A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Chapter 739 20. Kanai Hideharu takes the lead

To be honest, Oda Nobunaga's cultivation was just like that. It was obvious to everyone what a bastard he was in the past, which made his teacher Hirate so angry that he committed suicide. When he first met Ashikaga Yoshiaki, he didn't understand any samurai etiquette, so he relied on Akechi Mitsuhide and Hosokawa Fujitaka to teach him on the spot.

Now that the outbreak has occurred, I naturally started to practice things like tea ceremony, waka, and connected poems. His demeanor has also become restrained, and he is no longer as familiar as before.

Even so, Nobunaga almost burst out when he heard the words "Lieutenant General has abdominal pain and it is difficult to send troops!"

Kitahata Nobugi actually sat back and watched the success or failure, and obeyed and disobeyed Nobunaga's transfer orders. At a time like this, let alone abdominal pain, even if you are dead, you still have to be carried forward!

According to some anecdotes, when advancing to attack the enemy, it is worthy of praise even if all the big and small soldiers are mounted on the horse. The martial arts disciples are all superior to those who fight bravely and loyally.

How painful is this, so that we can’t even send troops!

But thinking about the circle of former Kitahata family ministers surrounding Kitahata Shinju, Oda Nobunaga seemed to have some understanding.

I only regret that I didn't break my promise and kill Kitahata Tomokao, Kitahata Tomofusa and his son, and the gang of young men. Then he arranged for his cronies, the Owari clan, to take over Okouchi Castle together, giving these clowns a chance.

"Kosaburo! Take my sword and go and urge the Lieutenant General to send troops!" Nobunaga glanced at his horse and hit one of them.

"Yes!" Okada Nagato Mamoru Shigetaka immediately came out.

As a member of the Owari clan, he is Nobunaga's most trusted base. Everyone is a community of destiny. After Nobunaga is finished, Owari will be a piece of meat on the Yamauchi family's chopping board. Okada Shigetaka will definitely work hard.

Taking Nobunaga's sword was equivalent to becoming the imperial envoy overseeing the army. To put it bluntly, anyone who stopped sending troops would be killed. They are just clowns who only dare to obey the law. If they were really capable, they would have jumped on the spot and started fighting.

After thinking about it for a while, Nobunaga sent dozens of additional cavalry to Okada Shigetaka, as he might not be able to do it alone.

"Instruct Kankuro and Hizen to gather all the people from Tenjin Mountain and Matsuo Mountain to rescue Mikawa Mamoru!"

It is estimated that it will take some time to deal with the matter of Kitahata's letter, but the military situation is urgent, and Nobunaga has to send the last reserve force.

Some of the Meinō soldiers led by Oda Nobutada and Kawajiri Hidetaka have been on the second line at the moment and have not been engaged in combat, so they are considered effective. Moreover, there is no doubt that these two people are loyal to Nobunaga. One is his son and the other is a veteran minister.

Shiban rushed down to the main platform and issued the order. As expected, Oda Nobutada and Kawajiri Hidetaka on Tenjin Mountain and Matsuo Mountain moved down the mountain to the right wing of the Orita Allied Forces without saying a word.

Nobunaga breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyes continued to return to the most intense battle between the two sides in the center.

Just after knocking down Sanada Nobutsuna's large step-marked horse with one shot, the Sanada troops began to retreat in a panic, and the Yamauchi army's fifth assault on Oda's middle section was repelled.

Both sides were concerned about what happened to Sanada Nobutsuna. Nobunaga naturally hoped that Sanada Nobutsuna would be shot to death, while Sanada Masayuki on Yamauchi's side even got on his horse and rushed out to find his elder brother. The Sanada brothers respect each other and love each other. Sanada Masayuki's life was saved by his elder brother, and he will not disrespect and love him.

When he saw Sanada Nobutsuna running back holding the horse's neck, Sanada Masayuki breathed a sigh of relief.

