Chapter 437

The townspeople of Kyoto erected a tomb in Ukyo for those who died in the war, such as Odate Takanobu, and placed tributes such as flowers, fruits, cakes, etc. to pray for the deceased. From then on, June 28th became the day for commemoration.

On the day of the public memorial for the shogunate samurai who died guarding Kyoto, Miyoshi Nagakei heard the news and lamented that the changes in the world had led him to become a buffoon in opposition to the shogunate.

In fact, Miyoshi Nagakei himself respected these samurai who died in battle. Soldiers who died for loyalty in any era are worthy of respect. It is precisely because of Miyoshi Nagakei's lack of faith that he could never do what he did for the shogunate by throwing his life and blood.

Such a heroic act, we can only silently pray for the deceased, hoping that these people can escape from the sea of ​​hell and be reborn in the paradise world.

Accompanying the Miyoshi family to return the regret was a messenger from the Miyoshi family, Miyoshi Choitsu, who sent a handwritten letter signed by Miyoshi Chokei. In the letter, Miyoshi Chokei advised the shogunate officials and the shogunate not to engage in unnecessary resistance.

, that would only increase casualties and destroy the thousand-year prosperity of Kyoto. As a minister of the shogunate, he should contribute to the foundation of the shogunate. I hope the shogunate can understand his good intentions.

When Ashikaga Yoshiteru saw this autographed letter, he really wanted to strangle this arrogant Miyoshi Nagakei with his own hands. He dared to say such shameless words in front of him, the shogunate. In comparison, Kira Yoshiki's

It's really no big deal to have some problems. He can be called a loyal minister, a good general, a good teacher and a helpful friend.

As the shogunate, how could he accept such shameless words? He turned his back on the spot and threw the letter to the ground. He pointed at Miyoshi Choitsu and yelled: "What a good intention, what a sincerity! I have never heard of anyone doing this."

I have never seen a loyal minister of the shogunate who sent 20,000 troops to attack and besiege Yu's branch city, kill Yu's loyal ministers, and massacre 2,000 troops in a city. Such treasonous actions are indeed well-intentioned and sincere!

Humph! Let's go back and tell the repair doctor Miyoshi that the general of the Muromachi Shogunate, I, has vowed to live and die with Kyoto. His army just rushes in to see whether the repair doctor Miyoshi's sword is sharper or that Yu's loyal ministers and warriors are more powerful!

"

Miyoshi Choitsu was so embarrassed by Ashikaga Yoshiteru's stern scolding that he had no choice but to hide his face and run away. He ran to the shogunate to deliver such a shameless letter. It's no wonder that Ashikaga Yoshiteru went crazy. Although the shogunate has gone through several ups and downs since the Meitu coup,

There are bizarre stories in which shoguns were deposed, rose up, and were deposed again, and two shoguns were established at the same time, but in fact, it was the Hosokawa clan, the head of the Ashikaga shogun family, who controlled all of this.

Half-general Hosokawa Masamoto launched the Ming Dynasty coup to abolish Ashikaga Yoshitai and ushered in Ashikaga Yosumi as the new shogun. Hosokawa Takakuni gave Ouchi Yoshihiro the post of governor and jointly launched the Battle of Funokayama with Joe Luo to welcome the new general.

In the end, Hosokawa Harumoto supported Ashikaga Yoshiki as the general, and Rokkaku Sadayori supported Ashikaga Yoshiharu as the general. Finally, Hosokawa Harumoto chose to make peace with Ashikaga Yoshiharu and abandoned Ashikaga Yoshiki.

This puppet.

This series of events represents the trend of Kinai's political situation in the past seventy years. From the beginning to the end, it has been a game dominated by the Hosokawa family. Hosokawa Masamoto deposed the general and defeated the Hatakeyama Prime Minister. Hosokawa Takakuni won the support of Ouchi Yoshihei.

Supporting the re-dominance of Kinai and Hosokawa Harumoto's restoration of Kyoto were all led by the Hosokawa family. The only outsider, Ouchi Yoshihiro, soon died on his way back to the Western Kingdom to pacify Nizi.

