I am practicing in the Nianghua Warring States Period

That's true. If you can defeat the traitor, you win. If you can't defeat him... you'll be made into a pot roast. Don't you agree, Akechi Mitsuhide?

"Avi, prepare to go out!"

————————————————————————

The greatest legacy that Oda Nobuhide left to Oda Nobuhime should be the operating logic of the Oda family of the Tanjo clan. The grassroots military officers still recognized Oda Nobuhime as their banner and did not collapse immediately. This is already a rare team building.

Beidou Xinwei has been doing daily work for four months.

What did he do after training a poorly organized army of bandits?

You will get 10 daily training points every day, for a total of 118 days and 1180 points.

(Training Lv.05, (180/350))

Level 1 grants Recruitment, Level 2 grants March, Level 3 grants Turn Left, Turn Right, Turn Back; Level 4 grants Stand Still; Level 5 grants the skill [Dense Square Phalanx]

It just so happens that this is my first time playing a first-person perspective simulation real-time strategy game.

And war is indeed a mysterious thing. There are many wars without pictures. What do you mean by Kunba? For the war situation, please refer to the annotated pictures at the bottom of the book.

The lord of Inuyama Castle in the northernmost part of Owari, Oda Nobumasa was Nobuhime's brother-in-law; the Ise-no-kami was the head of the Oda family. Originally subservient to Oda Nobuhide, after Nobuhime became the head, he established his own territory within Inuyama Castle, establishing his own separatist power.

Oda Nobuyasu of Iwakura Castle was the shugo (representative guardian) of the upper four of the eight Owari counties. During the reign of Oda Nobuhide, he was known for his unwavering devotion to his father, but the two families maintained intermarriage and maintained a good personal relationship. However, a few years ago, both entered puberty, and their mutual dislike grew, leading to a gradual estrangement between the two families.

Oda Nobutomo of Kiyosu Castle was the shugo depute leader of four of the eight Owari counties. He was nominally Nobuhide's direct superior, holding a position equivalent to Emperor Xian of Han. Not only was he marginalized by Oda Nobuhide, but also by his closest subordinates, making him a rather unreputable political figurehead.

Oda Nobuharu of Odai Castle, Oda Nobuhime's uncle, clearly expressed his support for Oda Nobuhime. However, the main reason was that the north was full of enemies, and he needed the help of Oda Nobuhime, a close ally. Although she had value in uniting the front, her role as a teammate was negative.

Oda Nobumitsu, the guardian of the mountain castle, is currently wavering. He is the cousin of Oda Nobuhime. His current united front value is very high, but the higher the united front value, the higher the possibility of betrayal and the higher the price.

Yamaguchi Kyotsugu of Narumi Castle - needless to say, he rebelled.

Yamaguchi Kyotsugu built a fortress at Kasadera, Fujimi, in front of Narumi Castle, called Kasadera Castle. He invited the Imagawa clan's important general, Okabe Motonobu, to station a thousand men there. He himself led 500 men and stationed five miles east of Atsuta Shrine, building Nakamura Castle.

This battle was a 1:2 battle, with a minimum force ratio of 800 to 1500, and it was unclear whether reinforcements would arrive. If Oda Nobuhide were still alive, things would have been much easier. But now, with Oda Nobuhide's death, the Oda clan has been reduced to disarray. The Imagawa clan would feel guilty if they didn't send troops at this time. Yamaguchi Kyotsugu simply bought himself for a good price, and indeed it was.

"Ah... It seems that this time we can get rid of the four lower counties of the Oda family in one fell swoop before winter. If we are luckier, we may be able to get rid of more." Okabe Motonobu stroked his two small mustaches and was quite proud of himself.

There was a reason why Imagawa Yoshimoto, the head of the Imagawa family, sent him here with a thousand men as a vanguard. Firstly, the Imagawa family was fighting with the Takeda clan in the east and could not spare many men.

Secondly, it would be a shame to not take advantage of this Oda clan victory. Okabe Motonobu himself had participated in the Second Battle of Azuzaka, brutally defeating the then-still-breathing Oda Nobuhide. While most of this was a scheme by Taihara Yukisai, Okabe Motonobu certainly put in a lot of effort. This time, with the momentum from his victory at Azuzaka two years prior, he was perfectly poised to conquer the four Owari Kasumi counties.

