Fox Tomb, where Shiba Yiyin lurks.
Tozawa Mori'an knelt in front of Yiyin and listened to his lecture.
"Originally, I transferred you to my main formation to praise your bravery and loyalty for climbing Tangmu Mountain first. I didn't expect that the war was so fierce and I had to lead my troops to charge into the battle. Instead, it ended up harming you.
You are injured. I am removing you from your post not to express guilt, but to let you rest in peace and recuperate. Don't worry too much. "
Tozawa Mori'an fell to the ground and kowtowed, feeling sad and angry.
"To benefit the martial arts family, life and death depend on..."
Yiyin interrupted.
"Don't talk nonsense. God is watching. Be careful if a thunderbolt comes down and kills you, it will kill me too."
Tozawa Mori'an kowtowed heavily and said.
"The foreign minister has been practicing martial arts since he was a child and is in good health. This injury will not hinder the battle. I am willing to follow you and fight for the Wu family and the world!"
Yiyin smiled.
"You go to Tangmu Mountain first and win the first prize in this battle. Who knows the name of Yaksha Jiuniang?
I'm not looking down on your bravery, it's just that you came all the way to Juyi, and now you're injured. I can't bear for a heroic lady like you to be left here, so I don't want you to charge with me. "
Tozawa Moriyasu knelt in front of Yiyin, eager to explain, but accidentally caused his injury and started coughing.
Yiyin sighed and helped her up.
"I know your desire to repay with your fists, but you climbed Tangmu Mountain first, and you have already suffered several wounds and your vitality has been damaged. If you forcefully participate in this charge, I am afraid that you will not be able to survive the battle and die of exhaustion.
After traveling thousands of miles and becoming famous in one battle, the good days of your Tozawa family are still to come, so why bother fighting for this short time. "
Yoshigan really didn't want Tozawa Moriyasu to participate in this charge.
He gave Tozawa Moriyasu high-standard treatment, hoping that this powerful Yasha Jiuniang would help him support his reputation in the Ou area in the future.
If this person is killed in Yuwu Lake, the previous kindness will be in vain.
Who knows if the Tozawa family is reliable? If the powerful Tozawa Moriyasu dies, leaving behind a group of scum that cannot be helped, wouldn’t Yiyin’s early investment be in vain?
The honorary treatment that has been given to the Tozawa family cannot be reduced. If it is reduced, it will be a slap in the face of Yoshigage himself.
But without the powerful Tozawa Moriyasu in charge of Ou, Yoshigan would not know the background of the Tozawa family, and it would be difficult to take advantage of it.
Yoshigan looked at Tozawa Mori'an's face that was flushed due to coughing. This heroic woman was good-looking and had a good figure and temperament. She was a suitable match for Yoshigan.
Moreover, she is brave and resourceful, and her martial arts and military skills are excellent. As long as she is given a night of friendship and the relationship between the two parties is stabilized, Yoshigami is sure that she has a person in Ou who can fight and trust her.
Compared with Mogami Osaki's capricious and unreliable cheap relatives, the women he had messed with were more trustworthy.
Yoshigami had his own plans, but Tozawa Moriyasu was unwilling to take over his good intentions, so he had to go to see the king and plead for a fight.
Tozawa Mori'an has indeed taken a lot of advantages during his recent visit, which has benefited the Tozawa family a lot. But she didn't know that Yiyin was teasing her and asking her to help oversee the future plans of Ouba.
In her opinion, the Battle of Yuwu Lake is a key battle that determines the ebb and flow of the Shiba Oda family. The Tozawa family must leave traces of iron and blood here in order to be conducive to establishing a solid foundation for the prefecture.
The previous Shangluo Shouyi made the first achievement, which sounds domineering, but in fact, Tozawa Mori'an did not achieve any great achievements that convinced Zhu Ji.
It was only because Yiyin praised her and set an example for political propaganda that Zhu Ji cooperated with the compliments.
Tozawa Mori'an knew in his heart that only political flattery was unreliable. In the final analysis, the samurai family had to rely on real swords and guns in their hands to shed blood in battle, and only through military exploits could people be convinced.
If you miss this battle, you may never have the chance to encounter a decisive battle of this level again in your life.
That's why Tozawa Mori'an risked her own life and begged the Lord for mercy, allowing her to follow Shiba and charge into battle together with the others.
After she survived, the Tozawa family naturally prospered. Even if she dies, your Majesty will remember the blood that Tozawa Moriyasu shed for the Wu family, and you will definitely protect the Tozawa family business.
Tozawa Mori'an had a good idea, but her idea was the traditional idea of a samurai family serving the public as a reward.
Yiyin embarked on the Shinto path. At this time, his thoughts and concepts have changed. The most important thing is to use the convenience of becoming a god to spread the branches and control the overall situation.
Tozawa Mori'an's idea was to use his death to seek glory for the Tozawa family.
Yoshigan's idea is to use his Jill to win over Tozawa Moriyasu and make her his die-hard loyalist.
