Chapter 695: Empty City Strategy
Stompe... Stompe... Hosokawa's army passed through the Abukuma Valley and began to set up camp near Ishibo Town in preparation for the future battle.
"Wise Lord!" Sanada Masayuki led a group of subordinates over, and tonight he and Akechi Mitsutada fought in front, and at the same time set up a formation outside the city to prevent the defenders of the city from attacking at night.
"Oh, it's Sanada-sama, the reserve team has arrived?" Akechi Mitsutada looked back and saw Sanada Masayuki.
"It's all here, and the reserve below is behind you. What's going on in the city? Sanada Masayuki walked to the side by side with Akechi Mitsutada and looked at the dead silence of Bentenyama Castle.
"It's strange to say that there is no reaction in the city, and there is no light at all, it looks like an empty city." Wise Guangzhong said with some doubts.
"Oh? Is it an empty city plan? "Sanada Masashi is full of military books, and naturally he has heard of the empty city plan.
"I don't know, but... Was this helpful? It can't be a trap, right? Wise Guangzhong frowned, he hadn't heard of the empty city plan.
"Whether it's or not, can you just attack it?" Sanada Masayuki knew that if he wanted to probe the truth, he had to attack tentatively.
"But... We were ordered to defend the city and prevent the enemy troops from leaving the city to attack and harass. The lord will be here in a while, why don't you wait and see what the lord means? "Wise Guangzhong doesn't dare to make decisions on his own, it's good to say that if he fails, then the sin will be great, and the guilt of losing this battle can't be escaped.
"Then I'm afraid it's too late, Wise Lord, look, now that the poisonous fog is shrouded in the Otemen Gate, there will definitely be no defenders. And when the lord comes, it must be when the poisonous fog in the valley dissipates, and at that time... The poisonous fog at Otemon will also dissipate, and the enemy will return to the defensive line. Sanada Masayuki tried to persuade Tomomitsu to join him, after all, his reserve team was only 2,000 people, and without follow-up reinforcements, it would be difficult to succeed.
"That's... It's better to gather everyone to discuss..."Wise Guangzhong never dared to make a decision, after all, the siege of the city was too big, and it needed collective action and unified command.
"It's okay, it's abrupt, then I'm going to gather everyone to come over and discuss." Although Sanada Masayuki has some regrets, the two of them belong to the same level, and neither of them has the final decision.
After a while, all the commanders of the reserve who had arrived rushed to the front after receiving the notice.
"This is a great opportunity, you should attack!" Oura is inclined to attack.
"I think it should be stable, we have surrounded Bentian Mountain City, so we are not afraid that he will run away, or we should wait for the situation to be clear." Beehouse Rylong said disapprovingly.
"But... The enemy must have been stunned by the poisonous smoke, so if you don't attack at this time, when will you wait! Kazushi Nakamura shouted.
"No, no, even if they're all poisoned, there's no need to open the door, right? Who knows if it's a trap. Oto Tomotoshi shook his head, the scene in front of him was too weird, a bit like inviting you into the urn.
The rustling sound sounded, arousing the alarm of everyone.
"What people! Password! ”
"Ride the wind!" I saw a few ninjas running from the direction of Bentenyama Castle.
"Is it Sasuke?" Sanada asked, stepping forward.
"Yes! Lord! It's a subordinate! Sarutobi Sasuke walked quickly to Sanada Masayuki and knelt down and saluted.
"Well, what's going on inside? Are there enemies? "It turned out that during the period when Sanada Masayuki was gathering the generals, he sent a powerful ninja into the city to investigate.
"Back to my lord, there is indeed no one in the city, but..."
"But what?" As soon as Sanada Masayuki heard this, he knew that it was not a good thing.
"The subordinates have found a large number of traps ahead, and they are on the way for our army to attack Bentian Mountain City!" Although Sarutobi Sasuke's face was covered by a mask, it could be seen from his eyes that the front was very dangerous.
"Is it a trap? Then it's good to lead the team to rule it out. "When Izuura Shengqing heard it, this kind of work was the most suitable for them to do.
"Not only that, but the surface of the trap is covered with weeds and sand, but it is actually to hide the fire oil in the wooden plank!" Sarutobi Sasuke said this, how similar this scene was, the same as the empty port of Kobe back then.
"What! Kerosene! When everyone heard this, their hairs exploded, but fortunately they did not rush forward, if they stepped into it, they would fly to ashes!
"It's Araki Murashige! After this guy disappeared back then, it turned out that he ran to Tsukawa's house! Sanada Masayuki narrowed his eyes, the events of the year are vivid, it is this sinister guy!
"Is the range large? Is it possible to get around? Wise Guangzhong asked, it turned out that the trap was not inside the city, or outside the city, and their inertial thinking made them almost fall for it.
"No, the scope is very large, and the fire oil underneath is like a moat, completely blocking the path of our army's advance." Sarutobi Sasuke said respectfully, the reason why he came back for so long was because he wasted a lot of time exploring.
"It's no wonder that we use the empty city strategy, if in normal times, we see people defending the city, we will definitely give up the idea of attacking the city. And during the daytime siege, as long as you are careful, you can also find clues. "Sanada Masayuki has figured everything out now, the empty city plan is so famous, how can it be possible to draw a scoop according to the gourd? That's pure death.
Tsugawa Soji used allusions to induce the Hosokawa army to launch a night attack impatiently, which was just right to achieve the purpose of burning the company camp.
"But... There is a question below, how do they know when to light the oil? And how do you ignite the oil? Tsutsui Shunqing touched his big bald head, puzzled.
"The target is so far away that it is difficult to shoot the fire arrow, and even if it hits, the oil is hidden under the splint and cannot be ignited... I think... It could be the collapse of the country! Naito Masanari measured the distance and said with a solemn face.
"What! The country collapses! Could it be said? Everyone was taken aback, and there was a bad speculation.
"That's right, this place must have been targeted by the collapse of the city and the country." "As long as our army enters the city, they will naturally find out that we are trapped, and then open fire..."
"No, the shells don't have explosive elements, so they can't ignite the oil." Shigehide Suzuki shook his head, he was good at large barrels, and knew that after the buckshot came out of the chamber, there was only power, not explosive power.
"That's?" The professionals have said so, and everyone is even more confused about what method the Tsugawa family used to ignite.
"Whatever, since we have discovered it, then we will take the initiative to ignite it, and we can also clear a safe way forward before the war tomorrow!" Hosokawa Haruyuki, as the younger brother of the lord, speaks with great weight, and the method is also simple and violent.
"Well, that's a good idea." "yes, we just set fire to ourselves, which happens to destroy the enemy's trap as well." Everyone agreed.
"Then I'll arrange it next." After that, Izuura Morikiyoshi bowed his body, led the ninja army, and went to destroy the trap...... If you love it, how can you not pay attention to this or the hot online article, and chat about the online article together~
