Pillars of the Wu family

Chapter 93 Crusade against the Takashima clan

Takashima Laigaka's idea is very good. Seeing that the shogunate and the Miyoshi family are in the quiet period before preparing for the war, they sent their cronies to Settsu to present an oath first. They had to deal with it, as long as their Takashima family persisted until Miyoshi Changqing came out, even if they lost Qingshui Mountain City, they could rely on the vote to gain the trust of Miyoshi's family, and maybe they could return home in time.

The wishful thinking was crackling, but it was a pity that it was still a bad move. Before Takashima Yoshitaka's confidant left Takashima County, he was slaughtered by the Hattori ninja who had been eyeing him for a long time. The letter was signed by Takashima Yorotaka The affidavit passed through Kira Yoshito's time and fell on Ashikaga Yoshito's table.

It is indescribable how angry Ashikaga Yoshito was at that time. It is said that he drew out his knife to cut off the case, scolded Takashima Yorigaka, a rebel, as a scum of the samurai family, and ordered the Sasaki Takashima shogunate to be taken away. Miyoshi rebels against the party and is determined to completely eradicate the Takashima clan without leaving any trouble.

Mibuchi Harumoto, Hosokawa Fujiken and other members of the shogunate's Gao family hurriedly dissuaded, and it took a long time to persuade the stubborn Ashikaga Yoshito to calm down, and reluctantly agreed to cancel the original genocide plan, but the severe punishment of the Takashima clan must not be tolerated , Yoshitoki Kira, who was the guardian of Shiga and Takashima counties, was named and had full authority to handle the matter.

When Ashikaga Yoshito lost his temper because of that annoying oath, Kira Yoshitoki had already assembled [-] troops, and the Kuchiki family who came after hearing the news also joined the battle, in order to revenge Xue hated the Kuchiki family, but it cost a lot of money, and Kuchiki Valley's talents were mobilized, and he took away half of the wealthy families in Takashima County, adding up to [-] troops.

Originally, the Kuchiki clan planned to mobilize all the citizens with all their strength. Of course, this proposal was rejected by Yoshitomo Kira. Just kidding, you mobilized it. Are the crops thrown in the field and weeds grow?He is now the guardian of the two counties, and he is the guardian of the shogunate who is not linked to the Liujiao family. These two counties are equivalent to when the two counties were transferred to Kirayoshi under the direct control of the shogunate. How could these guys mess around with his territory.

At this time, the spring sowing has just passed, and the one-year military service has just begun. Early mobilization for military service is too heavy a logistical burden. 500 people are enough to swallow the Takashima family, and increasing unnecessary mobilization is just a waste of precious food. At the end of the month and the beginning of May is the time when the harvest is not harvested. The highest mortality rate is during this time. Many farmers would rather starve to death than move their seeds in order to get more harvest that year. The Kira family does not have much food allocation in this season. Surplus food feeds these people.

Sakamoto is not far from Takashima County. On the morning of April 23, more than [-] Kira Army marched out to join forces with [-] Chinese allied forces in Takashima County, and stationed in Hirai Castle, one mile away from Qingshui Mountain Castle. , a row of more than twenty people sat in two factions in the military tent, the retainers of the Kira family on the left, and the people of Takashima County on the right. Hirai and Yamazaki stood on the side of the shogunate. They are still waiting and watching, this kind of sloppy attitude is not important, as long as they don't come to make trouble, everyone will ignore it.

With the support of the Hirai family who is the closest to Qingshui Mountain City, half of the battle is won. The evidence of the Takashima family's rebellion has been passed down to Takashima County. The island family must also be very clear.

"This is the first military meeting of our family. As our family's entry into battle, the full power of this joint battle is given to Yamamoto Tokiyuki. Our family only listens with ears, and you can do whatever you want."

Tokiyuki Yamamoto said a few words of humility, and said: "The master of the museum appointed me as the army to take charge of military affairs. Please cooperate with me to complete the attack on Shimizu City."

"Yes!"

"We must attack Qingshui Mountain Castle! The traitor Takashima Yorotaka! Give back my brother's life!" Kuchiki Fujitsuna roared angrily. People from more than a dozen families also cursed one after another, as if the one who died was their elder brother.

"Well! If that's the case, Kuchiki Fujitsunaden will be the first striker for this battle, Hirai Kawachi Mori is the second striker, and Watanabe Takatsuna is the third formation. Please do your best to attack and start within ten days. Castle." Tokiyuki Yamamoto directly decided to arrange combat missions.

Because it was a siege battle, Yoshitoki Kira could sit in Hirai Castle without having to go to the front to supervise the battle. Tokiko Yamamoto told him that siege is the worst in the art of war, and this siege has no choice but to send troops to test the Takashima family React, and then make the next decision, and then the military meeting just talked about some garrison matters, the trivial matters of military food transportation and storage.

