With 9,000 to 10,000, the two wings of the Sanhao Yixian Army were destroyed in less than two hours after the battle began, and more than 4,000 people were killed successively, and it was a very dazzling record to lose less than 1,000 themselves, but what should the 15,000 Sanhao Army that came from behind?

No matter how strong the Kira army is, he is also a human, not an omnipotent god, even if the gods need to rest when they create the world, not to mention that there is always a time when the flesh and blood are exhausted.

It was the scorching heat of July, the sun hanging high in the sky exuded terrible heat, as if the high temperature that burned everything evaporated the water in the body little by little, in this harsh environment fierce fighting for most of the day thirsty and tired, obviously no longer able to continue the fight, and if it continued to resist, there would definitely be a large area of losses.

"Rokkaku Sakyo has already led the army to arrive!" At this time, the samurai saw the figure of Rokkaku Yoshixian, less than a mile from the west bank of the Kamogawa River to here, and it took nearly two hours from landing to walking, which was not ordinarily strong.

General Ma Hui, who was in charge of the defense of this formation, had been standing stupidly for most of the day, and when he heard the news, he couldn't help but come over and say: "I must have seen Miyoshi Yixian start to retreat, and I want to come and pick up the cheap, right?" ”

Kira Yoshitoki glared at him and ignored this guy, and continued to give orders with a straight face: "Order all preparations to gather their troops, move closer to the main formation, and leave the source of the Katsura River to the Hexagonal Army!" Tell the Rokkaku Zuojing Hall that the front is the main force of Miyoshi Chikuzen, please be sure to withstand the attack! ”

Yamaoka was dumbfounded, and hurriedly asked, "What about us?" ”

"Eat where you are! Aren't you hungry after fighting for so long? Take out the waist you are carrying and eat it. Kira Yoshitoki angrily left the hill for a long time, and turned to the curtain behind the formation, where Chiyo Mochizuki was holding a delicate fish and rice bento. See the white flesh of the fish. Kira Yoshitoki frowned.

"I don't like to eat fish tart!"

"It's not a fish belly! Chiyonu knew that His Highness didn't like fish. Deliberately scalded with boiling water repeatedly, it is definitely different from fish belly! Your Highness, try the craftsmanship of Chiyome! Chiyo Mochizuki picked up a piece of fish and handed it to his mouth, and Kira Yoshitoki looked left and right with some embarrassment, and found that no outsider had eaten it in one bite.

"Hmm, soy sauce and vinegar, and wasabi? It's so choking! "Kira Yoshitoki didn't like wasabi very much, but he had to eat it because Japan is a country that mainly eats seafood such as fish and shrimp. Mustard has a strong detoxification function and can detoxify fish and crabs, so this dietary habit has been formed in the Middle Ages.

Chiyo Mochizuki asked expectantly, "Your Highness! Is Chiyonu's bento good? ”

"Uh...... In addition to the wasabi a little much, it is really good! ”

"Great! That's great! Chiyo Mochizuki jumped up excitedly, jumping and jumping in place and turning several times.

Hattori Koshiro appeared very inappropriately, lowered his head and said respectfully, "Lord of the Hall!" The Miyoshi Yixian Department has retreated into the main formation of the Miyoshi Army, and the Miyoshi Army has temporarily stopped attacking! ”

"Hmmm! Tell the master that the reserve team that has finished eating will go to clean up the battlefield, and the spoils of war cannot be left to the other party, and the action of the navy army should be faster. Kira Yoshitoki caught a glimpse of Koshiro Hattori. Always unconsciously turned his gaze to the little face of the Mochizuki Chiyo girl, and then said thoughtfully: "And ask your uncle to come over to see the family!" ”

"Yes!" Hattori Koshiro quietly stepped back. But in a moment, Hattori Masaaki appeared where Hattori Koshiro had stayed, and whispered, "Lord of the Hall!" ”

"Recruit back the thirty female ninjas of the Baidi and Fujilin families! Several of the sons of the chief of the security department have also reached the age when they should start a family, and after the war, Hattori Baoyuan will marry Hyakuri Kaede, Hattori Yasumasa will marry Fujibayashi Taki, and Koshiro will also serve it! How about calling Hattori Masanari? Let Koshiro and Hattori Hojun also find a family affair in the female ninja! ”

"Yes!"

