Chapter 18: The Beginning of an Interesting Battle

Two days after Ueno Castle sent reinforcements, according to Miyoshi Nagaharu's words, the Miyoshi family's army totaled 20,000 people who had completed the pre-war general mobilization at the fastest speed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoStarting from Miyoshi Home Castle Katsurui City, we slowly moved in the direction of Awa-gun.

After more than half a day, I finally came to the territory of Kagawa's family.

When he came to Ueno Castle, Miyoshi Nagaji was still a little worried, if the Kuroda family was still on the outskirts of Ueno Castle, then how should he command his command to attack! Rush straight up? Maybe the Kuroda family is tired after the attack in the past few days! If the Kuroda family's army is really a tired army now, then he may not have no chance.

Think about it, if you can defeat Kuroda Vocational High School in this place, who has never lost again, then wouldn't you want to become a famous general like your uncle (Miyoshi Chokei)? The more Miyoshi Changji thought about it, the more excited he became, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, and his face flushed a little on the horse.

It's a pity that some things backfired, and Miyoshi Nagaji soon got the news from the front. The Kuroda family, knowing that the Miyoshi family's army was coming, had lifted the siege of Kagawa's Ueno Castle at noon that day. And he retreated five miles and went to the Riseki Valley on the border of Sanki Province and Awa Province. In addition, the army of the Kuroda family has already set up its own camp on the mountain in the area of the Hiseki Valley, and the army is lined up along the Otakakagawa River, preparing to meet the arrival of the army of the Miyoshi family.

"As soon as the army of the main family arrived, the Kuroda family retreated five miles, it seems that the Kuroda family is afraid!" Miyoshi Nagaji said excitedly on the horse.

"The elder brother is right, the samurai and soldiers of the Kuroda family are also people, the Kuroda family is really afraid of us, then their morale must not be high, this time we will win" Shihe Deposit Insurance also seemed more excited.

The two Miyoshi Changzhi brothers shouted very loudly, and because they were children, their voices were very crisp, and they sounded pretty good. But the people under his command looked at them like fools, and they didn't react at all, they just watched, and not even one shouted.

"We will win, and the three good families will win." Miyoshi shouted again.

At this time, the soldiers below shouted weakly, "must win", "must win", "must win", "must win" and "must win"

The two children don't know much about military affairs, but most of the people below are old fritters on the battlefield. The biggest reason why the Kuroda family retreated was to avoid contact with the Miyoshi family at the first time, so that they were caught between the Miyoshi family and the Kagawa family in the city. At the same time, it is also to find a more favorable terrain and take a simple rest before the arrival of Miyoshiya. It's not like the two brothers said that they were afraid of the Miyoshi family, if they were really afraid, the Kuroda family would not have come to the territory of Awa with a large army.

No matter what the Miyoshi Changji brothers and the people below think, now a big battle between the Kuroda family and the Miyoshi family is already in front of us, and this is what everyone in the Miyoshi family is most concerned about now.

It's just that the two brothers of Miyoshi Nagaji have one regret, that is, Ueno Castle is still there, it is still from the Kagawa family, and it was not captured by the Kuroda family. They may be even happier if Ueno Castle were captured by the Kuroda family and the Kagawa family was wiped out.

Miyoshi Nagaji suddenly regretted it at this time, and he knew that the Kuroda family would not be able to capture Ueno Castle, so he didn't send the two of them to support. He was thinking that if it weren't for their three hundred people, maybe Ueno Castle would have been captured by the Kuroda family a long time ago! What a shame.

Miyoshi Nagaharu did not enter Ueno Castle, but instead set his camp on the wilderness between Ueno Castle and Hiseki Valley. The reason for not entering the city, Miyoshi Nagaji said that it was to defeat the Kuroda family in one go, as for what he actually thinks, who knows, maybe he is just afraid that Kagawa will kill himself! Before the war, Miyoshi Nagaji still wanted to guard against his own people, which made many of the retainers under the Miyoshi family very disappointed. Although it was indeed being repaired, many of the samurai and soldiers seemed relatively silent, and the morale of everyone in the entire camp was not very high.

"It seems that this Miyoshi Nagaji doesn't trust Kagawa no Jing!" Kuroda Vocational High School said with a smile when he looked at the main camp tent of the Miyoshi family from the main camp on the mountain on the right side of the Hiseki Valley.

"I want to borrow a knife to kill someone, but the person I want to kill doesn't die, of course Miyoshi Nagaji has to guard against the scenery of Kagawa, otherwise it will be interesting to enter Ueno Castle and be killed himself." Kuriyama said.

"Yes, indeed! It's just like this, isn't it just the same as the young master expected? Inoue said.

"Then let's have a good fight with the Miyoshi family!" Kuroda Vocational High School pointed in the direction of Miyoshi's family and said loudly.

"Hey!" A few young men in the back echoed loudly.

On March 26, 1568, the 11th year of Eiroku, a battle of 32,000 men from both sides of the Awa Plain was about to begin on the north-central plains of Awa County.

On one side is Miyoshi Nagaji, who is full of self-confidence, and on the other hand, Kuroda Vocational High School, who is also full of self-confidence, and the two sides have set up positions early.

Yahachi Dohi and Miyata Mitsuji took 2,000 people as the left wing of the army, and the right flank was the 2,000 people of the Ando family led by Moriyoshi Ando. Takemori Jisada, Kinugasa Keihiro, Kiriyama Nobuyuki, and Takehisa Geriya served as reserves, with 2,000 people waiting in the main formation, and Kuriyama Riyasu, Dawn Kuniliang, and Inoue Noribo took a hundred castle mountain castle guards battalions to protect Kuroda Vocational High School in this formation.

At the forefront of the Miyoshi family is the cannon fodder led by the Hosokawa clan and Hosokawa Yorihiro, and then the real vanguard led by Shichijo Kanenaka. Later, there were teams from the Noguchi family, the Kankawa family, and the Nara family as support.

On the left flank were the people of Sanuki Province led by Saito Shigo and Yoshida Kanejin, as well as some Awaji people with a total of 3,000 people; On the right flank were 5,000 people from Awa Province led by Ogasawara Narisuke.

The Chinese army was led by Miyoshi Nagaji, Shihe Depository, Miyoshi Sanzhong, Noguchi Fudanaga and others, and the original Miyoshi family elite 12,000 people.
