biquge.info On the side of Oteshima, which is about ten miles away from the west side of Manabe Island, before noon on April 2, more than ten large ships suddenly appeared, one of the largest ships, Miyamoto Dentai, the general of the salt-saturated water army, and Kasaimoto, who was from one of the best in Sanuki country, and Xiang Xiyuan, who was from one of the best in Sanuki country, were sitting together, and there were more than a dozen sailors in different clothes waiting in the back.

Miyamoto Dentai is an old man in his fifties, he still seems to be in good spirits, he is already a little drunk, he was originally born in the Higo famous Kikuchi clan, but the current head of the family Kikuchi Yoshitake and Otomo Yoshizhen have a bad relationship, even the head of the family Kikuchi Yoshitake ran to the eighth generation to take refuge in Sagara Haruha, he can see it, he led the clan to Sanki four or five years ago, and relied on excellent sea kung fu after a bloody slaughter to become a member of the salt-saturated water army, the big man He was supposed to be holding a crown ceremony for his little grandson, but got a secret letter from a cronie of the salt and water army who was stationed in Teshima.,Immediately ran to the city of the Xiangxi clan's residence and reported to the current supporter of the salt and water army, the head of the Xiangxi clan, Kasai Motoding.

Xiangxi Yuan's name carries Yuan's name, in fact, it is very unfortunate that his resourcefulness is really not worthy of Yuan's name as a certain old guy, his spirit is not very good, and his whole body is tightly wrapped, how good it would be if he could go home at this moment, how beautiful and intelligent the wife and concubine of the family are He is only twenty-five years old, but he is a younger brother of Xiangxi Yuanding, he got on the boat and followed Miyamoto Dentai's side just to show the existence of the Xiangxi family, Although the power of the Xiangxi family is now beaten by the Shihe family, which has the support of the third family, and it is impossible to find the north, perhaps because of this, he will want to show the sense of existence of the Xiangxi family more and more, but he fell into the shallow waters of the Seto Inland Sea when he got on the ship, if it weren't for the timely rescue of the guard, maybe he would have become the first member of the expedition team to die unnaturally, he sat in the shelter at the bow of the boat, for fear that the cold wind was blowing, his sick body was pale, and his sick face was a little dissatisfied

Xiang Xiyuan coughed twice, drank a sip of hot tea, he didn't like tea very much, but he heard that tea was good for his condition, so he forced himself to drink tea, these teas were still in his hands from Miyamoto Tsutofu, he was quite in awe of the old man in front of him, just with means and not a lot of manpower, he just became a pivotal figure in the salt-saturated water army in just a few years, roasting is not only financial and material resources but also ruthless, secretly others may not know, But as a member of the Xiangxi family, Xiangxi Yuan knew it, and he felt more and more awe

Xiang Xiyuan drank the hot tea, and his face was obviously rosy, of course, these were only temporary, but he could also see that the tea was quite useful to his body, and then he drank two more sips before he spoke: "Miyamoto Dentai, is the news you got correct, Manabe Island has really become an empty island, can you give up it?" It is obviously not very sure of the information it gets, the importance of Manabe Island, even a guy like him who eats and waits for death knows it, not to mention Murakami Takeshi of Noh Island, that is a figure that even Miyamoto Dentai has to avoid, it is the sudden rise of Murakami Takeshi that greatly reduces the scope of the Salt Salt Army's maritime activities, and also makes the originally good alliance between the Salt Salt Army and the Murakami Water Army instantly become a mortal enemy

Miyamoto Dentai's eyes, which had been squinting slightly, suddenly opened, and a pair of small eyes under one eyelid were as sharp as lightning, and said: "My people are all over the Salt Islands, they will not deceive me, even if they want to deceive me, they will not open such a lie, everyone knows the importance of Manabe Island to us, and the people of Noh Island will not use such a clumsy scheme to lure us into attacking, so as to ambush us, now the advantage of Noh Island over our salt-saturated water army is still quite large, and you can directly come to the door to provoke, why use Manabe Island, The contents of MeSign should be roughly true, but it needs to be confirmed now."

