Chapter 49 One step away
"...Princess, I just heard the report of the scouts who came back. It is said that just yesterday, a farmer nearby saw the figure suspected to be the head of the Imakawa family on the way."
At this time, Nishiba Nagashui had already got off the horse quickly and neatly. While stretching out her slender and beautiful hand, she picked up the water bag and took it a sip, and then poured all the remaining water on the horse to help it cool down further.
She turned around and spoke to Oda Shinna, saying, "Although those farmers have never seen Imakawa Yoshimoto, she should be the only one who has such suspicion for the precious clothing... Based on the reports sent back by other teams in the past few days and several contact battles, we should not go the wrong way."
Although he was talking about such "good news", Niba Nagahide was not much joy, and a hint of solemnity appeared in his eyes.
Because this means that the real battle will soon come, maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I will face the monster with unheard of power and speed as fast as lightning! As long as I think back on the situation that day, this intellectual and elegant beauty can't help but feel that she will shudder.
She has heard of rumors about Onmyoji, witches and other practitioners, and she also knows that although there are very few people in that category, some of them have mastered incomprehensible powers. The little girl-like ninja who came to help her and others a few days ago also mastered some ninjas that outsiders could not imagine.
There is also the witch girl in the Yamato court, such as the ones, which are also inseparable from mysticism.
However, after all, I have never witnessed it with my own eyes, and I have never heard of anyone who can simply use the power of the flesh to reach that terrible level - shouldn't a true practitioner master some techniques or spiritual realm? Why is it such a bloody hand-torn sect?!
It's still the kind of horror that every moment of the world is the air, and the violent flow of iron fist catches whoever is instantly!
However, Oda Shinna's eyes flashed with a surprising light. She looked at the surrounding hillsides that met the surrounding flat ground, as if she was carefully observing the foothills covered by the thick layer of loose sediment, and seemed to be distracted and pondering about something else.
About a minute later, the girl seemed to be muttering to herself, and seemed to be asking someone: "So have the other teams arrived at the scheduled location as scheduled? Is it possible for us to intercept her retreat before Imakawa Yoshimoto escaped back to Sanhe?"
However, besides Niba Nagahide, there are only Shibata Katsuya and Maeda Inuchi Chiyo, so although this question does not have a clear direction, as long as you are not a fool, you will definitely hear who she is confirming to.
Shibata Katsuya didn't say anything.
Maeda Chiyo looked at Niba Nagahide.
"This..." Niba Nagahide calculated quickly, and then said in an extremely serious tone: "They are very fast, but they don't know the specific route, so they are gradually catching up with us. According to the current situation, we should be able to form an encirclement when they just crossed the border of Sanhe-"
"I'm going to cross the border of Sanhe?" Ji Daming, who was tea-haired, frowned without any concealment. She was actually very clear about the current situation and when she could catch up with the target. The reason why this question was just to make herself more at ease to confirm the steps.
But it seems that Niba Nagahide's answer is quite wrong with the answer in her estimate.
Because she expected that she would be able to surround the other party just before returning to Sanhe.
"In fact, it was between Ohara and Mikawa's border, but it was just taken away not long ago and became a territory that was actually divided by the Imakawa family..." Ninoha Nagahide pointed out very calmly that the reason why Oda Shinna's subconscious error occurred.
In an instant, Oda Shinna showed a very complicated expression.
After a while of silence, she waved her hand decisively and issued an order: "Camp on site, the entire army will rest for two hours... march overnight tonight and continue to maintain the current speed."
Although the prediction was wrong, I felt that the situation that had been almost certain to be successful again, so I felt anxious. However, Nobuna Oda decisively did not blindly seek speed, but chose to continue to push and press forward step by step.
Niba Nagahide praised this very much, but she hesitated for a moment, and walked two steps closer to her lord. Although she was dusty, she was still elegant and calm. "Princess, although I think that only by doing this can we recover the disadvantage, but what we have to face next is... that ghost and god..."
Perhaps because she was afraid of affecting her current morale, she deliberately lowered her voice and said.
However, Oda Shinna retorted completely with no time to think: "I have made a decision, you don't have to say it again for thousands of generations. I will not underestimate that "person", but I will never be afraid because of his existence."
Her eyes were very fierce at this moment, as if the flames of willpower were burning in the middle.
"Even ghosts and gods cannot easily block my path - this is not the rainy day before, nor the narrow terrain. Continue to move forward, the Danwei Plain, with wide and flat terrain. As long as we are surrounded by our army and suppressed by muskets and crossbows, even ghosts and gods can only die on the spot!"
Niba Nagahide opened her mouth, and finally she could only sigh and re-express a confused and elegant smile.
