different warring states of japan

Chapter 1542 The curtain gradually opened

The joint battle centered on the small plain on the east bank of Yuwu Lake is about to start.

From a bird's-eye view of the sky, Oda Nobunaga's Mount Oiwa is in the south, and Yoshigin's lurking fox mound is in the north. The straight-line distance between the two is nine kilometers, and the distance from the central battlefield to both sides is less than five kilometers.

That is to say, in this mountainous plain area of ​​less than ten square kilometers, there are 9 people in Shiba and [-] people in Oda, and a total of [-] people are desperately squeezing into the center and rushing into the battlefield meat grinder.

They are the protagonists of today, and countless people will be smashed to pieces in the flesh and blood mill of the battle.

The battlefield is narrow and there are many people. After the formation of troops on both sides is completed, there is basically no room for manipulation.

The only advantage, perhaps, is the convenience of communication.

Jianyue is only four or five kilometers away from the main battlefield of Yuwu Lake, so it takes half an hour to send a message on horseback, and the farthest internal communication between the Sibo army is half an hour away.

The Oda Army is more convenient. Oda Nobunaga sits in Oiwayama, the southwest side is the Jiandake line of defense, the northeast is the Iwasaki line of defense, and the southeast is Kinomoto Nobumori Sakuma and Kawajiri Hidetaka who are waiting for orders.

Even the farthest Oda Army in the Higashino Mountains is only two or three kilometers away, and it takes only 10 minutes to pass orders on horseback.

Sanada Nobushige laughed loudly, and turned to Unano Toshiichi and said.

Ever since Hosokawa Fujitaka and Akechi Mitsuhide were having fun together, the pair of Qi sisters have completely let go of their previous suspicions, and their relationship is very good.

Nobushige Sanada yelled, and the morale of the Sanada people crossing the river was like a rainbow, and they yelled back.

Therefore, Yiyin decided to appease Mitsuhide Akechi, and handed over the supreme command of the battlefield to her after he attacked.

Yiyin nodded and sighed.

Mr. Maeda Masaki ordered Mr. Hosokawa Fujitaka's men and horses to be the vanguard, and Mr. Akechi Mitsuhide was asked to go to Dogi Mountain to be responsible for the safety of the artillery team. "

She really agreed, wishing that I would immediately leave her sight and roll aside so as not to be an eyesore. "

The mobilization force of Hosokawa and Mibuchi's family is more than [-] shi, which is even higher than that of the recent Sibolings. She has enough military strength to take on the responsibility of the vanguard.

Yiyin analyzed for a long time in one breath, just to prove that Maeda's interest was wise in his decision-making, and also to express his trust in Maeda's interest.

Yiyin glanced at Gamo's township, who was hesitating, and said straight.

It is said that the Oda army here is from Kita Omi, and their morale is not high. The opponent's general did not dare to defend the embankment, probably because he was worried that he would be defeated for thousands of miles and would not be able to organize an effective defense line at Jianyue. "

But you can't get excited, you are the main general, you have to lead them to take down the Big Rock Mountain and snatch back the two hundred braids.

Maeda Yoshiki is only in command of the coalition forces nearby, she can't control Sanada Nobushige's side.As the commander-in-chief, Yiyin has the power to command the overall situation.

Maeda's interests have done a good job. Sending Akechi Mitsuhide to Tangmu Mountain is conducive to internal unity. "

But in fact, Yiyin's heart is full of bitterness. Maeda Yiyi is dishonest, and she is not wholeheartedly for the public as Yiyin said.

However, if the Shiba family's army does not go first, each family must have concerns and hesitate to move forward.

What to do next? "

She can have a bird's-eye view of the whole situation in Tangmu Mountain, so she can stay there and fill in the gaps for me. "

You people, don't judge the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

Pusheng Shixiang was stunned for a moment, not knowing who that Chang Kaishen was, she hesitated and said.

---

Takenaka Shigeharu laughed.

They are good sisters in the mountains, they are worthy of us, but if you lose this battle and cannot win the Big Rock Mountain, then you are sorry for them.

When the overall situation is settled, Akechi Mitsuhide has the title of supreme command, but he is actually just a bystander.She also won't get any military merits, but it sounds more comfortable.

In the past few days, the headquarters of Shibaling has been unable to move. They are the elites who are preparing to deal with the attack of Higashinoyama Oda's main force coming down the mountain.

"I don't care what the opponent's general thinks, my goal is Dayan Mountain! Right!"

Shiba Yoshiyin used Maeda's loyalty to explain the matter and excused her, which is illogical in itself and is trying to cover up the obvious.

"hurry up!"

The supreme command granted by Yi Yin inadvertently will become a tool for Akechi Mitsuhide's atonement.Nobushige Sanada's unconvinced attack will become Mitsuhide Akechi's last hope.

Hashiba Hideyoshi nodded.

"Calm down, let's go, let's go to the front and look for weak points in the defense line."

"I am very clear about Maeda Masaki's personality. Although she hates Mitsuhide Akechi, this battle has a lot to do with the rise and fall of Shiba, and she will never retain her strength.

