Chapter 116: Never take the initiative
(PS: My own illness and the hospitalization of the elders in the family with diarrhea, I have been in the hospital for the past few days, so the update is pitted, I hope you understand!) Thank you to those brothers who vote every day, I want to say, it's good to have you! )
The next morning, Rokkaku Yoshiharu paced back and forth in his home camp early in the morning, constantly turning around with his hands behind his back, turning his head from time to time to look outside the curtain, as if he was expecting something. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The little surname on the side of info, the attendants didn't dare to disturb, and no one knew what Rokkaku Yoshiji was doing.
The important minister Shinding picked up the curtain and walked in, glanced at the rokkaku Yoshiji who was frowning and pacing in surprise, and saluted: "Lord, what bothers you so much?" ”
Hexagonal Yoshiji waved his hand, and immediately a small surname moved two small horses, respectively behind Yizhi and Xinding, after the two sat down, Yizhi said very dissatisfied: "It's been a day and a night, what are they doing in Hirai Dingwu, why is there no movement at all!" ”
Xinding was stunned for a moment, frowned and said softly: "Lord, is there really no news from Lord Hirai?" ”
Yoshiji glanced at him and didn't say anything, obviously there was no news at all. Xinding pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "It stands to reason that Qimu Jiqin should have set off after learning that our army had sent troops, but in this case, it should be impossible for them to catch up with our army, and the army is very neat." So ......"
"So what?"
"Therefore, I think that the actions of our army have been detected by Qimu Jiqin, and he should have marched in a hurry on the eve before, so he can reach the ...... of Waiting for the Mountain before our army" Speaking of this, Xinding's painting style changed, and he said with a smile: "It was the lord who asked me to wait for the camp step by step and walk slowly, so as to avoid being treated by Qimu Jiqin to work, lord, it's really high, high!" ”
After all, Yoshiji is still young, and since he became the governor of the family, few people praise him, although the letter is obviously a sycophant now, but it is indeed affirmed that Yoshiji's step-by-step marching policy is completely correct, where can Yoshiji not be happy, as soon as this person is happy, the questions he thought about before were naturally thrown out of the clouds.
"Well, straighten out the soldiers and horses, give me to the front of the ninja of Qiki Yoshiqin, I want to watch them flee with my own eyes!"
"Yes!"
Xinding shouted, strode out, and soon, the four thousand troops moved, lined up in a phalanx and came to the front of the Qimu Army formation, Ji Qin, who got the news, was wearing a white samurai uniform, riding a small white dragon and taking Maeda Keiji and a few people to the top of the mountain, and at the same time, one by one the flags were waved, and the Qimu Army set up a fish scale array before the hexagonal army was in place.
Waiting for the top of the mountain, Maeda Keiji saw that the hexagonal army was lined up one by one phalanx, not the tortoiseshell formation, and rode the Three Kingdoms Black to Ji Qin's body, and asked for orders: "Lord, the enemy army is only 4,000 peasant soldiers, and the arrangement is still the most ordinary phalanx, and I also ask the lord to allow me to lead two hundred cavalry to attack the enemy formation, and I am bound to come back with the head of the hexagonal Yoshiji to see the lord." ”
Honda Inutaro on the side also looked at Ji Qin expectantly, once Ji Qin agreed to the cavalry attack, then Inutaro would come forward and ask for the spear foot light team and the bow foot light team to attack. Only Sugitani Zenjubo didn't react at all, as an excellent iron cannon expert, he knows better than anyone that the advantage of iron artillery is positional warfare and city defense warfare, although it can be barely done by charging into battle, but in front of the cavalry team and the spear and archeryfoot light team, forget it, you can't get any military merit, it's better not to do this.
"It's not the right time, Hexagon Yoshiji is not as stupid as you think, the phalanx is indeed the most basic military formation, it is precisely because it is the most basic, so it will be both offensive and defensive, it seems to be easy to break through, but this phalanx of the Hexagonal Yoshiji platoon, the connection between the phalanx and the phalanx is very compact, if you can't chisel through it in an instant, it is easy to fall into the formation, and I want to save you at that time, but I can't do anything."