Xiang Xiyuan drank all the hot tea in the cup in one go, and didn't add it again, it's not good to drink more, there is a lot of urine, he just fell into the Seto Inland Sea because of the small solution boat, he smiled bitterly and said: "That's right, it's just why did we come here to blow the cold wind, isn't it good to return to the port?" There is not much tea left, although my condition is much better, but I still need to ask the doctor to take some medicine."

Miyamoto Dentai was quite despised in his heart for the incompetence of Kasai Moto, but now the salt and water army is weak, and under the repeated attacks of Murakami Takeyoshi, the losses are heavy and the number of troops is reduced, and it is not the time to fall out with the Kasai family, explaining: "Now the news that Manabe Island has become an empty island has not spread, if we board for a day or two, there will be something for us, Manabe Island is a good place, as long as you get stuck there, the annual sail money you get there is also a lot of income, and you can use this as a front to block the threat from Noh Island" Saying that, he glanced at the dozen or so big ships under his command, his face was pale, he originally owned more than 20 big ships, and he was one of the largest forces in the salt and water army, and now there are more than a dozen big ships left, but they have truly become the largest force in the salt and water army, there is no one, most of the other forces have suffered heavy losses under the wave attack of Murakami Takeyoshi, and some have even disappeared forever in the sea route of the Seto Inland Sea

Xiang Xiyuan thought of the income that he might get after capturing Manabe Island, and his face was covered with a sickly red tide, obviously he had been moved, and nodded heavily: "Your words are indeed true"

The little hayamon who went to explore was convinced of the situation on Manabe Island in the wind and waves, and Miyamoto Dentai and Kasai Mototo immediately began a large-scale advance on Manabe Island, of course, they did not encounter any resistance, to be exact, there was no one on Manabe Island, the living people had been gone for more than a day, and the dead were all tied to a stone and thrown into the Seto Inland Sea to become a dinner for the big fish, but the traces of fierce battles on the island were everywhere, after all, Date was in a bit of a hurry before leaving, There is no way and I don't want to wipe off the gore after the fierce fight

Miyamoto Dentai's mood is complicated, who made the originally relatively strong Manabe Castle on Manabe Island a collapsed ruin, full of excavated caves, caverns and rubble in the caverns, and a few boring sailors picked up a few pieces of broken silver that fell in a hurry, but Honmaru remained intact

When the salt-saturated water army led by Miyamoto Dentai and Kasai Mototo officially landed on Manabe Island, a cargo ship that transported vegetables to Manabe Island and two escorted small ships appeared on the east side of Manabe Island. But where did I think that I would run into the patrol ship of the salt-saturated water army

Of course, Miyamoto Shibei, the same clan of Miyamoto Dentai, did not expect to meet the Murakami Navy of Noshima so early, anyway, now they and the Murakami Navy are enemies, and there is no reason why they can't fight, standing on a big ship, he immediately conveyed the order of the siege: "Surround them, surround them, kill them, can't let them run" Miyamoto Shibei sent someone to deliver a letter to Miyamoto Dentaro while organizing people to start rounding up the transport ship and the small hayafune He didn't want to fight against the Murakami Navy on Noshima now, Obviously, he didn't know that Murakami Bujichi was not on Noh Island, and he was heading to Kyushu with a large army

The general on the transport ship knew that it was bad as soon as he saw the temperament of the salt saturated water army appear in his field of vision, he never expected to meet the damn salt saturated water army here, it seems that he is attacking Manabe Island, he hit it directly, he can no longer care about the truth of Manabe Island, all he wants is to escape from this ghost place and return to Noh Island to tell the elders who stayed behind the bad news, and then observe at sea in the era when you basically rely on your eyes, you see people, and people see you

A boat general rowed the boat with a hideous smile, thinking that the two small morning boats collided directly, but now the two sides are still some distance away, just getting closer and closer, he shouted loudly: "The transport ship is not fast, first hit and sink the small morning boat for me, and then round up the transport ship, we have time to play with it."

