Chapter 149: Prepare for battle
In the assessment room of Kamihachiman Castle, similar samurai were talking in low voices, and (3 words missing) There was a lack of confidence in fighting the Takayama Army head-on. And Endo Morishu, who was sitting on the main seat, saw that before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the samurai of the Hao clan below, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, although he did not turn his face, but his face was a little gloomy.
If it weren't for the fact that he still uses these little wealthy families, he would have been unkind to these people a long time ago, and after Endo Shengshu adjusted his breath, he said: Everyone, please calm down for a while, my words have not been finished yet, and after you finish speaking, it is not too late for you to make a decision.
The samurai of the wealthy clan who were talking to each other below saw that Endo Morishu still had something to say, and they couldn't help but quiet down again, after all, they didn't think that Endo-sama, who had always been outstanding, would let him go to his death, after all, if this was the case, it would not be good for him.
And the samurai who interjected just now also knew that Lu Dao was a little rude just now. He was afraid that Endo Shengshu would blame, so he hurriedly arched his hand and said respectfully: Endo-sama, I was reckless just now, and I ask your forgiveness.
Endo Morishu smiled at him, and said hypocritically: "My lord doesn't have to be so polite, now we must work together against the Oda family to have the possibility of winning, otherwise we will not be far from defeat, and adults don't care too much about the little things just now."
After speaking, Endo Morishu continued what he had just said and said: Everyone, in fact, the strategy under the command is very simple, that is, you gather 1,200 troops to confront the Gaoshan clan head-on, and then lead the 800 troops under your command and ambush behind the Takayama army, as long as you fight with the Takayama clan, you will lead the army under your command to kill from behind it, and directly take the main formation of the Takayama clan, as long as you can take it, then how can the army under its command not be defeated? Do you think this is possible?
"This. (Remember .dukankAn.). The samurai of the Hao clan began to hesitate, they secretly thought in their hearts, they fought hard with the elite of the Takayama Army in front, and they would definitely suffer heavy losses, but Endo Morishu led the army to carry out a sneak attack, how much loss could they have, everyone went out together, why did they want to go forward and die, but he took on the mission that was not dangerous?
Seeing that everyone was hesitating, how could Endo Morishu not know what they were thinking in their hearts, only to hear him open his mouth and say: My lords, this victory will continue to keep the family name and territory, if it is defeated, not only will his life be lost, but even the family name will be destroyed.
There are 800 people in the lower office, one is that there are many people, but it is convenient to command, and then there are 100 bannermen in these 800 troops, and you must have known about their standing, so they will directly propose to be responsible for the sneak attack by themselves.
If you go to a sneak attack, I am afraid that it will be difficult to succeed if there are fewer people who go, and if there are many people who go, and all families are not under the control, it is easy to cause chaos, if you fail because of this, the morale of Ashigaru will be lost, and then how can you resist the attack of the Takayama clan?
Of course, if you don't agree, then you don't force it, but you can't think of any other way. So please think twice. If you agree, then go ahead and prepare now, otherwise you will have to strengthen the defenses of Hachiman Castle in the county and prepare for the battle of the castle.
Now that Endo Morishu has made it clear, the wealthy families don't want to say anything more, what Endo Morishu said by Silent Endo Morishu is the truth, if it is really someone else to sneak attack, then who should be asked to complete it? I'm afraid that before the result is discussed, the Gaoshan clan will already lead the army to fight.
Besides, if he really disagrees, he Endo Morishu can still rely on the county Hachiman Castle to defend it, but how can his own small castle be able to stop the 1,000 army led by the Takayama clan.
The samurai of the wealthy clan present couldn't help but think that this Endo Morishu has always had a good reputation in North America, and it may be a helpless move to come up with this strategy. If you turn into other samurai present, you really don't feel at ease. Thinking of this, the warriors of the Zhonghao clan no longer felt entangled in this matter, anyway, among the enemy's 1,000 troops, only 250 were the real mountain elites, and with the 1,200 ashigaru in the machine room, they would not necessarily lose to the other party. After the warriors of the Hao clan glanced at each other, they only heard them say in unison: The inferior is willing to obey Endo-sama's command.
Endo Shengshu is very satisfied with the attitude of these wealthy families, and the strategy he proposed is to preserve the strength of the Endo family as the wealthy families think, and he also has an unknown idea, that is, while consuming the military strength of the Takayama clan, it also consumes the strength of the wealthy clans, as for the sneak attack, it is just an excuse, and whether he really wants to lead the army to kill at that time depends on the situation at the time. Sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, and losing both sides is the result he wants to see the most, only in this way can he quickly agree to North America after defeating the army of the Gaoshan Clan. Endo Morishu was afraid that something would change if it was too late, so he hurriedly said: Okay, then without further ado, please return to the territory immediately to prepare for the army. Two days later, 1,300 peasant soldiers, dressed in coarse linen clothes and armed with bamboo guns and sticks, were already waiting here on a potholed and hilly land between the two mountains at the junction of North America and East Mino. The reason why the North American alliance of the rich clan chose the decisive battle here was that Endo Morishu also made a decision after some careful consideration. First of all, if the Takayama Army wants to march into North America, it will have to take this road except passing through Iwamura Castle in the distant mountains on the west side. However, he was sure that the Takayama Army would definitely choose this path, after all, if he took the road of Iwamura Castle, it would be too far. In addition, Endo Morishu thought that among the Takayama Army, the most elite and strongest combat power was the Iron Thorn Cavalry. Don't look at them as only a hundred people, but if they really let them launch a surprise attack, I am afraid that the combat power is even more terrifying than the remaining nine hundred troops, and such a potholed terrain just restricts the play of the Iron Thorn Cavalry, fighting with the Gaoshan Clan Sect in this place, it is equivalent to limiting the combat power of its army, and at least reducing its combat power by forty percent. The chances of the Hao coalition winning will also increase by a few points.
And just when the Hao Clan Coalition Army had lined up its formation, and when the Takayama Army arrived, Endo Morishu personally led 800 ashigaru and leisurely ambushed behind the nearest mountain outside the battlefield. 【Latte Chinese】[.Natie.Cc]
