different warring states of japan

Chapter 73
Hosokawa Fujitaka felt bad all over, which was different from what he thought.When she pointed out the situation ahead, she showed a well-planned appearance.

Shouldn't Shiba Yoshiyin and his retainers panic and beg themselves for a way out?

Why are you ready to rush up and do it?What kind of man is this?Who's stupefied!
"This is? Yuqi?"

Seeing the Ashikaga Eriner on the white flag clearly, the three women gasped.

Hosokawa Fujitaka and Akechi Mitsuhide really didn't know that Yoshigin had such a thing.Hosokawa Fujitaka has been hiding from his biological mother since he returned to Kyoto, misunderstood that Yoshigin is her fiancé, and a man with a very bad personality.

As soon as the Ashikaga white flag came out, Hosokawa Fujitaka and Akechi Mitsuhide were dumbfounded.They knew that Yiyin was not a direct descendant of the shogunate, so how did they get the white flag?This Sanyuan's mother really spent all her money for her son-in-law.

Otani Yoshitsugu felt even more different.She didn't know the details of Yiyin, but he liked him for his equal attitude and compassion for the patients.

Now pulling out the imperial flag of the Ashikaga family is enough to prove that this Shiba Yoshigin is not only a rare character, but also has an extremely hard background.

Although this person is a young man, maybe he can really lead himself to prosperity.My heart was hot for a while, but now I couldn't tolerate hesitation, so I said cruelly.

"Master Shiba, I would like to follow you and kill the ambushes."

Said, knelt down.

Yiyin looked at her, his eyes turned cold.

"Are you not sick? Pretending?"

"The villain is a skin problem, and the cough is really fake. The Liujiao family sought my territory, and I pretended to be sick and procrastinated in order to survive. This time, the Liujiao family ordered me to lead the army, and they must want to solve me together. !"

Yiyin looked at her, although his head was covered, his voice was choked up, and there were tears in his eyes, which did not seem to be fake.

"I believe in you, follow me to fight. But your farmers and soldiers should be dispersed. Since it is useless, why waste your life."

Yiyin's words made the women look sideways, there is no mistake in this world, and there is no mistake.If there is free cannon fodder, you are either a fool or a sage.

All four girls think about this fool.

The interests are Shiba's retainers, the master speaks, just listen to it.Dagu Jiji wanted to attach himself to Yiyin, but he was obedient.

Hosokawa Fujitaka couldn't help but say.

"Husband's benevolence. Leaving aside the peasants and soldiers, how can you guarantee Dagu's loyalty? She pretended to be sick and lied to us before, so how can you trust her?"

"I am the chief general sent by the shogunate, and I can do whatever I say. If Mr. Hosokawa feels something is wrong, you can return to Kyoto now to expose the conspiracy of the Liujiao family to Mr. Gongfang."

When it comes to war, Yiyin is too lazy to worry about the temper of the noble girl.

He also thought about turning back.Anyway, Nobunaga's guardian code has already been sent out, even if this time the battle fails, the shogunate can't blame himself.

But Liujiao's family is in Omi, and Kitaise also has power.If I have a grudge with it, the road back to Owari will be difficult.Simply bump your fists and fight with the tiger skin of the shogunate.

Teach me a lesson, the Liujiao family will have to think carefully about what they want to do to themselves in the future, whether the price will be too high.

Hosokawa Fujitaka turned blue with anger.She is a noble girl from a famous family, she has been admired by everyone since she was a Ji warrior, how could she have been ridiculed like this.

Akechi Mitsuhide beside him couldn't help shaking his head, Hosokawa is a good adviser, but he lacks the vigor on the battlefield.

Yi Yin firmly believed in Otani Yoshitsugu's explanation.When the war is urgent, one more person means more strength.If Dagu really showed a problem later, he would definitely hack her to death with a backhand knife.

Although Fujitaka Hosokawa thought more thoroughly, but in the current situation, there is no time to look forward and backward.Believe it or leave, hesitation also frustrates Otani Yoshitsugu's heart to serve.

