Judging from others, as Zhengheng stepped up the construction of a camp in Lianggong Mountain City, it has already been explained that the Date Army is preparing to fight against the Nizi army who entered the army in Kantian, and with the continuous expansion of Lianggong Mountain City, Zhengheng seems to be calmer and calmer, no matter his expression or behavior, there is nothing abnormal, and he is not even as excited as going out to hunt, he is not a person who likes hunting. In fact, the balance is not as calm as it seems. This is a decisive battle with Haruhisa Niko, who has few rivals in the Chugoku region and has inherited his grandfather Niko's long-lasting "Yin and Yang One Taishou", and if there is a slight mistake in command, it may bring disaster to the Date family.
The number of troops initially mobilized by Zhengheng was 3,600 people, and these people would be the main force against Niko Haruhisa, and they were also the elite that he could rely on.
The rest of the 2,500 people led by Ishikawa Hissataka and Ueki Hideshi, the Date family dominates Bei China, and the rest of the families have all been thrown into the arms of the Date family and become the retainers of the Date family because they have just ended the war with Mori Moto in Bigo Kingdom, so that most of the combat power of the Date family has to be invested in stabilizing the situation in Bigo Kingdom, so that Masahiro can use far less troops than Niko Haruhisa.
There are also Iga Kutaka who led 1,200 people to help in the war, Kanegawa Castle was guarded by his uncle Iga Sadazuna, Iga Kutaka is a decisive and decisive figure, since he has embarked on the road of no return to kill the deceased master, there is no way back, secretly throwing himself into Niko Haruhisa will only be self-inflicted, it is better to fight to the death in the open, he may be more warlike than Ishikawa Hisataka and Ueki Hidezu.
The three forces of Jinguang Zonggao, Susuki Toyozen, and Sosho Mototsune mobilized a total of 1,500 people to help in the battle, and instead of coming voluntarily, it was better that Zhengheng was not at ease and handed over the back road to them, so he half-forced them to come with him.
Jin Guangzong Gao, Susu Mu Fengzen, and Suisho Yuanchang were originally a group of wall grasses that fell with the wind. Now Niko Haruhisa is powerful. It has the ability to sweep away the hostile forces of Bizen Kunichi. It's strange not to turn against each other when the political balance situation is unfavorable.
At the front of the Lianggong Mountain Castle, the number of people who could be used by Zhengheng to directly participate in the battle was 8,800 people, and the 13,000 Nizi Haruhisa was not at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, in fact, with the construction of Zhengheng's camp in the Lianggong Mountain Castle, he also began to mobilize the people of Bizhong to enter the country of Bigo. Ninjayama Castle was guarded by Kakuro Hengtada, Okayama Castle was guarded by Tanaka Naoshige, Akimi Castle was guarded by Takenoi Harutaka, Funayama Castle was guarded by Susuki Shiro Guard, and Ryunnoguchi Castle was guarded by Hosho Motocho. Naoshige Tanaka is the lord of the lost castle near the Noyama Villa, the hometown of the Date clan, and has an in-law relationship with the previous Date Soheng, and his mother is the cousin of Date Soheng; Harutaka Takenoi was originally a powerful countryman who was close to the Mimura family, and the lord of Osamaru Castle. Masahiro defeated the Mimura family and threw himself into the Date family, and his father Takenoi was high in seclusion, and Takenoi Harugao was higher than the Shiida family; Susuki Shiro Bei is the former son-in-law of Susuki Toyoma, who is only sixteen years old; The head of the institute is the elder brother of the elder brother of the institute.
When Masahiro was busy deploying troops and building the castle, Niko Haruhisa also did not relax in the slightest, and while learning the signal of the decisive battle of Masahiro, he also stepped up his urging of the army to cross Akapan County to Kanda and start a battle with Date's army.
Duel, as the name suggests, is a battle or battle in which the main forces of the opposing sides are used to decide the outcome of the battle. Due to the size and number of people, the meaning of extending in the Warring States period of the Wa Kingdom evolved into a joint war, and often the battle and the joint war were combined. It refers to meeting and engaging enemy forces at the expected time and place, and the victory or defeat in the Wa Kingdom can often be decided in a single day, such as the Battle of Sekigahara, which decided the ownership of the world, was decided in one day on September 15.
It is also unreasonable for Date Masahiro to be accused of being "inhuman" by traditional samurai and hostile forces, often attacking suddenly without informing the enemy, informing the enemy to attack in advance, and even failing to arrive within the time limit, and suddenly attacking when the enemy withdraws to achieve the final victory.
It's said that he will fight with Niko Haruhisa in Kanda three days later, and if you believe his nonsense, then there is a ghost, but Niko Haruhisa who came from afar obviously no one will sue him, and the Date Masaki he has to face is a complete villain.
The Shinmi Sadatsune, who had suffered a big loss in politics, and the Mimura family all fled to An Yi country, and with the defeat of Maori Moto, he disappeared into the wilderness, and Maori Yuan, who was ruthlessly put together, would not be so kind to Nizi Haruhisa to participate in the painting, and the others were all small people, far from being able to speak in front of Nizi Haruhisa.
As the vanguard of the Date family settled in Kamihito Castle, which was closer to Kanda, they began to build a fortification outside Kamihito Castle, looking at three or four thousand people from a distance, and risking their lives to sneak into the front of the horse, carefully distinguishing that there were many false erections of flags, and at least more than 1,000 people were visually inspected. Guan Jiangqi learned that the vanguard of this road is still the so-called four-color yellow bei of the Date family, which is the most elite unit of the Date family, and is often the main battle soldier of Date Zhengheng.
