Chapter 965: Mutsu Strategy (8)
"Okay, all right, my lords, now that the enemy is present, we really shouldn't quarrel at this time, and I think that since we can't win head-on, it is better to launch a surprise attack on it while its foothold is not stable and the army is weak, so that even if it has more iron cannons, it will not play any role, I don't know what you think?" After Tsugaru believed that everyone had no choice, he couldn't help but speak.
Everyone present couldn't help but light up after hearing this, yes, they can't beat the mountain army head-on, so if they go to a sneak attack, it's not easy to say, anyway, there is no hope of winning, so it's better to use this trick, anyway, the other party only has 10,000 people, and he has 30,000 people, of course, if he launches a surprise attack, it is impossible for 30,000 people to go together, but if you concentrate the elites of each family, then you can also fight with the other party for a while.
After having such thoughts, I only heard Mogami Yoshimitsu speak: "Ladies and gentlemen, I think that what Tsugaru-sama said is extremely reasonable, but if you send ordinary troops, I am afraid that it will be difficult to succeed, so it is better for us to gather the elite of the family and fight to the death with the other party." ”
When Date Huizong heard this, he couldn't help but nod and said, "It's all about now." ”
With Mogami and Date agreeing, then there is no reason for the southern family to refuse, let alone those small forces, so they did not delay and immediately began to gather troops in this Yamagata basin.
It's just that after they assembled, they found that there were only nine hundred and thirty-two people who could have Ashigaru, seeing this number, everyone's hearts were already half cold, and they didn't dare to think about it anymore if they wanted to rely on these forces to defeat the Takayama Army, the only thing they hoped was that these more than 900 Ashigaru could destroy some more enemy troops, and when the other party attacked, the pressure on their side would be less.
It's not enough to have a samurai, but at this time, except for the Date family's Oniwa Mototsuna, no one has applied to lead this army, and in the end, in desperation, each family can only send a samurai to follow the battle.
Since it was only two miles away from the place where the Takayama Army was stationed, it was two hundred meters away from the Takayama Army's place in an instant, except for the Yamagata Basin.
If they had brains at this time, they should have thought that the most common tactic of the Gao Mountain Army was a sneak attack, how could they be unprepared, and how could they all get close to a distance of 200 meters without noticing?
At this moment, Takayama Nobukatsu was sitting in a tent, and in addition to him, there were five or six samurai in this tent, and both Takayama Nobukatsu and those samurai were sitting neatly on the maza.
"Lord Kohata, it's almost time, does the other party really dare to come and sneak attack?" Takayama Nobukatsu couldn't help but yawn and said.
"My lord, according to Ashigaru's report, the heads of those Mutsu Hao clans have personally gone to the camp to investigate, and this is their last chance."
"Lord Kohata, according to the advice below, you should just catch all these people directly, wouldn't this save too much trouble?" Although Kojiro Kazema is in good spirits, he still feels a little bored with this kind of boring thing.
"Lord Wind Demon, Lord Takayama has already said just now, the lord does not value this Mutsu, so the purpose of this army is to show the strength of the family, once the head of the family is all killed, then the enemies in the Yamagata Basin will inevitably flee, and each family will also support a new family governor, which cannot show the military strength of the family at all, so that they will submit from the bottom of their hearts."
"But the question is, will they really come? What if they are frightened and come back early tomorrow morning? Wind Demon Kojiro still asked unrelentingly.
And when he finished asking, Takayama Nobukatsu couldn't help but look at him.
"Lord Gao Shan, Lord Wind Demon, although my subordinates are not sure, but even if they don't come, they won't have any losses to our army, since that's the case, it's better to wait for one...
"Report, Lord Takayama, according to the news from the sentinel at the front, the enemy's 1,000 troops have left the Yamagata basin and are rushing towards us, and we ask the adults to make preparations."
After hearing this, Takayama Nobukatsu couldn't help but feel happy on his face, and then hurriedly ordered: "Haha, it really made Lord Kohata anticipate, come and prepare quickly, I want to completely annihilate this attacking enemy." ”
At this moment, Ghost Court Yuangang and the others had already led nearly a thousand troops to a distance of less than fifty meters outside the Gao Shan family's station, which was suitable for launching a surprise attack.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this battle is related to the survival of my family, and please don't spare any strength, for the sake of the long-term martial arts of the Mutsu family, follow me!" Oni Court Mototsuna roared, picked up the spear in his hand and rushed forward, and the more than a dozen samurai behind him, as well as the close front Ashigaru, also raised their weapons.
Suddenly, the shouting and killing outside the Gaoshan military camp was loud, and the Ghost Court Yuangang took the lead and rushed directly into the Yuanmen, but when he just rushed in, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, because the Yuanmen didn't see a shadow of the Gaoshan family at all, no matter how arrogant the other party was, it was impossible not to send the Ashigaru to guard the Yuanmen.
"It's not good, the enemy has been prepared for a long time, retreat quickly." But at this time, the troops who came with him had already rushed in, and how could they retreat for a while.
It's just that he said that it was too late, just as they had already rushed into the camp, they saw a large number of Takayama family ashigaru appearing from the left and right sides and were surrounding them, at this time, everyone knew that they couldn't run if they wanted to, so they saw that the face of the ghost court Yuangang was gloomy, but he still ordered loudly: "Everyone, follow me to fight a bloody way." As he spoke, he immediately turned around and wanted to kill in the direction of Yuanmen, but at this time, the Takayama troops on the left and right had already killed, and not only Ashigaru Kohata Nobutada and others rushed to the front, rushing straight towards those samurai.
In the blink of an eye, the two sides have begun to fight, don't look at the ashigaru that was selected by Mutsu, everyone has armor, but due to the lack of training, there are many more people killed by the Takayama army Ashigaru than them, so they were quickly rushed to pieces, especially Muto Shunhide was afraid that they ran away, and he blocked the gate with dozens of ashigaru as soon as possible.
And because these thousand people have been completely scattered, so they can only fight on their own, and now although they want to run, but the back road has been cut off, they will definitely not be able to run, and they can only fight with each other in desperation.
I have to say that Oni Court Mototsuna, as a fierce general of the Mutsu, really has some real skills, although Kohata Nobusada has entangled him, but he has not gained the upper hand, and even just now he was almost stabbed by the spear in the other party's hand.
