Chapter Forty-Seven: The Rabble Scattered Sand Claims to be an Army

Fu moved forward again, walked twenty miles, went out of the county boundary, and entered the territory of Anyun County in the evening.

Gao Shisheng received a military order to go north to attack the city of a thousand countries. There are many mountains in Anyun County, few plains, and there are many small mountains, and most of them are built on high mountains above 100 meters above sea level.

The nearest city to him is Ogawa Castle, only less than twenty miles, but because the castle is in disrepair, there are not many people here, when they learned that the Takeda family sent troops to attack, they burned the city in advance and fled, which makes people laugh.

Twenty or thirty miles away from Xiaochuan Castle is the White Horse Gate, which can also be seen from the name as a special pass for military purposes.

The people of Ogawa Castle, who burned down the city and fled, fled in the direction of White Horse Castle, trying to join forces with the White Horse and hold on to the city.

If you add the Xiaochuan army that has just fled, there are about 2,000 people in Baima here, and there are nearly 1,000 young people who have removed the old and weak women and children.

It is one of the strongholds of the Nishina Reconstruction Army on the periphery, and it is the same to protect the supply route of the Echigo with the same way, and the Thousand Nations Castle is in the northeast of Hakuma Castle, with the Thousand Nations Castle as the center, and the four branch cities of Ogawa Castle, Hakuma Castle, Kurokayakan, and Zuoto Hidden Castle are also connected into a cross shape, and the Thousand Nations Castle is guarded in it.

After Gao Shisheng entered Anyun County, he repaired a little overnight, and then he didn't stop, and directly led the army to kill directly under the white horse.

The whole pass of the White Horse Fortress is built on the mountain, the terrain is precipitous, standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up at the mountain is quite easy to defend and difficult to attack, so he did not rush to attack, but stopped the army and camped on the spot.

Although there were no ninjas in the army, there were many Yamanbush evil parties who were familiar with the terrain, and he ordered Naito Mitsuhide to take a few thieves who had come to Anyun County to loot and go up the mountain to find out how the defenders' fortifications were, and whether there were any weak points in the defense, which were suitable for attacking.

Oyamada Nobushige and Asahina Shinji opened from Kurita Castle, and the troops attacked in two directions, and nearly 6,000 men and horses were huge, and the Nishina Revival Army in Mori Castle had already received the news, and they closely monitored the movement of these two people.

Gao Shisheng led his troops to enter the county first, and then repelled the defenders of Xiaochuan City, and his traces were successively known to the defenders of Baima and Qianguo City.

When he heard the news that the Imagawa army was coming, he panicked for a while, but when he learned that there were only 800 people, many people suddenly showed a sneer, not to mention the high and dangerous Hakuma Castle, but in terms of the number of people, it was far more than the other party, and the wealthy families in the city began to debate whether they should take the initiative to attack and repel the attacking enemy.

Here I have to say that the composition of the crowd in the White Horse Fence came to help. In addition to the wild samurai of the past of the Nishina family, who first instigated a pinch, there are also many people from the North Yasumo County under the Nagao family, disciples of the Pure Land Shinzong, and even several wealthy clans in the Hida country, and the source of soldiers can be described as extremely chaotic.

The chaos of the army source is not the most fatal, the most embarrassing thing is that there is no prestige enough to serve as a general figure, it stands to reason that Shaotian Changlusuke should be responsible for this garrison, but the first battle of Yumingchuan made the Shaotian family suffer heavy losses, and now they are busy in the liquidation of the city, trying to find a way to raise pensions, where is there still the heart to care about the life and death of this group of people, only sent his nephew Shaotian Chonggao, rushed to the city of Qianguo to sit in the town.

Shaotian Chonggao is still young, and he is not able to suppress the allied forces in Baimaqi and other branch cities, so he can only let them go, and secretly he has already done it, and he is ready to abscond directly if he can't do anything.

After the people in these branches of the city have maintained their independence, because the source is too complicated, even if a general general in command of the battle is elected on the surface, when the situation really arises, it is still a collegial method in the army to decide whether to fight or defend.

The argument was inconclusive until midnight, and the next morning it was noisy at noon, and the wealthy families in the White Horse Fortress were surprised to find that there was an extra army and horses outside the city after receiving a report from their subordinates.

The general in the White Horse is named Otani Muenao, who was a member of the Nishina family back then, and he was sitting on the seat, making the leaders of the various families dizzy and dizzy, and heard that someone came to report that it was Gao Shisheng who led the troops to come, and was surprised, and hurriedly dressed neatly, and took the generals present to the city to watch.

Gao Shisheng was in Shinano, first fought against Shaotian Changlusuke, and then successively defeated Murakami Yoshikiyo and Nagao Masakatsu, and his prestige spread to Anyun County early. Otani did not dare to underestimate the enemy, and in the noon sun, he looked down from the mountain, watched for a long time, and suddenly laughed.

The left and right families are inexplicable, I don't know why he laughed, but someone said, "Gao Shi Sheng is a brave general of the Imagawa army, he was still camped twenty miles outside Xiaochuan City last night, and at noon this day he led the troops to drive me under the white horse, and is about to attack my city. ”

Otani Zong pointed directly to the barracks of the Imagawa army under the mountain, and said to everyone with a smile, "I heard that the high master was vigorously guarding the camp, so that Changlusuke did not retreat from defeat, and led the crowd to break several formations outside Taihei Temple, forcing the Murakami Yulin to cut off the horse and hang his head, so that he could barely keep the camp without losing, and led the remnants of the army to three hundred, and attacked the front and rear formations of Nagao Yue, and rode alone to break through the formation, and the courage was indeed commendable. ”

This sentence provoked the official of Lianzhao Temple, Shimoma Laiqing, to be very dissatisfied, the relationship between the Pure Land Shin Sect and the Nagao family was not harmonious, and the disciples were mobilized to join the group, it was purely because the Takeda Army had plundered the monastery of the Lotus Temple in the Kawanaka Island area many times, which caused the anger of the heavens and the resentment, and the Pure Land Shin Sect paid attention to revenge and revenge.

In addition, the Hasushoji Temple in Shinano Yasuun-gun is a branch of Koganji Temple under Kanazawa Gobo in Kaga Province, and where does it care about the friendship between Takeda Shingen and the Lord of Honganji, since the Takeda family is unkind, don't blame them for being unjust, and immediately instigate Ichichi to join the Nishina Revival Army.

However, opposing the Takeda family does not mean that Renshoji Temple will hate the house and the Wu, and dislike the Imagawa army with Gao Shisheng, on the contrary, let the lecturers of each sect vigorously preach to the people that Gao Shisheng can defeat the three generals of Echigo, all of them are set up to protect the Wisdom Bodhisattva, and even call it the reincarnation of Gao Shitai, to prove that their own Buddhism is the only way to get rid of the sea of suffering and die in bliss.

Therefore, when the next room Lai Kei heard the slanderous words, he was immediately displeased, and said, "I wonder how Otani Bizen saw that Musashi was not worthy of his name?" It is necessary to know that Musashi Mamoru is an arhat who has been enlightened by the Bodhisattva of Wisdom, and then enters the dust to rescue the followers of the Pure Land. ”
