The agreement was finally settled, but everything was far from over. There was another dispute over how to divide the army of more than 100,000 people. The official of Yuezhongfang had no choice but to appeal to Kaga Yikui's Guangtoku Temple to be a wise man.
They couldn't pull back their beards and glared at them. The two of them were furious but there was nothing they could do.
Someone suddenly showed off his skills and subdued Shengxingsi Yuncheng, the most arrogant one in Yuezhong. The influence of the two of them had been devalued in the eyes of the Yuezhongfang officials. It was obvious that they would use this opportunity to change to a thicker thigh.
It's a better choice. He only has the position of divine protection and has no choice. He is not always an official in the system. No matter how annoyed he is, he still has to hang out with two old monks.
The situation was almost one-sided in favor of the Kaga Ikui Army. With the support of this group of wallflowers, Kotokuji Noriken took over the military command with little effort. In the end, he was comforted by the conscience of Shengxingji Yuncheng and
Ruiquan Temple showed off his skills and promised to lead an army of 30,000 to attack Yujin City, and actively encouraged the two of them. There were only 1,000 defenders of Yujin City, which was a tribute to them.
Zuiquan Temple Yongxiu smiled and catered to him, turned around and scolded Guangtoku Temple Chengxian for being hypocritical. Before that, he did not mention the important information that Uojin City only has a thousand defenders. It was obviously intentional to reveal it at the end.
For this reason, if the general secretly hid intelligence in the Chinese Allied Forces, it would be enough to cause an uproar in the military camp. The two of them, who had always been unhappy with this, had nothing to do with the tricks played by Chengxian of Guangde Temple.
The original camps were divided into separate camps, and the distinct combinations showed the differences in their respective positions. It was helpless for Guangde Temple to hypocritically give them 30,000 troops. These 30,000 people were either relatives of Yuezhong Yikui or
Those who hold the post of chief priest are either those who hold the post of divine protector, Mitsukane Ishiguro, and Naritsuna Ishiguro, who are unable to be bribed by the people of the country.
Instead of staying in the camp and feeling disgusted from time to time, he might as well just kick it to General Heng Ha and let them go to Yujin City on their own. His plan cannot be disrupted by these people who can't control it. Capture Matsukura City and control half of Ezhong.
, the next step will be to join forces with Kaga Ichigoichi to conquer Noto Country and complete the basic goal of Hokuriku's "Buddhist Kingdom on the Earth" set by the Buddhist Master Goyo Shonin ahead of schedule.
As for Echigo? He has never thought about it. Thinking about the existence of a chasm like a chasm between himself and his son, he has no interest or appetite for Echigo, or he has no appetite for the time being, in case Echigo cannot support Shinano.
, Ueno launched a massive attack, and he did not rule out the opportunity to lead a large army into Echigo to take advantage.
The heavy rains in August seemed to be endless. The continuous rain not only brought great difficulties to the lives of 100,000 troops, but also brought unexpected disasters. The swollen river water hindered the efforts of the farmers.
After inspecting and repairing the leak, flooded river water gushes out from the crack like a broken kettle.
Fortunately, although there are no big rivers in Central Vietnam, there are a lot of small rivers and ditches. The ditches and ridges are filled up by the flooded river water, which almost blocks the flooded river water. The monks who have always been timid don't know how to control water.
The district official still understood that if the river embankment was not blocked, something big would happen sooner or later, so he organized 20,000 to 30,000 people to block the damaged river embankments.
We finally got through the rainy season. There is only one month left before the autumn harvest. Now, no matter whether it is the sages of Kotoku-ji Temple, Yun-sei of Shōhō-ji Temple, the beauty of Zuisen-ji Temple, or the long-term deity, Mitsukane Ishiguro cannot sit still.
Now, when the autumn harvest comes, no matter how many Xiangyi troops there are, they are forced to disband. There is no such thing as military service in Xiangzong. They all rely on words to encourage believers to join the army voluntarily as cannon fodder, and the district officials use their own gang members as the main force.
The cannon fodder has to go back to collect food, and the officials also have to go back to collect food. In the blink of an eye, there are only 200 soldiers left in the army of 100,000. Thank God. Even if there are only 2000 people left, it won't be too surprising.
As a storm that swept through Yuezhong gradually dissipated, the day after the rainstorm ended, Shengxing Temple Yuncheng led the 30,000 troops towards Yujin City. When he left, he swore that he would capture the city and let him
They realized how wrong their choice was, and Cheng Xian of Guangtoku Temple watched them leave in embarrassment, as if he didn't care.
"No matter what, I will decide this Vietnam!" Kotokuji Chengxian turned around and gave the order. Soon the army began to beat the war drum, and then the army suddenly moved, and the low sound of the conch sounded.
