Uesugi Masatori looked at Kaga Ichimu, who was running faster and faster with his back to him, and didn't quite understand Kaga Ichijomune's intention to do this, and when I received this information just now, I thought about it for a while and didn't understand what kind of fresh tactic this was, but now I saw the actual effect and realized that this was not a new tactic at all, but really just an escape and not other back moves.

"In the face of my family's desperate battle, there may be a chance to survive, and turning my back on my family is asking for my own death!" Uesugi Masatori snorted coldly, and ordered the cavalry to join forces with Honjo Shiranaga and others, and the huge cavalry team of 7,000 had fully unleashed the power of the Kira family's monopoly on Hokuriku horse administration.

Saito Asanobu, Kakizaki Keiie, Hojo Takahiro, Honjo Shienaga, Kurokawa Kiyomi, Yasuda Keimoto, Yoshie Keishi, Arakawa Nagami, Ueno Ienari and Shoda Sadashi gathered around him, and seeing these familiar faces, Uesugi Masatori couldn't help but sigh at the rapid change of the world, after experiencing a life of only one country six years ago, and now building a huge prestige in Hokuriku and Kanto.

I didn't think there was much change before, until my former retainers had become the generals of one party and one town, and they could show how fast the changes over the years had been when they met again in front of Tetorigawa, quietly swept everyone's faces, and sighed secretly: "Only Yoshitoki can do this, and it will not be so powerful to do it in this family, at most, eat Kawanakajima to maintain the battle line, control Ueno Province and then intend to enter Kanto!" ”

Yumitsu Numata noticed that Uesugi Masatora seemed to be stuck in memory, and reminded in a low voice, "General! It's time to go into battle! ”

"Hmm!" Uesugi Masata immediately woke up and realized that this was not the best time to reminisce about the past, so he shouted, "Out of battle!" Defeat Kaga's army. Then wait for the opportunity to seize Nomi-gun! Don't give them a chance to turn over! ”

"Hah!" More than a dozen generals immediately rode out at a gallop. Then the 7,000 cavalry turned into two arrows and made a detour to Kaga's flank. The 22,000 ashigaru of this formation quickly followed up and pounced on the Kaga Ichichi who was in charge of the broken general, Wakabayashi Nagato Guard, and for a while the iron hooves rumbled, and Kaga Ichi, who had never seen so many horseback teams, was even more frightened.

"Retreat! Don't stop, retreat now! Xikoji Shinkyo gritted his teeth and ordered: "Order Hayaya Gozaemon, Takanose Ishimi Mamoru, Erqu Sakyo Shaojin, and Suzuki Dewa Mamoru to lead their troops to support Wakabayashi Nagato Mamoru, and the attack of the Kira army must be blocked, otherwise Nomi-gun will be lost!" We will all die without a place to bury! ”

The defeat has become unstoppable, and the true religion of Xiguang Temple can only make up for it, and it is not too late to happen. It's a pity that the morale of this group of troops is too low, and the 20,000 troops led by the general of the four roads still can't stop the attack of the Kira Army, and soon the 30,000 troops are exposed because of poor communication and coordination, and they are interspersed with 7,000 cavalry teams to dig out two huge gaps, and the already untidy army is divided into pieces.

Then the ashigaru team that caught up with it broke down Wakabayashi Nagato's formation with a wave of assault, and the front formation was broken so that the allies behind the formation were routed and collapsed, and then like dominoes, the collapse of the front formation caused a chain reaction that caused dozens of formations behind to collapse with it.

The people of all walks of life turned around and fled for their lives, and the main formation guarded by Wakabayashi Nagato was scattered, and under the protection of the flag samurai, he had only one way to turn around and escape. As soon as the general runs, the local collapse will evolve into a total collapse, and everyone will compete with whoever runs faster and who holds on for a long time. But how can two legs win four legs?

