Chapter Eighty-Nine: Who Surrounds Whom?
After the entire Kotera family's team was completely slaughtered, the Kotera clan's vocational army brigade in the front and rear directions, as well as the Kuno Shigesei army, began to attack the army of the Ichijo sect. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Kuno Shigesei's team, from the rear of the Ichisho sect, went straight to the back of his army. The reason why I chose to set up an ambush in Hino is because there is a lot of grass and trees here, which is just suitable for the hiding of the army; Second, this is the only way for the Tsuyo sect to lead to Yagi Castle; The third is that this is a valley, which is very suitable for a combined attack on the army of the Sect.
If it were to be changed at random, the samurai who were still relatively experienced in military strength would not be able to fall into the dangerous situation that the team of the Tsuyozong sect was in now. However, now that the Ichijo clan has followed the script written by the Kodera clan before, in the narrow terrain of the Hino region, the 10,000 people of the Ichijo sect are surrounded by 5,400 people of the Kodera family.
It stands to reason that if you want to surround the other party, you should at least have about several times the number of people on the other side to have such courage. Even with the help of powerful terrain to launch a surprise attack, it would be at least a fair number of people. And the reason why the Kodera clan dared to use more than 5,000 people to surround the Ichijo sect with twice the number of people was that he had great confidence in the combat effectiveness of the Kuroda family.
You may ask why there are only 900 people on the east and west sides, because both sides are mountainous, and the terrain is extremely steep, you only need to rely on the terrain to block the Yixiang Sect.
The Kodera clan took the forces of Nikaido Hideka, Higashihata Sadataka, Ogami Kaami, Yoshida Resei, Yamawaki Rokuro Saemon, Eda Zenbei and other retainers, wealthy clans, and people of the country, and rushed towards Ichijomune.
The head of the Kodera family, Kodera Clan, who has now reached the age of fifteen, saw that he was wearing red bronze armor, a pincer-shaped horn standing pocket, a big red Himeji Jinhaori, holding a hundred iron katana in his hand, and a jujube red war horse with a divine horse in his crotch, which looked very powerful.
The horse under the Kodera clan is a horse that Kuroda Vocational High School specially gave him when he married Miaoharu. This horse was not a war horse that had been domesticated in several horse farms, but a horse that Zhang Jiangfu had just acquired from the Jianzhou Jurchens before he got married.
Although this horse is not a thousand-mile horse, it is definitely a high-grade war horse, and even Kuroda Vocational High School himself is only a war horse of the same grade, and the value of this gift can also be reflected.
The katana of the Kodera clan, as well as the armor, standing pocket, and Jinhaoori were also one of the many weapons and armor that Kuroda gave him as a dowry when he got married.
Not only are these things carefully selected by Kuroda Vocational High School as a dowry for the Kotera family, which can be regarded as a way to help the Kotera family improve their combat effectiveness, but also the Kotera family is strong, and the Kotera clan can better protect Miaochun. Of course, these things are exactly what Kotera needs for his job. After having these things, the preparation of Kodera clan's own body has also changed.
At this time, the soldiers and believers of the sect were all shocked when they saw the Kuroda family ambushing soldiers around them. Except for the 1,000 Honganji elites, it is relatively normal, and they can maintain their composure for a short time. The rest of the ordinary believers, or more precisely, the coerced people, had already passed through the entire march of the people, and some of the common people who had lost their humanity were already in a panic.
The believers were really a little shocked, before they came to attack the Kuroda family, didn't the Buddhas of Honganji Temple say that the Kuroda family had no defense against this attack? Isn't the Kodera family's military strength still in Yagi Castle? Why did these Kuroda family forces appear in Hino, which is so close to Kuzuri Village? And it was so deep that it was not discovered by the fine work, which is really incredible.
At this time, Shimoma Teruren was very angry, because he knew that he seemed to have been deceived, his face was extremely hideous, not like a compassionate monk at all, but more like a cuckold man whose wife was played with in front of others. He really wanted to grab the little Heita from before and hack him to death.
"Don't panic, we have the advantage in numbers, all calm down, don't be afraid, as long as you attack the Kuroda family, even if you die, you can fly to the Buddha Kingdom." Teruren Shimoma shouted loudly.
The entire Kotera family rushed to the front, and it was the young general Higashihata Sadataka who was newly trained by the Kuroda family. Higashihata Sadataka is a famous young player during the Kuroda family's training class, and even Mibu Kyojiro is very optimistic about the existence.
It's just because Higashihata Sadataka is the only son of Tohata Sadaaki, the head of the Tohata family, and Tohata Sadaaki is nearly fifty years old and is no longer suitable for fighting on the battlefield, so when Tohata Sadataka left the small surname before, he let him return home and inherit the position of the head of the family.
Tohata Sadaaki is a typical, representative of the small wealthy family and the head of the country during the Warring States period. He is very knowledgeable about current affairs, and he was also one of the first small wealthy families to surrender to the Kuroda family, and over the years, with the Kuroda family, a lot of land has also been obtained.
Tohata knew that if his son stayed in the Kuroda family and became a direct minister of the Kuroda family, he might get more benefits. After all, Higashihata Sadakashi had already been affirmed by Kuroda Vocational High School and several teachers at that time, which meant that Higashihata Sadakashi was promising.
But Higashihata Sadaaki does only have one heir, Higashihata Sadataka, and the Tohata family also needs Tohata Sadataka to come back to inherit, so it can be said that it is a helpless choice to let him come back to inherit the family governor.
Tohata Sadataka also rode a horse presented by Kuroda Vocational High School, and was wearing the standard armor and katana of the first class samurai of the Kuroda family, Ashigaru Commander, which were given to him when he decided to return home, when Kuroda Vocational High summoned him alone.
And in addition, there is also the sealing of two hundred stone land, which is regarded as a congratulatory gift for him to become the head of the Tohata family, which was applied to Kuroda Zhitaka. Generally speaking, in the Kuroda family, only meritorious deeds were awarded for land, and such gifts were rare.
Tohata had been at Kuroda's house for a long time, and he knew about it. Especially with Kuroda Vocational High School, he saw a lot of things. So his loyalty to the Kuroda family has risen a lot, basically to the point of die-hard loyalty.
I saw Higashihata Sadataka taking the lead (no one else had horses), and instantly rushed into the crowd of Ichisuzong, and killed three monks with a knife in his hand.
