Chapter 39: Deployment

Iwamcuncheng.

Even from the perspective of Agui, the evil ghost who is invincible, it is definitely not an easy task to capture Iwamura Castle, and it should be said to be extremely difficult.

Xianyanmura Castle is a mountain city built on a high mountain, and Honmaru is located on the top of a mountain with a height of 717 meters. It is different from Kotani Castle or Gifu Castle. It is a stair-style mountain city, completely built on the mountain, not on the side of the mountain or on the side of the mountain, etc.

Although the mountain-tallure means that there are abundant tree resources and different siege tools can be easily made, the problem is that the Honmaru of Iwamura Castle is located at the highest point on the mountain.

Want to attack? First, you have to climb a mountain...

On the slope, many large siege weapons have no room to be used. Unless they bring cannons called the God of War, the problem is that there are very few large tubes in Japan at present, and those Daming and the city lord who have cannons can calculate them with ten fingers.

Finally, if you take a step back, you really have artillery like Ah Gou, or even a professional artillery team, you don’t really think about Iwamura Castle, because in the face of such a mountain city, unless Japan has exhibited branched mortars at this time, the effect will only be a little higher than that of a catapult.

To capture Iwamura City, Ah Quan believed that with current technology and tactics, only the most primitive methods can be used: strong attack or surround.

The first method is unwise to attack hard. Even if Iwamura Castle is hindered from the structure of the mountain cast, there is no Tianshou in the Moon Maru but only a square crankshaft, its stone tanks are down layer by layer, and the path is twists and turns. Even if the enemy attacks Iwamura Castle Ninomaru, it will be difficult to inject Moon Maru in one breath.

What's more, Iwamura Castle not only has Ninomaru but also Sannomaru. There are a lot of defensive constructions inside and outside Sannomaru, such as Extramaru, Stacked Bridge, Sanduosu, etc.

Takenaka Shigeshi once simply calculated that if you want to use your military force to attack Iwamura City with one thousand defenders, you will have to use at least twenty times, that is, twenty thousand people.

This is obviously unprofitable, and the Takeda family cannot consume 20,000 people here.

Surrounded?

If the dog is not here, surrounding is the most preferable among the two methods, but the problem is that the dog is here.

The evil spirit who mistook money as money brought a lot of rice and grain, which were stored in Iwamura Castle, Mingzhi Castle, Iiyu Mountain Castle and Naigi Castle, with the function of resisting the siege of Takeda Army.

Especially in Iwamura Castle, Ninomaru's rice trunk is filled with rice grain and dried meat that is enough for 3,000 people to eat for a year. Outside the rice trunk, there is also an expanded reservoir "Benten Pond". As long as it rains within three months of the siege, the water will not be cut off, and there is no fear that the well water will be poisoned by the ninja from the source.

So if you want to surround it, you will have to surround it for at least a year before you have the chance to conquer it...

Time is exactly what the Oda family needs, and in less than a year, Oda Nobunaga may be able to arrive with reinforcements in half a month. It is not necessarily so obvious who will be the prey.

After considering many reasons, Ah Gou set up the main line of defense this time in Iwamura Castle, and even regarded Iwamura Castle as the most important nail leading to Gifu!

"Mino Masato!"

"Master!"

A-gou was the last one to enter the hall, not because she was a habit of being late, but because the generals usually only attended the seats in the end, just as Nobunaga the judge appeared last.

Because Iwamura Castle does not have Tianshou, the main hall is located in the residence of Honmaru.

The dog who came to the main seat was wearing a pink three-headed dog and had three samurai swords around her waist, one of which was Murasu without scabbards. When the dog sat down, the samurai present became nervous because she always seemed full of murderous aura.

On the left side of Azumi are the retainers and subordinates of the Oda family of the County, namely Oda Nobumasa, Maeda Keijiro, Takenaka Shigeji, Nobuzu Nobuzu Nobuzu, Laitsuka, Yoshida Shigesuka, Nobuzu Nobuzuno, Nobuzuno of Yoshida Shigesuka, Nobuichi Akase, Nobuka Nobuka Nobuka, etc.

