Matsunaga Hide's plan also had loopholes, and he was deliberately sniping the number one general of the shogunate army, which was very risky.

If after the death of Spo Yoshigin, the general did not choose to compromise, but felt offended and went to war in anger, with unpredictable consequences.

Therefore, the armies confronted each other and rarely assassinated enemy generals.

Fighting a war is all about ending the war when it is more advantageous for one's own side. It is not for nothing that the strategy of stimulating the enemy army to the point of desperate effort depends on the timing.

Matsunaga Hide's plan to ambush Yoshiyin Spo is feasible, but it is difficult to judge whether it will be beneficial to the battle situation.

It's just that Miyoshi Changqing is vengeful, pretending not to see the risks, and wants to kill people to vent his anger.

Once such a big man made up his mind, he naturally surged up.

"I've made up my mind!

Seize Wada Weizheng and wait until after the war to deal with her. ”

She looked around at the scene, and all the Ji warriors were waiting with bated breath.

In the Miyoshi Army, there are troops from all countries and families who obey orders, just because the prestige of Miyoshi Changqing is in full swing.

Compared to Ashikaga Yoshiteru on the other side, she is more like a shogun who responds to every call.

In the army, except for the Awaji people brought by Matsunaga Hide.

There are also the Settsu people of Miyoshi Changyi, the Awa people of Shinohara Nagafang, and the Miyoshi people of Miyoshi Masayasu, all of which are elite people of the three good families and relatives.

Miyoshi Changqing swept it over, had a plan in his heart, and said.

"Miyoshi Changyi, you take the people of Tsutsu to cross the river from a distance, be careful not to show traces, and go to Jiaoxingsi Village to prepare to ambush Sipo Yiyin."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Shinohara Nagabo, you too. Cross the river with Awa's chosen hidden spot and lurk between Iimoriyama Castle and Kyokoji Village.

As soon as Spo Yoshiin and his samurai on horseback chase him to Kyokoji Temple, you will cut him off and drive him south to die. ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Matsunaga Hide, this battle is your strategy. It's up to you to select ten elite horseback warriors from the Awaji crowd and cross the river to harass the supply lines of Iimoriyama Castle.

If Sibo Yiyin goes south with you to teach the temple, I will count you as your first merit. ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Miyoshi Masayasu, take the people of the Miyoshi family headquarters, and follow me to cross the river to attack and attract the attention of the shogunate army."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Miyoshi Changqing's eyes were slightly red, and he pulled out a knife and plunged it into the ground.

"I want Spo's head!"

"Hey!"

The concubines bowed their heads, and the army set out.

———

The next day, Spo Yoshiin received a military report from Maeda's interests in his camp, so he summoned the princess to discuss it.

"The Miyoshi family has a samurai on horseback who has crossed the Yodo River and is harassing the supply lines from Iimoriyama Castle to the shogunate army."

Yiyin frowned.

"It's a strange thing, and the military newspaper says that there are no more than fifteen samurai on horseback.

What is the point of such a squad, without supplies, with at most two days of rations, to harass the logistics of our army? ”

War horses are valuable consumables, and they are very cherished by each family. It is too extravagant to harass the logistics line.

Moreover, the camp of the Miyoshi family is on the other side of the river, and if you are an infantryman, you can do something with five days' rations.

When the cavalry is dispatched, not only the men have to eat, but also the horses.

The energy of weeds is very low, and if you let the horses graze by themselves, it will take you half a day to gallop for a short time.

Therefore, when the army goes to war, most of the war horses are fed with bean grain.

There is not much space for a samurai on horseback, and it can last up to two days.

What is the point of this harassment?

The army had its own food stock for several days, and as long as the supply of Iimoriyama Castle stopped for two days, this group of horseback samurai could only return in vain.

Consume the precious physical strength of the war horse, just to cut off the logistics of the Iga people for two days?

Akechi Mitsuhide shook his head and said.

"You can't count it that way.

