"The lord must have seen woodpeckers eat insects."

Chop the chicken and talk,

"The woodpecker strikes on the back of the tree and waits for the worm to come out on the front of the tree...... If this method of warfare is used in warfare...... The general situation is divided into two routes, and the Einsatzgruppen goes around behind the enemy to carry out a surprise attack, while the team guards the danger and waits for work, whether it is to ambush the enemy, or to flank and surround the enemy with the Einsatzgruppen, it is a feasible method. In this case, the enemy army can be broken between the palms. ”

With Yamamoto's explanation, Harunobu and the generals suddenly realized that they were amazed at the cleverness of this strategy.

But there are also those who have a different opinion:

"When fighting in battle, it is taboo to divide troops, if the enemy sees through the movements of the Einsatzgruppen and breaks through each one, wouldn't it be lifting a stone to shoot oneself in the foot?"

Although this is a pessimistic statement, his concern is not unreasonable, and Yamamoto Kansuke saw with one eye that the person who said this was Takeda Nobuyoshige.

"What the Warden said was true...... However, as I said earlier, there will be heavy fog in the Kawanaka Island area tonight. As long as the fog is thick, it is impossible for the Einsatzgruppen to be discovered by the Uesugi army. ”

"Sa! We've come to my senses! ”

Takeda Harunobu cleared his throat and made a decision,

"The soldiers are divided into two routes, marching in a roundabout way with a special team, going around to the back of Mt. Tsumime to attack the Uesugi army at night, forcing the Uesugi army to retreat to Kawanakajima, and I will personally lead the team to ambush in Hachimangahara and wait for Uesugi Teruhu to enter the hub!"

"Hai, the lord is wise!"

The battle plan of the Takeda army was thus finalized, and in the evening, the western sky appeared with a scene of burning clouds, and Takeda Harunobu and Yamamoto Kansuke went to the castle to watch.

"Who can be free from dust when the heroes of ancient times come? Only sigh that the jade skin is cute, the red powder is not applied, and the smug is merry. ”

Yamamoto Kansuke himself can't compose poetry, but it doesn't prevent him from appreciating it, and after smacking Harunobu's improvised poems, he can't help but praise:

"It's so wet, it's so wet, the lord is really a lewd hand and it's so wet."

"In that case, let's take this as my last sentence."

Harunobu looked at the sunset on the horizon with a smile, but Kansuke Yamamoto's heart "chuckled" and had a hint of foreboding.

Thereupon...... Harunobu Takeda, the death flag is raised.

"Don't worry, the lord will definitely defend you to the death."

Gurgle again...... Kansuke Yamamoto, the death flag is raised.

At the same time, on the mountain of his wife and daughter, Sister Uesugi also stood on the top of the mountain with Sasa Seimasa to watch the sunset.

The sunset is indeed beautiful, but the sunset is the sunset, and the sunset is, in essence, a beautiful beauty that has no practical meaning.

Therefore...... No matter how beautiful the sunset is, it is useless, because Sasa Narumasa is not a photographer.

"My lord...... We have run out of food, and we are left with only today's dinner and tomorrow's breakfast. ”

"Hmm...... I know. ”

Sister Uesugi seems to be extremely attached to the sunset, and she can't take her eyes off the masa.

"So what...... It's almost time for us to act, whether it's to withdraw to Zenkoji Temple or march to Kawanakajima, our army should take action. ”

"How did you come up with this?"

"Huh?"

Sazuo Chengzheng was stunned for a moment, looking a little embarrassed.

He can't say anything...... Since this is the fourth battle of Kawanakajima, you must go to Hachimangahara when the Uesugi army runs out of food and fight Takeda Harunobu...... Moreover, history has changed, and the Hojo crusade that originally took more than ten years, with his dedicated assistance, it only took one year for Sister Uesugi to kill Hojo Shiyasu.

Or rather...... History is still history, the difference is that Cheng Zheng at this time is the person who created history.

