Chapter 423: House of Flying Daggers

Learning lessons in time and correcting mistakes is the way to be a general. Numata Yumitsu immediately made corresponding adjustments. First, he sent someone to contact the Kira Navy and asked the iron artillery team to clear out the iron artillery ashigaru in the camp one by one.

The Yixiang Yikui Iron Artillery Team in the camp indeed used iron cannons to fight back. After a few rounds of fire at each other, the Yixiang Yikui Iron Artillery Team in the camp found that they could not defeat the Iron Artillery Team outside the camp at all.

The iron artillery team of the Kira Navy fired at the camp from 80 meters away, with bamboo bundles and rifle rifles placed in front of them as shields. Moreover, they were half-kneeling to reduce the chance of being shot, and they had no sense of defense.

The iron artillery team responded with the simplest standing fire. Their iron artillery can only shoot targets 30 meters away at most. Beyond 30 meters, the power is greatly reduced and the accuracy is greatly reduced. It can hardly affect targets 80 meters away.

Kira Iron Artillery Corps.

The iron artillery team also discovered something completely different. It took twenty breaths for them to reload one round of firing, while the iron artillery team outside the camp seemed to not need to reload at all. They fired one round at a time.

There was another round of shooting, and the interval between each round of shooting was only two or three short breaths. Although the number of their volleys was completely insufficient, the continuous sound of iron cannons not only brought a huge impact to the ashigaru in the camp.

The casualties also brought huge psychological pressure to this iron artillery team.

Because of the distance, I don't know how many people died outside the camp, but every salvo fired outside the camp sounded basically the same. On the contrary, the iron artillery team inside the camp was always firing in the gap between each salvo.

Between a dozen and twenty Iron Cannon Ashigaru were killed. After six rounds of this kind of shooting, Genjin Sugiura had to give up this strategy. One hundred and thirty of the 500 Iron Cannon Ashgaru were killed.

, more than 80 people were injured, nearly half of them seriously, and most of the remaining lightly injured people will never be able to pick up iron cannons again.

Masuzawa Kochiin, who always pointed at the iron cannon head of the iron artillery team, said fiercely: "It's really abominable! What kind of magic did this Kira army use to keep firing iron cannons! We have lost so many iron cannons."

It’s light, but the number of their gunshots hasn’t changed! This must be witchcraft!”

Sugiura Gennin nodded and said: "Please ask Kochiin Hobashi to lead the soldiers down for treatment!"

The first monk's rank was established in the Asuka period. After many improvements in the Nara period and the Heian period, a system corresponding to the monk's outline and the monk's rank was established. This system from top to bottom is the Hoin Daimonk's rank, the Ho'an monk's rank, and the Hobashi.

The monks in the superior position are further divided into the great monks in the position of the great monk Fayin, the monks in the monks' position, the monks in the monk's position, the great monks in the Fayan monk's position, the great monks in the monk's position, the young monks in the monk's position, the great monks in the monk's position on the bridge.

Lawyer, lawyer, lawyer.

All the chief priests of the Kaga Ichiko sect are members of the Hobashi family, but their ranks are very low, about the lowest level of a lawyer. They can only compete with young monks in their early twenties. Those with slightly higher status, such as Gen Sugiura,

Ren and most of the other monks are at the lawyer level, and those at a higher level, such as Hannyain Shino, who stayed at Ishiyama Honganji for three years, reached the barrister level.

Most of the monks, including the three dead monks, are at this level. As for the monk Fayan, he can be said to be a person with quite a say in Kaga. For example, the deceased Kotoku Temple Chengxian was the master monk.

Usually, in document records and titles, you can use such-and-such Dharma bridge and so-and-so Dharma eye. However, in daily use, monks and officials are often called, just because the name of the person on the Dharma bridge is too low, and the monks who love face are all

Use Faqiao to identify yourself and avoid asking about specific monks and officials.

Watching Masuzawa Kochiin slowly leave, Sugiura Gento thought about the countermeasures with a cold face. The only way to deal with the exhaustion was to charge and defeat the annoying iron artillery team in Kira's army, so he gave the order to pour out of the camp.

