The ironclad fleet of the Nine Demons Yoshitaka annihilated the Maori naval forces that Honganji had been waiting for day and night, and won a good start for the Oda family's battle. On the evening of September 11, Wang Tianxie and Oda Nobuko, a violent overage pseudo-lori, also led the army to arrive at Ishiyama Honganji Temple in Osaka Bay, Settsu Province.

As Mori Shu said, the Oda army led by the two surrounded Ishiyama Honganji Temple.

On the other side of the sea, the Ming Kingdom said that there is no need to use it at this moment.

Because, they don't need to leave a gap at all.

The Li family fleet of the iceberg cat Li Huamei, with five five-masted galleons as the capital ships, and the twenty-eight ironclad fleet of the Nine Ghost Jialong, had already blocked the entire Osaka Bay in a row.

The large, medium, and small cylinders on the thirty-three giant warships were all aimed at Ishiyama Honganji.

With the eyes of this water army, Honganji Xianru could no longer sit still, and one after another orders shouted out of his mouth.

His 30,000 Buddhists, including the Miyoshi Party, the Nerai Sect, the Saga Sect, the Yukawa Sect, and the Oki Yi Sect, were respectively assigned by him to dangerous locations to defend the cage city.

As for the escape......

Ever since he saw the Oda family's "five-wheeled papaya" family crest on the giant ironclad ship "Nine Ghost Ship" where Nine Ghost Yoshitaka was standing, he no longer had the luxury of the word "escape".

Since the construction of Ishiyama Honganji Temple in the early 12th century, it has experienced several crises of extinction.

However, as long as there is a sea route from Osaka Bay, even if Honganji falls into a dead end on land, as long as you can escape to the sea, the crisis will be solved.

But when Honganji Xianru saw these thirty-three Oda naval forces that were far larger than all the current naval warships in the troubled times of the Warring States period, he knew that this time Honganji might lose even the last chassis.

His only hope now. It was the unrest in Echizen Province that became more violent.

It was so violent that the princess of the Oda family, who was full of violence in front of her, had to withdraw her troops, and the "evil ghost" of the Oda family in front of her had to run back to Echizen Country to rescue.

It would be even more perfect if the dragon girl of Echigo Province and the big cat of Kai Province could join forces to fight the Oda family.

Of course, he didn't know that his little Jiujiu was destined to fail.

Not only did he not know that the Oda family and the Uesugi family had long been allies, but a certain dragon girl had already blushed and had feelings for the "evil ghost" of the Oda family.

He didn't even know that his abacus in Echizen Province had long been used as a punching bag by a certain monkey in his rage. Killed a river of blood, in just over a week, more than 20,000 and 30,000 people have died.

After Wang Tianxian and Oda Nobuko surrounded Ishiyama, they did not immediately launch a fierce attack on Honganji, and they were waiting for a return from Araki Murashige and Harada Naomasa.

"Report! Araki-sama and Harada-sama are back. ”

Finally, when the time came to the evening of September 12, Araki Murashige and Harada Naomasa finally returned to the Oda Army's main camp.

"Murashige, Naomasa, what's going on in Honganji now?" After Nobuko Oda walked into the main tent of the main camp of the main camp of the main camp by Araki Murashige and Naomasa Harada, a pair of tiger-eyed eyes looked at the two and asked.

"Tell the main hall, in Honganji Temple at this moment. There are Nerai, Saga, Yukawa, and Oki to assist Honganji in the defense of the cage castle. Arakimurashige hurriedly replied.

"Are you saying that in the Honganji Temple now, there are the leaders of the Nerai, Saga, Yukawa, and Oki tribes and the 'mercenaries' they lead?" After listening to Araki Murashige's words, Wang Tianxie asked thoughtfully.

"Huh? Heavenly Evil, what is a 'mercenary'? Oda Nobuko asked curiously after hearing Wang Tianxie's words.

She had never heard words such as "mercenary", and even in the entire troubled times of the Warring States, I am afraid that only Wang Tianxie knew the meaning of the word "mercenary".

Right. Although there is no word "mercenary" in this Warring States troubled era, what they do is indeed mercenaries.

The Nerai, Saga, Yukawa, and Okuki are all local clans of Kii Province. Although this group of wealthy forces all believed in the Ichizen sect and belonged to the Buddhists of Ishiyama Honganji, at the same time, they would work for whoever could afford it.

"Oh, mercenaries? It's really fitting what those guys did. So, do you want to send ninjas to infiltrate Honganji Temple to incite them? Oda Nobuko listened to Wang Tianxie's explanation of the three words mercenary. Clapped his hands and smiled.

Oda Nobuko is no stranger to the local nobles of Kii Province, such as the Nerai, Saga, Yukawa, and Okii.

Back in the days of her father, "Owari Kuni Big Cat" Nobuhide Oda, this group of guys was already active in various regions. Even Oda Nobuhide back then once hired the other party to play for himself.

And, even in the early days. He also hired Neraiya, Yukawa, and Saga.

It's just that the Sakaga people she hired are not the Sakaga people led by the Sakaga Sun City, but the Sakaga Sanshu Crowd, which belongs to a branch of the Sakaga Clan.

