Chapter 1206 Shangluo (2)
"We cannot let the troops from the Central Plains go to Luo, otherwise we will lose face."
"Ishiyama Imperial Palace is the southern stronghold of Kyoto, and this city must be defended."
"I heard that the Xia army that attacked Shishan Imperial Palace only numbered tens of thousands."
A group of Japanese players gathered at Shishan Imperial Palace, trying to prevent the crown prince of the Central Plains from going to Luo.
Chu Wu planned to go to Luo as the prince of the Central Plains, which undoubtedly stung the pride of Japanese players.
Once Kyoto falls, it will be equivalent to the apparent demise of Japanese civilization, which is unacceptable to the players of the Japanese war faction.
The ministers and daimyo spent money to call on strangers, warriors, ronin, and common people to come to Shishan Imperial Palace to resist Chu Wu in Shangluo.
The number of Japanese troops at Ishiyama Imperial Palace gradually increased from 100,000 to 200,000 to 300,000. Many samurai and daimyo who stayed in Kyoto also led troops to support Ishiyama Imperial Palace.
At the Ishiyama Imperial Palace, the commander-in-chief Mitsuhide Akechi looked at the Xia army camped outside the city with a gloomy expression.
Xia's army was divided into two groups, one directly attacked Honshu Island from Kyushu Island. The main general was Bai Qi, who was the main force in the crusade against Japan. He was fighting in the Maori family's territory. They also attacked Shikoku Island all the way, and then marched from Shikoku Island to Kyoto and directly attacked Oriji. Tian Nobunaga's territory.
Akechi Mitsuhide was not sure of stopping the crown prince of the Great Xia Dynasty.
As the general who conquered Shikoku Island, Chu Wu had already gained a certain reputation and became the new overlord of Shikoku Island. He was called "the young dragon of the heaven", "the son of the people in the world" and "the second in the world" by the Japanese.
As a general under Oda Nobunaga, Akechi Mitsuhide couldn't help but feel nervous when he heard about Chuwu's background.
With 40,000 people, Chuwu wiped out all the daimyo in Shikoku Island in just one month. The daimyo Chosou Gabu Motochin who dominated Shikoku Island was incorporated into the servant army and was forced to serve the Xia army. All the daimyo They either die or surrender, lose their fortune, and are forced to sell their lives.
Chuwu's reputation has surpassed Akechi Mitsuhide.
When the Xia army arrived at the Shishan Imperial Palace, they suddenly camped outside the city and built siege equipment. They were not in a hurry to attack the city. This made Mitsuhide Akechi very puzzled.
The number of Japanese troops was increasing, but the number of Xia troops was almost stable. It seemed that the Japanese army was gaining more and more advantages, and even the defenders of Kyoto came to Ishiyama Imperial Palace.
Players, officials, warriors, and civilians throughout Japan all focused their attention on Chu Wu, a partial army.
Oda Nobunaga, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Mouri Terumoto and other great names, as well as the Prince of Orange of the Netherlands, confronted Bai Qi in An Yun Kingdom. They simply did not dare to send the main force back to stop Chuwu, so they could only rely on the troops originally stationed in Shishan. Mitsuhide Akechi of the Imperial Palace and reinforcements arriving from Kyoto and Kii Peninsula stopped Chuwu.
"Why doesn't Kuki Yoshitaka, the commander of the Kii Kingdom Navy, send troops to prevent the Xia army from landing?"
Akechi Mitsuhide couldn't help but feel angry when he thought that the Japanese navy allowed the Chuwu Corps to land at Watanabetsu.
Kuki Yoshitaka, a pirate family in the Kii Kingdom, is also one of the few "pirate daimyo" in the Japanese Warring States Period. He works for Oda Nobunaga, commands the navy of the Kii Peninsula, and has a special unit of "ironclad ships".
However, Kuki Yoshitaka did not dare to fight the powerful Fubo Army head-on, and watched helplessly as the Fubo Army's ships ran rampant in Osaka Bay.
