At 8 o'clock on May 16, the envoy sent by Yu Qiuping rushed to the territory of the four small families and informed them of the Oda family's attack on the north. The unexpected attack left the four families with no choice but to honestly not fight like last time and give way to the Oda family.

After these four small families gave up their resistance honestly, the Oda family's road to advance was immediately unobstructed. Instead of crossing Nagara River to the west and entering Sumata like they did last time, they went north and rushed to Inabayama Castle.

The first thing to be affected was the territory of the Hibino family. After the Hibino family was killed on Sunday, Kiyomichi, the strength of the Hibino family plummeted and was unable to resist the attack of the Oda army. As the vanguard, Shibata Katsuyaki conquered the 14th area, reinforcements led by Yuqiuhei, Morikozen and Hiroki Ikeda arrived immediately, and an army of 3,000 total troops gathered in the area 14 miles southwest of Inabayama Castle, the east bank of Nagara River, which was fourteen miles southwest of Inabayama Castle.

Yu Qiuping went on an expedition this time, and the number of auxiliary soldiers was short of money. He relied on the recruitment system to recruit 400 combat soldiers, but the auxiliary soldiers could not spend a lot of money to become full-time soldiers, but could only summon farmers from the territory. Yu Qiuping's 14,000 stone territory had a population of only more than 2,000, and after all, he would gather 500 auxiliary soldiers to go on an expedition. Yu Qiuping had no choice but to order all the soldiers to go on an expedition directly with armor, and only let the auxiliary soldiers carry food, tents, siege equipment and other supplies.

The army had just finished lunch, and as the pioneer general, Katsue Shibada, asked the entire army to continue to march towards the northeast to conquer the city of Ghana that was crossing in front of them - that was also the last barrier to Inabayama Castle.

"His Highness Shibata," Yu Qiuping suggested in the main tent: "Our troops have only 3,000 people in total, and the troops are not very strong. Why not wait for the lord's main force to arrive before continuing to attack?"

"Rain Qiu red leaves, just execute the order," Shibata Katsue did not consider Yu Qiuping's suggestions at all.

"His Highness Shibata, we are weak. What should we do if we encounter an ambush?" The conservative Yu Qiuping still suggested with concern.

"Where did people come from ambush us?" Shibata Katsuya refused in a muffled voice: "There are less than 2,000 people in Inabayama Castle, and the rich people of Nishimino have already watched the success or failure. What's the danger?"

Seeing that Yu Qiuhei was going to persuade him again, Shibata Katsuya shook his hand and signaled Yu Qiuhei not to say anything more. "The female samurai in Suruga cannot accomplish anything big." Shibata Katsuya said coldly: "Because she is timid and afraid of death, she refused to take advantage of the situation to attack. She had to wait until the war was almost missed, and the Saito family army returned to the rescue before you dare to launch an attack?"

Yu Qiukai, who was scolded in public, naturally would not be able to see where he looked. He shook his head and expressed his opposition, but he didn't say much. In the final analysis, this is not the Imakawa family, and the life and death of the Shibata Katsuya, the Oda family, has nothing to do with Yu Qiukai.

"You guys! You're so arrogant!" Yu Qiuhei didn't speak, but it didn't mean that Yoshihiro Ikeda could bear it. After seeing Shibata Katsuya scolding Yu Qiuhei so rudely, he blushed and retorted: "Is this your attitude towards your colleagues!"

"Your Highness Shibata, it was indeed inappropriate just now." Mori Kecheng, who had been talking too much, also whispered, looking at the arrogant Shibata Katsuya with dissatisfaction. After seeing the scene, the latter just shook his head disdainfully.

"Did you forget how bad you lost in Ghana before?" Ikeda Hengxing was completely angry by Shibata Katsuya and turned up the old account without hesitation, "It's in Ghana! It's here! At that time, the old lord's army was beaten by the old master Dao San and fled all the way back to Wei Zhang! Didn't you escape with your tail between your legs? Why didn't you teach a lesson?"

"Shut up!" Shibata Katsuya's forehead also bulged with veins. It seemed that he was still scared of the crushing defeat in Ghana many years ago. The reason why he was so anxious to capture Ghana City was probably to wash away the shame of that year.

"Let's go, this is my order." After a moment, Shibata Katsue emphasized without any doubt.

At seven o'clock in the afternoon, the Oda family army left the fourteen to head towards the city of Ghana in the northeast.

"How is it? Is there any new information coming back from Aoka?" Yu Qiuhei asked nervously when he saw Masayuki Sanada hurriedly riding his horse.

"Report to your Highness, Simino has been martial law, and the news is not easy to pass on," Masayuki Sanada shook his head regretfully, "Although Lord Uchiha led his subordinates to try his best to investigate, there is still no effective information. The only thing that can be known is that the main tyrants of Simino have already assembled their troops."

"The troops have been assembled..." Yu Qiuping murmured to himself. After a long time, he still couldn't come to any conclusions by himself, so he looked at Masayuki Sanada and asked, "Kibe, what do you think? Will the rich people of Simino come to attack us?"

