Chapter 109: Planning Before the Battle (Second Update)
This kind of training to sharpen guns in battle is only to improve the pressure bearing and adaptability of the two omi reserves, from the beginning of May to the end of July for more than two months, the guns that should be practiced are also proficient, the basic combined attack skills are practiced repeatedly every day, and there are also veterans who teach how to deal with any situation, and even if the two reserve units cannot be elite soldiers, they are much stronger than those peasant soldiers who can only fight a good battle.
The morale is high, and the next step is how to deal with the 10,000 cavalry Miyoshi army on the opposite side, according to many days of observation, the long confrontation of more than a month has also made the Miyoshi family on the opposite side continue to consume morale, because the camp of the Miyoshi family is stationed in the hinterland of Fushimi Toba in the south of Kyoto, and some samurai will go to Kyoto every night to drink flower wine, and the ten rivers will turn a blind eye to the corrupt behavior of military discipline, which also boosts the arrogance of some privileged samurai.
On the other hand, the people of Yamashiro led by Ise Sadataka because his subordinates do not belong to the Miyoshi family, so they have to raise their own grain and grass, according to the saying that the ten rivers are one cunning, the people of Yamashiro should also bear some grain and grass supplies, but it is just that he is more pitiful and exempt, and 2,000 people eat and drink is also a burden that does not smile, and the little money of the Kyoto Ise family is definitely not enough to spend, so the showdown fee has caused dissatisfaction among the people of Yamashiro, and the trouble in the camp a few days ago is very unpleasant, and the morale of the people of Yamashiro has also slipped to a very low level.
The morale is also not high, and the people of Hanoi and Kii of the Hatakeyama family, these 3,000 people are under the leadership of Yuzo Shinkyo is the mentality of playing soy sauce, and being able to send troops is also to give Miyoshi Changqing face, otherwise there will be a shortage of people everywhere during the autumn harvest season, who will accompany him to stay in this field for a month.
Because some ideas were not yet mature, Kira Yoshitoki did not say his own plans, so during the military discussion, some people began to think about the mountain castle people, and the first to jump out was Honda Yahachiro, he suggested: "It's better to raid at night, we wait for the army to cross the river from the southwest of the Kamogawa River overnight around the mountain castle people in the south, and then launch an attack in one fell swoop, and the Miyoshi family is attacked behind the back, and it will definitely collapse without a fight!" ”
"Great idea! Your Majesty's support! ”
"Your Majesty also supports it!"
"This is a big mistake! Shenglong Temple Castle is just under the Tianwang Mountain on the other side of the river, how can the night attack of the family be so big and quiet that it can hide from the defenders in the city? Yamamoto shook his head and immediately vetoed it.
The Kamogawa River extends to the south for only three miles before it merges with the Katsura River to become the main stream of the Yodo River, and then continues to flow like Osaka Bay in Settsu Province, and Katryuji Castle is located in the southwest corner of the confluence of the two rivers, located at the foot of Mt. Tenno, just diagonally opposite the mouth of the river, not to mention the large-scale night action can not hide from their eyes, even if they dodge the battle started, the defenders of the city raided the Kira Army from behind, that is the end of the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finch.
The current Katryuji Castle Replacement was replaced by Matsunaga Nagayori, who is the younger brother of Matsunaga Shu and a well-known general, and it is definitely not good news for him to command the 2,000 people of the Four Kingdoms.
"Does His Highness Yamamoto mean that this plan is not feasible? What do you think? An Omi native asked.
"Yes! His Royal Highness Yamamoto will tell me about it, right? ”
The people of Omi Province don't quite understand what Yamamoto's special status is, how can a retainer who is not even an elder of the family be so convinced by the Samurai of Mikawa? Yamamoto Tokiyuki didn't do too deep training in the reorganization of the two reserves in Omi in the past two months, so they didn't know how powerful this Yamamoto Tokiyuki was, and they hadn't seen all the strength of the Mikawa people, and regarded the battle of Shimizu Castle as the credit of Kira Yoshito, in their eyes, Yamamoto Kansuke was just a master of castle building, and they didn't know anything else.
