Chapter 244: Soldiers Dispatch Kii

Two days later, the Hosokawa Iron Artillery Brigade also returned to Saga Castle. In the past two days, Hosokawa Nobumoto has not been idle, and he has scattered all the things and gone deep into Koyasan to start drawing topographic maps.

"My lord! This is the latest topographic map, but this is only the outer periphery of Koyasan. The terrain of Koyasan is so complex that you don't feel like you're in the mountains, and it may take a long time to get the most comprehensive topographic map. In the Ohiroma of Saga Castle, Honda Masanobu held a piece of silk cloth in both hands, and sketched a large frame map of the terrain with a line pen.

Hosokawa Nobumoto took it and looked at it, frowning, the level of this sketch is comparable to that of an elementary school student. However, it is also because this drawing is a collection of many sketches, and each person's painting style is different, which makes the composite drawings look nondescript.

"It's no wonder that the members of the monomi have not systematically studied painting, and each person's perspective is different, which leads to a lot of twists and turns when Honda-sama is summarizing." Hattori Masaaki said guiltily, this picture is still after Honda Masanobu stayed up all night to optimize it, and the original drawing is simply a ghost drawing. Even when asked where the painting is, many people don't know where they are or what it is.

"This doesn't work at all! Really go to search the mountain according to this drawing, and don't put everyone in it! Hosokawa shook his hand and threw the silk cloth to the ground.

"The Lord is angry! The Lord is angry! All the retainers bowed down one after another, and they were sincerely afraid.

"Big brother! Don't be angry, it's really too embarrassing for them to draw a map in such a short time. Miyoshi Yoshitsugu was detached and sat on the guest seat one step to the left of Hosokawa Nobumoto.

"I'm not angry that they can't draw a map, but angry that they know that the deviation on the map is too big, and they still present it to fool me! They can tell me plainly that they can't draw this topographic map for the time being! Hosokawa Nobugen was so angry that he banged on the floor with a folding fan.

Sanhao Yiji scratched his head, he was very lacking in this way of the emperor, no wonder in history at his critical juncture, "Ruojiang three elders" all betrayed him.

The retainers of Hosokawa below did not dare to come out in an air, and they all obediently listened to the reprimand of the lord. Hosokawa Nobumoto began to educate them that it doesn't matter if things are not done well, the important thing is to find a professional to make up for it before they do it, and it is not too late to make amends.

They are also taught how to judge the position according to the direction of the sun, how to judge the hour by the shadow, how to locate their position first, how to draw in a fan, and how to start drawing in a circle.

"That's... Big brother, what should I do next? Is it to attack Koyasan? Still is? After Hosokawa Nobumoto finished speaking, Yoshitsugu Miyoshi began to ask what to do next.

"Without a map, attacking Koyasan would only make the family fall into it, and they would be very passive. Also, I always feel that something bad is going to happen, so the Koyasan strategy will be temporarily suspended, so let's send out a large number of detailed works and draw a standard topographic map. As for the next step..."Hosokawa Nobumoto touched his mustache and fell into deep thought.

"Arita County and Hidaka County in the Soldier Kii Country, take these two counties first!" Hosokawa Nobumoto decided to attack the Tayama family, after all, the Tayama family, which was originally pro-Oda, was destroyed, and Tayama Takamasa clashed with Miyoshi Yoshitsugu in order to regain the old territory of Hanoi.

There are now seven prefectures in Kii Province, of which the three counties of Nagusa, Kaibe, and Muro belong to the territory of the Hosokawa family, and the two counties of Naga and Ito are in the hands of the monks of Koyasan, and the two counties of Arita and Hidaka are the spheres of influence of the people of the country who support Tayama Takamasa, among which the Yukawa and Yuasa are the main ones.

"Good! Hahaha! Beat him! Tell him to grab food with Lao Tzu! Miyoshi Yoshitsuki was very happy when he heard that his eldest brother was going to be angry for him.

"Then early tomorrow morning, Sekihara Bei, Dinghai Bei, Saga Bei, Iron Artillery Team, Horse Samurai Team, Half of the Naval Army, and Righteous Brother, come out with me! Attack Yuasa Castle in Arita County first! "Hosokawa Nobumoto gave an order, and Yuasa Castle, which was attacked, was also a port city near the sea.

"Yes!" The generals agreed in unison.

Early the next morning, Hosokawa Nobumoto led 10,000 people and surrounded Yuasa Castle by land and water.

"Siege!" Hosokawa Nobumoto waved his hand, not giving the city any respite.

"Oh!" The Hosokawa army shouted in unison and rushed towards the tiny Yuasa Castle.

"Shoot! Shoot! Zhezhi Qingguang gave an order, and three thousand iron cannons burst out with sparks, and a large amount of smoke rose up, instantly enveloping the entire sky.

"Put!" Boom! Boom!

Murakami Motoyoshi led half of the naval army and also used a large barrel to bombard Yuasa Castle on the sea, while the Kuki Mototaka also carried out harassment operations in the coastal area of Awa Miyoshi's house.

Smack! Boom! Yuasa Castle was only a small city, and the walls were no more than two meters high, and the defenders of the castle were in chaos when they were subjected to such sharp artillery fire.

"Ahh Yes! Run! The gods are angry! A peasant soldier was so frightened that his partner next to him didn't know when, his head was opened, and his brain collapsed.

"Bastard! That's an iron cannon! Get back! Get back to your place! The lord of the castle, Yuasa Somasa, grabbed the fleeing peasant soldier and kicked him back under the wall.

"Archery! Archery! Fast! Yuasa Somasa then commanded Bow Ashigaru to go behind the screen wall and shoot arrows outward with a shot hole.

Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! Another series of iron cannons.

Burst! Burst! "Ahh "Ugh!"

A large number of projectiles were shot into the city along the perforation, many of them could not dodge, and more than a dozen people were shot in the head and shoulder, and no one dared to come forward again, and they were completely suppressed by the iron cannons outside the city.

"Saga Bei! It's time to show your prowess! Give me Yuasa Castle in one go! Offensive! Oura led the reserve and rushed forward as the first formation.

"Oh!" Although Saga Bei has been in the army for a short time, the "Hosokawa Military Law" has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the battle is also extremely brave and unflinching.

"Blasting a group! Sortie! "Tsuda took the opportunity to mix the demolition team in the middle of Saga Bei, and no longer ran over and was shot by himself as stupidly as before.

"Resist the gates! Prevent the enemy from counterattacking! Cover the blasting work of the demolition team! "Oura deliberately assigned a small team to cover the advance of the demolition team.

Because it was a sudden attack, there were only more than 400 defenders in the city, and as long as the city gate was blown open, victory was basically in sight.

"Retreat! Retreat! "The members of the demolition team shouted at the allies to evacuate the city gates, and they had already lit the core.

Whew... Bang! Click! With a loud bang, sawdust flew, and the entire gate of Yuasa Castle was blown out, and the defenders in the city were already stunned, which was like a heavenly punishment.

"Saga Bei! Storm into the city! Kill! "Oura howled for Shin, the first to rush into Yuasa Castle..., you are lonely, the young lady warms you with a movie
