Chapter 211: Post-War Collegiate
"Bastard! Damn the Kira family! I, Changqing, are inseparable from you! "Miyoshi Changqing's eyes seem to be on fire, the samurai of the four countries are dying in front of him, how can the battle of the complete collapse of the right wing be fought? But he can't stop anymore, and once he retreats, it may be a rout of the whole army!
Miyoshi Changqing immediately ordered: "Let the royal horses go out of battle!" Be sure to destroy the team that threw the jade! ”
"Grenadier back!" Yamaoka Chang led the horses to bypass the grenadiers, dropped a sentence and began to assault, and killed several waves of soldiers in succession to meet the Miyoshi Changqing's Imperial Horse Crowd, and Yamaoka Chang shouted: "Scatter the stars!" Ride and shoot! ”
Suddenly, two hundred horses scattered in all directions, facing twice as many of their own Miyoshi Imperial Horse Roundabouts, they seemed very confident, bent bows and buckle arrows one by one cast iron feather arrows out of the string, arbitrarily shot the elite troops of the Miyoshi family, Matsuyama Shinsuke took the Imperial Horse Crowd to try to assault, but was shot through the face by a sharp arrow that came head-on, and fell off the horse and died on the spot.
When the horses of the Kira family used the flowing horses to play with the enemy, the situation of the war also showed new changes, and this change did not come from the superior forces of the Rokkaku Yoshiken, because the 13,000 people he led were still fighting with more than 5,000 Miyoshi troops, and the Rokkaku family fought unhurriedly, and the Miyoshi family did not defend lightly, and the two sides seemed to have a tacit understanding.
The new change is another Miyoshi army that crossed the river, the straw bag Miyoshi Changyi was defeated again, this time he was defeated by a thousand Kira water army, knowing that the waterway was controlled, Miyoshi Changyi still tried to gamble on the probability of crossing the river, but he definitely didn't look at the yellow calendar when he went out today, and unfortunately hit the bad luck and lost again.
Miyoshi Nagayi has just landed on the north bank of the Katsura River with 1,500 forwards. was blocked by the trailing Kira water army. The Kira Navy is under the command of the Nine Demons. A few rounds of iron cannon fire dispersed the Miyoshi family ships that were still transporting on the Katsura River, and the only encircling force was the twenty Kozai, which were all wiped out by the Kira naval army, and a body of armor was sent into an iron coffin and sent into the water to feed the fish.
The Miyoshi army, which had not yet crossed the river, turned around and returned to Katsuryuji Castle, and Miyoshi Nagaitsu could only resist the Kira water army with this fifliring fifteen-hundred-hundred-strong army, and his efforts were wiped out by several rounds of iron cannon volleys, and then the terrible lethality of the roasted jade explosion recalled the terrible memories of two years ago, and Miyoshi Nagaitsu abandoned his army and turned around and fled towards Kyoto. As soon as the main general ran this army, it became a broiler, and was easily defeated and surrendered by the landing Kira water army, and Miyoshi Nagayi was captured before he could touch the edge of Kyoto.
The news came to the Kira army with great encouragement, and then the samurai of the Kira Navy carried the Miyoshi Nagayi flag seal and waved, and even Hosokawa Harumoto, who was hiding in Funaokama, finally had the courage to kill, although he was quickly reacted and defeated by Miyoshi Nagakei, but his troublemaking also brought a lot of pressure to the array of the Miyoshi army.
Mikawabei's Chibei cavalry made a decisive assault, this time still harvesting from the flanks, relying on a combination of large guns, scimitars, and weapons from near and far. It seems that it is really harvesting crops, which is a great deterrent to the Miyoshi Army. The five hundred people collapsed four times in a row, until they burst into front of the Miyoshi Changqing main formation, and at this time, the Miyoshi samurai from all directions rushed over like crazy, and Chibei only had this one chance.
Takigawa Shiyi shouted, and the Zhu spear danced to cut several Miyoshi samurai in two, and then shouted: "Left near!" Shoot Sanzuki! ”
"Yes!" Shima Shikatsu had been staring at the main formation of the Miyoshi family, and suddenly he had an excellent angle, and immediately reined in his mount and bent the bow and buckled the arrow to aim, and in an instant, the flying arrow flew out with a sharp whistling sound, crossed a distance of a hundred meters, and rushed into the main formation of the Miyoshi army at an extremely tricky angle.
"Protect the lord!" Miyoshi Changqing's brother-in-law Onishi Raimu roared, pushed away the stunned Miyoshi Changqing, and the next moment the fatal arrow drilled into his chest, and the huge penetrating power directly pierced the armor and drilled into the viscera, Onishi Raiwu fell on his back without even saying a word.