Three thousand ashigaru rushed out, and it was really not easy to come up with a temporary way to deal with the Kira family. When an ordinary iron artillery team encounters the rushing ashigaru, if they don't have support, they will probably panic and disrupt the formation. The leader

The general can take the opportunity to harvest these panicked iron artillery teams.

It's a pity that what he encountered was the iron artillery team of the Kira Army. There were not only the iron artillery team but also the roasting team.

Round pieces of baked jade were thrown out under the action of a simple slingshot. In an instant, bright flames rose up along with the shattered pottery shards. Broken flesh and blood and broken limbs could be seen in the billowing smoke.

The tragic scene was flying everywhere, because the explosion point happened to be on the only road outside the camp. Therefore, many people were killed and injured by the broken pottery pieces. The three thousand soldiers who had just rushed out of the camp gate were overwhelmed by this.

He was petrified by the terrible sight.

Not only have the size of these baked jades quadrupled, but the gunpowder formula has been optimized many times and their power is even more astonishing. With the great development of the porcelain and pottery industry in Omi Kenta Town, stronger and more stable baked jade containers have been developed. In addition, the formula of the gunpowder fuse has also been improved.

It has been improved, and strict calculations ensure that it will detonate about five seconds after ignition. Compared with the previous very dangerous first-generation baked jade, the new generation of baked jade is much safer and more stable.

Another improved simple trebuchet. In fact, this is not an invention because this thing has been widely used in both the Central Plains Dynasty and ancient Europe. Naturally, there were also related applications in ancient Japan. It is just because the construction of road facilities cannot keep up with the routine, and in Kamakura

All the fortresses before the end of the century were worse than the camps set up by bandits. At any rate, the current fortress can still be regarded as a Tulou cottage. Three hundred years ago, it was just a few small houses inside a fence, just like the level of a primitive settlement.

Therefore, since the trebuchets were introduced to Japan from the Central Plains Dynasty, there have been serious problems with the acclimatization of the soil. It is expensive to build and maintain, and it is very difficult to transport. The cattle and horses in Japan are not rich. They are either used as mounts for the nobles or to pull carts for the nobles.

There are very few farmers left to work as labor force, let alone dragging such a heavy trebuchet hundreds of kilometers away to destroy several broken villages at the foot of the mountain.

The Onin Rebellion happened because they were fighting near Kyoto. The Eastern and Western armies dug out a bunch of messy things from their homes, including a lot of siege equipment including trebuchets, as well as firecrackers passed down from the early Ming Dynasty.

, after finally trying it out, I felt it was still not suitable for me and I gave up completely.

The Kira family worked hard to dig out the relevant structural principles from old papers in Kyoto, and then made a simple trebuchet. Its function is not to throw huge stones, but to throw a large baked jade as big as a head. This weight

The gap in the trebuchet is destined to be much easier to operate than the heavy trebuchet. Compared with the small surnamed baked jade that shrinks a few sizes when manually thrown, the larger size means more charge and more power.

amazing.

The unexpected violent explosion caused huge physical and mental trauma to the army. Unfortunately, the leading ashigaru was blown to pieces in the first wave of explosions. The remaining ashigaru turned around and headed into the camp without saying a word.

In the process of turning back and forth, more than a dozen baked jade balls were thrown out, killing no less than 300 people, making their retreat as fast as a rabbit running away.



"Why did you lose? Why did you lose so quickly?" Chaoshengji Miteru still did not forget to think about the cause of his defeat while riding his horse to retreat. Smart people are always good at summarizing their own gains and losses. Chaoshengji Miteru

He considers himself to be a first-class smart man in Kaga Kingdom, and strives to do better than others at every step, so he can hold down the position of the general by suppressing the teachings of the Chaoshengji Temple.

Carefully recalling the short period of less than ten days since coming to Ezhong, it seems that I have not made any mistakes that are irreparable. If I insist on saying that there is a mistake, it is that killing Kotokuji Chengxian was too hasty, and suddenly an idea flashed.

He suddenly realized: "The poor monk understood that it was because of the death of Chengxian of Guangde Temple. There were 18,000 defeated soldiers under him. It seemed that they were scattered and integrated into the 30,000 defeated troops. So...

