A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

It’s time for a military meeting again. What is a military meeting? In the Yamauchi family, a well-established family that still has some shadow of the collegial system of ministers, Yoshiharu Yamauchi presided over the meeting, and then a bunch of big bosses started spitting at each other again.

As for why there is still a military discussion? The plan set yesterday is not over yet. Very realistically, Yamamoto Kannosuke in Nirasaki Castle uprightly refused Yamauchi Yoshiharu's persuasion to surrender, saying that he had received the kindness of Takeda Daisen and died in return.

Fine!

how to spell?

It's a disgusting little mountain town where no one is willing to die.

The group with the lowest level began to boast about their superiority, flexed their muscles, and threatened to attack the city with human flesh. They also had a very powerful nickname, called "Ant Fu"! Also known as brainless city siege, it is the most rubbish, most common, common and least technical siege strategy in the world.

The wise advice of these big bosses whose brains grew into their arm muscles was simply ignored. Their heads were squeezed by the door, but Yamauchi Yoshiji's brain was not squeezed by the door. Five hundred people had just been killed and 1,200 wounded in the battle. The Yamauchi army could not afford to die any more. It really couldn't afford to die.

The remaining siege methods are Toyotomi Hideyoshi's two famous methods, killing Miki with thirst and killing Tottori with hunger.

The literal meaning, as everyone knows, is to cut off the water source in the city. A few years ago, Koheita proposed a strategy to seize Futamata Castle, which was a siege method that cut off drinking water. People will die if they don't have water for three days, so it is very effective.

Moreover, this method is very suitable for this region of Japan and the Warring States Period, because cities are often not large and are not built against mountains and rivers. But like the Nirasaki in front of me, most of the cities are small mountain towns like this. Their means of obtaining water are too limited to mention.

If he was killed by starvation, people at that time gave him another name, called the strategy of attacking soldiers and food. But this method is difficult to say. If the city is strong and there are few soldiers, sufficient food supplies, and high morale, the siege may not be able to be encircled for a year. But how can the army outside the city support it for a year, and it is even less likely that the Yamauchi army will be able to support it now (in spring, there is not so much food to eat. Originally, there was even some intention to go to Takeda Territory to grab a wave during the war in this season.). This method is not a good method suitable for the current situation, so skip it.

Another one is the earth dragon attack, also called the cave attack. This method is used by Takeda Harunobu very smoothly. He has a Kafi Gold Digger in his hand, which specializes in digging underground tunnels. He can break into the enemy's city unexpectedly and hundreds of times. Have a try.

In short, the siege methods in this era were few and crude, and were subject to various factors. It's a big scene with two rackets, and it's rare to see.

Is Xiaopingtai such a noob? Of course not, Xiao Pingtai is a progressive young man with ideas, five principles, four virtues and three loves. There is no way to do anything, and I can't think of anything. This is not Xiaopingtai's style. Even if there is nothing you can do, you may be able to make new discoveries by sorting out your thoughts.

Therefore, Koheita did not continue to listen to the heated battle between the big guys in the camp, but quietly left the tent and quickly went to the Fuefuki River under Nirasaki Castle to observe.

After Koheita thought of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's thirsty murder of Miki, an idea came to his mind. It is absolutely impossible to attack the city with human flesh. Cutting off the drinking water in Nirasaki Castle is the fastest way to break the city.

When we arrived at the bank of the Fuefuki River, we rode along the river for a while. The terrain is exactly what Koheita expected. The Fuefuki River, which originates from the Koshin Mountains, is affected by the mountains in the Nirasaki Castle area. It turns south and meets the Kamamaki River in the Kai Basin, forming a small and medium-sized fertile basin. plain.

Nirasaki Castle is surrounded by mountains and water, and the water potential is obviously blocked by Mount Nirasaki, so the water source for the wells in Nirasaki Castle must come from the flow of the Fuefuki River.

The city is above and the water is below.

There must be water veins in the twists and turns under the city, otherwise how could a well be dug from the castle on the hillside. And judging from the topography, this water vein is definitely not deep. The slope of Mount Nirasaki is only tens of meters high. With the current level of well digging, these tens of meters are already the limit.

Xiaopingtai thought about it for a while, and after figuring out all the joints, he couldn't help but feel reassured, and returned to the shogunate safely with joy in his body.

In the spacious shogunate tent, the important ministers and warriors of the Yamauchi family were still arguing, and it seemed that no one had reached a conclusion yet. Koheita looked at them as if they could fight for another three hundred rounds, because Oishi Saburo's sleeves were rolled up, and he looked like he was about to fight with someone.

Hokahata University, on the other hand, sat on the horse and avoided his head, clenching and unclenching his fists, clenching and unclenching his fists, and not even looking at the big boss of the argument. The soil under his feet was ground into a deep mark, and it was tending to get deeper.

As for Yamauchi Yoshiharu, who was sitting in the chair, and Chief Accountant Yamauchi, who was the first person under him, put their hands on their foreheads, looking like they had a splitting headache, and their heads were noisy from this group of people. The chief accountant in Yamauchi was so angry that he even threw away the paper and pen for recording. It's just what you like, I don't want to serve you anymore.

And Yamauchi Yoshikatsu seemed to have just finished arguing with someone and was still fuming. His face was still flushed due to the excited argument. He took a bowl of water from the attendant and drank it down. Still unable to quench his thirst, he took another bowl from the attendant.

After he finished drinking, he threw down the bowl and walked around in circles in the tent without any clue. The fierce arguments continued all the time. However, it is useless to keep arguing like this, and it will not benefit the war situation at all.

At this time, Yamauchi Yoshiharu saw Kodaira opening the curtain leisurely from the outside and walking in. He seemed to be grasping a life-saving straw, "Koheta, did you just go out?"

Xiaopingta was planning to enter the tent and quietly find a corner, preferably among the 20 or 30 people in the Hatamoto clan, and continue to hang out with others. Unexpectedly, he just came in and was discovered without his butt even sticking to the seat. He could only rub his head in embarrassment and smile, "I just went out to see the Fuefuki River."

"Fuefuki River?" Yamauchi Yoshiji hummed, as if he thought of something.

Yamauchi Yoshikatsu saw his father suddenly change his look of thinking, and he also keenly felt the special meaning of the three words "Fuefuki River". He groped the slight beard on his chin, found Zhang Maza and sat down to think. stand up.

Seeing that Xiaoping Tai successfully brought the topic to the source of the river, the generals who were still arguing fiercely in the camp also became quiet, so he walked to his seat in a fairy-like manner.

"Why don't you think of a way to cut off the water veins in Nirasaki Castle? That way, it only takes three to five days at most, and Nirasaki can surrender without a fight. The gate to Kai's country will be open."

"Yes or no?" Xiao Pingtai seemed to be an expert outside the world.

I think the only way to make the big brothers love me once is to update five times next Tuesday, so I’ll set a goal. The top seven hundred on the recommendation list will be five updates.
