525, the prelude to the battle of Sister River
A few days later, the Oda family's army began to move, and half of them, more than 30,000 people, moved to the northeast of the Oda family, to defend against the attack of the Takeda family, these more than 30,000 people were all led by unknown garbage samurai, the purpose was to be a cover, used to distract the enemy's attention, the real powerful samurai and elite soldiers, all followed Nobunaga, to attack Asakura and Asai.
A few days later, the navy led by the Nine Ghosts Yoshitaka also carried Yi Yun's army, Li Chengyu, Chen Yuanyuan, Pu Cong, Chikuzen Baimei and others all arrived with the army, but Yi Yun did not let this army merge with the army of the Oda family, but let his two thousand soldiers form an independent army and be stationed twenty miles away from the Oda family barracks.
The reason is very simple, he is a hostage, how can a hostage directly lead troops? Moreover, it is also dangerous if these two thousand people are put together with the troops of the Oda family, in case this demon king suddenly lets his army attack his army at night...... This is very likely to happen.
Yi Yun still couldn't trust her, so he only let his army troops stand far away, so as not to mix with the Oda family's army, and it was impossible to pile them all together when fighting anyway.
The army began to pull out, and the Nobuta army set off towards the north in a group according to the pre-divided queue. According to the plan, Iyun's fleet should have already begun to bombard Ishiyama Honganji Temple at this time. The forces such as Honganji, Saga, Miyoshi, Rokkaku, and Tsutsui should have turned their attention to Ishiyama Honganji Castle, and the next step is the best opportunity to attack Asakura and Asai.
Iyun followed Oda Nobunaga's main camp and moved north. His acquaintance, Hideyoshi, a country girl, is no longer around. Because the country girl was ordered to lead the three thousand soldiers of the third formation, Takenaka Hanbei and Wasuka Koroku were all taken by her to the third formation and walked in a very front position.
There are not many acquaintances in this formation, and Iyun only knows Nobunaga and Akechi Mitsuhide, and Nobunaga doesn't seem to be a good person, and Iyun doesn't want to talk too much to her. Akechi Mitsuhide is a famous anti-bone cub, and Iyun doesn't bother to pay attention to her. As a result, the trip turned into a boring march, and Iyun had to look at the scenery around him.
I don't know if I don't see it, but it's amazing to see it. Although Fuso is the same as Da Moe country. It has a desert climate, but the land in the middle of the state is obviously well developed. Basically, there is no trace of sand in sight, an oasis is connected to an oasis, forming a vast green belt, with fertile land and trees, a bit like the Jiangnan boundary of the Great Meng Country.
No wonder the strength of the Oda family is so strong, his sphere of influence is all this kind of fertile soil, of course, much richer than the daimyo in Kyushu Shikoku.
After a few days of marching, Iyun saw a small river in front of him, and it was not flowing with sand. Rather, it is a clear river, so you can see through the river that the river is very shallow, at most half a person deep, and people can cross the river with water. On the other side of the river, a large army had been quietly swinging out, waiting for the Oda army for a long time.
Yi Yun used the scout's long-sight skill and looked to the opposite side, only to see that there were about 10,000 troops distributed on the opposite side, on the military flag floating in the army. The three bronze coin family crests of the Asakura family are drawn, and it seems that this is the army of the Asakura family.
On this side of the river, a little upstream, there was a castle with the military flag of the Asai family flying on it, and outside the castle there was a small castle town, which seemed to have a population of about 1,000.
"This river is called Sister River, and that city is called Yokoyama Castle. Nobunaga introduced to Iyun, "Yokoyama Castle is the castle of the Asai family, and the Asai army is obviously stationed in this castle and wants to defend against my attack with a strong castle defense. The Asakura army, on the other hand, did not enter the city and set up a military position on the other side of the river, which was to rely on the river as a natural defensive belt. ”...,
Yi Yun didn't understand the military formation strategy very well, but after reading this posture, he also understood something: "If we attack Hengshan Castle, the Asakura army on the other side of the river will cross the river and attack us." And if we cross the river to attack the Asakura army, the Asai army in Yokoyama Castle can also go out of the city to attack our rear, right?"
"That's right!" Nobunaga nodded: "But Asai and Asakura also underestimate my military strength, if I bring a small number of people, of course it will be difficult to deal with their tactics, but I brought a full 30,000 troops to arrive, and it is easy to divide the troops to deal with them." ”
With a wave of her hand, she said, "Order, Niwa Nagahide's team, the entire clan family's team, and Ando's Shou team, go and surround Yokoyama Castle for me." ”
Among these three, Niwa Nagahide led 3,000 soldiers, and the clan Buquan and Ando Mamoru each led 1,000 soldiers, that is, a total of 5,000 troops, and these 5,000 troops were quickly separated from the military formation and rushed towards Yokoyama Castle.
