Chapter 73: Sanhe is really talented
Of course, Matsuhei Motoyashi didn't know that Oda Nobunaga's army had taken down Naruto Castle.
If he knew, he wouldn't have acted as a general attacker.
His troops were entangled with Oda Nobunaga throughout the whole process and never let Oda Nobunaga's troops leave too far. There were defenders in Naruto City, and he had no idea how Oda Nobunaga took down Naruto City.
Gao Xianda didn't know either.
When he and Okabe Motonobu came out of Naruto, he left 20 people in Naruto. The one he was guarding against was Oda Nobunaga who came to steal the city.
The 2oo troops, with sufficient bows and arrows, face the Oda family's two thousand men, and it will be fine to support for one or two days. Coupled with Gao Xianda's harassment, you will definitely be able to wait for the arrival of reinforcements.
By then, Oda Nobunaga will be wiped out.
Who knew that Oda Nobunaga had such ability to take down Naruto City without bloodshed, and let the defenders of Naruto City use it for him.
Gao Xianda said: "I think there must be masters in the middle of their team. The tactics of taking down Minghai City and pretending to attack the city and luring the enemy into depth are not something ordinary people can think of. Using the refusal to defend, the battle formation of muskets shooting from the back is also very powerful. Moreover, the person who knocked me out just now is not small, and I am afraid it is a brave general. It may not be that easy to break up their morale and make them surrender for a while."
The formal military conference stage is now entered.
Although Gao Xianda has few troops, his status is high, and Matsuhei Motokaku should have followed Gao Xianda's arrangements. However, Gao Xianda wanted to see Matsuhei Motokaku's skills.
So Gao Xianda said: "We have two ways to choose now. One is to pursue the victory and attack the city at any cost. This will inevitably lead to heavy losses. The second is to retreat slightly. The three forts established by the Oda family nearby have been taken down by us, and we have a stronghold to defend. Then we will wait for the reinforcements from Okazaki Castle to arrive. What do you think?"
Matsuhira Motoyasu looked at Tadaji Sakai next to him and said, "How many people are left?"
Tadaji Sakai said, "Sir, our vanguard troops have a total of 1,273 people this time, and there are still 8o6 people who have maintained combat effectiveness. The remaining 93 people died in battle and 374 people were slightly injured."
Matsuhira Motoyashi nodded and said, "I get it."
Gao Xianda immediately respected Tadaji Sakai. In a short period of time, he was able to count the number of casualties of soldiers to the heads. On the one hand, strict military discipline is one aspect, and on the other hand, it also shows that Tadaji Sakai's mathematics is very good.
Gao Xianda's subordinates do not have as good people as math. His math skills are not very good, and the cavalry captain is even worse. Gao Xianda asked about the number of people, and he only told Gao Xianda that there are 2 people who can fight now.
Before he could go back to the fort and have dinner, he could not count the specific number of people.
Matsuhira Motoyasu asked Hattori Hanzo again, "As far as you know, how many people can the Oda family be left?"
"The Oda Army has more troops than we expected. He dispatched three teams under the city this time, each team of 500 people, which is 1500 people. In addition, he also has a 3000 musket team, divided into two teams. In Naruto, the soldiers who attacked the city and the soldiers guarding the city wall, it is estimated that there will be 2000 people. All of them are counted, which is 2000 people." Hattori Hanzo took a step forward and replied, "But after this night of battle, his
The main force suffered heavy losses. The Ninoha Nagahide's troops guarding the flanks were defeated by the troops of Lord Shima. The Sakuma Nobuma troops behind the palace were also eaten by our army. Basically, only Oda Nobunaga's team was injured less and most of them retreated to the city. The Oda army's musket team suffered heavy casualties this time, and less than one hundred people fled back to the city. The soldiers are counting the number of muskets seized. If we count the original 2oo people in Naruto City, the number of people in the city should be between seven or eight hundred."
"Another good math." Gao Xianda said intimately.
People who do spy work should indeed have sufficient sensitivity to military information.
"Eight hundred vs. Eight hundred..." Matsuhei Motoyaku pondered, "If we count the two hundred cavalry of Lord Shi Zhen, our number is dominant, and they do not have the support of the Musketeers..."
Gao Xianda said, "There are the dominant numbers, but they occupy the geography of the castle. Moreover, my cavalry troops are of no use in siege. You can't ride a horse on the wall."
"What the master said is." Matsuhei Motokaku pondered, "Siege is not as good as field battles. If we are outside the city, our Sanhe heroes will use one to three against the weak soldiers of Ozawa. But if we attack the city, they will probably be the one who will be the three of us above the city wall. Since that's the case, as the master said, we should first find a camp to station and wait for the arrival of reinforcements."
Of course, Gao Xianda understood what he meant. Gao Xianda's subordinates were all cavalry and could not be used to attack the city. So could Matsuhei Motokara use his subordinates to fill in the pit?
This vanguard army is all from Sankawa. Matsuhei Motoyashi was not the chief general appointed by Imakawa Yoshimoto, but was elected because of his identity as the young master of Okazaki Castle. This Sankawa army is his biggest reliance and he is reluctant to take it out and consume it.
Gao Xianda closed his eyes slightly and said, "Reinforcements must be invited, but I don't know when they will arrive. If they come, our morale will be gone long ago. And the wounded soldiers under Oda Nobunaga's men may have recovered. Oda Nobunaga is full of tricks and doesn't know what tricks will be played by then. His lord's 10,000 team was attacked by him. Can we definitely capture the city with another two thousand reinforcements?"
"Sir, do you mean to continue siege?" asked Matsuhei Motoyasu.
Gao Xianda said: "Since your subordinates are all very important, the vanguard always has to play its role."
Matsuhira Motoyashi's abacus was originally very good.
He originally thought that Naruhiro Castle was still under the control of the Imakawa family, and Oda Nobunaga escaped all the way. With the combat ability of his Sankawa soldiers, he used 12oo elite soldiers to fight the 18oo deserters, and coupled with the double-sided attacks of Naruhiro Castle, he could still fight.
Defeating Oda Nobunaga's team is a great contribution.
After Imakawa Yoshimoto was assassinated, the main force of the Imakawa family was damaged. If he could take advantage of the situation to attack the city of Kiyosu, he could control the entire territory of Ozawa. At that time, he would be self-reliant, and even if he declared independence, the Imakawa family might not be able to control it.
Moreover, Imakawa Yoshimoto died under Oda Nobunaga's men. If he attacked Oda Nobunaga, he would have avenged Imakawa Yoshimoto. The people of the Imakawa family were always unable to put their faces down and attacked him directly.
At that time, as long as he surrenders to the Imakawa family on the surface and pays tribute on time, he will not go to Junfu City if he is beaten to death. I am afraid that Imakawa family will not be able to do anything to him.
