Chapter Thirty-Three: The Beginning of the Battle
In February 1564, Oda Nobunaga moved the main account from Kiyosu to Komakiyama Castle, while the original Komakiyama Castle lord Azuki was transferred to Shinjiujo Castle.
In March of the same year, the Oda family mobilized 5,000 troops to leave Komakiyama Castle and attack Ghana City in Mino in an attempt to open the gate to Inabayama Castle...
Some people are always idle, including Oda Nobunaga, the master of Oda family.
Since the establishment of the Castle in Sumata and the recapture of the Nineteen Jojo Castle, the Simimino area has become a territory of the "Fasaito Family". The Saito Family lord and samurai have been constantly showing goodwill to the Oda Family and surrendering to the Oda Family.
Oda Nobunaga achieved the strategic goal of cutting off the Saito family, and at the same time, Nobunaga did not lose sight of Tomino. In that almost autonomous state, he used his marriage with the Takeda family in the famous Takeda family to show his strength, which immediately turned these forces that were swaying in Takeda and the Saito family into a wait-and-see state.
After completing the above two strategic goals, the only one that seemed difficult to conquer Oda Nobunaga was the only one in front of Inabayama Castle and its defense system.
"It's not difficult, just like an orange, you can slowly lift the skin and eat its flesh."
Nobunaga was even more abnormal, no longer using quick raids as the tactic of this time, but began to convene the army in early March, and then it was not until mid-March that the entire Ohara Castle Lord, Samurai and Football Light were summoned.
Five thousand troops were the first time Oda Nobunaga personally brought so many things, and the retainers and samurai present were not far from the New Year's visit. In addition, the retainers and retainers, there were almost 300 samurai orders. When Ahzu entered the city, many small town lords who could only be seen once a year also came with about ten flags.
"If this battle is successful, Mino will be included in our territory within half a year."
When Ah Gou listened to Nobunaga's very bad-hearted speech, she always felt like "I won't lose, right?"
Although Anu's injuries had been cured for a long time, Nobunaga did not go out in the previous few small battles in order to train his retainers. This was her first time since her injury. Anu also brought the Dog Bei over, but his deputy had changed from Akase Kiyoro to Oda Nobumasa, and the number of Dog Bei under him was less than 100.
Although Akase Kiyoro was miraculously not dead, he did not have the terrible vitality of Azuki. Even if he could barely walk, he could no longer go to the battlefield. It has been more than a year since that battle, and he had just gotten out of bed half a year ago. Although Azuki wanted him to rest, he was unable to make enough staff, and Akase Kiyoro didn't want to rest. In the end, he became an instructor who specialized in training recruits.
In the last battle, the dogs who stayed in Ono Castle were not counted, and they directly lost more than 40% of the number of people, which made the dogs who had been following the elite soldiers policy not have enough effort. Even if they had always had a reserve team, directly adding 40% of the new dogs to the array would greatly reduce their combat power. Moreover, the dogs also realized the shortcomings of a single elite soldiers: there is no cannon fodder that can test the trap.
Ah Gou didn't want to lie in bed for another month, and her children were restricted and could not do anything. Moreover, Xue Ji had already been to Takeda's house as a wife, and there was only one Wude. Ah Gou felt that it was not cost-effective to be injured.
Finally, she thought of establishing a dog-proper army, a horse-riding infantry similar to battlefield engineers.
certainly--
"Impossible." Oda Nobumasa shook his head from the quality of Buego.
"Impossible." Akase Kiyoro shook his head from the training time.
"Impossible!" Maeda Keijiro was purely messed up.
Ah Quan's idea was opposed by all the retainers because the "battlefield engineer" she wanted was actually more difficult to train than cavalry!
The reason for wanting a team of battlefield engineers is that Ah You thought of the battle of Sumata One Night City and Nineteen Jojo Castle. If there is a team that can quickly complete the position construction and quickly remove the trap, it will definitely be impeccable. The envelope will not be lost because of the original shortcomings of the city, and she will not be injured, and she will not need to use One Night City to take risks and deceive.
"Okay, then let's change it to an ordinary horse-riding infantry, as the reserve team of the dog reserve team!" Ah Gou decided so at that time.
Due to the decrease in difficulty, the number of people in this new army is proud to set it to one thousand. However, all the retainers can foresee that full staff is definitely a task that cannot be completed temporarily, and it is impossible to reach half of it, because the source of troops is a big problem. The noble does not want this army to be a group of old and weak, and even if it is weak, it must at least be young and have potential.
