Chapter 423: Ambush on all sides
Numata Yumitsu immediately made corresponding adjustments, first sent someone to contact the Kira Naval Army, and asked the iron artillery team to clean up the iron artillery in the large camp one by one, and the iron artillery team in the large camp really used the iron cannon to return fire, and the two sides fired at each other for a few rounds The iron artillery team in the camp found that they could not defeat the iron artillery team outside the camp at all.
The iron artillery team of the Kira Navy shot at the camp from 80 meters away, and put bamboo bundles and infantry in front of them as a cover, and they used a half-kneeling position to reduce the chance of being shot, while the defenseless iron artillery team used the simplest standing fire to return fire, and their iron guns could only shoot at targets at most 30 meters away, and the power of more than 30 meters was greatly reduced, and it almost affected the Kira iron artillery team at a distance of 80 meters.
The iron artillery team has always found a complete difference, they need twenty breaths to shoot a round to reload, while the iron artillery team outside the battalion seems to do not need to reload at all, one round of firing after another, and the interval between each round of firing is only a short two or three breaths, although the number of their salvos is not enough to see, but the continuous sound of iron cannons not only brings huge casualties to the ashigaru in the battalion, but also brings huge psychological pressure to the iron artillery team.
Because of the distance, I don't know how many people died outside the camp, but each round of salvo outside the camp sounded basically unchanged, but the battalion had always been a one-on-one iron artillery team in the camp to be killed in the gap between each salvo, and the iron artillery ranged from a dozen to twenty iron guns. Five hundred iron artillery ashigaru lost one hundred and thirty killed. More than 80 others were injured and nearly half were seriously injured. Most of the remaining lightly wounded will never be able to pick up the cannon again.
The iron cannon head of the iron artillery team, Masuzawa Hirochiin said viciously: "It's really hateful! What kind of magic is this Kira army using to be able to fire iron cannons all the time! We've lost so many guns, but the number of their guns hasn't changed! This must be sorcery! ”
Sugiura Xuanren nodded and said, "Just ask the Guangzhiyuan Faqiao to take the soldiers down for treatment!" ”
The Asuka period set the original monkhood, after the Nara period, Heian period many improvements, the establishment of the monk outline and the monk position corresponding to the system, this system from top to bottom for the Dharma seal monk position, the Dharma eye monk position, the Dharma Bridge on the human position, the subdivision of the monk officials and the division of the monk position of the great monk of the law seal, the monk, the monk Zheng. The Dharma Eye Monk is the big monk, the big monk, the young monk, the young monk, the barrister, the lawyer, and the lawyer on the bridge.
The officials of the Kaga Ichijo sect are all on the bridge, but the level is very low, about the first level of the lawyer, and can only fight with the young monks in their early twenties, and the slightly higher status of the officials such as Sugiura Genren and most of the monks are at the level of lawyers, and the higher level such as Pranyin Shinru stayed in Ishiyama Honganji for three years and mixed to the barrister level.
Most of the monks, including the three monks who died, are at this level, and as for the Dharma Eye Monk in Kaga, he can be said to be a person who has a lot of right to speak, such as the dead Guangde Temple Chengxian is the young monk, usually in the document records and titles, you can use a certain law bridge, a certain law eye to be called, but the daily language is still called a monk. It's just that because the name of the person on the Dharma Bridge is too low, the face-loving monks and disciples use the Dharma Bridge to call themselves and avoid asking about specific monks.
Looking at Masuzawa Hirochiin slowly leaving. Sugiura Xuanren thought about countermeasures with a cold face, and the only way to consume it was to charge and defeat the annoying iron artillery team in the Kira army, so he ordered the camp to pour out three thousand ashigaru and rush out, and it was indeed not easy to come up with a way to deal with the Kira family temporarily, and the ordinary iron artillery team encountered the rushing ashigaru, if they didn't rely on it, they would probably panic and panic, and the generals who led the army could take the opportunity to harvest these panicked iron artillery teams.
It's a pity that he encountered the iron artillery team of the Kira army, not only the iron artillery team but also the baking team.
A round roasted jade was thrown out under the action of a simple stone-throwing tool, and suddenly a bright flame rose with the shattered pottery shards, and the bloody scene of broken flesh and blood could be vaguely seen in the rolling smoke, and the stumps and broken arms flew around, because the explosion point happened to be on the road outside the camp, so there were many people who were killed and injured by the broken pottery shards, and the three thousand troops who had just rushed out of the camp gate were stunned by this terrible scene.
