"Woo~~~!" The distant sound of the horns dispelled the tranquility of the early morning, and a large flock of birds and sparrows were startled in the dense forest of Guanyin Temple Mountain not far away. With the reminder of the wake-up call, the entire barracks was like a huge beehive, and began to be busy and noisy.

"It's spectacular!" I stood in front of the camp gate and sighed at the magnificent castle on the hill. The city of Guanyin Temple is built according to the mountain, the outer city wall of five or six zhang high firmly guards the whole city, and the castle is divided into several large areas, each of which is built in the dangerous position of the mountain peak and pass, which is both independent and dependent on each other. In terms of style and pattern, it is clear that the castle was built one after another at different times, but there is no dissonance in the slightest, which is somewhat similar to the Potala Palace.

Compared to Qibu Castle, Kannonji Castle is not larger. Qibu City is superior to the abrupt and dangerous terrain, while the strength of Guanyin Temple City is that the system is tight, and the two can be said to have their own strengths. In particular, the location of this place not only tightly controls the road from the eastern country to Beijing, but also overlooks Lake Biwa. As early as the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Ashikaga clan relied on the Sasaki clan, the ancestor of the Rokkaku family, to successfully resist the Hokhata Kenji army from Oshu at Kannonji Castle.

Rokkaku Yoshixian, Yoshiji father and son were defeated in the battle of Yuzuo three days ago and fled in embarrassment, most of the generals under their command had been scattered, and finally the two men fled back to the lair with less than 5,000 remnants of the defeated generals. Oda Nobunaga chased after him and commanded a large army to surround Kannonji Castle from the east, west, and south. (Lake Biwa to the north) I've been looking up to the famous city of Kannonji for a long time, so I'm here to see it this morning! I also slept soundly last night, although this is in the military, but the opposite side can no longer be called an "enemy"!

"Lord, it's time for breakfast!" Kusunoki Mitsunari walked out of the camp gate and came behind me.

"Oh, let's go back then!" I agreed, and led Shima Katsuto, who was with me, to walk back with him. "Is everybody up?"

"Yes, it's all in your tent!" Kusunoki replied.

"Huh?" I was a little surprised. "Caizo and Keiji are up too?" These two guys were lazy when they were fine, so I put them together.

"Yes!" Kusunoki nodded. "They woke up early today!"

"That's a rarity!" I laughed. "Although there will be a siege today, we will still not be directly involved in the battle. Although Keiji and Caizo are positive, they may still be busy today! ”

"Actually......" Kusunoki Mitsunari said with a slight smile. They were called up! ”

"Anyone else has that much ability?" I have personally tried this "project", but it has not been successful. "I really want to ask this 'master' for advice, is it Nagano-sensei?"

"No, but he's waiting for you in the tent!" We were already outside my tent by this time, and Kusunoki Guangcheng bent down to open the curtain for me.

"Why are you here?" I was shocked by the fact that there were a lot of people in the tent, and in addition to my retainers, there were Maeda Toshiie, the Hashiba brothers, Asano Nagamasa, and Ikeda Tsuneko. "Why are you all so together today? I'm going to attack Guanyin Temple City in a while, so I don't want to make any preparations! With that, I found a place to sit down.

"Didn't you get noticed?" Toshiya Maeda looked at me strangely.

"Nope!" I shook my head. "What is it?"

"He doesn't know!" Ikeda Hengxing said unconcernedly. "Our lord originally asked me to inform, but he went out! I didn't bother to look for it, so I waited here, and then you came. Tell you......" he shoved me. "We are not familiar with this place from afar, and the lord is afraid of slipping heavily in the morning, so the attack time is set at one o'clock in the afternoon, and the time is still very large!"

"Oh! Okay, I got it. I said yes and nodded.

"What do you mean by 'okay'?" He screamed with exaggerated glare. "Where's the rice? I'm here early in the morning! You've been busy for most of the day, you're not going to let me leave like that, are you? ”

"You're really good enough to cheat!" I said helplessly as I had breakfast served, and in addition to the standard rice balls, bean soup, and pickles provided by the army, my breakfast also included corned beef, ham, and butter. It is not allowed to set up its own stove in the barracks, and it is not allowed to buy civilian goods except for quartermasters, but there is no rule that you are not allowed to bring your own dry food, so I prepare things that can be eaten directly. In addition, the teenagers I sent to study have not yet returned, so although the butter and beef can be made homemade, the ham is imported from Daming. "My rations and you received them in the same place, how can it be as if my food here is better than yours?"

