different warring states of japan

Chapter 227
There are also loopholes in Matsunaga Hideo's plan. It is very risky to deliberately kill the number one general of the shogunate army.

If after Yoshihiko Shiba's death, the general didn't choose to compromise, but felt offended and went to war in anger, the consequences would be unpredictable.

Therefore, when large armies confront each other, they seldom assassinate enemy generals.

Wars are fought to end wars when it is more advantageous for one's own side.There is no strategy to stimulate the enemy to desperately, but it depends on the timing.

Matsunaga Hideo's plan to ambush Shiba Yoshiyin is feasible, but it is difficult to judge whether it will be beneficial to the war situation.

It's just that Miyoshi Changqing is eager for revenge, pretending not to see the danger, and wants to kill people to vent his anger.

Once such big men make up their minds, there will naturally be a storm.

"I've made up my mind!
Detain Hetian Weizheng and argue with her after the war. "

She looked around the scene, and all Ji warriors waited with bated breath.

In the Miyoshi Army, there are troops from various countries and families obeying orders, just because Miyoshi Changqing's prestige is in full swing.

Compared with Ashikaga Yoshiki on the other side, she is more like a shogun who responds to everyone.

In the army, except for the Awaji people brought by Matsunaga Hideo.

There are also the Settsu members of Miyoshi Nagait, the Awa members of Shinohara Nagabu, and the Miyoshi members of Miyoshi Masaksu, all of whom are elite members of Miyoshi's relatives.

Miyoshi Changqing scanned it all over again, and said with a care in his heart.

"Miyoshi Changyi, take Settsu people across the river from a distance, be careful not to show your traces, and go to Jiaoxingsi Village to ambush Shiba Yoshiyin."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Chobo Shinohara, you too. Take Awa to choose a hidden place to cross the river, lurking between Iimoriyama Castle and Kokoji Village.

Once Yoshihiko Shiba led his horse-riding warriors to pursue him to Jiaoxing Temple, you cut off his retreat and drove him to the south to die. "

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Matsunaga Hideo, this battle is your strategy. You choose ten elite cavalry warriors from the Awaji crowd, and cross the river to harass the supply line of Iimoriyama Castle.

If Sibo Yiyin goes south with you to Jiaoxing Temple, I will count your first contribution. "

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Miyoshi Zhengyasu, take the troops of Miyoshi's family headquarters, and follow me to cross the river to attack and attract the attention of the shogunate army."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Miyoshi Changqing's eye circles were reddish, he drew his knife and plunged it into the ground fiercely.

"I want Shiba Yoshigin's head!"

"Hi!"

All the concubines bowed their heads, and the army was dispatched.

---

The next day, Shiba Yoshiyin received a military report from Maeda Yoshiki in his camp, and summoned the princesses to discuss the matter.

"A horse-riding samurai from Miyoshi's family has crossed the Yodo River and is harassing the supply line from Iimoriyama Castle to the Shogunate Army."

Yi Yin frowned.

"This matter is a little strange. According to the military newspaper, there are no more than fifteen knights on horseback.

What's the point of harassing our army's logistics with such a small team with no supplies and only two days of rations at most? "

War horses are precious consumables, and every family cherishes them very much.It is too extravagant to harass the logistics line.

Moreover, Miyoshi's camp was on the other side of the river. If they were infantry soldiers, they could still do something with five days' rations.

When the cavalry is dispatched, not only the men have to eat, but the horses also have to eat.

The energy of weeds is very low. If a horse is allowed to graze on its own, it takes half a day to eat enough to run for a short period of time.

Therefore, when the army goes to battle, most of the war horses are fed with beans and grains.

There is not much space for a knight on horseback to carry with him, and he can last for two days at most.

What is the point of this harassment?
The army has food reserves for several days, as long as Iimori Mountain Castle stops supplying food for two days, these warriors on horseback can only return without success.

Consume the precious stamina of the horse, just to cut off Yi Hezhong's logistics for two days?

Akechi Mitsuhide shook his head and said.