With the development of the porcelain pottery industry in Omi Kata-cho, a more robust and stable roasted jade container has been developed, and the formula of the gunpowder fuse has also been improved, which has been strictly calculated to ensure that it detonates about five seconds after ignition, which is much more dangerous than the previous very dangerous first generation of baked jade, and the safety and stability of the new generation of baked jade have been greatly improved.
Another improved simple stone thrower, in fact, this is not an invention because this thing has large-scale applications in both the Central Plains Dynasty and ancient Europe, and there are naturally related applications in ancient Japan, just because the construction of road facilities can not keep up with the routine, and all the castles before the end of Kamakura are worse than the camps set up by bandits.
Therefore, after the trebuchet was introduced to Japan from the Central Plains Dynasty, there was a serious problem of water and soil adaptation, the cost of building and maintaining was high, and it was very difficult to transport, and the cattle and horses in Japan were not rich, either used as the mounts of the nobles, or for the nobles to pull the carts, and there were very few left for the peasants to be laborers, not to mention pulling such a heavy trebuchet to go hundreds of kilometers away to smash a few broken villages under the mountains.
When the Onin Rebellion arrived, it was because they were fighting near Kyoto, and the Eastern and Western armies dug out a bunch of messy things from their homes, including a large number of siege equipment including trebuchets, as well as firecrackers that came from the early Ming Dynasty.
The Kira family painstakingly excavated the relevant construction principles from the piles of old papers in Kyoto, and then made a simple stone thrower, which was not used to throw huge stones, but to throw a large baked jade with the size of a head, and this difference in weight was destined to be much easier to operate than a heavy trebuchet. Compared with the small surname of the small surname that shrank a few numbers when manually throwing. A larger size means a larger charge. It's also even more powerful.
The unexpectedly violent explosion caused great physical and mental trauma to the army of the first army, and the leading fang officials were unfortunately blown to pieces in the first wave of explosions, and the rest of the ashigaru turned around without saying a word and drilled into the camp, and in the process of turning back and forth, more than a dozen baked jades were thrown, killing no less than 300 lives, making their retreat as fast as a rabbit running away.
……
"Why did you lose? Why did it lose so quickly? "On the way to retreat, he still did not forget to think about the cause of his defeat, and smart people are always good at summarizing their own gains and losses. Strive to do better than others in every step, so he can suppress a Chaosheng Temple Jiaofang to sit in the position of the general general.
Carefully recall the effort since he came to Yuezhong in just ten days, it seems that he did not make a mistake that is difficult to make up, if you insist on saying that there is a mistake, it is too hasty to kill the Guangde Temple Chengxian, and suddenly a flash of inspiration made him suddenly realize: "The poor monk understands, or because of the death of the Guangde Temple Chengxian, there are 18,000 defeated soldiers under him, and it seems that they have been scattered into the defeated 30,000 troops, so it can explain why it was defeated so quickly!" It's still that the poor monk is too lax, and because of ......"
Chaosheng Temple Mi Zhao turned his face and saw the smiling Pranyin Temple. I couldn't help but sigh that there was really no way, who called him a hero and sad "beauty" level. When he met a new love, he naturally lost interest in his old love, and in order to meet the requirements of the "beauty", he did not hesitate to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, but he forgot that Guangde Temple Chengxian was not only his old love, but also an important person who sat at the head of a county and held military and political power.
The Guanglin Temple Xiu Xian, Anyang Temple Lijun, and Benxiang Temple Zhun Xing he sent were the disciples of the wine bags and rice bags who rubbed the military merits, except for the rolling melons on the back of a few scriptures, and they couldn't even explain the interpretation of the scriptures clearly, not to mention the high-end level of knowledge such as military strategy and wisdom, in the eyes of Chaosheng Temple Mizhao, they were a group of empty heads, except for eating, drinking, playing and sleeping, they couldn't do anything, and they were born with a good life of their ancestors.
The three straw bales don't understand the military strategy, so they can only rely on the best efforts of the Fang officials below, but because he killed the stubble of Guangde Temple Chengxian is even worse than changing generals in battle, which makes the military spirit of the old department of Guangde Temple Chengxian shake, and the worst thing is that so many people from top to bottom have not noticed the strange emotions of those Fang officials, and even he is busy playing with the real frolic with the Prajna Temple, and he doesn't care at all that the fire below is burning.
If he could wake up a little and keep the 18,000 old departments of Guangde Temple Chengxian by his side, but replace the past with another one, the problem would not be so serious, but he once again ignored this hidden danger, and let the three straw bales take a group of fang officials to attack the city or attack at night, from the soldiers to the fang officials, there is a deep resentment, who will do their best to attack the city, naturally the three straw bales will do what they say, maybe it is possible to withdraw after being stunned outside Zengshan City for a night.
