Chapter 118: Changes in the Hosokawa Family (Second Update)

"It's just a matter of stating a fact." Kira Yoshitoki sat up straight, took out a letter and handed it to Ashikaga Yoshito, and said: "According to the investigation, the Miyoshi family has 20,000 troops on standby in Shikoku, and the Ataku family, who controls the shipping routes of Osaka Bay, has also become a branch of the Miyoshi family, and the Miyoshi family has no worries about sea transportation at all, and in there is also the Kawachi Hatakeyama family controlled by Miyoshi Nagakei's father-in-law, Yusa Chokyo, and the Settsu country has just been subjugated, plus Izumi, which has long been controlled.

The Miyoshi family indirectly controls the 20,000 troops of Settsu, Izumi, Hanoi, Kii, plus Shikoku, and Mitsuki can pull up an army of 40,000 at any time, at this time we suddenly won a battle, begged for the death of Shikawa Ichicun, and defeated the army of the Miyoshi family of 18,000 prisoners, at this time we need more to negotiate and reach peace with the Miyoshi family with the momentum of a great victory. ”

Ashikaga Yoshito looked at this thin piece of paper, his face turned blue and white for a while, and he clutched the piece of paper in his hand into a ball, "There is no other way but harmony?" ”

"There's no better way to do it right now." Kira replied.

"It's really surprising that the famous general who just defeated the 18,000 army of the Miyoshi family would say such a depressing thing!" Hosokawa Harumoto sneered and said, "Since Kira Sabei Hall doesn't dare to go out, then I, Harumoto, will go out for the shogunate!" His Royal Highness and the princes are waiting for the good news of my Qingyuan! ”

Hosokawa Harumoto got up and left, and when he left, he called the Hosokawa family away, and it was said that he was going to hold a military meeting to discuss the military affairs of Katsuryuji Castle tomorrow, Ashikaga Yoshito sat still with a blue face, and the Chang Imperial Palace was silent, and everyone knelt down with solemn faces, and Ashikaga Yoshito said in a low voice: "Is it really impossible to take Katsuryuji Castle?" ”

"Combined warfare is different from siege warfare, the cost of taking it by force is too great, once you can't capture the city in the short term, you will be surrounded by the army of Miyoshi Changqing, and it will be too late to retreat." Kira Yoshitoki is not optimistic about Hosokawa Harumoto's performance at all, and Matsunaga Nagayoshi is not a fool, two thousand elites are guarding Katsuryu Temple Castle, how can Hosokawa Harumoto's three thousand people take it down.

"Let's wait for news from Hosokawa Ukyo! You've had a hard day, rest early! Ashikaga Yoshito got up and left Ohiroma.

Early the next morning, Hosokawa Harumoto led his 3,000 troops to Katsuryuji Castle, because of the sinister relationship between Hosokawa Harumoto and Kira Yoshitoki, the two sides did not share information, so he did not know that Matsunaga Nagayoshi had tried to cross the Kamogawa River, but was blocked by the navy and returned in vain.

He also didn't know that Ise Sadataka had been escorted to Akutagawa Mountain Castle by Matsunaga Nagayori, and that the Miyoshi family had clearly learned the news of the death of Tokawa Ichicun, and Hosokawa Harumoto was facing the Miyoshi family's 2,000 angry divisions, and what was waiting for him was definitely not a good result.

Hexagon Yoshiken gained nothing in this battle, and was willing to watch the epic war as a passer-by without doing anything, and when he woke up to what he should do, it was already late and the battle of Zhongwei Mountain was over, where was there leftovers to share with him, and finally he could only retreat and return in disgrace, the previous hard work turned into a waste of effort, in the eyes of the world he was a fool who delayed the fighter, you can imagine how annoyed and nested he was.

Not to mention how angry and annoyed these two relatives are, Kira Yoshishi has been busy here, and the two battles have been fought with heavy casualties and also captured a lot, and the first actual inspection must be done to carry out the statistics of the battle of the deep grass, and it is named as Naito Masasari, who shot an arrow through the throat of the Ten Rivers and Ichiza to end the general of the Miyoshi family, and it is not an exaggeration to set it as a success.

Yamazaki Ieyoshi, the tenth general of the Ashigaru Formation, who held out to the end, was given the second effort not to one person, but to all the Omi samurai who died in the Battle of Fukakusa, and remembered their exploits when representing Kira Yoshishi.