But this time it is completely different. The Hosokawa Kyōcho family, which has dominated the capital for more than two hundred years, has completely declined, and the one who has risen is Miyoshi Nagakei, the former head of the family who was in charge of Hosokawa Harumoto. The way he rises is to use the popular method.

The subordinates defeated the superiors, defeated the master and imprisoned him in the Bomon Temple in Settsu Province. This method cannot be said to be very bad. At most, some defenders who insisted on the laws of the shogunate criticized him a few times.

But then the Miyoshi family's appetite grew bigger and bigger, and they actually wanted to imitate the half-general Hosokawa Masamoto. On the one hand, he controlled the new puppet leader Hosokawa Uzuna, and on the other hand, he controlled another puppet shogun, Ashikaga Yoshiteru. From the first time ten years ago,

Starting from Shangluo, Qingche Jian went through the Battle of Fukakusa and the Battle of Katsuragi River and suffered two heavy losses, but still persisted in his evil intentions.

It has only been seven years now, and he once again led an army of 60,000 to Kyoto to forcefully threaten the shogunate. Miyoshi Chokei's life label has already been labeled as a traitor, a traitor, etc., if it were not for the 60,000 army

The powerful force that had the potential to dominate the Seto Inland Sea and control half of Kinki had long been destroyed by the rising Japanese army.

Despite Ashikaga Yoshiki's righteous scolding, Miyoshi Nagaitsu was driven away. In fact, the shogunate lost half of its support and was now very weak. Six thousand of the proud elites rushed in, and only more than four thousand did not have time to cross the river.

The defeated remnants of the army returned to Kyoto to defend the city. Counting the 1,000 troops remaining at Nijo Imperial Palace, as well as the previous troops at Funaokayama Castle, Koizumi Castle, and Kichijoin Castle, the total force that could be mobilized was only 6,000.

Nearly half of these 6,000 people were members of the Yamashiro Nation. Many of their companions, relatives and friends died in the Katsuragi Raid and the Shengryuji Castle. The huge blow almost completely destroyed their morale. A century of chaos has made the Yamashiro Nation believers one by one.

Missing, they have long understood what loyalty is, and they can be sure that many of their killed companions definitely did not die out of their true intentions.

The people of the Yamashiro Kingdom were shaken. They could not tie their interests to the shogunate. A natural-born wallop could not turn into a loyal warrior overnight. Almost overnight, the people of the Yamashiro Country who had cursed and sworn to be loyal to the shogunate, became

They began to take the initiative to open up relations with the shogunate, using excuses to shirk the responsibility of guarding Kyoto, abandoning the weapons and equipment given to them by the shogunate, and fled back to their hometown.

It's not that their quality is too high and they returned it voluntarily, it's that the current situation is too dark and unclear. These losers really don't dare to take advantage of this small advantage, for fear that the Kira Army will launch another massive counterattack to rescue the shogunate. By then, these losers will be gone.

He would be arrested by the shogunate because of his despicable theft. The people of Yamashiro country were no match for the Kira army, not to mention that they lacked the right to speak in a semi-disabled state.

On the first day of July, Ashikaga Yoshiki woke up and found that his military strength had been reduced by half. More than 2,600 carefully trained samurai Ashikaru abandoned their responsibilities as shogunate soldiers and ran home. Some left letters and left with their titles, and some

He simply ran away without saying a word without leaving anything behind. When he found out the truth, Ashikaga Yoshiki was very angry.

The military strength of the Ashikaga Shogun family dropped instantly from the "more than 10,000 cavalry" in its heyday to a low of only more than 3,500 troops. Although this military strength is still much stronger than that of the year when there were only more than 100 soldiers.

Ten times. But who is willing to try again in the hard days of the past, and no one wants to endure the hard life of a big gap after living a good life.

