Noguchi Fuyunaga has been holding back all his energy to prove his ability, so when the death of Toga Ichino happened, he immediately seized the opportunity to actively ask for a fight, and patted his chest to express that he would kill everyone in Yodogawa.
He was also hesitating about this matter at the time. He was well aware of the abilities of this concubine, and the task of annihilating the navy was not a big deal. Mihaoshi Changqing only said that he would send troops immediately, not that Anzhai Dongkang would send troops immediately. He was also very happy.
Take over.
Fuyayasu Anzai has been responsible for commanding the Awaji Navy to control the sea control of Osaka Bay and eastern Setouchi. It is his top priority to prevent the Mishima Navy in the direction of Iyo from causing trouble and to suppress Kii's Navy.
Japan also has to control maritime taxation. It is really busy dealing with various forces, and it is indeed inseparable from Awaji Oshima. Furthermore, it is not difficult to clean up the Yodogawa people and other inland water armies. As long as you are careful, you should be able to complete it smoothly.
.
So Toyasu Anzai called Fuyushiro Noguchi and earnestly persuaded him to be cautious and to withdraw in time as soon as the rebellious Yodogawa naval forces were wiped out. The Anzai ships were specially requested by Noguchi Fuyushiro. He meant that these Anzai ships had always been
It would be a waste to park in the Awaji harbor without going out. Taking five Anzha ships out can also show off the military power of the Miyoshi family.
Naturally, Anzai Toyasu had no reason to refuse this kind of suggestion. All the demands he made were met, so there was this armed parade of five Anzai ships. When the Awaji Navy set off, the Kira Navy also
Waiting anxiously.
The originally discussed strategy was to ambush the Kira Navy in the Uji River and wait for the Awaji Navy to penetrate deeply before launching an attack from the rear. In this way, they could be captured in one fell swoop. After formulating the tactics, the question arose: who would be the bait?
?Those who serve as baits are afraid that their chances of survival are slim.
All the ministers were hesitating. Not many people dared to bear the bait even though they knew that the bait was likely to lead to tragedy. At this moment, the most unexpected person stepped forward and expressed his willingness to take over this important task. He was Yodogawa Sanemon, the leader of the Yodogawa clan.
No matter how incomprehensible his companions were, he still stood up.
After the military meeting, Yodogawa Sanemon expressed his wish when he found Kiragi: "I am willing to serve as a bait. If this battle is successful! Please accept Inuko as a retainer."
"Well, don't you want your son to continue to be a navy leader? I understand!"
The beacon fires and carrier pigeons that carried messages had been arranged early the next morning. The use of cow dung beacons could transmit battle information in a short time. This was also the main source of intelligence for Kira Yoshitoki's battle. The carrier pigeons may not have time to send out the letter.
, only beacon fire is the key to victory or defeat.
Noguchi Fuyunaga didn't know anything about this. He was a man unwilling to be lonely. He was also a man of mediocre abilities and average intelligence. When the Miyoshi family was accumulating talents, he failed to stand up and help his brothers, so in terms of merit and deeds,
After being rewarded, he was kicked back to Awaji Island to be his companion. He only felt that Miyoshi Changqing was heartless and unrighteous, but he did not feel that he was too inferior to be reused. There are always people in the world who cannot recognize themselves.
.
At about ten o'clock in the morning on August 10th, a huge fleet of boats lined up to occupy the mouth of the Yodo River. Fifty yards away in front of them was a mixed boat composed of dozens of boats of various types.
The fleet has a flag with the word "Yodogawa" hanging on it, as if to tell the world that they are the Yodogawa people.
"Hahaha! Did you see it? That's the Yodogawa people! A group of rabble-rousers actually controlled the Yodogawa River? It's incredible! Today, I, Noguchi Fuyunaga, will show you what a real navy army is! Chase!" Noguchi!
Dong Chang sat on the Anzhai boat in the middle, and with a graceful wave of military equipment, he launched a pursuit order.
A retainer asked cautiously: "But ahead is the Katsura River tributary! Is there really no problem with the Anzhai boat entering it?"
Noguchi Fuyunaga was very dissatisfied and yelled at his retainers: "Do as I told you! I forgot that I, Noguchi Fuyunaga, am the general!"
"Yes!" Several retainers backed away in tacit agreement, and after turning around, they all showed disdain, "What an idiot!"