Now I can explain why I lost so quickly! The poor monk was just too lax. And because..."

Chaoshengji Mikaru turned around and saw Hannyain Zhenru with a smile on his face. He couldn't help sighing, but there was nothing he could do. Who said he was a hero? It was difficult for him to be a "beauty". When he met a new love, he naturally lost interest in the old love. In order to satisfy the "beauty"

He would not hesitate to ask for anything, even if it means going up to the sword or into the sea of ​​fire, but in the end he forgot that Guangde Temple Chengxian was not only his old love, but also an important figure who sat at the head of a county and held military and political power.

The people he sent to Korinji Temple, Anyangji Temple, and Honxiangji Temple were all just drunkards who were just enjoying their military exploits. Apart from memorizing a few scriptures, they didn’t know anything, and they didn’t even know the explanations of the scriptures.

The explanation is not clear, let alone high-level knowledge such as military strategy and wisdom. In the eyes of Chaoshengji Miteru, they are just empty-headed people who know nothing but eating, drinking, playing and sleeping. They are born thanks to the blessings of their ancestors.

A good-for-nothing straw bag.

The three idiots didn't understand military strategy and could only rely on the dedicated efforts of the subordinate officials. But because he killed Guangdeji Chengxian, this was worse than replacing a general on the spot. The military morale of Guangdeji Chengxian's old army was greatly reduced.

Shaken, the worst thing is that so many people from top to bottom did not notice the strange mood of the officials. Even he was busy playing with Prajna Academy Zhenru, and did not pay attention to the fire below.

If he could wake up a little and keep the old 18,000 members of Guangtoku Temple Chengxian with him, but replace it with another one, the problem would not be so serious, but he once again ignored this hidden danger and allowed three

The idiot led a group of disloyal officers to attack the city at night. Everyone from the soldiers to the officers had deep resentments. Who would try their best to attack the city? Naturally, the three idiots would do whatever they said.

Maybe it's possible to spend a night outside Zengshan City and then withdraw.

The problem that had troubled him for a long time was solved, and the remaining problems were solved in the blink of an eye. He said to himself in annoyance: "First of all, the poor monk should not have killed the wise man of Guangde Temple in vain; secondly, he should not have forgotten to appease the morale of the army; thirdly, he should not have sent

The troops with shaken morale went to the front line. Fourthly, they should not have sent three idiots who did not understand military strategy to the front line. Fifthly, they should not have repeatedly misjudged the situation and thought they could still fight the Kira army."

In vain, he thought that his strategy was foolproof, but he accidentally made five major mistakes, so that he didn't realize that he had failed in a confused way. Let's not talk about how angry he was at his arrogance and stupidity. The problem is

The current situation made him worried again. His camp on the west bank of Zhuangchuan River was more than 20 kilometers away from Sangshan City. Marching on foot for such a long distance would take at least two hours. His 30,000 troops could attack at any time.

May encounter unexpected events.

In fact, there is one thing he hasn't said yet. Kaga always uses such big moves to kill, but actually he doesn't show much real ability at all. Seventy-eight percent of the 100,000 troops are just fake, and the essence of Kaga is concentrated in Echizen and Echizen.

For the internal defense of Jiangnuma County in the west, there are only a few elites who are cherished like treasures and reluctant to use them, but they don't know that the more they are like this, the harder it will be to win the battle.

Last time, 110,000 people could not defeat a branch city of Matsukura Castle with only a few thousand people guarding it. This time, it was even more difficult for 100,000 people to take down Zengshan City, which was guarded by tens of thousands of troops. That’s why we attacked

A big trap was revealed the next day, forcing him to flee in embarrassment with his men and horses. Kaga's demeanor as a general was nowhere to be seen.

This time, the strategy of Xiang Zong's deployment was not clearly thought out, or Chaoshengji Miteru did not have time to elaborate on what his pursuit was when he came out, whether it was the territory of several counties in Ezhong or revenge and bad breath. He sent out this issue without thinking about it.

