In October, the snow is colorful. {This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.]

The sudden snowfall caught Li Jie off guard, he started with cotton, but the country has always been warm, so he did not prepare in advance, winter is coming, in desperation Li Jie had to send two more pieces of single clothes, however, the degree of cold resistance of the Japanese people surprised him.

The samurai from all over the western country put a layer of straw between the two layers of single clothes, and hummed happily while carrying the weapon, forming a torrent of armor, and what made Li Jie's eyes even more staring out was that the native lords from Shikoku Island and Tosa even hid the military uniform treasure in general, revealing their sturdy arms, facing the fluttering snow, throwing off their big feet and heading east.

"If the Cotton Textile Guild wants to develop its business to the Wa Kingdom, it will definitely lose money!" Riding on a horse and looking at the strange army behind him, Li Jie muttered his head speechlessly and said. Running alongside him, Li You on the side is the boss with a grinning mouth, saving a lot of money on cotton clothes and military purchases, and the shogunate, who has just made a little profit, can be regarded as having a little bottom.

"Is this the real thing?"

"I hope this group of rookies won't be scared to pee their pants." Ignoring Li You's boasting, Rao Youshen glanced into the distance, pulled the reins of the second dog and joined the marching queue.

The army marching in the snow does not see the head and the tail, stretches for more than ten miles, the eight-layer army is covered with bamboo inlaid armor, the whole piece of leather is nailed with the hard-bristled bamboo pieces of the island country's specialty, ordinary knives and guns can not be cut, it seems neat and spirited, the two wings of the army, the cavalry gallops back and forth non-stop, raising the snow flying all over the sky, and the hazy snow and fog are extremely spectacular.

This time, the internal affairs of the West were straightened out, and through the conscription order of the shogun, Li You fully recruited 140,000 troops, 80,000 samurai recruited by the shogunate and the daimyo in the land of Kansai, 40,000 in Kyushu in Zi, which has always been the place of the Japanese army, and 20,000 shirtless Turkish troops from Shikoku Island, plus the combined army of him and Li Jie is exactly 160,000, which can catch up with the total strength of the last Asuka War of the middle brother, not to mention Li You, a rookie, even Li Jie, who can be regarded as a battle-hardened battle, has never commanded such a large army, It took three days to unblock the command.

However, this magnificent army is really a boost, all the way to the Mino country does not break through, the morale is the most suitable, the thirst for the land and the war-like warriors stationed in the purple samurai are the vanguard, especially the three thousand boys and girls who have just been named Daimyo, claiming to be from Daqin, and following Xu Fu to Wajima, the descendants of the Shimazu family samurai are the most strong and majestic, and they open the way, as the general of the shogun, Li You is proud all the way.

Along the way, the armies of the daimyo were joined one after another, and they continued to advance along the Oda family gold mine last time, and finally entered the forefront of Mino Province without breaking through.

If you don't break the pass, there is a resounding name after a few hundred years, Sekigahara, north of Mt. Ibuki, west of Mt. Sasao, Mt. Tenman, southwest to Mt. Matsuo, southeast is the towering Nangong Mountain, surrounded by mountains on all sides of the east and west four kilometers, north and south two kilometers a basin separates the huge Honshu Island, from here to the west, is Kansai, from here to the east, is the Kanto, flat and narrow terrain, formed an excellent battlefield for the large corps.

It was here that hundreds of years later, in order to compete for the world, the real Tokugawa Ieyasu fought for power, and here and Ishida III, the leader of the Western Army, commanded more than 200,000 samurai to fight for the world, and the Battle of Sekigahara, Tokugawa Ieyasu won, thus establishing the Tokugawa Edo shogunate, which lasted for more than 200 years, the last generation and the most perfect generation.

