In the Hosokawa military tent, all the important ministers have arrived at the scene, preparing to hold a military meeting to attack Takato Castle.

"My lord! The young master has arrived! With the singing of Manfukumaru, Hosokawa Nobumoto and Senkai Maru rushed in and came to the main seat to sit down.

"See the lord! Young Lord! May Hosokawa parents prosper! The crowd saluted.

"Well, this military discussion is mainly presided over by Smart Pill, so I'll comment on it next to me." Hosokawa Nobumoto tried his best to let Senimaru exercise as much as possible.

"That's... Let's ask Honda to talk about the current situation. "Smart Pill is still a little restrained, after all, the group of people in front of him are all battle-hardened seniors.

"It's the young master!" Honda Masanosin saluted respectfully, and then spoke, "Since our army launched the Takeda attack, it has been going well. ”

"First of all, on the Suruga side, Lord Matsudaira Nobuyasu persuaded Anayama Nobuya-kun to surrender, and your lord agreed to the other party's condition that his son Nobuji be the heir to the Takeda family. Nobuyoshi then surrendered Suruga Ejiri Castle, and the castles below Tanaka Castle, Oyama Castle, and Mt. Tenno, which he had garrisoned, also fell. Matsudaira-sama successfully advanced into Higashi-Suruga and had already besieged Kokokuji Castle, but the Hojo family also took the opportunity to annex Higashi-Suruga, and had already captured Togura Castle and besieged Izumi-to-jo Castle. "There was only a ten-kilometer distance between the Hosokawa Army and the Hojo Army.

"On the Shinano side, Hosokawa Haruki-sama's Western Route Army, under the leadership of Kiso Yoshimasa, made rapid progress, and had already attacked Shinano's abdomen, captured Shiojiri Pass, and completely isolated Shinano from the Takeda family. Now that Takeda Katsuyori has fled in panic, Hosokawa-sama is taking advantage of this opportunity to persuade the Takeda generals who were forced to stay in Shinano to surrender. ”

"The rest is our army, and in front of us is Takato Castle, the guard general Nishina Morinobu, and the garrison is about 3,000 people. The persuasion is ineffective, and it depends on its posture to defend to the end. Gaoyuan City belongs to the ladder Guo style Pingshan City, everyone come and see! Honda Masanobu unfolded a rough map of the city's defenses, and everyone gathered in a circle to look at it carefully.

"Takato Castle is built on the Doushan Mountain, and its mountain and city are full of cherry blossom trees, and it is a famous cherry blossom viewing spot. There are two gates in front and back, the Oteemon Gate in the west and the Te Gate in the northeast, and there are three lines of defense in the castle, namely Sannomaru, Ninomaru, and Honmaru. Takato Street connects to Otemon to the west, but the terrain here is too narrow to deploy large-scale troops. ”

"The Honmaru Castle Tower is located in the south, the terrain is the most dangerous, it is impossible to climb, there is a passage connecting Ninomaru, and there is also a passage to Nanguo, and then from Nanguo you can lead to the Hoshoin Courtyard, and then you can go out of the city, this should be the secret escape road of Takato Castle!"

"Both the west and north are cliffs, but for our trained troops, it is still possible to climb them. The above is the general situation of Gaoyuan City. "Honda Masanobu completed the pre-war report.

"Hmm..."Smart Pill was obviously digesting this information, and Suruga and the Western Route Army didn't need him to worry about it, he just wanted to think about how to capture Takato Castle again.

"It is already impossible to persuade to surrender, and it is not advisable to besiege and consume time and energy, our army should now fight a quick battle so that we can pursue Takeda Katsuyori." Senkaimaru also began to think independently and judge how he should deal with it.

"So, I decided! Storm the city of Gaoyuan! "Senakamaru sets the tone, and all that's left is to line up the troops.

"Kyoto Bei, Tokubun Bei, and Sekibara Bei attack Oteguchi on the west side, and Nagahama Bei and Gifu Bei attack Oteguchi on the north side! Cheongju prepares to attack the Fa Gong Wong in the east! The Thunder Artillery Battalion launched an auxiliary attack! The Invincible Team, the Wind Cavalry Battalion, and the Fire Feather Battalion defend their main formation, and the Yamato and Hanoi Towns guard the rear formation! "Smart Pill has gradually found a feeling, let's go through the dots, and cover all the key points in Takato City!

