Chapter 102 One step away

"...Princess, I just listened to the report of the scouts who came back. It is said that just yesterday, a farmer near here saw the suspected head of the Imagawa family on this road."

At this time, Niwa Changhide had already got off the horse swiftly and neatly. While stretching out a slender and beautiful hand, he picked up the water bag, first took a sip, and then poured all the remaining clear water on the horse to help the horse. It cools down further.

She turned her head and said to Oda Nobuna: "Although those farmers have never seen Imagawa Yoshimoto, she should be the only one who has such doubts about the expensive clothes... Based on this From the reports from other teams in the past few days and a few contact battles, we should not go wrong."

Although he was talking about such "good news", Niwa Chohide didn't feel much joy, instead there was a trace of solemnity in his eyes.

Because this means that the real battle will come soon, maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and I and others will have to face that monster with unheard of power and lightning speed!As long as he recalled the situation that day, this intellectual and elegant beauty couldn't help but feel a severe chill.

It's not that she hasn't heard rumors about practitioners such as onmyojis and witches, and she also knows that although there are few such people, some of them do have incomprehensible powers, and they came to help her wait a few days ago. The ninja who looks like a little girl like a human has also mastered some ninjutsu that outsiders can't imagine.

Also, for example, the princess maiden of the Yamato court is also inseparable from mysticism.

However, after all, I have never witnessed it with my own eyes, and I have never heard of anyone who can simply use the power of the flesh-body to reach that terrible level-a real practitioner should not be someone who has mastered something Is it art or cultivation of the spiritual realm? Why is it such a bloody hand tearing genre? !
It's still the kind of horror that kills the air every second, and the violent flow of iron fists catches whoever is second!
However, Oda Nobuna's eyes shone with surprise. She looked at the part where the surrounding hillsides meet the surrounding flat land, as if she was carefully observing the foothills covered by the thick layer of loose sediment, and she seemed to be in the middle of the mountain. Mind wandering, thinking about something else.

About a minute later, the girl seemed to be muttering to herself, and seemed to be asking someone: "So did the dispatch of other teams arrive at the scheduled location as scheduled? Is it possible for us to escape in Imagawa Yoshimoto?" Stop her retreat before returning to Sanhe?"

It's just that besides Niwa Nagahide, there are only Shibata Katsuie and Maeda Inuchiyo next to her, so even though this question has no clear direction, as long as you are not a fool, you can definitely tell who she is confirming with.

Shibata Katsuie did not speak.

Maeda Inuchiyo looked at Niwa Nagahide.

"This..." Niwa Chohide quickly calculated, and then said in a very serious tone: "Their speed is very fast, but they don't know the specific route, so we are gradually catching up, according to the current situation Look, we should be able to form a siege by the time they've just crossed the Three Rivers border—"

"Going to cross the border of Sanhe?" The brown-haired Ji Daming frowned unabashedly. She is actually very aware of the current situation and when she will be able to catch up with the target. That's why she asked this question, but It is just a confirmation step to make myself feel more at ease.

But it seems that Niwa Nagahide's answer is quite different from her estimated answer.

Because she predicted that she should be able to surround the other party just before she returned to Sanhe.

"In fact, it is between the border of Owari and Mikawa, but it was just taken away not long ago, and it became the territory that was actually separated by the Imagawa family..." Niwa Nagahide pointed out the subconsciousness of Oda Nobuna very calmly. , the reason for the error.

Suddenly, Oda Nobuna showed a very complicated expression.

After being silent for a while, she waved her hand decisively and gave the order: "Camp in place, and the whole army rests for two hours...March through the night tonight, and continue to maintain the current speed."

Although due to the wrong estimate, I feel that the situation that was originally a sure thing has changed again, so I feel anxious.However, Oda Nobuna resolutely did not blindly seek speed, but chose to continue to push steadily and press hard.

Niwa Chohide approved of this very much, but she hesitated for a moment, and took two small steps to approach her lord, and she was still graceful and calm despite the dust and dust, "Princess, although I also think that only doing this can save the disadvantage, but then What we have to face down is...that ghost..."

Maybe it was because she was afraid of affecting the current high morale, so she deliberately lowered her voice and said so.

However, Oda Nobuna retorted without thinking: "I have made up my mind long ago, Manchiyo, you don't have to say it anymore, I will not despise that "person", but I will definitely not be intimidated by his existence. "

Her eyes were very blazing at this moment, as if the flame of willpower was burning in them.

"Even ghosts and gods can't easily block my way-this is not the rainy day before, nor is it the narrow terrain. Going forward is the thick tail plain. The terrain is open and flat. As long as we are surrounded by our army , suppressed with muskets and crossbows, even ghosts and gods can only die on the spot in vain!"

