Chapter 497: Chaos on the Riverbank (6)
The only thing that the clan needs to consider now is how to hold out until the arrival of the Oda family's army in the event that the Miyoshi army attacks the castle after the castle is captured
Sanada Masayuki seems to have guessed the clan's thoughts, and he had made mistakes before, and now is an opportunity to make amends, of course he doesn't want to miss it.
So I only heard him open his mouth and ask tentatively: "Is the lord sad about how to defend this city after capturing the island city?" ”
The clan didn't want to hide the thoughts in his heart, and now when he heard Sanada Masayuki speak, he couldn't help but hurriedly asked: "Well, that's true, it's not difficult to capture this city, but after capturing the city, how to defend it is a problem, I don't know if Gengoro has any solution?" ”
Sanada Masashi is fortunate that there is also no very good way, in front of the enemy, who is several times, or even more than ten times the strength of his own army, any strategy is useless, no matter what strategy you use, as long as the enemy commands the army to attack the city from all sides, then all plans will come to naught.
Of course, if the main hall leads the army to kill the west bank, and after defeating the Miyoshi army, directly chase the Miyoshi family to defeat the army, then don't worry, the enemy will definitely not dare to delay time outside the city of Kojima, but will the main hall really do this, obviously not.
Although the army of the Oda family crossed the Seta River, the grain and grass were still on the east bank, and the army had already fought a big battle and was already tired, so such a wise person in the main hall would not have ventured into the army.
Therefore, the army of the Oda family cannot be counted on, and now it can only be done on its own.
Sanada Masayuki asked a question when he saw the lord. I had to shake my head first, but I didn't stop there, I just heard him say next: "Lord, the battle situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. Therefore, even if it is set now, the battle situation will not necessarily develop towards the strategy of fixing the good, although the subordinates have not been able to think of a way now, but the subordinates are willing to go to the island city with the army, and the subordinates promise that as long as the subordinates are still there, they will never let the enemy take a step beyond the thunder pool. Please also ask for the grace of the Lord. ”
The clan knew that Sanada Masayuki wanted to go to the front line to command, completely because he wanted to borrow the time to make up for the previous strategic failure, but in the eyes of the clan. There is no need for him to do this at all, let alone Sanada Masayuki, who has just come out, even if he is not without making mistakes in the country, and no one can guarantee that he will not make mistakes in this life.
Besides, his previous advice was not wrong at all. It's just that he is too cautious and takes the enemy too seriously. ^//^
And as the enemies that the family will face become stronger and stronger, the people who are cautious in such a way are what the family needs most.
When faced with Shingen Takeda, or Kenshin Uesugi. His character will definitely be fully developed.
Sanada Masayuki is not to blame for this failure, but only to blame Miyoshi Yoshitsugu for not being of enough grade. Even if the other party is still in power like the original, Yumatsunaga Shu is in power. Nor will it be.
However, now Sanada Masayuki has proposed that if he does not agree, he will definitely think that he has lost confidence in him, and he will not even give him a chance, so in order to strengthen Sanada Masayuki's confidence, he can only agree to his suggestion.
And although Wasuka Masakatsu is both civil and military, and Mizuse Uemon is complementary, how can he be as good as Sanada Masayuki in terms of resourcefulness, so if he goes to command, he can indeed rest assured.
Thinking of this, I only heard the clan sect speak: "Okay, since this is the case, I order you to be fully responsible for commanding the battle of Tsushima City." ”
Sanada Masayuki was overjoyed after hearing this, and the lord did not refuse, which proves that the lord still values himself very much, and the lord also puts himself in charge of full command, rather than giving advice as a military advisor, which is enough to prove that the lord still trusts himself, and this time he must behave well in whatever he says, and if the three good troops do not attack, if not, he must also defend the city. …,
Thinking of this, I only heard Sanada Masayuki answer: "Please rest assured that your subordinates will live up to the trust of your lord." After saying that, Sanada Masayuki began to think about the strategy while waiting for the lord to arrange the military situation.
I only heard the clan sect open his mouth again and said: "Wasuka Masakatsu, Mizuse Uemon!" ”
"Subordinates are waiting!"
"I now order the two of you to lead the ninja army under your command to follow Gengoro to capture the island city, you two must obey Gengoro in this battle, there must be no mistakes!"
"It's the lord, and his subordinates will obey the arrangement of the military advisor."
In the blink of an eye, there were only 300 people left in the 1,000 troops brought by the Gaoshan Clan, and among these 300 troops, there were still 200 banners under the command of Ichishiki Fuji Chang and three others.
