Chapter 64: Katsuyori Takeda and Nobuyasu Tokugawa (8)
As if telepathically, Tokugawa Nobuyasu of Mikawa also wanted to plan a night operation.
But he was seriously dissuaded by Ishikawa Shumasa and Iwa Jinyoshi.
The reason is simple - the morale and training level of Okazaki's current troops are not strong to that ideal level; If they were forced to march all night, a large number of them would inevitably fall behind. There were four or five thousand people when they set out, and only three thousand people were left when they arrived at their destination.
Tokugawa Nobuyasu was also speechless about this, and could only accept the bleak reality with tears in his eyes.
After some discussion and compromise, the top leadership of Okazaki Castle formulated a plan for the mobilization of the third watch and the departure of the fourth watch, hoping to surprise the maximum extent. If it goes well, you can touch the edge of the camp in Changjing, Shanxian County at noon, and then after getting enough results, you can see that you will reap it, turn around quickly, and you can triumph safely that night.
It is definitely not possible to fight for a long time, even if there is a mature plan to deceive and surrender, it is unrealistic.
Everyone just wanted to demoralize the Takeda army and show the strength of the Mikawa Tokugawa family by the way.
Tokugawa Nobuyasu, Ishikawa Shumasa, and the auditor Tsukiyamaden are all very clear about the details of the matter, or rather...... I think it's very clear.
But Hiraiwa Qinyoshi, who was pulled over halfway, was a little confused.
He had been working hard day and night for the defense of the city, and he was always in a panic, and he had a plan to break the jade, but suddenly came to the military council and found that the young lord and important ministers of his family had somehow mastered a lot of things such as the enemy's tokens, passwords, flags, and clothing, and made preparations for a camouflage sneak attack......
It's hard for anyone to react if they change.
Also, for such a big matter, you should at least go to Hamamatsu Castle to report it before acting, and if it is safer, you should even contact the Oda army in Owari and the Hirate reinforcements that are said to have arrived, so that the success rate will be higher.
I don't know where to start.
Then the Tsukiyamaden had a good exchange with him in private, so that Hiraiwa Qinyoshi reluctantly accepted the current plan.
But his expression became very worried, and his heart was heavy.
I don't know what the temple said......
Ishikawa Shumasa was very keenly aware of the abnormality of his colleagues, but with his position, he really didn't have the confidence to stand up and explain - at this point, Ishikawa Shumasa had realized that he had embarked on a very difficult road of no return, and the only way out might really be to get enough chips in the current joint battle, and look forward to taking advantage of the potential post-war reshuffle and washing away the stains on his body.
It would be best if I could find a way to kill the wicked woman in front of me......
The mountain hall is a bamboo in the chest, as stable as Mount Tai. She was just an observant as a mother who cared about her children, but she spoke and behaved like a queen in power, and it seemed that Okazaki Castle was her own property, not her husband and son.
The woman was so proud of her achievements in the field of court intrigue that she thought that the affairs of temples and battlefields were not much more complicated.
Tokugawa Nobuyasu, on the other hand, was really completely unaware of the change in the atmosphere.
The second generation of the young man is excited to fantasize about the future victory and glory, smiling and happy. Of course, in addition to being excited, he did not forget to take the sketch of the formation provided by Takeda Katsuyori, corroborating each other with the information of his own intelligence department, comparing it repeatedly, and did not let go of any suspicious details.
As for the formation of the surprise attack troops, the functional allocation of each detachment, and the plan for dealing with the exceptionally urgent, he also gave full play to his talents to the greatest extent and tried his best to consider them one by one.
If he was not the heir of the Tokugawa family, but only a military officer, he would have been conscientious and dedicated, at least above the passing line by any standard.
Chikuyamaden was indifferent, thinking that the matter was very simple, Ishikawa Shumasa and Iwaki Kiyoshi each had their own hearts, and there were other distractions, so ten hours before the army, it was Tokugawa Nobuyasu singing a one-man show.
The boy made the best arrangement within his understanding, found each of the retainers above the rank of Ashigaru to mobilize and encourage, personally distributed dry food and armaments, and then fell asleep with a fighting spirit and optimism.
What their mother and son didn't expect was-
The samurai of Mikawa, in front of the young master, of course, slapped their chests one by one. As soon as they turned around, more than half of them were confused by the plan to take the initiative to attack the Takeda Army, and they all approached Ishikawa Shumasa or Hiraiwa Jinyoshi to express their worries.
Okazaki's two important ministers were originally uneasy, but it was not easy to help pacify the soldiers below......
In any case, in the early morning of the third day of the sixth month of the fifth year of Motokame (1572), the retainers whose names were named still arrived at the north gate of Okazaki Castle with their swords, swords, horses, and feet in accordance with the prescribed military service burdens, and gathered into an army of several thousand people.
This shows that Tokugawa Ieyasu has been relatively successful in his business for more than ten years, and despite the rebellion of the outwards in the peripheral areas, the retainers and people living in the city still maintain a certain cohesion.
Even in his own absence, his son still spoke to count.
Following his father's example, Tokugawa Nobuyasu enthusiastically dealt with everyone he knew, making friends, reminiscing about the past, looking forward to the future, and drawing pies that were both unrealistic and not completely hopeless......
