In the battle of Aichigawa, although the army of the Rokkaku family did not break the muscles and bones, but because of the defeat in this battle, the battle line was pushed to the bottom of the castle of Kannonji Temple, and the defense line of Kusatsu - Mizuguchi on the western front did not last long in the case of the enemy on the back of the abdomen, and was broken through by Miyoshi Chokei after ten days, and the army of the 30,000 Miyoshi family did not go to Kannonji Castle, but launched a fierce attack on Otowa Castle, intending to cut off the connection between the Rokkaku family and the country of Iga, so that the Rokkaku family will be completely encircled, even if Ashikaga Molong wants to rescue, he can't save it.

Miyoshi Chokei's move caused a very strong resistance from the Rokkaku family, and a large number of Iga ninjas walked out of the mountains and frantically attacked the logistics troops of the Miyoshi Army, and the masters of the temple also entered Otowa Castle one after another, providing support for the defense of the city with a large number of iron cannons and a large number of manpower.

The entire land of, centered on the two fortresses of the Rokkaku family's Kannonji Castle and Otowa Castle, nearly 150,000 troops on both sides fought into a sea of corpses and blood, and the length of the battle and the severity of the tragedy were far greater than the previous Nagashima battle. Ishiyama Honganji, Kii Kuni, and Hatanoya's army, which were constantly harassing Miyoshi's army in the rear, failed to contain Miyoshi's 30,000-strong army. In fact, the Miyoshi family, which was approaching 2 million stones, had already been prepared, and the dispatch of 30,000 troops was to leave enough troops to the rear to prevent the siege of various forces, and there were still more than 50,000 Miyoshi troops in waiting for these forces to come to the door, and the entire land was in flames of war.

Ashikaga Molong is quite calm about this, the Rokkaku family was supposed to be sacrificed in his plan, but Otowa Castle must not fall, otherwise if the helpless helpers he prepared for Oda Nobunaga are all wiped out in Omi, there will be no one behind him to contain him. For this reason, Ashikaga Molong dispatched 3,000 people from the Kohata Kenshige Army to help, not to look down on Miyoshi Chokei, but to play cavalry, most of the people in Kinki are compared to the Kanto samurai, and they are really a younger brother. His request to Kohata Kenshige was also very simple, and he didn't go to help defend the city, but when he saw that Otowa Castle was about to be unbearable, he directly raided Miyoshi Chokei's main camp and forced Miyoshi Chokei to come back to help, so that Otowa Castle could make another wave. If Miyoshi Chokei pursues this cavalry, then retreat to the mountains of Iga Province, and if Miyoshi Chokei dares to chase in, the ninjas of Iga Country will teach him how to behave.

However, there was news from the Ming Kingdom, Wang Zhi successfully cleared his hands and went ashore, and was cordially received by Hu Zongxian, a bigwig who was extremely influential in the military and political circles, and Wang Zhi presented the documents that Ashikaga Molong requested to be canonized, which immediately made Hu Zongxian a thief with face. After playing the imperial court, the bigwigs of the Ming Kingdom simply gave Ashikaga Molong a Wa king, in fact, this title has long been given to the Ashikaga family, but then the shogunate declined, and no one cared about it, and now Ashikaga Molong is just canonizing it again. However, the bigwigs of the Ming Kingdom also put forward a request: Ashikaga Molong must restrain and restrain the Japanese Kou, and he cannot always run to disturb the coast.

