    Tianzheng 9th year, September 10th.

    Li Xiao led the Hida Echu Army and marched out from Oyama Castle.

    The Hida Echu Army Corps initially approached Echizen along the Hokuriku Road.

    The current situation in Echizen is quite complicated. After the battle of Kitanojo Castle, Li Xiao led his army back to Kaga.

    Due to the excessive losses of various materials, Li Xiao had to stop large-scale military operations during the year.

    After the destruction of the Hokurikudo Army from the Oda family, they also lost control of Echizen.

    Therefore, Li Xiao and the Oda family have been fighting for each other in Echizen, each supporting the Echizen wealthy family and competing for Echizen.

    Therefore, neither party has any real and effective control over Echizen.

    This time, after the autumn harvest was completed and the military rations were replenished, Li Xiao finally took a breath and led his army into Echizen again.

    Facing the Hida Echu Army, which had destroyed the Hokurikudo Army, the local Echizen wealthy family clamped their tails tightly, as if they were willing to serve as Li Xiaoma's pawns.

    The Echizen nobles who supported Oda were all frightened by the news and fled the city that night. Everyone was rumored that Li Xiao would lead the Hida Etchu Army's 50,000 troops and would enter Echizen again.

    Thinking of the Shibata Katsuie who was destroyed under Beizhizhuang City, no one dared to take this news seriously at the moment.

    At this moment, Azuchi Castle is in the castle tower.

    Faced with Akechi Mitsuhide¡¯s angry rebuke, Oda Nobuo said angrily: ¡°I received news from Echizen¡¯s wealthy clan that Li Xiao was in Echizen, gathering the wealthy clans and advancing along the Hokuriku Road. Is this wrong?¡±

    Akechi Mitsuhide shook his head.  He said: "Do you think Li Xiao will attack Antu City with one army? In this case, you are underestimating the military strategy of the Major General of the Guards!"

    At this time, several attendants had brought the map and spread it on the ground.

    Akechi Mitsuhide took a bamboo stick, pointed to the location of Echizen on the map, and said: "If I were Li Xiao, I would never enter lightly. Instead, I would turn west from the Hokuriku Road and enter from Echizen Ono County.  Omino, pass through Gujo Hachiman Castle, go straight to the Nobi Plains, and join forces with the powerful Mino troops at the lower island of Kajida Castle!"

    The generals of the Oda family followed Mitsuhide Akechi's bamboo stick and looked at it from the map.

    Waiting for Akechi Mitsuhide to bring the bamboo stick to Kajida Castle and give him a heavy meal.  The faces of the Oda family retainers present changed color instantly.

    At this moment, everyone reacted.

    A surge of fear surged up from the soles of their feet, immediately shocking everyone.

    Ikeda Hengxing opened his eyes and shouted, "This is a trap! No, Lord Kawajiri's legion is over!"

    ¡°Obviously, Li Xiao is going to join forces with Takeda Nobushige, and they are going to attack from the front and back to open up the Nakasen Road!¡±

    The forest chief can make erotic speeches.

    Everyone looked at the map with pale expressions.  Sweat dripped from his forehead.

    "Impossible. If Li Xiao's army wants to open up the Nakasendo Road with the main force of our family, why not go directly to Omino through Echu Hida, but take a detour from the Hokuriku Road."

    Oda Nobuo made his own excuses.

    For this simple and easy-to-understand question, no one has the patience to answer his question at this moment.

    Morinagako said in a deep voice: "It seems that Takeda's plan to go to Luo this time is still based on Shingen's old wisdom back then!"

    Akechi Mitsuhide held up his bamboo stick and said slowly: "Yes, but this time the main army will not take the Tokaido Road. Instead, they will go out of the Nakasen Road and set up a trap here."

    "Back then, Li Xiao fought to the death to capture Hachiman Castle and Kajida Castle in Mino County. Today, they are playing a role again."

    Hosokawa Fujitaka is also a very resourceful person. He analyzed and said: "It seems that Lord Kawajiri must retreat as soon as possible, otherwise he will be caught in the attack of the Takeda family."

    Akechi Mitsuhide nodded and said: "I have already sent someone to warn Lord Kawajiri, but I am worried that even Lord Kawajiri will not listen to my words at all, but based on my guess, Takeda Chaoyue and Li Xiao have already been in Mino  Insiders have been placed among the wealthy families."

    "Hinata Mori-sama, you are saying that someone from the Mino wealthy family will betray the family and defect to Takeda."

    "It's very possible."

    "Can you give me a detailed report?" Oda Nobutada sat in the main seat without seeing the map. He was inevitably a little confused when listening to what the retainers said.

    Akechi Mitsuhide said with an ooh and aah: "Reporting to my lord, Takeda Nobushige, Li Xiao's tactics can be regarded as a replica of the Takeda family's Woodpecker tactics, that is, using the main force to leave Nakasendo. If our army forms a formation on Nakasendo, it will  If we are on the verge of meeting the main force of the Takeda Army, we will be attacked from behind by the Hida Etsuchu Corps of the Rangers."

    Oda Nobutada suddenly understood. He patted his thigh and halfHe straightened up and said: "What a danger!"

    Oda Nobutada pondered for a while and said: "If our army blocks Takeda Sogetsu at Nakasendo, and instead uses its main force to seek Hokuriku Road, and the enemy forces on Tokaido fight decisively, then if they go to Hokuriku Road, they will be defeated and enter the East China Sea.  After Daohou, you will find Takeda Chaoyue, and Li Xiao got through the main army of Zhongshan Daohou appearing behind him."

