Great name!

Chapter 41 Oda Nobunaga lost tens of thousands of stones of territory!
After Tsuda Nobutora's Yuanfu ceremony was over, everyone started the luncheon. Oda Nobunaga and Tsuda Nobutora ate together.

After drinking for three rounds, Oda Nobunaga said: "Everyone, there are not many days left for you to be so happy."

This sentence made Nobuhu and everyone else stop what they were doing. Nobuhu asked directly: "Why did the master of the family say this?"

Oda Nobunaga replied: "The Yamaguchi family took refuge in the Imagawa family and lured the wolf into the house. I don't need to say more about the power of the Imagawa family. Everyone knows that if the Yamaguchi sect is not resolved, the Imagawa family's army will enter Owari unimpeded."

Everyone immediately started discussing the facts Oda Nobunaga said.

The current Imagawa family is a behemoth, controlling the Three Kingdoms, with a stone worth millions. Compared with the current Oda family, a feeling of despair appears in everyone's hearts.

Nobutora also knew the difference, but he knew that Oda Nobunaga had the last laugh, and when Oda Nobunaga said this at this time, he was definitely on target.

He immediately asked: "What is the master's plan?"

Oda Nobunaga stood up and said: "We have no choice. We must capture Yamaguchi Kotsugi. After a while, we will send troops to capture the Sakurazaka Village and Kasa Temple Village built by Yamaguchi Kotsugi. Nobutora and the Iron Artillery Team will also Get ready for war."

"what!"

After Oda Nobunaga finished speaking, he stood up and left.

Nobutora looked at Oda Nobunaga leaving, and he knew that Nobunaga would not do useless things.

Tsuda Noburyu on the side called softly: "Brother."

Nobuhu waved his hand and said: "It's okay, the Iron Artillery Team is going to fight, and my chance to make a contribution has arrived."

Sasaki Narimasa said excitedly: "Master Tsuda, attacking a city is not an easy task. Can we make a contribution?"

Takigawa Kazumas also looked at Nobutora longingly.

Nobuhu nodded confidently: "Don't worry, it's absolutely no problem!"

"That's good."

Sasaki Narimasa and Takigawa Kazumasu were even more excited. It was finally their turn to make meritorious deeds.

And Iio Naoki and others looked at Nobutora with envy.

Nobutora originally thought that the war might not start until July or August, but it was only in the afternoon when Sawaki Yoshiyuki came to tell Nobutora that he was preparing to send troops tomorrow.

Nobuhu asked in surprise: "What's going on?"

Sawaki Yoshiyuki said: "Both Dagao Castle and Takake Castle have been captured by Yamaguchi Kotsugi."

"what?"

Nobutora was greatly surprised. Although he knew the history of Japan's Warring States Period, he didn't know much about the details. He only knew about the Battle of Akatsuka and the Battle of Xuanjin because of the game. For example, Yamaguchi Kensugu captured Otaka Castle and Takake Castle. I don’t remember.

But he remembered that during the Okehazama War, these two cities were under the influence of the Imagawa family.

Xinhu has been in this era for a year and still knows a lot about Dagao City and Tagua City.

These two castles controlled the road from Naguno Castle to Chita County.

The seizure of these two castles caused the southeastern part of Aichi County to become the power of the Imagawa family, and Chita County was basically taken away by the Imagawa family.

The Mizuno family in the southern part of Chita County then took refuge with the Imagawa family.

It can be said that the tens of thousands of stones owned by Oda Nobunaga are gone.

No wonder Oda Nobunaga is in a hurry to send troops. If Yamaguchi Kotsugi is not attacked, the core territories such as Nakono Castle in Aichi County will be in danger.

Nobutora replied: "Lord Sawaki, please tell the head of the family that I will be there tomorrow morning."

He returned home with his younger brother Xinlong, immediately changed his clothes, and then asked Axia and Xinlong to sort out his armor and weapons together.

