Chapter 160: Shin Kumagai rushes straight into battle
And later, because he married his daughter to Yoshikawa Motoharu, Kumagai Nobunao reluctantly became a figure who was related to the Maori family. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Speaking of his daughter, there is also an interesting fact that Kumagai Nobunao, like his ancestors and father, was an excellent warrior, and was highly used by the Mori clan because of his bravery in previous battles.
Don't look at Kumagai Nobunao is a simple-minded fierce general, but he is indeed a good man who takes care of his family very well, and there is a very big trouble for this good man. That is his daughter Fang Gui, because she is very ugly, so his daughter has never been able to marry, which has also become Kumagai Nobunao's heart disease.
In the 16th year of Tenmon (1547 AD), when Kuroda was one year old, Motoharu Yoshikawa suddenly came to Kumagai's house and said that he wanted to win Yoshikatsu. Nobunao Kumagai knows very well what his daughter looks like, so if Yoshikawa Motoharu directly said that he likes Yoshikatsu, he will definitely think it's a joke.
At that time, Yoshikawa Motoharu was also very single, because as a figure with his own political ambitions, Yoshikawa Motoharu knew what he should and should not say.
For this reason, Yoshikawa Motoharu directly and honestly told Kumagai Shinstraight that he didn't want to complete this marriage because of Fang Gui. The reason why I chose her was because of my political purpose, and I wanted to get Kumagai Nobunao's political and military support, so I also hoped that Kumagai Nobunao could understand.
Although this is a political marriage, Nobunao Kumagai is very fond of his daughter, a young talent like Motoharu Yoshikawa, and the second son of the lord. As long as he can facilitate this marriage, Nobunao Kumagai knows that Yoshikawa Motoharu will definitely not let his daughter be unhappy.
And because of this, he will become a relative of the Maori family, similar to the position of a quasi-gate, with the relationship of Yoshikawa Motoharu, his status in the Maori family must have risen, and he may also get the support of the Maori family, which is something he can't ask for, so he readily agreed to Yoshikawa Motoharu's marriage.
After Yoshikawa married Motoharu Yoshikawa, he began to be known as the Shinsho Bureau. And Yoshikawa Motoharu and her gave birth to Yoshikawa Motocho, Yoshikawa Motoji, and Yoshikawa Hiroke together. Originally, this was supposed to be a political marriage, but Yoshikawa Motoharu really loved this wife very much, and he didn't marry other wives and concubines in the country (I don't know if there are wild women outside). The above content is recorded in "Yinde Taiping Ji" and "Anxi Military Policy".
It's just that in "The Tale of Yin De Taiping", there is a record that Kumagai Nobunao's daughter is a jealous and bad woman, but based on the fact that the author seems to be the heir of the enemy of the Kumagai family, the authenticity of Yoshikatsu's character remains to be considered.
But at least his book proves the authenticity of Fang Gui's existence, as for some other records, it can only be a matter of opinion, at least Yoshikawa Motoharu is indeed the only one wife, which is a fact.
The Kumagai family quickly made all the preparations for the attack, and Kumagai Nobunao had already assembled his soldiers and had already arranged the order of all the soldiers to attack. Although this may seem very easy, in fact, as long as there are thousands of people, it is not very easy to gather quickly.
Those who will attack Sutaka together with Kumagai Nobunao also include his sons Kumagai Takanao, Kumagai Naokiyo, Kumagai Hiroma, Kumagai Masaya, and the fourth son of the Misu family, who had previously inherited the Misu family under his command and had inherited the Sansu family. Among the 1,000-strong attacking troops, there were 100 members of the Misu family.
Nobunao Kumagai himself is a fierce warrior with outstanding martial arts, there is no doubt about that. Nobunao Kumagai's subordinates are also with him, accompanied by the battle-hardened elite of the Maori family, whether it is his retainers or ordinary soldiers under him, they are all invincible elites.
As the Maori family continued to face the attacks of Ouchi and Niko, and continued to expand their territory, these Kumagai family soldiers were indeed experienced in a hundred battles. They may still be far from the Kuroda family in terms of equipment, after all, the Kuroda family's powerful financial resources are there, and the equipment of ordinary soldiers is almost as good as that of ordinary samurai, but there is absolutely no problem with their own combat effectiveness.
It is because of the elite of the soldiers that Nobunao Kumagai will have the confidence to face the Kuroda family. Not to mention whether this self-confidence is useful or not, at least they already have the courage to fight the Kuroda family.
Kumagai Nobunao quickly led people to attack, and nearly a thousand soldiers had begun to walk slowly on the narrow mountain road, and the chrysanthemum-patterned and rattan-patterned banners of the Kuroda family on the opposite side had been able to enter their eyes very clearly, and they were getting clearer and closer.
"Ladies and gentlemen, on the other side is the army of the Kuroda family, they only have 3,000 people, but my Maori family has an army of 18,000 people. If we don't defeat the Kuroda family this time and escape from Sutaka, the Mori family will definitely be defeated by the Kuroda family.
If we are defeated by the Kuroda family, do you know what we will face? There is a good chance that I and you, all of you, and everyone of the Mori family, will be killed by the Kuroda family, and this is already the best end. There is a good chance that we will become captives of the Kuroda family, sent to the Kuroda family's mines, and live a dark and difficult life, and will probably never be able to turn over.
Your wealth, your land, your women, and your daughters will all be what the Kuroda family wants, and your homes will be trampled on by them at will. Are you men, are you willing to see this happen, and are you willing to ask for it at will from the Kuroda family? Nobunao Kumagai shouted loudly.
"No," shouted the soldiers.
"In this case, success or failure is here, please follow me." Kumagai Nobunao Katana pointed in the direction of the Kuroda family's position and shouted loudly.
"Kill...... Kill...... Kill" Kumagai family soldiers instantly burst out with very high morale.
However, as the main general of this Kuroda family's army, Shigeharu Takenaka is a person who is well versed in military affairs, and when he saw Kumagai Shinnao's morale, he also knew what he should do, so he shouted loudly: "Everyone, you should know that we are about to face an army of 18,000 from the Maori family, and the reason why we and the Maori family are here is because of the arrangement of the young master.
