Pillars of the Wu family

The agreement was finally finalized, but everything was far from over. Disputes arose over how to divide the army of more than [-] troops into two parts. Hu Zi stared and couldn't pull back, and the two were so angry that they couldn't do anything.

Who told someone to subdue Yuezhong Yikui's most arrogant Shengxing Temple Yuncheng with a sudden show of his hand? The influence of the two of them has been depreciated in the eyes of Yuezhongfang officials. It is obvious to change to a thicker thigh at this time. It is a better choice, only the post of Shenbao chief can't be chosen, he is not a square official in the Yikui system, no matter how annoyed he will be with two old monks.

The situation was almost tilted towards the Kaga Ichikui army. With the support of this group of idiots, Guangdeji Chengxian took the military command with little effort. In the end, he was comforted by his conscience. Ruiquan Temple Tanxiu promised to let him lead an army of [-] to attack Yujin City, and encouraged the two of them. That Yujin City only had [-] defenders, which was simply an achievement given to them.

Ruiquan Temple Tanxiu greeted him with a smirk, turned around and scolded Guangde Temple for being a virtuous and hypocritical person. Before that, he didn't mention the important information that Yujin City only had one thousand defenders. It was obviously intentional to say it at the end. For this reason, if it is placed in the Chinese coalition army that the general secretly hides information, it is enough to turn the barracks upside down. Kui has always been unhappy with this set, and the two of them have nothing to do with the tricks played by Chengxian in Guangde Temple.

The original big camps were divided into one camp each, and the clear-cut combination can show the difference in their respective positions. It is helpless for Guangde Temple to give them 3 troops hypocritically. Or the Pudaifang officials, or the people of the country bought by the law such as Jimbo Changjo, Ishiguro Mitsuna, and Ishiguro Chengzuna.

Instead of staying in the big camp and disgusting yourself from time to time, it's better to just kick the second general Henha and let them go to fish Jincheng by themselves. His plan can't be disrupted by these people who can't control him. Capture Songcang Castle and control half of Yuezhong , the next step will be to join forces with the Kaga Ichikui army to attack the Noto country, and complete the basic goal of Hokuriku's "Buddhist country on the ground" set by the master of Hokuriku ahead of schedule.

As for Echigo?He never thought about it, thinking about the existence of a gap between relatives and children, like a chasm in the sky.He didn't have any interest or appetite for Echigo, or he didn't have that appetite for the time being. In case Echigo couldn't sustain the massive attack by Shinano and Ueno, he didn't rule out the opportunity to lead the army to take advantage of Echigo.

The torrential rain in August seemed to stop. The continuous rain not only brought great difficulties to the life of the [-] soldiers, but also brought unexpected disasters. .Like a battered kettle a flood of water gushes from its breach.

Fortunately, although there are no great rivers in Yuezhong, there are a lot of small rivers and ditches. The flooded rivers fill up the ditches and canals, which almost block up those flooded rivers. The square official still understands that if the embankment is not blocked, something big will happen sooner or later.So 3 to [-] people were organized to block the damaged embankment. [

It’s hard to get through the rainy season, and there’s only one month left before the autumn harvest. Whether it’s Chengxian of Guangde Temple, Yuncheng of Shengxing Temple, Tanxiu of Zuisenji Temple, Jinbao Chief, Mitsukan Ishiguro, they can’t sit still. Yes, no matter how many Yixiang Yikui troops were forced to disband in the autumn harvest, there is no such thing as military service in Yixiangzong.It all relies on words to encourage believers to join the army voluntarily as cannon fodder, and the square officials use their own party members as the main force.

The cannon fodder had to go back to collect food, and the officials also had to go back to collect food. In the blink of an eye, there were only two achievements left in the 2000 army. Thank God, even if there were only [-] people left by then, it would not be too strange.

As a storm that swept through Yuezhong gradually dissipated, the day after the storm ended, Shengxingji Yuncheng led the [-] troops to Uojin City. When he left, he swore that he would take the city and let him go. They realized how wrong their choice was, Guangde Temple Chengxian watched them leave in embarrassment.Seems like he doesn't care.

"No matter what, I'm going to settle this Yuezhong!" Guangde Temple Chengxian turned around and gave orders, and soon the army beat the Zhanjun taiko, followed by a sudden movement of Xiangyi Kuijun, followed by the sound of a low-pitched conch At this time, the [-] troops began to move in a large area, and they crossed the river shouting the name of "South Amitabha Buddha".Shouting the dharma, they regrouped, and then rushed to Songcang City in a swarm.

