

"no!"

"Why? Since Maruen and Washizu have both failed, Tanshi Kazusaki Temple will certainly fall. At this time, more enemies will definitely replace us and enter the city, and our army only has this number of people. If we insist on walking the path forward, wouldn't we be inadequate?"

"Shut up!" Nobunaga Oda shouted, turned his horse's head around, and said to everyone:

"Since I'm going to die, what's the use of saying so many opinions? Everyone! Keep looking forward to me!"

As soon as Oda Nobunaga's words fell, everyone responded to him with a "wow" sound, and Lin Sado's shadow disappeared in the dust.

When the second bad news came, it was on their way toward the Tanxia. Maeda Yuzaemon Riki, who had been missing since the Aichito Ami incident, also participated in the war today. Since he wanted to return to Oda Nobunaga again, he had fought with Okabe Motoshi Nobunaga's army, but he was finally outnumbered and defeated near the Gu Minghai. Now this news has also been heard.

"What? Zuo Zhan was defeated again?"

"Yes, and it could be life-threatening."

When the young soldier covered in scars reported this, Oda Nobunaga couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said:

"Quick! We must be fast! We must never let Imakawa Yoshimoto enter the Otaka Castle! We must be fast!"

When difficulties arose, Oda Nobunaga's army's advancement speed was faster, which not only reflected Oda Nobunaga's mood, but also reflected his morale. This is exactly what is called turning grief and anger into strength! Now Oda Nobunaga is eager to kill Naruhira Castle and Okabe Moto Nobunaga immediately to fight for his life!

When the third bad news came, Oda Nobunaga seemed to have predicted it and was waiting for it. This time the news was that Danxia City had been broken, and the defending general Sasa Masaji and his fifty subordinates had all been killed. Now the streets of Naruhira have been closely guarded by the enemy army.

If you want to fight Imakawa Yoshimoto here, you will be able to decide the outcome in less than a moment. OK! It depends on the situation! If you fight the enemy to the death here, the enemy will immediately spread the news about Oda Nobunaga to the rear, and Imakawa Yoshimoto had already entered Otaka Castle by then.

Once Imakawa Yoshimoto enters Takashima, their efforts to set out before the sky is clear will be in vain.

Imakawa Yoshimoto himself led 4,000 direct troops, and Matsuhei Motoyashi led 2,500 elite troops to defend the city. Now the garrison of Naruto City is as solid as a god. If a surprise attack is launched at this time, it may become a situation where he is attacked from both sides. Doing so is like a moth to a fire, and he will inevitably be unable to escape the fate of failure.

It was noon time. Oda Nobunaga is now in a dilemma.

"Let the horse stop..."

Fireworks rose up in the northwest of the Zenzawa Temple wall. When Fujiro received this order, he couldn't help but look back at Oda Nobunaga and found that his whole body was covered in sweat, dust, and his face looked particularly stiff and pale:

"What do you imply in the bad news that comes again and again? What should I do? But I can't pause. I have to find a way out no matter what. I must take action, otherwise I will be as timid as a kangaroo."

"Lord, lord, I have something to tell you, where is the lord?" At this moment, Mu Zao Chongzhong, who had been investigating the enemy's situation, rushed back.

"Hey! Hey! Shigetachi, here, I am Kishita!" Fujiyoshiro shouted immediately after seeing that it was Kizunaki.

"oh!"

When he saw Fujiyoshiro leading a horse for Oda Nobunaga, Kizaki Shigetachi ran over immediately.

"What's the matter?" At this time, Oda Nobunaga also discovered that Kizao Shigetachi was also found. This retainer recommended by the Maeda family was quite capable. At least Oda Nobunaga still had an impression of him.

"Lord! The sedan chair Imagawa Yoshimoto was just riding in was resting in Tarasa. I think this news is necessary to tell you." Kizunoshi Shigetachi immediately reported to Oda Nobunaga.

In history, Masato Yoshida led people to tell Oda Nobunaga this news, but for some reason, this time Masato Yoshida took people to other directions. Kizao Shigetachi, who had been reminded by Masatoro, has been focusing on the place Tarasama. Sure enough, he discovered the location of Yoshimoto Imakawa, so he quickly came back to report to Nobunaga Oda. The wheel of history had changed slightly due to Masatoro's appearance, but now it has slightly returned to its original trajectory.

"What? In Tarasa! This matter is serious?" Oda Nobunaga's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then confirmed again.

"Lord, this matter is seen by me personally. At this time, there are still companions monitoring the situation of Imakawa Yoshimoto Camp." Kizuo Shigetachi said immediately. The companions he mentioned were the intelligence cabinet personnel lurking in the local area of ​​the Luo family.

