Non-Honmaru Inner Honwan [Comprehensive]

"What the hell are you doing!!"

In the blink of an eye, the bullet pierced Di Wakizawa's head.And Token Fusangshin, who finally recovered from the change of position and the stiffness of receiving the new order, immediately raised his sword and cut the enemy Wakizashi who was biting them so hard that he found Nobunaga's position.

In the next moment, Matsunaga Hideo's tall body appeared at the door, his face covered with scars was full of gnashing of teeth, and the thing he held in his hand, which was emitting faint white smoke, did not belong to the technology of the Warring States Period. The gun that was brought along with him.

"Ah, thank you for saving me, Matsunaga-san."

"I don't want to save you! In this day and age, every bullet will lose one bullet!" Originally, he was just waking up at night, but was surprised by a "bull ghost" and shot. Song Yongxiu obviously had a bad attitude, "Damn, what? Is this group of weird things here also staring at you?"

"Probably." Saburo stared intently at Di Wakizasa who had stopped twitching on the ground, and his bones gradually lost their luster and turned dry and brittle. "Huh, it doesn't look like a normal thing."

"It looks like something that has been dead for a long time." Matsunaga Hide impatiently in front of Saburo, raised his foot and trampled the dead enemy Wakizawa viciously, and the fragile bones crumbled into pieces under his feet. Scattered, but the culprit still took it for granted, "To deal with this dead thing that can still move, it is enough to crush it all."

"It doesn't move when you're dead."

"It's none of my business. Let me tell you, history says that Nobunaga will unify the world, so is there any history that Nobunaga will encounter monsters?"

"..."

"So, your life is not secure." Song Yongxiu shook the gun in his hand, and finally said, "I don't want to see other people happy. There will probably be many people happy when you die. I am too lazy to do such things. However, Don't expect me to protect you all the time, understand?"

"I never expected it from the beginning." Saburo said straightforwardly, "Mr. Matsunaga saved me this time, which surprised me."

"It's good to know that there will be no next time!"

Seeing that Matsunaga Hideka had finished his harsh words (not) and strode away, Saburo finally looked back at the remaining Token Fusangshin.

Unlike the time-traveling army that decayed quickly after death, the blood of Toujian Fusangshen was no different from that of ordinary people, and the large swathes of bright colors were very dazzling even under candlelight.Because he failed to protect his master, and even brought the enemy by mistake, Token Fusangshin's expression was the same annoyance and self-loathing.

The pain caused by such trauma to self-esteem is more unbearable than physical wounds.

"Everyone was seriously injured... It's been hard work, but fortunately you came back alive. But because of the rush, Hengxing and the others didn't wear bandages or wound medicine." With a relaxed expression, Saburo held his chin and thought, " We are currently staying at a farmhouse, and the locals here may find herbs—"

"...Nobunaga..."

"Yeah." Saburo didn't have any special reaction, he simply responded, and continued, "However, returning to the city means returning to me. I thought it was returning to Gifu. It would be great if Xiaoguang was here—eh"

The moment he blurted out "Gifu", the four Token Fusangshin disappeared at the same time!

"Back to the city and back to the city" tried to repeat the order for the sword men to appear several times, but in the end there was still nothing in front of him, Saburo could only stretch out his finger, and tap the blood left on the ground during the brief appearance of the sword men ——even with a little warmth.

"Have you returned to Gifu? Then you should be able to treat the wound properly." Wiping off the blood on his fingertips, Saburo sighed, "I am a little envious to be able to return to the city so quickly."

...The sword men who suddenly disappeared did not want this kind of envy.

-

After Saburo took the risk of fleeing with ten riders, Shibata Katsuie and Niwa Nagahide, who were ordered to respond to the Tokugawa troops attacking Muyaling, rushed back quickly.

All that was left to them was a large army without Nobunaga.

Compared with Shibata Katsuie's face when he heard that Saburo took only ten people away, Niwa Nagahide's expression was much more normal and calm.After hearing that Hashiba Hideyoshi took the initiative to take up the important task of the army, his eyes softened almost visibly, and he even bowed his hands to Hashiba Hideyoshi to thank him.

Hashiba Hideyoshi, who was still going to play a minor role at the moment, and who decided to shed his blood for the sake of Myoko, immediately knelt down in fear.Behind him, Hanbei Takenaka and Mitsuhide Akechi, who had been watching his performance coldly, exchanged glances involuntarily.

"Then the decision of Mr. Akechi and Mr. Takenaka is"

Just when Hashiba Hideyoshi had finished expressing his loyalty and was busy arranging military affairs, Niwa Chohide finally set his sights on Akechi and Mitsuhide.