, the 78,000-strong army began to move in large numbers. They crossed the river shouting the chant of "Namo Amitabha", roared the chant to reorganize their ranks, and then rushed towards Matsukura Castle in a swarm.
Fanatic believers are the biggest support of Yikui. There are men, women, old and young among the believers. There are examples of young and old bringing their families together. What is even more exaggerated is that the entire village has been mobilized. There are five to six hundred people in the village.
The men gathered in a group, and the men in simple trousers rushed forward with long guns. The old women and children shouted slogans, raised hoes and rakes, and followed without hesitation to attack the city with broken knives and guns.
These people are religious lunatics. They are not as scary as the most ferocious butchers when they kill people, and they are not afraid of death. Because they are superstitious that they can ascend to heaven and enjoy bliss after death, so the Kinai Five Mountains Nandu Beiling denounces them as evil spirits.
Therefore, Hieizan Enryakuji Temple is particularly repulsive to the Ichiko sect.
The organization of the Yi Kui Army was not tight. There were many people of thirty or fifty who gathered together and marched together. Only when they attacked the city would they crowd into a swarm of sardines and charge. The Yi Kui Army at the front lifted up from the battlefield.
He picked up a broken wooden bow and shot arrows at Shuiwei Mountain City. The so-called arrows were sharpened branches. They fell before they flew ten meters away, putting no pressure on the defenders in the city.
The defenders on the city would not be polite to them. The samurai belonging to Kira's new army raised their heavy vine bows and fired back at the Yi Kui army below the city. The first wave of attacks on the city became a veritable one-man show. The Yi Kui army braved the storm and rained arrows.
The most brutal move to attack the city is to climb up the city with ants attached to it.
Seeing an army at the bottom of the city begin to climb the city, the number of archers at the top of the city tripled, and the arrows rained down like a rain of arrows. A little girl was hit by the arrows splashed from the top of the city, and she fell down without saying a word.
On the ground, his parents just looked at it indifferently and chanted a few Buddhist chants before jumping into the rolling torrent. The dead little girl was trampled into human flesh by the crazy believers not long after.
I don’t know why such a small child went to the city. Maybe her cruel parents wanted to take their children to heaven and have fun together. For Xiang Yijun, such children are not even considered consumables. Statistics on the number of soldiers
Children under the age of twelve are simply ignored here. They are just extras at most.
One characteristic of the castle group with Matsukura Castle as the core is that all castles are built near the tops of mountains. This type of castle defense network is almost the same as Shinano's Toishi Castle and Ueno Minawa Castle.
After all, the cut hillside is as steep as a sword, and the solid stone walls and arrow oars have become the best firepower output points.
Xiang Yikui's army attacked for three consecutive days. The small space was not easy to display the formation, which weakened Xiang Yikui's numerical advantage to the greatest extent. The fierce firepower of Shuiwei Mountain City, Shengxing Mountain City, and Akasaka Village repelled the attacks again and again. Xiang Yikui's army seemed to have consciously controlled the attack. The unarmed old, weak, women and children were at the front of the line to attack the city. The bloody scene was shocking.
These ordinary people had neither weapons nor armor. When they rushed to the city, they were piled on top of each other and tried to climb up. The old man was stepped down and became a stepping stone for the woman. Then the woman was stepped down by another old man, and they could not climb up the city. Some people paid their lives for it when they went up, and soon the several roads under the city were filled with corpses of believers. They were like invincible little strong men who were beaten back time and time again and turned back again and again to continue attacking the city.
It was the turn of summer and autumn, and no one was cleaning up the piles of corpses under several walled cities. Dark red blood was flowing everywhere and exuding an unbearable stench. The maggots on the corpses were infested with a foul smell that filled half of the sky, regardless of the consequences. The attack on the city still brought huge psychological pressure to the defenders in the city. The samurai on the arrows and oars could not stand at all. It was like a Shura field in hell. The seven or eight new Kira troops in the arrows and oars at the head of the city were so scared that their faces were pale and pale. I can't even hold a long bow.
The military commanders supervising the battle secretly prayed in their hearts: "It's so miserable. They are simply evil ghosts and yakshas in hell. May the gods and Buddhas protect them from such misery in the next life..."
The samurai who led several new troops was an immature boy of sixteen or seventeen years old. His name was Uehara Shinjiro. He came from an underground family in the town of Omi Sakamoto Castle. Several generations of his family had been craftsmen in the town and they were also local aborigines of Omi. , from his great-grandfather's generation, there were several branches, and now several generations have been operating and have quite a lot of business, so they have become one of several old underground families in the castle town. The previous family was called the Shinzaemon family, and now it is called the Uehara Shinzaemon family. The door family.
