Chapter 126: Arrange the troops
"That's true, before the young master, he wanted to use half of the country of the United States to recruit him, but he refused. The samurai who can make the young lord admire so much www.biquge.info must have their own merits, and now it seems that it is indeed very difficult to defeat Yoshikawa Motoharu with such a small number of people and in such a difficult situation. In this case, if the family can get the help of Yamanaka Yukimori, when facing Yoshikawa Motoharu, even if there are only one or two thousand people, they will be at least fifty percent sure! Shigeharu Takenaka said.
"What Lord Takenaka said is true, if the family has Yamanaka Yukimori to help this time, it is indeed enough for the family to dispatch one or two thousand people, and then find a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it should be enough to confront Yoshikawa Motoharu." Masayuki Sanada agreed.
"Two, since the elder brother sent the two of you here, and you specifically mentioned the matter of the Maori family's division of troops, you should have discussed it when you came here this time, one is in charge of Shanyang, and the other is Shanyin!" Imate asked at this time.
"As the lord said, this time the next two people came here, it is indeed one person to assist Lord Dan Zhengzhong of Shanyang, and the other person is in charge of Shanyin, which is an arrangement that has been decided before the young master leaves." Shigeharu Takenaka said.
"It's decided before you go, isn't it? This is really good, this kid of the guard, has been so reassuring since he was a child. Imate said with a smile.
"Lord Dan Zhengzhong, before we came, we have discussed the distribution of soldiers this time, and now we will say that it is for Lord Dan Zhengzhong, and you can refer to it." Shigeharu Takenaka said.
"Just say it!" Imate Yushi didn't like these imaginary things, so he said directly.
"Hey! Lord Dan Zhengzhong, this time the family still needs to face the attack of the three families such as the east Honganji Temple, so the troops facing the Maori family this time are relatively small, but later, the young lord will come from Shikoku. ”
"What does it mean that Kannei came from Shikoku, can he pacify Shikoku soon? That's the land of hundreds of thousands of koku in Shikoku! And it is the skill of the Miyoshi family, there are many other large and small forces on it, even if there are not too many obstacles along the way, it should take a lot of time! ”
"Hey! The young lord's prediction was that in about ten days after he sent his troops, there might be a siege network against his own family in the surrounding daimyo family. ”
"Isn't that the case now? Even the guards were able to anticipate this. Ite's Tomoshi said in surprise.
"Hey! The young lord had already expected it, and the young lord was confident that the war in Shikoku would end within two months. Shigeharu Takenaka said.
In fact, what Shigeharu Takenaka said was more conservative, Kuroda Vocational High School's original intention was to end the War of the Four Kingdoms within a month and a half, and he said this just so as not to scare everyone. But when he said that the battle in Shikoku would end in two months, it had actually scared everyone present, including the Ite Tomoji.
Because in their eyes, even before the winter of this year, it is not easy to win half of the four countries. As a result, now Kuroda Vocational High School said that it would take two months to win Shikoku, which is too much for everyone to accept.
"Since my brother said that he could win the four countries in two months, I believe it, and what my brother wants to do, there is never something he can't do." Ite Tomotaka said loudly.
"If Kanbei can take Shikoku Island so quickly, then there will definitely be a big plot in the future! If it is true that a cage has been prepared for the Maori family, we will fight hard to hold on for this period of time. Imate said.
"Lord Dan Zhengzhong, to be honest, it is likely that it will not take two months for the young master to be able to turn around." Shigeharu Takenaka said with a smile.
"I hope so! Then you go ahead and talk about the deployment of troops! Imate asked.
"Hey! In addition to the 2,000 people who had already decided to be sent to San'in, there were 5,000 people under the command of the lord, 2,000 people from Bigo Province, 1,500 people from the Miki family in Tsuyama Castle, 4,000 people directly under the main family, and 4,000 people from the main family. There were 16,500 men in total, of whom 3,500 would remain in Misasakaku, and the remaining 9,000 would be all the soldiers who were now facing the Maori family before the 4,000 reinforcements arrived. Shigeharu Takenaka said.
"Lord Takenaka, since there are 2,000 people in San'in, why do you want to put 2,000 elites in Misaku, so that Misasaka has 3,500 people from your own family, why don't you just liberate the people of the Miki family?" Urakami Kiyomune asked at this time.
"Urakami-sama, the reason for this arrangement is actually very simple, the family also needs to have a garrison force in the Mimasaka Half Country. The 3,500 people left behind were to prevent the Maori family from breaking into the country of Mimasaka from elsewhere, and if that was the case, with the current ability of the Miki family, plus more than 3,000 soldiers, they could at least hold out until the family reacted. Moreover, if you don't move the Miki family, you also need to guard against the Niko family......," said Shigeharu Takenaka.
"Beware of the Nizi family, but aren't we allies? Even half of their beautiful works are given to them by us! Will they still attack us? Urakami asked.
"This is just a precautionary measure for the young master, so don't get too entangled. In addition, the 3,000 people of the Inaba Province of Masamine (Matsui Shigetaka) are ready to support each other. ”
"Five thousand, two thousand, two thousand, that is to say, all the men and horses we can use for the time being are nine thousand, and we will not have much disadvantage compared to the Maori family in terms of numbers."
"Lord Dan Zhengzhong, the lord has gathered two thousand temporary peasant soldiers within his ability, and he can come here before the Maori family arrives."
"Temporary Peasant ......"
"Hey! It was some of the previous peasant soldiers who met the requirements for conscription, but were not able to enlist due to the limitation of the number of conscripts, but who were still trained regularly. Masayuki Sanada explained.
"I see! If these people are still alive after this battle, they can directly enlist in the army. Imate said with a smile.
"The strength of these two thousand people should not be worse than that of the Maori peasants! In that case, we will have thirteen thousand men after us, and the odds will be greater. Tomokiyoshi Ide said.
"Not only that, the news I just got that the master of the Koji clan of the Tamba country of this family has completely annihilated 10,000 enemies from the Honganji Temple through an ambush, and the 3,000 dispatched troops of the ability have left the Tamba country and are on their way here, no accident, they can arrive in five days." Shigeharu Takenaka continued.
