103, the enemy current (below)

“…… Tell me, is there a crazier strategy than this? After telling the story of my ignorance, Ikeda eagerly sought support.

"Young people are certainly courageous, but they still need to be cautious when marching and fighting!" Niwa Nagahide looked at me and said with a worried expression. "With your experience and achievements, I shouldn't have talked too much, but because you have today's influence, you have to think twice before acting!"

"What His Highness Niwa said is very true, but I don't think prudence necessarily means not being able to stick to it!" I can't say anything that I already know about Oda Nobunaga's thoughts, but I can show that I am close to his strategic views. "Rigid defense can only give the power of choice to the opponent, and dynamic defense is the best policy! In today's situation, the Takeda Army's field combat capability is much better than ours, but it does not mean that it is beneficial to them at all times and places......"

"Smack!" At this time, Hideyoshi Hashiba slapped me on the shoulder, startling me a lot. "It's still your star brother, and I am in the same mind! What Takeda Akabei, what is the best in the world, I don't believe it! This 'first' will be surnamed Takeda for the rest of his life? As long as the lord orders it, even if it is only you as a companion, I will be on it! He patted me on the shoulder excitedly as he spoke, but his eyes were not as feverish as before, but with a strange look.

"Oh! Good ......" I dodged his hand and understood one thing: this "monkey" also saw Oda Nobunaga's strategy! Since he started preparing from Gibu, it means that Oda Nobunaga's idea has already been decided, and no matter how much he persuades, it will be in vain. It's just that a few questions that I can't figure out right now are, is this Kuroda's credit or does he see it himself? Was he genuinely confident or did he have other plans? Did he really not communicate with Oda Nobunaga beforehand? You must know that the Takenaka Hanbei also came up with this method after I gave a little hint, but at that time we did not have the information that Oda Nobunaga brought a wooden stake. However, to this day, Hanbei is still a little worried, worried that Takeda Katsuyori will be so "cooperative".

"You? You guys! Niwa Nagahide is a little anxious, the consequences of the "mistake" I made with Hashiba Hideyoshi are absolutely serious, and now Oda Nobunaga is still "surprised" from time to time! "Since both of you have this opinion, there is naturally some truth, but I implore you two not to rush forward before the full plan is considered mature!" That's all he could say in the end.

"The meeting begins, and your Excellency enters!" At this time, the duty officer standing at the door of the hall solemnly announced.

As the flow of people inside, Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu were already sitting side by side on the main seat, which was not a common situation, and he usually asked others to wait. I saw a rare laid-back look on his face, just as it had been before the barrel saga.

"Ladies and gentlemen! There have been discussions about strategy for a few days now, so today I would like to announce a few things...... "Seeing that everyone was seated, Oda Nobunaga entered the countdown without passing the motions. "First of all, the battlefield to meet the Takeda Army is chosen in Yuanjiang, and we will not retreat from now on!"

There was a buzz in the house, and the focus of the debate that had been debated a few days ago was actually set by Oda Nobunaga, which was exactly the joy of a few families and the sorrow of a few families. I saw several people open their mouths, as if they were trying to make a final effort.

"That's all for this, I don't want to hear anything else!" Oda Nobunaga blocked the door tightly, and the people had to swallow back their words very hard.

"Your Highness the Right General! For the grace of your life and the virtue of reinvention of you and all of you, I will not be able to repay Tokugawa Ieyasu even if I die......" Tokugawa Ieyasu showed enough gratitude that I could even see his tears. I'm afraid that no one can guess his true intentions, and the evaluation of him by the "monkey" in history is that he can be trusted and honest. "In this battle with the Takeda Army, Ieyasu is willing to lead the Samurai of Mikawa under his command as the forerunner, and His Royal Highness the Right General Wanwang will allow it!"

"His Royal Highness Sanhe Shou is worthy of being the descendant of the Qingkang Gong, and he is brave enough to be the first!" Oda Nobunaga looked very happy, he said that he was a great achievement, and if he didn't listen to Nobunaga, he was crazy! Finally, I wanted to make an amazing move this time, so I naturally hoped that someone would cheer me up. "But we'll talk about the details later, and I'm going to talk about the second thing!" Oda Nobunaga turned back, and the muscles on his face became vertical lines again. "I plan to leave a few troops to defend the city, and the rest of the army will advance and have a decisive battle with the Takeda army!"

"Buzz!" This sound was several times louder than just now, and even the faces of those who were secretly happy just now changed. Directly facing the impact of the Takeda cavalry, Oda Nobunaga is not sick, right? No one spoke for a moment about such a big event, because they didn't know how to talk about this outcome. Ikeda Tsuneko and Hidemasa Hori looked like they had been stuffed with a whole duck egg in their mouths, and their brains looked like they were in a vacuum. In addition to being excited and excited, I could tell that he was trying to suppress himself and keep himself waiting; I happened to catch a glimpse of Niwa Nagahide, but his eyes were complicated and weird, a little helpless, a little disappointed, a little painful, and a little complaining and angry when he looked at me and the "monkey". It seems that he is suspecting that we have used some despicable means to exert an extremely "negative" influence on Oda Nobunaga, where does this start!

