Chapter 799: Tanbo Strategy III
After Ono Shiyuki replied, he immediately retreated, and began to choose among the flag warrior team, this time he did not choose his original colleagues, let alone the newcomers, but in the original assault ninjas who were merged into the flag book samurai team, although he only had a general understanding of ninjas, but he knew that these ninjas were much stronger than their own peasant-born flag warriors in terms of martial arts and ability, especially for infiltrating the city, but to complete this task, It is not enough to have the ability, but also to have the determination to die, in order not to delay the lord's major affairs because some people are afraid of death, so he unreservedly informed you of the danger of this mission. [ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.]
But what he didn't expect was that none of these ninjas were cowardly, and they all applied, so Ono Minori could only choose fifty people who were not outstanding in appearance and figure among them to complete the task with him.
In the few days of waiting for the enemy to sneak attack the main position, the coalition forces not only did not stop the attack on Yagami Castle, but instead took a very fierce offensive, on the first day, all the Mizuhori on all sides of Yagami Castle were filled in, and after that, several offensives were launched every day, although the battle was fierce, but the Takayama army did not lose anything, which was entirely due to the result of Sakuma Nobumori's blocking.
And the Ashigaru of the Sakuma family not only suffered heavy losses, but even the samurai under his command also killed several people in these days of battle, which is entirely because Sakuma Nobumori was completely disappointed in them that day, aren't you afraid of death, then okay, let you personally lead the army to launch an offensive against Yagami Castle, if you retreat from the battle, it is still difficult to escape death, if you die in battle, then it is considered a well-deserved death.
Sakuma Nobumori thought clearly, if it was because he helped himself to capture the two countries, the Takayama Army suffered too much loss, resulting in the failure of its Kanto strategy, this was definitely the result that Sakuma Nobumori did not want to see, even if he couldn't capture this city, he must not mistake the clan. He is not only the hope of the Takayama family, but also the hope of the Sakuma family, as long as the Takayama family can stand, then the family will also benefit. Therefore, no matter how the clan sect requested, he refused it all.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and as Akai Naomasa thought, the enemy had lost more than a thousand men due to the onslaught of the past few days. And now that the morale is low, and the offensive is getting worse day by day, although the people of the Hatano family are still not relaxed, they have already seen hope, and in this way, I am afraid that the enemy will retreat in half a month.
Of course, it is possible that the troops will be withdrawn today, because the next day is the day when the Hao clan has set an attack on their own formation. At 10 a.m., the coalition forces were still attacking Yagami Castle, but it was difficult to climb the stone wall because there were so many rocks and logs stored in the castle. Even if someone occasionally climbs up, they will be killed by countless sharp arrows. Although the Sakuma army and the Wakasa army are also incarnates, the armor on their bodies is far worse than that of the Takayama army, and although the bamboo bow is poor, it is still easy to shoot them at such a close distance.
Although the defenders of the city had been trained for several years, they rarely fought, so they were still a little raw at the beginning, but after the battle of the past month and a half, they have been reborn. Now it can really be called an elite army.
Seeing that the combat power of the army under his command is getting stronger and stronger, but the enemy's offensive is getting weaker and weaker, Hideji Hatano, who has been worried for several years, finally smiled, this time even if the Takayama clan personally went out, it would be a failure. Who else in the Oda family could take this city? Even if Oda Nobunaga personally led a large army, as long as the family was well prepared, there was probably nothing they could do.
At this time, in the dense bushes a mile away from the coalition army's main formation, 1,700 people were dressed in coarse linen clothes and holding bamboo guns, and less than 200 people were wearing shabby barrels. Wearing hats and spears in their hands, the army was resting in the woods in a scattered manner.
And dozens of meters away from this army, more than 20 helmets and armor, neatly dressed samurai are discussing something, these people include the heads of each family and the samurai under their command, they can be said to be pouring out this time, the reason why they have such an awareness is completely because if this battle is not won, then the family still has no possibility of saving the family business, rather than so that it is better to fight with the enemy, maybe the enemy can really be repulsed.
When they arrived here with their troops, some people proposed to attack the enemy's main position, but Naomasa Ogino, who was the strongest and sent the most troops this time, rejected this proposal, after all, it was just after midnight, and the enemy's physical strength was abundant, so it was not the best time to attack.
Because of its strength, how dare the other wealthy clans disobey, they had to continue to wait, until late in the afternoon, Ogino Naomasa decided to send troops.
However, they did not know that the coalition forces were completely aware of their whereabouts, and were waiting for them to attack.
"Report to the lord, Lord Gaoshan, the detective has received news that the enemy army one mile behind the formation has come towards the main formation, and I ask the lord to decide."
"Got it, immediately ordered someone to prepare to notify the siege army to withdraw."
