In mid-May of the fifth year of Echoro, just when Masara was behind the scenes, the Toei Imagawa family besieged the Toei Imagawa family's siege to the Suzukawa family's siege, and there was another hidden danger in Tokawa Ichiyasu's family, in the Tsushima area at the junction of Okawa O and Ise countries, a large number of Oda family troops began to gather.
"It seems that it's another Imakawa Yoshimoto!" After seeing the information about the attack on the Suruga Imakawa family in his hand, Oda Nobunaga, who was in the tent of our own camp, said to himself.
Seeing that the Imakawa family was going to be unified again, Oda Nobunaga, who had a blood feud with the Imakawa family, naturally couldn't stand it. Although the Toyoe Imakawa family that suddenly appeared secretly sent the Maeda Taki family, who was originally the retainer of the Oda family, to come back as an envoy to show their affection, and it is reported that the relationship between Imakawa Zaner and Imakawa Yoshimoto has always been bad, compared with the Toyoe Imakawa family, Oda Nobunaga still believed in the Maeda family that had just formed an alliance with the Oda family (Oda Nobunaga at this time did not know that Maeda Toyokara had been renamed Toyogawa Imakawa).
"What a pity!" After thinking about this, Oda Nobunaga couldn't help but feel a little regretful. After all, if the Oda family and the Matsuhei family were about to annex the Suruga Imagawa family at this critical moment when the Toruga Imagawa family was about to annex the Suruga Imagawa family, then at least the Toruga Imagawa family cannot annex the Suruga Imagawa family, and the new Imagawa family would not be reunited so quickly. Although Oda Nobunaga had no good feelings for the Suruga Imagawa family, he still hoped that the Suruga Imagawa family could support it when it involved his own family interests.
However, although he had the plan to sneak attack the Toei Imakawa family from the rear, it was a pity that neither the Oda family nor the Matsue family had the conditions for sneak attack at this time, which was also the reason why he felt sorry for himself.
First of all, the Matsue family is just a powerful family of the Three Rivers Kingdom who had just left the Imakawa family and announced that they had not even been reunited. At this time, even the Three Rivers Kingdoms have not been reunited, and their strength can only be protected. Therefore, the Tomeng Imakawa does not cause trouble to the Matsue family, which is already a good thing for the Matsue family. Therefore, unless the Oda family joins forces, the Matsue family will never take the initiative to provoke the Tomeng Imakawa family at this time.
As for the Oda family, after a sudden attack before, and the support of the reinforcements sent by his father-in-law Saito Dosan to assist the attack, the Oda family had already ordered the Katayama family, the Himemura family, the Chihime family, the Kasugabe family, the Kasugabe family, the Akagi family, the Akagi family, the Akagi family, and other wealthy families in the Toshie area to surrender. Only the Honan Temple of Yixiangsen was still resisting. This time, Oda Nobunaga planned to concentrate part of the current military force of the Oda family and solved the Honan Temple in one fell swoop.
Therefore, this is the most critical period for the Oda family. Naturally, I cannot be distracted from joining the Matsue family to deal with the Tomeng Imagawa family. However, when I think back at this moment, Oda Nobunaga suddenly felt that the sudden appearance of the Tomeng Imagawa family was really lucky, right?
At the beginning, when Imagawa Yoshimoto was killed by him and the Imagawa family fell into emptiness. When the Imagawa family was panicked, the Imagawa family governor of the Imagawa family suddenly emerged to compete for the Imagawa family governor after Imagawa Yoshimoto's death. He even took advantage of the emptiness of the Three Rivers and the Imagawa country and the Imagawa country were empty and panicked, and took the opportunity to seize a large amount of territory with the great ritual of the heir designated by Imagawa Yoshimoto's will.
During this period, the Oda family, who had just won, was busy rectifying the internal affairs. The Hojo family and Takeda family, who were allies of the Imakawa family, were even restrained by the Kanto army organized by Kenshin Uesugi and were unable to send troops to support the Imakawa family in time. So Imakawa Jungre had enough time to establish a solid foundation in the eastern regions of Toho and Mikawa countries.