This time, Ah Turtle brought Turtle and this new army that had been established less than half a year ago to Komakiyama Castle. The two armies totaled more than 400. When the warriors in the training ground saw Ah Turtle's sudden increase in numbers, each retainer was full of confidence, because the equipment of the new army was very similar to that of Turtle, and they also rode horses. However, the horns on the helmet of the new army were very short, and in terms of weapons and other equipment, the new army was infantry shields, spears and knives, while the real dog was riding a rifle, javelin and knives.
In short, this team is the new army's attention to Ajutsu, and in the eyes of most samurai in the Oda family, they are as elite as the kashimoto.
The commander of the new army was Oda Nobuharu, and the deputy commander was Oda Nobuyi. Other intermediate samurai were the backbone of the young next generation. The purpose of Azuki was very obvious, which was to let them collect experience. In the end, the name of the new army was also generously handed over to the hands of the two adopted sons, but the result still disappointed many retainers who thought they had a better name.
Loyal dogs.
It means an army that is loyal to A-dog and assists dogs.
In short, they feel that the military power of their family should be inseparable from the word "dog" for the rest of their lives...
"Onodian, please come and conduct a military discussion."
A-gou nodded and waved to the two adopted sons behind him, "Ninhard and Shin-yi come together."
"yes!"
Azuki didn't think that her two sons would follow her for a long time, because Nobunaga had noticed their talents long ago, and even told Azuki that she would take more responsibilities in the future, so she naturally would not hide it and let them join these major meetings of the Oda family.
After a while, Ah Goun and the other two arrived at the military conference venue. Ah Goun must be next to Nobunaga, while Nobunaga and Nobuyoshi could only stand in the last seat.
"Sir Xinqing, Lord Xinyi!"
Nobuharu Oda scratched his head. He could not have imagined that the brothers from the Lianmori family were there. It seemed that this time he had to listen to these two long and long-winded words again.
In fact, Azuki is almost the last one to come, but there are still some people who come later than her, that is the hottest rising star Kinoshita Hideyoshi, now among the Oda family.
Kinishi Hideyoshita has been the most glorious time in his life for more than a year. Not only was he promoted to the general of the family, but he also served as the castle of the important cities, becoming a powerful retainer and forming a group of retainers of high quality. No one looked down upon the person who could only warm straw sandals to improve his status, and once he became the most promising samurai in the Oda family.
"Ono Temple." Kinishi Hideyoshita greeted Azuki first, just like explaining to other retainers that he had support from Azuki, the family.
Ah Gou just glanced at him and had no idea.
If he was injured, Azuki would definitely find a way to get rid of the "Hyukiyoshi" who might have been threatened by the Oda family, but now there is no. The reason is that Kinoshita Hideyoshi is definitely a talented person and an indispensable member of the Oda family at present. Azuki also knows that she is not invincible in the world. After being injured, even Xiaoling can take away the sword from her hand and know that it is.
so?
Eliminating the Kinoshita Hiru is basically an act of destroying the Great Wall. There may not be any "Hennoji Incident". As long as there is another Takenaka Shigeji in the enemy, the Oda family may have fallen down in a joint battle.
After a while, Nobunaga also arrived and officially launched a military discussion...
But at about the same time, Saito Ryuki was also discussing countermeasures with his retainers.
Since his last failure, Saito Ryuki has begun to give up on himself, no longer trying to actively participate in political affairs, but instead put all his energy on the woman's belly. As a result, he has successfully gained many children in the past few months.
Although he did not punish Takenaka Shigeji, who made suggestions afterwards, he instigated other Saito samurai to laugh at him.
Of course, when something goes wrong, Saito Ryuki would still ask Takenaka Shigeji to inquire, and now is that time...
"Hanbianwei! Do you have a way?"
Sitting at the bottom of Takenoko Shige put away his folding fan and looked at Saito Ryuki.
"What's wrong? Is there anything?" Saito Ryuki was impatient. He felt a little unhappy about Takenaka Shigeji's appearance.
"Of course there is."
Takenaka Shigeji had confidence on his face, but more solemn, because he received the news that the once injured evil dog had returned and was carrying more dog preparations, as difficult as an evil ghost that could not be killed...
