At the beginning of the hour on March 30, the 14th year of Tenmon (146), at Takio Shrine, the vanguard of the Confederate army encountered resistance for the first time, and the first shot of this world-famous Kyoto battle was fired here.
"The Ichiban belongs to our Oda family! It belongs to me, Oda Nobunaga!" Oda Nobunaga came to the front line with determination and determination. He couldn't help but get ahead of the other troops, lit the match first, pulled the trigger, and fired the iron cannon.
The projectiles were fired at Takio Shrine. Opposite the Oda Army was the Mimura Army under the banner of Maru Sankashi. The total strength was only about 000 people, which can be said to be weak. But even so, winning such an honor still made people feel proud.
The soldiers of the Oda family were so excited that they rushed towards the Takio Shrine with shouts of war.
At the same time, the Hojo Army marched toward Chisekiin in the northeast. However, the Isshiki Army, the defender of Chisekiin, simply resisted and retreated, moving directly north to Shin-Hichijingu Shrine. After all, for the Isshiki family,
, the Mimura family, who are not relatives or even belong to a hostile faction, are not worthy of his cover at all. This exposes the rear of the Mimura Army to the Hojo Army. If the Mimura Army does not retreat, it is likely to be outflanked - at that point
At that time, the Oda Army, Hojo Army and Saito Army, who were the vanguard, would not hold back and would definitely hit the Mimura Army hard. As long as the Mimura Army was annihilated, so many prisoners and ordnance would definitely be able to make up for the losses.
.
As a result, the Mimura Army had to retreat simultaneously and moved north to Sanjusangendo. Due to the numerous streets and alleys in Kyoto, there was no large area of flat land for pursuit, so the retreating Mimura Army could calmly fight and retreat with the help of street fighting.
, the transfer was successful without much loss.
At the same time, the westward-moving Asakura Army and the Rokkaku Army had also arrived at the Dongshan Bridge area and began to prepare to cross the river. The people along the way had either fled long ago, or closed their doors and windows and hid behind the stove, not daring to make a sound——
The people of Kyoto, who have suffered so much for more than a hundred years, seem to have evolved the ability to cope with military chaos.
At 04:00 on March 30, the 14th year of Tenmon (146), the Hojo Army marched north again after reorganization and pursued the Isshiki Army. At the same time, the Saito Army also stationed at Takio Shrine and took over from the Oda Army.
After the garrison, the freed-up Oda Army moved north again and attacked the Sanmura Army's new position at Sanjusangendo.
On the other side, after confirming that there was no ambush on the other side of the river, the Asakura Army and the Rokkaku Army crossed the Kamogawa River to the west. The Rokkaku Army stationed at Chofukuji Temple, then turned north and headed towards Enkyo Temple. Asakura Army
The army moved all the way west, and after occupying Suilin Temple, they further suppressed the Toji temple complex, the largest stronghold in the southwest of Kyoto, without encountering any resistance.
"Not good."
Takeda Harunobu, who was staying on Mount Keiri of Tofukuji Temple, instinctively sensed the danger. Until now, only 000 people of the Northern Army had shown up, and there was no sign of the main force at all. That meant that the Northern Army wanted to
It is necessary to lure the enemy deep and then quickly defeat the Confederate army through a main counterattack. The problem is that Toji Temple is the most easily defended and difficult to attack stronghold in the south of Kyoto. Even such a defensive stronghold has been abandoned. The Northern Army is determined to carry out the counterattack.
How high should it be? It makes people sweat.
At 5:00 on March 30, the 14th year of Tianwen (146), Rokkaku Sadeyori led 1,000 Rokkaku troops to the south of Yuanjiao Temple. The scouts who were sent to the front for reconnaissance rushed back:
"Report, Your Highness! There are a large number of enemy troops in the Wanjiao Temple, and the flag is Hanawameyuki, the Nizi family's troops!"
"Nizi's house..." Rokkaku Sadeyori pursed his lips, and then rode his horse to find a hotel on the second floor. He climbed to the roof to look at the situation in the area around Yuanjiao Temple. However, due to the obstruction of the temple walls and surrounding streets,
, still can’t clearly see the deployment of the Nizi Army, only the fluttering horse prints can be seen.
"It's Nizi Xingbu (Nizi Kunihisa)...and the famous Shingu Party under his command." Rokkaku Sadayori couldn't help but straighten his expression after realizing that he had encountered such a difficult situation.
When Nizi Jiujiu, known as the "Prefect of the Eleven Prefectures of Yin and Yang", was rising to prominence, his disciple Nizi Jiuxing's personal guard team, which consisted of warriors from the Nizi family as the core, has always been the most elite force in the Nizi family, laying the groundwork for the expansion of the Nizi family.
With great contributions, this unit became the prototype of the later "New Palace Party".
However, after Nizi Jiujiu retired, the successor family governor, Nizi Jiujiu's grandson Nizi Qingjiu, had a conflict with Nizi Jiuxing.
When the incident happened, Nizi Haruhisa tried to expedition against the rebellious Maori family. However, Nizi Hisayuki believed that this was too hasty and repeatedly opposed the plan. The angry Nizi Haruhisa openly called his uncle who had great military achievements a "coward".
However, after the Nizi family actually went to attack the Maori family, as Hisuki Nizi said, they were unable to fight hard due to insufficient preparation. When the Ouchi family's reinforcements arrived at Yoshida Gunyama Castle and cooperated with the Maori army inside and outside, the Nizi family was completely defeated.
