"Shinsuke Yoshida was taken by my tie Hideyi!"

By the time this voice came out, the tone of the battle had already been set. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 The hexagonal army, which was scattered and supported by qi and blood, collapsed almost instantly. Just as the remaining soldiers were about to flee into the castle, Toda Tadaji, Natsume Yoshinobu, and the Mikawa people led by the Ina Tadashi family quietly blocked in front of them. In desperation, a few people fought back against the Oda clan with suicidal attacks, but they could no longer change the situation.

Fan Xiu stabbed down a soldier who rushed to him with a spear, and he lost interest in fighting, but just ordered the left and right to try their best to win the battle. Honda Masashige, Iega Baigo, and Tokuyama Norihide, a few samurai who had never seen a big battle, were very excited, and they took the lead in rushing into the enemy formation, each of which won several first ranks, and even Kawada Nagakin and Asano Nagayoshi ran to the front to grab the credit. And Kato Kyoaki, who is more calm by nature, has been staying near Tsuyohide, until he received the order, he led two rows of ashigaru forward to kill. As for the Iihime samurai, naturally he is more meritorious than the escort.

After destroying the army outside the castle, Niwa Nagahide, who had been resting for a long time, was once again put on the front line of the siege, while Sakuma Nobumori, due to his injuries, temporarily led his subordinates by his son and followed as a reserve. At this time, the Takigawa Department, which was attacking from behind, belatedly appeared, in the north of the city. Eventually, Niwa Nagahide led his army into Honmaru, while the defender of the castle fled from Mamoru Yoshida Izumo.

After the battle, the enemy lost 1,100 casualties, and Oda also lost more than 400 men.

At noon, the direction that was originally only responsible for containment also came with good news. Originally, it was impossible to capture Wadayama Castle, which was defended by 6,000 men, with only the strength of Mino and the 5,000-strong men, but Inaba Kachitetsu, who was in charge of the command, first spread the news of the fall of Misaku Castle, and then borrowed many banners from Asai, Tokugawa, and Oda Honjin, and ordered people to wave and shout around the castle at the same time, creating a message that tens of thousands of people had gathered here. The lord of the city, Tanaka Jibu, retreated in fear, and Inaba and other troops entered the city without blood.

At the same time, Shibata and others, who broke into the center of the three cities, intercepted along the road, dispersed these routs, annihilated 500 enemies, and most of the rest scattered into the countryside.

When the battle report from the two sides was returned, Nobunaga praised Inaba Kazutetsu's wit, but stared at Shibata's letter with a frown, displeased and angry: "This Gonroku is really a mouse-eyed!"

Hinode was able to guess what he was thinking.

At this time, those who were willing to stand on the side of Kannonji Castle were all Rokkaku's sworn friends or staunch anti-Oda elements, and in Nobunaga's opinion, they should be driven into Kannonji Castle and then wiped out in one fell swoop to prevent future troubles. Shibata only noted the military timing, but did not take into account the political trade-offs. After these people are scattered all over the place, it must be time-consuming and laborious to find them out one by one.

Immediately, Niwa Nagahide stepped forward and persuaded: "Your Highness! With all due respect, I thought Shibata-sama had done a good job. ”

"Huh?" Although Nobunaga was annoyed, he didn't lose his composure, and just shouted lightly: "Explain! ”

"Yes." Niwa bowed and said, "In addition to the Rokkaku family, the enemies of the main family are the Miyoshi family, which occupies Kyoto. If it takes a lot of time here in Guanyin Temple City, I am afraid that it will be difficult to defeat Sanhao at that time. On the other hand, if you beat the Rokkaku in the short term, Miyoshi will shake it......"

After repeating the elaboration for a long time, Nobunaga's face softened slightly.

At this time, Hirate also added, "I think what Niwa-sama said is good. Rokkaku Yoshixian is a wise man, and he will definitely find a way to preserve his strength, and he will not easily lose the last bit of revival capital, and it may be ...... to defeat the Rokkaku family in one fell swoop."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Takigawa Kazuki rushing into the military tent in a hurry.

"Your Highness! The entire Hexagonal Army retreated to the area around Koga, and Kannonji Temple had become an empty city. ”

Oda Nobunaga and Niwa Nagahide's eyes instantly focused on Hite. The latter lowered his body, his face unchanged.

After a while, Nobunaga moved away from his target and began to give orders.

"Gorouzo (Niwa), arrange for the army to enter the city."

"Yes."

"Yoshibei (Murai Sadakatsu), go and meet Ashikaga Left Horsehead."

"Yes."

"Kusuke (Takigawa Kazuki), issue an edict to the Southern Omi wealthy clan and ask them to send hostages."

"Yes."

