Prime Minister Bizen

Chapter 46 400 Vs 2000 Keijiro's Fame on the Side Battlefield (56)

Hideka left Shengrui City and returned to Takamatsu Town to hold a military meeting to discuss the next move.

Ukita took advantage of the night to bypass the Teshima waters and enter Takamatsu Town to achieve the effect of a surprise attack, but Teshima and Naoshima, which are the important waterways of Sanuki and Bizen, are still in the hands of the Sanuki wealthy Gao Lijia.The Xiu family's retreat might be cut off.

After much deliberation, the Xiu family decided to send someone to send him a letter of persuasion. The candidate had already been determined, and that was Nagao Nagao, who had won the Xiu family's face by pretending to be a big boss in He Shengcheng.

Historically, Osafuna Tsunao was favored by the Ukita Hide family, and each of them had outstanding political abilities. Under Tsunao's leadership, the Hide family firmly controlled each family in the territory by seizing the land and reorganizing the towns. The basic situation also attracted the attention of other powerful families, and finally poisoned Tsunao.

After Tsunao's death, the angry Xiu family lost their political manipulator, and actually went off to fight freely with his retainers, which eventually triggered the Ukita Rebellion.

This is also the reason why the Xiu family only dared to carry out reforms in the directly governed territories. If the feudal rule in Europe is low royal power, then the feudal rule in Japan is the era of tribal authority.

I have been repeating the difference between subordinate daimyos and subordinate daimyos, but even if they are subordinate daimyos, the main family only has the power of guidance and is not qualified to intervene in the affairs of its territory.This is also the reason why the Taiko inspection district often requires foreign daimyos to declare themselves. Hideyoshi is afraid that the fragile regime he has established relying on his personal favor will fall apart under the inspection district's order.

Correspondingly, the Tokugawa family used several transfer points to get a good understanding of the real situation of most of the neighboring countries, so that they could calmly deal with foreign daimyos. When it comes to the situation in various supervision and inspection places, the foreign sample daimyo will report it by himself and then verify it. If there is a discrepancy with the estimate, the external sample daimyo will also be given the opportunity to defend himself.

Not to mention that the general who is the ruler is cautious about seizing land, even the lord of his own country must be careful about the territory he entrusted to his retainers.

In the final analysis, the superior lord's inspection of the lower-level lord is tantamount to delegating the pressure to the lower-level lord. In order to achieve the number of grain and stones registered by the higher-level lord, the lower-level lord must bear the pressure to face his own lower-level lord.If this kind of pressure is devolved, if the first level cannot withstand it, it is easy to rebel against your lord under the coercion of your own retainers.

The disturbances in Ukita in history were still minor, and it was common for the lords to cause disturbances because of the turmoil caused by the seizure.

Hideka likes Osafune Tsunao's ability very much, and thinks he has the ability to become Ukita Naoe Kensuke, but this time in He Shengcheng, his behavior is a bit inappropriate. As a retainer, how can you speak to the Patriarch in the tone of an elder educating a junior in front of outsiders? Woolen cloth?
The Xiu family prepared to practice him out of consideration for returning to talent, and then ordered, "Osafune Hall, the Naoshima, Toyoshima, and Shodoshima behind the main house control the Seto Inland Sea Channel. The position is extremely important, but it has not surrendered yet. You can make them surrender to their own family on the condition of their ability to be safe."

"I heard that He Shengcheng Xiangxi Jiaqing has a very good relationship with Naoshima City Lord Takahara Ciri. You can use him to persuade the Takahara family to surrender. If the Takahara family surrenders, if you want to come to Shodoshima Star City Lord An Fu, you will also surrender if you want to come."

"romper"

After dealing with the problems behind him, Mezuke and Ninja, who spread the word, came back one after another with the latest news. Yamamoto, who surrounded Yubutsuki City, feared that he would be surrounded, and began to lead the troops to retreat to Tianwu City. Zongwo's relatives have not received the news yet, and are still besieging Shihe City in Sanmu County.

Xiujia decisively ordered the troops to rest for a while and set off from Gaosong to Shihe City, preparing to intercept the retreat of Changzong and our troops.

Due to the departure of Osafune Tsunade, Hideka appointed Masayuki Takashima, who had just been resigned from the post of captain of the military equipment, as Okubi's temporary military captain, and temporarily owed his punishment.

Ukita Hideie, who was marching quickly, met in the Takata area with Nagamune Kabukichi, who had received the news and started to retreat. Hideka quickly ordered the banner team to pass through Kami Shincheon, seize the only nearby commanding height of Yoshio Mountain, and at the same time ordered the troops to face south. .

Kiyoshi Chosogabu, who hastily withdrew his troops, did not expect that the Oda Army that had just landed would come to cut off his retreat without making any adjustments. At this time, Kiyoshi faced the same difficult choice as Takakage Kobayakawa last year. Possibly, moving forward also has to worry about the Oda Army that may exist behind Hideo.

And Xiujia also faced the dilemma of 1:2 numbers, which made him dare not attack easily.He hoped to consume the strength of Changzong's family through a positional battle, and finally he would join the Banner reserve team and defeat the enemy with one blow.

Two equally entangled generals met in Takata. In the end, the 75-year-old Nagamunebu Kichichi took the first step and ordered the right-wing Sanuki nobles to cross the river from the upper reaches of Shiraishi and attack the Ukita army from the side and rear.

Hideka standing on Mount Yoshio saw the troops crossing the river 5 kilometers away. Now it was his turn to be passive. Shiroishi was only 5 kilometers away from Mount Yoshio. He needed to defeat the Changzong Gabu clan in front of him within 20 minutes.

