Chapter 987: Sea Landing Plan!
"Suruga, who are these two?" Seeing that Usami Dingman brought in two people who were obviously not retainers of the Nagao family, Nagao Jinghu hurriedly asked.
Usami Dingman hurriedly replied, "My lord, this is the Aizu Kawaharada family, the head of the Kawarada Temple, and the Yamauchi family, the head of the Yamanuchi Temple. ”
"In this joint battle, the two adults abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and when the family raided the main camp of the Ashina family, they restrained the Naganuma situation that supported the main formation, which can be regarded as a favor for the family." Usami said slowly.
And after listening to Usami Dingman's words, a trace of disgust flashed in Nagao Jinghu's eyes, but he still said quietly on his face, "Could it be that Kawaharada Hall and Yamanuchi Hall made an appointment with Suruga in advance?" ”
Usami shook his head, "This is a choice made by the two adults themselves, and I didn't know it beforehand!" ”
Nagao Jinghu nodded, since they are not the two of Usami Dingman's pre-adjustments, then it means that the two of Yamauchi Shuntong are typical wall grass. Seeing that his family was about to win, he immediately abandoned the Ashina family, and also stabbed him in the back, what Nagao Jinghu hated the most was such an unrighteous person!
"Bastard! A shameless person like the two of you also felt that he came to see his family, could it be that he wanted to take credit? ”
"It's good if you secretly invest in your own family in advance, but the result is that you will see that the Ashina Mansion will turn your head to your own family! Today, if you can turn your back on the Ashina family for the sake of your family, he will definitely turn his back on his family because of other people one day, and this behavior is really shameless! ”
"Suruga, expel these two people, don't stain the eyes of the family!" Long-tailed Jinghu said with a look of disgust.
Usami Dingman is a little embarrassed at this time, the person was brought by himself, and instead of making the long-tail Jinghu happy, the result also angered the long-tail Jinghu, what is this special thing called?
And Yamauchi Shuntong and Kawaharada Moritori have already been blinded, and they are sitting on their knees in a daze, completely at a loss!
"What? Do you want to send it to your family in person?" Seeing that Yamauchi Shuntong and the others were still sitting in place, Changwei Jinghu suddenly became angry.
Usami reacted at this time, and hurriedly pulled Yamauchi Shuntong and the two of them out. And Kawaharada and Shenglai also came to their senses, and hurriedly cried and begged their father, "Changwei Palace, in the next place, it is to abandon the darkness and turn to the light!" ”
"Changwei Palace, I have been friends with the Changwei family for more than ten years, and I have been very close to him as early as when I was Jing Gong, and I can't do this to me!" Yamauchi Shuntong directly climbed the friendship.
However, the long-tailed Jinghu turned a blind eye at all, such a villain, it would be troublesome to kill, and the long-tailed Jinghu was unwilling to deal with it at all.
.........
Mutsu Province, Natori River.
Yonezawa Castle was defeated, and the situation on Michinoku's side was not much better.
Because the Tsugawa family had made sufficient preparations in advance, and because of the fact that many people were evacuated, the Tsugawa family had the upper hand at the beginning of the battle. The Kurokawa clan, the Kunita clan, the Osaki clan, and the Kasai clan all sent troops to support the Tsugawa family, and the remaining families on the Date side were the first to be defeated, and the original Iwakiri Castle was lost.
At this time, Date Harumune's troops had just been assembled, and in the face of the aggressiveness of the Tsugawa family, Date Harumune had to avoid its edge, and took the initiative to abandon the north bank of the Natori River and retreat to Kitome Castle on the south bank, hoping to use the Natori River to block the attack of the Tsugawa family.
The morale of the Tsugawa family was like a rainbow, and with the 5,000 troops directly under Tsugawa Soji and the people of the country who participated in the war one after another, the Koizumi clan had gathered more than 15,000 troops in Koizumi Castle, while the Date family on the other side had less than 5,000 troops.
