Chapter 802 Connecting to several cities (4)
Toei Castle in Usa Omiyashi family, Usa County, Toemae is Takada Castle in the east of Yoshinori family, Toemaema Omiyashi family, Toemaema Omiyashi family, Toemaema Omiyashi family, Toemaema Omiyashi family, Toemaema Omiyashi family, Toemaema Omiyashi family, Toemaema Omiyashi family, Toemaema Omiyashi group to the west of it, Toemaema is Myomiyashi Castle in the north of it.
From a strategic perspective, as long as you control Toshima Castle, you can divide the territory of Usa Omiya Shi family into two areas, Usa County and Shimao County. Judging from the layout of the entire Toshima and Toshimao County, taking down Toshimao City is equivalent to dividing the southeastern Toshimao County into two parts, one is Usa County and Shimao County, and the other is Usa County. At the same time, you can also put pressure on the neighboring Toshimao County region. Therefore, taking down this place is equivalent to nailing a nail in the local area, thereby dividing the local forces.
It is not easy to capture Shizhi Castle. After all, the Usa Omiya Shi family also knows the strategic significance of the city's location. Therefore, at least hundreds of troops are stationed in the city. With these hundreds of defenders, even if they are attacked by several times their forces, they can support the arrival of support and reinforcements from other places. Therefore, if they want to capture this city, they must lure the defenders in the city out of the city.
The first, third and fourth third troops of the Luo family were not only responsible for storing the areas along the way, but also played the role of leading snakes out of the cave.
Yoshida Shigemasa and Yamamoto Kazusuke's first army are located. The goal of the strategy is Yamao County, Toyomaeki, which is very close to the eastern part of Shimo County, which is close to Ushimao County. As long as the first army makes a lot of noise in the local area and shows a destructive trend, Tatozaki Castle, the Usa Omiya Shi family, which is an important town in the eastern part of Shimo County, will definitely feel the pressure. They will even draw reinforcements from Toki Castle in the rear to assist in defending the castle.
The third army where Masaru Kinoshita is located is. As long as the local area in the western part of Shimo County is more dynamic, Tatosaki Castle will also feel the pressure in the eastern part of Shimo County, and will also draw reinforcements from Toechi Castle in the rear to assist in defending the castle.
The fourth army where Aguda and Kakuma Ishisect are located is the most important part of the plan to lead the snake out of the cave. Because the goal of this army's strategy is the Dragon King Castle, the residence of the Usa Omiya Shi family. The Dragon King Castle is located on the hillside of the towering and steep Ryuko Mountain in Usa County. It is surrounded by cliffs on three sides, and there are springs on the mountain. As long as enough food is stored in the city, it is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. At the same time, because there are several fertile mountain basins at the foot of the mountain, it is also the location of the Usa Shrine. It is the place where the Usa Omiya Shi family has made its fortune, so it has always been the residence of the Usa Omiya Shi family.
Since Dragon King City is easy to defend but difficult to attack, Masayoshi's strategy requirements for the Fourth Army this time are also very simple, that is, to implement a siege tactic on Dragon King City, and at the same time make a false statement that he is ready to bypass Dragon King City and then continue to go deep into other areas of Usa County.
Of course, even if it is just a siege tactic, it is not easy to implement. Near Dragon King City, there are Qingshan Castle of the Sugi family, Myomiya Castle, and Shizhi Castle of the Usa Omiya family. These cities will come out to support the Dragon King City at any time. Therefore, during this period, the Fourth Army must stick to the local area and nail it to the local area like a nail to restrain the forces in these areas (similarly, while the other armies are still contributing to the local forces).
In fact, as Masayoshi had expected, after learning that this family city was besieged, Shizhicheng's defenders immediately dispatched to the Shan family's Miaomi Yuecheng, to jointly support the Dragon King City with the Shan family army in Miaomi Yuecheng.
The two of them were responsible for leading the troops to support the Usa Omiyashi family and Sano's personal master. After leading an army of more than 300 people from Toshige Castle, they advanced along the east bank of the Katsugan River under the city. In the afternoon, they arrived at a place called Takamori, which was far away from Toshige Castle, and there was still a lot of distance from Miaomiyashi Castle in the Sugi family ahead.
Just as the Usa Omiya Shi family was heading along the river bank, among the half-light and half-dark woods and half-human tall grass beside them, arrows with cold light were aimed at them.
These ambushed troops here are naturally the second Luo family army led by Murakami Longzhong. As early as when Shizhicheng started mobilizing the military forces last night, they received the reward from the detectives of the family who were mingled in the village outside Shizhicheng, and learned that Shizhicheng's military forces were mobilizing the military forces to prepare to support Dragon King City.
Although they didn't know when the other party would set off, Murakami and others had gathered the Luo family army scattered nearby as refugees overnight. After everyone reassembled the weapons and armor, they rushed here overnight to ambush the place where Longwang City and Miaojian Yue City must pass.
