On the main battlefield outside Ibaraki Castle, the sound of fighting was endless.

As the Miyoshi family continues to increase its troops, the situation on the battlefield seems to be moving in a favorable direction for the Miyoshi family. However, in the hearts of the retainers of the Tsugawa family, they have always been very "unhappy"!

Made, it's clear that you have the upper hand! Obviously, the troops under his command can defeat the enemy army with a single charge, why don't you let us fight!

The warriors of the Tsugawa family are not afraid of bloodshed, and the ashigaru of the Tsugawa family is not afraid of sacrifice!

However, military orders are military orders, and no one dares to disobey them at all. Therefore, no matter how unhappy everyone is, no one dares to disobey the military order, and can only act according to the order.

......

Outside the Tsugawa family's main camp, Tsugawa Soji, Sanada Yutaka and others were standing on a hillside watching the situation on the battlefield.

Sanada Yutaka pointed in one direction and said slowly, "My lord, the Miyoshi family seems to have increased its troops, and a new army has been added there!" ”

"Well, my family has seen it too!" As the saying goes, standing high and seeing far away, standing on this hill, almost everything on the battlefield can be seen at a glance.

"Miyoshi Changqing is in a hurry, my family might as well sell him another flaw!" Soji Tsugawa smiled slightly, then pointed to the northeast and said, "It should be the Hojo family's troops deployed there, let the Hojo family's troops join the battlefield immediately!" ”

"However, after participating in the battle, you are only allowed to charge once, and after being blocked by the Miyoshi family, you will quickly retreat, and when you retreat, you must retreat in the direction of the front of the family!"

"In addition, I instructed Hojo Shinkuro to pretend to retreat, even if he pretended to retreat, he had to pretend to be a little bit like that! At the same time, he ordered the troops of the second formation of his family to retreat one mile and vacate the mountain depression between the second formation and the front formation! ”

"At the same time, let the artillery team start calibration, all the muzzles must be aimed here, and the family will give a big gift to Miyoshi Changqing here!" Tsugawa Soji shook off the military equipment in his hand, and he was indescribably happy!

Sanada Yutaka quickly understood Tsugawa Soji's plan, so he said with great admiration, "In terms of familiarity with military law, the lord may not be as good as the lord, but in terms of marching and fighting, ten in the lower is not as good as the lord!" “

"Hahaha!" To be so praised by Yutaka Sanada, the "attacking bomb" in history, Soharu Tsugawa is happy from the bottom of his heart.

"Genta Saemon's kung fu is not enough to get home, I have time to learn more from Kamo Jiuqing and a few of them, you have to practice again!" happily patted Sanada Yutaka on the shoulder, and then Tsugawa Soji said with a condensed face, "The family boasts that this battle will be won, but just in case, the battle ahead is still under your own command!" ”

"After all, the stakes are very high, and my family is a little worried! But if Gentai Saemon is in charge of the front battle, the family will be at ease! ”

Feeling the trust in Tsugawa Soji's words, Sanada Yutaka said with a grateful face, "Don't worry, the lord will live up to expectations!" “

......

Earlier, when Sanada Yutaka appeared, Yoshiaki Kamiyama, who had been holding back for a long time, quickly surrounded him, and complained to Sanada Yutaka.

"Sanada-sama, when did the lord give the order to attack, it's the first time in his life to fight such a battle!" Shangshan Yoshiaki said indignantly. It's okay if you say you can't beat it, but you have to pretend that you can't beat it, it's really annoying!

Sanada Yutaka laughed, "Everyone, the lord of the war has his own plans!" ”

"You are all important ministers of your own family, and you are also the commander of the legion, and I will not hide it from you, the lord has already ordered the Hojo family's troops to participate in the war!"

"Are you finally going to start fighting back?"

"No, the Hojo family's forces will quickly rout when they join the battlefield, and the Hojo family's ashigaru will retreat towards us! What you have to do is to take the initiative to give up an opening when the Hojo family retreats, not only to let the Hojo family's troops retreat, but also to let the Miyoshi family's troops in! ”

"And!" Ignoring the changing faces of Yoshiaki Kamiyama and the others, Sanada Yutaka continued, "And you still need to restrain the troops under your command, and when the Miyoshi family is pursuing, you can definitely attack without permission!" ”

"Could it be that the lord is going to use the fishing and ambush method?" Kamo Hisashi, the commander of the Iron Artillery Team who had participated in the pacification battle of Sado Island, said excitedly. If it is really a fishing nobush, then the musket team under his command will play an important role, and the credit will not be at your fingertips at that time?

However, Sanada Yutaka shook his head, "Although it is similar to Orinofushi, it is not Orinofushi!" ”

"There is a mountain depression between the second formation and the front formation, and the surrounding ground is higher and the middle is low-lying area! When the Hojo family's forces retreat, the second formation will give up this area and wait for the Miyoshi family's troops to enter! ”

"And once the Miyoshi family's troops enter here, the troops of the family ambushed around the battlefield will quickly encircle the enemy army! The purpose of this battle lord is not as simple as defeating the Miyoshi family, but to completely annihilate the forces of the Miyoshi family! Sanada Yutaka said with a fierce look in his eyes.

"Annihilation of the enemy?" Everyone present let out an exclamation!

Although the joint battle of this era is not the "village battle" mentioned by the keyboard warriors of the Celestial Empire, although the scale of the battle is not small, the casualty rate has not been high. The main reason is that most of the troops participating in the war are peasant soldiers, and their combat effectiveness and morale are low, and it is impossible to cause too many casualties.

Another reason is that farmers are also a resource. Once the population drops sharply, it means that the food income in the territory will be reduced, so basically the warring parties will not allow the emergence of "mass casualties" unless absolutely necessary.

And what Sanada Yutaka said just now, if he heard it wrong, should be "total annihilation", which is a bit terrifying.

That's tens of thousands of lives!

"Don't worry too much, just do what your lord orders!" Sanada Yutaka is obviously not ready to keep up with Yoshiaki Yama and the others in this matter, "I have to go to the second formation to deploy troops in the next formation, you can just act according to the plan!" ”

"It's a matter of the lord's plan, if someone delays the fighter, don't blame the military law of this family for being too harsh!" Sanada Yutaka reiterated it at the end.

At the thought of the Tsugawa family's military law, the retainers present all shuddered, obviously unwilling to feel the majesty of the law.

......

The Hojo family's main camp was located in a dense forest southeast of the main battlefield, and the Hojo clan was having dinner when he received the order from Tsugawa Soji.

And when he learned of his next task from the herald's mouth, the Hojo clan directly squirted out a mouthful of tea, "What does the Tsugawa Hall mean by this, is it because he looks down on the strength of my Hojo family?" ”

The Hojo clan was furious, and felt that his family name had been insulted, and he didn't bring such a shabby person!

What do you mean for us to go up and retreat with a charge, does my Hojo family have such a dish?

Oh, your Tsugawa family's five-color preparation NB, my Hojo's five-color preparation is garbage!

"Hiccup!"

In a fit of rage, Hojo couldn't help but burp.

Hmm, this chazuke is so delicious........
