After another half a month, the situation became more and more unfavorable for the Oda family, and some wealthy clans in Wakasa Province also began to oppose the Oda family. What's even more infuriating is that Kitada Gutoyo, the second son of the Oda Nobunaga family, the future Oda Nobuo, was so brainbroken that he pointed fingers at Iga Province and asked Iga ninjas to help him free of charge to quell the rebellion in Ise Country.

This can poke the hornet's nest, and Iga Ninja is originally an organization that pays on demand and provides services. This failure of Nobuo Kitada suddenly pushed Iga Ninja to the opposite side.

For this reason, Oda Nobunaga issued a written edict severely reprimanding Nobuo Kitada and Takigawa Kazuki, who was the main general. In addition, he also reprimanded Sakuma Nobumori and ordered him to immediately send troops to reinforce Tokugawa Ieyasu.

During this month, the Takeda army captured the Tokugawa family's Kirai Castle and Iida Castle, and the soldiers encircled Futamata Castle, which was located in the hilly area between the Tenryu River and the Nimata River. Futamatasu Castle is only 20 km away from Tokugawa Ieyasu's home city, Hamamatsu Castle, and if Futamatasu Castle is captured, Hamamatsu Castle will be in danger. Tokugawa Ieyasu had already sent Matsudaira Yasuyasu and Aoki Sadaharu to assist the lord of Futama Castle, Nakane Masasho, in defending Futamata Castle, but the defenders of the castle were only 1,000 men.

"My lord, Osaka Bay intercepted the Awaji Navy of the Awa Miyoshi family again yesterday and stopped its plan to send troops to Kinai." At the daily meeting of Dinghai City, Honda Masanobu will report on the latest developments in the situation like this.

"This Awa Miyoshi family is really uncomfortable, the three of them have been wiped out by us, and they are still trying to counterattack Gyeonggi and dominate Kinai!" Honda Tadakatsu shouted loudly, eager to stab Miyoshi Nagaji, the head of the Awa Miyoshi family, right now.

"They are not here to fight for hegemony, they are here to make trouble and cause trouble for us." Honda Masanobu rubbed his temples, he had been sorting out the information on the table every night lately, and he seemed a little tired.

"Zhengxin, don't work too hard, let Changxing help you more." Hosokawa Nobumoto looked at Honda Masanobu with concern, and the latter thanked him gratefully.

"It's not okay to go on like this, I originally wanted to stick to it. Now it seems that it is not practical at all, and everywhere is very dangerous, and I have no time to take care of myself. Therefore, if you defend for a long time, you will lose, and the best defense is to attack! Hosokawa Nobumoto set the tone for the counteroffensive, and this was the conclusion he had come to after so many days of thinking.

"So where do we use it as a breakthrough?" Honda Masanobu followed this line of thought and led to a heated discussion.

"Go back by water, and go to Saga Castle to relieve the siege first?" Hosokawa Haruyuki proposed a direction, and now that the rebellion in Kii Province was intensifying, the local people had surrounded Saga Castle. Oura Weixin led 500 Zaga Bei and mobilized 500 Zaga people to defend Saga Castle.

"No! There is no point in relieving the siege of Saga Castle, and if we do not completely quell the rebellion of the Kii people, as soon as we walk on the front foot, they will still come back to besiege Saga Castle. Sanada Masayuki shook his head, the rebellion of the Kii people was too wide, and with the fierce enemy of Koyasan Monk's Temple, it could not be eliminated in three or five days.

"What about going out of town to fight back? It's not going to work, it's too costly. Gamo Fuxiu proposed another plan, and then he was denied by himself. Outside the current Dinghai City, there are six cities and 30,000 enemy troops.

The ministers of Hosokawa discussed for a long time and put forward various plans, and then they were denied by others, and there was no rule in the chaos.

After a while, I really didn't come up with any good solutions, so I had to stop one after another and look at Hosokawa Nobumoto on the main seat.

"As I said, the best defense is offense, and you're still going to be around how to solve the situation at hand. So I'll just talk about a few points, and you can discuss whether it's feasible. Hosokawa Nobumoto held a folding fan in his hand and slapped the table a few times, and the ministers were attentively ready to listen to his speech.

"Isn't the Awa Miyoshi family always thinking about crossing Osaka Bay and coming to Gyeonggi to intervene? Then we will simply attack Awaji Province and destroy his Awaji Navy first. Without the trolls, would they still be able to swim over? As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly realized.

Awaji Province is an island country in the Seto Inland Sea on Nankaido, bounded by the Akashi Strait to the north, the Naruto Strait to the southwest, and the Kitam Strait to the east. It is a major point of communication between Kinai, Chugoku, and Shikoku, and there is frequent sea traffic, and the transportation of goods between several islands usually passes through it.

Awaji Province is not only a key route to Settsu Province and Izumi Province, but also a key point of communication in the Seto Inland Sea, and if you control the Awaji Naval Army, you will be able to control the important route from Shikoku to Settsu and even Kyoto.

"There is also the Ishiyama Honganji Temple, although Honganji Temple is located on a stone mountain, it is close to the Kizu River, and our navy's new style of large barrel can still attack Honganji. Didn't he come to besiege his family? Then I will directly bombard Honganji, he has no water army and can only be beaten passively. ”

"Also, we control the entire sea route, so why waste this advantage? We can rely on the convenience of the navy to roam around the country to fight. For example, we can land in Settsu Province and help Fujitaka and them to launch a surprise attack on the Shogunate coalition forces. ”

"We can land at Kitawazumi and attack Tennoji directly, do those vultures of Tennoji dare to sit back and watch their temples be destroyed? There is also Pink River Temple in Kii Province, which is also not far from Osaka Bay. We should adopt the tactic of smashing the dragon's lair and encircling Wei to save Zhao. ”

"It's... My lord, the area of this activity is too wide, and the places of attack are so scattered, which is a great test of the action of the troops. Not only should the timing be accurate, so as not to be surrounded. When fighting, you must also be fast, either kill with one blow or leave with one blow. Honda Masanobu was very worried, after all, there was no precedent for this kind of tactic, and it was also a test of the soldier's physical and mental strength.

"I will personally command this operation, and I will lead the Sekihara Bei, the Mounted Samurai, and the Iron Artillery Brigade, all of whom have experienced a hundred battles and are elite troops who have fought for a long time. This tactic was created by a great man of the Han nation, called sports warfare, which is a tactic created specifically for the situation where the enemy is outnumbered. The knowledge in it is unfathomable, and the specific application can be summarized in one sentence: avoid the enemy's main force, lure the enemy deep, concentrate superior forces, and break through each one. "Hosokawa Nobugen did not dare to take this treasure for himself, this tactic is a classic in any era.

"It's... What a great man! Honda Masashi and they were all stunned, they usually boasted that they were extremely smart, but they didn't expect that on the other side of the sea, there was such a wise and great man, this is simply the level of the grandfather.

"Okay, since there is no disagreement, tonight, let's take advantage of the night!" The Hosokawa family's counteroffensive began. , you are lonely, the young lady warms you with a movie
