Within two days, Oda Nobunaga had already led his army outside Nagashima Castle.

I saw that although Nagajima Castle was a flat castle, it had been continuously improved by the temple for several generations, and in terms of its scale, it was not much compared to Cheongju Castle, and even surpassed it. The whole city is like a fortress.

In addition to the fortification of the city, the monks were much more powerful than the untrained peasants, and although they were rarely trained, their faith drove them mad. Therefore, even if Nobunaga's seat is all elite flags, it will be difficult to break through Nagashima Castle for a while.

The Honganji Temple in Nagashima Castle testified that Oda's army had arrived outside the city, and he did not feel the slightest panic, he was so confident, firstly, the thousand monks and soldiers under his demons, all of whom had followed him for many years, had absolutely no problem with loyalty, even if they were asked to give their lives for the temple, they would not hesitate to do it.

The second is that Honganji Witness is very confident in the defense of Nagashima Castle, and there is an abundance of grain and grass in Nagashima Castle, which can support a thousand people for a year. These grains are all scavenged by him, and they come in handy at this moment.

After several days, the Oda army once breached the gate of Nagashima Castle, but when they entered the castle, they found that they saw a wall that was taller and stronger than the outer wall.

Moreover, the inner gate of the castle was not opposite the outer gate, and it was opened behind Nagashima Castle, and in the eyes of the Oda family banner Ashigaru, the castle was like a labyrinth.

After losing more than 100 banners Honshigaru, the Oda army finally found the inner city gate, but Honganji had already prepared, and when he saw that the outer city was broken, he used the boulders reserved in the city to block the inner city gate, and after another attack, Nobunaga saw that there was no hope of breaking the city in a short time, and immediately ordered Ashigaru to retreat into the formation.

One mile outside Nagashima Castle, here is the place where the Oda army camped, Oda Nobunaga sat sullenly on the main seat in the main formation, the strength of Nagashima Castle, and the tenacity of the monks and soldiers have exceeded Oda Nobunaga's imagination.

After a few days, the number of Ashigaru casualties had already exceeded Jin, and Nagashima Castle was still in the hands of Ichijomune, and the enemy did not suffer too many casualties, so it was not a way to go on like this, so Nobunaga immediately gathered his retainers and held a military meeting in this camp to discuss the strategy of breaking the castle.

This time, because Shibata Katsuya, Saku's Nobumori, and Niwa Nagahide's three important ministers Mu led the army to exterminate the army in Owari, and Lin Tongsheng had the important task of guarding Cheongju City, so among the retainers present, it was Takigawa Ichiyi with the highest status.

Takigawa Kazuyi knew that this outbreak had always been caused by himself, so in the course of the battle in the past few days, he had been at the forefront, and he wanted to use this to eliminate the lord's anger towards him. However, although he fought bravely, it was useless in front of the fortified city of Long Island.

Nobunaga saw that the retainers who had gone out with the army had already gathered their troops, and before they could sit down, he said impatiently: "Everyone, now that our army's attack is blocked, whoever has a strategy to break the city, tell me quickly." ”

In the face of such a strong city, what good plan can the retainers come up with, so after the lord asks, they will bow their heads, for fear that the lord will call their names.

And Takigawa Kazuki was now anxious to behave in front of Nobunaga, so he didn't care about the demeanor of others, and said directly: "My lord, now the city gate outside Nagashima City has been breached, and it will take at least half a day for the monks and soldiers in the city to repair the city gate, so his subordinates think that after letting Ashigaru rest a little, he should take the opportunity to launch a fierce attack on Nagashima City, so as to take this city in one fell swoop, and ask the lord to decide." ”

"Shut up! If the assault was useful, Long Island City would have been breached a long time ago, do you need to say more? Nobunaga walked up to Takigawa Kazuki and yelled at him.

"Yes, yes, please calm the lord's anger, it's the subordinates who are not thoughtful, and please forgive the lord." Seeing that the lord was angry, Takigawa Yiyi didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly knelt on the ground.

Nobunaga didn't pay any attention to Takigawa Kazuyi, his eyes swept to the other retainers present, and he was secretly thinking to himself, since he couldn't attack it, then there was only one way left to attack the city, but what if he did it? Oda Nobunaga couldn't help but think that the defenders of Nagashima Castle relied on nothing more than the high castle and deep ponds, and the abundance of grain and grass, if they could destroy all their grain and grass, even if they did not send troops to attack, the enemy would inevitably collapse without a fight. ,

Thinking of this, Nobunaga's originally gloomy mood suddenly brightened up again. And if this plan wants to succeed, it is inseparable from Takigawa Kazuki, who was born as a ninja.

Now that his mind has been decided, Nobunaga no longer needs the advice of his retainers, so he just heard him say directly: "Takigawa Ichiyi! ”

Takigawa Yiyi saw that the lord called his name, and thought that it was what he said just now, which angered the lord, and he couldn't help but tremble, only to hear him say in a weak heart: "Belong... Subordinates are in. ”

"I order you to lead the ninja army to burn the grain and grass in Long Island City tonight, if you fail this time, ......."

Nobunaga was just halfway through his words when suddenly a junior samurai ran quickly into the big tent and shouted, "Report! My lord, the Northern Ise clan gathered an army of 2,000 and came to the rescue of Nagashima Castle, which is now less than ten miles away from our army, and I ask my lord to prepare as soon as possible. ”

"Zhilu Dao, you can step down." Oda Nobunaga said flatly, in his opinion, the more than 2,000 troops are simply a rabble, even if they don't come, Nobunaga still plans to wait for the capture of Nagashima Castle to attack them, now it's good, they haven't gone yet, they came, in addition to saving a lot of time, it can also hit these wealthy clans hard, and prepare in advance for the unification of North Ise in the future.

"Humph! Overestimate one's strength or oneself. Order, immediately line up, first repel these rabble, and then attack Long Island City. After Nobunaga finished speaking, the retainers rushed out and went to prepare for the field battle.

Soon after the retainers left the Great Tent, the 2,900 banners had already formed nine phalanxes, and Nobunaga personally formed the remaining banners 200 meters behind the nine formations.

Although the enemy was only ten miles away from Nobunaga's army, they walked for more than an hour before they reached a mile away from Oda's army and began to line up.

How could the Northern Ise Hao clan coalition army Ashigaru be compared to the elite of Nobunaga's demon, not only were they disheveled and scattered, but most importantly, they lacked the formidable murderous aura of the Oda army.

After a while, the two armies, having formed their positions, slowly approached. Nobunaga had seen a lot of battles like this, so he couldn't lift his spirits at all, so he saw him sitting in the middle of the main formation, smiling cruelly, and said to Hasegawa Shuichi beside him flatly: "Let's start attacking." After saying that, as if he had become an outsider, he began to wipe his beloved Taidao without even raising his head. A battle like this was a sure victory, and it really didn't attract Nobunaga's attention.

"The Lord has an order, start the attack!" With a shout from Hasegawa Shuichi, the first three formations of the Oda army rushed towards the enemy, and in the blink of an eye, the two armies were fighting in one place......