After seeing that the Takayama clan clan had answered three battle orders in a row and sent almost all the troops under his command out of the country, they couldn't help but feel a little regretful, and they began to think that the Takayama clan wanted to take them away, so they casually ordered a city for the three of them to lead the army to attack, but now it is not the case, the Takayama clan does not matter about attacking Kawaguchi Castle, and the island castle and Seta Kawayama castle are not spared.
Now it is obvious that they are living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and they have now completely understood that their failure to attack Kawaguchi Castle this time is definitely the biggest mistake.
What a good opportunity for expansion this is, they just gave it up, and they all knew in their hearts that even if Oda Nobunaga helped the lord restore his old domain, there would definitely not be too much territory transferred to the lord.
Although this Kawaguchi Castle is small, it is the gateway to Atago County, as long as this city is captured, then he will take advantage of the chaos to mobilize the army in the territory, then several cities in this county, and tens of thousands of stones, will not all become the general's family.
At that time, the territory transferred by the Oda family at home will be the same as the land under his own rule, and the territory controlled by the Ashikaga family will be on par with the previous one, and he will become the greatest hero of the shogun's family.
But I actually missed it like this, this is really undeserved, but even if I regret it now, what is the use, the three armies under the command of the Gaoshan clan have already set off, don't think about face first, even if you wait for others to apply now, it will be too late.
And this Gaoshan Clan's arrangement made it clear that the center of the strategy was placed on the three cities, and now that he was by his side, I was afraid that he would only have to drink soup.
When Isshiki Fujicho and the other three thought of this, all that was left in their hearts was repentance.
Sure enough, as they thought, the clan sect really didn't pay much attention to the battle situation in front of him now, but if he was allowed to stay idle like this, it wouldn't be.
When the three armies of the Takayama family moved away, it was not long before the Oda family's more than 10,000 troops had crossed the center of the Seta River and joined the former army led by Shibata Katsuie.
The combat power of the 4,000 troops of the Miyoshi family can only be comparable to the less than 3,000 troops led by Shibata Katsuie, and now that the Oda army is pressed on the whole line, how can they resist it.
Although Miyoshi Masaysu and Iwanari Tomotsu, who are still at war with the Shibata Katsu family, have now gained the upper hand, when they see that the Oda army has launched a full-scale attack, the 4,000 troops of the Oda family may not be able to support it for long, and there are several samurai of the Oda family who are rushing to their side.
The two of them knew in their hearts that if they didn't get out of contact, they were afraid that they would be besieged by the Oda samurai, and a Shibata Katsuya would basically have a draw with the two of them, if the other party was in a few people, then he would undoubtedly be defeated, and when the time came, there would be Oda samurai on all sides, and he would really have no way to enter the ground, so if he still wanted to save his dignity and life, he had to quickly break away from the battle with the Shibata Katsu family while the family's army was still struggling to support. …,
Thinking of this, when the two of them attacked a move together, they couldn't help but glance at each other, and then nodded slightly imperceptibly, the two of them had been fighting together for more than 20 years beforehand, so although neither side spoke, but they knew what the other party meant.
And Shibata Katsuya didn't pay much attention to the small action of the two, although he was at a disadvantage now, but the more this happened, the more excited Shibata Katsuya became.
Since he fought on his own, there are too few opponents who can make him serious, and the opponents who can be defeated in just a few moves really make him not interested.
And now, although he is fighting the other two alone, but even so, it is rare that the two of them can suppress themselves together, so Shibata Katsuya rarely concentrates all his energy, not to mention the eye contact of the other two, even if the Oda family army has been killed, he has not found out.
And when he stabbed again to block the attack of the other party, he originally thought that the other party would continue to attack as he did just now, so he subconsciously continued to put on a defensive posture, but what he didn't expect was that after the other party launched the attack, he did not continue to attack, but after withdrawing, he didn't even say a word, pulled out the horse and left.
When Shibata Katsuya was on the rise at the moment, he suddenly saw the other party leaving, and he couldn't help but be stunned at first, which really surprised him, even Shibata Katsuie, who was used to seeing big scenes, was a little overwhelmed.
The other party is also a famous samurai in the world, and retreating without even making a move is really against the spirit of bushido, and their behavior is not worthy of their reputation.
Just when Shibata Katsuya was stunned, Iwasari Tomotsu and Miyoshi Masaysu had already run out of a few meters and flashed into the ashigaru under his command, obviously not wanting to fight with Shibata Katsuya anymore, even if Shibata Katsuya chased after him now, it was in vain.
And just when Shibata Katsuya came to his senses and cursed, he saw that several samurai such as Sasa Narumasa and Hidetaka Kawajiri, who had come to help, had also come to Shibata Katsuya, and when they saw that the two samurai had retreated, they did not leave immediately, and each led his subordinates to attack the enemy from here.
