Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Morale is an ethereal thing, it is said that it does not exist, it cannot be touched and seen, it is indeed stored in it, it is a kind of active motivation to maintain volitional behavior, and its role is to stimulate people's potential physiological and psychological energy such as body, energy, and ability.
The two or three thousand Nizi troops who stayed on Guanyin Mountain changed their flags when they saw Saeki and the seven hundred cavalry of the Date Army rushing to the front, they originally thought of resisting to the death, but when they saw that Nizi Haruhisa and Nizi Yoshihisa, father and son, had become prisoners, the morale that had finally been mustered up plummeted all of a sudden, and they could no longer make any resistance, so they obediently threw down their armor and weapons and sat aside and waited for the Date Army to dispose of them.
Uyama Kukane closed his eyes and tried to adjust his chaotic breathing, every qiē was fate, he had never been so flustered as he was now. He never dreamed that Niko Haruha, who had just taken over the position of guardian of the Eight Kingdoms from the shogun a few years ago, and who had regained his position at the pinnacle of the Niko clan, was now reduced to a prisoner of the lower ranks, and was reduced to a room with lowly criminals.
Uyama Kukan's last bit of begging and the idea of begging was also ruthlessly cut off by the cavalry troops of the Date army, originally he still wanted to rely on the two or three thousand defenders on Mount Kannon to block the attack of the Date army, and then wait for the 12,000 Nizi army that rushed into the Tenjin Mountain Castle to burn and loot to withdraw from the battlefield, and to negotiate with Date Masahiro to redeem Nizi Haruhisa, Yoshihisa and other cadres, etc., I didn't expect that Masahiro did not have any delay at all, and quickly sent out all the integrated cavalry troops, with Nizi Haruhisa, The two captives of Yoshihisa, father and son, were shown to the nuns on Guanyin Mountain, and then there was a farce of collective surrender.
The essential difference between the Warring States Period of the Wa Kingdom and the Warring States Period of China is that the more people fight, the more people fight. A hundred years of war. In the end, the population doubled. It is enough to see that the form of the joint war is not as cruel as China, burning, killing and looting are sometimes alive, but there is no such tragedy, the incident of pit killing is unimaginable, Takeda Shingen finally carried out a massacre and immediately fell into the quagmire in Shinano, Takeda Katsuyori became his actual heir, in essence, it was also a kind of thinking to appease the Shinano people.
Niko Haruma's army is not very strong in combat, and it is really willing to fight in battle. In addition to the Shingu Party, it was the Izumo Legion that he personally led, such as the Boqi Legion, which was the first to disperse when Niko Haruha fell into a decisive battle.
Most of the nunzi army on Guanyin Mountain belonged to the second-line troops, and such samurai and miscellaneous soldiers naturally did not have the combat effectiveness of the first-line troops.
The morale of Mount Kannon plummeted, and the 12,000 Nizi army who attacked the Tenjin Mountain Castle was no better, because most of the people who followed Niko Yoshihisa were Misaku who came with them, and they fought bravely to kill the enemy after hearing the rumors of Nizi Haruhisa's victory over Date Masahiro, and now when they saw a group of neatly dressed people rushing over with the banner of the Date Army, it should be a big shock, especially when they haven't reacted yet. The Nizidu clan that remained on Guanyin Mountain surrendered without resistance.
Frightened, depressed. Panic, incredible, and so on, seeing that the Date army began to set up outside the Tenjin Mountain Castle with neat steps, it was obvious that the Date army's plan was to block the way out of the Tenjin Mountain Castle and completely block their back road.
Don't forget it, the Nizi army has just been the besieging party, and the food brought is stored on Guanyin Mountain, and the granary of Tianshen Mountain City has already been burned down in the offensive and defensive battles between the two sides.
The overlord of Tosakushu, the three-star city lord Goto Katsuki, stood solemnly on the castle tower with a sword, looking down at the soldiers in the three pills with an expressionless face, and the ordinary soldiers were crying, roaring, jumping and scolding, and scurrying, and they had become a pot of porridge. Witnessing the appearance of ordinary soldiers, Goto Katsuki's face was expressionless, full of indifference and ruthlessness, but his heart was also full of surprise and incredulity.
Niko Haruhisa, in the eyes of Goto Katsuki, is also a difficult to defeat. Although the Misaku Goto clan had established the hegemony of Higashi Misaku in his hands, eliminated the old enemy Tateishi clan, and the neighboring local tyrants such as Anton, Emi, Mizushima, and Kosakata were all at his disposal, he still did not dare to face Niko Haruma. After the order of Niko Haruhisa to expedition to Bizen Urakami Munekyo was issued a month ago, Goto Katsuki responded positively, not only contributing money and food, but also personally leading 2,000 troops to follow the expedition.
The Mimasaka Goto clan only fought against the Niko clan after the fall of Niko Haruhisa, and finally fell to the castle under the attack of the Ukita Naoka.
Emi Hisamori and Miura Sadamori and other leaders of the beautiful people came to the castle tower one after another, and saw Goto Katsuki standing expressionlessly, everyone's faces were not good-looking, and they all stepped forward to invite Goto Katsuki to discuss what to do in the future? No matter how desperately you work in the United States, in the face of the invaders of the United States, everyone can breathe out of one nostril and fight side by side.
