Pillars of the Wu family

Chapter 121 Stupid Dongchang

Noguchi Fuyuunaga has been trying his best to prove his ability, so when the death of Juhe Yicun happened, he immediately seized the opportunity to take the initiative to fight, and patted his chest to express that he would kill all the Yodogawa people. At that time, he was also hesitating about this matter. He knew the ability of this concubine brother very well, and it was not a big deal to wipe out the navy. Miyoshi Changqing only said to send troops immediately, not to say that Anzhai Dongkang sent troops immediately, he was also happy to have someone Take over.

Toyasu Ataka has always been in charge of the Awaji navy to control the maritime control of Osaka Bay and the eastern part of Setouchi. It is his top priority to prevent the Mishima navy from Iyo's direction from making trouble, and to suppress Kii's navy. Japan still has to control maritime taxation, dealing with various forces is really busy, and it is true that Awaji Oshima cannot be separated. Moreover, it is not difficult to clean up the inland water army like the Yodogawa people. As long as you are careful, you should be able to complete it smoothly. .

So Toyunaga Noguchi called Noguchi Toyunaga, and persuaded him to be careful, as long as the rebellious Yodogawa navy was wiped out, he would withdraw in time. It would be a waste to stay in the harbor of Awaji and not go out. Taking the five Ataka boats out for a trip can also show off the military power of the Miyoshi family.

Naturally, there is no reason to refuse this kind of suggestion. Toyasu Antaka naturally has no reason to refuse. All the requirements he put forward can be met, so there is this armed parade dispatched by five Antaka boats. When the Awaji Navy set off, the Kira Navy also Anxiously waiting.

The originally discussed strategy was to wait for the Awaji Navy to penetrate the lone Awaji Navy and then launch an attack from the rear. This way, they could be taken down in one fell swoop. After formulating the tactics, the question arose, who would be the bait? ?Those who act as bait are afraid that the chance of survival is slim.

All the ministers are hesitant, knowing that the bait is likely to be a tragedy, there are not many people who dare to take it. At this moment, the most unexpected person stands up and expresses his willingness to take up this important task. He is the leader of the Yodogawa Sanemon, No matter how incomprehensible his companion was, he still stood up.

After the military meeting ended, Yodogawa Sanemon found Yoshiki Kira and expressed his wish: "I am willing to be the bait, if this campaign is successful! Please His Highness Kira take the dog as a retainer."

"Well, don't you want your son to continue to be the leader of the navy? My family understands!"

The next morning, the beacons and carrier pigeons for sending messages have been set up. The beacons of cow dung can be used to transmit the information of the battle in a short time. This is also the main source of information for the battle of Kira Yoshitoshi. The carrier pigeons may not have time to send out the letter. , only the beacon is the key to the outcome.

Noguchi Fuyunaga didn't know anything about this. He was unwilling to be lonely, but also a person with mediocre ability and general intelligence. When Miyoshi's family was accumulating talents, he didn't have a brother who could stand up to help him, so in terms of meritorious deeds After the award, he was kicked back to Awaji Island to be his vassal. He only felt that Miyoshi Changqing was ungrateful and ungrateful, but he didn't think that his level was too low to be reused. There are always people who can't recognize themselves in this world. .

At about ten o'clock in the morning on August [-], a huge fleet lined up and occupied the estuary of the Yodo River. Fifty meters ahead of them, there were dozens of mixed boats gathered together. The flags with the word "Yodogawa" are hung on the fleet, as if telling the world that they are the people of Yodogawa.

"Hahaha! Did you see that? That's the Yodogawa people! A group of mobs actually control the Yodogawa in Nuoda? It's incredible! Today, I will let me, Fuyucho Noguchi, show you what a real navy is! Chase!" Noguchi Fuyuga Sitting on the Anzhai boat in the middle, he waved his army with a chic movement, and issued a hunting order.

A retainer asked cautiously: "But the front is the tributary of Guichuan! Is there really no problem for the Anzhai boat to go in?"