Oda Nobunaga knocked down the horse with one shot, and also shocked Sanada Nobutsuna and his horse in front of the horse. That horse is also a good horse, but no matter how good the horse is, it is impossible to completely ignore the cannonball exploding behind its butt.

The horse was frightened and knocked Sanada Nobutsuna off. The attendants of the Kawahara Tsuna family were standing by, and they were also very frightened, but the young man picked up Sanada Nobutsuna and ran back without saying a word. On the way, he also snatched a horse and put Sanada Nobutsuna on it.

Nothing happened, he was just thrown off a horse and was knocked unconscious for a while, but now he has woken up.

This round of advance failed again, and everyone was quite upset. They never expected that Oda Nobunaga's cannon could hit so far.

"I'll go out in person!" Hosokawa Saime really couldn't sit still and was ready to make the sixth advance in person.

"I'll go, my father is here to command the troops." Sanada Masayuki stopped him, firstly because his elder brother had been defeated for a while and he wanted to work harder, and secondly because he thought it was not Hosokawa's turn to go into battle yet.

"I've rested enough, let me go!" Kanai Meigoro pulled out the Odachi, feeling proud of himself.

The first horse defense fence in the center was broken through by Kanai Meigoro. When it comes to killing people, a swordsman like him is really a good hand. If the Yamauchi family is to say that they are number one in foot combat, it may be that no one can compete with him.

"Meigoro, you go first, and I will take over personally. We must break through this round!" Hosokawa Saime agreed, but she was still ready to go out.

"Okay!" Kanai Meigoro didn't waste any words. He tied up his gold-leaf Nanman pocket and stuck a "five" flag on his back.

Yamauchi's fifth division of the flag team once again entered the battle, and among the crowd, Kanai Meigoro was particularly eye-catching.

"It's Kanai Kahi Mori Hideharu, known as the ghost Kanai, advancing in the sixth stage!" Nobunaga's right pen Ohta Ushiichi shouted loudly.

"The one who will join the rear is Hosokawa Saimezadao! There are about 1,700 cavalry in total!"

Listening to Ota Ushiichi's shouts, Oda Nobunaga probably knew in his mind that the Yamauchi Army had mobilized the two most courageous generals to try to break through in one fell swoop.

"Yozaemon, hurry up and bring three hundred iron cannons. Don't be stingy and shoot with all your strength!"

"Understood!" As a general of iron artillery, Sasa Narimasa has been waiting for battle for a long time and can be dispatched at any time.

Kanai Meigoro's reputation was all based on the Ohno sword in his hand. In the Battle of Suzukitakeguchi, a few soldiers fought fiercely with tens of thousands of Takeda troops, and he gained a great reputation.

It is rumored by everyone that there is a general in golden armor in the mountain army who is unparalleled in bravery and can kill yakshas at night and ward off ghosts and gods.

Sasaki Narimasa is not an incompetent person, so he is naturally eager to fight against such an opponent. Riding horses all the way, he directed Nobunaga's iron cannons to quickly support the second horse defense fence in the center.

Hashiba Hideyoshi has been holding here for almost an hour. The soldiers are exhausted, and the iron cannon has long been overheated and cannot be used anymore. Now that he has received the support of Sasaki Narimasa, he is naturally overjoyed. Pointing to the "five" flag, he told him about the deeds of Kanai Meigoro.

Onigai is naturally capable of bluffing, and many of Kanai Meigoro's subordinates are his fellow clansmen and fellow apprentices. His martial arts skills are quite good, and his command is smoother than others.

In front of them, the two sides were fighting back and forth at the fence. One side wanted to break through, and the other side was naturally holding on. It was not the turn of Kanai Meigoro, who was good at using the nodachi, to take action, until a fence finally became loose.

"Someone pulled out the horse fence!" Kanai Minggoro immediately prepared to lead the team forward.

"That person is Kanai Kahi Mori Hideharu!"