"When our army runs out of food, it will move closer to the direction of Zenko-ji Temple...... Takeda Harunobu must also know this, since he knows, he will definitely use it, whether it is an ambush, a night attack, a woodpecker or something, in short...... At this time, they will definitely not sit idly by and let us retreat safely to Zenko-ji Temple. ”

Zuo Zuocheng rationalized his thoughts and told the story,

"And this guy Takeda Harunobu thinks he has read two fragments of "Sun Tzu", and he also made a 'Four Like a Military Flag' to pretend to be forced, but in fact, he can't draw a tiger into an anti-dog, how can he imitate the truth in "Sun Tzu" in 14 words? In addition, he has a Yamamoto Kansuke who likes to come up with bad ideas...... Therefore, the Takeda Army will definitely use some indiscriminate tactics. ”

After he said this, he suddenly realized that Sister Uesugi had turned around and looked at him with a smile.

At this moment, the afterglow of the setting sun blurred the outline of Sister Uesugi, but her smile and bright eyes were still very clear, and they were deeply engraved in Seimasa's mind like a brand.

"It's worthy of being a politician, and that's a good point."

Sister Uesugi stood up, leaned her back against the setting sun, and stretched out a finger in the direction of Kaizu Castle:

"Right there, see...... The Takeda Army is preparing for the big war. ”

Sasa Narumasa looked at her guidance, but couldn't see anything.

"Foolishness...... The Takeda Army was so quiet that I couldn't see anything. ”

"Don't you see that? The Takeda Army is very quiet! ”

Sister Uesugi added an accent to the last three words,

"A team of 20,000 people, no matter how disciplined it is, shouldn't be so quiet."

Once reminded, Sasa Chengzheng seemed to have figured out something.

"Before a big battle, the generals would instruct their men to prepare properly and prohibit the noise, because they felt that the noise of the soldiers would probably be noticed by the enemy and hinder the next step of the march. But such a deliberate concealment of words revealed a trace, so I concluded...... The Takeda Army will definitely make a move tonight! ”

Sasa Chengzheng suddenly realized.

Truly...... The Takeda Army was too quiet, so quiet that the 20,000 people inside and outside Haijin City could not hear any sound at this moment, nor could they see the smoke from the cooking.

"Let's go, come with me to dinner."

"Hay!"

That night, the Uesugi Army, stationed on Mt. Tsuma-Nu, was busy.

In addition to making rice balls and distributing the remaining little food to each soldier, it was also necessary to disguise the camp and select the garrison.

In addition, the veteran Katsucho Sebe is in charge of digging many tiger falls (traps) on the road at the foot of the mountain.

In the first half of the night, there was an extraordinary bustle among the Uesugi army, and they spent hours preparing everything and then getting a good night's sleep for three hours, from 11 p.m. to 2 a.m.

At midnight on September 10 of the old calendar in the third year of Koji (1557), the Takeda Army Special Forces, with Masanobu Takasaka as the main general and Nobuharu Baba and Nobushige Oyamada as the deputy generals, set out from Kaizu Castle.

And Uesugi Jun was sleeping.

Sasa had just entered the tent and lay down, but the knight told him that he had captured an enemy ninja.

Cheng Zheng is unknown, so how could there be a stupid Takeda ninja captured at this time?

Besides...... Why do you have to report to a ninja if you catch him?

With great resentment, Cheng Zheng got out of the tent and came to the unlucky ninja with a sword.

The ninja was quite short, but his eyes were different from his usual chestnut pupils, and his pure black pupils and pupils were especially bright at night.

Seeing Chengzheng coming, the ninja said happily:

"Lord Laici, it's my mouth."

Cheng Zheng raised his eyebrows, and quickly remembered the voice, he stepped forward and ripped off the ninja's face towel, and saw a beautiful Lori's smiling face.

"Hatsune? What are you doing here? ”
