Chapter 425: Kaga Invasion

"The great monk is ......" Prajnain was really scared, and he didn't know how to answer, but the strong desire to survive still overcame the weak emotion, and he saw the beautiful young man smile awkwardly: "Obey the ......"

"Puff ......" The sharp ribs pierced the lower abdomen, Yin Hong's blood soaked through the thin monk's robe, and the temple was really like covering the abdomen of the knife, and raised his hand to see the blood flowing slowly down his wrist: "This is blood!" How could it be...... Obviously it should be ......"

Prajnain Zhenru raised his head and looked at him with disbelieving eyes, only then did he realize that the expression of the original Chaosheng Temple Mi Zhao had been distorted at some point, and his slender eyes were full of terrifying cruel light, and he said coldly: "Just now the poor monk gave him the last chance to live, but you didn't grasp it!" Do you just want to survive so much, so ignore the love of the poor monk for you? ”

"I didn't...... I'm just listening to you! Pranyin Zhenru looked at him with pleading eyes, a pair of big watery eyes burst into tears, if it had been placed in the past, it would definitely make Chaoshengji Mizhao feel distressed for a long time, and then punish the samurai who provoked him to cry, just like he used his tears to deal with Guangdekuji Chengxian, but at this moment everything is useless.

Chaosheng Temple Mi Zhao roared in a low and hoarse voice: "You have never loved the poor monk, you only love the power of the poor monk, the feeling of attention above ten thousand people, and the enjoyment of brocade clothes, the poor monk has long seen through this, but they are all confused by your beauty and forget their vigilance, and make fatal mistakes again and again in order to make you angry, and it is because of you that you mistakenly killed the Chengxian of Guangde Temple, and forgot to appease the Fang official because of you." It's because of you that you hastily arranged the post of Divine Protector. In the end, the battle failed and ended miserably, and it was also because of you. The poor monk has fallen into such a situation because of you! It's all because of you! ”

Prajnain Zhenru still needs to be refuted, the sharp ribs suddenly pulled out of his abdomen, blood is like a clear stream keeps gushing out, Pranya Yuan is really like covering the wound and falling in pain, he never thought that this man would be so ruthless, maybe he was wrong from the beginning, he could easily kill the man who loved the old love Guangdeokji Chengxian, he would definitely be able to easily kill him as a new love.

The desire to survive sustained him from dying immediately. Prajnain really shouted unwillingly, "Why did you do this to me...... Why ......"

Chaosheng Temple Mi Zhao picked up the ribs and licked the blood on the blade, until his mouth was full of bright red blood, and then he roared frantically: "Because you are dead, you can go to the Pure Land of Bliss to reunite with the poor monks, and the sage of Guangdeok Temple can also reconcile with you...... Wouldn't it be nice for the three of us to live happily together? Hahaha......"

"You're crazy...... You're going to hell! ...... who will go to hell" Prajnain really struggled for a while and swallowed his last breath unwillingly, until the moment he died, he couldn't understand that this man who had been with him for a number of days and nights would actually attack him, then there was only one possibility, he went crazy.

Chaosheng Temple Mi Zhao is indeed crazy, he has never eaten meat for the first time, and the first time he tasted meat was to drink the blood flowing from his favorite Prajnain Temple. Facing the Uesugi cavalry who rushed over, he held the ribs and licked them carefully. Until there was not a trace of blood on it, he suddenly knelt in front of the corpse of Pranyin Shinru, raised his ribs and stabbed his heart, and then used all his strength to pounce forward, hugging the dead Pranyin Shinru and dying.

When Uesugi Masatora and many other samurai such as Saito Asanobu, Kakizaki Keike, and Jimbo Choichi arrived in front of this small river, looking at the dead and wounded monks and two corpses stacked on top of each other, there was a strange feeling that could not be described in words, neither disgust nor disgust, but a complex of absurdity, sudden fog, thoughtfulness, exclamation, and mockery.

