Amako to Chugi Kita Omi Kassen Kokoroe 8 (Shogakukan Bunko J I 04-8 Shogakukan Jidai Novel Bunko)

[Machine Translation] The Hashiba army captured Kamitsuki Castle. The Amago faction, led by Amago Katsuhisa and Yamanaka Shikisuke, along with the Yoichiro clan who had joined them as auxiliary cavalry, took up guard duty at the castle; however, only the wise Samon accompanied Kuroda Kanbei to Himeji Castle to train as a military strategist. It was an awkward farewell with Benzo, who resented Hideyoshi for the brutal execution of women and children during the Battle of Kamitsuki Castle. Meanwhile, Hideyoshi s actions enraged the Harima clan and caused turmoil even during the military council at Kakogawa. Sure enough, Nagaharu Bessho defected from the Oda clan and raised his banner at Miki Castle; soon, Kamitsuki Castle where 2,000 defenders were holed up was surrounded by a Mori army numbering as many as 30,000. The deafening roar of 500-monme cannons drove the Amago forces, who had been holding out, into a desperate situation. Yoichiro and his men organized a suicide squad and set out to destroy the enemy s large cannons. The eighth installment of the popular series a desperate struggle for survival!