What's going on with the Japanese Invaders, in fact, Ashikaga Molong knows very well that the Japanese people are basically working boys among the Japanese Invaders, and the real bosses are the coastal gentry, who collude with fishermen, pirates, and Japanese people to form a huge Japanese group to monopolize import and export trade and make huge profits from it, Wang Zhi is actually the role of a general manager. But Wang was directly recruited by the imperial court, which was equivalent to betraying the group, and it was a matter of time before he was killed, and for Wang Zhi's huge fleet, Ashikaga Molong could covet it for a long time. Now that the bigwigs of the Ming Kingdom have spoken in person, Ashikaga Molong has the opportunity to mix sand into the fleet. Of course, as long as Wang Zhi is still alive, mixed with sand can only be mixed with sand, as soon as Wang Zhi dies, he can occupy the magpie's nest, although it is impossible to get rid of it all, but at least pull out the strongest navy of the Japanese country is not a problem. Moreover, the slipways that Wang Zhi helped were also in working condition, and they were going all out to build merchant ships. More importantly, after Kanto became Wang Zhixin's shipbuilding base, a cannon manufacturing plant was set up here! As early as the time of the Mongolian army's westward expedition, in fact, it had already carried a large number of small-caliber artillery, and it was completely possible to conquer the small fortress when it arrived, and the field battle was carried out with reckless tactics, and the siege was increased with cannon fodder to increase the artillery bombardment, and then the city was washed to supplement the logistics, which was the tactics of the Mongolian army sweeping through Europe and Asia. For European countries whose equipment level is not as good as that of the Celestial Empire and Tang Dynasty, such combat effectiveness is completely desperate. Had it not been for the Black Death, which forced the Western Expedition to continue its march, the whole of Europe might have been washed by the Mongol cavalry. The historical introduction I see now is more the result of self-boasting after the development of Europe, especially since many places are still in the stage of tribal civilization, and the historical records can still accurately the army to single digits.

During the Mengyuan period, there were border guards equipped with more than 300 cannons. When Zhu Chongba angrily scolded Chen Youliang, the water battle between the two sides was also a large number of gunboats bombarding, and the people of the Heavenly Empire who played with cannons were actually the ancestors. Even when we were in the Qing Dynasty, the same large-scale artillery of the Eight Banners was just to prevent the Han people from resisting, and the amount of firearms in the Green Battalion was deliberately suppressed. The result was that after the abolition of the Eight Banners, the Green Battalion had no combat effectiveness in front of the modern troops, and was directly pressed to the ground to sing about conquest.

At this time, the Daming artillery casting technology was still in a very powerful state, at least much stronger than the craftsmen in Kii who imitated it themselves, and Wang Zhi had many pirates, and he was a big consumer of arms, and he had a military industrial system, and now he just painted a gourd and copied a part of it in the Kanto region. This is also the reason why Ashikaga Molong has not led the main force to Shangluo for a long time, even if the Rokkaku family is in danger, he will never waver. After all, his tactics have always relied on playing field battles before, and siege battles are very rare, but if Shangluo is in words, he will have to face a series of fortified cities on the road. If the other party is strong and clear, Ashikaga Molong does not dare to guarantee that he will not retreat because of the exhaustion of food. But it's different with cannons, no matter how strong the city wall is, it will definitely not be able to withstand the continuous bombardment of cannons, especially since the Japanese people have never played with this thing, so they didn't consider this aspect at all when designing the city. If they can play the fortress, of course it's another story, but the problem is that the Japanese don't have it.

It should be said that the resistance of the Rokkaku coalition is still very tenacious, whether it is Kannonji Castle or Otowa Castle, they have held out for nearly 3 months, and the blood of both sides is about to dry up in Minami Omi. But after three months, both sides were a little unbearable, and without him, there was no food. The military rations accumulated in the past two years have almost been consumed by such a super-large-scale war, and rats can run in various warehouses. It stands to reason that the land of is extremely rich, and this does not usually happen, but there is generally no 150,000 army fighting.

Just when the Rokkaku family came to cry for Ashikaga Molong for the Nth time, Ashikaga Molong finally decided to write a letter to the past, but not to Rokkaku Yoshiken, writing to him is no longer valuable, he is writing to Ashikaga Yoshiteru, the nominal shogun. It is said that Ashikaga Yoshiteru, the shogun, is also very aggrieved, and Miyoshi Nagakei's many years of conquest have turned into a sea of corpses and blood, and the shogun's orders can hardly get out of Nijo Castle. It stands to reason that Ashikaga Yoshiteru should be full of jealousy of Ashikaga Molong, a powerful distant relative, but he has to solve his own problems after all, right? Can't even control, what's the use of Ashikaga Yoshiteru being afraid of Ashikaga Molong? At the behest of Ashikaga Molong, Ashikaga Yoshiki pulled the emperor who was completely furnished to mediate the battle, which was regarded as giving the two sides who could no longer fight a little step. Sanhao Changqing doesn't matter, the purpose of this battle is to make the Hexagonal family lose its combat effectiveness, as long as the Hexagonal family is disabled, Sanhao Changqing will be able to free up his hands to clean up other small forces, and 30,000 people will be dispatched to the land of two million stones, do you really think that the 50,000 troops are all decorations? Just wait for the battle to end here, and continue to fight over there.