An important role of the cavalry is to chase and kill the rout, the faster the retreating army runs, the more they kill, because they are busy running for their lives and use all their strength to run, where is the strength to defend against the surprise attack behind, so the most happy thing for the samurai to do is to chase and kill the rout, which is safe and fast is the most favorite way of meritorious service for the cavalry.

Uesugi Masahu did not follow the attack, as the general has long been accustomed to this kind of murder and attack, he used to be happy to rush up and cut off a few heads to show his bravery, as he grows older, he often commands the troops, and there is no longer a need to charge in front to reflect his strong force that is not inferior to the first-class general.

Under the protection of 500 horsemen, he quietly waited for the end of the war, but after a while, there was an envoy to report the battle situation ahead, Wakabayashi Nagato Mamoru was taken by Honjo Shiganaga, Hayaya Gozaemon was taken by Arakawa Nagami, Erqu Sakyo Shaojin was taken by Kurokawa Kiyomi, Suzuki Dewa Mamoru was taken by Ueno Ienari, Hojo Takahiro took a slow step and did not get merit, and he was angry with an unknown official and so on and so on came to his ears.

Among them, Numata Yumitsu methodically divided several defeated troops, and was unmoved by the news of rushing to attack, Uesugi Masatoshi nodded thoughtfully: "Not impatient, not arrogant, not discouraged, to have the courage of a general, the talent of military strategy and wisdom is also first-class, but the furrow in the chest is still a little worse and needs to be polished more, and in the future, he will become a general who is not inferior to Honjo Misaku!" The person who Sadoden fancies is good! ”

Uesugi Masatora unconsciously looked at him as a senior when commenting on him, in fact, Numata Yumitsu is two years older than Honjo Shiranaga, only seven years younger than Uesugi Masato, just because he has been following Yamamoto Tokiko to practice military strategy all these years, and it is always easy to be quietly forgotten by everyone.

After a few years of precipitation, Numata Yumitsu has the qualification to lead an army alone, and the experience of the military formation has also been rapidly enriched with a series of battles in Etchu and Kaga.

Shima Shikatsu is already a general of a town reserve, over the years following Kira Yoshitoki's point has already formed a set of his own military strategy system, what he learned from Yamamoto Tokiyuki is only on the basis of his own military strategy as a perfect, Ben Duoshi is specializing in wisdom and political strategy, itself has an excellent talent for strategists, and loves to read a glance and ten lines, over the years a large number of reading accumulation has also formed its own set of systems.

Neither of these people can tolerate Yamamoto Tokiyuki's system that has been polished for decades, just as Kira Yoshitoki has his own system that can't accommodate Yamamoto Tokiyuki's system, people who are too talented always have their own ideas. I always want to find a new path of my own on the original road. Of course, there is no problem in thinking so. It is a historical trend that is better than blue, but such a person is very unsuitable as an inheritor.

Just like the swordsman who cultivates the art of swordsmanship and the art of war always has to create his own sect after leaving the school, such as the Tomita stream under the Nakajo Stream, and the bell roll stream under the Tomita Ryū sect, too smart people have to start their own mountains to be the originator when they think of something new, so the smartest apprentices will run out to start their own foundations, and only the disciples who are not the smartest but the most stable will inherit the mantle passed by the master.

Yumitsu Numata is not the smartest person, unlike the apprentices that Tokiyuki Yamamoto has accepted, all of whom are amazingly gifted. He has always been a talent who has grown up step by step, and if he is barely counted as a genius, he can only be regarded as a genius who works hard, and he becomes a genius through hard work.

Yamamoto liked him for this, and when he was young, he also liked very smart children, but as he grew older, he found that these children were too smart, and after learning some of his skills, he would always divert his interest and learn something that they were more interested in, even Kira Yoshitoki also chose to learn what he taught, not to mention the other two apprentices who became monks halfway.

