In fact, Fang Bie and Yan Yu were watching the first wave of attacks on the Oda family.

This wave of attacks occurred when the vanguard of the Imagawa Army had just left Okezazama and had not yet established a stable footing. This small group of troops carried out the first wave of attacks by suppressing them with long-range shooting with muskets and charging with knives.

However, even though the Imagawa Army was not on a stable footing and was quite exhausted, it was still able to maintain a fairly cohesive morale and relied on its numerical advantage to launch a counterattack against this small force again. In the end, the Oda Army fled in embarrassment. This wave

The attack was declared a failure, leaving dozens of corpses in vain.

"What do you want to say?" Yan Yu looked at the silent Fang Bie: "In fact, it seems that Imagawa Yoshimoto is indeed not a straw bag. He has two brushes and is not a mud that can be broken with just a touch.

Buddha."

"Yes, the opponent is the No. 1 Yutori in Tokaido." Fang Bie said softly: "But have you noticed that Kinoshita Tokichiro did not participate in this raid."

"Did you run away from the battle?" Yan Yu couldn't help but ask.

Indeed, I had never seen this samurai trusted by Oda Nobunaga before.

"He is a mentally tough person and will not be scared out of his wits so easily. However, the main body of the troops that just launched the attack are indeed the light cavalry that came with us before. Because of the terrain and the equipment of the horses,

The reason is that these cavalry can only dismount and engage in foot combat. The charge just now was undoubtedly a defeat." Fang Bie looked at the front and analyzed calmly: "In fact, from a common sense point of view, we should really wait for Oda Nobunaga's attack.

It will be better if the army arrives and then launch a general attack together, instead of sending food in advance with a small force of less than 300 people."

"But." Fang Bie said softly: "I really don't know much about the art of war. I have forgotten the military books after reading them. At best, they are just talking about war on paper."

"But look at the Imagawa troops below." Fang Bie gently reminded Yan Yu.

Yan Yu nodded, already understanding Fang Bie's meaning.

Looking at it at this time, those Imagawa troops who had already traveled for half a day, the weather was hot, and they had fought with the small charging troops before, their physical strength was indeed almost exhausted at this time.

Because of the dangerous terrain in Tongzhajian, the nervousness of fearing enemy attacks disappeared with the previous wave of great victories. At this time, they finally walked out of Tongzhajian. They all sat on the ground, took off their armor, and began to take out dry food.

Eat and drink on the spot, a relaxed scene.

"They have completely relaxed their vigilance, and think that the Oda army is nothing more than this." Yan Yu nodded and said: "After passing the Okezama, the Furuno Castle is very close. Presumably they only planned to attack the city after repairing it, but they didn't.

I thought that Oda Nobunaga had gathered all his strength and planned to give them a fatal blow."

"Oda Nobunaga is already on the way." Fang looked at the sky.

It was early summer, and it was already past noon. The Imagawa Army had traveled a long distance, and the elite soldiers at the front had experienced another fight. It was a time when they were sleepy and hot, so they all sat down to rest and get dry food to make meals to replenish their physical strength.

"Do you think it will rain today?" Fang Bie suddenly asked.

The sky at this time was cloudless, otherwise it wouldn't be so muggy.

But the weather in June, just like a child's face, really changes at a moment's notice. Moreover, this is a mountainous area with a more complex terrain and climate.

"Who knows?" Yan Yu said, "But if it rains, it will be of great benefit to Oda Nobunaga."

"For things like weather, I feel like God is helping me." Fang Bie smiled: "If there is really a heavy rain, then Oda Nobunaga who comes to attack at this time will be completely hidden. On the contrary, if the already exhausted Imagawa Army is baptized by the rain again, I am afraid that its morale will really increase, then decline, and then be exhausted."

"I have been thinking about how Oda Nobunaga can win this almost inevitable battle. After all, Imagawa Yoshimoto's army is so large, and the quality of the soldiers is not much worse than that of Oda Nobunaga, but the number is inferior to that of Oda Nobunaga. Ten times as much as Tian Nobunaga."

"This kind of number is almost despairing. If you want to win, you have to seize one in 10,000 opportunities."

"But it's obvious that this fighter plane is coming soon."

"Is it possible that you can use the east wind to make it rain?" Yan Yu looked at Fang Bie and asked.

If this is the case, you are really very wise.

"Artificial rain is real." Fang Bie looked at Yan Yu and said seriously: "Of course, this is not my area of ​​expertise. All we have to do today is to wait and see what happens and wait for the final result."

"But if there is really going to be a heavy rain, then it means that luck is on Oda Nobunaga's side."

Before Fang Bie finished speaking, a dull thunder suddenly sounded in the distance.

Thunder rolled in.

Yan Yu looked at Fang Bie: "So even if you jump into the Yellow River, you won't be able to clean yourself."

