"Well, it's good, it's really gratifying that the house can abandon the darkness and turn to the light. The pen %fun %Cabinet www.biquge.info main tax assistant (Iwanari DFI) also has merit and needs to be commended. ”

In the Imperial Pavilion in the main castle of Awaji Kunishu, Hiteshu faces a sad Antaku Nobuyasu and a terrified Iwanari Yutong, acting calmly and calmly, as if he is confident about the current situation.

Seeing the well-deserved "style of a general" on this highness, Nobuyasu Ataka breathed a sigh of relief and showed a calm attitude, while Iwasari Yutong still trembled and did not dare to ignore it.

Fan Xiu can see that Iwasari Youtong's posture is not really worried about being punished, but for his colleagues who don't trust him. But he didn't say anything, after all, this is an initiative to maintain unity, and it is not beautiful to say it.

As a "retribution" to conquer the Miyoshi forces, he came to Awaji Island two days after the vanguard landed, with a total of 5,000 troops from his headquarters and Saga mercenaries, and used all the idle ships, but it still took three trips to complete the transportation.

Now on the narrow island of Awaji, there are more than 7,000 infantry under the command of Hira, more than 3,000 sailors, 280 warships, and eight newly arrived second-hand Portuguese warships.

Then on the side of the Ataku family, the direct troops plus the six wealthy families who were willing to cooperate, totaled more than 2,000 soldiers who could fight, and one hundred and fifty warships, including more than ten large Ataku ships.

The enemy, led by Funakoshi Keinao and Suga Tatsunaga, gathered an estimated strength of between 3,000 and 4,000 troops, and the number of warships was estimated at about 250, and they were fortified in 12 fortresses, most of which were within 30 towns (3 km) of the coastline, but a few went deep into the interior.

As early as before the report, Iwanari Yutong made a quick decision and personally led people to march around the enemy city to garrison and monitor, which played a deterrent role.

However, there is no way on the waterway, his own ships have to be divided into a part for transportation, and the port cannot be completely blocked, within two days, according to the nine ghosts Yoshitaka, he watched many clippers carrying more than ten or twenty people sail into Awaji Island one by one, and it is estimated that the defenders on the island have received at least four or five hundred aids.

The army is more than twice as powerful as the opponent, but the enemy hides behind the city walls and has a geographical advantage. And the Miyoshi family of Shikoku will apparently react immediately.

Although the demeanor of the flat hand is still very calm, the other people have grim faces. Seeing this, Fanxiu did not arrange greetings, so he held a military meeting in the state and city.

With an order, Hidecho Kinoshita and Yukinaga Konishi, who had just joined the Hirate family, walked into the palace one after the other, the former unfolding a huge cloth map from his bosom and placing it on the floor, and the latter carrying two piles of black and white chess pieces of Go to use as counters.

"The defenders of Shichi Castle should be between five hundred and nine hundred, according to visual measurements, and the city was built with water walls, earthen walls, stone walls, and many arrows; There is definite information about Zhuangtian City, 830 people, the city is relatively simple, it is a mud and wood structure, but there are 200 iron cannons; According to the villagers, there are about 700 of them, and their defenders are the Tamura family, who are the best at foot warfare on the island; Kurihara Castle's garrison is unknown, but it won't exceed three hundred ......."

According to the information that has been summarized, Kinoshita Hidecho and Konishi Yukinaga will pile up the corresponding number of black chess pieces to the designated position on the map, each chess piece represents 100 people, and the median value of the deviation is larger, and the guessed number is placed completely unknown, but the chess pieces are placed upside down to indicate the difference.

After completing this, the two men approached the crowd and used white chess pieces to depict the layout of their own troops.

"It's really worthy of a tie, and the military law is wonderful." Nobuyasu Ataka was amazed, as if it was the first time he had seen something like this, showing obvious but limited surprise.

Fan Xiu didn't think so, he hoped to make a sand table, but the requirements for geographic detection capabilities were a bit too high, and it was not realistic for the time being.

