February of the sixth year of Tensho

Kaga Motoyoshiminato

Honyoshiminato, one of the seven towns of Sanminato, is the largest port town in Kaga Province

The rivers of the Tetori River flow into the sea here

Although the Tetori River is not as majestic as the Yangtze River, it is a little less majestic and mighty, but the water is turbulent and angry, and the shore is also a little more dangerous

You Zuoxu was bald, wearing an eye-catching half-moon hood, wearing a small Zha Sewei black with feet, looking at the rapids of the Tetori River, and couldn't help but smile a little more on his face

I didn't expect that I You Zuo continued to be more than half a hundred years old, and I was already full of gray hair, and today I still have the opportunity to sit in the general

You Zuo Xuguang muttered to himself, and he swiped the whip in his hand into the air, revealing the agitation in his heart

Leading a large army to fight against the commander is the dream of every warrior

Now, for the lord of Noto Zhuzhou County, the former Tayama family boss Yu Satsumitsu, this appointment as the general of the Tango country is also an opportunity for him to rejuvenate the second spring of his samurai career

Yusa continued to look back from the river of the Tetori River to the pier above the port town of Honyoshiminato

Above Minato Town is a sight of towering masts

Dozens of large troop carriers anchored and anchored, jutting out small sampans over the land

And the ashigaru soldiers with flags on each sampan are lining up to board the ship one after another

All kinds of war-ready goods, such as rations, war horses, iron cannons, large barrels, and other weapons, were also vigorously moved into the big ships

Looking at this scene, You Zuo Xuguang couldn't help but be arrogant, and secretly said: Tango is the land close to, if this battle can be won, the foundation of my You Zuo family can be established in Tango, so the descendants are also proud of my achievements today, and I can count nothing

Just as You Zuo continued to look forward to the scene of leading the army across the sea to Tango this time

A samurai reported to him that the lord and the young lord had resisted the port and sent the army on the march

yes, why not say it sooner

You Zuo Xuguang heard that Li Xiao didn't dare to slack off at the moment, straightened his helmet, and then turned over and galloped away with the support of the side

When Yu Zuo Xuguang arrived at a hillside overlooking Benyoshiminato, he saw the flag mark of the sun and the moon

Looking at it from afar, You Zuo Xuguang saw that several generals who went to Tango this time were all there, but he was the only one missing, so he couldn't help but curse secretly, damn it

After You Zuo Xuguang came to the bottom of the mountain and dismounted, he panted and ran to Li Xiao and said: Meet the lord and young master, please forgive your subordinates for the sin of being late and neglecting

On the hillside, Li Xiao, Li Zheng, Zhuzhong, Chongzhi, Benduo, Zhengxin and others are all there

Li Xiao smiled and said, "Lord Youzuo, don't you blame you for all the forces on board?"

You Zuo Xuguang nodded and said: Your Majesty has brought two thousand troops from Noeng, and you have already boarded the ship, so you can start the ship after the lord's order

Li Xiao nodded slowly and said, "Very good."

Then Li Xiao looked at Hideji Kano again

Hideji Kano said: "The lord of the Hui Palace, the god Oka Bei, has also been on the ship, and the 3,000 troops of Kaga have also boarded the ship, and now they can set off

Li Xiao laughed and struck the horsewhip and said: Very good, since everything is ready, I will wait in Yue for your good news after pacifying Dan, don't disappoint my expectations

Yusa, Xuguang, Kano Hideji, both bowed down together and said loudly: Your Majesty must be loyal

Li Xiao nodded slowly and said: Then the army will set off

At this moment, although it is February, the weather is still slightly cold, but the temperature is already warming

On the top of the mountain, the sky is clear, the blue is like washing, the sea waves are slightly undulating, and under the sun, the golden scales are shining brightly

Inside the dock, there was a gurgling sound, and the ships were pulling the large iron anchors from the water and pulling them up with a winch

call

The iron anchors came out of the water in unison

Raise the sails

The bow of the ship shouted loudly and walked from the bow to the stern

The white sails are hung from the mast one after the other, and from a distance, it looks like countless white flowers blooming overnight

Boom

The roar of the large cylinder above the dock gave the order for the army to depart...,

At present, nearly 100 large ships of various types full of draft in the port town are slowly moving under the force of the mainmast and sail

At the moment of departure, countless family members of Kaga soldiers shouted farewell in the distance

The convoy of convoys gradually emerged from the harbor town, marking white water marks on the water

In the distance of Minato Town, where the transport ship departed, a large fleet was heading towards the transport fleet, and the tall black hull of the ship looked like a dark cloud hanging low above the sea

This is the Li Jiamingguo Combined Fleet that departed from another port in Benjiminato, and served as the escort fleet for this large army's departure

This time, Li Xiao went to Danhou

In addition to the 3,000 sailors escorted on the sea, the main army was 2,000 Noto led by Yusa Sumitsu, 3,000 people from Kaoka Bikaga under Hideharu Kano, and 1,000 people from Ming Province, Korean and local people under the command of the Ming maritime merchant Wang Tanyuki, and this time they left the port from Kaga Honyoshi Minato and landed in Ohama no Town in Wakasa Province

After that, Muto Tomoyoshi, a native of Wakasa Province, sent out 2,000 Tanba Daimyo Naito Ruan out to lead 3,000 troops to join the army, and then sent troops to Tango and Yoshikawa Motoharu, the general of the Mori family, to carry out the Tango strategy

