Asakura Yoshikage saw that his alliance initiative methods were completely ineffective and did not convene. As soon as the plan failed, he thought of mobilizing the rebellion of the people in Takashima County. Perhaps the strength of the Asakura family had already penetrated into the hearts of the Kinai samurai, and the North Korea
Kura Yoshikage's envoy persuaded many samurai in Takashima County with just a few words. Except for the Takashima Nanato in the county who was always ambiguous, there were quite a few other people from all walks of life who listened to the Asakura family's bewitchment.
Seeing a somewhat turbulent situation in Takashima County, Asakura Yoshikage wrote to his brother-in-law Asai Nagamasa, encouraging him to take advantage of this opportunity to launch an invasion of the Rokkaku family.
Once this straw bag was flattened and rounded, the entire Omi no longer had the power to resist the Kinai Three Kingdoms Alliance.
This request played right into Asai Nagamasa's wish. He had been eyeing the Rokkaku family for a long time. Especially last year, Rokkaku Yoshihide was a rare idiot who did not give up. He fought against Miyoshi Yoshihide in the battle of Luozhong.
It was dark and dark, the mountains and rivers changed color, and in the end, he lost more than 8,000 people and a few family elders got involved, which can be said to be a serious loss of vitality.
But when they came to only get a symbolic reward of the four nobles as an encouragement reward, and 5,000 Guan Wen Yongle coins as compensation for the loyal and brave dead warriors, the members of the Hexagonal Family Tree were already filled with resentment against the strong-willed public, but
They couldn't get angry at the shogunate, so only Rokkaku Yoshiken, the unlucky family governor, would be shot.
At a time when the Rokkaku family was in turmoil and chaos, Asai Nagamasa had the idea of killing you while you were sick, so he hit it off with the Asakura family and immediately summoned the people of the Asai family to discuss sending troops. The people of Kitaomi also knew this very well.
There were internal disputes and conflicts within the Rokkaku family. It took almost no time to finalize the deployment, but before dispatching the troops, they received information from the Miyoshi family.
Miyoshi Nagakei, as the initiator and de facto leader of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, also expressed support for his son-in-law Asai Nagamasa to send troops to capture the Rokkaku family as soon as possible. His support was to send 5,000 troops across the Yodogawa River to station in the eastern part of Yamashiro Kingdom, pretending to be a threat.
The appearance of the Rokkaku family's left wing attracted real pressure from the Asai family, which attracted Rokkaku Yoshihide's main force and could not completely turn to the north. At the same time, Miyoshi Nagakei appointed Matsunagahide to light up his son-in-law's strategy. This fire is the strategy.
In early May of the third year of Eiroku, with the help of Matsunaga Hide, he easily returned to his home, the lord of Hiden Castle in Aichi County, Takanose Hidetaka. His father, Takanoze Yorisada, had made meritorious service for the Rokkaku clan and died heroically in battle. However, he did not receive any response.
Therefore, Takanose Hidetaka was always dissatisfied with the Rokkaku family.
This dissatisfaction gradually fermented over time, especially when he saw that several of his former friends and colleagues were either promoted or assigned important responsibilities, which became even more unbalanced. After several maneuvers between Matsunagahide's envoys, he was easily persuaded to rebel. As for the rebellion,
I never thought about whether he could get the reward he needed in the future. Many times people are impulsive and blind. Takanose Hidetaka was an impulsive and blind samurai.
After he announced his betrayal and joined the Asai family, it caused a huge impact. When Rokkaku Yoshiken received the news, he was extremely angry. He felt that the Rokkaku family was quite good to him. Although there was no Tomoyo ennoblement, it was located in the east of Lake Biwa.
The land on the side is fertile and rich in products. This is a good place that many samurai in Omi-Koka County can't wait for.
What's more, Hitian Castle is responsible for the important task of guarding Kannonji Castle. It can be said that as long as the governor of the Rokkaku family is not clear-headed, they will never touch their clan. In the eyes of Rokkaku Yoshiken, Takanose Hidetaka is the least likely to cause problems.
Yihuan. Compared with the several more difficult family members in his family, the patriarch can definitely be regarded as a synonym for harmlessness between humans and animals.
But such a "good baby" suddenly grinned at him and even took refuge in the increasingly disobedient Asai family. This made Rokkaku Yoshihide feel very angry and humiliated. He felt that all the sincere treatment he had given over the past few decades was in vain.
So without saying a word, he led an army of 15,000 troops to attack Hida Castle. At the same time, he passed the information to Tokiyuki Yamamoto, who was in Sakamoto, hoping that he would keep an eye on the more than 5,000 nails of Miyoshi's military force on the border of Yamashiro Country.