"Almost! It's just a little bit! Shima Shikatsu clenched his fist and hammered it the saddle, and Takigawa Tokiyoshi shouted loudly: "Left near!" Fall back! If you don't withdraw, it's too late! ”
"Understood!" Shima Shikatsu took one last glance at the chaotic main formation of the Miyoshi Army, and had to reluctantly turn over and retreat, at this time the road back had been completely blocked, but this was not a problem for Chibei at all, not to mention that they had already heard the whistle of the horses, which was a signal for their companions to answer.
"Assault! Pick up the red bei! "Yamaoka took the horses around in a half circle and entered the Miyoshi army, the Miyoshi Imperial Horse Gang just now was a soft-footed shrimp, and suddenly retreated without looking back in the middle of the fight, leaving more than a hundred corpses behind, if it weren't for the whistle on Chibei's side for help, he would definitely take the horses to continue the pursuit.
The army of the Miyoshi family was about to be successfully encircled, and finally it was re-killed by the Ma Hui Zhong and the Chibei cavalry, killing hundreds of the Miyoshi army between this advance and retreat, and defeating several main forces of the Miyoshi Army, 80 people were killed in the Chibei battle, and 15 people were killed in the Ma Hui Zhong, which was only brilliant and jaw-dropping.
But when the battle reached this point, both the Miyoshi family and the Kira family were no longer able to fight, and the cavalry team and the horse warriors were sweating with high-intensity assaults one after another, and the horses' physical strength was overdrawn, Mikawa Bei began to retreat, and the right flank Otsu and Katata were also gathering their troops.
At this time, the hexagonal yoshiken also saw the opportunity to start a fierce attack, but his strength was a little late, after half a day of exhaustion, the sharpness of the hexagonal army has disappeared, and the strength can not break out again, but it is only laborious to repel the five thousand troops of Miyoshi Yoshiken to kill hundreds of people, and then seek to continue to expand the results of the battle when the Miyoshi family has begun to retreat.
Miyoshi Yixian with 4,000 remnants and Miyoshi Changqing converged, the joint battle to this extent must not be able to fight again, the right wing was destroyed, the middle road was defeated, only the left side still retained a main force, a little calculation actually killed more than 4,000 people, the visual inspection of the severely disabled and lost combat power is also a lot, more than half of the army is wounded, even if there is the heart to fight again, there is no power to return to the sky.
When the Miyoshi Army slowly retreated to the upper reaches of the Katsura River, the Kira Army roared with joy: "The Miyoshi Army has retreated!" We won! ”
"We won! We won! The ashigaru men cried and laughed together, and the samurai threw down their weapons and sat on the grass littered with devastated corpses, they were really tired. Only now did I realize that my legs were as heavy as lead. There are many more samurai like this. The Kira army, who was walking on the battlefield, finally relaxed.
At this time, the envoy made another cameo appearance in the army, and shouted loudly: "Get up!" Don't sit down! Hurry up and count the battle damage and the number of people killed, and the captured armor will be handed in in turn! Hurry up! That's all the money you can get! Don't let the hexagon bastards take advantage of it! ”
"That's right! Can't let the hexagonal family pick up the cheap! The samurai hurriedly got up and beckoned the ashigaru to pack up their loot.
After the war, the statistics soon came out, and the Omi Sibei lost 2,200 dead in the battle, more than 1,500 were disabled or incapacitated, and the army of 6,000 lost more than half of its combat strength, and every survivor was wounded. The lightest one is also hung with dots, which shows how tragic the battle was.
Mikawa was prepared to die five hundred, basically not seriously disabled, but there were many minor injuries, this is still the most elite strength of the Kira family, the battle death rate is as high as one-sixth, if it is not for professional training and the protection of armor, the Kira army can win this battle The possibility is very small, I am afraid that the number of dead will double, and it will not be able to hold on to the retreat of the Miyoshi family. It is likely that the entire army will be annihilated between the sources of the river on the north bank of the Katsura River.
At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and the Kira army began to clean the battlefield, rescue the surviving partners, and mend the swords to the surviving ones of the opponent one by one. The doctor from Kyoto was busy boiling water to treat the wounded soldiers, and Kira Yoshitoki soon received the news that the Tanba people were besieging Yagi Castle, and Tanba's grain route was cut off, and there was also this reason why the Miyoshi army would retreat so quickly.
After statistics, the Miyoshi family left a total of more than 5,000 corpses, of which more than 1,000 died under the iron hooves of Ma Hui and Chibei, but unfortunately both sides have exhausted their strength, if either side still has the strength to pursue, it is very likely to evolve into a collapse, but this possibility will never exist.
