The mountain castle is a fortress built on the mountain, and it is defended by various defensive facilities through the steepness of the mountain itself and the advantages of the high ground. Because it was specially built for defense, the mountain castle was a sign of easy defense and difficult attack in this era.

Although the mountain castle also has many disadvantages, such as inconvenience to live in, limited scale, etc., for the daimyo who have been in war all year round, the mountain castle can give them more security.

And Inaba Mountain Castle is the best among mountain castles. This made the generals of the Oda family very difficult, and although they pondered under the orders of Oda Nobunaga, it was obvious that it was not realistic to think of a way to capture such a fortified castle in a short time.

"Lord, why don't you test it first." Katsuya Shibata suggested.

Oda Nobunaga heard this and nodded, after all, now Saito Ryuxing is clearly waiting for the attack of the Oda army, if his side does not move for a long time, it will inevitably fall into the morale of Party B. And Oda Nobunaga also wanted to see with his own eyes whether the legendary Mino's first fortified castle was as difficult to fight as the legend said.

Speaking of which, Oda Nobunaga is also a little depressed, since he succeeded to the throne, he has launched several attacks on Mino, but none of them have been able to hit Inabayama Castle. In other words, I didn't even see the shadow of Mt. Inaba. And now, facing this one of the world's most fortified cities for the first time is a hard battle.

Yes, it was a hard battle, and although there were more than 20,000 people on the side of the Oda army, many of them were the Mino Hao clan who had just surrendered. And in order to curry favor with the new master, they completely mobilized all the combat power that could be mobilized in the territory. But in this way, it is obviously difficult to guarantee combat effectiveness.

The Oda army attacked Inabayama Castle like a tide, and in Inabayama Castle, countless arrows fell on the charging Oda army, and from time to time some unlucky eggs fell to the ground.

Commanding the battle between the two sides were Shibata Katsuie and Nagai Michitoshi, and neither Oda Nobunaga nor Saito Ryuko paid much attention to the temptation of the first day. Because they all know very well that this war is not something that can be fought in a day or two.

"Tut, this Inabashan looks really hard to fight~ Chongzhi, how did you say you took this fortified city in the first place?" Oda Yoshinobu sat in the shade under the tree and asked with a smile. He and his troops did not go into battle with the army, and Oda Nobunaga did not delegate any tasks to him. So he casually made an excuse and took Chiyo Mochizuki and Shigeharu Takenaka to find this good place.

Shigeharu Takenaka responded to Oda Yoshinobu's ridicule with silence again, and to be honest, what could he say? Could it be that Oda Yoshinobu told that everything was arranged by Saito Ryuko? Apparently impossible!

Shigeharu Takenaka's silence did not surprise Oda Yoshinobu, and he didn't plan to ask anything, after all, he could guess the general situation. "Then Chongzhi, if you are now the general of your own family, how will you break through this fortified city?" Oda Yoshinobu hugged Chiyo Mochizuki beside him into his arms, and asked casually while feeling the beauty of the delicate body in his arms.

This time, Shigeharu Takenaka was not silent, "Mt. Inaba is a rare fortified castle in the world, from the construction of the three princes of the road, the rebuilding of the righteous dragon princes, and now the reinforcement of His Royal Highness Saito, the defense system of Mt. Inaba can be said to be flawless. Even if I were to take command, there would be only two ways to choose between storming or besieging the city. Shigeharu Takenaka said in a deep voice.

Shigeharu Takenaka had actually thought about how to capture Inabayama Castle, not that he had any other ideas, but for a samurai who wanted to become a famous general, how to break through the fortified castle was obviously a subject that had to be learned. And Mt. Inaba, without a doubt, is a pretty good reference.

It's a pity that he still doesn't have much to do with all the defense systems of Inabayama Castle when he knows all the defense systems very well.

"That's it~" Oda Yoshinobu replied casually, and then suddenly looked at Shigeharu Takenaka and smiled, "I heard that Shigeji your younger brother is still in Inabayama Castle?" ”

"Yes, although he has done a great rebellion, His Royal Highness Saito does not blame his younger brother for this, and he is still a retainer of the Saito family." Shigeharu Takenaka heard this, and although he didn't know why, he still said honestly.

"Then Ando-sama and their family are also in Mt. Inaba, right?" Oda Yoshinobu said lightly.

This sentence suddenly made Shigeharu Takenaka vigilant, and at the same time hesitated, because he didn't know whether to say it or not. said that, I'm afraid that Oda Yoshinobu will guess something, and if I don't say it, I'm afraid that Oda Yoshinobu will suspect something.

Just as he was in trouble, Oda Yoshinobu's voice came again.

"Chongzhi, you should know, I very much hope that you can become my retainer~"

"Yes, Oda-sama's appreciation has moved me very much, but ......" Shigeharu Takenaka said quickly, although he had said this he didn't know how many times, but this time, he was interrupted by Oda Yoshinobu in the middle of the conversation.

