Chapter 430 One Rider

Encountering the enemy in Shanbuki Castle was unexpected for both Chen Bazhi and Mori.

Chen Bazhi didn't expect the Mao Li family's reinforcements to come so quickly, and the Mao Li family didn't expect the Ming army's offensive to come so quickly.

"The Hu thief came prepared, and our family tried our best to recruit troops to rush to help before the fall of Shanbuki Castle. This battle must be won."

In the southwest of Yamabuki Castle, among the ashigaru formations all over the mountains and plains, Motozu Sano Mori hurriedly led an army from the Aki Kingdom to help him. He is also the well-known wise general of the Western Kingdom, Takakage Kobayakawa. The focus has always been on the foreign affairs and government affairs of the Mori family, but at this time the Ming army invaded and he had to lead the army.

"Our superiority has been clearly revealed at this time. Hu thief did not expect our army to mobilize quickly, and the cardboard hastily responded to the battle." Kobayakawa Takakage sat on his waist, and said to Amano and Meto family generals who accompanied the army: "The Mori clan's martial arts will last forever!"

The so-called "hu thief" is because Ming people have the habit of growing beards, and the opposite of this word is "bald thief" because Japanese people have the habit of being bald.

This kind of thing, when I am friendly, I call you the emperor of the country of sunrise, and you call me the emperor of the land of sunset, and suddenly there is a day when the sword is about to be shot, then you are a bald thief and I am a horse thief, and it is just verbal mutual slander .

In this land of Japan, except for Oda Nobunaga, no one can produce an army that can guarantee a year-round battle, especially because Chen Bazhi chose the time of war, which is the time of spring plowing. At this time, all the big names in Japan will not When the war started, Chen Bazhi took Nizi's house into Shanyin.

Just because of this time when the war started, Nizi Shengjiu was already scolded bloody inside the Mori family.

Not to mention that there is no separation of soldiers and peasants. Usually, the daimyo next door starts to gather troops, and the news comes back. Before the soldiers and horses are assembled, they also start to gather troops here. The two sides wait for ten days and a half months before joining forces to fight .

Where is it like Chen Bazhi's subordinates are all professional warriors who are in charge of the sea ship, and they come to fight when they are called.

It's just that Keilong Kobayakawa led troops to appear in Yamabuki Castle this time, which surprised him.

Jinglong's self-proclaimed "quick conscription" is not a boast. The Ming army was able to project the Anyi Kingdom's troops here just after entering Iwami. In this regard, it can be called super fast, but this has little to do with conscription.

He has been mobilizing troops in An Yiguo since January, and he did not expect the Ming army to appear in Shijian. In fact, he saw the Ming army almost at the same time as the Ming army found him, so he consciously guessed the Ming army The purpose is to recapture Iwami Yinshan for the Nizi family.

The original purpose of Jinglong's conscription was to help Motoharu Yoshikawa, who was fighting in the east, prepare troops to build a second line of defense for the summer battle. Later, he sent troops to assist Tomita Gassan Castle in the Izumo Kingdom.

At this moment, meeting the Ming army in Shi Jianguo means that Futian Yueshan City has already fallen, but in the end they still caught up with the main force of the Ming army.

The scouts alerted, and no one dared to relax. The two Qianhu Divisions, led by Wang Rulong, formed an array in the unsafe wilderness. The artillery team and the troops of the Qianhu Division were led by Chen Bazhi, and the city was no longer attacked. , staring at each other in a stalemate.

"I don't know how many soldiers and horses there are in the city. There are two to three thousand cavalry in the northeast of the city, and there are more than three thousand enemy troops in the southwest mountains. If you can't win quickly, you will fight hard."

Li Rubai let the wooden fence brought by the Japanese pirates come in handy, and soon two tall small watchtowers were erected on the Yedi plain. The puddles and barren fields, the dense trees in the distance and the moss everywhere make people look green, and it is not suitable for soldiers except the fields.

"The scouts moved back ten miles, and the artillery team retreated."

Chen Bazhi came down from the watchtower and said to the messenger: "Let General Wang lead the army to retreat to this place. The banner army digs fortifications and builds wooden fences. The enemy is numerous and powerful. We will defend this battle."

The enthusiastic Li Rubai was also called back, and before his cavalry department showed its prestige, in a very short time, Chen Bazhi prepared his defense and asked Li Rusong, "How far can your cavalry go?" ?”

The Chen Banner Army can cope with any situation, but the only shortcoming is that they have no understanding of cavalry from top to bottom.

They didn't have cavalry, and they didn't fight with cavalry. Not many even knew how to ride a horse. Chen Bazhi had no way to understand cavalry at all.

"If you're in the Liao land, it's nothing to raid eighty miles a day, but here." Li Rubai didn't know what Chen Bazhi wanted to do, so he said carefully: "Let's ride forty miles a day with four hundred riders, no Japanese pirates, and four hundred infantry You can still fight after marching for thirty miles."

The mountains are difficult to navigate and the official roads are narrow. Li Rubai didn't dare to boast about going to Haikou, so he saw Chen Bazhi squatting and spreading out the map in his backpack, nodded and said, "Thirty miles is enough. It is not easy to gather six or seven thousand troops in Japan. Maori has many years." I have never fought a big battle, so this time there should be food."

When Chen Bazhi mentioned Liangdao, Li Rubai understood.

Breaking people's food roads is a common tactic in the Central Plains. Li Rubai nodded and said: "I leave the food roads to my subordinates, but the enemy army is guarding Shanbui City, so we have to say whether there are food roads."

"Shanchui has at most thousands of troops. It would be best for them all to enter the city. The city can't support so many people, and the city can be eaten up in a few days." Chen Bazhi drew a circle on the map and said with a smile: "If No food road is better, brother Li just needs to guard our food road, and they will run out of food after a few days of starvation."

"However, I guess there is food. Shi Jianguo can't recruit so many soldiers. These people are far away. They may want to go to Izumo to fight Nizi. They just happened to be stopped by me. Izumo is an expedition for them, and there is no food. Dao will starve to death."

Chen Bazhi was thinking that maybe the soldiers and horses retreated and were seen by the enemy on the mountain, and scouts came to report that there was an enemy attacking here. He climbed up the watchtower and couldn't help laughing out loud, and smiled to Li Rubai downstairs: "The enemy army seems to have only sent a thousand-man team, maybe even fewer. There are too many flags and it's hard to estimate the number."

In fact, there are not many flags sent by the Mori clan to be the first generals, and not everyone puts up the flags. The samurai of each team put up the flags behind them. Ashigaru simply paints three dots on the lower side of the ecliptic with paint on the abdomen, and the job is done. The samurai carried a large flag, and it seemed that there were many flags.

In fact, it really needs to be counted, which is about the same as the number of Xiaoqi under Chen Bazhi's command.

In the binoculars, several hundred troops of the Maori clan stopped three miles away, and a warrior in yellow armor rode out alone. He rode a few times in the field with his spiked gun, and finally pointed the gun at the watchtower where Chen Bazhi was. Shout out, show off your might.

President Qi whispered to Chen Bazhi: "This is a challenge. He wants to fight the general."

"Is your heart blocked after reading the script?"

Chen Bazhi laughed like a caring mentally retarded person, thinking that Deng Zilong would be happy to see this scene in Japan, so he took the long knife with the tip of his eyebrows and went for it.

However, General Chen, adhering to the good family traditions of his adoptive father, opened his arms and pointed to the messenger waiting downstairs in the distance and shouted: "General Wang, six hundred families of mandarin ducks will press down, and the seven or eight hundred people will be killed without leaving any one behind." !"

　Good morning!
