Ono Seito Higashi Castle is located on the site of Hachiman Castle in Gujo, which was built later in history, and is built on a high mountain of Sekisui, so you can have a bird's-eye view of the Tohoku countries.

As an east-west artery, Ono, like the daimyo in history, built a castle here as a base camp for the expedition, and the rear army was also stationed here.

However, there seems to be something wrong with the Qi people's coalition army, and the Qi people obviously don't want to go west, but the vassal armies in the alliance have their own ideas.

The pursuit came a coalition of five or six thousand people, consisting of the Kwantung Imperial Commander Toyota Army, Shinano's "Yogo General" Taira Mori Shigeru Army, and Suruga's Fujiwara Hidego Army, which numbered about five or six thousand.

The Kwantung coalition army set up a camp at Jinshan Lake, thirty miles east of Jicui Mountain.

At the same time, what Ono didn't expect was that Fukada Dian, the wife of the Owari Kuniji Saitoshi, raised the banner of rebellion, and Mikawa Hao forced the Shigeru clan to expel the "national thief" Calm Hiroshi and raised troops in response.

It is said that Fukadaden sent mercenaries to help the Kamo clan expel Kunomamori, who was born in the Kyoto Hei family.

The Owari army marched north, and soon swept through the castle gates in the plain area of the Nobi Plain, where the southern part of Mino Province and Owari Province were located, and continued to advance northward, and the Gunjo Gate of Kitarokuri was already in a hurry.

Surrounded by mountains, as the largest peasant village in the county, the county can not only provide some daily necessities to the Ono Castle garrison, but also the throat of Ono Castle and the western passage.

……

Ono Castle Imperial Palace, Ono Yoshigu sat cross-legged, and the kneeling on both sides were the most important generals he commanded the Eastern Crusade.

His third son, Ono, and the eldest grandson of the family, Ono Guard, are all there.

And whether it's his third son or his eldest grandson, the name is not a far-fetched imaginary finger, Ono Right Gate and Ono Guard, were originally really the Right Guard Men and Guards of Kyoto Guard, but after the Guard Mansion gradually became a place of honor guards and performing arts, they were real warriors who had a hard time.

Ono is so ancient, almost with a full family of soldiers, and almost all the important generals under his command are his children and grandchildren, which is also a helpless thing.

However, it was reported from Kyoto that the Eastern Expeditionary Army had actually become the private army of the Ono family under the command of the Right Minister Minamoto Takaaki.

As a result, it seems that the words of the right minister, Minamoto Takaaki, in the palace to get more support for the Ono army, have become favoritism.

The Ono Army gradually fell into a situation of fighting alone.

It doesn't take much to trace the roots to imagine that the voice of Kyoto is becoming more and more unfavorable to the right minister and himself.

Ono is a good ancient, and it is also helpless to launch an offensive with a tired army before the Spring Festival.

But on the contrary, it was defeated.

Although, in the end, they gathered in Ono Castle, plus the rear army behind the palace as a way out, there were more than 20,000 soldiers, but the morale was extremely low, and many of them originally gathered from all directions, all of them were looking forward to the leader of the horse, and each had their own ideas.

On the battlefield, seeing the terrible rain of arrows in the Qi people's camp, the shock of the group charge, this kind of large-scale combat mode that takes a whole army as a whole, a strict military formation as a component, and the cooperation of various arms of the army, they have never seen it before, they simply feel that the other party has become a giant, and they and other individuals fight alone, just like ants swarming up to bite an elephant to death, but the other party stomps their feet, they don't know how many ants are trampled to death, even if the battlefield is originally superior in numbers, it can also be divided by the opponent's army formation after one operation, which becomes a scene where the local battlefield is always a scene where one's own individual is beaten by the opponent's group, and there is no chance of winning at all.

Most of the warrior regiments gathered from all over the world wanted to get ahead in this war and gain a piece of land outside the pass, but now, there is no hope at all.

Not to mention, I heard that the Qi people also had a 100-fold stronger Han battalion, and they defeated their clan battalion in the Kanto region, which made the Qi people's temple angry, and sent the Han pawn camp to come to the expedition, so the result was not even more terrible?

It is rumored that there is a big thunderbolt cannon in the Han Battalion, which can kill hundreds of people with one shot, which is like ghosts and gods helping each other.

What's more, even if they want to defeat the 20-battalion tribal army of the Qi people's eastern expedition, they have no chance of winning.

I also heard that these tribal battalions were gradually given the surname of the Central Plains because of their bravery, so that in the future, they could also be listed as Han pawn battalions, get various artifacts of Han pawn battalions, and there was no need for pure Han pawn battalions to help in the war, so Japan had no hope of winning at all.

Of course, I heard that the Qi people do not distinguish between Han soldiers and tribal soldiers, the so-called Han soldier camp, officially called the forbidden army, but the people of the Central Plains, sometimes commonly known as the forbidden army as the Han soldier camp, and in fact, in the border camp of the forbidden army, there are already many tribes brave and strong, and they have also merged into the ranks of the same clan recognized by the people of the Central Plains.

Ono is so ancient, I have heard some of these rumors, and I know that the brave people of the countries under his command now have a lot of plans.

Seeing that Ono Castle was about to be closed, the letter to Kyoto was not heard back for a long time.

is to gather the generals, Ono Haogu didn't have any plans in his heart for a while, he could only sigh in his heart, perhaps, he was really old.

"I think it's okay, just fight with them in a big and bright fight, they don't have people to help, and the number of people is not as large as ours, I don't believe we will lose!" Ono broke the silence and waved his fists, but he was a little nervous.

Looking at this brave and fearless eldest grandson, Ono Haogu sighed in his heart, and let the eldest grandson stay in the rear, that is, he felt that fighting with the Qi people, personal martial arts, it didn't seem to be of much use, and he was even more worried that because he had not fought with the Qi people, he would not notice it a little, and the eldest grandson would fall into the enemy formation.

But obviously, it may not be a good thing, the eldest grandson has not seen the terrible combat methods of the Qi people, and may still think that his grandfather has lost his past magical powers, so he lost to the Qi people.

"Yes, what the guards said makes sense, no matter what, the county gate, we have to rescue." Ono's right door chimed in.

At this moment, a panicked voice came from outside, "Tosa, Tosa people went down the mountain without permission, and they were all gone!" The grille door opened, and a soldier with several flags on his back knelt outside in panic, shouting in a panic.

Ono Haogu bowed slightly, "Got it!" His face was impassive, but he knew in his heart that the bravery of Tosa Province was just the beginning, and soon, there would be more and more deserters.

Without hesitation, he said to Ono's right door: "Okay, you lead the army, go to support the gunjo gate, and you have to fight a beautiful victory and defeat the Owari rebellion." ”

There is a sentence in my heart that I didn't say, only by defeating the Owari army can we stabilize the morale of the army and curb the tide of deserters that will spread throughout the army at the sight of it.

"Yes!" Ono bowed to the right door.

Ono Haogu took a deep look at him, this third son, who has always been very calm, is still very reassuring.