"Okay, okay!" Oda Nobunaga nodded immediately. At that moment, a large black cloud was blocking the sky in the south for a long time, but an ivory-like white light was emitted from it, and it gradually moved in this direction. However, no one noticed this phenomenon, but Oda Nobunaga saw it, so he tried his best to sit on the sky at the north with his eyes wide open and looked towards the sky in the north...

At this time, Imakawa Yoshimoto was very open because he had just received good news that Matsuhira Motoyaki had cut off the head of Oda general Sakuma Morijo and Maruen Castle had also been broken.

"Okay! The outcome has been decided. We have been sweating so much and finally got a price! Okay! Let's enter Dagao City as soon as possible!"

When he was about to order the troops to continue moving forward:

"Report!"

Yoshihisa Horikoshi, who was walking in front, returned to the sedan chair.

"What's the matter? Yoshijiu!"

"There is good news to report to you. At the same time as Matsuhira Motoyashi and is attacking Washizu Castle, there is news back."

"What? Washizu? Can Tai win?"

"As you said," Yoshihiro replied, which made Imakawa Yoshimoto even happier:

"The enemy's guard General Oda Genbo Nobuhei is a famous brave soldier. Although he personally fought against Matsuhira's forces this time, he was finally broken through the city gate while Akihina took the lead and fought bravely. Not only was the castle burned, but our army had already entered the city."

"So, what's wrong with the guard general Xuan Fanxinping?"

"Xuanfan saw that the city could no longer be defended, so he left his subordinates' bodies and fled towards Qingzhou City. Now the castle is under the control of our army."

"Hahaha..." Hearing the successive good news, Imakawa Yoshimoto was so happy.

"So bad! Yoshijiu! Yuankang took down the enemy's head, and Tai Neng killed the opponent and fled in panic. OK! Go and inform him. Never rest. Keep chasing those defeated deserters!"

"Yes!" So Yoshijiu hurriedly left, and someone came in again:

"Report!"

Imakawa Yoshimoto, who was sitting in a sedan chair with his head on both hands, looked up and saw that the person coming in was Masato Asagawa, who was also one of the guards in this ranks.

"Zhengmin, what's the matter? Tell me quickly, don't stop here, the weather is too hot."

"Now the polite ones are here again!"

"What? The rituals... are good! They are here again? Hahaha! OK! OK! Tell them that Colonel Imagawa Oshima is definitely a compassionate general. If they want them to be at ease, I will not do anything that goes against the laws of nature!"

When he said this, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "What tribute did the tribute bring this time?"

Perhaps because he was in a good mood at the moment, Imakawa Yoshimoto wanted to know what these tributeists had given him.

"Yes. In my Zhengmin's opinion, they were indeed very sincere this time! They brought ten bags of rice. They considered that it was noon when we passed by here, and in order to cooperate with the general's lunch time, they sent more than thirty boxes of rice dumplings made of rice cakes, wine, roasted birds, dried fish and other foods, and brought them with stone horses!"

"What? There are thirty boxes of palm and ten wine? Is the lives of the people nearby so rich?"

"No! They were just to express their blessings to us for this Battle of Shangluo, and they specially regarded the Battle of Shangluo as a festival-like celebration. And they had been waiting for our army to launch the Battle of Shangluo for a long time. When I heard them say this, I was moved by their sincerity, so I think I should tell you."

"Oh! So that's it! Hahaha..." Imakawa Yoshimoto laughed happily again. Of course, for a new conqueror, there was nothing more joyful than hearing these words.

"They brought the rice cakes for holidays to wish the success of the Battle of Shangluo, and they have been waiting for me to come to Shangluo for a long time. So what do they say?"

"Yes! The thirty boxes of rice dumplings they brought may have to be gathered together with the villagers from several villages to make them endlessly. Therefore, if you can say a word to them in the sedan chair as you move forward, they will definitely feel very happy, and I, Zhengmin, will also feel very honored."

"Okay! OK! As you said..."

Halfway through the conversation, Imakawa Yoshimoto suddenly thought:

"Zhengmin! I think this is better! It's already lunch time, so I think we might as well stop here for dinner."

"Yes! Now I will go over and notify them immediately, because the people are already sweating profusely waiting!"

"Okay, it's almost noon now, and this is their kindness. I want to park my sedan chair in the woods in front, and then give the rice dumplings to everyone, and also give the wine sent by the gifter to everyone, let's have a drink and celebrate this victory together."

"Then it's under the woods of that hill..."

"Yes! Just do that! Dagaocheng is very close anyway, so let's take a break here for a while!"

"Yes! Then I'll go and get a tent right now..."

"Okay! Just right! Try to find a place with shade, and ask those ceremonies to send a representative to my tent. I want to meet him!" Imakawa Yoshimoto felt very good when he heard the news from Masato.

