In the face of the siege of the Saito army on all sides, Ji Qin did not have much desire to break through, after all, the original intention was to drag the Saito army and buy time for the large army of the Asai army to defeat the Hexagonal Army and occupy Aichi County.

The Saito army is surrounded on all sides and does not break the pass, naturally they have their plan, there is no water source in the pass, drinking water has always been transported by Sekihara Town, the current water stock, but enough for a thousand people to drink for five days, if you save a little, you can drink for eight days, after eight days, Ji Qin just doesn't want to break through, and can only choose to break through.

It was calm down for a while, but other areas were not calm, first of all, Oda Nobunaga led three thousand ashigaru to capture the empty Inabayama Castle, but was easily defeated by the Saito family's old Hineno Hiro, and even the ninja army didn't understand why the Oda family would collapse easily when the two sides with little difference in strength were just taking advantage of the night to spread the news to the pass, and Yoshiqin didn't say a word after reading it, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and he didn't expect the Oda family to help anything anyway.

Fifty miles outside Mekada Castle in Inugami County, Rokkaku Yoshiji personally led an army of 10,000 to arrive here, but what made Rokkaku Yoshiji very angry was that the Saito army, which had agreed to meet in Mekada Castle, did not even see a ghost, which made Rokkaku Yoshiji very angry At the same time, he also kept sending people to Bupo County to find people from the Saito family to ask.

However, the people he sent out did not wait, but they waited for the eight thousand army of Asai Nagamasa, when the sun was high, the two armies met outside the city of Mekada, relying on the information of Inutaro and others who were arranged in the territory of the Rokkaku family before Yoshiqin, Asai Nagamasa, who can be said to know everything about the Hexagonal Army, only slightly adjusted the formation, and directly ordered the whole army to charge, without any warning, the two armies met for only a moment, and Isono Yuanchang led a thousand standing troops to rush directly into the Hexagonal Army formation that was still adjusting the formation, Relying on his own bravery and the strength of a thousand standing achigans, Pu tore a big hole in the Hexagonal Army's formation as soon as he made contact, and the troops behind followed up and expanded the results.

Soon, when the casualties of the Hexagon Army reached one percent, the entire Hexagonal Army began to collapse, Rokkaku Yoshiji gritted his steel teeth, and personally shot a few of the Asai Army who rushed to the front of the formation, and after standing ashigaru, under the pull of a bunch of retainers, joined the ranks of defeat and retreat, and with the retreat of the formation, some of the Hexagonal Army troops that had not completely collapsed instantly cried and ran up.

After that, things were much simpler, Asai Nagamasa chased Rokkaku Yoshimasa and ran most of Aichi County, Rokkaku Yoshimasa regained his foothold with the help of Goto Kentoyo's father and son's two thousand soldiers and horses, and blocked the two thousand soldiers and horses pursued by Asai Nagamasa, but the failure of the Rokkaku family was a foregone conclusion, Goto Kentoyo and his son could only protect Rokkaku Yoshiji and slowly withdrew from Aichi County, and completely released Aichi County to the Asai family.

And for Goto Kento's father and son who rescued him, Rokkaku Yoshiji did not have any gratitude, on the contrary, Rokkaku Yoshiji always felt that Goto Kento's father and son looked at him with pity and disdain, which deeply stimulated Rokkaku Yoshiji's self-esteem, and, after collecting thousands of defeated troops, Goto Kento's orders were much more effective than Rokkaku Yoshiharu himself's.

At this time, Rokkaku Yoshiji was murderous to Goto Kentoshi and his son, just murderous for no reason, but Goto Kenji and his son were not aware of it, and they still tried their best to help Rokkaku Yoshiji stabilize the army and consolidate the garrison of Kanzaki County, so as to prevent Asai Nagamasa from continuing to lead troops to attack.

After driving out all the Rokkaku troops in Aichi County, Asai Nagamasa also continued to issue security certificates to the former Rokkaku family retainers who remained here, and added some of the important ministers of the Asai family to Aichi County to consolidate his rule.

It was October 5 when Nagamasa completely drove the Hexagonal Army out of Aichi County, and the drinking water that could not be broken was almost exhausted, but Saito Yoshiryu, who did not break the siege, was in some trouble.

The main camp of the Saito army was garrisoned here by 1,500 men, and it was also an important place for the Saito army to besiege and not break through the eastern part of the Kanto, cutting off the road for the Hachiki army to go east into Mino. The other four sides were each assigned soldiers and horses, but there were a total of 200 men on the north and south sides, and there were also 1,000 men on the garrison of Sekihara Town in the west, cutting off the only material source that could not be breached.

Although Kawajiro and others bought back the gunpowder, they could only take advantage of the dead of night, when the garrisons on the north and south sides of the Saito Army were resting, and quietly climbed the wall with the gunpowder box on their backs, so that it could be delivered to the hands of the Qimu Army, and with the support of this batch of gunpowder, the firepower of the Iron Cannon Ninja Army had been restored to the level before the Sekigahara Field Battle, and if it was to break through, it would definitely come in handy.

On October 3, Kawajiro and Owoto returned to Bubashi in the middle of the night, and were sent out again by Yoshiqin, who was responsible for putting poison into a nearby water source, which was not actually a poison, but just a laxative, and asked Owoto to inform Takikei and others, who were free to move in Mino, to cut off the supply line of the Saito army, forcing the Saito army to retreat after basically taking laxatives.

On October 4, Takixi and others spontaneously began to attack the supply lines of the Saito army without receiving an order from Yoshiqin, but it was always a small-scale attack, although it put some pressure on the logistics of the Saito army, but it was harmless. At night, Kawajiro led nearly a hundred ninja troops, divided into dozens of squads, and threw all the water sources near the pass.

At first, the effect was not very significant, and only a small number of Saito soldiers showed symptoms of diarrhea, but it was not taken seriously by anyone, only that they inadvertently ate something bad.

On October 6, Takike and others completely destroyed the logistics supply lines of the Saito army, and annihilated all the small forces sent by Saito Yoshiryu to collect grain from the surrounding lords, forcing Saito Yoshiryu to plunder grain from Sekihara Town.

The Saito army was in the main formation, Inaba Ichitetsu came to Saito Yoshiryu's side with a worried face, and said urgently: "Lord, our army Ashigaru is now experiencing large-scale diarrhea, and some samurai are also the same, and our army has not much food and grass, I suggest that our army should give up the strategy and not break the barrier." And, there is news from Omi that the Rokkaku family has been defeated by Asai Nagamasa and beheaded more than a thousand, and the Asai family has occupied Aichi County, and it no longer makes sense for our army to go to Inugami County again. ”

"Sekigahara is not enough?"

Saito Yoshiryu was a little impatient, to be honest, he also felt that he had symptoms of diarrhea today, but because he was still in good health, he could still bear it, but there was really no way to deal with the food problem.

"Sekihara Town has been looted by Qimu Yoshiqin before, there is no food to collect, in the morning I have sent people to the nearby villages to collect, now it is evening, but there is no news, I am afraid that I will not be able to come back."

"Damn, the logistics are insufficient, what can I do about it, the shame of not breaking the pass, I will report it in the future! Tell the whole army to move closer to the main formation, and after nightfall, retreat together! ”

Saito Yoshiryu pulled out his sword and cut off a weed on the ground.