Last night, after discussing with Oya Nobuki Hiroshi, Utsurazu, Nao Tsurumai, Kinqinqing and others, everyone decided to ambush the reinforcements from Toshima Castle to the direction of Dragon King City here, and then, with the cooperation of the prisoners, pretended to be the military force of the Usa Omiya Shi family and took down Toshima Castle first. Perhaps it was God's will, just before the Luo family members had just ambushed in the morning, Toshima Castle (from the eastern part of Usa County to the western part of Myomiya Shin, etc., they all had to follow this road. Since it belonged to the hinterland of Sugima and Usa Omiya Shin, there were no guarded checkpoints here) and reinforcements arrived.
The Luo family army, which had more than 800 people, was scattered in the woods and grass beside the river bank. After the reinforcements of more than 300 people from Zhicheng completely entered the encirclement, Murakami shouted grandly:
"shooting!"
"Swoosh, swosh, swosh..." Hundreds of feathered arrows immediately shot towards the reinforcements of Zhicheng in the middle of the journey like rain of arrows. Since this place is in the hinterland of our family, these reinforcements never expected to be ambushed here. Unpredictable, many people were shot immediately. The reinforcements were also in chaos.
"What's going on? Where did these Luo family troops come from?" Gong Chengki, who was suddenly ambushed, thought to himself as the chief general of the support army, but knew that this was not the time to pursue this matter, so he began to shout loudly to command the soldiers to resist.
At present, the Luo family's army continued to emerge from the forest. Usa Omiya Shi's army was walking along the river bank before, and the marching front was too long and could not concentrate its forces at all. They formed a formation to fight back. Gong Chengki raised his sword in his hand, shouted urgently, and kept ordering the retreating gazes to return and fight back.
For a moment, the Luo family army and the Usa Omiya Si family army were very powerful. They held spears on the bank of the river, stabbing each other and slashing and slashing. Many Usa Omiya Si soldiers who retreated in a messy way slipped and fell into the muddy river beach. Then, they were stabbed to death by several Luo family soldiers who caught up with the spears together.
In this situation, the general peasant soldiers could not count on the resistance. The warriors of the Usa Omiya family's army bet on their lives and fought back to fight back. After killing several people, they flocked to the Luo family's army, dozens of gun formations formed by guns were rushed, and they instantly lost their lives.
The killing continued, and sharp screams kept coming from afar. It was obvious that it was not only here. The Usa Omiya Shi family army at the other two ends had already been defeated. Under the courageous offensive of the Luo family army, the Usa Omiya Shi family army's resistance was just a flash in the pan. The Usa Omiya Shi family army lost its courage and collapsed instantly. Along the river beach, the Usa Omiya Shi family army continued to throw away the bodies.
Gong Chengmi was anxious and angry, his eyes were red, and he watched the Usa Omiya Si family army under his command, and they were able to escape and were killed. However, he still held firmly in the local area with his men and horses, and refused to retreat even if he died. He even went forward and waved his sword to kill several deserters, but this did not have much effect. Usa Omiya Si family army saw this scene and scattered, and bypassed Gong Chengmi and fled elsewhere.
However, they were only more than 300 people surrounded by more than 800 ambushers of the Luo family from three sides, and behind them was a turbulent river, so they had no way to escape.
After a fierce battle, more than 100 soldiers of the Si family in the Great Palace, including the main general Gong Chengki, were killed, and the rest became prisoners of the Luo family. The Luo family also paid the price of dozens of casualties.
"Sir, this person was identified by the captives. This time, the general of the other army." At this time, his subordinates escorted a young general who looked only in his teens but was in a very embarrassed body to Murakami's grandfather.
"Oh? Who are you?" Murakami asked immediately.
"Hmph!" Facing Murakami's grand question, the young man snorted with contempt. This person was Sano Qinshi, the retainer of Usa Omiya Shi family. He and his uncle Takayuki Sano were originally retainers of Yoshiki Yoshiki. After Yoshiki Yoshiki was killed by Tao Longfang, Sano Takayuki took him and the family of the Sano family to migrate to Fengmae Kingdom during the war. In order to expand the local influence of the Sano family in Fengmae Kingdom as soon as possible, Sano Takayuki himself defected to the Sugi family of the Fengmae Kingdom guardian of the Yoshiki family, while Sano Qinshi became a retainer of the Usa Omiya Shiki family under the recommendation of his uncle Takayuki.
As a young man who was just starting out, this ambush was the first battle that Sano personally participated in. It can be said that it was his first formation. But in this first formation, he was defeated, so he was very dissatisfied with the way the Luo family attacked them, and he looked even more despised. Now he naturally has no good attitude towards the people of the Luo family.