    Meinong, Northern City.

    The lord of the castle, Ando Hyuga Mamoru, was sitting cross-legged in the castle tower, reading the letter in his hand by the light.

    After reading the letter back and forth three or four times, Ando Mamoru folded the letter, put it under the futon, and slowly said to the outside world: "Immediately send someone to pay the troops sent by the master's family."  Eyes, all killed."

    When he heard the words, he was immediately surprised.

    Ando Mamoru's face darkened and he shouted: "Go and do it immediately! Be sure not to disturb too many people."

    The man approached and nodded.

    After saying this, Ando Mamoru took out the letter paper under the futon and read it again.

    Suddenly a teardrop fell from his already cloudy eyes, and Mamoru Ando let out a long sigh and said: "Takenaka, why did you pass away so early? You are so jealous of your talent!"

    Say it, Ando Mamoru let out another long sigh.

    On the paper sliding door, reflected in the candlelight, was the rickety shadow of one of the three people in Meinong in the past.

    The next day, Kajitian Castle was not far from the Northern City.

    The Ashigaru of the Takeda Army, with the sun and moon on it, is guarding the city with a gun.

    Suddenly a fast horse came galloping from afar.

    When several Takeda Army ashigaru saw it, they hurriedly ran down the mountain, stood in the road with guns, and shouted: "Stop someone."

    At the same time, on the arrow scull, two archers set up their bows and arrows, aiming at the rider.

    After the rider galloped close, he reined in his horse.

    The war horse was thrashing in circles on the spot. The man shouted to the ashigaru who was blocking him: "I am the envoy from the northern city. Please report to the lord of your city as soon as possible."

    "Is it finally here?"

    Under the arrows, a tall man slowly walked out and said to the ashigaru: "Master Ando Hinata Mamoru, what do you want me to say?"

    "Who are you?" The rider looked at the burly warrior and couldn't help but be shocked and secretly surprised in his heart.

    "I am Dao Shengmeng!" the other party said boldly.

    The other party was stunned for a moment. After taking a closer look at the other party's appearance, he jumped off the horse without hesitation and said: "Reporting to Lord Shima Katsuruo, my lord has agreed to your lord Yakata's decision to surrender to the Takeda family, and the northern city  One hundred thousand dan of military rations will be provided.¡±

    "One hundred thousand stones of army rations! That's great."

    After Dao Shengmeng heard this, he laughed and said: "Quick, someone, bring my horse!"

    After Shima Shengmeng finished speaking, the envoy saw the gate of Kajida Castle suddenly opened.

    The suspension bridge in front of the city gate was lowered.

    The ashigaru brigade of the Takeda Army with bright armor stood ready behind the city gate with guns in hand.

    "This is!"

    The messenger was stunned.

    "Set off!"

    Follow the current warrior and press your hand.

    The Takeda army behind the city gate began to pick up their spears and began to run hard and move forward.

    For a moment, smoke and dust billowed, and the team was like a long dragon, flowing in and out.

    Afterwards, the Takeda Army's cavalry also appeared, and the mounted warriors accelerated their horses wildly.

    Daosheng quickly mounted his horse, waved his whip, and shouted: "Send the order, the whole army will march towards the northern city at full speed!"

    Youban Mountain, with an altitude of 750 meters.

    The border between Ono County and Mino County in Echizen.

    The reason why this mountain is called Youban Mountain is because the climbers sweat profusely.

    (However, there is another saying that even Nobunaga nobunaga's daimyo Endo Keitaka, who always attacked Echizen, fought here and killed the opponent's blood in a river, and the blood was like boiling oil.)

    No matter what, this mountain is difficult to walk on.

    On the mountain road on the mountain on the mountain, the team of the Takeda Army Fei Yuezhong Corps was arranged into a long snake and trek in the mountains.

    ???????? Just as Akechi Guang showed up at the military meeting and predicted.

    The main force of Li Xiao's Hida Echu Army, after a false shot in Echizen, passed through Ono County in Echizen and plunged into the mountains of Omino.

    Li Xiao led the war horse Heideng and trudged up the mountain like an ordinary ashigaru.

     Li Yong and Sanada Nobunari walked beside Li Xiao, both looking like they were dripping with sweat.

    "It's really difficult to walk on these Omeinong mountains." Li Yong said breathlessly.

    "If you have been to Hida, you will definitely regret what you said." Li Xiao patted his son on the shoulder and said.

    Sanada Nobushige also smiled and said: "Your Highness, you can be satisfied. If it is delayed another month and a half, this mountain range will be covered with heavy snow and it will be impassable by then."

    Li Yong shook his head and said: "Father, in order to climb this mountain, we left all the big guns and equipment behind. Without the big guns and equipment, our army's combat effectiveness will be weakened a lot."

    "Can't we fight without a big tube?" Sanada Nobushige asked.

    Li Yongyan said: "Of course not, it's just the way of using troops, of course the more the better."

    While everyone was waiting to speak, a samurai suddenly came to report and said: "Reporting to my lord, Ando Mamoru, one of the three Mino people, has been betrayed by our army. Lord Shima Shengmu has led the Mino people to the north.  city."

    Hearing this, Li Zheng said: "Thanks to Mr. Takenaka, otherwise Ando Mamoru would not be so easy to betray."

    Li Xiao nodded, folded the horsewhip, and said in a deep voice: "Send the order and order the army to speed up. In three days, the entire army will arrive at the gate of Kajida Castle!"
