Honganji Temple has three major bases in Vietnam, and it has always been the initiator of successive dynasties. These three bases are Zuisenji, Shengxingji, and Tsuchiyama Gobo. These places are all located in the southwest of Vietnam and the border with Kaga Province. However, this time, although the crowd has been mobilized first, in the eyes of the dragon girl, it will instantly become a local chicken and a dog, and only one person will not be driven - Takeda Harunobu.

Later, until the time of Oda Nobunaga, the practice of the Ichitsune sect at that time was to kill the entire family, the entire village, the entire temple, and even the entire castle town! It can be said that the blood left behind by the killing at that time had already drowned the feet and necks.

But it's really not to underestimate these people who have always been a crowd, the number of people they can gather at the gate of the temple in a few days will reach thousands, although the combat effectiveness is insufficient, but it really starts a battle, and a large area of black and oppressive rushing over is really a bit of a 'visual effect'. If the Ashigaru of the Nagao Army, who were untrained and had not experienced a major battle, I am afraid that they would not be able to bear the psychological pressure and flee before the sect believers rushed in. If that's the case, it's really a rout on all fronts. Just like the Yellow Turban Army uprising at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, at first it also made all the states and counties cry and cry for their mothers, but when the real elite army of the imperial court came, it would be crushed in an instant in a head-on confrontation.

This time, the abbot of Katsukoji Temple, Honganji Genri, personally arrived at Uozu Castle on February 10, accompanied by ten monks and soldiers. Naturally, he was invited to enter Uozu City, and Chaoding and the Dragon Maiden had to listen to what he had to say.

When Honganji Genri entered the Ohiroma of Honmaru in Uozu Castle, he saw the new Echichu guardian dragon maiden sitting on the main seat, and Asada, who was the guardian of Musashi, was sitting first on the right. The retainers of the Nagao family sat on the left side, the first was Nagao Keishin, and the rest of the retainers sat in order of status.

"The poor monk is the abbot of Katsukoji Temple, Honganji Genri, and this time he came to get a request from the Takeda family and the Jimbo family to let the Nagao family and the Uesugi family retire." The old man came up and said that he had withdrawn from the army, and the Kakizaki Jingjia had already drawn his saber and pointed it at him.

"Izumi Mamoru, you sit down first." A relative of the dragon girl hasn't come this time, so she is more patient.

"My grandfather, Nagao Nokei, fought with you in this land of Yuezhong, and died in a battle with you!" The dragon girl directly settled the old account with him first.

"That's what he can't do." Honganji Genri thought that no one would dare to kill him in Yuezhong, so he was arrogant in this 20,000-strong Uozu Castle.

"What?!" This time it's not Kakizaki Kei's house, but it's Nagao Keishin's turn, and Nagao Keishin came up to kick Honganji Genri to the side.

"I'm sorry, this time it's the imperial court and the shogunate that issued an order for our two families to crusade against the Jimbo family and other unrighteous people, if your temple and the people want to help the Jimbo family, then don't blame the Ben family and the Nagao family for raising a butcher's knife against you, and then all the temples in Echichu will be burned, then it won't matter to us." After Asadaki finished speaking, he took the 'Imperial Text' issued by Tsunashi and Ashikaga Yoshiki and opened it and showed it to him.

"Don't forget the tiger and wolf divisions of the Nagao family and the Uesugi family, the two families have more than 20,000 troops, and you have always been one to beat everyone, and no matter how many people you have, they will all be defeated and killed." At this time, Kakizaki Keijia took the opportunity to threaten the Genri of Honganji.

"That means it has nothing to do with the temple, the poor monk knows." Honganji Xuanli hurriedly got up, he knew that when Nagao Weijing entered Yuechu, he had killed a lot of people. Thinking of this, he had no choice but to go back and disband the people he had always been disbanded.

"Then why haven't we sent troops yet?" The dragon girl was a little impatient to wipe out the Jimbo family from Echichung.

"Wait, the Divine Protector will definitely unite their wealthy clan and allies. It has always been the same that the crowd will naturally come. Chao Ding looked at the Honganji Temple and walked away before saying.

"Report! Echigo Urgent! An envoy who had arrived from Echigo quickly showed the letter to the dragon maiden.

"Good news! My sister gave birth! When the dragon girl saw it, she happily handed the letter to Chaoding.

"Named Katsuko Uesugi? It's a little disappointing, but it's a kid who likes it. "Chaoding doesn't think that he will be angry when he gives birth to his eldest daughter, and as for his son-in-law in the future, he must take good care of it.

"Congratulations to the repairer." All the Nagao family and Uesugi family retainers present bowed down to congratulate the court.

"It's good news, the next thing is to wait for the warriors of Yuezhong to take the initiative to come over to us, and we can ensure that their skills are safe before we send troops." Asada wants to learn from the monkey's practice, after all, a bunch of people still follow Honganji, so there are excuses. The Dragon Maiden is now the guardian of Yuezhong and the guardian of Echigo (someone also serves as the guardian of the Seven Kingdoms), and it is natural to crusade against the ministers who are not subservient! And as long as the dragon girl sends troops, it will be free to cut Yuezhong.

