Noguchi Fuyucho has been holding back his strength to prove his ability, so when the death of Shihe Ichiku happened, he immediately seized the opportunity to take the initiative to fight, and patted his chest and said that he would definitely kill all the Yodokawa people, Ataka Dongyasu was also hesitating about this matter at the time, he knew the ability of this brother, and it was not a big deal to exterminate the water army, Miyoshi Changqing only said that he would send troops immediately, not that Ataka Dongkang would send troops immediately, he was also happy that someone would take over.

Yasutaka Fuyasu has been in charge of the Awaji Navy to control the sea control of Osaka Bay and the eastern part of Setouchi, to prevent the Mishima Navy in the direction of Iyo from making trouble, and it is his priority to suppress Kii's Navy who can't raise its head, and he has to control the sea tax every day, and it is really busy to deal with various forces, and it is indeed inseparable from Awaji Oshima, and it is not difficult to clean up the inland water army like Yodogawa, as long as you are careful, you should be able to complete it smoothly.

So Ataka Fuyuya called Noguchi Fuyucho over, and persuaded him to be cautious, as long as the Yodogawa naval army was exterminated, he would withdraw in time, and the Ataka ships were specially requested by Noguchi Fuyuna, what he meant was that these Ataka ships have been parked in the harbor of Awaji and not going out is a waste, and taking five Ataka ships out for a trip can also show off the strength of the Miyoshi family.

Naturally, there was no reason to refuse this kind of suggestion, and all the requirements he put forward could be satisfied, so there was an armed parade of five Ataka ships, and when the Awaji Naval Army set off, the Kira Naval Army was also anxiously waiting.

The original strategy was to wait for the Awaji Navy to go deep into the Uji River and then attack from the rear, so that they could be taken down in one fell swoop. Those who act as bait are afraid that the chances of survival are slim.

All the ministers were hesitating, knowing that the bait was going to be a tragedy and there were not many people who dared to bear it, and at this moment the most unexpected person stood up and expressed his willingness to take on this important task, he was the leader of the Yodogawa people, Yodogawa Sanemon, no matter how much his companions did not understand, he still stood up.

After the military meeting, Yodogawa Sanemon expressed his wish when he found Kira Yoshi: "I am willing to serve as a bait if this battle is successful!" Please ask His Royal Highness Kira to accept the dog as a retainer. ”

"Hmm, don't you want your son to continue to be the leader of the navy? I get it! ”

The beacon fire and carrier pigeon of the next morning have been arranged, and the beacon fire of cow dung can be used to send the information of the battle in a short time, which is also the main source of information for this operation in Kira Yoshitomi, and the carrier pigeon may not have time to send the letter, only the beacon fire is the key to the decisive victory.

Noguchi Futsucho didn't know anything about this, he was a person who was not willing to be lonely, and at the same time he was a person with mediocre ability and a little bit of wisdom, at the moment when the Miyoshi family was accumulating talents, he was not able to stand up and help his brother, so after the meritorious deeds, he was kicked back to Awaji Island to be his courtier, he only felt that Miyoshi Changqing was unkind, but he didn't feel that his level was too inferior to be reused, and there was always no shortage of people in this world who couldn't recognize themselves.

At about 10 a.m. on 10 August, a huge fleet of boats lined up to occupy the mouth of the Yodogawa River, and at a distance of 50 minutes in front of them, a mixed fleet of dozens of ships of all kinds had gathered, all of which carried the banner of the word "Yodogawa," as if to tell the world that they were the Yodogawa people.

"Hahaha! See? That's Yodogawa! A group of rabble actually controlled the Yodo River of Nuoda? It's incredible! Today, let me let Noguchi Fuyucho show you what a real water army is! Pursuit! Noguchi Fudanaga sat on the central Ataka boat, and with a dashing wave of his military equipment, he launched a pursuit warrant.

