Chapter 826: Switching Offense and Defense (16)
Sado Island, Hamo Castle. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Jia Long, are you sure there is no problem?" Keiji Maeda looked at the multiple ships in front of him, and did not hide his suspicions in his heart. After all, this time Maeda Keiji planned to lead an army of 10,000 to attack Echigo, including 1,200 cavalry who had been training for nearly three years, and he didn't want anything to go wrong in this situation.
And what worries him so much is the navy in front of him, because Oda Yoshinobu sent all the main forces to the battlefields of Kyushu and Shikoku, and naturally there are not many people left on Sado's side. In fact, at this time, even many of Agot's merchant ships had been requisitioned by Oda Yoshinobu. There is only Sado, and there are 3 karak sailboats. The rest of the ships were rushed out during this time by Nine Ghost Jialong.
"Don't worry, Maeda-sama, I've already explored this sea area, and there won't be any mistakes!" Nine Ghost Jialong played a guaranteed ticket. When he spoke, his eyes exuded an eager light. Although he was in Sado, the Nine Ghosts Yoshitaka still learned about the Takeda family's surrender, which made the Nine Demons Yoshitaka shocked and proud, as well as the blood that longed for military exploits.
Now, it was his chance to show his skills, and although he was only transporting troops from Sado to Echigo, the Uesugi family's defense of the coastline at this time became extremely tight after returning from Naoe Keitsuna. If you want to pass smoothly, it is absolutely impossible without a veteran like Nine Ghosts Jialong.
Hearing this, Keiji Maeda nodded, and then turned to look at Naomasa Hori and Hidemasa Hori, "There won't be any problems with the target location, right?" ”
"Don't worry, the two of us have been exploring for a long time, and there must be no problems." Hori Hidemasa responded.
Nodding, Keiji Maeda then turned to look at Fernande, "Lord Fernande, do you have any ideas?" ”
"No, according to the following opinion, everything we can do has already been done, and the rest, we just need to improvise." Fernande chuckled, "After all, the lord also said that our purpose is just to harass the Uesugi family so that the other party can't fight on the front line with peace of mind." ”
"I naturally know this, don't worry, I won't mess around." Keiji Maeda nodded in response, knowing that Fernande was reminding himself. In fact, Keiji Maeda also had the idea of directly attacking Kasuga Yamajo. Well, it's just an idea, Keiji Maeda's personality is indeed a bit prodigal, but he's not a fool.
"Then ......" Keiji Maeda glanced around at everyone, and what he saw was the fiery eyes of everyone. Hehe, it seems that it's not just me looking forward to this battle~" Keiji Maeda thought secretly, and then shouted at everyone, "All board!" Let's go! ”
"Oh!"
Kyushu, Bungo Province, Tsugamu Castle.
"Weihai, you've already taken care of your affairs?" Oda Shinna looked at Saeki Yuumi and asked.
"Yes, it's okay anymore, thank you Oda for your concern." Saeki said respectfully.
After some politeness, Oda Shinna began to inquire about the situation in Kyushu. This time, Oda Shinna led a total of 20,000 people from Shigeharu Takenaka to land in Kyushu. Speaking of which, the head relatives of Chozong and my department originally wanted to come together, but they were rejected by Oda Shinna.
"Lord Chozong, I hope you can help the family garrison Shikoku, although the Maori naval army has been defeated, there are still many remnants of the Maori family in Shikoku." Oda Shinna said to the head of the Chozong department.
And in this regard, although the relatives of Changzong and my department are unwilling, they don't have much to do. You can't let him refuse Oda Shinna's orders, right? If that's the case, the head of the Changzong tribe thinks that there may be only one way to rebel.
"So, go according to the plan! Sister Crane, the matter at sea will trouble you. Oda Shinna said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry~" Dazhu Crane smiled, said, walked to Oda Shinna's side and whispered, "Behave well, if you can win Kyushu, my sister will support you to win the lord!" ”
"It's a deal!" Oda Shinna heard this, although he was a little shy, but he still said quickly. That look, as if he was afraid that Da Zhu Crane would regret it.
"Hehe, it's a deal!" Ozuru smiled and touched Oda Shinna's hair, although sisters are commensurate, but in the eyes of Ozuru these women of Oda Yoshinobu, Oda Shinna is more like his daughter. Belch...... It seems a little strange to say that.
Subsequently, the Great Zhu Crane led the navy to leave Toyogo, and together with many surrendered sailors, he began to blockade the territorial waters of the Maori family. Oda Shinna and Shigeharu Takenaka began to attack Funachikan, and at the same time sent ninjas to negotiate with various forces. As for the content of the negotiations, it was naturally persuaded to surrender.
Whether it's Oda Shinna or Shigeharu Takenaka, they don't think there's anything to cooperate with the many forces in Kyushu.
At this time, the various forces in Kyushu had already received the news that the Takeda family had surrendered, and that the Maori naval army had been defeated, and the Maori family had begun to retreat.
“……”
Including Ryuzoji Takanobu, everyone was stunned when they received the news. There is no way, not long ago, they received the news that the battlefield of Shikoku was a little difficult. And how long has it been now? It's changing too fast, isn't it?
Speaking of which, these people did not really want to support the Maori family, in fact, at this moment, their troops did not leave the territory at all, in order to delay time and wait for the situation to change. Because they all know very well that whether it is the Maori family or the Oda family, they are predators they can't afford to mess with. But they don't want to be used as cannon fodder, and all they can do is stall for time.
But now...... They were glad to find that they had delayed a bit, otherwise......
"Is the message confirmed?!" Shimazu Yoshihisa looked at Shimazu with blazing eyes.
"It's true! It is indeed a ninja of the Oda family! Moreover, the younger brother also sent someone to investigate, and the troops of the Oda family have indeed landed in Bungo Province. Shimazu said in a deep voice.
"Excellent! Then follow the second plan, act! Shimazu Yoshihisa stood up and said loudly.
Two plans, one following the Mori family and one following the Oda family. As a small force, if they are not prepared for both in this situation, only destruction awaits them.
And in Hizen, Ryuzoji Takanobu also made the most important decision in his life under the persuasion of Nabeshima Naoshige. "Pass my order and prepare to go on the expedition!"
"Naoshige, I'll leave the matter of negotiating with the Oda family to you!" Ryuzoji Takanobu looked at Naoshige Nabeshima and said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, lord! The subordinates will definitely strive for more benefits for their family! Naoshige Nabeshima looked at Ryuzoji Takanobu solemnly.
And Sagara, Aso, Ito and other forces are also discussing matters between Mori and the Oda family. However, compared to Shimazu and Ryuzoji, the actions of these three are obviously a little slow.
