To solve the immediate trouble, Kira Yoshitoshi still had to worry about the Miyoshi family's navy. He asked Xiao Xing to recruit Yamamoto Tokiyuki, and the two discussed how to fight this time, without fighting back the Awaji navy that had come all the way. From now on, the Yodogawa River and even Lake Biwa will be controlled by the Awaji Navy. The Yodogawa Navy will definitely turn against the Miyoshi family. By then it will be too late to regret it.
Yamamoto Tokiyuki explained: "The Miyoshi family has committed a taboo! Before this, the Miyoshi family had always adhered to the established rules. The offshore navy did not set foot on the inland rivers for operations. The two sides did not interfere with each other and lived in friendship. No matter whether it was Mishima or Anzai in Setouchi, It has nothing to do with the ship owners operating water transport on the Yodo River. They each operate on fixed waterways and channels, and this habit has continued for hundreds of years."
"Hmm, are these the remaining rules from the Genpei era? It seems that Miyoshi Nagakei was really blinded by hatred, and used his power to force and control the Yodo River Basin of Noda. This is not much less destructive than occupying Gyeonggi and becoming the governor. Businesses that rely on the Yodogawa River are all over Japan. Once the Miyoshi family controls the outer sea and inland rivers, it will be difficult for people living on the Yodogawa River. Miyoshi Nagakei has violated the rules that have been established in the Kinai for hundreds of years and has violated the taboo, and he is indiscriminate. Capturing the Yodogawa people will definitely arouse public outrage."
Kira Yoshitomo felt that this was a good opportunity. The Yodogawa people were still unwilling to integrate into the Kira family's system, which was a headache for him. This time, they were forced to join the Kira family's camp by external forces. This was a perfect opportunity. You would really be doing yourself a disservice if you didn't make the most of this God-given opportunity.
Kira Yoshishi said slightly excitedly: "The fishermen who are foraging for food on the Yodogawa River, the bows of the ships responsible for water transportation, and the navy soldiers who gather together with armed soldiers to monopolize the river taps are all counted as Yodogawa people. This time the Miyoshi family We captured many innocent fishermen and boat owners, but failed to capture the core of the Yodogawa people. This is to give the Kira family a chance to take the initiative!"
Yamamoto Tokiyuki smiled and said: "This is indeed an opportunity, so what is the owner going to do?"
"Master, are you testing our family again? Since it is a naval matter, it must be left to the navy. Kuki Shigetaka's navy is our powerful chess piece. In addition, our archery team and iron artillery team can be called upon. , we won’t suffer at all from our firepower alone!”
"There are also grenadiers!" Yamamoto Tokiyuki reminded.
Kira Yoshishi frowned slightly and said: "Yes! There are them too! It's a pity that this time the trump card will be completely exposed."
"The secret will be exposed one day! The owner of the museum must have made preparations for Baolaoyu to be exposed!"
Kira Yoshishi rubbed his head in embarrassment and said helplessly: "Master, as always, you really don't want to save face for me..."
General Yoshitoki Kira immediately issued an order. Navy General Kuuki Shigetaka led his navy to join the Yodogawa people. Archer General Naito Masashige, Iron Artillery General Takigawa Masushige, and grenade commander Kato Kyouaki accompanied them in the battle. Their mission was In order to annihilate the invading naval forces in one fell swoop in the future, the specific combat strategy will be determined by the military after discussion.
"The core of this operation is to lure the enemy! The enemy is in the open and we are in the dark. Lubing the enemy in depth to annihilate the invading enemy forces is the core purpose of this operation! The advantage of our Kira family lies in intelligence, unity, and even more so in the opacity. !The disadvantage is the number of naval forces and the gap in the ships. Even if Anzhai navy only sends one, it will be enough for you to resist! So how to lure the enemy and how to annihilate them depends on you!"
A group of retainers said solemnly: "We will do our best!"
"Well! Since we are fighting the Awaji Navy, we must have clear information! According to what I know, Anzhai Fuyuyasu did not go into battle as a general this time. This time, the general of the Anzhai Navy, Noguchi Fuyunaga, in order to deal with our family Anzhai
The navy also dispatched a large team consisting of five Anzha ships, fifteen Kanshu ships and several morning ships, which will leave for Yodogawa tomorrow afternoon at the latest."
