Chapter 204: Mutsu Ascending Dragon

Ashikaga Nobuden, who gathered 10,000 elites, was both excited and apprehensive in his heart, but how to deal with these 10,000 people is also a problem. Although Zhou Dingguo used tricks to play with only half a life left for these people, he would definitely be relieved afterwards, and there are still 20,000 main forces of the coalition army marching here, relying on 3,000 people, both to guard the prisoners and resist the 20,000 army, it feels unrealistic to think about it.

Zhou Dingguo has no pressure, after all, he is the same as Ashikaga Molong, he has a bad stomach. After the captives were gathered, it was customary to separate the samurai and the peasants, but this time it was of little significance, because it was unlikely that the peasants would have war horses, and this time in order to ensure the success of the raid, all cavalry was used, so Zhou Dingguo took out the people of the Date family alone, and there were more than 700 people, who were tied with their hands and feet and thrown aside, and the other 9,000 people were only tied with their thumbs and imprisoned according to the family. Then the scene that made Date Haruzong collapse appeared: Zhou Dingguo first took out the governor of a small family, then untied him, and gave him a katana, and asked him to make a multiple-choice question: should ten people from his own family be hacked to death, or should one person be hacked to death from the warriors of the Date family?

Nima! Do I still need to choose this kind of multiple-choice question? For the sake of a samurai of the leader of a loose alliance, hacking ten of his own clansmen to death? And with the posture of the Ashikaga family, the dragon crossing the river, the Date family will definitely be even weaker in the future, so what are you waiting for? The governor of this small family was about to come up and cut down Date Harumun with a brisk step, and he was so frightened that he shrank back again and again.

However, this little family governor was stopped by Zhou Dingguo, after all, Date Qingzong still has some use value, and he can't be killed for the time being. So this little family governor slashed at the first fierce general of the Ida family, Ghost Court Zuo Yuezhai, poor Ghost Court Zuo Yuezhai was rampant for a while, and was actually chopped over by a little wealthy family governor who he usually didn't bother to look at when he was tied into a zongzi. There is a leader, and the rest is easy to do, and the governors of each family have been invited to come out, and the samurai of the Date family are cut down one by one, which can be regarded as a vote, and these people can be said to have offended the Date family to death, and it is naturally impossible to continue to support the position of the leader of the Mutsu Alliance of the Date family in the future, so you can only hug the thigh of Ashikaga Molong.

After hacking to death all the samurai of the Date family, Zhou Dingguo knew that he now had 12,000 elites in his hands, and even if it was a field Mutsu Izuyu Alliance, it was not worth it at all. After all, there is no way out for these more than 9,000 elites, and in order to show their loyalty, it is estimated that they will be stronger than usual.

And the Mutsu Izuha coalition was stupid when they learned the news of the annihilation of Date Harumune's entire army, and Mogami Yoshimori couldn't suppress everyone, so he could only go to Rifu Castle again to move Date Uemune, who was under house arrest by Date Harumune, out to preside over the big event. I have to say that the old man Date Zhizong is still very prestigious, although he is a lot older, he doesn't want to fight with his son anymore, of course, it may be because if he fights again, the Date family will be over, so he takes the initiative to admit defeat. But Date Uemune's head was still very sober, and he immediately led his troops back to Sugime Castle, which was equivalent to giving up the entire Iwaki area, which immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the wealthy clans whose territory was still in Iwaki, especially Tamura Takaaki, who turned his face with Date Uemune on the spot and ran home by himself.