"Please pay attention to the words, this is the military strategy of our family!"
As soon as Kira Yoshitoki intervened, these Omi people immediately shut their mouths, ostensibly convinced him, but that was just admiration for his wrist, there was no master-slave relationship between the two sides, especially Takashima Shichitou in Takashima County had a deep relationship with the Rokkaku family, and Otsu in Shiga County also had an old relationship with the Rokkaku family, and it was still far from accepting them as retainers.
There were many skirmishes similar to those in the military council, and each conflict was a disharmony between the two groups of retainers, which made Kira feel a headache and boredom, and throughout the second half of July, in addition to the whole army training, it was an effort to suppress the increasingly angry peasant soldiers, perhaps the sequelae of that oath, and the Omi peasant soldiers, who repeatedly instilled and strengthened the oath every day, found that they could no longer bear the routine provocations of the Miyoshi family, and the insults that had little to do with them on weekdays became particularly harsh at this time.
The greater trouble is that the 7,000 troops are not all of them, but there are also 2,000 men who are responsible for setting up camps, transporting grain and grass, cooking, boiling water, and doing chores, and these men are 2,000 people, all of whom are honest peasants, and these people also need rations, because they serve the 7,000 troops, cook and cook all kinds of chores for them, and they eat no less than the peasants.
Ji Liangyi suddenly thought of a way, and immediately mentioned: "The autumn harvest is about to lack people in the collar, and the family intends to let the husband return to his hometown to farm in the autumn harvest, I don't know what the monarchs think?" ”
"No! The men are gone, and who will handle the chores in the barracks? As soon as this proposal was put out, it was opposed by some people, and some people opposed it, of course, some people supported it, and unconsciously it turned into a quarrel between Mikawa and Omi, and Kira Yoshitomo was a headache from the quarrel, and immediately announced that the military discussion was over, and he took a dozen of his entourage to the barracks and walked around.
"It's too hot!" Yamaoka has been fanning the wind with a fan, and he has been training with the horses these days, and occasionally has the opportunity to come on duty, in his words, riding on the horse all day long has a blister, it is better to follow him around comfortably.
"It's hot!" Looking at the sun hanging high in the sky, Kira Yoshitoki could only sigh, and in a blink of an eye, he caught a glimpse of a formation man hurriedly walking over carrying firewood, which reminded him of the proposal on the military meeting, so he greeted his entourage: "Go over and take a look!" ”
Following the figure of the formationman, they came to a simple camp of the formation, saying that the camp was actually a group of tent areas, and there were temporary fire pits in the middle as a place for boiling water and cooking, and there was no one in the camp of the formationmen in broad daylight.
Hearing the coughing and wheezing sound of the tent from time to time, it seemed that a famous man was sick, and another person was helping him make medicine, and the two of them chatted for a while, and then talked about the new year this autumn, and the voice of the man who coughed from time to time was old and tired, and he gasped for a while before saying: "This year's year is fine, but I don't know if the children at home can finish harvesting the grain." ”
Another soldier sighed, "Alas! These old men have to fight in the season when the autumn grain is confiscated, and the men who can contribute in the township have come to serve in the military, and those of us who are not willing to serve in the military can only be the husbands, leaving the women and children in the family What if they are bullied by a lazy person? ”
"I heard that those children made vows to the gods and Buddhas! Is...... Ahem, ahem! There was a rapid cough, and another soldier hurriedly slapped a few times for him, and the two people in the tent immediately stopped talking, and Kira Yoshi, who stopped outside the tent, had quietly turned to leave.
The next day, Hattori Koshiro reported with the information of the campers: "The recent performance of the campers is very unstable, and some of the campers are secretly preparing to flee back to the township, and most of the campers will flee if the war breaks out." ”
"That's not good news! After the formation has run away, there is only a reserve team to transport grain, so it will be a waste of a lot of military power for basic transportation in vain! Kira's brows twisted together unconsciously.
"The problem of the formation must be solved as soon as possible, and it must be solved! I'll leave this matter to the minister! Yamamoto took on this errand as a result.