It was just because of some small deviations in the minds of the two that the embarrassing situation at this time was caused.
Tozawa Mori'an wanted to die, but Yoshigan wanted to live. Even though Tozawa Moriyasu followed him from Gyoichi Mountain to Fox Tomb and knelt down to plead, Yoshihiro did not relent.
At this moment of the stalemate, Kamouso's hometown hurriedly came over.
"Your Majesty! The troops in Dongye Mountain have moved!"
Yiyin's face turned solemn, and he only heard the continuous sound of conch coming from the battlefield ahead.
He raised his head and squinted at the position of the sun. Before noon, the main force of Oda from Higashinoyama was dispatched?
"Let's go! Take a look!"
"Hi!"
Kamojigo led the way, and Yiyin tried to leave, but was held in place by a pair of hands.
He looked back and saw Tozawa Mori'an looking at him with a look of concern on his face, holding his thighs with both hands.
"Your Majesty, please!"
Yiyin sighed, half-knelt on the ground, lifted Tozawa Moriyasu's chin with his fingers, and kissed it gently.
Tozawa Mori'an's eyes widened, he could hardly believe it, and subconsciously let go of his hand.
Yiyin whispered in her ear.
"I won't allow you to die. Just take good care of yourself and live a good life. I told you that your good days are still to come. Why are you anxious?"
After saying that, Yiyin turned around and left.
The war was urgent, and he had no time to continue arguing with Tozawa Mori'an, so giving her a kiss was a reassurance.
No one in this world would deliberately seek death. Tozawa Mori'an did this because he just felt that his death in battle would be most beneficial to the Tozawa family.
But Yi Gin used this kiss to tell her that she was more useful to the Tozawa family while she was alive, and that the king's favor was more beneficial than the heroes who died in battle.
After Yoshigan left, Tozawa Mori'an touched his lips and felt the warmth belonging to Yoshigan, making sure that he was not dreaming.
Her expression became very wonderful, with surprise, doubt, contemplation, hesitation, and finally determination. She stood up, coughed twice, and then slowly walked outside the formation.
The Tozawa Iehime warriors who were waiting anxiously for her outside the Jinbu saw her coming out and quickly came up and bowed and asked.
"Family Governor, what did Jinduo Palace say? Do you allow us to participate in the charge?"
Several of the Hime Warriors were in high spirits and seemed to want to fight to the death more than Tozawa Moriyasu.
The news from behind the formation has spread. Your Majesty promised the Sanada Army that as long as they conquer Oiwa Mountain, they will get two hundred Sibo troops.
The name of the hard-core crops compiled by Si Bo is known all over the world. The Sanada army can take it, why can't the Tozawa family take it?
Tsudaden personally led his troops to charge, and his followers died in the battle. Shiba's preparation must have been properly obtained. Tsudaden was kind and generous, so he would not be stingy with the fallen Samurai Hime.
Therefore, the Tozawa family's Ji Samurai, they want to go into battle with Shiba and the others more than Tozawa Moriyasu.
If you come back alive, you will be rewarded heavily. If you die in battle, you will leave a solid crop for your family. This kind of good thing can only be obtained in a few lifetimes.
Even if some people were a little cautious, as soon as the possibility of Tsudo Hall's defeat came up, the thought was extinguished by themselves.
Tsudo-don is invincible, how could he lose? If everyone follows Jindo Hall, they will definitely get promoted and make a fortune!
Tozawa Mori'an looked at the expectant eyes of several people, shook his head and said.
"Let's go back."
"go back?"
"Yes, go back to recuperate. We will go up to Tangmu Mountain first, and everyone like me will be injured. Jindoden Renyi cannot bear to let us go into battle with injuries, so let us go back to rest."
A Ji warrior couldn't help but retorted.
"Master, this injury is nothing, we..."
Tozawa Mori'an's eyes flashed sharply and he cursed.
"Bagajia Road! Are you going to disobey Jindoden's order?"
The Ji warrior had sweat on his forehead and bowed deeply.
"I'm so sorry! I deserve death!"
Tozawa Mori'an didn't look at her and walked back alone.
Several Ji warriors looked at me and I looked at you, looking at each other in confusion. I wonder what the governor is thinking? Isn't it the family governor himself who was so impassioned before that he wanted to fight to death for the Wu family?
Little did they know that Tozawa Mori'an's heart was filled with wildfire.
What if you missed the Battle of Shiba Oda? If she can become a guest at Tsuta-den and guard the Ou border for the Shiba family, the Tozawa family will really become prosperous this time!
How the Date family rose to prominence, the Ou samurai family knew very well. It was Kamiro who made General Ashikaga happy, and then squeezed out the position of the Mogami Osaki family and became the representative of the shogunate in the Ou region.
Ou has a lot of permafrost and looks like a vast geographical area, but in fact it has very few people and little cultivated land. The attitude of the successive shogunates toward the Ou area was to find someone to watch over the situation and not cause trouble for themselves.
