Chapter 620: The Battle of Atsu-Shiga (8)
As night fell, Sannomaru had been taken down by the Hosokawa army, and there was still a thick smoke of gunpowder and the bloody smell of death everywhere.
It was used as a temporary base by the Hosokawa Army, and the former army settled here.
As the former general of the army, Hosokawa Smart Pill is also among his military tents, and he is no longer the kind of child who faints when he sees blood. After many wars, he has transformed into a tough and confident leader.
"Lord, this is a map of the city defense, and the hall will let us start the strategy according to the map." As he spoke, Motomasa Asai took out a detailed map of the city's defenses, which was redrawn based on the map by Hattori Homasa.
"Well, let's take a look and think about countermeasures." Senimaru nodded, motioned for Asai Motomasa to unfold the map, and gathered in a circle with the former army generals, looking at the map carefully.
"Winding mountain road! It is the first line of defense that our army is facing! It twists and turns, and at every inflection point there is a jam to block us. The upper curve can also strike at the lower curve, and the enemy's specific means of striking are currently unknown. But as you can imagine, there are bows and arrows, iron cannons, falling rocks, and even... Roasting! At the end, Motomasa Asai swallowed a mouthful of saliva, this roast is the deadliest.
"Well, is that possible... Let the country collapse for artillery attacks? "President Konishi proposed, I have seen the power of the collapse of the country during the day today, which is the biggest killing weapon at present.
"No! The elevation angle of the national collapse is limited, and it is not possible to attack effectively. There are no mountains in the vicinity that are flush with Mt. Atsu-Shiga, so it will be difficult for the follow-up battle to play a role. Shenzi Tian Masaharu shook his head, there are pros and cons to the collapse of the country, and the ammunition he carries is also limited, so he has to keep it for attacking Bentian Mountain City.
"That's... Send ninjas to infiltrate and help you quickly capture the card station! "Hosokawa Miracle Pill now has countless elite ninjas under his command, which is enough to sustain a big battle.
"It's not impossible, when our army storms Kasho, after the surprise attack, quickly open the upward passage, and also reduce the pressure on our army." Motomasa Asai also agreed with the use of ninjas to assist the attack this time.
"It's good, but... We also need to be able to attack the card. As Mr. Asai said earlier, there are many ways to hit the upper curve against the lower curve, and the rest can be dealt with by our army to a greater or lesser extent. But this baking blow... The lethality is too great, and the blow to morale is also very large. Matsunaga Xiu frowned, the advantage of baking was too obvious, and it was this kind of blow that his family was defeated.
"However, we also have roasting, and we can also attack upwards." Miyoshi Yoshitsugu's idea is always very simple.
"Humph! But don't forget about the angle of view! They can see all the tracks of our activities below, and they can carry out targeted defense according to the deployment of our army. On the other hand, we can't see the above situation, even if there is baking, how can you prioritize the destruction of the enemy's baking team? Tokugawa Ieyasu snorted coldly, he was not happy, and he was worried that there was nowhere to sprinkle.
"yes..."Yoshitsugu Miyoshi scratched his head, not hearing the other party's sneering tone at all.
"Attack with earth!" Clever Pill had an idea and thought of a way to crack it.
"Dirt attack?" Yoshitsugu Miyoshi obviously didn't understand how to do it.
Soil attack usually means to directly use soil to fill the opponent's city. The most classic is the Mongolian cavalry attacking the Song Dynasty, for this kind of Mongolian soldiers who are good at fighting immediately and not good at attacking fortifications, the towering city of the Great Song Dynasty is the most headache for them.
Later, they adopted the most primitive method, 100,000 cavalry each carried a bag of sand and threw it under the city wall, and as a result, a dirt mountain could be built in just half a day, and then the army directly entered the city along the earth mountain, slaughtering all the way, and swept the entire Great Song Dynasty.
"It's good, it's just going to be protracted, it's going to be protracted... You can't beat it. It's better to let your subordinates rush again to ensure that the gap is opened! "Akai Naoji is addicted to killing, and such a dangerous battle makes his heart surge.
"Nope! Then the casualties of our army will be too heavy, and in addition... Who said you can't fight a protracted war? I remember the previous siege battles, which lasted for months, or even a year. But since my Hosokawa family attacked the city, there have been few protracted battles, and they are all victories and battles! And it is precisely this kind of habitual thinking that has created the idea that we can no longer fight a protracted war. This is wrong! Senimaru was domineering and criticized them harshly, and everyone listened respectfully with their heads down.
"And this battle! It's about the future of my Hosokawa family! Be cautious and don't let anything go wrong! Until then, my father would rather miss the opportunity than make any mistakes. Why is that? Because war, sometimes just a small mistake can lead to a total loss! ”
"And we... It's just here to discuss how to rush forward, how to capture a stronghold of the Tsugawa family at all costs! This is a big mistake! They could spend a month, if not months, digging traps, setting up ambushes, and fortifying cities! We! Be prepared to conquer them in a few months! ”
"What the young master said is right, the old minister is convinced." Matsunaga Xiu sincerely sighed that at a young age, he had reached the realm of "Mount Tai collapsed in front of him without being surprised, and he was suddenly surprised by it", which is really rare.
"In that case, we should consider it in accordance with this line of thought, and consume the enemy's will and wear down the enemy's strength as much as possible." Motomasa Asai adjusted his strategy at the right time, changing the radical offensive to a conservative offensive.
"Hmm... That's right! We can do this in Sannomaru, and slowly level with each dragon curve! In this case... The collapse of the country can be used! We can hit the enemy, but the enemy can't hit us! "Takigawa's interests suddenly opened up, and the opinions he put forward were very correct.
"Trebuchet! The area occupied by Sannomaru still has certain limitations, no matter how high it is, it is impossible to be flush with the entire mountain, at most it is good to be halfway up the mountain. So... If you can't attack the mountain road above, you can use a catapult! It was built just in time for the earth attack. "Masaharu Mikoda thought of another siege weapon.
"Trebuchet? Are you sure you can make it? Clever Pill couldn't help asking, this trebuchet was still passed from China, and it once shined during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Pity... Because of its great power, the authorities on the winning side were afraid that this sharp weapon would be used by the enemy, so they burned all the schematics of its construction.
Hitherto... More than 200 years have passed, and there are few daimyo places in the Warring States period who can recreate such things.
"Yes! Yes, there is! Miracle Pill pulled out a yellowed roll of old books from his bosom, which detailed the construction of the towed trebuchet.
"It's... Where did it come from? Senimaru looked at his brother in surprise. Still struggling with the latest chapter you can't find?
