On December 20, the morning after the Yuqiu family arrived, in the Okazaki Castle Castle, Yuqiu and the Tokugawa family’s important ministers gathered together to hold an evaluation meeting. At the meeting, Yuqiu Ping said to
His amazing plan was announced.
"According to His Highness Tokugawa's plan, we will advance along the North Road to set up camp outside the north gate of Hamamatsu Castle, echoing Hamamatsu Castle from a distance, and attack the Takeda Army from both sides." Yu Qiuping hung the map on the wall and used a
Focusing on the key positions, he said, "But since the opponent is Takeda Shingen, he will never sit back and watch us complete the strategic plan. Everyone must have heard of his strength in military strategy. He has rarely lost in decades.
, the Koshu Corps under him is one of the strongest in the world, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the number one strategist of the Warring States Period. We must consider this situation, that is, Takeda Shingen left part of the army to prevent His Highness Tokugawa from leaving the city for a pincer attack.
And personally lead the main force to meet us."
"The Takeda family has very powerful cavalry, including red cavalry, and the total number of cavalry is about 3,000." Yu Qiuping reported to everyone present based on the intelligence collected by Sanada Masayuki not long ago, "And the two of us
The total number of cavalry in our army is only 500. Our cavalry is completely unable to compete with the Takeda family, and it will naturally be difficult to cover the retreat of the troops. If the Takeda family's cavalry sticks to us on the plains near Hamamatsu Castle, we will not be able to defeat the main force of the Takeda army.
We retreated to Yoshida Castle before catching up with us. Except for Yoshida Castle and Hamamatsu Castle, there are no strongholds suitable for our defense along the Mikawa-Toe River line. If so, we may be forced to accept a battle with the Takeda family in the plain wilderness.
The main force's field battle is something we don't want to see, but it is what Takeda Shingen really hopes to see." Takenaka Shigeharu is not around, so Yu Qiupei has to take on the role of Takenaka Shigeharu and analyze the situation for everyone, "Because if we are allowed to
When a 12,000-strong army with 1,350 iron cannons enters the city, the Takeda Army can no longer do anything to us. After all, the cavalry cannot climb the city wall, so Takeda Shingen will definitely pursue to eliminate us in the plain field battle. Because in the plain wilderness, Takeda
Our cavalry mobility advantage and manpower advantage can be maximized, and we have almost no possibility of victory."
"What uncle said is true." Tokugawa Nobuyasu was convinced by Yu Qiuping's analysis last night. Hearing it again today, he is even more convinced.
"So, we must adopt a countermeasure, and we cannot give Takeda Shingen the chance to force us to a decisive battle in the plains and wilderness." Yu Qiuping tapped the map heavily with his pick and said in a deep voice: "And my plan is to go into the mountains.
!”
·
"As I said just now, if the Takeda Army wants to raid us and force us to fight on the plains, they will definitely lead us as close as possible to them and as far away from Yoshida Castle as possible before taking action." Yu Qiuping said with Caipei.
He traced the advance path along the northern line and analyzed at the same time, "If we have just advanced to 40 miles away from Yoshida Castle in three days, the Takeda Army under Hamamatsu Castle will send troops to us. Then our ninjas and Tanma
Once discovered, we can retreat immediately. The Takeda Army is still about 50 miles away from us at this time. Even if we are stuck by the Takeda family's cavalry, we can retreat to Yoshida Castle before the main force of the Takeda Army catches up with us, leaving the Takeda Army without success.
And return."
"So, the Takeda Army must put its prey, that is, us, closer before taking action. For example, Ii Valley, which is 20 miles ahead, or Mikatahara, which is 15 miles ahead of Ii Valley. According to the Staff
Based on the calculation of the marching speed of the two armies, as long as we reach Ii Valley or somewhere further ahead, there will be no way to return to Yoshida Castle before the main force of the Takeda Army catches up with us."
The senior warriors of the Yuqiu Army never had the slightest doubt about the calculation results of their own staff. However, the Tokugawa family did not understand. They frequently looked at Tokugawa Nobuyasu and Gao Liqingchang, but they were both ignored.
The person dismissed it with a very sure look.
"According to further calculations by the staff, if we learned that the Takeda Army was coming to attack us in Mikatahara, we would have had to fight with the Takeda family on the plains. Therefore, we must not advance to Mikatahara. At most, we can advance to
——" Yu Qiuping said, tapping Jingyigu's position hard with his pick, "Jingyigu."
"Because in Ii Valley, if we find the Takeda Army 30 miles away rushing towards us, we will have time to retreat to three days before the Takeda Army catches up with us, and then head north into the Ina Mountains." Yu Qiuping pointed out.
Referring to the location of Sanri, "Although it is not marked on this map, I was familiar with this place before. From Sanri, there is a mountain road that can enter the Ina Mountains. Although this mountain road is not narrow enough, it is enough for our troops to block
The Takeda Army cannot be outflanked by the cavalry and break through. Just fight and retreat all the way to——"
"Wait a minute, Your Highness!" Before Yu Qiuping could finish his words, Omaezaki Nakahide, the captain of Hosoragi Bei, suddenly raised his hand and interrupted, "But this mountain road is not wide, and our 12,000 people will not have time to retreat together! When the time comes,
If the Takeda family comes and kills us, a lot of us will be squeezed into the mountain intersection and we won’t be able to get through, won’t we be doomed!”
