Civilization Guardian Front

"Father, why don't we go directly to Narumi Castle..."

A young girl came forward. She was wearing red Weitong Wan, with a delicate face and a white scarf tied on her forehead. Her mid-length black hair was slightly fluttering in the wind, and the knife around her waist was kept in a dark red sheath.

"The Oda army found out that our army is coming, and they are worried about the possibility of being attacked by the enemy. It is impossible to attack Narumi Castle with all their strength, right?"

"That's not necessarily true, Naotora..." Ii Naotori turned his head to look at his daughter, his tense expression relaxed a little.

"If Narumi Castle Sannomaru has not been captured, it's okay according to what you said, but Okabe Goro Bingwei is now trapped in Ninomaru, and he is already too busy to take care of himself, so why bother to attack?"

The middle-aged samurai pointed to Narumi Castle in the distance, sighing unavoidably:

"Oda Kami Sosuke's offensive is so fierce, it's really beyond my expectation."

Hearing this, Jing Yi Naotora was a little depressed.

"But... can't we come here with 7000 people and can't do anything?"

bump!

"No, it's not that we can't do anything..." Ii Naomori slammed his fist on the tree trunk beside him, and said to the girl beside him:

"In a battle with the Oda Army, even if our troops are slightly weaker, the enemy cannot be defeated in a short time. Only in the face of our army's all-out onslaught, will the Oda Army have any scruples and suspend their invasion of Narumi Castle!"

"Father, what do you mean... to fight against the Oda army with inferior forces?" Ii Naotora's eyes widened slightly, looking at his father's resolute and serious face.

"In the Oda army, there are fierce generals such as Oni Shibata and Golden Eyed Oni!"

"Not a showdown..."

A veteran who is nearly half a century old, long past the age of passion, he is clear about his responsibilities.

Narumi Castle is located at the key point of Tokaido leading to Kiyosu Castle and Mino and Kinki areas. It is the most valuable city of the Imagawa Clan in Owari. Stationing here, it will be difficult for the Imagawa Army to go deep into Owari.

Although Imagawa Yoshimoto's [-]-strong army is astonishing, he dare not march in front of Narumi Castle. The end of the rout.

The Imagawa army, which came all the way from Suruga, could not afford the huge logistical expenses of the long-term siege. If it really wanted to fight a war of attrition with the Oda army, the outcome was still unknown.

Therefore, Narumi Castle cannot be lost anyway.

"We just want to delay the Oda Army's footsteps with desperate courage until the arrival of Her Royal Highness's army."

Standing on the top of the mountain, Ii Naomori's body was as straight as a javelin, looking to the west with determination in his eyes.

......

Qiqian Jinchuan Army quickly went down the mountain and marched towards Narumi City along the official road under the command of the general.

Shanzhao Temple Wall...

The purple-haired girl in a blue kendo suit watched Ii Naomori's army leave two hundred steps away, and slowly lowered the hand that was on the hilt of the sword, and gave an order to the herald beside her:

"The whole army collects arrows!"

After the order was issued, the archer on the wall put the arrow back into the quiver.

Behind the girl, a tall and tall figure walked out from the shadow of the door scull. His handsome face and the gorgeous armor on his body made it unforgettable at first sight.

"You are becoming more and more like a general, Mitsuhide..." Chios moved closer to Mitsuhide's ear, his gentle voice mixed with hot and humid breath.

"It's just because senior wanted to hide his own existence, so I did it for him..." Guangxiu turned his head, his face flushed slightly.

"Imagawa's reinforcements have been tricked, and it's all in the tricks of senior Chios."

As the girl said, she turned her eyes to the inside of Shanzhao Temple...

Behind the four-meter-high wall, there are [-] Oda right-wing troops waiting in formation. When the Jinchuan army approached just now, they did not show their figures.

However...

Just a word from the general, and the right-wing army will attack with all its strength.

Chapter 110: Battle

Narumi Castle, Honmaru Double Oar...

