$ Chapter 739 20. Kanai Hideharu Takes the Lead

To be honest, Oda Nobunaga's cultivation was just so-so. His former idiocy was obvious to all, and his teacher Hirate was so angry that he cut himself. When he first met Ashikaga Yoshiaki, he didn't know anything about the etiquette of the samurai family, and he relied on Akechi Mitsuhide and Hosokawa Fujitaka to teach him on the spot.

Now that he has exploded, he naturally started to practice things like tea ceremony, waka, and renga. He has become more restrained and no longer as flamboyant as before.

Even so, when Nobunaga heard the words "The lieutenant general has a stomachache and it is difficult to send troops!", he almost exploded.

Kitabatake Nobuto actually sat and watched the success or failure, and pretended to obey Nobunaga's transfer order. At this point, don't talk about stomachache, even if you die, you have to be carried forward!

According to some anecdotes, when attacking the enemy, it is worthy of praise even if you unload your big and small dicks on the horse, and the samurai children are all loyal and brave.

How much pain must this be that he can't even send troops!

But thinking about the old retainers of the Kitabatake family who surrounded Kitabatake Nobutoshi, Oda Nobunaga seemed to have some understanding.

He only hated that he did not break his promise to kill Kitabatake Munenoshi, Kitabatake Munefusa and the gang. Then he arranged for his trusted Owari clan to enter Okawachi Castle, giving these jumping clowns an opportunity.

"Saburo! You hold my sword and go to urge the lieutenant general to send troops!" Nobunaga glanced at his horse and pointed at one person.

"Yes!" Okada Nagatomori Shigetaka immediately stepped out.

As a member of the Owari clan, he was considered the most trusted base of Nobunaga. Everyone was a community of destiny. If Nobunaga was finished, Owari would be a piece of meat on the chopping board of the Yamanouchi family, and Okada Shigetaka would definitely work hard.

Going with Nobunaga's sword was equivalent to being the military supervisor. To put it bluntly, whoever prevented the troops from going out would be killed. They are just clowns who only dare to pretend to obey but actually disobey. If they really have the ability, they would have rebelled on the spot and started a war.

After thinking about it, Nobunaga still sent dozens of cavalry to Okada Shigetaka. He might not be able to accomplish it alone.

"Send a message to Kankuro and Hizen to mobilize all the people in Tenjin Mountain and Matsuo Mountain to rescue Mikawa-no-kami!"

It will take some time to deal with the matter of Kitabatake Nobuto, but the military situation is urgent, and Nobunaga has to send the last bit of reserve troops.

Part of the Mino people led by Oda Nobutada and Kawajiri Hidetaka have been in the second line at this moment and have not been put into battle. They are considered to be living forces. And there is no doubt that these two are loyal to Nobunaga, one is his son, and the other is a hereditary old retainer.

The envoys rushed down the Danshodai and issued orders. As expected, Oda Nobutada and Kawajiri Hidetaka on Tenjin Mountain and Matsuo Mountain went down the mountain without saying a word and moved to the right wing of the Oda-Tokugawa coalition.

Nobunaga breathed a sigh of relief and returned his gaze to the most intense battle between the two sides in the center.

Just now, a cannon shot knocked down the large horse with stepped patterns of Sanada Nobutsuna. The Sanada army began to retreat in a panic, and the fifth advance of the Yamauchi army against the middle section of Oda was repelled.

Both sides were concerned about Sanada Nobutsuna. Nobunaga naturally hoped that Sanada Nobutsuna would be killed by a cannon, while Sanada Masayuki on the Yamauchi side even directly mounted his horse and rushed out to find his eldest brother. The Sanada brothers were friendly and respectful to each other. Sanada Masayuki's life was saved by his eldest brother, and he would not disrespect and love him.

When he saw Sanada Nobutsuna running back with his arms around the horse's neck, Sanada Masayuki breathed a sigh of relief.

Oda Nobunaga knocked down the horse mark with a cannon, and also scared Sanada Nobutsuna and his horse in front of the horse mark. That horse was also a good horse, but no matter how good the horse was, it was impossible to completely ignore the cannonball exploding behind its buttocks.

The horse was startled and threw Sanada Nobutsuna directly off. Kawahara Tsunaie was by his side and was also scared, but the young man carried Sanada Nobunaga on his back without saying a word and ran back. He even stole a horse halfway and put Sanada Nobunaga on it.

He was fine, but he was thrown off the horse and was stunned for a while, but now he has woken up.

This round of charge failed again, and everyone was quite upset. Who would have thought that Oda Nobunaga's cannon could shoot so far.

"I will go out in person!" Hosokawa Saime really couldn't sit still and prepared to make the sixth charge in person.

"I will go, my father is here to command the troops." Sanada Masayuki stopped him. First, his elder brother was defeated and he wanted to show more effort, and second, he thought it was not Hosokawa Saime's turn to go out.

"I have rested enough, I will go!" Kanai Aigoro drew out his big sword, with a heroic spirit.

Kanai Aigoro broke through the first horse fence in the center. When it comes to cutting people, a swordsman like him is really a good hand. If the Yamauchi family is the best at killing people on foot, there may be no one who can compete with him.

"Akigoro, you go first, I will personally follow, and we must break through this round!" Hosokawa Saime agreed, but still prepared to go out.

"Okay!" Kanai Akigoro didn't waste any words, tied the gold foil Nanban bag, and inserted a big flag with the word "five" on his back.

The Yamauchi Hatamoto 5th Division went out again, and Kanai Akigoro was particularly eye-catching in the crowd.

"Kaikai Kaimori Hideharu, who is known as the ghost Kanai, is the sixth stage of the charge!" Nobunaga's right-hand man Ota Ushiichi shouted loudly.

"The one who is behind is Hosokawa Saime Masami! The total number of 1,700 cavalry!"

Hearing Ota Ushiichi's shouting, Oda Nobunaga probably knew that the Yamauchi army had mobilized the two most courageous generals to try to break through in one fell swoop.

"Yuzaemon, quickly take 300 cannons with you, don't be stingy, fire with all your might!"

"Understood!" As the cannon general, Sasa Narimasa has been waiting for battle for a long time and can go out at any time.

Kanei Akigoro's reputation was earned by the Ono Tachi in his hand. In the battle of Jingzhi Yuekou, he fought with a small number of soldiers against tens of thousands of Takeda troops and made a great name for himself.

Everyone said that there was a golden-armored general in the Yamanouchi army who was unparalleled in martial arts and could kill Yaksha at night, and even ghosts and gods were afraid.

Sassa Narimasa was not an incompetent person, so he naturally wanted to fight such an opponent. He rode his horse all the way, commanding Nobunaga's iron cannons to quickly support the second central horse fence.

Hashiba Hideyoshi had been holding on here for almost an hour. The soldiers were exhausted, and the iron cannons had long been overheated and could no longer be used. Now he was naturally overjoyed to get the support of Sassa Narimasa. Pointing to the big flag with the word "five", he told him about the deeds of Kanai Akigoro.

The ghost Jinjing was naturally bluffing, and many of Jinjing Minggoro's subordinates were from the same clan and fellow apprentices, and their martial arts were quite good, so they were easier to command than others.

In front of them, the two sides were fighting back and forth at the fence, one wanted to break through, and the other was naturally defending. It was not the turn of Jinjing Minggoro, who was good at using the wild sword, to take action until a fence finally loosened.

"Someone pulled out the horse fence!" Jinjing Minggoro immediately prepared to lead the team forward.

"That person is Jinjing Kaimori Hideharu!"
