"Asshole! Damn the Kira family! I, Changqing, are incompatible with you!" Miyoshi Changqing's eyes seemed to be on fire. The samurai of the four countries died in front of his eyes. How could we fight this battle with the right wing completely collapsed? But he was helpless. If it stops, once it retreats, the whole army may be defeated!
Sanhao Changqing immediately ordered: "Let the imperial horses return to the battlefield! The team that threw the baked jade must be eliminated!"
"Grenades, retreat!" Yamaoka Tokichō led the horsemen to bypass the grenadiers. Without saying a word, he began to attack. After killing several waves of joining troops, he ran into Miyoshi Changqing's horsemen. Yamaoka Tokichō shouted. Drink: "Sa Xing! Riding and shooting!"
Immediately, the two hundred horsemen dispersed in all directions. Facing the three good horsemen who were twice as many as themselves, they looked very confident. They bent their bows and clasped arrows and shot out cast-iron feather arrows one after another, killing these people at will. The elite troops of the Miyoshi family, Matsuyama Shinsuke and his horsemen tried to attack, but were shot in the face by a sharp arrow from the opposite direction, and fell off their horses and died on the spot.
When the Kira family's horsemen were playing tricks on the enemy with their stray horses, new changes occurred in the war situation. This change did not come from the superior strength of Rokkaku Yoshihide, because the 13,000 people he led were still fighting against more than 5,000 people. The Mihaoshi army was fighting, the Rokkaku family fought unhurriedly, and the Mihaoshi family defended without hesitation. The two sides seemed to have a tacit understanding.
The new change was that another Miyoshi army crossed the river. The idiot Miyoshi Choitsu was defeated again. This time it was the Kira navy of a thousand people who defeated him. Even though he knew that the waterway was under control, Miyoshi Choitsu still tried to He bet on the chance of crossing the river, but he definitely didn't read the almanac when he went out today. Unfortunately, he ran into bad luck and lost the bet again.
Miyoshi Choitsu and his 1,500 forwards had just landed on the north bank of the Katsura River. The retreat was blocked by the following Kira navy. The Kira navy, under the command of Kuuki Shigetaka, fired several rounds of iron artillery and destroyed the Katsura River. The Miyoshi ships that were transporting them were dispersed, and the only encircling force was the twenty small boats. They were all destroyed by Kira's navy. Their armor turned into iron coffins and were sent into the water to feed the fish.
The Miyoshi army that had not yet crossed the river turned around and returned to Shoryuji Castle. Miyoshi Choitsu could only lead this shaken force of 1,500 troops to resist the Kira navy. His efforts to resist were reduced to ashes under several rounds of iron cannon fire. Nothing happened, and then the terrible lethality of the roasted jade explosion brought back the bad memories of two years ago. Miyoshi Choitsu abandoned his army and turned around and fled towards Kyoto. As soon as the general ran away, the army became a chicken, and the Kira water was landed The army was easily defeated and surrendered, and Miyoshi Nagaitsu was captured before he could reach the edge of Kyoto.
The news greatly encouraged the Kira Army, and then the samurai of the Kira Navy carried the Miyoshi Choitsu flag and waved it. Even Hosokawa Harumoto, who was hiding in Funaoka Mountain, finally had the courage to come out, although he was quickly killed. Miyoshi Changqing reacted and defeated him, but his trouble also put a lot of pressure on the Miyoshi army's array.
Mikawa Bei's red cavalry attacked decisively. This time they still harvested from the flanks, relying on the combination of large guns and scimitars. They seemed to be really harvesting crops, which gave the Miyoshi Corps a great shock. Five hundred people Four formations collapsed in a row, all the way to the main formation of Miyoshi Chokei. At this time, the Miyoshi warriors from all directions rushed over like crazy. Chibei only had this chance.
Takigawa Tokiyoshi shouted loudly, and cut several Miyoshi samurai into two pieces with a sword dance, and then shouted: "Sakon! Shoot Sanzuki!"
