Chapter 157 Sending troops

 Three days later, the troops from the three places arrived.

Yiyin had to admit that the three women under his command really made him look good.

Although it was very reluctant, they did temporarily control the people of the three places and pulled out as many people as possible, which was better than the best result he could think of.

Especially Maeda Benefit, how did she do it? She neatly pulled out the rest of the people who were scattered in the sand, which is puzzling.

The Iga people are Chinese, and they attach great importance to the local party and despise discipline, so Yoshigan has no time to rub and train them.

As it stands now, it can barely be used. Using the three regions as three armies, we can pull Yamato to start a war.

Let each military branch organize their armaments, report their numbers, and prepare to leave for Yamato.

It's ridiculous to say that no matter whether the shogunate or the Miyoshi family, all strategies are based on the belief that the Yamato Tsutsui family will be defeated, just because the nun samurai family is too useless.

These nuns were domineering in the local area, and the shogunate ignored them, and other samurai families did not want to contaminate the temple land and cause religious trouble.

Therefore, except for suppressing the local villagers who could not survive, and beating the unarmed civilian village women in the countryside, they had never engaged in tough battles.

The biggest achievement was just getting into trouble with other nuns from the Wu family, and the rookies were pecking at each other. From time to time, information was spread to various Wu families, which made people shake their heads.

The martial arts family has been fighting for thousands of years. A Ji warrior has to learn martial arts from the moment he can stand upright. He has to go into battle to kill people when he is more than ten years old, and there are no exceptions.

To them, the armed nuns in the temple are just civilians with better equipment.

If they didn't want to cause trouble because of their religious beliefs, it's hard to say whether these guys could have blocked a charge.

Therefore, he was the first to break up with the Miyoshi family, abandon the tacit agreement not to attack the nun samurai family, rush into Yamato, strategically bypass the shogunate army and launch an attack. All the samurai families already regarded the Tsutsui family as dead people.

Nuns should recite sutras and fight well. Are you worthy of fighting?

This is why the shogunate was so anxious that the shogun gave Yoshigan full authority and asked him to conquer the Iga people.

The shogunate didn't count on the Tsutsui family at all, and was too lazy to fight with those armed nuns, because it was useless to say so.

Tsutsui Junkei was a smart man. He knew that he could not defeat him, so he huddled in the solid Tsutsui Castle and resisted.

Another letter asking for help was sent to the shogunate's army. They hugged each other tightly and begged the shogunate to help the sisters for the sake of losing their lips and teeth.

The shogunate had no other options. It was already weaker than Miyoshi and was attacked from multiple directions.

This was the opportunity for Yoshigan Shiba to soar into the sky. The shogunate granted him the title, and Yoshigan went to try his luck on his own.

When the statistics of the military strength of each family were calculated, Yiyin was also a little proud. I, Sibo Yiyin, was not what I am today.

The size of the three places is twenty villages. Excluding a few small villages of the Renmu family on the border, it is almost the same as more than 30,000 stone.

The 1,500-koku village here is not the same concept as the 1,500-koku village at Owari Shiba Reservoir.

Owari is prosperous, with an average grain production capacity of three koku per capita. Although Iga has a small basin, it is mountainous and forested, so it would be a blessing to have two and a half koku.

Coupled with the loss of contact with the outside world, the price of daily necessities is too high, and it cannot support a large number of villagers. Therefore, the proportion of Chinese villagers in the village is imbalanced.

There can be forty or fifty people in a Chinese land servant's family. Excluding men and children, there are fifteen to twenty Ji warriors who can go into battle.

This is not the modern society of the previous life, which had a retirement system. Warrior Ji either died on the battlefield or in a hospital bed. To live, you have to do things.

North Iga, Yuno, and Minami Iga each gathered three reserve teams. One reserve team had 200 Ashigaru people, and the Hime Samurai had as many as 120 people.

Adding up these nine reserve teams, the number of Ji warriors is nearly 1,100!

The Chinese are not orthodox martial artists. The orthodox martial artists must be paid a salary when preparing their troops and serving as officials, with a minimum of thirty guan of money.

Therefore, the Ji warriors in the orthodox samurai army are highly skilled in martial arts and usually number between forty and fifty.

Each team is fully equipped with one or two Ji warriors, and the rest are reserve generals riding back, or special warriors controlling iron cannons and bows.

The Chinese servants are different. They go to war as soldiers and food servants. When the whole family goes into battle together, the number of Ji warriors will be much larger, even more than double that of the orthodox reserve army.

