Chapter 299 It's really costly
In the evening after the rain, the clouds cleared, and the Oda Army with their backs facing the setting sun stood in a cold light under the afterglow!The striker of the Imagawa Army was suddenly intercepted by the Oda Army, and was in a hurry for a while.

At the same time, the vanguard also noticed that there was the banner of Oda Nobunaga in the army that blocked them at the mountain pass, and behind this army of "at least 4000 people", they could faintly see the Oda family emblem similar to the Japanese flag. A formation of curtains!The pioneers of the Imagawa family couldn't help being upset at this moment. In their eyes, even if it is a famous name like "Wu Ru Nobunaga", once they can kill him, it will be a real achievement!
Therefore, after this vanguard force passed the military report of "encountering the main force of Oda" to the rear, it began to try every means to annihilate this enemy force!
It's a pity that the Qingzhou City troops and Nagoya (Nagoya) Castle troops that are Nobunaga's own army are not the "chicken tile dogs" that the Imagawa family encountered before.In order to complete the task, the Oda army used as a bait opened fire at the moment of contacting the enemy. Twelve 12-pound infantry guns fired at the same time, and there were hundreds of iron guns on the side to cooperate with the shooting.Let the vanguard of the Imagawa Army's vanguard suffer heavy losses the moment they encounter the enemy!
The scariest thing was the 12 infantry guns firing at the same time. When the 12 shells were fired, twelve obvious blood lines appeared in the enemy army.The Imagawa family also has a small amount of iron cannons, but they never thought that there are such big iron cannons.Frightened by the power of the infantry artillery, the forward troops could only choose to retreat for the time being.

However, the "new force" coming from the rear was full of years of meritorious service, and was limited by the width of the narrow valley road in the barrel. They bumped into the retreating forward, and the two troops mixed together and made a mess group.The Oda Army on the side was stunned!

"So it's still possible to fight like this?"

Stay dumb, but they are not polite at all. After several consecutive rounds of iron cannon strikes, the already chaotic Imagawa front army has suffered countless casualties.The firepower of the Oda army's bait also made the generals of the Imagawa family recognize that Nobunaga himself was in the main formation behind the Taniguchi enemy army.Many ronin who had just joined the Imagawa Army began to command non-stop for military exploits.

If the forwards of the Imagawa Army gather their attacking forces in one place, it may only take one or two charges to break through the Oda Army's first line of defense.But the generals who led the army didn't know what they were thinking, and even let the soldiers disperse, as if they were going to lead the whole army to surround Nobunaga's main formation.

However, they may not have inquired about the number of iron cannons in Owari beforehand. As a result, the 6000 troops of Imagawa Pioneer have not waited to form an encirclement circle, and the nearly 2000 iron cannons in the decoy array exploded one after another in an instant. The 12 infantry guns were also dispersed, pouring ammunition on the surrounding enemy troops.

As a result, the 6000 troops of the Imagawa Army could not take advantage of the Oda Army.Since these people can't take advantage, the solution is also very simple, just continue to invest in troops.Because once they form a circle of encirclement, Oda Nobunaga will become a turtle in the urn in an instant, and no matter how they handle Nobunaga, they will just be able to catch it.

Therefore, the Imagawa Central Army, who was eager for quick success and instant benefits, also rushed out with the former army after receiving the order, while Imakawa Yoshimoto's main team slowly followed the Chinese army, even if it was out of touch with the Chinese army, there was no worry!

"Hahahahahaha!"

Seeing that Yoshimoto Imagawa was laughing so much, the generals asked, "Why is your lord laughing?"

Imakawa Yoshimoto said with a smile: "I laugh at that fool who has no strategy and little wisdom. If I use soldiers, I am ambushing an army here, and what will happen when our army is out of touch?"

Just before Imagawa Yoshimoto's voice fell, there was a sudden roar of mountains and tsunami from behind the hills on the south side!In the blink of an eye, an army of more than a thousand people crossed the hills and went straight to the Imagawa headquarters at the foot of the mountain.And the head of the enemy riding on the horse was dressed in pitch black, and didn't even have a helmet on his head!The general opened his eyes wide and angry, with an expression of wanting to eat the flesh of Imakawa, and shouted:
"Target! Imakawa Yoshitou-level!"

"Kill Imagawa!"

"Kill it!"

"Come on!"

At this time, Imakawa Yoshimoto regretted that he underestimated the enemy, but there is no medicine for regret in the world.The Oda army rushing down from the hill broke through the guards of Imagawa Honjin in just an instant.Oda Nobunaga rushed to Yoshimoto himself first, and when he drew his sword in a panic, he took advantage of his horse's momentum and slashed across Yoshimoto's neck, a big head flew high, and the first bow of Tokaido died on the spot. Immediately, the blood spurted high!

"Imagawa Yoshimoto has been claimed by Oda Nobunaga! The rest of the enemy generals are still captured!"

"Imakawa Yoshimoto is dead, and those who surrender will not be killed! Today Chuan Yiyuan is dead, and those who surrender will not be killed! Today Chuan Yiyuan is dead, and those who surrender will not be killed!"