"Your Highness is asking?" Sanada Masayuki frowned after hearing this, "I feel it's hard to say. Now the relationship between the Simino family and the Saito family has become so bad that it is a certain extent, and the majesty of the master's family has disappeared. I guess, Saito Ryuki must have dreamed of weakening the power in the hands of the Simino family, right?"

"Even outsiders like this, I know that the rich family of Simino will not be confused." Masayuki Sanada continued to analyze: "If a master family is so cautious and disgusted with his retainers, the retainers will naturally not work hard for him, right? Now Inabayama Castle is in danger. Why did Simino's rich family send troops to the Saito family to get the stoke from the fire?"

"You're right." Yu Qiuping nodded slowly, "But I still can't rest assured."

"Your Highness is worried. In fact, it may not have much to do with the current situation, but it comes from your highness's own style." Masayuki Sanada said: "Your Highness has always been a cautious person, and marching and fighting for safety first. As long as it is a quick attack order like His Highness Oda issued, your Highness will definitely feel instinctively instinctively instinctively. Care can sometimes avoid disasters, but it also restricts His Highness."

After hearing Masayuki Sanada's comments, Yu Qiuhei was also happy. After thinking for a while, it seemed that things were really like this. "This is right," Yu Qiuhei smiled, "Maybe I am too cautious. I will never make the decision of Han Xin, a fairy who secretly traveled to Chen Cang and fought against the enemy with the help of the enemy in my life! Even as his deputy general, I will definitely advise him to be safe!"

Along the way, Yu Qiuping, the second team, has always sent horses to the west and east to search, expanding his reconnaissance scope. However, no matter whether it was the horses to cross Nagaogawa to investigate the west bank or the riders who had explored more than ten miles east, they did not find any signs of the Saito family coming to attack. Several large forests, hills, and mountainous terrain, Yu Qiuping has also sent reconnaissance cavalry to take care of them one by one, but still did not find the so-called ambush.

"Maybe I'm really too worried," Yu Qiuping tasted with relief when he saw that Garner City had appeared in his sight. "Sashita Katsukiya made a good judgment."

柴田胜家抵达城下后,毫不含糊,即刻下令所部开始蚁附登城.柴田家的400战兵从四面八方围攻加纳城,让守城的斋藤家武士根本应付不过来.他手上不过只有几十战兵和一百多辅兵,没能坚持多久二之丸就已经沦陷了.等他率领残部退守本丸和天守阁后,柴田胜家立刻再次进逼,与申时七刻彻底占领了加纳城.

而等到战斗尘埃落定时,稻叶山城的援军才姗姗来迟.斋藤龙兴一直等到今天中午才得知了织田家大举入侵的消息,慌乱之中还难以想象织田信长居然发动了奇袭.等到他终于确定了消息的准确性后,立刻意识到稻叶山城已经陷入了危险!他亲自向西美浓豪族发出了道歉信,希望他们前来支援.同时匆忙动员剩下的部队南下支援,却还是晚了一步.眼看加纳城已经沦陷,只好灰溜溜地退回了稻叶山城.

Yu Qiuhei now has to admire the courage of Shibata Katsuya. If he had not resisted the opposition at noon today and asked the entire army to attack north immediately, he might not have been able to capture Ghana before the reinforcements arrived. Then the reinforcements of the Saito family could rely on the strong city of Ghana to resist the Oda family and wait for reinforcements to the reinforcements - the situation would also lose control.

For this reason, Yu Qiuhei personally apologized to Shibata Katsuya at the battlefield meeting that night. However, Shibata Katsuya seemed to have no idea about him, and ignored him for a moment, so he continued to discuss the situation.

·

Not long ago, the Saito family army located in the direction of Inuyama Castle had just received the alarm. Hiroki Hiroki and Nagai Dori didn't want to get the Oda family army that was still confronting him in Komakiyama Castle yesterday. Now they have headed straight for Inabayama Castle. When the two were panicked, their opinions also diverged.

Hiroki Hiroki, as the teacher of Saito Ryuki and Naojima of the Saito family, was very worried about the safety of Saito Ryuki and Inabayama Castle. He advocated that the entire army immediately return to Inabayama Castle and repel Oda Nobunaga who was attacking.

However, Nagai Dori had a different view. He, who was not so close to the Saito family, advocated surrounding Wei and saving Zhao. The army that had already assembled near Inuyama entered Ozaka directly and joined forces with Oda Nobuki's troops to attack Komakiyama Castle and Kiyoshu Castle, forcing Oda Nobunaga to return to the rescue.

这一主张立刻得到了远山家,远藤家和犬山织田家的赞成.远山家和远藤家如果千辛万苦赶回去增援,不仅什么好处都捞不到,甚至可能要和织田家主力大战一场.可是如果避实击虚,攻击兵微将寡的小牧山城和清州城,不但可以大肆劫掠城下町和村庄,好好地赚一笔,而且可以避免伤亡.犬山织田家更是如此,他们想着的不是如何保护斋藤家,而是如何最大限度削弱织田家对犬山方面的威胁.
