Before the arrival of November, the follow-up troops of the Huaxia Fusang Expeditionary Force arrived.

Feng Sanhu changed the previous practice of organizing the field army, reserve force, and militia separately, and took the field army as the core, and directly filled most of the reserve force and militia into various formed units to form battle groups.

The new Fuso Expeditionary Force was organized into a total of 12 battle groups, of which the 1st to 10th battle groups each had 1,000 men, and the infantry, artillery, cavalry, and engineer arms were mixed.

The Eleventh Battle Group was a group of private slaves brought in by the reservists and militias, who had no guns and only cold weapons, and were therefore grouped separately.

The Twelfth Battle Group consisted of marines and sailors ashore.

Not counting the navy, the army force under Feng Sanhu has exceeded 12,000 people.

More troops are expected to arrive in a month's time, including more than 20,000 native soldiers, almost 2,000 Sauron tribesmen, at least 10,000 Waibo Goryeo soldiers, and 1,000 Waibo Ryukyu soldiers.

On the side of Fuso's local allies, the Mori and Ryuzoji armies had more than 30,000 soldiers, and the Nagamune Ibu family and the Shimazu family, who had finally ended their swing and agreed to join the coalition army, could provide more than 10,000 soldiers, all of which added up to more than 40,000 soldiers, and 50,000 soldiers were slightly insufficient.

In terms of strength alone, even if you don't count the follow-up reinforcements, the 60,000 army is enough to surpass any strategic group of the Oda Army, not to mention the combat power advantage brought by the firepower gap.

At present, the main enemy that Feng Sanhu is facing is the Hosokawa Fujitaka group, a subordinate of the Oda Army, which is entrenched in Miyazu Castle in the Tango region (Feng Sanhu does not quite understand why the Fuso people can divide the sixty-six countries with such a small territory, and he feels that it is too false to write the record of the six countries that have been conquered so far since the beginning of the war in the war report, so he only refers to the country of Fuso as a region).

Intelligence indicates that this group should currently have about 40,000 soldiers, and the previously defeated Hashiba Hideyoshi should also have fled to Tango, where he gathered his routs and prepared to defend against the next offensive of the coalition forces with Hosokawa.

In addition, Kameyama Castle in the Tamba region has the Oda Army Akechi Mitsuhide Group; Itami in the Settsu region has the Ikeda Tsuneko Group; Osaka has the Niwa Nagahide Group; Sakai Port in the Izumi region is home to the Tokugawa Ieyasu Group, a hardcore ally of the Oda family.

With the exception of the Takigawa Ichiyi group on the eastern front, which remained in Ueno to fight Hojo, and the Shibata Katsuya group who stayed in the Echichu region to fight against Uesugi, the Oda army concentrated all its main forces on the western front, preparing to resist the attack of the coalition forces.

However, when nearly 300,000 troops from both sides gathered, and a decisive battle was about to break out, Oda suddenly changed on the side of the army.

On the second day of the first month of November, Akechi Mitsuhide, a general of the Oda Army and one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Oda, suddenly launched a mutiny and commanded 15,000 soldiers to surround the Kyoto Honnoji Temple where Oda Nobunaga was staying.

At that time, Oda Nobunaga only had a few hundred guards around him, so he was naturally not the opponent of Akechi Mitsuhide, who had tens of thousands of troops, and finally Oda Nobunaga committed suicide in Honnoji Temple.

After killing Oda Nobunaga, Akechi Mitsuhide continued his attack, and Oda Nobunaga's eldest son, Oda Nobutada, committed suicide at the Nijo Imperial Palace near Honnoji.

No one knows why Akechi Mitsuhide suddenly defected, but it is already a fact that because of the betrayal of the general, the Oda army lost both the supreme commander and its first successor.

