Chapter 40: Striking the Grass and Startling the Snake
On this day, Guo Jia and the others had already returned to the ancient wild city, but he did not go back to his home to visit Guidie, but went directly to the barracks to wake up the soldiers who were still sleeping.
At this time, the generals of the ancient wild city were already waiting here, and they were sitting in the camp and staggering, and they could make up for a little more sleep.
"Wake up!"
It wasn't until Guo Jia walked into the camp that they found themselves awake.
"Sober up." Guo Jiake stayed up all night, and he basically didn't have a trace of sleepiness because of horseback riding.
"Your Excellency is back!"
"Your Excellency!"
"Alright, pack up and get ready for battle." Guo Jia's eyelids drooped and his voice was serious.
"My lord, are we going to attack Narumi Castle?" Shibata Katsuie knew about Guo Jia's plan not long ago, but he, like the other generals, didn't know that Guo Jia had changed his plan.
"No, let's go to Inuyama Castle."
"Huh? What the! Could it be that Lord Nobuyuki has betrayed? Shibata Katsuya was stunned, he knew that his original master, Oda Nobuyuki, was the lord of Inuyama Castle, but he didn't think why this cowardly master would have the courage to rebel!
"It's more serious than that, let's not talk about it, it's time to go." Guo Jia shook his head, now if they set off for the afternoon, they can reach Inuyama City, but if they waste any more time, then they will be in trouble. Yoshimoto Imagawa will never stop his pace.
"Let's give you a mission. Mission-wide missions. Guo Jia smiled, now is to hurry up and go to Inuyama City to make preparations.
"The end will be." The day before yesterday, the Li family stood up, and he was already fully armed!
"You lead Qi Qi like the wind to go to Inuyama Castle one step ahead of us, and then look for the whereabouts of the Imagawa army in the east of Inuyama Castle, let them see you after finding it, and then try to have some skirmishes to lead them to Inuyama Castle."
"My lord, aren't we going to startle the snake?"
"That's right, all I want is to scare the snake."
Guo Jia smiled, now the specific location of Imagawa Yoshimoto is not clear, it is roughly eighty miles of Inuyama. And now as a traitor, where Matsudaira Motoyasu is, Guo Jia is also unclear, so Guo Jia has no choice but to let the wind wheal go to find it, and then scare the snake to make Imagawa Yoshimoto suspicious.
"Good!" Maeda Toshiya is a person who is brave but not resourceful, and if he continues to lead Qi Qi like the wind, there will definitely be problems. This regiment is not meant to be used for head-on confrontation.
Every country has a so-called cavalry team, and this cavalry team will rush into the battlefield to fight people, and most of the use is to flank and harass the enemy, and the opponent is almost always infantry. Therefore, for the army of the Oda family, Qi Qi is as fast as the wind is more useful, this team is in the center of the five attack groups, the speed is the fastest, and the attack ability and defense are relatively low, so Guo Jia must use some means to let Maeda Toshiya learn some content.
"If you don't move like a mountain, stay here, to be honest, I'm not at ease......" Guo Jia's eyes skimmed to the north, and everyone had a bottom in their hearts. Guo Jia is now worried about the garrison from this Meinong country.
"Aggression is like fire and its Xu Rulin, let's set off towards Inuyama now." After Guo Jia left a garrison legion, he brought about 5,000 troops with him.
Today's military battle group has undergone a lot of changes, except for the newly established dynamic and unpredictable.
Guo Jia of the Thunder Shock Regiment did not intend to let them go to the frontal battlefield, this regiment is now understaffed, and Guo Jia's intention is to train this into a legion that can destroy the enemy's interior. And it is difficult to know that as Guo Jia's means of obtaining intelligence, they don't need to go to the battlefield, this legion composed entirely of ninjas, its battlefield combat effectiveness is low.
The other four regiments were different, and the four regiments of the Wind Volcanic Forest could engage the enemy head-on. The speed of the wind group, the long-range suppression of the forest group, the offensive nature of the fire group, and the defensive ability of the mountain group all rubbed a terrifying spark after a series of reactions.
Coupled with Guo Jia's allocation of a large amount of money and financial resources to the army, these four legions are not comparable to the kind of bewitching sluts who only have the number of people. The equipment of each member of the four regiments was carefully selected by Guo Jia and others, and they all had their own characteristics. In order to establish such a powerful army, Guo Jia almost emptied the treasury of Owari, and now let alone others, even this supreme commander of Owari only earns ten yuan a month, and twenty stone is only high. But it's in this mode that Owari has a feared army.
The sun predicts time, he walked towards the west of the sky step by step, he witnessed two stages, one is that it went to the center and found that Guo Jia's Qi Qi Qi Qi was like the wind and had come into contact with the advance of the Imagawa army, and the second was that when he was about to go home to sleep, Guo Jia's army rushed to Inuyama Castle and violently suppressed Inuyama Castle.
"General, there is a crowd of figures in front of us!"
"See, where are their banners?"
"The Suruga banner of Toe."
"Good! Touch the enemy to attack! ”
With Maeda Toshiie's order, Qi rushed like a wind ball and launched the first round of attack on the Yuanjiang army, which was still marching.
When they rushed into the enemy line, they found out what Yuanjiang's forces were like. A man with a green light in his eyes stared at the movement of Qi as fast as the wind, and his self-contained defense method actually cut off the pace of the wheal. And the Yuanjiang army, which discovered the enemy's attack, instantly formed an encirclement network, intending to eat all the wheals.
