Tensho three years.

Just as Nobunaga was provoked by Li Xiao and was about to discuss a decisive battle with Takeda with his retainers.

At this time, news came from Kyoto that Ishiyama Honganji Temple was unstable, and Ishiyama Honganji dispatched a momentum to unite with Miyoshi Yasunaga, the remnant of the Miyoshi clan, to attack Towada Castle in Settsu.

When Nobunaga heard the news, he immediately ordered the retainers in the retainers' meeting to raise troops to Ishiyama Honganji Temple.

After that, Nobunaga led an army of 10,000 out of and made a posture to attack Miyoshi Yasunaga's main castle and Takayayama Castle.

As the last general of the Miyoshi family, Yasunaga Miyoshi did his best to fight with Nobunaga, and the two armies fought fiercely at Fudo Sakaguchi, resulting in the death of the Oda general Ito Sansuke.

However, Nobunaga still fought to the death, repelled Miyoshi Yasunaga's army, and advanced to Takaya Castle.

With the arrival of reinforcements from the Oda family, more than 100,000 reinforcements from Wakasa, Omi, Mino, Owari, Ise, Tango, Tanba, Harima, and Settsu arrived at Takaya Castle.

This more than 100,000 troops once again set a new record for the Oda army, and Nobunaga's move was also to show the strength of the Oda family to the world.

Faced with the unprecedented army of the Oda family, Honganji collapsed without a fight, and retreated to the stone mountain to defend to the death.

And Miyoshi Kangchang is also stubbornly defending the high-rise city.

Nobunaga's army set fire to the crops around Ishiyama Honganji Temple, looted and slaughtered the people of the Ichizan clan.

He then ordered a large army to attack Ishiyama Honganji Temple, Shin-Hori Castle in the middle of Takaya Castle, in order to cut off the connection between the two castles.

After two days of fierce fighting, Shinhori Castle fell, and the castle commander Tokawa and his party were killed, while another person, Kasai Naganobu, was captured and executed, and the Oda army was beheaded one hundred and seventy ranks.

At this point, Miyoshi Yasunaga knew that he was powerless to return to heaven, and surrendered to Nobunaga through the intermediary of Matsui Yukan.

The remnants of the Miyoshi family in also disappeared.

Immediately, the Oda family besieged Ishiyama Honganji Temple with an army of 100,000 troops, vowing to recreate the scene of Mt. Hiei here, destroy the last obstacle in, and completely erase the Pure Land Shinshu.

Honganji Temple knows that Nobunaga is not empty words, and in Hokuriku and Nagashima, more than 100,000 or 200,000 Ichijo sect followers were slaughtered for Nobunaga.

Wherever Nobunaga passed, the followers of the sect were rivers of blood.

The head of Ishiyama Honganji Temple appeared like a master, knowing that the Dharma difficulty was at hand, but he did not hesitate to stick to the main mountain of Ishiyama and fought with the Oda family until one soldier was killed.

As the last base of to dare to resist Nobunaga, tens of thousands of disciples of the Xiang sect were ready to be martyred, and decided to defend the castle and fight with the Oda family to the end.

It is obvious that the disciples of the upper and lower and the same sect are relying on the name of Odawara Castle, which is known as the same name as Odawara Castle, and the stone mountain is a great palace.

(ps: When I first hit Taiko, faced Ishiyama Honganji, there were no days when I had a handful of snot and tears.) ）

Now on the town of Shangtai in the Great Gobo of Ishiyama, the bell that warns the world has been ringing sharply one after another.

The bells are ringing, and the law is about to be difficult!

The last stronghold of the Shozong in Japan has reached the final moment of World War I.

Tens of thousands of almost unarmed believers of the Yiyi Sect rushed to Shishan to live and die with the main mountain.

But flesh and blood are no match for big barrels and iron cannons.

The main mountain on which Ishiyama Honganji has relied and the fortified castle of Ishiyama Honganji are like mud castings before the new large cylinder of the Oda Army, and they are not vulnerable at all.

Li Xiao didn't expect that his innovative big tube tactics not only brought convenience to his ability to conquer the city, but also benefited the Oda family a lot.

Historically, the Oda family besieged Ishiyama Honganji Temple for ten years, and suddenly became vulnerable in front of the big tube.

