Chapter 883: Back to the Battlefield
Of course, there is no such thing as humility between peers.,So it's common to quarrel in the military.,Even fighting for a task is possible.,If you want to be humble.,Yes.,The Sugitani Zenjubo of the Takayama family is a good example.,The days he joined the Takayama family are not short.,But what's the use of this.,Maeda Toshiya and others who used to have the same identity as him have now become a small daimyo with a territory of more than 10,000 stones.,But he's still the leader of the Takayama family., Even Yamauchi Kazutoyo, who was not as good as him at the beginning, now also has Wanshi Zhixing, this is the indisputable result, especially in recent years, Sugitani Zenjubo has become more and more low-key, although the people of the Takayama family know that his ambition is no longer this, and the purpose of joining the Takayama family is also to achieve the purpose of avenging Hatsune, but if you don't fight, then never want to get more.
So as soon as the four heavenly kings of the Takayama family finished speaking, Omiya Keiren, Tanaka Katsusuke, and Ito Yubing fought together, and Uesugi Keikatsu also wanted to participate in it, but Naoe Kanesuke behind him shook his head at him again and again.
Uesugi Keikatsu forgot his original intention, but Naoe Kaneji didn't forget, eliminating the Hojo reinforcements or something is secondary, and now the most important thing for the family to do is to eliminate Uesugi Jinghu, Jinghu is not destroyed, so what's the use of eliminating more Hojo reinforcements. After receiving a hint from Naoe Kasetsu, Uesugi Keikatsu put out the idea of scrambling.
And the commander of the Gao Shan family didn't have so many scruples, so he only heard Omiya Jinglian speak first: "Military Division, if it is to block the enemy's reinforcements, then I think that no one is more competent than the bow team led by Xia, if you send Xia, you only need to find an ambush place." When the enemy passes. Random arrows are fired. It will inevitably cause chaos to the enemy, and after a few waves of arrows, no matter how elite the Hojo Goshiki is is, it will be impossible to escape the fate of destruction, so I also ask the military advisor to hand over the task to the next to complete. ”
"No, no, the strength of my family was still weak, so I used a sneak attack. The tactics of ambush are a last resort, and now the family has become one of the most powerful forces in the world, if these indiscriminate means are still used, then avoid being ridiculed by the world, so I think that I should fight head-on with the Hojo army, and I can also use this to tell the world that the family will send a large number of new troops, but it can still defeat the elite of Hojo, so I also asked the military division to hand over the blocking task to the next, and I promised that no one from the Hojo reinforcements would reach Kasuga Mountain Castle. I also ask the military advisor to decide. Although Katsusuke Tanaka missed the opportunity, he didn't care. He thinks that he can impress the military advisor with just his words, after all, the current family no longer needs to do those despicable things, so he has a great deal of confidence in getting this mission, but he doesn't know anything about Honda Masanobu at all, if he knows that Honda Masanobu hates the most is frontal combat, then he will never say this, but the words have been spoken, and it is impossible to take it back.
"Who do you say is using the next three indiscriminate methods?" As soon as the other party finished speaking, he only heard Omiya Jinglian ask unhappily.
Although he is a member of the main family, such an identity is not very easy to use in the Takayama family, and it is still to see who is strong in this family, so Tanaka Katsusuke is not afraid of him, so he only listens to him and says: "Whoever still wants to sneak attack, I will say whom." ”
"You ......"
"Okay, okay, two adults, this is not the time to quarrel, according to the next opinion, it is better to determine the most important matter first, and in the next opinion, what Tanaka-sama said still has some truth, but in the lower opinion, although it should be fought by the spear ashigaru, the military situation that only does not fight should be handed over to the army under the command of the next one, not long ago, the army under the command of the Uesugi family was just defeated, and at this moment it is necessary to wash away the shame of a tough battle, so for the reputation of the Takayama family, the two adults should not fight anymore." Ito Yubing, who had only recently joined the Takayama family and was directly appointed by the clan as the leader of the spear ashigaru team, spoke.
In order to be able to restore his family name, it is impossible for him to let go of any opportunity, for him, the performance is not only good, but also early, the sooner he makes great contributions, then the sooner he can restore his family name, for him, there is nothing more important than restoring his family name, so more than this time, it can be said that he will not give up every opportunity.
"Do you two think that because there are many people, I am afraid that you will not succeed?"