Miyoshi Nagakei did not rush back to Tanba, but returned to the camp to continue stationing, both sides knew that it was impossible to fight below, the Kira army was killed as high as forty percent, and the Miyoshi army was also killed nearly thirty percent, and the worst thing was to cut off the back road, and there was Kira in front of him, and the coalition army of the six corners blocked the way, and the dream of Kamilo to seize Kyoto came to an end.
With the advantage of capturing Miyoshi Nagayi and more than a thousand Miyoshi family troops, it was enough to make Miyoshi Nagakei throw a mouse, and at the same time, the imperial court in Kyoto also began to move, Kira Yoshitoki's brother-in-law, brother-in-law, future brother-in-law, right minister Konoe Haruhi appeared in the Kira army camp at this time, and the first thing he said when he came over was to congratulate Kira Yoshitoki on his victory over Mitsuki.
Then Konoe Harusu said: "Mitsuki has agreed to make peace, and he promised not to oppose the shogunate again!" ”
"How many years does Mitsuki's promise last?" Kira sneered.
"It's not for you and me to worry about this! It's a blessing to be able to get along! Konoe Haruki shook his head and smiled, and said, "You better think about yourself first!" In the past few days, there have been three battles in a row, first breaking Naito Zongsheng 15,000, then breaking Sanhao Yixian 10,000, and today breaking Sanzhu 16,000, it won't be long before your martial name will spread all over the world! ”
Kira Yoshishi smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Yi saw that my camp was full of injuries, right?" This is a hundred battle elites piled up with real money, and nearly 3,000 people were killed in battle, which is really a big injury! ”
"For the sake of the shogunate, there is always something to pay!" Konoe Harusu comforted: "Please believe in the shogunate and the imperial court, and will give you a fair treatment." ”
"I hope so!"
In the following days, the two sides confronted each other, although the samurai had a strong smell of gunpowder, but the top leaders of both sides already knew that the joint war could not be fought, so under the full mediation of the right minister Konoe Harusei, Miyoshi Chokei and the shogunate reached a peace, and the conditions for the peace were that the dominance of Yamashiro Province was owned by the shogunate, Katsuryuji Castle was returned to the shogunate, and the Miyoshi army fully withdrew from Yamashiro Province.
At the same time, Miyoshi Nagakei also took a step back and gave up the Hosokawa clan, but the premise was to let Hosokawa Harumoto abdicate and enter the Settsu country to live in seclusion, and the Hosokawa clan became the new shogunate, and Miyoshi Nagakei continued to sit in Akutagawa Mountain Castle as the leader of the leader, of course, this is just a famous leader, and he can only follow Miyoshi Nagakei to continue to be a light pole commander in Akutagawa Mountain Castle.
It seems that this condition is very harsh, and there is not even any substantial concession, but in fact, Miyoshi Nagakei only legalized the territory he obtained, and the control of Yamashiro Province and Kyoto was fully recognized by Miyoshi Nagakei, which is equivalent to the two sides drawing an actual demarcation line, and the Yamashiro country of the shogunate is guaranteed, and the Miyoshi family is sure that there will be no conflict with the shogunate again in a few years.
It's just that Hekkaku Yixian is a little unhappy, he originally wanted to inherit his father's position and continue to be the leader of the stewardship, but now he is abolished, but he doesn't want to think about it. Just by his poor performance in the battle of Katsurakawa. Can Ashikaga Yoshito be relieved to let him be the leader of the stewardship? There is no battle when Kira Yoshitoshi fights. This collegial agreement may have been replaced by the result of he, the shogunate, once again escaping from Kyoto in a humiliated manner.
First of all, he redeemed the defeated 3,500 captives at a sky-high price of 30,000 kan, as well as the wounded Naito Munekatsu and the "repeatedly defeated general" Miyoshi Nagaitsu, and at the same time took out 3,000 kan and 1,500 kan respectively to the shogunate and the imperial court.
The official position of Miyoshi Changqing was promoted to the fourth lower repair doctor, and Miyoshi Yixian also got his wish and obtained the official position of the fifth lower Feng Qianshou. The two of them were confirmed by the main room as the Shogunate's royal companions and royal offerings, and they really had a meal in the same room as Ashikaga Yoshito, of course, that meal must have been very unpleasant, and afterwards Ashikaga Yoshito was still fiercely angry before stopping.
In order to assert his influence, Miyoshi Nagakei also took Miyoshi Yoshiken and his ministers to visit the Toji Temple and Daitokuji Temple in Kyoto for three days during the peace negotiations, and only after all the issues were over, did he take an army of 15,000 and swaggered through the Katsura River to return to Settsu Province, and Kira Yoshitoki also withdrew to Sakamoto with the remnants of the army, while he himself was left in Kyoto.
