A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

"Father, in that case, please bring all of Yamauchi's subordinates with me." Yamauchi Yoshikatsu seemed to have other ideas.

"Huh? What do you think?" Yamauchi Yoshiharu was assigning soldiers.

"I have sixty cavalry of iron artillery and horses, my father's banner has more than a hundred cavalry, and Feng Gong has two hundred cavalry. Together with the strong attack on the village's defense, it can work wonders."

Yamauchi Yoshikatsu was not afraid of being discovered at all, which is not to say that Murakami Yoshikiyo did not send Monomichi or Meishuke to investigate the battlefield. But the Yamauchi family had no choice but to take the streets of the North Country.

An army of more than 23,000 people takes a small road? Do not make jokes! There were so many packhorses and carts, and countless baggage and provisions, stretching for several kilometers or even tens of thousands of meters from the vanguard to the rear of the team.

Don't look at the six-meter-wide dirt road in Beiguo Street. You can only take this road. It was impossible to go anywhere else. The movements of the Yamauchi Army were actually completely clear. Without satellites or radar, we can all know where the Yamauchi Army is going.

But hundreds of cavalry are different. They can also walk on the trails in the village and go on the animal trails in the mountains. A few hundred cavalry may seem like a lot, but they are still an insignificant part of an army of tens of thousands.

If Yamauchi Yoshikatsu can lead the cavalry into the battlefield from behind and cooperate with the frontal attack by a large group of troops, it will indeed achieve very good results.

Yamauchi Yoshiharu seemed to be moved by this proposal, and quietly discussed it with Hosokawa Harumiya and Isshiki Miyauchi.

"Brother, are you willing to work with me to win the battle?" Yamauchi Yoshikatsu actually targeted the one hundred shogunate cavalry of Fujitaka Mibuchi.

Mibuchi Fujitaka gives the impression that he is a samurai who is elegant, personable, and quite understanding of the world. Even though he was wearing armor and carrying a sword, he didn't show much murderous intent.

Therefore, the samurai of the Yamauchi family, including Koheita, actually did not know much about the martial arts level of the eldest son-in-law of the Yamauchi family. Yamauchi Yoshikatsu's question aroused everyone's interest.

One hundred shogunate cavalry is indeed a force. One cavalry is of little use, but a hundred cavalry are majestic when charging. But this is the cavalry of Ashikaga Yoshiteru. They are here all because of the Hinomaru Hachiman imperial flag, and they are not really here to fight.

"Okay, since you ask Shinshu, I will accompany you this time." Mibuchi Fujitaka agreed happily.

"Thank you for your care, sworn brother!" Yamauchi Yoshikatsu bowed his head and saluted Mibuchi Fujitaka on his horse.

Hey, I agreed so easily. Koheita felt that Anei Yugi had indeed lied to me. This man must also be a samurai who could fight for the upper hand on the battlefield. If he is not good at kung fu, there is no way he can serve beside the swordsman general even if he thinks about it.

"That's great, that's great. You brothers should work together and support each other." Yamauchi Yoshitsugu looked very relieved.

If Mibuchi Fujitaka is going, then the Imperial Flag will definitely go as well. With a little more prestige, Murakami Yoshimitsu and Genji's Imperial Flag will also join Yamauchi Yoshikatsu's surprise attack team.

In this way, they managed to pull together five hundred cavalry. At this scale, it can indeed become a force that can influence the situation of the war.

At this moment, the 23,000-strong army had stopped, and groups were gathering together. Set up camp on a relatively flat plain and cut down trees to collect water.

The most annoying thing is Yamauchi Yoshiharu. Because he issued an order to abandon all baggage, this caused collective dissatisfaction among the Kiso clan, Asahina clan, Uden Mikawa clan, and Ogasawara clan.

They all bring their own rations and weapons!

That's right, they sent out troops to fight, and Yamauchi Yoshiharu didn't care about their food during the first half to a month before they sent out troops!

This is the current situation of foreigners!

Send out troops and people, but also provide food! If you die, you will be considered unlucky, and if you win, you will be left behind in rewards.

They were originally dissatisfied, but now Yamauchi Yoshiharu asked them to abandon their food and baggage, and their belongings were mixed with those of the Yamauchi army. How will it be divided when it is transferred to Kawanakajima? How to get it?

They don't dare to resist on the surface, but they can still do disgusting things by delaying the time to leave the camp and delaying the deployment sequence.

Yamauchi Yoshiharu was so disgusted by them that he wished he could go up and beat them severely. But at this time, how can you get yourself into trouble?

"In that case, tell me the amount, and when we get to Kawanaka Island, I'll give you twice as much!" Yamauchi Yoshikatsu was extremely annoyed. He had to quickly mobilize all the cavalry in the army without delay.

"Huh?" The foreigners who were still chattering looked at Yoshiharu Yamauchi in unison after hearing what Yoshikatsu Yamauchi said.

Does that clearly mean what your son said? If it works out, everything will be fine, and we will abandon all our luggage.

"Is that all right?" Yamauchi Yoshiharu waved his hand, and agreed with great trouble.

After hearing the words of Yamauchi Yoshiharu, everyone outside who had been talking non-stop looked like His Highness was wise. The Hokahata University next to them took out pen and paper and asked them to write down the amount, and then signed it with the monogram of Yamauchi Yoshiharu.

"The rule of the Yamauchi family is still unstable!" Xiao Pingtai thought to herself, this kind of governance model has too many disadvantages. There will come a time when all the people of the country will be made into retainers, and then the genealogy of retainers will be transformed into generations.

This episode passed quickly, and only Yamauchi Yoshiharu was bleeding. Anyway, the rice he harvested last year filled the treasury, so these people could eat more.

The samurai generals and ministers of each team are working hard to separate the armies. The original model of organizing troops by region has been broken. The reserve teams of four, five hundred or even a thousand people have been cut down, and only less than half of the actual capabilities have been cut. War strength.

The small reserve teams must be merged, and the large reserve teams must be replenished. Many soldiers also had many belongings and were ordered to leave them all behind. Everyone could only wrap them up in straw mats or bags, howling like ghosts, and then entrust them to the jinfu servants from the same town and village.

The most pitiable thing is some samurai. We have mentioned that Yamauchi Yoshiharu's Hatamoto samurai has everything. Those who have to carry a basket of stones and use a slingshot when going out, and those who use three or four meters long wooden sticks, go cry! They can only find someone to carry it with them.

It was almost dark when the new teams were finally assigned. Then we ate quickly and rested.

Naturally, Yamauchi Yoshikatsu didn't sleep. He took his five hundred cavalry with him. This time they didn't have any accompanying infantry. Many warriors could not adapt to it, so they had to put on their armor and lie down in their clothes.

"When Shinshu is here, you must be sure to look for the opportunity to fight. When your highness's group is entangled, look for opportunities to attack and defeat the enemy." Koheita, as the head of the flag book, handed over a hundred flag book cavalry to Yamauchi Yoshikatsu.

"I know that you will fight bravely tomorrow, Heita. I am waiting for the news of your beheading and meritorious service." Yamauchi Yoshikatsu patted Heita's arm.

"After all, this is a battle between His Highness, I can't lag behind others. Go and have a rest."

Yamauchi Yisheng walked farther and farther, and his back gradually faded.
