Chapter 1146: The First Battle Determines the World (I)
The Miyoshi family took the initiative to attack, which was in the hands of Tsugawa Soji.
In fact, although the Imagawa family Kamiraku is not good news for the Tsugawa family, it has also intensified the outbreak time of the decisive battle between the Tsugawa family and the Miyoshi family to a certain extent.
For Miyoshi, they have a "home" advantage. Playing at home, it is naturally quite an advantage. As for the Tsugawa family, they must have wished they could start fighting as soon as possible, because tens of thousands of troops were stationed here, and the amount of food consumed every day was not a small amount.
And the logistics supply of the combined army was already very weak, and during this time, it was all out of the pockets of the Harima and Settsu countries, and of course the Tsugawa family paid for it. Although it can hold on for a while, it is obviously not good for the Tsugawa family to drag it on.
So after Miyoshi Changqing took the initiative to attack this time, Tsugawa Soji was not ready to stay.
To the west of Ibaraki Castle was the main battlefield of the battle.
In terms of the Miyoshi family, the leader is the most elite soldier in the Miyoshi family, Apo Zhong. Since Miyoshi Yoshiken was still in Kyoto, the Awa people were temporarily led by Miyoshi Chokei.
Of course, when the battle started, the actual commander was naturally someone else, that is, Ogasawara Narisuke, Miyoshi Chokei's son-in-law.
In addition, Miyoshi Changqing also let Miyoshi Masaysu and others under his command also join the battle. Kii's Nerai and Saga were also in charge of providing remote support to Ogasawara Narisuke and others on the flanks.
"Lord Shangshan, the lord has issued an order, although the troops in the front battle must block the attack of the Miyoshi family, but they should not be too ruthless, just contain the enemy as much as possible!" In front of the Tsukawa family, Morioka Tsunenari (Shioka Kazuha, a close attendant of Tsugawa Soji) brought the latest orders from Tsugawa Soji from the main camp.
Yoshiaki Kamiyama was stunned when he heard this, "Heigoro, what does the lord mean?" ”
"I don't know this below, it's just to convey the lord's order, since the order has arrived, then I will retire first!" After saying that, Morioka Tsuneki shook his head and went back to his life.
Yoshiaki Kamiyama, who had a question mark in his stomach, temporarily handed over the command of the troops to his retainer Satomi Masamitsu and others, and then rode his horse to the various regiments in the front line, and found that all the commanders in the front line had received this order.
"What to do? The forces under the command have repelled the enemy's attacks four times, and the preliminary estimate is to take one or two hundred people, and the enemy troops on the left flank have been repulsed, is this considered a violation of the Lord's order? On a hill in the front row, several legion commanders gathered around and discussed in a whisper.
Hearing the words of Harumasa Mitohe, Nobunaka Kunohe on the side said in a mournful manner, "Not only have you repelled the enemy, but the strength of the next squadron under your command has begun to pursue!" ”
“......”
"Wouldn't I be worse then??" Shangshan Yoshiaki panicked, and quickly turned around and said loudly to one of his bannermen, "What are you still doing in a daze, go and give an order, so that the strength of this family can be returned!" ”
MMP, just a quarter of an hour ago, Yoshiaki Ueyama had just ordered the four squadrons under his command to chase down the remnants of the enemy.
Just when Yoshiaki and the others were in great pain, in the main camp of the Miyoshi family not far away, Miyoshi Changqing's face suddenly darkened.
Because none of the expected results such as "overwhelming" and "inseparable" have appeared, none of the attacking troops in various parts of the Miyoshi family have achieved an advantage!
"My lord, there are only more than 6,000 people in the Apo people, and there is no Fengzhu front guard, and the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. The Tsugawa family had more troops than the main family, and the enemy army had nearly 10,000 troops in front of them, and the Tsugawa family's five-color preparation, known as the elite of the elite, had also joined the battlefield......." Matsunaga Shu explained on the side.
"But didn't the Zaga people and the Nelai people also participate in the war, isn't it because the advantage of cracking the musket can't suppress the Tsugawa family?"
"My lord, the musket was the first to be assembled by the Tsugawa family, and seventy percent of the muskets in the whole RB are from the hands of the Tsugawa family, and the number and advantage of the round muskets are not comparable to the Tsugawa family!" Matsunaga said self-deprecatingly.
Miyoshi Changqing suddenly didn't know what to say.
"Miyoshi Uemon Daisuke Hall asks for reinforcements!" At this moment, an envoy ran in from outside.
After learning from the mouth of the envoy that Miyoshi Masaysu was defeated by the Tsugawa family's Kamiyama Yoshiaki Army in one fell swoop, Miyoshi Changqing scolded his mother directly!
"Dan Zhengzhong, I will give you 5,000 troops, immediately rush to the front, and be sure to tear a hole in the front of the Jinchuan family!" After speaking, Miyoshi Changqing put his eyes on the Shihe Yicun on the side again, "Sanki Mamoru, haven't you always wanted to compete with Tsugawa Soji, you lead the Sanki people to attack immediately and attack the enemy's flank!" ”
"Hah!" Matsunaga Shu and Tokawa Ichiku replied at the same time.
After a few steps back and forth, Miyoshi Changqing stood still and spoke again, "What does Honganji say, are you willing to send troops to help your family?" ”
"Honganji not only rejected the family's request, but even rejected the family's proposal to restrict the food supply of the Tsugawa family!" Shinohara Nagafang said helplessly.
Without waiting for Miyoshi Chokei to continue speaking, Shinohara-nagabo continued, "The current head of Honganji Temple, Xianru, is the son of the former Seki Hakujo-den, and Tsugawa Soji is the son-in-law of Kujo-den, and Honganji and the Tsugawa family have always been friends!" The previous Kaga Ichizong rebellion also relied on the power of the Tsugawa family to quell the catastrophe, and the Honganji Temple was unwilling to offend the Tsugawa family! ”
It's okay not to mention this, but it's even more angry to mention this three-good Changqing.
Originally, Miaoru, the daughter of Kujo Minoru, should have been married by Shikawa Ichicun, so that the disguised equivalent of the Miyoshi family and Honganji became relatives, but now it's good, halfway was cut off by Tsugawa Soji, and wasted such a good opportunity to win over Honganji!
And the Shihe Yicun on the side was even more angry and trembling, although it had been several years, but Shihe Yicun still felt that his head was green......
Previously, Miyoshi Chokei's original intention was to pull Honganji into the water, and with Honganji's strength in the Kinai region, once Honganji participated in the battle, it would not be difficult to defeat the Tsugawa family.
As a result, Miyoshi Chokei specially sent Shinohara-nagabo as an envoy to the Ishiyama Imperial Workshop, but the result was not good. Moreover, Miyoshi Nagakei also knew that tens of thousands of troops of the Tsugawa family were stationed in Settsu, and food supply and logistics supply were a big problem. And the Tsugawa family had no other way but to buy these supplies, so Miyoshi Chokei hoped that even if Honganji did not send troops to the war, it would help him cut off the food supply of the Tsugawa family. It's a pity that this calculation also fell short.
"The group of bald donkeys in Honganji Temple is really getting more and more arrogant!" Miyoshi Changqing hated Honganji so much, his father Miyoshi Yuanchang was killed by Honganji, it can be described as a new hatred and old hatred, how can he not be angry!
"That's it, the difficulty is that without his Honganji, my Sanhao Changqing won't fight?"
"Bullet Zhengzhong, Zhan Qi Shou, everything is please!" Miyoshi Changqing looked at Matsunaga Xiu and said heavily.
