Pillars of the Wu family

Chapter 423 Ambush

Learning lessons and correcting mistakes in time is the way to be a general. Yumitsu Numata immediately made corresponding adjustments. First, he sent someone to contact the Kira Navy, and asked the Iron Cannon Team to clean up the iron cannons in the battalion one by one. The Yixiangyikui Iron Cannon Team in the camp really fought back with iron cannons, and the two sides fired at each other for a few rounds, but the Yixiangyi Kui Iron Cannon Team in the camp found that they were completely unable to defeat the Iron Cannon Team outside the battalion.

The iron artillery team of the Kira Navy fired at the camp 80 meters away, and placed bamboo bundles and rifles in front of them as a shield, and they used a half-kneeling posture to reduce the chance of being shot, and they were always unaware of defense. The iron cannon team used the simplest standing shooting to fight back. Their iron cannons can only shoot at targets 30 meters away at most. If they exceed 30 meters, their power will be greatly reduced and their accuracy will be greatly reduced. It will hardly affect the Kira Iron Cannon team 80 meters away. .

The Iron Artillery Team has also discovered a completely different point. They need [-] breaths to reload one round of shooting, while the Iron Artillery Team outside the camp seems to need no reloading at all. It was another round of shooting, and the interval between each round of shooting was only two or three short breaths. Although the number of their volleys was not enough to watch, the continuous sound of iron cannons not only brought a huge shock to the Ashgaru in the camp. The casualties also brought huge psychological pressure to the iron cannon team.

Because the distance is relatively far, I don’t know how many people died outside the camp, but every round of volleys outside the camp sounds basically the same. A dozen to twenty iron cannons ranging from ashigaru were killed. After six rounds of this kind of confrontation, Genren Sugiura had to give up this tactic.Five hundred iron cannons killed 130 people.In addition, more than 80 people were injured, and nearly half of them were seriously injured.Most of the remaining lightly wounded will never be able to pick up the iron cannon again.

Masozawa Kochiin, who has always been the iron cannon head of the Kui Iron Cannon Team, said viciously: "It's really abominable! What kind of magic is this Kira Army using to keep firing iron cannons! We have killed so many iron cannons! Light, but the number of their gunshots has not changed! This must be black magic!"

Sugiura Gento nodded and said, "Just ask Guangzhiyuan Hohashi to take the soldiers down for treatment!"

The initial monk position was established in the Asuka era, and after many improvements in the Nara era and the Heian era, a system corresponding to the monk's program and the monk's position was established. This system is followed from top to bottom by the position of the monk of Fayin, the monk of Fayan, and the bridge of Fayin The position of superior, subdivided among the monks and officials is divided into Great Sengzheng, Sengzheng, and Powerful Sengzheng of Fayin Great Monk.The capital of the great monk, the capital of the great monk, the capital of the young monk, the capital of the young monk, the capital of the monk Fayan, and the capital of the barrister, lawyer, and lawyer on the Faqiao.

All the officials of the Kaga Ichikozong sect are members of Faqiao, but they are all very low-ranking, about the lowest level of lawyers, and can only compete with young monks in their early twenties. Ren and most of the monks are at the level of lawyers, and those at a higher level, such as Bannyayuan Zhenru, who stayed at Shishan Honganji for three years, mixed up to the level of barristers.

Most of the monks, including the three dead monks, are at this level. As for the monk Fayan, he can be said to be a person with a lot of voice in Kaga. Usually, in terms of documents and titles, XX Dharma Bridge and XX Dharma Eye can be used, but monks and officials are often called in daily language.It's just because the titles of the people on the Faqiao are too low, the monks and disciples who like to save face all call themselves Faqiao and avoid asking about specific monks and officials.

Watching Masozawa Kochiin slowly leave.Sugiura Genren thought about countermeasures with a cold face, but the only way to charge was to defeat the annoying iron artillery team in Kira's army, so he ordered three thousand foot light from the camp to rush out, and he could come up with an impromptu A way to deal with the Kira family is really not easy. The ordinary iron cannon team will encounter the rushing ashigaru. If there is no support, most of them will panic and panic. The leading general can take the opportunity to harvest these flustered iron cannon teams .

It's a pity that what he encountered was the iron artillery team of the Kira Army, not only the iron artillery team but also the roasting team.

A round of roasted jade was thrown out under the action of a simple stone thrower, and suddenly clusters of bright flames rose up with the shattered pottery fragments. In the billowing smoke, one could vaguely see the broken flesh and broken limbs. The tragic scene of flying around, because the explosion point happened to be on the only way outside the camp, so many people were killed and injured by the broken pottery fragments. I was petrified by the terrible sight.

