The 123rd chapter bait (1)
At this moment, on the other side of Onogawa, a large number of black-bottomed yellow crane patterns and banners of important families such as the Pu Sheng family suddenly turned out from behind the mountain. The number was large, and at first glance, there were more than seven or eight thousand people. Everyone was shocked and the offensive was also stagnant. As the Hexao family troops gradually began to line up on the other side of the river, the Hexao family footsight visible in their field of view also reached nearly 10,000.
"Damn it, do you only have one or two thousand people left to defend yourself in this formation?" Yu Qiuping looked at the huge number of Hexao Army, "How did Hexao Yoshi-hyun know that we have no spare energy? Are you not afraid of being raided by our formation!"
The 4ooo people who arrived in the hexagram army had completed the array and headed straight for Onogawa, as if they were planning to bypass the Yamaoka family's troops and double-team the Asai family's flanks.
"Zhangzheng, let's retreat!" Yu Qiuping hurried to Nagamasa Asai and suggested, "We only have 4,500 people, and most of them have begun fighting with the Yamaoka family. After the Hexagonal reinforcements arrive in large numbers, we will be in danger!"
"No! Then will this big move be futile soon?" Asai Nagamasato's face turned red and he waved his fist angrily, "Before the reinforcements arrive, defeat the Takaoka army first!"
"No, be sure! It's not time to fight to the death!" Yu Qiuhei grabbed Asai Nagamasa, "You fight now, the chance of winning is not high. If you lose the Asai family, it's over. You can't even maintain your status as Lingzun! Nagamasa! Be calm!"
"Damn it!" Asai Nagamasara roared, "Damn it, it's just a while away! The Rikioka family is two quarters of an hour late, and the Yamaoka family will be finished!" In desperation, he had to order the various troops to stop fighting, break off contact, and slowly evacuate. The disrupted Yamao family was also unable to pursue it, watching the Asai Army and the Akao family's troops retreat to the north.
After the Rangers returned, the team that had a feint attack on the front also began to retreat slowly. When they retreated, they were killed and injured by pursuers and bows and arrows, and finally retreated to the other side. They once broke through the second fence, but after the reinforcements from the Mutou family arrived, they were beaten back again. Seeing the main army was fully dispatched, the defenders in the Saheyama Castle mistakenly thought it was the beginning of the general attack, and also opened the city gate to attack, trying to cooperate inside and outside, but were driven back to the city by the remaining troops.
At the second hour of noon, all the Asai family troops left the south of Yakura River and returned to their main formation located in Mihara. After most of the day of attack today, the Asai family killed 106 people and injured more than 30 people, but failed to make any progress.
The post-war assessment meeting on the afternoon of August 15th was very low in the assessment tent.
"There is no progress at all!" Yu Sen Qingzhen punched her fist on the table. In today's day's battle, his troops were responsible for the frontal feint attack and suffered the greatest damage, but they failed to find the weaknesses on the Hexao family's defense line.
"We are not many people, and we still have to attack, which is really too forced." Yu Qiuhei sighed. Because he changed history, the Norada Hokage in his previous life seemed to be unable to bear it. Yu Qiuhei looked at the map and found out that Norada was located in Aichi County, while the battlefield is now in Sakata County. Then, he could not be sure whether Asai Nagamasa would win. He was filled with annoyance and regret and was extremely depressed.
Panasonic Qingruan and Sanada Masayuki were also on the side, and they were also serious in their faces, holding a stack of papers and maps full of information, thinking about something.
"At that time, I don't know who refused to send troops immediately! It was because Saya Yama Castle was surrounded, so we fell into such a situation!" Yumori Kiyosaki looked at Akao Kiyoto angrily. The latter was also in a bad mood because of the defeat in the battle, and immediately cursed back with anger: "It was too late to go at that time! Lord Amin and Lord Onoki gathered the night before, but they were still unable to catch up!"
"Stop arguing, now is not the time to argue whose responsibility is." Haibei Tsuna shook his head, "The Hexao family's hand is indeed unexpected."
"Just use it like this, we can't use it!" Endo shouted in a loud voice, "If you want this opportunity to come to the field battle quickly! Just win!"
"The Hexao family is sure to win if they have been leveraging the geography. How could they fight with us?" Haibei Teng sighed in person.
"Sawa Yama Castle has not much food, it's only been more than ten days." Shigetsu Onoki looked at the south side worriedly, "When the food is finished, what should Genzaburo do?"
