Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    With 9,000 against 10,000, the two wings of the Miyoshi Yixian Army were defeated in less than two hours after the battle began. More than 4,000 people were killed in succession. The loss of less than 1,000 was considered a very dazzling achievement, but the ones who came later  What should we do with fifteen thousand three good troops?  No matter how tough Kira Jun is, he is still a human being, not an omnipotent god. Even gods need to rest when they create the world, not to mention that flesh and blood bodies will always be exhausted.  The heat of July is unbearable, and the sun high in the sky is emitting terrible heat. It seems that the high temperature that burns away everything evaporates the water in the body little by little. After fighting in this harsh environment for most of the day, I feel thirsty and tired. Obviously,  We are no longer able to continue fighting, and if we continue to fight, we will definitely suffer large-scale losses.  "Rokkaku Sakyo has led his troops here!" Only then did the samurai see Rokkaku Yoshihide's figure. It was less than a mile from the west bank of the Kamogawa River. It took nearly two hours from landing to walking here. This ability  Not generally strong.  Mahui General Yamaoka Tokich¨­, who is responsible for the defense of this formation, has been standing there for most of the day. After hearing the news, he couldn't help but come over and said: "You must have seen Yoshihide Miyoshi start to retreat, and you want to come here to pick up some bargains, right?" Kira Yoshitoki  He glared at him and ignored this guy, and continued to give orders with a straight face: "Order everyone to gather their troops, move closer to the main formation, and leave the source of the Katsura River to the Rokkaku Army! Tell Rokkaku Sakyo-den that the main force of the Miyoshi Chikuzen garrison is ahead, please be sure  Withstand the attack!" Yamaoka was dumbfounded and asked hurriedly: "Let's eat where we are! Aren't you hungry after fighting for so long?" Kira.  Yoshitoki left Yamaoka Tokinaga in annoyance, and turned to the back of the formation, where Chiyome Mochizuki was holding an exquisite fish and rice bento.  See the white flesh of the fish.  Kira Yoshitsune frowned.  "I don't like to eat fish skin!" "This is not fish skin! Chiyome knows that Your Highness doesn't like fish skin. She scalded it repeatedly with boiling water. It is definitely different from fish skin! Your Highness, try Chiyome's craftsmanship!" Chiyome Mochizuki  He picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks and put it in front of his mouth. Kiragi looked around sheepishly and found that no one else was there to eat it in one bite.  "Hmm, there's soy sauce, vinegar, and wasabi? It's so pungent!" Kira Yoshitoki didn't like the taste of wasabi, but he had to eat it because Japan is a country that mainly eats fish, shrimp and other seafood.  Mustard has a strong detoxification function and can detoxify fish and crabs, so this eating habit has been formed in the Middle Ages.  Chiyome Mochizuki asked expectantly: "Your Highness! Is the bento made by Chiyome delicious?" "Wellexcept for a little too much wasabi, it's really good!" "Great! Great!" Chiyome Mochizuki was excited.  Jump up and jump around in circles several times.  Hattori Koshiro appeared at an untimely moment, lowered his head and said respectfully: "Master! Miyoshi Yoshihide's troops have retreated into the main formation of the Miyoshi Army. The Miyoshi Army has temporarily stopped attacking!" "Well! Tell Master, the meal is over.  The reserve team will go to clean the battlefield. Don't leave the spoils to the other side, and the navy must move quickly." Kira Yoshihi glanced at Hattori Koushiro.  He kept turning his eyes to Mochizuki Chiyome's little face, and then said thoughtfully: "And ask your uncle to come over to see me!" "Yes!" Hattori Koushiro quietly stepped back.  But a moment later, Hattori Masaki appeared at the place where Hattori Koushiro had been, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Master!" "Recruit those thirty kunoichi from the Momochi and Fujibayashi families! The sons of the chief have also arrived.  At the age of getting married, after the war, Hattori Yasumoto will marry Momochi Kaede, Hattori Yasumasa will marry Fujibayashi Taki, and Koushiro will also be married! How about letting Koshiro and Hattori Yashun find a marriage among the kunoichi?  "Get off!" "Yes!" "Forget about the married kunoichi. The remaining kunoichi will be handed over to Mochizuki Chiyoko. From now on, the defense work of our family will be handed over to them." At this point, Kira Yoshiki suddenly said to me.  