A day ago, on the evening of May 16, the Oda family was located in the camp of Sumata.
Yu Qiuping and a group of senior officers were gathering around the table in the main tent, with a map of Simeon spreading out on the table.
"According to the latest information," Yu Qiuhei whispered after listening to the messenger's report: "Saito Ryuki personally led the troops directly under the Saito family to set off, heading south along the east coast of Nagara River, and confronted the lord's troops in the 14-point area."
According to Yu Qiuping's request, Xiaobashi moved a few chess pieces placed on the map from the south of the Inaya Mountain Castle to the fourteen areas. Yu Qiuping always wanted to copy the sand tables from the war in his previous life, but because the map was not accurate enough, even some rivers and hills and forests were not marked; they did not have enough reconnaissance cavalry to draw a map with contour lines, so they had to use a flat map to make a straw.
"Why are there such accurate military numbers?" Fukushima Ansei asked in confusion.
"Because of Saito Ryuki..." Yu Qiuhei laughed disdainfully. He still remembers this famous "Ado"-style character in history. In the game "Nobunaga's Ambition" in history, his four-dimensional total was not over 15o. (The maximum value of the four-dimensional comprehensive value is 4oo) However, why can such a foolish king block Oda Nobunaga for 7 years? "He spends money every day, and does not care about the invasion of the Oda family. After being forcibly carried to the war by his elders, he still boasted about his own information, using the information of his army as his own boastful capital. He told everyone that he was the commander of the 4oo army and was going to fight to the death with Shishijo and Oda Nobunaga's army."
"Hey," Omaezaki Nakahide burst out laughing, "With this big fool, Oda Hall will definitely win. That big fool is probably not even aware of what the marching and war is like, how to command the 4ooo army?"
Just as everyone laughed because of Saito Ryuki's stupidity, Masayuki Sanada, who had not spoken suddenly said, "Your Highness, there is something wrong with our army's formation."
"Oh? Is there any problem?" Yu Qiuhei slightly adjusted his mind after being poured with cold water by Masayuki Sanada.
"Your Highness, be careful, the way out is not guaranteed." Masayuki Sanada pointed to the location of the nineteen forts on the map.
Yuqiu Ping looked carefully and immediately realized. Oda Nobunaga left the 19 fortress and crossed the Nagara River in order to guide Momata. Then he went north along the west coast and did not return to the east coast of Nagara River. However, the Saito family, who left the 14 fortress, went south along the east coast of Nagara River and reached the 14 fortress, which was only 15 miles away from the 19 fortress. The flat river between the two was just a more than an hour.
If Oda Nobunaga wants to support, he must first pass through Nagara River.
"The rain has been falling all the time these days, and Nagao River may have to rise," Yu Qiuping said in his heart that he was not good, "What should I do if the bridge is washed away?"
"You continue to stay in the tent and wait for further information," Yu Qiuping said, putting on a straw hat and raincoat, preparing to leave the tent. "Personal Guard, Power Guard, come with me."
·
Yu Qiuhei, Naoe Tadaehiro, and Amano Keito, took advantage of the afterglow of the sunset and rode his horse to the Nagagawa River four miles east of the camp. There was a pontoon bridge when Oda's family crossed the river. However, the rain was still underground, and the surging river water of the Nagagawa River was constantly whistling, impacting the pontoon bridge - three pontoon bridges were already broken, and the rest might not be able to survive tonight.
"Your Highness, please send someone to strengthen the pontoon bridge immediately." Naoe Tadao said, "Otherwise, if the pontoon bridge is damaged, when the Saito family really attacks the 19th village, it will be difficult for our army to cross the river and return. If the fighter plane is delayed, it is likely that the 19th village will be lost and the rear route will be cut off, and our army will also fall into a desperate situation."
"You are right," Yu Qiuping was about to order an emergency mobilization to ask everyone to build the floating bridge, but suddenly stood there in a daze.
Desperate situation...Oda Nobunaga, in a desperate situation.
A flash of light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
I am so stupid. I have been a retainer of the Oda family in the past few months and have almost become a loyal retainer of the Oda family.
