In the Oda army's main formation, Shibata Katsuya and others sat on both sides, watching Kinoshita Hideyoshi present the heads of Asai Nagamasa and his son with an unhappy face. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info I have to say that Kinoshita Hideyoshi's luck is quite good, after the inner city was breached, Kinoshita Hideyoshi was stunned to rush ahead of Oda Yoshinobu, Shibata Katsuie, Sakuma Nobumori, Takigawa Kazuki and other votes, and killed the castle tower and cut off the heads of Asai Nagamasa's father and son.

Of course, Oda Yoshinobu was not in the ranks of unhappiness, he just watched this scene and sighed in his heart, "Is this the power of fate?" Even if I rob me of so much credit, I still have a chance to come out. ”

Not to mention that Oda Yoshinobu was silently studying the authenticity of fate, Oda Nobunaga just glanced at the two heads and asked the little surname to put them away. Then, looking at Kinoshita Hideyoshi, he said in a deep voice, "Monkey, you did a good job, and after the Asakura family is eliminated, I won't treat you badly!" ”

"Thank you, my lord!" Kinoshita Hideyoshi bowed to the ground and said loudly. Speaking of which, although he got the head, Kinoshita Hideyoshi actually didn't think too much about it, after all, Asai Nagamasa's father and son committed suicide by seppuku.

Nodding, Oda Nobunaga looked at Kinoshita Hideyoshi and said again, "Then, you can stay and do the work of sweeping the tail." I don't want to see the enemy behind our army again! At the end of the sentence, Oda Nobunaga's tone became very cold.

"Please rest assured!" Kinoshita Hideyoshi agreed without thinking about it.

Then, Oda Nobunaga glanced around at everyone, stood up and said loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, now that the Asai family has perished, half of the family's goal has been achieved. Next, it's time to crusade against the Asakura family again! ”

"Whoa!!"

"Changxiu! Give you 10,000 people, still in charge of Wakasa country! Oda Nobunaga looked at Niwa Nagahide and said in a deep voice. For the strategy of Wakasa Province, he does not plan to change people, after all, the last time against Wakasa Province, Niwa Nagahide did a very good job.

"Yes!"

"The rest of you, early tomorrow morning, march to the Asakura family!" Oda Nobunaga said loudly.

"Whoa, whoa!"

After the dissolution of the military council, Kinoshita Hideyoshi did not leave directly, but pleaded to Oda Nobunaga, "My lord, can you let your subordinates persuade Isono to surrender?" He was an old retainer of the Asai family, and if he could persuade him to surrender, it would definitely be easier to completely pacify Omi. ”

"Okay, you monkey, you actually hit me with the idea?" Hearing this, Oda Nobunaga shook his head and smiled, how could he not see Kinoshita Hideyoshi's purpose? Helping is fake, and it is true to hope that Isono will become his retainer. However, Oda Nobunaga did not object to this, because Kinoshita Hideyoshi's retainers were indeed a little shabby.

The next day, Oda Nobunaga continued to lead his army to Echizen, and the news of the destruction of the Asai family spread throughout in a short time.

"Is the Asai family dead?" Matsunaga Shu looked at the information in his hand and muttered to himself, "What a bunch of waste...... Matsunaga Shu shook his head, Matsunaga Shu threw the information aside, and then summoned Matsunaga and Honda Masanobu to gather troops and prepare to support Hanoi Province.

Regarding Matsunaga Xiu's order, Matsunaga didn't think much about it, but Honda Masanobu's eyes flickered a little, "It seems that the lord and the Oda family are not of the same mind......" However, he didn't say much, he didn't have a good impression of the Oda family.

It was not for nothing that Matsunaga Shu chose to support Hanoi first, because the enemy here is weaker and also closer. And as long as he defeats the Miyoshi family, he can go to support Katsuryuji Castle with Maeda Toshiya and others. In this way, the crisis in both Setzu and Hanoi was resolved.

It's just a pity that Matsunaga Shu is smart, but Miyoshi is not stupid. The Miyoshi trio, who were also very concerned about the situation in Omi, retreated to Izumi Province on the day they learned that the Asai family had been destroyed. The same was true of the shogunate coalition forces that attacked Katsuryuji Castle, which also caused Matsunaga to shake around, and finally had no choice but to retreat to Yamato.

Well, the offensive of the coalition forces failed again, and the Asakura family was undoubtedly abandoned by them. However, it is obvious that the Asakura family at this time did not bother to pay attention to the situation in at all.

In the face of the attack of the Oda family, Kanesaki Mijo was once again lost in an instant. Once again, the Oda army besieged Koya Pass Castle. And Wakasa is also going well, with a Niwa Nagahide who turned out to be not too easy on Wakasa Province's strategy, almost just sent a few envoys, and let a large number of wealthy families in Wakasa Country turn against him.

One by the valley city.

"What's going on?! Haven't those monks in Kaga sent reinforcements yet?! Asakura yelled angrily. As early as after learning that the Oda family had attacked Otani Castle, Asakura Yoshikei sent people to Kaga to ask for help. It's just that when the Oda army surrounded Koya Pass, there was still no movement on Kaga's side.

For Asakura Yoshikage's anger, the retainers sitting below lowered their heads, they didn't know what Kaga Isshozong was doing, but they understood that reinforcements might not appear.

Seeing the appearance of these people, Asakura Yoshikage became angry again, and he kept cursing the Ichimune, the Asai family, and the Oda family, but this was obviously useless. In the end, in desperation, he gathered 5,000 people again and personally led the army to Muya Pass. This is the last force that the Asakura family can mobilize.

And in Kiya Pass, Asakura Keiken looked at the Oda army outside the city that continued to storm with a blank expression. At this time, in Kiya Pass, because of the onslaught of the Oda army, the morale of the Asakura army was getting lower and lower. Although Asakura Keijian continued to boost morale, the effect was not great. In fact, even he himself, under such onslaught from the Oda army, could not recognize the despair that emerged in his heart.

Last time, it was also Koya Pass, and the Asakura army was pressed by the Oda army in Kiya Pass Castle and fought without the power to fight back. And this time, the same is true, and because of the addition of Oda Yoshinobubu, the Asakura army is even more difficult to defend. If it weren't for Oda Yoshinobu not wanting to lose too much, and the Koya Pass was really strong, I'm afraid it would have been lost a long time ago.

"I hope the lord can bring reinforcements soon," ...... Asakura Keiken thought.

It's just a pity that the castle of Koya Pass still failed to survive the arrival of reinforcements after all, and when Oda Yoshinobu came out of the battle and killed the city wall under the fearful gaze of the Asakura army, the city was broken, which was already an inevitable thing.

"Asakura family...... It's over......" Asakura Keiken thought bitterly as he looked at the Oda Army who had entered the city.

In 1568, on June 8, the 11th year of Eiroku, the Oda army captured Kiya Pass, the gateway to Echizen Province, and the name of the Asakura family and the general of the general Asakura Keikin committed suicide.
