The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire - Chapter 391

[Chapter 386 Prelude to the Battle]

? The bugle blew slowly, and the dull drum sound was also beating in the clouds.

With this rhythmic sound that seemed to follow a certain pattern, the soldiers in the dojo barracks came out of the camp one after another, and slowly gathered under the command of their respective samurai, forming a large army in a row. , slowly out of the barracks.

After such a set of actions, all the soldiers are extremely natural and disciplined, and there is very little panic.

This scene could not help but be seen for miles, and Murakami Yoshiki and others who were observing the barracks couldn’t help but gasp for a few breaths.

Hiss…

“These soldiers are so strict, and there is not the slightest confusion between their actions, as if they were carved into the bones and deep into the marrow.”

Yoshikiyoshi Murakami couldn’t help but secretly admired his fear.

It is precisely because I understand how difficult it is to do these things that I am even more shocked, and I am even more shocked by the strength of the dojo.

The army that can do this step is not without Murakami Yoshiki’s subordinates.

However, in order to train these troops, Murakami Yiqing spent countless materials, almost emptying out 30% of the income of the Murakami family’s entire territory, and barely trained an army of about 1,000 people.

You must know that he is the most powerful family in the entire Shinano Kingdom, occupying nearly 1/6 of the territory of the Shinano Kingdom, but he can only achieve this level.

Now seeing the tens of thousands of troops on the opposite side, all Wu Yangyang’s movements are unified, as if they are a whole, without the confusion of tens of thousands of people.

How expensive should it be to train such an army.

In this regard, Yoshikiyoshi Murakami could not help but feel deeply frightened by the financial resources of the dojo.

In fact, in order to train these 200,000 troops, the material consumption of the dojo is also very terrifying, but in half a year, more than half of the material and food captured from those wealthy clans have been consumed, which is even more terrifying than during the war.

Because when these soldiers joined the barracks, they were all skinny and skinny, their bodies lacked nutrients, and they were in urgent need of replenishing various supplies.

In this case, the belly eating food is like a hole in the sea, and it can’t be filled no matter how much you fill it.

After two or three months of recuperation, each soldier’s face slowly turned ruddy, his body became stronger, and he gradually gained some flesh.

These soldiers, the terrifying appetite slowly recovered, and became the state of ordinary people.

But the consumption of the previous two or three months is equivalent to the consumption of nearly a year.

In order to support these soldiers to recover their physical strength and cultivate a rather strong body, so that they can conquer the world for the dojo army, Zhong Yu gritted his teeth to provide for their consumption.

Fortunately, these efforts are not in vain.

With these unlimited supplies, the strength of these soldiers has increased rapidly under the targeted training prescribed by Zhong Yu, and many of them have reached a level close to the first order.

At least, each of these soldiers can deal with three or four ordinary Ashiya under the allied forces.

Finally, after the army of the dojo left the camp, he slowly pressed down on the foot of Iiyama Castle, and finally stopped about three miles outside the city.

And at the foot of the city wall opposite them, 50,000 coalition soldiers are waiting in battle.

“It really is a mob. As long as I wait for the army to push up, it won’t take long to defeat these weak people.”

Tomita Kazunari looked at the fear on the faces of many of the coalition soldiers on the opposite side, and most of them With a pair of faces showing dishes, it looks like he can’t get enough to eat, and he can’t help but be extremely disdainful.

Yesterday, I didn’t want to waste a lot of time in order to conquer the Shinano country as soon as possible, and I wanted to take the lead in this country in front of the other armies.

He couldn’t help but force the soldiers under his command to cross the river by force. Although he finally came over, he also lost about 7,000 troops, and his strength was severely damaged.

Under such circumstances, if the opposing coalition cannot be quickly defeated, it may even be maintained in a stalemate.

Tomita Yoshi’s achievements can be affirmed, he will never be able to please him, at least he can’t run away if he kills himself.

The loss was so great that it almost caught up with the casualties of a large-scale battle of 100,000 people, and it was only a river crossing.

Don’t say that Zhong Yu can’t forgive him for such a terrifying loss,

even if it is Tomita Yoshiaki himself, he will not let the commander of that army go.

This can no longer be explained by incompetence. It is a complete failure of the family, and it is even suspected that this commander is a spy sent by the enemy, deliberately tossing the belongings of the dojo like this.

Therefore, in order to keep his honor, ensure his power and position, and maintain his current wealth, Yoshisari Tomita had to launch a large-scale war the next day.

Because he was afraid that the time would drag on for so long that he would pass the news back to the dojo and reach Zhong Yu’s ears.

At that time, as long as you deal with him, no matter how subtle his plan is now, it will be helpless if he can’t implement it.

So now, taking advantage of the second day, when there is such a mourning spirit in the whole army, I will use the army’s well-trained and well-equipped troops to defeat the rabble on the opposite side.

At that time, Iiyama Castle will be captured in one fell swoop, and this important bridgehead to enter the Shinano country will be taken advantage of, and a general trend will be formed by taking advantage of the situation to attack the entire northern Shinano.

Under such circumstances, no matter how many soldiers and horses he lost in order to cross the river before, Zhong Yu was determined not to blame him, but would continue to wait and see, and even reward him.

As for whether the soldiers under his command could defeat the opposing coalition, Tomita Yoshicheng never doubted, nor did the generals under his command.

“It’s time to show your bravery, all the disciples of the dojo, kill me for honor!”

Tomita Yoshicheng gave an order.

After that, the army under his command began to surge like a tide, and rushed towards the same infinitely vast and invisible coalition army on the opposite side.

The blue water seemed to submerge everything, and the strangely dressed coalition forces on the opposite side were like strange rocks.

“In order to protect my homeland, to maintain my own honor, and for the sake of the Shinano country, everyone will kill me.”

Murakami Yoshikii also took a deep breath and suddenly shouted at the soldiers under his command.

Afterwards, the complicated and chaotic coalition forces also pressed forward, not at all afraid of the dojo army in front of them.

A decisive battle broke out, which determined the fate of the entire Shinano country, and even the strategy of whether the dojo could break into the central region, depending on the outcome of this war.

The general trend of the world moves from this, and the situation changes.