"I'm not dirty, so I need to wash it." Fang Bie said seriously.

"But at least the situation is clear now."

"Luck was on Oda Nobunaga's side."

"The attack will come with heavy rain."

…

…

When thunder sounded, Shang Jiuge subconsciously looked at the sky.

Next to her was Imagawa Jun who was sitting and lying on the ground, while Imagawa Yoshimoto was sipping the barley tea handed to him by his entourage.

Hearing the thunder, Imagawa Yoshimoto was startled at first, and then couldn't help laughing: "Look, God is also helping us. He knows that we are too hot, so he quickly rains down rain to relieve us from the heat. It can be said that he is the Buddha. He is also on our side."

When the people around heard Imagawa Yoshimoto's explanation, they couldn't help but burst into laughter: "My lord is right, it's really great that the rain from the sky comes to relieve us from the heat."

Some people also sang counter-arguments at an inappropriate time: "We have so many troops. When the heavy rain comes, there is not even a place to take shelter. After a while, we will be soaked in water. How can we still have the energy to fight?"

As soon as this person spoke, he was immediately rebutted by everyone: "It's just raining, not a knife. How can the men of Imagawa be afraid of the drizzle? Only the girls from Oda will hide in the house when it rains." Hold the mother-in-law inside, and then we will catch them all in one fell swoop."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in a happy atmosphere.

Shang Jiuge, on the other hand, stood quietly, as if all this had nothing to do with her. The girl looked at the sky and sighed: "It will rain heavily."

Amada noticed the young swordsman he brought with him and couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry, Lord Imagawa is so brave that he cannot be defeated by just a little rain."

Shang Jiuge knew that Oda Nobunaga must be on his way to attack at this time. If the heavy rain falls and the Oda army suddenly launches an attack when the rain stops, it will be an almost irresistible disaster.

"I hope so." Shang Jiuge said, then he looked up at Yutian: "Are you afraid of death? Yutian."

The two of them were talking in Chinese, so there was no need to worry about being heard by most people.

It's like Shang Jiuge also automatically blocks the Japanese language of most people around her.

To be honest, Yutian also hoped to teach Shang Jiuge some Japanese during this period so that she could live easily in Japan without him as a translator. However, Shang Jiuge's language talent seemed to be completely squeezed out by his swordsmanship talent.

, the girl's Japanese is still very poor, at best she has learned some simple greetings such as Arigado.

It's like saying you haven't learned anything.

After all, if you want to learn a language, you should start by learning curse words. Shang Jiuge must have looked very beautiful when he scolded Ma Lu Yelang.

But Amata didn't teach.

"A warrior should not be afraid of death." Yutian looked at Shang Jiuge: "A warrior is loyal to the monarch and must shed the last drop of blood for the monarch."

"Do you need me to protect you?" Shang Jiuge asked.

Yu Tian was stunned.

"Actually, you are not a person suitable to be a warrior." Shang Jiuge looked at Yutian and said, "Didn't you say that you have been to China before? We call you people Japanese pirates. To be honest, I have killed those Japanese pirates.

, but you are obviously not suitable to be a Japanese pirate, so you returned to your hometown and were fortunate enough to be taken in by Lord Imagawa and became his samurai."

"So are you willing to die for Imagawa?"

"If today's battle fails."

Amada was a little frightened by the girl's seriousness.

In fact, when it comes to life and death, one should not treat it as a joke.

What surprised Amada even more was the girl's attitude.

In fact, Shang Jiuge has always shown a very innocent and silly aura. She is ignorant and direct. She doesn't like to play around with others. She will be very happy when she encounters delicious food. If someone is willing

She is also willing to discuss with her and ask for advice.

But at this moment, the words Shang Jiuge said were things that he had never imagined coming from the girl's mouth before.

"Are you afraid that Imagawa-sama will fail?" Yutian looked at Shang Jiuge and said, "It is the honor of a samurai to die on the battlefield."

"Compared to death in battle, defeat is something that cannot be tolerated, because it shows that one's own strength cannot help one's monarch."

"I understand." Shang Jiuge sighed.

"It's raining," the girl said.

As the girl opened her mouth, a heavy downpour came howling down.

…

…

Thunder also sounded above Oda Nobunaga's head.

His Atsheng has just finished singing.

"Lord Nobunaga, you can't leave anymore." Someone came on horseback and pulled Oda Nobunaga's reins: "Look at the weather, it's going to rain soon. It's very dangerous for soldiers to attack in the rain.

, offense itself is a weaker behavior than defense."

Oda Nobunaga smiled and looked at the other party: "You know what? Before setting off, Fang Bi told me a story."

"The protagonist in this story is something called defeatist counselors. They are always instilling in the monarch that if they attack, they will fail. In this way, if the monarch really fails, he can regret why he did not accept these defeatist counselors.

suggestions.”
