On September 7, the 11th year of Eiroku (1568), Oda Nobunaga officially marched out of Gifu Castle with a force of 15,000 troops; The wealthy clans and important ministers in the territory followed, with a strength of 11,000 (including 1,600 people from the headquarters of the Hosokawa family); The total strength of the army is more than 26,000 people, although it is nearly half less than the number of troops in history, but these are all standing armies, and their combat strength has increased unabated.

In addition, Tokugawa Ieyasu from Mikawa sent 1,000 troops led by Matsudaira Nobuichi and Ogasawara Nobuko to support.

This Tokugawa Ieyasu was the original Matsudaira Ieyasu, and since the ninth year of Eiroku (1566), Matsudaira Ieyasu has pacified the Higashi-Mikawa and Oku-Mikawa (northern part of Mikawa Province) and unified the Mikawa Province.

It was also in this year that he was appointed from the Imperial Court to the Five Lower Names and Mikawamori, and was allowed to change his surname to Tokugawa. In fact, Tokugawa Ieyasu tampered with the ancestral tree and changed his surname. Since then, however, the Tokugawa clan has been recognized as descending from the Tokugawa clan, a branch of the Kiyowa Genji branch, and a tributary of the Nitta clan. Tokugawa Ieyasu's move did not escape Hosokawa Nobumoto's eyes, Hosokawa Nobugen knew that this was actually Tokugawa Ieyasu's foreshadowing in order to become a general in the future, showing that he was a descendant of Genji, and it seemed that the old turtle had also started his ambition to dominate the world.

Wealthy clans such as Seki Mori Shin and Kobe Gomori in Northern Ise also sent troops to participate in the war, with a total strength of 1,500 soldiers.

On September 8, the Kamirako coalition army reached Kita-Omi Sawa Yamashiro, joined forces with Asai Nagamasa's army of 3,000, and rested for two days in the area around Takamiya. So far, the total strength of the Shangluo coalition army is more than 32,000 people.

On September 11, the Kamilo coalition army marched to the vicinity of the Minami-Omi Aichi River and held a military meeting.

"My lord, my subordinates have discovered that the hexagonal family is relying on the city of Guanyin Temple, and the branch city of Jizuo and Hetian Mountain City have become horns, and the remaining eighteen branch cities are distributed around, which has been a strategy." Hosokawa Nobumoto began to report on the battlefield:

"At present, there are 3,000 garrisons in Misaku Castle, and the garrison generals are Yoshida Shigetaka and Jianbu Hideaki; There were 6,000 garrisons in Hetian Mountain Castle, and the garrison generals were Tanaka Jiki and Tanaka Motonobu; The garrison commander of Hino Castle is Kenhide Gamo, and the garrison..."

"Good! Since the Hexagonal Family is so stubborn, then wherever our army goes, it will definitely be wiped out! As for the striker..."Oda Nobunaga in the main seat glanced around, and it was ready to go out.

Inaba Yitetsu, Ando Mamoru and the clan Bu Quan glanced at each other, and immediately bowed down with interest: "The ministers are willing to be pioneers!" "Because according to the convention, the newly surrendered wealthy clan will be the vanguard!

"Well, I understand your intentions, and my family has never suppressed the wealthy families who surrender to me, so you can rest assured of this. Rokuro! With you as the forerunner, you must be victorious! "Oda Nobunaga believed that good steel was used on the blade, and directly sent the Hosokawa team, which was the strongest military in the family.

"Yes! Your Majesty will definitely win the first battle, please rest assured! "Hosokawa Nobumoto was overjoyed to get the military order, and he failed to participate in the Battle of Kitaise, which made him miss a great military achievement, and this time he had to win back a city no matter what.

On September 12, outside the castle of Kannonji Temple in Gamo County, Omi Province, there were two armies of equal strength fighting against each other, and the army under the banner of the Rokkaku Army was about 1,005, and the leader of the team was Rokkaku Yoshinori, who was the second son of Rokkaku Yoshiken and the younger brother of Rokkaku Yoshiharu.

