Chapter 833: The Oda Family's Ironclad Fleet Goes Out Again
As the violent overage pseudo-Lori Oda Nobuko said, although the situation on Kyushu Island is at a stalemate at the moment, it is only a matter of time before it is said.
What is attacking on Kyushu Island now is basically all the Otomo family military formations of Otomo Sorin, as well as a small part of the second echelon of the Oda family.
Whether it is the ironclad fleet of the Nine Ghosts Yoshitaka, or the Oda Ghost Army directly under Wang Tianxie and Oda Nobuko, they have not yet made a move against Kyushu Island.
Not to mention the introduction of rice, sweet potatoes, and corn, the repair of water conservancy projects, the construction of roads, and the reform of the separation of soldiers and peasants...... After a series of measures, the number of people in the second echelon of the Oda family has already exceeded 200,000.
Leaving aside the members of the second echelon who need to stay in various places to maintain law and order, the number of members of the second echelon who can go to assist Otomo Sorin, is at least more than 50,000.
Otomo Sorin's complaint about this is not very good.
Both he and the old man Tachibana Michiyuki know very well that if only the supplies and supplies of soldiers rely on the Oda family, the status of the Otomo family will definitely not be low after the unification of Kyushu Island, otherwise it is unreasonable.
However, if even the military generals need the Oda family, Otomo Sorin's position as the chief general is bound to be lost. As a result, the Otomo family will definitely fall into a very embarrassing situation after unifying Kyushu Island in the future.
It's just that Otomo Sorin's don't know that there is another layer of intention behind Oda Nobuko's doing.
Only by letting the Otomo family gain a firm foothold on Kyushu Island, can Nobuko Oda let Tachibana Chiyo, the legitimate Lori with an otome heart, meaningfully succeed as the head of the Otomo family.
In other words, Kyushu Island will be the territory of the Otomo family in the future no matter what, which requires Otomo Sorin's hard work.
In this way, this game of chess of Oda Nobuko will play the best cost-effective.
Unfortunately, the idea was perfect. But if you really want to do it, there will always be unexpected changes.
"Report! Basilica! An envoy from the Otomo family came to visit! ”
Early the next morning after Oda Nobuko and Wang Tianyi returned to Okayo Castle, Moriranmaru ran out of the dormitory to say a loud message.
"Emissary? Ranmaru, arrange for that messenger to go to the study, and I will come with the heavenly evil in a moment. Oda Nobuko smiled and commanded after listening to Moran Maru's words.
After Moranmaru said yes loudly and left. Wang Tianxicai smiled and took a women's samurai uniform, and said beautifully, "I took off your clothes yesterday, and I will naturally help you put them on today!" "The ground dressed Oda Nobuko.
Although Oda Nobuko has long been accustomed to this, when Wang Tianxie helped her get dressed, her hands were so unruly that she said that she wanted to bite.
The target, of course, is a certain "evil ghost" pillow person who constantly eats his own tofu by "dressing himself".
"Yoshihiro Kanri, a retainer of the Otomo family, has seen the General's Hall and His Royal Highness the Heavenly Evil."
When Nobuko Oda and Wang Tianxi walked into the study one after the other, a middle-aged uncle knelt on the wooden floor covered with tatami mats and saluted.
"Yoshihiro, when you come to Gangfeng City, you must have something important to tell you, right?" Nobuko Oda first asked the other party to sit up. Then ask after opening.
"Tell the main hall, Takahashi Shaoyun defected, and now he is out of the Shimazu family." Yoshihiro Kanri hurriedly bowed down and answered, while secretly looking at Wang Tianxi, who was sitting next to Oda Nobuko, with the corner of his eyes.
Takahashi Shoyun ran to the Shimazu family, which was definitely a shame for the Otomo family. But it was Wang Tianxie and Oda Nobuko who brought Takahashi Shaoyun this shame.
Of course, Yoshihiro Kanri would definitely not dare to put the responsibility for Takahashi Shaoyun's defection on Oda Nobuko and Wang Tianxi.
"I'm out of the Shimazu family. What did Yoshihisa Shimazu say? Nobuko Oda asked curiously, the corners of her mouth curled.
"Tell the main hall that Shimazu Yoshihisa made him the chief general. Deal with all the battles against my Otomo's family. Yoshihiro said with his head bowed.
Yoshihiro Kanri only felt that his scalp was numb, and he was covered in cold sweat, and the general's smile was so terrible, that smile was like the evil ghost of the Santugawa.
Although Oda Nobuko has worked very hard to control his ghost qi, the power of Shata Evil Beauty, the head of the three ghost emperors of the ghost and demon clans, is so easy to absorb and control.
At the moment when she heard Takahashi Saun's defection just now, Oda Nobuko almost went away in a rage.
If it weren't for Wang Tianxie's hand, he gently placed it behind Oda Nobuko. The milky white ghost qi entered Oda Nobuko's body endlessly, and I am afraid that Okatoyo Castle would be destroyed by Oda Nobuko just now.
"In other words, after Takahashi Shaoyun entered the office, the Shimazu family will know the habits of the Otomo army's marching formation?" Wang Tianxie asked while calming the ghost qi in the riot in Oda Nobuko's body.
"Yes! I'm so sorry! Yoshihiro Kanri hurriedly knelt on the ground again and replied.
It was Nobuko Oda who made him feel like he was now. Like a frog being watched by a poisonous snake, I felt an indescribable oppression all over my body.