"I know!" Shima Tokikatsu had been staring at the Miyoshi family's main formation. Suddenly, he found an excellent angle and immediately reined in his mount, bent his bow and aimed the arrow. In an instant, the arrow flew out with a sharp whistling sound, crossing a hundred Meters away, they rushed into the Sanhao Army's main formation at an extremely tricky angle.
"Protect the lord!" Miyoshi Chokei's brother-in-law, Onishi Yaitake, roared and pushed the stunned Miyoshi Chokei away. In the next moment, the deadly flying arrow penetrated his chest, and the huge penetrating power directly pierced the armor. It penetrated into the internal organs, Onishi Laiwu didn't even say a word before he fell down and died.
"Just a little bit! Just a little bit close!" Shima Tokikatsu clenched his fist and hammered the saddle hard. Over there, Takigawa Tokiyoshi shouted: "Sakon! Retreat! If you don't retreat, it will be too late!"
"Understood!" Shima Tokikatsu glanced at the chaotic main formation of the Miyoshi Army for the last time, and had no choice but to turn over and retreat reluctantly. At this time, the way back was completely blocked, but this was not a problem at all for Chibei, let alone What's more, they had already heard the whistles of the horseback crowd, which was a signal for their companions to respond.
"Assault! Support Chibei!" Yamaoka Tokugawa led the horsemen around half a circle and rushed into the Miyoshi army. The Miyoshi horseback just now was a soft-footed shrimp. In the middle of the fight, it suddenly retreated without looking back. He didn't care about the next hundred or so corpses. If Chibei hadn't whistled for help, he would have led his horse back to the crowd and continued the pursuit.
The army of the Sanhao family was about to successfully encircle it, but in the end the Ma Huizhong and Chibei cavalry teamed up to fight out again. During the advance and retreat, they killed hundreds of Sanhao's troops and defeated several main forces of the Sanhao army. Eighty people were killed in preparation for the battle, and fifteen people were killed in the battle by the horsemen. This is a brilliant and jaw-dropping achievement.
But when the fight reached this level, neither the Miyoshi family nor the Kira family were able to fight anymore. The cavalry team and the horseback samurai were sweating from the high-intensity assaults one after another. The horses' physical strength was overdrawn. Mikawa Bei began to retreat, and Otsu and Katada on the right wing were Bei is also gathering its military strength.
At this time, Rokkaku Yoshihide also saw the opportunity and began to launch a fierce attack, but his attack was a little late. After half a day, the vigor of the Rokkaku army was gone, and they could not explode again. They could only fight back Miyoshi Yoshihide with great effort. Xian's 5,000 troops killed hundreds of people, and when they were looking to expand their results, the Mihaoshi family had already begun to retreat.
Miyoshi Yoshihide led 4,000 remnants to join Miyoshi Changqing. After the joint battle reached this level, it was definitely not possible to fight again. The right wing was destroyed and the middle was completely defeated. Only the left wing still retained a main force. After a little calculation, it turned out that more than 100,000 people were killed. Of the four thousand men, there were many who were severely disabled and lost combat effectiveness. More than half of the troops were injured, and even if they wanted to fight again, they would be unable to recover.
When the Miyoshi Army slowly withdrew to the upper reaches of the Katsura River, the Kira Army burst into cheers: "The Miyoshi Army retreated! We won!"
"We won! We won!" The Ashigaru cried and laughed and hugged each other. The samurai also dropped their weapons and sat on the grass covered with devastated corpses. They were really exhausted. Only now did they realize that two The legs were as heavy as lead. There were many samurai like this. Kira Jun, who was walking on the battlefield, finally relaxed.
At this time, the envoy came to the army again and shouted loudly: "Everyone, get up! Don't sit down! Hurry up and count the battle losses and the number of people killed, and hand over the captured soldiers and armors in turn! Get up quickly! This is the only way to get the reward!" Don’t let those bastards from the Rokkaku family take advantage!”