It was Hosokawa Nobumoto who played against the Rokkaku, and at this time he was wearing a "golden tome with a foot", a famous knife at his waist "Pressure Cut", and sat on a black steed "Hurricane". The military flag and horse seal stood straight next to him, and there were fifty or sixty horses around him, but there was no trace of the two hundred "Nether Iron Horsemen".

Since this was a frontal tentative attack, Hosokawa Nobumoto was in the front with 200 bows and ashigaru with 1,000 guns, with the newly formed Sekihara Bei as the first formation and Debunbei as the second formation. The hexagonal Yoshitsu on the opposite side is also in front with 300 bows and feet, and 1,000 spears are divided into two formations, and this formation is guarded by 200 horses.

Knock knock! The drums sounded in unison, and the two sides went to war, officially opening the curtain of war!

I saw that the hexagonal army was bowed and light in front, and the spear was light in the back, and it slowly pressed up. On the other hand, the Hosokawa army waited for the arrival of the Hexagonal Army in the same place.

"Steady! Steady! "Masasari Naito, the general of the bow, commanded in the center, visually measured the distance between the two sides, and estimated the effective shooting range.

"Raise your bow!" Swish!

"Volley triple hit! Shoot! "Buzz! Airplanes! Airplanes!

Bow Foot Light launched an attack in accordance with the order, and suddenly the arrows rained down, and the Hexagonal Army Bow Foot Light just entered the firing range, and suffered a catastrophe when it landed.

Burst! Burst! Burst!

"Ugh!"

"Ahh Poof!

The fragile bow-footed light fell in pieces, moaning incessantly.

"Huh? Archery! Shoot arrows! The hastily commanded the Rokkaku samurai to shoot back, and the sparse arrows rose into the air, but they were inserted five steps away from the Hosokawa army, and the range was insufficient!

"My lord, the result of the bow foot light inspection is qualified." Honda Masanobu on the side saw the performance of Bow Foot and gave a score like a judge.

"Well, I saw it." Hosokawa Nobumoto nodded in approval, bowing ashigaru is basically a training mode for veterans to lead recruits, and the performance in battle is also normal, especially with the heavy rattan bow, the range has also increased a lot.

"Withdraw! Evacuate! "The Hexagonal Army dropped more than forty corpses and retreated in defeat, and the Bow Foot Light Hosokawa family was victorious.

"Forward!" The spears of the Hexagonal Army in the back pressed up lightly, and the team formed a wave, and there was no unified pace at all.

"Bow your feet and retreat! Sekihara is on standby! "A Ma Hui conveyed the orders of the Chinese army.

"Backwards... Turn! Left... Rightward... Run! "Step! Trample! Trample! Bowfoot evacuated the front row in an orderly manner.

"Sekihara! Raise your gun! "Wow! The movements are standard and uniform, and they look well-trained.

"Steady! Steady! Haruyuki Hosokawa commanded in the center, a bead of sweat the size of a bean oozing from his forehead, and he was the first time he had commanded a battle at close range.

"Huh~~Huh~~" Sekihara's Ashigaru looked nervously at the enemies who were getting closer and closer, his palms sweating, and his eyes involuntarily skimmed left and right.

"Look ahead! Retreater, slash! Ashigaru Shogun Shimakatsu pulled out the sword at his waist and roared viciously.

Whew! Beehouse Yorilong, Oura Weixin, Tao Zhongyuan, Kaida Keikane, Shingo Soji, and Treasure Courtyard Yinrong also drew their swords one after another and suppressed their positions.

"Sekihara has a poor sense of presence, but thanks to the left side of the island, he turned the tide, but it is also because this is Sekihara's first formation, and it is inevitable that there will be some loss of shape in actual combat." Honda Masanobu gave a pertinent assessment.

"Hmmm! Where is the Nether Iron Ride? Don't miss the end. Hosokawa Nobumoto asked without replying, in his eyes, the victory and defeat had been decided.

"Lord, there is probably a lap left, if you let Guan Yuanbei stalemate for a while, you should be able to catch up." Honda Masanobu looked at the sky, and after a while, it turned out that the samurai on horseback had been ordered to go out and run three laps first, simulating training for a long-distance run.
