Burning Sky followed at the end of Kinoshita Hideyoshi's team with his subordinates Iron Cannon Ashigaru and Gun Ashigaru, which was not intentionally arranged by Kinoshita Hideyoshi, but Burning Sky took the initiative to propose. Originally, the incineration was mostly iron artillery, and if it was attacked by the Asai family, it would not be able to react in the first place, and if it was at the rear of the line, it could suppress the enemy and support the friendly forces in the front when the enemy attacked.

However, being at the end of the march will also be detrimental to the Burning Sky itself, and if the enemy forces surprise from behind, the Burning Void's iron cannon Ashigaru will be in a bitter battle. But choose one of the two, Incinerate still chose the former, after all, Incineration is now these teams, although I don't know what Oda Nobunaga is doing when he is released, but his own team still has to be cultivated, otherwise he can only look at the faces of others and act.

Kinoshita Hideyoshi joined up with most of his allies who had come to support him, and then headed for Nagahama Castle. The army of 2,200 people was mighty and could even be said to have swaggered into the territory of the Asai family, and Kinoshita Hideyoshi also methodically passed on the information that he was going to attack Nagahama Castle to the samurai of the Asai family through the retainers of the Asai family who had been bought, and it was difficult to distinguish between the true and the false.

Sure enough, two days after the Oda family's army entered the Asai Domain, Asai Nagamasa asked for help from the Asakura family, while gathering the Aochi Ashigaru and peasant soldiers in the territory, and rushed towards the Oda army that had already approached Nagahama Castle.

Asai Nagamasa knew that if he didn't defeat the invading Oda army, when Nagahama Castle fell, his home city Kotani Castle would open its door, and the Oda family could go straight to Kotani Castle, and retreat could hold Nagahama Castle and lock the passage of the Asai family to the south.

Although Asai Nagamasa knew that Nagahama Castle was also a well-known fortified castle in Omi, but in the face of the Oda family's strategy of cutting off water or setting fire to food, Asai Nagamasa was really worried about the safety of Nagahama Castle, and this time the general of the Oda family, Kinoshita Hideyoshi, was a few difficult opponents, not to mention his Mino Chi general Takenaka Hanbei Shigeji, according to the ninja report, even Oda Nobunaga's horse back to the pen head Kawajiri Hidetaka also led a hundred horsemen out of battle.

Let's say that on the side of the Oda army, the burning sky has been under Nagahama Castle for two days, and every day for the past two days has to pretend to attack the city and confuse the defenders of the long hama city, which makes the burning sky feel extremely boring, after all, this kind of thing can be handed over to the peasant soldiers, and the samurai and ashigaru still have to maintain their state, facing the military situation that Asai Nagamasa came to support.

Burning Sky, who was correcting the posture of the iron cannon ashigaru in the camp, suddenly received a notice from Kinoshita Hideyoshi, and the army retreated in an orderly manner towards the designated decisive battle site. After hearing this, Burning Sky immediately gathered his subordinates and handed over the gun to Fushiwa Akijiro to command. In the distance, Nagahama Castle saw the noise in the Oda military camp, thinking that the Oda army was raided by Asai Nagamasa, who came to support, so he immediately opened the castle and went out of battle, wanting to join forces with Asai Nagamasa to attack Oda's army.

However, the half-guards of Takenaka had long expected that they would personally lead an iron artillery team of 200 people to block the pursuing Nagahama Castle army in the camp. The evacuated Burning Sky listened to the sound of iron cannons in the direction of the camp, and said to Fushiwa Akijiro: "Soldiers are not tired of cheating, and Akijiro must understand this well!" After everyone arrived at the intended ambush site, Kinoshita Hideyoshi transferred the fifty people who had been burned to his side.

