The consequence of the Oda army being in the limelight was that they were almost dumped when they were chased and intercepted by several troops from the Miyoshi family. In the end, it was the kind-hearted father-in-law, Saito Michizan, who came to the west side of Kyoto to help him, and Oda Nobunaga had a chance to escape.
Day of birth. By the time the Oda Army and Saito Army returned to their main formation at Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine, the night was already deep.
However, the post-war evaluation meeting had no intention of ending. In the brightly lit camp, the samurai from each family were angrily accusing each other of betraying friendly forces - even they themselves had betrayed friendly forces without hesitation.
Of course, this kind of quarrel reached its climax when Oda Nobunaga and Saito Douzan entered the camp - after all, they were the two most egregious in the entire battle.
"Yamashiro Mamoru, and Oda Saburo, I think you need to explain it carefully." Tsutsui Shunaki also ignored the Buddhist etiquette and the tolerance developed from past practice, and saw Saito Douzan and Oda Nobunaga coming back.
After that, he immediately turned his gun and attacked them first - after all, among the Confederate army, only his Tsutsui family was the most deceived:
"What are you doing? Didn't Sanjusangendo Temple be defeated by you? What happened after that? Where did you go? There is clearly a flag on Sanjusangendo Hall, why is there no one stationed there? Let the Northern Army cross Sanjusangendo Hall directly
Sangendo attacked Takio Shrine? How many people from my Tsutsui family died, how do you explain it?"
"It's extremely bad." Kitahata Harugu, who also had to resist the main force of the Northern Army because of the negligence of the Oda Army and Saito Army, also stood up and cursed: "Do you know what you are doing? Let the enemy go south! This kind of
What is the difference between this behavior and collaborating with the enemy? Your Highness, please punish the Oda family and Saito family immediately for their actions!"
Tsutsui Junaki and Kitahata Harugu opened their mouths, and the crowd in the camp immediately became excited. However, Oda Nobunaga disagreed with this, put his hands on his hips, and shouted confidently:
"What I want to think about is winning, winning this battle for us, so I want to fight all the way north to the palace and Nijo Castle. I will attack wherever there is a flaw in the Northern Army's line. Do I want to imitate you?
Is it possible to conquer a dilapidated temple and sit there until dark? If we were all like you, would it be possible to win this battle? Is it possible for the world to regain peace? I fought at Nijo Castle, and in Nijo Castle
The flag of the Oda family was planted on it, and the flag of our southern army was planted on it, and the northern army was very proud of it! The whole world will praise the martial prowess of our Oda family! What about you? What have you done?"
"This impolite boy!" Oda Nobunaga's words aroused public outrage, and even several daimyo who had interests closer to the Oda family couldn't help but condemn him. However, Oda Nobunaga remained the same, tilting his head and looking unruly.
He is untamed and refuses to obey anyone.
"Everyone, please calm down. We are all righteous men of King Shangluo Qin. How could I do such a treasonous and unethical thing? Please listen to me explain the twists and turns during this process. My son-in-law is young and energetic, and his words are a bit harsh, but
He is also full of loyalty and only thinks about putting down the traitors. For his fault, I apologize to you all for him, and I hope you will forgive me." Saito Michizan, however, was unhurried, constantly pressing his hands to signal everyone to calm down, and then laughed.
He said with a groan:
"After my son-in-law took the lead in capturing Sanjusangen-do, he found that there was a gap behind the North Korean defense line on the west bank, so he immediately crossed the river and got through. I quickly led my troops to make up for Sanjusangen-do's defense line.
But it was discovered that he was ambushed by the Shin-Zenkoji generation and was in crisis. After all, he is a friendly army who is helping each other, and he is my daughter's husband, so he can't just ignore death, right? However, Saito's army has a limited force after all, and it is inevitable that he will lose sight of one thing. I'm afraid that in the end
With no gains to be made at either end, they sent all their troops to cross the river and march westward, and set up false flags at Sanjusangendo Hall in an attempt to deceive the Northern Army. However, they did not expect that the friendly army would be so straightforward and forcefully break through.
, it’s really a miscalculation! It’s my responsibility, please calm down!”
"What Yamashiro Mamoru said sounds good. If you really think so, why didn't you inform the friendly forces of the action? Completely evacuated your own position, but didn't even send an envoy. What does it mean?" Tsutsui Junaki didn't buy him.
He almost crushed the rosary beads in his hand, and said to Saito Dosan through gritted teeth: "The nearly a thousand believers of the Tsutsui family who were killed or injured in this battle were all thanks to you! Our Tsutsui family has no enmity with your Saito family.
, why do you need to do this cruel thing?"
"Master Shunzhao, why did you say this? I clearly sent an envoy." Saito Dao lied without a blushing face: "It's just that there may be war and chaos, and our Saito family really doesn't know the streets of Kyoto.
So he failed to successfully convey the message and was intercepted by the enemy."
"At that time, the south of Sanjusangendo Hall was controlled by our army. Where did the enemy troops come from to intercept and kill them?" Tsutsui Junaki didn't believe a word he said and continued to pursue the blame. Seeing that the situation was about to continue to intensify, Hosokawa Harumoto
Finally he couldn't help but clapped his hands and said:
"Okay, everyone, we are facing a powerful enemy. There is no need to do these things that please relatives and hate enemies. It is inevitable that we will be a little unfamiliar when we cooperate for the first time. However, such dereliction of duty as the Oda family and Saito family must not happen again.
