Asai Nagamasa is indeed busy. Several days have passed since the slack season after spring ploughing, and if there is no more war, it seems that the summer harvest is about to begin.

The success or failure of this battle is not yet certain, but it is indeed the territory of the Rokkaku family to attack the Asai family.

If the Roxagonal family is ruthless, their summer harvest is rotten in the ground, and they are bent on harvesting the wheat of the Asai family, and the Asai family can't cry.

In the era of agriculture, food is the lifeblood. If there is no food, it is not a matter of increasing the price by a few percent, but by starving to death by a few percent without food.

Therefore, it is necessary to block the Roxagonal family outside the territory and block the Hexagonal army on the front line of Sawa Mountain City.

Fortunately, this time the Hexagon family was worried about internal and external troubles, and her family did not have the heart to plan it slowly.

Rokkaku Yoshiken wanted to fight a battle and subdued the Asai family. It was good to turn around and appease the shogunate, reward the retainers, and secure the throne of the family governor who was seriously shaken before his ascension to the throne.

Since everyone was pressed for time, Yiyin didn't wait too long. The day after tomorrow, Asai Nagamasa took the elite honjin of Kotani Castle to the front.

To the east of Lake Biwa is a large alluvial plain. The rivers that come and go fertilize the land, but also block the north and the south, forming a situation where the north and the south are divided into rivers.

The Inougami River, Aichi River, Hino River, and Yasu River are fed into the Omi Basin by abundant water, and the central area east of Lake Biwa is the best arable land in Japan.

During the Asai Hisamasa era, Rokkaku Joyori captured the three counties of Inugami, Aichi, and Takashima in Kita-Omi, and the Asai family was forced to curl up and retreat back to Ehoku.

Takamiya, O'O, Asama and other cities all fell into the hands of the Rokkaku, leaving only Sawa Yamashiro alone to hold the salient, which was the last nail to stop the enemy outside the three counties of Jiangbei.

As a fierce general in the family, Isono Yuanchang was named the lord of Sawa Mountain Castle. Just because the day of the fall of Sawa Mountain Castle was the time when Jiangbei was attacked by Rokkaku.

This time, the joint battle strategy of the two sides also revolved around the mountain castle. The 20,000 soldiers of the Rokkaku family pointed directly at this city, and Asai Nagamasa led 10,000 troops to the rescue.

Two days later, Asai Nagamasa's main camp arrived at the foot of the mountain castle and waited for the troops and horses from all walks of life to assemble. Under the general mobilization of the Asai family, in addition to the defense of various places, eighteen reserves came.

According to the scale of 500 to 800 men each, more than 10,000 troops were raised. It's just that the peasants and soldiers are responsible for logistics by bringing their own dry rations, and there are only four or five thousand people who can really go into battle.

The 20,000 troops of the Rokkaku family are still gathering while advancing, and judging from the report of the spies, they will reach the front line of the mountain city in three days.

The Asai family has no way to retreat, and the hexagonal righteous sage is eager to win, and it will be a fierce battle at that time.

At this time, in a valley behind the mountain castle of Sawa, the Fujido people had been placed for three days.

If it weren't for the Asai family's contact with the envoys, they would almost have thought they had been forgotten.

This is the back of Sawa Yama Castle, far from the frontal battlefield. The military order said that the Fujido people should guard the valley road to prevent the enemy from sneaking up on the rear.

However, even if the enemy passed through the valley road, there were towering walls of Sawa Mountain Castle ahead. It can warn from afar and mobilize troops and horses to protect it from the front.

The hexagonal family has eaten enough to go around so far, and there is no sudden attack on the city wall, isn't the wall in front beautiful enough?

However, there is an army of the Hexagonal family at the other end of the valley road, staring at it from afar, lest the defenders squeeze out some men and horses to sneak attack the rear of the Hexagonal Army.

The young and frivolous Fujido Gaohu has been depressed these days, thinking that he would have a chance to show his skills this time, but who knew that he would be sent to such a place. People are dying of boredom, and they are still talking about making contributions.

"Second daughter, do you have something on your mind?"

Her mother, Fujido Tiger High, was happy.

As the leader of the Fujido people, she is most worried about being sent to the battlefield by the Asai family to be used as cannon fodder. Now such a cold treatment is already a good thing to be overjoyed.