This army was led by Yusa Xumitsu as the commander-in-chief, with Hideharu Kano as the deputy general, and the navy and army were more than 15,000 to form a large army to fight

The 15,000-strong army was replaced by Li Xiao, who initially pacified the Hida in Vietnam, and it was unimaginable to pour the country's army

But today, it is just Li Xiao's army, you must know that the current Li Xiao is a veritable Kaga million stones

At the same time as Yusa continued Hikarino Hideji out of the Tango

Why cooperate with the Tango strategy in Hokuriku

A few days ago, Li Xiao, with Kinoshita Hidenaga as his general, Maeda Toshiie, Fujido Takatora as his vice, Kaga Ichikuni, and Echichu Shesui Prefecture sent out a battle of 12,000 troops, crossed the Tetori River, and attacked the Hokuriku Army of Shibata Katsuya with the momentum of last year's great victory

Kinoshita Hidenaga Maeda Toshiie and others have besieged Daiseiji Castle in Enuma County, the last stronghold of Shibata Katsuya in Kaga Province

And Shibata Katsuya heard the news that the Hida Echichu army was out of battle, but there was no news in Kitanozhuang Castle, and it seemed that he had lost the courage to fight, and he just wanted to sit back in the castle and watch the Great Sage Temple Castle fall for Li Xiao

From last year's strategic defense to the strategic counteroffensive at the beginning of this year

The Hida Echichu Legion attacked at the same time with the strength of 10,000 troops, and this kind of offensive was like a storm that shocked the world's major names who were still immersed in the heavy snow of the New Year

And as a staff member of Li Xiaojun's division, Shigeharu Takenaka worked out the battle strategy for this dispatch with Honda Masanobu, and he couldn't help but say with emotion: Since Oda Nobunaga is dead, if Uesugi Kenshin dies again, there will be no one in the world who can suppress Major General Konoe

Hearing that Shigeharu Takenaka said this, Honda Masatin just smiled slightly, and he was already confident about everything when he joined Li Xiao back then

Similarly, as a military advisor, the wise man in the army is also a wise man who is re-governed, but the wise man was not optimistic about Li Xiao early, and he has a sense of superiority in terms of wisdom and strategy

On the sea beyond the port town, the transport fleet and the escort fleet have also met, and this time the sailors have also become an exhibition of various ships

Among them, there are Japanese Atakaseki ships, Ming Kingdom Fukufu, and Nanbarian Clark galleons, and various ships are mixed together

After the commander of the Hida Etsuchu Legion, Mukai Masatsuna, issued an order on the flagship, dividing the escort fleet into two, one on the left and one on the right, and protecting the transport fleet in the center, this large fleet of more than 200 ships was full of sails, sailing west through the wind and waves

After seeing the fleet sent out, Li Zheng said to Li Xiaoyan: Father, the Isshiki family has withered, this time, the two adults of Yusakano, together with the army of the Maori family, will lead this army to fight in Tango, and they will be able to succeed in a battle

Li Xiao smiled when he heard this, and said: After the capture of Dan, I am completely sure, but it may not be smooth sailing, and the decline of the Yishi family is good, but there are also brave generals...,

Speaking of this, Li Xiao said to Li Zhengyan: Yesterday, I received a letter from Yoshikawa Motoharu, saying that he could not attack Gongmu Castle for a long time, so he asked my army to send troops quickly to relieve the pressure on the Maori family

Li Zheng asked in surprise: What kind of brave generals are there in the Isshiki family, even Yoshikawa Shaosuke, the general of the Western Kingdom, also feels embarrassed

Li Xiaoyan said: The brave general of the Isshiki family I am talking about is the lord of Yuki Castle, Inatomi Yuzhi, according to me, I know that this person is good at using iron artillery, there is an iron artillery army under the command of the iron cannon, and the Maori family attacking Gongmu Castle has suffered many casualties under the suppression of the iron cannon, and several generals have also died in battle, so Yoshikawa Motoharu asked me for help

Li Zheng showed a look of sudden realization, and then took a step forward and said to Li Xiaoyan: My father, Lord Yu Samisaku, is already old and mediocre in ability, is it inappropriate to use this person as the main general when he goes to Danhou this time, I see that the master of Kano is a handsome talent of an army and a general

Li Xiao smiled when he heard this, and said: Yes, You Zuo Xuguang is indeed not as talented as Hideji Kano, but why do you think I think he is a general

That's because Yusa Xuguang was an important minister of Noto back then, if he was asked to live in Kano Hideji, who was younger than him and far less senior, how could he serve the army, if he did not unite and strive for profit, it would sow trouble, so it was better to let Kano Hideji be his deputy and assist him wholeheartedly

As for the strategy of Tango, after that, I will withdraw Yusa Xuguang to his life, and Hideji Kano will be the general of the Dango Wakasa Army, after all, Hideji Kano is still too young and sharpened, if he is promoted too quickly, he will lose the right person and do not know how to cherish it

Li Zheng heard Li Xiao say this, so he nodded, and looked thoughtful

Li Xiao smiled slightly, pressed his shoulder, and said: This truth is also with you, I hope you have to remember

Li Zheng raised his head and looked at Li Xiao, nodded and said: The child understands (to be continued, if you like this work, you are welcome to come (.) Vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation)
