A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Yamauchi Yoshiharu looked at the agitated Yamauchi Yoshikatsu and said, "Taro, wait a minute." After all, what Yamauchi Yoshikatsu said was somewhat reasonable, and he needed to be convinced with reasonable evidence, so Yamauchi Yoshiharu looked at Jin and followed Yamauchi's plan head.

The chief accountant in Yamauchi saw his elder brother looking at him and knew what his elder brother meant. After thinking for a while, he nodded: "Brother, wait a moment."

Then the two brothers stopped even making eye contact, nothing more. Just close your eyes and rest your mind with nothing else in mind. Yamauchi Yoshikatsu saw that his father and uncle were ignoring him at the same time, and he couldn't force them to answer. It doesn't matter if I stand there and walk, it doesn't matter if I don't walk, it's very frustrating to be unable to do anything.

A few people sat in awkward silence for a while. Yamauchi Yoshikatsu saw his friend Hosokawa Harimei who had opened the curtain and walked in. The two had grown up together in urine and mud, so they quickly took him to discuss.

My father and uncle were half-talking, scratching their hearts, but they couldn't ask any questions. Fortunately, his little friend Hosokawa Tarime is now also a general in charge of the army. She has the right to speak and the right to know, so she can share her grievances with him and discuss these matters with him.

The two of them were still whispering, and Heita Xiao finally settled down the soldiers and entered the curtain. Uncle Tsuna was the second one to break into the Takeda main formation. He had already sat down inside the curtain, and when he saw Mr Heita entering the tent, he greeted him. Come and sit down.

Taichi Kodaira saw that the shogunate was quiet, and before entering the tent, he saw Yamauchi Yoshikatsu and Hosokawa Saime talking quietly and quickly outside the curtain, as if they were discussing some important matter, so he and his uncle Tsunara nuzzled their ears.

"What's going on now?" Xiao Pingtai looked embarrassed and a little cold.

"Young Master proposed to pursue the Takeda Army immediately. His Highness was non-committal and seemed to have the intention to stop the advance." Uncle Tsunade was separated from Yamauchi Yoshiharu by four people anyway, so he was not afraid of being overheard by Yamauchi Yoshiharu, so he spoke quietly to Xiaoheita. Let’s talk about what happened just now.

Xiaopingtai understood as soon as he heard it. It turned out that it was such a thing. Beating up a drowned dog (killing you while you are sick) shouldn't be a matter of course. Why are you still hesitating? Xiaopingtai had many questions in her mind.

Moreover, the Takeda Army was almost defeated miserably in this battle, and the Ashigaru people died. Less than half of the samurai were dead, and even Takeda Harunobu fled in panic on horseback.

"Your Highness, do you have any instructions?" "Not at all. I have been sitting there for a long time." Uncle Tsunliang was also confused. After all, it is quite rare for a coach to not make a decision when the situation is so obvious.

The two exchanged a few words with each other, but couldn't figure out a clue. I simply stopped guessing and just waited for Yamauchi Yoshiharu to announce the final result.

As soon as the two people stopped, a messenger from outside the curtain hurriedly walked in, knelt down in front of Yamauchi Yoshiji, and then respectfully presented a volume of documents. Yamauchi Yoshiharu didn't take it, he sighed slightly and indistinguishably, then turned to look at Yamauchi's chief accountant, and motioned for him to pick it up and take a look.

After the Yamauchi chief accountant and his brother looked at each other, he slowly stood up and took the document from the envoy's hand.

"Let Taro and Zainyu come in and listen together." Yamauchi Yoshiharu spoke up and ordered the attendants to go outside the tent to look for Yamauchi Yoshikatsu and Hosokawa Zainyu and ask them to come in quickly.

Everyone knew that some big news was about to be announced. They held their breath and concentrated. The chief accountant in the mountain unfolded the book and began to read with a heavy tone.

"The leader of the Hatamoto team so-and-so died in the battle, the leader of the Hatamoto team so-and-so died in the battle, the leader of the bow team so-and-so died in the battle, the leader of the iron artillery team so-and-so died in the battle, the leader of the Changqian team Yoshihiro Murakami died in the battle, and the leader of the long-range team so-and-so died in the battle , a certain family member died in the war."

As everyone listened to the news, their hearts became heavier and their faces became stiffer. Taking a breath of air, the voices, faces, and smiles of the warriors they were so familiar with were still in front of them, but they never imagined that they had all died in battle.

Xiaopingtai's headquarters did not suffer too many casualties. Although they fought several battles, not many people died. Even if there are a few unfortunate and heroic ones, they are only a handful. Therefore, Koheita was not too clear about the overall casualties of the Yamauchi Army, and even thought that the losses were relatively minor.

After listening to the casualty statistics of the Yamauchi chief, although Koheita actually did not know these middle and lower-class samurai, he could not help but feel sad. After all, they were all his colleagues, but seven of them were lost in less than two hours. A named samurai.

"Fifty-five members of the public died in the battle, more than 400 people were killed in Ashigaru and miscellaneous soldiers, and more than 1,200 people were wounded in the battle."

It would be fine if seven samurai died in the battle, but this is not over yet. Feng Gong, the backbone of the entire army in the mountain, leads only more than 600 people in the entire mountain (of course this does not include other men in their families who are not serving in the army). All of a sudden, the battle Fifty-five people died, and one-tenth of the military strength was directly annihilated. The Fengggong group suffered a heavy blow, which was shocking.

As for the more than 400 people killed by Ashigaru, Kozhajinfu and other miscellaneous soldiers, it pales in comparison. They are just civilian lives, so it is not too heartbreaking.

Yamauchi Yoshikatsu, who had originally urged the pursuit, fell silent after hearing the words of Yamauchi's chief planner. The Yamauchi cavalry he temporarily formed had more than a dozen of his cavalry dead just because of Oyamada Nobu's stone throw. He felt distressed and fought to the death, but he didn't expect that his troops would also suffer many casualties.

In the first battle, the Yamauchi Army lost 500 people and injured 1,200 people. This was already a serious injury to the 11,500-strong Yamauchi Army. (After all, in addition to being soldiers, these people are also strong laborers in the territory. After they are killed or injured in battle, they will affect the agricultural production of the territory.

If it had not been for the brilliant victory, the army in the feudal era would not have been able to withstand such a huge casualty rate and would have collapsed long ago.

It is inconvenient for everyone to speak now. Only the second elder of the family, Ejiri Jodai Isshiki's young assistant, is old enough and has high prestige.

"Although the losses were quite heavy, our army was completely victorious. Army A's losses were five to ten times that of our army. Don't lose the courage of the Wu family."

"During the Homoto-Heiji Rebellion, my ancestors of the Minamoto clan, the father buried his son, the son restrained his father, and they fought back and forth, and finally completely destroyed the powerful Taira clan at Dannoura. An earthen pot cannot be broken without leaving the well mouth, and a general will inevitably break it. Death in battle. This is the fate of the Wu family!"

After Isshiki Miyauchi finished speaking, he immediately stepped forward to congratulate Yamauchi Yoshiharu. "Your Highness defeated the Jia army with tens of thousands of elite soldiers in a battle (it was said that there were nine thousand and five in total), and became famous in the Eastern Kingdom. I am not very happy."

The generals in the mountain also changed their mood, yes! It was our Yamauchi army that defeated the Takeda army, so we should be happy.

The chief planner in the mountain then took advantage of the situation and said: "We should first make a real test, reward the three armies, and then talk about other things!"
