Pillars of the Wu family

With 4000 against [-], the two wings of the Miyoshi Yoshin Army were destroyed within two hours of the battle, and more than [-] people were killed successively. What should the five thousand and three good troops do?

No matter how tough the Kira Army is, he is still a human being, not an omnipotent god. Even gods need to rest when they create the world, not to mention that flesh and blood are always exhausted.

It was the scorching heat of July, and the sun hanging high in the sky exuded terrible heat. It seemed that the high temperature that burned everything evaporated the water in the body little by little. After fighting in this harsh environment for half a day, I was thirsty and tired. It is already unable to continue fighting, and if it continues to fight, it will definitely suffer large losses.

"Rukaku Sakyo has led the army to come!" Only then did the warriors see the figure of Rokkaku Yoshin. It was less than a mile from the west bank of the Kamo River to here, and it took nearly two hours from landing to walking. This skill Not generally strong.

Ma, who was in charge of the formation's defense mission, returned to General Shangang, and stood there for a long time. Hearing the news, he couldn't help coming over and said, "I must have seen Miyoshi Yoshiken start to retreat, and wanted to come to pick up a bargain?"

Kira Yoshitoki glared at him and ignored this guy, and continued to issue orders with a straight face: "Order all the troops to gather forces, move closer to the main formation, and leave the source of the Katsura River to the Liujia Army! Tell the Liujia Zakyoden that the front is Miyoshi Chikuzen's main force , please be sure to withstand the attack!"

Yamaoka Shichang was dumbfounded, and hurriedly asked: "What about us?"

"Eat where you are! Aren't you hungry after fighting for so long? Take out the waist you're carrying and eat." Yoshitomo Yoshitomo left the hill in a grumpy manner, and turned to the back of the screen. An exquisite rice bento with sashimi.See the white flesh of the fish.Kira Yoshitoki frowned.

"I don't like eating fish sticks!"

"This is not fish cake! Chiyo-noe knows that His Highness doesn't like fish cakes. She has scalded them repeatedly in boiling water. It is absolutely different from fish cakes! Your Highness, please try Chiyo-no's handiwork!" In front of his mouth, Ji Liangyi looked around in embarrassment, and found that no outsider ate it in one bite.

"Well, there's soy sauce, vinegar, and wasabi? It's so pungent!" Yoshitoki Kira didn't like the taste of wasabi, but he still had to eat it, because Japan mainly eats seafood such as fish and shrimp.And mustard has a strong detoxification function, which can detoxify fish and crabs, so this eating habit has been formed in the Middle Ages.

Mochizuki Chiyo asked expectantly: "Your Highness! Are the bento made by Chiyo delicious?"

"Uh...except for the wasabi, it's really good!"

"Great! Great!" Mochizuki Chiyo jumped up excitedly, jumping and jumping around several times on the spot.

Koshiro Hattori appeared at a very inopportune time, lowered his head and said respectfully: "Master of the museum! Miyoshi Yoshiken's troops have retreated into the main formation of the Miyoshi Army, and the Miyoshi Army has temporarily stopped attacking!"

"Well! Tell the master, the reserve team after eating will go to clean up the battlefield. The spoils of war cannot be left to the opponent, and the navy should move quickly." Yoshihiro Kira caught a glimpse of Koshiro Hattori.Unconsciously, she turned her eyes to Mochizuki Chiyo's little face, and said thoughtfully, "And ask your uncle to come and see the family!"

"Yes!" Koshiro Hattori stepped back quietly.But Masaki Hattori appeared in the place where Hattori Koshiro had been staying for a while, and said in a low voice, "Lord Master!"

"Bring back those thirty female ninjas from the Hyakuchi and Fujibayashi family! The sons of the head of the house have also reached the age of starting a family. After the war, Hattori Yasumoto married Momoji Kaede, Hattori Yasama married Fujibayashi Taki, Koshiro Ye Yuanfu! How about calling Hattori Masashige? Let Koshiro and Hattori Hotoshi also find a marriage in the ninja!"