Kinoshita Hideyoshi looked at the burning sky holding the naginata and looked into the distance and said: "Mingshamen, don't worry, with the ability of a half-soldier, no matter how smart the fish is, it will bite the hook!" Kawajiri Hidetaka on the side also smiled after hearing this: "After all, he is known as the 'No. 1 Wise General of Mino', Mingshamen don't underestimate the half-guard, he was the person who the lord wanted to be under his command at the beginning!" ”

Burning Sky smiled and bowed to the two of them, continuing to look at the dust flying in the north. And from time to time there was the sound of fragmentary iron cannons in the north, the sound of iron cannons became more and more sparse, and the smoke and dust in the north were getting bigger and bigger, and the burning sky secretly glanced at Kinoshita Hideyoshi in front of him, and saw the beads of sweat on Kinoshita Hideyoshi's black and yellow neck.

Kinoshita Hideyoshi seemed to feel the gaze of the burning sky, turned around and said to the burning sky with a smile: "Don't be nervous about Mingshamen, the half-guards will definitely lead the Asai army to the place where our army is ambushed." With that, Kinoshita Hideyoshi wiped a handful of sweat from his neck and said to Kawajiri Hidetaka, "Lord Kawajiri, please take the horse team to pick up the half-guards!" ”

Kawajiri Hidetaka nodded after hearing this, and rushed out of Kinoshita Hideyoshi's main camp with a cavalry team of 100 people, heading towards the north. Kinoshita Hideyoshi looked at Hidetaka Kawajiri who was heading north, and whispered to the burning sky: "Mingshamen, after this battle, I think the lord will... Forget it, what am I talking about! Mingshamen, this battle will definitely contribute to the family! ”

Burning Sky looked at Kinoshita Hideyoshi, who wanted to stop talking, and was about to thank Kinoshita Hideyoshi for his kindness, when he heard a dense sound of iron cannons not far away. Then the Takenaka half-guards ran into the expected battle position with the red-faced Ashigaru. As soon as everyone reacted, Kawajiri Hidetaka led the horse team into the current area of the burning sky, and Kawajiri Hidetaka on the horse commanded the horse team to evacuate towards the ambush site, gesturing to Kinoshita Hideyoshi.

At the same time that Hidetaka Kawajiri entered the ambush site, the overwhelming Asai army appeared in front of the Oda army. While the Asai army struggled to chase after the horse team that was chasing Kawajiri Hidetaka, he shouted in his mouth: "Demon King Oda Nobunaga is going to kill all of us who resist, everyone fight with the Demon King!" There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south! ”

Kinoshita Hideyoshi looked at the hordes of asai peasant soldiers with poor armor or even no armor, and for a while he didn't know whether to wait for Asai Nagamasa to appear before attacking. Just when Kinoshita Hideyoshi hesitated, the iron artillery team of the Takenaka Hanbei had already begun to attack, Kinoshita Hideyoshi saw this, waved the military equipment in his hand, and the surrounding Oda family troops who had been ambushed early suddenly launched an attack on the Asai army that entered the ambush point.

The unprotected Asai peasants fell in pieces under the bombardment of the Takenaka Half-Guard Iron Artillery Team, but as if they were enchanted, not only did they not break down, but they rushed in the direction of the Takenaka Half-Guard Iron Artillery Team without even looking at their fallen companions.

The charging peasants were knocked down again at the moment of the sound of the iron cannon, and the Burning Sky looked at the three-stage battle formation formed by the half-guards of Takenaka, and there was not much turmoil in his heart, the three-stage attack had already been used by the generals of the Oda family before the battle of Nagajo. After the completion of the three-stage attack, the iron artillery team of the Takenaka Hanbei quickly retreated, and the surrounding Oda troops quickly filled the gap, pressing back the Asai family's peasants.

Just as Burning Sky wanted to ask Kinoshita Hideyoshi to let him step forward to kill the enemy, a black shadow in the distance rushed towards the Oda army that was constantly compressing the Asai peasant soldiers. Burning Sky hurriedly looked over, and he could already see the cavalry team planted in the Asai family's banner protruding from the Oda family's military formation.

At this time, Kinoshita Hideyoshi stood up and said to the burning sky and the samurai guarding the camp, "It's finally here!" ”