At present, there are only more than 3,500 shogunate troops left in Kyoto as a garrison. In addition, there are many similar half-public, half-military samurai Shokan, such as those in Sheguan, Tsinghua, and the ministers. However, these people in Kyoto are more

There are only a few hundred people in total. It might be okay to guard the home and protect the home to scare the young and covet the property. Letting them go into battle to deal with the tyrannical Sanhao Army is simply to die. Their level is only enough to defeat the ronin. After all, the elite of the battle array

There is no way to stand up to the military situation.

However, the 3,500-strong army of the shogunate was also shaken by the silent departure of their colleagues. Most of them were ronin samurai from all over the world, and a few were bastards of the samurai family from all over the world. They came to the shogunate to seek merit, receive benefits, and enjoy Kyoto.

Peace and prosperity is the first goal, but there is absolutely no such thing as dying as cannon fodder. They don't believe they have the ability to imitate Kiragi because they are so bad.

The ambitious ronin all went to Omi Sakamoto to join the army, and the ronin who wanted to be comfortable went to Kyoto to join the shogunate. I thought that without the protection of Kira Yoshi, Sakamoto, a city that was rising rapidly, would be plundered by war sooner or later, and in the end it would be like many comets.

It drew a trace in the sky and then disappeared. As a result, Sakamoto was not affected by any war, and Kyoto was faced with a huge crisis.

War is a life-and-death game between warriors, and the coward is destined to be eliminated from the beginning. The 3,500 troops involved in the shogunate wavered several times in the next half month and faced the crisis of being scattered at any time. Ashikaga Yoshiteru

They tried their best to suppress Xu with all kinds of benefits and used several names and threats to no avail. In the end, Nakajo Tokihide's 10,000 troops were invited to garrison Kyoto to suppress all these troublemakers.

Facts have proved that in the peaceful age, elites cannot be trained for hundreds of battles. Among the 10,000 troops under Nakajo Tokihide, 2,500 were strong troops who had experienced the battle of Mizuo Castle. These bloody warriors walked in Kyoto

On the street, these soldiers who are accustomed to the prosperous life in Kyoto are in awe. They glance at the passers-by inadvertently, just like the cold and ruthless eyes of a lion locking its target before pounce on its prey.

The arrival of this group of fierce samurai has brought advantages and disadvantages to Kyoto. The advantage is that the security of Kyoto suddenly changed to the level of Sakamoto Town. The scoundrels and scoundrels wandering the streets were instantly eliminated, including those rogues.

The behavior of ronin who drank and ate on credit suddenly disappeared, and the whole city became very peaceful and peaceful.

The disadvantage is that as soon as the sun sets, Kyoto is heavily guarded. Under the curfew signed by Ashikaga Yoshiteru, the night entertainment in Kyoto almost comes to a standstill. Ministers, wealthy businessmen and cultural people are forced to stop their daily essential banquets and can only hide.

They went wild with their concubines in their arms at their respective homes. Of course, there were also bold people who went to their friends' houses to stay overnight before sunset. It is not clear what activities these people did at night.

There was nothing we could do about letting only Nakajo Tokihide enter the capital alone. Ashikaga Yoshiteru originally issued an order for Nakajo Tokihide and Rokkaku Yoshihide to enter the capital together to guard Kyoto. Unfortunately, Nakajo Tokihide disagreed with this decision. Mibuchi Fuji

Ying's advice and advice all failed to make sense, and later even Rokkaku Yoshihide suddenly changed his mind and disagreed with the hasty entry to Beijing, which left the shogunate scratching their heads.

The reason for their refusal is also very simple. Thirty thousand troops entered Luozhong to guard the shogunate. There were no troops stationed on the north and south sides of the Uji River. If Miyoshi Nagakei ordered the 40,000 troops to take the opportunity to attack Omi, whether it was to seize the Kira family's Sakamoto Town or Otsu Town

, Kenta Town, or the Rokkaku family's Kannonji Castle, both will have fatal consequences for both families. There is no point in guarding Kyoto after the old nest is returned.

