At night, the sea was surprisingly calm, and the Hosokawa army extinguished their torches and cruised on the dark night sea.

"My lord! It should be Awaji Province in front of it. "Murakami Motoyoshi stood behind Hosokawa Nobumoto, and they sailed to Awaji Province at night.

"Do you know where the Awaji Navy is stationed?" Hosokawa Nobumoto shrunk his neck, shivering from the night sea breeze.

"Yes, it's in the harbor under the city of Zhouben." Murakami Motoyoshi has already figured it out.

"Oh? Why is it in Osaka Bay, which is close to Gyeonggi, why not in the Naruto Strait, which is close to Shikoku? Hosokawa Nobumoto thought it was strange that the naval army was stationed there to facilitate passage through the Gyeonggi Kingdom. But now that Gyeonggi is all owned by the Oda family, isn't this exposing himself to the eyes of the enemy?

"Back to the lord, they can't help it. Geographically, though, the Naruto Strait is a better way to cover and hide naval forces. However, whirlpools often occur in the waters of the Naruto Strait, and I think this is due to the influence of the currents, so the whirlpools in the Naruto Strait are called Naruto whirlpools by the locals. As soon as Murakami Motoyoshi explained this, Hosokawa Nobumoto understood that if the Naruto Strait was used as a naval base, it was purely a trap dug for himself.

"Well, go ahead, from tomorrow, the Awaji Water Army will cease to exist." Hosokawa Nobumoto delegated command, the naval forces were commanded by Murakami Motoyoshi, and Sekihara was under the command of Hosokawa Haruyuki for the landing operation.

"Kill!" The base of the Awaji Navy Army shouted that it would kill the heavens, and the Hosokawa Navy successfully attacked at night, taking the enemies who were still asleep one by one, and set fire to the water bar.

"Up! Fast! Capture the city! "Hosokawa Haruyuki led a thousand Seki Hara and rushed to Sumoto Castle not far away.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! "The defenders of the city of Chau Ben saw that the harbor was in flames, and the fool knew that something had happened.

The chaotic defenders on the city wall looked at the port unusually nervously, and the incident happened suddenly, and the defenders in the city were only 150 people.

"Brother! Brother is not good! Kiyoyasu Yasuku hurried to the door of his brother's bedroom.

"What's going on?" Nobuyasu also heard the warning from the city, and pushed open the door while dressing.

"The navy was attacked by the enemy at night, the situation is unknown, look at the number of torches of the enemy, there are quite a few of them, and now they are attacking the city." Kiyoyasu Ataka didn't know much about the battle situation, and the night was a good way to disguise the actions of the attackers.

"Let's go! Take a look at the city walls. Nobuyasu Ataka was apprehensive, and he had already guessed the identity of the attacker.

When he reached the city wall, Anzhai Nobuyasu saw countless torches in the distance, and gasped, there were at least thousands of people.

"Lord, what should I do? Defend the fortified city or...? "Anzhai Qingkang is also in a cold sweat now, and there are only 150 people in the city.

"Hey... Surrender..."Nobuyasu Ataka shook his head helplessly.

"My lord...!" Kiyoyasu Ataka was about to say something, but was interrupted by his brother's wave.

"Needless to say, with only a hundred or so people, it is impossible to defend. Escape? Once this Awaji Island loses its naval army, we will be trapped here and dead, with nowhere to escape. The main family has no naval army, and they can't come to the rescue, so surrender quickly, such a big military operation must be the Hosokawa family. "Originally, this time the Awa Miyoshi family was going to send troops to Kinai, but he raised his hands and feet to oppose it.

They suffered heavy losses in the naval battle of Osaka Bay, and it would be good to be able to take a corner of peace, but now they are still provoking the Hosokawa family, which is simply looking for death.

"My lord, the Anzhai family sent a messenger to beg for surrender." Among the flagships on the sea, Honda Masanobu reported to Hosokawa Nobuyoto, while Sanada Masayuki remained at Jokai Castle as a military advisor.

"Who is the messenger?" Hosokawa Nobumoto sat in the cabin, and he had expected the submission of the Yataku family.

"It's the head of the Anzhai family, and the head of the Anzhai family."

"Oh? It turned out that he came here in person, it seems that he is sincere, let him in. This was unexpectedly by Hosokawa Nobumoto, and he thought it was his brother coming.

After a while, Anzhai Nobuyasu, who was tied up outside the door, walked into the house.

"This is? What did you do? Bastard! Don't hurry up and untie Lord Atakaku! Hosokawa Nobumoto looked at Ataka Nobuyasu's appearance, and his face suddenly became gloomy, in this era, a samurai can be killed and not humiliated.

"Nope! Ukyo-sama.,This is tied up by yourself under the next.,I'm willing to return to the Hosokawa family.,Please take it in! As he spoke, Nobuyasu Antaku knelt there and didn't get up.

Hosokawa Nobumoto understood at a glance that this was a trick of Nobuyasu Ataka playing the trick of bearing the guilt of Jing, or a determination to be loyal.

"Hahaha! Good! With the support of the Awaji Azuku family, why don't my Hosokawa family prosper! Come on, come on, and hope that the Anzhai family can be more loyal to their own family in the future. With that, Hosokawa Nobumoto personally stepped forward and went to untie Nobuyasu Yataku.

"Thank you, Lord! The house is willing to follow the Lord's family for generations, and there is no second heart! "Nobuyasu Ataka kowtowed and officially joined the Hosokawa family.

"Well, Nobuyasu, Awa Miyoshi's house is in the coastal ports of Awa and Sanuki countries, you should be familiar with it, right?" Hosokawa Nobumoto returned to his seat and sat down, and began to do business.

"Yes! His subordinates have been going back and forth between Shikoku and the Kinai countries for many years, and they are quite familiar with the coastal areas of the Awa Miyoshi family. Antaku Nobuyasu said very well with current affairs, and he knew that the following words were the point.

"Good! I announce! The Ataka Navy was merged into the Hosokawa Navy and is still under the command of Ataka Nobuyasu. Appointed Nobuyasu Azaku as the general of the naval army of my Hosokawa family, and the lord of Sumoto Castle..."Hosokawa Nobumoto subdued the Ataka family and ensured the safety of their territory.

"You will be the guide, follow the Nine Ghosts Mototaka, and be responsible for harassing the coastal areas of the Awa Miyoshi family." Hosokawa Nobumoto divided the naval army into two, one to harass Awa and Sanuki Province, and the other to continue to follow him to Kinai.

"Yes! Please rest assured! The subordinates will definitely do their best to assist the Nine Ghosts. "An Otaku Shinyasu is low in the leader's life, and his former colleagues have become enemies, this is the fate of troubled times.

The Hosokawa army rested for a day at Sumoto Castle, and the next night set sail again, disappearing into the sea of Osaka Bay.

"Damn! Fall back! Fall back! Hosokawa Fujitaka commanded an army that was defeated at Ikeda Castle, followed by 5,000 rebels from the Settsu Clan's wealthy clan. Akutagawa Yamajo and Ibaraki Castle had already been captured by the rebels, and the Hosokawa coalition was still in Izumi Province at that time.

When Hosokawa Fujitaka and others led the army to 3,000 and rushed back, only this Ikeda Castle remained, fortunately, the Hosokawa army was a standing professional army, otherwise the loss of his hometown alone would have allowed ordinary soldiers to disperse.

"Hahaha! Pursue! Kill! Take Ikeda Castle and there will be no way for them to escape! "Itami has a ruddy complexion, and if he can take Settsu Province, then he will be the number one contributor to the revitalization of the shogunate. , you are lonely, the young lady warms you with a movie