On the right are all allies and strengths, namely the Toyama family in Higashimio: Iwamura's lord, Far Mountain Jingren, knowing that the City Lord Far Mountain Jingling, Far Mountain Lord Far Mountain Tomoto, Far Mountain Lord Far Mountain Tomoto, and Far Mountain Tomoto, the City Lord Far Mountain Tomoto.

There are also people from the Oda family who did not follow Nobunaga to fight: Nobuhiro Oda, Hidetaka Kawajiri, and Mori Nagake.

Finally, there are allies of the Tokugawa family: Yasumasaki Kazuhara and Naoto Ii.

If Ah Gou had the confidence to defeat Takeda Shingen, she would never accept the reinforcements from the Mikawa people, but unfortunately she was not optimistic about the outcome of the battle.

Although I can't believe in the Tokugawa family, Azuki actually agrees with Nobumasa's doubts before. In fact, the Tokugawa family does not have any reason to serve as an insider.

The point is that the samurai sent by Tokugawa Ieyasu this time is not the cunning Tadaji Sakai or the impulsive and reckless Tadaka Honta. It is for the young, courageous, brave and resourceful Kazumasa Kazuhara. He does not look like a samurai who can do extraordinary behavior. The other is the female Inato Ichi, who has just lost the city and needs military achievements. Similarly, she may be very brave for her military achievements.

As for these two candidates, Takenaka Shigeji and Nobumasaki both believed that the Tokugawa family had no unspeakable intentions. Therefore, Ah Goun let go of his guard and did not refuse their help, but he still did not completely let go of his guard. At most, they would only place them in a less important position.

"Everyone, according to the information sent back by the ninja, the 30,000 troops of the Takeda family will arrive in about two days." Oda Nobumasa temporarily took over the position of Akase Kiyoro and said to everyone.

A-gou has never liked to talk nonsense. As soon as the show started, she made it clear that she had no time to be sure of them. The next thing was to fight.

Many people present had a concept of the time of the final battle long before the meeting. At this time, Ah Gou stated again that it did not cause much reaction, and many samurai present just nodded.

However, what Ah Gou announced next made the warriors who were completely unaware of it either frown and pondered or were stunned. Even though their expressions were different, they all looked incredible.

"I will choose Uemura to fight the battlefield with Takeda Army!"

Shangcun, north of Iwamura, belongs to a basin. In the mountains of Toméno, it is one of the few places where large army battles can be launched.

Yes, even though Ah Goun had less than 10,000 troops under her command, she still planned to engage in a dignified field battle with the 30,000 troops of Takeda's army.

"Mino Masato, please think twice!" Toyama Keren, the lord of Iwamura Castle, and a family of the Oda family, married a princess of the Oda family. If it is only considered seniority, it is Azuki and Nobunaga's uncle.

But on this occasion, Toyama Keiren cannot suppress Anu as an elder. Besides, even as an elder, it is useless. Isn’t Oda Nobuhidhi the father of Anu? Anu also ignored his orders back then.

"No need to persuade, this decision is necessary."

Ah Gou didn't want to explain because it was related to the next tactics. If anyone here surrendered to Takeda's army, it would cause failure - it was a conspiracy, not an open conspiracy.

When Jing Ren of Yuanshan wanted to say something again, he saw Yuanshan Tomoto shook his head next to him. He had to swallow what he wanted to say back into his stomach, but he decided that he would never be the pioneer of this battle...

Funny, making contributions is not the moment, the opponent is Takeda Shingen!

No one in the Toyama family opposed it, and of course there was no Oda Moto family. How could Nobuhiro forget the horror of her sister? Anyway, whatever she said during the war was, and most of the time she was right.

As for the two Tokugawa family, it is impossible to object. The group of Oda family members on the opposite side saw them as if they saw military achievements, which made Ii Naoto feel uncomfortable...

Fortunately, Oda Nobumasato indirectly rescued her, and he also stated a series of arrangements-

"Then the next item, besides the Iwamura Castle, knowing that the Castle and Ianbama Castle will also arrange garrisons..."

"The pioneer of this battle..."

"Left behind in Iwamura Castle..."

In the Iwamura Castle Hall, Oda Nobumasara explained the arrangements that had been discussed and improved in Hachiman Castle one by one, and arranged their positions.

The war is about to begin.

According to the practice, the third update will be tomorrow
Chapter completed!
