Chapter 325: National Master-level Names

In the eleventh year of Yonglu, December.

Yuezhong Muzhou City.

Although the winter in Vietnam is not as cold as Hida, it is also cold in the earth and cold in the sky.

The cold wind was blowing heavy snow like feathers, and it was scattered all over the sky.

But the ground is already covered with frost, and if you step on it, the snow can cover your calves.

In a blizzard, Li Xiao led a snake's tail and Qiben's two major reserve teams surrounded Muzhou City.

In the military tent, a pot of ignited coals slightly dispelled the coldness of winter.

Li Xiao stood in the military tent with his hands under his shoulder, wearing a thick coat, staring at the wooden boat city in the snow.

Such weather is a very severe challenge for the Takeda army on the siege party.

In the military account, Masuda Changsheng was reporting to Li Xiaozhen: “Master, the charcoal in the army is obviously not enough for heating at the moment. Even if we continue to send people to nearby to cut down, but in terms of current usage, we The speed of felling is far less than the amount consumed."

"If this continues, our army can only reduce the amount of charcoal fire used at night, then it is very likely that frostbite and death will occur."

Masuda’s words have just been finished, and Shioka Kazuha on the other side also said: "In addition to the lord, our army’s rations are also insufficient. Moreover, the expedition to Vietnam has lasted for nearly half a year. The soldiers are exhausted. I don't want to plan to attack the city anymore."

"Are you trying to retreat?" Li Xiao frowned and asked instead.

Facing Li Xiaozhi's questioning, all the generals bowed their heads and remained silent.

Right now, Li Xiao is holding power and he has made great achievements, so apart from a few of his retainers, he rarely dared to question his decision.

Everyone looked around and looked around. At the moment, Shima Katsumou, Bendo Masabe, and Tibetan Chang'an were all absent, and the only one who could survive the scene was Koichiro Kinoshita.

Since Shima Katsutake was taken by the official Mino, Koichiro Kinoshita has now become Li Xiao's direct servants, the chief general, and he has also changed his name, calling his name Hidenaga Kinoshita.

Hiden Kinoshita has been under Li Xiao's command for nearly seven years, and his years of expeditions have made him more mature and stable.

Among Li Xiao’s servants, if it talks about aggression like fire, attacking the city, of course, it is the first to win the island, but if it is said, who is more assured, can entrust the queen, who is not the responsibility of the back .

Moreover, Hidenaga Kinoshita has always been honest and honest, so he is very trustworthy.

Especially in this Raiders of Yuezhong, his personal strength has been recognized by the courtiers.

Faced with the expectations of the retainers, Hidenaga Kinoshita thought for a while, and he said: "I agree with the lord's proposal to continue the siege."

The words of Hidenaga Kinoshita immediately drew everyone's surprise. The snake tail under his command was also one of the besieged troops. As a leader, he naturally understood the hardship, but he supported the continued siege.

Li Xiao listened to Kinoshita Hidenaga's words, and he was relieved. If all his retainers opposed the proposal to besieged the city, even if he persisted, it would be somewhat difficult to handle.

"Master Kinoshita, why do you insist on continuing the siege?" Fujitang Gaohu asked puzzledly.

Kinoshita long said: "Of course it is for the lord's great cause, so no matter how hard you work, you must continue to support it."

Seeing that Hideo Kinoshita can think about the overall situation for himself, Li Xiao nodded and said: "Everyone, we have completed the entire suppression of the Yuezhong Women's County. In Sheshui County, except for the present Except for Muzhou City Ishiguro Tsunacheng's unwillingness to surrender, the rest of the forces have already surrendered."

Speaking of this, Li Xiao fingered the Yuezhong map and said: "Everyone, in the middle of last month, my armies split up and attacked. At the moment, Xiaoxian Xiaoxian's Kamokabei and Uchijima clan have a thousand forces and are forced to surrender. After Asai Castle and Akamaru Castle, the more powerful five hundred troops attacked Imishidong Castle, Baba Changbo, and Terashima Prefecture. One thousand troops attacked Genji Mine Castle and Anrakuji Castle."

Everyone walked to the map and looked at what Li Xiao was pointing at.

The lord of Asai Castle is Nakayama Kunimatsu, and the lord of Akamaru Castle is his brother Nakayama Jiro Biebe. The two have participated in the fire palace battle against Li Xiao, but the loss was small.

Later, under Xiaoken Oba, Uchijima's army led a fierce attack, and finally surrendered.

From an overall perspective, Asai Castle and Akamaru Castle are important passes of the old Hokuriku Sangen Road, guarding the access roads of Etchuk Kaga.

Li Xiao ordered Xiaoxian Oba and the Uchijima clan to bypass Muzhou City and not attack, but to seize the two cities first, blocking the gate to prevent Kaga Yixiangzong's forces from interfering in the affairs of Vietnam.

Today, Shidong City is the border of Noto and Viet Nam, and Li Xiao made Shui Yu Sheng to attack this city, which is also a step ahead of Noto's forces and refused to go outside the door of Yuezhong.

As for Genji's Peak Castle and Anle Temple City, it is adjacent to Kiligaro Mountain.

Among them, Maitreya Mountain where Anrakuji City is located, during the Battle of Kirigaro, Kiso Yoshinaka's Hime Samurai Ba Gozen led a thousand riders in this formation.

Genji Mine Castle, the second city of Anrakuji Castle, is also another important street from Kaga to Etchung, and an important checkpoint in Hokuriku Road Branch Dowaki Street.