, even Nizi Haruhisa himself was almost captured by the Ouchi-Maori coalition forces. At the critical moment, the "coward" Nizi Hisayuki led hundreds of Shingu Party elites to break into the enemy's formation, and protected Nizi Haruhisa's evacuation at the cost of death.
.
After Nizi Jiuyuki's death, the command of the New Palace Party was handed over to Nizi Yuki's second son, Nizi Kunhisu, who was the second uncle of the family governor Nizi Haruhisa. Nizi Kunijisa inherited the legacy of his uncle Nizi Jiuyuki and continued to lead the New Palace Party.
The Nizi family fought in the north and south, opening up territory for the Nizi family. However, the Shingong Party, which gradually became more successful, had conflicts with the family governor, Nizi Qingjiu. The domineering behavior of many important members of the Shingong Party also aroused the ire of the Nizi family.
of public outrage.
Fortunately, Nizi Haruhisa's wife is the daughter of Nizi Kunihisa. The couple is quite affectionate. With her mediation, the situation can still be maintained. But in the end, in the 23rd year of Astronomy (14th year) of the original world line, the situation continued.
When Nizi Qingjiu's wife died of illness, the conflict between the new palace party and the family governor broke out. Nizi Qingjiu ordered the annihilation of Nizi Qingjiu's clan, and the new palace party was almost destroyed.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! What is now in front of Rokkaku Sadeyori is the Nizi family's elite, the Shingu Party, which is invincible in the Kansai region. Even though the opponent may only have himself.
/3, Rokkaku Sadeyori had no chance of winning. Sure enough, as soon as they engaged in the battle, the Rokkaku Army, which was clearly on the offensive side, was suppressed by the Nizi Army.
"If a retainer loses his tail, it will be a disaster sooner or later. How can there be any reason for the retainer to be even more powerful than the master? Naniko Minbu (Niko Haruhisa) asked himself, is he sure he can defeat the Shingong Party with his own banner?" Although the occupation is not smooth.
, but Rokkaku Sadayori only had disdain in his heart, "If you do this, the master, the fate of the family will not be long-term. If you don't suppress the retainers, you will only be attacked by the retainers."
On the other side of the battlefield, Nizi Kunijiu also dismissed the performance of the Hexagon Army:
"The indomitable Omi people left behind by Rokkaku Taisen (Rokkaku Takayori) were still able to follow Rokkaku Danmasa (Rokukka Sadeyori) in his expeditions when he first came to the throne. Has it degraded to this point now?
Back then, the Rokkaku Army was helpless even when Gongfangden led the shogunate's army to personally conquer the army. Now, with more troops and fewer troops, it is still difficult to advance even half a step? What a shame for the ancestors. Rokkaku Danzheng... He was focused on guarding his retainers, fearing that they would rebel, so he came up with the idea.
Thousands of methods were used to weaken the retainers, and the retainers were tortured to death. In the end, your Rokkaku clan became stronger, but its combat effectiveness plummeted. So what's the use of being stronger? Sooner or later, it will be destroyed by foreign enemies."
"Why demolish the residence of the retainers and gather all the retainers to live in Guanyin Temple City? Then how should the retainers train troops? How to consolidate the territory? How to prepare for war? It is really unreasonable to defend one's own retainers but be more cautious than defending the enemy? When my father (Nizi)
(Jiujiu) If he was so guarded against his uncle (Nizi Jiuyuki) and me, how could the Shingong Party develop into a powerful force that could fight a hundred battles, and how could Nizi's family be as prosperous as it is today? The Rokkaku Bullet just thought that all the samurai in the world were like this.
Is he just as evil-minded and thinking about defeating his superiors? Aren’t the bonds between the lord and his retainers, the clan and the branch families the most touching stories among samurai?"
Thinking of this, Ni Ziguojiu couldn't help but clenched his fists, showed a resolute look, and said silently in his heart:
"The Zong family treats us as national heroes, and we should repay it as national soldiers. For the sake of the Zong family, even if he was slandered by bad words, my uncle and savior still had no complaints when he died. If he died for the Zong family and the Lord, I would naturally have no objection.
, no one from top to bottom of the New Palace Party will have any objections. The Zong family’s decision to kill us is just a matter of words, so what’s the point to worry about?”
Afterwards, Nizi Kunijiu took the bag from his legitimate son Nizi Chengjiu, tied it on his head carefully, then got on his horse, drew his sword himself and rode towards the front line, shouting to the subordinates passing by on both sides:
"This is Kyoto, and this battle is a battle that attracts the attention of the whole world. All the soldiers of the New Palace Party, show the power of our Nizi family to the world, the next day! You must work hard to kill the enemy!"
Hearing the general's roar and seeing the general's leading figure, the soldiers of Nizi's New Palace Party burst out with astonishing fighting power, roaring out of the walls of the Yuanjiao Temple and the surrounding streets, and rushed towards the Rokkaku like a tide.
The warriors of the Hexagon Army were obviously not prepared for this in advance and were caught off guard in a hurry.
"What are you doing?" Rokkaku Sadayori was puzzled by the actions of Niko Kunihisa and the Shingu Party, and couldn't help but frown, "As a separatist family that competes with the main family, the most important thing is to preserve its own strength.
Fighting here with an enemy that has nothing to do with him has no benefit other than promoting the prestige of the master's family. What is he thinking?"
"Retreat and deploy your formation along the streets." Of course, Rokkaku Tayori did not intend to lose too much strength in a tough battle. He decisively ordered: "Drag into a melee, expand the contact area between the two armies, and push them away from the desired area."
They tricked them out of the monastery's position and then used their numerical advantage to suppress them."