Putting his hands into his sleeves, Akechi Mitsuhide answered irrelevantly: "Wouldn't it be too risky to entrust Mr. Hashiba with all the duties of the army?"

As a person who became an official at the age of 15, Niwa Chohide is obviously also a smart person.He heard the implication of Akechi Mitsuhide's words, but he just said calmly: "His Highness has designated him as a general of the army, which means that he must have such talents, just like you, Mr. Akechi, have outstanding talents."

Akechi Mitsuhide lowered his eyes.

Indeed, for Hashiba Hideyoshi who has climbed step by step from ashigaru to his current position, Saburo is undoubtedly kind to him. It can even be said that everything about Hashiba Hideyoshi is seen by Oda Nobunaga, even if he Originally a needle merchant, Kei's humble background is not a problem for the Oda family who are currently using talents widely.

In contrast, he and Hanbei Takenaka had no reason to doubt Hashiba Hideyoshi—even this suspicion was difficult to express because it could easily cause internal struggles in the Oda family.

Perhaps Niwa Chohide also thought that he underestimated Hashiba Hideyoshi's background, so he answered in this way, comparing him with Akechi Mitsuhide and Hashiba Hideyoshi.As a person who has been an official in Asakura, followed Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and finally switched to Oda, he is nothing compared to Hashiba Hideyoshi.

However, the hypocrisy of Hashiba Hideyoshi that he often feels...is it really all right?

Akechi Mitsuhide frowned secretly, but still couldn't feel relieved.The danger brought by the siege of Asai and Asakura was beyond expectation. Even if there is a mistake in the retreat, it may bring a loss that Oda cannot bear-whether it is Hashiba Hideyoshi who failed to carry it, or Hashiba Hideyoshi betrays Oda.

If you can be alert at close range...

"Mr. Niwa is worrying too much." In the blink of an eye, Akechi Mitsuhide made up his mind, and his voice was a little more irresistible, even though his attitude was still very gentle, "The news of Asai's betrayal has been confirmed to be true, so this The second army cannot make mistakes, and must buy enough time for the army to retreat."

Niwa Changxiu nodded: "Yes. In order to increase the speed, I would like to ask everyone to lead their own troops and leave Kanazaki as soon as possible."

Akechi Mitsuhide was almost overwhelmed by Niwa Nagahide's wise plan - just now he said that Hashiba Hideyoshi and his Akechi Mitsuhide had the same status, but now the implication is to give up the entire battlefield from Mt. Dismantling the army so that they could leave quickly, even the Tokugawa family didn't plan to wait.Such a plan can indeed ensure that the Oda family can protect themselves to the greatest extent, but it also means that all the pressure will be on the army, and even Hashiba Hideyoshi, who is a general and assumes the heavy responsibility of the army at this time, will be close to death.

Such a situation close to death... Hashiba Hideyoshi is willing to accept it easily

Suspicious of Hashiba Hideyoshi's intentions, Akechi Mitsuhide calmly stated his plan under Niwa Chohide's calm gaze: "In this case, then, I also want to join the lineup of the third runner-up."

Akechi Mitsuhide said softly: "With Mr. Hashiba's thousands of troops alone, it is difficult to delay. There is not enough time. If the army fails to retreat, the loss will only be greater. Therefore, I want to lead my troops and serve as the third army with Mr. Hashiba. "

It seemed that he didn't expect Akechi Mitsuhide to say this, Niwa Nagahide's eyes flashed strangely, but he quickly weighed the pros and cons of Akechi Mitsuhide's approach in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "If that's the case, I won't stop it. Sensible Mr. Wu Yun is prosperous."

Akechi Mitsuhide just nodded, and replied, "Thank you for your good words."

-

Hashiba Hideyoshi couldn't believe it.

It was precisely because of the extremely dangerous situation in the palace army that he took the initiative to take on this task.In the eyes of others, he took the initiative to take such a dangerous job, it would only appear that he was grateful for Oda Nobunaga's kindness, and he would not suspect that he had another purpose - when everyone who knew that he was a spy died. Under the premise, who would know that he has a different heart!

These retainers of the Oda family, even if it is to preserve the strength of the Oda family, wish to withdraw as soon as possible.

After struggling under Oda Nobunaga for many years, he finally found a wonderful opportunity to betray him today - not only is Oda Nobunaga's safety tied to him, but what is even more lovely is that no matter whether he changes to the Asai family or Fake death, everyone has the capital to survive in the Warring States Period.

Mitsuhide Kekechi crosses in | What's going on! !