An army of 50,000 soldiers marched into the center of Vietnam. After a defeat, they still insisted on leading an army of 50,000 people to go to the rescue. During this time, more than 100,000 people were thrown into the center of Vietnam without even a splash. This war had been lost from the beginning.

Most of it fell off.

"The poor monk is wrong again. He left in such a hurry that he didn't even know the movements of the Kira army. Uesugi Danmasa, Kakizaki Izumi, and Saito Noshu's troops have no idea where they are. What should I do if they encounter a surprise attack?

?" The more Mikasa Choshoji thought about it, the more frightened he became. The more frightened he became, the more he couldn't help but become nervous. He looked back around the field to look for places where he might encounter an ambush.

As the saying goes, whatever you are afraid of comes. The poorer you are, the more ghosts you see, and the colder and windier it is. Choshoji Miteru was worried about an ambush, but he really encountered the last thing he wanted to see.

It happened to be dawn at dawn, and a light mist was floating on the Tonami Plain. The troops who had been running in the middle of the night arrived in front of Changyuan Temple, tired and hungry. No matter how much the officials urged and scolded them, they were unwilling to walk another half step.

In desperation, Choshoji Mitaru ordered a pot to be cooked. Although there were rice balls with dry food to eat, you couldn't just eat the lunch box. You had to get some rice to make a bowl of rice soup and sprinkle some salt and kombu to make it easier to swallow.

As soon as the steaming rice and soup came out of the pot, they heard the rumble of iron hoofs on the ground. Not only were the ashigaru below panicked, but even the battle-hardened officials were at a loss.

"Oops! This is an ambush and a surprise attack on the path that the poor monk must pass! The poor monk is still on his way!" Chaoshengji Mikaru could tell at a glance that the appearance of Kira's army was too coincidental, and there was no movement in the plains without any cover around him.

They can all spread very far. But when they set up camp and cooked, there was no movement, and when the rice and soup were almost done, they suddenly came out. The ghosts were not lying in ambush around them.

The next moment, the officials reacted and shouted: "Don't be stunned! Separate your troops and resist quickly! We must stop them for the sake of the monk!"

The five thousand elites surrounding Choshoji Miteru suddenly came to life and shouted: "Namu Amitabha!" They raised their spears and swords and rushed towards the Kira army who suddenly came out.

Chaoshoji Miteru was surrounded by a group of monk soldiers and fled towards the Yamada River in the southwest corner. The Kakizaki Keie family who was attacking saw the oncoming 5,000 troops with a strict formation and high morale. He immediately ordered a circuitous route to the north and dragged the 5,000 elites in a circle.

As soon as Miteru Choshoji fled, his troops could no longer stabilize their morale. The remaining Kaga troops left an ashigaru team to stop the rest, and followed their footsteps under the leadership of various district officials.

Chaoshengji Miiteru was escorted by five hundred monk soldiers. The long followers beside Chaoshengji Miiteru acted as flags. The leaders were Chaoshengji Shengzhi, who was as big and round as a glaring Vajra, and the two brothers Chaoshengji Shengli.

Holding a cast-iron Zen staff and riding a horse, he protected Choshoji Mitaru from left to right as he crossed the river. Before he could continue forward, he was intercepted by Saito Nobunobu and his black dragoons.

"Master monks, hurry up! We are here to open the way for you!" Chaoshengsi Shengzhi, Chaoshengsi Shengli roared and rode out, and the officials from all walks of life also joined the melee crowd with thousands of retreating troops.

Choshoji Mitaru was not in the mood to watch the rare scene of the two brothers fighting Saito Nobubu, so he continued to escape towards Kuwayama Castle with 500 monk soldiers and less than 10,000 defeated troops.

In this short half hour, he encountered two groups of surprise attacks, and lost all the trump cards in his hand. The angry Chaoshengji Miteru cursed: "I still think I can fight with Kira's army. This is a poor monk."

Why fight? It’s not easy to return to Kuwayama Castle safely! I definitely don’t dare to expect a complete victory... No! I just don’t expect to save face anymore and can let the poor monk return to Kaga safely.

!”

