Chapter 121: Shota Takenaka's strategy
Taoist Sun Balang's heart is very entangled at the moment. He was instructed by Saito Michizo, the "pit viper of Mino Province", to infiltrate Owari Province and attack Nakono Castle. If it were to be discovered by the defenders of Katsuhata Castle or Cheongju Castle on this small hill like this, it would be a real failure.
When the fire was finally brought under control and extinguished, Taoist Sun Hachiro yelled at all the captain-level ashigaru heads. None of the 250 squad leaders, 25 squadron leaders, and 5 squadron commanders in the whole army discovered how the fire was created.
"Bang! Bang! Just when the Taoist Sun Balang was so angry that he slashed a squadron leader to death, in the distance south of the mountain, there was a sudden burst of iron cannon sounds.
Taoist Sun Balang was so frightened that he hurriedly took the remaining twenty-four squadron leaders and five captains out of the camp to check.
I saw that outside a small village in the distance, there was a thousand-strong light army, doing something that shocked him and made Genghis Khan go straight ahead.
This army of nearly 1,000 people was divided into two teams of about 400 people and a team of about 100 people.
Two brigades of 400 men, one walking back and forth, the other standing still.
The brigade of four hundred men walking around, each with a spear about three feet and four feet in his hand, and two short spears crossed on his back. The pace and movements of the whole team are very neat, every time the left foot takes a step forward, the spear in the hand will be neatly retracted backwards, and when the right foot steps forward, the spear in the hand will poke forward vigorously.
The movement of their legs and the spears in their hands are perfectly coordinated, and it is obvious that they are constantly training. Every time their right foot stepped forward and the spear in their hand stabbed forward, there was a neat roar in their mouths, and the momentum was like a rainbow.
When they had walked a hundred steps, they suddenly formed a circle, and the spears of the outer three layers pointed forward one after another, like a hedgehog, and the ashigaru in the inner two circles suddenly drew the short spears behind their backs and threw them out vigorously into the distance.
When these short spears were inserted diagonally in the distant grass, the Taoist Sun Balang saw that the shape of these short spears was very peculiar, like a stick with two sharpened ends. Nearly two hundred short spears, in the distance it looked like rows of tombstones.
As for the team of 400 people standing in place, they did not stand still, but constantly shot arrows at the target in the distance. Taoist Sun Balang, who is also a good archery player, couldn't help but marvel after seeing the arrows of these 400 people.
The archery skills of these 400 people are so consistent, and the hit rate has almost reached a perfect 100 percent. A good 400-man archery team is definitely a powerful combat force that can determine the outcome in this troubled era of the Warring States with an army of two or three thousand people.
As for the Taoist Sun Hachiro, it was the last team of 100 people.
This team of 100 people was divided into four rows, each with 25 people. At this moment, these twenty-five people, each with a black iron cannon, were shooting in batches into the distance.
The hill where Taoist Sun Hachiro was located was the farthest away from where the hundred-man army was standing, so he couldn't see why the opponent's shooting could be so dense. He only knew that the power exerted by this hundred-person squad was stronger than that of his own iron artillery team in the Minong Country, and it was not comparable to that.
The sound of bows and arrows flying with "whoosh, whoosh...... and the sound of bowstrings with "boom, boom......" continue to rise and fall, "Boom! Rumble! The sound of iron cannons roared intensively, and the pikemen roared in unison from four hundred men, weaving together a heart-stirring symphony beside the distant village.
Whose army is this, exactly? This question is now in the mind of the Taoist Sun Hachiro. Even though he was now leading an army of 2,500 people, he still did not have the confidence that he would be able to annihilate this team at a very small cost.
Fortunately, it was only morning, and he was using a strategy of day and night. Therefore, after arranging the soldiers for defense, he moved the bed out of the tent and lay on the bed to watch the play.
This is the pain of this group of big, medium and small captains. The Lord will not sleep, and naturally their group of captains will not dare to sleep. The captains didn't dare to sleep, and the soldiers below naturally didn't dare to sleep either.
Especially in this Warring States period, where the concept of hierarchy was extremely strict.
Finally, Taoist Sun Balang opened his eyes with a smile, only to find that it was already the middle of the night. He jumped up in shock, and when he wanted to command the army to continue the battle, he was suddenly dumbfounded.
I saw that outside the small village that was shown as "Nakamura" on the map in the distance, the lights were brilliant.
The army of 1,000 people, who had been conducting three different trainings before, was now surrounding a very large bonfire, ...... Sumo.
Of the 1,000-strong army, more than 400 people were wrestling, and the remaining 500 people were facing the small hill in the middle of Kiyoshu Castle and Katsuhata Cheng.
Here, we have to say a little about the geographical location of Nakamura.
Nakamura is located in the southwest of Kiyoshu Castle and southeast of Katsuhata Castle. If you connect Nakamura, Kiyoshu Castle, and Katsuhata Castle together, you will form a perfect equilateral triangle. At the same time, to the east of Nakamura is Shinkawa, and across Shinkawa and to the east, there is Nakono Castle.
