This kind of training to sharpen the spear before the battle is just to improve Omi Ryobi's pressure-bearing and adaptability. In more than two months from May to the end of July, the spear formation that should be practiced has been mastered, and the basic combined attack skills are practiced every day.
After repeated practice, veterans also taught us how to deal with any situation. Even if the two reserve teams could not become elite soldiers, they were still much better than the peasant soldiers who could only fight with the wind.
The morale is high and the morale of the army is ready. The next step is how to deal with the 10,000-horse Sanhao army on the opposite side. According to many days of observation, this long confrontation of more than a month has also continuously depleted the morale of the Sanhao family on the opposite side, because the main camp of the Sanhao family is stationed in
Fushimi Toba is located in the hinterland of the south of Kyoto. Every night, some samurai would go to Kyoto to drink flower wine. Regarding the behavior of corrupting military discipline, Toga Ichitomi turned a blind eye, which also helped to increase some privileges.
The arrogance of a warrior.
On the other hand, the people of Yamashiro Province, led by Ise Sadataka, have to raise their own food and grass supplies because his tribe does not belong to the Miyoshi family. According to Tokawa Ichino, the people of Yamashiro Province should also bear some food and grass supplies. It just depends on him.
It's relatively pitiful to be exempted from it. The food and drink for two thousand people is also a heavy burden. The little money of the Ise family in Kyoto is definitely not enough to spend, so the showdown fee has aroused the dissatisfaction of the people of Yamashiro. There was a lot of unpleasantness in the camp a few days ago.
, the morale of the people in Shancheng Country also dropped to a very low level.
Also with low morale are the Kawachi and Kii people of the Hatakeyama family. These 3,000 people are led by Yusa Shinoji with a soy sauce mentality. Being able to send troops is also a favor for Miyoshi Nagakei, otherwise there will be no place during the autumn harvest season.
There is a shortage of people. Who can stay with him in this wilderness for a month?
Because some of his ideas were not yet mature, Kira Yoshitoshi did not express his plans, so during the military meeting, some people began to plan what Yamashiro would do. The first person to jump out was Honda Yahachiro, who suggested: "It's better to
To launch a surprise attack at night, our troops crossed the river from the southwest of the Kamogawa River overnight and circled around the mountain city in the south, and then launched an attack in one fell swoop. The Miyoshi family was attacked from behind and would surely collapse without a fight!"
"What a great idea! I support it!"
"I also support it!"
"This proposal is extremely inappropriate! Shoryuji Castle is located at the foot of Tenno Mountain on the other side of the river. How can we hide such a noisy night attack from the defenders in the city?" Yamamoto Tokiyuki shook his head and rejected it immediately.
The Kamogawa River extends south for only three miles before it merges with the Katsura River to become the main stream of the Yodogawa River, and then continues to flow like the Osaka Bay of Settsu Province. Shoryuji Castle is located in the southwest corner of the two rivers, and is located diagonally across from the foothills of Mount Tenno.
At the mouth of the river, let alone large-scale night operations, they could not escape their eyes. Even if they escaped, once the war started and the garrison in the city attacked Kira's army from behind, it would be like a mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind.
The current mayor of Shoryuji Castle is Matsunaga Nagayori. This king is Matsunaga Hide's younger brother and a well-known fierce general. It is definitely not good news for him to lead the people of the 2,000 Shikoku Kingdoms.
"Your Majesty Yamamoto means that this plan is not feasible? Then please tell me what you think?" a man from Omi asked in a nonchalant manner.
"Yes! Your Highness Yamamoto, please tell me."
The people of Omi country don't quite understand what is the special status of Yamamoto Tokiyuki. How can a retainer who is not even an elder of the family be so convinced by the Mikawa samurai? Yamamoto Tokiyuki has not done much in the reorganization of Omi's two reserve troops in the past two months.
Intensive training, so they don't know how powerful Yamamoto Tokiyuki is, nor have they seen the full strength of the Mikawa clan. They regard the battle of Qingshui Castle as the credit of Kira Yoshiki. In their eyes, Yamamoto Kansuke is just a master of fortification.
Don't know anything else.
