Chapter 68: The enemy will not move, I will go home and sleep.
In the previous battle with Shibata Katsuya, Gao Xianda annihilated the vital power of the Oda family 2ooo people with few defeats and many places. Tian'ai's "Novel WW" w.
'2 And he then led his men to capture the main city of the Oda family, Kiyosu Castle without any damage.
These behaviors show his strong leadership, combat ability and strategy.
The 3oo cavalry, who still have combat effectiveness under his command, have an almost fanatical admiration for him. I heard that they wanted to fight with Gao Xianda again, and they were all full of passion. Even if the enemy was several times more than their own team, they were not afraid.
They were originally cavalrymen, and their movement was very fast. With the effect of Gaoxianda, their degree was comparable to that of modern motorized troops. Moreover, they had already wandered around the territory of Weizhang, and it was only two days in total, so they would naturally not get lost. They soon arrived at the city of Minghai City.
Sure enough, a team was besieging the city, looking at the flags on it, with the seals of the Oda family printed on it.
Gao Xianda roughly counted and found that he could still retain troops of about 2,000 people, and his army was neat and did not look like the momentum he could maintain after being attacked continuously.
The Oda family is indeed capable!
But what is strange is that although this army was stationed at Minghai City, the entire army did not attack. Instead, it surrounded it, and only sent small groups of troops to attack harassingly. After shooting down the city, these small groups of troops retreated, focusing on not causing personnel losses.
At that time, only one hundred defending troops were left behind in Naruto. If the Oda army had attacked with all its might, it would have probably captured Naruto. However, hundreds of people would inevitably be lost.
However, the number of bows and arrows in Minghai City is limited. If they wait until they run out of bows and arrows and then attack the city, the losses can be minimized.
And what is strange is that the Oda Army's camping direction was not towards Naruto City, but was facing away from Naruto City, as if Naruto City was not their main enemy, but someone would attack them from behind.
"Attack the support." These four words appeared in Gao Xianda's head.
However, the Oda army obviously did not have the ability to surround the site and attack aid. First, their troops were not enough to wrap up all Naruto City. Second, their main city has been lost, and the passage for grain transportation has been cut off. Their food and grass cannot support the siege battle at all. Even the food and grass in Naruto City are much more abundant than the Oda family. At least there are fewer people and less food consumption.
"There must be ghosts here." Gao Xianda thought to himself, "I don't believe that Oda Nobunaga could think that after I took down the city of Qingzhou, I would have to come and attack them. The ones he was wary of must be others!"
So Gao Xianda directly led the cavalry team to retreat to the Shanzhao Temple Fort near Minghai City to rest.
After the three forts of the Oda Army were captured by Gao Xianda, they all had defenders, so Gao Xianda was not afraid at all. Moreover, the forts were quite rich, so these cavalrymen had no worries about food and drink, which was better than the Oda Army who was sleeping outside.
"Sneaking, sneak attack, only sneak attacks can be considered an attack! Since you think I might attack you and be on guard against me, I won't go!" Gao Xianda thought, "If you attack Minghai City with this degree and plan to capture it, then you are capable. Minghai City is what I gave you!"
Gao Xianda didn't believe that all the 20,000 troops of the Imakawa family were killed by Oda Nobunaga! He could allow him to attack Naruhira Castle so leisurely.
Since Shanzhao Temple Village is called Shanzhao Temple Village, it is naturally built next to Shanzhao Temple. Most Japanese temples are built on mountains, such as Ishiyama Honan Temple and Hieishan Yanri Temple. Although Shanzhao Temple is not that famous, it is also built on a small hill. The reason why the village is built here is because the terrain here is relatively high, and you can see the panoramic view of Naruto City downward. The distance between the line section is only two miles. It is completely a defensive fortification built for Naruto City that can attack and retreat and defend.
This time, the village built by the Oda family was finally used to deal with itself.
Gao Xianda ordered the soldiers to have a good meal, have a good rest, don't drink, feed the horses, polish the swords and guns, and prepare for the war. He also kept the sentries to climb to a high place to monitor the movements of the Oda army at any time.
If the Oda Army had any abnormal actions, including the general attack on Minghai City, they would report it to him.
Sure enough, at night, a sentry hurriedly called Gao Xianda.
"Sir, fight!" said the sentry.
"Is that true?" Gao Xianda hurriedly got up and jumped onto the wall. Sure enough, he saw the flames from the Oda family's army soaring into the sky.
With the light of fire, Gao Xianda could see that it was not the soldiers in Naruto City who were fighting against the Oda army. Their numbers were too small, so of course they did not dare to attack. Instead, there was a team of soldiers under the banner of the Imakawa family on the periphery.
"I just said that the soldiers of our Imakawa family cannot die!" Gao Xianda laughed, "No matter who it is, I admire him as a warrior when he dares to fight the Oda family head-on. After I go back, I will reward him well."
Then Gao Xianda sent an order to get all the cavalry up, put on their armor, and prepare for battle.
Next, Gao Xianda led the cavalry out from Shanzhao Temple Village and rushed out to the bottom of the mountain.
"Our target is the flank of the Oda family." Gao Xianda told the soldiers, "attack their weak sides and disrupt their formation. Our numbers are not superior, but we can help our friendly forces change the situation."
"Yes!" The knights naturally obeyed Gao Xianda's words.
Gao Xianda's unity effect is indeed powerful. The distance between the two-mile line segment is actually not short if the bend mountain road is actually included, but Gao Xianda and the others still arrive in just a few minutes.
"What we want is Oda Nobunaga's head!" Gao Xianda shouted, pulled out his mace, and rushed into the Oda army first.
There are indeed capable people in the Oda army, and they actually thought about the possibility of attack on the flanks.
Someone actually set up many tripping and horse-rejecting horses here.
The so-called refusal of horses is a roadblock that sharpens the wood and ties it together. If the horse hits it straight, it will inevitably kill itself. If the horse stops, there will be no cavalry and no advantage when facing infantry.
And behind the refusal, there was a small team of infantry teams holding spears to defend. Behind them, there was actually a musket team!
The Oda family's fortifications can actually achieve such high-end.
It was already dark, and Gao Xianda and the others naturally couldn't see such a complex facility in the distance. When Gao Xianda saw the refusal of horses, it was too late.
He quickly pulled the horse and slowed down the cavalry behind him.
Chapter completed!