Due to the lack of a strong Sengoku daimyo in Misasaka during this period, of course, a strong local force has gradually formed with Emi, Miura, Goto and other forces, among which Emi mainly relies on the Niko clan, and the Miura clan is the main suppression force of the Niko clan, and now Takada Castle, the residence of Uyama Kukane, is itself the base of the Miura clan, and there is also the semi-subordinate and semi-independent Goto clan. It can be said that due to the lack of powerful daimyo in the Mimasaka country of this period, the main approach was to subordinate the powerful Sengoku daimyo in the vicinity, which is now the Niko clan, and later after the decline of the Niko clan, he took refuge in Bizen Urakami, and then Ukita.
Goto Katsuki nodded undeniably, and then cleared a space and came out, and started the meeting, and the people who had a certain right to speak must have at least a thousand or more soldiers, so the number of people in the meeting was not very large, that is, seven or eight people, and the others could only be represented.
Jiang Jian Jiusheng's face was pale, he actively responded to the call of Nizi Qingjiu to go out to prepare for the battle, recruited nearly 4,000 soldiers and horses, the most active when attacking the city, and also suffered the most casualties, and now there are only more than 3,000 soldiers and horses left, if it weren't for the rumors and Nizi Qingjiu's obscenity, I am afraid that it would have collapsed long ago. He said bitterly: "We have to withdraw the people from the city quickly, and when the Date army blocks the way, it will be over." ”
When the grumpy Suga family member Arimoto Safang heard Emi Hisamori's nonsense, he couldn't help but want to open his mouth and scold, gritted his teeth and shouted: "It's all messed up now, it will take almost a day or two to gather them all, not to mention rushing out, how much time can Date Army give us?" ”
Ping and Dang Takeuchi Hisamori said indifferently: "When the interruption continues, but suffer from the chaos, at this time, there can be no delay, now Nizi Qingjiu, Yoshihisa father and son are difficult to protect, let's escape back to the United States first?" "Pinghe Party has always been a maverick, this expedition is more of a misjudgment of the shape shì, thinking that he can make a lot of money to recruit and go on the expedition, in fact, most of the ideas of the beautiful local tyrants are the same as the ideas of Pinghe Party, no one will cater to Nizi Haruhisa for no reason, all for their own interests.
Goto Katsuki, who had not spoken, looked at everyone and said, "Even if you flee back to the country of Misaku, it's better to say that how many families will perish along the way, have you thought about it?" If we don't do it well, we'll all have to die, is it worth it? ”
Is it worth it?
In a word, everyone was silent, even Emi Hisamori, who had taken refuge in the Nizi clan the deepest, did not say a word, obviously thinking about this shallow and easy to see question. Everyone clings to Nizi Qingjiu just because Nizi Qingjiu is strong, and they don't want to watch their family die and the clan be wiped out.
Seeing that everyone acquiesced, Goto Katsuki continued: "No matter who wants to rule Mimasaka Province, they have to rely on us natives, whether it is the former Akamatsu clan or the current Niko clan, return to Mimasakaku safely first, and wait for a safe return to the country." As long as we have soldiers in our hands, neither the Nizi clan nor the Date clan can do anything to us. ”
That's right! Goto Katsuki's words were echoed by everyone again, in the case of the defeat of Niko Haruhisa and Yoshihisa, there is no need for Misaku to continue fighting for them, since there is no way to escape, then there is only one way to surrender.
The decision of the meeting was quickly publicized, and it did not cause a huge riot, but what should be done, some greedy soldiers continued to burn, kill and loot, but the soldiers besieging the castle tower began to retreat, and did not continue the siege, so that Noonhara Keono, who wanted to cut his abdomen for the rest of his life, could breathe, and also made the surrendered Ukita Naoya and others panic.
Zheng Heng didn't go to meet his father-in-law, Uyama Hisaka, he still has a lot of things to do, at least there are still a large number of time bombs in Tianshen Mountain City, if you don't quickly solve the more than 10,000 Nizi army in Tianshen Mountain City, give the other party a little respite, the consequences are unimaginable.
Just as Zhengheng integrated his troops and horses to besiege Tianshen Mountain City, the city gate was opened, and more than 20 people ran out of the city, shouting for one person: "Don't fight!" Don't hit! We have fallen! This person is Katsuki Goto, who made an impassioned speech, and all the people who came with him were the best of the people in Misasakaku.
Kakuro Hengxin complimented Masahiro: "Yesterday's battle, the Izumo Legion only had a fighting army left in the Shingu Party, and today's battle, Misaku is all in one net, as the ruler of Bizen, Bichu, Bigo, and Misasaka Shikoku, Your Highness, please ask the imperial court and the shogunate to discuss the establishment of the government." ”
The generals chimed in.
The four kingdoms of Bizen, Bichu, Bigo, and Misaku were all divided from the Kogibi Kingdom, and before the partition, there were the official positions of Kibi Kunimori, Kibi Dazai, and Kibi Commander-in-Chief, and the diplomatic and military tasks of many sub-countries under the general jurisdiction. At present, the main territory under the jurisdiction of Shohyun is in the area of Kojibi Province, and the establishment of the government is one of the three official positions that have been re-established to the imperial court and the shogunate.