In the end, the two generals reached a compromise agreement with the shogunate. Nakajo Tokihide entered Luo to guard Kyoto, and Rokkaku Yoshihide came to the camp of the Kira family in Fushimiyama to take over the important task of guarding the east of Kyoto. In this way, there was still a rivalry between them.

Rushing for reinforcements, and supplemented by the Kira navy's control over the Yodogawa basin, there was no need to worry about the danger that Omi would be captured by the Miyoshi family in a short period of time.

In mid-July, the stable situation in Gyeonggi Province became unstable again. Miyoshi Nagakei seemed to be waiting for the answer he wanted, and roughly judged the strength of the shogunate's support for the army, so he quickly mobilized the army to kill in Kyoto. His move greatly surprised everyone

It was expected, because this time the Miyoshi Army's march route was not the traditional crossing of Katsura River but switched to Tamba.

When the 40,000-strong army led by Miyoshi Yoshihide, Matsunaga Hide, and Naito Munekatsu entered Yamashiro Kingdom from Tamba, the samurai and many defenders in Kyoto were all dumbfounded. The much-anticipated Kira navy suddenly lost its support.

Naito Munekatsu led an army of 10,000 troops and marched directly to Funaokayama Castle in the north of Kyoto. Matsunaga Hide led an army of 10,000 troops and marched straight to Koizumi Castle outside Kyoto, while Miyoshi Yoshihide's troops headed straight to Kyoto to kill.

Miyoshi Chokei's force of nearly 20,000 troops actually sat motionless at Shoryuji Castle. At this time, Nakajo Tokisuke fully understood the Miyoshi family's strategy. The general controlled the vast strategic depth south of Katsura River, and at the same time guarded Settsu Province behind him.

The situation was stable, allowing his younger brother and his family members to lead an army to attack Kyoto. With his nearly 20,000 troops, he could also serve as a special force, and suddenly came out as a new force at the most tense moment of the Kyoto attack, so as to have the final say.

As a result, this is the strategy he used to kill three birds with one stone.

Nakajo Tokihide could see it, and so could Rokkaku Yoshihide, so he made the immediate decision to leave 5,000 troops to guard the camp. He personally led 15,000 troops across the Kamogawa River and into Toba and Miyoshi Yoshihide's army.

A fierce battle began. After Nakajo Tokihide determined the Miyoshi family's strategy, he immediately issued an order to close all seven of Kyoto's towns and put them under martial law. At the same time, troops were divided to support Rokkaku Yoshihide who was fighting outside Kyoto.

Suganuma Sadadao directly replaced Koizumi Castle. The thousand troops he led had to face Matsunaga's ten thousand troops. Suganuma Sadadao's military strategy can only be described as ordinary. Let him fight one thousand against ten thousand.

It was an extremely difficult move, and the Koizumi Castle was in disrepair and could not be compared with Shoryuji Castle. It was even worse than Funaokayama Castle. The pressure that fell on his shoulders was huge.

Funaokayama Castle Joyoro was also replaced by Isshiki Naotaka, who was more adept at fighting. He faced Naito Munekatsu who was also good at fighting. Although his military strategy was much higher than that of Suganuma Sadao, the opposite Naito Munekatsu

He is also more powerful than Matsunagahide. Moreover, this person has a feud with the Kira family, and his attack power is much higher than that of his wily brother Matsunagahide.

The situation faced by both of them was very critical. But the battle that broke out in Tobahara in the south of Kyoto was even more exciting. Miyoshi Yoshihide led an army of 20,000 troops to raid Tobaguchi, which is one of the seven entrances to Kyoto and an important entrance to Kyoto from the Katsura River direction.

Miyoshi Yoshihide was determined to win the pass, but Rokkaku Yoshihide and Nakajo Tokihide were unwilling to give up. The two sides started a long-lasting war here.

Miyoshi Yoshihide's 20,000 troops faced off against Rokkaku Yoshihide's 15,000 troops and the 5,000 reinforcements led by Okouchi Kunizuna. The two sides were equal in terms of military strength, but Miyoshi Yoshihide's military strategy was obviously stronger than the latter.