"Yes!"

"Forget about the married ninja, and the rest of the ninja will be handed over to Mochizuki Chiyo. From now on, the guard work of the family will be handed over to them." Speaking of this, Kira Yoshitoki suddenly smiled at the nervous Mochizuki Chiyo , And then said: "And your audience will continue to retain the salary of the establishment, and exercise the power of monitoring the family as the head of the family, and still be responsible to only one person in the family."

"Yes! Your servant will leave!" Masaaki Hattori disappeared without a sound.

Mochizuki Chiyo looked at Hattori Masaaki who had disappeared, hid the dagger at her waist again, turned sideways and whispered, "This uncle's ninjutsu and infiltration are really good! Chiyo has come to His Highness as soon as she found him!"

"Of course, he is the most powerful ninja in the Hattori family. His ability is comparable to that of your uncle. He can be regarded as a strong ninja. You... just practice for a few more years."

"It's so powerful! Chiyonu thought she could protect His Highness!" The idiot Lori froze from the blow.

Yoshitoki Kira comforted: "Didn't I already hand over the power of guard to you? Don't worry, no matter how powerful they are, don't worry!"

"Why don't you worry about Chiyo?"

"Because you're an idiot!"

"Eh? How could Chiyo Girl be an idiot?" The idiot Lori hugged her head, showing a sad expression.

……

The high-intensity battle for most of the day brought great pressure to both sides. Miyoshi Yoshiken's unit was beaten and almost collapsed. The soldiers who retreated were not only tired and hungry, but also suffered heavy blows from the collapse, and their morale fell all the way. Freezing Point is much worse than the victorious Kira Army, completely unable to fight again.

Miyoshi Changqing seems to be listening to the advice of Miyoshi Yoshiken, and it may also be that the joining of the Hexagonal Army has brought the forces of both sides to the same starting line. In short, this joint raid failed in the end, and the original goal of crossing the Katsura River landing was achieved. But the price was too heavy, so Miyoshi Changqing did not choose to continue to attack, and both sides took the opportunity to eat and rest every minute.

Katsuryuji Castle is located on the southwest bank of the Katsura River. The east is the confluence of the Katsura River and the Kamo River, and the southwest is Tianwang Mountain. Across the Tianwang Mountain is the territory of the Settsu Kingdom. From the castle tower of Katsuryuji Castle, you can clearly overlook the boats on the Yodo River. After falling into the hands of the Miyoshi family, he also became the point of the southern line to monitor and threaten Katsuragawa and Kyoto. At this time, the city It fell into the hands of Miyoshi's family.

Because of Kira Yoshitoki's strong performance.An amazing record of exchanging one thousand for four thousand.Let Miyoshi's family spread the legend that Kira's army was blessed by gods.The warriors of Miyoshi are so brave and good at fighting, and their weapons and armor are beyond imagination. This greatly shocked the warriors of the Miyoshi family. Thousands of warriors of Miyoshi, who were dressed in red and black uniforms, cut through the well-formed army like a sharp knife. It must be the gods and Buddhas who are blessing the Kira family.

"What kind of rumors are these! What's the problem? Why are there always unfavorable rumors? Find out who is spreading the rumors!" Sanhao Changqing angrily dismissed his retainers, rubbed his sore eyes and closed them, Only when his brother was alone with him.Only then will he show a tired posture.

"It's so difficult! It's really too difficult..." With a sigh, it seemed to express the depression of many years: "Do you still remember the oath we four brothers made?"

Reminiscing about his youthful youth, Miyoshi Yoshiken showed sadness on his face: "I remember! How could I forget it! To avenge my father! This is our original ambition, and it is also the beginning of my brother's defection to the Hosokawa family... "

"What are we working so hard for? For fame, fortune, power and status? We already have these, many honors and honors, what else do we need to ask for? Isn't it for the century-old foundation of our Miyoshi family? The Hosokawa family The poor and the weak, and there is no more fighting between heroes in the country, isn't this the good opportunity that the gods and Buddhas have given me to Sanhao's family?" Sanhao Changqing's eyes were deep, and his tone was a little more passionate.