"In that case, what does Sorin-sama want my Oda family to do?" Wang Tianxie gently swept Oda Nobuko's back and smiled at her and said.
Anyway, Yoshihiro Kanri is now buried in the ground, no matter what he does, Yoshihiro Kanri will not know.
"Your Highness the Heavenly Evil, if you can let ...... You can let the Oda Navy and the next army array go out at the same time......" Yoshihiro Kanri listened to Wang Tianxie's words, and hurriedly replied with a face full of shame.
This is tantamount to telling Oda Nobuko and Wang Tian that the Otomo family is no longer able to fulfill the Oda family's orders on their own.
"Hmm...... Let the Nine Ghosts Jialong come out? Oda Nobuko glanced at Wang Tianxie and whispered to herself.
"Hey! I'm really sorry. Yoshihiro Kanri's head touched the wooden tatami floor and said with a shudder.
"Okay...... Ten days to prepare for Otomo Sorin, ten days later, in the early morning, the ironclad fleet of the Nine Ghosts Jialong went into battle. Oda Nobuko said after thinking about it.
"I will let the Nine Ghosts Jialong block the waters of South Kyushu Island, and then bombard it with a large cylinder, and in two hours it will be your turn to go out." Nobuko Oda continued without waiting for Yoshihiro Kanri.
"Hey! The orders of the general will be reported to the head of the family under the general, and the general mobilization will be completed within ten days. Yoshihiro quickly replied loudly.
In this troubled era of the Warring States, anyone who has seen the daimyo and military generals of the ironclad fleet under the Nine Ghosts Yoshitaka is shocked and trembling that the Oda family has such an amazing naval army.
This is also the biggest reason why Otomo Sorin would rather take the family to kneel down and submit to the Oda family than call the generals to fight against the Oda family.
Ten days is a long time, but it is absolutely fleeting for everyone who is fighting for their future.
"Boom ......"
"Boom ......"
"Boom ......"
……
The roar of the large cylinder is separated by the waterway between Kyushu Island and Shikoku Island, and it is transmitted to Kurose Castle, a port town facing Kyushu Island on Shikoku Island.
"Oh, it's already started! Presumably, this troubled world is almost over! Oda Nobuko stood on the top floor of the Kurose Castle Tower and muttered to herself as she listened to the frequent roar of large cylinders coming from the sea outside the harbor.
Wang Tianxie didn't say anything, just gently hugged Oda Nobuko's waist and stood on the lookout with her, waiting for the return of the ironclad fleet of the Nine Ghosts Yoshitaka.
As early as two days ago, the two arrived at the port of Kurose Castle with a certain legal Lori known as "Chikuzen White Plum", along with military generals such as Moran Marumu, Maeda Toshiie, Maeda Keiji, and Takenaka Hanbei.
Although Otomo Sorin's did not seek support from the Oda family, the 10,000 Oda ghost army under the command of Oda Nobuko and Wang Tianxie had already settled in Kurose Castle five days ago, and could cross the waterway and land on Kyushu Island at any time.
Two hours of roaring, for this Warring States troubled era of various calibers, really can't shoot too many lead shots.
However, if you want to destroy the Shimazu family's castle on the southern coast of Kyushu Island, it is definitely more than enough. Wang Tianxie and Oda Nobuko were separated by the distant sea, and they could even see black smoke rising and spreading into the air.
"Heavenly evil, let the ghost army prepare, in case anything happens to the big friend's family, it will be our turn." Nobuko Oda said as she looked at the black smoke that kept drifting into the sky, and frowned.
Nobuko Oda has always had a keen sense of the battlefield. In an instant, an ominous premonition appeared in her heart without warning.
"Sister-sama, my sister wants ......to go too," Oda Nobuko had just finished speaking, when a certain legal Lori, who was also standing next to her, spoke.
"Well, it's okay, Chiyo, you follow behind the Heavenly Evil and me, just don't fall behind. Hanbei, Kurose Castle is in charge of you. Oda Nobuko nodded at first, and then instructed the Takenaka half-guard.
"Imperial Will!" Takenaka Hanbei hurriedly replied loudly, and watched Oda Nobuko, Wang Tianxi, and Tachibana Chiyo leave the castle tower lookout.
The Nine Ghosts Jialong did not take away the entire ironclad fleet, except for the largest "Nine Ghost Ships" as the flagship, only five large ships and all medium and small ships were taken away.
Therefore, an hour later, Wang Tianxi, Oda Nobuko, and Tachibana Chiyo were already standing on the deck of one of the large ships.
"Brother Heavenly Evil, the battleships of the Southern Barbarians are really powerful!"
When Tachibana Chiyo arrived on deck, she was very curious about everything on the ironclad, especially standing on the deck and looking down at the sea, which made her extremely excited.
Although it was not the first time she had stepped on deck, and even the largest Nine Ghost Ship had ever been on it, she was still amazed by every position of the Ironclad.
"I can't see it, Chiyo also likes the ship's mother...... Oh, no, it's a troll. Wang Tianxie watched this legal loli running around on the deck, looking at this side for a while, touching that side for a while, and suddenly felt a little crying and laughing.
"No, Chiyo prefers iron cannons to ironclad ships." A certain legal loli who was touching a forty-eight-pound cylinder turned her head to look at Wang Tian with a smile. (To be continued......)