"Yes! We can't let the Rokkaku family take advantage of them!" The samurai quickly got up and called on the ashigaru to collect their trophies.
Post-war statistics soon came out, showing that 2,200 Omi Shibei people died in the battle, and more than 1,500 people were disabled or disabled. A total of 6,000 troops lost more than half of their combat strength. Every survivor had a loss of more than half.
There were injuries all over the body. The lightest ones were scratched, which shows how brutal the battle was.
Mikawa prepared for the battle to die 500 times, and there were basically no serious disabilities, but there were many with minor injuries. This was still the most elite force of the Kira family, and the battle fatality rate was as high as one-sixth. If it were not for the protection of professional training and armor, the Kira army would have been able to
The possibility of winning this battle is slim. I am afraid that the number of casualties will be doubled, and the Miyoshi family will not be able to retreat. It is very likely that the entire army will be annihilated between the sources of the river on the north bank of Katsura River.
At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and Kira's army began to clean the battlefield to rescue the surviving comrades and inflict wounds on the surviving opponents one by one. The military commander began to count the first actual inspection, and the doctors from Kyoto were busy boiling water to treat the injuries of the wounded soldiers. Kira Yoshi
Shi quickly received news that the Tanba people were besieging Yagi Castle and the food route to Tanba was cut off. This was the reason why the Miyoshi Army retreated so readily.
According to statistics, the Mihaoshi family abandoned a total of more than 5,000 corpses, and more than 1,000 of them died under the iron hoofs of Ma Hui and Chi Bei. Unfortunately, both sides were exhausted. If either side still had the energy to pursue, it was very likely that
Evolving into a collapse, but this possibility will never exist.
Miyoshi Nagakei did not rush back to Tanba, but returned to the camp to continue stationing. Both sides knew that there would be no further fighting. Up to 40% of Kira's army died in the battle, and nearly 30% of Miyoshi's army died in the battle. The worst thing was
With the escape route cut off and Kira still in front of them, Rokkaku's coalition forces blocked the way, and Kamiro's dream of seizing Kyoto came to an end.
With the advantage of capturing Miyoshi Choitsu and more than 1,000 Miyoshi family members, Miyoshi Chokei was able to surrender. At the same time, the court in Kyoto also began to move. Kira Yoshitoki's adopted brother, brother-in-law, future brother-in-law, and right minister Konoe Haritsugu
At this time, he appeared at the Kira Army camp. The first thing he said when he came over was to congratulate Kira Yoshi for his victory over Sanzhu.
Then Konoe Haritsugu said: "Sanzhu has agreed to reach peace, and he promised not to oppose the shogunate again!"
"How many years does Sanzhu's promise last?" Kira Yoshihide sneered.
"This is nothing you and I can worry about! We are lucky enough to be at peace!" Konoe Haritsugu shook his head and laughed, and then said: "You should think about yourself first! There have been three battles in the past few days. Let's break it first.
Naito Zongsheng defeated 15,000, defeated Miyoshi Yixian by 10,000, and today defeated Sanzhu by 16,000, your martial name will be spread all over the world in no time!"
Kira Yoshihi smiled bitterly and said: "Brother, have you seen that my camp is full of injuries and illnesses? These are the elites of hundreds of battles who have piled up real money and silver. Nearly three thousand people died in the battle. Their vitality is really badly damaged!"
"For the sake of the shogunate, you always have to pay some price!" Konoe Haritsugu comforted: "When you ask for justice, trust the shogunate and the court, and they will give you fair treatment."
"I hope so!"
In the following days, the two sides faced off. Although the samurai were very angry, the senior officials of both sides knew that the joint war could not be fought. Therefore, with the full mediation of the right minister Konoe Haritsugu, Miyoshi Nagakei reached an agreement with the shogunate.
The conditions for peace and harmony are that the control of Yamashiro Kingdom is vested in the shogunate, Shoryuji Castle is returned to the shogunate, and the Miyoshi Army completely withdraws from Yamashiro Kingdom.
