Prime Minister Bizen

Chapter 116 Yuxi Family's Battle Damage

Hideka fled from Ruyi Mountain in a hurry, and first ran to the Matsuyama camp at the foot of the mountain. The backup captain was Togawa Tatsuyasu. Then Xiujia ran down.

A moment later, the Erzi Dajian on the top of Ruyi Mountain was cut down by Nagamune's family, and the Ukita Army at the foot of the mountain was in a moment of confusion. Fortunately, Akashi Quandeng immediately said to Togawa Tatsuan, "Togawaden, let Matsuyama The crowd shouted loudly, His Highness has been received, His Highness is fine, otherwise the army's morale will be scattered."

Togawa Hidean followed the instructions, and finally Akashi Quandeng borrowed his son's Wenliu flag and waved it high as the formation flag, announcing that the Xiu family was here, and asked all the backup teams to move closer to the lord.

Ruyi Mountain was stolen and the lord was in danger. Todo Takatora and others who were chasing and fighting Kagawa had no intention to continue chasing the remnants of the enemy.

For these retainers, the Xiu family is their heaven, and the greatest contribution in this world is to protect the lord!
After a while, tens of thousands of people surrounded Xiujia, and Xiujia returned to the main formation under the escort of the banner team.

When the Xiu family saw the mess in the main formation, their hearts were filled with regret. If they had kept a reserve team, they wouldn't have been so arrogant.

I think everyone is very clear about what the Mayin and Zhenqi mean to the army.

On the battlefield, the general is like a flat boat. In order for the soldiers to see you clearly in the crowd, the general needs to make an extremely obvious prop to let them know that the general is by their side.

The capture of the horse seal and the formation flag often means that the general is dead. When Nobunaga Ozama Imagawa Yoshimoto entered the formation, he not only beheaded Yoshimoto's head, but also confiscated his knives, feet, and horse seal as loot.

I think that the lives of people like the Xiu family are not in any danger, and the horse seal and array flag were captured, maybe it is really the only one in the Sengoku period of Japan.

I don't know how Changzong and our department will publicize their victory after this battle. Maybe they will publicize the Xiu family's horse seal. This is the second time that the Xiu family has been defeated by Changzong and our department.

Yes, the Xiu family didn't think they had won. Although the Xiu family repelled Changzong's troops on the battlefield and killed them in large numbers, they were attacked by the followers of Changzong's troops in the end, and they were almost killed. up.

The Xiu family has traveled so far and fought dozens of battles, and has never encountered such a big defeat like today. It is a shame and a shame that the flag of the Mayin formation was captured!
Xiujia was afraid that Changzong and our ministry would exhibit his horse seal and formation flag, so he yelled at the famous names of the surrounding wealthy families to come and see them.

"Come and see! This is the horse seal and the formation flag of Bizen's fox Ukita Hide's family, which was obtained by my relatives of the Changzong family!"

In fact, the most important thing is that I am afraid that Changzong and our department will use this to publicize that they have won a big victory, thereby delaying the progress of Hideka's subsequent Sanuki Raiders.

After all, they have evidence in their hands, so what does the Xiu family have?Thousands of heads?What if I can take Zhou with me casually, how can it be as convenient and fast as Ma Yin.

The Xiu family could even imagine how difficult it would be to adjust the wealthy family by themselves after this.

All the retainers saw the displeasure on the Xiu family's face, so much so that in the following military discussion session, the entire shogunate was surrounded by an atmosphere of pressure. The generals in the shogunate did not dare to breathe when facing a teenage child. .

Because Jun Xingxing died in the raid of Changzong's Ministry, Akashi Quandeng, who was the military arrangment, had to take the place of the army temporarily, and counted the results and casualties for the Xiu family, but this time the statistics were different from the previous ones, and the Xiu family specially asked Quan Deng to count the backup The number of team injuries is sorted.

"After this battle, our army killed 1262 people, slightly injured 2325 people, and seriously injured 312 people."

"The heaviest casualties were in the second team's peace and energy preparations. The vanguards who took over from the Matsuyama group to block the enemy in the early stage were later attacked by Changzong's main unit from behind, causing the formation to tear apart. 342 people were killed and 266 were injured. people."

"He Qibei captured 512 heads, including 146 famous warriors, and 22 captives. They are rewarded."

In fact, Fujido Takatora has always felt guilty for his mistakes after letting Changzong and our troops break through the front line. He thinks that Hideka will punish him with so many people killed in battle.

Now when I heard Akashi Quandeng reported the loss, I almost cried with joy. According to the Ukita Military Law, he can not only be exempted from punishment, but also get rewards. Apologize to Xiujia.

"I am responsible for this matter, His Highness Qing will punish you." Gao Hu went to the middle of the shogunate, knelt down to the Xiu family and said.

Undoubtedly, the results of Heqibei's battle are very dazzling. Facing the elite Tosas of the enemy, after the Matsuyama group retreated, they took over the task of blocking and nailed them firmly to the position. Created opportunities.