Lord Owari and Oda Kami Sosuke Nobuna folded their hands on their chests, standing on the terrace and watching the Imagawa army marching towards Narumi Castle in the distance.

"As expected, Imagawa's reinforcements..."

After Narumi Castle Lord Okabe Motonobu was captured by Chios and the others, the morale of the Chi-Imagawa defenders who had been desperately defending suddenly plummeted.Facing the Oda army pouring in from the north gate of Ninomaru, Imagawa soldiers did not resist in vain, and dropped their weapons and surrendered one after another.

Therefore, the Oda Army succeeded in taking over Narumi Castle at the time of Chenzheng, and deployed it calmly.

One of the most important links is to send [-] Oda troops wearing Imagawa armor to guard the Ninomaru wall, pretending to fight the ascending troops.

The purpose is to make the Imagawa reinforcements who came from afar think that Narumi Castle has not yet fallen, but the situation is in danger.

Now that the enemy troops are all in front of us, there is no need to replay this scene.

"It seems that he intends to fight head-on with our army, and he is really in a hurry to die."

Behind Nobuna, Maeda Inuchiyo nodded slightly in agreement.

"...the enemy army was completely fooled by Chios."

"Yeah, after all, Chios is good at... cheating people..."

The tea-haired princess who was praising her lover with a proud expression, said this, but for some reason, a complicated look gradually appeared on her beautiful face.

The girl with a small surname could almost hear the faint sound of the lord grinding his teeth in front of him.

Listening to Nobuna's unsure whether to praise or blame, Inuchiyo Koko also seemed to throw a stone, thinking of the young man who is currently leading the army in an ambush in Zenzhao Temple.

A trace of shame quietly flashed in the girl's eyes...

She was secretly happy about what the lord was worrying about.

Fortunately, Inuchiyo didn't have much expression on his face, and Nobuna turned his back to the girl, otherwise her thoughts at this moment would be exposed.

"Hmph..." Unhappily sticking out her pink tongue towards the northeast, Nobuna quickly restrained her emotions and restored the majesty of the commander in chief of an army.

"The right-wing army is in ambush in Shanzhao Temple, and the vanguard is hiding in Zhongdao Village, waiting for the moment when the Jinchuan army takes the bait."

"Command!" The general of the Oda Army pointed vertically to the sky, and then swung down vigorously.

In the direction of the finger, it is the place where Ii Naomori's seven thousand Imagawa reinforcements are located.

"General Niwa Chohide of the Left Wing Army will lead the Left Wing Army with 500 troops, including [-] elite troops and [-] horses, to fight head-on with the Imagawa reinforcements!"

"Yes!"

Inuchiyo bowed his head in response, and moved out of the command room of the double oar.

brush...

The door closed, leaving Nobuna alone.

The girl rested her hand on the balcony railing, staring blankly at the direction of Shanzhao Temple.

After a long time, he sighed heavily.

...

Hundreds of orange flags protruded from the east side of the official road, and Imakawa Ashgaru, who was wearing a light brown belly and a hat, followed the flags, and each flag represented nearly twenty ashigaru.

In contrast, there are the black helmets and black armor of the Seven Thousand Oda Army outside Narumi Castle in the west, and the black-patterned flag on a yellow background.

As if they had been prepared for a long time, as soon as the Suruga Imagawa Clan's Ashikaga Erin Ryomon flag appeared, the Oda Army outside the city turned around and formed a formation in units of hundreds of people, like scales arranged in steps, with the tip pointing directly at the east.

The fish scale formation is stronger than the midpoint breakthrough attack formation.

Seeing this, the Sichuan army is now facing a big enemy, and under the command of the general, they set up a square formation two miles away from Minghai City.

The square formation has both offensive and defensive capabilities, but the mobility is insufficient, which is not conducive to pursuit.

However, the Oda army was backed by Narumi Castle, and unless they were defeated and fled, they would not be able to retreat anywhere. The shortcomings of Ii Naomori's choice of square formation basically did not exist.