"Hiss! There are also Anzhai ships?" This time it was the turn of the retainers below to be surprised. The Anzhai ships are a special technology of the Anzhai family. This is not as simple as shutting down the ship in a larger size. It has attack power, defense power, and invisible deterrence.
His strength has been greatly improved. One Anzha boat is equivalent to a giant on the water. The small boats can only go around him when they see him. Even the Kira family's navy, all bundled together, cannot stop five Anzha boats.
Kato Kyouaki said with some doubts: "The height of the ship's side is not enough, so baking jade may not be effective, right?"
"Yes! The side of the Anzha ship is higher than the Seki ship, and the Anzha ship's defense is very strong. Even the iron artillery team can hardly kill the Miyoshi navy inside the ship." Takikawa Masushige also shook his head.
Kuuki Shigetaka looked a little disappointed and sighed: "The fortress-like hull is difficult to be hit hard, and the high side of the ship has hidden shooting ports. This kind of Anzha ship is really difficult to deal with!"
"Is it because the Anzha ship has such advantages that it is used as the secret weapon of the Awaji Navy?"
"Yes!" Several warriors who were proficient in naval warfare frowned and said nothing.
"Does that mean you can't break that tortoise shell no matter what?" Kira Yoshi was very disappointed. It was the first time he discovered that the Anzha ship was so difficult to deal with. In his eyes, all ships in the Middle Ages were scum, with iron cannons and
The baked jade should be easy to get rid of, but judging from the current feedback, it seems to be far from ideal.
Kuuki Shigetaka thought for a moment and then continued: "It's not impossible! The stern of the Anzai ship is the only weakness. The heavy load, the high side of the ship and the deep draft are also a weakness. If the Anzai ship can be led into the tributary of the Yodo River, there should still be a chance.
Find a way to deal with them."
"In this way, even if the Anzha ship does not dare to enter the tributary, we can also take advantage of the waterway and geographical location to annihilate the invading Guan ship. Early in the morning, the Guan ship with its wings clipped is a large turtle shell, and it will definitely be difficult to retreat for a long time.
Is this also what it means to be invincible? I understand! Then please make preparations according to this strategy!"
…
When Anzhai Toyasu received orders from Miyoshi Nagakei to send naval troops to encircle the Yodo River, he considered that this was a taboo act. He felt that such an action was definitely wrong, so he sent his younger brother, the unknown Noguchi Fuyunaga, as the commander-in-chief.
The general's original intention was to wipe out the Yodogawa navy and quickly retreat. However, Noguchi Fuyunaga, who was the general general of this battle, did not think so. He wanted to seize the opportunity to improve his family's status and continue to be an ordinary member of the army in embarrassment.
Insulting him.
So Noguchi Fuyunaga hurriedly received the order to send troops, and led the navy fleet to the Kinai area. It was already dark when he arrived, so he spent the night in the Sakai Town River Port. Noguchi Fuyunaga's big movements were natural.
It was clearly seen by those who were interested. Not long after Noguchi Fuyunaga was stationed in the port, Kira Yoshiki received a message from a carrier pigeon.
Everyone says that the Miyoshi and the four brothers are all like dragons and phoenixes. In fact, Miyoshi Nagakei has five brothers in total. This Noguchi Fuyuuchi is the fifth among the Miyoshi brothers. To be more precise, he can be ranked second in age. Only Miyoshi Nagakei is. Qingxia, but his ability is really not good, and his reputation as a civilized and martial artist, as well as his political and benevolent character are inferior to those of his four brothers, so he can only be ranked as a spin-off product besides the four brothers.
Ability is a part that determines destiny, and the other part is his origin. Noguchi Fuyunaga is not a direct descendant, so his status cannot be compared with that of Miyoshi and the four brothers. Miyoshi Yoshihide stayed in the clan, and Tokawa Ichitoshi adopted him. Sanuki's powerful and powerful Toga clan, Azaya Toyasu inherited the Anzai family, the overlord of Awaji, while he only inherited the Awaji wealthy Noguchi family.
Compared with the situation of several of his brothers, it was really a huge difference. What made him even more unbearable was that after he inherited the name of the Noguchi family, he became a retainer of Fuyuyasu Anzai, even though he was born with the same father. His starting position is much higher than others, but this cannot conceal the fact that he is a retainer of Anzhai Fuyoshi. This makes him farther away from Miyoshi Changqing. He cannot be a retainer and can only be an accomplice, which makes him feel resentful. It's inevitable.
