Neither the land army led by Wang Tianxie and the violent overage pseudo-loli Oda Nobuko, nor the Li family fleet of the iceberg big cat sister Li Huamei, or the Oda naval army of the Nine Ghosts Kataka, launched an attack on Ishiyama Honganji.

The strange practices of the Oda family made Honganji seem to be puzzled.

As a result, every day he would gather his monks, Buddhists, retainers, officials, and even the new Saga Sun City and Tsuda Shomono and other Nerai, Yukawa, and Okukii representatives for military discussions.

"What the hell is that cruel princess of the Oda family and that evil ghost trying to do?"

Words like these come out of the main hall of Honganji every day.

Not only did the Honganji temple officials and owners under the leadership of Honganji Temple, or the Saga people, Nerai people, Yukawa people, and Okuki people who came to help, and they couldn't see what the Oda family was up to, and even the people inside the Oda family couldn't figure it out.

Wang Tianxi, Oda Nobuko, and Li Huamei, together with Takenaka Hanbei, Maeda Keiji and other samurai above the rank of general, beat small drums in the main camp tent of the main camp every day, singing and dancing at the same time.

As for the second echelon of the Oda Army led by the Oda Ghost Army and Araki Murashige and Harada Naomasa, they also held celebrations in batches in addition to the garrison.

As the time gradually entered October, the strong smell of meat and sake spread far and wide into Ishiyama Honganji Temple.

"Nobuko...... Sister Hua Mei...... Time...... Almost, right? Wang Tianxie held a small wine cup in his left hand, and held a piece of black hair wagyu beef with chopsticks in his right hand, and asked his wife beside him vaguely.

"Hmm...... That's pretty much it! Presumably, Honganji seems to be irritable by now. Huh-huh...... The supply of more than 20,000 people, I see how he can feed people and fight! Nobuko Oda shouted with a small fist.

Ishiyama Honganji Temple can be said to be surrounded by mountains and waters, and it is also the underground living water gushing out of the hot springs. Therefore, it is impossible to cut off the water source of Ishiyama Honganji.

However, the amount of food that more than 20,000 people need to consume every day is definitely a staggering number.

At present, the Oda army has cut off all the water and land routes outside Honganji. As a result, there was a great crisis in the food reserves of Honganji.

"How can it be repaired! This is definitely a vicious ploy that the demon came up with! "Honganji Xianru finally understands what the Oda family is doing.

The fragrance that came from the Oda army every day not only made the Buddhists and monks under his command soften. Even he himself often can't help but drool out.

Due to the problem of food for nearly 23,000 Buddhist disciples and monks, Honganji Temple had already begun to restrict the distribution of food after being besieged by the Oda family for more than two weeks.

Although he, the current head of Ishiyama Honganji, and his sons Honganji Kyoru, Saga Sang, Nerai, Yukawa and Okugii are still well fed. But compared with the usual big fish and meat, it is still inferior by more than two or three grades.

Well, it's a given. Without a supply line, there will always be a day when the ingredients will run out.

"Two, it seems that this time Honganji was in trouble...... Do you think we should follow that ghost ......?"

Tsuda Supervisor, the current representative of the Nerai people, took advantage of the night to look at the current representatives of the Yukawa people and the Oki Yi people, and made a one-size-fits-all motion in his hand.

"Tsuda-sama is right, I think the Oda family's siege of the castle has been a matter of the past two days......" Yukawa nodded and said softly.

"It's just a little past the hour, so ...... Shall we do it tonight? The current representative of the Ogi people looked at the two peers in front of him, and asked in a low voice.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! ……”

As soon as the three of them nodded and were about to split up, the Kizu River to the north of Ishiyama Honganji Temple and Osaka Bay to the west were shaken. From afar, there was a deafening roar of large cylinders.

"Nani? The Oda family is going on the offensive tonight? We have to hurry up, or the credit won't be ours! Tsuda was taken aback, his face turned white with fright, and he said angrily.

Meanwhile......

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

The continuous roar of iron cannons was heard in the east and south of Ishiyama Honganji. The lime powder plastered on the bamboo wall continued to peel off with the bombardment of the iron cannon, drifting in all directions.

"Enemy attack! Defend! Enemy attack! Defend! ”

Shimoma Lai Lian waved the Zen staff in his hand and shouted orders to the monks and soldiers under him.

It's a pity that what fell into his eyes was a group of monks who had already been starving, and several of them couldn't even hold the big sword in their hands.

What frightened Yorilian even more was that. Hundreds of the iron cannons of the Oda family pierced through the bamboo walls of Honganji Temple and shot into the bodies of the Buddhist disciples defending the cage castle. Bring out a touch of blood.

"Nani? When did the Oda family have such a powerful iron cannon? This...... How good is that! Lai Lian's face suddenly became very ugly.

At the same time, in a side hall of Honganji, Honganji Xianru was standing in front of a wall with his son Honganji Kyoru and more than 30 monks and soldiers.

No, strictly speaking, a wall with a swarthy doorway and slanting down steps.

"Father...... This...... This is ...... "Honganji Kyoru looked at the black rumbling secret path in front of him. An ominous thought arose in my heart.

"This is my secret escape path to Honganji. Kyoru, you should flee to Kii Province......" Honganji Xianru's face was very pale, and he had already foreseen his end.

Honganji Kyoru's face suddenly became very gloomy, and he grinned a very ugly smile and looked at his father. His mouth involuntarily said, "Father...... You...... You're kidding. ”

According to the Honanji sect, there were still 23,000 Buddhist disciples and monks in Honganji at this time, as well as forces such as the Saga people, the Nerai people, the Yukawa people, and the Okuki people who came to support.

With such an army formation, even if the Oda family cannot be annihilated, the defense of the cage city is definitely more than outstanding.

Especially now that we have entered October, it will become very cold in Settsu Province after a month of persistence.

The Oda family, which had only small castles such as Shitennoji, Mitsuji, and Kizu, as their strongholds, would have frozen to death in Settsu Province if they did not withdraw their troops. In other words, it only takes one more month to hold out and the crisis can be solved.

Honganji Kyoru, who has this kind of thinking, doesn't understand why his father has become so cowardly.

Yes, in his mind, Honganji appears to be a coward's idea as it is now.

"Yaga! Can't you see the situation clearly? "Honganji Xianru was very annoyed.

This son of mine is obviously very smart, why can't he see such a simple question.

The monks and Buddhists in their hands have long been spiritually destroyed by the Oda family. Even if there were more than 100,000 such an army formation, it would definitely not be able to resist the morale of the Oda army.

Not to mention the warships of the Oda Navy in Osaka Bay.

Those swarthy warships are the biggest disaster that really took away the future of Honganji.

"Yaga! Don't say anything more! Hurry up and let me go! The future of the Honganji family, the future of my Honzanji clan depends on you! Honganji roared as if he hated iron rather than steel.

Immediately after, with a force of his hands, he pushed his son into the secret passage.

"You guys! Be sure to escort him to Kii! Honganji Xianru sighed and looked at the more than thirty cronies and retainers gathered around him.

"Imperial Will!"

More than thirty people rushed into the secret passage, and two of them set up the left and right armpits of Honganji Kyoru, and despite his resistance, they lifted him up and ran towards the end of the secret passage.

Honganji Xianru sighed and closed the secret passage.

Honganji Kyoru's face suddenly became very gloomy, and he grinned a very ugly smile, looked at his father, and said involuntarily, "Father...... You...... You're kidding. ”