“……”
While the three of them were constantly fighting, the four heavenly kings of the Gao Shan family were sitting next to them watching the play, and they kept talking in low voices.
"Maeda-sama, who do you think the military division will let to block?" Although Yamauchi Kazutoshi is the worst in ability and strength among the four heavenly kings of the Takayama family, he has to say that his popularity is indeed the best, so when he opens his mouth, others are willing to talk to him.
Maeda Toshiya thought about it, and then said in a low voice: "With the character of Honda's military division, I think it is more likely to send Omiya-sama to go, after all, what military divisions like most is to get the maximum benefit at the minimum cost." ”
"Having said that, the number of Omiya's bow team is still a little too small, and if he is only sent alone, I am afraid it will be difficult to stop Kasahara Yasukatsu's progress. So in the next place, I think that Katsusuke Tanaka may be greater. Watanabe Moritsuna couldn't help but join the discussion at this time, only to hear him speak.
"Always let these boys be in the limelight, I'm afraid it won't be long before the names of the four of you and me will be forgotten by the world, if you want me to say, shouldn't we also be active?" Seeing that the three people around him had spoken, Wasuka Masakatsu also chatted.
"I also have this idea in the next place, but it's a pity that even if the four of you and I are combined, the military strength brought this time is only 3,000, and it seems a little difficult to fight 8,000 Hojo elites with 3,000." I just listened to Watanabe Moritsuna.
"This thing is easy to do, although the four of us don't have such ability, but if we add Omiya Jingren, it should be enough, you see that Omiya Jinglian can't say Tanaka and the two at all, if we speak at this time, then he can't thank us for a lifetime? Hurry up and decide, if you want to do it, speak quickly, don't wait for the military advisor to speak, otherwise there will really be nothing to do with us. ”
Since the head of the four heavenly kings of the Takayama family, Wasuka Masakatsu, had all spoken, the remaining three naturally had no objections, so they all nodded one after another.
And with the nod of these three. Wasuka Masakatsu has a bottom in his heart. But just when he was about to speak. I saw a junior samurai walking in quickly, and after saluting, he immediately said: "Report to the military division, Lord Ishikawa led three thousand ninja troops to help, and now the army is stationed two miles away, and Lord Ishikawa is waiting outside the main formation, and please make a decision." ”
After hearing this, Honda Masanobu immediately said, "Got it." Immediately Ishikawa-sama is invited to come to the meeting. ”
And when everyone present heard the news that Ishikawa had arrived with the ninja army, they all kept their mouths shut, they knew that it was difficult for them to stop the enemy army. And they all scolded Ishikawa in their hearts, this kid didn't come early, he didn't come late, but he came when he was about to arrange the task, and he really knew how to pick the time.
After a short time, I saw Ishikawa Goemon, who was dressed in ninja armor, walk in, and after saluting, he said, "Military Division." After learning that Kasahara Yasukatsu led 8,000 elites to aid Uesugi Keiho, the lord specially ordered him to lead the ninja army to follow the dispatch of the military division. I also ask the military advisor to give an order. ”
Honda Masanobu nodded, and after putting Ishikawa Goemon in place, he spoke: "Your Excellency has also robbed it, then it's time for me to assign the task, I have decided that this time, except for the ninja army, all the other Takayama family troops will be dispatched to destroy the enemy who comes to help." ”
Hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but be stunned, they all thought that the military advisor was wrong, and they all attacked, then there were only more than 10,000 Uesugi troops left here plus 3,000 ninja troops, with such a scale of military momentum, it was impossible to surround the enemy in the city, so the people present did not answer, but waited for the military advisor to correct the order, after all, when no one made a mistake, it is understandable that the military advisor occasionally said something wrong.