However, these people are often the backbone of the family. If there are too many casualties, the family will be wiped out. Therefore, when going into battle, it is best to fight with the wind. If something goes wrong, they will wait and see or even retreat.

Although the orthodox samurai army has few Ji warriors, they still want to be rewarded by the official and fight to the death.

The children of the Wu family are multiplying, and every year there are always many children who have no place to serve as officials. They are either raised at home or find their own way out.

Some of them were miserable and had to join the mixed soldiers as wild warriors or even villains, and were hired by the samurai to fight. These people were often cannon fodder.

The status of the land servants of the Chinese people is low, but at least they have a piece of land as a base, which is still better than those mixed soldiers.

But regardless of whether the countrymen, local servants or miscellaneous soldiers are victims of each family's battles, without exception, there are few lucky ones who rely on rewards to climb up.

This is the cruelty of Wu family society.

Although they have a thousand-year-old Hime Warrior on hand, the situation of the Iga people is not good.

On the one hand, because the whole family goes into battle, their martial arts skills vary greatly. Not to mention the headwind battle, even a draw and attrition battle will cause their military morale to fluctuate.

This time Yoshigan enters Yamato, the first battle must be a big victory, a quick victory. Only in this way can they gather the military morale of the Iga people and increase their psychological threshold for enduring a war of attrition.

On the other hand, having been exploited by the shogunate ministers for a long time, the foundation of the Iga clan was very poor. Most of the Hime warriors only had a broken sword.

Not to mention that it is fully equipped, there is not even a long spear with sufficient materials.

Let alone Ashigaru, the wealthy Owari peasants and soldiers are better equipped than these beggar Ashigaru.

There is really nothing Yiyin can do about this matter.

Although the general supported him, Ashikaga Yoshiteru's own horsemen had to rely on the shogunate to raise supplies.

The relationship between myself and the ministers, which had just improved, fell to the bottom again because of the Iga incident. I asked them for help and stopped dreaming.

Allied forces in this battle.

Kitanomi's Asai family and Izumi Hosokawa's family were far away and had no time to ask for help.

The neighboring Omi Rokkaku family, Yoshiyuki just defeated her family and lost the three northern Omi counties.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of food in Iga, otherwise Yoshigami really doesn't know how this battle would have been fought.

In this battle, the Iga people did not use farmers and soldiers to fight, but only used them to transport grain and support supply lines.

The military food service for peasants and soldiers usually lasted for ten days, simply because they brought their own food, and the dry food and uncooked rice they carried on their bodies were only enough for ten days.

Fortunately, Iga is adjacent to Yamato, and the supply line is connected to Kita-Yamato. A ten-day round trip is more than enough. If you want to go deeper, you have to find another way in Yamato.

In short, although there are many problems, Yiyin also has the capital to compete with Shiga Icun who entered Yamato.

It had been several days, and the wounds on his face had become scarred and no longer needed to be wrapped. He was not like men in this world, who valued appearance more than life, and showed his face carelessly.

In fact, the wound was not deep. It was just that I didn't control it well at the beginning and it was a little long. The angle was wrong and the skin and flesh were lifted up.

No wonder Yiyin felt it was not unfair to be deducted five points of charm. But with the remaining four points and a little charm, it reached the level of ordinary people, at least it was not ugly.

I wonder if the system will gain back some charm points after closing the door.

It's just that others may not be as open-minded as him. At least Maeda Yoshida and Yamanaka Yukimori have desolate faces, even sadder than Yoshigage.

"There's a curfew tonight, we'll make pots of rice tomorrow morning, and then the army will set off."

At the main seat, Yiyin finished speaking.

The warrior girl in front of him shrunk like a wheat field blown by the wind, and all the girls cheered and bowed to him.

Fortunately, there is a flag in the mountains, and the Nizi wins and serves the army for a long time.

The third Taifu of Momochi is in charge of intelligence, Anzu Fujibayashi assists, and Mukufujibayashi serves as the base of the approach flag.

Maeda Yoshida is the general of the Iga army, Otani Yoshitsugi is the general of the southern Iga army, and Todo Takatora is the general of the northern Iga army.

Shiba Yoshigan assembled nine reserve troops, 1,100 Hime samurai, and 1,800 Ashigaru.

Nearly 3,000 troops marched from the Yamato exit in the southwest of Iga, left Iga and entered Yamato, and marched towards the nearby battlefields in a mighty manner.
