Chapter 130: Underestimating the Enemy

Time back to four days ago, on the afternoon of August 15, the Asai family assessment meeting.

Matsushita didn't have the same information as everyone else, but cleared his throat and continued to speak: "The previous ones were all false moves. ”

"The true meaning of my art of war isβ€”"

"Underestimate the enemy."

"A good rider falls from a horse, a good swimmer drowns, a good drinker gets drunk, and a good fighter dies." Panasonic whispered lightly, "No matter how amazing your skills are, once you underestimate the enemy, you will inevitably fail." People are often in the areas where they are most proud and proud, and they are most likely to underestimate the enemy and lead to failure. ”

Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that when he was defending the city in Zhili, it was precisely because he was proud of repairing the city wall in one day that he underestimated the enemy, neglected the defense of the city gate, and was almost broken through by the Oda army.

And when Panasonic wiped out the bandits in a light manner before, he also used the bandits to underestimate the enemy, despised the combat power of more than a dozen of them, and was always looking for the army that did not exist, so he won with one blow.

Underestimate the enemy.

"And the Rokkaku are most proud of their intelligence and ninjas." Matsushita analyzed lightly, "When I watched the information before going down, I found that Lord Takanase has been in close contact with the Asai family for a long time, and the Rokkaku family must have noticed something. ”

"Therefore, our rebellion this time must also be under their surveillance, and it will definitely be discovered." Panasonic shook his head lightly, "But it doesn't matter. This is because they are proud, they underestimate the enemy, and when they find out that we really want to plot against Lord Takanose, they will plan and let us go against him, instead of further pursuing our rebellion, so as not to startle the snake. ”

"I think they're going to let us go to Hida Castle and then pretend to go back to quell the rebellion and lead us into an ambush in the hinterland of Minami-Omi. Otherwise, the confrontation will be here, and the Hexagon family will not be able to fight. Panasonic looked around at everyone in a chaotic manner, and everyone had a worried look on their faces.

Panasonic continued to speak: "We might as well do the same again." ”

"I don't know where this lord came from?" Haibei Tsunade asked.

"Two points. It's all about the Hexagonal family and about the underestimation of intelligence. Panasonic raised two fingers lightly, "First: The Rokkaku family will let us go to the anti-Takanose Hidetaka and will not do more inspection and interference with the people we sent to the anti-bed, so as not to attract our attention." If you want to use your intelligence advantage, you can beat us up with a plan! ”

"Second, the Hexagonal Family will be the same as in today's battle, after seeing the banner of all our reserves appear, the whole army will press it." Panasonic paused lightly, "And the Eagle Preparation is our killer move." ”

The time came to the evening of August 16, the mouth of the Uso River.

"Amano-sama, how's the situation going?" Sanada asked in a low voice after waiting for the people to check to leave.

"No problem." Amano Jingde said in a deep voice, "The Rokkaku, they must have found the gold and silver currency underneath the grain. And then, as the boy expected, he didn't check too much, so as not to arouse our suspicions. ”

"In other words, the Guzu and the knife that we hid under the gold and silver currency have not been found." Masayuki Sanada confirmed.

"Absolutely not." Amano nodded.

On the evening of August 16, inside the castle tower of Hida Castle.

"Little brother Haibei, didn't you bring more than 200 guys? Why do you want to borrow more than 200 people from me to return home? Hidetaka Takanose asked puzzled.

"Those two hundred or so people won't leave Feitian City." Sanada Masayuki shook his head, "They were infiltrated by the elite soldiers of the Asai Hall disguised as men, and the armor and weapons had already been brought in, so they were ambushed in Hita Castle. ”

"Nani!" Hidetaka Takanose was taken aback, "It's good that there are still fine works in the city, what if they are discovered?" ”

"All the people in the city were captured. But for the sake of insurance," Sanada Masayuki said in a low voice: "In the past three days, please close the city gates, and the whole city will be under martial law, and people will be prohibited from entering and leaving the net, so as to prevent fish from slipping through the net." ”

"That," Hidetaka Takanose calmed his breath, "I'll hide them in the castle tower with the armor." Are they here to help me defend the city? ”

"No, it's used to surprise the Hexagonal Army at that time." Sanada Masayuki shook his head, "We estimate that there is a high probability that the Hexagonal Army and our army will fight outside Hita Castle. ”

"Is that so...," Hidetaka Takanose still didn't calm down from his surprise, "So you borrowed more than 200 strong men from me in order to replace the more than 200 you brought, and to avoid the inspection of the Rokkaku family in the estuary?" So as to pretend that there is no one to bring in? ”

"That's right." Sanada Masayuki nodded and said, "Tomorrow, I will bring another two hundred and fifty people over, and I will ask you to borrow me when the time comes." ”

Back on August 15, the Asai Army assessed the big tent.

"We took advantage of the fact that the Hexagonal Army was unwilling to investigate this loophole because of the light enemy, and sent the armor and army into Feitian City without telling the sky." Matsushita nodded lightly. "I reckon the Rokkaku Army will lead us as far as possible into the south of the river, but we got to Hida Castle. Obviously, there is a basis for it, and it will not continue to move forward rashly. Therefore, the best place for them to ambush is around Fata City. ”

"Makes sense." Several important ministers around nodded one after another.

