Chapter 495: Chaos on the Riverbank (4)
"Look, my lord." I only heard Wasuka Masakatsu say as he pointed his finger at the east bank of the Seta River.
Looking in the direction of Wasuka's finger, I saw that the more than 10,000 troops of Oda's army had finally begun to cross the river with great momentum.
The lord has already said just now that as soon as the main hall leads the army to attack, it is also the time for the family to go out, so when everyone saw that the Oda army finally began to cross the river, they couldn't help but be very excited, and it seemed that the time for their performance had come.
I only heard Sugitani Zenzhufang say excitedly: "Lord, now that the main hall has led the army to start crossing the river, shouldn't we also attack." ”
While he spoke, the retainers of the Takayama family also focused their eyes on the lord at this moment, waiting for the lord to give the order to go out of the army.
However, what disappointed them was that the clan sect did not make arrangements, but said lightly: "Wait, now is not the time. ”
If the retainers of the Takayama family could still hold their breath before, then from the moment the Oda family's army crossed the river, they really couldn't help it.
They are not those arrogant guys of the Miyoshi family, although everyone belongs to the Takayama family, but they are still very clear about the combat power of the main hall and the retainers of the Oda family, they all think that although these troops are not as elite as their own family, they are much stronger than those troops of the Miyoshi family, and with the military strength of the Miyoshi family this time, at most they can only create some trouble for the Oda army, but if they want to prevent the Oda family from going ashore, it is a fool's dream, and there is absolutely no such possibility.
So they thought that as long as the Oda family crossed the Seta River, then there would be nothing to do with themselves.
Of course, this is also because of the strategic mistake of the Miyoshi family, if he came up and sent all the flags to annihilate the army led by Shibata Katsuya in one fell swoop, then the situation would be very different, but Araki Murashige had just gained the trust of Miyoshi Yoshitsugu after all, so he didn't dare to take this risk at all, and he didn't have the courage to do so. Otherwise, after he joined the Oda family, there would not be much development, and he did the most courageous thing in his life. It's a rebellion against the Oda family, but it's also a bad move.
And this arrangement, it looks decent, but it forgets or underestimates the combat power of the Oda army, so defeat is an inevitable result.
And now the clan no longer puts all its thoughts here.
The reason why he led the army to come was because he was afraid that the Miyoshi army and the Oda army would be in a stalemate, but now it seems. The Miyoshi Army no longer has this ability.
The clan can be sure that before it gets dark, the army of the Miyoshi family will be defeated, and how to maximize their interests is the most important thing to consider now.
And he has now focused on the city behind the Miyoshi Army.
However, when he just had an idea, he only heard Omiya Jinglian speak: "Lord, if you don't attack now, wait for the main hall army to cross the Seda River." Then the family will have no chance to make meritorious contributions, and please ask the lord to give an order as soon as possible. ”
"Do you also see that the Miyoshi family will lose this battle?" I only heard the clan ask as soon as he spoke.
"My lord, my subordinates think that as long as the main hall leads the army to cross the river. Then the Miyoshi family will be defeated, even if it is too late to add the army to Seta Kawachu, please ask the lord to make a decision as soon as possible. ”
When Omiya Jinglian finished speaking, the other retainers also chimed in: "Please also ask the lord to make a decision as soon as possible." ”
The clan didn't pay attention to it, but set his eyes on Sanada Masayuki, who had not spoken.
Seeing the lord's gaze on him, Sanada Masayuki couldn't help but bow his head in shame, this time the lord led the army to come completely following his own advice, but who knew that the Miyoshi army was so arranged, when the army was not as good as the Oda family, he even wanted to divide the troops to resist the enemy. This is really a taboo for soldiers, and if it were to be commanded by himself, then he would have three ways to make it impossible for the Oda army to attack within a month. …,
And as long as there is this month, then the Miyoshi family can calmly transfer troops from Shikoku, and the Oda family will have no hope.
But I think too highly of each other. Obviously, there are no wise samurai in the other party's family, and this can only be blamed for being too cautious, if he had obeyed the orders of the lord and directly took the castles in the mountain city country, maybe half of the mountain city country has been defeated now.
This was the first battle he had participated in at the Zhuan Shi Gaoshan family, but he had made such a major mistake that it seemed that he was still too young.
And the clan looked at Sanada Masayuki, not to blame him, if it weren't for Araki Murashige being also called a wise general in later generations, then even if Sanada Masayuki persuaded him, he wouldn't agree.
But if this is the case, this Araki Village is so heavy that it is a bit wasteful, with his command ability in this battle, he is not worthy of the word "wise general" at all, and in terms of his resourcefulness, at best, it is better than generals like Maeda Toshiya and Watanabe Moritsuna.
Now, even the army of the Oda family has moved, but the army of the Miyoshi family is still on the shore of the Seta River and has no intention of going into the water, as if the goal of the Oda family is not them at all.
And not only that, not only do you want to go out now, but you also have to take advantage of the great opportunity of the Miyoshi family's army to gather here, and divide your troops to attack the mountain castle and cross the surrounding cities.
Thinking of this, I saw that the clan still did not speak directly, but first took out the map from his arms and spread it on the ground.
As shown on the map, there are currently three castles closest to him, namely Kishima Castle, Kawaguchi Castle and Setayama Castle, where the Miyoshi army was temporarily stationed, and these three castles are seven or eight miles away from the west bank of the Seta River, lined up from north to south.
In terms of scale, Kawaguchi Castle is the smallest, followed by Setayama Castle, and Kinarishima Castle can accommodate more than 20,000 troops of the Miyoshi family, the largest scale, and after seeing these three castles on the map, the clan clan has already made a plan.
I saw that he first pointed in the direction of Kawaguchi Castle on the map, and then said, "Isshiki-sama, Ikeda-sama, Kyodai-jin." ”
Seeing that the clan seemed to have something to order, the three of them didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said, "In the next place, please ask Lord Gao Shan to command." ”
"Three adults, the battle situation here has been decided, even if you stay here, I'm afraid you won't be able to earn too many merits, so if the three of you want to contribute more to the general's family, then it is better to lead the headquarters to attack Kawaguchi Castle."
Although the three of them had already explained before that everything was subject to the dispatch of the Gaoshan Clan, but now that the Gaoshan Clan Sect really began to assign tasks to them, they were a little hesitant.
Could this be that the Gaoshan Clan Sect wants to separate himself and the other three people, and then lead his army to attack the Miyoshi Army, right?
The reason why they think this way is simply because they can't see the current situation at all. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
