604 Mutation 1

Before November arrived, the follow-up troops of the China Fusang Expeditionary Force arrived.

Feng Sanhu changed the previous practice of field troops, reserves and militias being organized separately, with the field troops as the core, and directly filled most of the reserves and militias into various established units and formed combat groups.

The new Fuso Expeditionary Force formed a total of twelve battle groups, of which the first to tenth battle groups each had a mixture of 1,000 people, infantry, cannon, cavalry, and engineers.

The 11th battle group was a private slave brought by the reserve and militia. These people had no guns and only cold weapons, so they were marshalled separately.

The 12th battle group was the Marine Corps and the Ashore Sailors.

Not to count the Navy, Feng Sanhu's army has exceeded 12,000 troops.

It is expected that more troops will arrive in one month, including more than 20,000 local soldiers, almost 2,000 Soren tribe soldiers, at least 10,000 foreign Korean Goryeo soldiers and 1,000 foreign Ryukyu soldiers.

Among the local allies in Fuso, there are more than 30,000 Maori and Ryuzoji soldiers. The Nagatomoto family and Shimazu family, who finally ended their swings and agreed to join the coalition, can provide more than 10,000 soldiers, all of which are more than 40,000 soldiers, and 50,000 soldiers are slightly insufficient.

In terms of force alone, even if it is not considered to be subsequent reinforcements, the 60,000 army is enough to surpass any strategic group of the Oda Army, not to mention the combat power advantages brought by the firepower gap.

At present, Feng Sanhu faces the main enemy that is entrenched in Miyazu Castle in the Tango region (Feng Sanhu doesn't quite understand why the Fusang people can divide the 66 countries with such a small territory. He feels that writing the record of conquering the six Fusang countries since the beginning of the war seems too false in the war report, so he just calls the Fusang country the region).

Information shows that the group should currently have about 40,000 soldiers. The previously defeated Hideyoshi Hashiba should have fled to Tango and gathered the defeated troops there, preparing to defend the coalition forces with Hosokawa to defend the next offensive.

In addition, there is Oda Jun Akihimi-shui Group in Kameyama Castle in Tanba area; Itami in the Photon area has Ikeda Hokkaido Group; Osaka Nagahikawa Group; and Tokugawa Ieyasu Group, the Sakaigang in Waizumi area has Oda's hardcore ally.

Except for the Takigawa Ichie Group on the Eastern Front who stayed in Ueno to fight Hojo and the Shibata Katsuya Group on the Vietnamese region to fight Uesugi, the Oda Army concentrated all its main forces on the Western Front and prepared to resist the coalition's attack.

However, nearly 300,000 troops gathered on both sides. When the decisive battle was about to begin, the Oda army suddenly changed.

On the second day of November, Akichi Mitsuhide, a general of the Oda army and one of the four kings of Oda, suddenly launched a mutiny and commanded 15,000 soldiers under his command to surround the Kyoto Honnoji Temple where Oda Nobunaga settled.

At that time, Oda Nobunaga had only a few hundred guards around him, so naturally he was not the opponent of Akichi Mitsuhide, who had tens of thousands of troops. In the end, Oda Nobunaga committed suicide in Honnoji.

After killing Oda Nobunaga, Akichi Mitsuhide continued to attack, and Oda Nobunaga's eldest son Nobunaga committed suicide in Nijo Imperial Hall near Honnoji Temple.

No one knows why Akechi Mitsuhide suddenly rebelled, but because of the betrayal of the general, the Oda Army lost the Supreme Commander and his first heir at the same time. This is already a fact.

Before Feng Sanhu and the coalition responded to this sudden incident, the Oda Army's western front troops, Hideyoshi Hashiba, Hosakawa Fujitaka, Hiroki Ikeda and Hirohide Ninoha, joined forces and brought Oda Nobunaga's second son, Nobuo Oda and Nobuo Oda from the front line and headed towards Kyoto to try to pacify Akichi Mitsuhide's rebels.

Feng Sanhu didn't expect that things would suddenly turn out like this. Nearly 200,000 enemy troops suddenly disappeared from the front line, and all the enemies were rushing toward their own capital, as if the coalition forces did not exist at all.

Hua Jun did not quite understand this Fusang-style thinking, but the local Fusang people did not have this problem.

After the Oda army withdrew, the believers of the Yixianzong raised a large-scale army and reoccupied their former hometown, Osaka.

Members of the coalition forces such as Maori, Ryuzakuji also hope to advance as soon as possible and participate in the glutinous feast of dividing the Oda.

This is indeed a feast, but not everyone can serve it.

On the fifth day of November, Feng Sanhu completed the formation of the Expeditionary Force and ordered a new attack.

Among them, the army attacked the three regions of Tanhou, Tanba and Sejin, and the Navy landed directly from Sakai Port.

The remaining Oda army did not resist, and all four areas were occupied by the coalition forces.

But then, four Chinese combat groups (three army and navy) suddenly entered Osaka. All the leaders of Yixiangsen, who occupied Osaka, were arrested, and their subordinate armed forces were disarmed.

The remaining believers of Yixiangzong immediately broke out in an anti-China rebellion. Maori Hiromoto, an important ally of Yixiangzong, pleaded with Feng Sanhu, hoping to pardon the Yixiangzong and return Osaka to Yixiangzong. In exchange, he was willing to let Huaxia choose the Three Kingdoms to occupy it in Oda territory.

Feng Sanhu was very puzzled by Maori Huiyuan's proposal. He did not understand why Maori believed that the Chinese army needed his consent to occupy the land in Fusang.

Therefore, Feng Sanhu refused to pardon the main leader of Yixiangzong. On the tenth day of November, all the senior leaders of Yixiangzong who were arrested by the Chinese army were executed without any trial.

This incident triggered a direct confrontation between the Chinese army and its Fuso allies. The Maori army, Ryuzoji army, Nagatomoi army and Shimazu army gave up on the attack, and nearly 50,000 troops formed a confrontation with the Chinese army entrenched in the Osaka, Sakaigang, and Awaji triangular areas.

The battle situation in Fusang once again turned sharply. After the civil strife of the Oda Army, the coalition forces also quickly formed a division, and the battle between the Chinese army and the Fusang coalition forces was about to break out.

From November 12 to 13, the Hashishima army and the Meiji army broke out in a decisive battle at the Yamazaki Generation near Tenno Mountain. Oda's old minister, who had an absolute advantage in military strength, won. On November 15, Oda's traitor Akitomi Mitsuhide committed suicide by seducing his stomach.

In theory, the civil strife in Oda should end here, but of course the facts would not be so simple.

Since Oda Nobunaga and his eldest son were both dead, the Oda army after attacking Akichi Mitsuhide quickly split into the Hashiba Hideyoshi, Nishiba Nagahide, Ikeda Hokkai, and Takigawa Ichiii, who supported Oda Nobunaga's third son Oda Nobunaga's third son Oda Nobunaga's Ironagi Ikeda Katsuya, and Takigawa Ichii.

On the other hand, the confrontation between the coalition forces continued, with 50,000 Fuso troops surrounding Osaka and Sakai Port, and refused to continue to provide food and labor supplies to Feng Sanhu's troops.

At the same time, another about 20,000 Fusang troops quietly surrounded and blocked the Chinese loaned Nagasaki.