Takanoze Hidetaka defended the castle while calling for help from the Asai family. However, Asai Nagamasa did not make the choice to go out immediately, but instead gathered his troops and waited in Otani Castle. He also considered the two extremes of sieges in the Warring States Period.
Either the city will be destroyed in a few days or the attack will be unsuccessful for a long time. I am worried that I will find that Feitian City has been breached before I get there. It is better to wait and see the situation before making adjustments. At the same time, it will also consume the energy of the Rokkaku family.
The Rokkaku family acted very quickly. Rokkaku Yoshihide led an army of 15,000 people and quickly surrounded Hida Castle. Hida Castle in Aichi County was too close to Kannonji Castle in Kamao County. It only took the Rokkaku Army one day.
When they came to the outside of Feitian City, they launched a massive siege. Rokkaku Yoshixian first sent symbolic envoys to persuade them to surrender, but when they failed to persuade them to surrender, they launched a massive siege.
However, his siege was still very clever. It can be seen that Rokkaku Yoshihide is a thoughtful family governor. He knew very well that the current situation of the Rokkaku family did not allow for the long-term siege of Feitian City, so he ordered the local conscription of general soldiers.
A dike was built around Hitian Castle, and the water from the Aichi River and Uso River on the north and south sides of Hitian Castle was introduced into the dike, with the intention of using water to capture and kill the rebellious Takanose Hidetaka of the Rokkaku family.
Aichi County is also known as Aichi County. Depending on the writing method, one of the characters often appears. For example, the two characters for Kaga are the characters. The Kamogawa River on the east side of Kyoto Castle can be called either Kamo River or Kamo River, so Aichi County
It is also called Aichi County, and the same reason applies to Aichi River and Aichi River.
His strategy indeed achieved extraordinary results. The Aichi River and the Uso River happened to surround Hieda Castle between the two rivers. There were ready-made dams on the two rivers that could be used. It only took a month to recruit 10,000 soldiers.
Build a dike as high as a room, use this dike as a basis to dig out the river dam and launch a water attack, which will immediately cause a devastating blow to Feitian City.
Most of Hitian Castle was submerged in the pond, and only Nimaru and above managed to escape the invasion of the flood by virtue of the height when the castle was built. Faced with such huge losses, Takanose Hidetaka was forced to a dead end. The more so, the more
He became more and more unwilling to surrender and admit defeat, because he knew that surrendering at this moment would only lead to death.
Facts have proved that his persistence is useful. June is the season with the most abundant rainfall. A huge storm swept across the Kinai area, causing the rivers in the Omi area to swell. The downpour lasted for more than ten days, causing the Aichi River and Uso River to swell.
This also caused flooding. The already weak river embankment was quickly breached by the flood, which in turn flooded the Hexagonal Army outside the embankment into drowned rats.
Rokkaku Yoshihide was almost mad to death. He thought that he would definitely succeed if all the mechanisms were used, and even used a set of water attacks to easily deal with the rebels in Feitian City. However, he forgot the most important thing about the timing of the general's way, and the flood washed away
The newly built but not strong dyke rushed into the plain and caused flooding. The Hexagon Army's Dazhai was flooded and many grain and grass supplies were scrapped.
The failure of the water attack caused a lot of losses. Now that it was no longer possible to siege the city, Rokkaku Yoshihide had no choice but to make the decision to rein in the troops and retreat. But at this time, Asai Nagamasa personally led an army of 11,000
Departing the battle at Minami Omi, he appeared forcefully in front of the Hexagon Army, ready to fight to the death.
Rokkaku Yoshihide knew very well that this battle was probably unavoidable, but how to fight was still a problem when the troops were disorganized and morale was low. He had to order his family's family retainers to quickly reinforce five thousand troops. These five thousand people were Rokkaku Yoshihide.
The five thousand recruits trained by Xian. Their first appearance was a big battle, so they were a bit uneasy.
With the addition of these 5,000 new troops, the Rokkaku family's military strength expanded to 20,000. Regardless of the loss of morale and food, at least they still had a certain advantage in numbers, so the two sides' military forces began to confront each other near Aichi County until
At the end of June, the clouds stopped and the rain stopped, revealing sunny weather. The floods receded and the excavated embankments were repaired. The generals on both sides realized that the war was about to begin.
Rokkaku Yoshihide led an army of 20,000 men and was stationed on the south bank of the Uso River south of Hieda Castle. He also sent Sadahide Kamao and Shigenaki Nagahara as avant-garde generals with 5,000 troops to set up a formation in Norada Township. Behind them, Kenmori Shindo
, Ikeda Keio, Narasaki Ikimori, and Tanaka Harubu set up defenses for the second formation.
