Oda Nobunaga, who mobilized 3,000 peasant soldiers, launched an attack on Inuyama Castle and smoothly advanced to Koguchi Castle, a branch city on the outskirts of Inuyama.

"What! Nakajima Toyogo Mamoru actually refused to surrender! Oda Nobunaga, who was in the big tent outside the castle, didn't expect things to be like this.

"It's all the incompetence of the subordinates, which delays the lord's major affairs! The subordinates are willing to be the vanguard and take the small mouth city for the lord. Iwamuro Shigekyu volunteered, he was a member of the Akamato Cloth and was often praised by Oda Nobunaga as a "talent for hidden weapons".

"Good! It is up to you to lead the small family members and 500 ashigaru as the vanguard, and the capture of Xiaokou Castle is considered a great achievement for you! "Oda Nobunaga directly assigned Iwamuro the task of re-resting, and it seems that he wants to re-promote him.

"Liulang, you will lead the family to suppress the head of the city and cooperate with the siege!" Oda Nobunaga handed over 300 bowsfoot to Hosokawa Nobumoto command, and this time Hosokawa Nobunaga also brought his own 100 bows, which has been trained for a long time, and it is not comparable to the 300 peasant soldiers.

After the military meeting, the retainers of the Oda family went down to gather troops to prepare for the siege of the castle, and Iwamuro Shigekyu came to Hosokawa Nobumoto and said: "Hosokawa-sama, when the time comes, I will trouble you to suppress the ashigaru in the castle, and the defense in the southeast of Shimokan is weak, so it is better to attack from here." ”

"Okay, I wish Iwamuro-sama good luck first." Nobumoto Hosokawa nodded in agreement.

"Kill! Give it to me! "Under Oguchi Castle, Iwamuro Shigekyu commanded the army to attack Otemon.

"Aim! Shoot! "Whoosh, Hosokawa Nobumoto, who was behind, commanded the bow foot to shoot at the head of the Otemon castle, and shot five or six foot light at the time.

The battle went on non-stop, and Iwamuro Shigekyu, who was in front of him commanding the siege, looked back at Hosokawa Nobumoto, who nodded secretly and gave him a hint. Suddenly, Iwamuro Shigekyu and his small surname raided the southeast corner of Oguchi Castle and began to climb forcibly.

"Not good! Fast! Stop them! A Samurai from Oguchijo Castle, led more than thirty ashigaru, rushed to the southeast corner to stop Iwamuro from resting.

Whoosh! Belch! Boom! The 100 members of the Hosokawa family, who were in charge of covering, fired three volleys together, killing all the enemies in the southeast corner.

"Haha! Good! Break into the city now! Iwamuro Shigeshu marched forward bravely, and was the first to rush into the castle, leading the small surnames of Ichibashi Denemon, Ito Futaifu and others to rush to Otemon, preparing to occupy the castle gate and welcome more troops into the castle.

"Kill!" Suddenly, hundreds of Koguchi Castle spears rushed out from the corner, led by Nakajima Toyogo, who had been lying in ambush here for a long time.

"We have no way back! Kill them! Rush! "Iwamuro Shigekyu led more than 30 of his men to confront the enemy head-on.

"My lord! It seems that Iwamuro-sama is in trouble, but the angle is limited, and we can't support them. Naito Masari reported to Hosokawa Nobumoto on the situation of the battle.

"Hmmm! Keep free-shooting! You guys! Hurry up and climb up to reinforce Irumo-sama! Hurry up and attack Otemon and share the pressure in the city! Hosokawa Nobumoto continued to command the remaining Ashigaru offensive reinforcements.

"Oh! Iwamuro is being asked for a rest! Iwamuro is being asked for a rest! The castle resounded with the cheers of the enemy's victory, and the Oda family, who had just entered the castle, climbed out one after another, and fled from the castle walls in disarray.

"Bastard! Don't run! Give me all back! Go on the offensive! Retreater, slash! Hosokawa Nobumoto hurriedly gave the order to continue the attack, and the Oda army, which was expected to be victorious, retreated one after another because the death of Iwamuro Shigeshu directly affected the morale of the Oda army.

With a slash, Hosokawa Nobumoto hacked to death an escaped ashigaru, and shouted again: "Those who retreat, slash!" But even if Hosokawa Nobumoto shouted desperately, he couldn't resist the retreat of the Oda army, but instead stayed away from Hosokawa Nobumoto, the evil star, and fled without looking back.

"Damn! The peasant soldiers are really useless! Hosokawa Nobumoto hacked to death two more unlucky people who had escaped.

"My lord! The enemy has reoccupied the walls, our troops are demoralized, and it seems that they can no longer break through the defense. Naito Masari persuaded on the side, now there are only 100 bows left of the Hosokawa army, and they dare not evacuate without the order of the lord, and the other troops have begun to flee in pieces.

While Hosokawa Nobumoto was hesitating, he saw a horse running from Oda Honjin, "Hosokawa-sama!" The Saito family reinforcements were found at the front, and the lord had an order to withdraw immediately! ”

"Good! The whole army obeys the order! Cover the withdrawal! "Yes!" Hosokawa's 100 bows and arrows were shot while retreating, and they shot many enemies who wanted to pursue.

In the end, the joint battle was defeated by the frantic counterattack of the defenders of Koguchi Castle and was defeated. Oda Nobunaga was very depressed, and it didn't matter if Mino was hard to bite, but he didn't expect that the small Inuyama Castle branch was also as strong as this, and the soldiers were lost.

Nobunaga, who did not believe in evil, immediately led the army directly to Ninomiya Mountain, "Build a castle here immediately, and after that, I will leave Kiyoshu Castle and move the castle here!" ”

"Huh?" All the retainers of the Oda family were stunned, didn't they originally say that they would discuss it again? Why was this suddenly decided? How the hell are you staying in this place? What the? Let me live in that place where birds don't poop?

I saw Oda Nobunaga with a serious face, pointing with a horsewhip finger, this hill will be so-and-so's house from now on, and from that hill will be someone's mansion from now on......

Hosokawa Nobugen was observing the words and expressions on the side, and he always felt that something was wrong, and after a while, he understood. Oda Nobunaga is acting for them to see, he has said a lot, just talking about where the retainers are going, and not mentioning a word about the castle tower, the training ground, the zaya and other important facilities.

Hosokawa Nobumoto, who understood the truth, took advantage of the gap between Oda Nobunaga's drinking water and admonished: "My lord! His Majesty believed that this place was sparsely populated and unsuitable for habitation and development, so it was better to choose another place. His Majesty believed that Xiaomaki Mountain was connected to Cheongju City by land and water transportation, and the gentle terrain made it convenient for the transportation of people and horses, which might be suitable for the relocation of the main city. ”

"Huh?" As soon as Oda Nobunaga heard this, he seemed to begin to consider this suggestion, and the other retainers saw that there was a play, and quickly echoed them, and complained to Oda Nobunaga about the various things that were bad about Ninonomiyayama.

"In that case, let's build a castle in Komaki Mountain. Yagoro will be in charge of the construction of the new main castle! Oda Nobunaga reluctantly accepted this suggestion, and arranged for Niwa Nagahide to be in charge of building the castle, while the rest of the Oda family retainers praised the lord's wisdom and martial arts.

"Then it just so happens that people are here today, I will now announce the future strategy policy of the family, temporarily abandon the previous battle policy of West Mino and East Mino to attack the Yellow Dragon, and change to attack Central Mino and East Mino to eliminate the living forces of the Saito family, I hope you will serve my Oda family according to this policy in the future." Oda Nobunaga glanced around, and all the retainers of the Oda family agreed in unison.