Numata Yumitsu worked hard to accept what Tokiyuki Yamamoto taught, including military strategy, wisdom strategy, political strategy, including castle building and even the way to behave in the world, etc., especially in the most detailed teaching in the military strategy part. From the way of the general's use of troops, the judgment of the situation and the choices that should be made. and then familiar with the mountains and rivers and landforms, familiar with the changes of yin and yang, and gradually promoted the general to the top level of the first-class generals, as for the higher-level impact, it requires not only hard work, but also relying on talent.

Uesugi Masatori had several good masters, from the teacher Mitsuyu Tenmuro to the cultural teacher Tairen Mencha, and then to the civil and military Misaku Honjo Mori Mino, all of which brought great help to the character shaping of his childhood, but his achievements today are more due to his earth-shattering talent for war.

Just as Yoshitoki Kira's understanding of military strategy and strategy has exceeded ordinary people's expectations, Uesugi Masatora's judgment of the war situation and the fleeting grasp of dealing with the enemy are simply to the point of almost incomprehension, he can win joint battles that others can't fight and can't win, this is his strongest point, and at the same time, it is also a unique talent in this era, even Kira Yoshitoki can't do this.

He has enough ability and qualifications to examine Numata Yumitsu, who is only seven years younger than him, and he is one of the few samurai in Echigo to have this qualification, and getting his affirmation shows that Numata Yumitsu is indeed a very good military general, and the future direction may be to be a Honjo Minoru who is both civil and military, and become a pillar of the Kira family.

This war lasted for nearly an hour, and finally in the Xiguang Temple Zhenjiao with 30,000 troops abandoned Xun Sheng Yan and fled to Hetian Mountain City, where the Hetian Chaosheng Temple is located, and the 10,000 troops who retreated were barely squeezed into the Xun Sheng Yan before the end was declared, the war lasted only a short morning, and the joint attack took nearly 13,200 heads, and captured more than 7,000 people.

In fact, there were as many as 10,000 captives captured alive, but because the resistance of the captured prisoners was particularly fierce, in the end, they had to kill them with a knife, and killing one or two did not work and could not deter these prisoners, so they could only kill more than 3,000 people in one go, and immediately shocked the remaining 7,000 prisoners and did not dare to make a fuss anymore.

In addition to some of the losses caused by Honjo Shigenaga and Numata Yumitsu, on average, there was exactly one and a half more beheadings per horse samurai, in fact, the reason why the war of annihilation was not fought was that Uesugi Masatora was unwilling to use 7,000 fine horsemen to outflank and cut off Kaga's back road, so that although great results could be achieved, these 7,000 horseback samurai would die at least, and maybe the entire army would be wiped out and 10,000 or 20,000 people could escape.

This is the greatest result achieved in the most effortless situation, and it is a great victory to easily kill more than 13,000 and capture more than 7,000 without too much damage, so why bother to put in so many precious horseback warriors for so many people, and in the end, it may not be able to expand the Warring States much more.

Cavalry standing still to block the attack is the most stupid tactic, they are not as powerful as the samurai who dismount when they lose their movement speed, but if they turn over and dismount, they will become a mounted infantryman, which is a great waste for the most elite Echigo cavalry, and the pride of the samurai will not allow them to turn themselves back into the unskilled mounted infantry they once were.

Over the years, Kira has always advocated the role of improving riding. And to elaborate on the concept of mounted infantry. Since then, no samurai who can ride a horse has been willing to be a dismounted samurai. Of course, there are no people in this army who dare to refuse the general's orders, but Uesugi Masatora does not intend to do this, killing all the people here will always have to pay a heavy price, and a good victory will turn into a miserable victory, even if he wins this war in the end, it is no different from losing in his eyes.

After all, they are fighting more with less, with 29,000 troops surrounding more than 60,000 troops, and it is a very dangerous thing to surround the side with inferior forces. It's not possible for him to copy the tactics he used here and use them again, the time, place, characters, and situations are all different, and if he forcibly copies them, he will suffer a big loss.