Prajna Zhenru only had a superficial understanding of military strategy, and he didn’t know what fun it was to fight and kill. It was not as fun as him playing with the monks, so he persuaded with a smile: "Don’t be angry, monks, Kira Jun."

Weak people can only use this sneak attack method to seek victory, which just shows that our Kaga has always been more powerful!"

Chaoshengji Mitaru smiled and shook his head. He couldn't hold a straight face and scolded his new love. He said half-annoyingly, half-lovingly: "You little clever guy, don't talk nonsense! You can't interfere in military affairs."

General Kaga, who had always warned General Kaga, did not forget to communicate with his own people on the way to escape. The officials did not dare to come over to make themselves uncomfortable. More than 10,000 troops crossed the Koyabe River smoothly.

A large army of troops came here. The troops were frightened by the successive raids and did not dare to move. When the envoy took a closer look at the banner of "Namo Amitabha", he realized that it was his own army, so he immediately looked at the court with great joy.

Friendly troops came forward.

However, Chaoshengji Mikaru was not as happy as the officials. He looked at the army in confusion and stared at the flags carefully for a long time. He murmured in a low voice: "That is... the reason for the post of divine protector! How did he get here?

Here? Shouldn’t we be monitoring the Kira Army’s movements at the Tohokan? Could it be... Oops! We can’t let them come here!”

The moment he issued the order, the chief priest suddenly threw down the flag of Xiang Yikui, drew his sword and slashed wildly at the unsuspecting Xiang Yikui army. The people who were caught off guard by Xiang Yikui army and were killed turned their horses on their backs, and then fell into the forest behind him.

Thousands of soldiers poured out of it and came from all directions.

The shortcut in the direction of Sangshan City has been completely cut off. Seeing that tens of thousands of troops have emerged to block the way, the courage of the frontal attack is also forced to retreat as the arrows rain like rain. After fleeing in the middle of the night, I am tired and hungry.

They were so frightened by the successive raids that they became insane and completely forgot that they were the most vicious group in the world. They fled back like a group of frightened rabbits.

There was no road ahead, and the situation in Kawara was unknown. The only option was to turn around and flee on the road we were coming from. This would cost us two thousand men and horses, and then we finally turned around and headed back to the original road. We finally managed to wade across the Koyabe River and Kaga.

The army that had always been strong was pushed back to the east coast again. This time, thousands of troops were lost in vain. Chaoshengji Miteru really wanted to slap himself.

The water of the Koyabe River is simply not deep, and even peasants and soldiers who cannot swim can struggle to cross it. However, the east bank of the Koyabe River has been fiercely attacked by Saito Nobunobu and the Vietnamese and Chinese reinforcements who arrived later. It is obvious that the Jinbo Nagasho Division

All the 23,000 troops rebelled against Li Qie.

It is a small delta between the Koyabe River and the Yamada River. The terrain of this delta is very similar to the Hachimanhara on Kawanaka Island. There are several villages here. The largest village is called Kirigokuso and has about 500 households. The other two villages

They are respectively called Qiantianzhuang and Wantianzhuang. The two villages together can barely top the Mingtong Village, so this place is often called Tongmu Village.

Chaoshengji Mizuru trudged across the river. He left and returned half an hour later, but his mood was completely different. He looked in despair at the noisy troops approaching from all directions, and their faces were distorted with excitement.

It was so familiar yet strange, and I couldn't tell how frustrated and depressed I felt. Chaoshengji Mitaru knew that there was no hope for him.

The chief minister of the gods was very courageous, and he did not hesitate to place heavy bets in order to make a comeback. Chaoshengji Miteru sent all the followers of the Yixiang sect in Ezhong to lead him. In his eyes, the strength of the 23,000 troops was better than that of 10,000 taels.

Gold is more attractive. The short-term power of commanding troops reminded him to be cautious and not to be killed like the wise man of Guangtoku Temple.

Jinbo Nagaji was not the chief official of the Ichiko clan. Although his father Jinbo Keizong was once close to Echu Ichiki and tried to trick Nagao Nokage to death, he quickly got rid of the influence of the Ichiko clan and quickly transformed into a pure Sengoku daimyo.

