Chapter 0388. The midfield is medie, and the Eastern Army...
On the head, the snowflakes were still falling colorfully, but as soon as they fell to the ground, they were immediately rendered into muddy blood, and there was the sound of swords hitting each other everywhere, and wave after wave of the eastern army shouted the trumpet to attack the western army camp in turn, rushing endlessly, and it was always cruel to fight each other. {This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.]
Even if the comrades-in-arms in front of them fell one after another under the swords of the Western Army, this time the Eastern Army's will to fight is still extremely strong, and the edict of "Dahua Reform" has been officially promulgated, those who fight bravely can be given priority to get the good land of Bantian, the good and cheap system is established, and those with great military merits can become good people, and even take up newly established official positions, and the people who have been oppressed for hundreds of years are almost fatal.
However, enthusiasm is enthusiasm, the gap in strength is still obvious, the lack of metal to build weapons, most of the Eastern Army uses short spears, a piece of hardwood to install a small spear head is over, armor is not even more, in the face of the Western Army's sharp long knife, hard bamboo armor, either the spearhead is cut off and the person is killed, or it is not easy to stab, the spearhead is stuck in the bamboo, often pay five or six lives, in order to kill a Western army.
The only advantage of the Eastern Army, there are many people! Wave after wave of rubble carrying wooden shields to block trebuchets attacked the Upper West military barracks, like the endless tide of the sea, constantly slapping against the reef on the shore, never stopping.
The brutal white-knuckle battle lasted until the evening, when the sun set, the Zhongchen Kamazu ordered the golden bell to be rang properly, which allowed the Eastern Army, which had been attacking for a day, to withdraw back, and in the camp of the Eastern Army, one by one the Eastern Army warriors, the officers were still shouting excitedly: "We won, and the West Guys who fought can't raise their heads!" ”
I don't know the other side, seeing the retreat of the Eastern Army, the daimyo and samurai also laughed proudly.
"Let's get out!"
"A group of hillbillies, let the master call home!"
As the sun set, the bloody day finally ended, thousands of corpses were still left on the snow on the huge Sekigahara battlefield, and the red gourd team of the Western Army slowly collected the frozen samurai corpses with white lanterns, while on the other hand, the Eastern Army was indifferent to the corpses left on the battlefield.
After a hard day, the two armies were already hungry, the western army was still fish and rice porridge, slightly added some green pickles, and the faint fragrance wafted out far away, on the other hand, in the camp of the Eastern Army, spent the initial excitement, but the quartermaster issued down the cold and rancid rice balls, looking at the rice balls in their hands, and then smelling the fragrance wafting in the distance, the soldiers of the Eastern Army couldn't get excited.
Western Army, the commander of the big tent.
"Meet the general, King Min!"
A human head was contributed to the front, Uesugi Kenshin took the lead, Takeda Shingen and others accompanied behind, kneeling neatly on the ground, taking a seat, whether Li Jie or Li You are smiling, today's battle results are really very good, beheading the enemy's general Zhengyi, no matter how many people die, the meaning of the Western Army is winning.
"Uesugi Daimyo today beheaded the rebel general, great merit to the imperial court, today he added 100,000 stone territory, he defeated the rebel thief one day, and was crowned as Owari Mamoru to commend him."
"Thank you, General!" Under the envious gaze of the nobles, Uesugi Kenshin was still so calm, kneeling on one knee and bowing his head in thanks, and the look of pampering and not being shocked made Li You nod again.
"Fighting for the imperial court, General Ben and His Majesty the Emperor will not hesitate to reward them! Encourage you. ”
"Thank you, General!"
After another military salute, the daimyo and the generals slowly dispersed, and they were busy pacifying the army, they were still hungry, and the generals walked cleanly, and the heads were also put away from the people, and they were taken to embalm and sent to the Asuka court to report their merits.
As the main general, of course, the food is better, two large bowls of venison and fish ball ramen were brought in, and the pale white soup noodles were filled with a faint aroma, Li Jie was full of appetite, and immediately brought the big bowl to the front, and he didn't want to wait to eat, and the bamboo chopsticks knocked on his wrist.
"Hey, what's the matter?" Dropping his chopsticks and rubbing his wrists, Li Jie yelled dissatisfiedly, but in the face of him, Li You hung his head silently, and after a while, he asked gloomily: "Lao Jiu, you have already seen the cavalry ambushed by the Eastern Army?" ”
Today's battle counts the samurai killed by the Uesugi army, the western army has lost more than 3,000 casualties, of which more than 1,000 large bow samurai were lost in that cavalry charge, if it was not suddenly disrupted, the western army would not have fallen into a bitter battle, thousands of casualties, since that morning, this problem has been boring Li You for a day.
was stunned by the question, Li Jie suddenly lost his appetite, threw the bowl aside, and let out a long sigh of emotion, this demeanor made Li You panic.
"Lao Jiu, I'm not blaming you, but, for what, can't you give me a reason?"
"Not then, but now."
Reaching out to bring the two bowls of noodles to him, Li Jie grabbed the two chopsticks and placed them on both sides, picked up a bowl of noodles, took a few big bites, and put it back.
