Oda Nobunaga, quite pleased with his recent conquest over the province of Mikawa. Had now set his sights on Totomi and Suruga. However, he could not be in two places at once. It had seemed almost destiny when one Hintsune Juyian had arrived in the Mikawa province and desired to serve him.
He had ordered Juyian to take Suruga province. Which no doubt would have a much larger force. So in knowing that, he had sent most of his forces with the woman. He would muster his remaining troops to take Totomi.
His ambition would not be stopped. This province was one worth at least 10,000 Koku. Which during this time was more or less what had fed the people and provided the necessary funds to build. A worthy land for Nobunaga. He had arrived just when he wanted to.
Nobunaga sat on top of his steed as per-usual. With Mori Ranmaru at his side. A most loyal general and bodyguard. This place of Totomi would feel Oda's wraith. His men positioned and the defending force would be unaware of his arrival as his troops were all camouflaged.
They would all proceed within the town and furthermore within the fortification here. His aims were to get his force within the fort without having to take down the gates. Though one such as Oda Nobunaga would of been easily recognized by the defending force. Especially with his recent success.
Therefor he would stay behind. Just outside of the town itself. While Mori Ranmaru personally went along with the camouflaged troops inside of the fortification.
Oda Nobunaga is bringing 2,980 Samurai.

(No need to do Ota roleplaying out, so I will just do the turn results)
Turn Results:
Unbeknownst to the Ota clan, Oda Nobunaga had already began his assault on the fortification here. They knew that Nobunaga had recently taken Owari and Mikawa, but not that he was coming here.
Their gates into the main fortification had been wide open. It was a normal day with people bustling about their own business. Though Oda had other plans for this province. He had ordered Mori Ranmaru to sneak into the fort with the troops all disguised.
While Oda Nobunaga himself sat out. Of course he would of been recognized. To think that the Demon King would not of been would of been folly. Though Nobunaga had proven that he was no fool.
The troops, along with Ranmaru, had reached multiple gates and had entered with little suspicion. They would have to enter at different gates and different times due to the amount of troops coming in. This would take time and time Nobunaga had.
Troop Counts:
Oda:
2,980 Samurai
Ota:
1,000 Ashigaru
500 Archers

Outside the fort Nobunaga would enter a small tavern, within the town. The tavern was a bit run down but this would suit Nobunaga. He would enter and notice an old man sitting at a table alone. The elder man was not eating or drinking, he had seemed to just be sitting there waiting for someone.
Nobunaga would sit across from him in a relatively large chair. As he sat he would rest his arm on the table. "Do you have the time to chat, old man?"
The elder man would pook his eyebrow and speak softly. "Time is one thing I am running out of..."
Nobunaga would chuckle and speak once more. "Would you spare me the time to gloat?"
The elderly man would smile and nod. "If it so pleases you..." When he said this a waiter arrived and offered them wine. Nobunaga would smirk at the woman. His hand would reach out and snatch the glass and begin to drink.
As he finished he would speak. "Japan needs a ruler, now whether the people appreciate my way of doing things. The one thing that they can not deny is that I get results." The old man continued his smile and did not interrupt him. "Why must they fight me? I am to be ruler over all of Japan and yet they still defy me." The glass now almost empty as Nobunaga chucked once again.
"As of now, only the Chosokabe can threaten me, but even so..." The old man would wave his hand at Nobunaga.
"No one man can rule the entirety of this nation. You must be prepared for those who challenge you and within that preparation, you might as well be as evil as possible..." Nobunaga was intrigued with his answer and disregard his interruption. "Evil is a matter of opinion. If it is your destiny. Then by all means do not defy the heavens."
Meanwhile...
Along with Mori Ranmaru the troops had begun infiltrating the fort. Each entering roughly around ten at a time. To not arouse suspicion, though their weapons had to be heavily concealed and most could not even carry swords. But smaller knives, let alone they could not think of their spears. Though some did have their swords concealed.

The task was almost complete for Ranmaru as more and more of the troops arrived within the fort. IT would not be long now before they would strike. Ranmaru was ready for this battle to be over quickly.
Back at the inn...
The old man had finished talking and Nobunaga would chuckle. "With your age you have become wise old man." His hand now scratching at his chin. "Then so be it!" Nobunaga would not waver from his goals now, his ambition. No, he was confident and he would do his utmost to succeed.

Seeing as how walking up the steps to get on top of the wall would arouse suspicion, Ranmaru would gather roughly 1,000 Samurai around one of the steps. This would also arouse suspicion but it was not something to avoid.
The rest would begin their assault and start attacking any wearing the Ota colors. As well as any holding a weapon. Ranmaru would begin the assault up the steps to the walls. They would slay any in their way, as a few archers fell to Ranmaru's massive Katana.

-Mori Ranmaru
His extended katana halfing the enemy archers as he ran up to them. Many fell quickly as he and his band had advanced to the tops of the wall. The rest of the unit, spread throughout the fort, would be all attacking the enemy.

-Mori Ranmaru
His blade now drenched in blood, his attire covered in blood. He had a mission and he was going to fulfill it for his lord. His blade cleaving through a few more archers as his unit began taking the wall section around the stairs. They would be advancing through the rest of the wall sections. The Samurai highly trained warriors would kill both the Ashigaru troops and the Archers with little resistance. Due to Oda Nobunaga's brilliant plan.
-Oda Nobunaga
He would leave the small inn and proceed outside. A smile would appear on his face, as cries could be heard coming from the fortification. Surely Ranmaru was close to succeeding in his plot. "Wonderful."

-Mori Ranmaru
As the battle was going in their favor Ranmaru would approach the edge of the wall section he was currently positioned on. He would wave to the men below and issue commands. "You had all better not fail Lord Nobunaga! Secure the gates, kill any with a weapon!" His orders were simple, but he himself was not a general. Afterwards he would save an Oda Samurai's life by killing an archer before he released his bow.
-Oda Nobunaga
On the outskirts in front of the end, Oda Nobunaga would laugh. He knew Ranmaru would not fail him, but his mind was elsewhere. Had his newest general, Hintsune Juyian, failed or was victorious, did she need reinforcements? All went through Nobunaga's mind, but only time would tell.

Hintsune Juyian strode onto the outskirts of the battlefield with the army granted to her by Oda Nobunaga for her last battle, as well as those that defected to her. Approaching the outskirts as re-enforcements, her and her army would march in. They may not make it for the battle but Juyian wanted to report what had happened. She was also curious as to what fate befell Nobunaga, although she knew it unlikely he had fallen. She would turn to the men she had captured, along with the general she had tied up.
"You are about to meet the man who employed me to defeat you. Regardless of what you might or might not have heard, he will be completely different, I assure you. And if you intend on staying loyal, you will likely live. If not.. then that's a pity. Now, let us carry on."
Assuming he wouldn't be too close to the action, Juyian and her forces would search for Oda Nobunaga.
(2,945 Samurai, 965 Ashigaru and Matsudaira Yoshiko arrive as re-enforcements under Hintsune Juyian)
