Chapter 109: The Fisherman and the Fish

The left vanguard of the Oda army, led by the Oda family general Sasa Chengmasa, has always been very confident in martial arts, since a few years ago, after being defeated by the Takayama clan in the Atsuta Shrine, he has been practicing diligently in recent years, and he has the heart to avenge the revenge of the arrow that year, but since the ghost of the Takayama clan made the god send to become a member of the Shibata Katsuya, after the mediation of the Shibata Katsuma, although Sazuo Naruma gave up the idea of solving the problem by force, but he was not a person with a good heart, so he was still obsessed with the previous incident, Since he can't test martial arts in the Heshan clan now, he is competing with the Gaoshan clan in terms of identity promotion. He wants to catch up with each other in identity all the time.

Every time the Gaoshan clan rises to Lu, Sazuo Chengzheng will chase after him with all his might, seeing that the two are now equal, he will rise to the heart of surpassing it, and today, against the opposite, it is just a group of mergers, and the enemy samurai are not famous, Sazuo Chengzheng secretly calculates in his heart, if he only takes the enemy's right front general, although it is considered some credit, but this credit is nothing in the eyes of the lord, it is already good to get a few words of praise, and it is impossible to get promoted because of this.

But if you can win the main general in the opponent's formation, then this credit should be enough for your own promotion. As soon as he thought of being promoted, Sasa Chengmasa began to get excited, and even the spear in his hand was a little faster.

The two armies had already begun to fight together, and Honganji was also alarmed by the shouts of killing outside the castle, and he thought that the Oda army was coming to attack the castle again, so he immediately ordered one of his close disciples to organize a defense, while not climbing the castle tower observation deck. However, when he saw that there was no Oda army outside the city, he already knew that reinforcements were probably coming. Honganji Temple immediately sent several monks and soldiers out of the city to investigate, and summoned all the cronies and disciples to the assessment room to discuss the strategy of defeating the enemy.

After the monks sat down, one of the monks had obviously received the news of the arrival of reinforcements, only to see him step forward, excitedly said: "The first seat, now the enemy has been dragged by reinforcements, if at this time our temple kills out of the city, the Oda army will inevitably collapse under the front and rear attacks, and then the temple can take advantage of the Oda family's inability to resist, in one fell swoop to recapture Owari, and please take the first seat." A monk with a fat head and big ears and a round waist said angrily.

The monk's suggestion sounded very reasonable, but the Honganji Temple did not think so, and the friendship between the Yuanzhen Temple and the wealthy families who came to help was not sincere, it was nothing more than greedy for a good word, and the wealthy people were also like mirrors about this, and this time they came to help with their talents. Now there are more than 900 monks under the command of Honganji Temple, if you go out of the city to fight now, it will not play a big role if you send less, and if you send more, if you lose a lot, then how should Nagashima Castle be defended? It's better to let them fight for both.

In this way, if the Oda army loses too much in this battle, then it will definitely withdraw its troops, and even if it does not withdraw, it will not be able to break through Nagashima Castle, which is high and deep, with those remnants. And if the Northern Ise Hao clan coalition army suffered heavy losses, then it would be possible to take advantage of the God-given opportunity to send troops to exterminate them, so as to unify the Northern Ise in one fell swoop and compete with the Kitabatake clan, the Kitabatake clan is now a dry bone in the mound, if you get the northern Ise, it must not be difficult to take the entire territory of Ise again.

Since the arrival of the Northern Ise Wealthy Clan, he has shifted his attack from Owari to Northern Ise. Now that the Owari Oda family is powerful, even if the 3,000 Oda army is defeated, don't forget that there are more Oda troops waiting for them in Owari. Therefore, he would never dare to act rashly.

"The first one, the enemy army is deceitful, if we lead the army out of the city rashly, in case the enemy sends someone to steal the city, then Nagashima City is difficult to protect, so my subordinates think that it is better to wait and see what happens in the city now, if the coalition army wins and we will send an army to pursue the Oda army, if the coalition army is not victorious, we should still hold on to the city." Another monk spoke.

I saw a sinister smile at Honganji Temple, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, this seat has decided that we will wait in the city to wait and see what happens, so as to obtain the greatest benefits, and order the monks guarding the city to immediately repair the outer city gate at this time." ”

"The first one, the alliance army of the Hao clan is not as strong as the Oda family, and it is not as elite as the Oda army, if the battle is defeated and the enemy comes to attack the city again, what should I do, the disciple thinks that it is better to go out of the city and attack the Oda army."

At this moment, Honganji Zhengyi was dreaming of unifying Ise, and when he saw that someone was opposing, he couldn't help but snort coldly and said, "Humph! The Oda army failed to capture the city for several days, and now after repeated battles, its army has long been exhausted, and with those more than 2,000 tired troops, they also want to capture Nagashima Castle? It's a fool's dream! ”,

Another monk with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks saw that Honganji had made up his mind, and hurriedly complimented: "The first one is wise, and I can't wait for the wisdom of the first one, so the disciple will go down and give an order to repair the city." After finishing speaking, he put his hands together and bowed deeply to the Wishing Temple, and then quickly retreated.

Honganji testimony was a little can't find the north by these sycophants, and I have the heart to show off, so I heard him laugh and say: "Ha Lu Ha, this is a competition between the snipe and the mussels, and the fisherman profits, and I will be regarded as a fisherman. "After that,.

The temple did not wait for everyone to speak, and got up and went directly to the inner room.

A mile out of Nagashima City, the Oda Army and the Northern Ise Hao Clan Coalition Army are in full swing, but under the fierce offensive launched by the Oda Army, the Hao Clan Coalition Army has shown its decline, among them, the Oda Army's Sasa Narumasa led the left front banner Honashigaru to launch a strong attack as soon as he came up, and Sasa Naruma was even more rushed to the front, he did not entangle with the enemy Ashigaru, and directly took the enemy's right front general. In less than three rounds, he stabbed the enemy commander under his horse.

Seeing that the main general had been captured, the morale of the right front of Kitaise plummeted, and the other samurai could not restrain themselves, so the right front formation collapsed and fled in all directions. Seeing that there was already a rout in the area, the Oda army was greatly boosted in morale and attacked more violently. Seeing this, Kobe Gumori, the lord of Takaoka Castle, the lord of the Hao Clan's coalition army, hurriedly ordered the right center to immediately step forward to block the enemy's attack, but the good times did not last long, and when the two sides were deadlocked, the middle front formation had also been defeated by the three hundred banners led by Oda Army Ashigaru General Kawajiri Hidetaka Kawajiri Honashi. At present, only the left front of the first three formations of the Northern Ise coalition army remained, and under the attack of the Oda army from both sides, it was even more difficult to support itself, and it was soon defeated. At this time, the three fronts of the Oda family were already fighting against the coalition mid-formation.
