Mamoru Ando got his wish and surrendered to the Oda family, although this matter was expected by Saito Ryuko and Oda Nobunaga, but obviously, for the vast majority of people who did not know, this matter was very sensational.

Because Mamoru Ando represents one of the three people of Nishimino who cannot be ignored by Mitsuru Saito after the death of Michizo Saito, whether it is Saito Yoshiryu or Saito Ryuko. And his submission this time will undoubtedly cause a major earthquake in the entire West Minon. At the same time, in the eyes of everyone, this incident also symbolizes the omen that the Saito family's rule in Mino is about to come to an end.

Inabayama Castle.

"My lord! Please order the execution of Mamoru Ando's sister-in-law and family immediately! If you don't do this, I'm afraid that the Naomoto clan and even the entire Nishimino will defect to the Oda family! Michitoshi Nagai said loudly.

After the Nagai Michichi army returned to Inabayama, he suddenly found that Saito Ryuko had returned to Inabayama, although he was very dissatisfied with Takenaka Shigeharu's attack on Inabayama, but since Saito Ryuko did not pursue it, and Takenaka Shigeharu also ran away, he did not continue to investigate.

But then when he wanted to return to Higashimino to continue to resist the invasion of the Oda family, he was stopped by Saito Ryuxing. Although Nagai Michitoshi didn't quite understand what Saito Ryuko meant, Nagai Michitoshi didn't ask much, but just followed Saito Ryuko's order and led the army to stay at Mt. Inaba, and by the way, presided over the defense works of Mt. Inaba.

So after learning that Mamoru Ando had subdued the Oda family, Michitoshi Nagai immediately came to find Saito Ryuxing. Although he and Mamoru Ando have always been at odds with each other over issues of power, Michitoshi Nagai's loyalty to the Saito family is unquestionable.

Hearing this, Saito Ryuxing suddenly chuckled and said, "Dori doesn't have to be so ......" Immediately, Saito Ryuxing informed Nagai Michiori of his plan.

"This ...... This ......" Nagai Michitoshi looked at Saito Ryuxing dumbfounded, and after a long while, he muttered, "Lord, isn't it too ...... to do this" Nagai Michitoshi said halfway, but he didn't know what words to use to describe it.

"Hehe, isn't it crazy?" Saito Ryuxing smiled, "Indeed, this plan is crazy! If you lose, Mino will be the Oda family......" Saito Ryuko stood up, slowly walked to the observation deck and looked at the scenery outside, muttering, "However, if we win, it will be a heavy blow to the Oda family, and in at least three years, the Oda family will no longer be able to attack Mino." ”

"Yes...... However, ......" Michitoshi Nagai heard this, and although he felt that what Saito Ryuko said did not seem to be wrong, he still felt that it was inappropriate. Although he couldn't say anything against it, it was crazy for him, an old minister.

"Dori, although I don't want to admit it, the main family is indeed inferior to the Oda family. If you don't give the Oda family a hard blow, just a single click to retreat the Oda family. So can the Oda family's next attack be blocked? Even if it blocks it next time, what about the next time? Now that the Oda family owns Owari and Mikawa, the Imagawa family is busy guarding against the prying eyes of the Takeda family and recovering themselves. Therefore, if the family wants to survive, they can only gamble! ”

Saying that, Saito Ryuxing turned his head to look at Nagai Michitoshi, and said with some helplessness and desolation, "This family, I can't afford to spend ......."

At this moment, Nagai Michitoshi suddenly felt that the 16-year-old governor in front of him seemed to be 20 years older. "God is unfair!" Nagai Michitoshi thought a little sadly in his heart, he believed that Saito Ryuko was definitely the master of the Saito family, but unfortunately, since he succeeded him as the governor of the family, he had met the powerful Oda family.

"If I had ......" Michitoshi Nagai thought of the constant struggles he had to fight for the rights of the three of them with Mamoru Ando, and he suddenly regretted it in his heart. However, this thought did not linger in his mind for long before disappearing, because regret had no effect at this point. "Please rest assured! The old minister will definitely swear to follow the lord to the death! Michitoshi Nagai said in a deep voice.

"Hmm."

After Saito Ryuko got Nagai Michitoshi, he began to carry out the next action. That was the frenzied mobilization of troops, and the further strengthening of the defense of Mt. Inaba. This series of actions seems to have only one purpose, that is, Saito Ryuxing will rely on the strong castle Inabayama and the Oda family to carry it to the end.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in this troubled era, such as the siege of Minowa Castle by the Takeda family, and the siege of Odawara by Kenshin Uesugi before. A strong city can often allow the weaker side to obtain the capital to continue the war in the war. And in most cases, the final result of such a siege is the retreat of the attacker.

There is no way to do this, because the consumption caused by a long siege is something that most of the daimyo can't support.