When the Hojo family was finally able to come out to support the Imakawa family, he was suddenly defeated by Imakawa Jung. Although he finally stabilized the defense line with the help of the Hojo family's powerful general Tsunazuki, allowing the Imakawa family to retain the Suruga Kingdom. However, at this moment, the Hojo family's chief demon lion, Hojo Shiyashi was suddenly killed, and he was a retainer of the Toroe Imakawa family. As a result, the entire Kanto immediately surged.
What's even more annoying is that as another ally of the Imakawa family, the Takeda family actually started the fourth Battle of Kawaakashima in the Shino area with the Uesugi family. Therefore, this time the Toei Imakawa family fully invaded the Suruga Imakawa family.
Looking back now, Oda Nobunaga couldn't help but feel a little scared. All this seemed to be too coincidental. No matter how you think about it, Oda Nobunaga felt that someone seemed to be pushing something behind the scenes.
"No, the Oda family must take down the Ise area as soon as possible." After thinking of this, Oda Nobunaga couldn't help but say firmly. Regardless of whether someone was really promoting the development of Tokaido behind the scenes, the situation in the Kanto region will develop, as long as the Oda family becomes stronger, they will naturally be able to face the changes in the situation calmly.
"This battle must be quite fierce, because the opponent is a group of crazy believers!" Just as Oda Nobunaga was determined to occupy Ise as soon as possible, outside the military tent, the soldiers in the flagpole were also discussing the upcoming battle against Honanji Nagashima Castle.
"Does the lord really plan to break with Yixiangzong?" At this time, there were still some Buddhist soldiers muttering to themselves.
So, in this way, a large group of people passed through Ise Bay, and Nagarakawa came to the territory of Honanji. Although the amphibious troops had already set up their formations at the site, no one knew what Oda Nobunaga was thinking.
And when the reinforcements belonging to Mino Saito's family arrived, the lord Oda Nobunaga finally appeared in front of everyone:
"Come on! This is the moment when I force out the cancer in my body, and there is no one to say." Oda Nobunaga's roar made all the soldiers greedy again to the momentum he had in Ohara Kingdom before, taking the opportunity to destroy the territory by the local temple shrine forces during the civil strife of the Oda family, and launched a large-scale countermeasure against those temple shrines when they were in trouble.
"There is nothing to say about all this. They use the name of Buddha as an extraterritorial place in their territory. They cannot promote Buddhism without hair. Instead, they become the nests of those who escape. They have taken the lives of many people in our family and constantly hindered our family's way out. Therefore, our family wants to let them see and see. In the end, the divine punishment is terrible, or is I, Oda Nobunaga! I want them to keep this lesson in mind forever!"
Oda Nobunaga had always hated the apostles very much, but in contrast, this Apostle Ya was also called Oda Nobunaga as "the unforgivable enemy of gods and Buddhas" and constantly cursed the other party...
But no matter how both sides view each other, the battle in front of them will always begin, and under the scorching sun, Oda Nobunaga finally completed the deployment of the entire army.
First, Eguchi on the left wing, with his uncle Oda Nobuki as the general, and the deputy general was Oda Nobunaga Nobuno Kita Ueno Suki. The main combat forces included Ikeda Katsumisu Nobuki, Oda Ohashi Ohashi, and Sakai Goetsumi, and the other powerful generals. The regiment party committee, Nobunaga Nobunaga Nobuki, and the same pro-party forces as Sun Juro Nobuki, Oda Hashiemon Hidenaga, Oda Yujuro Nagari, and other clans, with a total force of about 10,000.
Just this has fully demonstrated that this is a major force. In the right wing Katoeguchi, Katsuya Shibata, was also a large army led by Shibata Katsuya as the general. The deputy general was Nobumo Sakuma, and others included Inaya Iyuma, Ukisuke, and Matsuya Hyogo, who were in the face-to-face warriors. The total force was 10,000.
