石山本願寺
After Harada Naomasa's death during the campaign, Sakuma Nobumori was chosen as Harada's replacement as part commander of the Siege of Ishiyama Hongan-ji and given troops from seven provinces placing him in command of the largest Oda-clan army among the Oda retainers. By then, 51 outposts had been built around the central fortress, many equipped with arquebus squads.
