In the assessment room of Nagashima Castle, after the monks and Saito Ryuko and others arrived, the monks under the Honganji Temple testimonial seat were talking to each other and felt very irritable.

I saw that his face sank, and he said loudly: "Okay, stop me, although there are 5,000 enemy troops outside the city, but there are more than 1,000 elite monks and soldiers in this temple, and there is a strong city to defend, what is there to worry about." Although the temple said so, he was also at a loss at the moment.

After the main hall was quiet, he only listened to the testimony of Honganji Temple and said: "Everyone, everyone must know about the current battle situation, so I don't want to say more, now the time is pressing, I don't know which of you has a way to crack it, you can retreat the enemy army, please also speak bluntly, if you can really repel the Oda army, then there will be a heavy reward afterwards, this seat will never break its word." ”

After listening to this, the monks and the retainers under Saito Ryuxing and his command listened, you look at me, I look at you, no one has spoken for a long time, if they can find a way, they don't have to wait until now.

However, after all, the solution was thought up by people, and after a while, I only heard a monk say: "Shouza, the disciple thinks, is it still possible to ask for help from the Kitabatake family of the Nanyi clan like Lu did last time, so that as long as the Kitabatake family is willing to send reinforcements to help, then there will be Xiwang who will defeat the Oda family, and please make a decision on the first seat." ”

This method of asking for help from the Kitabatake family,Honganji testified that it is not unthinkable.,However,This method doesn't work.,Now Nagashima City Yijing is surrounded by the Oda family's army.,It's not so simple to break through and ask for help.,And,Even if the Kitabatake family comes to help,It will take at least five days.,With the attack launched by the Oda family is so fierce.,Not to mention whether the city will be lost.,In another five days.,I'm afraid the monks in the city will be killed and wounded.,Even if the reinforcements come.,What's the use.。

Besides, last time Takigawa Yiyi only had more than 2,000 troops under his command, and it cost 3,000 to invite reinforcements, this Oda Nobunaga personally led tens of thousands of troops to attack, and the money of Honganji was used to expand his strength and buy grain and grass, even if Saito Ryuxing was willing to donate, it was not enough, and in case the money was looted by the Oda army outside the city, it would be even more worthless, so there was no need to think about this reinforcement at all.

Xiangdao here, only to listen to the Honganji testimony said: "You don't have to think about the reinforcements anymore, I don't know if you have any suggestions." ”

I heard another monk speak: "First seat, the disciple thinks that although the rolling wood and stone have been exhausted, but you can find some other materials to replace it, the disciple sees that the roof of this Long Island Castle is all wood and stone, as long as it is removed, you can get a large number of city defense equipment."

In this way, not only can the Oda army inflict a large number of losses, but also reduce the number of casualties in the temple, and the disciples believe that if they want the Oda army to retreat, then they will have to inflict a large number of casualties, and they should also decide on the first seat. ”

Honganji's eyes lit up after hearing this, and the stiff expression on his face melted a little, but he immediately said: "Okay, this method is exactly what I want, I have decided to immediately demolish the castle tower and other buildings in the castle except for the castle tower and warehouse, so as to collect the rolling wood and stones, and you will be responsible for this matter." ”

Oda Nobunaga in the main camp outside the city is in a good mood now, the rolling wood and stones in Nagashima Castle, after his own onslaught in the past few days, Yijing was finally consumed in the morning, although his own army also paid the price of 300 killed and 700 wounded, but these Nobunaga still beared.

And these more than 1,000 ashigaru did not die in vain, or were injured in vain, which was fully reflected in the battle just now.

In the battle that just ended, although the army under his command still failed to attack the city, it caused nearly 200 casualties to the adults, and the monks and soldiers in Nagashima Castle were only one of the first 800 in total, plus the more than 100 people consumed before, there were still about 1,500 people left in the city, and Nobunaga was confident that Nagashima Castle would be broken within three days. …,

However, as soon as Nobunaga was here, he only heard the sound of smashing the wall in the city in front of him, which made Nobunaga quickly xiangdao the thoughts of the enemies in the city, although he was very angry about this, but he had no choice but to fight for a long time.

Three days later, the wood and stone in Nagashima Castle were consumed again, which also made Nobunaga feel good again.

Just when he was about to send an army to fight again, he saw the close attendant Hidemasa Hori come to Nobunaga's tent with a happy face, and said: "Report to the lord, Sakuma Nobumori sent someone to report that he had captured Kuwana Castle last night, and after leaving the defenders alone, Yijing led the army to come. ”

Nobunaga was also overjoyed when he heard this, only to hear him ask: "In this way, the four counties controlled by this temple, except for this Nagashima Castle, have all fallen into the hands of the family?" ”

After hearing this, Hori Hidemasa couldn't help but feel nervous, this retainer who has a strategy task can be regarded as having completed the task, but only Takayama-sama, who is good to him, has not yet heard any news.

