Chapter 204: Deployment (100 monthly passes)
Revised in ten minutes
Baidi City, Changzong and my clan were anxious, and finally waited for the news of the increase in troops in Daxi City, and this news came too quickly, and even the two-day period did not pass, and the Date family really wanted to fight back against the recklessness of Changzong and my clan, which was greatly unexpected by him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Although the Emura family once predicted that the Date family would not compromise and live in peace with the Chosamune and Ibu clan, the Emura family was right. But the Jiangcun family didn't predict what they should do, the two-day period was about to expire, and he had an inexplicable fear of the arrival of the last moment. This sense of fear from the depths of his heart quietly imprisoned the reason of Changzong and my family, causing his IQ to plummet, allowing him to struggle only in helplessness and despair.
Jiangcun in-laws and Gu Zhongcheng glanced at each other, they also saw that something was wrong, originally they were persuaded because the reason of the elder sect and my relatives was also quite high, otherwise they would not have finally chosen to acquiesce, when things are not good, the statement is to reserve opinions, and of course it is acquiesced when things are developing in a good direction, these are the two changes in attitude. The reason why they were persuaded was because Shirachi Castle was located in the center of the four provinces of Sangi, Awa, Tosa, and Iyo, and whoever occupied it would have the initiative, and if the Chomune Ibe clan occupied Hakuji Castle, they would have a bargaining chip with the Date family. The Date family wanted to cross the White Land Castle and drop a large army into Iyo Province, so they had to compromise with them.
Although the Date family has an absolute advantage on the water, but water transportation and land transportation are two completely different concepts, water transportation for one person is almost equivalent to land transportation for two people to consume materials, if land transportation can be successfully opened, the Date family will be able to transport more people and horses from Awa and Sangi Province, which is also the reason why Nagamune and my head are full of personal letters. However, it is clear that the head of Chomune Ibe did not consider how big the size gap between Nagamune Ibe clan and Date clan is.
The Tosa country stone is no more than 1230,000 stones, the population is about 120,000 people, the original native Sakoku is divided into seven powerful families, but after the Changzong I Yuan pro his father country pro-south and northern war, has suppressed the Motoyama family, and gradually dominates the Nakatosa.
Now, there are no more than 1,000 soldiers in Changzong's clan, and there will be no more than 10,000 soldiers, this is the size of Changzong's Yuanqin, which is already much stronger than when his father Guoqin succeeded to the throne, but even so, compared with the Date family, which has half of the world's soldiers and horses of 200,000, it is indeed just a little mouse.
Now, the little mouse wants to bargain with the tiger, which makes the tiger feel. The first thing the tiger thought of was not to compromise with the mouse, but to shoot the mouse to death, and only let the mouse go if it couldn't die, but could the mouse endure it?
ChosΕ and I thought he was a strong rat, but not all of them had the wild blood and uncontrollable impulses, and his younger brothers and retainers were afraid of the majesty of the tiger and the fierce battle that was coming.
When people are desperate, they will think too much, and the relatives of Changzong and my department suddenly linked the abnormality of An Yi Guohu with the Date family, and he told his association to the Jiangcun family and Gu Zhongcheng, two people who are very resourceful and self-assured, and the so-called resourceful people are people who will think about a simple thing complicated.
Jiangcun's in-laws and Gu Zhongcheng glanced at each other, and they felt that it was very possible for Changzong's whimsical idea of his relatives. As long as the Date family has a letter, where does An Yi Guohu, who is also deeply disturbed, dare to slack off, and he has a reason to send troops to attack Yesu and Shangma Village.
If the association of Changzong and my tribe's relatives is correct, then An Yi Guohu will take the lead in attacking, and the rest of the Haoqiang who were suppressed by Changzong and my clan will also move one after another, and join forces to crusade against the Changzong and my tribe, this is still Tosa, and abroad, the Date family will not let go of their provocation, so it will be a storm. If Nagamune wants to get the benefits he needs, he must not only defeat the coalition of Tosa's opponents led by Aki Kunitora, but also survive the counterattack of the Date family. The risk is immeasurable, one wrong step is not bad, and there is no chance of turning over.
Jiangcun's in-laws and Gu Zhongcheng both thought of the sense of despair that the storm was coming, they looked quite calm on their faces, but in fact, their hearts were already turbulent, and all kinds of emotions collided fiercely and were chaotic. Gu Zhongcheng said suddenly: "Zuo Jingliang, what if you go to Tokushima on behalf of your brother?" β
The Emura family didn't expect Gu Zhongcheng to say such a thoughtless thing, you must know that the head of the Nagazong family is the head of the Nagazong family, and let the younger brother of the Yuanqin, the head of the Nagamune family, go to meet the head of the Date family in Tokushima, what does this mean.
