Chapter 737: The Shimazu Family
"What! The Hosokawa Army went south along the coast and attacked Satsuma! "Shimazu Iehisa received a notice, and Huo Ran stood up from the marching horse, he was commanding more than 10,000 troops to attack Dansheng Island Castle. Due to the persistence of Otomo Zonglin and the sharpness of the collapse of the country, it has been difficult to conquer for a long time.
"Yes! Their ships are endless! I can see it clearly, and I'm bombarding it all the way! The family's Nagahama town was bombed to ruins! Yamada Yushin said eloquently, he was a retainer of the Shimazu family, and after the fall of the Ito family, he became the lord of Hinata Nobeoka Castle. In the Battle of Ogawa, together with Shimazu Iehisa, he repelled the army of Otomo Sorin's army with only 3,000 troops and held Nobeoka Castle, contributing to the great victory of the Shimazu family.
"Not good! The lord is in trouble! You must return to the army as soon as possible! When Shimazu Iehisa heard the description, he expected that his family would be invincible, and when he was young, he was evaluated by his grandfather Shimazu Tadaya as "deeply skilled in military law and tactics", and he can be called a shining star.
Today, the head of the Shimazu family, Shimazu Yoshihisa, sits at home, assisted by his third brother, Shimazu Tokihisa. Since childhood, he was evaluated by his grandfather Shimazu Tadaya as "having the wisdom to thoroughly observe the interests and disadvantages", and in the eyes of later generations, he is also a brave and rare wise general in Satsuma. Suhisa mainly served as a military staff officer beside his brother Yoshihisa, and influenced the strategic direction of the Shimazu Army.
In order to complete the plan to unify Kyushu in a short period of time, the Shimazu family soldiers divided into two routes, and the 30,000 troops led by the second brother Shimazu Yoshihiro went straight to Higo Province and attacked the last Aso family; The 20,000-strong army of the fourth brother, Shimazu Iehisa, went straight to Bungo Province through Hyuga Province and wiped out the Otomo family.
There is a saying in the Warring States: Shimazu has no dark lord. The Warring States Shimazu clan, which is known for being a famous general, has never lacked outstanding talents, especially through the efforts of the five Shimazu Takahisa father and son, who have opened up the largest territory of the Shimazu family. The strategy of a long time, the strategy of righteousness for a long time, the resourcefulness of a long time, and the military war of a long time are all heroic for a while.
Shimazu Yoshihiro, on the other hand, has a strong personality, can calmly analyze and deal with shocks, and his personal personality charm is unmatched at home. It can be said that if he is not the second in the family, he is the most suitable to be the head of the family. In particular, it was rated as "like the Morichi heaven in the world".
Morichi is also known as the god of war, and has merits such as protection, invisibility, wealth, and victory. After the introduction of the Japanese from the Tang Dynasty, Morichi was known as the goddess of the sun and fire, and the samurai of the Japanese believed that Morichi could bring them martial luck and be invincible. Because of their frequent tantric practice, the ninjas of the Japanese also take the Morichi Heaven as their guardian deity. What's more, because the Morichi Heaven can be invisible, even the many gods of the Heavenly Realm cannot see her, so the ninjas who practice invisibility all use the Morichi Heavenly Mantra and the Mudra (Morichi Heavenly Invisible Seal) in Esoteric Buddhism.
But in fact, Shimazu Yoshihiro's Morichi is more inclined to protect himself. Because, his luck is simply so good! Belongs to the kind of master who can pick up money when he sleeps with a pillow and walks.
The Shimazu family's world-famous tactic, Fishing no Fushi, was inspired by a single battle. The Battle of Kisakihara in 1572 was the famous battle of Shimazu Yoshihiro, in which 350 people defeated the Ito family's 3,000 troops, and was compared to the Battle of Oda Nobunaga's barrel saga, and was known as the "barrel saga" of Kyushu.
However, the difference between the two is that Oda Nobunaga ended up raiding the 1,500-man main camp of Imagawa Yoshimoto with 450 men. And Shimazu Yoshihiro is fifty people, and he is attacking Ito's army of 3,000 head-on!
Using himself as bait, he lured the enemy to attack, and then, five ambushes came out in unison, and iron cannons fired indiscriminately. As a result, somehow, he killed Ito's general Ito Yuan with one shot, and the entire Ito army was shaken and collapsed suddenly, which is a small chance.
This is not over, seeing that the defeat is irreversible, the red-eyed Ito Yushin did not retreat but advanced, rushed to Yoshihiro's side with a horse, raised his gun and stabbed, at the critical moment, Yoshihiro's mount happened to fall, so that the other party stabbed the air with a shot, Yoshihiro took the opportunity to raise the gun and stabbed back, pierced Yushin's chest, and sent people to the head!
Now, Shimazu Yoshihiro, who is far away in Higo Country, has also received the news that the Hosokawa army is heading south, and naturally he will not allow the old nest to be lost, so he will do his best to turn back to Satsuma.
"Quick! Fast forward! "Ijiin Jiuxuan led 5,000 vanguards and hurried back. He is the fierce general of the Shimazu family and the pioneer officer of the Shimazu family.
"Cross the river! Fast! Don't grind! Shigemasa Shigemasa led his headquarters and began to cross the river.
This river is called Ototsu River, the river surface is not wide, the water level is not deep, only to the root of the thigh, is the only way to return to the army Satsuma.
"Prepare to cross the river!" In the center, Ijiin Kunobu also led his troops to the river, preparing to cross the river.
But... In their hurry to return home, they did not cautiously send scouts to explore the way, and did not find the malicious eyes in the low bushes on the shore, but only hurriedly walked into the ambush circle.
Rushing... Rushing... The Shimazu army waded through the water... The front army has already begun to go ashore, and the Chinese army has also been launched.
"Prepare to cross the river!" Nomura Tadatsu, who was in the back, began to form a team and prepare to cross the river.
"Shoot!" Suddenly, there was a coquettish cry from the other side, and it turned out to be a woman's voice.
Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! Half-crossed!
Poof! "Wow!" "Ahh Shimazu Ashigaru, who had just landed, was hit by an iron cannon before he could recover his strength, and he fell down one by one.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Shirahama Shigemasa pulled out the sword at his waist and warned loudly, he didn't expect there to be an enemy here.
"Shoot!" It's that woman's coquettishness again.
Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! The second salvo rang out, and it seemed that the ambushers had a large number of iron cannons.
"Ugh!" Shirahama Shigemasa's figure froze, and he looked down at his chest, where a blood hole was gushing out.
"But... Evil...", he plopped and fell to the ground.
"Wow! My lord! Adults have been shot! "The former army general was killed, and the Shimazu army immediately fell into confusion and was at a loss.
"Kill!" A military general came out of the bushes, and I saw that this person was petite, wearing a cyan lock bowl, covered with eggplant-colored feather weaving, wearing a rabbit-eared white helmet, and holding a pheasant knife in his hand, and he turned out to be a female general!
"Drink!" Yoshioka Lin opened his mouth, opened his silver teeth, raised his knife and fell, and slashed the enemy in front of him with a click. Then another knife slashed the throat of another enemy.
"Kill!" Behind her, there were many women in the crowd that poured up.
I saw that they were also holding pheasant knives one by one, and they were not merciless when they cut people!
"Calm down! All calm! Damn it! Cross the river! Cross the river! The people on the shore are just weak women! Ijiin Kunobu looked at the chaos on the shore and urged his subordinates to rush up for reinforcements. In his impression, as soon as the Satsuma warriors came out, it was not easy to take down this group of girls! I want to talk about "Mortals Through the Law of Survival" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
