Chapter 322: Nobunaga Kamiraku
Chapter 322: Nobunaga Kamiraku
Under the Fire Palace Castle, it was already dusk, and the war was almost over.
The Vietnamese-Chinese coalition front completely collapsed.
Under the slanting light of the setting sun, on a plain under the city, the defeated soldiers of the Yuezhong Hao clan threw their weapons everywhere, and they fled all over the mountains.
"My lord, this is a big victory, our army can pacify Yuezhong in one battle. With the exception of Toyama Castle and the land west of the Kamzu River, the Jimbo family will be included in the ownership of my Takeda family. ”
The generals under Li Xiao's command are all happy now.
Li Xiao waved his hand and said: "Wrong, although this battle is won, there are many wealthy clans in Danshi Yuezhong, and it is not possible to calm down for a while." So we could not slack off and ordered the whole army to pursue"
Hearing Li Xiao's words, the warrior's face stiffened, and he said: "Lord, this is almost dusk, the sky will be dark, if it drags into a night battle, it is very threatening, if you are not careful, the enemy army has an ambush, and the momentum of victory and defeat will be reversed." ”
Li Xiao said loudly: "How come I don't know the risk of night fighting, Danshi is different from Mino. In Mino, I can let Ando Shousu go, and Endo Keitaka leaves, because I don't have the strength to annex Mino. Vietnam and China are different, this is the place where I will be based in the future, and local independent forces will never be allowed, and in order to eradicate the various wealthy forces in Vietnam and China in one fell swoop, this risk must still be taken. ”
Speaking of this, Li Xiao snorted coldly and said: "Fortunately, these wealthy families in Vietnam and China are not self-sufficient and want to defeat me in a field battle. But I don't know that it just gives me the opportunity to catch them all, if I take one city after another, even if I work hard for several years, I will not be able to level Vietnam. ”
Then Li Xiao sent a military order to the envoy: "Except for the enemy army who surrenders, all those who resist the enemy army will be killed, one person captured, or one person killed, and you can get three guan if you are a samurai, you can get ten kan."
After receiving such a military order from Li Xiao, and under the heavy reward, the three major reserves of the Takeda Army swept away, chasing behind the Vietnamese-Chinese coalition army, and chased all the way.
It was the pursuit battle at night, which also became a nightmare for the powerful forces in Vietnam and China.
Many heads of small wealthy families were killed by the Takeda Army, or captured, and some even had sparse families cut off their family names.
And the Takeda Army's merciless killings also remind people of the scene of slaughtering and killing people in the places where Takeda Shingen attacked Shinano.
The momentum of the wealthy families in Vietnam and China is terrifying.
The next day, it was dawn.
Li Xiao held the military equipment in his hand, sat on the Mazha of the main formation, and stayed awake all night.
At this time, the various troops pursuing from the front, Yijing returned to the place where the battlefield was yesterday.
After a night of fierce fighting, all the armies were not small, Li Xiao ordered Masuda Changsheng as the army to pay the eye, count the heads captured by each person, accumulate combat achievements, and reward them after returning to the division.
After that, Li Xiao also held a head inspection ceremony in accordance with the practice of the daimyo of this era.
In front of the heads of the dead in battle, Li Xiao praised the warriors who had killed more enemy heads or famous warriors on the spot, and rewarded them with gold and silver.
"My lord, this is the head of the Jimbo Sogoro Yasuki clan Zhang, as well as his head pocket"
Li Xiao looked at the head of the closed eyes in this head box, this is the head of the second person of the Shenbao family, Shenbao Zhang, his martial arts luck also ended here, as soon as this person died, the power of the Shenbao family in the middle of the country will be leaderless, so it poured Li Xiao's heart.
Li Xiao nodded, and ordered to reward the standing ashigaru who had beheaded the Shenbao clan.
In addition to the Jimbo clan, there is also the head of Kikuchi Takekatsu, the lord of Ao Castle, which is also on display.