The two were much stronger, and due to the discord between the Kira Army and the Hexagon Army, there were inevitably major problems in coordination. Miyoshi Yoshihide took the opportunity to cut the gap between the two armies and almost divided and surrounded the two armies.

Fortunately, Okawauchi Kunizuna launched an attack on the breakthrough cutting point and successfully defeated the plans of the Miyoshi Army. The military forces of both sides were entangled repeatedly outside the Niaoyuguo. As the sun set, they finally stopped and returned to camp. General Miyoshi Yoshihide

The camp was set up at Kosenji Temple not far outside Tobaguchi in a long-term battle posture, Rokkaku Yoshihide camped outside Tobaguchi, and Okouchi Kunizuna returned to Tobaguchi and stationed himself with the Kira army's guards.

Only half a mile away is Matsunagahide who is camped outside Tanbaguchi. His main attack direction is Koizumi Castle outside Tanbaguchi. Naito Munekatsu has successfully broken through Nagasakaguchi, one of the seven entrances of Kyoto, and is stationed at the foot of Funaoka Mountain, posing a direct threat.

When Kyoto was safe, Nakajo Tokihide did not dare to let this man invade the heart of Kyoto, so he could only leave 3,500 shogunate defenders at Nijo Imperial Palace to wait, and he led 3,000 troops to stay at Nijo Imperial Palace to suppress the shogunate defenders.

We must always keep an eye on the changes in the north and the south to guard against crises.

The war lasted from the beginning of July to the end of July with no end in sight. The Miyoshi Army showed a huge advantage in military strength and gradually compressed the activity space of Kira Army and Hexagon Army step by step. At the end of July, they broke through Koizumi Castle and captured Kira.

The garrison general Suganuma Sadao captured the city, but none of the thousand defenders in the city were spared. This was the first tragic defeat for Kira's army.

This fierce cage battle lasted nearly a month. Matsunaga Hide worked very hard to capture the city. He cut off water and food, deceived, deployed, harassed and stormed the city. In the end, he relied on the large number of people to kill the small defenders of Koizumi Castle.

In order to capture this city, Matsu Nagahide sacrificed more than 3,600 lives.

After the capture of Koizumi Castle, the Miyoshi Army happily thought that they could make a big profit. However, they searched the city and found not even a grain of food. Several small castle towers where military supplies were stored were clean enough to run away mice. The castle tower was burned down.

There was absolutely no property such as gold, silver, or jewelry. The weapons and armor were in tatters and not a single piece was complete. The frustrated Sanhao army could only vent their anger on the thousands of residents outside the city. In this way, these unlucky residents returned for no reason.

Suffering from the war and fire, he had no choice but to drag his family and his family to escape into Kyoto city overnight.

The destruction of Koizumi Castle became a major event that changed the situation on the battlefield. In the next half month, the situation suddenly took a turn for the worse. Funaokayama Castle, which Isshiki had been guarding for a long time, was breached because the food and grass in the city were exhausted. Nakajo Tokihide, the reinforcements outside the city, desperately tried his best to

After covering him, he finally escaped from Naito Munekatsu's trap, but there were only a thousand defenders left.

Koizumi Castle was defeated, and Funaokayama Castle was also captured, which had a great impact on the morale of the Hexagon Army. This impact was quickly fed back to the Tobaguchi Battle at the end of August. Miyoshi Yoshihide's army advanced with great success.

Entering Rokkaku Yoshihide's main formation, he almost took the life of the general, but in the end, Nakajo Tokihide's force of 3,000 troops made a powerful surprise attack and drove back Miyoshi Yoshihide's army.

But this rescue exposed the inner loopholes of Kyoto. Matsunaga Hide lawlessly broke through Tanbaguchi and entered Kyoto city. Nakajo Tokihide led the Okouchi Kokuduna Division to fight back to Kyoto, and fought a bloody battle with Matsunaga Hide outside Nijo Imperial Palace and Ukyo Street.

