The violent overage pseudo-Lori Oda Nobuko and Wang Tianxie are actively preparing for the battle in the Northern Omi Province, and the total army has reached 25,000 people.

Among them, the second echelon of the Oda Army was 20,000 ashigaru troops, and the remaining 10,000 troops were responsible for defending Mino Province and Owari Province. As for the orphan army, they sent out 5,000 troops to fight together, leaving 5,000 people to defend Vietnam and the big cat of the Fei Kingdom.

Coincidentally, the Asai family of Kita-Omi Province is also worried about the news that the Oda family is about to go into battle.

The culprit who caused them to scratch their brains was Wang Tianxi, who led a 2,500 cavalry team to annihilate the 4,000-foot light team of the Northern Omi Province during the retreat of Kanesaki Castle.

Although this number is placed on the opposite side of the sea, it is definitely a small battle. But this number is placed in the troubled times of the Warring States, but it is undoubtedly a large-scale joint battle.

Although there were not many generals above the rank of general who died in this battle, only Nomura Dingyuan was alone, but after this retreat battle in the Northern Omi Province, there were only 8,000 people left in the ashigaru and military formations that could be deployed.

Not to mention that there are nearly 2,000 or 3,000 people in it, who have experienced the retreat of Kanesaki City, and were so frightened that they couldn't raise their morale at all because of the deep pit created by the demon clan loli in front of Kanesaki City.

Asai Hisasa, an old fox of Hisasa, frequently sent envoys to Echizen Province to meet the sick fox Asakura Yoshikei, hoping to form an alliance with Yoshikei and fight against the Oda family together.

It's a pity that the Yijing Disease Fox can only show its hands is only 8,000 foot light teams, and the two families together only have a total of 15,000 people. In the face of the 25,000 army array led by the violent overage pseudo-Lori and Wang Tianxie, I had to shout "Yali is very heavy!" Yali pears are very heavy! Something like that.

It was not until mid-June 1556 that the entangled feelings of the old fox and the fox with the disease of Yijing were finally alleviated.

"Little lord, Yoshiaki sent an envoy to Kotani Castle in Kita-Omi Province." After Wang Tianxiao and the violent overage pseudo-Lori completed today's training of the second echelon of the Oda Army, the little beautiful ninja fell from the sky gorgeously accompanied by cherry blossom petals.

The big fox said to the old fox. As long as the Asai family and the Asakura family can successfully stop our army from going to Luo, then he is willing to go to Ishiyama in person and persuade Honganji Kenru to act with them against our army. The little beautiful ninja half-knelt in front of the two of them and whispered.

"Huh? If the group of madmen from Ishiyama Honganji join the battle, I'm afraid that the leader of the troops will be the official of Honganji, Shimoma Yoriyo, and this war madman is not easy to mess with. Violent overage pseudo-Lori listened to the words of the little beautiful ninja with a trace of worry on her face.

"It's not a problem, it's the biggest problem. Once Ishiyama Honganji is out of battle, Hattori Ukyo Ryo located in the annex of Nagashima Honganji will definitely attack our Owari Province immediately. Wang Tianxie pulled the little beautiful ninja up from the tatami floor and said.

Indeed, if the annex of Nagashima Honganji Temple goes out to Owari Province, then the rhythm of the fire in the backyard will definitely be appropriate, which is what Wang Tianxie is most worried about.

"The Great Hall! Araki Murashige sent an envoy to deliver information. Just as the violent overage pseudo-Lori and Wang Tianxie were worried about the news that the little beautiful ninja brought back, the voice of the monkey feather Shiba Hideyoshi sounded outside the sliding door.

Wang Tianxie patted the little beautiful ninja on the shoulder, and the latter jumped hard, in a whirlwind of cherry blossom petals. Jumped up to the roof patio beams and hid. At the same time, the violent overage pseudo-Lori also ordered the monkey Hashiba Hideyoshi to enter the room.

After Hideyoshi Monkey Hashiba walked in, he handed the information sent by Araki Murashige to the violent overage pseudo-Lori.

There is only one sentence on the intelligence: Miyoshi Sanyu, who had fled to Tanba Province, and the remaining party Miyoshi Nagaitsu and Miyoshi Masaysu are frequently entering Settsu Province to harass and ask for assistance from the Oda family.

The monkey feather Shiba Hideyoshi is gone, and the violent overage pseudo-Lori and Wang Tianxie spread out a map of the topography of mountains and rivers more than three meters long.

Using a brush dyed with cinnabar, the two drew a large circle at Nagashima Honganji Temple in the center of Owari Province and Ise Province, and then went on to Ishiyama Honganji Temple, Kotani Castle, the main town of the Asai family in Kita-Omi Province, and Ichijoya Castle, the main town of the Asakura family in Echizen Province. and the junction of Tanba and Settsu countries drew a large circle.

At this moment, the Oda family was immediately surrounded. Only two gaps remain: Viet China to the west of the Meinong Kingdom and the Three Rivers Kingdom to the southeast.

Wang Tianxie looked at this map of the topography of mountains and rivers with five circles, and his eyebrows suddenly wrinkled. The "letter encirclement" that he had been avoiding had finally appeared.

Fortunately, the "Nobuko Siege Network" is different from the "Nobunaga Siege Network" in Wang Tianxi's previous life, and without the participation of Sister Uesugi, the dragon girl of Echigo Province, the big cat of Kai Country has become not terrifying.

