Chapter 217: A Sudden Rainstorm

Nagaseno is a plain area located in the western part of Shimomurakan. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

It is strictly a valley surrounded by mountains and forests, with only a narrow plain in the middle.

When the Tsugawa family's troops arrived here, it was almost noon.

Soji Tsugawa called the Yoshikawa Hiroshi family and instructed, "It is estimated that the strength of the Ando family is now almost to meet Xiuno, so you immediately organize Ashigaru to arrange the horses and wooden fences in front." ”

"Yes!"

After Yoshikawa Hiroke left, Tsugawa Soji called Akechi Jubei and Takahashi Koke and others to leave the main camp and patrol the vicinity of Nagaseno.

The Nagaseno area connects Mi Kuno in the north with the Otomo of the Otsu family in the southwest, and is an important road connecting the north and south.

Nagaseno is surrounded by dense forests on all sides, and is surrounded by several large mountains not far away.

Soji Tsugawa looked at the strange terrain here, and secretly thought about something in his heart.

"Xingjia, you say, can we defeat the coalition forces of the Andong family and the Yuri party?" Soji Tsugawa asked.

Takahashi Xingjia thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Does Your Highness want to hear the truth or lie?" ”

"Hehe, of course it's the truth!"

Only then did Takahashi Xingjia speak, "My lord, your subordinates think that the disparity between the enemy and us is too great, and no matter how elite the ashigaru of the family is, it may be difficult to defeat the enemy." ”

"Then how do you think the family can defeat the other party?" Soji Tsugawa didn't care either, and continued to ask.

Takahashi Xingjia thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty doesn't have any good plans!" ”

Soji Tsugawa nodded, and suddenly turned to the wise Shibei who was standing aside in a daze and said, "Shibei, what do you think?" How can the family defeat the Andong family this time? ”

A halo appeared on the immature face of the wise Shibei at this time, and he said loudly, "My lord, Shibei believes that if you want to defeat an enemy several times your own with weak troops, there are only three ways to do it. ”

"Oh? There are three ways, let's talk about it. Soji Tsugawa said in surprise.

"The first is to rebel against the enemy's internal generals, and defeat the enemy from inside and outside." Wise Ten Guards said loudly.

Hearing this, Tsugawa Soji shook his head and said, "This method is not advisable now, and the family has little friendship with these people." Moreover, all of the Yuri Party are hostile to their own family, and if they want to rebel, it is difficult! ”

"What's next?" Soji Tsugawa then asked.

"The second way is to defend according to the dangerous terrain, as long as you can block the enemy's attack, or it will not be long before the enemy's morale drops and then retreats." Wise Ten Guards continued.

"But there's nothing dangerous here, and this one is useless!" Without waiting for Soji Tsugawa to speak, the wise ten guards vetoed it themselves.

"What about the last one?" Soji Tsugawa asked with a smile,

The wise ten guards raised their heads, looked at the dense mountains and forests in the distance, and said loudly, "Surprise attack!" ”

"Surprise attack?" Soji Tsugawa nodded and said, "Same as I thought." ”

"Shibei, do you have any good plans?" Soji Tsugawa then asked.

The wise Shibei shook his head and said, "Although a surprise attack is a good idea, and there are many dense forests here, I don't know where the enemy's main formation is, and I don't know if the enemy will send scouts to explore these places. ”

"Once the ambush of our family is discovered, not to mention the failure, there is still a danger of being surrounded." Wise Shibei said calmly.

"Ugh." Soji Tsugawa sighed and said, "In this way, we can only honestly face the enemy." ”

While speaking, Soji Tsugawa felt a chill on his face, and when he was wondering, Takahashi Xingjia on the side said, "My lord, it seems to be raining." ”

After a while, the originally clear sky suddenly became cloudy, and raindrops the size of beans poured down.

Soji Tsugawa looked at the sudden change in the weather, and said helplessly, "Heaven is not beautiful, let the ashigaru people hide in the forest to avoid the rain first." ”

"Yes!"

