Walking out of Oda Nobunaga's main formation, the sweat on Hideyoshi's forehead was pouring down, and his back was wet with the cold sweat.

Before she had gone too far, her feet were already weak and she was stumbling.

Takenaka Shigeharu came forward to support Hideyoshi Hashiba. Hideyoshi nodded towards her and said in a low voice when he saw no one around.

"I followed what you taught me and put all the responsibility on Takigawa Kazumasu, who died in the battle. I finally passed the risk."

Takenaka Shigeharu frowned.

"The main hall may not really believe your excuse. It's just that now is the time to employ people. She has no choice but to believe it first."

Hideyoshi Hashiba sighed.

"I don't want to deceive the main hall unless I have to. But who would have thought that Jiyue would lose so miserably in this battle.

Sanada Nobushige and those soldiers of the Sanada clan, they are simply crazy!"

Zhu Zhongzhong treated the painful path.

"I underestimated the heroes of Guandong and neglected to calculate their will to fight to the bitter end."

Hideyoshi Hashiba shook his head and said.

"I don't blame you, these lunatics... Takigawa Kazuki will die with his eyes open.

Our army was able to withdraw smoothly and I was able to preserve my strength and vitality because you decisively abandoned the Takikawa Army and quickly left the battlefield."

Takenaka Shigeharu shook his head and said.

"This matter must not be hidden from the main hall, she will know sooner or later."

Hideyoshi Hashiba shook his head.

"There is no other way, let's take care of the present first.

Fortunately, the main hall has great ambitions and won't do anything to me for the time being, but in the future..."

Hashiba Hideyoshi and Takenaka Shigeharu smiled bitterly together.

Oda Nobunaga is a utilitarian, she will not care about the sins of the living for the sake of the dead.

But she is good at keeping accounts. Which one of Lin Xiuzhen and Ando Moriji was not settled by the Queen after losing their use value?

Hashiba Hideyoshi is not worried about the present, she is worried about the future. It is also because of this tragic defeat that Hashiba Hideyoshi has become more determined.

Oda Nobunaga must die. Only if she dies can Hashiba Hideyoshi feel completely at ease.

Of course, the time cannot be now.

The current Hideyoshi Hashiba has not yet fully matured her wings, and she still needs time to develop and grow.

Hideyoshi Hashiba sighed.

"Let's not talk about this for now, how about the Dayanshan defense line?"

Takenaka Shigeharu answered.

"It's very good. The trenches, earthen ramparts, fences, etc. are well laid out and solidly built."

Hideyoshi Hashiba breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

"That's good, we still have a large number of iron cannons available, and we will definitely be able to hold the line of defense.

As long as we hold on to Dayan Mountain, the main hall will no longer argue with me about the defeat of Biyue, and this level will be considered completely passed."

———

At the foot of Oiwa Mountain, Sanada Nobushige looked at the tight defense line and scratched his head in anger.

"What the hell! Hideyoshi Hashiba is such a fast rat that he actually let her escape back to Oiwa Mountain.

Liu Niang, what should we do now?"

No wonder Sanada Nobushige was so angry that he was so angry.

In the Battle of Shidake, Hashiba Hideyoshi saw that the situation was not good, so he decisively abandoned Takigawa Kazumasu and retreated directly.

This decisiveness allowed Hashiba Hideyoshi to avoid the annihilation of his entire army, and also brought big trouble to Sanada Nobushige.

At the beginning, Sanada Nobushige chose to withdraw to Shidake because he could not attack the Oiwa Mountain defense line by force, so he had to pull out the defenders of Takikawa Ichimasu to fight.

Now, Takigawa Kazmasu is finished, Hashiba Hideyoshi has taken over Takigawa Kazmasu's position again, and the Oiwa Mountain defense line is still hindering the Sanada army.

Sanada Nobushige was upset.

Akechi Mitsuhide reported the military situation on the Yuwu main battlefield. A large number of unexpected Oda reinforcements entered the battlefield, which had broken the balance of power on the main battlefield.

Tsutado-den is holding on tightly, hoping that Sanada Nobunaga can break through Oiwa Mountain as soon as possible and capture Oda Nobunaga's main formation in order to win this battle.