Gun Foot Light is on the outside, Jin Foot Light is protected inside, and three guns protrude from the queue, looking like a large hedgehog from a distance.

Although they had been marching for half the morning, the morale of Qiqian Jinchuan's army was still high because they had a good rest in Tagua City the night before.Even though the size of the Oda Army was no less than theirs, there was not much fear on the faces of the soldiers.

Ii Naomori's team is located in the center of the formation, protected by soldiers.

"It's actually a fish-scale formation, it seems that my guess is correct..." The grizzled Imagawa reinforcement general, riding on the horse, looked solemnly at the Oda army opposite.

"The Oda Army is not afraid of being attacked by Goro Okabe's guards from behind at all. With a part of their manpower, the defenders will be confined to the city, and they can organize a battle with an army comparable in strength to our army."

The characteristics of the fish-scale formation are obvious. The arrow-shaped top has strong attack power, but the defense behind the formation is weak. The enemy's formation of this kind of formation shows that the opponent has no worries.

Except for the stupid ones...

But Naomori Ii believes that Sosuke Oda will not make jokes in the First World War, which is related to his own rise and fall.

While thinking, a clear and clear cry from a familiar female voice came from my ear:

"The Oda army is as strong as ours, and we are fully capable of fighting them!"

Wearing red armor, Ii Naotora was riding a horse through the Imagawa soldiers, constantly shouting to encourage the morale of the entire army.

The youthful 17-year-old girl is like a touch of gorgeous red silk in this chilling battlefield, leaving her vivid and active figure in everyone's hearts.

"Be courageous and drive the Oda Army out of Narumi Castle in one go!"

oh! ! !

Imagawa officers and men raised their weapons high and roared majesticly.

"I really grew up..." The veteran looked at his daughter with relief, and whispered to himself:

"After this battle is over, I can rest assured that I will pass on the title of House Governor to Naotora, and live in seclusion to watch the young people grow up."

Saying that, Ii Naomori put away the gentle and loving look on his face, pointed his spear at the Oda Army in front, and ordered:

"The whole army marches forward!"

...

General of the Oda Army, Niwa Nagahide's team...

"I'm full of momentum, it seems that I've been underestimated, 79 points..." Canglan eyes watched the slow and firm advance of the Jinchuan army, and the gentle Changxiu fanned his folding fan lightly and said with a sigh :

"As expected, compared to Master Chios and Liu and the others, I am the least capable of commanding troops."

Even though he said that, Changxiu didn't look too depressed, and the corners of his mouth even curled up slightly.

The girl's weapon, the naginata, was stuck upside down in the ground beside her. Even though the seven thousand Imagawa troops lined up to attack, Changxiu still had no intention of picking it up.

In terms of posture, there is almost no sense of tension in the battlefield...

The general's calm demeanor made the Oda army, who were already sure of victory, even more confident.

Snapped!

The fan is closed.

"Handling..." With a folding fan in her hand instead of a soldier, the girl pointed to the Imagawa army in front of her.

"Two thousand archers are ready, and when the enemy enters within 150 paces, shoot them with arrows."

"Yes!"

The herald got the order and orderly delivered the general's order to the whole army.

Snapped!

The folding fan was opened again, flapping it gracefully and lightly, dispelling the summer heat for the girl.

Chapter 120 ? Triple Attack

The Qiqian Jinchuan army advanced slowly so that the formation would not be disturbed by movement.

The two armies were not far apart, even if they were not moving fast, it only took about a quarter of an hour to reach the Oda army.

Five hundred steps, three hundred steps, two hundred steps...

brush...

All members of the [-] Oda Army Bow Team raised their bows and pulled out arrows from the quiver tied around their waists.

The same is true for the Jinchuan army. The bowmen draw their arrows and set the strings, waiting for the army to advance to a suitable throwing distance.

150 steps...

"" Shoot the arrow! ""
