Chapter 347: Ambush
Bidding farewell to Oda Nobutada, Sabei immediately led the forces of the Ninth Formation to the planned ambush site.
Fujido Takatora in the marching team suddenly jumped out of his horse and galloped to Sabei's side, and when Sabei saw this, he reined in his mount and asked Fujido Takatora, "What do you have to report to Youemon?" ”
Fujido Takatora shook his head when he heard this, and then said to Sabei: "My lord, the Hojo Army is not exhausted, is it a little unsafe for us to block its return path with two thousand troops?" ”
After hearing this, Sabei smiled and said: "Who said that we want to destroy the Hojo Army, we only need to attack and hinder them, as long as we can delay their return, it will be the greatest contribution to our family!" ”
After hearing this, Fujido Gaohu nodded, and then returned to the team. Seeing this, Suzuki Heavy Industries, who was on the side, smiled and said to Sabei: "My lord, I am a thoughtful person with Uemon, such a samurai is a sharp blade to my lord, but please also use this blade well, don't be hurt by this blade!" ”
Sabei smiled, and instead of answering Suzuki Heavy Industries, he ordered the army to increase the speed of the march.
When they arrived at the predetermined ambush site, Sabei ordered everyone to set up traps and barricades here, and ordered the bow team and the iron artillery team to hurry up and mark the shooting, and maintain the bow and iron cannon.
Since it was an ambush for the enemy, everyone had to eat the cool rice balls with dried fish, and after eating, they continued to set traps and barricades.
Half a day passed, and there were many traps and roadblocks on the road to Izu Sagami. Standing on a high place, Sabei looked west, and in the afterglow of the setting sun, he saw only the endless bushes.
After nightfall, Sabei summoned his generals to the main formation. Everyone sat on the horse, looking at the solemn-looking Sabei above, waiting for the Sabei who was the general of the formation to give an order.
After being silent for a long time in this formation, Sabei said to Okubo Tadasa in front of him: "Okubo-sama, as the first echelon, immediately appeared to attack the Hojo Army after they entered the trap!" ”
Okubo Tadasa didn't expect Sabei to give him a task similar to the first hand service, so he said with some excitement: "Yes! ”
Mori Chang on the side could see the situation and asked for battle, and Sabei naturally did not refute it, so he arranged for Mori Naga to cooperate with Okubo Tadasa's attack after Okubo Tadasa's attack.
Later, Sabei ordered Suzuki Heavy Industries to lead the iron artillery team to attack the Hojo Army, and he led the army to cut the Hojo Army's marching formation, and after he disrupted the Hojo Army's marching formation, he would launch a surprise attack on the Hojo Army General General.
After arranging the tasks of the generals, Sabei sat alone in the main formation, Sakami Heiji on the side was carrying Sabei's big naginata, and Fujido Takatora was holding Sabei's pressure cut. The three of them were silent, and the atmosphere gradually became solemn.
Finally, the Fujitang Gaohu who was holding the pressure cut spoke out and said, "What is the lord worried about? ”
Sabei first looked up at the looming moon, and then said to Fujido Takatora, "I wonder if Takeda Katsuyori will easily let the Hojo army out of the castle?" ”
Fujido Takatora was stunned for a moment when he heard this, looked at Sabei, and said to Sabei after a few breaths: "My lord, since His Royal Highness Nobunaga sent his lord to stop the Hojo Army, then he has his own way to let the Hojo Army escape. ”
Hearing this, Sabei stood up suddenly, and immediately said to Fujido Takatora: "With Youemon, quickly go and invite everyone to the main camp!" ”
Seeing that Sabei's tone was eager, Fujitang Gaohu naturally didn't dare to slack off, so he immediately held the pressure in his hand and rushed out of the formation.
After a while, the generals looked at the Sabei in the formation with puzzled faces, but they heard Sabei say: "Although the change of the order is not good for the morale of the army, the previous orders are all terminated, and I have a new arrangement!" ”
Hearing this, the generals looked at the Sabei in front of them with some shock, and Suzuki Heavy Industries immediately asked, "Forgive me for being rude, I don't know why the lord terminated the previous order?" ”
Hearing this, Sabei stood up and said to the generals: "At this time, when the army is besieging the city, and the siege is at a critical moment, how can Takeda Katsuyori easily let the Hojo Army leave?" If Katsuyori Takeda does not let the Hojo Army leave, how should the Hojo Army leave? ”
After pondering for a moment, Suzuki Heavy Industries replied, "But if Takeda Katsu relies on force to subdue the Hojo Army, I am afraid that the situation will be more unfavorable to the Takeda Army, and the only way is to let the Hojo Army leave at night when the fighting is relatively peaceful." ”
After hearing this, Sabei nodded, and then said: "Although Takeda Katsuyori has been released, there is still the military strength of the family on the periphery, will the Hojo army not worry about being besieged by the army of the family?" ”
At this time, Fujido Takatora on the side suddenly interjected: "Could it be that His Royal Highness Nobunaga has secretly reached an agreement with the Hojo Army?" ”
After hearing this, Sabei laughed and said, "If that's the case, what does the lord mean by sending me here?" ”
It dawned on the generals that Oda Nobunaga was going to trick the Hojo Army out of Sunpu Castle and then attack them on their way back to Sagami and Izu. The purpose of sending the ninth formation of Sabei was to stop the retreating Hojo Army, and then send other troops to flank the Hojo Army and wipe out these Hojo Army on the way back to Sagami and Izu. This not only weakened the garrison of Sunpu Castle and provoked the relationship between the Kosho Alliance, but also severely damaged the power of the Hojo clan in Sagami Izu, so as to obtain more benefits from the Hojo clan.
After the generals understood, Sabei got up and ordered again: "We must spread a large net here, and we must not let the Hojo clan slip through the net!" ”
After giving the order, Sabei looked at the generals who had left one after another, and finally stopped Fushiwa Akijiro and Suzuki Heavy Industries, who were walking with their swords.
Seeing this, Fushiwa Meijiro bowed his head and said to Sabei, "What does the lord command?" ”
Sabei glanced at Suzuki Heavy Industries on the side, and said to Fushiwa Akijiro: "This battle must be a bloody battle, Akijiro, you are ready!" ”
Hearing this, Fushiwa Mingjiro nodded, and then saluted and said goodbye to Sabei.
Suzuki Heavy Industries, who stayed behind, looked at Sabei, who looked more solemn in front of him, and asked in a low voice, "What else is the matter with the lord?" ”
Sabei sighed, looked at Suzuki Heavy Industries, who was holding a knife in front of him, and said: "This time the lord didn't explain in detail, I don't know why, I'm going to send Sukeemon to investigate the situation later, what does Goroubei think?" ”
Suzuki Heavy Industries thought about it when he heard this, and then said: "It is indeed more secure to send out Sukeemon, but I hope that the lord will grasp the proportions!" ”
Sabei nodded, and then sent someone to summon Sukeemon to him, and after admonishing Sukeemon, he waved his hand to signal Sukeemon to leave.
Looking at the figure of Sukeemon leaving quickly, a trace of confusion oozed from Sabei's eyes.