The fanatical believers are always Yikui's biggest reliance. Among the believers, there are men, women, old and young, and there are examples of dragging families with their families and going to battle together.What's even more exaggerated is that the entire village was mobilized. There were five or six hundred people in the village gathered together. Men wearing simple carcass and holding long guns rushed to the front. Old people, women and children shouted slogans and raised hoes and rakes. Qiang followed to attack the city without hesitation.

These people are religious lunatics, they are not as terrible as the most vicious butchers when they kill people, and they are not afraid of death, because they superstitiously believe that they can ascend to heaven and enjoy bliss after death, so Beiling, the southern capital of the five mountains in Jinei, denounced them as evil spirits, Therefore, Hieizan Enryaku-ji Temple is particularly repulsive to Ichikozong.

The organization of the Yikui Army is not strict, and there are many people in their [-]s and [-]s who are marching together. Only when they attack the city will they huddle into a swarm of sardines and charge. The tattered Marugi bow he picked up shot arrows at Shuwei Mountain City. The so-called arrows were sharpened branches, and they fell before flying ten meters away, putting no pressure on the defenders in the city.

The defenders on the city would not be polite to them. The samurai belonging to Kira's new army raised their heavy rattan bows and retaliated against the Ichikui army below the city. The first wave of attacking the city became a veritable one-man show. Climbing towards the top of the city, the most tragic way to attack the city is to climb the city with ants.

Seeing a Kui army below the city begin to climb the city, the number of archers at the top of the city doubled, and the rain of arrows rained down on the head and face. A little girl was shot by the arrows splashed down from the top of the city, and she fell silently. On the ground, his parents just glanced indifferently and recited a few Buddhist names before throwing themselves into the torrent. The dead little girl was trampled into human mud by crazy believers after a while.

I don't know what such a small child is going to rush to the city. Maybe her cruel parents want to take the child to heaven to have fun. For the Yiyi Kui army, this kind of child is not even considered consumables, and the number of soldiers is counted. Children under the age of 12 are ignored here, they are at best a bonus.

The walled city group with Matsukura Castle as the core has a characteristic, that is, all the cities are built near the tops of the hills. This type of walled city defense network is almost the same as Shinano's Stone Stone Castle and Ueno Minawa Castle. What happened, the cut hillside was as steep as a sword.The solid stone walls and arrow sculls have become the best fire output points.

Yixiangyikui army attacked for three days in a row, and it was not easy to form a formation in a small space, which weakened Yixiangyikui's numerical advantage to the greatest extent. The ferocious firepower of Shuiwei Mountain City, Shengxing Mountain City, and Akasaka Village repelled the attacks again and again. Inch-iron old and weak women and children lined up at the front to attack the city, and the bloody scene made people look pale.

These ordinary people have both weapons and armor. When they rush to the bottom of the city, they are desperate to climb up.The old man was stepped down to become a stepping stone for the woman, and then the woman was stepped down by another old man. Before climbing up the top of the city, some people paid their lives for it. Soon, the several roads below the city were filled with corpses of believers , They are like Xiaoqiang who can't be beaten to death. They are beaten back again and again and come back again and again to continue to attack the city.

It was the turn of summer and autumn, and the mountains of corpses piled up under several fortified cities were also cleaned up.Dark red blood was flowing everywhere, exuding an unbearable stench, and the stench of maggots breeding on the corpses filled half the sky. The reckless attack on the city still brought huge psychological pressure to the defenders in the city. The warriors on the arrows did not stand Can't help it, it's like a Shura field in hell, seven or eight Kira's new soldiers in the arrow oar at the top of the city are frightened, and they can't hold the longbow in their hands.

The army supervisors who supervised the battle secretly prayed in their hearts: "It's too miserable. They are simply evil ghosts in hell. May gods and Buddhas bless their reincarnation and avoid such misery..."[

The samurai who led the new army was an immature boy of sixteen or seventeen years old. His name was Shinjiro Uehara, and he came from an old underground family in the castle town of Omi Sakamoto. His family has been craftsmen in the town for generations and is also a local aborigine in Omi. , from the generation of his great-grandfather to the current several generations of management and business, he became one of the old underground families in the castle town. The former family was called the Shinzaemon family.It is now called Uehara Shinzaemon Family.