After the chess pieces were placed, Hisho took a cup of tea from the attendant beside him, took two sips, waved his hand very casually, and said, "It seems that the process of pacifying Awaji is inevitable to fight." If you have any ideas, you can speak freely and express your opinions. ”

As soon as these words landed, Sasa Chengzheng next to him couldn't hold it back, stretched out his finger and made a circle on the map, saying: "The enemy's scattered forces in twelve cities shows that they are very hasty and unprepared. Today, the contemptible people have paid attention to the castle building habits of Awaji Province on the way, and the defense is not very tight. There is a lot of wood on the island, which is taken from fire or made into equipment, and those small cities of two or three hundred people are not difficult to break. After the small cities are destroyed, they will take advantage of the victory and attack the remaining three larger strongholds. ”

After finishing speaking, without waiting for others to react, he added after a moment: "Thanks to the main tax hall (Iwanari Yutong) for dealing with it properly, sending people to monitor it, and cutting off the connection between the twelve cities. Now even if the enemy wants to figure out that it is time to concentrate his forces, it will be too late. ”

These remarks show that Sasa Naruma and Iwanari Youtong have the same military thinking, and the two looked at each other for a short time, giving birth to a little sympathy.

A few people were slow to respond, and only after listening to the analysis did they know Iwanari DFI's intentions.

From a military point of view, what Sasa Narumasa said seems to be reasonable. But this raises concerns in other quarters.

The Nine Ghosts Jialong, who has always been cautious, asked: "According to Sasadian's words, I don't know how many days it will take to pacify the entire island of Awaji?" ”

Sasa Narimasa saluted the superior Hirate Honhide, and then said without thinking: "If the Heise Prison Hall appoints the army to the last general, it is guaranteed to capture nine of the twelve enemy cities within half a month." and the remaining three cities, twenty or thirty days at most. ”

Nine Ghost Jialong hesitated for a moment, and cautiously questioned: "The martial arts of the Zuo Zuo Hall are naturally admirable, and I am convinced that you can capture the fortress as scheduled." But in this way, it will take a month and a half in total to smooth the road, but the reinforcements of the Shikoku and Miyoshi families may not give us that much time. ”

Nobuyasu Ataka interjected: "Shinohara's Nagabo has already issued a convening order, but the response of the wealthy families of the four countries is not very positive, and the progress is slow. If he had attacked with thousands of elite soldiers, he would have arrived in two or three days at most. But if he is ready to assemble a large army, I am afraid that he will not be able to make it without ten days and a half months. ”

His speech made Tieshou Fan Xiu slightly surprised.

This surprise is not about the content of the words, but about the attitude.

Because there was a problem with the pre-designed routine, as soon as Fan Xiu landed on the island, he had to deal with the military discussion, and he didn't have time to make arrangements for the treatment of Ataku Nobuyasu. The guy didn't seem to be in a hurry, and even began to contribute to the war without any psychological burden.

Those chicken soup advertorials that I wrote before have already broken down his mental defense, so that Antaku Nobuyasu has always regarded Hitaku Hoshu as a mentor and friend-like existence, and when he sees a real person today, he naturally changes his position subconsciously.

Naturally, Fan Xiu couldn't figure this out. He can only understand that this person is either a showy hero like Matsunaga, or a stunned young man who doesn't understand the world very well.

Looking at this posture, it seems that the latter is more likely......

Listening to Anzhai Shinyasu's addition, the Nine Ghosts Jialong became more and more reasonable: "In terms of half a month, according to what Sazuodian said, half a month can only defeat nine small cities, and three larger cities cannot be captured. At that time, when the army of Shinohara's Nagabo arrives, won't there be a belly to suffer from the enemy? ”

Sasa Narumasa said nonchalantly: "Shinohara's Nagafang can't fly across the strait. You can send a navy to block the sea area so that it cannot land. It only takes 60 days to capture the entire island of Awaji. ”

When the words landed, Nine Ghost Jialong's face sank, and he didn't reply anymore, only looking helplessly at Pingshou Fanxiu.

