Outside Shangxiang City, among the 5,000 troops that have always been in place, there are only a small number of monks and warriors, and most of the others are all peasant soldiers armed with bamboo guns and no armor, they have been attacking for three days, but for a while, they still can't break through Shangxiang City.

In the enemy's main formation, Kato Kyoaki sat in the center, and the purpose of his participation this time was like most of the Matsudaira samurai, he was not really a believer in the Ichiji sect, and he participated in the riot just to make enough profits.

And he set his goal on Shangxiang City, which was also a decision made after some careful consideration. Although there are not many stone heights in Shangxiang City, they are the safest.

Kato Kyoaki couldn't help but think that although the Oda clan was strong, there was still a temple between Owari and Kamigo Castle, and if Oda Nobunaga sent a large army to help, it would inevitably be discovered by the monks of the temple, and they would never let them over, so it can be said that Kamigo Castle is now a lonely city of the Oda family. As long as you take it yourself, you will have enough confidence to hold it.

But he really didn't expect that this Shangxiang City would actually hold out for three days under the strong attack of his 5,000 army, which had already made Kato Kyoming furious.

In this formation, there were still two samurai sitting in the position of the hand, and they did not dare to speak when they saw that the lord had a gloomy face all the time.

After a while, I only heard Kato Kyoaki say in an unkind tone: "Now that the attack has been on for three days, and the city has not yet been broken, you two have something to say." ”

The two samurai saw that the lord's face was gloomy, and their hearts couldn't help but tighten, the two of them had commanded the army to launch more than a dozen fierce attacks on Shangxiang City in the past three days, but because those ashigaru under his command were just temporary patchwork, how could there be any combat power at all, every time they just attacked outside the city, just a dozen peasant soldiers were killed, and the rest were all defeated, and Shangxiang City did not occupy a large area, and each attack sent 500 people to attack from all sides, and this number was equivalent to the number of defenders in the city, How can the elite of the defenders in the city be comparable to these peasant soldiers.

However, although this is the case, however, the flag in the city has also been consumed by them, and I am afraid that if this continues, the city will be able to be breached in a day or two.

One of the warriors said, "My lord, now that a large number of enemies have been killed in the city, my subordinates think that we should continue to launch a fierce attack, and if we continue like this, it will not be long before the city is breached." ”

"How long is it going to take? I don't have the patience to wait any longer. ”

Another samurai spoke: "My lord, my subordinates have thought of a way, now there are more than 5,000 ashigaru under the command of the lord, and these ashigaru can be divided into 10 teams, and then launch a non-stop attack on Shangxiang City, so that no matter how elite the defenders in the city are, it is impossible to block this uninterrupted attack." Please also ask the Lord to decide. ”

After listening to this, Kato Kyoaki's eyes couldn't help but light up, this method is good, now that there are many people, I should give full play to the advantages of this large number of people, otherwise it will be too wasteful.

Kato Kyomei's haze for many days was swept away with the proposal of this strategy, only to hear him laugh and say: "Ha Lu Ha, good way, now I order you to implement it immediately, I will only give you one day, after one day, if you take the city, there will be a heavy reward, but if you don't take the city, then you will apologize." ”

The samurai's heart trembled when he heard this, but when he thought that he would receive a heavy reward after taking the castle, he immediately became excited, and after he said yes, he immediately went out of his main camp and gathered Ashigaru to begin the detachment.

At this moment, the clan was standing on the hill thousands of kilometers away from them to look out, he saw that the enemy army outside the city was taking turns to attack the city, he couldn't help frowning, the enemy army is too large, even if Maeda Toshiya leads the iron spur cavalry to carry out a surprise attack, I am afraid it will be difficult to kill the enemy army, and if it is not good, it will fall into a heavy siege, in that case, the gain will outweigh the loss.

But if you don't kill them, how can you go into the city to help? Thinking of this, the clan couldn't help but have a flash of inspiration, why should he clash head-on with the enemy, now that the enemy has begun to attack everywhere, then, the temple must be empty, and the temple is only a few miles away from his current position, as long as the temple is taken down...

Clan Zong Ha Lu Ha smiled, and immediately thought about it, Lao Tzu let you know what it means to encircle Wei and save Zhao! Thinking of this, the clan no longer hesitated, and immediately instructed Maeda Toshika: "Left, quickly send Ashigaru to the temple to investigate." I want to give a detailed account of the deployment of troops in this temple. ”,

After receiving the order, Maeda Toshiya immediately went down to make arrangements, and after the commander ordered the Iron Thorn Rider to change into the clothes of the villagers and leave quickly, the clan ordered the cavalry under him to continue to hide in the woods on the hill and wait for the order.

When Maeda Toshiie saw that the lord had sent someone to inquire about the situation at the temple, he already knew that the lord had probably placed the target of the attack there. However, he was a little worried in his heart, so he only heard him ask: "My subordinates dare to ask the lord, are you going to attack the temple?" ”

The clan was very relieved to see that Maeda Toshiya could understand his intentions, which also proved that he was not just a martial artist who could only wield a knife and a gun, but had the potential to take charge of his own affairs, but it was not enough for him to attack the temple, and when he could really understand his strategic intentions, then he could consider letting him lead the army independently.

Since Maeda Toshiya made an inquiry, the clan smiled and said, "That's right, I am indeed going to attack the Honshoji Temple, so that the enemy here will have to return to the army to rescue, and the crisis in Shangxiang City will be temporarily alleviated." ”

After hearing this, Maeda Toshiya was not impressed by these words, but asked reluctantly: "If you use the lord's trick, you can indeed solve the crisis of Shangxiang City, but if the enemy returns to the army to rescue, how can you defend the temple with a hundred iron spurs, so please think twice." ”

I saw that the clan continued to say: "Attack the city for the bottom, attack the heart for the top." Do you understand? ”

Maeda Toshiya pondered carefully, but he couldn't figure out how the lord would attack the heart anyway, and in his mind, even if he captured the temple and used it to hit the enemy's morale, as long as the enemy returned to the army and recaptured the temple, it would not have much impact on the enemy's morale at all. Thinking of this, I only heard Maeda Toshiya say: "Lord, please forgive my subordinates for being stupid, I really didn't think of how to attack my heart." ”

Seeing that there was nothing to do now, and that he was idle anyway, he told the thoughts in his heart.
