Chapter 52
Indeed, in the place where there are hundreds of battles in the city of Shigeru, no general is in charge and can easily attract the snobs to peep. Asichi said that good steel is used on the blade, and my opinion is that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. I think that one day I can fight a small monster, so I will start to defend world peace and eliminate the five major invaders of the Milky Way. However, the most important thing at the moment is to break the Oda family's encirclement net. The shrewd Oda Nobunaga also knew that blindly defended without a future, and could only break the enemies of the encirclement net one by one. In this way, all the generals under Oda took elite soldiers and generals to gather in Inabayama Castle in September of the fifth year of Yonglu. These also included me and my 2,500 soldiers.
At the pre-war conference in Inayayama Castle, Oda Nobunaga pointed the target of this attack directly at Ise's Kita Akuta's Kyoto. The reason is also very simple. After the Kita family joined the Oda family's encirclement in early July, they joined forces with the monk soldiers of Nagashima Castle to invade Ohara, and captured Momori Castle, and killed Oda Nobuyuki, the younger brother of Oda Nobuyuki.
This young man who was supposed to be killed by Oda Nobunaga and Shibata Katsuya in history. It may be the butterfly effect caused by my time travel. Oda Nobuyuki did not die at Oda Nobunaga, but was killed by Kita Shizuo and Yixiangsong a few years later.
Although Nobuyuki Oda once rebelled against Nobunaga Oda, the Japanese always have a thought that their retainers can humiliate themselves in every way and make him cut off the stomach for a small matter. However, if they are bullied by outsiders, they will not give themselves face, even if they are not right.
The victim was Oda Nobunaga's younger brother, a family member of the Oda family, and the former master of Lin Tongsheng, Shibata Katsuya and others. At the oath-taking ceremony, Shibata Katsuya expressed passionately that he wanted to avenge the former master and demanded to be the pioneer of the attack on the Ise Kitada family. Seeing that everyone in the Shibata family dressed in mourning clothes, if I didn't know the cause of Oda Nobuho's death in history, I might be really moved.
The 15,000 army was unstoppable and entered Ise's territory. Kita Ashikazu led two great ministers, the Kobe family and the Nagano family, barely pieced together eight thousand soldiers during the harvesting season, but they were killed in a battle between Yunouchi. As the deputy general of this Battle of the Ise, Oda Nobunaga gave me a arduous task to surround Okanuchi Castle and subdue Kita Ashikazu.
Although I don’t know how Oda Nobunaga thought about it, I had less than 3,000 troops and surrounded Okanuchi Castle with two thousand defenders. Due to insufficient troops, I applied several times and finally dragged Lieutenant General Ninoha Nagahide into the water and attacked Okanuchi Castle with me. I and Ninoha Nagahide and I had more than 4,000 people, which formed an advantage over Okanuchi Castle.
General Oda Nobunaga led 6,000 people to surround the Kobe family Anotsu Castle, where only one thousand people were stationed, and the pioneers Shibata Katsuya and the second striker Katsutori surrounded the Nagano Ichi Toba Castle, which had less than 800 people.
Iseta Shrine and Temple, we were not polite when we arrived here. We drove out the monks from several temples and directly attacked the base camp of Okanoi City. Ninoha Nagahide looked at the map of Okanoi City drawn by the ninja in the camp, "The city of two thousand people, and the attack of four thousand people is not enough."
I agreed, 'I said so. Who knows what the lord sells in the gourd?'
The general under Niba Nagahide's official rank, Kishita Fujiro Yoshiro suddenly slapped the table, 'I understand.'
Looking at the eyes of me, Ninoha Nagahide and others, Kishishito Yoshiro said excitedly, "My lord did not ask us to capture Okanuchi Castle, right? My lord wanted to use his superior forces to capture Annotsu Castle and Toba Castle first. This is the right-hand man of Okanuchi Castle. The three cities used to be horns and could support each other. Now that the three cities are attacked at the same time, this advantage is gone."
Ninoha Nagahide said, ‘Fujiyoshiro. What do you mean is that we just need to stop Okanoi Castle from sending reinforcements before the Kobe and Nagano families are captured?’
