On August 16, just as the weather was entering the heat, Yasuei Shimizu led the Izu Navy to lure the Okamoto Navy into the prepared encirclement step by step. And Okamoto Yasutai and others thought that the Hojo Army was afraid of them, so they quickly marched. Only when Okamoto Yasutai led his army into Kaneda Bay, Yasuei Shimizu immediately fired an iron cannon from his flagship into the sky.

After the gunshots rang out, ships of all sizes from all directions of the Izu Navy Army rushed one after another, and instantly surrounded the Okamoto Navy Corps who were huddled together. Okamoto Yasutai and the others found that they had entered the encirclement of the Hojo military ambush first, but they didn't want to break through yet, they knew the contrast between the strength of the enemy and us, as long as the Izu naval army would be completely annihilated here after the broadside battle.

However, what Okamoto Yasutai, Anzai Katsuhiro, Okamoto Yorimoto and others did not expect was that the Izu Navy did not take the initiative to start a broadside battle like the previous tactics. On the contrary, the sailors of the Izu Navy were shaking some small ceramic jars, which made them completely unaware of what kind of medicine was sold in the Hojo Army's gourd.

Soon, just after Yasuei Shimizu fired again, all the Izu Navy ships accelerated towards the Okamoto Navy Army, and the Izu Navy Army's Kozao was already close to the Thousand Stone Ships on the periphery of the Okamoto Navy Army!

"Boon ——————" As the sailors of the Izu Navy threw the small ceramic jars in their hands, the ships of the Okamoto Navy were hit by these small ceramic jars. And that's not all, explosions and fires followed!

Although the damage of the baked jade is not high, the panic and fire caused by it are enough to terrify the Okamoto sailors who have never seen such a weapon before. The loud explosion and the fire on the deck were clearly visible to Okamoto on the only Ataku ship of the Okamoto Navy.

"My lord, the sailors are already panicking, saying that the Hojo Army has the help of the gods! This must be the anger of the family! "Katsuhiro Anzai just repeated the words of the sailors, but he himself still didn't believe that the Izu Navy, which had always been inferior to Okamoto's naval army, could instantly use the power of the gods, which was completely a rumor!

"Breakout!" Okamoto Yasutai decisively ordered a breakout, he found that if he continued to entangle with the Izu naval army here, he would be satisfied with Shimizu Yasuei, and now the Satomi family needed to save a 'presence fleet' to deter the Hojo family.

"Yes!" The samurai on the side directly ordered the sailors on the mast to wave flags and beat drums.

Although the Okamoto Navy is good at fighting, it may not be able to wake up from the chaos in an instant, and Okamoto Yasutai can only lead an Ataka ship and ten Thousand Stone Ships that have not yet participated in the battle to tear a hole in the encirclement of the Izu Navy first. However, the rest of the Okamoto navy like Anzai Katsusada, Anzai Minoto, and Okamoto Yorimoto were all caught in a bitter battle and were completely suppressed by the Izu navy. Many sailors were blown up by the baked jade, and they couldn't fight back at all.

With the breakthrough of the main general, all units of Okamoto's naval army began to prepare for a breakthrough. However, Shimizu Yasuei obviously knew that if he fought to the death with the Okamoto navy, he would also suffer heavy losses, and when the time came, Hojo clan Yasui would form his own navy army and would not continue to use them.

The battle lasted until noon, and the Okamoto navy finally managed to break through after losing ten thousand stone ships, sixteen small boats, and five customs ships. However, the Izu Navy here won the victory with a very small loss of five Kozao and three Sengoku ships. The ships lost by the Izu Navy were also caught on fire by ramming into the burning Okamoto Navy ships because they advanced too fast.

After Okamoto Yasutai and others led the remnants to flee back to Okamoto Castle, they packed up the things in the city and directly prepared to abandon the city at any time and retreat to Mifune Mountain in Kamito.

The mission of the Izu Navy did not end there, and they immediately followed by transporting the various units of the Hojo Army, which had been waiting for a long time in Misaki Castle, Arai Castle, Wada Castle, and Uraga Castle, to Anbo Province, but the primary target of Hojo Shiyasu was not other castles but Suzakikan. As a castle along the coast of Anbo Province, although its value is not as high as that of Okamoto Castle, Hojo Shiyasu wants to force Okamoto's naval army to flee to Kamiso after capturing Suzakikan, and then he can attack the castles all over Anbo Province at will.

In addition, Satomi Yoshiyori was secretly rebelled by the Hojo family, as long as he became a member of the Hojo family after the war, then he could be made the governor of the Satomi family, and then the family members and retainers of the family were deployed on the Boso Peninsula. In this way, if you want to betray the alliance, you have to weigh your own strength first.

The vanguard general of the Hojo Army was Hojo Shigeru. He led Huang Bei's 1,200 troops and his headquarters' 3,500 troops from the Izu Navy into Tateyama Bay at the fastest speed, and then captured the Suzakikan Pavilion, which was only garrisoned by 200 troops, and the defender Masaki Awaji was killed in battle. Later, after leaving his retainers (Jade Rope) in the Jimbo Palace and his 100 troops and guarding over more than 100 prisoners, the Hojo clan took the Huang Bei army as the head and captured the Buryokan in the evening, and won the defender Yin Dongboichi. The 100 troops of the Hojo clan were left behind by his retainer Tanaka, and he was ready to continue the march.