Before Feng Sanhu and the coalition forces reacted to this sudden incident, Hideyoshi Hashiba, Fujitaka Hosokawa, Tsuneko Ikeda, and Nagahide Niwa of the Oda Army's Western Front joined forces and returned from the front with Oda Nobunaga's second son, Oda Nobuo, and his third son, Oda Nobutaka, and marched towards Kyoto in an attempt to pacify Akechi Mitsuhide's rebels.

Feng Sanhu didn't expect things to suddenly turn out like this, nearly 200,000 enemy troops suddenly disappeared from the front line, and all the enemies were scrambling to march towards their own capital, as if the coalition forces did not exist at all.

The Chinese army does not quite understand this kind of Fusang-style thinking, but the local Fuso people do not have this problem.

After the evacuation of the Oda army, the followers of the Honda sect raised a large number of troops and reoccupied their former hometown of Osaka.

Members of the coalition forces, such as Maori and Ryuzoji, also hoped to march as soon as possible and participate in the gluttonous feast of carving up Oda.

It's a feast, but not everyone can serve it.

On the fifth day of November, after Feng Sanhu completed the formation of the expeditionary force, he ordered a new attack.

Among them, the army attacked the three areas of Tango, Tamba, and Settsu, and the navy landed directly from Sakai Port.

The remaining Oda army did not resist, and all four areas were occupied by the coalition forces.

But then, four battle groups of the Chinese army (three army and navy) suddenly marched into Osaka, and all the leaders of the Ichijo sect that occupied Osaka were arrested, and their subordinate armed forces were disarmed.

The remaining followers of the Ichisho sect immediately rebelled against the Huaxia, and an important ally of the Ichijo sect, Mori Terumoto, pleaded with Feng Sanhu, hoping to pardon the Ichijo sect and return Osaka to the Ichijo sect, in exchange for allowing the Huaxia to occupy the territory of Oda by any of the three kingdoms.

Feng Sanhu was puzzled by Maori Huiyuan's proposal, and he did not understand why Maori thought that the Chinese army needed his consent to occupy the land of Fuso.

Therefore, Feng Sanhu refused to pardon the main leaders of the Yixiang Sect, and on the tenth day of November, without any trial, all the middle and high-level leaders of the Yixiang Sect who were arrested by the Chinese army were executed.

This sparked a direct confrontation between the Chinese army and its Fuso allies, with the Mori Army, the Ryuzoji Army, the Nagamune Army, and the Shimazu Army giving up the attack, and the nearly 50,000-strong army confronted the Chinese army entrenched in the Osaka, Sakai, and Awaji triangles.

The situation in Fuso took another sharp turn, and after the civil strife in the Oda army, the coalition forces were also quickly divided, and the battle between the Chinese army and the Fuso coalition army was on the verge of breaking out.

From November 12 to 13, a decisive battle broke out between the Yushiba army and the Meiji army at the Yamazaki generation near Mt. Tenno, and the Oda former minister, who had an absolute superiority in troops, was victorious, and on November 15, Oda's traitor Akechi Mitsuhide committed suicide.

Theoretically, the Oda civil strife should have ended here, but the reality is certainly not so simple.

Since Oda Nobunaga and his eldest son were both dead, the Oda army after the crusade against Akechi Mitsuhide quickly split into the Hideyoshi Hashiba, Niwa Nagahide, and Ikeda Tsuneko factions, which supported Oda Nobunaga's eldest grandson, Oda Hidenobu, and the Shibata Katsuie and Takigawa Ichiyi factions, which supported Oda Nobunaga's third son, Oda Nobutaka.

On the other hand, the confrontation between the coalition forces continued, and the 50,000-strong Fuso Army carried out a de facto encirclement of the area around Osaka and Sakai Port, while refusing to continue to provide food, grass and labor supplies to Feng Sanhu's troops.

At the same time, another 20,000 or so Fuso troops quietly surrounded and blockaded Nagasaki, the Chinese leased territory.

Mori Terumoto, the head of the Fuso daimyo of the coalition, secretly contacted Hideyoshi Hashiba, and the two sides seemed to have a temporary truce, each settling the intentions of their former allies first.
