Chapter 173: Convergence

 Shihe Yicun originally asked Mihaoshi Yixing to go north based on two judgments.

First, there are no large armies in Yamato except Tsutsui Castle, and the Zaga people are able to do whatever they want.

Second, Kofukuji Temple still holds the power in Yamato, and Tsutsui Junkei did not dare to resist the decree of the Lord.

Both of these premises are now miscalculated.

Yoshigan led the Iga army to join the battle, breaking the first one. Junkei Tsutsui dared to ignore seven decrees in a row, which could only be explained by harboring evil intentions, breaking the second one.

The most confident general of the Miyoshi family, who had been full of confidence since he entered the recent world, has been slapped into a pig's head by the Ji warriors who are full of evil intentions, and he still doesn't know it.

Yiyin wanted to laugh, but couldn't.

He had previously agreed with Tokawa Kazun's judgment that Tsutsui Shunkei was a nun samurai under the control of the Buddhist master.

If Junkei Tsutsui really loses control, it will be difficult to judge the subsequent situation.

Tsutsui Junkei ignored the decree, just wanted to kill people with a borrowed knife, and let the Zahe people destroy Kofukuji Temple.

There is no need for the Zahe people to take action and arrange for people to keep an eye on Xingfuku Temple. If there is a chance, they can kill the nuns themselves and put the blame on others.

Now that the Dharma Master has become suspicious of her for ignoring the decree, the Zaga congregation has been expelled from the area around Kofukuji Temple.

What will she do? Will she simply cooperate with Miyoshi? Yiyin feels that she is out of ideas.

Although this time he succeeded in getting the Buddhist master of Kofukuji Temple to side with the shogunate, Yoshigan was not happy.

The height of Yamato's stone is 450,000 koku. Tsutsui Junkei holds most of Yamato's military strength. Even if the nun samurai family loses control again, the pigs raised with more than 300,000 koku will still be captured for months.

If she had evil intentions, the Iga army might not be able to escape intact, but there was no time to think about it at this time.

Since Junkei Tsutsui of the South has an impure mind, the confrontation on the southern front will continue for a few more days, giving him time to defeat the Zahe people in the north.

The most important thing now is not to guess Tsutsui Junkei's thoughts, but to remove the nails behind him.

He also took advantage of this battle to completely integrate the Iga clan and the Yamato traditional martial arts, and gain prestige for going south to fight against the Shiga Ichin army.

With Kofukuji Temple's century-old savings as logistical supplies, the Iga people could finally replace their guns with cannons, and no longer had to fight with a broken sword.

However, how to defeat the Zahezhong was a big problem. On the way to the northern Gunyama Castle, Yiyin received a piece of news that he didn't know whether it was good or bad.

"The Zahe people are holding on to the danger and have no plans to retreat south?"

Bai Di San Tai Fu nodded and said.

"Yes, Your Highness.

Miyoshi Yoshihiro led the Zahe party to camp at an unknown place south of Koriyama City. After gathering the Zahe party, they made no move to break camp.

Instead, they strengthened roadblocks and traps and adopted a defensive posture. The hill where they were stationed was not high, but it had straight cliffs on three sides and a gentle slope on one side, and there was a living spring."

Yiyin looked at Nizi Shengjiu.

"In front of the emperor, the Zahe people were wreaking havoc in Yamato and stole a lot of food.

Now that we have no problem with food, grass and drinking water, it seems that they are waiting for reinforcements in the north and are firmly behind us."

Yiyin suddenly felt prickly in his hands.

If the Zaga soldiers go south, with the hiding ability of the Iga ninja soldiers, Yoshigan may not be able to fight a perfect ambush.

But Zahe Zhong actually chose to defend, which is completely inconsistent with the character of a mercenary.

It had only been a few days since Yoshigan's army marched into Yamato, and Toga Ichigo still didn't know that Iga's army was coming, so how could they stay where they were at the risk of being surrounded and suppressed.

The Zahe Zhong are good at iron cannons, and the Kii Kingdom has the ability to produce its own iron cannons. With more than a thousand Zahe Zhong, they will have no less than 500 iron cannons. Now they are defending the Jedi, and they have food and water.