Sanban Gong is Zhongjo Shixiu, after the death of Shihe Yicun, he immediately organized an army to break the army of the Miyoshi family several roads, and one person beheaded the thirty-five levels, including several fierce generals in the Miyoshi family, he is the main force that completely defeated the Miyoshi army, without his outstanding performance, the Miyoshi army would not surrender so easily, so he also won the nickname of "Ghost Zhongjo", and his reputation soared.

The above three merits were rewarded according to the calculation, and Kira Yoshitoki would take 5,000 kan at a time as a reward, all as a reward for the meritorious ones, and another 5,000 kan to compensate the families of the Omi samurai who died in battle.

Then there is the battle of Jishoji Temple and the battle of Nakao Mountain, Ichiban is Suzuki Shigeji, he is Mikawa Feng public Suzuki clan temple stream, in the Suzuki clan is famous for gunnery, this time to grab the first is also for the Mikawa Suzuki family to raise a prestige, a gun is naturally Watanabe Takatsuna, he led 300 people to charge to defeat Miyoshi Nagayi's main formation, forcing him to abandon the plan to defend and flee in embarrassment, it can be said that the contribution is indispensable.

He is the younger brother of Okochi Kitaka who is twenty-five years old, and he is often known for his bravery and good fighting when he was in Mikawa, and he is also the backbone of the Mikawa samurai.

The second gong was given to Kato Kyoaki, who commanded the grenadier team, and the third gong was the iron artillery general Takigawa Mashige, and the great power of the combination of the two fiercely shocked the Miyoshi army and laid the foundation for the final victory.

The statistics of the two battles came out, and each of them received a reward, and the money bag that Kira Yoshitoki had accumulated from Sakamoto in the past six months was on the verge of bankruptcy, but fortunately, the captives of the Miyoshi family added up to 10,000 people, of which 2,000 people were killed in the battle of the Awa people in the headquarters led by Shihe Ichicun, and only 1,000 people remained.

However, as far as Kira Yoshitoki knew, many of the Shikoku people were still killed on the spot by the angry Omi people after the surrender, and some of the seriously injured were mercilessly mended, and less than 2,000 were actually killed, and a total of 800 people were killed in Settsu and Izumi, and there were 1,200 remaining, and the 3,000 troops of the Hatakeyama family were basically fighting soy sauce and there were almost no losses, and all the Yamashiro people were captured except for a few who fled with Ise Sadataka.

The Battle of Nakao Mountain and the Battle of Kira were only very few in battle, the Battle of Jishoji Temple killed more than 300 people in the battle of Miyoshiya, the Battle of Nakao Mountain killed more than 1,500 people, plus the 1,200 people killed by the Yamahokawa Army, a total of 2,000 people were lost, and nearly 6,000 people were captured, of which more than 2,000 were from Shikoku, and the rest were from several countries of.

The most important result is actually a dead Shihe Yicun and a living Sanhao Changyi, these two guardians are the main harvest of these two joint battles, and you can get rich rewards if you operate properly, Sanhao Changyi is the uncle of Sanhao Changqing, and his father is a good Changqing and Miyoshi Changqing's grandfather Miyoshi Changxiu is a father, and his family has always followed the Sanhao family and has also made a lot of achievements.

So after the rise of Miyoshi Changqing, this guy who is a lot older than Miyoshi Changqing regardless of age or age has become a general in terms of seniority, but he is much worse than Shihe Yicun, and he has no courage to fight to the death, but thanks to his blessing, the Kira family has not suffered a deeper blow.

After the work of fixing merit, checking rewards, putting the captured armor into storage, and rewarding the Yodogawa people, it was already a day later, and in the evening there was unfortunate news, Hosokawa Harumoto forcibly recruited 2,000 mountain castles in the mountain castle and combined them into an army of 5,000 to launch an attack on Katsuryuji Castle, and as a result, he encountered the army of the Miyoshi family who had nowhere to vent their anger because of the death of the ten rivers and one existence, and it is said that it took a while to defeat the mountain castle people who had no intention of fighting.

Then the Hosokawa army was under the onslaught of Matsunaga Nagari, and could no longer maintain the position and began to retreat, and then the defeat turned into a rout, and was chased and killed by Matsunaga Nagayori, and was killed on the spot Eight hundred people were killed, and several members of the Hosokawa family were killed in battle, according to the Hattori family's informant, if it wasn't for Matsunaga Nagayori for fear that someone would steal the city and stop the pursuit, I am afraid that the Hosokawa army would be captured, because at that time the Hosokawa army had been chased to the vicinity of the Katsura River, and further there was only a swim in the river.
