On the afternoon of September 22, 1552, at the foot of the West Mountain in the middle of the Takayagawa Gorge, the turning point of the Takayagawa River is the turning point of the Takayagawa River, and the water flow is relatively gentle, but in fact, the Takaya River itself is not a turbulent river, and it can be crossed anytime and anywhere, as if it has not become a river that both armies have to consider in particular, and the Date family knew that relying on the Takayagawa River could not resist the attack of the Maori coalition army, so they deployed on the wider side of the Odagawa River, and the Maori coalition army also understood that the Takaya River was a small river that could not stop their progressIn fact, the indigenous lands on both sides of the Takaya River do not pay much attention to a river that has not been flooded for more than 100 years. Of course, now more than a dozen families on both sides of the streets of Sanyo in the Takayagawa River Gorge have all disappeared, either in the hands of the Date family or as guides for the Mori family.

On the slope of the West Mountain, a few hundred meters away from the Takayagawa, there is a dilapidated temple, the name of the Xiangji Temple can be seen from the collapsed wooden plaque, the statues in the temple are mottled and scattered, they can't distinguish their original colors, the dilapidated statues also have a broken arm, and the weeds are overgrown all around, and it has long been the home of foxes and beasts, but now there is a team of cavalry from Yuno to sentry magpie nest doves occupied. Looking down from Koji Temple, you can see the movement on both sides of the Takaya River, and you can see the movement on both sides of the Oda River from afar, even on the other side of the Mt. Komi, and you can also see the movement on both sides of the Oda River from a distance.

"It seems that Date Sei has no intention of crossing the Takayagawa Gorge to fight a decisive battle with the coalition forces, and they are building a fortress on the other side of the Odagawa River, and they have already built three fortresses in just one day and one night. In a few days, even if we make a move, I am afraid that it will be difficult to defeat Date Sei in a short time. ”

The leader of the four sentry spies who spoke was a man in his thirties, who did not look like a Japanese national, tall and more than 1.70 meters, burly, but with a somewhat ugly face, plus he did not shave his head and scattered his head, like a savage in the north, known for his fighting fierceness and fearlessness.

This fierce general of the Maori family is called Ichikawa Nobuyo. It is the eldest son of Yoshikawa Jingshi, speaking of Yoshikawa Jingshi, it is the culprit who did not hesitate to betray his nephew Yoshikawa Xingjing Director zhì Yoshikawa clan for personal interests, but in the eyes of Maori Motoshi and Yoshikawa Motoharu, Yoshikawa Jingshi is the best contact person to communicate with the various branches of the Yoshikawa clan, and his sons have also indirectly benefited, becoming an important arm of Yoshikawa Motoharu to rule the Yoshikawa clan, and this Ichikawa Keiba comrade is therefore gifted Akikuni Ichikawa The name of the place was changed from Yoshikawa to Ichikawa.

Don't look at him recklessly, dragons give birth to dragons. The phoenix gives birth to the phoenix, and the son of the mouse will make holes. Yoshikawa Nobuyo's son could not have a simple heart, he was a cunning figure, and his reckless appearance was just to attract the attention of the Maori family, but more of an absolute strength in his hands.

He glanced at the person next to him, and whispered slightly respectfully: "The Young Auxiliary Hall of the Ministry of Governance, we have almost sentry this night, and it should be the time to go back, and there are already several teams of Date Se scouts passing by, if they are letting them appear." Our life is small, and if you make a mistake, the Yoshikawa clan will be in turmoil. ”

I didn't expect Yoshikawa Motoharu to be here, this is a place that will become a battlefield anytime and anywhere, and it is not far from the Nishigahara position, once it is revealed, it will be delayed. It's too late to rescue, you must know that their group was dispatched without Maori Yuan. Yoshikawa Motoharu didn't look back, he was looking at the movement of the Nishigahara formation in the distance, his eyes shining with excitement. said: "Wait a while, see the specific arrangement of the West Ebara clearly, and give our cavalry a better night attack." ”

Ichikawa Jinghao replied in a deep voice: "The Shaofu Hall of the Ministry of Governance, if you really want to attack Nishiehara at night, the strategy is good, if you succeed, you will be able to break through the Nishiebara defense line in one fell swoop, and the guide zhì Ita will always collapse, and there is really no one on the Shanyang Road who can block the impact of the five hundred cavalry, I am afraid that Yuan will not agree, do you want to act privately." ”

Yoshikawa Motoharu's face changed slightly, he really wanted to act privately to defeat Nishi-Ehara, who was set up by Date in one fell swoop, in addition to the glory of victory, the biggest reason was to completely knock down Date Masaki, so that he killed Mori Takamoto in despair, so that he had the opportunity to become the master of Maori. He is also the biological son of Mrs. Mori Motomarumo Miaojiu, and he is the second son, and he already has an heir, and he has a greater chance than the other son, Kobayakawa Takakei, and once he becomes the master of the Mori lineage, he can leave the heir in the Yoshikawa clan to inherit the family business.

