"Brother, can I go out of the Shiqimu family first?"

After thinking for a long time, Shikanosuke inquired.

"If that's what you think, you can."

Ji Qin naturally knew what Shikanosuke was thinking, temporarily loyal to himself, and used his own power to find an opportunity to revive the Niko family, which is understandable, as for Shikanosuke's loyalty, Ji Qin will not consider it, and even after Shikanosuke swore allegiance, there was no information about Kanosuke in the panel, and arrangements were made for Kanosuke.

"Since you are already loyal to the Qimu family, I also hope that you can do your best in the future, the current strategy of the family is the development of the territory, there is no chance to fight, Kanosuke, you temporarily serve as the general of the family, assist Honda Tadashi to train standing ashigaru, and then make arrangements when you have military achievements in the future."

"Yes, thank you, brother."

Shikanosuke received the order and retreated, and he was very satisfied with Ji Qin's arrangement, standing ashigaru is the main force of the Qimu family, as long as he goes out of the battle, he will have a lot of opportunities to be promoted, so that he can use the dark power of the Qimu family more.

Time flies very fast, in the blink of an eye is half a month, the Asa Weaving coalition army was formally formed, the time agreed by the two sides to jointly attack Mino was set on the first day of June, when the Asai army will not break through the Endo Naok headquarters 3,000 people as the vanguard, to the east to invade Mino, the two agreed to meet under the Saito family according to Inabayama Castle, after the siege of Inabayama Castle, the cage city battle.

These are all strategic decisions made by Ji Qin when he went to participate in the pre-war mobilization meeting, with Changzheng and others, although he will not actually participate in this war of aggression, but Ji Qin still needs to make suggestions.

It was less than three days before the agreed time to send troops, and all parts of the Asai family had already prepared their pre-war mobilization, and they only waited for Asai Nagamasa to give an order, and then invaded Mino with the power of thunder. The Owari Oda clan is also well prepared, and Mino's Saito Yoshiryu, although he got the news that the Asori family joined forces to attack Mino, he still spent a lot of time drinking.

Only Inaba Yitetsu and others were secretly anxious, constantly preparing for the war, and constantly reminding Saito Yoshiryu, but it was useless.

In the early morning of May 31, after making some mobilization in Sekigahara, the old pioneer general of the Asai family, Endo Naokei, led 3,000 people to drive out of the unbroken pass and kill the unbroken city not far away.

In the city, Yoshiharu was woken up by the surname, so he heard the news of Endo's killing, and hurriedly put on his full sleeve and climbed the watchtower on the castle tower, only to see a long dragon running towards him.

"Immediately notify all the samurai, organize and mobilize the peasants, retreat into the castle, abandon the castle town, prepare for the cage battle, and send a message to Ando, Inaba, and the three lords of the clan to ask for reinforcements."

"Yes!"

With the issuance of the order of the unbroken light rule, the entire unbroken city woke up like a giant beast, and the sound of hurrying to prepare for war was everywhere, and with the efforts of all the samurai, it was finally ready when Endo Naokyo arrived at the castle.

Naokei glanced at the Saito army on the top of the unbroken castle tree, and after making a preliminary judgment on the number of people, he gave a few orders in a deep voice, and the entire army formation slowly stopped, and 1,000 people began to build a fence around a dirt slope that was selected as the main camp, and 2,000 people continued to move forward, and when they reached the town of Bupo, 500 people rushed into the town and plundered it.

It's just that at this time, the townspeople of Bupo have almost escaped, so there are not many heads to harvest.

Guangzhi in the city did not break it, but his face was pale, and the green tendons of his hand holding the guardrail burst out, but he didn't say a word.

Half an hour later, the construction of the main formation was completed, and the Endo army returned to the main formation, and the two sides were separated by three miles, staring at each other.

In the afternoon, Endo Naokyo organized a wave of siege battles, and after leaving behind hundreds of corpses, it ended in failure, and the three Mino people, who received a letter from Mitsuji asking for help, also immediately gathered soldiers and horses, and quickly galloped to the aid of the city.

The next day, 5,000 men from Nagamasa's main camp marched out of Kotani Castle, and the rest of the retainers led a total of 10,000 troops and marched towards Nishimeno.

On the Owari side of the province, Nobunaga led 8,000 troops from Komakiyama Castle and sent troops to Higashimino to attack Urumo Castle (also known as Unuma Castle) and Saruki Castle, which were only one river away from Komakiyama Castle, and at the same time, arranged for his retainer Imu Tadaji to build a castle on Mt. Imu, not far from the two castles, in order to oppress the two castles.

Although the army was superior, it was still delayed by the two cities to attack.

On June 2, Asai Nagamasa's main camp reached the foot of the castle and gradually formed a siege of the castle, and the 800 men of the retainer Ogawa Yutada's headquarters encountered 3,000 men of the main camp of Ando Mamoru who came to support and were defeated. The rest of the departments were also damaged to a certain extent in the encounter with the Mino trio.

In fact, the three of Mino had already arrived near the city, and they only appeared at this time, in order to break the encirclement of the Asai family.

After that, the three of them joined forces together, and formed a horn with the unbroken city, and built this formation.

In the following days, the two sides were so deadlocked, although there were occasional small battles, but they were insignificant.

On the side of Higashimino, it was impossible to capture Urumo Castle and Saruki Castle for a few days, and Nobunaga was not impatient, but there were anxious people under him, and Kinoshita Fujiyoshiro was such a person who was willing to share the worries of his master.

"Lord, the little one has an idea, since this Urumo Castle Lord Osawa Jiro Saemon has the brave name of "Unuma Tiger", he is not a completely brainless person, these days, I can also see the strength of my family, and the little one wants to lobby him!"

Hearing Fujiyoshiro say this, Nobunaga was also interested, and immediately said, "How sure are you, monkey?" ”

"Eighty percent!"

"Okay, let's go now, if you can't persuade Osawa Jiro Saemon, you don't have to come back to see me!"

"Hey!"

As soon as Fujiyoshiro left, Nobunaga immediately summoned Niwa Nagahide, pointed to the Fortress of Saru, which stood on a high mountain in the distance and was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and said, "Within ten days, take this castle!" ”

Changxiu was stunned for a moment, and then shouted in a low voice: "Hey! ”

But in my heart, I was bitter, I had been fighting for seven or eight days, and there was no movement at all, and now I was suddenly going to break the city within ten days, and Niwa Nagahide's heart was 10,000 heads rushing by. However, the lord's order must be obeyed, and when he returned to his own camp, Changxiu immediately took a hundred flags and ran to the vicinity of Sarue City to observe, with the suppression of the army, Sarue City did not dare to open the city to snipe Niwa Nagahide.

The next day, Nagahide looked at the rushing water of the Kiso River, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and after returning to the main camp, he immediately dispatched 1,500 troops to surround the entire mountain where the Ape Castle was located, and cut off all water sources.

Five days later, the lord of Uruma Castle, Osawa Jiro Saemon, surrendered under the persuasion of Kinoshita Toyoshiro, and Fujiyoshiro was not in a hurry to return to the Oda army's main camp, but sent someone to inform the lord Nobunaga, and then continued to Kajida Castle, three miles away, this time, he wanted to lobby the lord of Kajida Castle, Tadano Sato and his son.

And under the city of Ximino without breaking down, after many days of temptation, Nagamasa finally ran out of patience and decided to fight a decisive battle with the four of Ximino the next day.
