Chapter 420: The Siege of Zengshan City

Looking at Kojima's pride and enthusiasm, and seeing how he behaves like a prodigy, Terashima couldn't help but asked with a sullen face: "I'm very curious as to why Your Majesty calls himself "I," and calls the lord Jinbo-sama.

?Could it be that His Highness Zhi Zhen just climbed up to the big tree and thought he was prosperous and forgot about us fellow warriors who lived a hard life?"

"Because I have surrendered to the Kira family and gained the ability to secure the Fire Palace Castle, I am one of the many followers of the Ezhong family, and I serve as the deputy of the Ezhong leader Daxiong Chaoxiu to assist in all matters in Ezhong..." Kojima smiled.

Hehe said: "By the way, I have an important piece of news for you all. Before I came down here, I just returned from Echizen Ichijogaya Castle. I made an agreement with His Highness Echizen Asakura Zaemon, the Governor of Echizen Asakura Zaemon, on the orders of the Sudan Main Hall.

We agreed to use the Tetori River as the boundary to jointly divide the power of the Kaga Ichikai clan."

The scene suddenly became very quiet. The samurai present all understood what this short sentence meant. The hatred between the Asakura family and the Kaga Ichikou clan was so deep that it was impossible to put it into words. The two families had remained the same for sixty years.

They are entangled together, and there is always a tug of war between Echizen and Kaga.

But because the strength of the Ichiko sect is really strong, as early as decades ago, one invaded Echizen and established a bureaucracy. After decades of taking root, the power is extremely amazing, and the Kaga Ichiko sect has always been very independent and strong, even Ishiyama

Honganji's edicts were mostly ignored, and there have been many records of General Kaga Ichimumu killing envoys sent by Ishiyama Honganji.

For example, the Sakai Shinshuji edition of "Self Heart" records an amazing incident on April 26, the second year of Hongji's reign (1556). In this year, Asakura Sotiti died of illness, which greatly reduced the offensive momentum of the Asakura family.

At the beginning of the month, neither the Ishiyama Honganji nor the Echizen Asakura family had any intention of continuing the war, so the envoys from both sides rushed back and forth to discuss the conclusion of a peace agreement. Just when the two sides were preparing to sign an agreement to withdraw their troops, Echizen Ichigo sent General Choshoji Kyouyoshi to the clan.

The envoy of Ishiyama Honganji Temple, Shimoma Yoriyan, was poisoned and killed.

Because the messenger in charge of the negotiations was suddenly killed, the peace talks between the Asakura family and Ishiyama Honganji Temple almost collapsed. Asakura Kageki wanted to use his sword to kill Chaoshengji Kyoho, but this barbarian monk was really weak.

Don't show up. The Buddhist master Honganji who is sitting in Kinai looks as if he knows that his envoy has been killed again. His expression is really wonderful and wonderful.

It is such a group of lawless bastard barbarian monks. In fact, Ishiyama Honganji also dislikes it very much. Unfortunately, the temptation of the Hokuriku country is too great, big enough for Honganji to appear to be taking the blame for these lawless barbarian monks. The outside world has always regarded

Zong's bad comments were mostly caused by the troubles caused by this group of Kaga.

Uesugi Masatora's proposal was obviously inspired by Kira Yoshitoki. It was a big deal to agree with the Asakura family to go out and share Kaga together. But the Shinbo Choji was not intimidated by this. He had a very quick mind.

Kai started calmly and said: "Dividing Kaga together is probably an excuse for Lord Jinfu and Tanshoden. As far as I know, the Kira family's attack target has never been in the direction of Hokuriku. With Lord Jinfu's strength, if he wants to conquer the north

Lu Dao, Vietnam and China will not wait until now to take action!"

"I really don't dare to speculate on the plans of His Highness Gonggao and Danzhengden. If His Highness Jinbo thinks this is the case, then so be it!" Kojima Zhizhen smiled and continued: "As a former minister, I would like to advise His Highness Jinbao.