It is precisely because of the intersection with the Root Lai and Yukawa that Oda Nobuko thought that Wang Tianxie might be planning to hire this group of local tycoons and give Honganji Xianrulai a nest.

"Yes, on the one hand, we will send ninjas to secretly negotiate with the Nerai people and the Yukawa people, and on the other hand, we need to take Kizuzu into our hands and cut off all the external communication and supply lines of the Ishiyama Imperial Workshop." Wang Tianxie pointed to the topography of the mountains and rivers and said.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

Just as Nobuko Oda nodded thoughtfully when she heard this, the roar of iron cannons faintly came from the distance of the Oda army's main formation.

"Huh? Enemy attack? ”

Wang Tianxi, Oda Nobuko, Araki Murashige, and Harada Naomasa were all taken aback, and hurriedly walked out of the main tent and looked in the direction where the voice came from.

The roar of the iron cannon came from Ishiyama Honganji Temple facing Osaka Bay.

"Listening to the sound of this iron cannon, I'm afraid it's the Saga people from Saga Sun City, right?" Wang Tianxie asked curiously.

He had never been in contact with any of these local forces in Kii, nor had he fought with them, so he didn't know anything about it. On the contrary, it was Oda Nobuko, who used the help of Saga in the last battle to unify Owari Province.

"Sounds like it, then, should we go out now?" Oda Nobuko frowned and listened carefully, then opened her mouth to answer Wang Tianxi.

"Okay, take advantage of the opportunity of the Saga people to bombard the ironclad fleet and send ninjas to infiltrate Honganji Temple to contact the Nerai people and the Yukawa people, while the two of us will go and take down the Mitsuji Temple and the Shitennoji Temple." Wang Tianxie thought for a moment and then replied.

"Murashige, Naomasa, you two are also out of battle, the target is Muzu, you must take down that city for me and defend it strictly." After answering Nobuko Oda's words, Wang Tianxie looked at Araki Murashige and Harada Naomasa who were standing aside.

"Yes!"

Araki Murashige and Harada Naomasa hurriedly bowed down and answered after listening to Wang Tianxie's order, and then turned around and ran towards their own headquarters.

Since Wang Tianxie is the husband of Oda Nobuko who is married and has held a marriage ceremony at Atsuta Shrine, therefore, according to the tradition of this Warring States period in turmoil, he should be the head of the Oda family.

It's just that I don't know what the structure of this guy's brain is, and the status and power that others dream of getting, this guy gave it to his wife without frowning.

But because of this, he also has the right to dictate to his retainers, and Oda Nobuko doesn't care about this little thing at all.

The ninja sent to Honganji is the elite Shinobi of Sarutobi, after all, Honganji has long been heavily guarded at this moment, and there is only one chance, if it is discovered, the consequences will be unimaginable.

When Araki Murashige and Harada Naomasa led the 4,000-foot light team of the second echelon and pounced on the Kizu Tsu Fortress built at the mouth of the Kizu River, the Oda ghost army of Wang Tianxian and Oda Nobuko also divided into two routes and attacked Mitsuji Temple and Shitennoji Temple.

Wang Tianji was in charge of Shitennoji Temple, which was founded by Prince Shotoku in the 6th century (593 AD), the earliest Buddhist temple and the oldest official temple.

In today's Warring States turmoil, which has always been a great sect, Shitennoji Temple is regarded as one of the most important Buddhist temple strongholds by Honganji Temple.

Of course, in this troubled era of the Warring States Period, the so-called ancient temple of Buddhism has long become decayed, and the temple has even been "silver" and muddy.

Therefore, for Wang Tianxie, who had already won the title of "enemy of the Buddha" for attacking this kind of temple, he said that he had nothing to say in his heart.

Shitennoji Temple not only served as a guardian of Buddhism and protected the temple in the troubled times of the Warring States period, but also became the center of politics and diplomacy, and it was also the birthplace of art and craft industries and other cultures in the troubled times of the Warring States period.

After the entire temple, the central gate, five-storied pagoda, golden hall, and lecture hall were arranged in a straight line, and the exterior was surrounded by a cloister.

The style of this building was even called the "Shitennoji style" by the emperor, and it is said that it was built on the scale of the Buddhist shrine of the Heavenly Empire across the sea.

Although this architectural style makes the whole temple look very grand, it also creates great convenience for Wang Tianxie.

Wang Tianxie led the Takenaka Hanbei, Maeda Keiji, and the snow wolf Ryoko Lori Ryoko, who was alias Yukihara Ryoshi, and led the three thousand Oda ghost army cavalry team to rush into the rear general middle gate like a bamboo.

In order to facilitate the defense of the cage castle, Honganji Xianru left only 5,000 monks in Shitennoji Temple.

Although the monks of Shitennoji were superior in numbers, the Oda ghost army did not have the slightest worry or fear.

Over the years, with Wang Tianxie or Oda Nobuko's expedition to the north and south, they have already cultivated a surging murderous aura.

In the face of the monks and soldiers, who numbered more than 2,000 people than themselves, the ghost army behind Wang Tianxie and other samurai not only did not fear, but their eyes showed fierce light, and they were bound to kill a river of blood in this temple like their colleagues on the sea.