Kikuchi Takekatsu was defeated by Li Xiao once under the castle of Zengshan Castle, but he escaped with his life, but this time he was not so lucky, and he was directly cut off his head.
Li Xiao also gave the corresponding reward for killing Kikuchi Takekatsu.
"Let Me Go"
"I will kill you all over again, but I will not allow you to be so humiliated"
Outside the big tent of the head inspection ceremony, a series of piercing cries sounded, Li Xiao turned his head to look, it turned out to be a middle-aged man with a rough face and covered in blood, with a big tie all over his body, and was sent into the big tent under the escort of five standing pushers.
Li Xiao asked his subordinates, "Who is this person?" ”
Li Xiao's subordinates wanted to answer, but the other party hurriedly replied: "I am Captain Kojima Rokuro Saemon, are you Li Xiao?" ”
Li Xiao glanced at the other party again, nodded and said, "It turned out to be Lord Xiaodao, and I am Li Xiao." ”
After speaking, Li Xiao waved his hand, and his life was so light that he didn't have to escort the other party anymore.
Kojima Zhizhen gasped heavily, looking at Li Xiao without the slightest intention of giving in.
Li Xiao was the first to speak: "Lord Xiaodao, in yesterday's battle, the overall situation of Vietnam and China has been decided, and the west of the Shentong River is no longer in the territory of my Takeda family. I know that Your Excellency is a famous general in Vietnam and Central China, and if you surrender to my Takeda family, I promise to ......",
"No need, I just want to die," Kojima didn't even listen to the conditions, and rejected Li Xiao, "Li Xiao, you just have a little luck, Danshi won't be proud in Yuezhong for long, when Lord Miyakata-sama quells the rebellion and returns to Yuezhong, my fate today is Your Excellency tomorrow, haha, Your Excellency wait."
After Xiao Daozhen finished speaking, he laughed loudly, and his eyes that looked at Li Xiao also showed a bit of hatred.
Li Xiao naturally looked at the other party's expression in his eyes, and his eyes narrowed.
Standing on the side also said: "My lord, this person is very difficult, and in order to capture the other party, we also lost five standing guards. ”
Li Xiao nodded when he heard this, and said: "Since Your Excellency has made up your mind, it's a pity, I thought that Your Excellency would still be able to belong to my Takeda family like the two adults of Terashima and Shuiyue." In that case, let your thoughts be fulfilled."
Li Xiao also knew that this person was a diehard loyalist of Uesugi Kenshin in history, and since he was rejected, he was not prepared to bother with persuasion.
At that moment, Li Xiao waved his hand and motioned to take Xiaodao Zhizhen down and let him cut his abdomen.
Hearing about his fate, Kojima Zhizhen showed the demeanor of a samurai, and after being pushed out of the military tent, he laughed all the way.
His gesture caused another person to be escorted from the military tent, and there was a bit of pity on his face.
"The general of the defeated army, Shinsuke Kano Hideji, meet Tajima-sama."
Li Xiao turned his head to look at this person, only to see that the other party was standing calmly in place, and his demeanor was quite peaceful.
"Well, it turned out to be the young master of the Kano family."
"Exactly."
Li Xiao thought for a moment and asked, "What about the honorable father?" I remember that in the end, the Kano family's army was attacked by our army in several ways, right?"
Hideji Kano nodded and said, "Exactly." After leaving the palace in charge, he covered his father's retreat, presumably at this time he was on the way back to Ikubo Castle, and he was fortunate not to be dishonored. ”
It seems that this person volunteered to be the queen of the palace, and after covering his father's breakthrough, he was captured.
However, although this person was defeated, Danshi did not have the slightest look of despair on his face.
Li Xiao heard the other party's answer and smiled slightly, what did this person say, it was a little interesting.
I remembered that this person was the one in the Uesugi family in history, who could go hand in hand with Naoe for a while.
