Chapter Seventy-Three: Decision-making
Hosokawa Fujitaka felt bad all over his body, which was different from what he thought. When she pointed out the situation ahead, she showed a confident appearance.
Shouldn't Spo and his retainers panic and beg for a way out?
Why are you ready to rush up and get started? What kind of man is this? Which one is stunned!
"This is? Imperial Flag? β
Seeing the Ashikaga two leading two on the white flag clearly, the three girls all gasped.
Hosokawa Fujitaka and Akechi Mitsuhide really didn't know that Yoshiba had such a thing. Hosokawa Fujitaka has been hiding from her biological mother since she returned to Kyoto, misunderstanding that Yoshiin is her fiancΓ© and a woman with a very bad temperament.
As soon as this Ashikaga white flag came out, Hosokawa Fujitaka and Akechi Mitsuhide were stupid. They know that Yiyin is not a descendant of the shogunate, how did they get the white flag? This Sanyuan's mother really paid a lot of money for her son-in-law.
Yoshitsugu Ohtani felt even different. She didn't know the details of Yiyin, but his equal attitude and compassion for the sick were fond of him.
Now pulling out the imperial flag of the Ashikaga family is enough to prove that this Spo Yoshiyin is not only rare in character, but also has a very hard background.
This person, although he is a teenager, may really be able to take himself to prosperity. My heart was hot for a while, and I couldn't hesitate at the moment, so I said ruthlessly.
"Lord Spo, I would like to follow you and kill the ambushes."
As he spoke, he knelt down.
Yiyin looked at her, his eyes turning cold.
"You're not sick? Loaded? β
"The villain is a skin problem, and the cough is indeed pretended. The Hexagonal family sought my family's territory, and I pretended to be sick and delayed in order to survive. This time, the Hexagon family ordered me to bring troops here, and they must want to solve me together! β
Yiyin looked at her, although he covered his head, his tone was choked, and there were tears in his eyes, which did not seem to be a fake.
"I believe in you, come with me. But your peasant soldiers are scattered. If it's useless, why waste your life? β
Yiyin's words made several women look sideways, there are mistakes in this world, and there is no mistake. There is no need for free cannon fodder, either a fool or a sage.
This fool, all four women think.
The interests are the retainers of the Spo family, and the Lord speaks, just listen. Yoshitsugu Otani wanted to be attached to Yoshigin, but he was also resigned.
Hosokawa Fujitaka couldn't help but say.
"Husband's kindness. Peasant soldiers don't mention it for the time being, how can you guarantee her loyalty to this big valley, she obviously pretended to be sick and deceived us before, how can you trust her. β
"I'm the shogunate's commander-in-chief, and I'll do whatever I say. If Hosokawa-sama thinks something is wrong, he can return to Kyoto now and expose the Rokkaku's conspiracy to the Kokata-sama. β
In this war, Yiyin is too lazy to care about the temper of the aristocratic girl.
He also thought about turning back. Anyway, Nobunaga's guardian has already been sent out, and even if he goes out this time, the shogunate can't blame himself.
But the Rokkaku family is in Omi, and there is also power in Kitaise. If you have a grudge against it, it will be difficult to go back to Owari. Just touch your fists and take advantage of the shogunate's tiger skin battle.
Give a lesson hard, and if the hexagonal family wants to do something to themselves in the future, they must think carefully about it, and the price will not be too great.
Hosokawa Fujitaka was so angry that his face turned blue. She is a noble girl, and she has been a warrior admired by everyone since she was a child, where has she been ridiculed like this.
Akechi Mitsuhide on the side couldn't help but shake his head, Hosokawa is a good strategist, but he lacks ruthlessness on the battlefield.
Yoshiin decisively believed Yoshitsugu Otani's explanation. The war is urgent, and one more person is one more strength. If Otani really showed the problem later, he would definitely kill her with a backhand.
Although Hosokawa Fujitaka is more thoughtful, how can there be time to look ahead and look backward in the current state of affairs. Either believe it or roll, hesitation is also a chill for Otani Yoshitsugu's heart of retribution.
