Chapter 164: The Defensive Battle of Mt. Tsukiyama Tomita Castle (1)

In the Nijo Imperial Palace in Kyoto, a grand Noh drama is being performed, and all the daimyo present are dominant, and Oda Nobunaga and Shogun Yoshiaki sit side by side on the main seat, but Shogun Yoshiaki's bleached face is full of red.

Hosokawa Nobugen is also among them, but he is very depressed. One is that he doesn't know how to appreciate Noh dramas, and the other is that according to his rank and official position, his upper hand is Tokugawa Ieyasu, and his lower hand is Masunaga Hide.

"Hey, hey, hey... Come, Shimamomo-sama! Here's a toast. Matsunaga smiled and didn't smile, and came over to toast frequently.

"Hehe, Lord Yamato Mamoru is polite, I can't drink too much, it's really not good." Hosokawa Nobumoto waved his hand again and again, and the intention of shirk was obvious.

"Alas... Lord Shimamori, today is a good day, and I can't help but drink this wine. Come on, come on, accompany one next, let's not get drunk and don't return. Tokugawa Ieyasu also encouraged.

Depend on! It's because you can't kill me on the battlefield, you want to kill me. Hosokawa Nobumoto thought viciously, and they all wanted to strangle each other.

"Hahaha, everyone, everyone, Shimamomo-sama is still young, and the amount of alcohol has not yet been practiced to the heat. In this way, I will be brave and transgress my identity, and this glass of wine will be drunk for my nephew, and I will do it as a respect. Hosokawa Fujiken took a sip, hung the bowl upside down, and motioned to drink it all.

"Haha, okay, Omi Mamoru has a good amount of alcohol, and I'm doing it in the next." Tokugawa Ieyasu also drank it all, and Matsunaga Xiu drank it with a smile.

"Gurgle... It's so beautiful, it's beautiful. From the distant family auditorium, the sound of Oda dogs was heard.

"Humph! Whose wild girl is this, so uneducated! General Yoshiaki snorted, this year's New Year was really aggrieved, and he deliberately took advantage of this momentum to demonstrate.

"Hehe, that's the sister, let the palace smile." Oda Nobunaga's demeanor was natural, full of an aura of not being angry and arrogant.

"Oops! It turned out to be the sister of Lord Danzheng.,Just by listening to the voice, you know that she is a strange woman who has captivated the country and the city.。 ”

"Yes, yes. It's really pleasant to the ear, and the sound is even more beautiful. ”

The following group of old fritters hurriedly flattered Oda Nobunaga, making General Yoshiaki so angry that his hands trembled.

At the moment when the New Year's greeting party was being held in Kyoto, Tsukiyama Tomita Castle was shouting to kill the heavens, and from the sky, the black crowd climbed the city wall like ants.

"Archery! Drive them down! ”

Hisatsuna Tachihara commanded Kushigaru to block the Maori army's offensive.

"Up! Drive this bunch of crumbs out of Izumo! ”

The general of the Maori Army, Takaya Anato, served as the vanguard, he was a member of the Maori family, and the main room was the second daughter of the Maori Motosho, and he was also one of the eighteen Maori generals.

In this joint battle, the Maori army sent 15,000 troops, and the 6,000 troops of the Niko family retreated to Gassan Tomita Castle to hold on. Although the siege lasted for more than three months, the results were not ideal, and the Nizi family could not hold out, and their morale did not decrease.

"The lord is really wise, he can lay out so far-reaching." Kamei stood next to Yumori in the mountains, and was full of emotion.

"Yes, the lord is not only both civil and military, but also has both talent and morality, and the revival of the Nizi family is promising." Looking back on the layout of the past few months, Yamanaka Yukimori is also extremely admired.

At the beginning, they took Iwami Ginzan, but suffered heavy losses, and the 3,000 troops who attacked only returned less than 1,000 people, and everyone felt that there was little hope for the great cause of revival.

