Yamamoto Kansuke swallowed, regretting his impulse. But now it's hard to get off the tiger, she said dryly.
"Uesugi Teruhora is at a disadvantage and is entrenched on Wife and Daughter Mountain. Our army should take the initiative to attack.
It can be divided into two parts.
A team took advantage of the darkness to sneak back to the Wife and Nv Mountain, and took advantage of the rising sun to make a surprise attack up the mountain.
The Uesugi Army is wary of our direction from Kaijin Castle, so we will definitely be caught off guard behind us. Confused, he must go down the mountain and cross the river, and set up an array on the plain of Kawanaka Island.
The other team was waiting at Hachimanhara on the other side, and launched a second surprise attack on the Uesugi Army, which had just crossed the river and had an unstable foothold.
After encountering two surprise attacks, no matter how brave the Echigo samurai were, it would be difficult to organize an effective counterattack, and they would be defeated under attacks from both front and rear. "
Yamamoto Kansuke was a little quiet at first, but then he didn't know if he was infected by his own strategy. His voice got louder and louder, and he became more and more excited.
Finally, she said plausibly.
"The two surprise attack teams are like woodpeckers begging for food, pecking at wood to drive them away, and at the same time catching insects and pecking at them. This is my woodpecker tactics!"
Before she finished speaking, Takeda Nobushige couldn't bear it anymore and cursed.
"Nonsense!"
Yamamoto Kansuke was stunned for a moment, kowtowed to the ground and stopped talking.
Takeda Harunobu wanted to speak for her, but couldn't find a suitable excuse, so he could only rub his eyebrows.
No wonder Takeda Nobuhige was humiliated in person, Yamamoto Kansuke's idea was too naive.
When two armies confront each other, the most taboo thing is to divide their forces. The Uesugi Army had 12,000 men and the Takeda Army had 20,000 men. Once the Takeda Army was divided, it lost its numerical advantage.
Even if the troops are divided, it cannot be a tactic of adding fuel to the enemy team by team. It is just adding food to others.
It is said to be a surprise attack, but are there not many cases where the surprise attack fails and turns into a strong attack? Who can guarantee success?
The Takeda family’s old capital is all here, so you can use it to risk a surprise attack? Be sick!
The Echigo samurai were not weak, so how could Yamamoto Kansuke be so sure that he would be able to scare them off the mountain?
If it fails, the first surprise attack team will turn into a strong attack, which will be a brutal and bloody battle from the top of the mountain! It's still the kind with insufficient troops!
If Takeda Harunobu was sure of defeating Terutora Uesugi one-on-one, why would he need to gather a much larger army than his opponent?
I'm just afraid that if the number of people is equal, I won't be able to defeat them!
Therefore, it is impossible for Takeda Harunobu to adopt Yamamoto Kansuke's woodpecker tactics and use the elite of Takeda Army to take risks and storm the mountain.
Takeda Nobushige cursed a few times, looked back and saw his sister looking bad, so he kept silent.
There are many people in the Takeda retainers group who have outstanding abilities, but few people spoke during this military meeting. It was because the matter was so important that they did not dare to speak casually.
Twenty thousand soldiers, what is this concept?
There are more than 4,000 Ji warriors alone. How many warriors are there in the total number of warriors from the two countries?
If 30% of them were killed in battle here, at least twenty or thirty famous families with a long history would be wiped out, and every family would have orphaned daughters and widowed fathers.
In this case, who dares to talk nonsense?
Only Kansuke Yamamoto, who was good at building forts, was the most courageous and dared to talk nonsense.
Many Ji warriors have already cast sympathetic eyes on her. After this fight, Takeda Nobushige will definitely put her in the shoes, and her life will not be easy.
Yamamoto Kansuke was punished by Takeda Nobushige, but he could not hear Takeda Harunobu's dissuasion. Knowing that something was wrong, he lowered his head and dared not speak.
His head, which was burning with the desire to make great achievements, gradually calmed down because of the scoldings, only then did he realize that he had made a bad move.