"Please be careful with your words, this is my family's military strategy training!"
As soon as Kira Yoshitoki intervened, these Omi people immediately shut up. On the surface, they were convinced by him, but that was just admiration for his skills. There was no master-slave relationship between the two parties, especially Takashima Nanato and Rokkaku from Takashima County.
The family has a deep relationship, and Otsu in Shiga County also has old connections with the Rokkaku family, so he is still far from accepting them as retainers.
There were many minor conflicts similar to those at the military meeting. Each conflict was caused by the incoordination between the two groups of retainers. This gave Kiragi a headache and boredom. During the entire late July, except for army training, all he did was work hard.
Suppressing the increasingly angry peasants and soldiers may be the sequelae of that oath. The Omi peasants and soldiers who repeatedly instilled and strengthened the oath every day found that they could no longer stand the routine provocations of the Miyoshi family. The insults that usually had little to do with them were at this time
It also became extremely harsh.
The bigger trouble is that these 7,000 troops are not all there are. There are also warriors who are responsible for setting up camps, transporting grain and grass, cooking, boiling water, and doing chores. There are 2,000 of these warriors, all of whom are honest farmers. These people are also
They need rations because they serve 7,000 troops, cook, cook and do various chores for them, and they eat no less than the peasant soldiers.
Ji Liangyi suddenly thought of a way and immediately said: "The autumn harvest is about to happen and there is a shortage of people in the territory. I intend to send my husband back to his hometown to farm for the autumn harvest. What do you think?"
"That's not right! Who will take care of the chores in the barracks after the Jinmen are gone?" This proposal was opposed by some people as soon as it was put forward. Of course, some people supported it, and unknowingly it turned into a quarrel between Mikawa and Omi. Kira
Yishi had a headache from the noise and immediately announced that the military meeting was over. He led a dozen followers to the military camp and wandered around.
"It's so hot!" Yamaoka Tokugawa fanned randomly with a fan. These days, he has been training with the horseback crowd, and only occasionally has the opportunity to come over for duty. In his words, his butt is blistered from riding on the horse all day long.
It's better to just follow him around and feel comfortable.
"It's very hot!" Looking at the sun high in the sky, Kira Yoshi could only lament. In the blink of an eye, he saw a warrior carrying firewood hurriedly walking over, which reminded him of the proposal at the military meeting, so he said
The attendant greeted: "Go over and have a look!"
Following the figure of the Jinfu, they came to a Jinfu's simple camp. It was said that the camp was actually a group of tent areas, with temporary fire pits in the middle used as places to boil water for cooking. In the Jinfu's camp in broad daylight
There was no one around, so I followed the leader carefully and stopped in front of the tent.
I heard coughing and wheezing sounds from time to time under the tent, it seemed that a Jinfu was sick, and another person was helping him make medicine. The two chatted for a while, and then talked about this autumn. The sound of the Jinfu coughing from time to time
Old and tired, he breathed for a while and then said: "The situation this year is not bad, but I don't know if the children at home can finish harvesting the food."
Another warrior sighed: "Oh! These big men insist on fighting during the autumn grain confiscation season. All the men in the village who can contribute have come to serve in the army. Those of us who are unwilling to serve can only be warriors."
, leaving the women and children at home, what if they are bullied by some lazy guy? "
"I heard that those children swore an oath to gods and Buddhas! It's really...cough, cough, cough!" There was a rapid cough, and another warrior hurriedly patted him a few times, and the two people in the tent stopped talking.
, when Kiragi stopped outside the tent, he had quietly turned around and left.
The next day, Koshiro Hattori reported with the information about the jinfu: "The jinfu have been very unstable recently. Some jinfu are secretly preparing to flee back to their hometowns. If a war breaks out, most of the jinfu will flee."
"This is not good news! With all the Jinmen running away, we have to use the reserve team to transport food. This will make our family waste a lot of military power on basic transportation!" Kira Yoshi's brows twisted unconsciously.
together.
"The Jinfu problem must be solved as soon as possible, and it must be solved! Leave this matter to the veteran!" Yamamoto Tokiyuki accepted the task without hesitation.