, it was only the appearance of Nagao Mikage, who had a strong desire to take revenge on Jinbo Keizong, that the momentum of the Jinbo family's rise was interrupted.

After his father Jinbo Keizune was killed by Nagao Mikai, the young Jinbo Choji struggled to reach adulthood under the protection of his senior ministers. He also used the name of a direct descendant of the Jinbo clan to summon the original class left by his father.

After more than 20 years of hard work and hard work, they gradually put the declining family business back on track, achieving a pattern of conquering Tonami County in the west and invading the Shiina clan in Shinkawa County in the east.

Before the Kira family invaded Echu, all this was progressing in an orderly manner. Shiina Nagasune, an old monster, was also forced by him to live in seclusion and not care about worldly affairs. The new Shiina Yasuin who came to power was a person with great ambition and talent.

But I don't know how many times I was away. Who would have thought that taking advantage of Takeda Shingen's generous financial support to cooperate with Etchu Ichikui to deal with the Kira family several times, it would bring huge disasters to myself.

At present, the whole territory of Vietnam and China is occupied by the Kira family. The governor of the family made a mistake and chose to flee to Kaga for support. As a result, he spent a lot of money and traveled a lot of wrong roads. In the end, he could not even see the face of Chaoshengji Miteru.

, and this wish money was thrown out and people didn't get it back, which made him realize that the monks in Kaga are just a bunch of bastards who take money and don't do anything.

After living in Kaga for several months, I thought I would lose the chance to return to Echu. However, I accidentally met Sugiura Gento, invited him to a few banquets, and successfully made friends with him. With his help, I successfully met him.

Chaoshengji Mizhao, and got some seemingly reliable guarantees from him. From this series of twists and turns, he realized the eternal truth that people leave their hometown and become humble.

This time when he returned to Ezhong, he was determined not to go back. He was optimistic about Chaoshengji Miteru before because Kaga was too powerful. It was scary to send out an army ranging from tens to hundreds of thousands at every turn. But when he discovered that in the past

The arrogant Kaga, who has always been arrogant, felt that after encountering the Kira Legion, his confidence was shaken. What should he do if he can't hold on? If he returns to Kaga, will he have a chance to come back next time?

The answer is naturally no. If he loses even his underwear, Kaga will never dare to touch Echu again. Just when he is confused and at a loss, Chaoshengji Mikaru leads an army of 50,000 to fight again.

Entering Yuezhong, he recruited more than 20,000 followers of the Yuezhong Yixiang Sect along the way. This powerful incitement made him both envious and fearful.

It was only after a few days of contact that he discovered that this Choshoji Miteru was not a good thing at all. The enemy could still kill a general who commanded tens of thousands of troops in the formation, and his IQ was only that of Yoshitaka Ouchi.

The idiot is so smart that no one can deceive him. In fact, when it comes to the issue of competing for favor, it's like having a bucket of dung poured into his head.

It doesn't matter if that's the case. Anyway, as long as Zengshan Castle is restored to the old territory of Tonha County, it would be best to take back the territories of Fufu County and Sheshui County together, but the subsequent task assignments and arrangements clearly make him a "foreign country".

It is the job of a guard dog to play football and guard the gate. For him, the largest native of Yuechu, who was once praised as the "guardian" of the Jimbo clan by Ota Michigan, to become a guard dog, this is a sign of his dignity.

What a huge insult.

The subsequent arrangement even revealed his intention to turn Masuyama Castle, where he held the post of divine protection, into his own territory. If even his home castle was taken away, how much territory would be left to him is a question worth debating. From that moment on

, Jinbo Nagasaki had completely given up on Kaga Ichikazu, so Kojima Job Town appeared.

The excited face of the Chief Divine Protector was distorted and ferocious, and he yelled at the top of his lungs: "His Royal Highness Gongfang has promised to exempt the followers of the Yuezhong Ixiang Sect from the punishment. As long as you follow my family and kill Chaoshengji Miteru and the Ichigozu bandit army, you will not only be exempted

There will be heavy penalties of sitting and banishment, and there will also be a huge reward for you! There are also relatives and friends who live on Sado Island who can redeem them. If you don’t do it now, when will you wait?” (To be continued. If