If it wasn't for being pierced by Kaneko Yuanzhai's back in the second stage of the battle to encircle and suppress Changzong's followers, it can be said that this battle has achieved great success, none other than Todo Takatora's peace of mind.

Although the battle with Qi Bei was not perfect, it was Gao Hu's first time commanding the reserve team to fight.

It is very rare to be able to keep the team's formation unbroken in the face of elite strong attacks and enemy back attacks, so pay attention to Gao Hu's outstanding command ability.

Of course, the Xiu family would not divide Gao Hu just because of this, but asked, "Did you think at that time that Changzong and our department would choose to attack you?"

"At that time, its support troops were restrained by Takamatsu Bei and Kurashiki Yubei. To be honest, I really didn't expect that the opponent would turn around and attack me."

"At this time, we are also responsible. Changzong and our team were originally responsible for containing them and allowing them to attack other places calmly. We are negligent of our duty." Masatoshi Suga spoke.

Among them, Takamatsubi has been staying at the foot of Ruyi Mountain as a reserve team on guard until the final victory is locked. He was sent by Hideo to contain the main team of Nagamunebu Yuanqin. Unexpectedly, he was restrained by Kagawa affinity, so that Yuanqin's own team calmly attacked And gas equipment, resulting in heavy losses and gas equipment.

The difference is that the interpreter who is also in charge of restraining thinking is silent. Although Masatoshi Suga used the word "we" to include him in the report, Hideo did not express any emotion from the facial expression of the interpreter. Not a trace of guilt could be seen.

Seeing this moment, Xiujia made a mental note, and continued to ask Gao Hufa, "When you saw it, what arrangements did you make?"

"My nephew Todo Gao Xing immediately reminded me when he saw it. I had to order the surrounding brigades to turn around and fight against the enemy, but this Changzong's troops from my family were very elite and rushed over fearlessly. Peace of mind is hard to resist.”

"I can see what you said on the mountain. In that situation, you can command calmly and ensure that the formation does not collapse. You have already made meritorious service. I will let Quan Deng register your meritorious service. After the crusade is over, you will be rewarded uniformly. Quan Deng, continue talking."

"Ha Yi, the second casualty was Qinglongbei, who was the first team on the left wing. The whole team killed 145 people and injured 273 people. The team beheaded 418 people, 92 famous warriors, and captured 48 people. The beheading is a reward. "Akashi Quandeng took the order and continued to report the content of the military complaint.

"I have also seen the results of Yijujie's victory. With double the enemy's pinning down, I still have to find time to help Shang Dao Zuo Bei pin down Xiangzong's pro-Thai Abozhong. It's hard work."

"These are what the ministers should do. The victory of this battle depends entirely on His Highness' command."

Therefore, Qiu Shangjiu's family can't speak, and everyone knows that Xiu's horse seal and array flag were taken away by Changzong's followers. Even if Changzong's army is defeated and severely damaged in this battle, it can't be regarded as a big victory. Qiu Shangjiu's family wanted to flatter, but they didn't know that they had already caught the horse's hoof.

Xiujia's face was slightly cold, but he quickly calmed down and said, "Go back."

"romper"

Akashi Quandeng continued to report, "The next step is the second battle, where 123 people were killed, 135 people were injured, 366 people were beheaded at level 78, and [-] famous warriors were beheaded. They will be rewarded."

The captain of the Zuobei on the way is Takahashi Nananosuke Ryosuke, one of the captains of the former banner of the Nao family.

His real name is Takahashi Yosuke. After the Hide family inherited the family governor, they named him Takahashi Ryosuke out of a wicked idea. He was born as a low-headed samurai who was loyal to Ukido at that time. His loyalty is definitely worth testing.

"Thanks for your hard work, Ryosuke, if you can't do it, try harder next time." Xiujia said some words of encouragement to him as usual.

"Next is Kurashiki Zuobei, 116 killed, 130 wounded, 105 beheaded, 9 famous warriors, and no prisoners."

Kurashiki Zuobei and Kurashiki Youbei are both Ukita’s reserve team. The left and right reserve teams are divided by the Takahashi River. The right reserve area is relatively flat and prosperous. The first to be reformed in the military system, more elite.

Zuo Bei is mostly a mix of some mountain people and some Jiangyou rich people, and its combat effectiveness is only a little stronger than that of the ordinary nobles.

According to Ukita's military system, Kurashiki Zuobei must have lost money, but this reserve team has not undergone military system reform after all, and it is commendable that it can still maintain a good balance under the impact of the enemy's elite Tosas. If you can't go down this line, you will blame the elders of the Jiangyuan family who are nearly 60 years old.

"Next is Suzaku Bei in the first formation on the right wing. 98 people were killed, 102 were injured, 278 people were beheaded, 61 famous warriors were killed, and 25 people were captured. Rewards for beheading."

"It's a bit dangerous, Shizong, why is the result so poor, it's not like you"

"The first contact was with the Nishitosas of Kira's family. They were just native chickens and dogs. They were defeated by our army without support. Most of the gains were obtained in the battle with the enemy Nagaoka. The enemy is indeed elite, with casualties It's a bit big."

