Great name!

Chapter 4 There’s a war! Still a pioneer, dangerous!

Nobutora didn't have time to think too much, and immediately followed Katsukiyo and ran out of the city. They were wearing armor, holding spears, and bows and arrows on their backs. They also tied a flag with Oda Nobunaga's unique papaya on it. Pattern.

In addition, there are bits and pieces such as a katana, a wakizashi, and a fire origami strapped to the waist.

Carrying nearly thirty kilograms of weight on their bodies, they could only jog all the way to the outside of the city.

"Gather quickly, we will be out in a few moments!"

As soon as Nobuhu ran to the city gate, he heard a loud shout. He looked up and saw a general in golden armor riding a war horse running in front of the formation.

That person is Oda Nobunaga, who is only eighteen years old this year, only one year older than Nobutora.

Oda Nobunaga was tall, beautiful, and had a very loud voice. Nobutora could clearly hear Oda Nobunaga's shouts from more than a hundred meters away.

The two horse-riding samurai who followed Oda Nobunaga should not be underestimated. In Nobutora's memory, one was named Sasaki Narimasa, and the other was Maeda Inuchiyo from Arakko Castle.

Sasana Narimasa drove his horse forward and shouted: "Nobutora, Katsuki, return to your team quickly. The Arakawa team has been designated as the vanguard by the head of the family. Hurry!"

Nobutora and Mouri Katsuki didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly ran to the front, just in time to see the group leaders Arakawa and Juro.

Arakawa and Juro are wearing dazzling armor, their helmets and the naginata in their hands are shining with gold. They can be said to be the most handsome cubs among the crowd.

He rode an expensive Kiso horse, waved a golden sword and shouted: "Quick, organize the team, we are about to set off."

He saw Nobutora and Mori Shengqing running in the distance, and shouted: "You two come over and organize the team!"

The Arakawa team consisted of more than a hundred people, including more than thirty samurai and more than eighty ashigaru equipped with bows, arrows, spears, iron hats and leather armor.

Nobutora and Mori Katsukiyo are both walking samurai who lead the Arakawa team.

Mouri Katsuki was twenty years old, the older one, and was the group leader. Nobutora was the adjutant who coordinated with him in managing the group. There were more than thirty people in their group. Counting the samurai, there were ten people in total, which was a certain amount of ashigaru.

In addition to Arakawa and Juro as mounted samurai, there are two other mounted samurai in the Arakawa group: Kiemon Arakawa and Hannya Hannya. Their status is lower than that of Arakawa and Juro. They are responsible for taking charge of the left and right sides. One of the remaining samurai holds a flag. Samurai and several samurai on foot.

Under the command of Arakawa, Juro and two other mounted samurai, more than a hundred people quickly organized their teams.

"Go out into battle!"

Arakawa and Juro shouted loudly and took the lead. They formed a triangular formation with other mounted samurai and walked at the front, followed by the Arakawa team flag and the Oda family's papaya pattern flag.

After that, there were three vertical formations, with the samurai team in front and the ashigaru team behind.

Their target was the Sannoyama formation northwest of Narumi Castle and northeast of Sakurazaka Village.

Oda Nobunaga's tactical purpose was to bypass the defense line set up by Yamaguchi Nobunaga, threaten Narumi Castle, and force the Yamaguchi family to take the initiative, so that there would be no need to attack the city.

Sannoyama is a small hill with a height of only twenty-five meters. Their team of more than 100 people marched for nearly an hour and arrived at Sannoyama via a small road.

Arakawa and Juro immediately sent people to inquire about the news, and at the same time ordered: "Katsukiyo, take people up the mountain to check the situation, and set up the formation without any mistakes!"

"As ordered!"

Maori Shengqing turned around, immediately found Nobutora, and walked up the mountain with his subordinates.

"Nobuhu, later you will take the two of them to a place with a wide view and take a look at the surrounding situation."

Nobutora nodded and said, "I understand." Nobutora asked two ashigaru to climb up to the top of the mountain. He looked out and saw that the nearby terrain was relatively flat, and Sakurazaka Village could be seen to the west.

Looking east, you can see a mountain-like place hundreds of meters away. It is a high slope called Akatsuka.

As for the south, you can see Narumi Castle.

Nobutora left two ashigaru to watch from the west and south, and walked back.

Mouri Katsuki Kiyomasa commanded the ashigaru to insert bamboo poles into the ground, then pull out the papaya-patterned curtains to form a circle. This is where the main formation is.

"Brother, I have already seen the situation. I haven't seen anything unusual yet. However, I have left two ashigaru to keep an eye on Sakurazaka Village to the west and Narumi Castle to the south."

After hearing the report, Maori Shengqing nodded happily and said: "Oh, Nobutora, you did a good job. Go and tell Mr. Arakawa about the situation."

"I see."

Nobutora immediately went down the mountain, found Arakawa and Juro, and said, "Sir Arakawa, there are no abnormal situations in Sakurazaka Village and Narumi Castle to the west."

"That's good, I'll send someone to tell Mr. Nobunaga."

Arakawa Yojuro's expression was relaxed and freehand, and the flag behind him had the names of several samurai he killed written on it, which can be said to be a great achievement in battle.

Nobutora thought for a while, and for his own safety, he still said: "Lord Arakawa, there is a high ground a few hundred meters to the east, several meters higher than Sannoyama. If the enemy troops occupy that high ground, they can see the strength of our army. "

Arakawa and Juro frowned slightly and said reproachfully: "Okay, this is not your business. Go back and keep an eye on what's going on in Narumi City."

Nobutora didn't dare to say anything more when he saw the unhappy expressions of Arakawa and Juro. After all, this is not modern times. If I don't tell you about dignity and fairness, disobedience to your superiors on the battlefield will be beheaded.

Nobutora had no choice but to retreat to the mountain and take over the task of staring at Narumi Castle over there.

In just a moment, Nobuhu saw smoke and dust billowing in the direction of Narumi City. The dust hung low in the air and did not disperse for a long time.

"The enemy has sent out troops, most of them infantry!"

Nobuhu immediately made a judgment in his mind. After all, he had played a lot of war games and understood things like the art of war. Although it was just on paper, he had a slight advantage over people who knew nothing about it.

The Ashigaru behind him took a look. According to past experience, there were at least hundreds of people marching.

He immediately ran back and reported the news to Mouri Katsuki, who reported the message to Arakawa and Juro.

Nobutora was still on the mountain watching the situation on the road. Oda Nobunaga arrived at Sannoyama with more than 600 people, and then all went up the mountain to set up formations.

Nobutora was only a warrior on foot and was not qualified to enter the curtain at all. He could only wait in a flat place with Maori Shengqing and his subordinates.

There were faint sounds of quarreling inside the curtain.

Nobutora whispered to Mouri Shengqing: "There is a place called Akatsuka to the east, which is a few meters higher than ours. Once the enemy takes it, we can see the strength and weakness of our army. By then, our army will be at a disadvantage."

Maori Shengqing quickly covered Nobutora's mouth, looked at the others, and then warned in a low voice: "You must not say this kind of thing. If you say this before the war starts, the elders will treat it as a joke and behead you."

Nobuhu was shocked. He had also forgotten that this was a cruel era, and couldn't hold back his complaints for a while. If Maori Shengqing hadn't reminded him, he would have been reported, and his rise would have ended before he even started.