However, neither Oda Nobunaga nor Oda Yoshinobu reacted to this, after all, they had long been aware of the Saito family's plans. So Oda Nobunaga continued to lead his army to attack Higashimino, while Oda Yoshinobu began the road of persuasion through Mamoru Ando.

This matter, only after Oda Yoshinobu mentioned it a little, Ando Mamoru agreed. Because Oda Yoshinobu promised that as long as he could help him persuade the many forces of Nishimino, including the other two three, Mamoru Ando would be the first contributor to this attack on Mino!

I have to say that Oda Yoshinobu's words did have a role, giving Mamoru Ando a step and a reason not to refuse, so that Mamoru Ando didn't even have to show his acting skills. Of course, Ando Mamoru didn't mention any conditions, so he mentioned that when attacking Inabayama, the three of them did not send troops. The reason is also very simple, as the third generation of the Saito family, they really can't bear and don't want to be enemies of the original owner's family.

In this regard, although Oda Yoshinobu knew very well what Mamoru Ando was planning, in order to take down Nishimino as soon as possible, and at the same time to prevent Mamoru Ando from becoming suspicious, he could only choose to agree.

On April 18, under the persuasion of Mamoru Ando, Inaba Ryotsu of Daheng Castle surrendered.

On April 21, also under the persuasion of Mamoru Ando, the clan Naomoto of Sone Castle surrendered.

On April 25, most of the whole of Nishimino fell into the hands of the Oda family.

On April 29, Oda Yoshinobu and Shibata Katsuie captured Honda Castle, the last castle in Nishimino.

At the same time, Higashimino was also completely pacified by Oda Nobunaga. Speaking of which, many wealthy families in Higashimino were also helpless, and the most powerful force, Nagai Michitoshi, directly led the army back to Mt. Inaba, and the entire Nishimino also surrendered, and there was no army sent to support Mt. Inaba. So that even if these wealthy families of Dongmino want to resist, they don't have that ability.

On May 3rd, Mt. Inaba, which was at dusk, ushered in what may be the last wave of enemies in its life, and the Oda army of nearly 20,000 people appeared in front of Mt. Inaba.

Once upon a time, this fortified castle built by Saito Michizo blocked countless waves of attacks, and Oda Nobuhide could only spit out the fruits of victory that had been swallowed several times because of the existence of this fortified castle. And now, will Oda Nobunaga fall under this fortified city again? No one knows, but what is certain is that the two must have different ideas.

Oda family honjin. As soon as Oda Yoshinobu arrived with his army, he was called by Oda Nobunaga.

"How?" Oda Nobunaga asked in a low voice.

"What else? Mamoru Ando refused to send troops on the grounds that the three bastards could not bear to be enemies of the Saito family. Oda Yoshinobu said angrily.

"Alas, there is no way to do this, if you don't do this, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of Mamoru Ando, and then the whole situation will be different." Oda Nobunaga sighed and patted Oda Yoshinobu on the shoulder and comforted.

"Yes, I'm just worried that they will be suspicious, and they won't even dare to send a person to watch." Oda Yoshinobu said unhappily. He suddenly found that cooperating with others to act is really tiring enough. In the past, he secretly laughed that Mamoru Ando could compete for the best actor, but now it is his turn.

"Well, this situation is already in our plan, don't worry about it." Oda Nobunaga patted Oda Yoshinobu on the shoulder and smiled, then pointed to Inabayama Castle and said with a solemn face, "What we need to think about now is how to break this damn fortified castle!" ”

"How else can you attack? Assault! Oda Yoshinobu glanced at Oda Nobunaga and said quite casually.

"Ha, I knew you idiot would say that." Oda Nobunaga laughed.

"Don't call me stupid!"

Inabayama Castle, on the observation deck, Saito Ryuxing held the guardrail with both hands, and looked at the Oda army outside the city with an indifferent expression.

"It's finally here......" Saito Ryuko muttered to himself, this day, he had been waiting for a long time.

"Your Highness!" A voice suddenly rang out.

Hearing this, Saito Ryuxing did not turn around, still looking at the main formation of the Oda army, "What do you say about Shou over there?" ”

"Lord Ando's side is ready to act at any time."

"Hmm...... Just 10 days later, the Oda army should have started to get tired by that time. Saito Ryuxing said lightly.

"Yes!"

The words landed, and the room returned to silence again, Saito Ryuxing still looked at the Oda army's main formation, and he didn't know how long it took, Saito Ryuxing suddenly looked up at the sky and muttered, "Grandpa, I remember you said before that your children and grandchildren will hold the reins for Oda Nobunaga sooner or later......"

As he spoke, Saito Ryuxing's eyes flashed with a fine light, staring at the Oda Army's main formation and muttering to himself, "However, I won't let this happen!" When hell freezes over! Grandpa, just watch, this time, the grandson will definitely defeat the Oda family! (To be continued.) )