"Forget about the female ninja who marries, and the rest of the female ninja will be handed over to the Chiyo Mochizuki to be in charge, and the garrison work of the family will be handed over to them in the future." Speaking of this, Kira Yoshitoki suddenly smiled at Chiyonu Mochizuki, who was nervous, and continued: "And your subordinates continue to retain the treatment of the establishment, and as the head of the family, they exercise the power to monitor the family, and they are still only responsible for the family. ”

"Yes! Your Majesty Retires! Hattori disappeared silently.

Chiyo Mochizuki looked at the vanished Hattori Masaaki, hid the short knife on her waist again, turned sideways and whispered, "This uncle's ninjutsu and infiltration are so powerful!" As soon as Chiyo Nu found him, she had already come to His Highness! ”

"Of course, he is the most powerful ninja in the Hattori family, and his ability is on par with your uncle, and he can be regarded as a strong person in the upper ninja, ...... It's good to practice for a few more years. ”

"That's amazing! Chiyonu still thinks she can protect Her Highness! Stupid Lori was smacked and shriveled.

Kira Yoshitoki comforted, "Didn't I already give you the power of the guard? Don't worry, no matter how powerful they are, you can't rest assured! ”

"Why don't you rest assured as Chiyo Nu?"

"Because you're stupid!"

"Huh? How can Chiyonu be a fool? The stupid Lori hugged her head and showed a sad expression.

……

This half-day of high-intensity fighting brought great pressure to both sides, and the Miyoshi Yoshiken Department was also defeated and almost collapsed, and the retreating soldiers were not only tired and hungry, but also experienced the heavy blow of the collapse, and their morale fell all the way to the freezing point, which was much worse than its victorious Kira army, and they were completely unable to fight again.

Miyoshi Changqing seems to be listening to Miyoshi Yoshiken's advice, and it is also possible that he saw the addition of the Hexagonal Army to pull the military strength of both sides to the same starting line, in short, this joint raid finally failed, and the original purpose of landing across the Katsura River was achieved, but the price was too heavy, so Miyoshi Changqing did not choose to continue the attack, and both sides took the opportunity to seize every minute to eat and rest.

Katsuryuji Castle is located on the southwest bank of the Katsura River, due east is the confluence of the Kamogawa River and the Kamogawa River, southwest is Mt. Tenno, beyond the Tennosan Mountain is the territory of Settsu Province, which has always been an important fortress to guard the entrance and exit of the mountain castle country, and the castle tower of Katsuryuji Castle can clearly overlook the ships coming and going on the Yodo River, and after falling into the hands of the Miyoshi family, he also became the point of surveillance and threat to the southern line of Katsura River and Kyoto, and at this time the city fell into the hands of the Miyoshi family.

Because of Kira's strong performance. An astonishing record of 1,000 for 4,000. Let the legend spread in the Miyoshi family that the Kira Army is blessed by the gods. How brave and good the warriors of the three rivers are, the sophistication of the weapons and armor is beyond imagination, this greatly shocked the warriors of the Miyoshi family, thousands of the three rivers samurai wearing the same red and black system, like a sharp knife easily cut through the strict military formation, this must be the gods and Buddhas bless the Kira family.

"What a rumor! What's going on underneath? Why are there always unfavorable rumors? Find out who's spreading rumors! Miyoshi Changqing angrily sent away the retainers, rubbing his sour eyes and closing his eyes to recuperate, only when his brother was alone with him. will show a tired posture.

"It's hard! It's really too difficult......" sighed as if telling the bitterness of many years: "Do you remember the vow we four brothers made at the beginning? ”

Reminiscing about his youthful youth, Miyoshi Yoshixian's face showed a sad look: "Remember! How could I forget! Avenge your father! This was our original ambition, and it was also the beginning of my brother's defection to the Hosokawa family......"