His family has followed the Kira family since the 19th year of Tenmon. Many members of the family served in the military for the Kira family. Shinjiro's father and several clan uncles died in the Fukakusa Battle and the Katsuraikawa Battle, so he was classified as a Kira clan. With the support group, several widows in the family receive monthly support from the Kira family.
Because of his family's merits, he was classified as a member of the Kira clan with roots in the Miao family. With the merits of his father and brother, the family transformed from a castle town underground to a real samurai. The name of Miao Uehara was still the name of Miao given by Kira Yi Shihong. At the age of sixteen, he became The basic samurai of the Ashigaru-gumi was regarded as a promising talent among the 5,000-strong new army. But at this moment, the boy was hiding in the arrow oar, not even daring to raise his head, like a frightened quail.
Ashigaru Banto Honda and Ubei noticed that the arrow oar at the top of the city suddenly misfired. They climbed up on the oar in twos and twos and shouted at the panicked young man: "Shinjiro! What are you doing! Stand up quickly and let them climb up to us. Everyone must die! Everyone must die, do you understand? Think about the fact that your family has made a marriage contract for you, and then think about the family fortune of your Uehara family, stand up!"
"Uncle Youbei! I'm really afraid of them. They're so scary! They'll die..."
"Shut up!" He grabbed Uehara Shinjiro's armor, held down his head and asked him to look down. The dense crowd under the city was howling crazily and rushing towards the city wall desperately. Honda and Youbei's angry faces were distorted, and they roared: "Let me see it clearly! Are they humans? They are puppets possessed by evil spirits! Only evil spirits can drive out such crazy things, so they are evil spirits, and we are samurai! Behind us stands Genji At Dongliang’s house, there is Hachiman Daimyojin standing! What are you afraid of! Tell me what you are afraid of!”
"I...I don't know, they, they..."
"They are possessed by evil spirits! We must use our bows, arrows, swords and guns to rescue the evil spirits and free them from suffering. Do you understand?"
Uehara Shinjiro was trembling with fright, and nodded hurriedly: "Ming... I understand."
"Then follow my movements, take a deep breath, raise your bow and arrow, aim at them, and shoot!"
The black arrow flew out of the scull at an extremely fast speed and penetrated into the necks of the middle-aged believers who were climbing crazily under the city. The person hit by the arrow subconsciously raised his head and looked towards the city, with terrible fanaticism and cruelty in his eyes. That is not docility.
The eyes that a farmer should have, his blood-colored pupils gradually became blurry, until he fell softly and fell into the crowd below and disappeared. The next moment, new believers pounced on him, repeating the Buddha's chants and frantically rushing towards the city.
The scene looked like the end of the world.
"They are not human beings, they are puppets possessed by evil spirits. We kill them to save them." Uehara Shinjiro gradually calmed down, his clarifying eyes showed firmness, he raised his big bow and clasped the sharp arrow to calmly kill the ones below.
He always teases the public.
This was not a siege at all, but just a one-sided massacre, or a sacrifice of human lives for consumables in the city. The brutal attack on the city and the bloody scenes were something the Ashigaru at the head of the city had never seen before. This brought great consequences to the defenders.
It comes with a huge psychological burden. Not everyone can survive what Shinjiro Uehara has experienced. There are many ashigaru who are frightened and frightened. The frightened ones are even sent to the rear to guard the armory. The frightened ashigaru are crazy.
He yelled and disturbed the morale of the troops and was caught and beheaded by the military commander.
If he were an ordinary general, he would definitely be in chaos this time. If internal problems are not handled well, it may cause greater turmoil, which may turn into an army without a fight. He has always been able to enter the city easily. Judging from the current situation, the effect is good.
, no matter how timely the suppression in the city is, it will inevitably reduce the combat effectiveness. Nearly half of the samurai and ashigaru are mentally lethargic.
"Have you seen it? That's the tactics of the poor monk. Who will dare to look down on the military strategy of the poor monk in the future! No matter how high your city is, if no one can defend it, it will be in vain!" Chengxian of Guangde Temple said with a proud look on his face.
, the energy with which he scolded Fang Qiu was a bit arrogant.
"Young monk, this method is indeed very clever. If you follow this method, you can capture a city in less than three days! It's really wonderful, haha..." A group of Yuezhongfang officials came over and flattered each other wildly, making Chengxian of Guangde Temple smile.
I get up and enjoy the adulation from all the stars.
"Is this what it feels like to be flattered? It's really good!" Guangde Temple waved his hands reservedly, pretending to be modest: "Actually, if he is not a mediocre general, he will always have something to deal with. Taking the city in three days is still
It’s too much! From the perspective of the poor monk, it only takes five or seven days! We must leave some leeway!"
"Yes, yes! We can capture it in five or seven days, so we'll wait and see!" The official of Yuezhongfang threw out his flattery for free, and made Chengxian of Guangde Temple laugh out loud as he strode back to Xiguang Temple.