"Zhizuo (tied), pass on my orders, prohibit indiscriminate hunting and human hunting in the mountain city country, and those who violate the prohibition will be punished heavily!"

"Yes."

Within a day, the prestige of the Owari Oda clan suddenly spread throughout Kinai. Led by Rokkaku-juku old Gamo, Shinto, Goto, and Hirai, most of the Minami-Omi forces were involved. Although there are also powerful people such as Sanyun and Yamaoka who have turned into the dark and continue to support Rokkaku Yoshixian, these "little mice" don't seem to be worrying about it at present. Oda Nobunaga then ordered Shibata and others to continue to attack the Miyoshi forces entrenched in to the west, and the main camp stayed at Kannonji Castle to wait for Ashikaga Yoshiaki.

At the same time, Asai Nagamasa and Asakura captured the rest of Rokkaku on the western shore of Lake Biwa, and Tokugawa Ieyasu also led people to win over a few reasonable figures, but their momentum was insignificant compared to the Oda family.

………………

Heite Honhide appointed Kawada Naga himself as the deputy general to settle the soldiers, and he himself took a few retinues and walked to the town under the castle of Kannonji Temple in simple clothes.

Regardless of the system, businessmen are always the group that will not hesitate to risk their lives for the sake of profit. The battle had just ended, and order had already been restored to the town, and the earthen warehouses and sake breweries had reopened their doors. More than ten years ago, the then lord of the city implemented the policy of "Le Shi", and the business was quite developed.

"After all, it is a key point that connects the east and west, and it is much more prosperous than Atsuta and Tsushima in Owari." Fan Xiu praised it casually.

"Your Highness, this is not a place where martial arts are prosperous, the Hexagonal Clan lives here, and there are more disasters than blessings." Yumitsu Numata replied.

"Oh, Uenosuke, as a samurai, when did you switch to studying this?" Fan Xiuqi said.

"In recent years, in addition to the art of war, I have been focusing on astronomy, Yili, and the way of yin and yang."

That's right......

Fan Xiu bowed his head slightly, not committal. From my own experience, these mysticisms may not be entirely implausible, but it is impossible to use them as a standard of action and judgment. However, a retainer who knows these things well can explain many things that were not explained in the first place.

"Don't proclaim it before men." In the end, Honshu instructed, "The people of the Oda family don't like these things. ”

"Yes."

Yumitsu Numata didn't show any frustration. Because the implication of the flat is that although these talents are not suitable for use at the moment, they can be used.

"Uenosuke, let's talk about the situation of the Kinai samurai. How has Miyoshi been in recent years? Since the death of the repair doctor (Miyoshi Changqing), the Miyoshi family seems to have changed from prosperity to decline. ”

"Yes. Miyoshi and the three of them are fighting with Matsunaga Danmasa (Hisahide). ”

"The trio concentrated many forces such as Settsu Ikeda and Yamato Tsutsui, while Matsunaga's side only recruited Miyoshi's old enemy, the Kawachi Tayama family, as an ally, but the Tayama family had already been overturned by his retainer Yusa."

Masanobu Honda, who was standing on the sidelines, also added information in time to show what he had done in recent days.

Fan Xiu then went down and asked, "What is the specific battle situation?" ”

"Returning to Your Highness. Although Matsunaga was defeated all the way, he launched a surprise attack at Todaiji Temple, forced the coalition forces back, and retained the strength of Yamato Bankoku. However, in this battle, the thousand-year-old temple Todaiji Temple was burned down, and Tsutsui, who was close to Buddhism, took the opportunity to put the blame on Matsunaga and put the crime of being an enemy of Buddhism. ”

"It seems that this 'evil bomb' is quite embarrassed at the moment."

"Yes, but ......"

"How?"

"The nominal current governor of the Miyoshi family, Miyoshi Yoshitsugu threw himself on Matsunaga's side, and in turn fought against the trio. Therefore, I thought that Matsunaga Danmasa was certainly an ambitious person, and the three of Miyoshi were not necessarily loyal ministers. In addition, it is too early to say that the three good righteous successors are the masters of darkness. ”

While Honda Masanobu was talking, Numata Yumitsu was standing quietly to the side, and he didn't seem to have the intention of competing for the limelight. However, Fan Xiu didn't let him be quiet for too long.

"In addition to these two, are there any outstanding martial artists in Kinai?"

"The Tayama family has a family background, and Yusa's religion is far from the wisdom of his father, and Tsutsui relies on monks and soldiers to establish himself with the countrymen...... Katsumasa Ikeda is a man of great courage and military skills, and may be a difficult person to deal with. ”

Katsumasa Ikeda?

It's a name I've never heard much before. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) )