Ji Qin waved his hand and did not agree to Maeda Keiji's request, Inutaro was fine, but when he heard Ji Qin refused, he dispelled his thoughts and sat on the war horse honestly. Maeda Keiji was not reconciled, and wanted to ask again, but Ji Qin waved him to retreat, Maeda Keiji had no choice but to sigh and ride the Three Kingdoms Black back to Ji Qin's back.
"Big Ben, where have they been? Also, what is the situation of Iga Ninja now? ”
After hearing Ji Qin's question, Daben, who was originally standing far behind a few people, immediately ran to Ji Qin's front and replied respectfully: "My lord, after they carried out some finishing work in Nan Omi yesterday, they have already rushed to wait for this mountain with the heads of traitors. ”
After a pause, Omoto continued to report: "On the Iga Ryu side, due to the serious shortage of manpower in the ninja army, and the fact that the new ninjas have not yet been trained, there were Iga ninjas who infiltrated Minami Omi on the night of the massacre, but they quickly withdrew, and the news about the Iga ninja was also discovered during the sweeping work, and I ask the adults to surrender!" ”
Ji Qin pondered for a moment and said with relief: "Since the Iga ninja has withdrawn by himself, then forget it, as for the lack of ninja army, it is only temporary, after all, it is the wedding of the lord, and when the ninth layer of the Koga ninja goes to Kita-Omi, it is normal for Minami Omi to have a vacancy, and you don't have to blame yourself, but this time, you have done a good job, and you will get the reward you deserve when you return to Kannonji Castle." Just let Ota keep an eye on Iga-ryu's movements. ”
"Yes! Thank you, sir, and I'll send a message to Ota right away. ”
Ji Qin nodded, and his gaze continued to stare at the Hexagonal Army not far away.
……
At this time, in the Hexagonal Army formation, Rokkaku Yoshiji found a small dirt slope about seven or eight zhang high as his own formation, looking at the mountain from afar, when he saw a young samurai riding a black horse next to Hagi Yoshiqin walking in front of Hagi Yoshiqin, Rokkaku Yoshiharu could not suppress a trace of excitement. Rokkaku Yoshiharu didn't put up the tortoiseshell formation just because he wanted Qimu Jiqin to be able to lead his troops to rush in, depending on the situation, there were people on Qimu Jiqin's side who wanted to go according to their own ideas.
But soon, after seeing the young samurai riding a black horse being waved back by Kiki Yoshiqin, Rokkaku Yoshiji pursed his lips and cursed secretly: "Coward! And there was no more to follow.
The two armies were separated by two miles, staring at each other, and over time, they saw the elite degree of the two armies, and after an hour or two of confrontation, Kiki Yoshiqin and others had already returned to their main formation, leaving Inutaro alone on the top of the mountain to prevent the Hexagonal Army from suddenly attacking. Without the supervision of the lord, the Qimu army and the ashigaru only moved slightly, and they stood for too long, and their bodies were a little stiff. On the other hand, the Rokkaku Army, even if there is Rokkaku Yoshiji standing on a high place to supervise, even if the Ashigaru's own lords are around, they all have different postures, a few are standing, and most of them are squatting or half-lying.
Inutaro wanted to send troops to attack several times, but remembered what Ji Qin had instructed: "There are many enemies, we have few people, no matter what the situation, we can't take the initiative to attack, relying on the power of iron cannons, and playing defensive counterattacks is our magic weapon for victory!" ”
Although Inutaro didn't understand what a defensive counterattack was, he still understood what Ji Qin meant, so even if most of the hexagonal troops two miles away had to lie down and fall asleep, he didn't give any order to attack.
Rokkaku Yoshiji looked at the Qimu Army, who had not moved at all, shook his head and sighed: "Qimu Jiqin, Qimu Jiqin, you don't dare to fight, you are really a coward!" A lowly ninja who is destined to rely on luck for the rest of his life! ”