"This is us, less people and more food, this bowl is the Eastern Army, there are more people and less food, eager to fight quickly, if there is a big victory on the first day, so that the Eastern Army has no hope of breaking our hope, he will not honestly stay in Sekigahara to confront us, the terrain of the country is long and narrow, whether he is from Echizen, or go to Owari, it is a trouble for us! The sacrifice will definitely be greater than now! ”
Pointing to the chopsticks placed on both sides, Li Jie immediately sighed with emotion, and the chopsticks knocked on the edge of the bowl and sighed: "Now I understand a little bit why Li Jing put our troops in the Chengxiling position that day, if you don't pay a certain sacrifice ruthlessly, you won't be able to achieve victory!" Today's archers are like this, they still need to sacrifice tomorrow, and they will need to do so in the future, but the boss can't say this to his subordinates, so he can only hold it in his heart. ”
"Alas~"
With a faint sigh, Li Jie picked up the noodle bowl and went out. also knew the painful memory of Li Jie's battle in Chengxiling, Li You also nodded with emotion, and after a while, Li You was cold and excited, and roared angrily with the ramen bowl that was drenched in more than half of the soup that Li Jie had eaten: "Give me back the noodles!! ”
In the next few days, the battle situation of the Battle of Sekigahara became more intense, every day was a scale of 100,000 and 100,000, the Eastern Army violently attacked the positions of the two brothers Li Jie from all angles, and the daily shouts soared into the sky, countless long swords crossed over the heads of the two armies, and the blood flowing from Jiongjiong stained the square kilometer of land in the middle of Guanyuan with blood red.
After paying more than 20,000 lives, the Western Army was pressed back more than two miles away, and the crescent moon of the camp extended to the western valley of Bubashi Pass, as if it was about to be completely defeated at any time.
However, no matter how much effort was put in by the Nakatomi Kamazu, the Western Army, which seemed to be about to collapse at any time, could always grit a string and jump down, and the battle went on to the fifth day, and the uncontrollable Nakachen Kamazu forced the Baekje cavalry out to trap once, but still did not make a contribution in one fell swoop, and the battle lasted until the eighth day, and the Western Army did not take a step back, and the outcome of the battle seemed to be far away.
Another day of fierce fighting ended, nearly 100,000 Eastern troops were full of fatigue and slowly retreated to the rear, and the samurai of the Western Army were directly unable to sit on the ground, even if they were full of passion for the land, the fierce battle for many days would wear out the passion, and the offensive of the Eastern Army became more and more weak, and the Western Army was the same.
Li You, who had been in command outside for a day, staggered back to the Chinese army tent with his tired body, just in time to see Li Jie frowning and sitting in front of the map and constantly thinking, dropping his big helmet, Li You couldn't help but blame him with resentment.
"Lao Jiu, you ran away in the middle of the fight today, don't tell me anything to the elder brother Who is the shogunate, I said it before attacking the Wa Kingdom, the Qi Wangfu and the Min Wangfu have equal power in the Wa Kingdom, you can't use the old brother and me as coolies!"
Li You poured bitter water, but Li Jie stretched out his hand impatiently to interrupt him, still staring at the map with a frown, pointing his finger at Honshu Island left and right and muttering: "It's too weird!" ”
"Fifth brother, is there any news about the fleet you have arranged in the East China Sea?"
"Nothing out of the ordinary, huh?" With a blank face, Li You spread his hands, and Li Jie, who listened, frowned even more.
"Lao Jiu, what's wrong?" Playing dumb riddles is what Li You can't stand the most, covering his head, General Zhengyi patted the table depressedly and shouted, while thinking, Li Jie simply snapped his fingers impatiently, and there was a strange man in the corner of the cold tent who was wrapped in a black night suit and only showed two eyes.
"In the lower Hattori Hanzo, see the Great General."
Startled, Li You circled around Hattori Hanzo twice with some novelty, and then asked curiously: "What does King Min want you to tell me?" ”
"The food of the Eastern Army is about to run out, and the warm clothing is even more insufficient, and it is estimated that it will not be able to support it for a few days!"
That's right, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the Eastern Army, which is thrown aside every morning and freezes to death, is about to catch up with the battle damage, how do you hear that this is a good thing, Li You couldn't help but knock on the table curiously again, and asked suspiciously: "Lao Jiu, isn't this a good thing?" ”
"The Eastern Army has no fighting spirit, on the fifth day, Nakatomi Kamazu dispatched the Baekje cavalry to attack recklessly just to confirm whether we can break our battle formation, Nakatomi Kamazu has already reached a conclusion at the end of the battle on that day, Mino Country is a strong city, whether it is the Celestial Wisdom Pseudo Emperor or Nakatomi Kamazu is not an idiot, he does not retreat to Mino, what are you doing with us in Sekigahara?"
"Uh, this?"
"Nakatoshi's Kamazu must have a trick!" In Li You's open mouth, Li Jie patted the table and said affirmatively, the door of this kung fu was suddenly lifted, Zhang Ergou was quite anxious and knelt on one knee, and supported his chest with his right fist and said: "General, prince, the scout is here to report, there is an unknown enemy on the back road of our army, and he has attacked the supply convoy!" ”
"How is that possible?"
Li You stood up in shock, but a hint of understanding flashed in Li Jie's eyes.