"Mother, you are happy. This Asai family made it clear that they didn't believe us, and let us waste food and pay here. We have no share in this public favor. ”

"Isn't that nice? When I was young, I was like you, thinking about doing something to make the family bigger. I went out and saw a lot of people in the market, hey, it's better to be steady, at least the family can continue. ”

Fujido Toraka was also an excellent Ji samurai at the beginning, and he traveled out of Omi as a ronin and fought many battles.

Therefore, she is well-informed, and she is supported by the people of the twelve villages near Fujitang Village as the leader.

"Are you still happy? Without this military exploits, the Fujitang family will have to be a local servant for a lifetime, and there will be no chance of getting ahead in the future. ”

It was difficult for Gao Hu to understand her mother's thoughts, she was young and vigorous, and she just wanted to make a name for herself with her martial arts.

"In the years I went out, I suffered countless injuries and suffered countless times. I only understand one truth, that is, to accept fate.

We are born to be the life of the village women, no matter how much you jump, the board on your head can't be opened. You won't give up until your head is bleeding. ”

Fujido Tiger looked at his unconvinced daughter and sighed. Just as he wanted to explain a few more words, the guard walked over.

"Boss, someone from Zuohe Mountain City is here, saying that he will take over our command, you see?"

"Command?"

Fujido Toraka frowned. The original order was just to defend in place, and this kind of thing still needs to be commanded? Could it be that there has been a change?

"Let's go, let's see."

She said and walked out, and Gao Hu behind her followed excitedly, feeling that there was a battle to fight.

Some time ago, the main camp with Asai Nagamasa arrived in Yamashiro, and Yoshiin took Maeda's interests, Akechi Mitsuhide, and Otani Yoshitsuki Mitsuhime to find his subordinates who were fighting this time.

After a while, the interests began to mumble.

"Why are you getting farther and farther away from the battlefield?"

The direction in which the two sides gathered had been cleared, and it would probably be in the open territory a few places directly in front of the mountain city. Yiyin and his party are going backwards, but aren't they going far away.

"Wise Ji, what do you think?"

Yiyin has recently developed a good habit of asking Guangxiu if something is unclear.

"It seems that the Asai family doesn't want to use these Chinese, and they don't worry about you."

The strategy of the Asai family is not difficult to see.

"Me?"

"I'm worried that if something happens to you on the battlefield with your military strength, then the Asai family will lose a lot.

You are now her family's trump card, and with you, the Ashikaga family and the Rokkaku family can't pretend to be harmonious.

If you're not in the battle formation, Asai Nagamasa won't be able to cry. Just give you a team, stay away from the battlefield, and stay until after the war.

Anyway, this army is from the enemy county, and it is not safe to use it. Killing two birds with one stone, what a good calculation. ”

Akechi Mitsuhide said it simply, and all three of them understood.

Otani Yoshitsugu doesn't speak, she's not as close as Maeda's interests, and now she's guarding a stable word, just listen to the Lord's words.

The interests are a little emotional, and the battle has not yet been fought, and their own family has become a burden, and they are not happy.

As soon as he wanted to speak, he was glared back by Yiyin. Are you afraid that you won't have to fight? There is a wise Mitsuhide, a female strategist who cuts through all black, and she can't stop even if she is afraid of hitting her legs.

Yoshiyin looked back at the array flag held by Yoshitsugu Otani, and there were two flags hanging above and below him, the Ashikaga white flag and the Spo family pattern.

In this world battlefield, we can distinguish between friend and foe, relying on the flags of each army.

The finger flag on his back, the formation flag of the reserve team, and the horse seal of the general. This time, Yiyin theoretically commanded a reserve team, so he naturally chose the flagpole of the array flag to hang the family crest of the Sibo family.

This Spo family pattern is very similar to the Ashikaga family, with some variations of two introductions. The Ashikaga family likes to use two to introduce two, but they are not qualified to use it, and they have created a bunch of similar variants.

But Xibei goods are Xibei goods, and fake ones can't be real. When it comes to the row, or the Ashikaga white flag, I don't know if the people of the country know the goods.

Thinking of the theory of the Imperial Family of Wise Mitsuhide, Yiyin has no bottom in his heart. This is like a look up on the business card of the previous life, it sounds better to mention, and there is nothing to be proud of.

Can people still sacrifice their lives and forget about death?