In the Seto Inland Sea, the big ship is always more stable than the small boat, the small boat can not row too fast, the tragedy of the boat capsizing and dying is because I don't know the severity of the cause, but between life and death, the people on the small morning boat also don't care about the threat of the boat capsizing, shouting loudly, "row, row for me, hit it is death, the boat capsized is also death, anyway, it is death, fight it" "The small boat flew out like an arrow with a roar"

As they walked away, the hideous ship general had a smile on his face and shouted, "Shoot me, shoot him to stop me and stop the bastard thing on Noh Island from leaving"

The skirmish ended in an imperfect victory on the side of the salt-saturated water army, relying on luck and water, before the ship sank, a dilapidated small morning ship finally escaped, but it was rare to put on a living creature, only an exhausted sailor remained, covered in blood, the fisherman's coat had already been tattered, there was no intact place, the bow and arrow shot by the Maruki bow behind his back stuck into the muscles, and he was able to move slightly, and his legs could not support his body at all, and he could no longer sit still, Even if he leaned on the small morning boat, he couldn't sit still, he was afraid that he would not be able to stand up again after lying down, so he tried his best to open his eyes, and the small morning boat was just drifting along the current, but the Murakami naval flag on the bow of the boat was still fluttering

It wasn't until the next morning, on the morning of April 3, that the small morning boat that had been wandering all night was finally rescued by two passing ships, and the news of Manabejima's attack on the salt-saturated army began to spread, and after a few days, the flag of the salt-saturated navy fluttering on Manabe's island indicated that the island had changed hands

On the one hand, the Murakami Navy on Noh Island sent messengers to transmit the information to Murakami Buyoshi, who was still fighting hard in the distance, and on the other hand, he stepped up the defense on Noh Island, nervously waiting for the attack of the Salt Filled Water Army, and a battle for hegemony in the Seto Inland Sea gradually kicked off, and the hatred value of the Murakami Water Army on Noh Island was also pulled over by the Salt Salt Salt Army

The fall of Kasaokama Castle and Murakami's grand death in battle were directly ignored by the two families who covered up their eyes in anger, although Miyamoto Dentai suspected that the matter of Manabe Island was done by the Date family, but there was no definite evidence and the Ida's family was almost none, so that Miyamoto Dentaio directly skipped over, it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to break through Manabejima, and it is impossible to break through Manabejima in three or two clicks without enough ships on the landing Ashigaru to be able to break Manabejima, this is not self-deception, It can only explain the incompetence and idiocy of the salt-saturated water army that has been defeated repeatedly

Of course, the Murakami Navy on Noh Island will not let go of the Date family, and the hatred value is also full, but the enemy must also distinguish the relationship between primary and secondary, and now the salt and water army has directly broken through their defense line, and the power has greatly increased, Yan zhòng has damaged the interests of Noh Island, and it is not appropriate to start a war with the Date family again, and if you want to start a war, you can only use ships to harass the Date family, but it is unfortunate to sue you, the Date family is just a strong family on land, if you want to harass others, you also have to have a good tooth, of course, the Date family also has a water army, However, most of them anchored in Kasaoka Bay, which is considered a complete coastal sea army, and if they want to attack their ships, they will have to rush into Kasaoka Bay, and it is a matter of whether they can rush in or out, and they don't have to think about harassing the Date family in a short time under the direct threat of the salt and water army

With a small trick, the Mashiro ignited the hatred between the Salt Satie Water Army and the Noshima Murakami Water Army, and the two families could not harass the development of the Date family in a short period of time, and the Date family, which had received a lot of financial support, once again began their expansion without the slightest stop

Shun lì solved the political balance of the war between the salt and water army and the Noshima Murakami water army on Manabe Island did not stop the pace of expansion of the Date army Although spring ploughing has come, most of the peasant soldiers have returned to agriculture and started farming, but they still organized a team of more than 1,000 people with financial resources and food security, if it weren't for the huge spoils of war just obtained on Manabe Island, Zhengheng also has no way to launch a joint battle in the case of spring ploughing, this team of more than 1,000 people is considered the prototype of the separation of soldiers and peasants, and the mercenary army specializing in combat is of course if it is not afraid of affecting spring ploughing and the people's hearts, the Date family can also draw out a large-scale peasant army, but it is taboo to go out during the spring ploughing, if the peasants are used, it will definitely make the people's hearts and the army unstable, so that the Date family, which is already unstable, will lose more than it loses

