Hashiba Hideyoshi stepped on the soil under his feet and sighed.

She actually hoped that the Shiba army could gain some momentum and frustrate Oda Nobunaga in this battle, so as to achieve her own ulterior goal.

But the current situation is that Oda Nobunaga is meticulous in his work and his strategy is almost flawless, which makes Hideyoshi Hashiba unable to continue to be optimistic about the Shiba Army.

Behind her, Takenaka Shigeharu smiled.

"Why does the Lord sigh?"

Hideyoshi Hashiba smiled bitterly.

"Bamboo Princess, you are asking questions knowingly.

The main hall is so powerful. The troops of Sakuma Nobumori and Kawajiri Hidetaka are waiting for an opportunity to attack Yu Wu's main battlefield at any time.

Takigawa Kazumasu defended Mount Oiwa, and the Sanada army's attack was thwarted, so they could only retreat in embarrassment.

Seeing that the Shiba army in Iwasaki Mountain and Shidake is unable to sustain itself, the outcome of this battle is already clear. It seems that the main hall has won this battle."

Takenaka Shigeharu looked at the Hashiba army marching ahead and said calmly.

"The Lord said this a little too early. I don't know the outcome of this battle yet, so it's difficult to make a conclusion now."

Hashiba Hideyoshi's eyes flashed and he asked Takenaka Shigeharu.

"Oh? Please ask Takenaka-hime to clear up my doubts."

Takenaka Shigeharu pointed at the sun and smiled.

"Lord, do you think this time is a little early?

It has just reached noon, and the main hall is urging you to send troops. If the Oda family is really sure of victory, why is the main hall so eager?

Two men, Sakuma Nobumori and Kawajiri Hidetaka, secretly came to Lake Yuwu. The Shiba family probably didn't know about it.

With 20,000 soldiers at their back, the main hall should choose to delay as much time as possible.

At least the frontier must be defended until the afternoon, and the overall situation can be determined only when the Sibo army is exhausted and then defeated in one fell swoop with fresh troops.

But what about now? It’s only noon, and the main hall can’t wait for you to send troops. Do you think this is a mistake in judgment by the main hall?”

Hideyoshi Hashiba narrowed his eyes.

"You mean that the main hall is also forced to launch an offensive in advance for some reasons?"

Takenaka Shigeharu pointed in the direction of Oiwa Mountain and said.

"We are far away from the edge of the battlefield and lack intelligence. I can't make any judgments, but I don't believe that the main hall can easily defeat Tsudo-don.

The main hall is indeed powerful. They secretly mobilized 20,000 soldiers from Minami Omi and Higashi Mino, preparing to use them as their trump card.

If it were an ordinary martial artist, he would definitely not be able to block the thunderous strike from the main hall.

But Tsudaden is not an ordinary person, that man is called a peerless man by the martial arts family, and he is a powerful person who cannot be underestimated.

The main hall can secretly accumulate a trump card, but the Tsudo hall is not prepared at all before the war?"

Hideyoshi Hashiba was thoughtful.

"You are right. Jindo Hall is not that easy to deal with. He must have a back-up plan. The main hall has not won yet, and the outcome of this battle is still in doubt.

But the Sanada army in front of us is dead.

Sanada Nobushige forcibly broke through the base of Mount Oiwa from early in the morning and attacked to the foot of Oiwa Mountain. He was blocked at the foot of the mountain by Takigawa Kazumasu, unable to advance even an inch.

According to reliable information, Sanada's army charged at least seven times, but failed to shake the Oiwa Mountain defense line in the slightest, and suffered heavy losses themselves.

At this moment, it would be very difficult for the Sanada Army to retreat from Shiyue.

They had already exhausted too much energy through the morning's breakthrough. Coupled with the hasty retreat, low morale, and the muddy terrain, they could not run very far.

Takigawa Kazumasuke was easily defeated by Sanada Nobushige, and his face was already disgraced.

At this time, she must be filled with hatred, and she will not let go of the Sanada people, and will use their blood to wash away her own shame.

The main hall ordered me to send troops to help, but I didn't dare to let go at this time, which would arouse the suspicion of the main hall. I must fully cooperate with Takigawa Kazumasu to flank the Sanada army.

The Sanada army has no way to go, and under the attack of our two armies, this humble mountain is where the bones of the Sanada army are buried."

Takenaka Shigeharu nodded.