But unexpectedly, Niko Motohisa actually took out 20,000 taels of silver from Baihuahua, it turned out that the silver mined by Iwami Ginzan had not been delivered to the Maori family, and he had already learned about it through intelligence.

With money to make ghosts grind, and with a lot of money, Nizi Motohisa began to recruit a large number of troops and purchase a large number of military rations and ordnance. Then, with the help of the army, the territory was expanded, and then recruited and captured, forming a virtuous circle.

At present, the warehouse in Gassan Tomita Castle is piled up with grain, which has been continuously purchased since last year, and water resources have been restocked.

"Give them a taste!"

Whoa!

Hot dung water poured down from the city walls.

"Ahh

"Mom! It's disgusting! ”

"Scald me!"

The Maori Footlight, who was besieging the city, fell from the city wall in a row and rolled over, and immediately appeared yellowish-brown pustules on his hands or face.

This is the "golden juice" that Niko Motohisa learned in Hosokawa's house to defend the city: boiling feces and urine can not only burn the enemy, but also the feces are dirty, and the wounds are rotten, making it difficult to heal.

"Damn! What the hell is this! Yoshikawa Motoharu, who was supervising the battle in the back, pulled an injured Ashigaru over, and a pungent stench came to his face, and he quickly pushed it away in disgust.

As far as the eye could see, there were routs everywhere, wailing in pain, and the walls were also wet with dung, which was very slippery, which seriously restricted the follow-up offensive.

Yoshikawa Motoharu looked at him blankly, he is the second son of Maori Motosa, he is rigid by nature, brave and brave, he is the first fierce general of the Maori family, he has never been defeated in his life, and he is nicknamed "Ghost Yoshikawa". But around the way, he has never seen this kind of tactic for many years on the battlefield, and it feels very tricky.

"I didn't expect this Nizi Motojiu to be so difficult, where did he learn this tactic." Next to Kobayakawa Takakei frowned, he is the third son of Maori Motosaku, wise and far-sighted, and the first wise general of the Maori family.

Originally, the strategy of the Mori family was to besiege Tsukiyama Tomita Castle, just like the siege of Niko Yoshihisa in the past, cutting off its food and water, and finally forcing it to surrender.

Unexpectedly, after the siege of three months, the Maori army was surprised to see that on the city wall, the Nizi army was actually washing the war horses with water, which showed that the food and water in the city were worry-free, and the morale of the city was greatly reduced.

In addition, the spring ploughing was approaching, the peasants and soldiers were homesick, and the morale of the army began to be unstable, which forced the Maori army to storm Tsukiyama Tomita Castle.

"It seems that the assault is not going to work." Kobayakawa Takakei reluctantly gave the order to withdraw the troops.

"What if you don't storm it? Recently, a lot of ninjas have come to harass them at night, which has made the morale of the army even more discouraged, and it is necessary to fight as quickly as possible! Yoshikawa Motoharu's tone was impatient, he had never seen such a hard bone to gnaw.

The 200 ninja army who harassed the Deura Morikiyo at night did not come into close contact, but beat gongs and drums and sang songs and set fires in the distance to force the Maori army to either withdraw or fight a decisive battle.

"Hey... Now the interior of the Nizi family is also a monolith.,It would be nice if there was another Oki for the clear.,It can be about the internal response.。 Since ancient times, Gassan Tomita Castle has been breached from within. Kobayakawa Takakei couldn't help but sigh, the city was full of diehards of the Niko family.

*************

"Hahaha! The enemy is back, D! This defense is really easy, if it goes on like this, it will be half a year, even if you hold on for another year, it will be no problem! Kumagai Shinemon laughed, and there was hope for the revival of the Niko family.

"Everyone has fought hard all day, let's go rest, there will be a fierce battle tomorrow." Nizi Motohisa personally climbed the city wall to offer condolences, and brought tears of excitement to the eyes of a cadre of retainers and guards.

"I am willing to die for the Nizi family! I am willing to die for the Nizi family! ”

Retainers and guards raised their weapons, and slogans rang out throughout the city.
