Chapter 642: A Little Thing

The reason why the clan was laughing was because he saw that the codex said that the total strength of the Takeda army was 35,000 people, although on the surface, there was nothing worthy of the clan's laughter, but he knew that with the number of the Takeda army, it would be difficult to send troops to aid Hida.

First of all, the Hida army can also be counted as part of the Takeda family's Joraku, so it accounts for 3,500 people, if Takeda Shingen sends troops to Hida again, then its main force out of Tokaido is less than 30,000 people, the current Oda family is no longer what it used to be, if the main force is less than 30,000 people, then even if there are 3,000 Akabi, it is absolutely impossible to be the opponent of the Oda family, unless Takeda Shingen's head is broken, otherwise it will never do this.

This would not do him any good, and in this way, he would send fifteen hundred ashigaru to Hida at most.

The strength of the family has now reached 4,500 people, not to mention taking a defensive position, even if it is a decisive battle with the Takeda army in Hida, the clan is sure of victory, after all, it is impossible for Takeda Shingen to send Akabi to fight there, only the flag and the peasant soldiers, in terms of the current military strength of the family, there is indeed nothing to fear.

Of course, he was also worried about the affairs of the Oda family, but the most troublesome thing for him was that he was afraid that Takeda Shingen would send an additional army to Hida, and now it is obvious that he has no such ability at all, and it would be abnormal if the clan saw this, if he didn't laugh.

And when the clan saw that the Asakura family also sent an army of 5,000 to respond, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and then he suddenly remembered a very important thing, that is, the war between the Asakura family and the Oda family in history. The Oda family's Kanesaki retreat, which had happened before Takeda Shingen Kamiraku, was now entangled.

The reason why the clan can have such an identity and status is not because of its familiarity with historical events, but as its influence grows, history has been changed to the fullest, and if it goes on like this, the advantages it relies on will become smaller and smaller. Then you can really only rely on yourself in the future, so you must improve your strength as soon as possible to face the unknown future.

Since the Asakura family entered the war. So what about Asai Nagamasa, although I didn't see the name of the Asai family from this information, but didn't the Asai family in history suddenly turn against him.

According to the clan's understanding. Asai Nagamasa since he listened to his own advice, began to vigorously rectify the retainers and wealthy families, after quelling the rebellion of the retainers and wealthy families in the territory, it has been regarded as the power of the Asai family, but Asai Nagamasa is good at everything, but he is too concerned about the old feelings, and the main force of the Oda family in this battle will face Takeda, and Asakura should not be able to use his own ally who has been with the Oda family, but when the Oda family goes all out to deal with the Asakura family, it will be uncertain. Therefore, when Oda Nobunaga went out to Echizen in the future, it was necessary for him to go to his hometown and strengthen Asai Nagamasa's determination.

For Asai Nagamasa, the clan still has a good impression, and he doesn't want him to die young like in history. And this is also planning for the future of the Gao Shan family, as the saying goes, a good man has three gangs, and a person like him who values affection and ability, once he is pulled into his own camp, then it can really be said to be like a tiger with wings. Therefore, this trip to Kotani Castle is a must-go in the future.

Clan Zong even wanted to take it with him, so the codex stayed in his hand for a long time, and Niwa Nagahide, who was sitting next to him, saw that Takayama had no intention of letting go, and saw that he was just stunned by the codex, so he couldn't help but arch his shoulder slightly, and Clan immediately woke up from his thoughts, smiled embarrassedly, and handed the codex to him.

The codex was passed between retainers for nearly half an hour, and then it returned to Oda Nobunaga, and when it reached the hands of Takenaka Hanbei, the clan took a special look at him, and saw that he was still so calm that he couldn't see any change in his face at all. …,

Seeing this, the clan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it seems that his concentration is still not enough.

When the Codex returned to Nobunaga's hand, he only heard Nobunaga say by the name of the clan, "Senbei, why were you laughing just now?" ”

The clan knew that he would definitely not be able to escape Nobunaga's question, so he had already been prepared, and only listened to him calmly say: "Back to the lord, before the subordinates read the codex, they were also worried about their own family like the adults here, but after reading it, they found that the situation did not seem to be as serious as you imagined, and it seemed that it was a little difficult for the family to expand its territory with this battle, but it was still possible to protect yourself." ”

As soon as the clan clan finished speaking, he heard Shibata Katsuya hurriedly say: "Senbei, don't talk in front of the lord. He said this completely for the good of the clan, in his opinion, this will be the biggest crisis of the family since its establishment, even more than the Imagawa family Shangluo back then, and now even the lord is deeply worried about this, but in his eyes it is nothing, if he can't say why, I'm afraid that even if the lord loves him before, it will be difficult to pass today.

