Chapter 70: In vain

Three days have passed, no matter how the clan invites the battle, Osawa Jiro just can't hold on, in the past few days, the clan is also searching the intestines and scraping the stomach, meditating and thinking hard, and finally let him come up with a way that is not a way, that is, to cut off food.

Clan Zong thought that there were more than 2,000 people in the city who opened their mouths to eat, and Osawa Jiro was just a small wealthy family, so he couldn't reserve much food at all, and the city would run out of food in a few days, and at that time, even if he didn't want to go out of the city, it would be impossible.

Thinking of this, the clan began to calm down, and he sent a ninja army to monitor outside the city, and if anyone left the city, he would directly kill him.

After another two days, as the clan had thought, there was no food in the city. I saw that the gate of Unuma Castle opened again, and Jiro Osawa took the lead, and in addition to three or four samurai behind him, there were 1,600 ashigaru. The ninja who was in charge of monitoring outside the castle saw that the enemy was strong and did not dare to act rashly, and immediately reported this information to the clan.

After hearing this, the clan snorted coldly, and was afraid that they would shrink into the city, as long as they were willing to come out, then everything would be easy.

Unlike last time, this time the clan's main camp was a mile away from the city, and even if Jiro Osawa directly launched a charge, the clan would have enough time to react.

Osawa Jiro also knew that it was unwise for Tsumichi to charge directly, so instead of charging, he began to command Ashigaru to line up outside the castle gate. He is going to compete head-on with the Gaoshan Clan.

"Lord, now that the enemy is arrayed, take advantage of the enemy's unstable position and let his subordinates lead the Iron Thorn Cavalry to launch an assault!" Seeing such a good opportunity, Maeda Toshiya couldn't help but step forward and said.

For Osawa Jiro's persistence, the clan felt some admiration, he has now regarded Osawa Jiro as an opponent, so the clan did not take Maeda Toshiie's advice, and the clan will give him enough respect for those who are regarded as opponents.

And he is also very confident, even if the other party lines up the formation, they will still be vulnerable under the impact of the Iron Thorn Horse.

Most of the enemies were just untrained peasants, so the formation was slow, and the clan had waited almost a stick of incense before it was formed.

I saw that the enemy formed a total of four formations, which were left, center, right and this formation. Each phalanx was 400 ashigaru, and as soon as the left, center, and right formations were formed, they slowly advanced towards the side of the clan.

The clan also divided his banner into four formations, the right formation was 200 spear ashigaru under the command of Yamauchi Kazutoyo, the middle formation was led by the ninja army led by Wasuka Masakatsu and more than 90 childish sword ashigaru, and Maeda Toshiie and 100 iron thorn riders were arranged in the left formation.

It was useful for the clan to arrange the most elite iron thorn cavalry in the left formation, because after the clan observed, the position of the enemy's right formation was closest to the main formation, and as long as he could break through the right formation, he would be able to attack the enemy's main formation, whether it was to take Jiro Osawa or capture him alive, in this way, even if the enemy army was numerous, it would inevitably throw a rat trap, and Unuma Castle would be self-defeating.

Since Ashigaru was sent to the first three formations, the clan's main formation was a little thin, with only more than forty spears ashigaru, but he was not worried, although there was no war now, the clan dared to assert that the enemy would not be able to rush over anyway.

The two armies were slowly approaching, and it was not until there was only about 300 meters left that the two sides of Ashigaru began to charge, and Osawa Jiro was still firmly in the main formation, and in his eyes, Nobunaga's elite was nothing more than that, so he did not have the slightest worry.

Since Osawa Jiro's territory was located between the mountains of Higashimino and the news was very ill-informed, he didn't know the power of the Iron Thorn Cavalry at all, and he actually delusionally used 400 peasant soldiers to resist.

The Iron Thorn Cavalry was the first to launch a surprise attack, when there were about 50 steps away from the enemy, they raised their iron cannons to shoot at the enemy, although this round of shooting caused more than 30 casualties to the enemy, but the enemy's right position was light, because he had seen this new weapon, so he did not flee directly, but more than 50 steps away, for the cavalry, in the blink of an eye, the Iron Thorn Cavalry under the leadership of Maeda Toshiie, did not entangle with the enemy's right formation, but after quickly solving the enemy in front of the horse, he pointed directly at Osawa Jiro's main formation without stopping.

Osawa Jiro didn't expect his right formation to be broken through by the enemy so quickly, and the most important thing is that the enemy had already killed him, and it was obviously too late to return to the city, so he had to retreat westward with his own ashigaru, but the two legs ran there over four legs, except for Osawa Jiro and another horseback flagoto who ran faster, the rest of the ashigaru all scattered and fled. It didn't matter if they fled, the key was to hinder the pursuit of Jiro Osawa by the Iron Thorn Cavalry. ,

The enemies who were still fighting on the battlefield saw that the main formation had been breached, so they all had no intention of fighting, and in an instant, Ashigaru fled without a trace outside the castle, and Ashigaru, who was defending the city, saw that the general trend had gone, and they also fled from Unuma Castle.

Seeing Osawa Jiro running farther and farther, Maeda Toshiya was resentful, but at this moment, I saw an army of the Oda family appear in the west, led by Kinoshita Toshiro.

Seeing that the back road was broken, Jiro Osawa jumped off his horse, sat on the ground, pulled out his ribs and committed suicide without hesitation.

However, the clan did not have the time to care whether Osawa Jiro was dead or alive, so he hurriedly ordered someone to arrest two ashigaru who seemed to be samurai banners, and asked, "Let me ask you, where did Toki Shuji flee to?" ”

The two ashigaru were already frightened, and they slowed down for a while before saying, "Big... My lord, soil... Toki-sama has been killed. ”

"What, actually killed." The clan shook his head helplessly.

Soon, Kinoshita Tojiro led the army to the clan sect, and the clan sect frowned and said: "Kinoshita-sama, didn't you agree to go outside Kajita Castle at that time, why did you come here?" ”

Kinoshita Tojiro didn't notice the expression of the clan, and said excitedly: "Ha Lu Ha, Takayama Lord, you may not know the way of the road, after some efforts in the next step, the lord of Kajita Castle Sato Kishimaru has announced that he will return to the Oda family, oh yes, even the North American Noiwa Village City Lord Toyama Keiren has also announced his allegiance to the Oda family under the inspiration of the next, Ha Luha." ”

Kinoshita Toyoshiro laughed and said, "I've been waiting for adults in Shimogajida Castle for three days, and I haven't seen you appear, so I thought you were probably in trouble, so I rushed here immediately." ”

The clan scolded in his heart, damn! This monkey's luck is also better, not only did he get Kajida Castle, but even Iwamura Castle let him get it, this is an overfulfilled task, Nobunaga will definitely reward Kinoshita Tojiro, it seems that this time he tossed for half a day in vain.