At the same time, Miyoshi Nagakei also took a step back to give up Hosokawa Utsumoto, but the prerequisite was that Hosokawa Harumoto abdicated and went into seclusion in Settsu Province, Hosokawa Utsuna became the new shogunate leader, and Miyoshi Nagakei continued to sit in Akutagawa Mountain Castle as the leader.
Of course, this was just a manager named Mingyu, and he could only follow Miyoshi Nagakei and continue to be a polished commander in Akutagawa Mountain Castle.
It seems that this condition is very harsh, and there is not even any substantial concession, but in fact Miyoshi Chokei only legalized the territory he obtained. The control of Yamashiro Kingdom and Kyoto was fully recognized by Miyoshi Chokei, which is equivalent to
The two sides delineated the actual dividing line, the shogunate's Yamashiro country was protected, and the Miyoshi family was certain that they would not conflict with the shogunate again in a few years.
It's just that Rokkaku Yoshiken is a little unhappy. He originally wanted to inherit his father's position and continue to be the leader, but now it is so abolished, but he doesn't want to think about it. Just based on his poor performance in the Battle of Katsuragi, Ashikaga Yoshito can make him
Are you sure you can let him be the leader? Without Kira Yoshi's hard work, this discussion might have resulted in him, the shogunate, escaping from Kyoto in humiliation again.
Of course, after the general topic was over, Miyoshi Nagakei did not pay the price. First, he redeemed the 3,500 defeated prisoners at a sky-high price of 30,000 gu, as well as the injured Naito Munekatsu and the "serially defeated general" Miyoshi.
Chang Yi also took out three thousand guan and one thousand five hundred guan and presented them to the shogunate and the imperial court respectively.
Miyoshi Nagakei was promoted to the official position of No. 4 Koshikoshi, and Yoshihide Miyoshi also got his wish and obtained the official position of No. 5 Shimo Toyozenmori. The two of them served as the shogunate's imperial ministers, and their status as imperial ministers was confirmed by the main family.
And he actually had a meal in the same room as Ashikaga Yoshito. Of course, the meal must have been very unpleasant. Ashikaga Yoshito got very angry afterwards.
In order to declare his influence, Miyoshi Nagakei took Miyoshi Yoshihide and his officials to visit Toji Temple and Daitoku Temple in Kyoto for three days during the peace negotiations. After all the issues were concluded, he led 15,000 troops and swaggered through
Katsuraikawa returned to Settsu Province, and Yoshitoki Kira then withdrew his remaining troops to Sakamoto, while he himself was left in Kyoto.
When he saw Ashikaga Yoshitō in the Nijo Imperial Palace, he was in a very good mood. He said to Kira Yoshitoshi: "Hosokawa Kyōjo is confined in the Fumon Temple in Settsu Province, along with his wife.
I was taken away by Miyoshi's family and kept in a claustrophobic state. The long-planned strategy was finally used! It's so satisfying! Hahaha..."
Except for Hosokawa Seishomaru, who was strongly requested by the Hosokawa family to be resettled in Kyoto, Hosokawa Harumoto and his family were all escorted to Settsu Province for confinement in Pumon Temple. This time, the shogunate and Miyoshi Nagakei teamed up to trap Hosokawa Haru.
Yuan, he was taken away from Nijo Imperial Palace without even a chance to react. The monks in Fumon Temple are all monks brought from Awa Kingdom. They will be responsible for ensuring that Hosokawa Harumoto is alive and healthy and never leaves.
Don't leave this temple.
"This is indeed good news!" Kira Yoshitoki and Ashikaga Yoshitoki looked at each other and smiled. Both of them were very satisfied with the situation. Hosokawa Harumoto was claustrophobic as expected, and Rokkaku Yoshiken must have jumped in anger at this time.
Bar!