The Hojo clan couldn't stop, and ordered his troops to surround Tateyama Castle at night after a short meal.

The defender Tojo Katsushige had only 600 troops, and it only lasted half an hour before the Hojo army attacked the castle. Seeing that the defeat was irreparable, Tojo Katsushige ordered his samurai to break out and go to Kururi Castle to report the news, but he committed suicide by cutting his abdomen in Honmaru.

The Hojo clan then stationed his 4,400 troops in Tateyama Castle and informed Yamamoto Ieji that he would send a clipper to inform Yasuei Shimizu so that the Hojo army could land as soon as possible.

The next day, when the Hojo clan captured the important towns of Anbo Prefecture, Tateyama Castle, Suzaki Pavilion, and Buryokan in one day, Satomi Yoshiyao was shocked. What followed was the response of Toki, who had long been rebelled by the Hojo family. Although the other wealthy clans were waiting and watching, and they also received assurances that the Hojo army would not attack them for the time being, they also had to worry that the Uesugi family, who had only taken most of the lower country, would go south, so some of the wealthy clans did not dare to raise troops at will.

And Toki is the governor of the Toki family, of course, he can't be buried with the Satomi family, and he is still the fierce general of the Satomi family, if he reverses, then the destruction of the Satomi family will be faster. Of course, the condition that the Hojo family gave to Toki was that after the war, the 8,000 stones of Okita Castle would be owned by Toki, and the original 18,500 koku of the original 18,500 koku would be added to the 8,000 stones of Okita Castle. As soon as Toki heard that this condition was indeed acceptable, coupled with the fact that the Satomi family was blocked from going north, even if he made a meritorious service, he would not get much reward, so it was better to take refuge in the Hojo family, so that he could give the Wanxi Toki family an extra 8,000 stone of territory.

Just after Toki raised troops for Yori, Satomi Yoshiyao's crusading army of 7,000 troops also instantly captured the Izukan belonging to the Manki Toki family, and then surrounded Manki Castle, the residence of Toki Rai, in half a day. There were only 2,000 troops in Manki Castle, and Toki did not expect that Satomi Yoshiyao would prioritize defeating him instead of going south to regain the old territory of the Satomi family.

In fact, if Satomi Yoshiyao doesn't crusade against this wealthy family who first responded to the Hojo family, then the second, third, fourth, and so on will appear one after another, and then they will be attacked on their backs! Of course, the task of going south was entrusted to Satomi Yoshihiro, who was guarding Sakan Castle, and he led 3,000 troops to Katsuyama Castle, while Okamoto Castle and Miyamoto Castle had no danger to defend and had to abandon them. Satomi Yoshihiro's task was to slow down the speed of the Hojo Army, and he was no match for the Hojo clan with the only 3,000 troops at hand, even if the opponent's Yellow Reserve Army had only been formed recently.

Just when Satomi Yoshiyao sent troops to Manki, the lord of Katsuura Castle, Masaki Tokitaka, also betrayed the Satomi family. What followed was that a large number of wealthy clans betrayed the Satomi family within half a month, and even Satomi Yoshiyori, who was guarding the town of Anbo Province Mountain, also betrayed the Satomi family.

But as the elder brother of Masaki Shizhong, Masaki Shigeru is the pen head of the Satomi family, and he did not fall into the ground, but is still loyal to the Satomi family as before. He immediately gathered his troops and defeated the Takeda family in the south of the hall, and also rebelled against the retainers of the Takeda family in the south of the house, Nobuyoshi Taga and Sashi Kunishin. Kiyonobu Takeda, who was the head of the Takeda family in the south of the hall, was also killed in the south of the city.

Satomi Yoshiyao could only send an envoy Ichikawa Gentosai to Edo Castle by water again, and then rush to Kawagoe Castle to ask for reinforcements from the Uesugi family.

Although the Satomi family is already in a precarious situation, the main force of the Satomi family does not have any losses. Although the Okamoto Navy suffered some heavy losses, as a presence fleet, the Izu Navy did not dare to openly assist the Hojo Army in attacking the city along the coast.

By the time Ichikawa Gentosai arrived at Kawagoe Castle, it was already August 20. At this moment, the Uesugi family has completed the replenishment of the original Shangshu soldiers, and the 5,000 troops are ready to go into battle at any time, and the Wushu soldiers have not begun to replenish due to the heavy losses in the last battle, but only the standing army of Ota Shimasa, Namba Tian Kenji and others has begun to replenish.

As soon as Ichikawa Gentosai arrived at Kawagoe Castle, he was arranged to be in the Ohiroma, and this time the court summoned all Musashi's retainers to Kawagoe Castle, and as soon as Ichikawa Gentosai returned, he held a military council.

