Chapter 173: Convergence
Ten Rivers and One Cun originally let Sanyoshi Yixing go north, based on two judgments.
One, there is no army in Yamato except Tsutsui City, and the Zaga people are enough to do whatever they want.
Second, Kofukuji still holds the power of Yamato, and Tsutsui Shunkei does not dare to resist the decree of the Dharma.
Now both of these premises have been miscalculated.
Yoshibain led the Iga army into battle and broke the first one. Tsutsui Shunqing dared to ignore the seven decrees in a row, and only the harboring evil intentions could be explained, breaking the second one.
The first fierce general of the Miyoshi family has been full of confidence since he entered the near few days, and he has been slapped in the face and beaten into a pig's head by these Ji warriors who are full of ghosts, and he doesn't know yet.
Yiyin wanted to laugh, but he couldn't.
He had previously agreed with Tokawa Ichikuen's judgment that Tsutsui Shunkei was a nun samurai family under the control of the Hojo.
If Tsutsui Shunkei really gets out of control, then the situation after that will be difficult to judge.
Tsutsui Shunkei ignored the decree of the law, that is, he wanted to borrow a knife to kill people, so that the people of Saga destroyed Kofukuji Temple.
You don't even need to do anything to arrange for people to keep an eye on Kofukuji Temple. If you have the slightest chance, you can slaughter the nuns yourself and blame others.
Now that the Dharma Master had become suspicious of her for ignoring the decree, the Saga people had been expelled from the area around Kofukuji Temple.
What will she do? Will it simply cooperate with Miyoshiya? Yiyin felt that he didn't have enough brains.
Although he succeeded in getting the Kofukuji Master on the side of the shogunate this time, Yoshiin was not happy.
The Yamato National Stone is 450,000 stone high. Tsutsui Shunqing holds most of the Yamato army, even if the nun martial arts family drops the chain again, the pigs raised by more than 300,000 stones will have to be caught for a month.
If she had evil thoughts, the Iga army might not have been able to retreat, but there was no time to think about it anymore.
Since Tsutsui Shunkei in the south is not pure-minded, the confrontation on the southern front will continue for a few more days, and it will also give him time to defeat the northern Zaga people.
At present, the most important thing is not to guess Tsutsui Shunkei's mind, but to pull out the nails in the rear.
And took advantage of this battle to completely integrate the Iga people and the traditional Yamato samurai, and lay down prestige for the southward fight against the Jukawa Ichicun army.
With Kofukuji's century-old savings as logistical supplies, the Iga people can finally exchange shotguns for guns, and no longer have to fight with a broken knife.
And how to defeat the Zaga crowd is in big trouble. On the way to the mountain castle of the northern gun, Yiyin gets a piece of news that he doesn't know whether it is good or bad.
"The people of Saga are in danger of defending it, and they have no plans to retreat south?"
The third lady of Baidi nodded.
"Yes, Your Highness.
Miyoshi Yoshiko led the Saga Party to camp in an unknown Jedi south of Koriyama Castle, and after gathering the Saga people, he did not move to pull out the camp.
Instead, the barricades and traps were reinforced, and the posture of stubborn defense was put on. The hill of the station is not high, but it is a straight cliff on three sides and a gentle slope on one side, and there is a living spring. ”
Yoshiin looked at Niko Katsuhisa.
"In front of the Imperial Palace, the Saga people wreaked havoc in Yamato and stole a lot of food.
Now there is no problem with food, grass and drinking water, it seems that they are waiting for help in the north, and they are nailed behind us. ”
Yiyin suddenly felt his hands prickly.
If the Saga people go south, with the hidden ability of the Iga ninjas, Yoshiin may not be able to fight a perfect ambush battle.
But Zahezhong actually chose to defend to the death, which is completely inconsistent with the character of a mercenary.
It has only been a few days since the Yoshiyin army entered Yamato, and Tokawa Ichitsu still doesn't know that the Iga army is coming, so how can they stay where they are at the risk of being surrounded and suppressed.
