Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
As soon as Zhu Yun Huixin and Sugihara Morishige left, Masahiro held a military meeting, and the vanguard official Katayama Moricho also hurried over, except for the remaining Noyama Masahiro, he almost poured out of the nest, he looked at the active retainers, raised a piece of information in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Just now I got the enemy spy report detected by the Kusama people, Mori Mototo personally led 2,500 soldiers, including 500 cavalry, led by Yoshikawa Motoharu, and mobilized 25,000 troops in the country of Beigo, and now Kamibe Hirano has gathered 12,000 troops, and it is estimated that all of them will be in place in a few days." ”
Everyone took a breath of cold air, but they didn't expect the Bigo Congress to be so resolute, and the 25,000 soldiers were afraid that they had already wiped out the young and strong people of Bigo Kingdom.
The population of the Wa Kingdom is still growing slowly in the troubled times of the Warring States Period, and most of the old, weak, sick and disabled people in the troubled times do not survive, and all those who can survive are young and middle-aged. How can those who were once alive perish? Uesugi Kenshin was critically ill and passed away, "A dream in forty-nine years, a glass of wine in one period", it is enough to see that the average life expectancy of the society at that time was generally about 50 years old, and the average life expectancy of the common people who lived in poverty and oppression was even lower, and Tokugawa Ieyasu, who lived to the age of 75, was called an old turtle by later generations, which also shows from the side that there was no so-called aging problem at that time.
The population of the three kingdoms has never been abundant, and the population of the three kingdoms has never been abundant, and the population of the three countries has never been abundant, and the country has experienced several wars, and the Shoheng forcibly registered the hidden farmers in the unlawless places such as Monzen Town on the pretext of instigating a riot by the Shingon sect of the Imperial Family, with a population of about 70,000. Qingzhuang accounts for about 30,000 people, and to use such a small population to raise 2,000 standing troops and 3,000 quasi-standing troops, it can be seen how difficult the Date family's finances are.
Now hearing that the people of the country of Bigo have mobilized 25,000 peasant soldiers to gather in the Shenbian Plain, everyone can't help but take a deep breath of cold air, 25,000 peasant soldiers, plus the 2,500 Maori soldiers from An Yi Kingdom and the same number of auxiliary soldiers, the number of enemies they have to face is more than 30,000. In a ratio of one to ten, they obviously did not put the three thousand people in their eyes, and all of them were pale.
Only then did everyone realize how wise the Lord's decision to build the defense line of the West Ebara was, if it was in the wilderness, even if it was a pile, it would be able to pile up three thousand Ita to death.
Zheng Heng looked around at everyone's faces, and said in a heavy voice: "This time, the Maori coalition army gathered troops in the Frontier Plains, and the momentum was huge, and the daily food loss was more than two or three hundred stones, plus the transportation costs needed hundreds of thousands. They will not be as nice as the Maori messenger said, and they have come to make an alliance with us. Once tens of thousands of peasant soldiers break through the defense line of the Western Eiyuan, we are prepared for the destruction of lives and the suffering of the common people. ”
As Zhengheng said, it is impossible for Bigo to kill almost all the young and strong people in one net just to follow Maori Yuan to play with the family, even if Maori Yuan wants to force the Date family to submit, but Bigo people are afraid that they will not agree to end the war so simply, once the Date family chooses to submit, it will definitely be endless blackmail and blackmail.
Naturally, the peasant soldiers are far less effective than the professional soldiers, and they are still less disciplined. It is even more impossible to do it without committing any crimes in the autumn, and 25,000 young and strong people will eat food and serve as soldiers, and they will inevitably delay their work at home, and they will definitely make up for it on the battlefield.
Mao Liyuan is even more not a soft egg, and Zhengheng thinks he is a ruthless character. His retainers were well aware of his ruthlessness, and in order to please the allies of the Kingdom of Bingo, and to deter the enemies who insisted on resisting, he used cruel methods. Kill all the men in the city, and sell all the women and children, so as to offset the military expenses of the expedition.
As mentioned above, since Date Zhengheng, most of the Date family from top to bottom are from small wealthy families, land servants, bandits, and wild samurai, and with Zhengheng just gaining the status and land of the master, Anyi and Bigo people rushed into Bei China, where are their affairs, it is equivalent to returning to the era of starvation, which is simply impossible.
Zhengheng's words and words suddenly mobilized everyone's feelings, the Maori coalition is not good, there is no possibility of goodness, living in the troubled times of the Warring States, everyone has been prepared for the consciousness of life and death, if there is no such awareness, even the chance of survival will not have the slightest.
Seeing that everyone's feelings were mobilized, Zheng Heng showed a flush of excitement on his face, and said in a deep voice: "As a Chinese, I should give priority to guarding and guarding China, and when China is in danger, only by sharing the same hatred for the enemy, holding the determination to become benevolent, and fighting the enemy to the end, can we have a chance of victory." ”
He looked at the crowd and said: "The people of the country are not subordinate to each other, the north and the south are divided strictly, and they are enemies of each other. It is also possible that the five counties of Fukatsu, Shinaji, Numakuma, and Ashida are also very likely. ”
Everyone took another breath, originally thinking that they would rely on the Nishiegahara defense line to resist the coalition forces for a long time, but they didn't expect that their lord would want to attack the Maori coalition army head-on. The local wealthy Oda Masa's face was worried, he only sent his son to surrender after hearing that the Date family had put down the rebellion in World War I and obtained the three counties of Duyu, Ushiya, and Kojima, which was regarded as the last local power in China to surrender. Nishiebara Mijo was originally affiliated with the Oda family, and due to the latest surrender, he has now become the direct leader of the Date family, and he originally deeply resented the domineering of the Date family, but now it seems that he has really done a good thing, and once the Bigo people rush into the border of Bigo, he will be the family that will suffer from the scourge.