Li Xiao felt a little appreciative of this person, and said in a loud voice: "I appreciate you, surrender to me, you are my banner warrior, and I also guarantee the safety of the Kano family in the territory of Ikubo Castle?" ”
Hideji Kano sighed and said without hesitation: "Thank you Tajima-sama for your appreciation, and your subordinates will do their best to be loyal." ”
Seeing that such a talent was in his hands, Li Xiao couldn't help laughing, obviously very happy.
Li Xiao can't be unhappy, this battle between Vietnam and China is still a lot of harvest for Li Xiao, and it has hit the main forces west of Shentong River in Vietnam in one fell swoop, and the big and small wealthy families have suffered certain losses in this battle.
And the Honganji forces, which could have competed with Li Xiaoyi for the land of Yuezhong, have not yet recovered from the heavy losses in the battle of Fangshengjin, so they do not have the strength to compete at the moment.
As for the other big Shiina master in Echichu, Yasuyin Shiina is currently under the sturdy Toyama Castle, and his head is full of bags.
Next, Li Xiao took advantage of the situation to pocket the forces of several wealthy clans whose names had been severed, and then subdued the remaining wealthy clans with the skill of those who obeyed me and those who rebelled against me, which was enough to completely occupy a large area of Yuezhong in a short period of time.
As for the city lord Ishiguro Chengzuna, who escaped this battle, and the other wealthy forces, there would not be much obstacle to Li Xiao at all.
After that, Li Xiao will try his best to digest this annexed territory, and try his best to cobble together the largest Liliang and Shiina families when Uesugi Kenshin makes a comeback next year, and resist the Uesugi family's 20,000 Echichu crusade army.
As for whether it can compete with the Uesugi family next year, this is not the bottom of Li Xiao's life.
And Takeda Shingen will also focus all his attention on the Suruga strategy, and it is impossible to provide too much support for Li Xiao.
Therefore, Li Xiao and Shiina are somewhat weak.
However, the matter has come to this point, Li Xiao is also determined to fight with the Uesugi family, and now he wants to do his best to digest the land of the Yuezhong God to protect the family and turn it into his own field.
Just when Li Xiao subdued Yuezhong in one fell swoop.
In Mino, a news that shocked the world came out, and Oda Nobunaga went to Luo
In the 11th year of Yonglu, on the 7th day of September.
Oda Nobunaga officially went to Luoluo in the name of supporting Ashikaga Yoshiaki, the descendant of the general's family.
Oda Nobunaga himself led an army of 15,000 from Gifu Castle, and as a die-hard ally, Tokugawa Ieyasu sent a thousand troops to support.
Later, the Eagle of Omi Asai Nagamasa also led 3,000 troops to join the Oda family. ,
After that, the local tycoons who responded to the Oda family gathered from all directions, and the army of the Oda family was snowballing, and it is said that it reached 60,000 people.
This force was far superior to the 40,000 troops at the time of Imagawa Yoshimoto's Kamiraku.
The first to stand in the way of Oda Nobunaga's progress was the Roxagonal family, who was already in the waning mountains at this time.
In the face of the military strength of the Oda family, the Rokkaku family reluctantly cobbled together tens of thousands of troops, stationed on the three castles of Kannonji Castle, Wadayama Castle, and Kesaku Castle, trying to defend with the fortified castle.
On September 12, Oda's troops crossed the Aichi River in three routes, and Nobunaga personally led an army with Takigawa Kazuki, Niwa Nagahide, and Kinoshita Hideyoshi to storm Misaku Castle.
After only one day of fighting, Misaku Castle surrendered to the Oda family.
The head of the Rokkaku family, Rokkaku Yoshiken and his son, were terrified when they heard this, and continued the route of their ancestors, fleeing to Kaga, who had been friends for generations, to seek refuge in ninjas.
As soon as the main family fled, the retainers of the Rokkaku family, led by Gamo Dingxiu, surrendered to the Oda family one after another, and the Rokkaku family was completely trampled under the feet of Oda Nobunaga.
With the subjugation of the Rokkaku family, the gate of Kyoto has also been opened to the Oda family.