Kaga, who is known to be the commander of Hokuriku, has always been a general, and he will first kill his beloved inner people and then commit suicide and fall on top of him, it stands to reason that this should be a martyrdom action that a bunch of samurai couples will do when they encounter a certain war of death, but most samurai first kill all the sons of the main room and then cut themselves off, and it is relatively rare to be martyred together with the main room.

Sugiura Genren, who was abandoned in the camp on the west bank of Zhuangchuan, insisted until the afternoon after learning that Chaokatsuji Miteru had been killed, and Kaga had always been a whole army after the news that the whole army was annihilated, he immediately gave up resistance and left the camp to beg to surrender, at this time there were still more than 15,000 people left in the camp, and nearly half of them were wounded, and even Sugiura Genren's left arm was hit by an arrow, and the clothes lined with strong armor were thick enough to be just a flesh wound.

This fierce war finally came to a successful end at this time, this time Kaga has always invaded Vietnam, a total of more than 127,000 troops have been invested, of which more than 58,000 were killed and drowned, more than 2,000 people could not find their bodies or disappeared and escaped, more than 67,000 people were captured and surrendered, a total of 180,000 stones of grain and grass were seized, weapons, armor, arrows and various foster care materials were not counted, and there were also gold, silver and jewelry equivalent to 32,000 Yongle money, tea sets, calligraphy and paintings and other luxury goods of unknown value. A total of more than 3,600 horses were captured, of which most of them were wounded.

More than 6,000 people were killed in the battle, including 2,000 by Numata Yumitsu, 1,000 by Yamamoto Tokiyuki, more than 600 by Saito Asanobu and Kakizaki Keiya, minor losses by Uesugi Masato, and the rest were the battle losses of the Vietnamese Chinese and the Jimbo Choji Division, the wounded were more than double the number of losses, and more than 15,000 were wounded, of which about 2,000 were disabled and will withdraw from the main force of the Kira Army.

This battle can be described as an earth-shattering crying ghost god, with 23,000 people first breaking through the 50,000 army to slaughter a total of more than 24,000 prisoners, and then rebelling against more than 23,000 people in the headquarters of the god protection chief, set up a series of surprise attacks, ten sides of the ambush array will be sitting on 70,000 troops of Chaoshengji Miteru trapped in the river plains of the Tonami Plains, with raids again and again to achieve the strategic purpose of division and encirclement, and then in the Uesugi Masatora raid and Kakizaki Keijia trembling 5,000 Chaoshengji 5,000 troops completely annihilated, Finally, he crossed the Yamada River and gave the final blow to Teru Katsuji as the finish.

In terms of the sophistication of the battle design, the difficulty of planning and calculation, and the high degree of coordination and strong execution of tactics, it is a first-class victory, which is the great victory won by the cooperation of Uesugi Masatora and Yamamoto Tokiyuki. Without one of the two, this strategy would not have worked. Similarly, without Saito Asanobu and Kakizaki Keijia and other generals who can withstand the pressure and attack, it is impossible to succeed.

Of course, the biggest contributor is the sudden defection of the chief of the gods. With a stab in the heart of the Chaosheng Temple, the 23,000-strong army suddenly came out in front of Kusan Castle, extinguishing Kaga's last hope of escaping back to Kusan Castle, thus laying the foundation for this great war of annihilation, only 2,000 of the 127,000 people were missing, and the head of the nearly 60,000 people sought was completely worthy of an amazing war of annihilation.

The Vietnamese-Chinese Great War lasted six months before and after, and after several twists and turns, the great strategic goal was finally achieved, and not only the remnants of the Vietnamese-Chinese party that had always been in the same place were annihilated. He also killed Kaga's general, and more than 50 officials, including Sugiura Genren, the number one general who sat down under the head of Tekatsuji Temple, were captured, and 60,000 Kaga Ichō's main forces were captured, and almost all the essence of the north of Tetori River was lost.

In layman's terms, Kaga Ichimune was played by Uesugi Masatora and Yamamoto Tokiyuki.