Just when the wealthy families felt sorry for Tamura Takaaki, they got the news that Tamura Takaaki had taken refuge in the Ashikaga family. In fact, Tamura Takaaki had already taken refuge in Ashikaga Molong before the war, and the matter of the elite cavalry raid led by Date Harumune was revealed by him to the Ashikaga ninjas, and then passed on by the Ashikaga ninjas in the form of flying eagles. No matter how fast the cavalry runs, it will still be limited by the terrain after all, and it is impossible to outrun the eagles flying in the sky. Takashi Tamura himself is talented, he is not willing to be a small wealthy family in Iwaki for the rest of his life, and he can help Mutsu out of the feather alliance to give advice, what can he get? Land? Or wealth? These are not things that the small Tamura family can interfere with, but it is different to take refuge in Ashikaga Molong, and directly get the core honor of the Ashikaga family: Manshibu Shoka! It means that he can participate in the decision-making of the Ashikaga family, which is a treatment that Takamura Takaxian, who has been trapped in the small place of Miharu City all his life, could not even imagine. In this case, there is no psychological burden on the Mutsu and Feather Alliance, especially since Zhou Dingguo captured 10,000 elite soldiers with almost zero casualties among 3,000 people, so what are you waiting for? Hurry up and pack your bags and go to run.

With Tamura Takashi, the head snake, Zhou Dingguo can be said to know almost everything about the situation of Mutsu Izuha, after easily sweeping the land of Iwaki, Zhou Dingguo's military strength expanded from 12,000 to nearly 30,000, after all, he will not let any adult men in the village in the rear stay, either follow him, or die with the whole family, so what is there to choose? These young men can't be expected to go to the battlefield, but with them, whether it is the main force of the Ashikaga army that is attacking the city of Aizu, or the 12,000 soldiers of Zhou Dingguo, there is no need to think about logistics.

Date Uemune hoped to negotiate with Zhou Dingguo, but although he received a friendly response, even Date Harumune was released back by Zhou Dingguo, which made the Mutsu Izuba coalition feel reassured. As for the tragic loss of the Date family, I can only express regret. But that night, Zhou Dingguo's personal commander 7,000 elite night attack on the Mutsu out of the feather coalition army, because Sugime City is not big enough, so the coalition army is scattered around Sugime City, and the coalition army that has received goodwill from Zhou Dingguo is also somewhat lax, never expected that Zhou Dingguo actually gave them a ruthless one directly at night, and was immediately completely defeated. Date Zhizong and others also wanted to close the city gate and defend Sugime Castle, but they were directly expelled by Zhou Dingguo and rushed open the city gate, and they had no choice but to lead a small number of guards to escape. Zhou Dingguo's offensive did not stop, and after capturing Marumori City and Huli City in succession, he stopped his troops. At this point, the main force of the Mutsu Izuha coalition was wiped out, and no one could stop Zhou Dingguo from taking Aizu, Iwaki, and Yonezawa.

Just when Zhou Dingguo was attacking the city in Mutsu, the Roxagonal family in the land of was fighting against the heroes with their own strength. At the beginning, stimulated by the Battle of Nagashima, the governor of the Rokkaku family, Rokkaku Yoshiken, was still a little looking forward to the field battle, and decided to lead the army to defeat the Oda Asai Asakura coalition army first, and he set up a formation in Aichi River, according to the defense system set up by Ashikaga Ink Dragon outside Nagashima Castle, waiting to give Oda Asai Asakura coalition army a big move. At first, the two sides were also in a sea of blood, but Shibata Katsuie led 5,000 elites from Lake Biwa to the back of the Rokkaku army, launched a strong attack, and immediately put the Rokkaku army out of control. Rokkaku Yoshiken is not Ashikaga Molong after all, he commands his own army is okay, but the army of the Northern Ise Hao clan was the first to be crushed by Shibata Katsuie, triggering a chain reaction, and the Kitabatake family army was also defeated by Shibata Katsuie, defeating 20,000 troops with 5,000 elites, Shibata Katsuya can be among the world's first-class generals with this battle. However, Ono Shinzaemon led the standing army of the Imagawa family to block the follow-up attack of Shibata Katsuie, and not only that, but the standing army of the Imagawa family, which can be said to be armed to the teeth, also drove Shibata Katsuie to the lake. However, the collapse of the 20,000-strong army of Kitaise and Kitabatake made it impossible for the Rokkaku Army, which alone withstood the onslaught of the Oda Asai Asakura coalition army, but fortunately, it was blocked by field fortifications, and it was not completely defeated. Under the struggle of Ono Shinzaemon, most of the Rokkaku Army successfully evacuated the battlefield.