"Yes! Your Majesty Commanded! "Yes," the retainers ordered one by one.

"Okay, tonight, we will surround Takato City, and the reserves will enter the battle position, and tomorrow morning, we will be..."

"Very good, tomorrow's battle, I hope you will work hard and strive to win one day!" Hosokawa Nobumoto saw his gaze on him, nodded, and approved of Senkaimaru's deployment.

"Yes! Please rest assured! I'll take Gaoyuan City tomorrow! The generals hastened to reassure.

"Very good, Manfukumaru!" Hosokawa Nobumoto shouted the name of Manfukumaru Asai again.

"What does the lord command?" Manfukumaru hurriedly saluted and asked.

"Go to Kaishan Temple, I'm optimistic about the big bell inside." Hosokawa Nobumoto suddenly said this.

"Big... Big clock? "Manfukumaru thought he had misheard, and he didn't know what the use of asking for this bulky thing was.

"Tomorrow's battle is crucial, and all reserves must attack at the same time, so that they cannot take care of each other. So, take the bell as a signal and attack together! "In the face of such a large-scale battle, Hosokawa Nobumoto thought of relying on the bell to transmit the signal of attack.

"Yes!" Manfukumaru understood, and immediately went down to lead a team of flags to Honzenji Temple to capture the bell.

"Alright, let's go down and prepare!" Hosokawa Nobumoto waved his hand and signaled that the military discussion was over.

"Yes!" The retainers bowed respectfully and withdrew.

The Hosokawa Army made combat arrangements overnight, and each reserve unit entered the combat area separately in accordance with the arrangements of the military council.

Takato Castle is also ready to live and die with the city, and now all those who can stay in the city are the most loyal and brave generals of the Takeda family. It can be said that this is the last elite of the Takeda family.

The tense night passed quickly, and as soon as the day dawned, the Hosokawa army was ready for battle, and the plank defense line used for the attack had already been laid down during the night, just waiting for today's decisive battle.

In Sannomaru, Kasuga Kawachi defended the south, Watanabe Teruto guarded the north, Suwa Sho guarded the west, and the reinforcements Oyamada Masanari and Oyamada Masada handled Ninomaru, and Nishina Morinobu sat in Honmaru.

The Hosokawa army outside the city has already surrounded the high and distant city, with swords and armor and clear banners, and the military flags of each reserve team are waving in the wind, and the big characters on them are full of murderous atmosphere.

"Boom Boom Boom ?..." Knowing that the big battle was coming, Tempest sneezed excitedly.

Hosokawa Nobumoto rode on his horse and stroked the neck of the gale, and next to it there was a pony, its child "Shower". Hosokawa Satomaru excitedly rode on the back of the shower, this was the first time he had ridden a horse on the battlefield, and began to fantasize about being able to gallop across the field.

It's a pity that Hosokawa Nobumoto promised Oda Inu that this expedition, Senakamaru will not go to the battlefield, and his initial battle will be left until he becomes an adult.

"My lord, the army is in place and can attack at any time." Honda Masanobu rode his horse from behind, and he had just sent someone to confirm the situation of the various reserves, and they were all ready for battle.

"Good, hard work." Nobumoto Hosokawa nodded and looked up at the sky, where the sun had just risen.

"Smart Pill." Hosokawa Nobumoto called softly, looking at the smart pill who was riding a horse on the side, he also had a bit of a general's demeanor, and sure enough, it was a person who relied on clothes and horses to rely on saddles.

"Father!" The excitement of the smart pill is getting more and more, if it weren't for the Wanfu Pill who was leading the horse in front of him, I'm afraid he would have driven the horse directly in a while.

"You give the order." Hosokawa Nobumoto said lightly.

"Yes!" Smart Pill's voice trembled slightly, and the words that had been waiting for a long time had finally arrived.

"Whew..."Smart Pill exhaled first, then pulled out the small sword, and pointed at Gao Yuan City from afar: "Attack!" ”

"Knock-knock-" The bell of the general attack rang through the sky and lingered for a long time. Still struggling with the latest chapter you can't find?