, the fierce battle lasted most of the night until it became dark, and finally ended with Nakajo Tokihide's victory.

This fierce battle was extremely fierce. The 8,000 tired divisions of Kira's army faced off against the more than 6,000 Matsunaga's troops who were also incomplete and had low morale. One of the two sides lacked physical strength and the other lacked morale. The melee on the streets of Kyoto became particularly difficult until Matsunaga showed up with

The capture of Nakamura Shinbei, the No. 1 general known as "Gun Nakamura", by Nakajo Tokihide was an important turning point in the war.

The Matsunaga Army's belief was wiped out when Nakamura Takatsuki was killed and they fled all the way to Tanbaguchi. Matsunaga Hide was trapped by the defeated soldiers and fled in embarrassment, while the Kira Army mustered up the fighting spirit to pursue them all the way, and even dared not chase the Matsunaga Army.

Enter Koizumi Castle. Escape all the way to the Miyoshi Yoshiken Camp at Tobaguchi.

In this battle, Nakajo Tokihide captured more than 2,300 heads, but he only lost more than 600 people. The fundamental reason for the huge difference is that the Matsunaga army was defeated and fled, and Nakajo Tokihide was chased and killed along the way to gain access to the enemy.

Of the more than 1,600 heads, only the more than 600 people were actually killed in the stalemate. The Matsunaga army killed only more than 700 heads in this battle, and the rest were harvested from chasing down the defeated army.

Matsunaga Hide's 10,000 troops were completely crippled. The remaining 4,000 defeated troops were not enough to serve as a general, so they could only be merged into Miyoshi Yoshihide's army, allowing Miyoshi Yoshihide's army to be reassembled.

With an army of 20,000, Rokkaku Yoshihide saw that the situation was not going well and immediately transferred the 5,000 troops from Fushimiyama to make up a force of 15,000 to continue the stalemate with Miyoshi Yoshihide.

Until the last day of August, more than 8,600 troops under Naito Munekatsu's command were ordered to set off from Funaoka Mountain as the "preemptive formation" of Kamilakus. On the other side, Miyoshi Yoshihide's 20,000 troops were ordered to launch an attack on Rokkaku Yoshihide.

Naito Munekatsu's 8,000 tiger warriors encountered the shogunate defenders led by Nakajo Tokihide and the remaining troops of the headquarters in Asukai, Ukyo. A fierce battle inevitably broke out.

Nakajo Tokihide's military strategy is not much different from that of Naito Munekatsu, and his military prowess is even better. However, the troops under him are all exhausted, and the shogunate defenders are all useless. Isshiki Naotaka is

The right wing army suffered heavy losses due to Naito Munekatsu taking care of it. If it hadn't been for the help of his fellow senior, Shioka Kazuha, to stabilize the situation, Nakajo Tokihide would have suffered another defeat.

Even so, the two sides fought fiercely for three days in Youjing. The battle was inextricable. The entire Youjing was in a mess. The flames of war burned and destroyed countless rebuilt courtyards. Dozens of Buddhist temples in Youjing were burned to the ground. The ministers and monks living in Youjing fled in an emergency.

Taking refuge in Mount Hiei, even the emperor prayed for peace in the world.

A battle also broke out at Tobaguchi south of Kyoto. Rokkaku Yoshihide, who lost the support of Okawachi Kunizuna, was unable to withstand the joint attack of Miyoshi Yoshihide and Matsunagahide, and was killed in a great defeat at Tobaguchi.

There were more than 3,000 people, and many family members who were descendants of the family died in the battle. Rokkaku Yoshihide was forced to lead the remaining troops back to the camp and could not get out.

The Ukyo Fire that had been raging for many days was extinguished by a heavy rain. Also extinguished was the will to continue fighting. The inextricable two months of the war had already made the samurai on both sides numb to their desire for merit. Repeated day after day.

The attacking companions suffered heavy casualties, and the surviving samurai saw no hope.

