143rd Attack, Kishire-gun 1
However, he made people recruit literate people, that is, dog-headed military advisors. There weren't many applicants in Matsuura County, but there was a steady stream of applicants from the surrounding counties.
Cai Dao has been screening these kobold military advisors for the past few days. It's a pity that resourceful people like Yoshishige Satake and Jubei Kuroda didn't see it. Therefore, he assigned some of those who could speak Sinicization to his subordinates, and the others to other officers.
After all, except for Takagi and Fujiwara Lanling, no one else is Wawen, and even Hanwen doesn't know a few. It's really hard for them to get them to write. With the assistance of these people, the matter of military training has been invisibly accelerated a lot.
By the way, there is another guy who surprised Cai Dao, and that is the butcher named Pork Balls. This guy not only survived the siege, but also made a small contribution, and was actually appointed as the squadron leader of a squadron by Takagi. For this time, Cai Dao did not intervene. Meritorious service must be rewarded, which is one of his principles in employing people.
During this period, there was no longer a force in Hizen Province that took the initiative to surrender to Cai Dao like Koshi-gun. Although they did not dare to take the initiative to attack Takagi County, many forces still held the remnants of the Matsuura family in their hands, and there was no need to ask, they all had the idea of waiting for Cai Dao to leave, and then work together to defeat Takagi and seize Takagi County.
In this regard, Cai Dao did not send people to persuade these forces to surrender, and those who could not see the situation clearly were bound to pay the price.
To be honest, if the city sent by Xiaocheng County was not a female city lord, Cai Daozhen would not want to accept her surrender. This is because he did not intend to let these local forces continue to exist in the first place.
What's more, the remnants of the Matsuura family are the best excuse for Cai Dao to continue to send troops until the entire Hizen country is attacked. Those fools really think of the remnants as treasures.
……
By the end of the fifteenth day, Takagi had finally ended his recruitment in Nagasaki and rushed back to Takagi Castle.
Cai Dao's subordinates roughly estimated that in the full fifteen days, plus the 800 people originally recruited in Nagasaki, the servant army now gathered in Takagi County has reached more than 10,000 people. This may be less than the number of people entrapped by a homeless rebellion in the Great Song Kingdom. However, this is a Japanese country! With so many troops, it was enough to shake the emperor's rule.
It's a pity that Takagi understands that Cai Dao, the new master, is not here.
That night, Cai Dao immediately gathered all his generals together. Originally, he did not intend to listen to anyone's opinions, but directly arranged the manpower and targets required for the medium-term plan on the spot, and prepared to announce the division of troops to attack the three countries that would begin tomorrow.
Unexpectedly, Fujiwara Lanling, who has never liked to talk, was the first to stand up and put forward his thoughts: "My lord, before you divide the troops, you should choose another opponent with more weight, and let everyone try the results of their own training." Everyone acts together, firstly, it can have a deterrent effect, and secondly, everyone can feel for themselves how to lead the troops to fight. Author's recommendation: Campus master
Fujiwara Lanling's words undoubtedly disrupted his plans, but Cai Dao did not blame him. Because what he said was true, without experience in siege, the siege battle demonstrated by Cai Dao himself could not be an example at all. Whoever really wants to do what he did to siege the city must be killed in a pit.
Fujiwara Lanling They didn't know about gunpowder, Tiezhu and Gouzi knew, but Cai Dao really didn't worry about letting the two of them use this method, and if it didn't work, the enemy didn't hurt them, but blew up their own people.
Don't look at the beginning, Cai Dao seemed so calm when he captured Songpu City, in fact, his heart was also hanging at that time. Without a fuse and ignition device, no one can guarantee that the ignition of gunpowder is 100% safe.
He touched his small chin with his little hand, thought about it seriously, and then asked, "Your suggestion is good." However, do you have a goal in mind for the object of this attack?
Here, I will first talk about my two conditions,
First, the target must be in the country of Hizen, close to it, and it is easy for the troops to assemble, so that the battle can be fast and stable, and the start is fast, and the end will not be slow;
Second, the opponent's strength must be stronger, if the strength is too weak, and the defending city is just a formation house, your suggestion is still invalid. Because we already have more than 10,000 troops, even if we gather the soldiers under the other sub-national forces in the entire Kyushu Island, we will definitely not reach this number.