In a sentence, if you surrender to the Lord of Jinfu, you will still have a place in the Jinbo clan. If you follow the Kaga Ichikou clan, you will probably have bad luck. Please make plans in advance and don’t miss this good opportunity. Don’t spend more than 100 yuan for Kaga Ichikō clan.

The family fortune accumulated through years of hard work.”

The Jinbo Choji knew that the Kojima Shizhen probably thought that he had not given up on Kaga Ichikune, so he said more words. From then until now, he had repeatedly talked too much and even violated the law to reveal the truth to the Jinbo Choji. This was nothing more than helping the Jinbo under the pretense of serving the public good for selfish reasons.

Long-term positions and decades of kindness between monarchs and ministers cannot be given up by just one round of trouble. Xiaodao Zhizhen's willingness to take risks to relieve him is indeed a well-intentioned move.

Thinking of this, the Chief Divine Protector nodded with gratitude and said, "Thank you, His Highness Kojima, for the reminder. I will seriously consider it!"

"Then farewell!" Kojima handed over the paperwork, bowed and stood up to leave.

Terashima Jobsaid said in confusion: "My lord! The attitude of Kojima Jobs Town is very strange! If I would never have been so talkative before, could there be some fraud in this?"

"It's not a fraud. It's just that he took the risk of violating the law to help our family!" The chief priest sighed: "It seems it's time to make a decision!"

There was less rain in Yuezhong this year. The storm in July stopped falling for half a month, and then there were sunny days for a month and a half. The red sun scorched the earth and evaporated the water that had fallen for many days.

One sunny day in summer can withstand the heat of two days in April and May, and the sunshine is so long that you will be sweating profusely after walking outside for a while.

In early September, when the autumn harvest had already begun in Ezhong, Choshoji Miteru planned to take advantage of the distraction of Kira's army to attack Masuyama Castle with all his strength. The newly raised army totaled more than 103,600 people.

, Sugiura Genjin's ability to capture young men was extraordinary. In just a few days, he had collected more than 7,600 young men. Given a few more days, he might be able to gather 10,000 men.

Therefore, Kaga's propaganda to the outside world is that there are 120,000 troops. In fact, only 80,000 troops are used. The other 23,000 troops are stationed in various towns to guard the streets and guard the streets to resist the southward Kira army. The Jinbo Nagasaki headquarters has 3,000 troops.

Guarding Tohokan, as an important point on the west bank of the Wada River, his role is to protect the road from being blocked by the Kira Army, and the 3,500 Japanese people under the command of Jinbo Naga are scattered in various villages in the Tonami Plains as eyeliners

, to provide information to the Chief Divine Officer who is stationed in the Tohokan.

To be honest, this arrangement is very rigorous. It can be said that even a master of military strategy would never be able to come up with such a detailed arrangement. Even if the chief minister of the gods could do it, he would never be able to do it to this extent. It is conceivable that Uesugi Masaru would be released in Tsu Castle.

If the tiger really comes south, if you are not careful, you will be delayed by such a densely packed 20,000-strong army.

If you take into account the hatred of the Yue-Chinese who have lost their territory towards the Kira family, then this tactic is likely to evolve into a human sea tactic similar to the vast ocean. With many people familiar with the terrain, as long as they harass along the way, they can hold back the Kira army going south. Even if

Masatora Uesugi's majestic power swept through thousands of troops, but his sweep would eliminate all the sudden tactics of the main force moving south. At that time, Choshoji Miteru could calmly turn around, cross the river, and reorganize the army to prepare for a smooth surprise attack.

It becomes an encounter.

On September 9th, the Double Ninth Festival, also known as the Autumn Festival, Kaga, who did not know how to be elegant, broke out of camp that morning. A large group of 80,000 troops came to Qianguangji Ferry to cross the river, consuming nearly a morning's work.

