Looking at the moon hanging high in the dark sky, bleak and white, deeper and heavier, three or five cold stars twinkled, thick black clouds hid most of the stars behind them, even the moon that was about to be full was from time to time covered by the rapidly moving clouds, and the whole earth was shrouded in darkness.

Zheng Heng's face was solemn, slightly pale, and he muttered in a low voice: "It was still starry just now, but I didn't expect that after the end of the battle of Ferry, it would be cloudy, if you can't end the siege of Stone Crab Mountain City before the rain, otherwise there is only one way to retreat." ”
Yes, he also knew in his heart that once he missed the opportunity to conquer the city, the three hundred people who did not prepare any siege weapons would not be able to forcibly conquer the stone crab mountain city built with stones.
But if he doesn't overcome it, Zhengheng is a little unwilling, and this grass-mated battle will not be able to achieve a big victory.
As long as the castle is captured, it will definitely be able to intimidate the people of Kawasaki Castle, and there will be a bridgehead to attack the south bank of the Takazaka River, which can prevent the enemy from going up the Osakabe River, and the strategic significance is greater than that of Kawasaki Castle.
Zheng Heng glanced back at the dark shadows of everyone, and roared in a low voice: "The whole army is forward!" The crowd responded, "Hey! ”
He led the crowd forward quickly, lighting as few torches as possible in order to conceal his whereabouts, and walked on the ridge of the Gaoliang River.
Fortunately, there are gentle ridge roads on both sides of the Takaliang River, so you don't have to worry about breaking the road or making it difficult to walk. The team traveled quite fast, and the firelight inside and outside the Stone Crab Mountain City jumped, which seemed very abrupt in the night, and it would not be lost because of the fork in the mountain road, and the team approached towards the firelight, and the more they walked or developed, the stronger the light became.
Zheng Heng, who walked in the front, saw a dark ridge in front of him, with some light embellishments between the ridges, walked out of the ridge road, went down the low slope, and squinted at the low mountain in front of him under the firelight, which was no more than 150 meters high, very low.
There is a castle lit with torches on that mountain, not a castle like Zhongshan Castle, it is indeed a strong castle, it is lower than the Nest Mountain Castle, the back cannot be seen clearly, and the scale should be more compact.
Zheng Heng gave the order to extinguish the torch and stop advancing in a low voice, and then ordered a ashigaru to say: "Stingy wolf, you go and find your brother, let him come back, and tell me what the situation is in this Stone Crab Mountain City?" He said that he asked the others to rest for a while, and then move around and prepare for a forcible attack.
Zheng Heng sat on a low neck tree, looking at the Stone Crab Mountain City and meditating on how to take it lightly, to be honest, he really didn't have the confidence to storm such a strong city.
Others, even Uesugi Kenshin, Takeda Shingen and others with less than a month of training with 300 soldiers did not have the ability to forcibly conquer the castle held by 100 Ashigaru in a short period of time, and the castle was actually a knowledge that countless people from the ten countries to the local tyrants of a village wanted to master, and whoever mastered this knowledge would be invincible and invincible, and it was not a dream to establish an immortal miracle.
Just as Napoleon said that a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier, and a monarch who lives in a chaotic world and does not want to be a general is not a good monarch. Some people are moving towards this dream, and some people can only wait and look up to that dream.
Zheng Heng found that he was a little crooked, and he returned to the original plan of how to conquer Stone Crab Mountain City, and he really couldn't think of a good plan and strategy.
Akagi knelt under the tree, and with him knelt and sat with him were Atsutaro Kiyokawa, Kogoro Iwase, and Yajiro Matsushima, the latter three of whom were one of the dozen or so people who came to look for Masahiro with Noyama Masatomo and Nobuhiro Nikaido, and were promoted to low-ranking samurai when they captured Nakayama Fan that day, and they took their own surnames.
Atsutaro Kiyokawa, Kogoro Iwase, Yajiro Matsushima and others are all a little dissatisfied with the reuse of Masahiro and Akagi Takao, thinking that they are the first people to follow Masahiro, and they are the families of samurai who have been subordinate to Kogo Castle for generations, and it is common sense that they are dissatisfied with the re-use of the generals. It's just that the martial arts of Taoshan Zhenbei and Akagi Kaohsiung's expertise in internal affairs really make them a little convinced. But he couldn't pull his face down, but no one wanted to kick others away, and no one complained to Zhengheng.
Zheng Heng pondered hard and meditated for a while and finally failed, and in the end he still couldn't get a good plan, he was not an immortal genius who was wiser than Zhuge Kongming and Guan Zhong Zhang Liang, just a slightly clever otaku with hundreds of years of knowledge. Looking at the four people with clear meridians under the tree, he shook his head, he also felt a little headache about the distribution among the retainers, now it is so difficult to bring a small team of only 100 people, let alone in the future, but he is happy to see small conflicts between the retainers, the way of balance is the knowledge of the sovereign, and no sovereign likes to see the monolithic retainers.
Thinking that it was time to reuse the retainers who originally belonged to the Date family, he jumped off the tree, walked up to the four of them and said, "Tell me how this city can be captured in a short time, Akagi, you can express your opinion first!"
Akagi Kaohsiung flashed his blazing eyes, glanced at the three people beside him, and said: "In fact, the siege of the city is nothing more than the lack of food and water, the lack of food is the siege of the city for many days to make the city cut off food, and the water is to use the tunnel to dig up the water veins, but it is impossible to conquer the Stone Crab Mountain City in a short time, this is also the place where the minister can't say why, the minister is stupid and asks for forgiveness for not being able to relieve His Highness's worries!" ”
Zhengheng also has a little dabbling in the siege tactics of this era, and in his previous life, he also checked Baidu to know a rough idea, and the siege tactics are all protracted battles for their willpower, whether it is ancient China or ancient Japan, either the confidence in the siege is completely lost, and the retreat is the will to defend the city is depressed and the city is automatically opened, no matter which China can not be applied, so he said to the other three: "Atsutaro, Kogoro, Yajiro, you also talk about the ideas in your hearts for reference!" ”
Matsushima Yajiro said in a rough voice: "Your Highness, in fact, we have already broken through the strength of the stone crab army, why not bring out the news that the stone crab army is a hundred times stronger and make the soldiers defending the city depressed, so that it is not self-defeating." After speaking, he glanced at Akagi with a smug face.
Zheng Heng looked at the other two and said, "Do you two have any good ideas?" ”
Atsutaro Kiyokawa and Kogoro Iwase glanced at each other and said, "Your Majesty has no opinion, and agrees with Matsushima-kun's proposal." ”
Zhengheng stood up and pointed to the bright stone crab mountain city and said, "Have you seen anything?" ”
Zhengheng hopes that his subordinates will not only have brave generals but also wise generals, he is only one person, he can't do everything himself, and he may be able to see the disadvantages when he is small, and he can't take care of the local details for her who has bigger and stronger in her heart and doesn't want to be a good general. This time, Noyama Yoshitomo and Taoshan Zhenbei were assigned to lead the army separately in order to better train them, and the ability of other retainers should also be improved.
After saying this, Zheng Heng's train of thought suddenly diverged again, during this time he always thought of the wrong direction, and after thinking of the battle situation, he copied Sun Tzu's Art of War and the Thirty-six Strategies and sent it out, so that the retainers could study and learn systematically and open their minds.
In the eyes of the four, Zhengheng has become an unfathomable image.