It stands to reason that the Wish Witness Temple that Lord Takayama is responsible for the strategy is the easiest to be breached, and at first everyone thought that although the Takayama clan would not get any credit this time, but with the elite under his command, he should be the first to hand over the order, but now not only did he not send someone here, but he did not come to fight with the army, and he didn't even send a little news to Huilai, could it be that Lord Takayama had something unexpected?

Probably not, looking at Northern Ise, there is no military force that can pose a threat to Takayama-sama, even the Kitada family in Southern Ise.

Moreover, even if Lord Takayama encounters a threat, with the elite under his command, he can fight his way out, at least he will not be completely annihilated by the enemy, and he will not be able to send news.

But no matter what, since the lord asked, although Hori Hidemasa didn't want to say it, he couldn't help but say it, so he just heard him say: "Back to the lord, the other retainers have already sent good news, only... Only Takayama-sama has not yet heard any news. ”

After hearing this, Nobunaga's original good mood disappeared without a trace, only to see him shoot the case and say angrily, "What? Even the small temple of Wishing Witness has not been captured......"

At this point, Hori Hidemasa was ready to be scolded, but surprisingly, Nobunaga did not continue, but sat back on top of Maza.

Nobunaga couldn't help but xiangdao, with the combat strength of the army under the command of the Takayama clan, as long as it launched an attack, then the temple should be breached in an instant, but it has been eight days, but he still hasn't been able to break through the temple, there must be some reason for this.

Suddenly, Nobunaga suddenly thought that the Takayama clan was an extremely intelligent person, and he intended to suppress his sharp intentions, how could he not see that he must want to cooperate with himself through this battle to eliminate the resentment of his ministers.

Alas, this is really a little difficult for him, and it seems that he will only be compensated in the future, and at this moment, the status of the clan has been improved again.

After pondering for a moment, Nobunaga said, "Go and tell Senbei to stop acting, and if I don't see him here tomorrow, let him apologize." ”

After hearing this, Hori Hidemasa was shocked, he couldn't see the tacit agreement between the lord and Takayama-sama, as early as when the family's army first arrived here, Hori Hidemasa saw the lord's suppression of Takayama-sama.

At that time, he thought that Lord Gao Shan had made the lord angry because of something, so he would arrange such a least important and unmeritorious task for him, and he thought that the anger in the lord's heart would disappear in a few days, and with Lord Takayama's status in the lord's heart, he would definitely still be reused.

Moreover, it is not the first time that Lord Takayama has made the lord angry, and in the end he is not promoted to make a fortune, so he doesn't take it seriously at all. …,

But today is different, the lord actually said that he should apologize for his seppuku, which has never been done before, could it be that this lord zhende was popular with the mountain lord? Will the lord be so ruthless?

The relationship between himself and Lord Takayama,That's very deep.,Usually Lord Takayama is very concerned about himself and a few other lords.,Friends like this.,It's hard to find even if you're holding a torch.,Now Lord Takayama is in trouble.,If you don't speak out to persuade the lord of Cambodia,Not only will you be laughed at by others.,Even if you're uneasy.。

Xiangdao here, only to hear Hori Hidemasa said: "Lord, the subordinates think that Lord Gao Shan must have encountered some difficulties, so he did not capture the Wish Temple, and the subordinates think that as long as Lord Gao Shan is given some time, he will definitely be able to destroy all the bald donkeys in the Wish Temple, and please think twice." ”

After hearing this, Nobunaga couldn't help but say angrily: "Fart, if I'm giving him some time, I'm afraid I'll even take the whole of Ise by then, what use do you want him." ”

I only heard Hori Hidemasa stubbornly say: "But, my lord, Lord Takayama has outstanding ability and has made a lot of contributions to the benefit of the family, if he is cut belly because of this, it will inevitably chill the retainers, which is not effective for the development of the family, so I also ask the lord to take back his life." ”

Nobunaga couldn't help but sigh secretly, it seems that among the people in this family, there is no one else in the Takayama clan, and even the close servants who have followed him for many years cannot understand their own minds.

Xiangdao here, I saw Nobunaga say with a straight face: "Don't talk nonsense, don't you disobey your orders." ”

Seeing that the lord was so serious, Horihide Masachi said that no matter how much he persuaded him, it was impossible to change the lord's trust, and he had done what he should have done, and now he only hoped that Lord Takayama would be able to capture the temple tomorrow.

Xiangdao here, I saw Hori Hidemasa hurriedly saluted and said: "The subordinates don't dare, the subordinates will go and inform Lord Takayama." ”
