In front of the castle of the Horoe family, one of the gates of the Imagawa river, Lord Okabe whispered in an unknown voice.
Oda's battle is very different from what we hear when we see it up close. Everyone knew that.
If you fight out of the castle, I'll call you a cannon, a bow, and a crossbow [Oh Yumi]. I use them like rain. Of course, it is well known that there is no mercy for those who just wish to fight in one battle.
By throwing a roasted ball into the castle, even if it was a castle, a small number of people would break the castle gate with a golden cannon. I heard about it in the battle with Mikawa's Honjoji Temple, but it doesn't make much sense to go around the moat.
This castle surrendered without being able to fight.
"You can drop a castle of that magnitude right away, but it will be a gateway to the river now." What will you do? If you urge me to surrender in the name of Lord Imagawa again, I will wait a long time. "
By the time I got here, I had dropped a few castles, but it wasn't a solid castle. However, Oda showed consideration for the fact that this is the castle of Gomon.
"I don't mind dropping it." I hope that you will forgive me for being a family member and for helping those who have been captured alive. "
The hearts of the people in the house are not calm, like the Miyagi who bows his head to the inferior Oda nobleman.
Perhaps they have finally understood. It means obedience to Oda. It is not the same as reassuring the territory by obedience in all its forms.
Besides, Oda wouldn't order us to fight in front of him. In the first place, it was a different way of fighting. In the battle, he builds up a team and slams the opponent with a flying tool. I used to throw bows and stones, but the girders were different.
Those who can use bows are still allowed to fight, but they only have to harden their surroundings and intimidate them. As expected, you're not going to let us do the martial arts.
"Left. Then drop it all at once." I don't want to increase the number of dead people with unnecessary care. Oh, this time, it's okay for my family not to come out of the river. Let's drop it here and do our best. "
Mikawasuke has changed in the last few years. The one that once governed Anxiang instead of my father. For now, I'm doing the fighting on my own. Is there a general like Oda Sake Making Right Shogunate or Kuyu's wife who is rumored to be absent?
If we were to compete with Oda in Mikawa, we might have been defeated before the afterfill came from Owari.
Side: Horoejia Family Minister
"What the hell! That army!" The righteous are going to root out their own people!! "
The elders of the Horoe clan yelled at the troops that surrounded the castle, as if their anger could not be contained. That is why I told you. It would be terrifying to fight Oda.
I will not allow anyone like Oda to rain down on me. He laughed that the Horigoshi family of one gate would wake him up, but now it will be the elders who will wake him up.
The elder who had been in hiding was on a business trip because Shinano had been subdued and the whole family was shaken, but it seems that he was in a state of disrepair considering the results.
"Let me show you our feelings!!"
The elderly and the warriors are enthusiastic that now is the time to get up, but it's hard to even show off with that army. Moreover, we refused to surrender to Oda's messengers. Don't worry about it for a second time.
At the end of last year, in anticipation of the Spock family, I secretly sent an envoy to Kiyosu. I don't think Oda will give us any more consideration. In a nutshell, the people of Imagawa would not need it.
"N-No! What's that sound?!"
Everyone moved in a hurry when it was a battle, but suddenly what I heard was a loud noise that I had never heard before. "Yes, I think it was close to the sound of a cannon..."
Again!!
I'm telling you! Something has been fired upon by the enemy and someone nearby has been wounded.
Stone throwing!
Don't the elders notice? I've never heard a sound before, but it's probably Oda's gold cannon or its equivalent. It was rumored that it sounded like thunder.
I heard a story from a person who had seen the castle fall earlier, but I thought it sounded terrible, and I heard that it had fallen overnight.
I don't know what you're shooting at me from all sides, and neither the army nor the earth will be of any use!
"The gate has been broken through!" It looks like a gold cannon! ”
The elders and the Takumi people were surprised by the report of the early entry of the arrow.
"Put women and children in the treasury." Hide in the rice bowl. I don't know if I can stop the golden cannon, but it's probably the strongest there. Oda is called a Buddha. Don't take the lives of women and children in hiding. "
The elders can't do it. I heard they broke through the gate, and when I fought myself, I was headed for the gate. We must at least keep our women and children alive.
The roar and the voice of Oda's soldiers can be heard everywhere. From the news of the movement of the army, it is only a matter of time before this castle falls.
There he is, too!
What happened to the elders? I was in the hall shortly after I ran away, and Oda's soldiers came to me.
"Surrender. I will help you."
A man called out to me who could tell he was a strong man just by looking at him. The people around me were skilled. You can't win with just a few of us.
"I'd like to know your first name."
"Yanagi Shinsuke, Minister of the Kuge Clan"
What a noble man to compete for 12 at Owari. And when I saw them that were with me, I cast down my spear.
"I'm begging you for my life." The rice treasury hides women and children who cannot fight. I pray for their lives. "
You can fight gorgeously for the last time. We must do what we can for those who are left behind. For the good of the late Lord.
"Very well, but I will keep your life until I can see if you are lying. Take me."
Hah!
I could hear the victory as soon as I could. In time, the sound of the golden cannon stopped, and the hand of the fire did not rise, but it seemed to be lost.
I couldn't do anything.
You can fight, you can castle, and you can enter into peace talks.
This is Oda.
Did you scrutinize everything?
"No, there are many who surrendered." There was a plea for Imakawa-san's life. "
Lord Yanagi told me that the women and children had been found safely and protected. Finally, I will ask how the current situation is, but as a samurai, it's a pathetic way to lose.
"Oh, you won't take my life either. Live and redeem your loyalty, and your sins. That's how my lord feels. I will not defeat those who do not resist. If you want to die, do it on your own."
Those who are with them are weeping. You can't hide your remorse in such a pathetic battle. In that case, Lord Yanagiso seemed to be pale to us, so he said so and left.
I saw the gate when I was taken from the castle when I was struck by a rope, but it was destroyed in an unbelievable way. I am reminded that this is the power of the golden cannon.
It looked like the elders and Taksin were the ones who killed him. All the others were broken hearts and wounded by the golden cannon.
I'm reminded more than ever that the Imagawa family rained without a fight.
