Roman Empire of Total War

Courage arises in struggle, and courage is cultivated in the tenacious resistance to difficulties every day; the proverb of our youth is to be brave, tenacious, and firm, that is, to remove all obstacles.

——Nikola Ostrovsky (Soviet writer)

The coalition formed by the Oda family and the Tokugawa family paid a very heavy price to capture the Awaji that they regarded as a forbidden one; after a short rest, the Oda and Tokugawa coalition forces who were preparing to march to Awa could be put into battle Has a total strength of less than 150,000.

The limited capacity of the Nine Ghost Marines can transport up to 30,000 foot-lights at a time, because these 30,000 landing light-footed must also carry enough food and fresh water to ensure that they will not fall into grain and water shortages after landing in Apo Dilemma.

After leaving the port of Awaji, the mighty Nine Ghosts sailed all the way west to Awa Port. Without the impediment of the Shimadzu Army, the Nine Ghosts sailed exceptionally smoothly; until they came to the sea outside Awa Port, They only discovered that the port of Apo was destroyed.

Knowing that his family's navy is better than Shizuzu's family who is better than nothing, the first thing he did after heading for Abo was to completely destroy the port of Apo, so that the navy of the Oda family could not land at Apo.

If there is no port available for use, if the Nine Ghost Marines want to send the fully loaded 30,000 Oda Army to the shore, it will not be an easy task; if you land directly on the beach, the landing speed will be very slow The Shimadzu defenders in Apo will also have an opportunity.

Some embarrassed Jiugui Jialong drifted on the sea for three days, and finally after Takigawa Yiyi ordered it himself, he agreed to choose a suitable beach for landing; the Jiugui Marines had just landed, and they were waiting for it. The Shimadzu army also acted.

The Shimadzu light cavalry who had been cruising near the coastline of Apo, and found the intention of the Nine Ghost Marines to land, immediately returned to the Shimadzu battalion and reported the situation of the Oda Army’s upcoming landing to the anxiously waiting. Shimadzu is a long time.

Knowing the specific place where the Oda Army landed, the decisive Shimadzu family stayed in the camp for ten thousand just in case, and he personally led 30,000 directly to the beach; wait for him to rate When the army rushed to the beach, the Oda Army that was landing had already landed two or three thousand.

With Shizuzu's order, the warlike Tosa Samurai and Yiyu Ashikaru took their solemnity and rushed to those Oda military troops who had just landed a short time ago; Oda hurried to fight The army was crushed by Shimadzu after the battle.

The Shimadzu army of five thousand attacked the Oda Army with only two or three thousand foot light, which was originally an unequal engagement with a strong attack; coupled with the foot light of the Oda Army, it had been drifting on the sea for many days. Soft legs and soft feet are inevitable, and the gap between the two sides in combat is even greater.

It was difficult to organize an effective defense of the Oda Army. After a fierce attack by the Shimadzu Army, it resisted for more than half an hour, and finally the Shimadzu Army of the offensive was defeated; this made the Oda Army generals who were still landing. , Had to give up their continued landing.

The swift attack of Shimadzu Kakusho's army made the landing of Oda Army in Awa just like a snakehead; after unwilling to withdraw from the army, Takigawa had benefited, and after consulting with the nine ghost Kalong, he decided to choose another three countries in Hokkaido Log in at a suitable location.

In addition to the Awa Kingdom that failed to land, the four countries of Hokkaido also have the three countries of Toki, Tosa, and Iyo; among these three countries, the closest to Apo is the Toki State, the farthest is the Iyo State, and the longest coastline is the Tosa State.

Among the three countries, Takigawa Yiyi and Jiugui Jialong finally chose the Tosa country with the longest coastline; in fact, at this time, the Tosa country and the Iyo country have ten thousand Shimadzu troops stationed in each country. The Oda and Tokugawa coalition forces waiting to land were only strong.

The landing of the army of Takigawa Ieki’s Ministry in Tosuo was not as unsuccessful as in Awa, but it also ended in failure; because Takigawa Ii’s choice of landing site this time was that Tosukuni was not Destroyed port.

The Shimadzu army stationed in the port was only four or five hundred, and it was not an opponent of the Oda Army. The Oda Army, who forcibly attacked the port, almost destroyed the Shimadzu army in the port at no cost. Tian Jun began to board the port continuously.

When the Oda Army made time to land, the main force of the Shimadzu Army, not far from the port, quickly killed the port; the Oda Army, who experienced a failed landing, was very careful this time. In the face of Shimadzu's counterattack, he was also prepared.

The general of the Oda Army, Takagawa Yiyi, still underestimated the combat power of Tosa Samurai and Iyo Asaka; the Shimadzu Corps, which was built with Tosa Samurai and Iyo Asaka as the core, demonstrated morale and combat power. Shocking.

Iyo, who is dead in battle, likes to charge the samurai warriors, and there are two main pillars of bravery and warfare. The Shimadzu new army, which is still short in time, is not a strong army, but it has not enough strength to fight. Oda Army is relaxed and happy.

The more than five thousand Oda Army troops who boarded the port were of great importance. With the help of three thousand Tokugawa army forces, they couldn’t stop the Shimadzu Army’s attack. The Shimadzu Army, which did not have a strong force, spent a whole day. It took time to defeat the Oda and Tokugawa Allied forces that landed ashore.

With the increasing importance of landing on the shore, the original coalition forces of Oda and Tokugawa still had a glimmer of hope; but the coming of night gave Oda and Tokugawa allied forces the most fatal blow, and night blindness was common The coalition forces of Oda and Tokugawa could not fight night battles at all!

The Shimadzu army, which can also not fight night battles, has Tosa Samurai and Iyoru who can fight night battles; in the rush of nearly 100 Tosa samurai and thousands of Iyoru, the Oda and Germany that cannot be seen by the enemy The Sichuan Coalition Army failed again for a long time before defeating the whole army again.

Two consecutive failed landings, so that Takagawa Yiyi, who only brought 30,000 coalition soldiers, lost tens of thousands of weight; watching the remaining 20,000 soldiers with low morale under his command, I knew that Takikawa I was hopeless to land. Yi, had to let Nine Ghosts Jialong turn around and return to Awaji.

The capture of Awaji is the contribution of Takigawa, and the loss of landing is the benefit of Takigawa. After returning to Awaji, Takigawa, who has both merits and demerits, will send his merits to this time. The family supervisor in Kyoto reports.

In addition to sending people to report their merits and demerits to the family governor, Takigawa Yiyi also deployed a secret mission to his confidant, that is, to ask the family governor whether to continue to march on Nankai Road; The attitude of Nanhaidao has always been neither in favor nor against it, but the loss of soldiers twice in a row has made him lose confidence in this kind of offense with a low chance of winning.

After all, Hokkaido is not the traditional sphere of influence of the Oda family. As long as Awaji is controlled by the Oda family, the Hokkaido alliance occupying Hokkaido will not pose a direct threat to the Oda family; and the Oda family at this stage is really There is not much power that can be consumed by a potential threat.
