Chapter 566 Woodpecker Tactics

Kansuke Yamamoto swallowed, regretting his impulsiveness.But at this time, it is hard to get off the tiger, she said dryly.

"Terutora Uesugi is at a disadvantage, entrenched on the wife and daughter mountain, our army should take the initiative to attack.

The power can be divided into two.

A team took advantage of the night to go back to the Wife and Daughter Mountain, and took advantage of the rising sun to make a surprise attack up the mountain.

Uesugi's army is wary of our direction in Haijin City, and they must be caught off guard behind them.Confused, he must go down the mountain and cross the river, and set up an army on the Chuanzhong Island Plain.

The other team waited at Hachimangahara on the opposite bank, and launched a second surprise attack on the Uesugi army who had just crossed the river and had not gained a firm 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 by both front and rear attacks. "

Kansuke Yamamoto was a little quiet at the beginning, but then he didn't know if he was infected by his own strategy, and his voice became louder and more excited.

Finally, she spoke plausibly.

"The two raiding 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 strategy!"

Before she finished speaking, Nobushige Takeda couldn't bear it anymore and cursed.

"Bullshit!"

Kansuke Yamamoto froze 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 brows.

No wonder Takeda Nobushige humiliated him face to face, Kansuke Yamamoto's idea was too naive.

When the two armies confront each other, the most taboo thing is to divide the troops.The Uesugi Army had [-] soldiers, and the Takeda Army had [-] soldiers. Once the Takeda Army divided its forces, it would lose its superiority in numbers.

Even if the troops are divided, it can't be a tactic of adding fuel to the team, it's adding food to others.

It is said to be a surprise attack, but is it rare for a surprise attack to fail and turn into a strong attack?Who can guarantee success?
The old books of the Takeda family are all here, let you use them for an adventurous surprise attack?Be sick!
The Echigo Samurai are not weak, how can Yamamoto Kansuke be sure that they will be able to shock them down the mountain?

If it fails, the first surprise attack team will become a strong attack, and that will be a bloody battle against the top of the mountain!Still underpowered!
If Takeda Harunobu is sure to defeat Uesugi Terutora one-on-one, why gather a far larger army than the opponent?

I'm just afraid that the number of people is equal, and I can't beat it!

Therefore, it is impossible for Takeda Harunobu to adopt Yamamoto Kansuke's woodpecker tactics and use the elite of the Takeda Army to risk and storm the mountain.

Nobushige Takeda scolded a few words, then looked back to see her sister's complexion, so she shut up.

There are quite a few of Takeda's vassals with outstanding abilities, but this time the military meeting rarely spoke, because the matter was so important that they didn't dare to speak casually.

Twenty thousand soldiers, what is this concept?
There are more than [-] warriors in Ji warriors alone. How many warriors are there in total in Jiaxin and Jiaxin?

If [-]% of them die in battle here, at least twenty or thirty famous families with a long history will be extinct, and every family will inevitably have orphans and widows.

Under such circumstances, who dares to talk nonsense?
Only Kansuke Yamamoto, who is good at building castles, is the most courageous and dares to speak nonsense.

Many Ji warriors have already cast their sympathetic eyes on her. After this battle, Nobushige Takeda will definitely wear small shoes, and life will not be better.

Yamamoto Kansuke was punished by Takeda Nobushige, but he couldn't hear Takeda Harunobu's dissuasion.Knowing that something was wrong, he bowed his head and dared not speak.

The feverish head that wanted to make contributions gradually calmed down because of a sentence of scolding, only then did he realize that he had made a bad move.

At this time, he had no choice but to bear it silently, not daring to speak out any more wild words.

Nobushige Takeda saw that his sister was silent, so he couldn't figure out what she was thinking.He glanced at Kansuke Yamamoto, thinking that he would settle accounts with you after the war, and fell silent.

Harunobu Takeda was very disappointed with Kansuke Yamamoto, but if her strategy was more reliable, she could use it to her advantage and encourage the retainers to fight.

This battle was so important that Takeda Harunobu didn't dare to fight casually, and he had to win the full support of the retainers.

Without united efforts, she would not dare to confront Uesugi Terutora head-on, she really couldn't afford to lose.

But Kansuke Yamamoto didn't live up to it, and an inexplicable woodpecker tactic left the retainers speechless and made Nobushige Takeda furious.

Seeing that the military council was about to shift to the conservative strategy of defending the city, Takeda Harunobu couldn't bear it anymore.

Without her position, it would be difficult for others to understand her pressure.She evacuated all troops from the territory of the Takeda family, which is an extremely dangerous action.

The Imagawa family and the Hojo family are allies, but is it rare for the samurai family to break the contract?

Will the Imagawa family take the opportunity to go north and annex the Kai country, and use the land outside to ease their internal conflicts?
Will the Hojo family really send troops to Nishi Ueno as promised, and attract the attention of Nagano Yezheng for the Takeda family?
Takeda Harunobu never trusted anyone, she only believed in herself, at most she had some trust in Takeda Nobushige.

Now, she is in Haijin City with all the capital of the Takeda family, and the logistics are cut off by Uesugi Terotora, and she has no idea of ​​the situation behind.

This sense of weightlessness of losing control over everything made her extremely anxious.

She didn't know what was going on with the Imagawa family's Kai territory?I don't know if Dongshin, which is close to Nishi Ueno, is safe?
Kansuke Yamamoto's tactics were messed up, but there was one sentence that deeply touched Harunobu Takeda, and he should take the initiative to attack.

After a long silence, Takeda Harunobu said.

"Hime Yamamoto is right."

As soon as this remark came out, all the warriors sitting there looked at the governor, and Nobushige Takeda, who was in the second seat, even stared at his sister with wide eyes.

Is this bad idea justified?

The person who was most surprised was Kansuke Yamamoto, who knelt on the ground, and she couldn't help raising her head.Harunobu Takeda nodded gently to her, his eyes were moist in an instant, and he fell down again.

A scholar dies for a confidant, and a man tolerates a man who pleases him.No matter what purpose Takeda Harunobu had for defending himself, Kansuke Yamamoto was really grateful.

Takeda Harunobu said slowly.

"The strategy is good, but there are some flaws.

Uesugi's army was timid and afraid of getting into trouble, and entrenched his wife and daughter mountain and refused to leave.Even if our army went around the mountain and frightened them, they might not be willing to go down the mountain.

Instead, change the way.

Masanobu Takasaka and Nobuharu Baba led [-] troops out of the city, sneaked up to the Wife and Women Mountain by night, and hid in the woodland on the side of the mountain.

The remaining [-] people followed me across the river to Hachimangahara to attack Uesugi Terutora's logistics depot.

When Uesugi Teruhu saw that I was leaving the city separately, he must have thought that he had caught my opening, and the army went down the mountain and crossed the river to fight fiercely with me.

Taking advantage of her unpreparedness, the ambush soldiers followed closely behind and crossed the river, attacking from front to back, and broke it in one battle! "

Takeda Harunobu said to help Yamamoto Kansuke to change, but in fact, he just used her as an excuse to change his own thinking tactics.

She wanted to fight, but the stakes were so high that, without a convincing reason, Takeda's retainers would hesitate.

This daimyo has always planned before acting, and she doesn't want to be seen through her impatience.She needs a tool person to help her take this step.

Taking advantage of Yamamoto's help and advice, she changed positions and proposed her own tactics.