As for the central army at the Hayaokou, of course, there is no need to mention it. This unit was personally commanded by Oda Nobunaga. The generals were Oda Nobunaga's brother Oda Osumi Nobunaga, and his subordinates included Sasa Naimasa, Sasa Kikyosuke, Asai Shinhachiro, Iga Igamoto, Iinuma Kanhei, Kinshita Hidenaga, Bubangsuke, Marubo Saburo, Kinmon Gorohachi, Ishihachi Kyuro Saemon, etc., plus the Mino reinforcements sent by Oda Nobunaga's father-in-law, a total of about 20,000 people.
On the water surface, there were also naval troops led by Takigawa, Ito, Lin, Shimada and others. When the army's flag appeared on the water, Changtan and the surrounding small towns also shouted in an instant.
"This time it is not only a general battle, but also to show the world whether superstition wins? Or is it that I, Oda Nobunaga, won by force? Therefore, I will never forbid you from attacking the other party's city, and I am not allowed to let anyone go. As long as it is an enemy, they must be killed!" Originally, war was cruel. In the war, no one could estimate the losses of both sides. Therefore, Oda Nobunaga insisted on destroying Nagashima, which was within his territory.
However, the opponent is not an ordinary person, but a fanatical believer who does not hesitate to live and prefers to sacrifice himself to the Pure Land rather than surrender. Of course, Oda Nobunaga is also different from ordinary people. Therefore, when the conflict between the two begins, it is equivalent to the launch of the most large-scale brutal action in the world.
"Once you retreat, you will fall into a hell that will never be restored. Only by moving forward desperately can you see the light again! In any case, we must defeat the Buddha's enemy Oda Nobunaga!" One side uses faith as the power to the end of the war of resistance.
"This time, all the enemies must be wiped out no matter what, and no one can let him escape!" The other side was a rare revolutionary.
When the war began, the fierceness of the war was far beyond words. They hated each other and cursed each other, so they shed more blood.
After the war started, Oda Nobunaga said even more excitedly: "The Toei Imakawa family has started to take action. They are attacking the Suruga Imakawa family in full swing. Soon, a new Imakawa family will be unified again, and a new Imakawa Yoshimoto will appear again!"
This is the secret of the battle of the backwater hidden deep in Oda Nobunaga's chest: "Did you hear it? The situation in Tokaido is urgent, we must buy time to attack here as soon as possible."
So, under his shouts, his morale immediately rose:
"The enemy behind us is the famous Imakawa Jung-seok!"
"If we don't attack Nagashima quickly, we may face threats from the Imakawa family. In this way, wouldn't we retreat again? So hurry up!"
So, with the constant shouts of the retainers, on the way to cross the river, the Oda family's army rushed forward like a bull. When the pioneering troops landed in the five places including Jido's Yamaki Kobashi, Otori, Nakaje, Oshima, Karoshima and other places, they decided to break these small towns around Honan Temple. With the determination to "life will die in one's life", the other party also began to fight back.
Leading tens of thousands of troops across the river is not an easy task, and the opponents are all fanatical believers who sacrifice their lives. Therefore, even as strong as the Oda army, it is quite difficult to fight. The war that began with the battle continued fierce battle every day. On the night of the second day of the battle, Yashima Castle, in Oshima, finally fell into a tough battle. On that night, the typhoon from the sea in the south brought violent winds and rains, constantly invading the area.
Finally, Oshima Ichi Castle raised a white flag to express "surrender", but Oda Nobunaga, who was riding on a horse and bathed in the rain, smiled and said, "I will not accept their surrender! They forgot the compassion of Buddhism and endurance of humiliation. They picked up swords and guns for the sake of fighting for power and profit. They are the believers. How can I let them go? Listen, no matter men, women, young and old, they will be killed and forgiven first."
Although the other party raised the white flag and showed that he no longer wanted to fight again, Oda Nobunaga still refused to give up. As the storm was raging, there were wailing sounds in the city.