"Sir, the Kuki clan has sent a message!"
When Akechi Mitsuhide complained,
Kuki Yoshitaka finally contacted Akechi Mitsuhide.
Akechi Mitsuhide and Kuki Yoshitaka were both important retainers of Oda Nobunaga. Akechi Mitsuhide had talent, but historically he betrayed Oda Nobunaga and launched the "Honnoji Incident", killing Oda Nobunaga. Later, he was killed by Shibaha. Hideyoshi defeated.
The Xia army attacked the four Japanese islands, and Oda Nobunaga had to re-enable Mitsuhide Akechi.
Kuki Yoshitaka is Oda Nobunaga's royal navy general.
Akechi Mitsuhide received a letter from Kuki Yoshitaka, which described Kuki Yoshitaka's plan: "It turns out that Kuki Yoshitaka wanted to defend the Ishiyama Palace before Kuuki Kanon launched a surprise attack."
The Japanese army was planning to defeat the Chuwu army that was trying to ascend Luo, and Chuwu was also preparing siege equipment.
Weapons such as trebuchets and crossbows are ready.
"The reinforcements from Kyoto have almost arrived at the Ishiyama Imperial Palace. They can be destroyed in one battle and march to Kyoto."
Chu Wu saw that the Japanese army had assembled and all his siege equipment had been built, so he decided to launch a joint battle at the Ishiyama Imperial Palace to suppress the Imperial Palace and use it as a springboard to march into Kyoto.
At this time, Zhuge Liang approached Chu Wu and said, "Your Highness, I'm afraid things have changed."
"Why?"
"I watched the sky last night. The storm is coming, tonight."
"Is there a storm?"
Chu Wu trusted Zhuge Liang very much.
Zhuge Liang was once sent by Chu Tian to learn the SSS-level characteristic "Qi Men Dun Jia" from Mr. Shui Jing in Xiangyang, and abducted Huang Yueying by the way.
"Qi Men Dun Jia" is a metaphysical characteristic on the same level as "Child of the Plane" in "Lord".
Through "Qi Men Dun Jia", Zhuge Liang is very sensitive to changes in weather. This is one of the functions of "Qi Men Dun Jia".
Therefore, Zhuge Liang's guess about the changes in weather and time is more than 90% correct.
If Zhuge Liang's prediction is correct, then the storm is coming and will affect the battle at Shishan Imperial Palace.
Zhuge Liang said to Lu Meng: "General's navy must be careful."
"I will send more troops to patrol."
Lu Meng knew that heavy rain would obscure his vision, and marching and fighting were full of uncertainties. Many famous surprise attacks took place on rainy days.
Lu Meng's fleet was stationed at the mouth of Mujin River, and he sent general Zhu Ran (command 81, force 69, famous city defender and navy general) to strengthen patrols.
In addition, Chu Wu occupied nearby villages and set up tents to prevent bows and arrows from getting wet by the rain. He waited for the heavy rain to end before storming the Shishan Imperial Palace.
Sure enough, just as Zhuge Liang predicted, the sky gradually became cloudy and dark, and heavy rain fell!
Because of Zhuge Liang's prediction of "Qi Men Dun Jia", Chu Wu could easily avoid the heavy rain.
"Winter is approaching, the rain is freezing, and the morale of the soldiers has dropped."
Chu Wu could see that the morale of the army dropped by 5 points due to the heavy rain.
Changes in the weather sometimes affect the morale of the legion.
If there is no advance preparation, perhaps the morale drop will be even greater.
In addition, the cold winter will also affect the status of the legion.
That's why Chu Wu was anxious to go to Luo and capture Kyoto as soon as possible to undermine the confidence of the daimyo.
Chu Wu occupied a farmhouse, with charcoal in the brazier and Lu Lingqi rubbing his shoulders, which was not too hard.