"The Lord knows what's going on, so I feel relieved.

No matter how much you hope for Tsutado-den in your heart, you cannot be soft on the Sanada Army in front of you, why not take this opportunity to make contributions."

Hideyoshi Hashiba smiled.

"I know in my heart that Kato Kiyomasa, Fukushima Masanori, and Asano Nagamasa have also grown up, which just gives them a chance to show up.

Find a few more Ji Warriors, share the credit, and collect the Qiyue Seven Guns later, so that we can promote them more easily in the future."

Kato Kiyomasa, Fukushima Masanori, and Asano Nagamasa were all relatives of the Hashiba family, and they were trusted confidants of Hideyoshi Hashiba.

Now that the Hashiba family has great business, Hideyoshi must support his best friend to rise to power to protect his own family business, and it is also normal for the samurai family to provide military conveniences to his own people while the war is fierce.

Takenaka Shigeharu smiled slightly. These people had all been taught by her and were considered her disciples. She was naturally happy to see these people become famous.

The two of them talked in low voices, planning to use the Sanada people who were fleeing in panic as stepping stones to pave the way for the Hashiba family's cronies.

At this moment, bursts of loud noises, like thunder, suddenly came from the distance.

Hashiba Hideyoshi was stunned. Where did the flat land thunder come from under the bright sun? Is this going to have a thunderstorm?

But she looked up and saw that the sky was clear and blue, and it didn't look like it was going to rain at all. Did she hear it wrong?

Hashiba Hideyoshi looked at Takenaka Shigeharu and saw that her brows were also tightened.

"Hime Takenaka, did you hear that too?"

Takenaka Shigeharu nodded and said solemnly.

"The loud noise came from the northeast, on the east bank of Yuwu Lake, in the direction of the main battlefield."

Hideyoshi Hashiba took a breath.

"Maybe we think too much, just a few droughts and thunder?"

Takenaka Shigeharu thought for a moment, and just as he was about to speak, the thunder over there sounded again.

This time, both of them listened carefully, and Hideyoshi Hashiba counted in his mouth.

"One, two, three, four, it's not thunder, there is no such thunder."

Takenaka Shigeharu thought.

"My lord, does it sound like an iron cannon?"

Hashiba Hideyoshi frowned.

"Iron cannon? There shouldn't be such a loud iron cannon, right?"

Takenaka Shigeharu said in a deep voice.

"I heard that there are huge iron cannons on the Nanman ships. The barrels are as big as a human head and the sound is like thunder. They are the weapons of escort for the Nanman people across the sea.

The Kitakyushu Otomo family once received help from the Nanman people and destroyed the city with one cannon, which was called the collapse of the country.

Could it be..."

Hashiba Hideyoshi looked toward the northeast with fear in his eyes.

“The sound is like thunder, and the country collapses with one cannon.

The Nanman Sect has close ties with the main hall, and they are not willing to provide for the main hall to provide for the collapse of the country. Could it be that Jinduo Palace has obtained it?"

Takenaka Shigeharu said.

"My lord, please don't overthink it. We don't know what happened on the main battlefield. We should do our best first."

Hideyoshi Hashiba took a breath, exhaled it slowly, calmed his mind, nodded and said.

"What Takenaka-hime said is, don't worry about what happens over there, kill the Sanada army first."

The two of them looked solemn and continued to move forward. After taking a few steps, they stopped together and looked toward the northeast.

The thunder in the distance sounded for the third time, and then four more times, like a hammer, hitting everyone's heart hard, making people breathless.

———

Hideyoshi Hashiba didn't know what happened on the main battlefield, but Oda Nobunaga knew it very well.

Hearing the sound of artillery in front, Oda Nobunaga immediately realized that this was the collapse of the country.

She had proposed purchasing Guobeng to the Nanman Cult several times, but was rejected by the other party.

Yamashina Katsunagi, the Southern barbarian knight who helped the Oda family train spear and iron cannon tactics, swore to Oda Nobunaga that the Southern barbarians would never sell out the collapse of the country to any island country daimyo.

That incident with Kitakyushu Otomo's family was just an accident. It was an accident that the Nanman people had to compromise in order to establish a foothold on the island country and land on the land.

Oda Nobunaga gritted his teeth and cursed.

"These Nanman bastards, I shouldn't believe their lies. If there is a first time, there will be a second time.

Bagya Road!