Now, the Kanto and Kansai are engaged in a decisive battle hundreds of years in advance, the scale is larger, and the time to extend does not know how long, along the western part of the pass, the shogunate army slowly entered the battle formation, and unfolded a narrow formation, the longbowmen carried the fence to the front, and then the spear forest samurai holding a three-meter spear was in the back, and the left and right were the heavy samurai holding more than two meters long, the terrifying wild Tai war knife, the cavalry slowly rushed up the mountainside, and the 15,000 heavily armored Tang army pressed in the center.

As the commander-in-chief, Li Jie, Li You, and Wang Xuance rode to the forefront, holding the telescope, Li You looked at the opposite side from afar, through the hazy snowflakes, a black mountain came into view, wrinkled suspiciously, and then Li You's eyes widened, and his hands were pointed forward in disbelief.

"This, how is this possible?"

Through the snow curtain, the same huge army in the east slowly drove into the bottom of the valley, this army is even larger, and it is impossible to see how many men and horses there are in the haze, only to see the Nangong Mountain on both wings, and the snow on the slopes of Ibuki Mountain are all occupied by pitch-black figures, and the rumbling front army does not know how many cavalry are still galloping forward, slowly occupying one-third of the Sekihara.

"Nothing is impossible." Also holding the binoculars, Li Jie watched it with relish, and muttered slowly: "The Japanese country has developed Kanto for a hundred years, there are more than 3 million people in one million households, all the men between the ages of 16 and 30 have been conscripted into the army, and there are 348,000 soldiers, two days ago, I got the news that the capital of Baekje, Xiongjin, was breached, King Yici was captured by his eldest brother, and the general Ghost Fushin took the Baekje prince Fuyufeng to bring the immigrant army of Baekje Yoshiko to continue the national ancestry, and got 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry, why are there not so many?" ”

"What, what? We have an army of 400,000 across from us? His tongue was knotted, Li You almost didn't fall off his horse, and finally sat down, and the dignified shogun waved his hand with a sad face and shouted: "400,000 troops!" An army of 400,000! Lao Jiu, why didn't you say it earlier, it's too late to recruit now! ”

"Hey, hey, hey! Mind you, you're a shogun, and besides, it's not 400,000, it's 384,000. The binoculars were not put down, Li Jie waved his hand impatiently and said.

Looking back, seeing a series of military aristocrats of the Daimyo and the Ministers looking at him from afar, Li You hurriedly raised his head to point out the mountains and rivers, and the majestic and high-spirited gesture was to point out the rivers and mountains, and in the smile of the leader who was full of victory, he squeezed out a sentence from the root of his teeth like constipation.

"Lao Jiu, I can kill you!"

"Let's talk about it later!"

It was already afternoon when the army arrived and did not break through, it was still snowing in the sky, and the army of the eastern country on the opposite side was still marching into the valley in a steady stream, and it could not be opened for a while, seeing that it could not be fought today, the West * team simply camped on the spot under Li You's order, the sound of clanging buildings, rows of fence walls along the mountain from south to north for several miles, and the endless marching tents were behind it, and the huge enemy army that gradually became clear made the big bow warriors at the front line also quite nervous, vigilantly lurking in front of the formation.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, there is also a tense situation, and it can be said that the shocking appearance of the Eastern Army today is very successful, and a large group of daimyo and clans are all arguing.

"The enemy army is strong, and the decisive battle in the wilderness is not in my favor."

"Yes, if you don't break through the barrier and the terrain is closed, the iron cavalry can't go around it at all, and you can't go straight to the heart, so it's better to retreat to the Omi or Jinai Plain and fight a decisive battle."

"Oda Nobunaga, are you stupid? The rebellion of the Eastern Iron Cavalry also has the Baekje Iron Cavalry, plus the Echigo Cavalry, we do not have an advantage in cavalry, and for the sake of today, we should widely recruit Ashigaru into the battlefield! ”

There are all kinds of opinions, in the noise, Li You on the main seat is listening with an open mind, without saying a word, Li Jie said, as the coach is to know how to pretend to be forced, even if there is no bottom in the heart to make a decision, it must give people a feeling of holding Mount Tai steadily, but unfortunately, this feeling seems to be very unsuccessful, and the low quarrel not only did not gradually stop, but more people tended to increase troops.