This Spo boy is a character, and Wise Mitsuhide nodded secretly. Pull Hosokawa Fujitaka not to be impulsive, how to say it's also a best friend, these days because of the marriage brain is a little bad, you have to take care of it more.
"Otani, tell us what kind of terrain the valley is in front of you."
Yoshiin was not in a hurry to go into battle, and Otani Yoshitsugu was a native of Omi, so he would find out the situation first.
"Yes, sir. The valley is a mountain canyon with high cliffs on both sides, and a stream in the middle that is shallow enough to submerge the foothills. The shore can be driven by horse, and the valley is about ten miles long, and it is a common trade route from Mekada Castle to Kyoto. β
Otani Yoshiji walked this road when he came, and he also told it eloquently and made it clear.
The interest listened and asked.
"Is it feasible if the mountains on both sides are ready to attack us with rolling stone bows and arrows?"
"I don't think so. There are too few of us, and the valley is wide and there are many dead ends. There are no people under the cliffs on both sides, and it will be embarrassing to fight. After all, it is not the army that passes, and there are also advantages of fewer people. β
Yoshitsugu Otani replied.
Akechi Mitsuhide thought for a moment and said.
"If we are small in number, there will be no more enemy troops. If the cliff is impossible to get down, the Rolling Stone Bow and Arrow will require the military to be divided into four parts, intercepted in front and back, and attacked on both sides. It's too inefficient. β
Thinking about it, he nodded.
"You're right. Most likely, after we enter, block the front and back roads. Then after we entered the valley, we mounted our horses and hurried to attack the enemy troops blocking the road in front. Let them finish off and break each other one by one. β
Yoshitsugu Otani nodded in agreement.
"It's okay, they're in the valley and can't get in touch with each other. The enemy forces behind will certainly not follow us too closely in order to lead us deeper. As long as they hurry into the valley, they will have enough time to find out that something is wrong. β
Yiyin himself doesn't understand the truth of these battles, he just relies on plug-ins to cut people, and other calculations are far worse than these Ji warriors. Everybody thinks it's good, so do it.
"Then..."
"Hey."
Yoshiin looked at Hosokawa Fujitaka, and it was her sneer just now.
"You're missing a little. Since we set out today, we haven't encountered any caravans coming from ahead. The front of the valley must have been blocked, how could the other party not set up a card? Will a few of us be able to break down a well-prepared fence by charging down? β
When Yiyin heard this, he felt reasonable. This Hosokawa Fujitaka said it well, so he asked.
"So what do you say?"
"After entering the valley, go to a place where you can hide your tracks, and wait for the enemy army blocking the road behind to come. One returned to the horse pistol and caught her off guard. β
Finally had a chance to show his wisdom, Hosokawa Fujitaka raised his head and said.
It's a pity that no one looks at her, and they are all thinking about the gains and losses of this trick.
Yiyin thought that this move was more appropriate than the previous tactics, and saw that the girls nodded and thought it was good, and said.
"That's it. Ohtani, you dispersed the peasant soldiers first. Ohtani and Maeda have a carcass and charge left and right with me. Lend a horse to Otani from Lord Wise, and the two of you have no protection, so you will ride together in the back and be responsible for covering the battle. β
Akechi Mitsuhide nodded and dismounted in obedience. Hosokawa Fujitaka Nunu mouthed, but still felt that it was good for the peasant soldiers to keep the strength of the enemy army. But Yiyin had refused before and didn't want to say anything more.
Yiyin didn't quite understand why the peasant soldiers were dismissed when he looked at the four girls, and he was helpless.
You warriors really don't take the lives of civilians seriously, and you can lose more than 20 heads if you can consume a little physical strength of the enemy.
It's just that he can't bear it, and he doesn't bother to explain these killings, so he can only say arrogantly.
"Hmph, I don't need these pariahs to block the knife for me."
Wise Mitsushi's eyes lit up, revealing light.
