Chapter 419: The Worries of the Great Fox

Violent overage pseudo-Lori walked to the knife stand at the back of the main hall, grabbed a rib difference, threw it in front of Rokkaku Yoshiji, and ordered him to commit suicide by cutting his abdomen. It's a pity that the other party seems to have lost his soul and is indifferent at all.

"Dadian, I'm afraid this guy is already scared stupid!" The monkey Kinoshita Toyoshiro looked left and right at Rokkaku Yoshiji, and finally came to such a conclusion.

"Huh, scared silly? Katsuka, pull this coward out and let the lowest-level Ashigaru stab to death! To kill such a person is simply a sword that insults our samurai. After hearing this, the violent overage pseudo-Lori suddenly had a bad breath in her heart.

That night, the violent overage pseudo-Lori used Kannonji Castle as her temporary overnight stay, and prepared to move her main camp to Yamashiro Province, where Heiankyo was located, at around 9 a.m. on April 16, the next morning.

After a day and a night of attacking, Wang Tianxie had already conquered the three outer cities of Kesaku Castle, Hino Castle, and Wada Mountain Castle, and also took the nine castles of Ichiyo Castle, Zensho Castle, Sabu Castle, Catoe Castle, Shoushan Castle, Kusatsu Castle, Ishibe Castle, Mizuguchi Castle, and Ikari Castle.

There are a total of 18 castles in the main castle of Minami Omi Province, and 13 castles have already fallen into the hands of the Oda family.

To be able to get such amazing results, in fact, it depends on the fact that each army formation in the super-large joint battle complements each other.

Wang Tianxie took less than two hours to break through Keizuo Castle, which played the most critical role and directly destroyed the garrison morale of the main city Guanyin Temple City.

Subsequently, he quickly captured Hino Castle, and directly inspired the vanguard of the Oda Army and the main camp that were attacking the main city of Kannonji Castle.

The fall of Guanyin Temple City and the death of Rokkaku Yoshixian, Rokkaku Yoshiji's father and son also provided an advantage for Wang Tianxie's next siege battle.

Especially when the violent overage pseudo-Lori sent someone to send the head of the hexagonal Yizhi to Wang Tianxie with a fast horse, the speed at which Wang Tianxie broke the city can be said to be even faster.

Of the nine castles of Ichio Castle, Seisho Castle, Sayu Castle, Akee Castle, Moriyama Castle, Kusatsu Castle, Ishibe Castle, Mizuguchi Castle, and Ikatatsu Castle, only Ishibe Castle and Mizuguchi Castle are due to the fact that the lord of the castle is a member of the Rokkaku family. Therefore, it took a lot of time to conduct siege warfare.

Hawkers, that is, it took about three hours, after all, although the guards of these two cities are members of the Hexagonal family, neither their status nor identity can compare to the Hexagonal Yoshiken who is the former head of the family. Naturally, the castle they lived in would not be more impregnable than Kesaku Castle.

As for the remaining seven cities, they surrendered almost bloodlessly.

In fact, this is also very understandable, these cities are guarded by small local wealthy families. And the first target of the Oda army's attack was the Rokkaku, the top boss of the small wealthy families in these places.

With the fall of the Hexagonal family, the trumpet group in these places naturally has no object to serve. In addition, Gamo Xianxiu, who has a big wealthy family, assisted in persuading him to surrender, how can these small wealthy families who have no backbone not surrender.

Besides, surrender does not mean a disgrace, it is just a change of boss. Just like the people in Wang Tianxie's previous life, who really killed a job since graduation, and has been working in that company for more than 40 years. Until retirement?

Well, it is undeniable that there are such people who are loyal to the company, but they are usually from the older generation.

People born in the 80s of the 20th century, and even people born in the 70s, I am afraid that there are very few people who can dedicate their youth to a company in this way.

Therefore, when these local small tycoons recognized the reality, they directly opened the city and surrendered. I accepted the maintenance of the Oda Army.

Violent overage pseudo-Lori is also very lenient to these generals.,After all, there are only so many people in the Oda family.。 If the Oda family really wanted to manage the territory of two and a half countries independently, it would only be a fool's dream.

It was the evening of April 17 when the violent overage pseudo-Lori arrived across Lake Biwa and came to the border of Omi Province, which is adjacent to Yamashiro Province.

After three days and two nights of sleepless raiding, Wang Tianxie finally broke through all the seventeen cities of the Southern Omi Kingdom. Changzheng Little Fox was completely convinced of his brother-in-law.

Although there is a lot of water in it, there are only 17 castles in the 17 castles, and there is only Misaku Castle of Rokkaku Yoshiken. and the other five cities, which are dominated by the Hexagonal family, really need to lead an army to attack, and the other cities are just walking around as if they were envoys, but after all, these are also seventeen cities.

Moreover, this is also because of Wang Tianxi's leadership. All cavalry. Therefore, it itself has a great advantage in the speed of the march. If it's an ashigaru, that is, an infantry, the speed will definitely drop dramatically.

When Wang Tianxie led the army back to the main formation, the violent overage pseudo-Lori personally led a group of Oda generals to greet him outside the main formation.

The violent overage pseudo-Lori personally held a small wine jar and brought a group of Oda family elders and important ministers to Wang Tianxie.

At this time, the elders and important ministers looked at Wang Tianxie's eyes, full of admiration. Even the monkey Kinoshita Toyoshiro, who has always been Wang Tianxie's enemy, has to sincerely admire Wang Tianxie.