It took only a short time to send more than half of the 80,000 troops across. When there were still 30,000 troops on the west bank of Zhuangchuan, the crossing suddenly stopped. The remaining 30,000 troops camped on the opposite bank of Zhuangchuan and could not leave.

Chaoshengji Miteru always felt a little panicked in his heart. Although he was a Buddhist, he was not an eminent monk who was proficient in Buddhist scriptures, but a martial artist who never believed in fate. The reason why he stayed here sounded ridiculous, but he just wanted to feel at ease. He thought silently in his heart.

He murmured a few Buddhist chants to himself: "If fifty thousand people can capture Zengshan City, it would be a waste to go to eighty thousand. If fifty thousand people cannot capture Zengshan City, it would be meaningless to go to eighty thousand."

His move frightened some people. The sentry samurai from the Jimbo family hurried back to Tohokan and reported back: "Kaga has always believed that the army crossing the river only has 50,000 people. The leader of the Choshoji Miteru

The 30,000-strong army had not yet crossed the river, but chose to camp on the west bank of Zhuangchuan River and stay put."

Shuiyue Shengzhong asked nervously: "What is he going to do? Has he smelled something? Will it be detrimental to us?"

The Chief Divine Protector was also very nervous, but he could not say anything depressing. He forced a smile and comforted him: "Probably not. If Miteru Choshoji knows about our plan, he will either lead his army to attack Tohokan, or

If we recruit this family into our formation and detain them, our plan will naturally fail."

It is understandable that the Jinbo retainers suspected Choshoji Mitaru's abnormal behavior. Their involvement in Uesugi Masatora was a fatal matter. Once Choshoji Mitaru discovered something was wrong, it would be a life-threatening matter. They would really

They are not sure how much the Kira family can support them. It would be a big loss if they abandon their own family.

Worse was still to come. Genjin Sugiura led an army of 20,000 people to Ganseiji Temple and set up a main camp. Korinji Temple's Hideo, Anyangji Temple's Toshi, and Honmuji Temple's Junyuki each led an army of 10,000 people and stayed behind.

At Ganseiji Temple, only his 20,000 troops launched an attack on Masuyama Castle. This arrangement made Jinbo Nagashi very confused.

Sugiura Gento's 20,000-strong army did not cause much trouble to the 10,000 defenders in Masuyama Castle. They attacked again and again and were repelled again and again. It took until the evening before they attacked for five or six rounds, with less than 600 casualties. Then Sugiura Gento's attack

With the army in full swing, they withdrew from Ganseiji Temple to rest and recuperate. Just when the chief priest thought that today's war was about to end, Ganseiji Temple poured out 30,000 troops and attacked Zengshan Castle in a swarm.

Yoji Ryojun and Motoji Junyuki joined forces to besiege Masuyama Castle.

Although the military level of these three people was not worth mentioning at all, this wheel tactic still put huge pressure on the defenders in Zengshan City. As the afterglow on the horizon dissipated in the evening, the main force of the army, which had always been in control, began to descend the mountain.

Some of the troops were left behind, raised their torches, and continued to attack the city unhurriedly. The fighting was not intense, but they fired a few waves of arrows outside the city to harass the defenders inside. They didn't even give them time to eat. This was a waste of time.

The battle lasted until midnight before the defenders outside the city gradually retreated.

Early the next morning, Genjin Sugiura led an army of less than 20,000 men to attack Masuyama Castle. Only then did the chief minister of the gods understand their tactics and secretly said: "What a wheel tactic plus a strategy of exhausting troops, from daybreak

The battle lasted until midnight, if the other guard couldn't hold on for two days, he would have collapsed!"

This method of wheel fighting and fatigue is obviously much better than that of Chengxian of Guangtoku Temple, but there will always be a huge danger when he does this. A faint smile appeared on the face of the chief minister: "Isn't this right?

Do you have an appetite for Uesugi Danzenden?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please go to m. to read.)