Such a difference in strength made everyone in the Tsugawa family determined to win, but the war did not go as smoothly as imagined.
"My lord, the river crossing has failed again." In Koizumi Castle, the Yoshikawa Hiroshi family, who had failed to cross the river for the third time, said to Tsugawa Soji with a guilty face.
The Natori River is a river that flows eastward from the Ou Mountains to the west into the Pacific Ocean, and is located in the middle of Michinoku, and the Tsugawa family had to cross this river if they wanted to go south.
In order to cross the Natori River, the Tsugawa family improvised hundreds of bamboo rafts and rafts, but three consecutive river crossings were stubbornly blocked by the Date family. Often, the vanguard of the Tsugawa family had just landed ashore and had not yet taken a foothold, and the Date family launched a decisive charge.
Everyone in the Date family knew that once the Tsugawa family crossed the Natori River, the attack of tens of thousands of troops would definitely not be able to stop it. Therefore, every member of the Date family did not retreat when they crossed the river at the Tsugawa family, and even though they were at a disadvantage in numbers, they still blocked the attack of the Tsugawa family with the help of Natorigawa.
Yoshikawa Hiroie's words did not make Soji Tsugawa lose confidence, because Soji Tsugawa was still waiting for a piece of news. This news is not the battle situation of Yonezawa Castle, but another killer feature of Soji Tsugawa.
"Don't be in a hurry, the river crossing can continue, but pay attention to controlling casualties!" Soji Tsugawa said expressionlessly, "Where have the forces of the Osaki family and the Kasai family arrived now?" ”
"We've assembled at Matsushima Castle!"
"Hmm." Tsugawa Soji nodded, and then turned his gaze to Yajima Jiman on the other side, "Tadabei, tell me about the current position of the naval army!" ”
"Lord Motoyama's fleet has arrived at Matsushima Castle three days ago, and Lord Yoshino has also mobilized all the merchant ships in the Ou area to rush to Matsushima Castle, and it is currently able to accommodate 5,000 troops to go to sea smoothly." Yajima replied.
Soji Tsugawa nodded, "Now that everything is ready, then the plan can start to be implemented!" ”
"Order the troops of Matsushima Castle to act immediately!"
"Hah!"
.....
Matsushima Castle is a small castle located on the coast of Matsushima Bay, which belongs to the Osaki family.
After the successive failures of the river crossing plan, Tsugawa Soji began to arrange a second set of plans, that is, to land from the sea, so that part of the troops would land from the sea around the rear of Date Harumune, in a situation of flanking from the front and rear.
The ships of the Tsugawa family could not carry thousands of troops at one time, so Tsugawa Soji asked Yoshino Yoshino to start mobilizing merchant ships from the Ou region to assemble at Matsushima Castle, and after more than ten days of preparation, the conditions for landing were finally met.
The forces in Matsushima Castle consisted mainly of the forces of the Osaki family, the Kasai family, and the Tsukawa family. The general commander of the landing force was Takahashi Koke, the lord of Takasuidaji Castle, and there were also Yukihide Hazu, the lord of Kawaguchi Castle, Nobuyuki Takeda, the lord of Shizukuishi Castle, and Yoshino Yoshino, the lord of Hanamaki Castle, with a total strength of 6,000 men.
On November 25, 19 years of astronomy, the landing force officially embarked on ships and sailed south from Matsushima Castle, and after half a day, they arrived at the south bank of the Natori River and began an orderly landing.
Since the whole plan was carried out in secret, even some of the Tsugawa family's retainers didn't know about it, so the Date family was not prepared for it at all.
When the landing force successfully landed, Tsugawa Soji also got the news in Koizumi Castle and immediately ordered the whole army to cross the river!
At the same time, Date Harune, who was in Kitome Castle, also learned the news that the Tsugawa family had crossed the river again, and immediately summoned his retainers to give an order to stop the Tsugawa family at all costs!
However, what Date Harumune didn't know was that this time, the goddess of victory would be on the side of the Tsugawa family.