‘It’s almost the same, but I think it’s better to have a feint attack for the sake of face. After Anozu Castle and Toba Castle subjugate, the army will join forces and the Kitada family will be in the near future.’
I shook my head gently, 'Kishita Fujiro's idea may be correct, but after the lord and his wife took Anozu Castle and Toba Castle, we may be criticized without any progress.' I did not say a deeper reason. Since I received the official position of Cainumao, which was awarded by the imperial court, Oda Nobunaga's attitude towards me has also changed subtly. First, the Mizuno family replaced my Kyoto, and then sent me to the frontline Shikawa Castle. From all the signs, Oda Nobunaga wanted to use the enemy's hands to weaken me.
The same is true for attacking Okanuchi Castle. Perhaps waiting for reinforcements here is the safest way, but at that time, it would be fine if I was criticized. However, as the person in charge of attacking Okanuchi Castle, my fate would not be solved by reprimanding me. Perhaps I would be forced to hand over my territory and military power. If I refuse, what is waiting for me may be a separatist. ‘In this way, Lord Nishita leads people to monitor the movements of the main city, and I will lead my troops to remove the fortress outside Okanuchi Castle one by one.’
'It's good that this is the case. Even after His Highness Nobunaga joins the siege, the main task is likely to be ours. Doing some preparations first will be prepared for any eventuality.'
After allocating the work, I returned to the camps. I began to attack the forts outside the Great Hanoi City one by one. The method was still the same. I first used the iron cannon troops to suppress the long-range fire. After the long-range firepower on the fort was cleared, several ninjas carried ** and wrapped them under the wall to blast them. I watched a lot of movies about the revolutionary martyrs fighting forts. After the wall of the forts was blown up, the inside was either killed by the iron cannons one by one, or the entire army went out of the forts from the back door. After a small amount of casualties, they took down all the forts outside the Great Hanoi City.
I was envious of this method, but even if I knew the method, they couldn't afford it. A 20-pound bag would cost five stakes of black gunpowder, and it would take about five stakes to explode a fort. If it continues, they will go bankrupt. For 100% Nagahide and 100% Nagahide Kinoshita, in comparison, they are cheap and cheap.
After capturing all the forts, I found the ninja leader Goemon Ishikawa, "Ishikawa, in your opinion, how much gunpowder is needed to blow up a hole in the Great Hanoi Castle."
‘Lord, the main city of Dahanoi is built against the mountain. Behind the wall is part of the mountain. No matter how many ** is, it is useless if there are too many **s."
‘Forget it, it would be great if I could throw the ** bag into the city.’ It seems that it’s time to fight hard.
‘Lord, there is no way to throw ** into the city.’ Takenaka Half-bud Emansuke beside him said, ‘When I was having the New Year with Kinki, I found that a kind of firecracker that children played with was blown up to the sky before it exploded. Just adjust the angle and increase the amount of medicine…’
I remembered that what Takenaka talked about is the prototype of the modern "second kick"? It still has a lot of lethality. "This method is very good, I like it. Ishikawa, is there anyone in your ninja who can make such firecrackers? It doesn't matter if you don't. From Ouhara, I'll "invite" a few masters to teach you how to do it." As for how to "please" I won't care. However, the skills of firecrackers in this era are generally the old system of passing on their sons and not passing on their daughters. It seems that in addition to money, you have to use some tough means.
Ishikawa asked, there was a master who could do the firecrackers like "second kicking". The method was to use two thin bamboos, and a fuse was connected between the bamboo joints, and the gunpowder was filled with different gunpowder. If you want to make the firecrackers fly, you should add more toner in the gunpowder. You should use "horizontal medicine" at this end of the explosion, and add more saltpeter powder in the gunpowder. If you want to hurt people, bamboo as thick as a thumb was not enough. It was best to use bamboo as thick as an arm, and the length was also increased, each of which was nearly one meter high. There were so many bamboo forests in Japan that people could cut it. Gunpowder was transported in a hurry from Kiyosu Town. Two trucks of gunpowder came over.