"Chao Dinggong! The Hojo clan has already gone out to Anfang country, the Continent Pavilion, the Kanyama Castle, and the Furyokan have been captured, and the Yoshiyoden of the Mountain Castle, the Toki Ryori of Manki Castle, the Sakai Toshibo of the East Golden Castle, the Sakai Osashi of the Tsuchiki Castle, the Mitani Yinliang of Sakata Castle, the Ida Clan of Odai Castle, and the Yamamuro Katsunobu of the Rice Cabinet City have raised troops, and the family is already in great danger at the moment! "Although Ichikawa Gentosai is also an old face, this does not mean that the court will agree to send troops to help immediately.

"Lord Ichikawa, it takes time for the family to gather troops and materials, and although the family has a standing army, it still needs to guard against the Hojo Phantom Temple." Ota's meaning is very simple, don't worry, we will go when we should go, it's just a matter of time.

"Yes, the lord has also been busy with official business lately (accompanying various ladies, Katsuko, and Kyoko), so Ichikawa-sama will stay temporarily, and the family will arrange a mansion in the castle town of Kawagoe Castle." Jieshan Yunsheng also sang and harmonized with Ota Zizheng, in short, Chaoding told a few of them before he came in, so that they should sing red face, and white face.

"This ······ The situation is extremely urgent, the Hojo Army has defeated the Okamoto Navy of the Honkin family in the Uraga Waterway, and Lord Okamoto Yasutai and others have led the remnants of the Okamoto Navy Army to retreat to the Castle of the Sea of the Upper Sokuni, if the Hojo Army quickly lands tens of thousands of troops, the family will die! After Ichikawa Gentosai finished speaking, he kept kowtowing to Chaoding, which made everyone present unexpected. As a samurai, if you really do such an act, unless the situation is urgent and life and death are at stake.

"Lord Ichikawa, this family will help the Satomi family, first of all, the Uesugi army will defeat Sakai Toshibo of Higashijin Castle in the Uekoku country, Sakai Osamu of Toki Castle, Mitani Yinra of Sakata Castle, Ida Clan Yin of Odai Castle, and Yamamuro Katsunobu of Iateki Castle, and if time permits, they can make peace with the Satomi army." The court is saying the same thing as the Teutonic Knights in the Middle Ages, you can help, but the territory you have laid is all mine.

"Thank you Chao Dinggong!" Ichikawa Gentosai didn't come in vain this time, as long as Asadachi agreed to send troops to help, his task was completed.

"Duan Zang, tell me how much of the current Hojo Army is sent to the Peninsula." Asadachi wanted to tell Ichikawa Gentosai and let him know the number of the Hojo Army.

"Yes! At present, there are 12,000 Hojo troops who have not yet landed, and there are 10,000 Hojo troops who have landed in Anbo Province and Hojo clans. Without hesitation, Kato Duanzo said the numbers.

"That's it, let him decide for himself whether Ichikawa-sama will go or stay, the family is going to start holding a military meeting now, please Ichikawa-sama avoid it." Asadachi was very aware of the contrast between the strength of the enemy and us, and as long as the Hojo army defeated the Satomi family, then the mobilized strength of the Hojo family could reach between 35,000 and 36,000.

"The foreign minister retired..." Ichikawa Gentosai saw that the court was going to hold a military meeting, so he needed to hurry to Satomi Yoshiyao to restore his life.

After the retainers of the Asadai and Uesugi families watched Ichikawa Gentosai slowly walk out of the Ohiroma, Saito Michizo, who had been eating idle meals, touched his chin first, and then had a plan.

"Son-in-law, although Hojo Shiyasu has mobilized a lot of troops, he is not desperate. As long as the Hojo Army was routed by thousands, then the rest of the Hojo Army would be ordered to withdraw to Sagami. \" Michizo Saito laughed when he finished speaking.

"The Third Hall of the Road, you must have seen the battle of Isanuma in this family, and the five-color combat readiness of the Hojo Army is not low. The strength of the family is almost equal to the number of the Hojo army, and it does not take advantage of anything. Although Ota Shimasa killed Hojo Tsusunari with an iron cannon, the standing army under his command was either killed or wounded, and he himself was a little frightened in retrospect.

"Yes, the number of mobilizations of the Hojo Army should not be underestimated. I was defending Namba Castle for the whole time, and I couldn't get out of the castle at all, and even then I lost thousands of people. Although Kenji Namba Tian recruited a group of lords who were willing to fight for the Uesugi family, they were completely unable to compete in numbers, and only a thousand people left Namba Tian Castle after the defense of the castle.

"The Ise clan was originally a retainer of the Imagawa family, and Ise Sakumo was deeply favored by the Imagawa family, and after stealing Izu and Sagami, he became hostile to the Imagawa family." Asahina Shinji really thinks that the phrase 'thirty years of Hedong and thirty years of Hexi' is still very appropriate for the Imagawa family.

"Yes, this kind of unknown person still uses the Miao character of 'Hojo' without authorization!" When he knew that the Hojo family's Miao characters were stolen, he really felt how brazen this clan was.

"That's enough, the family still thinks about how to help the Satomi family extinguish the fire." Chao Ding felt like he was about to become a firefighter.

"Yes."