Before going out of the battle, except for the violent overage pseudo-Lori who believed that Wang Tianxie could do it, none of the elders and important ministers had confidence in Wang Tianxie to break through the seventeen cities in three days.

Even the 10,000 Orphan Army Horseback Cavalry and the 5,000 ordinary Horsemen who went out into battle were greeted heroically.

After all, in such a large-scale joint battle, individual heroism is impossible, and without the hard work of this group of soldiers, no matter how brave Wang Tianxie is, he will definitely not be able to get good fruits to eat.

Wang Tianxie's army fought a total of six siege battles, and the 10,000 orphan army cavalry team as the main force only lost more than 1,000 people, and more than 2,000 horses died and nearly 3,000 horses.

Regarding the wear and tear of the war horses, Wang Tianxie had no choice but to transfer a batch of war horses from the five thousand reserve soldiers of the Snow Wolf Clan's Xiao Lori and the Half-Soldier Guard Xiao Zhengtai as a supplement, and always maintained the number of the Orphan Army's horseback team.

It is worth mentioning that the gap between ordinary soldiers and orphan troops can be clearly seen during the three-day rapid march and the siege of the city.

When Wang Tianxie led more than 8,000 orphan troops back to his main formation, although everyone was obviously tired on their faces, it could be clearly seen that their momentum was very high. Even though it was obvious that they were trembling a little when they sat on their horses after relaxing because they had returned to their own army, their eyes were very sharp.

The 5,000-strong cavalry corps of the reserve army was recruited only after the implementation of the system of separation of soldiers and peasants.

Even if they barely fought siege warfare. It's just three days and two nights of sleepless running, but it's obviously a little unbearable. There are even some people who have fallen on horseback, obviously because their bodies can't stand the fatigue and pressure.

In addition to Wang Tianxie, Mitsuhide Lori, Maeda Toshika, Maeda Keiji, Snow Wolf Clan's Little Lori Ryoko, and Takenaka Hanbei Xiao Zhengtai After dismounting, although their legs were a little trembling, they were still able to stand up straight after all.

But after the members of the Orphan Army dismounted. But he can barely stand on his feet and needs the help of others. You must know that galloping on horseback is very bumpy, and galloping for three days and three nights in a row is not a joke for the strain of the hip bone.

As for those soldiers who were officially recruited after the implementation of the separation of soldiers and peasants, most of them were carried off their horses by people, and they could not even turn over and dismount themselves.

This is because, when you want to get off the horse, you need to put one foot on the stirrup, and the upper body and hands on the horse's back. Raise the other leg and straddle the horse's back, then stand on the ground as the center of gravity. But it's just this leg-raising action, these training intensity is not as strong as that of the soldiers of the orphan army, and they can't do it anymore.

In fact, this group of soldiers who could not get off the horseback on their own was not very comfortable in their hearts. The orphans were younger than them, with an average age of only fourteen. But these adults, they can't compare to this group of children, who are generally younger than themselves.

This scene fell in the eyes of Wang Tianxie and the violent overage pseudo-Lori. Immediately I knew how to train this group of new recruits in the future.

Violent overage pseudo-Lori will arrange her own home formation in the area of Mitsui Temple. The location of Mitsuiji Temple is directly opposite Heiankyo. It can be said to be a must-pass place to enter Heiankyo.

The residence of her, Wang Tianxie and other Oda generals was set up in the Gokurakuin Temple of Mitsuiji. As for the big fox Yoshiaki who was greeted by her from the Guanyin Temple City, he was arranged to rest in Guangjing Temple.

Yoshiaki Fox had seen it for a long time this time, and he was shocked by the military might of the Oda family. In his mind, no matter how powerful the Oda family is, it will take at least one or two months. Only then can he completely open up Omi Province and engage in contact battles with the Miyoshi Trio and Matsunaga Hide.

However, from the time he learned of the news on April 10 that he would be able to see Gyeonggi from afar until April 17, it was only a short seven days.

"Fujitaka. Do you think we really made the right choice? Yoshiaki Fox sat in the guest room of the Koseongin Temple, looked at Hosokawa Fujitaka, the retainer who had rescued him from Gyeonggi, and asked with a worried face.

"Your Highness, what do you mean......" Hosokawa Fujitaka, as a retainer, had some words that were difficult to speak directly or speculate on, so he only asked very vaguely.

"You say, the Oda family, will it become the second Miyoshi three? Become the second Matsunaga show? You also see, three days, just three days...... I'm afraid there is no daimyo in this world who can compete with the Oda family. Yoshiaki's tone was full of unease.

Actually, it is understandable that he would think like this, after all, he, the first person in the public side, is about to become a general, but he only has a red and seedling bloodline, but there is not a single soldier under his hands. If the Oda family wanted to overthrow it, it would be easy.

"Your Highness, although the Oda family is terrifying, although no daimyo in the world is an opponent, we occupy a place after all. As long as you secretly repair the book to the world daimyo, you can boycott the Oda family ...... together" Hosokawa Fujitaka thought about it and began to give ideas to Yoshiaki Big Fox. (To be continued......)

PS: Diary of the Great Fox (1):

Today I came to the border between Minami Omi Province and Yamashiro Province, and the fox horse of the Oda family is really terrifying! It's so terrifying that I can't even sleep! I've heard that he can make foxes gallop on horseback, but I don't want to be a fox controlled by him!

What a terrible thing it was for that ghost to capture seventeen castles in Minami Omi Province in three days in a row! His battle armor, which was supposed to be silver-white, turned dark red! No, I have to think about what I should do if the Oda family takes my place in the future!

Fujitaka, the only retainer I can trust, help me find a way to help me save my life!
