As night fell, the defenders, who had fought all day, drifted off to sleep.

Suddenly, a samurai with a probe came to the well and sprinkled a bag of powder into the water.

It's dawn.

"Ugh!"

"Poof!" The defenders of the city fell in pieces, foaming at the mouth and convulsing.

"What's going on!" A samurai on duty hurried to the well.

"My lord! Someone poisoned the well, and many people drank the poisonous well water! ”

"This well is the only source of water in the city, and without water, we won't be able to last long!" The seriousness of the situation soon spread to the castle lord Omiya Norimi.

"Hey... Let's surrender in Kaesong, there is no need to hold on. Omiya closed his eyes in pain, he didn't expect the Oda family to be so despicable.

The gates of Asaka Castle were wide open, and Omiya led a group of samurai kneeling on the side of the road to welcome the Oda army into the city.

"Hahaha! Genrokuro did a good job, I'll go to the lord to ask for credit for you when I go back. Kinoshita Hideyoshi patted a samurai on the shoulder and said that this person was Genrokuro Endo, a retainer of the Omiya family.

"Hey! Thank you Kinoshita-sama for your kind words, and I beg to serve Kinoshita-sama, and I hope that your lordship will be fulfilled! Endo Genrokuro hurriedly made a request to serve Kinoshita's family, and there were cannibalistic eyes all around, this traitor!

"Hmm... Haha, okay. From today onwards, follow me. As soon as Kinoshita Hideyoshi's eyes rolled, the credit for Asaka Castle was all his.

"Yes! Your subordinates are willing to die for the Lord, please let your subordinates open your eyes for you. After saying that, Endo Genrokuro led Kinoshita Hideyoshi's horse and entered Asaka Castle.

"Well, the monkey did a good job, what is that guy Rokuro doing! Grinding! "After receiving the news of the capture of Asaka Castle, Oda Nobunaga convened another military council.

"Don't worry about the branch city, directly attack the home city of the Kitada family, Okochi City! Order Rokuro to attack his Shima country, there is no need for his navy here. "Oda Nobunaga decided to go straight to the dragon's lair and forcibly crush it with superior forces.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

"Damn! It's really more popular than people, the monkey guy takes the city in one day, but it seems that we don't work hard enough. After receiving Oda Nobunaga's order, Hosokawa Nobumoto pursed his lips, revealing his dissatisfaction with him.

"It's okay, let's take Shima Country first, this is our own territory. Ordered Murakami Motoyoshi to move south from the sea and land at Shima Tashi-gun, and the rest of the army to attack Shima Province by land. "Hosokawa Nobumoto decided to sweep the entire Shima country with the power of thunder.

"My lord, the Hosokawa army has retreated, do we need to start a pursuit?"

In Tominaga Castle, Toriya Ao Mitsuei quietly looked at the departing Hosokawa army, shook his head and said, "The sky is about to change......

The sky really changed, Oda Nobunaga was very depressed, and it had been raining continuously since the previous few days. As a result, the iron artillery team was unable to play its role, and the heroic resistance of Kitada's retainers Hioki Ozenryo and Ieki Zhushui led to a stagnation in the offensive against Okochi Castle.

On the other hand, Hosokawa Nobumoto marched all the way and captured Matsuzaki Castle and Oyodo Castle of the Kitada family that stood in front of him.

Later, it officially invaded the country of Shima, and the army and navy converged in Shima Tashi County, swept through the seven towns of Isobe and the five towns of Kamo, and surrounded Kohama Castle.

"Yuanlong, tell me about the local situation." There are few villains in Shima Country, and Hosokawa Nobumoto doesn't bother to invest in intelligence officers at all.

"Yes! We are now in Kohama Castle, the lord of the city is Kohama Keitaka, and the garrison is about 150 people; Fifty miles east of the coastline is Toba Castle, and the lord of the castle is Toba Sotada, with about 200 people...... "Nine Ghost Yuanlong gestured with a sand table on the side, it seems that he has done a lot of homework in advance.