Sanada Nobushige had no time to do any more tricks to lure the snake out of its cave. This time she had to storm up the mountain.

However, after several fierce battles, Sanada's army had been reduced by 30%, and most of the remaining 7,000 men suffered major and minor injuries, making them unable to fight for a long time.

If it were to be replaced by an ordinary army, it would be able to survive 30% of its losses in battle, and it would already be the best among the best.

Sanada's army can still maintain its combat effectiveness at this moment. Sanada Nobushige claims to be the best soldier in the world, but there are really not many samurai who dare to contradict her.

Umino Riichi, who was consulted by Sanada Nobunshige, looked at the Oiwayama defense line in front of her, and the three-faced expression on her face seemed to have loosened a little, and her brows wrinkled slightly.

"First, inspect our troops to see how much morale and combat strength we still have."

In this bad situation, the resourceful Umino Riichi has no confidence.

Sanada Nobushige nodded and led a group of personal guards down the mountain pass.

Sanada's army had just finished the Battle of Shiyue and rushed to the foot of Oiwa Mountain without even having time to clean up the battlefield. At this moment, everyone was in a state of confusion and was seizing the time to rest.

Some were leaning against trees or sitting on rocks, and some were just lying in the mud and snoring.

Sanada Nobushige frowned more and more as he watched. With such a remnant army, do they really have the strength to attack the Oiwa Mountain defense line?

While she was hesitating, a little girl blocked her way.

Behind Nobushige Sanada, a Hatamoto rushed forward and tried to pull the little girl away, scolding her while pulling her back.

"Bagaya Road! This is Sanada Nobushige-sama, please get out of the way!"

But the little girl was so stubborn that she looked at Sanada Nobushige without moving.

Hatamoto was so angry that he tried harder, but accidentally tore open the cloth bag around her waist and spilled her ears all over the floor.

Hatamoto was also shocked. Before Hatamoto could react, Sanada Nobunshi stepped forward and kicked Hatamoto away.

"You idiot, get away from me."

Sanada Nobushige stepped forward and scanned it carefully. All the ears on the ground were left ears, and there were quite a lot of them.

She knelt down and looked at the childish little girl in front of her. She was probably only ten years old, but she had a sword on her waist. She was one of her own warriors participating in the battle.

Sanada Nobushige asked kindly.

"Kid, what do you want from me?"

The little girl pointed to Yidi's left ear and asked.

"Sanada-sama, can these be exchanged for Shiba's formation?"

Sanada Nobushige asked rhetorically.

"Did you kill all these people?"

The little girl shook her head and said.

"Lao Gou and I killed them together. She killed more and I killed less.

But she asked me to cut off the left ears of all the enemies I killed, saying that these ears would be enough to replace them with a Spo."

Sanada Nobushige looked at this place's ears and nodded.

"Indeed, there are quite a few. What about Old Dogman? Why doesn't she come to me with these ears herself?"

The little girl stared at Sanada Nobushige with crystal clear eyes.

"The old dog died. The enemy cut open his abdomen with a knife, and his intestines were left on the ground. She held the man tightly, and I chopped his head from behind.

Later, I tried my best to stuff the old dog's intestines back, but it didn't work and she still died.

She said, let me take the Sibo braid back so that my father and my younger brothers and sisters can eat."

Sanada Nobushige saw the little girl speaking seriously, his heart trembled slightly and he was already moved.

"Is the old dog your mother?"

The little girl shook her head and said.

"It's not my mother. My mother died a long time ago. My father and I, my brothers and sisters, were raised by my father and the waiter in the village down the mountain, earning a living.

The old dog told me to take Sibo back, saying that my father will be her man from now on. She will have food to eat in the future and is not allowed to go out to do wormwood."

Sanada Nobunaga narrowed his eyes, looked at this place's ears again, and his breathing quickened a little.

The little girl tilted her head, picked up a left ear from the ground, held it in front of Sanada Nobushige with both hands, and asked innocently.

"Sanada-sama, the old dog said that you are also from our mountains, and we swore an oath to the Mountain God League together. Can these ears be changed to Spo's weave? Do your words still count?"
