A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

"Brother, what the doctor said is so certain. If you go out in person to fight, your life will not be long!"

At this moment, only two brothers, Yoshinori Yamauchi and Yosada Yamauchi, are left in the residence of Fuchu Castle. The two of them talk with less care and no longer have to be so reserved.

The current situation is like this. If you don't go, you can lie down in Shanuchi Fuzhongcheng and take good care of yourself. I don't dare say it for ten or eight years. It won't be a big problem if you delay it for two or three more years.

After all, a stroke is an acute illness at the moment, and it won’t work if the person is not rescued for several hours. But now he has been rescued, although the medical level is not very high and the medical conditions are also poor. But a good life is about to be raised. I dare not say it will be good. It will not be difficult to think about it for some time.

But if you force yourself to go into battle, not only will your body be unable to bear it, but you may also die on the way. At that time, a commotion in the imperial family was really unavoidable!

"Master Planner, there are undercurrents surging in the mountain, and the one in Fukashi Castle has not responded yet. The Kiso father and son are dealing with me on the surface, but the Hamamatsu people can't even look perfunctory."

"Who else could I do at this moment?" Yamauchi Yoshiji's face had a stroke, and his muscles were out of control, making him look cold.

"Three good traitors! Humans and gods are angry!" The mastermind of Yamauchi was extremely angry. If Yamauchi Yoshikatsu hadn't been attacked and killed by the three three good people, how could these bad things come from and how could the situation have deteriorated to this point.

"That's it for now, no more words."

Yamauchi Yoshiharu waved his hand, signaling his brother not to say any more. Talking too much will only add to the sadness and will not help.

Let the dead rest in peace, and the living must fight for more living people.

…

"Chen San, go and tell Hei Liu and Master Majie immediately." After Xiao Pingtai returned home, she began to get ready for a moment.

Although the two younger ones, Nanosuke and Kamemaru, probably knew about the deaths of Ashikaga Yoshiteru and Yamauchi Yoshikatsu, the impact of this incident on them was not as exaggerated as the earth shattering.

Their expressions were one of surprise at the death of Ashikaga Yoshiteru. For the death of Yamauchi Yoshikatsu, he was angry. Obviously, like most people, they have no real respect for the general in distant Kyoto. They are more just the general dissatisfaction of the martial arts disciples with the general's murder in the chaos of the world.

However, the two children were still a little touched by Yamauchi Yoshikatsu's death. After all, they were in the Yamauchi family, and they also felt the sudden and turbulent atmosphere of the Yamauchi family.

As soon as they heard that Xiaopingtai wanted to wear armor, the two of them went into the house to move the box and cage very skillfully. They came to Xiaopingtai's house every day and quickly took out Xiaopingtai's Nanman trunks. However, the two of them were not yet proficient in wearing armor, so they were a little in a hurry.

Fortunately, Xiaoping is not very tall, so it is not a big problem for two children who are over 1.2 meters tall to wear armor for an adult who is 1.4 meters tall.

At the same time, they also packed Xiao Pingtai and brought some necessary hemostatic medicine, felt for spreading straw, fine cotton cloth for wounds, spare straw sandals and mats, etc.

The seven rules are the busiest. Xiao Pingtai's horse mark is too coquettish. The Thousand Golden Bamboo Leaves are very eye-catching, but every time they are taken out again, hundreds of gold leaves have to be tied on them. No matter how fast your hands and feet are, it will take several people to work together for several hours.

When Heiroku and Sakakibara Nagamasa arrived, one helped Heita temporarily allocate military rations for five hundred people, and the other helped Heita gather the standing ashigaru of his subordinates.

Since the 200 people under Koheita's command were Tiepao Ashigaru, several banners within the banners were temporarily assigned to Koheita. Replenish Xiaopingtai's melee troops so that the fire sticks will be useless at close range.

It's not that we can't mobilize farmers and soldiers, but the mobilization now will not arrive until at least noon tomorrow. Since we are rushing to help Iida, the sooner the better.

As long as the standing ashigaru blows the whistle, they can gather immediately. This is also the benefit of professional soldiers, they are all under the city. Just leave as soon as you say, no need to talk nonsense.

The soldiers naturally knew the news of Yamauchi Yoshikatsu's death, but the news of Yamauchi Yoshikatsu's stroke was not known to ordinary people except for generations of samurai and very close family members.

Everyone thought that Yamauchi Yoshiharu was alive and kicking, so there were no major commotions or changes in Standing Ashgaru.

Xiaopingtai didn't say anything about the pre-war speech, they were just serving as soldiers to feed themselves. They set off with more than a dozen loads of food and supplies in a mess, without the momentum of a desperate victory.

…

"Meigoro, how is the ashigaru's condition?" Koheta brought familiar flags with him.

"Most of them are a little panicked. Your Highness is dying, and Ashigaru's momentum is greatly affected." Meigoro shook his head. There were more than 300 people in his group. When they heard that Yamauchi Yoshikatsu died, there was still a commotion. After all, the boss who paid the salary was dead. The employees must be panicking.

Most of the lower-class soldiers in this era were blind. Firstly, they were limited by poor education, and secondly, they were unconsciously bound and influenced by the feudal system from an early age.

When the moment when the daimyo was about to die passed, everything seemed to be calm in the Yamauchi family. The samurai in the city served their duties as they should, and Yamauchi Yoshiharu's orders were communicated to the outside world as usual. The soldiers calmed down. Anyway, Yamauchi Yoshiharu was still alive, so he could just continue to carry the gun.

"It's good if the morale can be maintained." Xiao Pingtai's own soldiers were all selected from well-off men, not even single men. Those who choose to have a stable income have a sense of perseverance, and their military morale is guaranteed.

Each family was assigned a longhouse and distributed rice. The whole family, old and young, were all in the central city of Shanuchi Fuzhong. They had a reason to work hard for Xiao Pingtai.

As for Kanai Meigoro's subordinates, there are two who seem to be his cousins ​​or classmates. In short, Meigoro has not forgotten his buddies from his hometown even when he became rich. Rashanuchi came to do his ashigaru head, and the two of them seemed to have good skills.

As for the others, they are just average, not too bad, not much better. It is absolutely enough to arrange three rows of spears in front of Xiaoheita's iron cannon ashigaru.

This time I went to Shimosuwa, theoretically speaking, it was still the place where my late father Kodaira fought. For the Yamauchi family, it is not a place full of happy memories.

But as far as the terrain is concerned, it is actually conducive to Xiaopingtai's defense. Lake Suwa is not a dead lake. It originates from the Suwa mountains, converges into a lake, and then forms a river flowing downstream. His downstream is actually Tianlongchuan.

Due to the large water flow, it is impossible to walk through the water, which actually blocks large-scale military activities.

As for the area going down to Suwa, in addition to the Suwa Lake plain occupied by the Takeda family, going down is the continuous mountains of Mount Suwa.

The area sandwiched between Suwa-no-dake and the Tenryu River is the street where Suwa entered Ina, also known as Ina Street.

If a large group of people wants to enter Ina and into the mountains, they can only take this road.

The so-called battleground for military strategists is this kind of place.