These baked jade not only quadrupled in size, but the gunpowder formula has been optimized many times, and its power is even more amazing. With the great development of the porcelain and pottery industry in Omi Katada Town, a stronger and more stable baked jade container has been developed. In addition, the formula of the gunpowder fuze is also It has been improved and strictly calculated to ensure that it will detonate about five seconds after being ignited. Compared with the very dangerous first-generation baked jade in the past, the safety and stability of the new generation of baked jade have been greatly improved.

Another improved simple catapult, in fact, this is not an invention because this thing has large-scale applications in both the Central Plains Dynasty and ancient Europe. Naturally, it also has related applications in ancient Japan, but because the construction of road facilities cannot keep up with the routine, and in Kamakura All the walled cities before the end of the year were worse than the camps set up by bandits. At any rate, the current walled cities can still be regarded as earthen villages. 300 years ago, they were just a few small houses inside a fence, just like the level of the primitive settlements.

Therefore, after the trebuchet was introduced to Japan from the Central Plains Dynasty, there was a serious problem of acclimatization. The cost of maintenance was high and it was very difficult to transport. Japan’s cattle and horses were not considered rich. There are very few farmers left as labor force, let alone pulling such a heavy trebuchet hundreds of kilometers away to smash down a few dilapidated villages under the mountain.

During the Yingren Rebellion, it was because they were fighting near Kyoto. The Eastern and Western armies dug up a bunch of messy things from their homes, including a lot of siege equipment including trebuchets, as well as firecrackers passed down from the early Ming Dynasty. , After playing the last wave, I felt that it was still not suitable for me and completely abandoned it.

The Kira family worked hard to dig out the relevant structural principles from the pile of old papers in Kyoto, and then made a simple stone thrower. The difference in size is destined to make the maneuverability of this simple trebuchet much easier than that of a heavy trebuchet.Compared with the small surname baked jade that has shrunk a few sizes when thrown manually.Bigger size means more charge.The power is also more astonishing.

The unexpected violent explosion caused huge physical and mental trauma to Ichiichi Kuijun. Unfortunately, the leading Fangguan was blown to pieces in the first wave of explosions, and the rest of the Ashgaru turned around and drilled into the camp without saying a word. In the process of turning back and forth, more than a dozen baked jade were thrown out, killing no less than [-] people, making them retreat at a speed comparable to rabbits running away.

……

"Why did you lose? Why did you lose so quickly?" Chao Shengji Mizhao still did not forget to think about the reasons for his failure while riding his horse to retreat. Smart people are always good at summing up their own gains and losses. Ask yourself that you are a first-class smart person in Kaga country.He strives to do better than others every step of the way, so that he can hold down a Chaosheng Temple teaching Fang and secure the position of general general.

Carefully recalling the short period of ten days since I came to Yuezhong, it seems that I have not made any mistakes that are irreparable. If I insist on saying that there are mistakes, it is too hasty to kill Guangde Temple Chengxian. He suddenly realized: "The poor monk understands, it is because of the death of Chengxian in Guangde Temple, and there are [-] defeated soldiers under him. It seems that they were scattered into the defeated [-] army. It’s time to explain clearly why you lost so quickly! It’s because the poor monk was too lax, and because…”

Chaosheng Temple Misho turned his face and saw Banruin Shinru who was smiling all over his face.Can't help but sigh, there is really no way, whoever called him a hero is sad to be a "beauty".When he meets a new love, he naturally loses interest in his old love. In order to satisfy the requirements of a "beauty", he will go up and down the mountain of swords and fire, but he forgets that Guangde Temple Chengxian is not only his old love, but also the leader of a county flag. An important figure in the military and political power.

The Guanglin Temple Xiugui, Anyangsi Liaojun, and Motoxiangji Zhunyuki he sent were all smugglers who made military achievements, and they knew nothing except memorizing a few scriptures, not even the interpretation of the scriptures. The explanation is not clear, not to mention the high-level knowledge of military strategy and intelligence strategy. In the eyes of Chaosheng Si Mizhao, they are just a group of empty-headed people who don't know anything except eating, drinking, playing and sleeping. A good-for-nothing idiot.

The three idiots don't understand the military strategy, so they can only rely on the officials below to do their best, but because he killed Guangde Temple Chengxian, this crop is worse than changing generals, and the morale of the old troops of Guangde Temple Chengxian Shaken, the worst thing is that so many people from top to bottom didn't notice the strange emotions of those officials, even he was busy playing with the Prajna Temple Zhenru, completely oblivious to the flames burning down below.