At this time, Yiyin was trying his best to make peace with each other, but he never thought that his inadvertent appeasement would finally save himself from defeat and save himself from a desperate situation.

Among them, Nizi Shengjiu is the most detached.

Calm down, don't let down the expectations of the sisters. "

"Maeda Yoshitoshi is a senior general in recent years, and I will not interfere with her command.

It is said that these Sanadas who came from afar are the strongest soldiers in the Kanto region, just to see if they are worthy of the legendary bravery and combat skills. "

Akechi Mitsuhide miscalculated Oda Nobunaga's strategy and was confused by her trap, causing Yoshigin to make a misjudgment and almost caused an irreversible defeat.

Yoshigin's idea was that after he attacked anyway, Oda's main force would soon be defeated, and Oda Nobunaga had no choice but to withdraw.

"what's up?"

"Then let her do the work. Isn't she pushing you out just to take all the credit? We just give it up.

Maeda Masaki is indeed willing to sacrifice everything for the Shiba family and give everything for the king.However, that doesn't mean she won't cheat Akechi Mitsuhide.

You said that at this critical juncture, Shiba's army is not up, and Akechi Mitsuhide is still in the formation, can everyone not panic?
Even if I saw Akechi Mitsuhide smiling at this moment, my heart beat.

Even Oda Nobunaga thought it was Mitsuhide Akechi who betrayed Masaru Isono, and Yoshihiro Shiba rewarded him for his meritorious service after the war, and the benefits of Mitsuhide Akechi were indispensable.

Of course, it was impossible for Hashiba Hideyoshi to go out and brag that he was a hindrance to this incident, so the big credit naturally fell to Akechi Mitsuhide.

Uno Toshiichi said calmly with the same face of a three-none girl.

Those who dare not offend her call her a poisonous person behind her back, and those who hate her call her a poisonous snake.

She may be busier than Nizi Shengjiu now, involving various interests, and she is not from a battle formation, let alone participate in the battlefield.

The effective firing range of Fran's cannon is between 500 meters and 500 meters. The artillery team is located on Tangmu Mountain and bombards the small plain below the mountain. It can basically cover this small plain with a radius of two kilometers.

Hashiba Hideyoshi pondered.

"They can be excited, because the Jin Duo Temple gave them two hundred braids, which is enough to make them go through fire and water without hesitation.

Yoshigin didn't know that Oda Nobunaga risked opening the door to the territory and transferred all the troops defending Minami Omi and Dong Mino here.

While Yoshihiro was staring at the front in a daze, Gamo Shigo came from behind.

"The Hosokawa and Mibuchi families are the core allies of the Shiba family in recent days, and Hosokawa Fujitaka is also your most powerful supporter.

Yi Yin faintly felt this, but he couldn't say it, he could only pretend to be confused, scolded his mother in his heart, and praised Maeda Yili's loyalty with tears in his eyes.

Nobushige Sanada took a deep breath, let it out slowly, and then nodded to Unino Tori.

"You don't have to do anything, we just watch.

Akechi Mitsuhide won't be able to contribute an inch to Maeda's interests, and if Hosokawa Fujitaka is dissatisfied because of this, it will be another trouble sooner or later.

In recent days, the internal affairs of the coalition forces are too complicated. Many people have small thoughts in their hearts. If we want them to go all out to fight, we must set an example.

Maeda Yoshiki must have made a deal with Hosokawa Fujitaka, so the Hosokawa army was willing to go first.

In the diplomatic turmoil before the war, Mitsuhide Akechi had made a lot of contributions, especially Masahiro Isino, who allowed the Shiba family to win Takashima County in one fell swoop and win the initiative at the strategic level.

Nizi Shengjiu himself is the acting official of Jinjisipo, who Yiyin accepted his fate, and is in charge of internal affairs.Yamanaka Yukimori, who is as close as a sister, serves as the deacon of the Kanto waiter, and is actually the head of the Shiba family Kanto.

"Your Majesty, there is a battle ahead.

On the south side of the Jianyue defense line, Hashiba Hideyoshi looked at the nervous Ashgaru at the front, and said to Takenaka Shigeharu beside him.

---

Yiyin, who was lurking in the fox mound in the north, was hiding in the forest with five hundred concentric people. He looked up at the sky, and just less than five kilometers away from him, a big battle had already begun.

No matter how high-sounding the reason for Maeda's expulsion of Akechi Mitsuhide from the front line, it is unavoidable to be suspected of suppressing his love rival, and the appearance is too ugly.

Nobushige Sanada stood on the bank of the Iiura River, watching teams of high-spirited Sanadas crossing the river, said Uno Toshiichi beside her.

She let Hosokawa Fujitaka take the vanguard, perhaps out of public interest.But throwing Akechi Mitsuhide to Tangmushan to eat ashes must be selfish.

Maeda Masayoshi, as the general of the recent few, has a high position and weight, and a heavier responsibility.

The Siba family is in the recent Big Four, Niko, Takada, Maeda, and Akechi.

