Great name!

Chapter 27 Nobunaga is furious and starts a war!
The fact that Nobutora escaped assassination due to his personal integrity also reached the ears of Oda Nobunaga. For Oda Nobunaga, this matter was really strange, but it was just the icing on the cake.

For Oda Nobunaga, these are not as useful as achieving military exploits.

And this opportunity came quickly.

After more than twenty days, Xinhu harvested the autumn harvest from the countryside and obtained one hundred and forty shi of grain. Apart from what he needed for his own use, the remaining grain was sold and exchanged for forty guan of Yongle money.

Nowadays, the price of grain is so low that one stone can be sold to a grain collector for 500 Yongle coins, which is considered a high price.

When Xinhu got the money, he gave it all to Axia.

Afterwards, Nobutora returned to Honmaru to cancel his leave, and went on duty the next day to train the iron artillery team.

The Iron Artillery Team is a standing Ashigaru off-duty team, and they were trained under the supervision of Sawaki Yoshiyuki during this period.

Nobutora was coming back to take over the training. Yoshiyuki Sawaki returned the training manual to Nobutora and saluted, "I can't repay Tsuda-sama for your great kindness. However, if you have errands in the future, I will accept my request."

The iron artillery team training manual was written by Nobutora based on his own experience. For Sawaki Yoshiyuki, giving him the training manual was equivalent to showing him the heirloom skills, which was no less than a life-saving grace.

Nobutora quickly declined. In his opinion, learning the training manual was just the beginning, and being good at using the iron artillery team was the core. Otherwise, Sawaki Yoshiyuki could only follow the script and arrange the arrangements strictly according to the training manual, with limited effect.

Nobutora was still refusing, and Inuchiyo Maeda hurried over and shouted: "Nobutora, Yoshiyuki, the war is about to begin!"

Sawaki Yoshiyuki quickly asked: "Brother, what happened?"

Inuchiyo Maeda said immediately: "Nobuo Oda from Qingshu City took advantage of our autumn harvest and sent troops to capture Fukada Castle and Matsuba Castle! Come on, let's go to the master of the family quickly."

Fukada Castle and Matsuba Castle are both southwest of Naguno Castle. Matsuba Castle is close to Naguno Castle. Fukada Castle is northwest of Matsuba Castle, on the west side of the Shonai River, and Matsuba Castle is on the east side.

Oda Nobunaga's capture of these two castles cut off the connection between Furuno Castle and Tsushima. Tsushima was Oda Nobunaga's money bag, and this time he cut off Oda Nobunaga's main artery.

Oda Nobunaga was furious when he heard the news.

The messenger also said that the lord of Fukada Castle, Oda Shinji, and the lord of Matsuba Castle, Oda Igamori, were defeated by the Qingzhou Army and had surrendered hostages.

When Oda Nobunaga saw that everyone was almost here, he immediately said: "Get ready to send out troops immediately. I have already sent a letter to Uncle Nobumitsu, and he will bring troops to support. In addition, Nobuhitsu will send Shibata Katsuie to lead troops, and we will win this battle." No defeat allowed!”

"what!"

Oda Nobunaga looked at Nobutora and said: "Nobutora, this time you lead the iron artillery team and Inuchiyo and the others are the vanguard!"

"what!"

The two immediately came out to respond.

Oda Nobunaga stood up and said: "Tomorrow, we will assemble the troops at 9:00 in the morning. There must be no mistake."

After the meeting, Nobuhu immediately returned home. As soon as Axia saw something was wrong, he asked: "Husband, is there going to be a war? I saw an envoy entering the city today."

Nobutora nodded and said: "The Oda Guardian of Qingzhou sent troops to capture our two cities, Fukada and Matsuba. The head of the family gave a death order and must take them back."

"I know." Axia didn't say much. She immediately took Jiro and Axiang to prepare Nobutora's armor, while Nobutora arranged his own saber, heavy vine bow and spear.