The Saga people are good at iron cannons, and Kii Province has the ability to produce its own iron cannons, and there are more than 1,000 Saga people, and there will be no less than 500 iron cannons in their hands. Now in the Jedi, there is food and water.
With the authority of Yoshigin present in the Iga congregation. Let them attack the fortifications, only to be afraid that if the casualties are less than enough, they will turn back, and then the Iga army, which they can barely control, will collapse.
But if you choose to besiege, how long? How much food did they steal? How long is enough to eat?
Yiyin suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind and asked.
"Niziji, if there is a heavy rain, will we succeed in attacking the mountain?"
Niko Katsuhisa shook her head and said.
"It's hard. Zaga Zhong is a veteran of iron artillery, and they will definitely not be slackened in moisture and waterproof, and a heavy rain will not shake them.
Even without the iron cannon, they are also Ji samurai, and they still have the ability to fight.
Moreover, the summer harvest has passed, and autumn is about to begin. The spring tide period and the summer rainy season have passed, and there is no possibility of heavy rain in Yamato. ”
Heavy rain is impossible, and Yiyin naturally won't argue with Nizi Shengjiu.
What he thought of was his special effects and used it to create an opportunity to attack.
But what Niko Katsuhisa said is reasonable, the Zaga people are mercenaries, and there is no reason to encounter sunny days every day when they go out to fight.
The wild samurai is still a wild samurai without the iron cannon, and even if the defense becomes more difficult, it is not easy to take it.
After all, there were more than a thousand Hime samurai there, which was the same number as the Ji samurai of the Iga people. They are all Chinese and local servants, and they are all mixed with old and young, and the difference in combat power will not be too big.
In this way, it needs to rain heavily enough, and there needs to be an opportunity to completely crush the morale of the Zaga people.
The former depends on whether the system is powerful, and the latter has to be carefully considered by Yiyin himself.
I was so confused for a while that I couldn't figure it out.
Three days passed in a flash, and when Yiyin arrived at Koriyama Castle, it was the stall where the samurai from all over the north gathered.
This time, the traditional samurai of northern Yamato suffered a catastrophe.
The Saga people were strictly ordered by Suzuki Shigehide not to harass Kofukuji Temple, and it was not easy to go to many vague boundaries in central Yamato, so as not to accidentally step across the boundary.
Then the villages of the northern samurai had to be doubled and tossed. Bandits are like combs, soldiers are like grates, and the Zahe people are now soldiers and bandits, recklessly carnivaling.
There are eighty or ninety village nationals in the traditional samurai family of Yamato in the north, and less than fifty came this time.
Except for some far-flung ones that were too late to arrive because the letters were too late, there were more than 20 fewer ones.
Thus, at least twenty villages have been wiped off the face of the earth. Not to mention the humble civilians, each family has forty or fifty people, that is, eight or nine hundred martial artists have been slaughtered.
Some of the remaining samurai families are due to the limited number of people in Saga and have not yet been affected. There are also some who have gotten the news and are sticking to the village, and the Zahe people have not succeeded for a while.
If Yoshibain hadn't arrived with the Iga army, at least half of these Yamato northern samurai would have disappeared after the war.
Therefore, they are full of gratitude to Sibo Yiyin. The samurai family is the most important family, the village is not lost, the land is still there, and the population can recover.
In fact, Yiyin's action to save the samurai family had not been carried out for long, and Suzuki Shigehide ordered the Saga people to shrink back by themselves.
But these people won't know, so naturally they all put their kindness on Sibo Yiyin.
The leaders of the two samurai families of Shima and Yagyu ascended to the heights, and the samurai families from all over the country responded one after another, coming to work for Spo Yoshiyin and seeking justice from the Miyoshi family.
Samurai society does not believe in tears.
If there is no Sibo Yoshiyin to take the lead, the Miyoshi family has a big fist, and the surviving samurai will swallow their anger.
But now that the Iga army is here, the Saga people are shrinking and defending. These Chinese people don't have a long-term vision, they only see the prospect of revenge in front of them, so they naturally carry knives to talk about righteousness with the lackeys of the Miyoshi family.
A tooth for a tooth, blood for a blood.