The problems that had plagued him for a long time were the same, and the remaining problems were solved in the blink of an eye, and he secretly said to himself in annoyance: "The poor monk should not kill the sage of Guangdeji Temple in vain, the second should not forget to appease the army, the third should not send the army with wavering military spirit to the front line, the fourth should not send three straw bales that do not understand the military strategy to the front line, and the fifth should not repeatedly miscalculate the situation and think that he can still fight with the Kira army." ”
In vain, he thought that his plan was foolproof, but he didn't want to make five major mistakes by accident, so that he didn't know his vague failures, and he didn't talk about how annoyed he was with his arrogance and stupidity, the problem was that the current form made him worry again, his camp on the west bank of Zhuangchuan was more than 20 kilometers away from Sangshan City, and it would take two hours to march on foot for such a long distance, and the 30,000 troops under his command could suffer at any time.
In fact, he still hasn't said a little bit, Kaga has always made such a big move to kill him, in fact, he didn't have much real skills at all, seventy or eighty percent of the 100,000 troops are like goods, and the essence of the entire Kaga is concentrated in the defense of Echizen and Enuma County in the west, only a little elite is still like a treasure and is reluctant to use it, but I don't know that the more they are like this, the more difficult it is to win the battle.
Last time, 110,000 people couldn't beat a Matsukura Castle with a branch city guarded by only a few thousand people, and this time it was even more difficult for 100,000 people to take down Zengshan Castle guarded by tens of thousands of troops, so they poked out a big basket the next day. He himself had to flee with his men and horses in embarrassment. Where else is there half a point Kaga has always been the demeanor of a general.
This time, I didn't think clearly about the strategy of always going out of the battle. Or that Chaosheng Temple Mi Zhao didn't have time to think about what the pursuit of the battle was, whether it was the territory of the counties of Yuezhong or revenge and hatred, he didn't think about this problem well, he sent 50,000 troops out of Yuezhong, and after a defeat, he still insisted on leading 50,000 troops to the rescue, which before and after more than 100,000 people smashed in Yuezhong and didn't even see a splash, and this war had been lost more than half from the beginning.
"The poor monk was wrong again, he left in such a hurry that he didn't even know the movement of the Kira army, and he didn't know where the forces of Uesugi Danmasa, Kakizaki Izumi, and Saito Noshu were. What should I do if I encounter a surprise attack from them? The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and the more panicked he became, he couldn't help but get nervous, looking back at the wilderness to find a place where he might be ambushed.
As the saying goes, what you're afraid of comes, the poorer you are, the hell you see, the colder the windy, and the ambush that Chaosheng Temple is worried about is really the thing you don't want to see.
It coincided with the fifth watch at dawn, and there was a faint mist drifting on the plains, and the army that had been running in the middle of the night was tired and hungry when he walked to the gate of Changwan Temple, no matter how the officials urged and scolded, they were not willing to take another half a step, and in desperation, Chaosheng Temple ordered to bury the pot to make rice, although there were dry food rice balls to eat. But you can't eat a bento, you have to get some rice, cook a bowl of rice soup, and sprinkle some salt and kelp to swallow it.
The steaming soup and rice are just out of the pot. Hearing the rumbling sound of iron hooves stomping on the ground, not only did the ashiki below panic, but even the battle-hardened officials were a little at a loss.
"Oops! This is a surprise attack on the path of the poor monk! The poor monk is still on the road! "Chaosheng Temple Mi Zhao can see at a glance that the appearance of the Kira army is too coincidental, and any movement on the plains without any cover can spread far away, but there is no movement when they are camping and cooking, and the rice soup is almost made and suddenly killed, not in ambush around.
The next moment, the officials reacted and shouted: "Don't be stunned! Divide the army and resist quickly! For the sake of the monks, they must be blocked! ”
The five thousand elites who were surrounding the Chaosheng Temple Mi Zhao came to life in an instant, and shouted: "Nan Wu Amitabha!" Raising his spear and sword, he rushed towards the Kira army that suddenly came out.
Chaokatsuji Miteru was surrounded by a group of monks and fled to the Yamada River in the southwest corner, and the Kakizaki Keijia who met saw that the oncoming 5,000 troops were in good shape and high morale, and immediately ordered to drag the 5,000 elites around the north in a roundabout way.