"According to Lord Isono's routine, he may be able to attack the enemy for the death. Sao Yama Castle will also be lost by then." Akao Kiyoto continued, "But... there are too many people in Sao Yama Castle. If there are no those people... Isono might have persisted for a longer time."
"There are no people!" Asai Nagamasa keenly captured the problem in Akao's words and suddenly became furious, "What do you mean? Do you want Lord Isono to kill the people for food? Are you crazy!"
"If it weren't like that, Sao Yama Castle would be lost!" Akao Kiyoto said in a muffled voice: "If Sao Yama Castle is lost, we will lose the passage to enter the Nano River! We can only be beaten by the Hexao family!"
"Actually..." Asano Shin-Zheng-Zheng-speaking, "There is no other way to protect Sawa Yama Castle."
"What's the solution?" Asai Nagamasa and Akao Kiyoto looked over together.
"Yes..." Ahma Zhenzheng avoided the eyes of the two and whispered: "Negotiation."
"Negotiation? Negotiation?" Asai Nagamasa was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Amazaki Shin-Zheng meant, "Do you want me to ask for peace? You ask for peace from the Hexaki family like a humiliatingly?"
"If you don't ask for peace when you are killed, you can have a fight! You can die happily!" Endo Naoju was the first to stand up to oppose, "If you still want to negotiate peace and surrender, it's better to let the old lord continue to serve as the family supervisor! The conditions for our negotiations this time are only more harsh!"
"When I was not as good as the old lord, I shouldn't have declared war!" The head of the family and Madoga Satoga said angrily. At that time, he supported Asai Nagamasa to succeed the throne, so he had a reserved attitude. "If this kind of fuss is good, Inugu County will definitely not be able to be protected! It's better to be like before!"
"The men of the Asai family will never bow to the enemy as before!" Asai Nagamasa roared in a low voice, "There is anyone who dares to talk about peace..."
"It's not that there is no progress!" Matsushita Qingluan suddenly seemed to wake up from a dream, interrupting Asai Nagamasa's words with words. This was a very impolite behavior. His inexplicable words suddenly attracted everyone's attention. The originally tense tent suddenly became quiet.
"Ban Bingwei, what are you doing?" Yu Qiuping pulled his clothes, "Why was it shocked?"
"Who is this! There is no place for you to speak here!" Yu Sen Qingzhen scolded viciously.
"It's my friend I invited, don't make things difficult for him." Asai Nagamasa shook his head, "Master Panasonic, do you feel anything uncomfortable?"
"No." Matsushita shook his head lightly, stood up silently, raised his hand confidently, and pointed to Hirota Castle in Nanoe on the map, "But I am willing to issue a military order."
He turned his head and looked at everyone present with pride.
"Within five days, no hexagon breaks, no heads are left."
The next day, on the evening of August 16, northwest of Minami Guanyin Temple Castle, in Hita Castle, Aichi County, ten miles away from Lake Biwa.
The city lord Takanose Hidetaka is a wealthy family under the Hexao family, but he has never had much harmony with the Hexao family. Instead, there have been many conflicts due to territorial disputes. There have been rumors in the territory that the Hexao family is thinking about how to get rid of the Takanose family. Although Takanose Hidetaka doesn't believe it, he always has a knot in his heart.
However, something that happened before made him hate the Hexao family and he really began to be wary of the Hexao family.
His father, who took office as the leader of the Lord, Raiding Takanose, was arranged to attack alone as a ranger when he followed the Hexaki family to fight. Although he made great contributions, no one rescued him after the raid. Raiding Takanose was killed on the spot, and his family suffered heavy losses.
After that, the Hexao family not only did not give the Takano Se family pension or territory rewards, but instead confiscated many territories in the southeast of Hitachi Castle on the grounds of going to war privately and turned them into direct leadership of the Hexao family.
Takase Hidetaka was furious about this, but he did not dare to take any action. Because the Hexao family was too powerful, and his residence was so close to Guanyin Temple Castle. It was coming day and night. If there was a slight movement, it would be destroyed immediately. However, the hatred for the Hexao family in Takase Hidetaka's heart became more and more intense due to depression.
