Chapter 53: The Pouring Projectile

After that, Oda Nobutada, Sakaku and others were helped back to the bamboo hut by Oda Nobutada's close attendants, and the physicians who came with the army were soon ordered by Oda Nobunaga to come to the resting place of Oda Nobutada and others to apply the medicine to Oda Nobutada and others. After the doctor finished applying the potion, he bowed his head to Oda Nobutada and said, "Your Royal Highness the young master, retire first, and if you feel unwell, you can send someone to call me." ”

Oda Nobutada, Sakaku, and the others thanked the doctor, and the doctor bowed his head in flattery and left the bamboo hut where everyone was. At this time, Oda Nobunaga's horse back also went to the bamboo shed and conveyed Oda Nobunaga's orders to Oda Nobutada. Since Oda Nobutada had completed the task of the vanguard, those elite Kiyoshu Ashigaru were transferred by Oda Nobunaga, and the former Asai family samurai and ashigaru who returned to obedience were still under the command of Oda Nobutada.

Soon after, he heard that Kinoshita Hideyoshi, with a thousand Asai peasant soldiers who had been captured earlier, had taken over the stone that had been burned by Oda Nobutada when he opened the road, and re-established the new wall of the Oda family on the old site, thus ensuring the Oda family's control over the roads and villages along the way.

After getting the news, Oda Nobutada was very excited, and said to the burning sky and the others: "Kinoshita Hideyoshi did a good job, even if he can't attack the Asai family in one go, it will make the Asai family a canoe in the sea, and it is only a matter of time before it is destroyed!" ”

After hearing this, Shibata Katsumasa and the others also forgot about the previous pain, and said excitedly to Oda Nobutada: "Young master, this way the family can control this Omi, and temporarily relieve the pressure in the north. After saying that, Shibata Katsumasa also got up and looked south and said, "I don't know if the Tokugawa family can stop the attack of the 'Koshu Tiger', but I hope Tokugawa-sama can survive." ”

After listening to Shibata Katsumasa's words, Burning Sky suddenly got up from the ground and asked Shibata Katsumasa, "Has Takeda Shingen already sent troops?" ”

After Shibata Katsumasa heard this, he immediately pressed the burning air, glanced at the curious Oda Nobutada again, and said to Oda Nobutada and the burning sky: "I heard that when my father communicated with Lord Sasa, he said: 'Recently, the Takeda family has been restless again, and some troops in the territory have gathered to Higashi Mino, but I am afraid that this will make the situation worse for the family!'" I thought that the area around Mino and Shinano was mountainous, and the Takeda family was still interested in attacking, and the Tokaido was evenly distributed, so how could the Takeda family let go of this opportunity? ”

After listening to Shibata Katsumasa's words, he was shocked by the person in front of him, but he didn't expect Shibata Katsumasa to seem brave and resourceful, and he actually had such a big picture. At this time, Oda Nobutada laughed and said: "Sanzaemon, you and I have known each other for nearly ten years, I didn't know you had such a resource!" You're listening to Cheng Zheng, right? ”

At this time, Shibata Katsumasa scratched his head with a smile and said, "It's really Sasa-sama who said it, I'm just relaying Sasa-sama's words." ”

Hearing this, everyone laughed, and Burning Sky also smiled and said, "I thought that Sanzaemon had its own high theory, but I didn't expect it to be stealing the words of Lord Sasa." The crowd laughed again.

After the Oda army arrived at Otani Castle one after another, it was dusk that burned half of the sky. Since Oda Nobutada did not receive the task from Oda Nobunaga, he began to rest early. After arranging a few standing guards on duty, Burning Sky and the others also returned to the bamboo shed and began to rest.

The Asai family didn't make a sound that night, and they didn't even have a plan to attack when the Oda family was not on a firm footing, which made the burning sky who woke up at midnight to check the situation a little puzzled. The night was so quiet that the sky was a little oppressive until dawn.

Not long after dawn, Oda Nobutada was summoned by Oda Nobunaga to the main camp to participate in the plan, while Burning Sky and others stayed in the camp to interrogate and examine the samurai of the Asai family and Ashigaru who surrendered. It's not like you can surrender if you surrender first.,Anything that makes people feel abnormal.,Will be taken out for Burning Sky and others to review in detail.,After confirming no doubt.,Only then can you continue to be incorporated into the team.,If anyone has bad intentions.,According to Oda Nobunaga's orders.,You can kill first and then report.。

Just as the Burning Sky and the others were reorganizing those surrendered troops, suddenly gunshots rang out from Kotani City, and then countless iron cannons roared from outside Kotani City. At this time, he ran out of Oda Nobunaga's main camp and rode back, shouting at the restless samurai and ashigaru in the camp: "The main family has begun to attack Otani Castle, and each team is ready!" After hearing Mahui's words, the samurai and ashigaru in the Oda camp suddenly became excited, and the battle began again, and the gambling with their lives and future was exciting.

After a while, Oda Nobutada also returned, because Oda Nobutada's team only had a few iron cannons, so Oda Nobutada was ordered by Oda Nobunaga to guard the periphery of the main camp and wait for dispatch at any time. The roar of iron cannons and the howling of samurai and ashigaru were constantly heard from under Kotani Castle, and the war machines of the Oda family were functioning normally in the silence of the early morning.

Oda Nobutada led more than 300 of his men to the periphery of Oda Nobunaga's main camp, facing the direction of Kotani Castle. Subsequently, several times the number of troops surrounding Oda Nobutada, surrounded Oda Nobutada. Only then did he think that in Oda Nobutada's team, in addition to more than 100 old subordinates such as himself, the newly reorganized troops were all Asai troops recovered on the road. It is not so much that Oda Nobunaga is ordering his son to guard him, but that Oda Nobunaga is helping his son to return these troops to submission faster, giving up some ideas in his heart, and at the same time ensuring his son's safety and status.

The war machines of the Oda and Asai families were running at a rapid pace, and gradually some of the seriously wounded samurai were brought back from the front lines of the war, and the samurai were shouting about killing the enemy while trying to get up and continue the fight. If it weren't for the blood flowing everywhere under them, with their current appearance and spirit, they would definitely make people feel alive.

Burning Sky looked through the crowd and looked at the samurai who were still shouting, and inadvertently noticed tears flashing in the corners of their eyes. It was only then that Burning Sky realized that their consciousness and so-called samurai face did not allow them to unload what they had been carrying for decades towards the end of their lives. If they scream on their deathbed, begging the physician to save them, they may be left with a stigma that will not be removed for generations.

Burning Sky watched as those samurai preserved the last glory of their lives, and finally returned to dust under the hands of the doctor, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart. However, the roar of iron cannons rang out again under Kotani Castle, and some of the samurai and ashigaru on the castle walls were hit and fell from the castle walls. Immediately, a roar of iron cannons sounded on the castle, and the Oda family ashigaru, who was stepping up the reloading of the projectiles under the castle, was hit by the falling projectiles and fell to the land of Kita-Omi, far from home, and the tongs in their hands were still squeezing the projectiles downward, but they could not fire the next shot.

Burning Sky looked a little numbly at the battle formation that fell in the distance and was immediately filled by the next wave of people, and now he was a little glad that he was working under Oda Nobutada. With the sacrifice of groups of samurai and ashigaru, the Oda family was already able to approach the main gate of Mimaru in Kotani Castle. However, the walls of Otai Castle were once again filled with samurai and ashigaru, and they fired scorching projectiles and cold arrows at the Oda army, which was slowly advancing below the castle.