When he saw Ashikaga Yoshito in the Nijo Imperial Palace, he was in a very good mood at this time. He said to Kira Yoshitoki: "Hosokawa Kyosho was claustrophobic in Fumonji Temple in Settsu Province, and his wife was also taken away by the Miyoshi family and claustrophobic. The long-planned ploy is finally working! What a joy! Hahaha......"
In addition to Hosokawa Senimaru, who was strongly requested by the Hosokawa family to be placed in Kyoto, Hosokawa Harumoto and his family were escorted to the claustrophobic temple in Settsu Province, this time it was the shogunate and Miyoshi Nagakei who teamed up to pit Hosokawa Harumoto, and he was taken away from the Nijo Imperial Palace without even having a chance to react, and the monks in the Pumen Temple were all monks brought from Awa Province, and they would be responsible for ensuring that Hosokawa Harumoto was healthy and alive, and would never be able to leave this temple.
"That's really good news!" Yoshitoki Kira and Ashikaga Yoshito looked at each other and smiled, both of them were very satisfied with the situation, Hosokawa Harumoto was claustrophobic as expected, and Rokkaku Yoshiken must be angry at this time!
He is stealing chickens and rice, thinking that he can kill Ji Liang Yoshishi when he releases water, and he also sells it to Miyoshi's family by the way, but he didn't expect Ji Liang Yoshishi not only not to die, but because of this war and completely famous, the three battles can be called classics, plus the outpost battle of the Awaji Water Army, the battle of capturing Miyoshi Changyi alive, the glory is enough to go down in history.
Now many ministers in the imperial court, as well as many merchants in Kyoto, Sakai Town, and Sakamoto, have quickly spread the results of this war to the whole of Japan, the villain of the war is naturally Miyoshi Changkei, and the other harlequin is Sasaki Rokkaku Yoshiken, from Kamogawa to Katsura River for two hours, 13,000 troops against Miyoshi Yoshiken 5,000 troops for half a day without defeat.
The reputation of the hexagonal family is also very bad, and the son-in-law of the dignified leader of the hexagonal Dinglai has such a clumsy performance, and is even suspected of being a good family, so he also bears the reputation of "dark foolishness", presumably he must regret it to death now.
The damage to his reputation is still secondary, and the most unacceptable thing for Rokkaku Yoshiken is that his sister and brother-in-law are confined by Miyoshi Changkei, and it is the kind that will be locked up for a lifetime.
And Rokkaku Yoshiken has had a good relationship with his sister since he was a child, watching his sister and brother-in-law being pulled away and locked up by Miyoshi Changqing, Rokkaku Yoshixian's anger when he left, in order to redeem his dishonor, and also to rescue his sister and brother-in-law, Rokkaku Yoshiken vowed in front of his father's spirit that day to be inseparable from the Miyoshi family.
The retainers of the Rokkaku family are also surprisingly united this time, and they also instigated the Rokkaku Yoshiken Pit Kira family, the original intention was to kill Kira to swallow the two counties of Shiga and Takashima, which had been red for a long time, and if the Kira family was destroyed on the spot, who would know the inside story?
It's a pity that they also have to pay the price for this crooked idea, the hexagonal righteous sages bear the reputation of dishonor, and their own reputation is not much better, as a retainer who can't speak out and be loyal is incompetent, and letting the 13,000 hexagonal army do nothing against 5,000 people is dereliction of duty, according to the contemporary universal values, they can apologize.
But who wants to die in this thought, except for the stupid seppuku of a few retainers, more retainers still stretch their necks and want to live longer, and they also find a seemingly upright reason for themselves: "At least wash away the shame and then judge yourself, otherwise wouldn't it be more senseless to die in humiliation." ”
Not to mention how cheeky the retainers of the Rokkaku family are, in short, the retainers of the Rokkaku family are unprecedentedly united around the Rokkaku family with Rokkaku Yoshiken as the core, and strive to do their best to avenge Rokkaku Yoshigen, for this reason they don't mind going to war with Miyoshi Changkei, can't they run if they can't fight, and the reckless mountains in Koga County are also the "Sakamoto Imperial Palace" of the Rokkaku family.
Just like the Ashikaga family raised the tradition of escaping, the Rokkaku family also has a tradition of escaping, Rokkaku Yoshiken's grandfather Rokkaku Takayori was a Rokkaku Ran in the early Warring States period, and was driven to Koga's mountain nest to hide twice by the Ashikaga Yoshisho and Ashikaga Yoshisai brothers, Miyoshi Chokei can be more powerful than two generations of shoguns?
Besides, what are the retainers of the Hexagonal family afraid of, if you want to lose, it will be his Hexagonal family who loses, and the Miyoshi family will fight and surrender, and if Miyoshi Changqing wants to mix up, he must pinch his nose and admit it, so the retainers gathered together to jointly oppose the Miyoshi family are also completely stressful. (To be continued......)