This time, the Hexao family almost summoned the rich families in the leadership to convene the Asai family, but they did not summon the Takano Se family, which made the whole family as anxious as an ants on a hot pan. Because this shows that the Hexao family already suspected that the Takano Se family and the Asai family had an ulterior motive. The Takano Se family had indeed had close contacts with the Asai family's Haike Tsuna before. If the Hexao family had lost the battle and the Haike family was exposed, the Hexao army returned to the west to fight, and even if the Hita Castle was surrounded by water on three sides was easy to defend but difficult to attack, it would be difficult to escape the word "dea".
Just as Takase Hidetaka was standing at the top of the city and nervously looking at the Sawayama battlefield twenty miles northeast, hoping that the Asai family would win, a messenger suddenly ran up.
"Your Highness." The messenger knelt down and said, "A fleet of ships on Uze River came to visit, saying that he was bringing the mandarin fish to see Your Highness."
"Huh? Fleet?" Takase Hidetaka's expression changed, and the mandarin fish was the code he contacted with the Haibei family. He hurriedly said, "Let them in."
The fleet is still a large fleet, and it took a lot of effort to unload the cargo. The guys unloaded a large box of goods with all their might. Not to mention, the fleet seems to be quite large, with nearly 200 people alone.
After a while, the caravan's goods were transported in, and the city gate slowly closed behind them. The leader was still a young man, and was taken to the Tianshou Pavilion to meet Takanose Hidetaka.
"Master Takanose, the mandarin fish you have been talking about has been delivered to you." The young man smiled and took out the seal from Haibei Takashi and looked at Takanose Hidetaka.
"Thank you for your kindness." Takase Hidetaka understood and shut the people around him and asked in a low voice: "Who is yours? What's the matter if Master Haibei sent you here?"
"I'm in Haikai, the adopted son of Master Haikai." Masayuki Sanada whispered, "I've met Master Takanose."
"I have never heard of you before." Takase Hidetaka Takase was a little confused.
"My father was worried that if he was a famous person, he might be recognized. So he sent him to come down." Sanada Masayuki explained.
"What's going on?" Takase Hidetaka asked straightforwardly.
"I'm here to ask the adults to be bait."
The time goes back to the afternoon of August 15th, and the rating account is in the big tent.
"Bail?" Everyone looked at Panasonic in surprise.
"Yes, let Feitiancheng be used as bait." Panasonic calmly, but had already planned the whole plan: "Now, the Hexao family regards Saiheshancheng as bait to catch our fish. The Hexao family is like a fisherman waiting for us to take the bait."
"So, we also need to prepare a bait to fish for the Hexao family." Matsushita pointed to Hirota Castle lightly. "Before I saw in the information, the lord of Hirota Castle, Takase Hidetaka was extremely resentful to the Hexao family and had a good relationship with us. The Hexao family has not brought them with me yet, so they obviously have a grudge against them. The Takase family must also be full of doubts about this. Just send someone to instigate them."
"This is not difficult..." Haibei Takashi said in person, "I have been in contact with Lord Takanose for a long time, and he has indeed rebelled. In addition, after the Hexaki family killed his father and deprived her of the land, they did not even take him to fight him, which would definitely make him even more worried. It is probably not difficult to instigate him."
"Fitan Castle is not far from Guanyin Temple City, just next to the Hexao Family's Grain Road. Once it reverses, the Hexao Family will be angry and embarrassed. For the safety of the residence and supply line, they will return to the army to besiege Feitian Castle. Feitian Castle has become our bait to lure the Hexao Family to take the bait. How easy is it to retreat in front of the enemy? After crossing Omi, the official road from Saoshan to Futian Castle is not spacious. When the Hexao Family retreats, the army must evacuate separately. Once the Hexao Family retreats, we will chase them and seize the opportunity to fight a field battle on the way from Saoshan to Futian Castle and defeat a part of the enemy!" Matsushita said with confidence, "If the Hexao Family ignores Futian Castle, we can even send troops to raid the Hexao Family's supply line from Biwa Lake to Futian Castle, so that the Hexao Family will be cut off from Saoshan Castle and let the Hexao Family's food be cut off first!"
"A clever plan!" Asai Nagamasa exclaimed excitedly, and the important officials around him also showed a look of joy. "I will prepare a generous gift tonight and send it to Lord Takase!" Haibei Tsuna said in person.
"Let Masayuki Sanada go and see him off." Yu Qiuhei volunteered, "He is the best at this kind of sleeping opposite."
"When did you leave such an impression on Lord Yuqiu?" Masayuki Sanada smiled bitterly.