At this time, I had no choice but to endure it silently, not daring to speak out loud anymore.
Takeda Nobushige saw that his sister was silent and couldn't figure out what she was thinking. I glanced at Kansuke Yamamoto, thinking that I would settle the score with you after the war, and fell silent.
Takeda Harunobu was very disappointed with Yamamoto Kansuke. If her strategy was more reliable, he could use it to encourage his retainers to fight.
This battle was so important that Takeda Harunobu did not dare to fight casually. He had to win the full support of the retainers.
Without united efforts, she would not dare to confront Terutora Uesugi head-on. She really could not afford to lose.
But Yamamoto Kansuke failed to live up to his expectations, and an inexplicable woodpecker strategy left the retainers speechless and made Takeda Nobushige furious.
Seeing that the military meeting was about to move away from the conservative defense strategy, Takeda Harunobu finally couldn't help it.
Without being in her position, it would be difficult for others to understand her pressure. She drained all the troops from the Takeda family's territory, which was an extremely dangerous move.
The Imagawa family and the Hojo family are allies, but is it rare for the Samurai family to have their allies break their treaty?
Will the Imagawa family take the opportunity to go north to annex Kai Country and use the land outside to ease their internal conflicts?
Will the Hojo family really send troops to Nishi Ueno as promised to attract the attention of Nagano Yamasa for the Takeda family?
Takeda Harunobu never believed in anyone, she only believed in herself, and at most she still had some trust in Takeda Nobushige.
Now, she was in Kaijin Castle with all the capital of the Takeda family, and was cut off from logistics by Uesugi Teruhu, completely unaware of the situation at the rear.
This weightless feeling of losing control of everything made her extremely anxious.
She doesn't know what the situation will be like facing the Imagawa family's Kai territory? I wonder if Toshin, who is close to Nishi Ueno, is safe?
Yamamoto Kansuke's tactics were a mess, but there was one sentence that deeply touched Takeda Harunobu, and he should take the initiative.
After a long silence, Takeda Harunobu said.
"What Yamamoto Hime said makes sense."
As soon as these words came out, the sitting princess warriors all looked at the family governor, and the second-in-command Takeda Nobushige stared at his sister with wide eyes.
Is this a bad idea reasonable?
The most surprised person was Kansuke Yamamoto, who was kneeling on the ground. She couldn't help but raise her head. She saw Takeda Harunobu gently nodding to her, her eyes instantly became wet, and she fell to the ground again.
A man will die for a man who knows him well, and a man will look good for a man who pleases him. No matter what purpose Harunobu Takeda had to defend himself, it really made Kansuke Yamamoto burst into tears.
Takeda Harunobu said slowly.
“The strategy is good, but there are some flaws.
The Uesugi army was timid and fearful, so they stayed in the Wife and Daughter Mountain and refused to leave. Even if our troops go around the back of the mountain to frighten them, they may not be willing to go down the mountain.
Why not, try another way.
From Takasaka Masanobu and Baba Nobuharu, they led 12,000 men and horses out of the city, secretly approached Tsumame Mountain under the cover of night, and ambush themselves in the forest on the side of the mountain.
The remaining eight thousand people followed me across the river to Hachimanhara to attack Uesugi Teruhora's logistics depot.
When Teruhora Uesugi saw me dividing my troops and leaving the city, he must have thought he had caught my weakness, so the army went down the mountain and crossed the river to fight me fiercely.
The ambush soldiers took advantage of her unpreparedness and followed her across the river, forming a pincer attack from both front and rear. They defeated her in one battle! "
Takeda Harunobu said that he would help Yamamoto Kansuke change it, but in fact he just used her as an excuse to change it to his own tactics.
She hopes to fight, but the stakes in this battle are very important. If there is no convincing reason, the Takeda retainers will hesitate to move forward.
This daimyo has always been cautious about making moves and does not want others to see through her impetuous thoughts. She needs a tool to help her take this step.
Taking advantage of Kansuke Yamamoto's advice, she changed the situation and came up with her own tactics.
