Chapter 15: Self-Help (2)

Akechi Mitsuhide left enough notoriety in history, mainly because the Honnoji Incident caused the demise of his benefactor Oda Nobunaga, and he was called the Great Villain, but before the Honnoji Change, no one thought that Akechi Mitsuhide would rebel. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The change of Honnoji Temple can be said to be a stain left by Wise Mitsuhide to the world, and later people will say that Wise Mitsuhide is a disloyal, but Wise Mitsuhide still has some personal charm in the end, otherwise there would not be so many people willing to follow him on the road of no return. After the death of Akechi Mitsuhide, there are still many people who are willing to be buried in his tomb, which is enough to show that Akechi Mitsuhide is still quite popular, reflecting Oda Nobunaga's injustice from the side.

Of course, history is history, this time and space are back to this time and space, in this time and space Wise Mitsuhide did not meet with his good friend Oda Nobunaga, but followed Ashikaga Yoshiteru, although Ashikaga Yoshiki has such and such shortcomings, but he still treats Wise Mitsuhide is still full of favor, otherwise he would not have handed over most of the people to his hands, and entrusted his life and death to the hands of Wise Mitsuhide. Ashikaga Yoshiki trusts him so much, but how does Akechi Mitsuhide repay Ashikaga Yoshiteru.

Ashikaga Yoshiki was defeated and killed in Mt. Hiei, ninety percent of the responsibility lies with Akechi Mitsuhide, if it weren't for Akechi Mitsuhide suddenly withdrawing from the battlefield with the main force, where would he be defeated, even if he couldn't resist the pace of Honganji's attack in the end, he could retreat to Omi with the soldiers and horses in his hand, and win a good place.

Now the halo on the head of Akechi Mitsuhide has dissipated, and the loyal ministers have become a joke, whether it is external or internal, Achichi Mitsuhide's personal charm has been greatly weakened, and even Mizoo Shigeru is a diehard loyalist who should have gone all the way to the black, and now he wants to leave a way back in the face of life and death, let alone others.

The corners of Mizuo Shigeru's eyes twitched slightly, and he asked, "This is a good way, what do you think?" He forced himself to scan the crowd calmly, but no one answered. Mizoo Shigerao's question is very difficult to answer, who knows what Mizuo Shigerao's mind is thinking, who knows if it will be another trap, once he comes out but falls into the trap, even if he jumps into Ise Bay, he can't wash it clean, and now he is still silent, and it is better to wait and see what it becomes.

Mizoo Shigeru asked again, "What do you think?" ”

Shigeru Mizoo stared at everyone with blazing eyes. All the people hung their heads and said nothing, and no one answered.

Mizuo Shigeru knew everyone's thoughts, and seeing that no one came out, he first ordered his cronies to watch the door, and then whispered: "I know everyone's thoughts clearly, I'll talk about my thoughts here first, I don't want to stay in Ise Country anymore." Also, I will make it clear here that if you don't want to leave with us, I will put him under house arrest for three days, and then let you leave. Those who are willing to leave with us should raise their hands now. ”

As he spoke, Mizoo Shigeru raised his hand.

Seeing Mizoo Shigeru raise his hand, everyone raised their hands, but some of them scolded in their hearts: "You Mizoo Shigeru is stupid to be Lao Tzu?" At this time, when you are a bird, you say that you will be under house arrest for three days, and who knows if you will change your mind within three days. ”

Now everyone knows that Ise Country can't hold it, and they run to Date's house to be traitors, and they also know that Date's family is afraid that they won't take them in, and even if they do, they, who hold military power, will be monitored, and if they don't make a mistake, they will be cut down.

Mizuo Shigeru saw that everyone raised their hands, and most of his heart was relieved, but he also felt a sadness on the side. The Date army moved too fast, and the battle of Kumoidegawa broke their backbones, and Mizoo Shigerao's eyes opened again with a heavy heart, and his hands were clasped to his chest. This is a war of great disparity in power, and the situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse, and there is only one way to survive.

Mizuo Shigeru closed his eyes slightly and said, "In this case, the only way to do this is to gather the ships from all over the country and seek a way to survive. ”

When Mizoo Shigeru was trying to find a way to survive, the battle of Kameyama Castle also entered a climax.

Ise Kameyama Castle is located in Ise Wakayama, a key pass connecting and Tokaido, and its geographical location is very important, and it was originally the domain of Sekishin Shengde, the leader of the Ise people. The reason why Guan Xinsheng fell into the city was because he fell for the strategy of Akechi Mitsuhide's lure and led most of his men to attack Akechi Mitsuhide's bait, and was ambushed, so he died, and then lost Kameyama City.

Kameyama Castle is also one of the most famous Hirayama castles in Ise and is a castle built on the top of Wakayama, but the west and east of the castle are open areas that seem to be undefendable, but a large number of turrets and earthen ramparts have been built, making any attempt to attack the castle gate costly. Miyazawa Heihachi did not come in Akechi Mitsuhide, and the sneak attack on Kameyama Castle was to break through from the east of the city, and in the case of successfully breaking the Ohira Gate and attacking Higashisanomaru, he was counterattacked by Kameyama Castle, and he had to withdraw from Kameyama Castle after more than 100 casualties.

Having learned the lesson of the failed sneak attack, Heihachi Miyazawa decisively gave up the idea of a quick victory after learning the information that Akechi Mitsuhide had led the main force into Kameyama Castle. Instead, Miyazawa Heihachi had the idea of containing Akechi Mitsuhide in Kameyama Castle, and then dividing his troops to attack other castles. Relying on the superiority of numbers and logistics, the Date army quickly drove the Akechi army into Kameyama Castle and forced the Akechi army to abandon several branch cities outside the castle, and the move of seizing the branch cities of Kameyama Castle to a certain extent made Akechi Mitsuhide of Kameyama Castle lose the possibility of maintaining contact with various parts of Ise.

Taking advantage of the superiority in numbers and the superiority of firearms, Miyazawa Heihachi also used the method of digging trenches to approach the Higashimomaru Daiheimon Gate of Kameyama Castle step by step, using the method of trenches to cover his own firearms troops and delay the enemy's counterattack. They were now more than 300 meters away from the main wall of Kameyama Castle East no Maru, dug the first parallel trench, and through this parallel trench towards the main wall of the defenders, they dug another zigzag trench until this zigzag trench extended under the main city wall.

Under the cover of artillery and arquebuses, and after paying hundreds of casualties, the Date army finally dug a second parallel trench, and at this time, the closest point to the main wall of Kameyama Castle Higashi no Maru was less than 100 meters, a distance that was enough to kill and injure both bows and firearms.

Heihachi Miyazawa looked at the island-like Kameyama Castle with a relaxed smile on his face.
