October 25, Tensho 6 (1578) Prelude to the Battle of Ogawa
Blood, origin?
In the quiet forest, the wind that flows by, and the butterflies flutter like a new year. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The outstretched hands fell into the world like birds whose eyes had lost focus, like Fenhua.
After all, the four seasons have passed,
Spring melancholy, summer full, autumn mo, winter injury.
Mo Yi also thought from the beginning that this kind of thing would not happen until the Year of the Monkey, or that such a bad thing would not happen in this life.
However, it really befell him at a loss, and he didn't even have the titular husband Shimazu Suihei calm.
"Congratulations, Miss Hexi, as soon as the moon comes, I can finally be regarded as an adult."
The old woman invited by the town bowed to the ground with her hands, and her tone was full of joy, but she regarded Mo Yi as the kind of aristocratic lady who was completely ignorant of the world.
This kind of congratulatory message, Mo Yi's hand wiped this sad body slightly, and this is really unspeakably uncomfortable.
Sticky all over his body, accompanied by some cold sweat and occasional cold palpitations, it was really not an ordinary embarrassment to touch the thong belt made of kapok by the woman in the town.
It's a dream, it's definitely not my body!
Mo Yi closed her eyes and repeatedly denied this fact, but the slight pain that couldn't find the source of the pain was not a very lucky thing after all.
At this time, there are indeed many taboos between men and women, not to mention that people like the martial arts have taboos about good signs or bad signs, and the people outside the curtain are silent after all.
But Sui Ping didn't speak, it didn't mean that Mo Yi would still wear a mask and maintain a fake gentleness as before.
"You don't think that now that I am like this, I still have to respectfully congratulate you on going out safely, and your martial luck will last for a long time!"
Lying on the bed, Mo Yi was of course a little annoyed, and her mood was very unhappy, she had no respect for the young master, but now she was like a barrel of dynamite about to ignite.
Of course, the stunned old woman thought that this noble lady still had a big temper, and what kind of young lady did not know how to be polite, and she estimated that she was so calculating in her heart.
However, outside the curtain, you can also hear the laughter that is obviously his brother-in-law, and Ijiin often can't help it.
Mo Yi was just about to pick up the pillow next to his head and smash it over, when words came from outside,
"After the young master finished inviting the woman, he immediately went out of the battle, and if he didn't come back with the villain, you can rest in peace, madam!"
In the end, Mo Yi was self-inflicted, and now she was judged to be amorous, and she sharpened her teeth hatefully.
It's embarrassing to want to say something, but now I can't say it.
What's more, there is still a sharp rib on the side of the pillow that the young master deliberately put down, is he a martyr or what?
Mo Yi was indeed angry and retracted into the quilt with her cold stomach, and the tiredness on her body soon echoed with the pain in her body, more like a tormenting goblin.
Whether it's a bad temper or wants to cut people, counting sheep is not a foolproof strategy now.
The wind blew through the trees, and all the traveler could hear was the wind.
The story that the wind wants to tell is like the beginning of a dream after all.
The old story will only get farther and farther away, and the new story will slowly open the psalm.
To say that in the current military situation of Shimazu Suihei, there are more than 1,200 people.
In front of them were more than 400 people from Harada, of which more than 200 people were the conscription of his people, and the other 200 people were some skilled townsmen and ronins recruited by the town, most of them were armed with bamboo guns, and even the carcass was not so complete.
And his main formation, a total of more than 300 people, the most elite of which is the retinue of 30 people brought by Gamo Anjo, and they are also the only samurai who can fight tough battles in this battle, and the flag on their backs is not a single Maru no Cross, most of them have their own family crest color.
And the second is the Shikoku people led by Tsuno Xingzheng, there are more than 100 people, and the clothes and armor are indeed not comparable to the entourage, but after all, it is easy to compare with those ashilight carcass, so the rush to kill may not be inferior to the thirty or so nobles.
However, the next hundred or so were peasant soldiers recruited from their territories like Monk Myaomei, and most of them were samurai lords other than those who had followed Shimazu for a long time.
And the back of more than 500 people is the Hetuo (logistics) team out of the battle, the most warlike is the 100 standing team borrowed from the Ijiin family, the leader is the Ijiin Zhongyu, the white hair he released is already hovering in the sky, in the end there will be ambushes in this mountain forest can only rely on the eyes of this beast.
And there are more than 200 ronins as guards, arranged in the back,
The other 200 or so were non-war peasant soldiers temporarily recruited by the Hioki Shimazu family, and their main task was to transport rations.
Shimazu Suihei actually had a plan before he went out, and most of this battle was a small fight in the mountains, so he didn't need other reserve teams to deal with it.
After all, the purpose of this operation was not a surprise attack, let alone to aid Gao Cheng.
It's a strategy to stabilize the line from Takashiro to Ishokeijo and the line from Takashiro to Satohara Castle, and these two strategies are just for the preparation of the big war later.
Although the forces of the former ministers of the Ito family of Hyuga Province, who have many of them, have begun to withdraw to Sadogaha Castle, how can these two lines of defense be handed over to Ito's former ministers?
The Shimazu family does still have more than 1,000 confrontation troops in this area, and the purpose of Suihei's expedition is no different from the arrangement of Shimazu Iehisa, that is, to confront the Otomo family's army and contain the Otomo family's strong attack or movement.
If the Great Friendly Army sends a strong army to invade, he will directly retreat from the battlefield as a front team.
And this is also thanks to the mountainous nature of southern Kyushu, which also made it very slow and difficult for the Otomo army to disperse the army that Shimazu Iehisa had placed on the front line of Takashiro.
After all, there are fewer troops sent to disperse, and it is very likely that they will be divided and outflanked by the Shimazu family, but there are more troops sent out, who can guarantee the smooth and safe operation of the cage city.
There are also three thousand troops in the city,
And indeed, the resistance of the Shimazu family in the past few days has made the Otomo family suffer enough.
The little-known fourth elder of the Shimazu family, the Shimazu family, has long relied on the bravery of the iron cannon and the flag to make it difficult for the Otomo family to move an inch, and there are many corpses.
Of course, this also has a lot to do with the topography of Takashiro, and even if the Shimazu family gave up Wakaku after two days of fierce fighting in the mountain castle, there was only one way to reach Honmaru.
The south, north, and east directions of Gaocheng are all cliffs, and this terrain also makes the military strength of the Great Friendly Army further unable to give full play to the advantage of numbers.
In the days when Shimazu Suipei was reorganizing the army, the Otomo family had launched three strong attacks in a row, all of which were easily broken by the Shimazu family.
Hundreds of corpses have now fallen under the entire high castle, and this is also to let the lord of Otomo know that this castle cannot be taken by brute force.
In the end, the siege became a helpless way, and for the smooth operation of the cage city and beware of the invasion of the Shimazu family,
Tahara Kinken (Shoshinobu) withdrew his main camp and the main force out of the Kirihara River, and set up a formation between the Nokuo and Kawahara formations on the north side of the riverbank.
And the other armies are arrayed in the mountains, surrounding Takajo, and now the arrival of Shimazu Suihei will indeed involve a part of his army and even Tahara Qinxian's strategic arrangement.