"Hayi." Yamaguchi Kyotsugu felt a surge of panic as he watched the Imagawa clan methodically advance. He was less than forty years old and a trusted advisor to Oda Nobuhide. Otherwise, he wouldn't have given him the command of 500 soldiers stationed at Narumi Castle, a key southern Oda clan stronghold, to defend the Imagawa clan. However, nearly all of Nobuhide's trusted men had betrayed his orders. This man and Oda Nobuhime were truly the opposite of each other, their fates similar.

"But I have a little information. After the last battle, the Oda clan has been recuperating... Among them is a fierce general. I wonder if you've heard of him?" Yamaguchi Kyotsugu raised a finger. "He's over six feet tall and incredibly strong. Known as the young swordsman of Owari, it's said that no one can defeat him in a single match. Last year, he beheaded seven people, achieving his greatest victory. I heard that he was assassinated not long ago..."

"These are just minor incidents." Okabe Motonobu shrugged off such remarks and said, "I'm bringing 1000 troops with me, and reinforcements will follow. One powerful general can only play a small role on the battlefield, not to mention that the Oda clan is just a defeated force. Hahahaha..."

Chapter 30 System Mall (Part 2)

Okabe Motonobu looked at Yamaguchi Kyotsugu and thought to himself, "What are you so proud of, you traitor? If you Oda clan are so awesome, why don't you fly up to the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun? Blow it up! Blow up a balloon! Blow up a big balloon! Keep blowing it up!"

Yamaguchi Kyotsugu looked at the other man with a constipated expression, it was obvious that the other man looked down on him as well. However, since he was a traitor, there was nothing he could say, so he could only bow his head and remain humble.

He knew he wasn't bragging, and... the Japanese Warring States period was in its early stages. There weren't many daimyo, but a plethora of smaller daimyo. It was truly a situation where the village gates were gathering like cement. During the First Battle of Azusaka, when the Oda army was completely defeated, it was the Oda clan who stepped forward, seven foot soldiers armed with spears, and turned the tide of battle. It wasn't clear if they were strong or weak, but the pursuing Imagawa army was effectively scattered.

Yamaguchi Kyotsugu felt uncertain, a wave of nausea and chills running through him. He had never seen Hokuto Nobuyuki on the battlefield, but he had met him once when Oda Nobuhime returned from her first battle. He had made a deep impression on him. He was tall and good-looking, but most importantly, he had no idea how strong he was. Recent intel had him killing a dozen people in the street as Khorne and escaping unscathed (no, he was injured, but no one knew about it). Then, a man led Oda Nobuhime into the mourning hall (no, he was followed by three hundred people), and a single man frightened everyone in the hall to their knees, calling Oda Nobuhime "Dad."

Although he thought it might be a bit exaggerated, but... such people should be kept as far away from the battlefield as possible. And who knows if such a powerful general really exists?

The Japanese perspective on ranking powerful generals is somewhat flawed. Xiang Yu was quite strong. But the fact that Xiang Yu is ranked among the top four East Asian military commanders... well, it shows that the Japanese still have a strong belief in the individual strength of powerful generals. At least, that was the case during the early Warring States period (Azuchi-Momoyama period).

"Lord!"

A fast horse came running over and said to the few people who were still supervising, "The new head of the Oda family, Oda Nobuhime, leads an army of 800 and launches a surprise attack! We are still five miles away!"

"...?! Huh?!" Okabe Motonobu was stunned for a moment, then sneered. "Oda Nobuhide's brains aren't working, and his daughter is even more useless. She's a daimyo, but she looks useless, hahahaha. Come on, assemble the troops and march! Capture Oda Nobuhime alive! Watch me chop off Hokuto Nobuyoshi's head!"

Okabe Motonobu was an Imagawa military commander and had certainly heard of the story of Owari.

It is said that the Owari Oda clan may not be good at other things, but they all have handsome men and beautiful women.

Beidou Xinwei only has one system, but it has more than one or two skills. Sometimes he doesn't know what's going on with so many skills.

【Mall system...】

Doing daily tasks earns 200 Honor Points and 100 Conquest Points. 135 days have passed since the time I crossed over, and including the number of kills I have made, I have 29.

Beidou Xinwei opens the mall that appears in the first chapter. This time, I really need to buy things for a while.

[Warhorse 'Conqueror': 3500 Honor Points;

Tang Helmet (Lv.01) (Upgradeable) — 2200 Honor Points

Tang Ming Guang Armor Breastplate (Lv.01) (Upgradeable): 3500 Honor Points

Tang Mingguang's armor shoulder swallowed...】

[Gold and Silver Decorated Tang Dynasty Broadsword (Lv.01) (Upgradeable): Conquest Points: 4800...]