"It's great that people can have this kind of united attitude! As long as we maintain such a state of mind, then there is nothing to be afraid of even if we are enemies of ghosts and gods......" Everyone was speechless for a while, and Oda Nobunaga interpreted it like this, and I don't know whether he was unintentional or intentional. "Let's discuss the details again, I'm going to preset the battlefield in ......"

"My lord, can you think about it again!" Niwa Nagahide couldn't help but open his mouth, and many people cast grateful glances at him, even though they themselves didn't have the courage to do so for various reasons. "Considering the conditions in all aspects, we seem to be ......"

"The situation is urgent, only war is essential!" Oda Nobunaga interrupted Niwa Nagahide's words in an unquestioning tone, probably feeling the need to give Niwa a face, so he added: "If there are any personal opinions that need to be considered or discussed, you can wait until this battle is over, and there will be plenty of time at that time!" ”

"This ...... Be! Niwa Nagahide had no choice but to reserve his opinion, but what was the need to discuss and consider it after the fight?

"About this battlefield ......" After clearing the obstacles, Oda Nobunaga began to announce his plans.

"Military intelligence! Emergency military intelligence! At this time, an attendant came in in a panic to report.

"Someone is going to give you a gift!" Hearing this, Oda Nobunaga also became nervous all of a sudden.

"Back to the lord, His Royal Highness the right general!" A horse-scouting knight of the Tokugawa family was brought in. "This morning, the main team of the Takeda Army left Iris Mountain and began to move south, and only about 2,000 men continued to besiege Nagashino......"

"Where did they go?!" Oda Nobunaga couldn't wait for his "meticulousness", so he straightened up with the dwarf in front of him and asked sharply.

"We are currently heading towards Kiyoi Tawara, where we may camp tonight. In addition, the vanguard of the Takeda Army has gone far, and Kiyoi Tahara should not be the end of this operation, and it is expected to arrive in Shirakuhara at noon tomorrow! ”

"Shirakuhara...... Shirakuhara ......" Oda Nobunaga muttered and sat back in place, his eyes seemingly astigmatizing. "Hah! Ha! Ha! In a moment, he burst out laughing three times, as crazy and morbid as he could.

For a while, everyone looked sideways, and I am afraid that it is even more true that he has a mental problem that is being rumored.

"God help me!" Oda Nobunaga roared and slammed his fist on the low table in front of him. "I've always been optimistic about this place in Shirakuhara, and there's no better place for a decisive battle than here! Not only is the terrain narrow, so you can concentrate your forces to increase the depth of the position, but there is also a Lianzichuan in front of you to block it, and the impact power of the cavalry of the Takeda Army will be greatly reduced! I didn't expect this kid Takeda Katsuyori to be so knowledgeable that he actually took the initiative to put his neck under my knife......" Oda Nobunaga became more and more excited the more he spoke, as if victory had already been taken in his hand.

Most people don't know what this Shirakuhara is about, and where Renzigawa is, but it seems that Oda Nobunaga has done a detailed investigation, and seeing that he is so confident, he should be somewhat sure. But most of them were not equal to all, and several Tokugawa generals frowned.

"His Royal Highness the Right General, the foreign minister has a feeling in return...... "Under Tokugawa Ieyasu's repeated instructions, Honda Masanobu wanted to give Oda Nobunaga a wake-up call, and saw that he had the opportunity to breathe halfway through. Although the terrain of Shirakuhara is narrow, it is high in the east and low in the west, so our army will be in a disadvantageous position for this battle, and the Takeda army is condescending to be able to exert the power of cavalry! This year, the weather is dry and shallow, and the deepest part of the Lianzi River is only one foot, which may not be able to cause much trouble to the Takeda army. The foreign minister dared to put forward a suggestion, and I hope that His Royal Highness the Right General will consider it: our army will line up in Arikaihara, where we can give full play to the numerical advantage, and use several soldiers and horses to pretend to be reinforcements rushing to Nagashino Castle to advance alternately, and lead the Takeda main formation to a decisive battle here! At that time, our army waited for work at ease......"

"You don't have to say it, I know all this!" Oda Nobunaga had already made up his mind, and he would not listen to anyone anymore. "The land on both sides of the Lianzi River is dry due to drought and shallow water, and our army will rush in advance to dig three trenches and set up a fence to reject horses! At that time, our army transferred all the iron artillery teams to the front line and killed Takeda Chibei on the outside of the fence. It didn't matter if the enemy broke through one or two lanes, our troops retreated to the fence behind them through the gangplanks on the trenches, and the Takeda army had to slow down because they had to pass through the first fence, which provided our iron artillery with another opportunity to fire. Time is pressing, I ordered you to wait for the detachment to set off at two o'clock in the afternoon, and go to Shirakuyuan to build fortifications, and I will send orders to inform each team of the garrison positions later! The key to this battle lies in the iron cannon, and each team should hurry up and prepare! ”

"Obey!" At this point, everyone had to answer the order, but most people were still suspicious of this whimsical and wishful thinking.

"Smack!" Suddenly, I heard a very small voice, and when I turned my head to look, I saw a few cold stars flashing in the hazy sky. Oda Nobunaga wants to use an iron cannon to rain all the time, and it's still enough to "point" it!