In a short time, 5,000 people were scattered into a large net, encompassing Hengshan Castle in the middle.
"Report, Nobunaga, the castle town of Yokoyama Castle is too much of a hindrance, and those messy houses are blocking the formation of our army. And many civilians are running around, which is very inconvenient. A herald replied: "Please instruct Nobunaga to drive these civilians away or what?"
"What are you doing to drive away, it's too troublesome!" Nobunaga's face flashed with a fierce aura, and without even the slightest hesitation, she said, "Kill them all, burn the castle towns, and raze them to the ground, so that we won't be hindered from setting up our formation." ”
"Silk!" Yi Yun, who was standing next to him, suddenly gasped, I wiped it, that's a civilian, not an enemy soldier, do you want to be so ruthless? Sure enough, the Sixth Day Demon King is the Sixth Day Demon King, and this murderous aura is really not covered. Lao Tzu, the villain of the big Meng country who claimed to be the aggressor, came to Fusang, and he didn't use this kind of unconscionable play. This guy himself is still a Fuso person, and when he deals with civilians of his own clan, he actually kills them all when he opens his mouth, and he can't afford to hurt them.
The herald took the order, and after a while, Niwa Nagahide's army began to set fire in the castle town of Yokoyama Castle, and fires rose everywhere, and the houses of Fuso were made of some thatch and wooden planks, which were very easy to burn, and this fire suddenly burned to the sky, and many civilians wailed in the firelight, and several civilians wanted to run out of the burning village, and as soon as they ran to the entrance of the village, they were cut down to the ground by Niwa Nagahide's soldiers.
It is said that these civilians belong to the Asai family, and the Asai Army should be responsible for them. But the Asai army in the city was really calm, watching the civilians under their own rule being killed and the village burned, and they just stuck in the city and couldn't come out.
The attacker killed civilians, and the defenders sat back and watched civilians being killed, and no one frowned, this Fuso man is really ...... Too fucking cold-blooded.
Eyun saw a little girl crying in the burning village, and although the fire had not yet reached the open space where she stood, it was burning all around, and when the air burned out, she would inevitably suffocate there. Several young women lay on their stomachs by the well, and brought up buckets of water, and poured them on themselves, their clothes all wet, revealing their graceful figures, and the water saved them from death for a while, but they could not last long as the fire grew bigger and bigger. They wanted to escape from the village, but they didn't dare to look at the Oda army surrounded outside! Running out was a slash to death, their hesitant eyes were full of despair, and in despair there was a desire for life.
Yi Yun couldn't help but move his heart of seclusion, although he was affected a lot after coming to this world, but in the end, he was still a person from the next generation, and he couldn't sit back and watch the civilians being tortured and killed like this.
"Nobunaga, these civilians, you don't want them, I want them!" Yi Yun suddenly spoke: "You also know that the population of my Kyushu Island is relatively small, and there are so many things like civilians that you can kill and play with here, but I urgently need to increase them, the villagers in this town, you might as well give them to me." ”...,
"Oh?" Nobunaga looked at Iyun with interest, with a smile on his face: "You want to save them?
Rub, Lao Tzu is not called soft-hearted, it is called reason, and you are not called ruthless, but crazy. Yi Yun snorted, "I don't want to be a man of the world...... Give me these civilians, you don't want them anyway. ”
"Okay, take it if you want!" Nobunaga laughed, "But send your own army to take over, don't trouble my army." ”
"Okay!" Yi Yun hurriedly sent someone to inform the self-army several miles away, and asked Li Chengyu to bring the troops over to take in the civilians.
Nobunaga ordered the forces surrounding Yokoyama to make way for a small gap, allowing the villagers to escape.
Seeing that the Oda army had moved out of the gap, the civilians in the town ran out of the gap as if they were desperate, crying, and soon they found that they had escaped and fallen into the encirclement of a strange army, whose soldiers were all very tall and did not look much like Fuso, and the proportion of female soldiers in the army was very large.
A female general in red armor came out and said a few cute words, and then an interpreter said loudly: "Your life was picked up by Lord Kyushu Shou, from today on, you obediently listen to Lord Kyushu Shou's words, if you don't want to listen, you can go back to the village by yourself and wait to be burned to death." ”
Isn't this nonsense? Who would choose to be burned to death? They are just civilians, not samurai who pay attention to the spirit of bushido, and their lives are threatened, so it is only right to obey them quickly.
About five or six hundred remnants of the villagers followed behind Yiyun's army, their clothes raged and sluggish, like an ugly tail.
However, Yi Yun looked at this tail, but he was more satisfied, not bad, he easily got five or six hundred people, you must know that in the country of Dameng, if you want to collect so many house slaves at one time, you have to spend money to ask Taishi Xiaohua to help buy it. Moreover, the Donglin Party also made an obstacle from it, so that Yi Yun could not buy it, so it was better to arrest people in Fusang Yao Village and go back. (To be continued.)