The two elders of the Ashikaga family together, felt that the invasion of Kaga at this time was a very good opportunity, and if the letter was sent to the Dewa country one by one, it would take at least twenty days, and by then Kaga Ichijo would definitely have reacted, and maybe he would reach a peace with the Echizen Asakura family. Then the troops will be sent to surround the Kanazawa Imperial Workshop.

As the saying goes, when the judgment is constantly against the chaos, one of the privileges that Kira Yoshishi gave to the elders of the lineage is the privilege of acting cheaply in special circumstances. Of course, their actions will be recorded by the Kira ninja, and they will be reviewed again when Kira Yoshishi returns to Kasuga Mountain Castle, of course, this is not a problem, so far there are only four who can be the elders of the pedigree family, Uesugi Masato, Yamamoto Tokiyuki, Sanada Yutaka, and Mogami Yoshimitsu.

The first two of these four people are the eldest brother, one is the enlightenment teacher, the last two one received his Long En is grateful for the unrequited, and the other is almost elevated to become a public is planning to work hard, these four people give a certain amount of cheap action is also convenient for them to play, always can't be like the emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty to teach the generals how to set up a battle in battle, there is no power to act cheaply on the battlefield will be a joke.

Unlike the cheap actions of different generals, which are the correction of deviations in the execution of tactics, the cheap action given to these four generations of family elders is to allow them to adjust their strategies and launch appropriate wars when things are over, of course, they are only allowed to win and not lose, they can only take advantage and not suffer losses, otherwise even if the strategy is right, it will be in vain.

Yamamoto Tokiyuki sat in Toyama Castle to stay behind and collect the prisoners, Okuma Ashideki sat in Uozu Castle as the governor of Echichu, and the title of Jimbo was returned to Masuyama Castle after being stripped of his command, but all the territories that he accompanied his retainers who participated in the rebellion and died in battle were confiscated, and the samurai who surrendered to the Kira family were also classified as direct ministers and not returned.

After a few days of rest, the 30,000 men of the Kira Army, which had been hastily reorganized, were drawn out on August 12, and the army was divided into three routes, led by Uesugi Masatora, Saito Asanobu, and Kakizaki Keiie, and 10,000 troops each.

The officials of Kaga Ichijo did not expect the Kira army to attack suddenly, and with the strong cooperation of the Kira ninja and the Kaga Fang officials who led the way, the three-way army smashed the city all the way and smashed into the heart of Kaga Province, surrounded Kanazawa Gobo early in the morning of the third day, and with the help of the leading party who was the first to infiltrate, they deceived open the city gate and seized the military and political center of Kaga Province.

Subsequently, the Kira naval army bypassed the Noto Peninsula and raided Motoyoshi, an important trading port at the mouth of the Tetori River, as one of the Mitsu Seven Minato, his trade income was an important source of support for Kaga's fighting vitality, Kaga had always mobilized tens of thousands of troops to fight, and every time he mobilized, he had to abandon his own land, and if he had no money and no food to eat, he would only starve to death.

The capture of Benyoshiminato was equivalent to cutting off half of the blood transfusion source of Kaga Province, and then hundreds of ships of the Kira Navy that continued to be reinforced broke the momentum of the naval counterattack organized by Kaga Ichi, captured nearly 100 ships of all kinds, and set fire to all the Ichizamune military ports near the Tetori River.

Uesugi Masatora advanced so fast that the people of Kaga were unprepared to get involved in a raging war, and for the next seven days they attacked Kaga's forces from all sides. Take advantage of the opportunity to use the banner of the defeated army to deceive into the city, open the city and other methods. The fortified cities of Ishikawa County and Hebei County were forcibly uprooted. As far as the eye can see, there is no longer a single fortified castle in half of Kaga that belongs to Kaga.

