According to the information from Longchuan Ichii, the Imakawa family's 20,000 troops could reach Daigao Castle in the afternoon. Oda Nobunaga would not easily let the enemy join, so he set up a formation on the road to reach Daigao Castle. Oda Nobunaga moved the entire army forward to Izumoto, with his back to Aimamura. The place left for the two armies to fight was the famous Tuosama Mountain in later generations. The terrain here is narrow and can only accommodate 3,000 people to launch a charge, and if there is a little more, it will be impossible to slap. Due to the terrain restrictions here, the Imakawa family's absolute advantage in number is difficult to exert.

As for Ota Castle, Oda Nobunaga had another solution. Oda Nobunaga first arranged the garrisons of Mizuno Tadaki, Yamaguchi Hae Laocheng, Zhezhi Kyōtō, Maki and Juro, Sojuro, and the garrisons of Tosaemon and Sanzhao Temple Village, Sakuma Nobumo and Sakuma Sakuma Sakuma Suksuke led their troops to siege Daigaki.

In addition, the former besieged the siege of the Marukeenzhai, the siege of the Dataka Castle, and the siege of the Washizu Castle, the siege of the Izuki, the siege of the siege, and the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the

Not long after camping in Mount Sheng, Imakawa Yoshimoto's army also arrived at Tsukamama Mountain. The two armies looked at each other from afar, and Oda Nobunaga and Imakawa Yoshimoto began to arrange their own troops.

Niba Nagahide, Kawajiri Hidetaka and Shibata Katsuya each led the eight hundred spears as the left, center and right armies to defend at the foot of Izuyama Mountain. I was temporarily incorporated into the tie-up iron artillery team, responsible for long-range shooting of the enemies behind the Niba Nagahide team of the Right Army. Behind me is Oda Nobunaga's bride brother Hirohiko Ikeda.

The three-level teams of long spears, iron cannons, and archers are linked together, and Oda Nobunaga's way of defending the dangerous situation is still good. Now I also want to see what the Tokaido military general, the Tokaido Yizhuo, can rush over with a bow.

After we set up the formation, Imakawa Yoshimoto's army did not move. During lunch, Oda Nobunaga's promised statement last night failed. Breakfast was indeed eaten in Matsumura in Sanhe. At noon, you can still see Matsumura in Soyama. This is still far from the far river.

When my iron cannon foot took turns to eat, Ikeda Hengxing and Niba Nagahide ran over shamelessly, and waited for me to start a meal on the grounds of discussing military situations. The enemy has not yet attacked, so what can I discuss? However, I can't afford to offend these two people, unless I defect to the Shibata Katsuki faction, but if I think about it, I know that it is impossible.

Seeing Hiroki Ikeda chewing in front of the tablecloth without any image, I said, 'Hey, hey, this way of eating can easily make people misunderstand that you have been hungry for several days. It seems that the Oda family has run out of food.'

Yoshiki Ikeda chewed and said vaguely, "It's weird if I can eat it. Do you know what our breakfast is? What don't you want to know? If you don't want to know, you have to tell you, just eat it. No, I know that thing is not something that people eat at all."

I know that when I am going to eat during the marching and war, I poured the leftover rice in the hat and poured it with tea. Because there is salt in sweat in the hat, I even saved salt. But it was said that it was a convenience food from the Warring States Period, and as for the taste, I wouldn't eat it anyway.

Ikeda Hokkai's method of overeating can't last for a while. He said beside me, "Brother Shinichi. Let me tell you one thing, I will take a concubine next month."

I clasped my fists and said, "Congratulations." Then I ignored him and continued to eat.

Hiroki Ikeda, ‘You must come at that time. I’m waiting for your gift.’

‘I knew I was waiting for me here, and you didn’t like Senior Xiu. Look, Mr. Changxiu is consistent and has not taken a concubine yet.’

‘This.’ Ninoha Nagahide, ‘I originally wanted to take a concubine this month, so I can delay this disturbance.’

‘......’

At this time someone shouted, "Imakawa's family has moved."

The Oda Army, who was resting in place, stood up and found their defense positions one after another. I also took out the monocular lens and began to observe the Imakawa Army. More than 2,000 Imakawa Army set up a long snake formation, and there was no way, otherwise there would be only five or six hundred people rushing up in batches.

However, after looking at the weapons and equipment of the Imakawa Army, we knew that this time it must be a feint. The cannon fodder placed in the front were all peasants holding hoes, shovels and bamboo guns. The samurai from the Imakawa family seemed to appear as a supervisor team. They kept kicking and scolding the peasants in the front to move forward.

After looking at the flag given by Oda Nobunaga's main formation on the mountain, I ordered, 'Sixty meters away, free shooting.'

After the enemy entered the effective range of involvement, with the sound of the Oda family's iron cannons, the Imakawa family finally had the first batch of casualties. With the slope, there was almost no need to aim, and they could hit the dense enemies below. The Imakawa family's small number of iron cannons also began to fight back, but there was almost no effect on me. Once some iron cannons of the Imakawa family were fired, the white smoke brought by the Imakawa family became a good target and would be removed immediately by more than a dozen iron cannons.

The air on the battlefield was filled with the smell of sulfur after the burning of gunpowder, which had even covered the bloody smell. After passing a devilish journey of 50 meters near the hellish rain of bullets, the Imakawa family did not disintegrate as I imagined, but launched a fierce charge towards the defense line of the spearmen under the leadership of the samurai. However, the absolute disadvantage in number and the scattered formation made the first wave of charge only stir up a small wave on the Oda family's spearmen formation. After the first wave of attack failed, the Imakawa family retreated back after leaving more than 600 corpses. One-third of the troops that launched the attack disappeared silently.

On the opposite side, Imakawa Yoshimoto saw that the Oda family was tightly defended. He called the Katsuyama family to ask for advice, "Ji Xiao Lianlong was defeated just now, how can you break through the Oda family's defense line?"

Geshan Shiyuan replied, 'The other party only relies on the geographical advantage and iron cannons, but the iron cannons will be damaged after a long time. I think only all the people will attack and use continuous assaults to disintegrate the Oda family, but the casualties will be greater.'

‘I think so. But the big fool of the Oda family has blocked our way to Luo. Today, he or I die. Let the ninja pass the command to let the Motokakura of Otaka Castle be dispatched together when the general attack is made. It is important to disrupt the deployment of the Oda family. The big fool's formation is not defended behind. At that time, we will be in the opposite direction and bloom in the middle.’ Yoshimoto Imakawa held the round fan and his eyes were red with excitement. It seemed that he had seen the scene of the Imakawa family replacing the shogunate after the successful Guila.

‘Hi.’

After a little rest, the Imakawa army once again came from the narrow path of Tuosama Mountain. The difference this time is that the Imakawa family's team is endless, as if it will never be able to see the end, and they pass by one team after another. The formation has also changed. It is no longer the peasant soldiers who are cannon fodder in front and the samurai team behind. Instead, each samurai is equipped with four or five peasant soldiers to advance together.

‘Baguyalu, this old guy Imakawa is going to fight hard.’ Ikeda Hengxing looked at it with my telescope and cursed a few times, then ran back to his defense.