But after a few trials, Xiujia discovered that Mr. Qinji seemed to be avoiding obstacles deliberately, presumably he was planning to delay Sanuki's powerful family movement so that he could attack Xiujia.

In the face of our troops advancing and retreating from Changzong, Hideka had no choice but to change his thinking. On the one hand, he also sent two companies of his own banner reserve team to the vicinity of Nanjingan Pond and Nuijing Pond in the upper reaches of Kamisinkawa. The narrow strip between Kamisincheon blocked 2 people from the right wing of Chang Zongga's department.

At the same time, he asked Yi Jiubei to cross the river quickly, and came to the north side of Shangxinchuan to surround and attack the Changzong army who crossed the river from the north side of Nanjingjianchi.

As the most elite Banner under Hideo's rule, the first company and the second company quickly moved to stop the Changzong army who crossed the river. Although the distance was farther than the Sanuki who crossed the river from Shiraishi, they were earlier occupies the key point.

As the supreme commander of the Sanuki, the lord of Shengtongji Castle, Motomasa Nara, only had 400 troops in front of him, so he didn't care about any tactics immediately, and just said "2000 vs 400, I have the advantage", and directly F1 F3 The whole army charged.

Even if there is no formation, the soldiers of Yu Xiduo still feel the pressure in the face of troops five times their size rushing towards them.Fortunately, the captain of the first company, Qiu Shangjiujia (yes, he was promoted again), led the following city phalanx to prepare for the enemy.

Due to the shortage of iron cannons, Xiujia did not equip the banners with iron cannons, which usually do not need to be on the front line, but every farmer, soldier, and samurai selected for the banner is a strong man over 160 in height, and each of them can stretch the full 1.8m longbow.

英国兰对于长弓手的考核标准是1分钟稳定射出6箭，精确射击击中220米外靶子即算合格，而优秀的长弓手1分钟可以精准瞄射12支箭。

In history, when Edward I first established the British longbowman system, he organized the archers in the hands of various lords, gathered 1000 people, and shot more than 1 arrows in 1 minute, directly shooting the unarmored Scots People are on their backs.

Xiujia's archers have a relatively short period of training, only half a year. They are not as accurate as longbowmen in history, but they can make up for it in the rate of fire. .

Seeing that the enemy army was within 100 paces, the 4th row of Leh City's bannermen prepared to respond to the enemy and shot arrows in their hands one by one.Since the Uki family seized the Zhunjingan Pond, they further controlled the Sanuki Army on the east side of a tributary of Kamisinkawa, although the creek was shallow and had just reached the calf.

However, the distance of 100 steps still takes about 30 seconds for the short stature and malnourished Japanese farmers and soldiers to run at full strength, but facing the creek with a width of 10 meters and submerging their calves, the movement speed of the Sanuki people traveling in the river was limited. Slowing down, the speed of the entire movement has dropped sharply and the Sanuki who do not have enough equipment will take a full minute.

Qiu Shangjiujia seized the opportunity to order the teams to carry out saturation shooting at all costs.In just 1 minute, 8 rounds of arrow rain were shot.And because it was attacked by the arrows raining down on the banner, the short ten-meter-wide creek fell hundreds of people in just ten minutes.The bodies were lying on the river bed so that the stream was blocked.

The Sanuki people in the back stepped on the corpses of their predecessors to land on the beach and rushed to the beach, only 20 meters away from the female Imagawa, which was guarded by Banner.

Seeing that the enemy had rushed to his face, Akigami Hisaka launched a counterattack against Sanuki after ordering the banner team to shoot the last round of arrows.

Hatakemoto, who had been suppressed by the military law for a long time, rushed towards the Sanuki people who had just rushed to the shore like a wild horse.For a moment, it seemed that they were the attackers.

"Yeah, yay~ The thieves will take a shot from Keijiro~" Maeda Keiji, who has become the team leader, wears his father's big armor and leads the ashigaru who belongs to his team to rush into the Sanuki crowd at the head of the crowd.

Xiujia has a specific and unified configuration for its banners, but this is not mandatory.In fact, many captains, even the captains have their own family heirloom armor, and they also like to wear these fancy family heirlooms on the battlefield to fully demonstrate their martial name.

The Banner team may not be suitable for the personality of Keijiro who escaped, but Keijiro, who has been suppressed by his father and military law, did not dare to cross the line, especially this morning when the Hide family just dealt with a dozen rebels. This makes Keijiro only able to suppress his own character.

Now the opportunity finally came. Under the order of Akikami Hisa, Maeda Keiji, who was at the forefront of the first brigade, was finally able to dance freely.I saw him rushing into the sheep like a tiger, dashing left and right, brandishing a red gun, letting the blood of the enemy splash on his body, like an evil spirit in the region.

"The enemy general needs to be rampant. I, Miyamoto Shiro, are here. Heh~heh~" Before the general who came to organize Keijiro finished speaking, Keijiro stabbed his throat, and the blood from the carotid artery flowed from the wound. It spewed out, and the samurai named Miyamoto Shiro dropped his spear, covered his throat with his hands and fell down unwillingly.

The Sanuki army rushing up the embankment was effectively killed by the flag, and the Sanuki people behind saw that the army in front could not resist, and saw Maeda Keiji rushing to the front line like a blood man, as if seeing Like a ghost, crying and rushing down the river again.It directly dispersed the Sanuki people who were about to join the battle group in the rear.

Nara Motomasa, as the commander of Sanuki Chu, saw the soldiers rushing to the opposite bank being driven off the river bank again, so he could only temporarily retreat 2km and regroup. The news of Zongwo's relatives retreating.

At this time, he looked at the remnants of his army who were only in the early thousand, knowing that the Oda family had no choice but to surrender to the Hide family.
