Chapter 169: North to Fuzhong City (II)
Fushiwa Mingjiro saw that Suzuki Heavy Industries also spoke out against it, so he glanced at Suzuki Heavy Industries, and saw that Suzuki Heavy Industries bowed his head and was silent, so he said to the burning sky: "Lord, after going north to Fuzhong City, when the city is caged, they still need to cut down trees and make siege equipment, if they are let go back at this time, when they attack Fuzhong City, I am afraid that there will be a shortage of manpower, and it will take a lot of time to recruit these peasants and soldiers at that time!" ”
Burning Sky listened to Fushiwa Akijiro's words, and said to Suzuki Heavy Industries: "Gorou Guard, can you tell me too?" After listening to the words of the Burning Sky, Suzuki Heavy Industries immediately said to the Burning Sky: "My lord, I agree with Lord Fuyu, and when the city is sieged, these peasant soldiers are indispensable to consume the arrows and ammunition of the Asakura army!" ”
After listening to the words of Akijiro Fushiwa and Suzuki Heavy Industries, Sakaku glanced back at the people present, and saw that the eyes of Nanjo Terukei and Toda Yojiro were a little evasive, so he smiled and asked Nanjo Terukei, "Nanjo-sama, what do you think?" ”
Nanjo Terukatsu heard that he was named by the Burning Sky, so he raised his head and said to the Burning Sky: "I think what these two said is very reasonable, and I think that my opinion is the same as theirs. After hearing this, Toda and Jiro looked at Toda and Jiro, and when Toda and Jiro saw this, they immediately said to Kankong: "I don't think the peasant soldiers can be disbanded now, as these two said, after that, the peasants will need to take on tasks such as logging and building machinery in the north Fuzhongcheng, if they are disbanded now, I am afraid it will be inconvenient to attack the city later!" ”
After listening to the words of the two of them, Burning Sky asked the others, "Does anyone agree to disband these peasants and soldiers?" ”
Kamo Kenhide, who was not familiar with the situation in Hokuriku, naturally did not say a word, while Tomita Nagashige, who was extremely familiar with the situation in Hokuriku, stopped talking, and finally shook his head at the burning sky and said that he had no opinion.
Seeing that everyone disagreed, he said to everyone: "This matter will not be discussed for the time being, and when Shibata-sama comes, it will be decided by Shibata-sama, and you will discuss here today, and you will also go to rectify the military situation and prepare to go north; Lord Toda, you should send more people to find out the situation in Fuchu Castle, and if there is any situation, report it to me quickly! ”
After everyone agreed, they quickly left Momoyama City and walked towards their respective camps. Standing on the walls of Momoyama Castle, he looked at the few people who were far away, and said to Akijiro Fushiwa and Suzuki Heavy Industries, who were standing behind him, "Do you know why I want to disband these peasant soldiers? ”
This time, Suzuki Heavy Industries did not hesitate any longer, and said directly to the burning sky: "The lord is nothing more than worried about the farming of Tsuruga County!" ”
After listening to Suzuki's words, Burning Sky looked at Suzuki Heavy Industries and asked, "Then why are you still opposed to me disbanding them?" ”
At this time, Fushiwa Mingjiro took over the conversation and said to the burning sky: "Lord, although your worries are reasonable, but is this matter managed by the lord?" Tsuruga County is not the domain of the lord, so why bother with so much? Didn't the lord see the expressions of Minamijo Terukei and Yojiro Toda? If the lord really disbanded these peasant soldiers, he was afraid that Nanjo Terukei would be half scared to death, and those peasant soldiers were gone, who would be the one who would consume the arrows and ammunition of the defenders of Fuchu Castle? Wait, you're not testing them, are you? ”
After listening to Fushiwa Akijiro's words, Burning Sky shook his head at the two and said, "This matter is indeed something I owe to consider, so let's wait for Shibata-sama to come and discuss it!" ”
The next day, as soon as the Burning Sky got the news about Fuchu Castle, Shibata Katsuie had already led an army of nearly 10,000 to Momoyama Castle. After the arrival of Shibata Katsuie, Burning Sky immediately arranged Shibata Katsuya into Momoyama Castle and summoned all the powerful generals under his command to come and meet Shibata Katsuie.
