A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Xuanyao's golden bamboo leaf horse mark keeps moving forward. Every time it advances, it suppresses the Zhide coalition forces on the other side of Lianwu River.

It's not because Fujiwara Danmasa under the horse is unparalleled in martial arts. When it comes to martial arts. Almost any samurai in the Oroku alliance can easily defeat Fujiwara Danmasa. Even an ordinary soldier may fight Fujiwara for several rounds, and it is not impossible to defeat him.

But what this horse mark represents is the dozens of battles in the past twenty years, the ingenious plan to defeat Odawara, and the victory over Negawa with only a few soldiers. Three hundred people defended the sutra and were not defeated. Ten thousand people went to attack the 50,000 Beiwu Allied Forces. The world praised the Tsuna family of Sister Xiaolu as an unparalleled general in ancient and modern times!

It seemed that there was a "boom" sound that could be heard by human ears. The Oda people who were still holding on to the third horse defense fence in the center were oppressed by the momentum of only a thousand people. In the distance, under the golden bamboo leaf horse mark, a skinny general with a full body and a Southern barbarian body suddenly swelled in stature and rushed in surrounded by the army.

Oda was defeated!

"This is a good opportunity!" Fujiwara Dan pointed forward with his green bamboo pole in his forehand. Changyi, who had been waiting for the battle for a long time, shouted and moved forward fiercely.

Riding on the horse, Ikeda Hengxing shouted loudly not to retreat, but it was obvious that his rank was far inferior to Fujiwara Dansheng. The soldiers who were originally shaken in military morale were now oppressed by the strong momentum and were unwilling to fight back at all. Even if Ikeda Hengxing's horse battle was hit in the face, they still ran backwards using their hands and feet.

Seeing the Yamauchi army rolling in, Ikeda Hengxing glanced at the Yongle Tongbao horse logo on the main stage, sighed deeply, and followed the crowd to retreat.

When the center collapsed, Oda Nobutada, Kawajiri Hidetaka, and Sakai Tadashi, who were still fighting on the right wing of the Oritoku coalition, were shocked, and their connection with their own team was cut off. Moreover, he was still being attacked by Master Yamauchi and could not escape quickly, whether by running away or joining Oda Nobunaga.

"Hizen, where are we going now?" Oda Nobutada was a little panicked.

After all, he was only eighteen years old, and although he had already had several battle experiences, Oda Nobutada still felt somewhat helpless about the situation that was changing.

"What do you think, young master?" Hidetaka Kawajiri glanced back.

The Okazaki soldiers there were trying to reorganize under the shouts of many samurai. Although they were hit hard by the Yamauchi chief planner Yoshio Yamauchi and his son, the Mikawa soldier's patience was still good. Since the warriors have not yet fled the battlefield, they may not be unable to fight again as long as there is enough time.

"Abandon this place and go to Taihara where my father is?" His assistant, Hidetaka Kawajiri, uncharacteristically did not answer his question. Instead, he asked for his opinion. Oda Nobutada could only answer tentatively.

"So the young master thinks that His Highness is still victorious?" Hidetaka Kawajiri's eyes suddenly became sharp for some reason.

"The tide of victory and defeat is turning, and Taro Shimomataro is even more likely to win!" Oda Nobutada is a descendant of the samurai family. How could he not see this?

"Then the young master thinks that just these few thousand cavalry can turn the tide of the battle?"

"It seems impossible..."

"Since you can't! How about giving in?"

"..." Oda Nobutada is not a stupid person. In just a few words, he understood what Kawajiri Hidetaka meant.

The Okazaki people who sold out Tokugawa Ieyasu let thousands of them crowd here to delay the sudden incoming Yamauchi army. And the two of them didn't go to save Oda Nobunaga. Anyway, the situation was clearly leaning towards the Yamauchi Army, so they might as well run away as soon as possible.

As long as they run back to Owari, the 10,000 soldiers and horses who have been staying at Owari to defend Nagashima and the thousands of troops under the two men will still have the resources to rescue and resist.

"No, no, no, no..." Oda Nobutada thought about it in his mind and quickly shook his head in opposition.

"Okay! Since the young master is determined, I will go with the young master!" Seeing Oda Nobutada's reaction, Kawajiri Hidetaka knew that the young man could not persuade him, so he immediately made a decision.

The two people ended the conversation quickly, but there was no hesitation or difference between the two people. They abandoned the Okazaki people and let them delay the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses on the left wing of the mountain.

It's just that Kawajiri Hidetaka is planning to run away directly, while Oda Nobutada is planning to save his father, Oda Nobunaga. As for whether to continue fighting to the death or run with his father when they reach the stage, it depends on the situation.

Just as the two expected, after Kamao Tohide, Ikeda Tsuneaki, Fuha Mitsuharu and others who were defending behind the third central horse defense fence retreated backwards, the Yamauchi Army's advance and advance reserves did not care about those who were behind. Instead of defeating the defeated Oda army, a group of troops were left behind to continue driving away the defeated troops, ensuring that the defeated troops could not stop to collect and regroup.

Most of the remaining troops immediately turned around and joined forces with Imagawa Yoshichita and other troops on the right wing of the Yamauchi Army to surround the Sakuma, Takikawa, Niwa and other troops gathered around the Danzheng platform, as well as the Oda headquarters.

……………………

"I have received your orders from His Highness, Lieutenant General, to send troops!" Shigetaka Okada didn't waste any words. After seeing Kitahata's letter, he loudly asked him to send troops down the mountain quickly to support the precarious center and right wings of the Oda army.

"My Highness, the abdominal pain has not stopped, so I cannot send troops." As a general of a kinship of the Kitahata clan, Kizuki Kumasa is the third younger brother of the Kitahata clan and the theoretical uncle of Kitahata Shingi.

"I look at the general's face as normal. It's really hard to mobilize the troops because of abdominal pain!" Okada Shigetaka, as Nobunaga's horse, is the iron among the irons and supports the Oda family wholeheartedly.

There was nothing wrong with this Kitahata letter at first glance. It was clearly an excuse not to send troops to support Oda Nobunaga's war. Moreover, although these former ministers of the Kitahata clan surrendered to Oda Nobunaga and temporarily recognized Kitahata Xinji as the head of the Kitahata clan, the Kitahata clan is still an independent daimyo.

The reason why I can come this time is not because Kitahata Nobunaga is Oda Nobunaga's biological brother, and the Kitahata family cannot defeat Oda Nobunaga for the time being, so they need to be obedient.

"Don't talk nonsense! My Highness is just taking some time off for now!"

"I am the military supervisor assigned by Tanshoden. I have been ordered to urge the people of Kitahata to send troops. I ask the Lieutenant General to send troops immediately without any further delay!" Okada Shigetaka refused to engage in verbal disputes with others and asked Kitahata to express his position immediately.

Kitahata Nobugi opened his mouth, not knowing how to reply to Okada Shigetaka. He is naturally willing to save his brother Oda Nobunaga, but as the head of the Kitahata family, he is purely relying on Oda Nobunaga's military power. Now that Oda Nobunaga is in danger, his little authority as the head of the family will naturally be withheld. It's very critical.

There were also a few people brought by the Oda family around him, but unfortunately they were so inconspicuous that they were unable to control most of the Kitahata clan's military territory. Kitahata and his son were reclusive on the surface, but active and lively behind the scenes. The combination of the two created a void for Kitahata.

"Okada Nagatomomo!" Someone suddenly shouted from behind!