Oda Masato just heard that there were nearly 30,000 enemies, and his face was pale with fright, if it weren't for the back of Zhengheng cheering up and sticking to the defense line of Nishiehara, I am afraid that he would have been paralyzed by fright, and now he heard that Masahiro was going to take the initiative to meet the attack, and his face was frightened when he heard it, once the attack failed, the consequences were unimaginable, and he said calmly: "Your Highness, now that the Nishigabara has built three bars, while the enemy army has not yet fully gathered, you can build a few more bars, and the defense line will be completely repaired, and you can delay the enemy's footsteps, and take the initiative to attack, I'm afraid?!" ”
After saying that he thought he was the best way to fight now, he didn't expect that instead of getting everyone's harmony, he also attracted more than ten cold eyes, which frightened his face even more pale, he never thought that he would provoke the anger of the people, and said busily: "Listen to Your Highness's orders." ”
Zhengheng glanced at Oda Masako coldly and asked, "Oda Masako, you are a local wealthy family, can you tell me, what is the length and width of the Takayagawa Canyon leading to the Shenbian Plain?" ”
Oda Masato didn't dare to look up, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he hurriedly replied: "The length of the Takayagawa Gorge is about fifteen or sixteen miles, one and a half miles at the widest point, and less than one mile at the narrowest point. ”
Zhengheng looked around, saw that everyone was thoughtful, nodded slightly, and then stretched out a map, pointed to the Shenbian Plains and said: "Everyone, if the Shenbian Plains are compared to a bottle, then the Takayagawa Gorge is the bottleneck, and the Nishiebara is the bottle cap. ”
It's really fitting to use a bottle to explain the plains of the gods. Now in the middle of the 16th century, the mountainous environment of the three kingdoms of Kibi determined that the army could only go through the streets of Shanyang, and the army of several hundred people could also climb the mountains and mountains to do the effect of surprise soldiers, once there were thousands of people and horses, the grain and grass that people had to consume every day to eat and chew on horses could not be replenished on the spot, and once they could not achieve a decisive victory in a short time, there would be a shortage of food, and the peasants and soldiers who were completely unorganized and disciplined would collapse and become chaotic people without attacking at all, not only harming the local area, but also harming their own army.
The Maori coalition forces gathered in the Kamibe Plains had to advance along the streets of Sanyo, through the narrow Takayagawa River gorge of Guò, and face the Nishi-Ebara defense line before they could make a big move into the territory of Beichu. Of course, there is still a sea route to go, but the current preparation of China is not Okayama Prefecture in later generations, there has not been any dry expansion project, there are many reefs and dangerous shoals along the coast, if you want to board the sea 6, you must also consider the problem of local supply, to enter the hinterland of Kurashiki, you need to consider that the current Kojima County due to a riot ten rooms and nine empty, there is also a guerrilla army on the island, if you want to climb 6, you must also have a good tooth.
Zheng Heng looked at the map, then pointed to a place on the map and asked the Kusama Shibei who was present: "Death Guard, can there be enemy soldiers in the Takayagawa Gorge, and the deployment of the coalition forces?" ”
Katayama Moricho shook his head slightly and said: "Yes, but not much, there are only more than ten cavalry detectives back and forth, there are no enemy ambushes within more than 20 miles around the Takayagawa Gorge, it seems quite calm, Mori Mototo placed the main formation on the key mountain near Yuno, his son Yoshikawa Motoharu led five hundred cavalry to be stationed on Mt. Sanno not far away, Miyoshisei was stationed in Yuda Village, Sugihara Sei was stationed in Kamibe Castle, Kobayakawa Sei was stationed in Zao Mountain, the ships of the Numata Navy Army were already present in Kuraura, and the other troops were mostly stationed in the area of Shimao Mountain, and the flags were too messy, Therefore, it is not yet clear. ”
Zheng Heng paused slightly, and said: "Mao Liyuan is really stingy, hehe, since you want to use these cavalry to tempt me to take the initiative to attack and defeat me in a battle, then I will do as you wish, Katayama Shengcho, Taoshan Zhenbei, you two led a total of 600 soldiers on the left and right sides of the Yellow Reserve to advance the team to the area of the Satogaoya, make the momentum bigger, dig more holes, and retreat to Jingmaruyama once the enemy arrives." Kiyokawa Atsutaro, you lead the yellow Bei Tie Artillery Department to ambush through Marudo, once the enemy pursues and ambushes it, Matsushima Yajiro and Yoshida Masanari you two lead the Red Bizen Left Two Guards with a total of 600 soldiers, and attack at any time, and the rest of the armies will return with my receiving forces. ”