He stole the chicken but lost the rice. He thought that when he released the water, Kiraichi would be killed and he would sell it to Miyoshi's family. Unexpectedly, not only did Kiraichi not die, but he became famous because of this war. He fought three times.
It can be called a classic. Coupled with the outpost battle of the Awaji Navy and the battle to capture Miyoshi Changitsu alive, the splendor is enough to go down in history.
Now many ministers in the imperial court, as well as many businessmen traveling in Kyoto, Sakai Town, and Sakamoto, have quickly spread the results of this war to the entire Japan. The big villain of the war is naturally Miyoshi Nagakei, and another buffoon
It was Sasaki Rokkaku Yoshihide who famously marched for two hours from Kamogawa to Katsura River, and his 13,000 troops could not defeat Miyoshi Yoshihide's 5,000 troops for half a day.
The reputation of the Rokkaku family was also very bad at this time. The legitimate son of Rokkaku Sadarai, who was in charge of the authority, had such a poor performance that he was even suspected of being a liaison with the Miyoshi family. As a result, he also had the reputation of being a "dark fool".
He must be regretting it to death now.
The damage to his reputation is secondary. What Rokkaku Yoshiken cannot accept the most is his sister and brother-in-law being detained in Miyoshi Chokei Prison for a lifetime. His father Rokkaku Sadayori entrusted him with it before he died.
Together with my brother-in-law, I want to defend the Kinai hegemony of Hosokawa and Rokkaku.
Moreover, Rokkaku Yoshiken has had a good relationship with his sister since he was a child. Seeing his sister and brother-in-law being taken away and imprisoned by Miyoshi Chokei, Rokkaku Yoshiken was furious at leaving, in order to redeem his dishonorable performance, and to save his sister and brother-in-law.
, Rokkaku Yoshiken swore in front of his father's soul that day that he would be incompatible with the Miyoshi family.
The retainers of the Rokkaku family were also surprisingly united this time. They also encouraged Rokkaku Yoshihide to trick the Kira family. Their original intention was to express their jealousy to Shiga and Takashima two counties. If the Kira family perished on the spot, who would know this?
What’s the inside story?
It's a pity that they also have to pay the price for this crooked idea. Rokkaku Yoshiken has a dishonorable reputation, and their own reputation is not much better. As a retainer, if you can't speak out your loyalty and advice, you are incompetent, and let the 13,000 Rokkaku army go unchecked.
To do nothing for five thousand people is dereliction of duty. According to contemporary universal values, they can commit seppuku.
But who is willing to die with this idea? Except for a few retainers who foolishly commit seppuku, more retainers still crane their necks to live longer. They also find a seemingly upright reason for themselves: "At least they must wash away their shame before committing suicide."
, otherwise wouldn’t it be more meaningless to die in humiliation?”
Not to mention how shameless the Rokkaku family's retainers are, in short, the Rokkaku family's retainers are unprecedentedly united around the Rokkaku family with Rokkaku Yoshihide as the core, and they work hard to avenge Rokkaku Yoshihide. For this, they don't mind
If you start a war with Miyoshi Chokei, why don't you run away if you can't defeat him? The vast mountains in Koka County are also the "Sakamoto Imperial Palace" of the Rokkaku family.
Just like the Ashikaga family has a tradition of running away, the Rokkaku family also has a tradition of running away. Rokkaku Yoshihide's grandfather Rokkaku Takayori was the Rokkaku run in the early Warring States Period. He was driven away to a mountain den in Koka by the brothers Ashikaga Yoshinaga and Ashikaga Yoshisai.
After hiding twice, can Miyoshi Changqing be more powerful than two generations of shoguns?
Besides, what are the people of the Rokkaku family's retainers afraid of? If the Rokkaku family loses, it will be the Rokkaku family who loses. If the Mihaoshi family fights, they will most likely surrender. If Mihaoshi Changqing wants to survive, he has to pinch his nose and admit it. Therefore, the retainers gathered together to fight against the Mihaoshi family, too.
There is no pressure at all. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
