Chapter 486: The Navy Army Dispatched

In the fifth year of Tianzheng, August.

Wakasa country, Goseyama Castle.

The scene of sunrise, the morning glow renders the sea. At this time, the autumn wind is gradually rising, and the sea is already slightly waved

As autumn progresses, fishermen in Wakasa Province in Hokuriku Province must seize this last season to start fishing, and the warm Tsushima Currents have brought a large number of fishing grounds to Wakasa Province, and it is also a gift from God to the people of Wakasa Province.

Wakasa Province has always been famous for its abundance of fish and salt.

In the Heian period, it was the imperial family's imperial food country, and fresh fish had to be paid to the imperial family every ten days.

Therefore, the famous mackerel street leads to Kyoto, and the reason why it is called mackerel street is mainly for selling fish and salt for Kyoto, and among the fish goods, mackerel is the main thing.

In addition to land transportation, water transportation was also developed in Goseyama Castle, mainly using the waterway from Lake Biwa to Kyoto, where Toyotomi Hideyoshi used water transportation to transport timber when he built Fushimi Castle.

Due to its proximity to and well-developed transportation, Wakasa Province has a strong Kinai character, and the country is full of Buddhist temples, and is known as Nara of the Sea or Little Kyoto.

This is also related to Wakasa's protection of the Takeda clan's vigorous development.

Wakasa Takeda is a branch of Kai Takeda, when Takeda Nobuei killed Isshiki Yoshikan meritorious, was hated by 10,000 people, and the sixth shogun Ashikaga Yoshikyo was named Wakasa Guardian.

Wakasa Takeda also had a close relationship with the Hosokawa family, and Wakasa Takeda was the head of the fifth generation, Takeda Motoshin, who was the leader of the rebellion that led the Eastern Army.

Because he was deeply trusted by the shogun and the Hosokawa clan, the head of the Wakasa Takeda family, he was also guarded by the Bonitan Goku and entered the ranks of the shogunate's important ministers.

And in the Battle of Onin, he became the main thug of Hosokawa Katsumoto, and was known as the deputy general of the Eastern Army for a while.

As a result, he served as the guardian of the two countries, and the prestige of Wakasa Takeda far surpassed that of the Takeda family far away in the Kai ravine.

It was once thought that Kai Takeda was a division of Wakasa Takeda.

However, Wakasa Takeda quickly declined, usurping power for the so-called four old ministers, resulting in the head of the family being powerless, and ten years ago, the governor of the family, Takeda Motoaki, even kidnapped the Asakura family to Ichijo Valley Castle.

Nobunaga attacked the Asakura family and rescued Takeda Motoaki.

Today, as the largest castle in Wakasa, Goseyama Castle overlooks this part of the sea.

Goseyama Castle is the center of Wakasa Takeda, the guardian office, and Kokubunji Temple are all built here.

At the beginning of the Onin Rebellion, the minister fled Kyoto and took refuge here for a time, so it was prosperous for a while.

In the back mountain of Goseyama Castle, the wind blows the pine forest, and it makes a crisp sound.

A figure dressed as a samurai in his forties also looked at the sea.

"I said there would be a day of revival for my family."

After saying this, the warrior snorted coldly, then turned around, and was slowly ascending the mountain path from the back of the mountain, accompanied by two retinues.

The samurai's eyes were resolute, his expression was calm and calm, and there was a thick cocoon on the tiger's mouth in his right hand, which was obviously a kendo master.

"Who is it?"

In front of a large door, someone asked loudly, and at the same time there was a faint sound of the bowstring being twisted, apparently with a bow and arrows.

"Don't you even know adults?"

The samurai's retinue shouted.

Turning through the pine forest, the samurai and two of his followers appeared in front of the hand door.

"It turned out to be Muto-sama, why don't you take the Otemen Gate and enter the city from the back mountain?"

"Bastard, is this your business?"

"I'm sorry, Muto-sama, the villain shouldn't have asked."

Guarding in front of the door, two ashigaru with papaya-patterned flags recognized the samurai, and immediately said with a smile, while speaking, one ashigaru also pointed to the arrow oar, and the other ashigaru was holding an arrow with a bow and signaled not to let go of the arrow. …,

The samurai walked straight to the gate of the Shotemon, and the two ashigaru immediately lowered the handle of their guns, bowed and said, "See Muto-sama." ”

Seeing this, the man known as Muto-sama nodded slightly, took a few steps closer and said, "It's hard work. ”

This Ashigaru-sama, who had always had an explosive temper when he heard this, suddenly became pleasant today, and he was slightly surprised, and he was waiting for this surprise.

I saw this Muto-sama, his body suddenly moved, and he didn't see any movement, and suddenly his sword flashed.

The two heads swirled straight into the sky, and the blood on the neck shot out like a fountain.

This scene made Ashigaru, who was standing on the arrow turret, stunned, and before he could recover his senses, the samurai's retinue took out a ninja-specific hand arrow from his sleeve and shook it casually.

At that moment, the ashigaru only felt a pain in his neck, and the cry that he wanted to warn suddenly held back in his throat, and he couldn't shout anymore.

After the samurai had killed, he rushed through the door and drew his sword.

At this moment, a servant with a broom had just walked out from behind the door, and he looked at the samurai, carrying a bloody katana, and slashed at him.

Without a sound, the servant was killed instantly by a katana sword piercing through his chest and back.

