Chapter 1203: The whole army prepares for war, the abyss of the Takeda family
"Boss, let me tell you the truth, don't you think it's very bullying when you do this?"
The concepts of explosive packs and fixed ammunition, military commanders in the Warring States Period simply didn't understand what they were, so they couldn't understand them.
Liu Shiba turned his head to look at the old driver, then turned to look at a group of old Takeda family officials who were staring at him, not knowing why, and grinned and said:
"I don't know how to bully people, I just know that I have to survive. Besides, the Tokugawa and Oda coalition forces took advantage of the old master's death from illness to lead a large army to attack the city and seize territory. Isn't this called bullying?"
"That's right! The Tokugawa Army and the Oda Allied Army have 12,000 people, while our Takeda Army in Komaba only has 3,000 people. They are the bullies."
I didn't understand anything else about the racecourse, but I did understand who was bullying others.
"Aunt Cuihua!"
Liu Shiba stopped talking to the old driver and turned to look at Cuihua.
"I'm here."
Cuihua's eyes flashed with inexplicable excitement.
"Archer, after a night of training by you, are you ready for use?"
Liu Shiba asked.
Cuihua's eyes flashed and she smiled sweetly:
"These native leopard soldiers cannot change their bow skills in a short time, but I have taught them some archery skills. If used in the right place, it should have miraculous effects."
"oh?"
Liu Shiba looked at Aunt Cuihua with interest.
"Archers are not suitable for hand-to-hand combat, front-line confrontation, sniping, and pursuit. They are most suitable for secret attacks when the enemy is defeated."
Cuihua tilted her head and thought for a while before explaining.
Liu Shiba nodded, looked at Meng Tianfang and asked:
"Yamamoto Tenfang, how are the cavalry prepared?"
Meng Tianfang grinned, looked at Ergou and his wife, turned to Liu Shiba and said:
"Cavalry is the most suitable for raids and pursuits! In the case of raids, these three hundred cavalrymen will be useless if they are thrown into a large battlefield!"
"How do you plan to use your troops?"
Liu Shiba said doubtfully.
"The explosive packs, Zen Shizhihai, I have seen by chance. I saw the forty-six soldiers who gave me the fifty explosive packs.
When the frontal battlefield is blocked or the battle becomes difficult, how about I lead a surprise attack with three hundred cavalry, and the explosive pack will just break the enemy's courage?"
Meng Tianfang expressed his thoughts thoughtfully.
"Sanada Mino Mamoru."
Liu Shiba nodded and looked at Sanada Masayuki.
"ha!"
Sanada Masayuki stood up and shouted in agreement.
"After eliminating the old and weak, how many soldiers will Ashigaru have that can fight?"
Liu Shiba asked.
"Excluding the auxiliary troops, there were originally less than two thousand capable soldiers. Lord Naito escorted the old master's coffin back to Kofu to recruit troops, and took away two hundred and forty people.
At present, apart from 300 archers, 300 red cavalry, and 200 musketeers, there are actually only 800 young and strong ashigaru left who can fight.
After a feast of more than a thousand auxiliary soldiers, they also followed Lord Naito to escort the coffin back to Kai territory in accordance with the Lord's order."
Sanada Yukimura frowned and calculated before giving an accurate figure.
All added up, there were only 1,600 soldiers capable of fighting, facing the 12,000 Tokugawa Allied Forces.
In terms of military strength, there was almost a tenfold gap, which made everyone look grim.
How should we fight this battle?
The old ministers and generals of the Takeda family all looked at Liu Shiba.
"My lord, it seems you are preparing to retreat! Are you preparing to annihilate all the invading enemies?"
Sanada Masayuki was worthy of being a good observer of words and expressions. He stood up and asked, clasping his fists.
"That's right!"
Sanada Masayuki frowned, thoughtfully...
All the old retainers and generals of the Takeda family couldn't help but be dumbfounded and looked at each other, but they didn't know what to say to refute this arrogant new governor...
He——plans to lead the Takeda family directly into the abyss of destruction?