Kamihito Hojo Castle is a small castle, but it is the closest to Okubo Castle and is a sub-castle of Taki no Castle, which was originally a branch of Taki no Castle before Iga Kutaka's father Katsutaka moved to Torakura Castle, but now it has become the first line of defense for Date Castle.
There are many people in the army who say: There are thousands of people at once, and there is no shore. Niko Haruhisa divided his troops to attack, and there were still more than 13,000 soldiers and horses under his command, saying that it was crossing Akaban County, but in fact, Niko Haruhisa himself was still resting in Yubi Hot Spring, not far from Inamaki.
A few days ago, the news of Niko's death in the battle of Eagle Mountain Castle came, coupled with the cold wind, the root of the illness that had fallen in the battle of Yamajo in Yoshida County was restored again, and the slightly burned Niko Haruhisa had to follow the advice of the military doctor to recuperate in Yufu Hot Spring.
Niko Haruhisa, who has always been idle, has always wanted to leave Yufu Onsen and go to the front line to fight with Date Masahiro for 300 rounds, and won the final victory in one fell swoop, but his body still hasn't slowed down, and the fever can't go away, and he can't wait to walk around when he gets better today.
A close attendant came to report: "Matsuda Commander and Ushio Enoemori-samaru have arrived from Sakoya's camp. ”
Niko Haruhisa heard that Matsuda Seiho and Ushio Yukiyo were coming together, and couldn't help but smile slightly, although he hadn't seen the two yet, but he had already known their intentions, the date and place of Date Masahiro's decisive battle had been set, and it was obvious that he came to compete to be the vanguard.
The Boqi Kingdom is the territory of the Shingu Party, and it is obviously impossible for Nizi Haruhisa to go out to prepare for the former country to leave any additional troops for the Shingu Party, so he recruited 5,000 people to go out together, and handed it over to Ushio Yukiyo, who received more than 10,000 stones, and Ushio Yukiyo knew that his reputation among the Boqi people was not high, and he wanted to gain military merits in the upcoming battle to improve his status.
The Ten Banners of Nizi are composed of the ten main branches of the defense of Tsukiyama Tomita Castle, all of which have an unclear relationship with the Nizi clan, but they were shaken in the last battle of Tsukiyama Tomita Castle, and after the war, they were ruthlessly purged by Nizi Haruhisa, which made the Shingu Party dominant. Matsuda Seiho, as the head of the Nizi Ten Banners, has the responsibility to revitalize the Nizi Ten Banners, and after seeing the bad relations between Nizi Haruma and the Shingu Party, he stood by the side of Nizi Haruma.
Washiyama Castle died in the battle of Niko Jingzhen, and the forces under the command of Niko Haruhisa couldn't raise their heads, giving Niko Ten Banners and Ushio Yukiyoshi a chance, but the first credit for the capture of Washiyama Castle fell on the head of the Takada people led by Uyama Hisaka, and it made him the deputy general of Niko Yoshihisa to attack Tenjin Mountain Castle.
In the upcoming showdown, Matsuda Seiho and Ushio Kokiyo have countless reasons to fight for the top credit. Of course, Niko Haruhisa is also happy to see the existence of this kind of competition, and after the relationship with the Shingu Party becomes worse, he also needs to have an army that challenges the status of the Shingu Party, so as not to make the Shingu Party dominant, and he is not completely ready to turn against the Shingu Party now.
Matsuda Seiho and Ushio Kokiyo didn't let each other go, scrambling to break into the wooden house, a burst of warmth swept over, and saw that in the mist, Niko Haruhisa was wearing a white kimono sitting on a stone bench drinking tea, they obviously didn't expect Niko Haruhisa to be so leisurely, but it also made the two of them relax.
Matsuda Seiho saw that Ushio Yukiyo wanted to speak, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, more than 1,000 of the vanguard of the Date Army have been stationed in Kaminito Castle, and Date Koji obviously sees that Okubo Castle and Hut Valley Castle have already thrown themselves into us, and took the opportunity to seize Kaminito Castle. ”
Nizi Qingjiu didn't look back, pointed to the other two stone benches and said, "Sit down, take a sip of tea, and dissipate the smoke." As he spoke, he took a sip of tea, watched the two of them sit still, and then asked, "What flag did you plant?" ”
Matsuda Seiho hurriedly replied: "It's Date Koer's yellow preparation, the yellow flag is planted, and the leader is the general Katayama Moricho, who is from Misaku Kunizabi and others, with more than 1,000 people, and is expanding the camp, and has a posture of defending to the end." "Although I look down on Date Mashiro, I know a thing or two about the characters of the Date family.
Ushio Yukiyo saw that Matsuda Seiho didn't continue, and hurriedly said: "This yellow Bei is very daring to fight, the last will be in battle, four scouts dare to dive closer, and see that the yellow Beizhong shot several feather arrows, and shot down three of our scouts one after another, and the other escaped back with serious injuries, only to learn the number of soldiers and horses in the city." ”
Nizi Qingjiu narrowed his eyes, looked at the tea in the cup for a while, the mist was misty, his face didn't know whether he was happy or worried, and said: "Huang Bei has always been the main battle of Date Xiao'er, a total of about 2,500 people, this time he suddenly sent more than 1,000 troops, it seems that he really wants to fight me to the death!" Ping and Zhong have a character, is there a way to adjust his defection? ”
Matsuda Seiho shook his head slightly and said: "His Majesty once asked Takeuchi Hisamori, the leader of the Ping and the people in the Eagle Mountain camp, according to him, Katayama Moricho was originally from the Ping and kinship, and later moved to Bizen Province due to family turmoil. Katayama Moricho and his son Shiro Bei are deeply valued by Date Children, and his son Shiro Bei is the captain of Date Children's Guard, responsible for Date Children's safety, and it is difficult to make him defect in a short period of time.