In this way, the next morning, the typhoon had disappeared without a trace, and the city was shrouded under a clear sky. However, the difference was that there was wailing everywhere and corpses were everywhere.
"Okay. We must seize the opportunity to win! Next we will flatten Otoshima Island." At this time, the entire army had crossed the river, took a small boat, and set off towards the enemy city through Ise. Secondly, the navy was led by Kishita Fujiro and others, surrounding Nagashima.
Otori Castle was captured on the fourth day, and then Otoshima, Kalu Island, and Yeqiao were captured quickly. Until the eighth day, only Nakajiang Zhicheng, which was left with the only Midoka in the formation, was still resisting.
"We must not relax! If we don't conquer this place immediately, our efforts over the years will be shattered in an instant. To prove that I, Oda Nobunaga, have stronger strength than those believers, we must never take a step back!"
Finally, Nakajiang Zhi Castle was also captured, and the Oda family army tried their best to surround the main castle of Nagashima Mido. This was the tenth day after the war began.
Oda Nobunaga used the human sea tactic to attack the opponent: "Everyone must be adopted in the city or outside the city!"
This may be because Oda Nobunaga was worried about insufficient guns or thought it was the last battle? He did not accept the submission of Zhicheng and ordered the soldiers to massacre all the people in the city. Therefore, the enemy's hatred for him reached its peak.
This is an absolute war. Because of this concept, soldiers are brave enough to take the lead in fighting. Therefore, the total attack launched by Oda Shi at dawn on the 13th day was not difficult to imagine the tragic death of his sacrifice. If used to describe it in words, then this is a bitter battle between evil ghosts and killers and killers.
In Oda Nobunaga's own team, casualties were received one after another.
"Deputy General Osumi Yuki Hiroshi has been killed in battle."
"What? Brother died in battle? Well! Go ahead and continue attacking!"
"Oda Hanzaemon has been killed in battle!"
"Well! Don't care about the death of this clan!"
"Tsuda City Nobunaga Nobunaga fought bravely to fight the enemy..."
"Before capturing the enemy, Shinsei was killed in battle!"
Nobu Nobuki Tsuda City became Oda Nobunaga's Tsukiki, and he was also his sister.
"What? He has been killed in battle with honor?"
"Okay! After our army wins, we will bury him well!"
"Sakai Shiro Saemon has been killed in battle!"
"Miyagisuji was killed in battle!"
"Arakawa Shinhachiro was killed!"
"Fukushima Mizo has already gloriously..." One after another, the news of the generals around him was killed, which made Oda Nobunaga so shocked that he couldn't speak. He sat straight on the horse, staring at the large roof of Nagashima Mido...
At dawn on the fifteenth day, Nagashima Mido started another war. Oda Nobunaga once again mobilized all his troops to launch a total attack! Until the evening of that day, the battle was fierce and had not diminished slightly.
The Nagashima Mido, surrounded by Oda Army from all directions, was also caught in another chaotic yard. Oda Shi suffered nearly 700 casualties on this day, which shows how fierce the war is.
However, this is not a war between military generals, but a war called "one thought". Seeing the heavy casualties, Oda Nobunaga felt even more hatred for the Honanji Temple in Nagashima.
Ordinary Buddhists aim to save all living beings, so Oda Nobunaga really cannot understand why those Buddhists who believe in Buddha can kill others without regrets? Moreover, among the monk soldiers who mainly use believers, many professional warriors have mixed in and commanded and incited without any trace, so that the monk soldiers have more courageously exerted their combat power.
"What's the problem?" That is, in their hearts, they have a hatred of Oda Nobunaga.
"The Buddha's enemy Oda Nobunaga!" I don't know whether it was luck or misfortune, but after Masara Luo and Huiliang, Oda Nobunaga finally won this title. However, this is actually just a slogan put forward by an instigator with unique intentions.
