Prime Minister Bizen

Chapter 117 Hideka Sanuki Raiders
After Hideka sent Opes away, the military discussion was able to continue, and Akashi Quanto was able to continue to report the results of the battle.

Although 1262 people were killed and 2325 people were slightly injured in this battle, 3832 heads were obtained in total, 611 were heads of famous warriors, and 522 people were captured.

In the Warring States Period, often the casualties in a battle exceeded 1/10, and the team might be defeated.

However, troops with higher prestige of the patriarch, stronger centripetal force in the family, and a stronger will to fight will have a higher proportion of defeats. This is what we often call morale.

Take Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin’s 5 battles in Kawanakajima as an example. Both sides are elite troops. Both Uesugi Kenshin and Takeda Shingen have high prestige at home, so the nobles under them all go all out in the battle, and they are almost invincible in the battle. .

Among them, the fourth battle of Kawanakajima was the most tragic. Although both sides claimed victory, after checking and comparing the documents of both sides, it was concluded that the Takeda Army had 630 dead and 470 wounded in this battle. Uesugi There were [-] military dead and [-] wounded.

After this battle, it can be said that both sides were injured, so that in the fifth battle of Kawanakajima, both sides were cautious, and the two sides hardly fought.

During the subsequent Nagashino battle, the Takeda army charged at the Oda army's defense line under the order of Katsuyori, and once attacked in front of Nobunaga's main formation.

Many books describe the post-war battle as saying that more than 3000 people were killed by the Takeda Army, but there were more than 30 famous warriors above the light foot light general.

The elders of the family, Hara Masahin, Yamagata Masaki, Tsuchiya Shoji, and Takasaka Masatsumi died in battle one after another. Even the elders were forced to this point. The casualties of the Takeda Army were definitely not as optimistic as recorded in the books. Later scholars believe that it should be It will not be lower than the casualties of the fourth Kawanakajima battle.

The 2500 Tosas, Nagaokas, and Kamis that Hideya faced this time were the absolute elite of Nagamune's family, and it was they who inflicted the greatest damage on Ukita's army.

Most of the heads captured after the war came from these reserve teams. More than 600 samurai alone were killed. He was asked to die, and the inspection of the head has been completed.

It can be said that after this battle, the loss of Changzong Gabu's family, just like the Takeda family in history, has reached the point where the muscles and bones are broken. The Hide family almost crippled the branches of the entire Changzong Gabu family in one battle. .

There may even be a situation where it is impossible to suppress the wealthy families in the collar because of the excessive loss of the direct collar.

As long as the Hide family is less provocative, I am afraid that the family members of Changzong and I will fall into the time when the Tosa was appraised 20 years ago, and it can be said that they have returned to before liberation overnight.

If there was no final surprise attack by Xinqin, Xiujia would be very satisfied with the results of this battle, and Xiujia was even ready to continue the next invasion of the Four Kingdoms.

After reflecting on the past, Xiujia began to make arrangements for the next strategy.

"Beizhongshou, tomorrow morning, please go to Toramaru Castle, find Kawachishou, inform him of the victory of our family, and ask him to bring troops to join our family. You go in person, and you should pay more attention to it."

"You will pass through Wangzuoshan City and Zhidu City along the way, bring the news that our army has won, and let Jiaguang and the others bring their backup team to join me."

No matter how tortuous this battle is, the main force of Changzong's army has been definitely defeated, and Hideka will have enough time to attack Sanuki.

During the last Sanuki Raiders, Hideo used Konishi Iemitsu and Samukawa Iemitsu as wedges and placed them in West Sanuki. It took a lot of time for the relatives of the Yuan Dynasty, so that the Xiu family was able to fight against Chang Zong's family after the battle of Jianyue, which can be said to be a great contribution.

As the allies of the Xiu family, after the Xiu family defeated the elder relatives of the Changzong family, of course they should come together to share a share.

As for Shihe Depository, although it is still a subject of the Miyoshi family in name, but now the Miyoshi family only has Naruto and a city of thousands of stones, and it is not as powerful as this retainer.

The Xiu family is declaring sovereignty in Sanuki at the moment. It is fine if Shihe preserves his acquaintance.