Once. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless, and you will be punished. In mind of your loyalty to King Luo Qin who traveled thousands of miles away, I will let you go this time. As for the Tsutsui family and the Kitahata family who suffered losses due to your family’s fault, they will be punished afterwards.
Deduct it from the reward given to you and compensate them."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Saito Michizan hurriedly leaned over to express his thanks. At the same time, he held down the reluctant Oda Nobunaga and bowed obediently. Tsutsui Junaki and Kitahata Haruto saw this and did not continue to pester.
"The most urgent task is to think about how to defeat the enemy." Hosokawa Harumoto pondered for a moment, but chose to turn his attention to the other side that had been relatively quiet - Taiyuan Sekssai, Imagawa Yoshimoto, Takeda Harunobu, Asakura Soutei,
Rokkaku Sadayori and others did not join in the quarrel, but remained silent.
"Since the offensive has failed, the only thing we can do now is to take Kyoto step by step." Rokkaku Sadayori was the first to speak, "We each camped step by step, one temple after another, slowly advancing the front line and driving out the Northern Army.
."

If the attack involves the three good armies and cannot come back for reinforcements, half of the battle is won!"
"Oda Saburo, how many days do you have enough supplies for?" Asakura Sotechi raised his eyes and looked at Oda Nobunaga, who was immediately speechless.
"Our campaign was a rush attack, and we only brought a small amount of rations. We just wanted to try to see if we could catch the Northern Army by surprise before the Nagao family arrived. Since we failed, we can only think about it in the long term. First lay the supply line.
Come here, dredge the food road, and then push deeper into Kyoto." Takeda Harunobu also defended his command policy: "In a duel with a level of 100,000 people, don't think about finishing it in one battle, unless one side makes an outrageous mistake.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to determine the winner in one day. Be prepared for a long tug-of-war."
April 7, the 14th year of Tianwen (1546), Kyoto.
After logistical adjustments, the Confederate Army successfully extended its supply line from Makishima Castle to the southern section of Kyoto. Using Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine as a granary, it hoarded grain from North and South Omi and Yamato on a large scale. It also used Fushimi Inari Shrine as a granary.
Taisha was the main formation and began to launch a strategy for Kyoto.
After the Southern Army changed its formation, the Northern Army also changed its strategy and set up formations along the Suirinji Temple-Changfukuji Temple-Takio Shrine-Chisakein Line, preparing to make full use of every inch of land in Kyoto and start a tug of war with the Southern Army. In the first
The Otomo Army, Ouchi Army, Nizi Army, Mimura Army, Isshiki Army and Maori Army, which consumed a lot of money in the Second Battle of Kyoto, were replaced on the second line. Those stationed on the front line this time were those who were deployed in the rear as counterattack reserves last time.
The new forces are: the Nagao Army of Suirin Temple, the Akamatsu Army and Urakami Army of Chofukuji Temple, the Yamana Army and Kono Army of Takio Shrine, and the Yusa Army and Hatano Army of Chisekiin.
In contrast, the Southern Army also left the troops with greater losses in the past as the second line, and chose to let the troops who had "sit-in" for most of the day take the lead in launching the offensive. Among them, the Saito Army, the Oda Army, and the Hojo Army attacked Nagasaki via Higashiyama Bridge.
Fukuji Temple and Suirin Temple; Asakura Army and Asai Army attacked Takio Shrine; Rokkaku Army and Wakasa Takeda Army attacked Chisekiin.
But on the first day of the battle, the situation was not optimistic.
Different from the first Kyoto battle, this time the Northern Army's will to resist was more determined. Takio Shrine and Chiseki-in, which were easily occupied before, encountered fierce resistance this time. The Asakura Army was also a strong force of the Southern Army.
It took most of a day, but they still only captured half of the buildings of Takio Shrine, but they finally suppressed the Yamana Army and the Kono Army. Asakura Sotechi originally wanted to instruct the Asai Army to attack from the side, but the Asai Army's combat power
It's really not flattering, and the roundabout operation was easily defeated.
On the other side of Chisekiin, facing the Yusa Army and the Hatano Army, the Rokkaku Army and the Wakasa Takeda Army had almost no achievements. Although Rokkaku Sadeyori's military strategic attainments were far superior to those of Yusa Chokyo and Hatano Haremichi, Rokkaku
The U.S. Army is no longer the powerful force that was accustomed to fighting in the past, let alone the Wakasa Takeda Army. In contrast, the Yusa Army and the Hatano Army have been living a life of licking blood with the tip of the knife in recent years. Their morale is high and they can't hold on.
After retreating, the Rokkaku Army and Wakasa Takeda Army had no choice but to attack fiercely until the afternoon, but it was still difficult to break through Chisukein's position.
But compared to the Oda Army, Saito Army and Hojo Army that went west to attack Higashiyama Bridge, the Southern Army on the east bank of the Kamogawa River was already considered good. Although the combat effectiveness of the Akamatsu Army and Urakami Army was not good, they were quickly captured by the Southern Army.
However, before the Hojo Army, as the vanguard, could even gain a foothold, misfortune had already occurred.
