Chapter 119: The Difference Between Generals and Commanders

"What did you say?" Nasu Hanheita turned his head suddenly, looking at the herald with a cold look in his eyes.

The herald was taken aback by Nasu Hanpei, but he was also a figure who had served the main general for a long time, whether it was the almost legendary Tsukahara Moryū, or the red dragon Sasaki, who was powerful in the world at the moment of this battle, neither of them was good at stubble, so he didn't show panic on his face, but nodded very affirmatively: "That's what Sasaki-sama ordered." ”

Nasu's breathing instantly became heavy, and his eyes shuttled back and forth between Sasaki Nagahide's command post and the battlefield under the mountain, and finally gave an order with a pale face to stop the attack of the iron artillery team under his command. In the long-term training, obedience is a vocation that has long been deeply imprinted in the minds of the standing army by Tsukahara Moryū, especially the commanders like Nasu Hanpeita, who are almost brainwashed to instill this concept. Even if you are dissatisfied with the orders of your superiors, even if you have opinions, you must resolutely implement them. "Please report to Lord Sasaki, the morale of the coalition forces has been exhausted right now, and it is the time for a decisive battle, so please seize the opportunity!"

After the sound of iron cannons gradually became sparse, those allied samurai who had already been frightened fled backwards in a chaotic manner, seeing the brave and good warriors running in all directions, the peasants and soldiers suddenly resolutely did not step forward, even if those remaining samurai scare them with swords, they resolutely did not step forward, and the peasants watched the samurai's gaze gradually become unkind. On the one hand, even if the samurai left behind were replenished, the number was not too much, and on the other hand, the attacks of the entire samurai lineup were all shot out by the other side, and the awe of the peasants for the samurai began to diminish. If the samurai really dared to take a few peasant soldiers, these peasant soldiers would not mind rushing up and adding a few bamboo spears to the respected samurai.

The place where the coalition army was in command was in a miserable situation at this time, and the heavy losses of these knights and warriors were already seriously beyond the range they could bear, and if the iron cannon had not suddenly stopped at the end, I am afraid that the losses would have been even greater. Just when people were panicking, Mibu Tsunafang showed joy, and when everyone's mood eased a little, and someone proposed to withdraw from the army, Mibu Tsunafang smiled and twisted his beard, and said: "Do you know why at the last moment, the Tsukahara army stopped firing iron cannons?" ”

Asked by Mibu Tsunawa, the noisy crowd suddenly fell silent, and everyone began to think about this question that they had ignored, because there was a very tempting answer to this question: the Tsukahara army didn't have much ammunition left! If you can get the amazing number of iron cannons of the Tsukahara army, it will be far superior to the same number of cavalry, and your family's combat power will undoubtedly be able to achieve a qualitative leap! Sasaki Nagahide is obviously not a good man and a woman, and he will definitely not deliberately let the coalition samurai live. As for Sasaki Nagahide's strategy...... After thinking about it, everyone felt that Sasaki Nagahide seemed to have only shown amazing bravery in this battle, and as for the commander's ability and strategy, it still didn't seem to have any performance. If you choose to back down now, your previous sacrifice will be in vain......

After a difficult trade-off, the Hao decided to regroup and launch another offensive to see how things went.

And in the main camp of the Tsukahara Army in Jiangmenyama, after carrying out Sasaki Nagahide's order, Nasu Hanheita came to Sasaki Nagahide, who was closing his eyes and recuperating in blood, and said loudly: "Lord Sasaki, my subordinates have a little suggestion of their own. ”

Tsukahara Nagakei, who was also resting on Maza, and Inukai Yoshio, as well as the surviving squire, were woken up by Nasu Hanheita's shouts, and swept their eyes over to stare at Nasu Hanheita. If a subordinate dared to speak to the commander in this tone in any other army during Japan's Warring States period, the commander could directly cut him down on the following charges, but in the army created by Tsukahara Moryū, after carrying out the order, the subordinates had the right to directly make suggestions to the commander.

Sasaki Nagahide opened his bloodshot eyes, looked at Nasu Banheita, and said flatly, "Let's talk about it." ”

Nasu Hanpei said angrily: "Lord Sasaki, what a good fighter just now, we could have taken advantage of the situation to inflict heavy losses on the coalition army, and even defeated the 38,000 army in one fell swoop, but why did your lord not move?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere of the entire formation suddenly became a little solemn, if it was such an offensive, would the strong Sasaki Nagahide directly let the other party's blood splash five steps? But to everyone's surprise, Sasaki Nagahide didn't mean to be angry, but looked at Nasu Banheita playfully, and said in a rather mocking tone: "This is the reason why I can be the boss, and you can only be the general." ”

"What did you say!" Nasu Hanheita's pupils shrank suddenly, and his face suddenly turned red, if he hadn't received a systematic samurai education since he was a child, he would probably have pulled out his sword on the spot.

Sasaki Nagahide glanced at Nasu Hanpeita, and the mockery was even stronger: "If I want to defeat them, after the first round of iron artillery bombardment, I can take advantage of the situation to expel the coalition forces from the lower country, why wait so long?" ”

Hearing this, Nasu Hanpei's face suddenly changed greatly, before he thought that Sasaki Nagahide was not good at grasping the fighter plane, and wasted so many opportunities in vain, until just now he couldn't bear it, and came out to make it difficult for Sasaki Nagashi, but he never expected that the other party actually knew everything about it. So the purpose of this is ......

Nasu Hanpei Tai is an extremely intelligent person, otherwise he would not have been suppressed by the eldest son of the family as a threat, after Sasaki Nagahide's little push, Nasu Hanpeitai's heart suddenly became high, and there seemed to be another invisible net in the sky, enveloping the 38,000 coalition troops, the more they struggled, the more deadly, and when they couldn't breathe, it was the time to decide the victory!

"Subordinates understood! For the crime of offense, please punish Lord Sasaki! Nasu Hanheita very readily admitted his mistake and pleaded guilty to Nagahide Sasaki.

Sasaki Nagahide smiled, "You said so, how else can I punish you?" is worthy of the person that the lord likes, and he is really sleek. Everyone, get ready for the next battle! ”

"Hah!" The generals responded in unison, and the doubts before that Hanheita were actually their confusions, and after a little plucking by Sasaki Nagahide, they also woke up and were high-spirited again.

After the coalition forces withdrew the samurai, they again sent back to their original reserves to command the peasants. Despite the heavy casualties, the samurai familiar to these peasants and soldiers were very powerful in the army, and some of the peasants were even distant relatives of some of the samurai who commanded them. Moreover, the samurai repeatedly assured that most of the iron cannons of the Tsukahara army were out of bullets and could not be used, and the remaining Tsukahara army had been exhausted under the rounds of offensives, and the peasants were under the command of the samurai and attacked Mt. Shomon again.