Mochizuki Chiyome, who had a nervous face, smiled and continued: "And your interrogator continues to retain the official salary, and as the head of the family, he exercises the power to monitor the family. He is still only responsible for one person in the family." "Yes! I resign!"  Hattori Masakiyoshi disappeared quietly.  Mochizuki Chiyome looked at the disappearing Hattori Masaaki, hid the short sword at her waist, turned sideways and whispered: "This uncle's ninjutsu and stealth are so powerful! As soon as Chiyome discovered him, she had already arrived in front of His Highness!"  "Of course, he is the most powerful ninja in the Hattori family. His ability is on par with your uncle's. He can be regarded as a strong man as a jounin. Youyou should train for a few more years." "This is so powerful! Chiyome is still  I thought I could protect His Highness!" The idiot Loli fainted from the blow.  Ji Liangyi comforted him: "I'm notHave I given you the power of guarding?  Don't worry, no matter how powerful they are, you can't worry as much!  " "Why don't you worry as much as Chiyome?  " "Because you are an idiot!  "    "Eh?  How could Chiyome be an idiot?  "Idiot Loli held her head and showed a sad expression.  The high-intensity battle for most of the day brought great pressure to both sides. Miyoshi Yoshihide's troops were even defeated and almost collapsed. The soldiers who retreated not only  Tired, hungry, and having suffered a heavy blow from the collapse, their morale has dropped to freezing point. It is even worse than the victorious Kira Army, and it is completely unable to fight anymore. Miyoshi Nagakei seems to be listening to Miyoshi Yoshihide's advice, and it is possible.  It was seeing the addition of the Hexagon Army that brought the military strength of both sides to the same starting line. In short, this joint raid ultimately failed. The original purpose of landing across the Katsura River was achieved, but the price was too heavy, so Miyoshi Nagakei did not choose to continue the attack.  , both sides took advantage of every minute to eat and rest. Shoryuji Castle is located on the southwest bank of Katsura River. Due east is the confluence of Katsura River and Kamogawa River. To the southwest is Mount Tenno. Beyond Mount Tenno is the territory of Settsu Kingdom.  This has always been an important fortress guarding the import and export of Yamashiro Country. From the castle tower of Shoryuji Castle, you can clearly overlook the ships passing by on the Yodo River. After falling into the hands of the Miyoshi family, it also became the southern line surveillance and  Threatening Katsuragi and Kyoto, this city fell into the hands of the Miyoshi family. Because of Kira Yoshitoki's amazing performance of exchanging one thousand for four thousand, there was a rumor in the Miyoshi family that the Kira army was blessed by the gods.  Legend has it that the Mikawa samurai were so brave and skillful in battle, and their weapons and armor were so sophisticated that they were beyond imagination. This greatly shocked the samurai of the Miyoshi family. Thousands of Mikawa samurai wearing the same red and black uniforms could cut through cuts easily like a sharp knife.  The military formation must be the gods and Buddhas protecting the Kira family. "What rumors are these!  What went wrong underneath?  Why are there always negative rumors?  Find out who is spreading rumors!  "Mihao Changqing sent away his retainers angrily, rubbing his sore eyes and closing his eyes to rest. He only showed his tired posture when his brother was alone with him. "It's difficult!  It's really too difficult" He sighed as if he was telling the pain of many years: "Do you still remember the vows we four brothers made?  "Recalling his youthful days, Miyoshi Yoshihide's face showed a sad look: "Remember!  How could I forget!  Avenge your father!  This was our original ambition, and it was also the beginning of my brother joining the Hosokawa family" "What are we working so hard for?  For fame, wealth and power?  We already have these, a great position and many honors, what else do we need to ask for?  Isn¡¯t it just for the century-old foundation of our Sanhao family?  The Hosokawa family is extremely poor and weak, and Kinnei is no longer in a situation where the heroes are fighting. Isn't this a good opportunity given to my Miyoshi family by gods and Buddhas?  "Mihao Changqing's eyes were deep and his tone was a little more passionate. "Yes!  If you don¡¯t take what God gives you, you will suffer the consequences!  