I didn't realize that most people don't have the heart to listen to this now.
The greetings took only a quarter of an hour, and Tokugawa Nobuyasu personally selected a team of nearly 2,000 people to go out as the vanguard, and the most elite part of them deliberately added the costume of the Takeda Army on the outside. The rest were handed over to Ishikawa Shumasa and Iwa Jinyoshi, respectively, with the former following as a secondary striker, and the latter guarding the flanks on the side.
They are all natives of Sanhe, so they can't know more about the geography, and with a simple exchange, they can be sure that they know each other's routes and response plans.
Although he had some doubts in his heart, the temperament of the "samurai in the countryside of the eastern country" was relatively rough, and once he was in battle, led by Tokugawa Nobuyasu, the following thousands of people were all in high spirits and murderous.
Let's not talk about whether it can be successfully sneak attacked, at least the momentum is very sufficient.
It's just a little noisy.
These "amateur" soldiers, divided into townships and organized into gangs, have always been united by clan rather than military discipline, and can be described as free and loose, and while marching they inevitably have to talk loudly, as if they were working in the fields, and talk about trivial things.
Due to the complex roots of the Mikawa retainers and the intertwined entanglement of interests, Tokugawa Ieyasu had given up his plan to purge internally, and instead established a new system based in Hamamatsu Castle in Ene Province.
Tokugawa Nobuyasu had no awareness of this reform at all.
Therefore, not long after they went out, they bumped into the Takeda Army patrol that followed the movement of smoke and dust.
Faster than you think.
It was a cavalry squad of about ten people, dressed in light simple armor, and more people holding flags, horns, and other symbols than holding weapons, and obviously not preparing for battle.
The leader is a man and a horse with a lot of ornaments, and he looks like a high-ranking samurai.
Of course, the Okazaki army can easily shoot these people, but it is difficult to catch them all, and it is inevitable that they will leave their tracks alive. It must be known that the military formation of Changjing, Shanxian County is still far away!
So, according to the previous arrangement, Tokugawa Nobuyasu made a gesture that he was not hostile, and then went to negotiate in person, saying, "Calm down, my lords, I'll wait...... We have turned from darkness to light...... Well, we are the people of the Three Rivers Country, and we have a ...... That one...... The token I got from Takasaka-sama is proof! Oh, and the flag, which can be given to you...... Submit it quickly! Now Takasaka-sama...... Takasaka-sama...... That one...... I'll wait...... Let's wait for the appointment...... Ah, it's going to the area around Nishimikawa......"
Originally, the lines had been memorized, but who would have thought of the real chapter, Tokugawa Nobuyasu, who had always prided himself on being brave and fearless, suddenly became nervous, and he was a little flustered and incoherent.
Seeing that the leader on the other side frowned and was displeased, Tokugawa Nobuyasu said that he was going to suffer, thinking that he could only try his best to keep this patrol behind.
But who knows, the rider who looked like a high-ranking samurai of Takeda was not suspicious, only shook his head, and responded in an old-fashioned manner: "You people of the Three Rivers Country...... This military appearance is really more than a little worse than our Jiafei people...... No wonder the Tokugawa family lost the battle! I'm a good person, let me advise you, and in the future, I will enter the roster of our Takeda family, and take some time to study hard, otherwise the ineffective battle will annoy Lord Mikan (Takeda Shingen), and you will feel good! β
ββ¦β¦ Be! Next...... I was taught! β
Tokugawa Nobuyasu was stunned for a moment, and then indignantβ"How can the elite troops I am proud of allow you to slander and smear like this? β
just thought that the business was important, and reluctantly admitted defeat.
A posture of daring to be angry but not daring to speak, but it was a mistake, which made the samurai of the Takeda family on the opposite side feel very reasonable.
Because he Tokugawa Nobuyasu doesn't know how to act at all, it's purely a real reaction, and there is no flaw at all.
Then, the Takeda samurai looked at the letters, paintings, seals, military flags, and other tokens, and confirmed that they were undoubtedly sent by Takasaka Masanobu, so he relaxed his mind and observed the hundreds of people around Tokugawa Nobuyasu a little, and saw that there was smoke and dust behind them, and asked, "Are you quite a few people?" β
Tokugawa Nobuyasu hurriedly replied, "There are one or two thousand of us, and we are all bent on showing loyalty to the Takeda family. β
"Okay!" The Takeda samurai nodded, a smile of disdain appeared on his face, and said jokingly: "A few days ago, the above specially explained that someone would strictly prevent someone from plotting to surrender. But looking at your scattered and messy army, it doesn't seem like you can do that kind of thing, haha......"
After laughing, he waved his hand and let him go.
β¦β¦
And Tokugawa Nobuyasu, who was both lucky and humiliated, continued on the road with very complicated feelings.
After walking a little way, he remembered that Ishikawa Shumasa had instructed that if he ran into the patrol of the Takeda family, he would quietly give a bribe so as not to cause trouble.
Thinking of this, Fu turned around again to chase after him, only to see that the patrol of the Takeda family was a group of ten horsemen, which had galloped hundreds of paces away, and gradually disappeared.