Just in the blink of an eye, four people were killed in a row.

The samurai looked around to make sure that no one had come for the time being, so he wiped his katana on the servant's clothes, and suddenly the blade was shining, and only the blood groove was still blood-red.

The samurai couldn't help but say happily, "Good sword." ”

Then he waved his hand to his entourage and shouted, "Send a signal!" ”

The attendant understood, and immediately made a lip with one hand and blew a clear whistle at the door of the hand.

Soon after, in the mountains and forests, there were faint bushes, and countless figures flashed among them.

The samurai chief exhaled and said, "Since there is no movement, you will continue up the mountain with me to see if you can trick you into opening the gate of Ninomaru, and you will take over here, guard the gate for me, and take the others up the mountain." ”

"Oh!"

More than a dozen ninjas dressed up and said in agreement.

The samurai walked halfway, paused, and looked from the top of the mountain toward Wakasa Bay.

I saw fishing boats shuttling on the sea, and at the place where the water and the sky meet, rows of large ships with several sails are riding the wind and waves towards the bay port.

Inside the cabin of a large ship.

A bearded man was holding a bowl of sake and gulping it down, while another dark-skinned man in front of him, frowning slightly, said, "Before the battle, let's drink less bars." ”

The man put down the wine bowl and said with a smile: "Chiga-sama, don't worry, you understand the amount of alcohol I drink." ”

The dark-skinned man said, "Lord Mukai, it's not because you drink, it's just that this battle is related to your family's strategy, and you need to be cautious. ”

The man, who was called Chiga-sama, his eyes lit up, and he said: "Don't worry, Wakasa Bay is just a naval army of the Yimi family, this is not the opponent of the family at all, I have asked the Ming fleet that cooperates with our actions to deal with them." With the power of these Ming people, this Yijian family's naval army should only have some wood left now. ”

Speaking of naval warfare, the man named Lord Xiangjing said with a proud expression: "My lord, I have trained my naval army for nearly ten years, and now I have a small success, when it comes to water warfare, this naval army of the Yijian family is naturally not our opponent, but we will attack this Taseyama Castle for a while, this land battle is not the strength of our naval army, even if we have many people, we may not be able to succeed." ”

Chiga-sama said with a smile: "I'm worried a lot, for this time to send troops to Kaga, the young lord and Takenaka, Honda, two adults, have been planning for a long time, not only plotting against the old Muto Tomoyi of the Takeda family, but also arranging for the ninjas to lurk and seize the door, this series of back-hands, will be able to capture this city without blood." ”…,

"Take a step back, even if it fails, our three newly built Nanban ships can have dozens of large cylinders, if you want to attack the city, unload it directly, carry it up the mountain and bombard it with a big cylinder, and what city can't take."

Looking at the other party's confident appearance, this Mukai-sama finally had a smile on his face, and said: "I hope so, this time the sailor army is going out to fight narrowly, and it is also a last resort, I hope to alleviate the crisis on the Kaga front line, Shibata Gonroku, he is really a world-famous general!" ”

Speaking of which, this is a sailor who got off the cabin and reported: "At the bow of the ship, there is news from the Ming Kingdom that the Yijian family has been completely wiped out!" At the same time, Kohayafune, who was the first hand, reported that in the direction of Goseyama Castle, he found clear smoke, which was obviously a succession in our army. ”

"Good."

The two captains smiled at the same time, and then the Lord Mukai said, "Pass the order, hoist the sails with all your might, and give me the opportunity to enter the port." ”

Rumble!

Rumble!

Plumes of smoke rose from the port town in Wakasa Bay, and several wooden houses were suddenly blown down under the bombardment of ship guns.

The Oda family's Tase Yama Castle Keeper Shoube Kentoku looked at the big black ship not far from the sea, and was dumbfounded.

"Where did this water army come from, how did it appear here, is it the Tango water army? It's impossible, the Isshiki family definitely doesn't have such a large-scale naval army, and besides, he will never dare to be an enemy of my Oda family. ”

Shoube Kentoku muttered to himself.

He dressed as a monk, this person was originally a retainer of the Rokkaku family, and later changed to the Oda family, and became a direct minister of the famous minister Niwa Nagahide, and was appointed to manage the water transportation of Wakasa Bay.

Later, Niwa Nagahide was killed in the Battle of Nagashino, and Wakasa Province was placed under the rule of Shibata Katsuie, so he changed his name to Shibata and was appreciated and appointed as the lord of Taseyama Castle.

This time, Shibata Katsuie went out to Kaga for the sixth time, mobilizing Echizen, Omi, and Wakasa Province, with a total of 35,000 troops.

Due to the unprecedented size of the army, Shibata's army fought fiercely with Takeda in Kaga, so it could not be supplied for a while.

He was being ordered to prepare grain and grass for military supplies in the rear, and relied on the water transportation of Lake Biwa from Wakasa Bay to Tsuruga Port, but at this time, he found a large unknown fleet appearing on the sea surface of Wakasa Bay.

Just when Shoube Kentoku was guessing, Ninomaru in the back mountain, at the door of the hand, suddenly a fire appeared at the same time.

And at this time, Shoube Jiande slapped his thigh, and he knew that something was wrong, so he shouted loudly: "Go to Yoshida Castle and tell Lord Yimi that the Takeda family's jets against the Echichu Legion have bypassed Echizen and attacked Wakasa, please come to his aid quickly!" ”
