There were no cavalry, let alone archers, and on the battlefield where there was only white-knuckle combat, the skill of the Shoyoshi team made the Shomu faction defeat like a mountain, and the entire army of 10,000 infantry was defeated in an instant, and a large number of defeated troops escaped from the rear gate of the Ueno Tenshu and fled in the direction of Honnoji Temple on Shikoku Island.

However, before that, the retainers and patriarchs of the Shomu faction did not flee, but were forced into the Ueno Castle Tower by the Shoji team, and after stubbornly resisting for nearly half an hour, when the patriarch of the Nagamune family was forced to commit suicide, the heads of the two families of Date and Hojo were cut off by the Shoyoshi team in turn, and the desperate patriarchs of the other families of the Shomakur faction used a fire to set the Ueno castle tower on fire and turn it into a "mountain of flames", and the battle of the Ueno castle tower was also coming to an end.

At this time, after seeing the fall of the Ueno castle tower, most of the surviving soldiers of the Shogunate faction who were engaged in naval battles outside the port abandoned their weapons and surrendered to the Sunset, except for the sailors in the Ataka ship, and the Samurai of the Shogunate faction were slaughtered by the Maori sailors and the Sunset's sailors, and when the last of the last Ataka ships of the original Shogunate was planted with the Sunset Three Lions Flag, the decisive battle for Shikoku Island, the Battle of Ueno, also ended with the victory of the Sunset.

In terms of naval warfare, the sun never set annihilated all the navies of the Shoku faction's counterattack army, capturing 25 Kozao, 13 Sengoku ships, 8 Seki ships, 4 Iro ships and 6 Ataka ships, and also captured more than 2,000 ashigaru and samurai who were good at naval warfare of the Shoku faction, and destroyed more than 4,000 enemy soldiers and destroyed more than 50 enemy ships; The corresponding Sunset Navy also lost more than 800 sailors, 4 Hawker assault ships and 7 Garry, while the Maori Navy lost nearly 1,000 ashigaru and samurai, while more than a dozen Sengoku and Kohaya ships, while medium warships and heavy warships did not suffer losses due to the fact that they fought against the enemy's ships of the same class, and only because of the enemy's light warships.

However, all of the ships involved in the battle suffered varying degrees of damage, especially a Hawkgar battleship, whose keel was found to have cracked during the inspection and repair. The rest of the ships, decks, sails and other parts of the ships were damaged, and these warships were estimated to be unable to be repaired in less than ten days and half a month.

Compared with the land battle, the sun does not set on the side because of the calculation of the Zunmu faction, and sacrificed nearly 10,000 sea warriors, including 2,000 Naga and more than 7,000 fish-man warriors, the Changyi team only joined the battlefield when the battle entered the end, so there were no casualties, and less than 50 people were killed in the battle, but because of the desperate family patriarchs of the Zunmu faction, the mountain and field castle tower were set on fire, so that many members of the Changyi team who did not have time to escape died in the fire. According to post-war statistics, as many as 100 members of the Changyi team died in battle and were unable to participate in the battle due to fatal injuries, and the Changyi team also lost 10 points in an instant after the war.

The loss of 10,000 people was exchanged for the death and surrender of 15,000 ashigaru and 10,000 samurai on the side of the Shogunate, the defeat and surrender of more than 5,000 ashigaru in the direction of Honnoji Temple, and the death of all high-ranking members of the Shogunate faction. But such a record still made Sun Lin feel worthless, especially when Sun Lin learned that the patriarch of the three main families in the Zunmu faction was not at the level of Maori Yuan, that is to say, the so-called patriarch of the Changzong and my clan was not the patriarch of the Changzong family, and the patriarch of the Date family was not Date Masamune, and the patriarch of the Hojo family was not the Hojo clan, and he felt that although the battle of Ueno was won, it was also a loss, just because the more than 3,000 Naga warriors died in battle or could not participate in the war in the future due to serious injuries, Sun Lin felt distressed for a long time, Not to mention, the other party also pulled more than 6,000 fish-man warriors on their backs.

Due to the excessive casualties, and the fact that most of the soldiers in Sun Lin's hands were naval forces and were not good at land warfare, and the residents of Ueno Castle and the surrounding areas needed Maori soldiers to appease them, Sun Lin did not order the pursuit of the 5,000 deserters of the Shogunate faction who fled, but led his army into the Ueno Castle Tower to recuperate and repair Ueno Castle while recuperating.

And between April 29th and 30th, Sun Lin received news from the other three Shikoku island castles, Hizen, Higo and Gangpu three cities have been occupied by the 30,000 army of Hitose, the preliminary statistics of the army of the sunset army lost nearly 4,000 people, and eliminated more than 5,000 samurai and 10,000 ashigaru stationed in the three castle towers, but nearly 6,000 ashigaru fled to the island. In addition to the previous Ashigaru to which Ueno Castle fled to, although the entire island of Shikoku has fallen into the hands of the sunset, there is still a potential crisis on Shikoku Island, including the monks of the Honnoji Temple, with a total of more than 10,000 troops loyal to the Honnoji faction, especially after the news that the army general who attacked the Okami Tenshu reported back that the eldest son of the Hyuga family fled to the Honnoji Temple under the cover of his retainers, Sun Lin hurriedly called Mori Yuan over.

"Moto, what do you think of the situation in which the eldest son of the Hyuga family fled to Honnoji Temple?" Sun Lin gently tapped on the wooden table, and asked Mao Liyuan with a solemn face.

"Hmm............... Trouble, the Hyuga family's ability to command soldiers is not strong, more than 10,000 ashigaru in its hands is at best just a group of rabble, and the threat to the 30,000 road army that does not set is not great, but the difficulty is that Shikoku Island is Hinata's territory, and the strong dragon can't suppress the head snake, and Hinata's eldest son, as long as he is a little smart, will definitely lead 10,000 ashigaru to fight a guerrilla war with us, and drag until the arrival of reinforcements from the Zunmu faction, and 80% of our current warships will not be able to participate in the war in the near future, At that time, the reinforcements of the Shogunate faction can resist the landing at any point on the coastline of Shikoku Island at will, and with the 10,000 Ashigaru internal flowering of Hyuga, Shikoku Island will be lost at that time, and it will be ................"

"And what?"

"I'm afraid that the Hyuga family will use the monks of the Honnoji Temple to confront us, although Shinto does not reject other religions, but it is not interested in others, if Hinata reverses black and white and makes the monks of Honnoji think that we are going to demolish Honnoji Temple and rebuild a Christian church............ At that time, it will not only be the problem of the more than 1,000 monks and soldiers, but I estimate that those who believe in Shinto will also join Hinata's side, after all, they have been operating in the area of Shikoku Island for so many years, and the people are more willing to believe in Hinata. ”

"Indeed, the problem of Honnoji must be solved, we must occupy it before Hinata's eldest son arrives at Honnoji, I think we still have time, and with the speed of the Shoyoshi team, we should be able to take on this task......... Actually, the real purpose of my calling you here is not the business of Shikoku Island, those rebels are at best just clowns jumping off the beam. ”

"Then the purpose of your majesty's calling me here is ............," Mao Liyuan asked with a puzzled expression.

"Yuan." The corners of Sun Lin's mouth suddenly brought a wicked smile: "Are you interested in letting your navy come to a siege to help?" ”