Asai's army was assisted by Hyakuuchi Zozo, Isono Umasa and Chono Wakasa led the leading formation of 5,000 troops and set up a formation on the north bank of the Uso River with Hieda Castle as the rear. General Asai Nagamasa led Akao Mei to defend the Qing Dynasty.
Tsuna, Imamura Uji Nao, Anyangji Ujihide, and Uesaka Xingbu led 6,000 people as Hoshin to station outside Hiden Castle.
After several days of restlessness, Nagamasa Asai, who was still young and energetic, was determined to launch an attack. He ordered Masa Isono to lead 5,000 troops to cross the Uso River in force. The leading general of the Hexagon Army, Sadahide Kamao, decisively seized the precious opportunity to attack halfway across the river.
Opportunity to launch a surprise attack. Five thousand troops quickly attacked the Asai Army who was crossing the river. The Momomochi Sosuke Division was the first to collapse after stubbornly persisting for a while.
At this time, Asai Nagamasa had already warned that his army was going to be defeated. He immediately ordered his troops to cross the Uso River and reverse the situation before the defeat. It has to be said that the blood and courage of this young governor
, which is completely beyond the comparison of his weak father. The young man dares to think and do without any concern about whether a small defeat or the defeat of the entire army is more cost-effective, that is, I will fight against you with an iron bridge and a frontal attack.
The Hexagon Army took this opportunity to score a series of victories. Even Isono Umasa, known as the "Eshu No. 1 General" in the Asai family, was helpless, although no one could tell how strong Nakajo Tokihide of the Kira family was.
, but the samurai of the Asai family have always believed that the local samurai Sato Nowata Masaru is definitely the deserved number one, and Nakajo Tokihide is a native Mikawa samurai after all.
At this time, the five thousand pioneer formations crossing the river were in chaos. The ancient strategy of attacking halfway across the river would naturally not be lost in this battle. Even the strongest samurai could not change the overall situation. The formation of the Asai army
Already torn apart, Masa Isono was forced to retreat after he managed to defeat several hexagonal siege forces with a thousand troops.
Rokkaku Yoshiken did not expect that he would get lucky. The young and energetic Asai Nagamasa dared to cross the Uso River in front of him. Kamao Sadahide lived up to expectations and seized this opportunity to bite the Asai army's advance and pursue them fiercely.
After the attack, the formation of Kawarami Asai's army, which ended on the south bank of the Uso River, was completely unable to develop. Even the most powerful samurai could only be passively beaten.
In the Renshoji Temple in the southeast of Norada Township, Matsunagahide, who was mostly a wandering monk, shook his head and sighed. He really had nothing to say about his nominal brother-in-law. It was simply unreasonable for him to cross the Uso River with inferior troops.
What was surprising was that the people under the Asai family were willing to obey the crazy family governor's order to cross the river, even though they were only obeying the Asai family in name only. I really don't know what power made these people willing to be so obedient.
He will never understand that sometimes, the personal charm of the governor can change all suffering. This is irrational and has no logic at all, just like in the Genpei era, just a word and a flag can make a samurai die for him. As a result
A counselor who claims to be a wise and insightful counselor cannot understand where this samurai plot comes from. This probably has a lot to do with his background as a businessman rather than as an orthodox samurai.
The avant-garde led by Kamao Sadahide and Nagahara Shigeki were trapped in the front line of the Uso River. With real swords and real spears, Isono Tamashi, Chono Wakasamomo, Momomouchi Sosuke fought to the death, and the Asai army was behind the avant-garde.
Even the rushing Uso River had already been unable to retreat. The first general of the Asai family, Masa Isono, roared and led dozens of warriors who were not afraid of death and rushed into the gun forest of the Hexagon Army, like a brave and fierce lion.
They went back and forth to kill the Hexagonal Army. To be able to come back unharmed was truly unimpeded.
But his personal bravery cannot change the overall situation of the war. Although the Rokkaku family does not have a brave and invincible general, they have infinite patience and the use of human sea tactics. As long as he is still human, there will always be a moment of exhaustion. Kamou Taishide is going to survive.
After killing General Asai, Masa Isono, who had been in the army for more than 30 years, he could be sure that the fall of Isoga Masaru's flag would be the beginning of the collapse of the Asai Army.
Just when the advanced formation was beaten like a puddle of mud and retreated to the narrow area on the south bank of the Uso River to engage in a trapped beast fight. The Hexagon Army did not even notice that on the south bank of the Uso River, Asai Nagamasa had already led the 6,000 Asai Army.
