Chapter 460 Ueno Surprise Attack ([-]) Stable Bridge Military Discussion
The two deflations made Osafuna very angry. He only had 12000 people in his hands, and at the moment there were only 7000 people on the Stable Bridge.
Although the intelligence said that there were only 5000 people in Inomata Bangken's hands, it is impossible to guarantee that the number of powerful troops in Kit Ueno who gathered along the way is likely to be close to 1.
However, the most dangerous thing is not the possibility of defeat, but that he only has 7000 people in his hands at the moment. He won't know when Inomata Bangken will go south to the Stable Bridge. If he merges with the defenders in the city to attack him, he really has no parry power.
The two failed sieges made him very annoyed. The most important thing is to break through quickly, and now he doesn't even know what's going on in the city.
It's fine if there are iron cannons and gunpowder in the city, why does the Hojo clan still have kerosene in Stable Bridge City?
Book friends who are used to various fire attacks in the mainland may be familiar with kerosene, but kerosene is indeed a rare commodity in Japan, an area where oil is scarce.
With the current productivity, if one wants to obtain kerosene, the only possibility is the kind of oil that is lucky to be spewed to the ground with the movement of the earth's crust, or the fat squeezed out by animals, no matter which one it is, it is very rare in Japan.
You must know that before lighting was introduced to Japan, candles were a luxury, and they were also called kerosene for oil lamps.
Of course, Japan does not produce oil at all. After all, 99% of Japanese oil has been imported since later generations, and 1% is still domestically produced. This is also the main source of Japanese lamp oil and a specialty of Echigo.
Lamp oil is too expensive, not to mention that ordinary ashigaru has never seen it, and even ordinary samurai may not necessarily see it.
However, the high-ranking Osafune Sadakin, Okakari and others are familiar with them. When they found out that the Hojo Clan was attacking with kerosene, they were beyond surprised, "Why did the Hojo Clan store kerosene at the Stable Bridge?"
In fact, they didn't know that the kerosene was specially requested by Motome Motochu from the Hojo clan, because the Hojo clan had already made a national policy of stationing the main force in Odawara.
Therefore, Momota Tamu, who was in charge of the northern defense line, asked the Hojo clan for some gunpowder and kerosene to make up for the shortage of troops.
After the failure of the siege on both sides, Longchuan Zhenqin stopped the next offensive and summoned the generals for military discussions. At the same time, he was also reflecting on his own shortcomings.
Because he was in a hurry to attack the city, he didn't even investigate the situation inside the city. He thought that Stable Bridge City was the same as the city he encountered on the road before, but it was just a city that could be taken in one round of offensive.
When night fell, a samurai from outside the shogunate came to report that someone who claimed to be a ninja from his family came to deliver the news, and he immediately had that person led to the shogunate to inquire about the situation.
"I'm called Shusuke, a ninja under Iga Mori's command. He was ordered to investigate the situation in the Ueno area before, and he was arrested on the spot and entered the city to be in charge of logistics."
Hearing that it was someone from the city of Stable Bridge, Changchuan Zhenqin was overjoyed, and then asked, "Who is the guard in the city, and how many soldiers are there?"
Shusuke replied, "Now the guard in the castle is a man called Tame Shu defense. He may be the important official of the Hojo family, Tame Mototada. There were originally 1200 Ueno people stationed, and Tame Mototada brought another 500 to 600 people here. , plus the young men who were temporarily conscripted into the city, the number exceeds 2000."
After hearing that there were another 2000 people in the city, Changchuan Zhenqin sighed. He knew very well that Suqiaoheng would not be so easy to win.
He looked at Suga Masatoshi and Oka Toshikatsu aside, hoping to get some useful advice from them.As for Nobushige Sanada, he automatically ignored it.
Unexpectedly, Nobushige Sanada took the initiative to ask the ninja, "Do you know what's going on with the kerosene in the castle?"
"Is it kerosene?" The ninja was taken aback when he heard Nobushige Sanada's question, shook his head and said, "I don't know very well, when Motota Mumoto entered the city, he brought a lot of supplies, maybe he entered the city with him."
