Chapter 438: The Island Nation is Shocked Again and Again

Before the various forces that were ready to fight could launch a righteous attack on the Oda family, the main island was shaken again.

If the main island were to become feminine, the vibration frequency would be enough to spray Mount Fuji up and down and create a wave.

The reason why the main island shook again was that the coalition led by the Amago family actually announced an alliance with the Oda family.

After hearing this, everyone was stunned. After all, everyone could see that the Oda family's previous declaration of war on Honganji was simply seeking death, but there were people willing to follow suit.

Moreover, the coalition forces of the Amago clan and the Oda clan are located on the left and right of Kyoto. If they really join forces, the effect will not be as simple as one plus one. It is really possible to capture Kyoto.

As for the fact that both sides declared war on Honganji instead of Kyoto, this is just something to hear about and few people take it seriously.

There is no benefit in attacking Honganji except offending the Buddhists, and taking the opportunity to capture Kyoto is what all daimyo dream of in their lifetime. Otherwise, why were the Oda family not so active when they had fought many wars with Buddhism before?

The Takeda clan, located on the other side of Kyoto, was very angry about the behavior of the Amago clan and immediately applied to enter Kyoto to garrison troops to ensure that no rioters or mobs could get close, but was ruthlessly rejected.

Even if the island nation has not yet been trained by the godfather, it knows what garrisoning means, so there is no way it would allow the Takeda family to come in.

Before the Takeda family could make another effort to go to Kyoto, bah, to protect the emperor, in everyone's astonishment and the island girl's continuous shock, the coalition led by the Mori family declared war on the Uesugi family. The mysterious and wealthy Moroboshi family was not willing to be left out and directly declared war on the Takeda family.

As a result, almost the entire main island was in a state of war, and it all depended on when Oda Nobunaga, the fuse, would detonate it.

In Owari Castle, Oda Nobunaga, wearing exquisite Nanban plate armor sent by the Moroboshi family, was wiping the gilded musket in his hand with great interest, ignoring the retainers and samurai kneeling outside the castle tower.

These people have been persuading Oda Nobunaga to take back his decision, but they don't know that all this is arranged by fate. Even though he is just an important role in it, it is not easy to stop it, so they simply don't bother to pay attention.

After loading the ammunition, he raised his gun, pointed it at the yard and pulled the trigger without hesitation. With a gunshot, the hot bullet flew over the heads of the kneeling retainers and accurately hit the frightened deer that was catching the water. The bamboo tube was shattered instantly, and then Oda Nobunaga's triumphant laughter was heard.

The retainers and samurai who were almost scared to death by the gunshots were filled with hatred, but they could do nothing about it.

The current Oda Nobunaga is no longer the same as when he first came to power. Under his leadership, the Oda family has become several times stronger than before, and their treatment is much better. In the minds of the lower-level soldiers and samurai, he is a synonym for wisdom and bravery, and they can no longer do whatever they want.

Therefore, even if Oda Nobunaga declared war on Honganji, they could only persuade him to change his mind in a tactful way.

"Everyone, listen up. Each of you lead your troops to collect weapons, armor and food. Three days later, we will march towards Ishiyama Honganji Temple in Kyoto together with the allied forces of the Amago clan!" Oda Nobunaga threw the gun to Mori Ranmaru, stood at the door with his hands on his hips, and directly ordered the retainers and samurai who were kneeling in front of him to start the war.

The retainers and warriors of the Oda family looked at each other in bewilderment. They had come to ask their lord to take back his decision before because his decision was to make the whole world an enemy and there was no chance of winning. But now...
It’s not that they don’t understand, it’s that the world is changing too fast
Suddenly, there are three powerful allies. Even if they are enemies of the world, what does it matter? Especially since they are the closest to Kyoto. When the three allies are involved in other forces, if the Oda family takes the opportunity to attack Kyoto.
After thinking of this possibility, the retainers and samurai of the Oda family could not help but become hot both physically and mentally, because it was so tempting.

"Hi!"

In any case, Oda Nobunaga made sure his order was carried out. The desperate Oda family gathered 15,000 soldiers and horses, all equipped with armor and cannons. After eating a hearty meal of rice balls, they immediately set out for the place that all daimyo longed for, Kyoto.

As soon as the Oda family set out, the coalition forces of the Amago clan followed closely behind, and the army was divided into two. While resisting the third coalition army led by the Tayama clan and the Rokkaku clan, it also sent an elite force straight to Kyoto to help the Oda family draw away a large number of enemy troops.

At the same time, the Mori family's navy joined forces with the second Fukushima to form a huge fleet to attack the Uesugi family, forcing the other side to withdraw its expeditionary troops to resist the Mori family's joint fleet.

The main reason is that the Uesugi family's coastline is too long, requiring a large number of troops to be deployed. Even so, there are loopholes everywhere, and they appear to be quite passive under the attack of the Mori family's navy.
Immediately afterwards, Yan Xu personally led the army of the Moroboshi family to attack the Takeda family, and the entire island country was immediately plunged into war.

The daimyo of the Takeda family was Takeda Shingen, who was known as the "Tiger of Kai" and was praised as the "greatest general of the Warring States Period" and the "greatest military strategist of the Warring States Period."

No matter how much water there is in it, Takeda Shingen is indeed capable and daring in fighting, and especially likes to take the initiative. Therefore, he immediately raised the flag of Sun Tzu's Four True Words and took the initiative to assemble a large army to fight.

The Takeda family's army was indeed elite, especially the Koshu cavalry clad in red armor. Under the leadership of the Takeda family's famous generals, they were swift as the wind, powerful as fire, and extremely aggressive, earning them a great reputation.

However, although cavalry is good, it is not suitable for advancing deep into the enemy's territory alone, especially deep into the enemy's territory. After all, once surrounded by a large army and losing speed, the end is certain death. Not to mention that the island country is mountainous and the roads are rugged, so the cavalry has little room to maneuver.

However, Takeda Shingen was very confident in his cavalry, so he sent out all his cavalry without hesitation, directly targeting the central army of the Moroboshi family, determined to defeat the Moroboshi family in one fell swoop.

Takeda Shingen was not unaware of the danger, but he had no choice but to do it.

Although it was the first time that Takeda Shingen fought against the Moroboshi family, he knew that this was a strong enemy just by looking at him.

The soldiers of the Zhuxing family were fully equipped with armor and their morale was high. Even when they were marching, they were extremely strict and there was no disorganization at all. Their strict training and military discipline made him feel a chill in his heart and he dared not underestimate them in the slightest.

The enemy is so powerful that heavy casualties are inevitable once a head-on battle breaks out, which is extremely unfavorable to the Takeda family's subsequent strategy. Therefore, Takeda Shingen chooses to let the cavalry leave the main camp and risk a surprise attack, hoping to disrupt the opponent's military momentum, and then take the opportunity to press forward with the main army to win.

In ancient times, morale was the most important thing in fighting a war. No matter what situation they faced, as long as the morale was good, they would have the strength to fight. Therefore, the central army must not be in chaos, especially the commander's flag. Not to mention being taken away, even shaking would cause unrest among their own soldiers. Therefore, Takeda Shingen's decision was not wrong, and this decision did catch the Moroboshi family off guard.