Half an hour later, the heavy rain still did not stop, Tsugawa Soji was wet all over, and the Ashigaru of the Tsugawa family sat on the ground one by one dejectedly, like a chicken in soup.

Looking at Ashigaru, whose morale was not high, Soji Tsugawa felt worried.

"Guangjiu, I don't know how long it will rain this time. Where are the enemy forces now? Soji Tsugawa asked.

Akechi Mitsuhisa replied, "The enemy has just passed Mitsuno, so I'm afraid they're sheltering from the rain just like us." ”

"See Xiuno? It's only 5 miles of land. The herald stepped back, and retreated to the Lower Village Pavilion first! Soji Tsugawa said suddenly.

Yoshikawa Hiroya opened his mouth at this time and said, "My lord, why are you retreating?" ”

"With such a heavy rain, how to fight? I saw the road outside, and it was already muddy (**** will be harmonious, I don't know why.... How to fight in such an environment? Soji Tsugawa said with a smile, "This kind of heavy rain is actually a good thing for the family, at least it has brought a lot of trouble to the enemy. ”

"Wait.... Heavy rain .........." Soji Tsugawa rolled his eyes and suddenly thought of something.

For a long time, Tsugawa Soji smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said to Yoshikawa Hiroya and others, "Yoshikawa Hiroya, wise Mitsuhisa." Do you see the mountain ahead? With that, Soji Tsugawa pointed to a hill not far away.

"See." Yoshikawa Hiroya and Akechi Shibei nodded and said.

"I now order the two of you to take Huang Bei and Lan Bei to that mountain, pay attention to concealment, you must not come out without my order!" Soji Tsugawa said loudly.

Yoshikawa Hiroke asked puzzledly, "Does the lord have any plans?" ”

"Haha, this heavy rain has reminded me of something, let's not talk about it, let's do what I order."

"Hah!"

"Jubei, let Kanna Toishin and Nagano Masaka come to see me." Soji Tsugawa continued.

"Yes!"

Not long after, Akechi Shibei came to Tsugawa Soji's side with Kana Tokinobu and Nagano Masabo.

"My lord."

"Hmm." Soji Tsugawa nodded, and said to Kanna Tokishin, "Tokishin, after the heavy rain, the movement of the road Nishi cavalry will definitely be affected, so the cavalry team will be useless for the time being. ”

"You take the horseback team back to the Shimomurakan first."

"Yes!"

"Nagano Masata."

"Yes."

"You also return to the Shimomurakan with your troops, and besides, remember to bring my flag." Soji Tsugawa said, pointing to a banner not far away that represented Soji Tsugawa.

"Why is that?" Nagano Masafang said puzzled.

Soji Tsugawa smiled and said, "You don't need to know, you just need to remember that you are Soji Tsugawa now!" ”

"Hah!" Although Nagano Masabo was full of questions, Tsugawa Soji was reluctant to say it, and he didn't dare to ask more.

"Takahashi Xingjia, pass the order, and after the rain stops, the army begins to retreat towards the lower village hall." Soji Tsugawa then said to Takahashi Koki.

"Yes!"

Nearly an hour passed, and the heavy rain finally stopped. The Tsukawa family's forces began to retreat towards the Shimomurakan.

Soharu Tsugawa did not appear in the retreating ranks.

"My lord, why are we staying here?" Takahashi asked puzzled.

Hearing this, Soji Tsugawa smiled and said, "I'm here to prepare a big gift for the Anto family and the Yuri party!" ”

"Shibei, you take these letters, send them to Bai Zeyuan and Ya Liyuan and Shimomurakan respectively, and give them to Nagano Masabo, Saigo Kicho, Komura Yoshikei and others, and let them act according to orders." Soji Tsugawa then said to the wise Jubei.

"Yes!"

After the wise ten soldiers left, Tsugawa Soji smiled and said, "Now wait for the fish to take the bait!" ”