"You are right, so our auxiliary troops and a large amount of baggage will stop after marching for three days, so that the soldiers can move forward with necessary dry food and drinking water and armor. Three days after the arrival of the auxiliary troops,
We began to carry the baggage into the mountain road, and we also entered the mountain road first. If the Takeda army attacked us, the soldiers would retreat immediately. By the time the soldiers retreated to the mouth of the valley, all the auxiliary troops should have withdrawn into the mountain road, and the soldiers would follow in turn.
Just withdraw. If the Takeda Army does not attack immediately, leave 4,000 auxiliary troops to set up camp at the intersection of the mountain road as a granary to transport grain and grass to the Ii Valley on the front line. The remaining auxiliary troops will camp on the mountain road to rest."
"I understand Your Highness. I didn't expect that Your Highness would have such abilities even when Takenaka-sama is away." Even in the face of a formidable enemy, Gomaezaki Nakahide still looked carefree and did not forget to joke, "It's amazing."
"How is it possible? It was obviously Yu Nan who did it. I heard it yesterday when I went to report it." Nobuhiro Anesama, who was sitting aside, took over with a smile, "Let His Highness do it, it won't be finished in a few days."
"There are still outsiders here, can I save some face for your highness!" Yu Qiuping heard faint laughter from the samurai of his family, and the Tokugawa family also couldn't help but laugh - the Tokugawa family's meetings were always
They are all very serious, and anyone who dares to interrupt at will will be imprisoned, let alone make fun of the Lord.
"Reliance, you brat, you're still laughing!" Yu Qiuping saw that Aneshan Reliance was still laughing, and his nervousness could not help but ease a little, "You told me before you set off for the expedition that if you could make great contributions,
, let me help Husong Yuanfu! What’s the matter, do you still want to do it now?”
"Ah, no, no, no, no, your highness!" Nobuyuki Anesama panicked when he heard this, and immediately sat up in a very obedient posture.
"snort."
Upon seeing this, Yu Qiuping chuckled, clapped his hands, and continued: "Then let's continue."
"If the Takeda family doesn't fight, that's fine. We will respond to His Majesty Tokugawa and postpone it until spring plowing. If the Takeda family attacks us, we will retreat all the way for three days, and then go northward from the three days to enter the Ina Mountains."
"What happens after entering the Ina Mountains?" Omaezaki Nakahide asked again, "The Takeda Army is not stupid, how could they fight us in such a narrow terrain? He must be looking for a place suitable for cavalry charge! Otherwise, on the mountain road
Not all cavalry are targets for our iron gunners."
"Yes, Takeda Shingen will never start a war with us in the mountains, so I plan to sell a flaw, that is, to introduce Takeda Shingen into a battlefield that he can accept." Yu Qiupei nodded, and then clicked Mikawa on the map with his pick.
The location of Shitarahara in the territory, "that's Shitarahara. Going north from the mountain road we entered the mountain, the mountain road will gradually become wider, like a trumpet shape. After walking out of the mountain road, we will arrive at Shitarahara, here
It is a small plain with multiple streams and intertwined rivers, and a depression in the center. We will set up positions in the depression."
"Set up a position in a depression?" Fukushima Yasunari felt that something was wrong after hearing this, and he also expressed his opinion, "The Takeda family's cavalry is famous all over the world. If we let them charge towards the depression from a high position, wouldn't we be in danger?"
"If there is no arrangement, it is indeed the case. This is why I arranged for the Tokugawa Master to lead 3,000 people to Shitarahara to arrange the battlefield in advance." Yu Qiuping smiled slightly and began to describe Oda Nobunaga's previous life.
A battle that attracted worldwide attention and changed the direction of Japanese history - the layout of the Battle of Nagashino.
Although it is located in a depression, there is a dense network of water around the depression. Oda Nobunaga built a large number of anti-horse fences, horse barriers, trenches, and earth walls along the Toyokawa and Lianzi Rivers, and hid iron gunners in complex
After the fortifications. When the Takeda army launched a charge, it was difficult to break through this complex defense line. Instead, they were shot by 3,000 iron gunners of the Oda family, causing heavy losses.
However, even though the tenacious Takeda army was at a multiple disadvantage in strength, unfavorable terrain, and improper tactics, it still fought tenaciously with the Oroku coalition until the last moment, breaking through multiple anti-horse fences and continuously defeating many of the Oda family's forces.
Troops. If the leader of the Takeda family's Akabi unit, Yamagata Masakage, was accidentally killed by Honda Tadakatsu in the formation, the Takeda army would not have suddenly collapsed. This shows how fierce the Takeda army's combat effectiveness is.
Amakihei plans to "repeat his old tricks" this time, pirate Oda Nobunaga's previous life's idea of a Nagashino battle, and also give Takeda Shingen a Nagashino battle. However, the strength of the Takeda family's troops this time is larger than that of Nagashino in the previous life.
There were many battles, but the strength of the Oda family was smaller than in the previous life, and the commander of the Takeda army was Takeda Shingen, the number one military strategist of the Warring States period who was several times stronger than Takeda Katsuyori; even though the quality of the Uakiu army was much higher than that of the previous life.
Zhi De's coalition forces, Yu Qiuping still had no confidence in victory. He just wanted to use this to have a bloody battle with the Takeda family and force the Takeda family to give up their plan to annihilate him in the field.
"If that's the case... it's feasible." Fukushima Yasunari changed his mind after hearing Amakihei's arrangement, "It's just that Your Highness, if the Takeda family didn't pursue us when we retreated into the valley, but went straight to Yoshida Castle.
, or what should we do if we turn around and leave after we form Shitarahara and do not fight us decisively? We lack cavalry and do not have the means to force the Takeda family to fight us decisively."
