Mowing Down


 Continuing with the Osaka campaign in 1575.

The Chronicle of Lord Nobunaga (p. 220)

"On the 14th of the Fourth Month, Nobunaga's army moved close to Ozaka and mowed down the entire crop in the area. His forces were estimated to be than a hundred thousand strong. Such a huge army, one that was magnificent from top to bottom, had by all accounts never been seen before. It made an enormous impression on town and country, noble and mean alike."


Nobunaga no tame!