Yoshikawa Motoharu glanced back at Ichikawa Jinghao, and said in a low voice: "Now the situation is unpredictable, once the time is delayed in the Kamibe Plain, the pottery thieves who have already built the castle on Itsukushima are afraid that they will have trouble again, only by defeating the Date clan first and forcing them to submit, we will be able to defeat the pottery thieves with a great victory." ”

Just in response to the flattery, Ichikawa Jinghao suddenly had round eyes, pointed to the front and whispered: "Zhibu Shaofu Palace, look, Xi Yingyuan has moved, they are crossing the river, as if they are coming to us, what kind of flag is that." "The sun is shining, and in the afternoon, the yellow flag behind the two guards led by the two people of Katayama Moricho and Taoshan Shinbei is no different from the Xiangji Temple.

Yoshikawa Motoharu's eyes tightened, this day the flags of different colors in Nishiebara have been investigated clearly, the world ghosts owned by the Maori family are considered to be outstanding chaotic wave organizations in the yin and yang realms, although it failed to infiltrate Tsuru City, but the close probe is still clear, he said in a low voice: "Date Masahiro created a four-color preparation system a month ago, yellow Bei, named because the flag color is pure yellow, composed of the Standing Army of the Date family, it is the main force that followed Date Masahiro to fight in the south and north, and the other three colors are red Bei, white Bei, The blue and red Bei are mostly composed of the retainers of the spectrum, the white Bei is composed of the personnel stationed in various cities, and the blue Bei is the special banner of the naval army. ”

Date Masahiro created a four-color preparation to learn from the Manchu Qing Dynasty's Eight Banners system, although he also wanted to reform according to the standards of modern combat troops, but he didn't have any way to overturn it in a short period of time, so he had to choose a system that conformed to the Japanese people, he originally just wanted to form the same red preparation as Takeda Shingen, or learn from Oda Nobunaga to set up the red mother clothes and black mothers, of course, the five colors of the Hojo family also came into view, just considering the financial pressure, The four colors of lacquer armor are also a lot of expenses, so just use a yellow flag and a flag as a difference, of which the blue is only a flag and not a flag.

According to a team of 60 people led by a general and five leaders of the group, this is the lowest level of samurai, a guard and five teams of 300 people led by the general of the guard, a four-guard 1,200 people led by the general, the main guard is composed of two divisions for a total of 2,400 people, and all the soldiers of the four-color reserve should have 9,600 people.

However, this will give people from other forces a false impression that the Date family can fight at any time with nearly 10,000 soldiers, these are not peasant soldiers who are not trained much throughout the year, even those who look down on Date's domestic tyranny will be cautious to investigate.

The same overwhelming flags of the same color also have a great deterrent power, which is one of the reasons why the Sengoku daimyo like to form reserves of the same color, and the chaotic flags are too dazzling.

Yoshikawa Motoharu knows a lot more news than others, and the reason why he wants to attack Nishigahara at night is also a factor of fear of four-color preparation, although he also despises the virtue of Date's family tyrants, but he attaches great importance to these soldiers who have hardly stopped in the southern and northern wars. In a dignified field battle, he is not afraid of anyone, but if these soldiers rely on Odagawa's geographical advantages, his cavalry will be useless, and they will often become the target of the opponent's sniping.

Suddenly, a group of more than ten horsemen rushed out of the team and rushed in the direction of Jizenji Temple, obviously showing them. Ichikawa Jinghao reacted very quickly, grabbed Yoshikawa Motoharu, who still wanted to continue to observe, and ran towards the back mountain, and ordered in a deep voice: "Don't leave quickly, protect the young auxiliary hall of the Ministry of Governance and leave." ”

Five horsemen rushed out of the backyard of Jishan Temple, one of them wearing a cavalry in red armor was particularly eye-catching, and the other tall cavalryman straddled the horse hall and followed suit. Ueno Taro's gaze narrowed, he originally just wanted to investigate the situation nearby, but he didn't expect that there was really an enemy sentry under the intimidation, or a big man, his eyes were shining, and he shouted loudly: "Rush over, entangle them, that's a big man from the Maori family, kill it." "Taro Ueno, who has been learning riding all summer, is not yet able to achieve the unity of man and horse, but his talent is excellent, and his riding progress is extremely fast, and the other dozen or so riding skills are not satisfactory, which makes him even more powerful.

The war horses of the Wa Kingdom are very short like their people, and it is better to say that horses are better like donkeys, but they are very fierce, and wild horses even have the habit of eating meat, and their temper is not very good. Originally, it was just an inconsequential Takaya River that became an obstacle to the advance of Yoshikawa Motoharu and others, and it was originally possible to cross the river by moving slowly, but in a hurry, the whipping was too heavy, and the war horse under the seat was in a temper, but it was just Takayagawa, which made Ichikawa Nozori, who was protecting him, anxious, and saw more than ten cavalry of the Date family rushing behind him. Although they are not afraid of the cavalry of the Date family, once they are entangled, the foot soldiers of the Date family behind them will soon surround them, and Oniyoshikawa will really become a ghost at that time. Once Yoshikawa Motoharu has three longs and two shorts, their family is afraid that they will be implicated.

Ichikawa shouted: "Hurry up, I'll come to the palace!" As he spoke, he pulled the reins and turned his horse's head towards Ueno Taro and the others, screaming like a wild beast.