However, Shibata Katsuya didn't know what to do, and his kind reminder was too late. As soon as Nobunaga wanted to hear the clan say what to do next, Shibata Katsuya interjected, which made him feel very unhappy, and he only heard him reprimand, "You shut up for me." After speaking, he looked at the clan with blazing eyes and said, "Tell me your opinion." ”

"My lord, if this information is correct, then the enemy's total army can reach 65,000 people, and the strength of my own army is 45,000, which seems to be nearly 30% less in number, but my subordinates think that the enemy's coalition army is a temporary patchwork of army morale, and the lord only needs to concentrate superior forces and defeat the leading Takeda army, then the coalition army will be self-defeating.

First of all, the total strength of the Takeda army seems to be 35,000 people, but it has been divided into 3,000 and 5 in Hida, and it still has to pass through the land of the Tokugawa family, with the current strength of the Tokugawa family, although it is impossible to block the attack of the Takeda army, but the Mikawa samurai have always been brave, so it is still possible to consume part of the Takeda army.

After the battle between the Takeda army and the Tokugawa family, the army strength may be less than 30,000, and the lord only needs to arrange the army on the front line of Narumi Castle, then the advantage will return to the hands of the family.

Gu's subordinates understand that the most elite of the Takeda family is only 3,000 Chibei, and the remaining military strength in the middle of the banner is probably only 60% at most, and the rest are peasant soldiers who lack training, so in its Shangluo army, there are probably less than 20,000 people who really have combat power.

And looking at the family, since the separation of the soldiers and peasants, the army of the family is all elite, although slightly weaker than the red bei, but it is slightly stronger than the Takeda banner, not to mention those peasants and soldiers can be compared, if you choose a cavalry is not easy to play a decisive battle with it, then with the advantage of numbers, and combat power, as long as there are no major mistakes, it should still be possible to repel it.

Speaking of other forces, the total army has 30,000 people, but whether it is Asakura, Hatano, or other forces, the main banner of the army under his command can account for at most 30% of the total military strength, and even the number of Asakura flags will definitely not exceed 50% of the total military strength.

And although the remaining 15,000 troops of the family are less than half of the opponent's in numbers, their combat power is stronger than that of the coalition army, and if they take advantage of the dangerous terrain and cities to take a defensive position, then how can the enemy attack the territory?

After that, as long as the lord repels the Takeda army, he can lead the army to break each of them, so that the family can not only successfully resolve the crisis, but also take advantage of this time to expand the territory, so the subordinates believe that the Takeda family is on Luo, and the surrounding forces are attacking it, not only is it not a crisis, but a great opportunity, once the family can grasp it, then the strength of the family will be doubled, and the lord's world will also take a big step forward. ”…,

When the clan finished speaking, everyone present, including Nobunaga, was stunned on the spot, and the crisis of making himself restless in the mouth of the clan sect turned out to be a great opportunity, and the words that came out of his mouth were so reasonable that he couldn't find any loopholes at all, even if he wanted to find something wrong, he couldn't open his mouth.

The retainers all know that once the strategy proposed by the clan is implemented, then they really have nothing to worry about, the strength of the army is rare, and the military strength is strong, which is enough to make up for the disadvantage in numbers, but when they think of this, they can't help but feel a little afraid.

If it wasn't for the clan sect that proposed the separation of soldiers and peasants, then even if the family can gather 80,000 troops now, I am afraid it is not the opponent of the enemy's coalition army, and the Takeda family is only 3,000 in the red army, but as long as it is so sudden, even if they have 20,000 peasants and soldiers against it, I am afraid that when the cavalry rushes over, they will run away.

And now the Oda family army is all the flags, and there are eight slashing methods as a law, and then when facing Takeda Akabi, although it is still inferior, but its number is only three thousand, the family can send troops to entangle it, first eliminate the Takeda family flag and the peasant army, and then gather superior forces to kill all the Akabi in one fell swoop.

Since the strategy proposed by the clan just now was impeccable, the retainers in Zaichang no longer thought much about this aspect, but began to think about tactical issues.

After the clan saw that after he finished speaking, no one spoke for a long time, they either looked at themselves blankly, or they were thinking about something, no one answered at all, the clan knew that what he proposed was definitely the most feasible strategy at present, if someone refuted it, he had absolute confidence to persuade the other party.

But now the assessment room is so quiet that he can even hear a needle dropped, which makes him feel a little awkward, how did the retainers of the Oda family become so qualified, even when they are in a meeting, they can be quiet, such a situation seems to have never happened before. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
