Chapter 813: Switching Offense and Defense (3)
After capturing Tsugamuti Castle, Daijutsuru did not immediately send troops to attack other places, but sent people to Satsuma to inform the Shimazu family of this matter, and at the same time sent people to Sanuki to pick up people. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Naturally, it was Shigeharu Takenaka and others, in order to be fast, but also just in case, so Dazhu Tsuru did not bring any army troops, and now, with Tsuchimu Rei Castle as a stronghold, coupled with the surrender of the Bungo Naval Army, the counterattack of the Maori Naval Army, basically you don't have to worry.
However, Ozuru did not intend to continue to wait at Tsuchimu Rei Castle, but handed over the task of defending the castle to Saeki Yukai, and at the same time let him deal with the aftermath of the Saeki family on his own. He led others to continue to go to sea and began to attack the naval forces of Zhoufang, Nagato and other countries.
On the other hand, while the Maori army began to withdraw to Aki Province, Oda Shinna finally led his army to capture Kanekoyama Castle.
"Lord Kaneko, you have such ability, why don't you serve your family and gain more territory and honor?" Oda Shinna was not angry that Kaneko Motoya had made her attack Kanekoyama Castle difficult for a long time, but admired this 21-year-old samurai very much.
"I am willing to serve the Lord!" Kaneko Mototaku only hesitated for a moment before agreeing to Oda Shinna's solicitation. The reason why the Maori family surrendered in the first place was only because the Maori family was too powerful, and they couldn't surrender if they didn't want to. In fact, the Kaneko Motoyaku, or the fact that the Kaneko family and the Kono family are rivals, said that the Kaneko family was already at war with the Kono family as early as the time when the Hosokawa family dominated.
The reason why he has always held on to Kanekoyama Castle is just a kind of insistence of Kaneko Motoya as a samurai. Perhaps, the reason why Jin Ziyuan Mansion is willing to stay behind the palace is also because of the heart of surrender, right? After all, compared to the Mori family, who has always supported the Kono family and their enemies, the Oda family has no grudges against the Kaneko family except for this battle.
In fact, the two Shishido Takashi family did not fail to see the idea of the Kaneko Yuan House, but they were in a hurry to retreat, and once a conflict broke out with the Kaneko Yuan House, no one might be able to leave at that time.
After accepting the surrender of Kanekomotota, Oda Shinna quickly reorganized his army and continued to march towards Yuzuki Castle, while sending people to Sanuki to ask Shigeharu Takenaka to send a navy to intercept him. Although she also knew that it would be difficult to stop the Maori army from retreating, it would be good if it could only be held back for a while.
On the other hand, when Kodama led the army to leave for a full day, the head relatives of Changzong and my department, who had thoroughly investigated the situation, came to his senses.
"Bastard! I can't imagine being tricked by those bastards! "Changzong and my Yuan Qin scolded angrily.
"Elder brother, now is not the time to be angry, you must pursue immediately, otherwise you will be blamed by His Royal Highness Shura when the time comes......" Seeing this, Xiangzong and my pro-Tai hurriedly persuaded.
Hearing this, the head of the Changzong clan suddenly shuddered, although he had not had much contact with Oda Yoshinobu, but in just a few times, he could already feel the horror of this man. And most importantly, he knew that under the command of Oda Yoshinobu, there were few retainers who could own a country, and if Oda Yoshinobu reduced the territory of the Chozong family, it would be too late for the Nagazong and my relatives to cry.
Immediately, the head of the Nagamune and my department immediately ordered troops and chased after Makoto Nakamura to the Maori army, but it was just ...... It's been a day, how can you catch up?
At the same time, news of the defeat of the Maori Navy soon spread to the Harima and Tajima battlefields. For this news, Takakei Kobayakawa and Motoharu Yoshikawa frowned at the same time. In particular, Kobayakawa Takakei, who often dealt with the naval army, knew very well what the consequences would be if the Oda army occupied the sea.
Immediately, Kobayakawa Takakei immediately ordered the offensive to be suspended, and only partially surrounded the two castles of Tatsuno and Muroyama, and at the same time began to strengthen the defenses of Kamitsuki, Toshi and other castles. He had a bad premonition that with the complete defeat of the navy, the offensive and defensive positions of the Maori family and the Oda family were probably going to be reversed.
This may sound like a bit unfounded, because although the battle at sea was defeated, no matter how strong the Oda navy was, it could capture some coastal cities at most. After all, if artillery could be used in siege warfare, the Maori family would not have to fight at all.
But Kobayakawa Takakei has such a hunch, although he has always been a very rational person, but this time, he decided to follow his feelings.
And on the other side, maybe it's really the brother's reason? Yoshikawa Motoharu made the same choice, slowing down the offensive and sending people back to Inaba to strengthen the defenses of Tottori and other castles. As for the rear, they didn't pay attention to it, because they believed that their father would not give the Oda family a chance to sneak attack from the sea.
As for the abandonment of Kyushu, neither Yoshikawa Motoharu nor Kobayakawa Takakei had any reaction, perhaps in their opinion, although this matter was a bit outrageous, it was the only option in the case of losing maritime supremacy. It's just that the expressions of Inoue Motokan and Motojo Motojin are a little weird, but they don't say much.
Hideyoshi Hashiba and Mitsuhide Akechi did not react to Mori Ryokawa's behavior, although Shigeharu Takenaka had already informed them of the incident. But even if they won the victory at sea, it didn't have much to do with them, after all, their Maori army on land did not suffer any losses because of this. And they themselves also need time to repair, after all, a long time to defend the city or attack and defend the city, even the Oda army is very expensive.
So, Harima and Tajima returned to calm in this situation. But everyone knew that the lull was extremely short-lived, because both the Maori and Oda armies would certainly continue to fight after they had repaired. Because this kind of war that determines the situation in the world is a bow with no turning back, and only when one side is completely defeated will it really end.
Iyo Province.
After the Mori family completely evacuated Iyo, the Oda army soon occupied the whole of Iyo, and within a few days, the head of Chosamune arrived at Yuzuki Castle and joined Oda Shinna and Takenaka Shigeharu.
"I'm really sorry, in the next ......" As soon as the relatives of Changzong and my department met, they directly confessed, and they were reported to Kodama about Fang and the others being repelled. The words are sincere, and there is no hint of concealment.
Speaking of which, it was not that he didn't think about finding some excuses to reduce his mistakes, but under the persuasion of Xiangzong's pro-Tai, he still chose to confess. Because he also knows that this kind of thing is impossible to hide.
As for why he sued Oda Shinna and Shigeharu Takenaka, it was because of the status of the two, and Shigeharu Takenaka was the person in charge of the Shikoku battlefield. At the same time, confess to the two first, maybe you can get the understanding of the two, and by the way, help them intercede, after all, the head of the Changzong and my department is among the retainers of Oda Yoshinobu, and they know these two.