After waiting for five days in the coalition army, and after there were no follow-up defectors, the dragon girl sent her troops. The Ashigaru and samurai flags of the Nagao family's military strength are some of the Bizi flags, and some of them are the Kuyoba flags. The Uesugi Army, on the other hand, is all black bamboo and finch flags on a white background.

Honganji Genri did not do what he said in Uozu Castle, but instantly lined up the 3,000 troops who had always united the 5,000 troops of the Jimbo chief in the Kawaikawa. On the other hand, the 20,000 troops of the Nagao and Uesugi coalition forces calmly drove to the castle of Shengkata Mountain to the east of the river.

In fact, it is only natural that not many people defect. The Shenbao family has been the guardian of Yuezhong for nearly a hundred years, and many wealthy families are accustomed to listening to the orders of the Shenbao family. And several wealthy families who surrendered to the Nagao family at the beginning also surrendered under the attack of Nagao Weijing. At the same time, Shimoma Yorisho also followed the decree of Honganji Temple, and brought 200 monks and soldiers of Nagi and Kaga to aid 15,000 people in Vietnam. If we wait until the lower part of the army arrives in Echichu, then such a crowd tactic will be based on the 23,000 combined forces of the Jimbo family and the same group against the 20,000 combined forces of Uesugi and Nagao.

And the Uesugi and Nagao coalition forces still stayed in the city to hold military discussions, ignoring the constant shouting for battle.

"If you don't defeat the fifteen thousand army of Jian Laizhao, you will merge with them!" Kakizaki Keike is very anxious now, he is also the first time to participate in the war against Vietnam, and he has heard of the terrible things that have always been in the crowd.

"Although there are many people, they are vulnerable." Chaoding was very calm and played with a folding fan, "Let the person who should live let him live, and the person who should be killed will kill him, this is Sengoku (changed the famous words of Hojo Sakumo). ”

"What did the repairman say?" Nagao Jingxin instantly looked at Chaoding with bright eyes.

"You think, if everyone in the army had a full set of armor and weapons, then the whole of Japan would be theirs." Chao Ding took a sip of the sake poured in front of the dragon girl, not noticing that the dragon girl's gaze was gathering on him.

"Indeed, the weapons that have always been used to scare the people are basically kitchen knives, hoes, etc., from the people's homes, and those who have weapons are basically monks and soldiers. But the number of monk soldiers was small, and there was no decent armor. "Usami Dingman is talking at this time, otherwise he would really think of it as a mute.

"Not bad! As long as our army is spearheaded by cavalry from the front, and then a large number of ashigaru and samurai follow, and we just need to remember one thing - only dead Ichijo sect believers are good believers! If you don't obey, then kill! Chao Dingyi slapped the table and said. This sentence gave the retainers of the Nagao family and the Uesugi family here very much confidence.

"Good! That's what the repair doctor said! Naoe Jinggang and other retainers who were at a loss instantly burst with self-confidence.

"Your Majesty has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not?" Shigenaga Honjo sat at the back of the table as a retainer of the Uesugi family.

"Say, there are no outsiders here!" The dragon girl wants to hear about the 'high opinion' of Honjo Shigencho, who became a retainer of the Uesugi family.

"The generals of Yuezhong are nothing more than afraid of the revenge of Yizong, so they dare not come to Yujin City. His Majesty wants to lead a detachment of divisions from Uozu Castle and attack Ape Peck Castle after passing through Matsukura Castle and Gongzhuang Castle! "The plan of Honjo Fanchang is exactly the same as Wei Yan's idea of sneaking up on Chang'an. But what is Vietnam-Central Place? The forces of the Sect, the Divine Protection, and the people of various countries are intertwined!

"I'm not Zhuge Liang, but I'm not Liu Chan either. I agree with your plan, so it's better for the Long Tail Army not to move. Your forces are under your full command, and I will not intervene. Just remember to hold back as many enemy forces as possible or attack enemy supply lines, etc. Your mission is not to fight the enemy to the death, but to sneak attack. Chao Ding thinks it's okay to give it a try, but he's not going to put too much money on it.

"Yes!" Honjo saw that there was a play, and he had already calculated it before coming to Uozu Castle, and it seemed that he had calculated the right time.

"The place of the decisive battle is still in Huachuan, we will wait for the arrival of the army of Shimoma Yorizhao, and then annihilate the vast majority of the forces of the Tsuyoshi Sect in Yuezhong in one fell swoop!" The dragon girl is too lazy to fight one by one, and if she wants to fight, she has to fight like Takeda Harunobu, and then fight after all the army is assembled!