Therefore, he only chose to take them away after killing nearly 10,000 people, and he chose to cross the Tetori River for a total of two purposes, the first was to use powerful force to deter Echizen Ichijo Ichisho and make them completely give up any illusions about recovering the lost Ishikawa County and Hebei Prefecture, and the second was to sweep away the people in Nomi County who had the ability to threaten the safety of the Tetori River waterway. The killing has always been a chill and trembling, and the slaughter is as much as possible to shock the living forces in the four prefectures of Kaga. Make sure that the domination of the two counties is not disturbed.

In the afternoon of the same day, the iron artillery team and the baking team of the Kira Navy Army quickly landed and launched an attack on the Sho Tsu, and the son of the Nine Demons Shigetaka, the son of the Nine Demons Takashi, presided over such a large-scale battle for the first time as the general of the Naval Armament Corps, and only the eighteen-year-old young man was responsible for cooperating with the Lulu attack of Uesugi Masatoshi to knock off the defense of the Sho Tsu.

The morale of the defenders in the fortress was lacking in morale and the command was different, and the main general Xiguang Temple Zhenjiao retreated to Hetian Mountain City with the main force to completely abandon this small fortress, and this fortress was not a solid defensive body, and it was quickly unable to hold on under the impact of the iron cannon suppressing the battering ram.

There are those who ran away, there were those who didn't have time to run, 10,000 defenders scattered and fled 7,000, and the remaining 3,000 were forced to surrender after the city gate was breached, and most of the officials who fled did not end well, Saito Asanobu, Kakizaki Keijia, Honjo Shiganaga and others led the 7,000 cavalry team early in ambush in the various streets, and when they encountered the rout, they always grabbed a quasi-army, and then grabbed more than half of the rout, and the follow-up rout army wisely chose to flee over the mountains.

The day after the defeat of the Shosho, the news that Kaga had suffered a crushing defeat and nearly half of the losses reached back to Echizen, and the Kyoyoyoshi of Kokatsuji could not understand how he could be defeated so easily, and the Asakura army seemed to have been accurately informed that the invasion of Echizen had intensified, and the huge military pressure from both sides made him wisely abandon his intention to continue fighting, and he sent envoys to Ishiyama Honganji Temple for help, and at the same time sent envoys to Echizen Ichijoya and Kaga Kanazawa Gobo to negotiate a peace.

On the seventh day after the capture of the Tsuyu Tsuna, the Void Kurayama Castle and Nabeya Castle near the Ladder River were captured, the Niqu Castle and Tokoshi Castle in the upper reaches of the Tetori River also fell because the lord of the castle was killed, the Seto Maruyama Castle and the Zozakikan Kaijo Castle in the upper reaches of the Tetori River surrendered, and the defenders of Iwakura Castle, Koyama Castle, and Iwabuchi Castle, which were surrounded on all sides, also abandoned the castle and fled shortly after.

The envoy of the Asakura family was the governor of the Asakura family, and the lord of Asakura Mountain, one of the two positions of the Ichijoya Castle, and when he saw Uesugi Masatora, he strongly questioned the Kira family for not keeping their covenant and launched an attack on Nomi Prefecture on the southern bank of the river.

Putting aside the astonishing record of 30,000 annihilating 120,000 and destroying 120,000 that has been circulated in the market, it is the battle of the Zodiac that was fought only a few days ago, in the war of 29,000 against 60,000, not only did he win a complete victory and behead 13,000 prisoners and 7,000 prisoners, but also killed a total of 30,000 prisoners in the subsequent siege pursuit battle, such an amazing record could not be achieved even when Asakura was alive.

It is undeniable that Asakura Sodra has always faced the main elite of Kaga in his life, and Uesugi Masato's amazing record in the battle of Kagyu is largely due to Kaga's uneven army and poor command and coordination, but no matter how many objective reasons they have, they may not be able to have the same effect. At least the Asakura family did not have a 7,000 elite cavalry team. It is even more impossible to achieve a slight loss in exchange for Kaga's record of killing and capturing more than 30,000 people.

