Chapter 252 26. Kiso Ten-Stage Guerrilla Soldier

Let’s now review Kiso Yoshiyasu’s mental journey.

"Yoshiharu Yamauchi, the dog-killing genius, actually wants to fuck me. I must give him a show of strength!"

"It's actually a brat named Yoshikatsu Yamauchi who came to beat me? This brat was still a liquid when I debuted in the country. Let me teach him what the rules are."

"Oh my God! Do you need more than 6,000 people to beat me as a novice? You think so highly of me. The wind is so tight! Fortunately, I have Fortified Fukushima."

"Hahahaha! The army is trapped in the city. It will take you five days to attack Tamataki Castle, and another five days to Kaminomiya Castle. You should fight on this blessed island for at least half a month. It's snowing heavily. I'll see how you fight. !”

"Hammer! Where did that thief who jumped in the air below the city come from? My Tamaki City will be over in half a day? Do you want to send someone out to talk?"

"The ball is over! The ball is over! The upper hall is over too. Are all the Tigers in the Yamauchi Army? Yesterday one jumped big, and today another one shoots. I can't take care of myself."

Of course, Kiso Yoshiyasu was not one to sit back and wait for death. He summoned his retainers to brainstorm and make a last-ditch effort.

Among those present here are Senmura Yoshige, Yamamura Yoshihou, Zhikawa Shigeu, Kyuri Shigenari and others. There are also many talented people. Most of them are also experienced in the military. Previously, the Shinano people united under the command of the previous Shinano guardian Ogasawara Nagaki, but they fought all the way to Nirasaki Castle in Kai. It can be said that if the Shinano people were of one mind, they would have beaten Takeda Nobutora and Takeda Harunobu to the point where they would cry for their father and mother and fight to the death.

Nowadays, although it is an internal struggle in Shinano, it may not be able to exert such great fighting power, but the novice chickens are also divided into young chickens and old roosters.

There is no doubt that Yoshikatsu Yamauchi, who is in his twenties, is considered a weakling in the eyes of these veterans. Although he is not a fledgling, he is not such a bright star either. Most of them feel that today's Yoshikatsu Yamauchi has always been following in the footsteps of his uncle Terutora Uesugi and his father Yoshiharu Yamauchi.

But who knew that a good father could do whatever he wanted? Not only did he have many troops to fight with his son, but the warriors who came over were also somewhat capable. In just two days, two branch cities were defeated, and the Kiso army was unable to find its way.

"Your Highness, now that Yamauchi Shinano has achieved great success at a young age and has won two games in a row, the arrogance will be arrogant. This is a great opportunity for us to defeat the enemy!" veteran Zhikawa Shigeyou said.

"The Yamauchi Army came from afar. There is a drought in Shinano this year. Whether it is military rations or the weather, the Yamauchi Army must end the war within a month. Therefore, Prime Minister Yamauchi gave all the best troops to Yamauchi Shinano in order to achieve a quick victory." (Shit, the Yamauchi family doesn’t have many elite soldiers at all.)

Everyone in the Kiso family present nodded their heads after hearing this. As expected, Zhichuan was mature and steady, with sharp eyesight and could see clearly.

"The Yamauchi army must regard us as a country chicken and a dog, thinking that we can be defeated with one blow. But in the past two days, our army has been defeated, losing the city and losing ground. This is when the Yamauchi army is in high spirits and its defenses are lax."

"And our army can only fight in the thousands, and they are all in the city now. We should give full play to our army's familiarity with geography and its advantages of being good at traveling through mountains and forests. We must launch a surprise attack tonight, maybe one battle can decide the outcome!"

"Surprise attack? But our army is small and the enemy's army is large. Even if the entire army leaves the city, it will be difficult to win completely. Instead, we took advantage of Yamauchi Shinano's will. If we lose the battle in the wild, then this Fukushima will definitely be in danger." Kiso Yichang was not a brainless warrior. He looked at his father and asked with some doubts.

"The advantage of our army is that our soldiers are familiar with the geography of mountains and rivers. Every plant and tree is the soil of their hometown. In the dark night, they go in left and right out, right in and left out, forward and then out, behind and forward. Attack back and forth, and retreat at the first touch. , only use bows and iron cannons to attack, without fighting, it will be a good opportunity to annihilate them."

"But what can this do to the Yamauchi Army? After all, the Yamauchi Army has a large number of people and may cause some harassment, but it is nothing more than Maru mustard moss. What's the use of it?" Kiso Yoshiyasu finally asked.

"Your Highness, wait a moment. When it gets dark, select a group of twenty or thirty men each, and select loyal and brave men to lead them (to prevent them from leading the troops to surrender to the enemy directly out of the city). Order them to continuously harass the army in the mountain all night long. There is no need to be reluctant to fight. Wait until dawn. The city is in full swing."

"His Royal Highness, the young master, led the banner, Ma Yi, and two hundred men, one of the most capable and sincere men. At the moment before dawn, when the army in the mountain was exhausted and in dire straits, he launched his attack in one fell swoop."

"Our army has been harassing us all night. The Shanuchi army will definitely not take it seriously when they meet the young master. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the young master's elite soldiers rush in. The battle is a complete success!" Zhichuan Zhongyou lowered his head and said seriously.

This theory, which is fictitious but real, and real is fictitious, suddenly raised Zukawa Shigeu's status in the hearts of everyone in the Kiso family to a height that is difficult to reach.

Everyone was deeply impressed by the military strategy of this veteran general. It turned out that the Three Stooges were better than Zhuge Liang. A cobbler like him can rival half of Zhuge Liang, but it is a pity that such a warrior is buried in the mountains and fields of Shinano.

"Okay, our army will do this!" Kiso Yoshiyasu also realized that this was the most suitable strategy for the Kiso family to turn defeat into victory at the moment. The Yamauchi army's combat effectiveness in the past two days was too amazing, and he did not dare to guarantee his Fukushima Castle. I was able to hold on until the heavy snow fell in Shinano.

It is said that in a town with ten houses, there must be loyalty. Although the Kiso family looks like it is in turmoil now, there are many loyal warriors at all.

Kiso Yoshiyasu called, and more than ten samurai were summoned to the palace. Kiso Yoshiyasu gave them a lecture, asking them to lead the soldiers they were familiar with, and after dark, each person would light five torches, and bring more bows and cannons. Disguised as a surprise attack team of more than a hundred people, they launched continuous attacks on the Yamanouchi army.

There were not many elite soldiers in the city, and they had to dig out the two hundred most elite ones to give Kiso Yoshimasa the final blow. So they had to be familiar with the road, still loyal to the Kiso family at this moment, and have some combat effectiveness, which made it difficult for the dozen samurai.

Finally, after careful selection, nine teams of harassing soldiers were selected. Kiso Yoshimasa was generous at this moment, and one kan of departure fee per person was the money to buy your life to go out of the city to attack.

Then a large basket of rice balls was brought up steaming hot, full, eat as much as you want, and three or two per person were wrapped in bamboo leaves for midnight snacks. The soldiers burst into tears. Many of them had eaten such a filling meal of white rice for the first time in their lives.

So when it got dark, the best soldiers of the entire Kiso clan, including Kiso Yoshimasa's assault team, a total of ten teams, opened the sewer gate of the mountain castle and jumped down the mountain along the steep mountain road that they were used to.

The outcome was still unknown!