His family followed the Kira family in the 19th year of Tianwen, and many members of the family served in the military for the Kira family. Shinjiro's father and several clan uncles died in the battles of Fukakusa and Katsuragawa, so they were assigned to the Kira family. Supporters, several widows in the family receive Lumi support from Kira's family every month.

Because of his family's merits, he was attributed to the Kira people who were rooted in Masako. With the merits of his father and brother, this family turned from underground people in the castle town to real samurai. At the age of 16, he became a basic samurai at the head of the Ashgaru group, and he was considered a promising talent in the five thousand new army. At this time, the boy hid in the arrow scull without even daring to lift his head, like a frightened quail.

Ashgaru Banto Honda and Youhei noticed that the arrow oar at the top of the castle had suddenly misfired.He climbed up the arrow scull and yelled at the panicked young man: "Shinjiro! What are you doing! Get up quickly and let them climb up! We will all die! Do you understand if you all die? You make a marriage contract, and then think about your Uehara family's family business, stand up for me!"

"Uncle Yuyoubei! I'm really afraid of them! They're too scary! They're dead..."

"Shut up!" He grabbed Shinjiro Uehara's armor, pressed his head to let him watch, the dense crowd below the city howled wildly and rushed towards the city wall desperately, Honda and Youbingwei twisted their angry faces and shouted: "Show me clearly! Are they human? They are puppets possessed by evil spirits! Only evil spirits can drive out such insanity, so they are evil spirits, and we are warriors! Standing behind us is Genji Dongliang's house, Hachiman Daimyojin stands! What are you afraid of! Tell me what are you afraid of!"

"I... I don't know, they they..."

"They are possessed by evil spirits! We want to rescue the evil spirits from suffering people, use our bows, arrows, knives and guns, understand!"

Uehara Shinjiro shivered in fright, nodded hurriedly: "Ming...understood."

"Then follow my movements, take a deep breath, raise the bow and arrow to aim at them, and launch!"

The black arrow flew out of the arrow scull at an extremely fast speed, and sank into the necks of the middle-aged believers who were crazily climbing below the city. The person who was hit by the arrow subconsciously raised his head to look at the top of the city, his eyes were flickering with frightening fanaticism and cruelty, that is not meekness The eyes that a farmer should have, the bloody pupils gradually faded, until he fell limply and fell into the crowd below and disappeared. The next moment, new believers rushed up, the repeated Buddha's name and the crazy rush to the city, that The scene is like the end of the world.

"They are not human beings, they are puppets possessed by evil spirits. We kill them to save them." Uehara Shinjiro gradually calmed down, his clarified eyes showed firmness, he raised his bow and held the sharp arrow to calmly kill the people below. Has always been one of the crowd.

This is not a siege at all, but just a one-sided massacre, or a fight for consumables in the city with people's lives. It is a huge psychological burden. Not everyone can survive the threshold experienced by Uehara Shinjiro. There are many people who are scared and crazy. Yelling and disturbing the morale of the army were caught by the army and cut off their heads.

If you were an ordinary general, you would definitely be in a mess. If you don’t handle the internal issues well, it may cause even greater turmoil, and it may turn into a military war that has always been easy to enter the city. Judging from the current situation, the effect is good. No matter how timely the pressure in the city is, it will inevitably reduce the combat power. Nearly half of the samurai and ashigaru are in a state of depression.

"Have you seen it? That is the poor monk's tactics. Who will dare to look down on the poor monk's military strategy in the future! If your city is high and deep, if no one can defend it, it will be nothing!" Guangde Temple Chengxian said proudly , The vigor of lashing out at Fang Qiu is quite a bit magnificent.

"Young monks, this method is really ingenious. According to this method of warfare, it will take less than three days to win the next city! It is really ingenious, hehe..." A group of Yuezhongfang officials leaned over and flattered wildly, smiling at the sages of Guangde Temple. It seems that I enjoy the flattery of the stars and the moon.

"Is this how it feels to be flattered? It's really good!" Guangde Temple Chengxian waved his hands reservedly, pretending to be modest and said: "In fact, it is not the case. If the guards in the city are not mediocre, they will always respond. It is still a good idea to seize the city in three days." It’s too much! From the point of view of the poor monk, it only takes five or seven days! We must leave some leeway!”

"Yes, yes, yes! It can be won in five or seven days, so I'll wait and see!" The official of Yuezhongfang threw out flattery words without any money, and walked back to Xiguang Temple with a smile from Chengxian of Guangde Temple. (to be continued...)
