Chapter 525: Be prepared
- -Remember!
Muto Shunxiu saw that Omiya Jinglian refused, and did not give up, and continued to persuade: "Omiya-sama, Takayama-sama did say that he would not let me wait to fight hard with the enemy, but he did not let me wait to attack, besides, this time the army is just taking advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to go to steal the city, it is not a hard fight at all, even if you see Takayama-sama, you will definitely not be blamed, and, once the Shinguishan Castle is captured, then you and I can definitely be regarded as a great achievement, and an opportunity like this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Is it just that adults are going to give up so lightly? ”
After listening to Omiya Jinglian, he was somewhat moved, but he knew that the army of the Matsunaga army was elite, and if he changed to another family, he would do it, but this Matsunaga family was extraordinary, in case it was prepared, although it would not be wiped out, but the loss was inevitable, and as long as it was prepared, and there was a city to defend, although the army of the family was many, it was not necessarily necessary to capture this city-./-./-Remember!
Thinking of this, I only heard him speak: "Lord Muto has not fought with the Matsunaga army, I'm afraid it's not clear, the strength of the Matsunaga family is not comparable to those peasant soldiers at all, so even if there are many troops in the family, it is not so simple to take the city, so I think it is better to remember this matter in the long run." ”
For Omiya Jingren's words, Muto Shunxiu didn't take it too seriously at all, the elite of the Matsunaga Army, he had heard of it somewhat, but in his opinion, even if the Matsunaga Army was elite, it could still be stronger than the Oda Army, not to mention that the strength of the army was several times stronger than the defenders in the city, not to mention a sneak attack, even if it was a frontal attack, it was not difficult to take the city, so this Omiya Jingren was not stupid by Lord Takayama, and the merit was indifferent in front of him, so what else did he rely on to promote his status. It is even more impossible to gain knowledge and action.
Since he doesn't want it, he doesn't force it. In this way, the credit can be won by oneself.
Thinking of this, I only heard Muto Shunxiu speak: "Since the adults are unwilling, then I don't force it, but I don't want to give up such a great opportunity outside, so I have to raise hundreds of troops and go to capture the city." After saying this, I saw him stand up, and he was about to leave the big tent and set out with his whole army.
"Lord Muto, this matter is very important. My lord did not intend to take the city. The main purpose is to lure the Matsunaga army back to help, in case it destroys my lord's plan, the consequences are very serious, and please don't be impulsive. ”
Muto Shunxiu saw that Omiya Jingren was still going to stop him, and said unhappily: "Hmph." Omiya-sama, this time out of the army, although Takayama-sama is not to say who is the main general, but the Oda army under the command of the Oda army has 900 people, and there are only 100 bows under the command of the lord, so the main general should have been my responsibility, and now I have decided to sneak attack Shinguiyama Castle, and I will bear all the consequences, so you don't need to say more--remember! Leave! ”
After speaking. Muto Shunxiu didn't give Omiya Keiren a chance to speak again, turned around and walked towards the outside of the big tent.
And Omiya Jingren couldn't persuade Muto Shunxiu at all, so he didn't want to say anything more and let him leave.
"Report, two adults, the Oda army of hundreds of ashigaru to attack Shinguiyama Castle. Please prepare as soon as possible. ”
"Among them, can there be the Gaoshan Clan?"
Ever since Kusunoki Masatora and Oka Kunitaka learned that the Oda army was attacking, they had been directing the defense in the Yashiki near the castle walls. And when they heard that the Oda Army had come, both of them stood up violently, and Nanmu Zhenghu hurriedly asked.
"Back to Nanmu-sama, there are about 100 enemies, but in this army, I don't see the Takayama family horse print, and Ashigaru also carries the Oda family papaya pattern back flag."
After hearing this, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, since the Takayama clan is not there, and there is no Takayama army among them, then there is no need to worry too much, although the Oda army is also elite, but it is worse than the main army, so it should not be difficult to borrow the city wall and want to hold this city. …,
I only heard Nanmu Zhenghu speak: "Okay, I know the way, you continue to investigate, if there is any situation, come and report immediately." ”
After the elite flag book left, he only heard Nanmu Masatoshi open his mouth and analyze: "Lord Oka, I think that the Oda army came to attack late at night, and it must be trying to attack the city by taking advantage of the night. ”
"What Kusunoki Lord said is, then let's hurry up and arrange defense, the Oda military camp is not far from here, if you don't prepare as soon as possible, then I'm afraid there will be a little bit of a hurry."
After hearing this, Nanmu Zhenghu smiled and said: "Lord Oka-sama is a little calm, I think that even if this city is defended, if the Oda army is not hurt, then the second, third, or even more attacks, how should the family defend it?" Even if the lord returned to the reinforcements immediately after receiving the news, it would take at least two days, and these two days were enough for the Oda army to break the city. ”
"Defense can't do it either, so what else can Nanmu-sama do? Oh! I'm really anxious. ”
Kusunoki Masatoshi knew that he was a rough man, so he took his impatience to heart, and continued: "Lord Okama, I think that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the enemy to come and steal the city.