"Yes! It's far worse than His Highness Dongkang!"
An old man patted the two of them on the shoulders and whispered: "Okay! I'm just a retainer, so it's better to say less! He will give the military orders, and we just have to do our job well.
That’s good!”
The fleet of the Yodogawa people seemed to be deliberately trying to lure the Awaji navy into pursuit. Whenever the distance between the two became farther, they would slow down and wait. This fishing-style tactic succeeded in angering Noguchi Fuyunaga, and he immediately ordered that they must catch up no matter what.
The Yodogawa people, after chasing and escaping, soon reached the mouth of the Katsura River, and beyond that was the Kamogawa tributary that flows through Kyoto. The river is narrow and shallow, and it is not suitable for large ships to travel.
The Awaji navy soldiers raised questions again, but they were all rejected by the confident Noguchi Fuyu. His reason was simple: "Sailing the Anzha ship outside Kyoto can scare the ministers of the court. Compared with this, it is a little risky."
What’s the risk?”
The Awaji naval forces all looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Following the stupid and bold general, they could only go all the way to the dark side. Noguchi Fuyunaga's confidence did not last long. The Anzai ship was different from the light Kanfune. It did not take long to enter the Kamogawa River and fell into a dilemma.
, the narrow river channel makes it difficult to move, so Guanzhou and Xiaozao can only pursue it first. In this way, Anzhaifan has completely become a hindrance.
But once Kanfune is allowed to continue pursuing, the fleet formation will be out of line, and the Awaji sailors have raised doubts again. This time, Noguchi Fuyunaga did not dare to make a random decision. The advantage of the Anzha ship is that the ship has a large draft, which makes
He was invincible in offshore operations, but this advantage turned into a disadvantage in shallow water tributaries. The hull was too large and the steering was not efficient. It was easy for the five Anzha ships to enter and retreat. Now there was still some distance from Kyoto. Is it better to continue moving forward or turn around and return?
Waiting in the wide Katsura River became a problem.
When the Awaji Marines were in a dilemma, Noguchi Fuyunaga truly lived up to everyone's expectations and once again made a rash and arbitrary decision: "Keep moving forward!"
Ever since the fleet flying the flags of the Yodogawa River was discovered on the main stream of the Yodogawa River, the Awaji navy has been chasing and fighting, and soon entered the depths of the Kamogawa River. Noguchi Fuyunaga probably did not read the battle report carefully, and did not know the location of the Kamogawa River at all.
The deep grass valley on the east bank is exactly the place where his fierce general brother can survive.
Noguchi Nagamune, a fellow clan member and deputy general, raised a new objection: "The river is getting narrower and narrower. It is really not suitable to continue moving forward. We should turn back now!"
"Hey! Chomune, don't say such depressing words! We are about to arrive in Kyoto. Wouldn't it be a waste of opportunity to go back now? If we had to retreat, we would have retreated a long time ago, and now we can't retreat at all!" Noguchi Fuyunaga no longer cares about the objections.
, the orders have been issued, wouldn’t it be self-defeating to contradict him now? Will Noguchi Fuyuuchi want to join the Awaji Navy in the future?
So he not only ordered to continue the pursuit, but also refused the suggestion that the Anzha ship should stop in place and wait. The farther he pursued, the narrower the river became, and exposed mudflats gradually appeared. The Awaji Navy's boating skills were very high, even if it was such a difficult task,
The situation could still keep moving forward, but their good luck was quickly used up. They fell into a quagmire a short distance away from Kyoto City. One ship got stuck and other ships could only squeeze through the side before they could pass, and then they fell into
Stranded on the river bank.
The Awaji sailors reported helplessly that the two ships were stranded. For a while, they thought that they could not get him out. Noguchi Fuyunaga could no longer remain calm and quickly got out of the safe and stuffy cabin and stood on the top of the ship.
He jumped on the deck and yelled: "You bastard! How could you get stuck in this! Hurry up and find a way to get the ship out!"
"Yes!" The Awaji sailors were also full of resentment. They paddled hard under the sun on a hot day. Some people jumped off the boat and swam to the river bank to try to push the boat. The proud men who were supposed to fight on the sea could only
Huddled in this small river and pushing the boat with brute force, the encounters in life are truly wonderful.