If he could wake up a little bit, keep the eighteen thousand old parts of Guangde Temple Chengxian by his side, and replace the past with another one, the problem would not be so serious, but he once again ignored this hidden danger and let the three The idiots lead a group of idiots to attack the city or attack at night. From the soldiers to the officials, there is deep resentment. Whoever will do their best to attack the city is naturally what the three idiots say they will do. Perhaps it is also possible to withdraw after a night of foolishness outside Zengshan City.

The problem that had troubled him for a long time was answered, and the remaining problems were solved in the blink of an eye. He said angrily to himself: "First, the poor monk should not kill the sages of Guangde Temple in vain; second, he should not forget to appease the morale of the army; The army with a wavering morale goes to the front, fourth, it shouldn't send three idiots who don't understand military strategy to the front, and fifth, it shouldn't repeatedly miscalculate the situation and think that it can still fight Kira's army."

In vain, he thought that his strategy was foolproof, but he didn't want to make five major mistakes unintentionally, so that he didn't even realize his muddled failure, and he didn't talk about how angry he was with his arrogance and stupidity. The problem is The current situation made him worry again. The camp he set up on the west bank of Zhuangchuan was more than [-] kilometers away from Sangshan City. Such a long distance would take two hours at the fastest to march on foot. May suffer accidents.

In fact, there is still one thing he didn't say. Kaga has always killed with such a big move. In fact, he didn't show much real ability at all. Seventy to eighty percent of the [-] troops are fake. The essence of the entire Kaga is concentrated in Echizen and In the defense of Jiangmao County in the west, there are only so many elites who are reluctant to use them like a baby, but they don't know that the more they are like this, the harder it is to win the battle.

Last time, 11 people were unable to take down a Songcang Castle with only a few thousand people guarding it. This time, it is even more difficult for 10 people to take down Zengshan City, which is guarded by tens of thousands of troops. In two days, a big basket was revealed.As a result, he himself had to flee in embarrassment with his troops.There is no half of Kaga Ichikui's demeanor.

This time, Xiang Zong didn't think clearly about his strategy.In other words, Chaoshengsi Mizhao didn't have time to think about what the pursuit of the battle was, whether it was the territory of the Yuezhong counties or revenge and hatred, and he sent 10,000 troops to Yuezhong without thinking about this issue. Insisting on leading an army of [-] to the rescue, the [-]+ people were thrown into Vietnam without even a splash, and more than half of this war has been lost from the very beginning.

"The poor monk was wrong again. I left in such a hurry that I didn't even find out the actions of Kira's army. I don't know where the troops of Uesugi Danmasa, Kakizaki Izumi, and Saito Noshu are. What should I do if I encounter their surprise attack ?” The more Chaosheng Temple Mizhao thought about it, the more frightened he became, and the more frightened he became, he couldn’t help becoming nervous, looking back around the wilderness to find places where he might encounter an ambush.

As the saying goes, come to whatever you are afraid of, the poorer you are, the more hell you are, the colder you are, the windier it is, the ambush that Chaosheng Temple Mizuo was worried about was really bumping into the last thing you want to see.

It happened to be dawn at five o'clock, and there was a faint mist floating on the plains of Tonami, and the Yiyi Kui army who had been running in the middle of the night came to the gate of Changyuan Temple tired and hungry. In desperation, Chaosheng Temple ordered to bury the pot and make rice, although there were dry food and rice balls to eat.But you can't eat bento dry, you have to get some rice, cook a bowl of rice soup and sprinkle some salt and kombu to swallow it.

The steaming hot soup and rice just came out of the pot.Hearing the sound of rumbling iron hoofs stamping on the ground, not only the foot below panicked, but even the battle-hardened officials were at a loss.

"Oops! This is an ambush on the poor monk's only way to make a surprise attack! The poor monk is still on the right track!" Chaosheng Temple took a look and saw that the appearance of Kira's army was too coincidental, and there was no movement on the plains without any cover They can spread very far, but when they camped and cooked, there was no movement, and the rice soup was almost cooked, and they suddenly came out.

The next moment the officials reacted and shouted: "Don't stand still! Separate the army and resist quickly! For the sake of the monks, we must block them!"

The [-] elites surrounding Chaoshengji Mizhao instantly came to life, shouting: "Namo Amitabha!" Raising their long spears and swords, they rushed towards the Kira army who suddenly came out.