An opponent who was too weak not only failed to play a role in training, but also wasted my precious time. ”
"My lord, my target has already been chosen, which is Fujiwara Michinobu of Kishi County, he is Fujiwara Nobu's elder brother. As far as I know, Matsuura Castle is known as the strongest castle in Kyushu, but it is only the strongest city wall. According to the detailed investigation in front, there are not many troops in the city. However, if we want to talk about the dangerous terrain, it is this fortress city, which is built on a mountain and surrounded by mountains on three sides. My lord, I beg you to allow me to be the commander-in-chief, and I will take the castle within three days. ”
As soon as Fujiwara Lanling finished speaking, Taketaro who was on the side hurriedly added: "My lord, Lord Lanling is not wrong. The number of troops in Jifu Castle is very small, and it is still a strategic point that connects the former and the southern parts of the country. For the sake of your plans, you should also take the county first. Your Excellency, you can order Takagi-sama to lead the other officers, as long as the forces of the other forces are garrisoned. Lord Lanling will lead your subordinates and head straight to Jiyan City. After that, it is up to you to decide who will build the former and future kingdoms. ”
"Hmmm! So decide! Li Dahu, before capturing Jifu Castle, you and your men must obey the command of Fujiwara Lanling. Immediately after taking the castle, you lead your troops to capture the Tsukuzen Kingdom. Lanling, after which you will be responsible for conquering the country of Zhugo. After Cai Dao finished speaking, he stared at Fujiwara Lanling thoughtfully.
This guy took the initiative to attack Kishijun so actively this time, and the defender of the city was surnamed Fujiwara, it seems that Fujiwara Lanling still has a certain connection with this Fujiwara Michinobu. It's just that I don't know what kind of big grudge there is between this guy and that Fujiwara Michishin, which can make the always calm Fujiwara Lanling make such a big determination.
"No!" Fujiwara replied.
Cai Dao turned his gaze to Takagi again, and ordered: "Takagi, you send someone to inform the city lord of Xiaocheng County overnight, so that she can send troops to respond, and block the generals of the forces along the way for us." Tell her that you just need to block it, and you don't need her to be directly involved in the attack. I will definitely arrange a good site for her in the future. ”
Takagi saluted Cai Dao and said without worry: "My lord, UU Reading Books Directly attacking Kihan County is still too risky. It would have to go directly through her territory, and in between, it would have to pass through Saga County, Kanzaki County, Sane County and Adoptive Father County. This road is full of dangers, in case she pretends to surrender, not only notifying the forces along the way, but also cutting off our back road behind, what can we do? ”
"It's okay, Lanling, when attacking Jiyan County, bring plenty of food, don't rush to attack, just keep the speed of the march. I'm not on the battlefield, so don't remotely control your actions. Do you have the confidence to take the county in one fell swoop? ”
"My lord, ten out of ten." Fujiwara Lanling reverted to his style of speaking that cherished words like gold.
"That's good. However, I still want to tell you one more thing, personal enmity is a small matter, but the seizure of a city is a big matter. If the situation is unfavorable, there is no need to hold on, you can break through to the north, and I will send a warship to meet you when the time comes. As for Takagi, your doubts can be put in your stomach. If the lord of Xiaocheng County knew the current affairs, I would have placed her well, but if she was double-faced, the sea force in my hands would not be vegetarian. The small town is also a coastal county. ”
After Cai Dao finished giving the order, he didn't forget to instruct his two subordinates again: "Tiezhu and dog, even after the city is broken, you must listen to his command." Be careful on the road. "These two boys have really big hearts, none of Cai Dao's subordinates, except for these two people, plan to participate in this war.
If the two of them wanted to be the overlords of the dominant side, Cai Dao wouldn't mind letting them lead the troops into battle. However, these two fools were actually preparing to attack the city in order to snatch the beauties.
……
Early the next morning, Fujiwara Lanling beat the drums and gathered the generals, ordered the people and horses directly, brought enough food, and went straight to the city.
