Chapter 82: Stealing the Heights

"My lord, the situation is not in our favor right now!" Sasa Naruma put down the bow and arrow in his hand and swung his right arm.

As he said, the men and horses on both sides have been chaotic, and only one of the three warbands has touched the enemy head-on, leaving only the forest regiment struggling to support the melee of the other two sides. Counting the armament, the arrows of the Lin regiment did not exceed 30, and the iron artillery reserves were estimated to be only 50 and not more than 100. The three-day war made it difficult for them to replenish their military resources, and they planned to continue fighting after grabbing Mt. Inaba, but looking at the situation, most of them had already destroyed their arsenals.

And the corps as infantry cavalry does not need to be replenished, but what about the forest regiments? They are really struggling to support the advance of Minong's two sides now, and the mountain group is still in the rescue, so they don't have time to spare a gap to help. They don't know what happened to the three hundred people in the city, but they can only watch the situation in front of them.

"Chengzheng, you keep an eye on it, and if you advance from the east and south, you will fight back, don't care about the consumption of materials. As long as we can withstand them, once we have time to come out, we will definitely move back to the situation! I'll take a look at the progress now! It's raining, and it should be hard for the fire to rise! Guo Jia turned around and left, the situation is still unstable, Oda Jun's palms and backs are full of meat, and he has not yet given up any of his thoughts.

"It's Lord Guo Jia!" The rain washed down the faces of the crowd, and they anxiously cleared the obstacles to open the way to the Inabayama castle tower.

"How's it going? Is there any news! Guo Jia asked directly.

I saw thousands of people lining up in front of the collapsed city gate, and they kept carrying out pieces of broken wood and stone from the inside to the outside, and the outermost was Hidetaka Kawajiri.

"Master Guo Jia doesn't have to worry, the people of the fire group are still alive, but the casualties are a little bigger."

"How long will it take you? The situation outside is a bit unoptimistic! Guo Jia nodded.

"I don't know, the fire in the city tower was controlled by the heavy rain, and now it's time to save people, if it doesn't work, I'll let some of the mountain groups go out first?" Kawajiri Hidetaka shook his head, the gate of the Inabayama castle tower is very high, about four or five meters, and most of them are built of stone, this blasting caused the gate to collapse, in which the wood and stone are intertwined to form such an obstacle, of course, violent cleanup is possible, but it may cause a second collapse, and if there are survivors inside the wall, if they smash them, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"That's it, move faster." What Hidetaka Kawajiri said is not a way, the mountain group is full of more than 2,000 people, and of course there are not many people who have been divided, so it is better to wait for them to clean up this place for the sake of this little benefit!

After saying that, Guo Jia turned around and left, the war was tense, and he couldn't leave the battlefield for a long time. When he returned to the gate of Inabayama, he saw that Lin Tuan had released another rain of arrows, and it seemed that Mino continued to advance.

"My lord, we won't be able to stop for long. The enemy's archers were about to go into range. Zuo Zuo Chengzheng looked at Guo Jia who came over and said anxiously.

"By the way, have you ever heard of a straw boat borrowing arrows?" At this time, Guo Jia had an idea, and thought of a plan of the wise general of the ancient Three Kingdoms.

"Nope." Zuo Zuo Chengzheng shook his head, not to mention the battlefield borrowed arrows, how could this grass-made boat float on the water?

"In the past, there was a great resourcefulness in the Central Plains, far away on the other side of the ocean, and he used men made of straw to swagger along the river in a thick fog, and then his enemies fired arrows at these ships, and in a short time he borrowed a lot of arrows from his enemies." Guo Jia shook his head and explained helplessly.

His intention was to make the soldiers retreat and then stab the Mino soldiers and release arrows into the city, and then they would attack them with these arrows, just as the Mino men attacked them with iron cannons they bought from Guo Jia.

So Guo Jia relayed his thoughts to Zuo Zuo Chengzheng to discuss the feasibility of this plan, but what he didn't expect was that Zuo Zuo Chengzheng refuted him.

"My lord, don't say it, our Lin Regiment is trying its best to resist Mino's advance, once they retreat into Inabayama Castle, their heavy armor soldiers will definitely take this opportunity to surround and kill the fire regiment, and besides, it doesn't take time to borrow arrows, and when we take the arrows, Minong's soldiers will already surround the fire regiment and be impassable, how will the forest regiment release arrows to support it at that time?" Although Zuo Zuo Chengzheng was lit up by Guo Jia's plan just said, he was more clear than Guo Jia's situation on the battlefield after a long time of battle, and each of his reasons caused Guo Jia to ponder for a while.

Yes, this is really going to the battlefield, and it's not a game, the enemy will be stupid to walk into Guo Jia's trap, and everyone is the same, the rain of arrows is released, and the Mino army will be hit by the arrows Oda Army will also be, how can there be any ability to avoid friendly damage, unless everyone in this forest group is a top archery master.

"Tsk! It's that I think less! Guo Jia nodded, agreed with Zuo Zuo Chengzheng's statement, and then began to ask himself how to fight the enemy.

"Guo Jia, do you remember Li Dai Taozhuang?" Maybe he felt the difficulty of this matter, and the voice of Bonghyo in his body mocked.

"Li Dai Tao stiff? Do you mean to ask me to abandon the soldiers trapped in the castle tower and let the mountain regiment fight? Guo Jia asked himself about the feasibility of this approach.

"It's a battlefield, and you've seen it with your own eyes, and it's not a simulation game. What should be discarded is still discarded. And don't ask me, I'm you, isn't my idea your idea? Feng Xiao's voice was full of mockery, and the heart-wrenching words hit Guo Jia's chest.