"My lord, it seems that the combined strength of the entire Shima family is not as large as this family, not to mention that the quality of the soldiers is even more different, so it is better to divide the troops, right?" Sanada Masayuki said loudly on the side, these mosquito meat is not enough for a few of them.

"It's okay, it's time to practice the clan system of our family." Hosokawa Nobumoto nodded in approval, and as soon as the retainers heard about their family's legion system, their eyes immediately burst into a faint green light.

"Command! The general Takigawa Ikai led the German bun bei 200, with the ashigaru generals Kanemaru Shoji and Miyata Koji, and the military division was Mikoda Masaharu, who was responsible for attacking the west of Ashi County. ”

"Yes!"

"The general Shima Katsu led the Sekihara 200, with the ashigaru generals Tao Zhongyuan and Oura as the letter, and the military division was Sanada Masayuki, who was responsible for the attack on the east of Ashi County."

"Yes!"

"Honda Tadashi led a samurai team of 100 horsemen, Sekihara 200, and Debun 200. With the horseback general Kamihara Yasumasa, the ashigaru general Shingo Soji, the treasure temple Yinei, Nakamura Kazuji, and Oto Chinobu, the military advisor is Honda Masanobu, who is responsible for attacking the entire Yingyu County. ”

"Yes!"

"The head of the naval army, Murakami Motoyoshi, and the nine ghosts Mototaka led 500 sailors to blockade the sea area of Shima Country, strictly defend it, and prevent the enemy from escaping!"

"Yes!" Two immature promises, Hosokawa Nobumoto looked at them, this time the task of the navy army is the heaviest. First, the naval army was initially built, and its combat power was insufficient; The second is that the leaders of the navy are too young, and the Hosokawa family lacks the old and serious generals of the navy.

"The rest of the army is formed into a formation, and they will obey orders at any time!" With the strategic deployment in place, the rest depends on their respective performances.

"Set fire! Burn down Tayun Castle! ”

"Harvest all the autumn rice! Don't leave them a grain of food! ”

This kind of burning, killing and looting was everywhere in Minami Ise, and the Oda army attacked Okochi Castle for a long time, and adopted a scorched earth siege strategy, causing the castle to run out of food and starve everywhere.

"Let's go and negotiate peace with the Oda family......" Kitada Gujiao said helplessly, although he had already given up the position of family governor to his eldest son, Kitada Gufang, but the real power was still in his hands.

"My lord..."The ministers of the Kitada family wept one after another, not long ago Kinoshita Hideyoshi raided the Tachi Imperial Palace, and captured 37 people, including Kitada Gukyo and Masanari's wife.

"But my father, the request of the Oda family is to let the lord accept his second son as an adopted son, marry Princess Yukihime, and inherit my Kitada family! This is absolutely unacceptable! Kitada expressed strong opposition, he is the third son of Kitada Gujiao and the younger brother of Kitada Gufang.

"Yes, it's a big deal to fight to the end, and his subordinates don't believe it, doesn't he need the autumn harvest in the Oda family?" The important minister Kurada Yukitoshi also strongly disagreed.

"Kurada-sama doesn't know that his Oda family really doesn't need to go back to the autumn harvest, and it is said that they have a system of separating soldiers and peasants. Besides, if you take the second man of the Oda family, you can also take him as a hostage in disguise. The retainer Toshiyuki Mizutani agreed to surrender, although he didn't know what the hell the "separation of soldiers and peasants" was.

"In order to save the people in my territory from being devastated, I have made up my mind and agreed to the peace plan of the Oda family. You'll take care of the rest. The Beitian Gufang on the main seat was physically and mentally exhausted, and waved his hand weakly.

"Yes!" All the retainers in Beitian bowed their heads and lamented, and they couldn't calm down for a long time.