From the time when Nobunaga took people over the hills to when the key generals of the Dao Imagawa Clan handed over the heads, the whole process didn't even take 3 minutes.And a battle that could determine the survival of a country ended in such a dramatic way.

The battle was indeed beyond everyone's expectations, even Imagawa Yoshimoto did not expect that he would follow in the footsteps of Ozurai Takatoro.Presumably, the result of this battle will soon spread all over the world with the retreating Imagawa Army. This will not only reverse everyone's stereotype of the so-called "big fool of Owari", but will also become the capital for the rise of Owari Kingdom.

Of course, more people will notice that in this battle, the Oda family's hot weaponry can kill a large number of enemy troops with less fighting.Presumably, the two weapons, the iron cannon and the infantry cannon, will also become the focus of discussion at meetings of major powers across the country in the next period of time.Dongying's new round of arms race is a certainty. It depends on how Dongying's craftsmen imitate it, or whether Dongbao will expand its sales scale!

By the time Bao'er arrived at Qingzhou City, even Imakawa Yoshimoto's head had been pickled with lime by Nobunaga and sent back to Junfu City.However, Nobunaga is still very grateful for the friendship that Baoer can travel hundreds of miles, and solemnly thanked Baoer for his strategy!

"What is this doing to me?"

Nobunaga remained the same, patting Bo'er on the shoulder, and said carelessly: "If you hadn't played this trick in Kasuga Kingdom last year, I might not have been able to come up with such a good plan!"

"You have to have confidence in yourself. Even without my jewels in front of you, you will definitely be able to come up with such a wicked tactic!"

"Although I understand that you are praising me..." Nobunaga put on a not-so-intelligent look and said, "But why do I always feel that there are thorns in your words?"

The two chatted with each other for a while, and finally Bao'er finally said his request: "Nobunaga, please find a place for my family to live!"

"Eh? I heard that your elder brother was forced to resign from all his official positions by the Miyoshi clan, but it doesn't mean that he has to relocate his family! At worst, if you go to slaughter Miyoshi's family again, the sword master will be over!"

"Please." Bao'er clasped her hands together and begged, "It's not as simple as you think! I do have a reason to move!"

Nobunaga nodded in agreement, and asked Boa where he likes to live.He thought that Bao'er would ask him for a city or a walled place somewhere, but he didn't want Bao'er to choose Nagoya Port, which was under construction!
"Why? Although development has started there, it's always been a barren land!"

"It's nothing." Bao'er replied decisively: "It's more convenient when you're running!"

"Eh?"

Today, the construction of Nagoya Port is just the beginning, and the scale of the port is not much larger than that of ordinary fishing ports.But Sheng's planning here is reasonable, and the docks are all made of stone and concrete, so it must not be a problem for a hundred years after the city is built.

Since the opening of Nagoya Port, the Oda family has finally realized the convenience of sea trade and the extra profits brought about by the prosperity of business.Now merchants from Shinano, Mino, Hida, Kai and other places have also begun to get used to going to the surrounding areas of the Seto Inland Sea by sea through Nagoya Port.

More importantly, even at the most critical moment when the Imagawa clan invaded Owari, the Oda family could still obtain commodities from all over the country from the seaport.Now the Oda family can even announce that they will give up land cargo transportation, and all materials will be supplied by sea without any problem.Presumably, when other daimyos form the "Oda siege network" in the future, Nobunaga will never be as embarrassed as in history again!
"So, you really plan to choose Nagoya Port?"

Bao'er nodded and asked, "Is there any question?"

"No, I just want to ask how big a city you want to build?"

Bao'er asked with a puzzled look: "There are not many people in my family, so why build something like that?"

"I think you should build one."

"how do I say this?"

"Although I have mortgaged my sister to your Toho Chamber of Commerce, don't you always pay attention? That is the sister of Owari country daimyo, and Oda Nobunaga who will conquer the world in the future. You can't treat her badly." She! A princess naturally needs a princess..."

"Wait! Wait!" Bao'er immediately stopped Nobunaga who kept nagging, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter with mortgaging your own sister?"

It turned out that when Oda Nobunaga learned that Imagawa Yoshimoto was planning to go to Los Angeles, he signed a loan agreement with Ryoma to purchase the 6-pound field gun of the Toho Chamber of Commerce.Because that thing is too expensive, and the Dongbao Chamber of Commerce rejected all of Nobunaga's real estate mortgage requests, so Nobunaga had to make up his mind to mortgage his own sister Oda to the Dongbao Chamber of Commerce in order to keep the country!

Until Nobunaga fulfills the repayment obligation, the collateral will be kept by Baoer's family.So Ryoma's joke that "Nobunaga is about to mortgage his sister to the Chamber of Commerce" at the beginning is actually Nobunaga's true feelings now!

Bao'er was completely numb. At this moment, he seemed to suddenly understand Brother Dao's feelings back then, and couldn't help but say: "You really spent all your money for your dreams!"