A retainer cautiously asked, "But ahead is a tributary of the Katsura River!" Is there really no problem with the Ataka boat to get in? ”

Noguchi Fuyucho was very dissatisfied and yelled at his subordinates: "Do as I am told!" I was going to forget that I was Noguchi Fuyucho, but I was the general general! ”

"Yes!" Several retainers tacitly retreated backwards, and turned around with disdainful looks, "What a fool!" ”

"Yes! It's far worse than His Royal Highness Dongkang! ”

An elderly man patted them on the shoulder and whispered, "All right! I'm just a retainer, so it's better to say a few words! The military order is given by him, and we just need to do our part! ”

The Yodogawa fleet's fleet seemed to be intent on luring the Awaji Navy's pursuit, slowing down and waiting whenever the distance between the two widened, and this fishing tactic succeeded in angering Noguchi Fudanaga, who immediately ordered that he must catch up with the Yodokawa in any case, and this chase soon came to the mouth of the Kamogawa River, and beyond that was the Kamogawa tributary that flowed through Kyoto, and the river was narrow and shallow, and large ships were not suitable for travel.

The Awaji Navy raised doubts again, but they were all rejected by the confident Noguchi Fuyunaga, and his reason was simple: "If you sail the Ataka ship outside the city of Kyoto, you can deter the Manchu ministers, and what is it to take a little risk compared to it!" ”

The Awaji Navy looked at each other and smiled bitterly, following the stupid and bold general who could only go one way to the black, Noguchi Fuyunaga's self-confidence did not last long, the Ataka boat was different from the light Sekibune, and it was a dilemma not long after entering the Kamogawa, and the narrow river was difficult to travel and could only let the Sekibune and Kozao pursue first, so that the Ataka ship completely became a drag.

But once you let Sekibune continue to pursue, the formation of the fleet will be disjointed, and the Awaji Shui army will raise doubts again, this time Noguchi Fudanaga will not dare to make a decision, the Ataka ship is advantage is the ship's large draft, which makes him invincible in the offshore battle, but this advantage becomes a disadvantage when it reaches the shallow water tributaries, the hull is too large and the steering is not effective, and it is easy for the five Ataka ships to enter and it is difficult to retreat, and now there is still some distance from Kyoto, whether to continue to move forward or turn around and return to the relatively wide Katsura River to wait.

When the Awaji Navy was in a dilemma, Noguchi Fudanaga did not live up to everyone's expectations, and once again made a rash and arbitrary decision: "Keep going!" ”

Ever since the discovery of the fleet flying the flags of the Yodogawa River in the main stream of the Yodo River, the Awaji Navy has been chasing and fighting fiercely, and soon entered the depths of the Kamogawa River, and Noguchi Fuyunaga probably did not read the battle report carefully, and did not know at all that the deep grass valley on the east bank of the Kamogawa River was precisely the place where his fierce brother Shikawa survived.

As a fellow clan and deputy general, Noguchi Nagamune raised a new objection: "This river is getting narrower and narrower, and it is really not suitable to continue to move forward, so let's turn around and return now!" ”

"Huh! Changzong, don't say such discouraged words! I'm about to go to Kyoto, so wouldn't it be a waste of time to go back now? If we want to retreat, we will retreat a long time ago, and now we can't say anything! "Noguchi doesn't care about the objections anymore, and the orders have been issued, isn't it a slap in the face to mention it now? Will he be mixed up in the Awaji Water Army after he grows up?

Not only did he order the pursuit to continue, but he also refused to let the Ataka ship stop where it was, and the further he went in the pursuit, the narrower the river became, and the mudflats that were exposed gradually appeared, and the Awaji sailors were able to keep moving forward despite such difficult circumstances, but their good fortune was quickly exhausted, and they fell into a quagmire just a stone's throw from Kyoto Castle, and one ship got stuck in the other boats and had to squeeze past the side, and then they ran aground on the riverbank.

The Awaji sailors reluctantly reported the situation of the two ships running aground, and for a while and a half would not want to get him out, Noguchi Fuyunaga could no longer remain calm, and hurriedly got out of the safe and stuffy cabin, stood on the deck on the top of the ship and jumped to his feet and scolded: "Bastard! How could you get stuck in it! Hurry up and find a way to get the boat out! ”

"Yes!" The Awaji sailors were also full of resentment, paddling hard under the sun on a hot day, and some people jumped off the boat and swam to the bank of the river to try to push the boat, and the proud men who were supposed to fight on the sea could only shrink into this small river and push the boat with brute force.