At this time, Wang Tianxie suddenly sighed, Sister Uesugi's strange righteousness. Sometimes it's pretty good.

At the very least, Sister Uesugi's righteousness made Wang Tianxie not worry about her stabbing her in the back of the Oda family's military formation like the Asai family of the Northern Omi Province.

"This occasion must not show weakness to them, only in this occasional battle. The old fox of Asai Hisamasa and the sick fox of Asakura Yoshikei were disabled and afraid. Otherwise, we will be in a very passive situation in the future. Wang Tianxi's fingers kept drawing circles on the hostile forces around the Oda family.

"Again, speed!" For what Wang Tianxie said, the violent overage pseudo-Lori also agrees.

"Well, tomorrow morning the general mobilization order for war will be launched." Wang Tianxie thought about it and nodded in agreement.

The Oda family's war mobilization order sounded again, and a group of Oda family's hardcore war elements entered the hall where the meeting was held.

Everyone is very clear about the goal of this war mobilization order. It's just that they know what they know, but they can't help but have no clue how to attack.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I think everyone is well aware of our goal. Ladies and gentlemen, the time has finally come to wash away our shame. First of all, the main camp is located at the top of Mt. Toragomae, which is located two miles south of Mt. Kotani. Mori Sanzaemon and Sakai are near, and you lead the army to set fire to the machiya near the foot of Mt. Skylark to create chaos. After the violent overage pseudo-Lori walked into the venue, her mouth went straight to the point.

"Shibata Katsuie, Sakuma Nobumori, Niwa Nagahide, and Hashiba Hideyoshi, you led the army to stay south of Otani Castle. You only need to put pressure on the old fox and the little fox of the long government, and do a good job of their defense against the counterattack, and you don't need to attack. Violent overage pseudo-Lori continues to arrange.

"Heavenly Evil, you led a cavalry team of five thousand orphans to attack Yokoyama Castle and cut off the communication between Echizen Province and Northern Omi Province, this opportunity will give you a good chance to wash away your previous bad luck." Violent overage pseudo-Lori continued to command.

"Takigawa Kazuki defended Hattori Ukyo Ryo of Nagashima Honganji Temple, and Maeda Toshiie was stationed in Mino Province and crossed the Chinese border to defend against the attack of the big cat in Kai Province. The above are the candidates for this battle, gentlemen, martial arts are prosperous! The violent overage pseudo-Lori shouted loudly, and the generals she named shouted loudly to take orders and walked out of the hall.

"I'll go first, Asai Hisasa, Asai Nagamasa, the old and the young, are estimated to adopt the strategy of cage city defense, and I will make them impatient as soon as possible and automatically leave the nest that is easy to defend and difficult to attack." Wang Tianxie hugged the violent overage pseudo-Lori, turned around and walked out of the hall.

The location of Kotani Castle is simply too unique.

It is located in Toragomae Mountain, Asai County, Kita-Omi Province, and is a ladder-style mountain castle with only two floors of castle towers, and the Honmaru has built fortifications such as kowaku, kuhori, and earthen ramparts.

Its main structure is at the very top of Mt. Toragomae, and the central part of the castle tower descends from the summit to the foot of the mountain, which are Sannomaru, Komaru, Kyogokumaru, Nakamaru, and Honmaru. As for the circle that surrounds Honmaru at the foot of the mountain, it is Ninomaru, and beyond it is Sannomaru and Castle Town.

As a result, even if the Honmaru attacked Otani Castle, he still had to follow the mountain road straight to the top of the mountain, and only after reaching the top of the mountain did he come to the castle tower of Otani Castle.

This alone is much more difficult to attack than the average city, but it is not the biggest factor that causes the balance of victory to tip in favor of the defenders.

The castle is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is actually a castle tower at the top of the mountain.

Tiger Imperial Front Mountain is a very strange mountain, there are four peaks on its summit, three of which are shorter in an irregular triangle, surrounding the highest peak, like a tiger's claw.

The highest central peak where the castle tower is located can only be reached through a giant chain bridge over the three lower peaks on the periphery, and a Sentashiki kojiwa that surrounds the peak. This Chitashiki Wheel is the only surface road leading to the castle tower.

This is also why, the violent overage pseudo-Lori will order Shibata Katsuie, Sakuma Nobumori, Niwa Nagahide, Hashiba Hideyoshi and others to lead the army to defend at the foot of the mountain, but not to attack Kotani Castle Honmaru.

It's really the geography of Kotani City, and it's really too easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Sure enough, as Wang Tianxie said, the old fox of Hisamasa and the little fox of Nagamasa saw that Mori Sanzaemon and Sakai Youjin led the army to set fire to the machiya near the foot of the lark mountain, showing an attitude of complete disregard, and they were not prepared to pay attention to it at all.

In particular, Shibata Katsuie, Sakuma Nobumori, Niwa Nagahide, Hashiba Hideyoshi and others also did not come out to attack Sannomaru. This made the old fox of Jiuzheng and the little fox of Changzheng feel even more proud of the small valley city where they lived.

It's just that the good mood of the two of them didn't last long, and they were made to fly away by a bad news.

"The Great Hall, it's not good! The 'oni' of the Oda family is leading a cavalry team and is launching a fierce attack on Makoto Yokoyama. A samurai came to the old fox of Kumasa and the little fox of Nagamasa, and bowed anxiously to report.

"What? Yokoyama Castle? Big things are not good! When the two foxes, one old and one young, heard the report, their faces suddenly changed greatly. (To be continued......)
