Chapter 9: The Death of Shinohara's Nagabo

Just after Ataka Kiyoyasu gave the order to escape, his own flagship retreated first, followed by large ships such as Ataka ships guarding the surrounding Ataka ships, and other small and medium-sized ships were actually abandoned. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, just as Ataku Kiyoyasu was escaping, suddenly in the direction of Ataku's escape, a fleet of nearly 100 ships appeared in the southeast of Harima Beach. This fleet is relatively the fleet of the Wa Kingdom that the Ataku family is more familiar with, and the Ataku ship, the Guan ship, and Xiaozao are mixed in it, and the scale is huge, at least it is more imposing than the fleet of the Ataku family who escaped in embarrassment now. And the general of this fleet is Takeshi Murakami, who is despised by Kiyoyasu Yasu.

"It's not good, my lord, there is still the Kuroda family's fleet ahead." When Okuno Koshiro saw the Kuroda family's fleet, he immediately anxiously ran to Kiyoyasu Ataka who was standing at the stern of the boat and said loudly.

"The Kuroda family's fleet?" Ataku Kiyoyasu couldn't accept it all of a sudden, and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately he was supported by Okuno Koshiro, otherwise he would have decided to have a big ocean.

After Kiyoyasu Ataka stood firm, he immediately shook off Okuno Koshiro's hand and strode towards the bow of the ship, clearly seeing the fleet of the Kuroda family, with the flags of the Kuroda family and the flag of the Murakami family on it.

"It's really hateful that the Kuroda family only used some ships to meet the main family, and the other part was ambushed in a secret place behind our army! My lord, what should we do now? ”

"In today's situation, my Ataku family has already been defeated, and even if I return to Awaji Country, I will definitely not be able to resist the attack of the Kuroda family. In that case, Koshiro. ”

"Hey!"

"All the big ships escaped north, don't worry about the small boats, let's make a detour to the country of Awa." Nobuyasu Ataka said.

"Lord, this ......" Okuno Koshiro was speechless in surprise.

"Just do what I command, and don't say more." An Zhai Qingkang said impatiently, at this time, if you are slow for a second, you may not be able to break through.

"Hey!"

Although the Kuroda family's ships surrounded and intercepted him, in the end, Ataka Nobuyasu fled to Awa Province with most of the main Ataka ships.

The Kuroda family's fleet was like wolves chasing their prey, forcing the other ships of the Ataka family that had not escaped back into the naval fortress near Sumoto Castle. After that, the Kuroda family's fortune ships lined up and continued to shell the inside of the barrage.

After Ataka Nobuyasu, Suga Dacho, Okuno Koshiro and others escaped, the remaining naval forces of the Ataka family knew that continuing to resist would only be a dead end, so they all surrendered.

Afterwards, after Kuroda Vocational High School learned about the situation at that time, he was in a good mood, thinking about how aggrieved he was when the Japanese bombardment of Weihaiwei after the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle. Now that the Ming fleet is shelling the military port of the Awaji National Naval Army, his subordinates are like this, which can be regarded as revenge for the juniors!

After that, Ataka Nobuyasu and the others quickly fled from Awaji Province and went to Awa Province. Awaji has no leader in the country, and the bigwigs such as Ataka Nobuyasu have run away, and the small wealthy clan and the people have lost the will to resist and surrendered one after another, and the Kuroda family is relatively easy to go to the next country.

After Kuroda Vocational High School came to Sanki Country, Mamoru Ando waited outside Ten Rivers Castle with the people left behind by the Kuroda family early.

After Kuroda Vocational High School merged with the 2,000 troops of Ando Mamoru and the 3,000 men led by Motoyama Shigechen, who stayed behind in the Kuroda family to defend Sanki Province, the number of the Kuroda family's army reached 15,000 people, and this time Kuroda Vocational High School brought over 400 crossbows and 200 iron cannons, so it can be said that Kuroda Vocational High School is bound to win this time.

"Meet the young master." After everyone saw Kuroda Vocational High School, they all bowed respectfully.

"Hurry up, gentlemen, there is no need for this." Kuroda said with a smile.

"Young Master Xie."

"Lord Hinatamoru, you've worked hard this year." Kuroda said to Mamoru Ando, who came to greet him.

"Young master, don't say that, everything is what the Xia and Ando families should do." Mamoru Ando was very humble.

"I heard that the Miyoshi family wanted to counterattack earlier last year, right?" Kuroda asked.

"Young Master, the Miyoshi family did come, but it only came with more than 3,000 people, and it was just a simple ambush to repel them." Mamoru Ando said.

"Only 3,000 people came...... Lord Ando is a veteran soldier, and he deserves to be a famous general in the world! Kuroda said to Mamoru Ando with a smile after thinking for a while.

"The young master praised it falsely."

"Eh, Mamoru Hinata deserves this compliment."

If someone else said it, Mamoru Ando probably didn't care very much, but this praise was said by Kuroda Vocational High School, who is known as the first wise general in the West, and he was still very happy.

His good son-in-law Shigeharu Takenaka has mentioned to him many times that the wisdom of this Kuroda vocational high school makes him ashamed. He knows Shigeharu Takenaka's ability, he is a rare smart person in the world, and even he says that he is ashamed of himself, and Mamoru Ando really doesn't dare to despise it.

And when he came to Kuroda's house a year ago, when he first met Kuroda Vocational High School, Mamoru Ando had a feeling of being seen through by the other party. In addition, in front of him, Shigeharu Takenaka looked very respectful, and Mamoru Ando admired this young man even more.

"By the way, Hyuga-sama, how is the situation in Awa Province now?" Kuroda asked.

"The Miyoshi family was defeated by the lord last time, and there were about 10,000 soldiers who fled together with the Sanki country, and then a small number of people were collected one after another, and then nearly 4,000 people and horses were withdrawn from the area one after another, counting the newly recruited soldiers of the Miyoshi family, the soldiers of the Miyoshi family should be about 20,000." Mamoru Ando said.

"Are there still 20,000 people? This Shinohara-nagabo is really a recruiter! Kuroda said with a smile.

He smiled, and everyone in the Kuroda family behind him immediately laughed together, and the atmosphere immediately became a lot more relaxed.

"The young lord didn't know that at the beginning of the year, Miyoshi Changji took Shinohara Nagafang's widow Gangmoto as a concubine, which humiliated the first lord; long-term control of the rule and military operations in the territory, disrespecting the monarch; The in-laws, the Yasutomi clan, took advantage of the prestige of Shinohara Nagabo for a long time, and openly violated the "New Plus System", encroached on the Ouchi County of the Kankawa family, and seized the Toramaru Castle of the Ten Rivers Deposit as the name of righteousness.

Because Shinohara escaped into slander, this was used as the fuse, Miyoshi Nagaji himself was the general general, Miyoshi Sanren, Shikawa Depository, and Miyoshi Nagakei's fifth brother Noguchi Fuyucho and others, united the men and horses, and led more than 10,000 soldiers and horses from all over Awa to attack Sakura Castle, the residence of Shinohara Nagafang, and Shinohara Nagafang and his eldest son Shinohara Nagashige died in battle together in the city. Mamoru Ando said at this time.