If at this time, the Lord led an army to ambush outside the city, and when the enemy attacked, he suddenly led the army to attack the enemy's army, then the enemy was difficult to take care of, and it was bound to be defeated, so that not only could the Oda army be severely damaged, but also the morale of its army, as long as the opponent's morale was low, then under the defense of you and me and 200 elites, the enemy had no possibility of capturing the city in two days. This is the foolish opinion below, and I don't know what adults think. ”
"Okay, good, good, when the Oda army first arrived, Zai Xia said that he wanted to go out of the army, and now since it was proposed by the adults, it couldn't be better, and he applied to lead a hundred troops out of the city to ambush." I only heard Oka Guogao say excitedly.
"A hundred sergeants seem to be a little less, I think it is better for the adults to bring a hundred and fifty troops, after all, the enemy has hundreds of people, if the army is less, if the effect is not achieved, but let the Oda army surround it, then it will be all over.
Don't forget, my lord, although the Oda army is not as powerful as the army, it is also enough to be called elite, which is not comparable to those peasant soldiers. Nanmu Zhenghu did not forget to remind him after the last.
Although Oka Guotaka hoped that the more troops under his command would be as strong as possible, if he really took 150 ashigaru, then the defenders of the city would only be 50 people, and the enemy would be hundreds of people, 50 people......
"Lord Nanmu, the strength of the defending army is weak, in case something goes wrong, then with only the strength of the two hundred troops under your command and me, there is no possibility of recapturing the city, this is really too dangerous, please think twice."
"So everything can only be asked to the adult, if the enemy launches a fierce attack as soon as he comes up, he can only hold on to a pillar of incense at most with fifty percent lightness, so success or failure depends on whether the adult can grasp the opportunity."
After listening to this, Oka Taigao didn't say much, but nodded heavily.
The Oda family camp is three miles away from the castle of Shinguiyama, which is not close, but it is definitely not far, but it is enough for the Matsunaga army to prepare.
Muto Shunhide led the 900 Oda army to the castle, looking in the direction of the city wall, only the torches on the watchtower were still lit, with the help of the firelight, you can vaguely see the Matsunaga army Ashigaru above is leaning on the wooden fence and dozing, while the rest of the place is pitch black.
Muto Shunxiu couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw this, the enemy's defense was so lax, he led his troops to be less than 200 meters away from the city, and the enemy didn't find it, I am afraid that with only one attack, Xingui Mountain Castle can be easily captured. …,
He couldn't help but think of Omiya Jinglian again, and couldn't help but say, it's good that he didn't listen to him, otherwise this great achievement would have been missed in vain.
Seeing that the troops under his command had been lined up, Muto Shunxiu no longer hesitated, pulled out the sword at his waist, and shouted: "Xingui Mountain City is in front of you, attack!" As the words fell, I saw him rushing to the front, and the Oda family's nine hundred ashigaru followed.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack, go and inform Kusunok-sama that the Oda army is attacking."
There is no need for Ashigaru to report, Kusunoki Masato, since sending away Oka Guotaka and one hundred and fifty Ashigaru, has not left the city wall.
The Oda Army's every move had long been seen by him, and when he saw the Oda Army attacking, he hurriedly said loudly: "Hurry up and stop the enemy army." ”
As soon as his voice fell, he saw dozens of elite ashigaru wearing armor and spears in their hands leap to their feet, although there were few people, but the movements in their hands were neatly one, and a row of three-meter-long spears pointed straight out of the city.
Seeing this, Muto Shunxiu couldn't help but be slightly surprised, he didn't expect the enemy to be prepared, but this only made him a little surprised, although the defenders in the city were prepared, but the number was only a few dozen, and he would send a large army of nearly a thousand, in the face of absolute strength, how could the enemy block the sharp attack of the Oda family.
Therefore, he had no intention of giving the order to stop the attack, let alone divide his troops to attack the other three walls, and in his opinion, even if it was hard-hitting, it could be used to capture the city with small losses.
However, it was precisely because of his self-righteousness that this city that could have been taken disappeared again.
As soon as the Oda army led by Muto Shunhide fought with the defenders of the city, Oka Kunitaka, who was in ambush not far from the city, wanted to lead the army to kill, but when he saw that although the Oda army had begun to attack the city, due to the large number of people, the army behind was not separated, and if he attacked now, then it would be easy to fall into the enemy's heavy encirclement with only the more than 100 people under his command.
So he didn't dare to gamble, the bet won to nothing, once he lost, then Xingui Mountain City would definitely not be able to keep it, such a bet was too big, Oka Guogao really couldn't afford it.
Fortunately, although the Oda family's attack was fierce, for a while, because the formation was not opened, the defenders in the city could still support it, so Oka Guogao could still hold his breath. (Your support on this site is my biggest motivation.) )-