Chaoshoji Misho was surrounded by a group of monks and fled towards the Yamada River in the southwest corner. The Kakizaki Jingjia, who was attacking, saw that the [-] troops rushing towards him were well-organized and their morale was high. As soon as Chaosheng Temple Misho escaped, the army could no longer stabilize, and the remaining Kaga always had a Kui army, leaving an foot light to coordinate to stop the rest, under the leadership of various officials, they followed their pace and fled.

Five hundred monks and soldiers escorted Chaosheng Temple Shinzhao, and the long followers around Chaosheng Temple played the same role as the banner. The leader was Chaosheng Temple Shengzhi, who had a big waist and a round waist like a glaring King Kong, and Chaosheng Temple Shengli brothers. The man held a cast iron Zen stick and rode a horse to protect Chaoshoji Mishao from left to right and crossed the river. Before he could move forward, he was stopped by Saito Chaoxin and the black dragon cavalry.

"Monks, go! We are here to open the way for you!" Chaoshengsi Shengzhi and Chaoshengsi Shengli roared and rode their horses out, and the officials from all walks of life also joined the melee crowd with thousands of retreating troops , Choshoji Misho was not in the mood to watch the rare scene of the two brothers fighting against Saito Asanobu, and continued to escape to Kuwayama Castle with five hundred monk soldiers and less than ten thousand defeated troops.

In this short half an hour, he encountered two surprise attacks and lost all the trump cards in his hand. The angry Chaosheng Temple Mishao cursed: "The poor monk thought he could fight Kira's army, this Why are you still fighting! It will not be easy to return to Kuangshan Castle in a safe and sound way! I definitely dare not expect to win a big victory... No! Just stop expecting to save face and let the poor monk return to Kaga safely. !"

Banruoyuan really only had a superficial understanding of military strategy, and didn't know what fun it was to fight and kill. It was not as fun as playing with the monks, so he persuaded with a smile: "Don't be angry, monks, Ji Liangjun The weak can only use this kind of sneak attack to seek a victory, which just shows that our Kaga has always been stronger than Yikui!"

Chaoshengsi Mizhao smiled and shook his head. He really couldn't be critical of his new love with a straight face, and said half-blaming and half-loving: "You little clever ghost, don't talk nonsense! You can't interfere in military affairs."

This General Kaga Ichikui did not forget to fight with his own people on the way to escape, and those officials did not dare to come over to find themselves uncomfortable, and the Wanyu army passed the Oyabe River smoothly and saw A large group of troops rushed here, and the Xiangyi Kui army, who was terrified by the successive surprise attacks, was too frightened to move.After taking a closer look at the banner of "Namo Amitabha Buddha", Shi Fan realized that it was his own army.So he was overjoyed and looked forward to welcoming the friendly army.

The photo of Chaosheng Temple was not as happy as the officials.He looked at this army in amazement, stared carefully at the flag seal for a long time, and whispered: "The front is... the reason why Jinbao was appointed! How did he come here? Shouldn't he be monitoring the movements of Kira's army in Dongbaokan?" Is it? Could it be... bad! Can't let them come over!"

The moment he issued the order, the Shenbao chief suddenly threw down the banner of Ichikui, drew his sword and slashed wildly at the unsuspecting Ichikui army. Thousands of soldiers rushed out from all directions.

The shortcut in the direction of Sangshan City has been completely cut off. Seeing that there are tens of thousands of troops blocking the way, the courage of the front is also forced to retreat as the arrows rain down.After running away in the middle of the night, tired, hungry and mentally disturbed by successive raids, they completely forgot that they were the most vicious group in the world, and fled backward like a group of frightened rabbits.

There is no road ahead, and the situation of Kawara is unknown, so the only way to turn around is to flee the same road. This run has to leave [-] people behind, and then finally turn around and return to the original road, finally wading across the Kaga of the Oyabe River. All along, Kui's army was pushed back to the east bank again. This time, thousands of troops were lost in vain. Chaosheng Temple Mizuo really wanted to slap himself.

It is simply that the Oyabe River is not deep, and even farmers and soldiers who do not know water can struggle to cross it, but the east bank of the Oyabe River has been stormed by Saito Asanobu and the Etchu reinforcements who came later.It is obvious that all the [-] troops under the Jinbao Chief Office have defected and been cut off.

A small delta between the Oyabe River and the Yamada River. The terrain of this delta is very similar to Hachimanhara on Kawanaka Island.There are several villages here, the largest of which is called Tongmuzhuang, with about 500 households, and the other two villages are called Qiantianzhuang and Wantianzhuang. Usually also called paulownia.

Chaosheng Temple Misho came here after trekking across the river, and returned after half an hour, but his mood was very different. He watched the clamoring army surrounded from all directions in a daze, and his faces were so excited that they were distorted. So familiar yet unfamiliar, I can't tell how frustrated I am, Chaosheng Temple still knows that he has no hope.