Seeing that all the generals present were silent, Honda Masashi couldn't help frowning, only to hear him say with some displeasure: "What, don't you want to disobey?" ”
Seeing that the military advisor was not joking, I heard Tanaka Katsusuke hurriedly ask: "The military advisor, it's not that we don't want to receive the order, it's just that ...... It's just that if the family's army leaves in large numbers, then Uesugi Jinghu in the city will definitely take this opportunity to attack the remaining army, and at that time, even if the family can resist the opponent's attack, it is impossible to trap it in the city, so ...... So only those who are inferior will have doubts. ”
After hearing this, Honda Masatin couldn't help but smile slightly, only to hear him speak: "You don't have to worry, if you are not sure, how can I be so risky, now that the Uesugi Jinghu turtle has not come out of the city, there has been no action for several days, I expect that before the arrival of reinforcements, it will not make any moves, so at this time, the army will not move and wait for when." ”
"But Lord Honda, once the military strength here is reduced, then Jinghu in the city will definitely be aware of it, and at that time, how can the other party be willing to hold on and wait for reinforcements, once it attacks, then the remaining army will no longer be able to encircle it." Although Uesugi Keikatsu felt that there was some truth in what Honda Masatin said, but the loopholes left for the enemy were also obvious, not to mention anything else, with Jinghu's shrewdness, he could see the reality of the coalition army just from the cooking smoke, so he had to say the worry in his heart.
And this is what the retainers of the Gao Shan family want to say, they all feel that the military division is too underestimating the enemy army in the city, if they really do this, I am afraid that their side will usher in a failure.
After hearing such doubts, Honda Masanobu said directly: "Don't worry, Lord Usugi, I only said half of what I said just now, since I dare to use this strategy, I am completely sure, of course, this still requires the cooperation of the Uesugi family." ”
Speaking of this, Honda Masanobu saw that everyone had become serious, so he continued: "This time to transfer the army, the empty matter here is very easy to solve, Lord Esugi, under the need for adults to divide an army of 5,000 people, the first three days, I need this army of 5,000 people to carry the Shibata family two geese gold pattern family pattern by the flag, from the west into our fortifications, wait for night, in the line to leave, the second **** needs this army of five thousand people to carry the knot and do not break the family pattern by the flag into our fortifications, and wait until night, in the line to leave, the third **** These 5,000 people need to carry the three tortoiseshell family crests, enter our fortifications, and do not have to leave after nightfall, in addition, the four family crest flags, horse prints and other things are more prepared, hanging three barricades and wooden fences, and from tomorrow, 5,000 people will be added every day. ”
If the other two military divisions of the Takayama family come, they will definitely not use this strategy, after all, for them, with three thousand ninja troops to help, then there is no need to take risks, they can repel the enemy's reinforcements, yes, it is repulsion, and this is not what Honda Masanobu wants, what he wants is to annihilate the enemy army, this is not only the combined army of Uesugi Jinghu and the Hojo Hao clan in the city, even the Hojo family Shirabi who is coming, Honda Masanobu does not intend to give up, if the other party does not come, then he thinks, since he comes, don't think about leaving.
If it was before, before the arrival of the ninja army, he was not too sure of success, and he just wanted to defeat Kasahara Yasukatsubu, as long as he could not come to the aid of Jinghu, then once the enemy in Kasuga Mountain Castle was eliminated, then he would definitely be a great achievement, but Honda Masanobu loved to take risks, but he would never do anything that put himself in danger, so this was just an idea before the arrival of the ninja army.
And now that the ninja army of the family has felt that it is enough for him to play a big game, his idea is very simple, judging from the movements of the past few days, the enemy in the city now has no heart to counterattack, especially the Hojo family's wealthy army, in addition to the first attack, it also used a little strength, the rest is nothing more than perfunctory, and the real hard work is the Uesugi army under the command of Uesugi Jinghu, and now after learning that reinforcements are coming, I'm afraid that even Uesugi Jinghu himself is not willing to be bored, After all, now the siege fortifications outside the city of Kasuga Mountain have been completed, once the other party attacks, the coalition army can rely on these small bars, wooden fence defense, if the spear ashigaru can not cause too much damage to the enemy, then the archery foot light team under the command of Omiya Jinglian is undoubtedly the scythe of the harvesting enemy, two thousand sharp arrows are shot out in each round, no more, only three rounds, the opponent will collapse, and flee back to the city, although there are not many corpses left, but it has caused great pressure on the enemy's heart, especially those wealthy military forces, The scale of their battles is generally maintained at hundreds of people, and every time they fight, there are only a few ashigaru when the losses are small, and the big losses are only a few dozen, and when facing the bow ashigaru of the main family, if you are unlucky, it is very likely that after a few rounds of salvos, all the ashigaru under your command will be exhausted, not to mention that it is for the Uesugi family, even if it is for the Hojo family, they have enough reasons to work and not work. And reinforcements are their last hope. (To be continued.) )