Nobuhu cleaned up the iron cannon in his hand, checked the gunpowder, match rope and other items, and then put it down with peace of mind.

Axia was very worried when she saw that Nobuhu was about to go on an expedition. Although she and Nobuhu had a physical relationship, they had not yet reached the final step. Nobuhu saw the advantage in Axia's eyes, and he immediately comforted him: "Don't worry, I'll be fine."

A-Xia nodded and then packed things silently.

At night, Nobuhu and Axia both slept properly. After all, the war started tomorrow, and they were still having fun tonight. How could they fight tomorrow?

The next day, before dawn, Nobuhu was already dressed, and then he and his younger brother Noburyu went to the residence hall.

Tsuda Noburyu went to the survey office to find Murai Sadakatsu, while he went to Oda Nobunaga's yard.

Oda Nobunaga put on his armor under the service of his maid. When he saw Nobutora coming, he said directly: "Take your iron artillery team and set off!"

Nobutora nodded and saluted, then left the yard, mounted his horse and ran to the school grounds. Sasaki Narimasa and Takigawa Kazumasushi had already organized their team.

He waved and said: "Let's go, target Yingzhong Village!"

Yingzhong Village is very close to Naguye Castle, only about two thousand meters away.

They dispatched troops at dawn, and half an hour later, Nobuhu led the iron artillery team to the vicinity of Yingzhong Village.

At this moment, there was white mist all around him, and he could only vaguely see the firelight on the watchtower of Yingzhong Village.

Sasaki Narimasa asked: "Master Tsuda, what should we do next?"

Nobutora ordered: "Take advantage of the current heavy fog and attack immediately. Lord Sasa and Lord Takigawa, you two will each lead a team and attack Yingzhong Village with me!"

Sasana Narimasa and Takigawa Kazumasu immediately ran to order troops, and a team of three hundred people formed a long snake formation and headed towards Yingzhong Village.

They walked more than a hundred meters and could already see the outline of Yingzhong Village. The ashigaru on the watchtower must have seen something strange and was giving a warning. Yingzhong Village began to become active.

Nobuhu was riding on his horse and raised his spear to stop the team from advancing. He ordered: "Get ready!"

As the military music sounded, the iron cannon ashigaru immediately loaded gunpowder according to the procedure.

The soldiers in Yingzhong Village immediately became nervous when they heard the sound coming from the mist.

The Yamaguchi retainer in charge of this stronghold immediately shouted: "Archers, prepare, fire arrows when you see the enemy! Lancers, wait at the gate of the stronghold immediately!"

"Bang bang bang..."

While Yamaguchi's retainers were still mobilizing their troops, there was a loud noise in the mist, and then many soldiers screamed and wailed and fell to the ground. Those who fell to the ground were bleeding profusely.

The rest of the people were shocked. They had never used iron cannons, so they naturally did not know that these people were killed or injured by iron cannons. They only thought that the mist outside was full of ghosts and monsters.

"What the hell is that?"

"That noise was everywhere!"

"How many enemies are coming!"

The people in the village immediately became confused and asked each other.

Within a minute, the sound of iron cannons rang out again, and Yamaguchi's retainer saw with his own eyes that his soldier's head was smashed, and blood spurted on his face.

"Ah! Evil spirit!"

Yamaguchi's retainer was frightened by this scene. He turned around, mounted his horse and ran away.

When other people saw their colleagues who were suddenly wailing and even dying without warning, they could no longer hold on, and they all shouted that there was an evil spirit in the fog, turned around and ran away.

Nobutora's iron artillery team fired from three sides, northeast and west. After only two rounds, the remaining Yamaguchi soldiers and horses ran away from the south gate.

However, due to the heavy fog, he could not see the specific situation, so he played three rounds as usual.

Just as he was hesitating whether to go and see the situation, Toshiie Maeda ran over and shouted: "Mr. Tsuda, the head of the family is here, please step back first."
