13. Infantry Specialization Zuo Ma Yun

The army of 8,600 people rolled forward according to the inertia left by their fathers and ancestors' years of war, and arrived in just half a day at the Yamauchi family's most important branch city in Torii.

Iwase Mototaka had already learned from Tsunara's uncle that Koheita had made his own decision and betrayed his marriage agreement with the Imakawa clan, and encouraged Imakawa Yoshi-seen to go to Junfu to seize power.

He was old and in his fifties, it was a rare high life for a middle- and low-level samurai. Now he only wants to be stable and dedicated, and pass on his Iwase family business to his son. So at first he heard this news, but he was used to betrayal in the chaotic times of the Warring States Period and immediately knew Xiaoheita's intention.

So Iwase and his son all raised the remaining people of Nimata, and then armed the families, servants, and some peasants under the city to guard Nimata. Iwase Motomasa took Nimata 300 men to cooperate with Takarari's uncle 300 men to attack Takatoshi's god castle.

Xiaoheita saw that Iwase Motogao, who was already fifty-three years old, was wearing armor. There was a stool and a small mud stove for making tea next to the bonfire at the Oshu Gate. It was estimated that the old samurai was really out of his armor for the past three days, and he guarded the city gate without unloading his saddle. Now he saw more than 8,000 troops all over the mountains and fields arrived, and he was relieved.

He carried a gun for thirty-five years for the Yamauchi family. When he was old, he was ordered to guard the Torihiro town of Nitama. Yamauchi Yoshiji trusted them, Iwase family genealogy, and was loyal. There were only fifty soldiers temporarily collected in the city. He did not allow his reputation to be destroyed for a lifetime, and made Yamauchi Yoshiji's instructions go wrong. Koheita boldly took off the Nitama community, so that he could not sleep well for three days.

"It's made you suffer." Koheita jumped down from his horse and bowed to Iwase Moto Takashi.

"It's really a big deal." Iwase Motoki looked at the more than 8,000 people gathered around Nimata Castle and couldn't help but sigh.

"How much military ration is left in the city?" Xiaoheita was even more concerned about this. Due to the hasty rise, Xiaoheita did not collect too much food and grass in Ejiri, and that amount was only enough for the entire army to eat for less than ten days. But Nimata Castle was different. At that time, hundreds of soldiers in the city were trapped for more than half a year. Not only did they have a strong defense, but they also stored a lot of food and weapons.

"There are also 120 stones of rice, 400 stones of wheat, and 150 stones of beans." Iwase Motogao was a qualified samurai and had a very clear understanding of the materials that were related to the city defense.

Xiaoping's eyelids flipped over and thought for a while, and he thought that it was OK. Ertata's military rations were enough for a 10,000 army to eat normally for six days.

"Leave the grain needed for ten days in the city, take out the rest and supply it to the army." Koheita even took away the defenders of Nimata, and he didn't care even more about taking away the grain.

Iwase Motogao looked at Koheita. It is logical that only Yamauchi Yoshiji could move the food, but he did not resist and soon guided the soldiers to open the Nimata granary.

When the soldiers outside the city heard that they could collect food, they came to line up under the city according to the number of people in the team. The merchants of the Ejiri had already smelled the smell of money and soon set up a temporary market on the hem of the city to sell cheap food such as miso, salted fish, seaweed, pickled vegetables and other cheap foods. They watched Xiaoheita send large handfuls of Yongle money to these soldiers, and now all the entire army is rich.

So there were soldiers cooking a large pot of mixed rice under the city. The quality of the big head soldiers was not only determined by the conscience of the lord, but also by whether they could have a good cooking skill in their team. If they were lucky and brought a chef, the marching food might be able to make a lot of money.

What should the big guys who don’t have a chef to accompany the team? It’s probably just that rice, flour, wheat, beans are washed and put into the pot. Then everyone shows their magical powers. Those who can get wild vegetables and radishes can also cut them into the pot. Those who can steam two salted fish are even more luxurious. There are cheerful laughter under the city. After all, you can eat a full meal when fighting. Not long after the spring plowing ends, the wheat has not yet been harvested, and everyone can’t have enough food at home.

Koheita immediately sent envoys and Changzuo to inquire about the news from all over the world, contacted Takata Shencheng, and Heiro, who urged Ejiri, to try to buy the food on the market and send it to the front line continuously.