She had no good idea. Before Imakawa Yoshimoto, the Oda family's difficulties were not overcome. She just reminded the part that might have problems due to her duty as a servant.
But when her lord had made a real decision, she could only do her best to help her home head and fulfill that requirement.
...
...
Time flies very quickly.
If you have books, you will be long, and if you don’t have books, you will be short.
In his escape these days, Mu Xiu deeply understood what learning means in practice. For example, even if he does not rely on electromagnetic ability to induce magnetic fields and does not have the ability to cheat like a compass, he can determine the direction through the changing positions and movement trajectories of the sun, moon, stars.
Even if he just takes a look at the position of the stars in the sky or the height of the sun, he can roughly judge the specific time period of the day.
Moreover, in the process of hunting various animals as food rations, he has now mastered some superficial methods of tracking the traces of prey, and therefore extended the primary technology of anti-tracking. In addition, as a modern person, the various strange and diverse information baptisms he received made him broad-minded his thinking and learn from one example.
Therefore, he has taken into consideration in many aspects, whether it is forgery or erasing traces, he has been doing more and more skillfully, causing the Oda army who is chasing him to complain.
After all, science and technology are the primary productive forces. Although this ability is not science, it is also considered technology. It is roughly estimated that it is still five hundred years ahead of the depth. It is believed that it can defeat the natives of the Warring States Period. If Oda Shinna and others had enough time, they would not be misled by him, but the current situation is that both sides are fighting for time.
As long as you make a mistake once, you must put in several times the energy afterwards to save the lost time.
Unconsciously, both sides had entered the final stage of sprint. Although there had not been a real meeting, both Mu Xiu and Oda Shinna made quite unanimous choices one after another.
At this moment, Mu Xiu, who watched the sun in the sky set in a small amount of time, subconsciously accelerated his pace. On the vast plain, he could only see a quick figure charging rapidly, almost dragging a ray of smoke and dust out from behind.
"The essence of seeing, hearing, color is actually the "power of listening", but it is not as simple as the literal meaning. You can understand it in a general way as a general term for perception, hearing, vision, intuition, etc. Lord, you have actually mastered the entry of this ability now. As long as you continue to exercise, you will continue to strengthen and improve..."
But he did not stop his teachings, and was still constantly telling his understanding of domineeringness and swordsmanship to the black straight girl in his arms.
Imakawa Yoshimoto didn't know whether he gave up on himself or was used to it, so he quietly asked him to hug him and listened carefully to the words fleeting in the whistling sound of the wind. She gritted her teeth and asked, "What about the armed color? What do you mean by this?"
"The requirements for this are relatively high, but strong belief, momentum, or firm heart can be used as the key... You must understand what you want to do, what you must believe in what you can do, and strong belief and momentum, or firm will, will transform into real power when you need it-"
Mu Xiu thought for a while, then quickly organized the language and spoke his experiences together.
But his words came to an abrupt end without warning, and even his behavior of running rapidly suddenly stopped. The feeling of the rapid movement stopped instantly, made the Lord of the Kingdom feel disgusted for no reason and dizzy, but then she heard the sound of the rushing river appearing in front of her.
"I feel that it looks familiar here..." Mu Xiu sighed softly, looked at the setting sun, and then carefully put the Lord of the Kingdom in his arms down.
Imakawa Yoshimoto stood firm again and quickly sorted out his clothes and his hair that was slightly messy by the wind. She frowned and looked around. Her little face was confused for less than two seconds, and then she turned into a sudden realization:
"This is the Noo Tai Plain. The battlefield before, our family's main formation is located here... After crossing the river, we continue to walk eastward. It is the territory of the Imakawa family. It is mine. No, this is already our territory. We seem to have left Ohara..."
Her tone suddenly became excited.
Mu Xiu touched his nose, and while urging the heat flow in his body to restore his vitality, he poured cold water on the head of the excited king: "Even if this is your territory, there are no actual soldiers guarding and patrolling, and the branch city has not been established. So what's the difference between it and still in the wild?"
The king pouted in dissatisfaction, looked at Mu Xiu, and then muttered in a low voice that he could only hear: "It's our territory, after all, you are still my retainer..."
Then she faced the reality and said seriously: "Then cross the river quickly! As long as you continue walking east, you will be able to reach Shangxiangcheng soon. Although it is just a small town in Sanhe, Weizhang definitely has no ability to go deeper there..."
"It's not that simple, and it's too late now-"
Mu Xiu interrupted the girl's suggestion lightly. He looked at the horizon in the distance and narrowed his eyes slightly: "I'm afraid I need to open a way."
