Chapter 990: The Battle of the Righteous Name of "Chengguan"!
Half an hour later, the Tsugawa family's forces still hadn't all landed.
In addition to the Kurokawa Haruki, only Mizutani Hisaji's Aobei had two squadrons of Ashigaru who successfully landed from the side of the Kurokawa Haruhi clan, and the rest of the troops were still circling in the river. But even so, it was only after the two squadrons of Qingbei participated in the battle that the situation on the battlefield changed.
The Oni Ting Liangzhi team, which was still inseparable from the Kurokawa Haru clan before, was defeated and retreated after Qingbei participated in the battle. If it weren't for the Nakano Sotoki team and the Watari Genzong team sharing part of the pressure for Oni Tei Ryonao, I'm afraid that the people of the Tsugawa family would have gone ashore in a big way at this time.
"It's not a way to go on like this!"
On the other side of the river, Wise Mitsuhide stared at the battle situation on the other side, and his heart was very anxious. The Yoshikawa Hiroke team beside him had not yet had time to go down the river, mainly because there were not enough rafts, and they had to wait until the friendly troops in front of them came ashore before they could follow.
"Shibei, how about it, are you interested in following me to do a big vote!" Yoshikawa Hiroya's loud voice suddenly sounded in Akechi Mitsuhide's ears, pulling Akechi Mitsuhide's thoughts back.
"Yoshikawa-sama, I wonder what your plans are?" Akechi Mitsuhide asked curiously.
"Hey, hey!" Yoshikawa Hiroya smiled, and then said, "The Date family on the other side has already split up a part of the forces to support the battle in the lower section of the river, and the defense of the enemy's flank is slightly weak. ”
"I thought I could find a different way to land from the distance where Kurokawa-sama and Mizutani-sama boarded the ship! In this way, it may or may not work wonders! Yoshikawa Hiroya said excitedly.
After listening to Yoshikawa Hiroya's words, Akechi Mitsuhide was also a little moved, "However, if you act without the lord's order, I'm afraid it will violate the military order, right?" ”
"So this matter needs to be explained to the lord by the ten guards." Hiroya Yoshikawa continued.
Akechi Mitsuhide thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Since that's the case, let's give it a try." ”
"Kojiro, follow me!" After saying that, Akechi Mitsuhide greeted Kojiro Asakura beside him, and then turned around and walked towards the Tsugawa family main camp behind him.
Why did Akechi Mitsuhide agree to Hiroke Yoshikawa's proposal? The main thing is to be forced.
Wise Mitsuhide is from the chengguan, and the reputation of the chengguan squadron in the Jinchuan family over the years has always been bad, as for the reasons for each middle, the readers are very clear in their hearts......
The chengguan squadron has always been synonymous with "garbage" in combat effectiveness, and it has always been unpopular at home. Not only the other standing guards, but even the ordinary peasants and soldiers sneered at the chengguan squadron.
Of course, Akechi Mitsuhide also knows. The reason why other people discriminate against the chengguan squadron in this way is mainly because the "martial arts" are highly valued within the Tsugawa family, and the chengguan squadron has been established for several years, but it has not participated in any battle.
Over time, there will naturally be all kinds of comments, and Akechi Mitsuhide has long been used to it.
Akechi Mitsuhide's current identity is the head of the Tsugawa family city management corps, and he is responsible for commanding the city management squadrons stationed in the 12 cities within the Tsugawa family. The Chengguan Squadron is not available in every castle, and is only available in large castles or castles with castle towns.
In addition to Ueno Castle, the castles that are eligible in the Tsugawa clan are Minato Castle, Hinoyama Castle, Komatsuyama Castle, Niga Hojo, Tsugawa Castle, Yuzawa Castle, Ishikawa Castle, Takasuidaji Castle, Yamagata Castle, Sado Castle (newly built), and Wakimoto Castle.
Don't look at the identity pursued by the wise Guangxiu Chengguan Corps is very ordinary, but it commands 12 chengguan squadrons, with a total number of 600 people, which is no less than five colors.
Participating in the war this time, Akechi Mitsuhide actually came with the idea of "justifying" the Chengguan squadron. So, when Yoshikawa Hiroke proposed to get a vote together, Akechi Mitsuhide only thought about it a little and agreed.
"My lord, the offensive of crossing the river has reached a stalemate, so I ask to cross the river from the flank with Lord Yoshikawa, and quietly cross the Natori River while the enemy's defense is weak, and I also ask the lord to agree!" In Koizumi Castle, Akechi Mitsuhide directly found Tsugawa Soji to explain his intentions.
And after listening to Akechi Mitsuhide's words, Tsugawa Soji smiled and put down a letter in his hand, "Shibei, the family just received information from Hachibai Daowei. Half an hour ago, Hachibai Michiwei and others had already defeated the remaining guards in the upper reaches of the Natori River, and Kenmune and others had successfully crossed the Natori River. ”
"At present, Babai Daowei and the others are moving towards the main battlefield, so you can cross the river with the Yoshikawa Hiroshi family, and then join up with Babai Daowei and the others! Otherwise, the more than 1,000 people who rely on Babai Dao alone will have a limited effect after all! ”
Seeing that Soji Tsugawa agreed to his proposal, Akechi Mitsuhide immediately showed an excited expression.
"I am determined to live up to the trust of the lord!"
Akechi Mitsuhide walked out of the main camp with a satisfied face, and then rode on a war horse and ran directly towards the shore of the Natori River. After finding the Yoshikawa Hiroshi family, Akechi Mitsuhide hurriedly explained what had just happened to the Yoshikawa Hiroshi family, and the two hit it off, and soon mobilized their troops to move towards the upper reaches of the Natori River.
.......
The lower reaches of the Natori River, the mouth of the sea.
Several fishing boats are staying here to fish and hunt, and for these farmers living by the sea, the only pleasure left besides farming is probably going out to sea to fish. Not only can you make money, but you can also improve your life, so why not?
But today, the nearby fishermen no longer had the heart to care about the nets in their hands, and their eyes were attracted by the hundreds of large boats that suddenly appeared in the distance.
These boats are no stranger to fishermen who have lived in this area for a long time, and there is no semicolon except for the Dehatsugawa family who hang the bellflower pattern on this sea. Since the Tsugawa family opened the route from Ou to Owari, there have been many boats coming and going between the two places in recent years, so fishermen from these shores can often see the Tsugawa family's boats.
But it's the first time I've seen so many like today!
After the first warship of the fleet docked, more than 100 ships of various types were parked on this coast one after another. After Takahashi Xingjia got off the warship, his mind went blank, "Gross! ”
Takahashi Koke gets seasick.
said, the warrior who broke the arm and died in the battle of Takekawa was seasick, and he was still very dizzy. Osaki Yoshinao and Kasai Haruyin were also pale, although they were not as dizzy as Takahashi Xing's family, but they were not very comfortable.
Among the retainers of the Ichigan Tsugawa family, the only ones who did not get seasick were Yoshino Yoshino and Yukihide Hazu.
Yoshino Yoshino has been engaged in maritime trade for a long time, so he is naturally accustomed to going to sea. And Yukihide Hazu was born in Isekoku, and he was able to walk around Ise Bay when he had nothing to do, so he was also used to taking a boat.
And half of the troops who followed Takahashi Xingjia and others to the sea were basically seasick, and for a while, there was a group of ashigaru who kept vomiting on the entire coast. If a group of Date cavalry appeared at this time, I am afraid that it would only take one charge to defeat this part of the Tsugawa family's forces.