It's not yet dawn, and every household has lit lamps. Xinhu also got up early. Asha and the others got up even earlier and started cooking. Xinhu had hot meals together.

Nobutora quickly finished his breakfast and got up to put on his armor. With the help of Jiro and Asa, he put on the large armor, and then hung up the long wakizashi, katana, heavy vine bow, flint and other items.

The quiver hangs on the other side.

Nobutora took the spear from Jiro's hand, stood up and walked down the corridor, stepping on his straw sandals. The servant immediately stepped forward to tie his shoelaces. He asked: "Are all the soldiers here?"

The servant replied: "The young man went to inform us yesterday evening. They should wait outside the city."

Nobuhu turned around and said, "Then I will go out into battle."

Axia immediately handed Nobuhu a bento, and then saluted with the others: "I wish my husband (brother/master) good luck in martial arts and a triumphant return!"

Nobuhu pulled the war horse out of the yard, and Maori Shengqing also happened to pull the war horse out, and asked with a smile: "Nobuhu, has Asha prepared something for me?"

Nobuhu took out a bento and said, "How could Axia forget your brother?"

Maori Shengqing punched him enviously and said: "You are still the vanguard this time. As long as you make contributions, you will be the iron cannon general!"

Nobuhu was a little excited and nervous. At this moment, he actually began to look forward to the war. However, a few months ago, when he went to the battlefield for the first time, he was so nervous that his mind went blank.

He took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely make great achievements."

According to military service, Nobutora needed to dispatch three samurai on foot, as well as ten ashigaru plus one of his own mounted samurai.

Among them, the ten ashigaru are divided into six gun ashigaru and four bow ashigaru.

Nobutora and Maori Shengqing rushed outside the city and happened to meet up with their own soldiers. At this time, Hirate Masahide, Lin Xiuzhen and other family elders were allocating teams.

Nobutora was designated as the vanguard by Oda Nobunaga. He brought more than a dozen of his soldiers to join the iron artillery team.

At the same time, Sasaki Narimasa, Maeda Inuchiyo and several others accompanied them with a team of gun ashigaru.

Before the war started, Oda Nobunaga should ask the gods to ask about good or bad luck, but Oda Nobunaga simply skipped the ceremony and directly ordered the vanguard to send out troops.

At this moment, the road was shrouded in mist. Nobutora, as the vanguard general, immediately asked Sasanagi Masaru to send detectives to investigate the situation outside the twenty towns ahead.

The direction of the vanguard army's advance was northwest, and they soon arrived at the Shouchi River near Inaniwaji, where they met Akase Seiroku, the vanguard general who guarded the mountain castle Oda Nobumitsu.

As the vanguard general of Nobunaga's army, Nobutora stepped forward to meet Akase Seiroku. Akase Seiroku was a little surprised. He did not expect that the vanguard general of Nobunaga's army was a young man.

Akase Seiroku stepped forward and said, "I am Akase Seiroku, the retainer of the guardian mountain castle palace."

Nobutora replied: "I am Tsuda Nobutora, a member of the Red Mother Clothes of Tanzheng Zhongdian Hall."

"Oh? Are you that Tsuda Nobutora? I've admired him for a long time." Akase Seiroku's tone became much softer.

This made Nobuhu a little confused. What kind of reputation did I get?
He asked: "Sir Akase, have you heard of me?"

Akase Seiroku smiled and said: "More than ten days ago, a businessman passing by told me that Mr. Tsuda moved your assassin because of his kindness and filial piety. This made me admire him very much."

Nobuhu was a little surprised and said: "Has this matter already spread? This really makes me feel ashamed."

Akase Seiroku said in a kind tone: "This time we start a war with Oda Nobuyuki, I can only rely on Tsuda-sama."

Tsuda Nobutora said with confidence: "Don't worry, Akase-sama, I will definitely make a contribution in this battle!"