You know, compared to the Luo family’s Masayoshi, is Oda Nobunaga really the enemy of gods and Buddhas? In fact, Oda Nobunaga did not burn the temple as soon as he saw it, nor did he discard or destroy it as soon as he saw the statue of the god. He once specially built the Masahisa Temple for the Hidden Masahisa, which is the best proof!
In his concept, the "United Warring States Period" had nothing to do with religion. Unexpectedly, it was now obstructed by the temple monks and the believers of the Sect. If both sides could think calmly at this time, they would find that the killing was meaningless. However, they no longer had the ability to think rationally. Oda Nobunaga, who had nothing to do with Buddhism, and those believers who did not aim to fight, were all in a state of madness, so they regarded each other as enemies and fought with each other.
Feelings vs. Feelings vs. hates vs. hates. In wars, many unreasonable phenomena will arise, which will fully demonstrate human sorrow and stupidity. In this case, it is no longer possible to clearly distinguish the right and wrong between the two, but if we look at military operations, Oda Nobunaga's reasons are more sufficient.
In Oda Nobunaga's thoughts, anyone who hindered his "unified Warring States Period" must be attacked. The reason why Yixiangsong believed that Oda Nobunaga was a "Buddha enemy" and had to be eliminated quickly was entirely because he was instigated by ambitious people. This sour killing action continued until the evening of that day. When the sun set, both sides finally felt a strong sense of fatigue.
On the evening of the 19th day of the war, the moon was covered by dark clouds. According to the combat habits at this time, the troops would usually be temporarily withdrawn and would be left for the next day to fight.
At this time, generals such as Sakuma Nobumo, Shibata Katsuya, Ikeda Nobuki, and Kinmoto Gorohachi gathered around Oda Nobunaga. When they saw the sad expression on Oda Nobunaga's face, they expressed their condolences to the death of his brother Osumi Shotsuki Hiroshi and Yoshikita Nobunaga.
However, Oda Nobunaga still sat silently on the horse, as if he wouldn't hear what they said at all. His eyes were straight at the large eaves of the Narutosa Temple in the Honan Temple, which was shrouded in the twilight. Sasa Naruta spoke first:
"Mr. Osumi, Mr. Tsuda's performance in this battle is really powerful. I didn't expect that he would die unfortunately this time. It's really sad!" When the others also expressed their condolences.
"Stop!" However, Oda Nobunaga stopped them loudly, and then asked in annoyance, "You guys, who told you to gather here?"
"It's already late, so the bow and artillery team should also withdraw their troops!" Shibata Katsue defended.
"Let me know clearly, Quan Liu!" Oda Nobunaga, who was sitting on the horse, shook his body and said, "This war must be ended today!"
"Ah! What do you mean?"
"Listen to everyone! I decided to destroy those stinky monks who turned against their compassion and humiliation and took out swords and guns to kill people tonight!"
"Ah! So, are you going to start a night battle?"
"It's not a night battle! I want to burn them alive!" Nobunaga Oda said firmly.
"This...this..." Sakuma Noburi was shocked after hearing this, and then quickly took a step forward, preparing to dissuade Oda Nobunaga's crazy decision.
"Annihilation of Nagashima Honkanji?" In an instant, everyone became silent. Sakuma Matsu knew that he had to say something no matter what. Driven by this idea, he spoke:
"Don't you think this behavior is too cruel?"
"Ah! What did you say? Brutal? The stinky monks are the stinky monks!"
"With that being said, there are nearly 20,000 innocent young, young, women and children in the Imperial Hall!"
"Because of this, this war must end within today!"
"But, lord! If you burn them tonight, it will cause lord to be criticized by the world!"
"Yuemon!"
"Yes."
"Do you think I don't burn the Imperial Hall, will the charges caused by the previous massacre of those surrendered?"
After hearing this, Sakuma Noburi was stunned at first. Then he took a deep breath and continued:
"But today's battle has given the other party enough punishment. I believe that they will definitely go to Osaka tomorrow to fight our army again. Don't you understand this? If you understand, there is no need to say more."
