Chapter 59: Hooked
"I learned from the intelligence that Ogawara Sadasho was extremely bold because of his outstanding martial arts, and he was a well-known militant of the Miura family. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info So my lords, as long as we can find a way to lure Ogawara Sadasho out of Tsuyama Castle, and then use some strategies. As long as we can kill this fang this time, Tsuyama Castle will be self-defeating. Sanada Masanobu said to everyone, especially Shigeharu Takenaka.
"Do you want to ......" Shigeharu Takenaka had already understood what Sanada Masanobu meant, so he immediately squinted his eyes, and after thinking for a while, he said with some clarity.
"Yes, Lord Takenaka, it's true, as long as we make the illusion that we are not going to attack Tsuyama Castle, but go directly to Otin County, there is a good chance that Ogawara Sadasho will take the initiative." Sanada Masanobu said.
"The castle is surrounded by rivers and cliffs on the east, west, and south sides, and only the castle town is on the north side, so it is really not a good way to take the initiative to attack. Your idea is very feasible, but we still have to plan carefully, and as for the terrain, we have Dr. Lao Zhongwu and all the adults. Shigeharu Takenaka said, and when he heard Shigeharu Takenaka's words, everyone didn't even dare to shout.
"Lord, look at how the Kuroda family is retreating!" A retainer of the Ogawara family pointed in the direction of Shigeji Takenaka's military situation.
"It doesn't seem to be a retreat! It seems like...... It looks like I'm going north! Doesn't that mean that the Kuroda family is going to win Yamashiro instead of attacking Tsuyama Castle? The other samurai looked across and said with some uncertainty.
"Well, it's very possible, but if the Kuroda family is like this, aren't they afraid that the family will cut off their retreat?" A retainer said.
"It shouldn't be afraid, when they capture Shengshan City, the family is gone, it's hard to say how the people in this city will choose, but the family is estimated to be perished together!" Ogawara said at this time.
"What does the lord think?" Everyone looked at Sadasho Ogawara.
"This ...... Hawkers! The reason why the Kuroda family didn't attack this place was because it was dangerous, so they took a detour. Since they wanted to attack Katsuyama Castle, plus there were 3,000 people from Kuroda Vocational High School to the west, Katsuyama Castle was in danger. I think that if we follow from the back and raid at night again, maybe there is still a chance to win, do you think? Sadasho Ogawara said.
"It's just that the Kuroda family is scheming, what should we do if it's the Kuroda family's ploy to lure us out?" A retainer of the Ogawara family said with some concern.
"This is easy, just send a few more people to monitor the Kuroda family's movements." Ogawara said with a smile.
"Everything is at the command of the Lord." The crowd said.
Ogawara Sadasho sent out five of his more shrewd scouts, and after a period of surveillance, they found that Takenaka's army was indeed advancing to the northeast, so I personally came back one after another to tell the news.
After receiving the news, Ogawara told the other samurai in the city that although a night attack would be more dangerous, it would be much better than being besieged in the end, so everyone agreed to the plan of a night attack.
It's just that this plan was based on the Kuroda family's advance, but those scouts didn't know that as soon as they left the city, they had actually entered the surveillance of the Kuroda family, and what they saw might not be the truth.
At dusk that day, the Kuroda family was stationed in the Takeda area near the Nakayama Shrine in the northeast of Tsuyama Castle, which was a fairly open place, and except for a hill on the west side, the rest of the place was unobstructed. And at this time, Ogawara Sadasho happened to squat on the other side of this hill with people, watching the camp of the Kuroda family below, waiting for you to sneak attack in the middle of the night.
"Lord Takenaka, the Miura family has already taken the bait." A concentric congregation came to the camp of Takenaka Heavy Governance and came to report the situation.
"I know, continue to monitor the movements of the Miura family, and report any situation immediately." Shigeharu Takenaka said.
"Hey!"
"It's finally here! Sanada, this kid is really powerful! Looking at it this way, there is really hope for the Kuroda family! Shigeharu Takenaka said to himself.
Night soon envelops the entire Takeda area, and in the early summer season, the most lively thing here is probably the croaking of frogs by the river. The sound of the frogs, chirping incessantly in the quiet of the night, is like a symphony that is not very skillful, and although it may be irritating, it is their joy, and you can't stop it.
Under such moonlight, Ogawara Sadasho waved his hand, and two hundred people slowly moved towards the camp of the Kuroda family.
Soon two hundred people came to the camp and "killed" Ogawara Sadasao drew his katana and shouted loudly.
"Kill!" The soldiers of the Miura family entered the camp in one go.
As a result, just as they entered the camp, a mutation appeared, all the tents in the camp fell, and the soldiers of the Kuroda family with torches appeared in front of the soldiers of the Miura family.
Fifty Kuroda family crossbowmen looked coldly at the Miura family's soldiers in front of them, and after a short time confirming their targets, they shot the crossbows in their hands together. In fact, at this time, their aiming is a bit redundant, the people of the Miura family are still all concentrated at the gate of the camp, and when people are crowded, there is no need to aim at all, as long as someone is not unlucky and shoots at the crowd, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.
Fifty crossbow arrows, in a few seconds, caused the Miura family to lose more than 20 people, this is still because of the bad light, otherwise the Miura family's casualties will be even greater.
When he didn't see the situation clearly, so many people fell down at once, when did the soldiers of the Miura family see such a scene, they were all stunned at once, and they didn't react at all.
Their performance in a daze is exactly what the Kuroda family's crossbow Ashigaru likes the most. The crossbowmen who are now a little accustomed to the night light have taken advantage of this opportunity to prepare a second round of salvos. Fifty more crossbow arrows roared out and rushed towards the Miura family's soldiers, taking with them thirty lives again.
At this moment, the casualties of the Miura family reached a quarter, and at this time, the soldiers of the Miura family could no longer continue to stay here. With a shout from one of them, he dropped his weapon and fled, and all the soldiers of the Miura family began to flee in the darkness of the night. (To be continued.) )