Tachibana Chiyo held the tachi "Raikiri" in her arms and sat by the brazier to warm herself up.
At the mouth of the Kizu River, strong winds roared, waves hit the warships, and many warships scattered.
"Japan has so many divine winds, it's really a bad place."
The young general Zhu Ran became Lu Meng's subordinate and patrolled the sea in heavy rain.
The Japanese kamikaze rages across the Seto Inland Sea, causing sudden heavy rains.
The pirate daimyo Kuki Yoshitaka, who was loyal to Oda Nobunaga, led his warship to anchor at a nearby island, not far from Zhu Ran's patrol ship.
Kuuki Yoshitaka summoned the family generals and pirate leaders from the Kii Peninsula: "When the divine wind weakens, launch a surprise attack on the Xia army navy at night. It is best to kill the enemy navy commander's head and cut off his cavalry." Supplies. If I successfully capture the enemy’s general, I can obtain at least 200,000 stones of territory, and you can also obtain fiefdoms.”
"Let the navy in the Central Plains know how powerful our Kii navy is!"
"Their fleet travels across the Seto Inland Sea and Kii Waterway, and they don't take us seriously. It's time to teach them a lesson."
A group of pirates from the Kii Peninsula prepared thirteen armored ships similar to turtle-shell ships and 800 large and small wooden ships, totaling more than 20,000 people, for a surprise attack on the Lu Meng Corps stationed at the Kizugawaguchi.
When Chu Wu took a temporary break due to heavy rain, Bai Qi, Yue Fei, and Le Yi entered the An Yun Kingdom where the Maori family was entrenched.
The territory of the Mori family was mountainous, making it difficult to advance. Daimyos such as Oda, Tokugawa, and Mori deployed heavy troops on the narrow mountain roads, using Sakurao Castle as a stronghold to defend it to the death.
The military strength of An Yun State is no longer just that of a county. The main force of the entire Japan and the reinforcements of the Maritime Alliance are gathered in An Yun State, which exceeds the strength of a state.
Bai Qi's army was stationed at Orashiki Hatayama in the west of Sakurao Castle, facing off against the main force of the Maritime Alliance.
In order to open up the situation, Bai Qi sent a force to attack Gongwei City on Yan Island in Anyun Kingdom, and annexed the territory of Anyun Kingdom by sea.
Leading the attack on Itsudao were generals such as Zhou Yu, Lu Xun, and Zheng Zhilong of the Fubo Army.
When the Xia army landed on Itsudao and approached Gongwei Castle, heavy rain suddenly fell.
Without Zhuge Liang's "Qi Men Dun Jia", Zhou Yu, Zheng Zhilong and others would not be able to predict the weather in advance.
"What a bad luck!"
Zheng Zhilong, who had a somewhat irritable temperament, couldn't help but complain when he got wet.
In heavy rain, a Japanese fleet sailed from the waters near Sakurao Castle to Itsukushima.
Two generals from the Mori family, Yoshikawa Motoharu and Kobayakawa Takakage, and the regiment commander Shibaba Hideyoshi sent by Oda Nobunaga, led the army to sneak across the sea in the rain.
Yoshikawa Motoharu, Kobayakawa Takakage, and Shibaha Hideyoshi combined the power of three regiment commanders.
The pirates from the Seto Inland Sea who helped Yoshikawa Motoharu and Kobayakawa Takakage transport troops to Itsukushima were led by Takeyoshi Murakami, the navy leader of Noshima.
Shibaha Hideyoshi and military advisor Kuroda Kanbei, as well as Shibaha Hideyoshi's seven retainers, the "Seven Guns of the Saigake", set off for the expedition.
Historically, Shibaha Hideyoshi, who launched the Korean War with Wanli, and two generals from the Mori family were responsible for defeating the Xia army attacking Itsukushima: "Heavy rain obscures the view, and with a hundred thousand troops sneaking across Itsukushima, we can definitely annihilate the Xia army."