"Yes." After seeing that there was no objection, the matter was settled. Honjo Shiganaga also went to Matsukura Castle with 100 guns from the headquarters.

"Repair doctor, why do you divide the troops? It has always been powerful! "Yamamoto Temple Dingchang somewhat disagreed with Asada's approach, and only questioned Asadachi after seeing Honjo Shiganaga leave.

"Remember, when an army is fighting, it is often necessary to allocate a part of its forces to form a detachment to accomplish a certain purpose and task. This detachment may have an important bearing on the success or failure of the entire campaign, and how to determine its strength and the appropriate timing of its use has become a great and delicate responsibility of the battlefield commander. If a strong detachment is sent out at the right time, it will have a great effect on the whole situation! On the other hand, if the dispatch is inappropriate, it will inevitably give rise to a serious danger. Frederick the Great once said: The most important thing in order to be a general is to know how to make the enemy too dispersed forces, so that the goal of each defeat can be achieved. After pouring a glass of wine from Kawada Naga, he said, "Scattering the entire army into many detachments, if the division is too severe, the result is often unfavorable, so there are many people who are even completely opposed to the method of sending detachments (such as Zhuge Liang)." There is no doubt that pooling forces together is the safest policy, but sometimes this approach does not necessarily lead to a complete or substantial victory. When it is necessary to send detachments, the most important thing is to send as few as possible. ”

"The military strategy of the repair doctor is indeed unmatched, but the foreign ministers and others still don't understand." Usami Jomitsu has always been known as the originator of Echigo's military strategy, but he still has some doubts about the advanced tactics of later Europe.

"I've used the tactics of sending detachments to fight before, but during the Aizu Rebellion, it was probably immature, so the number of people sent was a bit 'too much', and then the knights of my family lost more than half! I'm not going to be too risky this time. In addition, sending a squad deep into the combat area behind enemy lines is also a favorable way for the detachment to operate. Even if the entire army of the squad is destroyed, it is not a major loss for the entire battle situation and the army. If used correctly, it can inflict huge losses on the enemy. As soon as Asada's words were spoken, Nambada Hiroyoshi, who was sitting on the edge of Asada, bowed his head in shame, and he had an unshirkable responsibility for the battle in which he lost more than half of his life.

"The military strategy of the repair doctor is indeed superb, and people from the countryside such as me really can't understand it." Kakizaki Keijia just listened, but they didn't understand. All they know is how it feels like it's powerful. Among them, the retainers of the Nagao family only knew that Namba Tian Hiroyoshi broke through thousands of troops with 400 cavalry and killed the enemy general, but they didn't think it was a failure, but a success!

To say that the speed of the march of Shimoma Lai Zhao is not slow, with the guidance and help of the same gate in Vietnam, this 15,000-strong army and the rest of the temples in Vietnam have always been in the same group. This time, the main team on the Kaga side was still led by Shimoma Yorisho, but the rest of the Kaiwa army was led by Shimoma Nakataka. At this time, all the people in Viethorn had arrived, and they set off with the aim of defeating the Echigo army and then entering Echigo country. During this period of time, the DPRK wanted to get out the plan of the battle of the Great Army, and it was also necessary to settle Vietnam and China in a war!

On the first of March, the 15,200 troops of the Shimoma Yorishobu, the 65,000 troops of the Shimoma Nakataka and the Honganji Genshu Division, and the Jimbo Naganji and the Honganji Genri Department successfully converged, reaching 88,200 people! That's more than four times the size of the coalition forces.

Throughout the ages, local battles that can be fought on the front line of hundreds of thousands of people have very strict requirements for the deployment of troops. Of course, this is for the countries of Europe. As for the island nation, people with such tactical thinking have not yet been born, not now, and even less in the future. The early stage of Japan's Warring States War was as unorganized and undisciplined as a group fight. In the middle period, the large-scale use of iron cannons was followed by the orderly charge of the samurai on horseback after the iron cannon ashigaru fired. In the later war of aggression against China, their tactical thinking and tactical theory were only a little better than those of the Chinese army, and after being beaten by Lao Maozi, they knew that they had to practice bayonet, and finally they had no chance to practice after being suppressed by the US imperialist firepower network.

If you want to say that this place is really a bit like Waterloo, at least the translation of the first word in both places is the same. During the Battle of Waterloo, the two armies invested more than 140,000 soldiers, the battle situation was repeated several times, the fighting was extremely fierce, the fields were bloody, and the casualties on both sides were relatively large, with 25,000 French troops and 22,000 allied troops dying in the foreign land of Waterloo. The two sides have invested more than 100,000 troops in Huachuan, and they have not yet started fighting.

As for this big battle, the tactics were mainly cavalry. Ashigaru's task was to follow the cavalry, while the samurai on horseback (referring to the Nagao family) did not have to dismount to fight. If they don't have experience, they can charge with the Uesugi army. This tactic should be thought of by any military strategist, except of course for most of the so-called 'famous generals' of the island nation.