At the end of the military discussion, Kirayoshi, who was sitting in the big tent for a long time, couldn't wait to walk to the sand table and said, "My family doesn't have too much food. Now the price of food is the most expensive time of the year. This battle must A quick decision must be made, and there must be no delay! So the master will explain the strategy of attacking the city!"

"Let's fight first! Let's see how the Takashima family's defensive will is before we can make the next decision!" Tokiyuki Yamamoto picked up his teapot and poured freshly brewed tea, smelling the fragrance of the tea carefully, Intoxicated, he said: "The way of making tea in the Ming Dynasty is also profound and profound! Although it is only old tea from Omi, it still has a pleasant fragrance when brewed... By the way! It seems that new tea will come down soon."

"Master, please don't interrupt me!" Yoshihiro Kira frowned and asked again: "So today's siege is just a military test? Then when will the real siege be?"

"Siege is not that simple. For a city built on a mountain like Qingshui Mountain City, with our army of [-] people, it is normal that it will be difficult for ten months. There are also many people who cannot take down a strong city in three or two years." Yamamoto Shi Xing smiled wryly, seeing that he couldn't get around this problem, he could only sigh and explain the reason.

Japan is notorious for its low level of siege, otherwise there would not have been so many disastrous defeats. For example, the Hojo family of the Kamakura shogunate led an army of [-] to besiege Akasaka Castle with [-] defenders, but they were beaten to death. It would be embarrassing to say such a thing. There are many famous fortified cities in Japan, most of which are built on prominent positions on the mountains that are easy to defend and difficult to attack.

But it doesn't mean that these cities are really difficult to fight. The reason why they can't be defeated is because the engineering technology is too good, and there are almost no decent siege equipment, which makes it difficult to attack a city for several years. Things that fall in the hands of a strong city happen from time to time.

"Then why don't you make siege equipment? Catapults should be able to do it?" I have seen "Wu Jing Zong Yao" in his family's library, and Yamamoto Tokiyuki has also read it. I just read it once and read it all again. What is the reason, he has not quite understood.

Tokiyuki Yamamoto understood what he meant, but still shook his head and said: "No craftsman can do it. The original purpose of military books is to collect or send to temples. There are very few people who have actually read military books. The reason why Takeda Harunobu is revered as Dong* *The number one is because he is familiar with military books."

"...there are many ways, that is to say, there is only outsmart besides force attack!" Ji Liangyi clapped his hands, but after a while, he rushed into a samurai wearing a red full body, whose expression was blocked by his face and throat chakra. , "Homoto Hattori has met the owner of the museum!"

"Oh! It turned out to be Taro! You look good and keep working hard! How is the planning work in Qingshui Mountain Castle?" Yoshiki Kira smacked his lips and said nothing. People in the Hattori family like to dress up strangely, or they are not doing their job properly.

The Hattori family is also from a Chinese background and there is no ninja profession, but in the Kira family, he is classified as a special samurai regardless of the battle formation by default. The time spent missing is much longer than the time spent practicing martial arts with a big gun and tachi.

Hattori Taro Yasumoto is a different kind. He usually likes to dress up as a samurai. He wears a samurai dress and combs his head with a sky-high broom. He is very powerful when he walks with a tachi on his waist and hips. He is especially good at pistol skills. Gun Hanzo is not a sign, this guy usually spends his time practicing spear skills in addition to doing intelligence.

Regardless of the dark history of the slightly sharp-looking Hattori Yasumoto, he leaned over and replied: "Takashima Yoshitaka's younger brother Yoricho has secretly contacted his ministers, hoping to obtain the shogunate's security at the cost of Kaesong's submission. He proposes to inherit the title and name of the Takashima family after his brother's death."

"Hmph! What a greedy person! The Takashima family changed hands and changed to a governor? Paying such a small price can quell the consequences of rebellion, and then the people of the country will rebel when they have nothing to do. How can the shogunate manage the world?"

Tokiyuki Yamamoto suggested: "The owner of the museum might as well agree to him first, as long as he can open the city, the things after that can be easily resolved. We must believe in Shi Jianshou's ability."

"Huh? What do you mean... the family understands, do you know the art of deceit? Although I don't like it, but in order to eliminate hidden dangers, this is the only way to do it!" Kira Yoshitoki sighed, and ordered: "Just follow this method Do it! Takashima Yoricho's conditions have been agreed to by the family, let him open the city gate as soon as possible to welcome the family into the city!"

In the early morning of April 24th, the warm sunshine on the face was very comfortable. It was a good day for an outing, but it became more and more chilling because of the sudden arrival of [-] troops. The location of Qingshui Mountain City is good, overlooking the south. Azumi River is a well-known strong castle in Takashima County.

Yoshiki Kira was sitting in the tent of the Chinese Army, listening to the military report with a blank face. Shi Mimian vowed to use Takashima Takarai's head as a memorial to his deceased brother, but whoever had the nerve to fight him would be short-sighted, and a good siege battle turned into a boring battle between the Kuchiki family and the city wall.