The current governor of the original Kaga guardian clan, Harusada Tomigashi, quickly led his clan to serve under the banner of Uesugi Masato, and their clan has been completely reduced to the puppet of Kaga since Tomigashi Masako was killed by Ichichi, and his brother Tomigashi Shiyasu joined the Koiichi Kagashi to fight with the big Ichikata in the Xiangroku Rebellion, and after the defeat, he was captured and exiled from Kaga, and since then, the Tomigashi clan has been completely deprived of the false name of the guardian.

Many forces similar to Harusada Tomigashi who opposed Kaga and Ichijo all jumped out and joined the Kira family. Most of these countrymen were persecuted by Kaga Ichimune and were deprived of their political territory, and some were hardcore retainers of the Tomigashi clan, such as Denden Temple Castle, Takao Castle, Kurita Bigo Shokan, and Yamakawa Mikawa Shoukan, who voluntarily surrendered.

A number of heterogeneous temples in Kaga Province, such as the Soto sect Daihonzan Shoji Temple, Mahayana Temple, Shingon Buddhism Fushimi Temple, Nichiren Sect Honzan Myoseiji Temple, etc., fell to the Kira Army, and since Honganji Renru ran here to stir up the wind and rain, life has become more and more difficult, but fortunately, the roots of these families are very strong, and the only Nichiren sect with hatred can still maintain not being bullied with the support of a large number of townspeople.

Mahayana Temple is the ancestor of the Tomigashi family, the Tomigashi family, in the middle of Kamakura invited the Soto sect monk Totsu Yoshisuke to open the mountain, and later by the Rinzai sect monk Gong Weng Yunliang as the abbot, and then established the ten-way abbot system. The third-generation abbot was Master Myeongbong Sozhe, who was born in the Tomigashi clan, and built this resource into a famous temple in Hokuriku Province.

At the beginning of the Northern and Southern Dynasties era. The Ashikaga clan once prayed in the Mahayana temple for the end of the troubled times, and there is this aura to protect the status of the Mahayana temple as no less than the temple of the temple, and the Bodhi temple that protects the Tomigashi clan as Kaga is also highly valued, but with the entry of the Tsuyoshi sect, everything has changed, and the Tomigashi clan has been bullied, and the temple has also been affected.

The believers were robbed and no one was farming for the temple, the incense money was getting less and less, and the temple was repeatedly attacked and became dilapidated, and the monks of the Mahayana temple without monks could only go to the fields to farm by themselves, and the life was extremely difficult.

Kurita Beihou and Yamakawa Mikawa Shoudai are always proper anti-Ichijo clan forces as the genealogy of the Tomigashi clan, and they took refuge in Kaga almost without much thought when they saw the powerful Kira family, in fact, they can survive until now, or because Kaga has always wanted to keep Tomigashi Harusada as a backup to allow them to survive, but they don't want this trick to be cheap Kira family.

Kaga has always been shocked, the next moment is the anger of departure, the angry army of the army from all directions, Kaga has always been a fan of the believers spontaneously united under the cooperation of the monks and disciples, including the conquered Ishikawa County, Hebei County in the Fang officials and the Tu people swarmed, from 3,500 to 120,000 as if endlessly killed.

Kokatsuji Kyoyoshi hurriedly transferred Echizen to the north, and the form of Kaga Kunichu became very unfavorable, because it was sent in a hurry, so the army that was transferred back was only 15,000 people, and the commander of the army was Echizen Kono Castle Lord Wakabayashi Nagato Mamoru, who became famous slightly earlier than Sugiura Genren in Ichizo, because he did not have the luck of Sugiura Genren and could only succumb to Echizen to fight against the Asakura family on the front line.

This army went all the way north to absorb the defenders of Kaga from all over the country, and when they came to the south bank of the Tetori River, and absorbed the Ichikawa County and Hebei County that had fled from the army, the army quickly swelled to as many as 60,000, and for a time the prestige was quite a bit of the situation when the temple was in Viet Chung.

At this time, the officials of Kaga Ichikozong can also guess that Chaokatsuji Miteru may have encountered an accident, although they have not received specific information, but the Kira army dares to blatantly kill Kaga is enough to show the seriousness of the problem, Wakabayashi Nagamen Mamoru plans to take advantage of the excitement of the army, and he did not realize the seriousness of the problem for the time being.