Changzong's Qinzhen's face was pale, he looked at Gu Zhongcheng in disbelief, his eyes flashed, you must know that this kind of thing is said to be a minister's master, and it is also a novel to overstep, no matter whether you can survive the crisis now, it will definitely bury the root of Changzong's family, and a brotherly wall will inevitably be in the future.
Changzong shook his head and refused, and said, "Or go and report to my brother and ask if you want to give up Baidi City?" He would rather give up Hakuji Castle than agree to go to Tokushima, whether or not he can get his wish and get temporary safety when he goes to Tokushima. If you can't complete the task, you can simply die, but once you complete the task, you will inevitably have a dirty relationship with your brother. However, in the eyes of Nagamune's family, there is still a way to go, that is, to abandon Hakudi Castle and gather all the soldiers and horses, there is still hope to defeat the discordant Tosa coalition army.
Gu Zhongcheng also said the same, and as soon as he said it, he regretted it and didn't mention it again, but he was still a little unwilling to give up Baidi City. Although he had reservations about seizing White Land City, he was still a little unwilling to give up White Land City so easily, which would cause the crisis of the Changzong and My Clan, to give up White Land City so easily. Even if there is no result, giving up so easily will bring a big storm to the Changzong and my clan, which is also disastrous for the prestige of the Changzong and my clan.
Gu Zhongcheng was not optimistic about Changzong's proposal to be a pro-chastity, and he knew that the capture of Baidi City was the result of Changzong's dictatorial actions. However, before he could obtain the fruits of victory that the relatives of Changzong and my tribe had sworn to obtain, a big storm came first, and then he gave up Baidi City in vain, which was a huge blow to the prestige of Changzong and my relatives.
The in-laws of Jiangcun sighed and said, "Let's first report the news of the Date family's increase in troops to the lord!" He still agrees with Gu Zhongcheng's proposal in his heart, at least it can be delayed for a while, as long as the head of Changzong and my department can quickly repel the Anyi National Tiger and stabilize the situation in Tosa, and maybe there is a chance to realize the ambition of the head of Changzong and my department, but as a courtier, it is inappropriate for him to intervene in the affairs of Changzong and my clan, not to mention seeing that Changzong and my relatives clearly refuse.
There was despair in the White Ground City. Onishi Castle, Namba Denbei received a message from Shimizu Soji, the most powerful of the three generals of the Shikoku Legion from Noyama Masatomo and the powerful general was Shimizu Soji, and this Shikoku crusade was related to the interests of the Shikoku Legion. For the Shikoku Army, only victory is not allowed to lose, and after the good news of the Battle of Tsuruga came, especially after Katayama Morinaga was rewarded by Echigo and Tsuruga Gunmoru, Shimizu Soji knew Masahiro's intention to form the Shikoku Army.
As the first elder of the Date family and the general of the Shikoku Army, Noyama Masatomo obtained at most one or two enclaves on Shikoku Island after the war, and his most likely hope was to sit in Kyushu for Masahiro and suppress those who disobeyed. So whose jurisdiction will Shikoku Island be? Murakami Tsuyuki was already involved with the Iyo Province Kono family, and Hanafang Masayuki was aggressive in provoking the Tosa civil strife, so naturally he wanted to obtain Tosa Province, so would Awa and Sanki become the jurisdiction of Shimizu Soji?
On the other side of the country is Bishu, which is the fundamental place of the Date family, and the future of the country will definitely belong to the Heavenly Territory, and Shimizu Soji does not dare to hope for it, but the whole country of Awa Country adds up to only a hundred thousand stones, and Shimizu Soji is willing to Apoi Country.
There is a cooperative relationship between the three of the Shikoku Legion and the great general, and it is more of a competitive relationship, Hanafang Masayuki wants to use stratagem to provoke civil strife, and then take advantage of the chaos to win, Shimizu Soji naturally will not make trouble after Noyama Yoshitomo makes a decision, but attacking Baidi Castle is not among them.
Originally, the Namba Denbei went to take over the Hakuchi Castle and was blocked, but now Shimizu Soji secretly sent a message asking the Namba Denbei to attack the Hakuji Castle and trigger the Battle of the White Castle, which can be said to be reasonable, and as for strengthening the defense of Onishi Castle, the main intention was to smoothly cross the White Castle and advance towards Iyo Province after the opening of the White Castle.
Before the autumn harvest, the Shikoku Legion had already been unanimously entered Iyo Province, and if the White Land Castle was not opened before August, then they would consider compromising with the Nagamune and Ibu Yuanqin, which means that the Nagamune and Ibu Yuanqin only need to hold it for ten days.