I'm the Avenger!
Oda Nobunaga was in a desperate situation, which was not exactly what I wanted? The Oda family's strength was greatly damaged, so what did it have to do with me?
·
Yu Qiuping sneered and shook his head resolutely, "No, don't repair the floating bridge. After returning, don't mention it to anyone. We found an abnormality in the floating bridge. We said that we were going to the south to investigate the movements of several other Minon families."
"Also," Yu Qiuping immediately added: "It is not allowed to report information that may be lost in the back path to the lord, and block the news."
Yu Qiuping turned around and saw Naoe Tadaehide's face full of shock, while Amano Keito's face was gloomy.
"Maybe it shouldn't be hidden from you," Yu Qiuping took the reins of the horse, letting his horse turn around in the spot, looking directly at the two subordinates. "You are the people I trust the most."
"I joined the Oda family because I am not to make a fortune," Yu Qiuhei said sadly: "The late governor of the family treats me as much as a mountain, and His Highness Seine treats me like a kind father."
"I will never forget the blood hatred of His Highness of the family. Whether it is Oda Nobunaga or the rebellion within the Imakawa family, I will not spare them." Yu Qiuhei said, his eyes were red because of hatred. "His Highness Semena committed suicide by cutting his stomach and made me live, leaving me a handful of ribs," Yu Qiuhei said while taking out the white ribs used by Toshi Semena from his arms, "He told me that I still have something I haven't finished."
"I understand what Your Highness Seine means," Yu Qiuping said in a deep voice: "He hopes that I can avenge your highness for my family! Make up for my lifelong regret."
Yu Qiuping's sudden rebellion revealed by Yu Qiuping was like a bolt from the blue, making the two subordinates stunned.
"Your Highness! This is really too dangerous! Please change your mind! Think clearly!" Naoe Tadaehipei advised loudly.
"Personal Guard, you don't have to persuade me," Yu Qiuping smiled and shook his head. "This is the only reason for me to survive and continue to work hard. If I forget to take revenge, I will lose my goal of living."
Naoe Tadaehide and Amano Keito were stunned for a moment. Yu Qiuhei's determination surprised both of them. The huge amount of information required them to digest for a while, Yu Qiuhei also patiently waited for the two to change their ideas.
"Your Highness, are you planning to make a plan now to assassinate Nobunaga Oda?" Amano Kyoto thought for a moment, wiped away the rain on his face and asked cautiously.
"No," Yu Qiuhei shook his head and said, "I don't plan to make an initiative to assassinate Nobunaga Oda. Instead, I find a way to kill Nobunaga Oda using the current situation of fierce battles."
"So that," Amano Keido breathed a sigh of relief. If Yu Qiuhei really planned to make a hasty plan to assassinate the Lord, the hope was too small, and he would definitely try his best to persuade Yu Qiuhei to give up his thoughts. But if he just wanted to take advantage of the chaos and act according to the opportunity, then it would be fine.
After a while, Yu Qiuping saw the expressions of the two people calm down and spoke:
"So I joined the Oda family and from the first day, I had only one purpose."
Yu Qiuping said firmly word by word.
"Become stronger, become stronger, become stronger. So strong that I can take the opportunity to kill Oda Nobunaga in the chaos, and then go to the Imakawa family to kill that rebel!"
"Now is a great opportunity. As long as the pontoon bridge is washed away, if the Saito family really attacks the 19th village, the Oda family will not be able to return to reinforce the 19th village in time. After the rear road is cut off, Oda Nobunaga will also fall into a desperate situation." Yu Qiuhei looked at his two subordinates, "Are you two willing to follow me?"
In fact, without asking this question, Yu Qiuping also understood the reply from the two subordinates.
"As long as your highness is interested, I will swear to follow you to the death." Amano Keidu said in a deep voice.
"I have long vowed to spend my whole life following Your Highness, starting from the day when Your Highness gave me a new life." Naoe Tadaehye bowed deeply: "In this life, my personal guards will definitely not let each other down."