This Mr. Shiba is a character, Akechi Mitsuhide nodded secretly.Pull Fujitaka Hosokawa not to be impulsive, after all, she is also a best friend. These days, her mind is a little weak because of marriage, so she needs to take care of her more.

"Dagu, tell us about the terrain of the valley ahead."

Yi Yin was not in a hurry to go into battle, Otani Yoshitsugu was from Omi, so he had to figure out the situation first.

"Yes, my lord. This valley is a mountain gorge with towering cliffs on both sides. The stream in the middle is shallow and can probably submerge your feet. You can drive horses and vehicles on the bank. The valley is about ten miles long. It is a road from Megada Castle to Kyoto Common trade route."

Otani Yoshitsugu walked this road when he came here, and he also spoke eloquently and clearly.

Interest listened and asked.

"Is it feasible if rolling stone bows and arrows are prepared to attack us on the mountains on both sides?"

"I don't think so. Our number is too small, and the valley is wide and has many dead ends. The cliffs on both sides can't let people down, and it will be very embarrassing to fight. After all, it's not a large army passing through, and there are advantages to having fewer people."

Otani Yoshitsugu replied.

Akechi Mitsuhide thought for a while and said.

"We have a small number of people, and there will not be many enemy troops. If the cliff can't let people down, if we want to use rolling stone bows and arrows, we have to divide the army into four parts, intercepting front and back and attacking from both sides. This is too inefficient."

Thinking about the benefits, he nodded.

"You're right. The most likely thing is to block the front and rear roads after we enter. After we enter the valley, we mount our horses and rush forward, directly attacking the enemy troops blocking the road ahead. Let them end up unable to look at each other and defeat them one by one."

Otani Yoshitsuji nodded and agreed.

"This method is fine. They cannot communicate with each other before and after the valley. The enemy behind will definitely not follow too closely in order to lure us deep. As long as they enter the valley and hurry, when they find that something is wrong, they have bought enough time gone."

Yiyin himself doesn't understand the principles of these wars. He just relies on cheats to go into battle and kill people. His other calculations are far worse than these Ji warriors.If everyone feels good, then do so.

"Then..."

"Hey."

Yoshigin looked at Hosokawa Fujitaka, who was the one who sneered just now.

"You missed a little bit. Since we set off today, we haven't encountered any caravan coming ahead. The front of the valley must have been blocked. How could the other party not set up a barrier? The few of us can break down the well-prepared column by charging. grid?"

When Yiyin heard this, he felt reasonable.This Hosokawa Fujitaka was right, so he asked.

"Then what do you say?"

"After entering the valley, go forward to a place where you can cover your tracks, and wait for the enemy troops blocking the road from behind to come. One turn back the carbine and kill her by surprise."

Finally had a chance to show his wisdom, Hosokawa Fujitaka raised his head and said.

It's a pity that no one looked at her, they were all thinking about the pros and cons of this move.

Yiyin thought that this move was more appropriate than the previous tactics, and seeing that the girls all nodded and thought it was good, he decided.

"Let's do this. Dagu, you disperse the peasants and soldiers first. Dagu and Maeda have a body, and charge left and right with me. Lend a horse to Dagu from Mr. Zhizhi. The two of you have no protection, and you will share a horse in the back to take charge of the raid. Cover up."

Akechi Mitsuhide nodded and dismounted to express his obedience.Hosokawa Fujitaka pouted, still thinking that it was good for the farmers and soldiers to keep the strength to consume the enemy.Ke Yiyin had refused before, and didn't want to talk about it again.

Seeing the appearance of the four daughters, Yiyin didn't quite understand why the peasants and soldiers were dismissed, feeling helpless.

You warriors really don't take the lives of civilians seriously, you can lose more than [-] heads if you can consume a little energy of the enemy.

It's just that he couldn't bear it, and he was too lazy to explain to these killers, so he could only say arrogantly.

"Hmph, I don't need these untouchables to block the knife for me."

Akechi Mitsuhide's eyes lit up, and there was light.