The relatives of the Shiba family were the side branches who were sent to see the scene, while the Date family were the shogunate's licking dogs who came together on their own.
Now, it's the Tozawa family's turn to prosper.
Tozawa Moriyasu felt her whole body burning with thought. If she could gain the trust of Tsutado-den and establish a special relationship between the two parties, then the future of the Tozawa family would not be just a territory of more than 40,000 koku.
During the heyday of the Date family, they were said to hold a million stones of Ou.
The more Tozawa Mori'an thought about it, the more excited she became. With such great benefits ahead, how could she be willing to die? Hurry back and take good care of your health. Only by taking good care of your body can you make Jinduodian happy.
Yiyin didn't know yet that just because of his gentle kiss, Tozawa Moriyasu would think so deeply that he had already started thinking about how to make Junshang happy in a concave position on the bed.
———
Tozawa Mori'an left happily, while Yoshigin followed Kamao Clan to a high place, overlooking the frontline battlefield and observing Oda's main force on Higashinoyama.
As for Maeda, who was on the battlefield, she was always paying attention to Higashinoyama's movements and reacted immediately.
Facing Oda's main force, which was deployed down the mountain, Saba's army, led by the recent Saba leader, quickly spread out on the flanks, tit for tat.
The distant sound of conch blowing continued, and the Oda army's front spread to both sides. On the thousand-meter-wide front, a full ten reserve troops appeared, assuming an attack posture.
Maeda Yoshida, who had already walked out of the formation, frowned and gave orders to those around him.
"Let Suzuki Shigehide bring the Zaga people up to assist my reserve team in dealing with the Oda army's iron artillery bow and arrows.
Send someone to Domushan to tell Akechi Mitsuhide that it's time for them to move.
Prepare troops in the field and prepare troops in the field. Fill in from the left and right wings respectively. Don't let the opponent surround our flanks.
Report to Foxzuka that my Maeda interests are strictly guarding the defense line. I sincerely ask you to wait for the opportunity to make a decision. I wish you good luck in martial arts. "
Orders were issued one after another, causing the fish to rush out and run in all directions.
Maeda's eyes were always looking forward, keeping an eye on the opponent's every move.
In the first wave, ten reserve teams were sent out, deliberately lengthening the front line. The Oda army showed full confidence, just to see how good these elites the Oda family were proud of were.
———
The first Oda troops to go down the mountain were the elite reserves from Owari. For the first wave of offensive, Hirate Fanhide even moved forward and personally commanded these reserves to attack the enemy formation.
In front of the Siwa Army is Mount Iwasaki, and the ten reserve troops coming down from Higashino Mountain are exactly lined up on the flanks of the Siwa Army.
The Shiba Army also quickly mobilized its reserve troops from behind the formation, formed a confrontation with the Oda Army going down the mountain, and started another round on the flank.
After the sound of the conch, the drums rumbled. The ten reserve teams moved forward step by step to the rhythm of the drums, approaching the Spo army.
Oda Ashigaru in front carried three and a half super long spears to form a spear formation.
The three-and-a-half-chamber super long lance was used to block cavalry charges in the past. Generally, two-and-a-half to three-chamber long lances were used in general battles.
These five- to six-meter long spears cannot be used by the general ashigaru of the samurai army. Only professional ashigaru after the separation of peasants and soldiers can successfully form formations in war after training.
On the battlefield, weapons that are inch longer and stronger, one or two meters longer than the average gun array, give the Oda gun array an advantage.
Behind the gun quilt formation were the iron cannons, archers and arrows.
The proportion of iron artillery in Oda's elite reserve team has reached 20-30%, and Oda Nobunaga even hopes to increase this proportion to 50%.
Although iron cannons are expensive, they are simple to train.
It only takes a few months for the Teppanyaki Ashigaru to possess the lethality of a Yuki Samurai, but it takes at least ten years to train a qualified Yugi Samurai.
Years of war and huge economic pressure mean that the Oda family is still unable to equip half of the number of iron cannons with half the personnel, so they can only use the combination of bow and arrows and iron cannons to fill the staff.
Iron cannons directly hit, bows and arrows were thrown, and they cooperated with each other to form a continuous long-range attack under the protection of the spear array composed of super long guns.
This is a new type of reserve team trained by Oda Nobunaga after his cooperation with the Nanman Cult.
Although it is far inferior to the Spanish Grand Formation, it is already a dimensionality-reducing blow to deal with the traditional military preparations of half peasants and half soldiers in the island country.
In addition to the new military strength, Oda Nobunaga also liked to rely on the huge food advantage of the Nobi Plain, choose the busy farming season to attack the enemy's territory, and use off-season tactics to create famine and chaos in the opponent.
Whether it is tactics or strategy, the Oda family's military strategies are innovative and far stronger than the traditional samurai family.
Only then did Oda Nobunaga continue to crush the surrounding forces like a bulldozer, and quickly built a huge family fortune of three million koku.
Today, it is also the turn of the traditional reserve team of the Shiba camp to taste the power of Oda's new army.