"Okay," Yu Qiuping nodded, "In the days afterwards, unless I take the initiative to raise this topic, you two should not try to plan and discuss privately, so as not to be noticed by others!"
·
Yu Qiuping took Amano Keito back to the camp, while Naoe Tadae was asked by Yu Qiuping to return to Yu Qiu's territory immediately and do a good job of receiving the support. Yu Qiuping planned to use the dozen ships seized before to carry the soldiers of Changban from Kisokawa if the situation was critical.
"Your Highness, where have you been?" After seeing Yu Qiuhei coming back, Masayuki Sanada asked.
"I went to the south to see if those wealthy families had any abnormal movements," Yu Qiuping said calmly, "I have sent back my personal guards back to the territory. Those wealthy families must be guarded."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Qiuping didn't give everyone time to continue discussing, so he clapped his hands and said, "Okay, it's getting late, everyone should take a break and go to bed."
"Okay! Let's go back and fight!" When Mimaezaki Nakahide heard the news of disbandment, he stood up and waved his fist excitedly as if he had heard a child from school.
"You actor! Haven't you lost yet?" Jigang Katsumasato laughed boldly, "No one can beat me in the entire Yuqiu family except that kid Kuronosuke!"
As soon as these two live treasures opened their mouths, the camp was filled with joy. After everyone said goodbye, they left the main tent and went to their respective tents.
Yu Qiuping let out a long sigh, and simply did not arouse suspicion. The first time I did such a thing, I was still very nervous.
He shook his head casually, trying to relieve his nervousness. But by chance, Masayuki Sanada, who was walking out of the tent, happened to turn around and look at Yu Qiuping with some complicated eyes.
·
On May 17, at six o'clock in the morning, in the camp of Sumata.
"What!" After hearing that the pontoon bridge had collapsed, Lai Long stood there immediately.
"I'm already sending someone to repair it," Yu Qiuping pointed to the east of the camp, four auxiliary soldiers walking towards Nagara River with tools and wood, "Is there anything important?"
"It's really bad luck!" Lai Long, the Hinaya, stomped his feet in anger, "The Saito family went south to attack Shijiuzouzouzhai this morning! That's where our retreat has food and grass!"
"Nani!" Yu Qiuhei said loudly in surprise: "Didn't the information sent yesterday say that we are going to fight the Saito family in the 14th area? Why did the Saito family go south!"
"Don't you say it earlier!" Yu Qiuping shook his head regretfully, "I've said that there was danger on the back road, so I've sent someone to strengthen the pontoon bridge! No one told me that the pontoon bridge is under my control!"
"Of course I can't blame Your Highness Yuqiu!" Lai Long, the Beehouse, knew in his heart that this time, Oda Nobunaga completely made a mistake. "Your Highness Yuqiu was just asked to defend Sumata. It's a pity that no one cared about the floating bridge!"
"I'll repay my lord now!" Lai Long hurriedly got on the horse's horse's house and said, "Please ask His Highness Yuqiu to repair it quickly!"

At 3:00 a.m., the Oda family army finally arrived at Sumata - but the pontoon bridge had not been completed. Oda Nobunaga had no choice but to collect ferries that were usually used by passengers on both sides of Nagara River, but they did not find many. The boatmen said that the Saito family sent many people to collect all the ferries to the east coast of Nagara River to control it. It seemed that there was a premeditation.
At 4 o'clock, the messenger sent by Oda Nobui from the 19th Jojo Village arrived at the east coast of Nagara River. Although it was too far away to hear what he was saying, Oda Nobunaga also understood what he had born: the Saito family had already begun to attack the 19th Jojo Village, which was only 50 people guarded! If the 19th Jojo Village falls, the Oda family's food and grass reserves will be completely completed, and the pontoon bridge built by the Oda family on the Kiso River and the ferry boats will be seized, and the retreat will be cut off.
In desperation, Oda Nobunaga ordered the entire army to join forces and start building a floating bridge together, hoping to go back to rescue soon.
Chapter completed!
