Chapter 189: The Calm Before the Storm (Fourth Watch)
Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!
Whoosh!
The iron cannons, bows and arrows at the Haelao River were fired together, indicating the beginning of the general attack.
Matsunaga Shu is also a ruthless character, and on the day he returned to Yamato Province, he captured Kataoka Castle, and Kataoka Haruyuki fled to Daruma Temple. After that, he returned to Tennoji Temple without stopping, and took the Hosokawa Navy to attack the Ebime River in Settsu.
"Kill!"
Tsuchihashi Morishige led a thousand Saga people to rush to the front, and the Awa Miyoshi army guarding here had already been blinded by the iron cannons. The roar of the iron cannon never stopped in their ears, and there were people around them who were shot and fell to the ground, and even if they lay on the ground, they would be pierced by the bow and arrow.
Hosokawa Nobumoto also participated in the landing battle, with Suzuki Motoshige's 500 iron artillery team, Tsuda Masa's 1,000 iron artillery team retained, and the remaining 1,500 iron guns divided among Oda Nobunaga. With the addition of 500 iron cannons of his own naval army, he has the scale of 2,000 iron cannons.
"I didn't expect Hosokawa Nobumoto to take the initiative to take the lead attack? I thought I'd make us cannon fodder. "Yoshitsugu Miyoshi and Matsunaga Shu were still on the ship at this time, watching Hosokawa Nobumoto command the army to storm the Ebigawa River.
"He said that it was because my army was tired from long distances and it was not easy to fight continuously, so he bore the brunt of it, do you believe it?" Matsunaga said slightly teasingly.
"You think I'm stupid, of course I don't believe it. But I still can't figure out why he did this. "Miyoshi Yoshitsugu and Matsunaga Shu are not big or small together, of course, it is also because Matsunaga Hide's first relationship with him is neither big nor small, and he was still the lord of Matsunaga Show at that time.
"Because of Ishiyama Honganji!"
"Huh? Ishiyama Honganji? What's wrong? Any questions? "Yoshitsugu Miyoshi thinks the same as everyone else, and he didn't think that Ishiyama Honganji was the biggest threat at all.
"Forget it, don't talk about it, just watch." Matsunaga didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, he already knew that Ishiyama Honganji would suddenly become an enemy of the Oda family, which was what the fruit heart monk told him.
It's just that to his surprise, Hosokawa Nobumoto seems to be aware of it, and he is even more reluctant to stay in Tennoji Temple, knowing that it is the safest base camp on the surface.
"Bah! Creak! Oh! ”
The sound of victory came from the Hailao River, and because it was a sudden attack from the sea, and the defense here was not yet perfect, it was easily taken.
"Okay, the next task has been completed, and you have been successfully sent to the Ebikawa, and the rest should be done by you." Hosokawa Nobumoto patted the soot on his body, and the smell of gunpowder smoke from the dense artillery fire was full.
"Then thank you, Lord Ukyo, I'll leave it to us here, and you can go back to Tennoji Temple." Matsunaga said with a grin, which made Hosokawa Nobumoto furious.
"Well, I'll leave first, and I wish the two of you good luck." With that, Hosokawa Nobumoto left here and boarded his flagship.
*************
"My lord, I've arrived, will I take you ashore?" The general of the navy, Murakami Motoyoshi, asked respectfully, and the ship had returned to the Kizu River next to the Tennoji Temple.
"No, I'll just stay here and set up my horse seal banner at Tennoji Temple." Hosokawa Nobumoto thought about it was better to take marine insurance, and he deliberately erected his horse seal on the Tennoji Temple.
"My lord, my subordinates really don't understand why they are doing this?" Oura is also puzzled, now Tennoji Temple is the safest place, not only does the lord not go, but he also leaves Tsuchihashi Morishige and Suginobo there, and there will hardly be any more battles there.
"If you don't understand, think about it yourself, I have to teach everything, when will I be able to take charge of myself!" Hosokawa Nobugen didn't know how to explain to him, and he couldn't say that he could predict the future, so he had to spur Oura to the letter.
"Yes! Thank you for the teachings of the lord, my subordinates understand. Oura was a little excited for the letter, as if he had just heard from the lord that he would let him be alone in the future.
*************
"Drink! Hahaha! T damn it, I finally don't have to be cannon fodder anymore. "Tsuchihashi Morishige and Suginobo are still drinking and chatting together, and now Tsuchihashi Morishige has also changed back to his original Shingon sect beliefs.
Bang bang bang! The sound of artillery fire could be heard in the distance.
"How many days has it been? Is this gunfire still so dense? Suginobo had a glass of sake with his neck raised, and they had been here for four or five days, and the iron cannons of the attacking and defending sides of Noda and Fukushima were shooting at each other day and night.
"Listen... Said a while ago... Bo Sanhao's family suffers... No, send an envoy to beg for peace... The war of harmony was warned, but it was bombed by Oda... Zheng Daren refused, insisting on all of them... Wipe it out. Tsuchihashi was slightly drunk, and his tongue was a little curled.
"Hehe, that's right, now the advantage of the Oda family is too obvious, there are 3,000 iron cannons alone, and the Awa Miyoshi army can't raise its head." Suginobo is not shallow in terms of alcohol, and at a glance, you can tell that there is no shortage of alcohol on weekdays.
"That's... That is, don't look at who they are... The iron cannon? If only he's... 1,800 iron cannons, can have this... Momentum? Tsuchihashi Mamoshige toasted three more times in a row, his head shaking like a rattle.
"But the poor monk still couldn't understand, how good it is here, why Hosokawa Ukyo-sama has been refusing to stay here?" Sugi Nobubo began to be a little suspicious, Tennoji Temple was stationed here with the three thousand hired Sakaga and Nerai people, but Hosokawa Nobumoto was stationed on a shoal in the suburbs with 1,500 iron cannons that had already served him.
"Tube... Whatever... Drink... Drink...", and Tsuchihashi Mamoshige fell to the ground drunk.
*************
"Ahh Hosokawa Nobumoto rubbed his nose, he was standing on the beach at this time, listening to the sound of the sea at night, and behind him was the naval camp.
"Lord, it's cold, please go back and rest." Oura served by Shin, who had been stationed here three days earlier.
"Okay, give me another order, and continue to strengthen the vigilance at night." Hosokawa Nobumoto tightened his shirt and walked towards the camp.
Because he was not suitable for long-term life at sea, he began to suffer from seasickness and vomiting, and after repeated persuasion from his subordinates, he had to reluctantly go ashore and camp, but the location he chose was far away from the naval camp at Honganji.
This is the estuary of the Kizu River, located 1 km behind the Tennoji Temple, which is the Ishiyama Honganji Temple.
Bang bang bang!
Suddenly, there was a burst of iron cannon sound on the Yodo River, followed by a shout of killing the heavens.
"Hey... It started again, but it doesn't matter what we do, they beat theirs, and we drink ours. Suginobo looked out the window, occasionally seeing a flash or two in the dark night.
"Whew... Phew..."Tsuchihashi Mamoshige was already snoring.
"Kill!"
"Huh?" Sugi nobo still felt that the shouting of killing seemed to be getting closer and closer, getting closer and closer...