The supply line from Iimoriyama Castle to the shogunate army is a letter of honor from the heart of our Spo family to the shogun.

The shogunate army was distracted, and the loudest voice of the main battle was my house.

If the logistics are cut off, even if it is only for two days, rumors will spread.

This is our support for the public side's statement, and we must not give others the slightest opportunity to question it. ”

Yiyin nodded.

"In that case, send troops to expel them."

From Iimoriyama Castle to the army, the road is not far, and the supply line is extremely short.

As long as Yiyin intends to send troops, he will be able to drive away the enemy army in no time.

Akechi Mitsuhide was still thinking.

"Lord, I've always felt that something was wrong with this."

Yiyin replied.

"If there's something weird, you have to do it.

As you say, the supply line is a gesture of my loyalty to the general, and there must be no problems.

Just sending troops, some trouble. ”

At this time, the Spo army was far less powerful than it was in Yamato.

The Northern University and the samurai were sent to Kyoto to assist in the defense, and the Saga people returned to Kii to threaten the Nerai people to return to Japan.

In the hands of Yoshigin, only the Iga people can use it.

And the Iga people have not fallen in every battle for more than 20 days since they sent out their troops, and they are already tired.

In the previous joint battle, Iga lost half of the army, and because of the Yiyin charge, fifty elite Ji samurai were killed and disabled.

Of the other 50 Ji warriors who were injured at the beginning, only 30 have returned to the team so far.

Three of the nine reserves of the Iga people were to guard Iimoriyama Castle and its supply lines before and after, and were not to be moved lightly.

The remaining six Ji samurai were only enough to maintain the normal operation of the reserve, and it was difficult to draw out more manpower.

After thinking about it, only the self-proclaimed Spo Tongxin people in the Iga crowd, that is, the thirty Ji samurai, were available.

Yiyin thought about it and spoke.

"I'll do it once. There are thirty people in the same heart, all of whom are Ji warriors with strong martial arts, and I took them to ride horses to drive away the harassment of the Miyoshi family. ”

Akechi Mitsuhide is still restless, and always feels that something is wrong.

"Lord, your status is noble and cannot be lightly moved, so let's go to another person."

Yiyin said helplessly.

"I'll go in person, it's hard for others to make these people obey."

The Spo Tongxin are elite Ji samurai from various families, and they are all arrogant guys, and their families belong to the three regions of North Iga, Yuno, and South Iga.

In ancient times, it was the most important township party and the most disobedient to the interference of outsiders.

There was no second person in the Spo army who could suppress these concentric people from all over the world, and they only served Spo Yiyin.

Akechi Mitsuhide also understands this truth, but after all, he is still worried.

"Lord, this time, just expel the enemy army, and don't go far, so as not to cause accidents."

Yiyin nodded.

"I know."

When it comes to sparing his life, Yiyin knows that he is very afraid of death.

The samurai thought he was the first to be the leader, but in fact he was always safe.

As long as he is in killing mode, he is immortal.

The most feared thing is that the order runs out of kill points, and is shot remotely, and there is no time to kill and recover points.

In addition, the injury should not be too severe, in case after turning off the kill mode, it will be ridiculous to seriously injure the burp directly.

So every time he goes into battle, he seems to be rough, but in fact, he has been attacking with many Ji warriors, just to avoid risks.

It's really not easy to kill him.

Yiyin smiled at Akechi Mitsuhide and said to the others.

"I'll be back in half a day at most.

Yamanaka Hime, the imperial flag is placed in the camp, and you go out with me. ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Fujido Takatora, Otani Yoshitsugu, Hyakuri Santaifu, Fujibayashi Apricot, Fujibayashi Starling, you are all under the orders of Akechi Mitsuhide, wait for my return."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Yiyin turned back and smiled at Akechi Mitsuso.

"Peace of mind, I'll be back soon."

Akechi Mitsuhide looked at his smile, and his uneasy heart gradually calmed down.

"Well, I'll wait for you."