This is a great opportunity for my Miyoshi family, but it¡¯s a pity that Matashiro is dead otherwise we four brothers would gather together.  Who else can stop us?  " "I, Changqing, have always been concerned about Yi Cun's murder!  This time he defeated Kira's army and captured Kira Yoshi alive and imprisoned him in a temple.  Let him spend his whole life repenting for Yicun!  Miyoshi Changqing sneered, and after a moment he said: "Tell me about the situation of this Kirajun!"  Miyoshi Yixian analyzed calmly: "Yes, brother!"  The quality of Kira's army is no less than that of the Shikoku people in this formation, and it is even better equipped. In particular, that special army is very powerful in terms of morale and combat power. This is completely different from the intelligence that came back two years ago, but I don't know what this means.  What exactly has changed in two years?  "    "snort!  After losing so many people in two years and still not being able to get any useful information, those bastards are really useless!  " Miyoshi Nagakei can disapprove of the Kira family, but he cannot ignore the changes in the retainers. A small rumor is likely to cause a riot. At the same time, Miyoshi Yoshiken's opinion must be taken into account. From his description, he learned that Kira  The army has one legion with normal equipment, and another legion with very terrible equipment. Whether it is powerful iron cannons, strong bows, or attacks by javelins and cavalry, this kind of tactics is not what exists today.  Any kind of fighting method, Miyoshi Yixian is very sure of this. Such an elite military force is probably only seen by the legendary Mongolian army. This makes him have to suspect that this is an army composed of warriors, but Miyoshi  Thousands of warriors form an army? This is incredible. There are only a few thousand warriors in Sanhe Kingdom! This is obviously illogical. At this time, Miyoshi Changqing also realized that he was a bit contemptuous of this young boy.  What I was thinking about was another question. Miyoshi Yoshihide's defeat was not due to his incompetence in commanding his troops or his incompetence in his command.All methods are the best in the family, but he still couldn't hold out for two hours with superior strength. This shows how terrifying the attack power of this legion is. It can defeat the two wings of Miyoshi Yoshihide.  Of course he understands that he can defeat the two wings of Sanhao Changqing.  So a question arises, how to deal with the powerful Kira army?  He currently only has 21,000 troops in his hands, and there are still more than 7,000 Kira troops on the opposite side who can fight, and there are also 13,000 Hexagonal troops. There is no longer a military advantage between the two.  It was enough to make Miyoshi Changqing feel troubled.  But with Kyoto right in front of him, he was unwilling to just retreat. Both sides were at odds with each other for their own reasons, and neither one was willing to rush to take action, so a stalemate ensued.  Just after noon, bad news came from the Miyoshi family. The Kira Navy blocked the Katsura River and dispersed the Miyoshi family's transfer of soldiers' provisions back to the ship. The blast of iron cannons in the morning was an attack from the Kira Navy. In this way, Miyoshi  The road back to our home was cut off, and the only way out was to follow the Katsura River and enter Tamba.  This had a huge impact on the morale of the Miyoshi Army, and the logistical pressure was instantly amplified. Even if he still had 20,000 dan in hand, he could only last for less than two months according to the pace of fierce fighting, but he would not be able to hold on to Kyoto for two months.  What are the consequences of returning home?  What to do with the autumn harvest?  It was promised that the war would end before the autumn harvest, but if it ended two months later, the samurai of the four countries would not be willing.  "Lord, let's go out! As long as we defeat Kira's army, it's okay to reach peace with the shogunate, right?" "If that doesn't work, why not reach peace with the shogunate now? The people on the other side must have suffered a lot, so they must be able to accept the proposal of peace, right?"  ! " "Asshole! What nonsense are you talking about! We have 30,000 troops, and Danbo has 15,000 troops to support us! Don't worry about food and grass, just recruit them from Danbo!" "You're the bastard!  Can the people of Danbo be willing to pay for food and grass? " "Why can't they pay for food and grass? This is the condition for their surrender!"