Asakura Jingren angrily reprimanded and found that the effect was almost none. Uesugi Masahu pinched the rosary and sat in meditation expressionlessly, Kakizaki Keike pinched the tiger whiskers as if smiling, Saito Asanobu's gaze inadvertently swept over like a blade as sharp and cold, Honjo's arrogant glaring seemed to be silently expressing his disdain for them, Hojo Takahiro, Kurokawa Kiyomi and others were not so excessive, but there was a somewhat disdainful expression in their eyes.

Under the sneer and gaze of this group of arrogant soldiers, Asakura Keiren found that he had to find a step down for himself, and said with a dry cough: "My lord understands the urgency of eradicating Kaga like a main hall. From this day onwards, all the land occupied by the Kira family in Nomi County will belong to you, and the agreement between the two parties will still be valid, but how about redrawing the middle line here? ”

Before coming, he had already quietly observed the 30,000 elites of the Kira army, especially the 7,000 cavalry team that swept through half of Nomi County, and remembered the strong and powerful capture of the followers of the Tsuyoshi clan in Nomi County.

There is always a voice in Echizen Kunichi Valley Castle, thinking that the Echigo Kira family is nothing more than that, and the distance has nothing to do with us, but when I see it today, I know that all this is close to me. And these 30,000 people are to annihilate the 120,000 captives of Kaga Ichijo, and after invading Kaga, he will defeat the powerful army of 60,000 Kaga Ichijo. This news has not yet had time to reach Kinai, otherwise it will definitely cause an uproar, and he really can't imagine that if he recklessly offends the Kira family, he will suffer as hard as Kaga has always been.

Uesugi Masahu didn't intend to hang Asakura Keiren, and responded politely: "Genbo Sukeden should know the reason why we crossed the Tetori River, the alliance between my Ashikaga family and the Asakura family is to jointly eradicate Kaga Ichi, and then divide the territory according to their respective spheres of influence, and now my 30,000 elites will take the northern two prefectures first, and the Asakura family has not yet entered Kaga half a step, and he has launched an attack on the 60,000 troops of Sofa, if we wait for the army to move, how can we ensure the stability of the Tetori River?" ”

“…… Exactly! Asakura Keiren really didn't know how to answer, the alliance between the two sides was just a partition of Kaga Province, not a so-called unbreakable blood alliance, not even an ordinary in-law alliance, this alliance of interests was neither reliable nor stable, and it was not known when the alliance would be shelved or even terminated.

It is true that the alliance signed by the two sides is to demarcate the border by taking the river by hand, but the effect of the actual demarcation is still determined by strength, for example, if they suddenly use their strength to defeat Echizen Ichijo, and then invade Kaga and seize the four counties of Kaga and Kanazawa Gobo in one fell swoop, then they will definitely not spit out Ishikawa County and Hebei County according to the agreement, and in the same way, they cannot ask the Kira family to spit out the territory of Nomi County.

It is really difficult for him to take back the initiative in the negotiation with the alliance, and most of the shogunate signs will not be able to suppress the group of reckless men in Echigo, and maybe they will be self-defeating and tear the alliance apart, and at that time, the Kira army will attack Kaga Province in a big way, and Nomi County and Enuma County will soon fall into their hands, and the remnants of Kaga Ichishomune will become pure Echizen Ichisenmune when they push into Echizen, and they will lose more to the Kurakura family.

