$ Chapter 743 24. Beihata People Fight Against Thieves

Okada Shigetaka, whose name was suddenly called, subconsciously looked back, but before he could react, he was struck with a knife!

There was no struggle at all, a stab in the back, you couldn't defend yourself even if you wanted to. With a cry, Okada Shigetaka died tragically in the shogunate tent of the Kitahata people. The generals who sat down were shocked. They just wanted to sit back and watch the success or failure. In fact, they were not ready to directly confront Oda Nobunaga.

"Can't you all make a decision?" He thrust the knife full of blood into the ground, and the person strode to Kitahata Nobugi's side in the eyes of everyone who could not explain.

Who is it if it’s not Toriya Oishi and Mori Mitsui!

"The matter has come to this, we have to do it!" Kitahata Tomochika, who was sitting at the bottom, immediately drew his sword.

After receiving his order, many Kitahata samurai who were originally guarding outside the tent launched a sudden attack on dozens of Oda troops who were not yet aware of it. If it were a face-to-face battle with gongs and drums, these dozens of people under the leadership of Okada Shigetaka might not be able to defeat the siege. But it was a pity that Okada Shigetaka was attacked and killed first, and then they were caught off guard and besieged by several times the number of Kitahata people, and were quickly killed.

"You...you...want to rebel!" Kitahata Xinju has already figured out what this bunch of Kitahata people are going to do.

Fujikata Asanoge and others immediately drew their swords and stood up, and several Kitahata Shinju's sidemen surrounded Kitahata Shinju, but they were only a few people. The Oda clan's control over the Kitahata clan was too weak. The negative consequences of Oda Nobunaga's personal military prowess are now being revealed.

"Hmph... Your Highness, please give the order to come down the mountain and join forces!" Toriya O Mitsui was a die-hard member of the Kitahata family. He did not obey Oda Nobunaga at all and always followed Kitada Guoji's orders.

Now Kitahata Nobuyuki is the son-in-law of Kitahata Nobuyuki. In terms of status, he can accept Kitahata Nobuyuki as the head of the family, but in terms of the interests of the entire family, the Kitahata family must be the main one. He, Oda Nobunaga, is nothing! Now is a great opportunity for our Kitahata clan to break away from the Oda clan!

"Come down the mountain to fight? How are you doing?"

"I just saw Oda Kankuro and Kawajiri Hizenmori moving their troops!" Toriya Omitsei didn't speak loudly, but his tone was full of ruthlessness.

"No, no, no, no..." How could Kitahata Shinju go down the mountain to attack and kill his own nephew.

"It's not up to you, Your Highness!" Toriya Omitsei turned around and looked at Muzukuri Gumamasa, Morimoto Gutoshi, Tahara Shigetsuna and others who were still hesitating.

"What are you waiting for!" Kitahata Tomochika had just killed dozens of people. Now his body was covered in blood, and even his head, face, and braids were bright red. He was like a god of death, exuding a gnawing fear.

"Come down the mountain and join the battle!" Kizou Nagamasa is only nineteen years old at the moment. His father is a little hesitant, but he can't bear the loneliness. If he follows Oda Nobunaga all his life, sooner or later the Kizukou family will suffer because he is a member of the Kitahata clan. The important ministers were eliminated. If you don't take advantage of this opportunity, it will only be slowly consumed.

"Okay!" Mu Zao Juzheng finally made up his mind.

"Beat the drum and come down the mountain! The target is Oda Kankuro!" Toriya O Mitsui no longer consulted Kitahata Xinji, but gave the order directly as the elder of the Kitahata family.

The retainers of the old Kitahata clan, who were originally dissatisfied with the fact that the Kitahata clan was following the Oda family, immediately marched out to send troops, and those national tycoons who surrendered to Oda Nobunaga were already in trouble. Everyone was in the same boat when they killed Okada Shigetaka. , no one can escape.

Toriya O Mitsui is actually a man of profound intelligence. If these people are directly determined to attack Oda Nobunaga, judging from the fact that these people only dare to use the rubbish excuse of "abdominal pain" to prevaricate Nobunaga, they are definitely I wouldn't dare.

Now, Okada Shigetaka was killed first, and the difficulty was reduced to attack Oda Nobutada and Kawajiri Hidetaka. This acceptance was easier than asking them to immediately kill Oda Nobunaga.

Moreover, as the Kitahata clan was accustomed to being pro-shogunate, Kitada Gujiao, who was living in seclusion, naturally received a secret letter from Ashikaga Yoshiaki. Originally, Ashikaga Yoshiaki hoped that Kitahata Tomato and his son Kitahata Tomofusa would launch a rebellion in Minami Ise, expel the pro-Oda forces in the family, and seize control of the family. It would be best to send troops to attack the Oda forces in Northern Ise.

But a God-given opportunity!

Dismount Taro and raise troops to Luo!

Oda Nobunaga, who is not rich enough to squander his military strength, is very likely to bring the Kitahata people who can mobilize more than 10,000 people to join the battle. This is a real good opportunity.

Kitahata Tomochika, Toriya O Mitsui and others who originally tried to activate immediately suppressed the action and quietly waited for Oda Nobunaga's movements. If Oda Nobunaga had mobilized all the people of Nobi and the two countries to go to Zhanshan, then Nobi would be empty, and they would take advantage of the situation to raise troops.

If Nobunaga marches and mobilizes the Kitahata people to join the battle, that will be exactly what he wants!

It is simply impossible for those of us who are unwilling to beat up the world's orthodox Mataro Ashikaga Yoshiaki. But if we want to beat you Oda Nobunaga in turn, then we will be very happy.

We can't do it to others, but if we do it to you, Oda Nobunaga, we're worth two!

Moreover, with Ashikaga Yoshiaki's secret envoy and imperial letter, as long as he rebels now, he will immediately become a hero anyway. If another petition is given to Ashikaga Yoshiaki, then Ashikaga Yoshiaki will be in charge of the world in the future, and the Kitahata family will be a minister of state in the new shogunate.

After leaving the mountain early, the outcome was uncertain, and the Kitahata family would not use all their strength for Ashikaga or Yamauchi. The balance of victory is now tilting towards the Yamauchi Army, but the main force of the Oda family has not been seriously damaged. Nobunaga's own team and at least 20,000 troops from the enemy teams are still fighting against the Yamauchi Army near the bombing platform.

If the Beibata people descend from the mountain, they will have the power to determine the world!

The sound of drums "dong dong dong dong" rang out, and the Kitabatake troops who had been defending the Midoyama finally began to go down the mountain to join the battle. The huge force of 12,000 people, no matter which side they were on, had a huge impact on the battle situation.

Oda Nobunaga on the stage saw that the central defense line was breached, and he had already had a trace of retreat in his heart. Now that he saw the Kitabatake troops going down the mountain, he could completely block the gap in the center.

As long as he launched a counterattack, no longer passively defended to consume the Yamauchi army, but tried to defeat the enemy in front of him, then the worst case scenario would be a one-for-one exchange. Everyone was defeated for a while, and the battle ended in a draw, and they retreated to each other.

The Yamauchi army could not rush the Oda army and could not enter the Nobi Plain, so the momentum of going to Kyoto would be reduced, and the final winner must be him, Oda Nobunaga!

However, just as he was preparing to mobilize troops to launch a counterattack against Imagawa Yoshichika and others, the Kitabatake troops who came down the mountain launched a strong attack on Oda Nobutada and Kawajiri Hidetaka who were moving towards Danshodai.

"Support the shogunate and fight against the rebels! Yoshi is in the mountains!" Kitabatake Tomochika, who rushed in the front, encouraged the soldiers.