Escorting the Chaosheng Temple is a 500 monk soldiers, is the role of the Chaosheng Temple Mizhao around the long entourage equivalent to the flag, the leader is the big waist round like the angry eyes of the Chaosheng Temple Shengzhi, Chaosheng Temple Shengli brothers, the two holding the cast iron Zen staff riding a horse one left and one right to protect the Chaosheng Temple Zhao across the river, and before they could continue to move forward was intercepted by Saito Asanobu with the black dragon cavalry.
"Monks, hurry up! We've got you covered! "Chaokatsuji Shengzhi, Chaoshengji Shengli roared and rode out of the horse, and the officials from all walks of life also joined the crowd of melee with thousands of defeated troops, Chaokatsuji Mitozhao was not in the mood to watch the rare scene of the two brothers fighting Saito Asanobu, and continued to flee to Sangshan Castle with 500 monks and less than 10,000 defeated troops.
In this short half an hour, he encountered two raids, and lost all the trump cards in his hand, and the angry Chaosheng Temple Zhao scolded: "The poor monk still thinks that he can fight with the Kira army, what kind of fight is this!" It's not easy to return to Sangshan City safely! I don't dare to expect a big win...... Wrong! I no longer expect to save face, and I can let the poor monk return to Kaga safely! ”
Pranyin really knows only the surface of the military strategy, I don't know what fun this fight and kill, it is not as interesting as playing with the monks, so he persuaded with a smile: "Don't be angry, the Kira army is weak and can only use this kind of sneak attack to seek a victory, which shows that we Kaga have always been more powerful!" ”
Chaosheng Temple Mizhao shook his head with a smile and couldn't be harsh on his new love, and said half-disgusted and half-spoiled: "You little clever ghost has to talk nonsense!" Where can you interject in the major affairs of the military. ”
This Kaga has always been a general and did not forget to flirt with his own people on the way to flee, and those officials did not dare to come over to find it uncomfortable, more than 10,000 troops crossed the Koyabe River smoothly and saw a large army rushing towards here, and the frightened army was frightened by the successive surprise attacks, and the army did not dare to move. When the envoy took a closer look at the banner of "Nan no Amitabha", he knew that it was his own military strength. So he was immediately overjoyed and looked at the friendly army to meet him.
Chaosheng Temple is not as happy as the officials. He looked at this army in disbelief and carefully stared at the flag seal for a long time, and muttered in a low voice: "That's the ...... in front The Cause of the Divine Protector's Position! How did he get here? Isn't it supposed to be at the Tohokan to monitor the movements of the Kira Army? Don't...... Worst! Can't let them come! ”
At the moment when he gave the order, the chief of the divine protection suddenly threw down the banner that had always been swept away, drew his sword and slashed wildly at the unsuspecting army of the first and first of the guards, and the people who were killed by the army of the first and one army were caught off guard and turned on their backs, and then thousands of troops poured out of the mountains and forests behind him from all directions.
The short road in the direction of Sangshan City has been completely cut off, and seeing that no less than tens of thousands of troops are rushing out to block the way, the courage of the frontal strong breakthrough has also been forced to retreat as the arrows rain down. After running in the middle of the night, tired, hungry, and frightened by the successive raids, they completely forgot that they were the most vicious group in the world, like a group of frightened rabbits desperately fleeing backwards.
There is no road ahead, and the situation of the river is unknown, so the only way to turn around and flee is the road from which it has always been, and this run has to leave two thousand people and horses to break before finally turning around and returning to the original road, and Kaga, who is not allowed to wade across the Koyabe River, has always been driven back to the east bank by the army, and this time it has lost thousands of men and horses in vain, and the Chaokatsuji Mi really wants to slap himself.
The water of the Oyabe River is not deep, and even the peasants who do not know how to swim can struggle to cross it, but the east bank of the Oyabe River has been stormed by Saito Asanobu and the Vietnamese reinforcements who arrived later. It is obvious that the 23,000 troops of the Divine Protector Commander have all defected.
The Koyabe River and the Yamada River are a small delta that resembles Hachimangahara on Kawanaka Island. There are several villages here, the largest of which is called Tongmuzhuang, which has about 500 households, and the other two villages are called Qiantianzhuang and Evening Grange, and the two Zhuangzi together are barely able to top the funeral Tongmuzhuang, so this place is usually called Tongmu.
Chaosheng Temple Zhao trekked across the river to come, after half an hour to go and return, but the mood was very different, lost his soul to see the noisy army from all directions, a face of excitement to distortion is so familiar and unfamiliar, I can't tell how annoyed and depressed, Chaosheng Temple Zhao knows that he has no hope.