The location of this thousand-strong force is directly north of Nakamura, so that it forms a straight vertical line with the small hill where the Taoist Sun Hachiro is hiding. The two teams seem to have cut the equilateral triangle formed by Nakamura, Kiyoshu Castle, and Katsuhata Castle evenly into two triangles from the middle!
It's a good thing that Katsuhata Castle and Cheongju Castle are equally brightly lit up on this night. From the hill where the Taoist Sun Hachiro was hiding, it can be clearly seen that the head of the two castles, Sannomaru Castle, is full of people, constantly peeking in the direction of Nakamura.
Taoist Sun Balang was dumbfounded, how can he get out of battle now! Don't talk about going out of battle, even if you return to Minong, it will become impossible!
If he marches into Nakono Castle, Nakamura is the only way to go.
The large bonfire in front of him lit up all around, and no matter which direction he marched, he would be completely exposed, surrounded by at least two armies.
In desperation, the Taoist Sun Hachiro had to temporarily stop the march and order the soldiers not to do the slightest act that had the opportunity to reveal their whereabouts again.
"Hehe, the strategy of the half-guards really worked." Around the campfire of the thousand-strong team, Princess Medusa is eating barbecue with Shota Chochiko and the Maeda brothers. Sitting next to them, there were also the little Lori in the bamboo and the big cat sister Li Huamei who heard the news. The 100 iron cannons during the day are the new items that the iceberg big cat sister has just bought from Portugal.
It turned out that this army of nearly 1,000 people turned out to be all the family members of the Maeda family brothers who were urgently transferred from the "Owari Province Orphan Army".
The current Nakono Castle and Yamauchi Museum can be said to be an empty shell!
I have to say that the hand of Shota Xiaozhengtai is comparable to what Wang Tianxie told him earlier, the famous "empty city plan" in the previous life.
"Hehe, I didn't expect that the Heavenly Evil would come up with such a way of shooting." After watching the daytime shooting, the iceberg big cat couldn't help but admire.
She has been traveling all over the world since she was a big Lori, of course, she knows what kind of revolution will be brought to the battlefield by Wang Tianxie and the violent overage pseudo-Lori.
Even the distant Western powers did not solve the problem of the slow effect of continuous fire from iron cannons. Wang Tianxie and violent overage pseudo-Lori can also be regarded as another way.,Since the hardware speed is not enough,Start with software.。 It was through cooperation that the firing speed of the iron cannon was raised.
However, in Wang Tianxie's eyes, this method also has drawbacks, that is, burning money! In order to get more iron cannons from the iceberg big cat royal sister, Wang Tianxie has spent countless thoughts.
He used all the thick black studies, belly black studies, shameless studies, and messy studies on the people of the Mikawa Kingdom, the Enjiang Kingdom, and the Junfu Kingdom, and secretly transported the gold of the Three Kingdoms back to the Owari Kingdom in an endless stream as a fee to pay the Iceberg Big Cat Imperial Sister.
What's more, he even used the evil and illegal methods of earning people's heads ("passing") and fraud ("selling") in his previous life in Yuanjiang Kingdom and Junfu.
This is a big deal, because there is now a society without any regulation or law at all, and the owner of the "Qing Yaju" head office has successfully broken into the internal core of Imagawa Yoshimoto in the past two years, and is deeply trusted by Imagawa Yoshimoto, who advises him, and works together to deceive and exploit the wealthy families in his own land.
With the support of Imagawa Yoshimoto, the supreme head of state, Wang Tianxie has made the people of the two countries miserable. At this moment, the people of Yuanjiang and Junfu can be said to be full of mourning.
A noisy night passed.
As Princess Medusa said, Shota Takenaka's strategy is indeed powerful.
The first to appear is the phantom butterfly little Lori Sasaki Yako. With the help of Princess Medusa and the fourth princess of the ghost clan, Butterfly, she exhausted her demonic power, and used the demon spirit butterfly to light a fire in the camp of the Taoist Sun Hachiro. This fire made the Taoist Sun Hachiro nervous half to death, not only slaughtering a squadron leader, but also causing an army of 2,500 people to be extremely tired and tired in order to fight the fire.
This was followed by a big drill of more than 900,100 people, which caused a lot of excitement, which couldn't help but attract the attention of Taoist Sun Hachiro, and even attracted Qingzhou City and Katsuhata City to be on emergency alert for a day and a night.
As a result, without spending a single soldier, just spilling countless sweats, the army of 2,500 people was stopped on the hill between Cheongju City and Katsuhata City, and it was impossible to advance or retreat!
Today is already April 6th, Wang Tianxie has learned about the battle situation on Princess Medusa's side through the talent of the ghost clan, and at the same time sent back the news that the violent overage pseudo-Lori will officially meet with the "pit viper of the Mino Kingdom" today.
In other words, as long as it holds out for another three or four days, it is estimated that the other side will secretly withdraw its troops. It's just that three to four days is not too long, but it can be said to be short, but it is not very short.