"Break through and retreat towards Inuyama." Maeda Toshiie realized that he had a problem and hurriedly ordered the wreak to retreat, but fortunately, his decision was more accurate, and if he continued to fight here, the wreckage would inevitably be wiped out.
Now there is only one way, and that is to hope that the speed of the wheal will quickly go to Inuyama Castle.
"My lord, a thousand-strong cavalry team just now attacked our Chinese army! The family crest is the Oda family. ”
"Motonobu Okabe, Motonobu Okabe. Now how can you quibble that you have not betrayed! Imagawa Yoshimoto thought to himself, if it wasn't for this person, why would the Oda family know about their movements.
"The Oda family! Guo Jia! I have ordered the army to be prepared, and we must be prepared to face the Oda army head-on. We've got here, and we're ready to go! Tonight we will defeat the Oda army and take Inuyama Castle! ”
Orders were passed from top to bottom, and the dense army regrouped and boosted morale, and this 15,000-strong army was about to contact Guo Jiana's 5,000-strong army. It is unknown who wins and who loses, Guo Jia is a person who can create miracles.
"General! The place where we attacked was the Imagawa Army's Suruga Corps, the Imagawa Army's Mikawa Corps was led to the north, and the Imagawa Army's main team was to the south! ”
"I know, retreat now! Towards the position of the Mikawa Army, which happened to be in the direction of Inuyama. ”
"Understood!"
At the same time, the Mikawa Army, led by Matsudaira Motoyasu, which was responding to the siege of Imagawa Yoshimoto, also had its own careful thoughts.
"Pull the formation, a long snake surrounds them!"
"My lord, our defenses will be weaker, and we may be rushed out by them."
"Humph! Everyone is cavalry, we are all infantry, you compare speed with them? ”
"But my lord!"
"Say no more!"
Matsudaira Motoyasu is already Guo Jia's ally, so if he makes some small moves, he will do his best.
The same Matsudaira Motoyasu said well, Qi is as fast as the wind can indeed break through before the siege network is formed, but in doing so, the archers in the Imagawa army's main army area will not let them go. Once Imagawa Yoshimoto discovers that the northern encirclement network is too slow to close, it will definitely cause the archers to disrupt Qi's swift movement. It is better to let your forces be damaged and your allies to retreat.
"Lord Lijia! The three-river encirclement network in the north is taking shape! ”
"Charge!"
In this way, under the harmony of Maeda Toshiie and Matsudaira Motoyasu, they smoothly broke out of the encirclement network like the wind, not only that, but Matsudaira Motoyasu did not withdraw the large formation after they broke out of the encirclement, but directly blocked the follow-up of the Imagawa army.
Just such a chaotic formation made the Imagawa army unable to act, and this is how it brought time to Guo Jia.
"Why would Guo Jia let such a cavalry regiment attack suddenly? And there is no follow-up support, isn't he afraid of committing a military taboo! Wrong. Guo Jia, he is going to commit this taboo! ”
Matsudaira Motoyasu's brain was like a flying lightning, carefully figuring out his own thoughts.
"Matsudaira Motoyasu, do you know what you're doing?"
After stopping the march for so long, Imagawa Yoshimoto also realized that something was wrong, and now he even wanted to suspect this hostage.
"Lord Yoshimoto!" Matsudaira Motoyasu plucked up the courage and shouted out directly, pretending to be a loyal minister.
"Lord Yoshimoto! Haven't you wondered where that pair of troops came from? ”
"Isn't it the Oda Army! Are you afraid of them? ”
"Lord Yoshimoto! It was true that the Oda army did not have to run, but why they would attack us directly and why we knew where we were? ”
"Humph! Matsudaira Motoyasu: I'm telling you, don't come here to play your little Jiujiu. Yuanjiang doesn't need you to point fingers! ”
"Lord Yoshimoto! Then can you think about why Guo Jia knew about our movements, but instead of ambushing us, he wanted to attack with cavalry! Aren't they afraid of startling the snake? Do you think that someone who can defeat the Katsuyama clan will make such a mistake? ”
Matsudaira Motoyasu grew up with Guo Jia since he was a child, of course, he knows what this Guo Jia thinks, although the specifics are unknown, but this Guo Jia has been doing things since he was a child, so the most important thing now is to drag Imagawa Yoshimoto.
"Huh? Damn it! The whole army was stationed in place. Damn it! Matsudaira Motoyasu: What do you think about this, Guo Jia! ”
"My lord, the minister may not speak so well."
"It's okay, just say it." For the first time, Imagawa Yoshimoto looked at this man who had grown up as a hostage, and his heart changed for the first time. This man seems to be really loyal to himself!
"Lord Yoshimoto, you've been deceived! You've been tricked! ”
"Huh? What do you mean by that? ”
"Lord Yiyuan, why do you think Guo Jia sent this cavalry regiment to attack us, maybe his purpose is to provoke us and then walk into the trap he designed step by step!"
In this barracks, compared to the strength of talking nonsense with his eyes open, Matsudaira Motoyasu dares to say that he is second, and no one can say that he is the first.
"Do you have any ideas?"
"My lord, we don't know the situation ahead now, I suggest that we send someone to find out, otherwise it will be too late to fall into the trap of the Oda family!"
"Good!" Imagawa Yoshimoto directly agreed, and he now also thought that Guo Jia's behavior would definitely not be to startle the snakes, but to lead them into a trap.
In this way, Matsudaira Motoyasu bought a large part of Guo Jia's time, and when Guo Jia's remaining two regiments arrived at Inuyama Castle, the Imagawa army did not enter the territory of Inuyama's thirty miles.