The courage of the chief of the god is very big, and he does not hesitate to make a heavy bet in order to turn the tables and make meritorious contributions, Chaosheng Temple Zhao sent all the believers of the Yuezhong Sect to him to lead, and the 23,000 troops are more attractive in his eyes than 10,000 taels of gold, and the short-term command of the army and the power of moderation made him always remind himself to be cautious and careful, not to be unloaded and killed like the sage of Guangde Temple.
Although his father, Jimbo Keizong, was once close to Yuezhong and had always been a pit to kill the long tail Nengjing, but then he quickly got rid of the influence of the Ichiko sect and quickly transformed into a pure Warring States daimyo, only when he encountered the appearance of the long tail as the scene, he had a strong desire to take revenge on the god protection keizong, so he knocked out the rising momentum of the Jimbo family.
With his father Jimbo Keimune being killed by Nagao Weijing, the young Jimbo Changshi struggled to adulthood under the protection of the old minister, and gathered the original team left by his father in the name of the Jimbo clan, and worked hard for more than 20 years before gradually putting the declining family business back on track, and achieving a pattern of pressing down on the country in the west and invading the Shiina clan in Shinkawa County in the east.
Before the Kira family invaded Echichu, all this maintained an orderly rhythm of advancement, Shiina Nagatsune, an old monster, was also forced by him to live in seclusion and not ask about the world, the new Shiina Yasuin is a talented person, compared to his god protection chief can be not much worse, who wants to take the opportunity of Takeda Shingen's heavy money to cooperate with Yuezhong to deal with the Kira family, but he was brought a huge disaster by himself.
At present, the entire territory of Yuezhong is occupied by the Kira family, and his own family governor chose to flee to Kaga for support in a daze, but he smashed the unjust money and took a lot of unjust roads, but in the end, he couldn't even see the face of the Chaosheng Temple Mi Zhao, and this wish money was thrown out and the people didn't get it done and didn't return it, so he realized that the monks and disciples in Kaga were bastards who took money and didn't do anything.
Exiled in Kaga for a few months, I thought that I would lose the opportunity to return to Vietnam, but I accidentally met Sugiura Genren, invited a few banquets to make friends with him, and with his help, I successfully met Chaosheng Temple Mizhao, and got some seemingly reliable guarantees from him, and from this series of twists and turns in the process of making him realize the eternal truth of people leaving their hometowns.
This time he returned to Echichu and resolutely did not plan to go back, he was optimistic about the Chaokatsuji Temple because Kaga's strength was too strong, and the dispatch of an army ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands was simply scary, but when he found that the arrogant Kaga in the past had always been like paper paste when he ran into the Kira army, his confidence was shaken, what if he couldn't hold on? If he returns to Kaga again, will he have a chance to come back next time?
The answer is naturally no, if the defeated even the pants are gone, Kaga has always been a pinch and will never dare to move Echichu again, just when he is confused and at a loss, Chaosheng Temple Mitsuru carried 50,000 troops to re-enter Yuezhong, and recruited more than 20,000 followers of the Echichu Sect along the way, such a powerful incitement made him both envious and afraid.
It wasn't until a few days later that he discovered that this Chaosheng Temple Mi Zhao was not a good thing at all, and the enemy could still kill tens of thousands of generals in this formation, and this kind of IQ was only about the level of the stupid man of Ouchi Yoshitaka, and it seemed that no one wanted to deceive him, but in fact, when it came to the issue of competing for favor, his head was like pouring a bucket of dung.
It doesn't matter if that's it, anyway, as long as he restores the old territory in Tonami County as long as Zengshan Castle is restored, it is best to snatch back the territories in Nucheng County and Sheshui County together, but the subsequent task assignment and arrangement clearly kicks him, the "other people", as a ball, and guarding the gate is the job of the guard dog, making him, the largest countryman in the local area of Yuezhong, the Jimbo clan, who was once praised as a "guardian" by Ota Michikan, become a watchdog, which is a great insult to his dignity.
The latter arrangement is even more revealing the attempt to turn the Masayama Castle of the Divine Protection Chief's position into his own territory.,Even his own home city was robbed, so how much territory would be left to him is a debatable question.,From that moment on,The Divine Protector Chief's Position has completely broken off his mind about Kaga's Ancestral Sect.,So the town of Kojima appeared.。
The excited face of the chief of the divine protection was distorted and hideous, and he shouted hoarsely: "His Royal Highness has promised to exempt the followers of the Yuezhong Sect from punishment, as long as you follow your family to kill the Chaosheng Temple and the thief army, not only can you be exempted from the heavy punishment of sitting and mismatching, but you will also have a big reward to take!" And relatives and friends who live on Sado Island can also redeem it, but if you don't do it at this time, when will you stay? (To be continued......)