After Li Xiao occupies these five cities, he has taken the entire Yuezhong Sheshui County in his palm.

But despite this, Li Xiao did not really control Sheshui County completely.

As the key point of Sheshui County, as long as Muzhou City is not taken in one day, for Li Xiao, it is like a thorn in the throat, and it is impossible to truly unify Sheshui County in a sense.

As for Li Xiao, after completing the suppression of the women's counties and the two counties of Sheshui County, he has already collected two counties from the four counties of Yuezhong and completed Takeda Shingen's strategy to give himself a country in Vietnam, half of the set goal.

The height of the stone under the leadership of the Hida Yuezhong Legion exceeded 200,000 shi.

The base of the Takeda family, the stone height of Kai is only 225,000 stones.

From Shigao's point of view, Li Xiao has reached the strength of a country's guardian of a great name.

This means that Li Xiao's power will formally rise from the 100,000-level name to the ranks of the leader-level name.

After completing the wives and occupying the two counties of Sheshui, for Li Xiao, apart from the lack of a guardian name, he can almost be on the same level as the master of the country.

Under this situation, Li Xiao also has the confidence to reluctantly fight Uesugi Kenshin, otherwise he can only hit the stone with a pebble.

But before facing Uesugi Kenshin's Yuezhong Crusaders, Li Xiao would never allow such variables to exist in the rear Muzhou City.

Otherwise, when Li Xiao faced Uesugi Kenshin in the backyard, the result would be ten times more serious than the prolonged chaos in Uesugi's Honjo.

Therefore, even though it is not conducive to siege the city in winter, Li Xiao also has to die under the wooden boat city.

After Li Xiao and the generals explained, everyone understood the reason why Li Xiao wanted to conquer Muzhou City.

Seeing that Li Xiao could not be persuaded, the retainers had to find another way to support the long siege of Muzhou City.

Li Xiao said to Zengtian Changsheng: "If you want to increase the charcoal fire, you can continue to send more people to cut charcoal in the mountains and forests, and you can also use military funds to buy from nearby villagers."

"If it's not enough, let the entire army decrease. Both the top and the bottom, including me, will reduce the use of charcoal fire."

"As for the military rations, you will do your best. No matter how much money you spend, you must complete the purchase from the people. I will ask Qiuzhen Yanya for help. , Let him help solve the problem of charcoal and military rations."

Seeing that Li Xiao was doing things one by one, all the retainers immediately had the confidence to continue the siege in Muzhou City.

Then the retainers began to discuss the continued siege of Muzhou City.

Siege of the city in winter is already very difficult. In this era, frostbite is almost the same as losing half of his life.

Therefore, Li Xiao could only adopt a long-term siege.

And Ishiguro Chengzun was also very stubborn, as if he was going to fight the Takeda army to the end, and even beheaded the envoy Li Xiao sent to persuade him to surrender.

Li Xiaowen was furious and gave up his plan to persuade him to surrender. He decided to kill a hundred people and conquer this city, by the way, to deter the Yuezhong tycoons.

Li Xiao also discovered through the ninja that the food stock in the city was not large, so he decided to continue to work with Ishiguro in this way.

This result can only see who is consumed by the other party first.

Just when Li Xiao was discussing the siege of the city.

An envoy Fanji rushed into the city and said loudly: "Master, this is the urgent letter of Lord Gokan."

Li Xiao was slightly surprised when he heard the words, and wondered if Takeda Shingen gave him any more instructions on how to guide him.

Li Xiao wrote a letter and saw that although the incident was somewhat unexpected, he was still taken aback. The original letter said Takeda Shingen said that the Takeda family had officially sent their troops to Suruga and began to attack the Imagawa family.

On December 6, Takeda Shingen, 25,000 soldiers from Ueno, Shinano, and Kai to the west, entered Suruga and attacked Imagawa's family.

But when he heard that the Takeda family mobilized the country and attacked with all their strength, Imakawa was really furious. While asking for help from the Hojo family, he mobilized the army to fight.

Although the Imagawa clan was already in decline at this time, it was still a gathering of the powerful army of the eighteen people of Imagawa to fight.

The head of the Imagawa family, the Imagawa clan, ordered the general Anhara Tadayin to lead the Imagawa army to attack.

On December 12th ~lightnovelpub.net~ Anhara Tadayin led a 15,000 army on the Hachiman Plain of Sakai Mountain to fight the Takeda Army.

However, Imagawa clan led the rest of the army to deploy at Kiyomi Temple.

This battle of tens of thousands of people is unprecedented in scale and unprecedented in the East.

However, despite the huge investment of the two parties, the battle of Saque Mountain is like a big production, a blockbuster with heavy investment, but finally the effect of a super big bad film was shot.

The classic duel that everyone was looking forward to, a general battle, turned into a farce in the end.

Before the war began, Shingen Takeda turned against twenty-one people including the powerful vassals of the Imagawa family, such as Nobuhiro Raina, Masada Asahina, Yoshikazu Miura, and Moto Katsuyama.

After the Takeda Army attacked the Imagawa Army for a while, these rumors that the Imagawa family should take the opportunity to flee halfway, set fire to rumors, and rumors.

Rumors such as Sunfu Castle has been breached have spread all over Kiyomiji Temple, the Honjin of Imagawa Army.

As a result, the Imagawa Army collapsed across the board. ..