However, his idea was soon shattered by Uesugi Masato, and almost overnight a terrible rumor circulated in the land within the four prefectures of Kaga Province, Kaga Ichijo, who had gone on an expedition to Echichu, was annihilated by the Kira army, and the 127,000-ji army was either killed or captured.

That's why the Kira army was able to brazenly enter Kaga Province and destroy the city. He also took away the proud Motoyoshi Minato of Kaga Province and brutally took it away. Although in Mitsu Nanaminato, Motoyoshiminato's ranking is low. It is not as famous as Naoetsu, Tsuruga Port, Sakata Port, and Wajima Port, but it can always be compared with Mikuni Minato and Iwase Minato, and Kaga relies on it for foreign trade and taxation.

The lethality of this rumor was too great for the Fang officials and the followers of the Sect to suspect, and then a bunch of accurate information soon came in, and it was learned from the Fang officials who had fled from Ishikawa County and Hebei County that there were many Fang officials who were supposed to go to Yuezhong to serve as the leading party of the Kira army, and the morale of the army was inevitably shaken. Ruolin Nagato Mamoru knew at a glance that the possibility of a quick attack was approaching zero, so he set up a large camp on the spot to set up a confrontation posture.

Under the wanton impact and slaughter of the Uesugi army, the system of Ishikawa County and Hebei County, which had suffered serious blood loss, was almost collapsed, and all the officials who resisted fiercely were killed, and his family members were captured on the spot and exiled to Sado Island by the boat of the Uegara Naval Army.

In any case, no matter how many prisoners were taken and sent to Sado Island, the free labor was used first, and if no one redeemed them for a year and a half, they would be distributed to the various mines under their jurisdiction as miners, and Echichu would release thousands of defeated captives because of the surrender of the chief of the gods. Just in time for Kaga, the abundant free labor has caused the local residents of Sado Island to give up their careers in mining. Instead, I went into a handicraft workshop and became a townholder.

In fact, all this did not surprise Uesugi Masatora, as early as when he and Yamamoto Tokiyuki discussed the raid on the hinterland of Kaga, he had fully considered the relevant problems that Kaga might encounter, the sudden invasion of Kaga by foreign troops was easy to fall into the quagmire of the vast ocean, and the need to hope for a quick opening of the situation to clear the rebels could not only rely on the 30,000 troops in their hands, but also make more use of the local leading party like Harusada Tomigashi and the strength of reinforcements.

So from Echigo, 6,000 troops were transferred to Honjo Honjo, Hojo Takahiro, and Kurokawa Kiyomi, who were left behind in Kasuga Yamajo, and the military strength of this part was newly recruited according to the latest number of Ishitaka military service, and according to the standard of 10,000 koku and 200 military service, the current number of military service in Echigo should be 56,000.

However, considering that the development of agriculture and handicrafts in Echigo was inseparable from the support of a large number of laborers, the burden of military service in Echigo was only increased by 10,000 people, and 3,000 of them were selected to supplement the three generals, so that Honjo Shigenaga and others changed from empty reserve generals to serious generals.

Only 6,000 people will not have any impact on the defense of Kasugayama Castle, and the other 7,000 troops in training and Nagao Masaki's command of the Naoetsu garrison, as well as the garrison in the castle directly under Kira Yoshitoki, no one can move these two armies without Kira Yoshitoki's warrant, the two armies are not under each other's command and belong to the two systems, and the castle Honmaru is still controlled by the Ji samurai of Nagao Torahime, these three forces can effectively ensure the safety of Kasuga Mountain Castle.