Our formation forcibly crossed the river to form a team. This fatal leak actually occurred in such a crucial battle. It must be said that the Rokkaku family's samurai behaved so amateurishly at this moment.
Kenmori Shindo, Keio Ikeda, Ikimori Narasaki, and Dr. Haru Tanaka, who were supposed to be the second formation, were supposed to act as two wings to protect the fighting front formation from the flanks, but at the same time, they chose to push their troops to the river bank.
.These warriors only care about killing people and taking their heads to be rewarded based on their merits. Whenever they win a big victory, they always want to gain more military merits by decapitating them. They never pay attention to whether there is any other movement on the flanks.
Because of such an amateurish mistake, the Rokkaku Army's main formation was not given a timely warning. Rokkaku Yoshihide's main formation also unconsciously moved closer to the river bank at this time, and a huge crisis quietly unfolded.
Advancing towards Rokkaku's house. When the Sansei tortoiseshell and flowered caltrop flag symbolizing the Asai Army's main formation came into view of Rokkaku Yoshiken, all anger, confusion and regret were already too late.
Asai Nagamasa led the Six Thousand Honjin to launch a desperate assault. The Six Thousand can be regarded as an elite force. The Hexagon Yoshiken Honjin, which has ten thousand mixed samurai on horseback, samurai on foot, ashigaru, and miscellaneous soldiers, five of them
Thousands of people are still new recruits in the first battle. From this moment on, this war breaks away from a simple numbers game and becomes a weird ukiyo-e of crushing and collapse.
The 10,000-strong army collapsed inexplicably to 5,000, and the remaining 5,000 were inexplicably swept away by the collapsed army. There was no substantial contact at all in a normal raid, and not even a few soldiers in this formation died.
Rokkaku Yoshihide once again paid a heavy price for his shoddy military strategy.
The incompetent Second Formation was appointed without understanding the flank protection of the Formation, was so amateurish that it ignored the information that the Asai Army on the upper reaches of the river bank was forcibly crossing the Uso River, and made a low-level mistake of leaving five thousand recruits in the Formation. These combined together created a disastrous battle.
It was an astonishing example of defeating a large number with less, and he was defeated in Guanyin Temple City in a daze. He was so painful that he almost shed tears.
Sadahide Kamao and Jugeng Nagahara, who fought bloody battles, swallowed the bitter pill of defeat with the heroic Hexagonal Army samurai, and slowly retreated to Kannonji Castle with the panicked Second Formation. Nagamasa Asai, who won a great victory, was unexpected.
He did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but watched the heroic army retreat with respect. Don't pursue the enemy, not to mention that this resentful army was about to vent its anger. Pursuing it would only increase casualties but increase variables. His smart move once again won the favor of Asai's retainers.
unanimously appreciated by the group.
Rokkaku Yoshiken maintains his glorious record of undefeated defeats, and this battle once again confirms that his past actions are still a shameful defeat, and this time the one who rises on the strength of his almost exhausted reputation is
Asai Nagamasa, a fledgling boy who was only sixteen years old, if Rokkaku Yoshihide's prestige was compared to a credit card, then his prestige at this time would have been overdrawn and completely maxed out.
A total of 940 people were killed by the Hexagon Army in the battle of Norada, nearly 80% of whom died in the fierce fighting of the front line, and more than 700 people were killed by the Asai Army, all of which were from the losses of the front line.
This loss was nothing compared to the heavy cost of the Luozhong Battle. However, the Luojiao Family was not defeated in the Luozhong Battle, but this battle was completely defeated.
The failure of the war always needs one person to bear the responsibility. This responsibility cannot be the heirloom of the Rokkaku family, so Rokkaku Yoshihide can only reluctantly bear it. This defeat caused Rokkaku Yoshihide to lose all his majesty as the only family governor.
But Rokkaku Yixian doesn't think he is fat.
In every war since he became the family governor ten years ago, he has tried his best to plan and strive to bring greater benefits to the Rokkajia family, but the results every time are not so satisfactory. Either a draw or a defeat is a huge problem.
His shame makes him more like a stupid waste than his great father. This is no longer dark stupidity but outright stupidity.
Rokkaku Yoshiken could not accept the contamination of such a stigma. On the third day after the defeat of the war, he completely escaped into Buddhism and hid in a small temple in Guanyin Temple City under the name of Ba Guanzhai Chengzhen.
He left the house, and the mess at home was irresponsibly left in the hands of his young and ignorant son Rokkaku Yoshiharu.
Rokkaku Yoshiharu, who was also born in the 14th year of Tenmon and the same age as Asai Nagamasa, could only face the angry questions of the family members in panic. At that moment, he seemed to see a tragic fate waving towards him.