Ishiyama Honganji is in a hurry!

In the second year of Tensho, April 12.

A grand ceremony was held at Koyasan Seungkein Temple.

Koyasan is the main mountain of the Shingon sect, which is as famous as Mt. Hiei of Tendai, and most of the Sengoku daimyo have placed their shrines here.

This day is the third year since Shingen Takeda died of illness.

Koyasan Seikeiin Temple was held to make offerings to Shingen's Japanese card. …,

And at the same time Kai's Takeda family.

At Kai Suwa Shrine, another funeral ceremony for Shingen was also held.

In front of Shingen's shrine, Takeda Katsuyori, Takeda Nobuyo, Yama Shokei, Baba Nobubo, Naito Masatoyo, Oyamada Nobushige, Anayama Nobuyuki, Sanada Masayuki, Katsushi Kibe, Nagasaka Mitsuken, Tsuchiya Shoji, Hara Masain and other generals wore mourning clothes to pay tribute to the most outstanding governor of the Takeda family.

However, the ceremony did not go smoothly at all.

When Takeda Katsuyori and his entourage were going up the mountain at the shrine, the eaves of the torii gate of the Suwa Shrine suddenly collapsed, and on the way on, a board bridge on the road collapsed for no reason, and three or four ashigaru fell into the water and drowned.

All this seems to indicate some ominous sign in the eyes of people with ulterior motives.

Towards the end of the ceremony, a messenger from Ishiyama Honganji Temple arrived at Suwa Shrine asking for help.

He sent a letter of help from the Venerable Master himself.

According to the letter, Ishiyama Honganji Temple was in danger, and the siege cylinder of the Oda army was unstoppable, and the followers of Honganji Temple were almost flesh and blood against the bombardment of the Oda army's large iron cannon.

The battle was terrible.

When the letter for help was delivered to Takeda Katsuyori, all the retainers had mixed reactions.

In the Wagasaki Pavilion, the retainers of the Takeda family had a fierce debate over whether to send troops to rescue and contain the offensive of the Oda army.

When Nobunaga dispatched an army of more than 100,000 to attack Ishiyama Honganji, all the retainers led by Yama Masakei, Baba Nobubo, and Naito Masatyo felt that it was not the best decision to shake the Oda family when it was in full swing.

Moreover, it was still the busy farming season at this time, and if the Takeda family did their best to mobilize the peasants to participate in the war, then there would definitely be famine all over the country next year, and the reduction of the army would not be the opponent of Nobunaga's army at all.

In the middle of the main hall, Yamayama Masakei loudly Takeda Katsuyori said, "This is the trap set by Nobunaga and Ieyasu for our Takeda family, just to lure us into sending troops. ”

"Lord of the museum, Nobunaga destroyed Honganji Temple in one fell swoop, and then used troops in Kanto, and the family also has Kai Shinano Mountain to defend, as long as the retainers of the family are sincere and consistent, why worry about Oda's attack, but if it is a war, it will be a battle of the country, so it is a reckless act."

Takeda Katsuyori looked at Yama Prefecture Changjing, and the two of them were red from their loud statements, stood up, and said: "Both of them are old ministers who have followed their ancestors for a long time, and they should know that there are more than 80 battles in the life of their late father, and there are only two battles in their lives when they are forced to defend!" ”

"The sharpest spear will definitely beat the strongest shield, and the defense of the fortified city will only make the cavalry of our family dominate the world, and it is useless! My Takeda family's strategy is only to attack, and I think even if my father is still here, he will make the same decision as me! ”

Speaking of this, Takeda Katsuyori paused for words and said loudly: "I have made up my mind, send a large army, send troops to the Tokugawa family, and rebel against Okuhira Nobumasa's Nagashino Castle." ”

Under the decision of Takeda Katsuyori, coupled with the strong support of Sanada Masayuki and Katsushi Kibe of the retainers, he finally passed the Tokugawa family to besiege Wei and save Zhao in order to force Nobunaga to abandon the offensive of Ishiyama Honganji.

In the third year of Tianzheng, April 25.

The Takeda family mobilized 15,000 troops from the Tsushigasakikan to attack Mikawa, and the purpose was Nagashino Castle!