"Do you need me to tell me why?" Ikeda slathered some butter on a piece of ham and stuffed it into his mouth with the rice balls. “…… You're ...... Guys are always going to ...... Carry...... Hide some ...... Good stuff, I ...... I...... How can you let it go so easily! He craned his neck and swallowed.

"Lord Lijia, why did you come together?" I turned my head and asked Toshiya Maeda. While Ikeda Tsuneko would come to have a meal when he had nothing to do, Maeda Toshiya and the "monkeys" didn't do that for no reason.

"It's not because I ate it last time!" It was Asano Nagamasa who rushed to speak, and it was uncomfortable enough to think about him after holding it for so long. "This time it's similar to the last attack on Mt. Inaba, so let's see if you have any good ideas!"

"Please! Bosses, what do you think of me?! I couldn't help but laugh. I've never been to Guanyin Temple Mountain before, and I'm just as blind as you here! Besides, the Guanyin Temple City has been repaired intermittently for three or four hundred years, where can I find the people who knew it at that time? I'm just a mortal, and I haven't learned any spells, so why don't you let me go! ”

"I said it a long time ago, you guys are blind!" Keiji Maeda said with a yawn. "This is something that His Highness Nobunaga should worry about, and no matter how much you care, I won't give you this city!"

"Shut up!" Maeda Toshiya rebuked angrily. "I sent you here to ask you to learn from Lord Zhuxing, but what have you learned in such a long time? I see that your age, the amount of food, and the amount of money you are all good, but you can't stand it long! Then he said to me, "Tadabei, I think you gave him too much money, and it won't do anyone any good!" ”

"Forget it, it's actually nothing!" I saw that Keiji was muttering on the side but didn't reply, so I said for him: "He actually helped me a lot!" ”

"Is there really nothing that can be done?" Hashiba Hideyoshi frowned, as if he was very unwilling.

"Not really!" I shook my head. “…… But the Hexagon family has reached this point, and the following things should not be too difficult! "As far back as I can remember, Oda Nobunaga's attack on Kannonji Castle didn't seem to take much effort.

Although everyone heard me say this, most of them still had some worried expressions.

********************************************************

"Everyone! The largest castle on Kamiraku Road is right in front of you......" In front of the large tent of the Chinese army, Oda Nobunaga pointed to the castle on the hill and said as he spat at the stars, and Asai Nagamasa and Tokugawa Ieyasu were standing beside him.

The sight in front of me is really interesting! Obviously, the Hexagonal family is dying, but they are still boasting about the arduousness of the task, and it is compared to the three. As far as I am concerned, the "face" significance of this city is much higher than the actual significance, and they all want to take this opportunity to show the ability of their people!

"Attack!" Oda Nobunaga finally put an end to his lengthy mobilization speech, and the attacking troops rushed out at the sound of his order. Looking at their enthusiasm, I suddenly remembered the mountaineering competition, but I didn't know if there were any "trophies".

After watching it for a while, everyone felt that something was wrong. "Why don't you have a rolling log? Don't be in an ambush, right? I don't know who whispered his doubts out. In a few moments, the leading troops entered the city.

"What's going on?" Oda Nobunaga hurriedly asked the herald who had just run down the mountain.

"I ...... Our army has taken the city! The herald said with a strange expression.

"Occupied?!" Oda Nobunaga was taken aback. "So occupied? What about Hexagonal Yoshixian? Did you catch it? ”

"Nobody...... It's an empty city! The herald said awkwardly.

"How could there be no one?" Asai Nagamasa was puzzled, and his brows twisted into a pimple. "We've besieged the city, huh?"

"Back to His Highness Asai, the enemy retreated by boat from Lake Biwa, it looks like it was last night!"

Hearing this answer, the three "big men" looked at each other and were speechless for a long time.