"You did a good job. Changgang County is directly led by Yuanqin, and its backup team is all from Yuanqin's fortune. They are well-armed. I'm afraid you have the whole army. You can fight against them with a comparable number. .”

"Your Highness is absurdly praised." The Gao Shan Clan said a little embarrassed by Xiu's praise.

"Next came the first group of Matsuyamas. 94 people were killed and 28 were injured. The level of beheading was 12. There was 1 famous warrior and no prisoners."

When Hideka heard this number, he raised his head and glanced at Tatsuan Togawa, a wave of anger was burning in his heart.

No wonder the loss of his reserve team just now at the foot of the mountain didn't seem to be that big. It turned out that the loss was less than 1/15, and the entire reserve team collapsed. What use is this kind of reserve team to you?

Look at the others, Qi Bei and Qinglong Bei, the battle losses are 1/5 and 1/10 and they are still fighting. Why is your reserve team so useless?
Xiujia was about to vent his anger, but suddenly remembered that he had just escaped from Ruyi Mountain, and it was Tatsuan Togawa who accepted him.

Otherwise, if the disciples of Changzong's family rushed down Ruyi Mountain, there would be no way for him to survive.

I just received someone's favor, so there is no reason to scold directly at this moment. I never thought that my majestic patriarch would live such a miserable life. If he wanted to scold him, he had to look at other people's faces. He could only write down this situation secretly, and waited In the future, rewards will be punished.

Except for the above-mentioned few reserve teams, they are all reserve teams with more casualties in the army, and the other reserve teams are more or less damaged.

The only thing that needs to be specifically stated is that Tomohiko Nishio, the backup captain of Kamichi Ubi, was hit by his own cannon when he was leading the backup team to block the support of the enemy Awazhong from the support of the Tosas. The battle was completed under the command of the first battalion general Ito Makoto.

After Akashi Quandeng reported the casualties, he announced the merits of the battle.

"The feat in this battle was due to Hajimoto Bei, who first forced back the enemy's Kira Kinji and Satake's straight teams, then defeated the enemy Iyo, and assisted Hekibu and Okube to surround the Changzongabu Nobuki's team and won the first rank Level 543, 76 warriors with surnames."

Hearing that he had done a great job, Zhuang Lin Yixin, the backup captain of the Banner Team, was not happy. He didn't even dare to go forward to receive the reward, because he thought it was his negligence that caused the Xiu family to fall into a dangerous situation. "Your Highness, I."

Xiujia saw his concerns and said, "Hayato Sato, you did a good job. You followed my order to pursue the enemy. The responsibility for being touched by Changzong's department is mine, not you. Some efforts will help you. Remember, I will give you a reward when you go back."

"This battle is a second effort"

Just as Akashi Quandeng continued to announce the curtain, there was a bird's cry outside the shogunate, and Xiujia recognized it, which seemed to be Spanish.

I saw the captain of the "Anthony" Opes rushing in with his men, and the servants of the Xiu family were pushed away like chickens in front of the tall and big Nanman.

"Stop it, let them in." Seeing that the warriors on duty tried their best to stop them, but they were too weak due to physical problems, Xiujia said.

Opes said another bird language, but Xiujia couldn't understand a word, but the wounded and several corpses brought in from behind him, Xiujia knew what he meant.

At the end of the day's battle, Changzong's followers and relatives raided Ruyi Mountain. The first people who came into contact with the enemy were the Nanban sailors manipulating the cannon and the men with the iron cannon.

According to Xiu's knowledge, more than a dozen southern barbarians died in the chaos, and more than a dozen sailors were injured. It's no wonder that Opes came up from the Anthony and was furious.

Fortunately, the Xiu family won the victory. The military pay and rations that Changzong and our family had piled up in Iino Mountain were obtained by the Xiu family. The Xiu family could sell them in exchange for some gold to appease the southern barbarians.

After the last difficult exchange between the two, they decided to add another 5000 taels for the care of the dead and injured, and Opes will continue to send sailors to help Xiujia manipulate the artillery and teach Xiujia's men how to use it.

The lives of those Nanban sailors are certainly not worth 5000 taels of gold.

In the age of great voyages, many people died at sea every year. In order to prevent the spread of diseases, most of them would be thrown directly into the sea to feed the fish.

These lives are unknown, and relatives may not know them when they die, but there are still many Europeans who choose to embark on this road one after another, because the profits are too lucrative.

Opeth had been dazzled by gold before, and was trying to explain the lack of artillery on the ship.

Now that a few companions have died, it is just an excuse to be robbed by pirates. The two ships exchanged fire, the hull of the ship was damaged, and the artillery fell into the sea.

The damage to the hull of the pirates was used as an excuse to explain the loss of the cannon. How could there be no crew sacrifices?These crew members can just be recorded as dead when the pirates exchanged fire.

And I can use this to knock another sum of money from the Japanese. Now I get 5000 taels, and I get 2000 taels. I think the rest of the people will not talk nonsense when they go back after receiving 3000 taels of gold hush money. Everyone is happy.