The post of Shenbao Chief is very courageous, and he will not hesitate to make a big bet to make a comeback. Chaoshengji Mishao dispatched all the believers of Etsuchu to him to lead. The 1 troops are more powerful than [-] in his eyes. Gold is more attractive, and the short-term power of military control reminds him to be cautious, not to be unloaded and killed like Chengxian of Guangde Temple.

Jinbo chief was not a local official of Ichikozong. Although his father, Jinbao Qingzong was once close to Etsuchu Ichikui and killed Nagao Nokage, he quickly got rid of Ichikozong's influence and tried to quickly transform into a pure Sengoku daimyo. However, it was only when the appearance of Nagao Weijing had a strong desire to avenge Jinbao Qingzong that the momentum of the Jinbao family's rise was destroyed.

Following the murder of his father, Kambo Keimune, by Nagao Mikage, the young Shinbo Chief survived until adulthood under the protection of veteran ministers, and then summoned the original team left by his father under the name of the descendants of the Jinbo clan. People and horses have worked hard for more than 20 years to gradually bring the declining family business back on track, achieving a pattern of overwhelming Tonami County in the west and invading the Shiina clan in Shinkawa County in the east.

Before Kira's family invaded Etsuchu, all these things kept going in an orderly manner. Shiina Changchang, the old monster, was also forced by him to live in seclusion. But I don’t know how many trips have been made. Who would have thought that taking advantage of the opportunity of Takeda Shingen’s large sum of money to cooperate with Etsuchu Ichikui to deal with the Kira family, he would have brought huge disasters on his own.

Right now, the entire territory of Etsuchu is occupied by the Kira family, and the governor of his own family chose to flee to Kaga for support in a moment of confusion. As a result, he wasted money and walked a lot of wrong roads. , and this hope that the money will be thrown out and people will not return it if they fail to do anything. It made him realize that the monks in Kaga are just a group of bastards who take money and do nothing.

Living in Kaga for a few months, I thought I would lose the chance to return to Etchu, but I met Sugiura Genren by accident. After a few banquets, I made friends with him and met him with his help. Chaosheng Temple took photos and got some seemingly reliable guarantees from him. From this series of twists and turns, he realized the eternal truth of people leaving their hometowns and humble.

This time he returned to Yuezhong, and he was determined not to go back. He was optimistic about Chaoshengji Temple because Kaga's strength was too strong. The arrogant Kaga has always been like a piece of paper when he meets the Kira Corps, his confidence is shaken, what should he do if he can't hold on?If he returns to Kaga again, will he still have a chance to come back next time?

The answer is naturally no, if the loser even pawns his pants, Kaga always dare not touch Yuezhong again, just when he was at a loss and at a loss, Chao Shengji led an army of 2 to fight again After entering Yuezhong, he recruited more than [-] believers of the Yizhong sect along the way. Such a powerful instigating force made him both envious and afraid.

It wasn't until the next few days of contact that he realized that this photo of Chaosheng Temple was not a good thing at all. The enemy can kill tens of thousands of generals in the army at present, and his IQ is only about that of Ouchi Yoshitaka. The level of an idiot seems to be so shrewd that no one can deceive him. In fact, when it comes to the issue of competing for favor, his head is like a bucket of dung.

It doesn't matter if it's like this, anyway, as long as he wants to restore the old territory in Tonami County as long as Zengshan City is restored, it is best to snatch back the territories in Fusha County and Sheshui County together, but the subsequent task assignments and arrangements clearly make him this "other country" When the ball kicks, it is the job of a guard dog to guard the gate. Let him, the largest native of Etsuchu, and the Jimbo clan, which was once praised as a "guardian" by Ota Michikan, become a guard dog. a great insult.

The latter arrangement even revealed an attempt to turn Masuyama Castle, where Jimbo was appointed as his own territory, into his own territory. Even if his home city was taken away, how much territory would be left for him is a questionable question. From that moment on , Jimbo Chief has completely given up on Kaga Ichikomune, so Kojima Town appeared.

Shen Baochang's excited face was distorted and ferocious, and he roared hoarsely: "His Royal Highness has promised to exempt the followers of Yuezhong Issaizong from the punishment, as long as you follow the family to kill Chaosheng Temple Misho and Yishang Yikui thieves, not only will you be exempted from punishment." Even the severe punishment of sitting and miscarriage, there will be a big reward to get! And relatives and friends living on Sado Island can also redeem it, if you don’t do it now, when will you wait?” (To be continued.. )