The first to be attacked was the Kamoyama Castle in Asakchi County, which refused to surrender.,The lord of the castle is Hosokawa Tsufumi, who was born in the famous Nosu Hosokawa clan, Originally, he was supposed to be in the main camp Iyo Kunigawa no Ejo Castle.,It's just that a few years ago, he heard about the decline of the power of the Mimura family.,Thinking about the expectation of re-rising.,I came to Kamoyama Castle a month ago.,I didn't expect to meet the rise of the Date family.,Hosokawa Tsufumi, who already sees China as something in his pocket.,Hosokawa Tsufumi, who thinks he's a famous family, of course looks down on Date Masahiro, who was born in the mountains., Directly drove out the envoy of the Date family's persuasion, and did not believe that Hosokawa Tsufumi, who came out to fight during the spring ploughing season, stepped up the work of wooing the strongholds near Kamoyama Castle, and sent the envoy to form an alliance with the nearby big forces to jointly deal with the rise of the Date family

Hosokawa looked at the Date army that began to assemble outside the city, and his eyes were full of horror, because generally speaking, this period is a period when the armies of the daimyo are few, and the armies of the daimyo who are mainly peasant soldiers have to go to the fields to cultivate, but the Date army, which has more than 1,000 people in front of him, is by no means a temporary transfer of peasant soldiers, not to mention that this army looks neatly moved, and it is clearly a combat corps specializing in combat, in addition to the combat effectiveness of such a combat corps is far superior to that of ordinary peasant soldiers, another important point is that the combat of peasant soldiers has a time limit, If it is a busy agricultural period, it is necessary to withdraw immediately, otherwise it will affect the productivity of its territory, but if you have such a combat corps, you do not need to retreat during the agricultural period at all, as long as there is enough food, you can constantly encircle or harass an area, so that it cannot devote itself to production

Zhengheng camped in the area of Kosaka, and began to suppress Kamoyama Castle, two catapults were also under intense construction, and hundreds of iron cannons and twenty wisteria bows were also arranged around the catapults to protect Yayama CastleHosokawa Tsufumi, obviously not ready to fight back, he didn't expect that the Date family would launch a joint battle during the spring ploughing, and the peasants under his command had already gone home for spring ploughing, and only the more than 100 relatives he brought from Iyo Province were left behind, but how could more than 100 relatives resist the full force of the Date army, He's not the grand Murakami of Kasaoka Castle, and he doesn't know the combat power of the Date family at all, especially the tragedy of Yonechi Castle and Kasaoka Castle made him completely sober up, time waits for no one, whether to fight or retreat, kuài needs to make a decision

Hosokawa Tsufumi, who was born in a famous family, has no concept of surrender, the only thing he thinks of is that there is no possibility of victory in the battle, and it is possible to stay in Yashan City forever, at the time of life and death, his only decision is only one, that is, to get out of the Ita army has not yet formed a siege There is still a time to get out, in fact, Zhengheng takes the three sides to encircle the three and give up one side to let the other party have a way to escape, and then ambush and annihilate the enemy on the middle of the road. But he didn't ambush on the road, Hosokawa Tsufumi left more useful than killed, lost Yashan Castle Hosokawa Tsufumi has no territory in China, he only has one way to go, that is, to return to Iyo country, the Date family has not yet unified China, of course, it is impossible to expand the power of the great Iyo country, he does not have a hobby of making wedding dresses for others

On April 6th, the city of Kamoyama was broken without a fight, and the Date family finally took the Asakchi gun into the bag, and the castle was besieged by the Date family on three sides, and in the case of Matsuyama Castle still being brothers, Masahiro launched a formal attack on the castle of Saruhang, once the castle was broken, the richest Kurashiki in China would be open to the military might of the Date army (to be continued)