Akechi Mitsuhide and Hosokawa Fujitaka have formed a comprehensive partnership, which is a comprehensive cooperation from flesh to profit.

Hashiba Hideyoshi couldn't help laughing out loud, Takenaka Shigeharu shook his head and said.

However, I don't think it's that easy.

Then, I proposed that my troops control the southern line and protect the shortcut to Changbin City in the rear.

The position of the Nizi Mountain Party in Shibo's family is as stable as Mount Nizi, and Nizi Shengjiu himself keeps a low profile. He doesn't want to mess with Yiyin, and he doesn't participate in the messy internal strife in recent days. He is very trusted by Yiyin.

The battle of Yu Wuhu has already begun, and the wheel of history is rolling forward without stopping for a moment.

---

Takenaka Shigeharu shook his head and said.

At this time, it is necessary for someone like Hosokawa Fujitaka to take the lead and show it to everyone.

"The opponent seems to have given up the defense of the river and concentrated all their forces on the hills, earth barriers, fences, and ditches in front of them.

Yoshigin attacked and handed over the highest command to Akechi Mitsuhide, which shows that Akechi Mitsuhide is in the heart of the king, so he can appease Akechi Hosokawa's faction and cover up Maeda's small thoughts.

Unity comes at a price. In times of crisis, there is only responsibility.

Your lord, you have become a 12-stone daimyo by virtue of your military exploits in attacking Qianjing. How many people are red-eyed behind their backs, she is jealous of you. "

Sanada Nobushige snorted coldly and said.

The main force of Oda in Higashinoyama is just the bait for Oda Nobunaga to seduce Yoshigin to attack.Oda Nobunaga's real trump card is the [-] reinforcements she hid in Kinomoto.

"What if Kazumasu Takigawa blocked the Sanada Army's offensive?"

"After all, I'm from a bad background. In the past, those people in the mother's clothing group looked down on me, but now the people they didn't like climbed on their heads, so it's naturally unbearable.

Takada Yangnai raised military funds and continuously converted the 200 million shi military expenditure into actual materials to supply the needs of two places in the Kanto region.

As for Akechi Mitsuhide, she made a mistake last time and I cut off her territory. Her strength is already weak, and she has a heavy heart. Everyone fears her.

The time for the Nanban artillery team to act was just after the main force of Oda from Higashino Mountain went down the mountain. The sound of their artillery fire was the clarion call for Yiyin to lead his troops to charge.

But Mitsuhide Akechi was very lucky, God gave her a chance to make up for her mistakes.

"Onboard! Onboard!"

Just because the Hosokawa Mibuchi family are the most important allies of our Shiba family, and because Hosokawa Fujitaka followed closely with me, she had to go first.

If someone else stabs me with the order from the front, you will drive the envoy back.I believe in Maeda's interests, and I will not be Chang Kaishen. "

"According to your suggestion, I made some comments to Kazuyoshi Takigawa, and she was really impatient.

Kazuyoshi Takigawa forcibly took over the line of defense, and threw me here to watch the passage on the southern route. My responsibility was cleared.

After thinking about it, and looking at Gamo's hometown, Yiyin still felt a little guilty, so he sighed.

"After all, Kazuyoshi Takigawa is a close confidant of the main hall, the second person in the family, second only to Hengxing Ikeda, so he must be a little arrogant.

"Has Akechi Mitsuhide already gone to Tangmu Mountain? An envoy was sent to her to inform her. After I attacked, she took over the affairs of the battlefield from me.

The Nanman Artillery Team, which he had high hopes for, was in Tangmu Mountain, less than two kilometers away from the main battlefield.

If it was really necessary, she would not hesitate to throw all the wealth of the Iga Maeda family into it.

She was in charge of the supply line this time, and she was Yiyin's logistics manager, so she did not go to the battlefield.

At first, it was only the groups of people in front of them who were shouting, but their shouts seemed to have infected the Sanada crowd in the distance, and more and more people shouted, gradually converging into a sky-shattering shout.

Is Maeda Masaki-sama's move suspected of private use of public equipment?Will it cause dissatisfaction with the Hosokawa Mibuchi family? "

"Look, this is my sister, she has a strong military spirit! That guy named Takigawa on the Chiyue defense line, can she block my full-strength attack from Sanada?"

Therefore, among the recent Big Four, only Maeda Yoshihiro and Akechi Mitsuhide have fully participated in the joint battle.

Maeda's interests just don't want Akechi Mitsuhide to get any more credit, this move is to suppress Akechi Mitsuhide's post-war rewards.

After all, the Sanada Army has 1 people. Although the Jianyue defense line has been well arranged for a month, the morale of the Kita Omi people is too low, and the number is only a few thousand. Even if there is a favorable location, it is difficult to stop the offensive.

Anyway, Masahiro Isano's act of righteousness had a great impact on the people of Kita Omi. Kazuyoshi Takigawa was unabashedly wary, and it made Sadasaki Aguan see his essence as cannon fodder, and his morale was even lower. "

Hashiba Hideyoshi sighed.

"Beijinjiang people are also pitiful. The mice in the bellows are getting angry at both ends."