Just now he was thinking that it might be cooler if he entered Dagao City as soon as possible. However, he now thought that it would be good to find a place with shade in the forest of Prince Genqiu to rest, and the rice dumplings sent by these gifted people could be used as lunch here.

Asakawa Masatoto then ordered the team to stop in Tianlewa and set up a tent in the woods of Prince Genqiu. In this not very wide mountain road, there were five thousand soldiers holding swords and guns, each of whom was sweating and dripping constantly.

The sudden change of the Imakawa family army was quickly learned by the Luo Family Intelligence Pavilion staff who were monitoring them around them, so they quickly sent someone to inform Kizao Shigetachi. Coincidentally, Kizao Shigetachi, who had already reported to Oda Nobunaga, was also rushing back, so they met halfway.

After learning about the news that Imakawa Yoshimoto stopped for lunch, Kizao Shigetachi immediately turned his head and returned to Oda Nobunaga to report:

"Report."

However, at this time, Oda Nobunaga kept looking at the sky, as if he was thinking about something.

"Colonel Imakawa Oshima stopped to rest in Tarawa and was having lunch."

"What? He stopped the army in Tarawa?" Oda Nobunaga seemed to see through Kizunaga Shigetachi stared at him.

"Is this true?"

"Yes. According to the report sent back by the spy, a group of gifted men brought rice dumplings, wine and delicacies to Imakawa Yoshimoto. He distributed the things to the soldiers, and he rested in the tent."

Hearing this, Oda Nobunaga suddenly breathed and turned around and said to Fujiro:

"Did you hear it? Monkey!"

"Yeah! What's the matter?"

Fujiro replied pretending to be unaware. Of course, he could not have heard of this. They pretended to be like this on purpose. Imakawa Yoshimoto would actually stop to accept the wine and drinks of the rituals and rest, which was really unbelievable like a dream.

At this time, Oda Nobunaga felt that the blood in his body was excited again, which made his tears almost burst out. He gritted his teeth and savored the feeling carefully, looked at Fujiro's face who pretended not to know, and he finally smiled.

Regarding the changes in their expressions, Kizuno Tada said to Oda Nobunaga without knowing it with a serious expression:

"Lord! Imakawa has captured Washizu and Marukeen. It seems that they are fully prepared. We cannot run out too impulsively at this time!"

"Quickly loyal!"

"exist!"

"We won!" Oda Nobunaga said in a low voice, suddenly looking up at the sky again. At this time, the sky was covered with dark clouds. The dark cloud that was still in the south just now has moved rapidly to the north, covering people's heads like black hair.

Seeing this scene, Oda Nobunaga couldn't help laughing. It seemed that not only the delicacies given by the ceremonies, but also the head of Imakawa Yoshimoto who was resting in Tarawa, were beginning to worry about being attacked by the heavy rain.

"Everyone! The retribution will end after the third one." Just as everyone was surprised by Oda Nobunaga's sudden laughter, Oda Nobunaga said loudly and looked back at everyone.

"The next thing is good news! This afternoon thunderstorm must be the god of Retian who is helping us."

His words made everyone look up at the sky. Originally, their morale had been blown by the blows of fierce retribution, so they did not pay any attention to the changes in the climate.

"It seems like a heavy rain is coming!"

"Look at how big that cloud is, even the wind appears."

"We want to ride the wind to fight against the enemy. This is the blessing given to us by the God of Refield!" The soldiers who were once in despair raised their heads and whispered in the sky, and their morale was once again boosted.

"Boom!" As if I understood the mood of everyone at this moment, a thunder suddenly sounded in the sky, and then a heavy rain of soybeans came.

Raindrops as big as beans hit their armor. At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew, causing the green trees in the wild to fall one side.

"Look!"

Oda Nobunaga pointed at the sky, then turned his horse's head and stood up.

"The thunderstorm and strong wind finally came, and we rode the thunderstorm and the strong wind rushed towards Tian Lesanjian."

"yes!"

"Before approaching the enemy, everyone should put away the flags and take them out again when they arrive at the edge of Prince Neshan Mountain. This battle is related to the rise and fall of the Oda family, but I hope everyone will not rush to seize the credit, and the victory of the entire army should be the priority. Well! I don't want any heads except Imakawa Yoshimoto. Killing the heads of the enemy's chief general is the way for me, Oda Koko. Remember to seize the main general to succeed!"

"yes!"

"Monkey! Chongzhong! Let's go!"

"yes!"

Fujiro and Kizuo Shigetachi ran again.

"Hurry! Don't lose to your lord!"

"The place we are going to is Prince Ne from the north of Aihara!"
Chapter completed!