Seeing that Asakura Keiren had a somewhat depressed look that he wanted to speak but didn't dare to say, Uesugi Masatoshi smiled and said, "Then the Xuanfan Suke Hall can understand the reason why we attacked Nomi County, right?" In order to ensure that the shores of the Tetori River are no longer invaded by Kaga, this Wada Chaokatsuji Temple must be pulled out, so that the safety of the entire Tetori River can be guaranteed, and Motoyoshi Minato can also rest easy. ”

"Tiny ...... Seaport...... Yes, yes! We don't need it much! Asakura Keiren took this with a bitter face, and Mitsu Shichiminato's transformation into "a small harbor" left him speechless.

The Kira family is clearly unwilling to share the convenience of the Tetori River with the Asakura family, even if Asakura Keirenmei knows that this will damage the interests of the Asakura family, but he can't find a way to stop it, and the Asakura family's hand can't reach the Tetori River line in the middle of Kaga Province, and even if he stretches out, he has to weigh whether he can withstand the strong combat power of the Kira army.

This is an era when power is truth, and hard fists are hard words, not to mention that Uesugi Masatora's request is also reasonable, even if he now proposes to revise the border line and divide the power between Nomi County and Enuma County, he has no way to insist on rejecting this proposal, but if he does so, the alliance will definitely be completely broken, and he can now be sure that the Kira family will not do such an irrational act.

According to the negotiation plan originally formulated in the Ichishiri Valley, it was definitely a loss, but now it is not as good as before, when he left the Ichijo Valley, the battle had not yet begun, and the Asakura family only received the news that Kaga had always divided his troops to the north, so they urgently sent him to contact the Kira family to agree on the elimination of Kaga Ichijane and reaffirm their respective spheres of influence.

When Asakura Keiren ran to Kanazawa Gobo and found that he had pounced on the air, and then came to the front line, he found that half of Nomi County had been captured in just seven or eight days, and maybe he would really push it outside Enuma County half a month late, and he had no way to retreat as the diplomatic pursuit of the Asakura family, and the plan agreed upon in the Ichichenggu Valley was all invalid, and he had to bite the bullet and Uesugi Masahu to break the truth of the covenant, and in the end it had no effect and could only give up part of the benefits with a bitter face.

He didn't choose to delay because he wanted to avoid long nights and dreams, and in case of regeneration and chaos in Kaga Kunichu, the meaning of his existence as an envoy would be almost none, and at that time, not only would he not be able to fight for the due benefits of the Asakura family, but he would also bury such a great opportunity, so Asakura Keiren decided to sign a new agreement knowing that he would lose.

Asakura Keiren left in a hurry after receiving a not satisfactory answer, and Uesugi Masatora met with the envoy of the Kaga Ichijo sect, the Senshu Temple, which is the main mountain of the Takada sect of the Pure Land Shinshu, and its status within the Pure Land Shinshu sect is on a par with the Honganji school.

In the first year of Onin (1467), the Enryakuji Temple of Mt. Hiei named Honganji Renru as an enemy of the Buddha, causing Honganji Renru to flee to Kanta in panic, and then fled to Hokuriku for refuge after the Onin War.

As Honganji Renru was suppressed by Enryakuji Temple, Senshuji Shinhui also had to abandon the Hokuriku Province missionary and go to Ise Province Itokuta to establish Amitayus-in because of his behavior against Honganji Renru, which provoked internal suppression within the Pure Land Shinshu sect in Hokuriku Province, and then transferred Senshuji Temple to Ise Amitayus-in, and the remaining Senshu Temple remained in Kaga Province to continue to develop and gradually integrated into the Honganji sect.

The Senshu Temple Sage Association is a powerless and powerless scholarly monk within the Kaga Ichijo sect.,Usually do some copywriting work that is talented in writing.,Or go back and forth between Ishiyama Honganji Temple and Echizen Chaokatsuji Temple in Kinai.,This time it was also a helpless move to be sent over as a diplomatic envoy.,Several diplomatic monks who were originally in Kaga either died in Echichu.,Or trapped in Kanazawa Imperial Workshop as a prisoner.,Only use him as a learned monk to make do temporarily.。 (To be continued......)
