After handing over all matters of Inuyama Castle with Ikeda Tsuneko, the clan did not leave, but waited here for Oda Nobunaga's 800-strong army, as well as the arrival of monkeys.

Within two days, Kinoshita Toyoshiro and his two retainers, Kinoshita Koichiro and Asano Nagamasa, appeared in Inuyama Castle, Kinoshita Toyoshiro because of his merit in the separation of soldiers and farmers, Nobunaga gave him 300 stone Chiyuki, so this time he came with two retainers, and also brought twenty ashigaru.

When Kinoshita Fujiyoshiro saw the two hundred banners of the clan, he was envious in his heart, and couldn't help but sigh, if these three hundred troops were under his command, how good it would be.

After all, the clan is higher than him in terms of status, so the number of courtesies that should be there must be is still no less, Kinoshita Toyoshiro immediately led his retainers and said respectfully: "Hideyoshi has seen Takayama-sama, I don't know if Takayama-sama has any good ways to capture Higashiminon?" ”

Now the clan just wants to go home early and see his wife and children as soon as possible, so he has already planned to attack Higashimino in two ways, so it should be a lot faster. I only heard the clan say: "In this way, divide the ashigaru sent by the lord into two, you lead 500 to attack from the southwest, and I will march from the southeast, you and I will meet outside Kajida Castle, and then attack Kajida Castle together, so that we should be able to complete the task of Higashimino Raider within half a year." ”

You can not care about other places in Higashimino, but the Kajida Castle clan does not dare to take it lightly, this city is the first important town in Higashimino, Kajida Castle is not only high and deep, but also has 1500 ashigaru guards, and the city lord Sato Kii Mamoru is the first person in Higashimino, I heard that this person is quite courageous, but it is not comparable to the small miscellaneous fish that Saruji Castle Taji sees repairing Liang. In order to avoid the gutter from capsizing, the clan only had to act carefully.

Kinoshita Toyoshiro cares about this, after hearing that the clan gave him more than half of the military strength, he was already overjoyed, although he was still slightly inferior in terms of total strength, but he was confident that he had made a great contribution.

Before meeting with the clan, Kinoshita Tojiro was afraid that the clan would not divide the troops to him, if this was the case, then he would also miss this opportunity to make meritorious contributions, so on the way to Inuyama Castle, he thought a lot of words to persuade the clan to divide the troops, but who knew that before these words came out, the matter was solved perfectly as he thought, how could this not make him feel ecstatic.

Soon, after the division of the army, the clan and Kinoshita Fujiyoshiro went their separate ways, the clan led six hundred troops to kill into Higashiminon, where they passed, the Hao clan looked at the wind and surrendered, even if there were a few blind Hao clans tried to resist, but with the dozens of peasant soldiers they led, under the attack of the clan Tai Shan, they were wiped out in an instant, and even a wave did not turn up.

Two months have passed in the blink of an eye. During these two months, there was not much time for the real attack, and most of the time was spent on pacifying the Hao family.

On this day, the clan leader has come to the outside of Unuma Castle, which is not far from Kajida Castle, as long as this small city is taken, then tomorrow it can reach outside Kajida Castle.

According to the previous practice, the clan clan took a hundred iron thorn horses to 50 meters outside the city, and shouted to the samurai on the city wall: "Listen to the samurai in the city, I am the general of the Oda family, the Takayama clan, and my lord has an order, as long as the city gate is opened and the Oda family is submitted, the lord promises to return to the people who are obedient, and they can continue to keep their family name and territory. ”

In the past, after hearing these words, the samurai in the castle would basically leave the city and return to obedience, but this time it was a little different, the lord of the castle, Jiro Saemon, was a die-hard faction of the Saito family, and even if he was martyred and loyal to the Saito family, he would never open the castle gate.

Moreover, when the Oda family began to attack Higashiminon, he was already prepared, and not only gathered all the banners, but even the peasants between the ages of 14 and 60 in the general, and distributed all the money in the castle to the people in addition to the weapons. In this way, he not only gathered 2,000 troops, but also had a very high morale.

As soon as the clan's words fell, I saw Osawa Jiro on the city wall pick up the only iron cannon in the city and pull the trigger on the clan.

"Be careful, lord!" The three retainers of Maeda Toshiya and others beside the clan shouted in unison.

Fortunately, the effective range of the iron cannon was only outside, and the projectile did not hit.

Jiro Osawa slammed the cannon to the ground and yelled, "This is my reply!" After speaking, I saw him draw the knife on his waist and shouted: "Kill me!" ”,

Suddenly, the city gate opened, and countless ashigaru killed from inside the gate, and when Osawa Jiro took out the iron cannon, the clan already knew that this would be the result, but they were only more than fifty meters away from the city, and in the blink of an eye, the enemy had already rushed to the front, and the clan had to command his subordinates to fight in a melee.

Nobunaga's spear is very strong in both attack and defense if it is lined up, but if the enemy rushes in front of him, the four-meter-long spear is useless, and he can't wave it if he wants to, and the iron spike can't launch an assault at such a close distance, so its combat power is also greatly reduced, and the only ones on the battlefield who are not affected are the ninja army and the childish sword ashigaru, but in front of the two thousand enemy troops with high morale, they are also a little insignificant.

Osawa Jiro originally wanted to kill out of the city, directly take the Takayama clan, but he was entangled by a member of the enemy general, if it weren't for the more than 20 banners around him, I'm afraid he would have died a long time ago, Osawa Jiro saw that he couldn't get out, so he hurriedly ordered other samurai to go to the battle clan, in his mind, as long as the Takayama clan can be obtained, the enemy can't retreat.

After receiving the order, the two samurai under the command of Jiro Osawa rushed towards the clan clan regardless of anything else. The martial arts of the clan are really commonplace, if you talk about learning skills, he can still have no worries, after all, they are all wooden knives, although it hurts, but he will definitely not die, but this is really on the battlefield, real swords and real guns against the enemy, then it is inevitable to be a little panicked, and the other party is still two samurai.

Seeing that the enemy had attacked, the clan knew that it was a critical juncture at this time, and he couldn't escape, otherwise the army would collapse, and if he really turned around and fled, the morale accumulated in the previous battles would also be gone. He grabbed the reins with one hand, gripped Muramasa with the other, and shouted at Masakatsu Wasuka, who was closer to him, for Masakatsu Wasuka to come to his aid.

"Takayama Clan, I, Yontaro Oi, have come to ask for your head!"

"Gaoshan Clan, take your life!"

In the blink of an eye, the two enemy samurai had already killed in front of him, and the clan clan was in a panic, and blocked the spear stabbed by the samurai with the sword in his hand, but although he blocked the spear, he couldn't block the sword handed out by the other samurai.

Is my Gaoshan clan going to be buried here today?