When Sakuma Nobumori finished speaking, he only heard the Takayama clan say to Ono Minori and the others, who had already disguised themselves: "Whether this battle can succeed or not depends on you waiting, go and prepare." ”
"It's the lord, and the subordinates will definitely live up to the lord's trust." After saying that, the fifty-one people immediately left the formation, ready to blend in with the enemy army.
"Haha, the enemy army is really defenseless, and the meritorious deeds are at this moment, kill me!"
"Those who take down the head of the enemy's main general will be rewarded with fifty yuan, and those who take down the head of the Gaoshan clan will be rewarded with one hundred yuan, and rush with me!"
“……”
The army of nearly 2,000 people was also constantly encouraged by the samurai, and they did not put on any formation, so they rushed towards the main formation of the coalition army.
And Sakuma Nobumori and the Takayama clan, who had already left the camp to watch the battle on the sidelines, couldn't help crying and laughing after hearing this encouragement, could they be so worthless?
Sakuma Nobumori saw that the clan was not satisfied with this, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Is there any dissatisfaction with this Qianbei, the old man has been fighting for decades, and this head is only fifty times. ”
Because in order to keep the Hao clan coalition from seeing the flaws, let them think that the coalition did not guess that they would suddenly attack, so whether it was Sakuma Nobumori, Takayama clan or Wakasa The three did not inform their troops of this matter, let alone make arrangements for this, this is entirely because the clan thought that the suspicion of Hatano Hideji was too heavy, if the family had been prepared, once he heard these Hao clans talk about the war situation, he would inevitably think that since the family had been prepared, then with the strength of the coalition army, he wanted to wipe out all the forces of these Hao clans, It's completely easy, why would they let them come to him, even if he didn't plan it, he would think he had a plan, so it would be difficult to enter the city, so in order to win the Eight Upper City, everything had to be true.
Sure enough, the sudden attack caused a slight confusion among the more than 1,000 troops in the main formation, but at this moment, the troops behind the main formation were all high mountain troops, so they were only taken aback for a moment, and immediately fought with the enemy under the leadership of the samurai.
Because the samurai knew that they had a strategy, they led the troops under their command to be very measured, and they just kept leading their subordinates to rush around in the middle of the already scattered enemies, scattering all the enemies, and creating conditions for Ono Minoru and others. And basically don't go to war with local samurai, after all, if you miss and kill too many samurai, then in the case of no one to command, these ashigaru are afraid that the commander will scatter and flee, and even if someone goes to Yagami Castle, because there is no samurai to lead, Hatano Hideji will never open the door and let them in, so they can avoid it, and they can hide if they can, and they have never experienced such an aggrieved battle, but there is no way who will let this be the lord's order, who dares to disobey the lord's order.
But not to mention, there is really one person who dares to disobey the order, this person is none other than Maeda Keiji, the commander of the Huang Bei Qiben samurai team, he didn't really have the intention to disobey, but as soon as he saw the enemy, he was a little unable to hold back, I saw that he only led dozens of Qiben samurai, and rushed to where there were many enemies, and once the enemy was killed, he immediately led people to continue to rush to the place where there were many enemies, as if he was afraid that the enemy would run away.
And because Qimoto Wushi didn't know about this strategy, he was also ruthless. After nearly 100 enemy troops were killed, Maeda Keiji looked around, and under this look, he immediately became excited, not far from him before, nearly 100 people were gathering together to fight with their own family, and these 100 people were different from the peasant soldiers who had just been killed, they all had armor on them, although they were the worst barrel and river pockets, but this was enough to prove their identity.
"Don't get entangled with those peasants anymore, quick, let's go and kill those ashigaru groups." Maeda Keiji immediately stopped his army and chased after those peasant soldiers, but led them towards the front of more than 100 ashikatsu.
"Haha, I'm Keiji Maeda, the general of the Takayama family, and I'm here to take the life of the dog." Keiji Maeda was like being beaten with chicken blood at this moment, screaming over and over again, waving the sword in his hand.
Although these ashigaru under the command of the Hao clan are much more elite than the peasant soldiers, how can they compare with the military strength of the Takayama family, especially with the killing god of Maeda Keiji, so more than ten people fell in an instant, and as soon as these more than ten people fell, the remaining ashigaru did not have the courage to fight again, and only cared about running towards the place where there were many people on his side. This means that the Hao Clan Alliance still has a certain advantage, otherwise they will only flee outside the formation.
It doesn't matter if they run like this, and Naomasa Ogino, who is protected by these ashigaru surrounds, has to face Keiji Maeda directly.
Although there are still several samurai and more than twenty banners around him at this moment, Ogino Naomasa also knows that he may not be able to escape death today. (To be continued.) )xh118
