Chapter 308: Good News (Today's Second Update)
Chapter 308 (Today's Second Update)
At the same time that the clan clan attacked the temple, Oda Nobunaga led the 5,000 banners and launched one onslaught after another on Nagashima Castle.
Outside Nagashima Castle, Nobunaga had already led a large army to attack for five days, but since Nagashima Castle was already a large castle in Kitaise, and since the last battle, Honganji Temple had decided to spend a lot of money to repair the castle to make it stronger and easier to defend, and there were 1,800 monks and soldiers in the castle to defend it, so even if Nobunaga launched a fierce attack on Nagashima Castle on Japan, he did not take the castle for a while.
Although the attack here was blocked, there were many good news in other places, first three days ago, Shibata Katsuie sent someone to deliver the news that Xibao Castle had been occupied by him, and after leaving behind the garrison of Biyao, he had led his army to join the army.
Immediately afterward, after receiving the battle report from Shibata Katsuie, less than an hour later, Hayashi Tongsheng received good news, he and Ikeda Hengxing won Tokuyama Castle, and after exterminating the remnants of the monks, Ikeda Hengxing had led 600 troops to support Sakuma Nobumori and attack Kuwana Castle, the second largest city in Kita-Ise.
Since these two pieces of news, in the last two days, countless pieces of good news have come, which has calmed Nobunaga's originally irritable heart.
Outside Nagashima Castle, the Oda army once again launched an offensive against the city, and Nobunaga sent 3,000 troops at one time to attack from all sides, according to his idea, even if he could not capture the castle, it would cause great casualties to the enemy in the city.
The Oda army has a total of 12,000 troops attacking Ise this time, and he can play such a war of attrition, but even if the temple has been raging in the past few months, he can't afford to consume so much.
In the beginning, as soon as the Oda army attacked, the monks would throw the rolling wood and stones they had accumulated before, which not only caused a lot of casualties to the Oda army, but also reduced the number of casualties on several sides.
However, Honganji really did not expect that since the attack of the Oda army was so fierce, he originally thought that the equipment for defending the city that could last for more than half a month was consumed by the Oda army in only four and a half days.
At the beginning, Honganji testified that he was still very proud, with these rolling wood stones, at least thousands of casualties to the Oda army, he thought that the Oda army would be frightened under such casualties, and the combat power would drop a lot, if so, although his army was small, but he was still confident that he would hold the city.
But who knows, the reality is contrary to their own ideas, Oda family Ashigaru is not only not intimidated by a large number of casualties, but launched an attack more and more fiercely, and the defensive equipment has been used up, only today half a day, the casualties of the monks and soldiers in the city have reached more than 100 people, if this continues, then it will not take a few days, Nagashima Castle will be broken by the Oda army, Honganji Temple's original smiling face, but also stiffened.
Outside the castle, Sasa Naimasa led 1,000 Oda family banners to attack the north of Nagashima Castle, Mino led the army under the command of the three people to attack the south, and the other heroes led their own forces to attack the east, while Kawajiri Hidetaka led 1,000 Oda family banners to attack the west.
Because the direction of his attack, the lord was clear at a glance, so he couldn't help Kawajiri Hidetaka not sell more strength, only to see him rushing to the front with a spear in hand, as soon as he engaged the enemy, he saw the spear in his hand flying up and down, picking three monks in a row, and venting all the anger accumulated in his heart for many years on these enemies who dared to hinder his promotion.
Kawajiri Hidetaka's current identity is only a general of the ashigaru.,This makes him feel very embarrassed.,Originally,Originally,He was very favored by the lord.,Even on par with Sasa Castle.,But since the Takayama clan came out of the Oda family.,After the rise of Kinoshita Toyoshiro,It's as if he was forgotten by the lord.。 …,
And with the continuous development of the family's strength and the increasing number of retainers, every time an important assessment meeting is held, he is no longer qualified to participate, even if he wants to apply for a task from the lord, he has no way to start.
To say that the ability of the Takayama clan is indeed outstanding, and he can have his current identity, although Kawajiri Hidetaka has hot eyes, he is not jealous, in his opinion, those who have the ability should be reused, there is nothing to say at all.
What annoys him the most is that Kinoshita Tojiro is not as good as himself in any way, and even his appearance is much worse than himself, to say that the only thing he is better than himself is that his wife Ning Ning is much more beautiful than his wife, but what does this have to do with the promotion status, now even he is a general, which is really infuriating.
I think that at the beginning, when he became the head of the ashigaru, Kinoshita Tojiro was still warming the straw sandals for the lord, which was a job that only the next person did, and he didn't even have a name at the time, but who would have thought that how long had it been, he was already a dignified Oda general, which was two levels higher than himself, which was really annoying.
But fortunately, this time the Ise Raider, the lord intends to suppress the Takayama clan, and Kinoshita Fujiyoshiro is staying in the territory to be responsible for defense, the lord didn't let him fight at all, and now the only threat to himself is Sasa Chengzheng, but he has only been promoted to a general not long ago, if so, it would be too unreasonable if he didn't get promoted.
And as long as he is promoted to a general, then, when the evaluation meeting is held in the future, he is also qualified to participate, as long as he applies for more tasks, it should not be difficult to catch up with or even surpass them.
Thinking of this, the spear in Kawajiri Hidetaka's hand was also a little faster, but no matter how hard he tried, the monks in the city seemed to be unable to kill him, and as soon as he stabbed one to death, two would make up for it.
The fierce attack lasted about a meal, and Nobunaga saw that the besieging army was exhausted, so he immediately ordered the withdrawal of the army, and after a rest, he attacked again.
In Nagashima Castle, taking advantage of the temporary rest of the Oda Army, Honganji Temple testified that monks with some identities were urgently summoned to the assessment room to discuss countermeasures.
I saw Honganji sitting on the main seat with a frown, even though he usually boasted of being resourceful, but in front of the tens of thousands of troops of the Oda army, he had no idea, so he had to summon the monks and Saito Ryuko and his retainers to brainstorm and see if they had any solutions to solve it.