But can it really be kept? When the Namba Bunbei saw the two cannons sent by Soji Shimizu, he said confidently, "You will definitely be able to break through Hakuji Castle in a short time?" He had seen the power of artillery, and the tens of thousands of troops of Miyoshi Yixian could not resist the power of artillery, and he did not dare to imagine that the small White Earth City and the defenders of no more than a thousand people could withstand the attack of artillery.
On the one hand, he wanted to take Hakuji Castle, a key point in the center of Shikoku Island, as a forward transit point for the advancement of Iyo Province, and on the other hand, he felt that an easy-to-defend castle like Hakuji Castle could not be defeated in a short period of time, and if he could not win, the impact on it would be unbearable.
Therefore, Namba Denbei has been making two preparations, on the one hand, he is actively preparing for the battle in Daisai Castle, not far from Hakuchi Castle, and on the other hand, he informs the rear of what happened in Hakuji Castle and asks for reinforcements from the rear, and Shimizu Soji not only sent him 2,000 men and horses, but also transported two artillery pieces to him.
With 3,000 men and horses, plus two cannons, Namba Denbei was full of confidence, and he immediately set up a fort on the hill opposite the Shirachi Castle, which was built on a high platform formed by the confluence of the Yoshino River and the Maji River, and it was indeed an easy castle to defend and difficult to attack in the cold weapon time, and if you want to attack Shirachi Castle, you need to cross the Yoshino River and the Malu River, so you may be attacked by Banto, but the natives trapped on the island of Shikoku will never know that the world has changed drastically.
The appearance of artillery has changed the rhythm of the battlefield, not to mention that the Date family has always been known for its sharp firearms, and several workshops in the world that make firearms are within the territory of the Date family, and the Namba Denbei has also been allocated hundreds of firearms.
When the Namba Denbei began to set up the forts on the other side of the White Land Castle, the difficulty was to move the artillery onto the forts, which was not much of a problem for the Namba Denbei, who had an advantage in numbers, but it still took a lot of time.
The Date family has increased its troops in the Great West Castle! When the head of the clan who returned to Gangfeng Castle learned the news, he looked at the messenger in disbelief, he was shocked, he was a little unconvinced when he first received the urgent letter of warning from his relatives, but three urgent letters in a row, one more urgent than the other, made him believe that the Date family would not compromise.
However, the head of the Nagazong department looked at Yasuchi Nakayamada in front of him, and his face became very ugly.
Zhongshan Tian Taiji knelt on the ground and bowed: "An Yi Guohu raised 2,000 troops to surround the city of Xiangzong and my department, and the city of Xiangzong is in danger, please send troops to rescue!" "When he said this, he almost cried, the garrison of Xiangzong's city is only three hundred, and it is impossible to defend it on his own, and only by asking the Zong family for rescue can he get out of the crisis.
Xiangzong and my city must be rescued, the city lord of this Xiangzong and my city is the third brother of Changzong and my family, and the second brother of Changzong and my family are the right-hand men of Changzong and my family, assisting Yuanqin in the southern and northern wars.
Nakayama Tian Taiji looked helplessly at the head of Changzong and my department, and said in an inaudible voice: "My lord, please save my city of Xiangzong, An Yi Guohu is the biggest enemy!" β
The expression of the head of the Changzong clan quickly changed from shock to coldness, and he just looked at Nakayama Tian Taiji coldly, and said, "You should remember why you changed your surname to Nakayama Tian, and you, as a member of the Xiangzong family, should now do what a person from the Xiangzong family should do, instead of questioning the policies of the family?!" β
Nakayama Tian Taiji was originally supposed to be called Xiangzong I Taiji, and his uncle Xiu was the head of the Xiangzong I tribe, but after the death of the grandson Xiuyi, he changed his younger brother Xiutong as the heir, but after the Changzong I Department was strong, the family Xiu wanted to welcome the country and the three men as adopted sons. This incident aroused strong opposition from Xiutong, which eventually led to the brothers turning against each other, and Xiutong assassinated his brother Qinxiu. After that, Changzong and my country attacked and killed Xiutong in the name of revenge, and the third son Qintai became the head of the Xiangzong family.
Zhongshan Tian Taiji moved to Zhongshan Tian, in order to distinguish himself from the Zong family, he changed his surname to Zhongshan Tian, and Changzong and Xiangzong did not kill him in consideration of the issue of righteousness, and let him assist Qin Thai as the elder of the family.
Nakayama Tian Tai Gino retreated, but when he looked back, his face was full of gloom, you must know that he should have been the legitimate heir of the Xiangzong Ibu clan, with the blood of the Xiangzong Ibu clan flowing on his body, and he had to face the son of the enemy who killed his father every day.
Nakayama Tian Taiji thought in his heart: "It's time to restore the Xiangzong clan." (To be continued.) )