Doesn't he know the danger? Doesn't he want to die!No matter it is Akechi Mitsuhide or Takenaka Hanbei, they are usually more than vigilant towards him and lack of trust, how could they suddenly ask to join him in the third place!

It's not crazy to seek death!

In particular, he also hypocritically told him that the army led by Akechi Mitsuhide should be used as the second army, hidden behind his Hashiba Hideyoshi's army, to prevent problems before they happen-the meaning of this sentence is not to let him Hashiba Hideyoshi The army is going to fight to the death, and he is watching coldly from behind!

damn it……

The plan he had always harbored in his heart to betray Nobunaga was discovered at this moment, and he never revealed it!

No, if he is detected, Akechi Mitsuhide will have his head cut off immediately before he realizes it... that is to say, he does not know

Did he arouse the suspicion of these two people?

Even if Hashiba Hideyoshi wants to refuse, it is because of the severe situation that the Oda family and himself (if not betrayed) are facing now, there is no reason to refuse.In addition, he had put himself too low before, and he couldn't refute Akechi Mitsuhide's almost surveillance-like distribution of the army troops, otherwise he would risk exposing his true self.

Even if his heart was extremely angry because of this sudden change, he could only squeeze out a smile and warmly welcome Akechi Mitsuhide and Takenaka Hanbei to join.

No matter whether these two people found out or not, he had absolutely no possibility of betrayal.

"Prepare bows and arrows and iron cannons - shoot me!!"

Right now, he can only use long-range weapons, try his best to distance himself from the Asai army, and delay the time, so that he can save his troops and even his own life... Now, I really want to fight to the death for Oda Nobunaga !

Hashiba Hideyoshi looked at the Asai Army in front of him with a ferocious face, and even his veins burst out one after another.

But his younger brother, who is also a ninja, came to join him after he changed his name to Hashiba Hideyoshi, and also pretended to be a man from Kinoshita Tokichiro's family. The man currently named Hashiba Hidecho is still laughing and leaning over. Adding fuel: "Oh, brother, you seem to be unable to hold on."

Barely holding back his anger, Hashiba Hideyoshi looked at Akechi Mitsuhide who was wearing full armor, even a visor, and said through gritted teeth, "Your Highness supports me, even if I die as the Imperial Army, I will not regret it."

"Hahaha, brother is really—but, the Asai family also has reinforcements that are particularly capable of fighting, and it will not be able to hold on if this continues." Hashiba Hideo said with a hippie smile, and then lowered his voice, "If you can survive, brother's It’s time to change your status again, don’t worry, you can always find new opportunities—as long as the result is what you want.”

Hashiba Hideyoshi gritted his teeth tightly, and finally the throbbing veins on his forehead gradually faded away.

And at this time, he saw what Hashiba Hidecho said, "Asai's reinforcements"——

It turned out to be a large number of troops with tattered hats and swords. After a rough calculation, there were as many as several thousand people—a considerable number of them were wearing black hats and armor.Even though their equipment was very different, it was obvious from their actions that they were members of the same unit, and they also had animal skulls as decorations on their bodies.

Said to be Asai's reinforcements, but the Asai family didn't seem to know this group of people, and they couldn't help avoiding them when they approached.But this group of strangely dressed guys did not attack the Asai army, but concentrated on killing the Oda army——the army led by Hashiba Hideyoshi.

That deadly and murderous aura made Hashiba Hideyoshi have the illusion that the other party was not a living thing, and even mistakenly thought that their eyes were shining.

"The Tokugawa family has withdrawn from Muyaling to this place!"

Just when Hashiba Hideyoshi was full of doubts and anger, the messengers from the rear came to report.When he turned his head, he saw the flag of the Tokugawa family moving from far to near, and he could even see the ferocious face of the Tokugawa family general Honda Tadakatsu running towards this side.

And even at this time, Akechi Mitsuhide's eyes were fixed on him.I am afraid that as long as he dares to withdraw to meet the Tokugawa family, Akechi Mitsuhide will not be replaced by the second army and his troops, but will go with him "alone"! !

……hateful! !

Hashiba Hideyoshi did not turn his horse's head to meet the Tokugawa army. Sure enough, after a few breaths, Hanbei Takenaka left the army alone, and went to point out the situation and the way for the Tokugawa family who had not withdrawn until now.

The man who was always called the monkey looked livid. Seeing the strange army that had already rushed ahead and gradually replaced the Asai family and the army, he ordered loudly: "—Retreat! Iron guns, prepare to fire!"

No matter what kind of strange army it is, no matter how dangerous it is now... don't think about keeping him on this battlefield forever!