"No, I'm not going to give up my soldiers!" Guo Jia ignored Feng Xiao's voice and immediately began to think of a better way.

"Don't pretend, don't you have another plan already available?" Bong Hyo said his last words before being blocked by Guo Jia.

That's right, in the previous layout, he had asked Takigawa Kazui to inform the Ink Mata Thunder Regiment to attack other cities in Mino, and this was Guo Jialiu's trick to surround Wei and save Zhao.

"Stealing the high ground? How can it be that simple! Guo Jia sneered after thinking clearly. If Mino was fighting head-on, he might also use the three regiments of the Wind and Fire Forest to fight with one of them, but the people were sneak attacking, and they completely pinched Guo Jia's handle, and the Wind Regiment was forced by the frontal archers to be unable to use their hands and feet, and the Fire Regiment confronted the regiment with the largest number of people, and the Lin Regiment reduced its military resources through several battles. It seems that this ambush and sneak attack should be the handiwork of the half-guards.

"That's it, Cheng Zheng. How many arrows are there in the forest group. What about the Iron Artillery Department? Guo Jia wants to reconfirm the status of military resources, to be honest, he used to sing all the way like divine help, but now he is deflated in this little Meinong, which makes him really uncomfortable.

"The archers should have about twenty arrows, and they should have a lot of them in the Iron Artillery Department." Sazuo Chengzheng has been staring at the development of the battlefield, and he knows the state of the forest regiment best.

"Where's Takigawa Kazuki?" Guo Jia thought about it and planned to use his own layout to solve the game.

"The subordinates are here." Takigawa Kazuki, who has been tense behind his back, suddenly appeared.

"Are you done?"

"I informed the people of the Yin Group, I didn't see the letter falcon, I guess they were advancing on foot." Takigawa Yiyi knew what Guo Jia was talking about and immediately replied.

"Okay, you go over there now to find Maeda Toshiya and tell him to let the wind and fire groups withdraw!" A plan to save Zhao from Wei is feasible, but it requires the cooperation of Meinong's army.

First of all, if there is no accident, the thunder regiment should receive the news soon, if they will attack the Mino Castle at the earliest, the battle report will come at night, and the most important thing is that the Mino army will not withdraw its troops, and this battle is actually a blitzkrieg, the state of the forest regiment is too poor, even if the mountain regiment support arrives, it will lose its attack power because there are no arrows, which is equivalent to saying that the Oda army only has three regiments of the wind volcano against the enemy, although they are elites, but Guo Jiake will not let them pay too much price. So he decided to turn this blitzkrieg into a tough battle. Didn't you let Inabayama out, then I'll defend you and attack it!

"But my lord, I'm not by your side, in case ......" Three years ago, Guo Jia was seriously injured here and almost died, and three years later, Takikawa Yiyi was afraid that Guo Jia would go to the battlefield at will, and once he didn't protect himself, it would be over!

"But what, go and come back quickly!" Guo Jia didn't let him continue, signaling him to move quickly.

"Yes, sir!" Takigawa Yiyi saw that Guo Jia was saying an order, so he didn't want to argue, so he should hurry up and find Maeda Toshi's house and say that he would come back quickly to continue to protect Guo Jia.

"Sasa Narimasa, now stop firing arrows and prepare to withdraw to Inabayama Castle." Guo Jia's order startled Zuo Zuo Chengzheng.

"I'm not a stubborn person, and you heard the order to evacuate the wheal. We're now in a long battle with Mino. Guo Jia then explained his thoughts to Zuo Zuo Chengzheng in detail, so as not to make him feel that he was the kind of person who did not listen to advice.

"But my lord, once they return to the mine-defense regiment, they may all be wiped out!" Zuo Zuo Chengzheng thought about it and felt that Guo Jia's idea was good, but he was still a little uneasy.

"Don't worry, when they return to defense, we will fight all the way, and their archers will definitely have a hard time when the mountain is in front. And once an offensive formation is formed, the archers are definitely in the rear camp, and once they show a tendency to retreat, we will chase them out and fight! When the enemy advances, I retreat, and when the enemy is tired, I fight. Guo Jia had no choice but to continue to persuade Zuo Zuo Chengzheng, and in desperation, Zuo Zuo Chengzheng also obeyed Guo Jia's orders.

"Li Jiajun! Lord Guo Jia ordered Fenghuo to retreat! Takigawa Kazuyi, who found Maeda Toshi's family, kept repeating these words, but Maeda Toshiya fought the enemy like a demon and didn't pay any attention to Takigawa Kazuyi's words.

"Damn it! Did you kill the red eye? Takigawa Kazuyi frowned, and a Mino soldier who approached him died in front of him, with a sword in his neck.

"Sober me up!" Takigawa Yiyi couldn't stand it anymore, and directly jumped over to the front of the Toshiya on tiptoe, ready to wake up this general with a punch.

In an instant, the cold light shone, and Maeda Toshiie's spear was like a dragon's claws tearing at Takigawa Kazuyi's throat. I saw a flash of the sword, a clang, a shuriken, and a shuriken blocked the spear head that came to attack!

"Huh? Takigawa Kazuyi, what are you doing here to protect Lord Guo Jia? Maeda Toshiya saw that the visitor was puzzled and asked.

"Bastard! Lord Guo Jia ordered the wind and fire to retreat to Inabashan! After Takikawa Yiyi finished speaking, he turned his head and left towards Inabayama. He wanted to return to Guo Jia as soon as possible to protect him.

"Retreat?" Hearing his voice, Maeda Toshiya instantly took out a horn and blew it in one breath, and it was indeed the unique withdrawal call of the Oda Army that responded to him.