"That's right! If you don't take it, you will be blamed! This is a great opportunity for my Sanhao family, but it's a pity that Matashiro died... Otherwise, our four brothers will gather together. Who else can stop us?"

"Yicun was murdered, and I, Changqing, have always kept it in my heart! This time I defeated the Kira army, and when I captured Kirayoshi alive, he was imprisoned in the monastery. Let him spend his life repenting for Yicun!" Miyoshi Changqing sneered, and after a while he said: " Tell me about the situation of the Kira Army!"

Miyoshi Yoshiken calmly analyzed: "Yes, brother! The quality of Kira's army is no less than that of the four countries in this formation, and it is even better equipped, especially that special army is very strong in terms of morale and combat power. The information sent back two years ago is completely different, but I don’t know what has changed in the past two years?”

"Hmph! Losing so many people in two years and still not getting any useful information, those bastards are really useless!"

Miyoshi Changqing can disapprove of the Kira family, but the changes in the retainer group must be taken seriously. A small rumor is likely to cause a riot. At the same time, we must pay attention to the opinions of Miyoshi Yoshin. In his description, I learned that the Kira army There is a legion with normal equipment, and another with terrible equipment. Whether it is a powerful iron cannon, strong bow, or javelin and cavalry attack, it is unheard of.

This kind of warfare is not any kind of warfare that survives at all. Miyoshi Yoshiken is very sure of this. Such an elite army is probably only experienced by the legendary Mongolian army. This makes him have to suspect that it is A legion of warriors, but three thousand warriors make a legion?This is unbelievable, there are only a few thousand warriors in the Three Rivers Kingdom!This is obviously illogical. At this time, Miyoshi Changqing also realized that he was a little bit contemptuous of this young child.

What Miyoshi Changqing was thinking about was another question. The defeat of Miyoshi Yoshiken did not lie in his incompetence in commanding troops or incompetence in his subordinates. Even with the superior force, they were still unable to hold out for two hours. This shows how terrifying the attack power of this army is. If it can defeat the two wings of Miyoshi Yoshiken, it can also defeat the two wings of Miyoshi Changqing. Of course he understands this.

So a question arises, how to deal with the powerful Kira army?He now only has 7000 troops in his hand, while on the opposite side there are more than [-] Kira Army who are worthy of a battle, and there are also [-] troops of the Hexagonal Army. Enough to make Miyoshi Changqing feel nerve-wracking.

But the capital was right in front of him, and he was unwilling to just retreat like this. The two sides fought each other because of their own reasons, and no one wanted to rush to do it, so there was a stalemate.

Just after noon, a bad news came from Miyoshi's family. The Kira Navy blocked the Katsura River and dispersed the Miyoshi family's transfer of soldiers and rations back to the ship. The blast of iron cannons in the morning was the attack from the Kira Navy. The back road of the family was cut off, and the only way out was to enter Danba along the Katsura River.

This dealt a huge blow to the morale of the Miyoshi Army, and the logistical pressure was magnified instantly. Even if he still had [-] shi in his hand, according to the rhythm of fierce battles, he could only last for less than two months, but he could not hold on to the capital for two months. Returning home, what kind of consequences would this have?What about the autumn harvest?It was agreed to end the war before the autumn harvest. If it ended in two months, the warriors of the four countries would not be willing.

"My lord, go out! As long as you defeat Kira's army, is it okay to reach peace with the shogunate?"

"It's really impossible to reach peace with the shogunate now? The people on the other side must have suffered a lot, and the proposal of harmony must be acceptable to them!"

"Bastard! What nonsense are you talking about! Our family has an army of [-], and Tanba has another [-] troops to support! Don't worry about food and grass, just collect from Tanba!"

"You are the bastard! Can the people of Danbo be willing to pay for food and grass?"

"Why can't they pay for food and grass? This is the condition when they surrendered!" (To be continued...)