The maximum honor points I have are just over 30,000, which is not enough to buy a full set of equipment, let alone something like +13 stats. In the end, I can only mix and match my outfits and wait to upgrade them later. And the defense of this set of armor... well, it should be pretty strong.

Level 01, the body part defense is +8, below 8, it is impossible to penetrate the armor. So why is it +8 defense?

...Because the armor pieces are 0.8mm thick, they can be modified or enchanted later. If that doesn't work, you can get two layers of armor.

Of course, this is only secondary.

[Ding: Activate the military formation system (Lv.01) (0/100)

The number of people you can command at your current level: 100.

The number of people you can directly command at your current level: 100.

Two armies confront each other.

Oda Nobuhime set up her main camp at Sanou Mountain, facing the mountain from the west to the east.

Okabe Motonobu set up his main camp at Bohai Pond, facing the water with his back to the enemy, and marched from east to west.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Oda Nobuhime led her army down the mountain and out of the forest to fight. Okabe Motonobu faced Akatsuka, and when the two armies faced each other within a shot's reach, everyone finally saw clearly who was coming against them.

“……?! Who is this?!” Okabe Motonobu widened his eyes and looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief.

In Japan, there's a concept called "first spear," meaning the first person to engage the enemy is called the "first spear." Therefore, the first person to engage the enemy is generally a powerful family or retainer.

Okabe Motonobu watched from afar as a great general was riding on a tall horse he had never seen before. The horse was two meters long from head to tail, and eight feet five meters long from hoof to back. The horse had thin hooves, big bowl-shaped hooves, small ears, a big mouth, bamboo-shaped ears, and leopard eyes. The saddle and reins were distinctive, and a majestic bell hung around its neck.

Yet, this great general, atop such a towering steed, didn't appear insignificant, instead clad in a suit of armor that seemed melancholic. It was profoundly heavy, his armor gleaming like golden scales against the sun. Of course, this was terrifying enough—even more terrifying was the small group following him.

There were perhaps a hundred of them—a hundred in all—and they were as one. They advanced in unison, their weapons raised in unison, their spear tips held at the same height. Okabe Motonobu had never seen such a powerful army.

"This man must be Beidou Nobuo." Yamaguchi Kyotsugu, who was standing beside Okabe Motonobu, bowed and said, "Sir, your chance to kill him in battle has come!"

"…" Fuck, I killed a P? But what do you mean? Are you looking for trouble? Okabe Motonobu glanced at Yamaguchi Kyotsugu and said casually: "How can a general move lightly? - Lord Yamaguchi, please take the lead!"

“…” Shit! You’re afraid, and I’m afraid too!

"Hmm?" But the situation was stronger than the people. Although Okabe Motonobu was a guest soldier, he had the advantage in terms of manpower. Moreover, in terms of affiliation, Okabe Motonobu was a front-line member of the Imagawa clan, while Yamaguchi Kyotsugu was just a traitor who had recently surrendered.

Okabe Motonobu glared at Yamaguchi Kyotsugu - Are you not listening?

"Yes." Yamaguchi Kyotsugu obeyed the order reluctantly and walked down.

"Father." Yamaguchi Kyokichi, the tongue-twister son, looked at his father's sullen face. In fact, he was also terrified when he saw the slowly approaching enemy formation: "Look! Beidou Xinwei!"

"I see." Yamaguchi Kyotsugu looked constipated and said, "Tell your retainers to prepare. That guy is planning to use us as cannon fodder. Move the army to the left. If they lose their strength, retreat westward back to the city."

"Yes, father! --Father! The enemy, the enemy is coming!"

"Huh?! Why is this happening?! Stop them and lead the army to fight with all our might!"

The fighting was very fierce.

It was so intense.

[You can order this team to move quickly, but this will consume a lot of physical strength; infantry combat requires maintaining formation at all times. Now, please give the order to move this team slowly (0/1), good, well done (1/1).

Now, attack the enemy in front of you (0/1), OK, well done.

Now, you've inflicted casualties. You've killed the first enemy (1/1). This will boost morale for the entire army, especially the one you command. Now, you can use your battlefield skill: Tight Formation (1/1). Well, well done. This will reduce your team's mobility, but will significantly improve your unit's other combat capabilities. Now, your unit has suffered a loss (1/1), and too many losses will lower our morale. But now, please use your combat skill:

Shout (1/1), Good, well done. You can instantly boost your troops' attack power, defense, organization, and morale. It also helps stabilize the front.