"It can't be calculated that way.

The supply line from Iimori Yamashiro to the shogunate army is a letter of honor from the Shiba family to the general.

The shogunate army was in disarray, and the loudest voice of the main battle was my home.

If the logistics are cut off, even if it's only for two days, rumors will spread.

This is our statement of support for Mr. Gongfang, and we must not give others a chance to question it. "

Yiyin nodded.

"In that case, send troops to drive them out."

It is not far from Iimori mountain city to the army, and the supply line is extremely short.

As long as Yiyin intends to send troops, he will soon be able to drive away the enemy.

Akechi Mitsuhide was still thinking.

"Master, I always feel that this matter is strange."

Yiyin replied.

"If there is something strange, we have to do it.

As you said, the supply line is my declaration of loyalty to the general, and there must be no problems.

It's just sending troops, which is a little troublesome. "

The Sibo army at this time is far from being as strong as it was in Yamato.

Peking University and the samurai family were sent to Kyoto to assist in the defense, and all the congratulations went back. Ji Yi threatened Gen Laizhong to return to the country.

In Yiyin's hands, only the Yihe people can use it.

However, the Yihe people have not failed in every battle for more than [-] days since they sent troops, and they have already appeared tired.

In the previous joint battle, Iga's army lost half of its strength, and fifty elite Ji warriors were killed and disabled because of Yiyin's charge.

Of the other [-] Ji warriors who were injured at the beginning, only [-] have returned to the team so far.

Of the nine backup teams in Iga, three were guarding Iimoriyama Castle and the supply lines before and after it, and they were not allowed to move lightly.

The remaining six Ji Warriors are only enough to maintain the normal operation of the reserve team, and it is difficult to draw out any more manpower.

After thinking about it, only the thirty Ji warriors who call themselves the Shiba Concentric Group among the Iga group can be used.

Yiyin thought about it, and said.

"It's better for me to go once. There are thirty people in the concentric group, all of whom are Ji warriors with high martial arts skills. I will take them on horseback to drive away the harassment from Miyoshi's family."

Akechi Mitsuhide was still restless, feeling that something was wrong.

"My lord, you are honorable and should not be easily moved, go for someone else."

Yiyin said helplessly.

"I'll go in person. It's hard for others to make these people obey."

The Shiba Concentric Clans are elite Ji warriors from various families, they are all arrogant guys, and the family belongs to Kita Iga, Yuye, and Minami Iga.

In ancient times, the township party was the most important, and it was the least accepting of outsider interference.

There is no second person in the Shibo army who can suppress these concentric people from all over the world, they only serve Shibo Yiyin.

Akechi Mitsuhide also understood this truth, but was still worried after all.

"My lord, for this trip, we only need to expel the enemy army. Don't go too far to avoid accidents."

Yiyin nodded.

"I know."

In terms of cherishing his life, Yiyin knows that he is very afraid of death.

The samurai thought that he took the lead, but in fact he was always safe.

As long as the killing mode is on, he is immortal.

What I am most afraid of is that the killing value will be exhausted by placing an order, and I will be shot from a long distance, so I have no time to kill and recover points.

In addition, the injury should not be too serious. It would be ridiculous if the killing mode was turned off and the fart was seriously injured.

So every time he goes into battle, he seems to be extensive, but in fact he has been attacking with many Ji warriors, just to avoid risks.

It's really not easy to kill him.

Yoshiyin smiled at Akechi Mitsuhide and said to the others.

"For this attack, I will be back in half a day at most.

Yamanaka Hime, put the imperial flag in the camp, you will fight with me. "

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Todo Takatora, Otani Kichitsugu, San Taifu of the Hundred Lands, Fujibayashi Xing, Fujibayashi Muku, you all obey Akechi Mitsuhide and wait for my return."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Yiyin turned his head and smiled at Akechi Mitsuhide.

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

Akechi Mitsuhide looked at his smile, and his uneasy heart gradually calmed down.

"Well, I'll wait for you."
