Chapter 1552 Do your words count?(1/3)
Akechi Mitsuhide nodded.
"Sanada Nobushige sent a message saying that she defeated Takigawa Kazumasu and Hashiba Hideyoshi, as well as most of the defenders of Oiwa Mountain at Shidake.
Your Majesty came out to the battle and allowed me to take over the command, so I boldly overstepped my command and told Sanada Nobunaga Yuwu of the battle situation on the main battlefield, asking her to immediately attack Oiwa Mountain and capture Oda Nobunaga's main battle formation!"
Yiyin asked in disbelief.
"Are you sure Sanada Nobushige isn't bragging? How could the defenders of Oiwa Mountain go to Mount Sacred Mountain?"
Akechi Mitsuhide replied.
"I'm not sure, but the war situation is so urgent that I can only believe that Nobushige Sanada did the impossible.
In addition, I ordered the confidentiality team to investigate, and asked Bai Di San Taifu to come and report in person."
While the two were talking, another horse came running from a distance, it was Bai Di San Taifu. She dismounted and rushed to Yiyin, kowtowed to the ground and took a few steps.
Yiyin said.
"Get up and talk."
The Third Master of Baidi kowtowed heavily and raised his head to apologize.
"Your Majesty, I have neglected my duty!
Opposite are the tribes of Sakuma Nobumori and Kawajiri Hidetaka. There are more than 20,000 people. I don’t know when they entered Kitaomi. I didn’t get any information in advance. I’m very sorry!”
Yiyin sighed.
"This is Oda Nobunaga's trump card. If you can find it easily, how can she catch me off guard?
Get up, let’s put this matter aside for a while, what’s going on over there with Jiyue?”
Bai Di San Taifu stood up and said.
"Your Majesty! A great victory at Jiyue!
Lord Sanada Nobushige was defeated first and then won. Sanada's army was frustrated at Oiwa Mountain and retreated, attracting the two armies of Takigawa Kazumasu and Hashiba Hideyoshi to attack, and they were defeated at Shidake!
Takigawa Kazumasu died on the spot, Hideyoshi Hashiba retreated to Oiwa Mountain, and His Majesty Oda gave all the troops in Oiwa Mountain to Sasa Narimasa of Iwasaki Mountain. Now there are not many people on Oiwa Mountain!
Lord Nobushige Sanada received the military order from Lord Akechi Mitsuhide, and without even cleaning the battlefield, he marched eastward and attacked Mount Oiwa at full speed.
She also asked me to bring you a message, she said... She said that she would personally capture His Highness Oda so that your two hundred Sibo braids would be worth the money."
Yiyin was stunned for a moment, then ecstasy burst out from the bottom of his heart, and he couldn't help laughing.
"Good! What a great Sanada Nobushige! The Sanadas are worthy of being the best soldiers in the world!
Oda Nobunaga, Oda Nobunaga, I’m worth half a million koku and I’m worth two hundred shiba, so don’t show off, it’s really making me laugh to death.”
Yoshigan said to Akechi Mitsuhide beside him.
"You are able to issue military orders immediately and investigate the military situation. You have done a great job. I finally have some confidence to deal with the Oda army ahead."
Akechi Mitsuhide smiled.
"Your Majesty is so complimentary.
Even if I didn't give the order, Sanada Nobushige would have gone to Oiwa Mountain. After all, it was the wise king who used the 200-square-foot formation to boost the morale of Sanada's troops and win this great victory.
In order to obtain the 200 Sibo preparations, the Sanada clan will definitely attack Oiwa Mountain next, sooner or later."
Akechi Mitsuhide said and smiled at Maeda, making the recent general a little embarrassed.
Sanada's army was sent as a surprise soldier, and Mitsuhide Akechi was driven back to Mount Doki to enjoy the scenery. Maeda's selfishness was tolerated by Yoshigan, but Maeda's battle turned into a mess.
On the contrary, Sanada Nobunshige and Akechi Mitsuhide showed their faces one after another, and the outcome of the combined battle now rested on Sanada Nobunshige.
It seems that Sanada Nobushige attacked Oiwa Mountain first and defeated Oda Nobunaga's main formation. Or it was Yoshigan who was on the main battlefield of Yu Wu and could not hold on first and was overthrown by Oda's new force.
In short, Maeda Yoshiki has become a supporting role, and even Yoshigan himself has become a supporting role. Sanada Nobushige is the protagonist who determines the drama in the second half.
Despite Akechi Mitsuhide's modesty, if she hadn't made a decisive decision, Sanada Nobushige would never have rushed to Oiwa Mountain immediately and fought so resolutely and quickly, racing against time.
Moreover, Akechi Mitsuhide did not believe Sanada Nobushige's words. He also sent a confidentiality team to investigate and asked Momochi Santafu to come back in person to explain.