"We bit the Hexagonal team all the way and let them ambush us. As soon as the battle began, we went all out to meet it. When the Hexagonal family ambushes and kills, we will naturally be defeated. The corners of Panasonic's mouth curled slightly, "When the time comes, the banners of all our reserve teams will appear, and all the troops will be entangled in the Hexagonal Family, and when there is no strength left, the Hexagonal Family will show its flaws." They underestimated the enemy too much, believed too much in their own intelligence, and believed that the Asai family had no power left. ”

"Rokkaku Yoshixian will definitely put a large number of troops in his own formation into the attack! There may only be 300 soldiers left in this formation, a total of about 1,000 men, or even less. Let's take this opportunity to let the eagles in Feitian City prepare 500 soldiers to go out of the city to attack the opponent's main formation! Once the Hexagonal Yixian's main formation is breached, the Hexagonal family has no leader, and the various wealthy clans lose their command, we will win! ”

"What about the horses of the Hexagon family? With them, the 500 eagles were equipped with no spears, and it was difficult to resist the cavalry on the plains. Asai Nagamasa questioned.

"Then you need Asai-sama to lure them away." Panasonic whispered lightly, "My lord, at the last moment, you absconded with 100 horses with a horse seal and abandoned the army. In order to hunt you down, the hexagon Yoshiken will definitely let his horse guards come out with their whole army. As for where to flee, you can do it yourself when you get to the battlefield. In short, the farther away the Hexagon family is to lead the stables as far as possible. Then, Amano-sama will take the eagle to attack! ”

"But His Highness's abandonment of the army will definitely have a huge impact on morale, and maybe the whole army will collapse in an instant!" Akao Kiyotsuna hurriedly suggested, "And it's too risky." It's too dangerous to blindly believe in a plan like this. If you are not careful, you will lose all the games. ”

"The soldiers are in danger, how can there be a battle that is sure to win?" Matsushita shook his head lightly, "At that time, you will need your important ministers to suppress the troops, as long as you stabilize for a while, the surprise attack can be launched." I believe in my own judgment and my grasp of the plan, but I don't know if everyone present is willing to believe in the plan. ”

"This..."Haibei Tsunade listened to this dazzling series of schemes, and couldn't help but sigh at the young hero, "It's just that the scheme is too dangerous, in case something happens..."

"Just use the side plan." Matsushita pointed at Hitian Castle lightly, "In case of an unexpected change on the battlefield, the eagles in Hitian Castle will immediately attack and retreat to Hitian Castle in response to the army." ”

"Have you figured everything out?" Yu Qiuping looked at Panasonic and sighed, "What a trick to light the enemy." It's remarkable. ”

"In case the plan is leaked, please keep it secret, and don't tell anyone." Panasonic added lightly.

"This dangerous plan to fight for his life has been sacrificed in the future. As for whether to adopt it or not, it depends on what Asai Lord-sama means. Matsushita turned around lightly and bowed to Asai Nagamasa.

Asai Nagamasa silently stared at the map in front of him, looking calm on the surface, but in fact, his heart was already turbulent.

Time back to the afternoon of August 19th, three o'clock in the city. Amano Keitoku was just stunned to watch Asai Nagamasa flee far away instead of following the plan, but coming straight to Hitian Castle, so he had to forcibly open the city gate to answer. Then, according to the latter's request, he left the horse seal in the city, and opened the south gate, and let the horses and the people run south.

"Asai-sama, what are you..."Amano Keide and the crow on his shoulders both looked at Asai Nagamasa with puzzled expressions.

"This is my glory, the fatal blow to the Hexagonal Family's main formation, it must be completed by me personally!" Asai Nagamasa pulled the reins of his horse, and the prancing horse came to the eagles who were ready to go behind the West Gate.

"I've been waiting for a moment, I've been waiting for almost ten years! It's been ten years, and we, the Asai family, have been enduring the bullying of the Rokkaku family and have been cowardly surrendering! I can't take it anymore! I'm a man! Asai Nagamasa roared loudly: "From the moment I decided to adopt this plan of raid, it was already doomed, we and the Rokkaku family will not die!" ”

"The good boys of the Asai family! Follow me! Recover the blood debt of your relatives and ancestors! Reclaim our lost ground! Get back our Asai family, the dignity of being a samurai! ”

Asai Nagamasa turned over and dismounted, striding towards the city gate.

"I'm just like you, I don't ride a horse, I don't escape, I fight side by side with you!" Asai Nagamasa roared: "If I don't take down the horse seal of the hexagonal yoshixian, I swear not to be a man!" ”

"Open the door!" Asai Nagamasa raised his arms, and the West Gate was slowly pushed open in front of them. Crossing the doorway and looking to the west, it is the Edo River, the bridge over the Edo River, the endless plain, the two armies fighting to the death, and the black and yellow crane pattern horse print of the hexagonal Yoshiken two miles away!

"Eagles!" Asai Nagamasa's eyes were red, and the hand holding the knife trembled slightly, and he roared hoarsely: "Spread your wings and fly high!" ”

"Hey! Hey! Roar! Five hundred hot-blooded good men responded to their lord's roar with the same hoarse roar. A white eagle flag on a blue background was set above the Asai Nagamasa Horse Seal flag, hunting in the wind!

"Forward!"