Honxiu could understand his thoughts.

Although the Nine Ghost Water Army got certain opportunities for expansion and development after taking refuge in Oda, its foundation was still a little weak. In addition to relying on the Awaji naval army, Miyoshi also had some warships left in Awazanuki and had to fight head-on with them if he wanted to hold the sea route for 60 days.

The combat strength of the naval army collected by the Tieshou Fan Xiu from the Hequan Hao clan is weak, and it is better than nothing. Eight new Portuguese battleships, purchased by himself, have not yet been verified. If you really want to fight, you can only rely on the men of the nine ghosts. This will also create a situation in which the navy will shed blood and the army will make meritorious contributions.

It may have been worth it from a military point of view to sacrifice the motley navy in exchange for time to pacify Awaji Island, but the other side was not a retainer of a tie, but reinforcements sent by Nobunaga. If this arrangement is really made, it will offend people too badly, and it will also be a harm to one's own political resources.

Besides, what if the nine ghosts don't obey the order, but go back to sue with the attitude of a dead fish?

At the end of the seat, the faces of the two of them were also a little bitter, but they were much better. Because they are honestly taking refuge in the door of the tie, they have always upheld the attitude of loyal dogs, and they are their own people. In case there are too many battle losses, the duel Tsunosu, as a sane lord, will definitely compensate for it. Otherwise, who will be willing to die for him in the future?

This is also the reason why the Hattori brothers are still valued for their mediocrity.

Sasa Chengzheng inadvertently attracted a lot of hatred, but Fan Xiu has known him since he was a child, and he knows that this person is definitely out of public heart.

Antaku Nobuyasu hadn't figured out the situation yet, and he wondered: "Could it be that you have forgotten that over there is already an internal existence in the Shinohara's long house?" Even if he lets his army into the island, he doesn't have to worry about it. ”

The corners of the Nine Ghosts Jialong's mouth twitched twice, and he replied as implicitly as possible: "Lord Ataku is a little too optimistic. Since there have been unforeseen changes in Funakoshi Keinao, the follow-up so-called internal response should not be met with too high expectations. ”

Dr. Yasuda Terada, who had nothing to do with the matter, was also able to attend the military meeting. He didn't care about the survival of the navy, but his eyes flashed with eagerness, and he looked like he couldn't wait to fight.

The vanguard will definitely not be able to compete with Sasa Chengzheng, but as a representative of the people of Izumi Province and an important member of the tie power system, the secondary striker can still try it.

Iwanari Youtong pondered for a long time, and expressed his attitude euphemistically: "The tactics proposed by Sazuodian do have some flaws, and it would be better if we could find a perfect strategy." ”

The implication is that if you can't find another strategy, it is better to use the current one.

When there was a lot of discussion, it was not without mavericks, such as Keiji's house, who was still distracted, and his head collapsed weakly, as if he was about to fall asleep......

"Ahem!" Seeing that the discussion was almost over, Tieshou began to summarize. He first coughed heavily, glared at the deserted guy, and then said loudly and solemnly: "With this method, even if Awaji is captured, those wealthy families will think that their family is just opportunistic, and they may not be convinced." From tomorrow onwards, only the outermost layer of encirclement will be maintained, the partition of the enemy's twelve cities will be removed, and they will be allowed to communicate with each other on their own, and then the time will be appointed for a decisive battle. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone, including Qingci, was shocked and speechless, staring at Fan Xiu together, as if they had seen some supernatural event.

Even Antaku Nobuyasu, who was thought to be stunned by Fanxiu, felt that this was too unreliable.

If you remove the partition and let the families converge, will the enemy take the initiative to go out of the city to fight? It will surely converge and gather into the three strongest cities, and they will be horns for each other.

Isn't the difficulty of the assault increased again?

Only Iwanari Yutong had an extra heart, and he saw Kawada Nagakin, a close confidant of Hisho Tsuhide, sitting at the bottom with a normal expression, and although he didn't know the reason in his heart, he also settled down.