After being anxious and slowing down, grasping with both hands, Yoshigan truly believed in Sanada Nobushige's record, determined to persevere to the end, and waited for the news of the Sanada army's victory.
With Mitsuhide Akechi's two actions that can turn the tide of the situation, if there is a big victory in this battle, she must be indispensable.
Yoshiyin's eyes were solemn and he looked back at the Oda military formation ahead.
Hosokawa Fujitaka and the others have already withdrawn. The three troops on the opposite side, Sakuma Nobumori, Kawajiri Hidetaka, and Sasana Narimasa, have all entered the main battlefield and are eager to try.
Sasanagi Masa on the west side was still sorting out the chaotic queue due to being bombarded, while Sakuma Nobumori and Kawajiri Hidetaka on the east side were waiting for Higashinoyama's defeated troops to leave.
The main battlefield of Yu Wu suddenly became deserted, but this was the calm before the storm, indicating that the storm was about to hit.
Yiyin grinned.
Oda Nobunaga, let us take a final bet to see whether you will be captured by Sanada Nobunaga or I will be captured alive by your people.
Yiyin ordered.
"Every reserve team is repairing on the spot, and all the family heads and generals are waiting for my orders!"
Akechi Mitsuhide frowned and said.
"Your Majesty, our army is exhausted and we are not in a good position to attack. It is better to shrink the defense line and wait for news from Sanada Nobushige."
Yiyin shook his head and said.
“You have to fight against each other.
Oda Nobunaga can send the pro-army troops from Oiwa Mountain here. Once there is a problem in Oiwa Mountain, the troops here can also go back to provide support.
We are on the outside and they are on the inside. If they really want to detach part of their troops and turn around, we can't stop them.
The only way to stop them from supporting Oda Nobunaga in Oiwa Mountain is to beat them until they have no time to think about anything else and dare not divide their troops."
Akechi Mitsuhide looked back at the exhausted Shiba Zhuji and asked in a deep voice.
"Can we do it?"
Yiyin showed a confident smile.
"Of course, don't forget, I am Bishamonten, the patron saint of the samurai family!"
Akechi Mitsuhide was stupefied. Those words used to deceive the ignorant people at the bottom, how come you take it seriously?
Yoshigan glanced at Mitsuhide Akechi and smiled, what he said just now was not a joke.
He was very lucky because the previous military formation that defeated Hirate Fanhide and Ujie Naomoto went too smoothly, so he did not use the special effects of Ten Jealous Beauty.
Heaven is jealous of Hongyan, a system special effect with a cooldown time of 365 days, its effect is to change the weather!
Yoshigan looked ahead. Those Oda troops were all elite divisions, standing armies who were skilled in combining spears and iron cannon formations. But soon, the iron cannons in their hands would turn into scrap metal in the storm.
———
Big Rock Mountain.
Oda Nobunaga stared at Hashiba Hideyoshi who was kneeling on the ground and snorted coldly.
"Trash is trash, and this guy Takigawa Kazumas died in the battle like this?
My bannermen and reserve troops were all buried by her in the land of humble mountains. She died happily, who will return my banners and reserve troops!"
Hashiba Hideyoshi touched it twice, his forehead turned red, and then said loudly.
"I'm very sorry. I am also responsible for defeating Jiyue.
I failed to take care of Takigawa Kazumasu. Unexpectedly, she was eager to start the war before I was in place, and the cunning Sanada Nobushige took advantage of her.
I have failed to live up to the expectations of the hall, and I am truly sorry."
Oda Nobunaga looked at Hideyoshi Hashiba coldly.
In the Battle of Shigatake, the entire army of Takigawa Ichimasu was destroyed, and Hideyoshi Hashiba escaped from the battlefield by luck, retaining most of his strength.
Oda Nobunaga doesn't know now whether what Hideyoshi said is true or false, but she must choose to believe it at this time.
Because the defenders of Oiwa Mountain had been emptied, some were taken away by Takigawa Kazumasu and annihilated in Shidake, and the other part were sent to Iwasaki Mountain by Oda Nobunaga.
There is now only a small group of people left beside Oda Nobunaga, and the Oiwa Mountain defense line is ineffective.
For the current plan, only with the help of Hashiba Hideyoshi's defeated army can we have enough manpower to take over the Oiwa Mountain defense line.
Therefore, Oda Nobunaga could only believe what Hashiba Hideyoshi said. Takigawa Kazumasu must be a fool who underestimated the enemy and rushed forward, and Hashiba Hideyoshi must be an innocent person who was implicated by the fool.
Oda Nobunaga said in a deep voice.
"Hideyoshi, I leave the Oiwa Mountain defense line to you."
Hideyoshi Hashiba kowtowed to the ground and said solemnly.
"Please rest assured in the main hall, as long as I, Hideyoshi Hashiba, am here, the defense line of Oiwa Mountain will be there."
Oda Nobunaga nodded.
"Go ahead."
"Hi!"