After seeing the Burning Void, Shibata Katsuya immediately went to the house prepared by the Burning Sky with Niwa Nagahide. As soon as Shibata Katsuya entered the house, he said to the burning air: "Mingshamen, thanks to you for handling the affairs of Sheng Zheng properly, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”
After listening to Shibata Katsuya's words, Burning Sky immediately bowed his head and said: "Lord Shibata, as long as this matter is not known to the wealthy clans of South Vietnam, this is a small matter, and the capture of Echizen is a big matter. ”
After hearing this, Shibata Katsuya said with a smile: "Yes, the capture of Echizen is a big deal, what plan do you have to capture Echizen in Mingshamen?" ”
After listening to Shibata Katsuie's words, Burning Sky glanced at Niwa Nagahide, who was silent on the side, and asked in a low voice to Niwa Nagahide, "Niwa-sama, does Niwa-sama have a clever plan to break the enemy?" Niwa Nagahide pointed to the map spread on the ground with his right hand and said, "I think that the cities of the former North Vietnam are interconnected, and the capture of one city after another will be completed, and only by besieging one city and leading the enemy to gather forces to fight a decisive battle with us, and at the same time sending people to sleep with some of the enemy's generals, can we end the campaign in a short time." ”
After listening to Niwa Nagahide's words, Shibata Katsuya pointed to Fuchu Castle and Ichijo Valley Castle on the map and said: "Fuchu Castle is the former gateway of Hokkotsu, and it is also the gateway to Ichijo Valley Castle. ”
At this time, Kankong said to Shibata Katsuya and Niwa Nagahide: "After thinking that the adults can besiege the castle in the palace, they will ambush the enemy troops who come to support the mansion from all walks of life, and force Asakura Yoshikage to gather the forces of the former army of North Vietnam to fight a decisive battle with the adults, so as to break the military momentum of the Asakura army in one fell swoop and force the former cities of North Vietnam to surrender!" ”
After listening to the addition of the burning sky, Shibata Katsuya and Niwa Nagahide thought for a few breaths, and then said to the burning sky: "Okay, the plan is set first, Ming Shamen, you worked hard all the way to capture South Vietnam, and before the conquest of North Vietnam, I ordered you to lead a thousand troops to defend the main position, what do you think?" ”
Burning Sky heard Shibata Katsuie's words, so he lowered his head and said to Shibata Katsuie: "I am determined to guard this formation impenetrable!" ”
Then he said to Shibata Katsuie: "Lord Shibata, what should we do with the more than 3,000 peasant soldiers temporarily recruited by Tsuruga County now, should we disband them, or continue to let them follow the army?" ”
Shibata Katsuya listened to the words of the burning air, pondered for a few breaths, and then said: "Let them continue to follow the army, and then capture Fuzhong Castle, there are still a lot of chores that need them, by the way, the former Boyoshi Ji also came with me, let him manage these peasant soldiers and people!" ”
On the same day, Shibata Katsuya led more than 10,000 troops to Fuzhong City, and the wealthy clans along the way presented a lot of belonging. Burning Sky and his subordinates Fushiba Akijiro and others followed around Shibata Katsuya, and the Kaima Yoshiya, who was originally mobilized by the battle before South Vietnam, also led his clan to follow behind Burning Sky a little listlessly at this time.
Before the Shibata Katsuie army arrived at Fuchu Castle, preparations were already made in the direction of Fuchu Castle, and the walls of Sannomaru were full of samurai and ashigaru armed with iron cannons and bows and arrows, and everyone looked in the direction of the front of South Vietnam, very nervously waiting for the arrival of the Oda army.
Smoke and dust gradually rose from the south side of Fuchu Castle, and then a long line of Oda troops appeared in front of the defenders of Fuchu Castle. The Oda army led by him took a stand on the Fuchu Castle Wall, and slowly the Oda army behind him began to spread out in front of Fuchu Castle. The defenders of Fuzhong City looked at the strength of about 10,000 troops under the city, and the iron cannons and bows and arrows in their hands began to tremble.