Fuyucho Noguchi was very dissatisfied with his opponent's retainers and shouted: "Do as I tell you! I should have forgotten that I, Fuyucho Noguchi, is the general!"

"Yes!" Several retainers retreated tacitly, and after turning around, they all showed disdainful expressions, "What a fool!"

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

A rather old man patted the shoulders of the two of them and said in a low voice: "Okay! We are just retainers, so it is better to say a few words less! Let him issue military orders, and we just need to do our job well." Just fine!"

The fleet of Yodogawa seems to be deliberately luring the pursuit of the Awaji Navy. Whenever the distance between the two is far away, they will slow down and wait. This fishing tactic successfully angered Noguchi Fuyunaga, and immediately ordered to catch up no matter what. The Yodogawa people, after chasing and fleeing, they soon came to the mouth of the Katsura River, and further ahead was a tributary of the Kamo River that flows through Kyoto. The narrow river and shallow water are not suitable for large ships.

The Awaji sailors raised doubts again, but they were all rejected by the confident Noguchi Fuyunaga. His reason was simple: "Driving the Anzhai boat outside the city of Kyoto can deter the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty. Compared with it, it is a bit risky." What's the risk!"

The Awaji sailors looked at each other and smiled wryly. They could only walk to the dark with the stupid and bold general. Noguchi Fuyuga’s self-confidence did not last long. The Ataka boat was different from the light and light Guan boat. However, the river is narrow and difficult to move, so the Guan boat and Xiaozao can only pursue it first, so that the Anzhai boat has completely become a dragging existence.

But once the Seki ship is allowed to continue chasing, the formation of the fleet will be out of line, and the Awaji navy raised doubts again. This time, Noguchi Fuyucho did not dare to make a random decision. He is always at a disadvantage in offshore combat, but this advantage becomes a disadvantage when it comes to shallow water tributaries. The hull is too large and cannot turn well. Waiting in the broad Katsura River became a problem.

When the Awaji Marines were caught in a dilemma, Noguchi Fuyucho really did not live up to everyone's expectations, and once again made a rash and decisive decision: "Move on!"

Ever since the fleet of Yodogawa flags was discovered on the main stream of the Yodogawa, the Awaji navy has been chasing after them, and soon entered the depths of the Kamogawa. Noguchi Fuyucho probably didn't read the battle report carefully, and he didn't know the situation of the Kamogawa. The deep grass valley on the east bank is exactly the place where his fierce brother Shihe Yi lived the last time.

Noguchi Nagamune, who is the same family and deputy general, raised a new objection: "This river is getting narrower and narrower, and it is really not suitable for continuing to move forward. We should turn back now!"

"Hey! Changzong, don't say such depressing words! We are going to Kyoto soon. Wouldn't it be a waste of opportunity to go back now? If we want to retreat, we have already retreated, and now we can't retreat no matter what!" Noguchi Fuyunaga no longer cares about the objections , The order has been sent out, isn't it self-sufficient to mention it now?Will he still be in the Awaji Navy after Noguchi Fuyucho?

So he not only ordered to continue the pursuit, but also refused the suggestion to let the Anzhai ship stay where it was and wait for orders. The situation was still able to keep moving forward, but their good luck was quickly used up, and they got stuck in a quagmire not far from the city of Kyoto. The bank ran aground.

The Awaji sailors reported helplessly that the two ships had run aground. It would be impossible to get him out for a while. Noguchi Fuyucho could no longer keep calm, and quickly got out of the safe and stuffy cabin and stood on the top of the ship. He jumped on the deck and shouted: "Bastard! How did you get stuck in it! Quickly find a way to get the boat out!"

"Yes!" The Awaji sailors were also full of resentment. They paddled vigorously under the sun on a hot day, and some people jumped off the boat and swam to the river bank to try to push the boat. Huddled in this small river and pushed the boat with brute force, the encounter in life is really amazing.