Niwa Nagahide opened his mouth, but in the end he could only sigh and show a confused but elegant smile again.

She didn't have any good solutions herself. Before Imagawa Yoshimoto was resolved, the Oda family's difficulties were not over.She just reminded the link that might go wrong out of the duty of a courtier.

But when her lord has really made a decision, she can only do her best to help her master and fulfill that request.

……

……

time flies.

A book is long, no book is short.

Taking the lord of the country to flee these days, Mu Xiu deeply understood what it means to learn by doing.For example, even if he does not rely on the induction of the magnetic field by the electromagnetic ability, and does not have the cheating ability like a compass, he can still determine the direction through the changing positions and moving trajectories of the sun, moon, and stars.

Even just by looking at the positions of the stars in the sky or the height of the sun, he can roughly determine the specific time of day.

Moreover, in the process of hunting various animals as rations, he has now mastered some superficial methods of tracking the traces of prey, and thus extended the primary technology of anti-tracking—plus, as a modern person, what he has received The baptism of all kinds of strange and varied information broadened his thinking.

Therefore, many aspects have been considered. Whether it is forging traces or erasing traces, he has become more and more handy, making the Oda army who chased and killed him complain endlessly.

After all, science and technology are the primary productive forces. Although this ability is not science, it is also considered technology. It is roughly estimated that it is 500 years ahead in depth, and it must be able to beat the natives of the Warring States Period to the ground.If Oda Nobuna and the others had enough time, they would not be misled by him, but the current situation is that both sides are fighting for time.

As long as there is a slight judgment error, it will take several times of effort afterwards to recover the lost time.

Unknowingly, both sides have entered the final stage of the sprint. Although they haven't really met yet, both Mu Xiu and Oda Nobuna have made quite consistent choices one after another inexplicably.

At this moment, Mu Xiu, who watched the sun sinking in the sky and realized that his time was running out, subconsciously quickened his pace.On the vast plain, only a swift figure could be seen charging fast, almost dragging a cloud of smoke behind him.

"The essence of knowledge color is actually the "power of hearing", but it is not as simple as the literal meaning. You can understand it more generally as perception, hearing, vision, intuition, etc. collectively.Lord, you have actually mastered the basics of this ability now, and as long as you continue to practice, you will eventually continue to strengthen and improve..."

But he didn't stop his teaching, and he continued to tell the black, long, straight girl in his arms all about his understanding of domineering and swordsmanship.

Now Yoshimoto Imakawa didn't know whether he was giving up on himself or he was used to it, so he quietly let him hug him, and listened carefully to the fleeting words in the whistling wind.She gritted her teeth lightly and asked, "What about the armed color? How about this?"

"The requirements for this are relatively high, but strong beliefs, momentum, or a firm heart can be the key... You have to understand what you want to do, you have to believe in what you can do, strong beliefs and momentum , or a firm will, will turn into real strength when you need it—”

Mu Xiu thought for a moment, then quickly organized his words and expressed his own experience.

But his words stopped abruptly without warning, and even his running at high speed stopped suddenly.The feeling that the high-speed movement stopped instantly made the Lord feel nauseous for no reason, and his head was dizzy for a while, but then she heard the sound of the rushing river in front of her.

"I feel that this place looks a little familiar..." Mu Xiu sighed softly, looked at the setting sun that had already slanted west, and then carefully put down the lord from his arms.

Imagawa Yoshimoto regained his footing, and quickly tidied up his clothes and hair that was slightly messed up by the wind. She frowned and looked around. At first, her small face was confused for less than two seconds, and then Then it became a look of sudden realization:
"This is the Nobi Plains, the previous battlefield, our family's main camp is here... cross the river and continue eastward, it is the territory of the Imagawa family, it is mine——no, this is already ours It seems that we have already left the Owari territory..."

Her tone suddenly became excited.

Mu Xiu touched his nose, and while urging the heat in his body to restore his vitality, he indifferently poured cold water on the head of the excited Lord: "Even if this is your territory , and there are no actual soldiers guarding and patrolling, and the branch city has not been established, so what is the difference between being in the wild?"

The lord of the country pouted dissatisfiedly, glanced at Mu Xiu, and then muttered in a low voice that he could only hear: "It's our territory, anyway, you are still my retainer..."

Then she also faced the reality, and said seriously: "Then hurry up and cross the river! As long as you continue to walk east, you will soon reach Shangxiang City. Although it is only a small town in Mikawa, Owari has absolutely no ability to go deep there. It's..."

"It's not that simple, and it's too late now—"

Mu Xiu lightly interrupted the girl's suggestion. He looked at the distant horizon and narrowed his eyes slightly: "I'm afraid we need to fight to open a way."