Given Yoshigan's current authority over the Iga people, if they were allowed to attack the enemy, they would be afraid that they would rebel if they suffered less than one casualty, and then the Iga army that he could barely control would collapse.

But if we choose to besiege, how long will the siege last? How much food did they steal? How long will it last?

Yiyin suddenly had an idea flash in his mind and asked.

"Ni Ziji, if there is a heavy rain, will it allow us to successfully attack the mountain?"

Nizi Shengjiu shook his head and said.

"It's difficult. Zahezhong is a veteran of iron cannons. They will definitely not relax in moisture and waterproofing, and a heavy rain will not shake them.

Even without the iron cannon, they are still Ji warriors and are still capable of fighting.

Besides, the summer harvest has passed now and autumn will soon begin. The spring tide period and the summer rainy season have passed, and there is no possibility of heavy rain in Yamato."

Heavy rain is impossible, and Yiyin will naturally not argue with Nizi Shengjiu.

What he was thinking of was his own special effect, Tian Envy Hongyan, and using it to create an opportunity to attack a difficult situation.

But what Nizi Shengjiu said makes sense. Zahezhong is a mercenary. There is no reason to encounter sunny weather every day when going out to fight.

A wild samurai is still a wild samurai without the iron cannon. Even if the defense becomes more difficult, it is not easy to win.

After all, there are more than a thousand Hime warriors there, which is equivalent to the number of Hime warriors in the Iga clan. They are all domestic servants, and they are a mix of old and young, so the difference in combat power will not be too big.

In this case, the rain needs to be heavy enough and an opportunity is needed to completely defeat the morale of the Zahe crowd.

The former depends on whether the system is strong enough, while the latter requires Yiyin to carefully consider it itself.

I was so confused for a moment that I couldn't figure out a clue.

Three days passed by in a blink of an eye. When Yiyin arrived at Koriyama City, it was at the stall where martial arts families from all over the north gathered.

This time, the traditional martial arts family in Yamato and the North suffered a great disaster.

The Zaga people were strictly ordered by Suzuki Shigehide not to harass Kofukuji Temple, so it was difficult to go through many vague boundaries in central Yamato to avoid accidentally crossing the boundaries.

Then the villages in the northern martial arts had to be doubly tortured. The bandits were like combs, and the soldiers were like gourds. The Zahe people were now soldiers and bandits, and they caroused wantonly.

There are eighty or ninety villagers from Yamato's northern traditional martial arts families, but less than fifty came this time.

In addition to some places far away because the letters were too late and we couldn't get there in time, there were also more than twenty places missing.

It can be seen from this that at least twenty villages were wiped off the earth. Not to mention the humble civilians, there were forty or fifty people from each family, that is, eight to nine hundred Wu family members were slaughtered.

Some of the remaining Wu families have not yet been affected because of the limited number of Zahe soldiers. Others have received the news and are clinging to the village. Zahe soldiers have not yet succeeded.

If Yoshigan hadn't arrived with the Iga army, at least half of these Yamato and northern samurai families would have disappeared after the war.

Therefore, they are very grateful to Sibo Yiyin. The Wu family attaches great importance to the continuity of the family. If the village is not lost and the land is still there, the population can be restored.

Not long after Yiyin's move to rescue the Wu family started, Suzuki Shigehide ordered the Zahezhong to shrink back themselves.

But these people don't know that, so they naturally place their favor on Sibo Yiyin.

The leaders of the Beidawa samurai clan, Shima and Yagyu, raised their voices, and samurai clans from all over the country responded, coming to work for Shiba Yoshigan and seeking justice from the Miyoshi family.

Wu family society does not believe in tears.

If Shiba Yiyin had not taken the lead and the Miyoshi family had a strong fist, the surviving Wu family would have swallowed their anger.

But now that the Iga army has arrived, the Zaga crowd has shrunk and defended. These Chinese people do not have a long-term vision. They only see the hope of revenge in front of them, so they naturally come to talk about justice with the lackeys of the Miyoshi family with swords in hand.

Tooth for tooth, blood for blood.
