Soon after Burnout dragged the captured Asai samurai into the bushes with Mingshan, there was a whimpering cry begging for mercy from the bushes, and after a while, Burnku walked out of the bushes with a half-stack of paper in his hand, and Burnku threw the empty bamboo tube around his waist to his subordinates, bowed his head and said to Oda Nobutada: "Young master, he has already confessed, they are ordered to hunt down Asai Gui's subordinates who escaped, and the person who escaped overheard important secrets. ”

After listening to the report of the burning sky, Oda Nobutada asked the burning sky, "That samurai is okay now!" After hearing this, Burning Sky raised his head and said to Oda Nobutada: "Young master, don't worry, I just punished him a little, and he has no worries about his life." Then Meizan dragged the Asai samurai out of the bushes like hauling something.

The surrounding Oda samurai looked at the samurai, only to see that the samurai's face was wet, and he was breathing in the air, and when he looked closer, he found that the samurai's eyes were bloodshot, as if he had drowned. At this time, everyone is very curious, how can the burning of the sky look like drowning if it is just holding a bamboo tube of water, and how to make the person who has just returned the mouth honestly in a short period of time?

Oda Nobutada took his eyes off the half-immortal samurai and said to the burning sky, "Mingshamen, what do you think of this person?" ”

After hearing this, Burning Sky bowed his head and said to Oda Nobutada: "It's all up to the young master!" ”

Oda Nobutada set his eyes on the Asai samurai again, and after a short pause, Oda Nobutada said to the burning air: "Because of a little torture, and confessing the task of the master's family, I have lost the morality of a samurai, Mingshamon, you can kill him here!" ”

After listening to Oda Nobutada's words, Burning Sky said to Mingshan on the side: "Mingshan, you go and remove the carcass pill from him, this carcass pill will be yours in the future!" Mingshan suddenly became excited after hearing this, but then looked at Oda Nobutada on the horse and Shibata Katsumasa on the side, and saw that the two did not say anything against it, Shibata Katsumasa even nodded to Mingshan, so Mingshan easily unloaded the carcass of the Asai samurai and put it aside, and helped the Asai samurai up from the ground.

When Mingshan picked up the delirious Asai samurai, the samurai suddenly shouted at the burning sky: "Kill me, tell the mission of the master's family, you have lost the morality of the samurai, and you should be thanked with death..."

Incineration.

And Mingshan, who was standing on the side, was also burned into the air by this sudden beheading, and was frightened in place. At this time, Burning Sky stepped forward to wipe the blood stains on Mingshan's face with a monk's robe, and said to Mingshan: "Come and I'll help put on the carcass, and then we will continue to set off in the direction of Xiaogu City!" After that, the burning sky put on the carcass that Mingshan had just unloaded again, and tied the sword of the Asai samurai to Mingshan.

After that, Shibata Katsumasa hung the head of the Asai samurai on the saddle under his crotch, and said to Tokii Katsu: "I already have a first-class military merit, you have to come on!" After hearing this, Dokii Katsu said with a smile: "Then after the war, see who is more powerful, and see who has more heads!" ”

After asking about the Burning Void, Oda Nobutada set out on the road again and headed for Kotani Castle. Along the way, there were no more important incidents, and although there was a fortress built by the Asai family, it was quickly broken under the iron cannon attack of Oda Nobutada. Under the orders of Oda Nobutada, the people set fire to these barrages that blocked the way, and indirectly broke the Asai family's control over these areas.

As for the samurai and ashigaru who guarded the bar, all those who surrendered were incorporated into the ranks of Oda Nobutada, and those samurai who would rather die than give in, Oda Nobutada also complied with their wishes and let them cut their stomachs on the spot, and as for those who did not surrender, Ashigaru became the military exploits of Burning Sky and others.

After clearing three or four barrages, everyone could already see Xiaogu City in the distance on the road. Oda Nobutada looked at Kotani Castle in the distance and said to Burning Sky and the others, "Let's go ahead and investigate under Otani Castle." With that, the horses rushed towards Xiaogu City, and when the people saw this, they hurriedly chased after them with standing preparations.

Perhaps it was because of Asai Nagamasa's order, after which the bars on the road were empty, and for the sake of safety, it was suggested that Oda Nobutada set these bars on fire, so as to prevent the family from being used by the Asai family to block the house when it was unfavorable to evacuate during wartime. Oda Nobutada immediately agreed to the suggestion and continued to burn them.

As Kotani Castle got closer and closer to Oda Nobutada's party, Oda Nobutada gave the order to stop advancing. And at this moment, Oda Nobutada saw the Asakura Sanmori papaya-patterned banner fluttering in the middle of Otani Castle. Oda Nobutada was startled at first, and then said to the burning sky: "It seems that the reinforcements of the Asakura family have arrived!" Now it's tricky! ”

After hearing this, Burning Sky looked at the Sansheng papaya-patterned banner fluttering in the wind and the Sansheng tortoiseshell-patterned banner of the Asai family, and said cautiously: "Young master, I thought this was a delaying tactic, if the reinforcements of the Asakura family arrived, why can't I wait for them to erect the Sansheng papaya pattern?" To tell the truth, if they take advantage of the favorable terrain to ambush around, lure the family to attack the city, and then suddenly kill, wouldn't it be better to catch the family off guard, and now the main flag of the family crest of the Asakura family is played openly, with the strategy of 'Omi Eagle', and some indirect to it, I thought that there would be no large number of Asakura reinforcements in the city at this time, and even if there were, there should only be hundreds of people. ”

After Burning Sky finished his explanation, he looked up at Oda Nobutada on horseback, and after seeing Oda Nobutuda hesitating for a few breaths, he suddenly laughed and said: "Mingshamen, it's really my Xun Yuye!" After that, Oda Nobutada said to his subordinates: "In today's plan, the family should not act rashly, and the Asai army will not attack the family, so I will once again build some camps in cage castle for my father in advance." ”

Later, Oda Nobutada sent his attendants back to Yokoyama Castle to report, and ordered the former Asai samurai and Ashigaru who had surrendered to go to the wood-cutting and building houses under the supervision of Shibata Katsumasa and others. Oda Nobutada himself took Burning Sky and others to observe the structure of Otani Castle from a distance, looking for Otani Castle's weaknesses and contributing to the subsequent Cage Castle War. Oda Nobutada then sent the Burning Sky to reconnoiter the terrain around Otani Castle, and after the Burning Sky received the order, he took off the flag finger on his body, and handed over the commonly used naginata knife to Ming Yama for safekeeping, and walked to the left side of Otani Castle alone.

Lightly armed with the sky, he sensitively dodged the ashigaru planted by Asai under Otani Castle, and successfully touched the foothills under Otani Castle. However, due to the strict defense of the Asai samurai and ashigaru in Otani Castle, the information about Otani Castle on the mountain could not be detected, and the townspeople under Otani Castle were also transferred early, so Sakaku's exploration only failed.

At this time, Oda Nobunaga in Yokoyama Castle had already organized the army of more than 8,000 people and marched towards Kotani Castle, the home city of the "Omi Eagle".