[Please use the officer skill "Big Shout" (1/1) on the enemy. Please note that you do not have this skill. However, you can upgrade it with skill points.]

Good, well done. The enemy is seriously shaken (they are in a state of panic and ready to collapse; only a tactical genius can achieve victory); your forces are currently in (they have the upper hand, and feel safe with troops protecting their flanks; only an idiot would lose this battle)

Okabe Motonobu felt that he had learned the mysteries of war after spending half his lifetime studying them.

But he really couldn't understand why they were all ordinary soldiers wearing tattered clothes, or peasant soldiers to put it bluntly. Why were your soldiers so strong!

In front of him was an army of a hundred men, led by a commander who looked like a god, advancing forward like cutting melons and vegetables.

Why?! Shouldn't it be two armies facing off, with the lowly peasant army just providing atmosphere? They'd slack off, not putting in the work. Then, a compromise was reached, and the warriors began to slug it out until the opposing side had lost a dozen or twenty men, and the front began to crumble?

Why aren't you playing by the rules? Why are peasant soldiers fighting so hard? Are they still peasant soldiers if they fight so hard? How much a month do you earn for fighting so hard? Besides, don't you want heads? Kill the enemy and then step over their corpses to advance, so you can get a head and a military merit! Why are you so still, standing firm like a mountain?

Okabe Motonobu watched as the vanguard army, which had just engaged the enemy, began to melt and crumble like a winter glacier meeting the scorching summer sun, before collapsing into a stream of fleeing soldiers. Everyone cried out, "Oh my God!" "Spare my life!" "Run!"

The supervisory team behind seemed to be much better than the Shura Hell in front.

The horse-riding warrior in the front, named Hokuto Nobuyoshi, is even more ridiculous! Okabe Motonobu knows his riding skills well, and he's already considered one of the best in the family. But the Japanese cavalry is a joke. Most of them are just "dragoons." They ride to a place, then dismount and fight. This is because the height of the Japanese and the level of their horses are too low. They are not enough to support real cavalry combat. Most of the cavalry are from the samurai ruling class, and they are not likely to be sent up as filler. This means that Japan does not have the tactical soil for large-scale use of cavalry - except for the terrifying woman in Echigo.

Most Japanese samurai were incapable of fighting on horseback. Their horses weren't good enough, and their men weren't nearly as good. Okabe Motonobu considered himself skilled enough with the bow and horse to fight on horseback.

But the warrior before him was different. He was actually fighting on horseback, moving like the wind! He could kill several enemies with a single charge, and the impact of his horse's armor on the peasant soldier's bamboo spear could even break it!

Soon, under the mad advance and killing of hundreds of enemies, and the threat of "one" cavalryman stabbing them from behind, they were in trouble.

"The enemy general! - Yamaguchi Kyokichi! I have taken him!" A roar that could almost resound throughout the entire battlefield sounded like earth-shaking sound.

"Oh!——" Hundreds of people cheered and roared.

The line of 500 men was instantly shattered by 100 men. Some foot soldiers were swept away by the defeated army in front of them and fled without even making contact with the enemy.

----------------

"Lord!" A female warrior who had been standing next to Oda Nobuhime looked at the boss beside her excitedly.

"Die! (Awesome) - As expected of Avi!" In fact, Oda Nobuhime was also fighting a wolf with a thin stick at the beginning, and was afraid of both sides.

In his first battle, his side crushed the enemy, which did not reflect Beidou Xinwei's command ability.

Beidou Xinwei was a master in individual combat, needless to say; however, she was unsure of her command. In fact, she wanted to take the knife herself, but was held back by Beidou Xinwei.

This time there are 800 pairs, estimated to be at least 1,500 to 2,000 people. This difference of two or even three times the number is no joke.

Oda Nobuhime herself was trembling with fear, but she hadn't expected it. Commander Hokuto Nobuyoshi's peasant soldiers were like mortals, piercing the enemy's ranks like a sharp blade under his command. The battlefield was only two kilometers wide, but in an instant, the entire battlefield was severely shaken.

"All troops! Attack! Bring the horses!" Oda Nobuhime rose from the main camp, her entire body filled with excitement, as if she were holding Hokuto Nobumi's hand for the first time. A normal girl's adolescence is defined by being stabbed as a goal. But could Oda Nobuhime's adolescence be anything but ordinary?

She was the ruler of the violent machine of the cold weapon age! ——Personally mounting her warhorse and shouldering her spear, the young Oda samurai prepared to set out.
