Chapter 380 Preparations

The Hida Etsuchu Corps training ground is located five miles outside the castle.

The location here is very remote, and it was specially opened up as a place for Li Xiao's standing training.

The C-O practice process in the school field is strictly confidential, and there are light guards at the intersections around the school to prevent any students from approaching.

Nearby mountain people only heard the sound of roaring explosions in the mountains all day long.

Successive commands were heard, rustling footsteps sounded, and the queues seen on the school field were neatly arranged like sliced tofu.

On the most observable hill in the school field, Li Xiao, as well as his retainers Fujido Takahu, Tsuchiya Masatsune, Ariyama Torada, Kano Hideji, Shioka Kazuha, Ozo Chang'an, and Usami Nami stood on the top of the hill and watched the five standing C-O practices.

In the face of Li Xiao's inquiry, Dazang Chang'an replied: "Returning to the lord, the island lord of the county has been hoarding military rations in accordance with the lord's designation, and in the past two years, his subordinates have also acted in secret, and from time to time the military rations of Hida have been transferred to the county for reserves, and the military rations in the county are now enough for the six thousand army to fight for three months, and in the middle of this year, grain can also be transported to the county. ”

Li Xiao laughed when he heard this, and said, "Dazang, you did a good job. How are the streets from the city to the county being built? The important thing is whether the large cylinder prepared by the large cylinder can be passed? ”

In the face of Li Xiao's appreciation, Dazang Chang'an was overjoyed in his heart, and continued to reply: "My lord, the year before last, the construction of the castle was completed, the section of Kamioka Castle, as for the section from Kamiokanda Castle to Sakura D-Ng Castle, which is nearing completion, and the section from Sakura D-ng Castle to Gujo Hachiman Castle ......"

Li Xiao's face sank and asked, "Why hasn't this section continued?" ”

Dazang Chang'an sighed and said: "It is already being built, but the labor is not enough." His Majesty asked the lord for permission to issue a general request to the people of the county and Hida in March to carry out construction. ”

Li Xiao hesitated after hearing this, because he had already canceled the service of the common people in the collar and hired the people to work instead.

Danshi must be in power at the moment.

Li Xiaoyan said: "March is the busy time for farming, and if the general service is issued, it is easy to delay the production of the people. ”

The treasurer said: "My lord, you don't have to worry about this, last year's Hida, the county's Y-rice harvest was very good, and the people's families were very rich in grain stockpiling. If the employer hires him, they will not object, and we will still pay according to the work. ”

Li Xiao listened and nodded, since the introduction of Y-meter, although the surface height of Hida is 38,000 stones, the actual inner height has reached nearly 60,000 stones, and the county reclaimed a section of the experimental land last year to plant Y-meters, and the effect is also very good.

The people live a prosperous life, Li Xiao's prestige in the territory is high, and the people's hearts are consolidated.

Li Xiaoyan said: "Since this is the case, everything is according to what you say." ”

At this time, Fujido Takatora said, "If the lord prepares the road from Hida to the prefecture, will the Oda family be suspicious of our dispatch of troops to the prefecture?" ”

Li Xiao smiled: "It's okay, if we don't do anything in the county, it will make the Oda family suspicious." ”

After inquiring about Chang'an, Li Xiao raised the monocular Qianli tube in his hand again and observed the C-O practice on his school field.

At this time, the joint drill of the five standing teams, yijing began.

The reason why the joint exercise was carried out was precisely to prepare for the future war, and Li Xiao wanted to use this drill to cooperate with the C-O artillery and infantry and cavalry arms.

Li Xiao knew that his move was absolutely epoch-making, and he applied this tactic to Japan's Warring States period fifty years ahead of Gustav II.

Rui Costa, along with his large gear, was at the back of the array.

He first commanded his dozen m-n straight sh-guns, directed the imaginary enemy position, and began shelling.

After a burst of gunsmoke, Kamioka, Snake Tail, Banner Benbei, and the combination of iron cannon ashigaru and spear ashigaru began to slowly move forward.

After that, the reserves arranged in the western phalanx began to take turns to attack forward with iron artillery.

In the end, the cavalry led by Tsuchiya Masatsune attacked the enemy from both flanks.

This is exactly the way the Swedish army swept across Europe that year, which can be summed up as first bombarded with artillery, then with iron cannons, spearmen to defend in strong formations, and finally put in cavalry for counter-charge.

However, after Li Xiao looked at it for a while, he put down the monocular Qianli cylinder quite unhappily.

When the generals saw Li Xiaozhi's expression, they all knew that Li Xiao was very dissatisfied with the performance of this C-O practice. …,

Li Xiao first looked at Youshan Huding, and said: "Huding, there are too many recruits in the snake tail preparation, and they don't cooperate with each other, so they are fighting, and the iron cannon is light and even the basic SH-attack discipline has not been completed. ”

Youshan Huding listened to Li Xiaozhi's reprimand, and immediately sweated profusely.

Since Kinoshita Hidenaga served as the castle generation of Matsukura Castle, after knowing the 20,000 territory, the other party became the general of the snake tail preparation.

Because when Kinoshita Hidecho left, he took away a hundred people from Snake Tail Preparation, and as a direct samurai, there were many new recruits in Snake Tail Preparation, and his combat strength was not complete.

There is no way to do this, after all, the C-O practice of the Western Formation is not a rush.

Immediately, Li Xiao turned his head to the others, and said: "I am very dissatisfied with the coordination of the infantry and artillery cavalry, there are leaks everywhere, you must know that this time we sent troops to the county, we are facing not any previous opponents, but the Oda army that swept through the ten countries and defeated the 40,000 army of Imagawa Yoshimoto in the narrow room. The main force of the Oda Army, like our army, is standing and must not be underestimated. ”

After listening to Li Xiao's reprimand, the generals were all terrified.

"From today onwards, you need to practice C-O seriously, and I will come back in a month to review your results, and Xiwang will not disappoint me again."

When the generals had heard this, they all knelt down and received the command.

After speaking, Li Xiao took Shigang Yiyu, led more than ten lives to approach, and rode away.

After leaving the school field, Li Xiao let his horse go, thinking all the way, in fact, as the first joint operation, the cooperation of multiple arms, it is natural for there to be such and such mistakes.

He just scolded his subordinates, but he was just diligent and diligent.

After all, Li Xiao's national strength was not as good as Sweden at that time, and when Gustav II trained his troops, he could do it in one step, and at the beginning, he could achieve C-O training infantry and artillery coordination.

In contrast, Li Xiao's large barrel and horse riding equipment were formed relatively late, and they have been in the battle for the past few years, and the troops have been damaged, and the fresh blood "liquid" has been replenished one after another, and it takes a long time to re-run.

Therefore, the C-O practice of infantry and artillery coordination has been delayed.

It is now March of the third year of the Yuan Turtle, and there is still half a year before the battle of Shangluo of Takeda Shingen in history, and Li Xiao must train his standing to be strong enough before this.

When waiting for the battle of Shangluo, he must play the role of an unexpected surprise soldier, affect the overall situation and fight for enough luck for the Takeda family.

Otherwise, if the trend of the Nagashino battle continues, the Takeda family will still be defeated.

Of course, before Li Xiao and Takeda Shinxuan sent troops to the county, they planned and arranged the overall situation from the beginning, and they secretly transported grain to the county and hoarded armaments as preparations two years ago.

At present, everything is secretly planned, ready to go, just waiting for the decisive battle in Shangluo half a year later.