In addition, Yamamoto Tokiyuki also quickly said that after he sent the prisoners back to Echigo in batches and handed them over to the guards of the Tongxin people in various places, he could quickly organize military support, and now there are still tens of thousands of troops left in Vietaka to recuperate from their wounds, they were wounded in the Vietnamese-Central campaign that lasted for half a year, and were left to recuperate and recover from their injuries, among them there are only 8,000 people who can continue to fight, and only more than 3,000 people can form combat effectiveness in half a month according to the recovery of their injuries, and Yamamoto Tokiyuki decided to send these 3,000 people over to the commander of Numata Yumitsu.

Honjo Shiganaga, Hojo Takahiro, and Kurokawa Kiyomi each led 2,000 troops, taking advantage of the night to land from Honyoshiminato at the mouth of the Tettori River, and quietly entered the Kanazawa Imperial Workshop in Ishikawa County to standby, and then the 3,000 troops who arrived were taken over by Numata Yumitsu, and after a few days of reorganization, the 9,000 troops crossed the Tetori River as the vanguard, and launched an attack on the 60,000 to Ichichi army outside the Shoyu.

Although the 15,000 troops of the Nagato Guard Department of Wakabayashi were stationed in the Sho Sheng, and the remaining 45,000 troops were scattered within a radius of several kilometers, although the Wakabayashi Nagato Guard nominally gathered 60,000 troops, but in fact only had control of the 15,000 troops, and the general was the Shinkyo of Xiguang Temple, who was urgently appointed by the Kyoyo of Chaosheng Temple.

The military strategy level of Xiguang Temple Zhenjiao is good, as a general of the monks who can fight well under the Chaosheng Temple Sect, he once led 5,000 troops to meet the Echizen Asakura army as a town general and has an honor, but as a light pole commander, he came to Xingsheng to lead an army of 60,000 for the first time, and he could not mediate the various demands and contradictions of the monks and officials from all walks of life in a short time.

When the vanguard of the Kira army, the 9,000 troops, came to kill, and the many officials who gathered in the Xuan Sheng Dynasty were still arguing over the distribution of grain and grass, the request for medicine, and the supply of supplies, the death of Chaosheng Temple Mizhao would not be fake, and his death not only buried all the main forces in Ishikawa County and Hanoi County in vain, but also smashed a large number of grain and grass reserves, ordnance reserves, and medical reserves into the water of the pond in Vietnam.

At this time, there was a new move in the Asakura family on the Echizen side, Asakura Keitaka led an army of 20,000 to Echizen and always made a move, and the Chaoshengji Temple Kyoyoshi was unable to look north for a time in order to deal with the army of the Asakura family, Kaga has always faced a dangerous situation of being attacked from both sides, and what is worse is that a large amount of grain and grass was buried in Echichu, and the grain for the new year was confiscated, and the Kanazawa Imperial Workshop, which stored money and goods, and the Benyoshi Minato, who provided taxes, were taken away again, and half of the country fell to the enemy, and there was no money, no food, lack of medicine, and armaments had to be prepared by themselves, How to fight this war is confusing.

When the 3,000 cavalry of the 9,000 elite were divided into three ways to slaughter outside the Xuansheng Fortress, Kaga had always gathered to actively resist when the army had just woken up from a big dream, but their army was uneven and there was no array, and they came from all directions and were attacked and retreated again and again.

Honjo Fancho, Kurokawa Kiyomi, and Hojo Takahiro are battle-hardened generals after all, and when they saw that the situation was not good, they immediately led the cavalry to rush out of the encirclement, and went around to the weak point of the army and bit down hard and then quickly retreated before they reacted.

The 3,000 cavalry team under the leadership of the three generals dodged left and right and did not run far, just standing outside the range of Kaga Ichijo's bow and arrows, while resting while taking the opportunity to observe the changes in the situation, and immediately rushed in to harvest life when the opportunity came, this kind of tactics that could not be beaten and could not be beaten, and could not be beaten without fighting, and could not be disgusted with the dead, and in desperation, Wakabayashi Nagato Mamoru divided 5,000 troops to stare at the 3,000 cavalry team, and launched an attack on the 6,000 ashigaru in the distance with the remaining 10,000 troops.