"What are we working so hard for? For the sake of fame and fortune, power? We already have these, and there are many honors for the supreme ministers, what else do we need to ask for? Isn't it just for the century-old foundation of our Miyoshi family? The Hosokawa family is poor and weak, and the situation of the heroes in Kinai is no longer fighting, isn't this a good opportunity for the gods and Buddhas to give me the three good families? Miyoshi Changqing's eyes were deep, and his tone was a little more passionate.

"Yes! If you don't take it, you will be blamed! This is a great opportunity for my Miyoshi family, but it's a pity that Shiro died...... Otherwise, the four of us brothers will get together. Who else can stop us? ”

"Once I was killed, I Changqing has always remembered it! This time, he defeated the Kira army and captured Kira Yoshishi alive and was imprisoned in the temple. Let him spend his life repenting for the Salvation! Miyoshi Changqing sneered, and after a while, he said, "Let's talk about the situation of this Kira army!" ”

Miyoshi Yoshixian calmly analyzed: "Yes, brother! The quality of the Kira army is no less than that of the four countries in this formation, and it is well-equipped, especially that special army, which is very strong in terms of morale and combat power, which is completely different from the information transmitted back two years ago, but it is not clear what has changed in the past two years? ”

"Humph! After two years of losing so many people and still not being able to find useful information, those bastards are really useless! ”

Miyoshi Nagakei can dismiss the Kira family, but the changes in the retainers cannot be ignored, a small rumor is likely to cause a riot, and at the same time, the opinion of Miyoshi Yoshiken must be taken seriously, and in his description he learns that the Kira army has a legion with normal equipment, and there is also a legion with very terrible equipment, whether it is a powerful iron cannon, a strong bow, or an attack by javelins and cavalry are unheard of.

This kind of tactics is not any of the tactics that remains now, which Miyoshi Yoshiken is very sure of, such an elite army is probably only the legendary Mongolian army, which makes him have to suspect that this is a legion composed of samurai, but three thousand samurai form a legion? This is simply incredible, there are only a few thousand samurai in Mikawa Country! This is obviously not logical, and at this time, Miyoshi Changqing also realized that he was a little contemptuous of this milky child.

Miyoshi Changqing is thinking about another question, Miyoshi Yoshixian's defeat is not that he has no way to command the army or his subordinates are incompetent, his command ability and royal means are the best choice in the family, but he still failed to hold out for two hours with superior forces, which shows how terrible the attack power of this legion is, and if he can defeat the two wings of Miyoshi Yoshixian, he can also defeat the two wings of Miyoshi Changqing, of course he understands.

So the question arises, what to do with the powerful Kira army? He now only has 21,000 troops in his hands, and there are still more than 7,000 Kira troops on the opposite side, and there are 13,000 troops of the Hexagonal Army.

But Kyoto was in front of him, he was unwilling to retreat like this, and the two sides threw rat traps for their own reasons, and no one was willing to rush to do it, so it was a stalemate.

Just after the afternoon, there was a bad news from the Miyoshi family, the Kira Navy blocked the Katsura River, and dispersed all the Miyoshi family's transfer soldiers and military rations, and the iron cannon bombardment in the morning was an attack from the Kira Army, so that the back road of the Miyoshi family was cut off, and the only way to retreat was to enter Tamba along the Katsura River.

This was a very big blow to the morale of the Miyoshi army, and the logistical pressure was magnified in an instant, even if he still had 20,000 stones in his hand, according to the rhythm of the fierce battle, he could only support it for less than two months, but he couldn't return to his hometown after guarding Kyoto for two months, what kind of consequences would this have? What about the autumn harvest? If the war ended before the autumn harvest, but if it ended in two months, the samurai of Shikoku would not be willing to do so.

"Lord, go out! As long as you defeat the Kira army, you can make peace with the shogunate, right? ”

"If you can't make peace with the shogunate now, right? The loss of the people on the other side must be very large, and the proposal of harmony must be acceptable to them! ”

"Bastard! What stupid words are you talking about! The family has an army of 30,000, and Tanba has an army of 15,000 to support! Don't worry about grain and grass, just collect it from Tanba! ”

"You're the bastard! Can the people of Tanba be willing to pay for food and grass? ”

"Why can't you pay for food and grass? That's the condition of their submission! (To be continued......)
