Another year passed, and in the 13th year of Eiroku, that is, in 1570, the strength of the Oda family once again reached a new level after the separation of the peasants and soldiers. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Although the total number of troops has been drastically reduced, anyone can see that the combat effectiveness of the Oda Army has more than doubled after the troops were completely converted into standing forces.

The Takeda family and other forces have also begun to continuously increase the strength of their own troops through the revised reserves, but anyone can see that as time goes by, the gap in the combat effectiveness of the two sides will only widen.

And Oda Yoshinobu's side is also constantly expanding its military strength. After subduing the mercenary forces such as Kii Saga and Nerai, Oda Yoshinobu did not hesitate to integrate them all into the Iron Artillery Team. And through the acquisition of iron cannons by the Argotic Chamber of Commerce, the iron artillery team under his command was expanded to 2,000 people.

"Reshow! It won't be long before the Iron Artillery Corps will expand to 10,000 men! Yoshinobu Oda promised Shigehide Suzuki.

Hawkers, for Oda Yoshinobu from the future, he naturally knows what the future trend of war is, although he prefers cold weapon warfare to hot weapons, but this does not mean that he will be stupid to only develop cold weapon troops. In particular, Oda Yoshinobu has never given up his obsession with the sea.

Yoshinobu Oda, who had a vision far beyond anyone else of his time, knew very well that compared to the vast and resource-rich New World, tiny Japan was simply a worthless desert island.

Of course, Oda Yoshinobu also knew that in order to take the New World, it was very necessary to unify Japan first. Otherwise, how can they fight against the powerful Europa colonists in the Age of Discovery? And if you want to unify Japan, it is undoubtedly very important to have a large number of iron cannons. You must know that as a long-range unit, the power and training difficulty of iron cannons are far beyond the ability of archers. At the very least, a qualified iron gunner only needs a month to go to battle, and what about archers? Archers with poor talent are estimated to not even be able to aim accurately in a month.

At the same time, the expansion of the Shinigami, the ninja army, and the navy continued, and at the same time, in Chugoku, Suruga, Echigo, Settsu, and other places, taverns, shrines, and lodging houses began to slowly appear. In addition, the Galen ship was officially completed, and it has to be said that when Oda Yoshinobu boarded this huge ship, he couldn't help but have the illusion that he had conquered the sea.

"By the way, is my flagship already under construction? The previous ship now seems to be no longer suitable~" Oda Yoshinobu asked expectantly.

"Please rest assured, the new flagship has already begun to be built, but ~ before it is built, the subordinates hope to be able to keep it secret~" Da Zhu Hejiao said with a smile, "But the subordinates promise that when it is completed, the lord will be very satisfied!" ”

"You're still keeping it a secret from me? You've learned badly~" Oda Yoshinobu took the big crane into his arms, reached into his clothes and enjoyed the huge softness of the big crane, and said with a wicked smile in the ear of the big pearl crane.

"Lord~" Da Zhu He twisted his delicate body, and his face became blushing.

"It seems like I haven't tasted you for a long time~ I have to taste it today~" Oda Yoshinobu gently bit the earlobe of the Great Zhu Crane, and his hands continued to swim on the delicate body of the Great Zhu Crane. At the same time, the Grim Reapers around Oda Yoshinobu tacitly surrounded the two in the middle, and separated the two of them to slowly take off the clothes of the Great Zhu Crane.

Belch...... This is the real purpose of Oda Yoshinobu's female god of death, right? Sure enough, it's a big pervert.

April, Kyushu, Funachikan.

This is the residence of Otomo Sorin, and at this time, this castle has been surrounded by three layers of Maori's house. Speaking of which, although Mori Moto was determined to deal with the Otomo family before attacking the Oda family, even he did not expect that this long war would go so smoothly.

But if you think about it, it's actually normal. Because whether it is Otomo Sorin, or the Otomo family, in front of China's overlord Maori Yuan, he is too immature.

Although Otomo Sorin, when he was about 30 years old, expanded his territory from Bungo Province all the way to the four countries of Chikuzen, Bunzen, Bungo, and Higo, in fact, if it weren't for the rebellion of Tao Qingxian of the Ouchi family, in order to obtain friendly forces, he gave up part of Chikuzen and Bunzen's territory, and Otomo Sorin's tentacles would not have been able to extend his tentacles into Bunzen and Chikuzen.

Later, after Tao Qingxian was killed in the Battle of Itsukushima, when the Maori family attacked the Ouchi family and made the Ouchi family unable to take care of Kyushu at all, Otomo Sorin, as an ally of the Ouchi family, quickly sent troops to Bunzen, and continued to expand his power in Bunzen and Chikuzen by means of suppression and entrapment.

It's just that even so, the Otomo family is just taking advantage of the danger of others after all, as an outsider, does it have strong strength, and even treats those wealthy families who have repeatedly rebelled, and is always hesitant to be unable to kill decisively, so that until Maori invaded Kyushu, Otomo Sorin, he still couldn't completely deal with Chikuzen and Bunzen.

In fact, when the Mori family sent troops to Kyushu, almost half of the wealthy families in Chikuzen were on the side of the Mori family, so you can imagine how weak Otomo Sorin's rule over these two countries was.

At the same time, Otomo Sorin's once robbed the retainer's wife, which directly led the retainer to lead the family to rebel. Although the rebellion was eventually put down, it is clear that this approach of Otomo Sorins is really shameful. In addition, his closeness to Catholicism also made him quite popular with his retainers.

Now, all of this has finally led to this ending. The Otomo family, which once dominated the four countries of Kyushu and even extended its tentacles into Hizen and Chikugo, and seemed to be able to unify the six countries, finally fell to the point where it is today. Chikugo was captured by the Ryuzoji family, and Higo's territory was also robbed by him, while Chikuzen and Bunzen fell into the hands of the Mori family, and they were attacked by them in front of the inner hall of the castle mansion.

Obviously, at this time, Otomo Zonglin seems to have lost his skills. He had high hopes for a surprise attack plan proposed by the important minister Yoshioka Nagamasa, but unfortunately it did not work at all. After being besieged for nearly a month, the attitude of the retainers under his command seemed to have begun to waver.

"Is it all about to end?" Otomo Sorin thought helplessly.

"It's over...... Mori Moto, who said to Ashikaga Yoshiaki in Nagafu Castle, "Your Highness the Shogun, could you please visit the Funachi Pavilion in person?" If you come forward, I believe that Otomo Sorin will definitely surrender. ”

"And only by ending the war in Kyushu can the Honke fully prepare for the war against the Oda family. You also know that the family is a lot behind now......" Mori Motosaku's eyes were full of smiles.