But when he said this, Nobusheng was speechless. In the past, Nobusheng had fought against Yixiangzong of Ohara Kingdom for a long time and understood that they were indeed quite tenacious enemies, so he couldn't continue to speak out. If he advised him again, then:
"You guy! If you decide to set fire, it's best to choose night so that the fire looks particularly strong and shock everyone who sees these flames, so I'm waiting for the arrival of tonight!"
Oda Nobunaga is really a stubborn person who refuses to admit defeat! Shibata and Sakuma were also silent because they knew that it would be useless to say more.
"Start the government!"
"exist!"
"You immediately issue an order to the entire army, asking the soldiers to put all the projectiles into the iron cannon and stand by at any time!"
"All the iron cannons need to be loaded with ammunition?"
"Yes! Then they asked them to put the iron cannon on the four sides of the platform and aim the mouth of the main hall in Nagashima Temple."
"Abide by the order!"
"Also, as soon as the hall blew out flames, the others rushed in immediately. Do you understand? Okay, go!"
"yes!"
"The official follows Kyuro Yuemon!"
"exist!"
"You took your subordinates and invaded by Simon and set fire there."
"Yes! But now, I'll need to..."
"Stay listen to me! After about an hour, the enemy will breathe a sigh of relief if today's war is over! Only the flames emitted at that time can surprise them!"
"Abide by the order!"
"If you understand, just do it well! Don't forget that Brother Ling Kose was also killed in today's war, so today, you must annihilate Changdao in one fell swoop. Quan Liu!"
"exist!"
"You and Sakuma immediately go back and tell your men that they will launch a night battle tonight, and ask them to annihilate the enemy with all their might. Remember! You must never let anyone escape. Even if there is a fish that escapes the net, the navy must surround and kill immediately! Go and convey my order!"
"Abide by the order!"
"Even if the sun will rise from the west tomorrow, I will definitely destroy the Honanji Temple in Nagashima on this day!"
"Abide by the order!"
"You all listen carefully. Before tomorrow's night comes, even a wild rat is not allowed to continue to survive on Long Island! There is still half an hour before the action begins. You all go down and prepare!"
At this time, Oda Nobunaga became a murderous demon again! Because many of his blood relatives were killed in this battle, he completely lost his rationality. No! Maybe he did not lose his rationality. Because from his various strategies, it is very likely that he wanted to give Yi Xiangsong from all over the country a warning!
In fact, this is also because Oda Nobunaga did not want more people to sacrifice due to the resistance of monks of the Sect. Under the starry sky, the Oda family once again dragged their tired bodies and walked to the battlefield.
This was an unprecedented massacre. When Oda Nobunaga decided to open the prelude to the massacre, he couldn't help but close his eyes. The formal operation was launched at 8 o'clock that night.
When a flame like a giant dragon rushed into the sky from the inside of the Imperial Hall, the pillar of fire immediately shone on the rivers on all sides. Then a second one sprang up, and the third one... In the blink of an eye, the entire Imperial Hall was trapped in a sea of fire. At the same time, the four strikes sounded a burst of gunfire, and a large number of soldiers rushed towards the Imperial Hall unexpectedly. The Qitang Kalan, which has always been known for its spectacularity, became a sea of fire in less than half a moment.
As the exits of the eight directions were blocked and the flames were running around, the men, women, young and old in the city were all sore and sad. Even so, there were Oda soldiers holding big swords and foreign guns everywhere, chasing them all... Soon after, people, Kalan, city blocks, streets, houses, and pillars were all swallowed by the flames, and the blazing flames dyed the sky and rivers in all directions red... At this time, all people, things and things on Long Island were burned to pieces by the blazing fire.
Oda Nobunaga looked at all this coldly. He had already measured the possible losses both sides might suffer in his heart as to the "arson" strategy he adopted this time. On the second day, the Honanji Temple on Nagashima finally completely disappeared from the local area.
