Chapter 69 Scholars and Scumbags
"Your Excellency is right, if we now have a lot of long-range weapons such as iron cannons, and can cause too much damage to others in an instant, the enemy may just retreat to Cage City. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Now if it is said that the men and horses of Shinsuke can always form a stalemate with the enemy in the middle, and then surround them from both sides, it is indeed a good opportunity to strike at the enemy's living forces. Inoue said approvingly.
"In that case, do you two still have problems?" Takimoto Temple asked with a smile.
"No, thank you, four adults." The two teenagers saluted them.
"Alright, you two little ones, go get ready! It should be going to start attacking soon, but there must be no mistakes! Jin Zi Yuanzhai said with a wave of his hand.
"Hey!" Inoue and Akashi Junden replied and left quickly.
After the two of them left, the four of them frowned together. Although what he said just now was very relaxed, they also knew very well in their hearts that Imate Tomotaka was not a person who easily let go of the resentment in his heart.
This time, no matter whether the Kuroda family faces the Southern Hyuga National Alliance, the final result is victory or defeat, as long as Imate Tomotaka does not change his personality, they may be recorded in the registration book of Inate Tomotaka and become persona non grata.
The most important thing is that after the four of them, they will have to serve under the Ide Tomo's legion for a long time, so it is very likely that they will be put in small shoes by Imate Tomotaka in the subsequent battles, which is a very disadvantageous thing for them.
But fortunately, they are the direct ministers of Kuroda's high office, and they were only sent to be sent to do the boarding horses, so after the service, they can still return to Kuroda Castle, which is a good thing for them.
But the four of them are already descendants of Kuroda's vocational high school, and they know that they and the Kuroda family are almost now in a situation where they are both prosperous and loss-making, so even if they encounter such a situation, they feel that it doesn't matter if they are wronged, but they must think more about the Kuroda family. As long as the Kuroda family can win the final victory, and they can return to the Kuroda family, then what they have done must be worth it, and they will definitely be rewarded accordingly, which is something that Kuroda Vocational High School has clearly promised them, and such a retainer is what Kuroda Vocational High School hopes for the retainer to be.
If it is said that such a tactic is said to be half-crossing, it is indeed not a very complicated tactic as Takimoto Temple said, and there are often such examples in history, there are Han Xin half-crossing and defeating Long And, and there are also negative cases of Song Xianggong arrogantly letting go of the opportunity. Even during the training class, Kuroda Vocational High School once told many children, including Tomotaka Ide, about this tactic, and gave the above two positive and negative examples.
And what is very strange is that Iate Tomotaka actually listened to it at the time, but in the current situation, this is an obvious tactical use of half-crossing, but he only thinks about making meritorious contributions, and has ignored these.
Sometimes what you have learned, often when you really want to use it, even if you stand in front of that thing, you may not be able to think of how to solve it, Imate Tomotaka is standing in front of you now and can't see it, while Inoue no Fang and Akashi Quanden see through each other's intentions at a glance, this is the difference between a scholar and a scumbag.
Therefore, after the soldiers rested, Imate Tomotaka was still completely unaware of the opponent's strategic intentions, and just rashly decided to immediately attack the opposite side.
We often say that this second generation, that second generation, this is indeed a bad statement, it is a word with a strong derogatory color. The first generation from the end of the micro, such as the Imate Tomo, who had their own dreams when they were young, picked up the weapons in their hands for the cause of the Kuroda family, and overcame obstacles along the way with the Kuroda family, even at the expense of themselves, in exchange for the current flourishing situation of the Kuroda family, which can be said to be a great contribution.
Relatively speaking, the second generation like Imate Tomotaka, because of the hard work of his parents, they have a relatively superior living environment since they were young, and they live a life of eating and opening their mouths, and they don't need to work too hard.
In many cases, they will have their own unique ideas and will also have their own decisions. They don't take things too cautiously, because they feel that they can afford to lose, at least they have the foundation that their parents have worked hard for.
But in many cases, they will want to work hard, just like their parents, to prove their ability through their own efforts. This is the reason why we often think that some second generations are too impulsive, or just brainy, and in fact that should be understood. At least our Imate Tomotaka wants to express himself very much now, but as mentioned above, he doesn't have a brain, and he doesn't ask for other people's opinions, which is the difference between him and Imate Tomoji.
The Kuroda family's 2,000 soldiers began to cross the river under the leadership of Imate Tomotaka's own retainers, because because of his orders, the other troops, including the Liver Fu family, did not move.
This is also because Imate Tomotaka is ready to take all the credit for defeating his opponent in his hands, and when the time comes, he and Imate Tomoshi can boast of their achievements. Even Shigeharu Takenaka praised himself for being calm before, how could he not make some achievements, of course, he didn't know that this was Shigeharu Takenaka's kind words.
Because Takimoto Temple sent the so-called order to Liver Fu Kanryo before, at this time, the wealthy families and people of Osumi Province stayed there honestly, waiting for the arrangement of the Kuroda family in the future.
"The Kuroda family has finally moved." Shimazu Asaha said excitedly.
"Hmmm! We're going to get ready, too. Kitago nodded for a long time.
Although the weather was very good on this day, the sky was clear and blue, but because it had been raining for several days in the Hinata River basin before the Kuroda family left for Hyugakuni, the water flow was still relatively turbulent.
The Hishida River is not a big river, and the water was not deep originally, but after the Kuroda family soldier entered the water, he found that because of the rising water, the water of the Hishida River was able to submerge his knees, and the water flow rate was still very fast, and the situation on the riverbed was complicated, and there were many small undercurrents, and if you were not careful, you could fall. For a soldier who doesn't know how to water, even if it's just that, it's enough to be deadly.
The river was more than ten meters wide, and halfway through the crossing of the Kuroda family's 2,000 men, a small number of vanguard troops were already about to come into contact with the opposite riverbank.
