What is the secret weapon that Soharu Tsugawa is talking about?

Confidentiality for the time being......

.......

The next morning, with a loud shout, rows of ashigaru were already standing on the banks of the Yodogawa River.

"What a big ship!"

"Yes! I have never seen such a huge ship in my life! ”

"Nonsense, Koichiro, you've been staying in Hanamaki Township, and you haven't even been out of the barnyard gun, when have you ever seen a boat?"

"Two years ago, when Beishangchuan began to dredge the river, I went to work as a people's husband, why didn't I see a boat?"

“.......”

With one foot of Tadanobu Motoyama leaving Tsugawa Maru and stepping onto land on the banks of the river, the long-awaited cannon of Soharu Tsugawa finally arrived.

"Lord Takahashi, you may have to work hard to transport the artillery to the front battlefield yourself!" Tadanobu Motoyama was in charge of directing the ship's sailors to dismantle the guns on ships such as the Tsugawa Maru and Togo Maru, and then said to Koya Takahashi, who was standing beside him with an eager look on his face.

Takahashi Xingjia looked at the artillery that was constantly being moved down in front of him with bright eyes, and nodded yes, "What did Lord Motoyama say, in order to support us and others in the siege of the city, it was really hard for Lord Motoyama to drive the sea ship here!" ”

"It's all about serving the lord, and that's what I should do!"

"What Lord Benshan said is extremely true, but there is another request below, and I hope Lord Benshan will agree!" Takahashi Xingjia licked his face and continued.

Tadanobu Motoyama nodded, motioning for Takahashi to continue.

"The power of this artillery has naturally been seen in the future, but no one in the family's army has ever used artillery except for the naval army! So next, I'm afraid I will have to bother Lord Benshan to send a few more people to be responsible for firing the cannon! ”

"Well, it's nature!" Motoyama Tadanobu nodded, then turned his head to a tall man behind him who was wearing a red shirt and had a strange pattern printed on the feather weave on his body, and said, "Cristiano, bring your people, this batch of artillery is under your command for the time being!" ”

Cristiano was a tall, handsome man (compared to the short RB Man) with bright brown hair that was unusually eye-catching. And it's not hard to tell from its quirky name that Cristiano is not RB.

Yes, Cristiano is a Portuguese "explorer". He once followed Sardillo's fleet to Dewa, but because he didn't know the law of the Tsugawa family, he made trouble in the castle town, and even insulted several "geisha". In the end, he was ordered to be detained by Tsugawa Soji and demanded that he pay huge "losses".

As a result of Shadillo's intercession, Soharu Tsugawa exonerated Cristiano. But Cristiano is also a real person, expressing his willingness to work for the Tsugawa family to "wash away" the guilt. In the end, he was sent by Tsugawa Soji to the naval army, and is currently the general of Togo Maru. And his original "subordinates" also worked together in the Tsugawa family's water army, anyway, it was all for money, who did he work for?

The captains of the Tsugawa family's naval forces were generally shoguns, and Cristiano was the only one who held the position of shogun.

"Takahashi-sama, please give me a lot of advice!" After playing for the Tsugawa family for so many years, Cristiano doesn't speak Japanese fluently, but daily communication is no problem.

Looking at the unusually tall Cristiano beside him, Takahashi Xingjia had to raise his head and say, "I have heard the order of Lord Cristiano for a long time, and today's battle will be please!" ”

"Hah!"

......

Outside Ibaraki Castle, Tsugawa Soji, who had already anticipated the outbreak of a major battle next, had also moved his camp to a hill outside Ibaraki Castle.

"Lord, this shrine has been emptied, although it is a little simple, but because of the excellent location and wide vision, it can only be temporarily wronged by the lord!" Takigawa Kazuyi, who was in charge of defending the main formation, carried a musket at this time and welcomed Tsugawa Soji in.

After Tsugawa Soji sat down, he saw the musket in Takigawa Kazuki's hand and said with a smile, "Hikoemon is this going to work for Osumi (Gamo Hisakiyo)?" ”

Hearing Soji Tsukawa's quip, Takigawa Kazuyi said with a smile on his face, "Ever since I learned to use a musket, I've fallen in love with this thing!" This musket was given by Osumi Kaiden, and it has always been carried with you in the next, so if the lord doesn't like it, then put it aside! With that, Takigawa Kazuyi put the musket in his hand aside.

"Hikoemon Hall still needs to distinguish the occasion, this is the main battle, how can the weapon be held in the hand?" Yajima Jiman, who was standing behind Tsugawa Soji, reminded him at this time.

Takigawa Kazuki suddenly woke up and quickly knelt on the ground to ask Tsugawa Soji for his guilt.

Soji Tsugawa waved his hand, "There is no need to mention this matter again!" ”

"What's the situation at Miyoshi's house, where is Miyoshi Changqing now?"

"According to the information from the detective of the main family, half an hour ago, Miyoshi Nagakei had already arrived at Takatsuki Castle!" Takatsuki Castle, also known as Irie Castle, is located not far north of Ibaraki Castle and is a branch of Akutagawayama Castle.

After Miyoshi Chokei captured Akutagawa Mountain Castle, he used Akutagawa Mountain Castle as his residence, and his power began to spread to the Kinai area centered on Akutagawa Mountain Castle. In other words, the area where Ibaraki Castle, Takatsuki Castle, and Akutagawayama Castle are located is equivalent to the "base camp" of Miyoshi Nagakei in the Kinai region.

"In this way, the front line of Miyoshi Changqing may even have arrived!" Soji Tsugawa lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and continued to ask, "What about Tadanobu Motoyama?" ”

"Lord Motoyama has already landed on the bank of the river with a high water level near Miyake Castle, and Lord Takahashi has already gone to answer it, and it won't be long before the artillery arrives on the battlefield!" Sanada Yutaka replied from the side.

Soji Tsugawa nodded, "Very good, in this way, this decisive battle will only wait for Miyoshi Changqing to come in person!" ”

"Tell him to go down, and if the enemy is going to enter the city, let him in! If an enemy is cruising outside the city, just keep an eye on their movements! All troops are on standby, and no one should act rashly without an order! ”

"Hah!"

......

At the same time, north of Ibaraki Castle, on the main road from Takatsuki Castle to Ibaraki Castle, the army of the Miyoshi family was also marching rapidly.

"Since yesterday, the Tsugawa family's offensive has slowed down, and Ibaraki Castle is not a threat at the moment! In addition, there is news from Sakai that several Tsugawa warships have passed through Yodogawa and have gone north, but I don't know what conspiracy Tsugawa Soji has this time! ”

"Humph! The Tsukawa family's warship is powerful, but can it still be driven to land? Compared to these, I am more worried about the Tsugawa family's navy cutting off the Kii waterway and Settsu Bay! In this way, the family will lose contact with the Shikoku region! ”

"Not only that, but the merchants of Sakai will probably suffer heavy casualties as well! Once the sea is blocked by the Tsugawa family, I'm afraid that the merchants in the family will be dissatisfied! ”

On the way to the march, Miyoshi Changqing was also surrounded by a group of retainers of the Miyoshi family.

Hearing all kinds of information coming from his ears, Miyoshi Changqing rode on the horse and was unusually calm, "What are you panicking about!" As long as this battle is won, won't all these problems be solved! ”

Forehead.......

Although it was very unexpected, Matsunaga Shu and others had to say that it seemed to be the case.....