Soon, the envoy sent by Tsunara's uncle also arrived at Nimata. According to Koheita's plan, 600 of them suddenly appeared at the Takatoshi Temple. The Ogasawara clan was brave and closed the city to defend, but the number was too small, and there were only more than fifty people left in the city. Tsunara's uncle beat Toshinomaru and Iwase Motomaru, but in just one hour, Nimaru lost the first place. Once the castle was broken, the Yamauchi army was as if it had entered a no-man, and it was attacked in the Imperial Hall in one breath. Before Ogasawara clan was separatist, she was captured alive. Now she was sent to Koheita and dealt with by Koheita.

The steadfast Tsunara's uncle was temporarily defending the castle. Iwase Motomasa took his men and immediately went to Oikawa to control the bridges and ships on the river, ensuring that no one on the Torii side could run out.

Xiaoheita was completely relieved now. Torii was stable, and there was only one Kagawa Castle left, and one Kagawa Castle without Akihita.

Leaving people to set up troops to continue transporting military rations, Xiaopingtai drove the army to continue to advance.

At this time, Xiaopingta suddenly felt that there was a shortage of people. It was not that there were not enough soldiers, but that there was a lack of people who could advise on the planning. The only retainer, Ping Liu, was able to write and calculate, which was a good calculation, but he knew nothing about military strategy.

Needless to say, Aji is still from Xiaoping Tai. Chen San has a very high cultural cultivation and can write poetry and sing, knows two foreign languages, and cannons. However, the marching and formation, the battle strategy and painting are still in the state of observing Xiaoping Tai.

Most of the samurai warriors in Ejiri are old. Unfortunately, they are not Xiaoheita's retainers or wise men. If they have too deep contact with them, they will be taboos. After all, they are Chinese people.

When Xiaoheita looked left and right, there was only the youngest Yoshihiko Murakami, a 17-year-old samurai warrior. Yamauchi Yoshiji once secretly instructed Xiaoheita that his father had just sacrificed his life for the country, and the only one left in the Murakami family in Yamauchi was left. Let Xiaoheita take good care of him and not send any dangerous tasks. Let him get through a few years of qualifications first, get married and have children. Otherwise, he will also cheat Murakami Yoshihiko, and everyone will think that the Yamauchi family is too dark to do business, and I will kill my son if I die.

"Zuo Ma Yun, come here." Xiaopingta shouted.

Yoshimitsu Murakami, who temporarily acted as a guard general of our team, heard the call and came over quickly.

"What are the instructions for the bullet?" Murakami Yoshihiko also rode on a small wooden bun horse and replied loudly, but he did not get close to Xiaoheita directly, but was behind Xiaoheita a horse head.

"Does your family school command the team to fight in line?" Xiaopingta knew that his team captain was born, and several generations of people were all infantry and queuing up to fight in line.

"Yes, my father has been serving His Highness for 30 years, and has fought for more than 40 years. When war comes, he is the leader of the squad leader in the front line." Murakami Yoshimitsu was very proud of their identity as a samurai in the family tree, and praised his father for his heroic battle.

"Then how do you think foot slight should fight?" Xiaopingta didn't mind seeing how much he learned the kung fu he passed on from his family.

"Of course, hundreds of people are forming a large formation and gathering in a dignified manner." Murakami Yoshimitsu said a very ordinary answer.

"That's all?" Xiaopingta was a little disappointed.

"Of course not. You can see that the geography of Farcity is not a large area of ​​highland. The roads to Kagawa Castle are twists and the mountains are undulating. With such a shape, the slightest people cannot set up a large formation of hundreds of people to attack, and it is more suitable for elite teams to attack in a group."

"But what's the point? You've seen it. The formation of hundreds of people can still face the enemy. If you fight alone, it's just a waste of life."?

"The team cooperation is too much forcing these things." Murakami Yoshihiko is worthy of being a family of infantry for three generations and one hundred years, and she can see it clearly.

What are the Spanish square formations, the Morris square formations, and the Gustav diagonal formations? I’m really sorry, there is no place to be placed when the terrain of Japan comes out of the Kanto Plain.

Japan is not without talented people. Who can't see the power of the spear square formation? It's not that the combat experience of samurai in Japan is not as good as that of the city-states more than two thousand years ago.

Everyone also wanted to develop a tactic that suits the national conditions, but playing the big array in Japan is a desperate attempt. The team cooperated with the team, so they could only fight the battle in such an embarrassing manner.