There were only about 5,000 remnants of Nakajo Tokihide's troops left, and they retreated to the Nijo Imperial Palace. The 3,500 defenders of the shogunate were killed by more than 1,000 people, and they withdrew from the battle of Asukai early.

Fleeing back to lick his wounds, Naito Munekatsu's life was also very difficult in comparison. Only less than 6,000 people from the 8,600-strong army returned to Funaokayama Castle, mainly 2,500 people led by Nakajo Tokihide.

The elite who had experienced the Vietnam-China War broke through the Third Formation and collected nearly a thousand heads in one day and were injured.

There were not many cards left in the hands of both sides. A total of more than 7,500 people from Nakajo Tokihide's command and the shogunate army defended the Nijo Imperial Palace, while 12,000 men from Rokkaku Yoshihide's command were blocked in the Tobaguchi camp.

Look, Miyoshi Yoshihide's 18,000-strong army had an absolute advantage on the battlefield and he was unable to do anything to suppress him. With Rokkaku Yoshihide's military level, he was fought to the point where he was basically at the end of his rope.

Nakajo Tokihide and Rokkaku Yoshihide fought so fiercely, but they were actually worried that Miyoshi Chokei would take the opportunity to cross the river to change the direction of the war. They tried to frighten the Miyoshi family into crossing the river by fighting for 10%, but they had no choice but to find that the generals of both sides

There seems to be a huge difference in command level, and there is not much difference in the quality of soldiers and equipment. The only difference is that the gap in troop strength is really huge.

Not to mention the difference in military strength was more than doubled, but there were still 20,000 troops sitting on the other side of the river, watching eagerly. The pressured Nakajo Tokihide and Rokkaku Yoshihide became more and more impatient. They were eager to repel the invasion and attack of the Miyoshi Army as soon as possible but ignored their own absolute disadvantages.

, the last decent castle in Kyoto except Nijo Imperial Palace, Kyoto Shichikou, Funaokayama Castle, and Koizumi Castle cannot be relied upon, and the most important point is that the Miyoshi Army on the offensive side can retreat and evade, but Kira on the defensive side can't rely on it.

Army, the Hexagon Army has no way to retreat.

As soon as they retreat, they must abandon the Nijo Imperial Palace, but the strong-willed Lord Ashikaga Yoshiteru has already sworn a vow at Ishikimizu Hachimangu Shrine that he will never repeat the tragedy of his father and ancestors, and will never allow any powerful samurai family to drive away the general who conquered the barbarians.

After leaving Kyoto, he will never leave Nijo Imperial Palace. Even if he dies, he will live and die with Kyoto.

Miyoshi Nagakei watched the battle in Kyoto coldly. It was not until Kyoto entered the final stage after two months of fierce fighting that he decided to cross the Katsura River and raid Kyoto for the final blow. He then used hundreds of warships of the Awaji Navy to blockade the Yodo River and prevent

Any ships entering from the Uji River are especially prohibited from the Kira Navy, and any ships that can already be used for military purposes are prohibited from appearing. This time Anzai Fuyayasu learned very smartly and ordered the Awaji Navy not to pursue the Kira Navy, even if they were attacked by surprise.

You cannot pursue to avoid luring the enemy deep enough to get hit again.

The Awaji Navy's turtle tactic targeted the main stream of the Yodogawa River and blocked it, leaving the Kira Navy helpless. The quantity and quality of their ships could not be compared with the Awaji Navy's domination of the Seto Inland Sea. Apart from sneak attacks and harassment, there was really no way to pass the Yodogawa River.

The intersection heading towards Katsuragi River blocks Miyoshi Chokei.

Miyoshi Nagakei stood on the north bank of the Katsura River and looked at Kyoto with a faint smell of blood floating in the distance. Behind him was the landing of 20,000 tiger and wolf troops with high morale. The ships rushing back and forth on the Katsura River all waved the flag of the third-order Ryogogoku. Miyoshi

Changqing said with great ambition: "No one can stop me from going to Luo anymore!"