"Gao Hu, He Qi Bei has been seriously damaged in this battle, so you can lead them to garrison Tianwu City." Xiujia turned to Fujido Gao Hu and said.

Although Fujido Takahu was a little reluctant, he also knew that the loss of He Qi Bei was close to 1/4. The key and Qi Bei was the mixed arrangement of the Lang Party of He Qi County, Panli, and Gaojin County. He could only accept Xiu's arrangement.

"Yijosuke, tomorrow you will lead the three backup teams, Qinglongbei, Minobei, and Okubei, to attack Yubutsuki's family. I do not accept Yubutsuki's surrender. Yubutsuki's family must be changed to the lord of Baishi."

"Ha Yi" Although the Qiushang Jiu family didn't know why the Xiu family had such a big prejudice against the Yubutsu family, he still habitually accepted the military orders of the Xiu family.

Actually, after Xiu's family was raided by relatives today, he was in a bad mood all the time. When Akashi all boarded the military loyalty certificate, he seemed to be angry with Matsuyama, and finally suppressed it abruptly.

Now seeing the Yubed mark on the map not far from him, he remembered that this guy actually skipped the Hide family a year ago and directly swore allegiance to Oda Nobutaka, and he didn't take the Hide family seriously at all.

Previously, Yubuto Jizai and Xiujia were both Nobunaga's retainers, so naturally they couldn't do anything about him, but times have changed now.

After the Nagamune family invaded Sanuki for the second time, the Yubutsu family fell directly to the Nagamune clan. For the Oda family, this was treason and surrender to the enemy. As the general general who set up the Oda banner in name to attack Sanuki Naturally, the new and old grudges will be counted together with you, and I will not give up until your Yuchuang family is destroyed and exterminated, just to let go of the resentment in my heart.

"Ujimune, Takimiya, Okamoto, and Takata will be handed over to you. You will attack eastward along the Sanuki Road until you gather the troops of the Samukawa, Kosai, and Toka clans, and then return to Amagari to join me."

"I will assign you the upper left and right sides and the Matsuyama people. The Nara, Kannai and other families in the territory were all Nobunaga's retainers before, but now they have defected to the enemy. I allow you to impose a small punishment on them. In addition, if Shihe If you don't know the current affairs, I allow you to capture Toramaru Castle."

"Ha Yi, please rest assured and leave it to me, I will definitely bring back news of victory for my lord."

The Xiu family is absolutely at ease with the Takayama clan. Compared with the Qiugami Jiu family, he has a better overall view and political awareness. The generation of the ruling party.

That's why he was asked to entrust him with the most arduous tasks. There were many wealthy families along the way, and with the Gaoshan clan's political sense, the Xiu family believed that he would be able to handle these things well.

"Brother Kane, Sakaide, Kokubun, Fuchu, Hesheng, Takamatsu and other places in the east of Marugame will be handed over to you. The loss of your Kurashiki left and right equipment is not serious, and I will leave the left and right sides of Tsuyama to you. , let Kamei Fusaki and Yoshioka Dingkatsu help you, and let you go to conquer as the main general."

This is the first time that Ukita's family has played as the main general, and Xiujia is actually not very reassuring about him.

Although Jiangyuan Jingzong is very experienced in the battlefield, but after all, he is a retainer of Ukita's family, and there are some things that may not be easy to persuade.

Therefore, Hideka entrusted him with the simplest strategy of the North Road, and at the same time assigned him the left and right sides of Tsuyama of Kamei Tomoki and Yoshioka Takatsu. Presumably with their help, the Anan family should not have any problems.

"The Sanuki people did not actually participate in this battle, and their strength is relatively well preserved. Don't take it lightly, everyone. Only when you fight steadily, the division strategy may have a miraculous effect. I am waiting for your good news in Tianwu City."

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, we will take Sanuki for Your Highness."

The role of the Sanuki people in this battle was only to suppress the formation, and the chief relatives of Changzonggabu never sent them to the front line of the battlefield.It can be said that it is the most well-preserved enemy army in this battle.

After all, the army composed of land turtles in the Warring States period was expected to be unstable, but I didn't expect that it would leave hidden dangers for the current Sanuki crusade. It may take some effort to conquer Sanuki by force.