"I know what you're trying to say, but that's before. How about we make a deal these days? Oda Yoshinobu looked at Shigeharu Takenaka and asked with a chuckle.

Looking at Oda Yoshinobu's smile, I don't know why, Shigeharu Takenaka's back was instantly soaked, because Oda Yoshinobu's words and expressions made him have a very bad feeling.

Seeing Shigeharu Takenaka's appearance, Oda Yoshinobu smiled again, "As long as you promise to be my retainer, then...... I can guarantee that the three of them are still the retainers of the Oda family! ”

"Boom!"

Oda Yoshinobu's words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, and he couldn't react for a long time, he looked at Oda Yoshinobu dumbfounded, and after half a sound, he forced a smile and said, "Oda-sama, although my father-in-law did not send troops to participate in the war this time, but after all, he rebelled against many wealthy families of Nishimino for the sake of the Oda family, and there is no merit and hard work......"

Shigeharu Takenaka kept explaining, he didn't know what Oda Yoshinobu had guessed, but he knew that he must not show the slightest flaw now.

Hearing this, Oda Yoshinobu shook his head, "Actually, I originally wanted to continue to play with you, but not long ago, I didn't think it was necessary. And...... I really want to be able to accept a retainer like you. ”

Regarding Oda Yoshinobu's words, Shigeharu Takenaka did not respond, but just stared at Oda Yoshinobu. Seeing this, Oda Yoshinobu showed a bright smile, "Do you know why I and my troops didn't go into battle?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Shigeharu Takenaka's expression suddenly dimmed, because he already knew what Oda Yoshinobu was going to say next.

Sure enough, Oda Yoshinobu's next words confirmed Takenaka Shigeji's conjecture, "I'm waiting for Ando Mamoru to take care of them~" Oda Yoshinobu's words made Takenaka Shigeharu desperate. Although the battle under Inabayama Castle is still going on, and the gates of Inabayama are still as stable as Mount Tai, Shigeharu Takenaka has already seen the future of the Saito family.

He didn't know how Oda Yoshinobu knew, and it didn't matter anymore. The important thing is that Oda Yoshinobu already knew, which means that Oda Nobunaga also knew, so Saito Ryuko's plan was completely bankrupt. With the Oda family already prepared, can Mamoru Ando and others still have the desired effect? Apparently impossible.

Silence, I don't know how long it took, Shigeharu Takenaka said slowly, "I can promise Lord Oda to become your retainer and swear allegiance to you, but there are two more conditions in the next." ”

"Say it~ As long as I can do it, feel free to mention it~" Oda Yoshinobu heard this and whistled in victory. He didn't blame Shigeharu Takenaka, because he knew that if he didn't agree, then even if the Saito family perished, Shigeharu Takenaka wouldn't be his retainer. Even if he forcibly left Shigeharu Takenaka behind, or threatened him with Mamoru Ando, I'm afraid he wouldn't dedicate all his strength to himself.

Hearing Oda Yoshinobu's answer, Shigeharu Takenaka was inexplicably moved in his heart. Although he was forcibly left here by Oda Yoshinobu and is now even more threatened, he has to admit that Oda Yoshinobu seems to really appreciate him. As a samurai, this appreciation was clearly a dream.

After stabilizing his emotions, Shigeharu Takenaka looked at Oda Yoshinobu and said in a deep voice, "First, I hope that Lord Oda will try his best to rescue the families of Shimo, Zaixia's father-in-law and others. It's clear that this is too difficult, but I still hope that Oda-sama can do his best. ”

"No problem." Oda Yoshinobu replied directly without thinking about it, after all, he was just trying his best~

"Second, please let Lord Oda and His Royal Highness Oda spare His Highness Saito!" Shigeharu Takenaka said, bowing respectfully in front of Oda Yoshinobu.

"This ......" Oda Yoshinobu hesitated when he heard this, if it was the pig-headed dragon in history or in the game, Oda Yoshinobu didn't bother to care whether he lived or died. But now this Saito Ryuxing ......

After thinking about it, Oda Yoshinobu said to Shigeharu Takenaka very seriously, "Shigeji, I admire you very much, but you should also be very clear about Saito Ryuxing's ability and talent. The most I can guarantee is that Saito Ryuko can live well and even give him a territory. But let him go, impossible! ”

Oda Yoshinobu is no longer the innocent little ghost he used to be at this time, and if Saito Ryuko escapes, Oda Yoshinobu knows very well what the consequences will be. After all, there are too many enemies of the Oda family in the future, and if there is a more mature Saito Ryuxing to help them, it is obviously not what Oda Yoshinobu wants to see.

Hearing this, after being silent for a long time, Shigeharu Takenaka bowed down deeply again, "My subordinate Shigeji Takenaka has seen the lord!" ”