It wasn't until Li Jie, who was bored and leaning on a chair, slapped the table impatiently that the argument was silent.

"Enough! Who are you? You are samurai, and the opposite Dongguo is just a group of temporarily recruited people, usually listening to your samurai boasting about martial arts with one as ten, Lone's ears are grinding calluses, this will be just one when three will be impotent? Tell you clearly that the shogunate will not increase its troops, and even a group of mud-legged people are afraid that you will give up their positions as soon as possible, and there is no one who is unwilling to work hard for the shogunate! ”

This daimyo position is a credit earned by working hard, who wants to retreat, didn't look at the dozens of ministers and nobles who lost their land on the other side, and the shogunate army has red eyes and wants to come to line up? After being silent for a moment, Uesugi Kenshin, who was still wrapped tightly in light gauze, took the lead in the ranks, knelt down on one knee and said: "Samurai are proud of dying on the battlefield, and I, the Uesugi Army, am willing to fight the first battle tomorrow and be magnificent for the armies!" ”

"Okay, it's worthy of the Tiger of Owari!" Li Jie snapped his fingers, Uesugi Kenshin had an extra nickname, and was preempted by the woman, and Takeda Shingen, Oda Nobunaga and others on the side also felt a great shame, and rushed to kneel on the ground and begged for help: "General, His Royal Highness the King of Min, when my Oda Army has sharpened its swords, let's take the lead!" ”

"My Shimazu family has not made an inch of success now, the first head of the coward of the eastern country, let us Shimazu family cut it off!"

"There is a sequence, Uesugi Qing took the lead in asking for orders, Oda second formation, Shimazu third formation, Tokugawa fourth formation, ......, let's go down and prepare!" was pulled by Li Jie's sleeves, Li You hurriedly waved his hand with a majestic face, and the daimyo who received the order were either happy or unwilling, so they had to retreat abruptly and get ready.

"No wonder Lao Jiu, you spoil that woman so much, at the critical moment, this woman is actually more heroic and righteous than a man, I thought that Ninth Brother you fell in love with other people's beauty?" A group of subordinates left, Li You let out a long breath, and said with a relaxed sigh, but Li Jie, who was listening, rolled his eyes, please, people covered it tightly, and they didn't even look at their faces!

"Three hundred eighty-four thousand, three hundred eighty-four thousand." In retaliation, Li Jie shook his head again, and couldn't help but let Li You sit back with a headache, covering his head and sighing painfully: "Lao Jiu, I just relaxed for a while, you can't make me feel better, why can't you recruit again?" Sweeping the floor as a soldier, Kansai is not impossible to send more than 300,000 troops. ”

"Please, fifth brother, think about the follow-up! Asuka, the granary of Kamakura is almost bottoming out, October is also the last autumn harvest between Fujian and Jiangnan, you can't expect to get too much food help from China from spring to May next year, the expenses of 160,000 people can also support a few months, once the ground is swept away, even if the war is won, the country will be beaten into thousands of holes and the people will be dissatisfied, this is what you want? ”

Li Jie rolled his eyes and asked, which made Li You speechless for a while, and he thumped his head and turned around with a headache, and sighed helplessly: "Three hundred and eighty-four thousand, even if you don't move to cut off your head one by one, I don't know when you want to cut it, how can this battle be fought?" ”

"Please, fighting a war isn't just about numbers." Li You was anxious to look like this, Li Jie was also helpless, leaned on the back of the chair and said listlessly: "Fifth brother, you don't want to think about it, there is half of the Tang land behind you, we are all in this situation for food embarrassment, he is a sickle, and the Tianzhi Pseudo-Emperor is so reckless, how can he be rich?" ”

In a word, Li You's eyes lit up suddenly.