Masatoshi Suga on the side asked, "How long have they been in the city, and do you know where the supplies are stored?"
To Suga Masatoshi's question, Jiusuke responded confidently, "Even if I am a civilian in charge of transporting supplies, I still have some understanding of this.
Tamu Motochu brought a lot of supplies into the Stable Bridge. The warehouse of the Stable Bridge was too small to fit, so that some samurai houses were opened up as temporary warehouses to store supplies. "
"What's the main thing?"
Sake assistant: "Food, gunpowder, arrow feathers, etc. I am in charge of carrying food, and I don't know much about armaments."
Hearing that the wine assistant didn't know where the gunpowder and kerosene were, Osafuna Sadakami was a little disappointed, but Sanada Nobushige didn't feel dissatisfied at all, and continued to ask, "Then are you sure to find the location of these things?"
Jiuzhu replied: "The Hojo Army has strict control over our civilians, and it is difficult for the civilians in charge of which area to move supplies from which area, and it is difficult to have a chance to overstep.
When there is no battle, we will be guarded and we will not be allowed to walk around at will. I also took the opportunity to relieve myself and climbed down the city wall to inform you. "
Jiuzhu's answers disappointed Osafune Sadakin again and again. Although he knew the source of the fire oil in the city and the general situation of the city's defenses, it didn't help them pull out the city at all.
On the contrary, Nobushige Sanada was quick-witted, grasped the essence of Jiusuke's words, and continued to ask, "You mean that once a battle breaks out, you will be recruited to carry supplies, right?"
Jiusuke replied, "Before you entered the city yesterday, we were in charge of repairing the city walls and screens. After the war, we were responsible for carrying arrow feathers and iron bullets. It seems that when someone came back, his body was sticky, maybe it was carrying kerosene. people, but I'm not in charge of that part."
Nobushige Sanada continued to ask, "Then if we launch an offensive on Stable Bridge City next to attract their attention, do you have a chance to get close to their oil warehouse or gunpowder warehouse and blast their warehouse?"
After hearing his plan, the eyes of the samurai in the hall lit up, and they all looked at Shusuke kneeling in the middle, their eyes full of expectation.
And our wine assistant frowned, and replied with some embarrassment, "I'm just a ninja in charge of spying on information, and I'm not good at action."
How could Changchuan Zhenqin give up the opportunity to destroy the city that finally appeared, and he looked at Jiuzhu with a stern tone and asked, "Then are you sure to put people in and cooperate with them to find the warehouse? Leave the detonation to us to take charge."
Shusuke pondered for a moment and replied, "There is an earthen wall on the side of the Tone River that connects Nijimaru and Takahama Kwok. The defense there is relatively loose. You can walk along the earthen wall to Sannomaru, and perhaps enter the city through this."
Longboat Sadakin: "Where is the warehouse?"
Sake assistant: "According to my observation, arrows, knives and guns are stored in Sannomaru, and kerosene and gunpowder seem to be stored in Erzhiwan."
Osafune Sadao: "That is to say, even if you get into Sannomaru, you also need to get into Nijimaru to blow up their gunpowder warehouse?"
The liquor assistant nodded and replied, "I'm afraid that's the case."
The answer of the rescue made everyone in the hall helplessly shake their heads, and Okagari complained, "This multi-eyed Yuanzhong is really cautious."
When everyone fell into helplessness again, Sanada Nobushige said from the side, "Actually, it doesn't have to be so complicated. Things like gunpowder and kerosene are very afraid of water, so they will definitely be placed in a well-kept warehouse.
This kind of warehouse must be a relatively high platform, which can prevent the wetness of the ground from rain, and it is by no means usable after the renovation of ordinary samurai houses. "
Masatoshi Suga seemed to understand the meaning of Nobushige Sanada, but he was still unconvinced and asked him, "Do you mean a building like a two-story turret?"
"Hayi" Sanada Nobushige gave an affirmative answer to Suga Masatoshi's guess, "Such a dangerous thing must not be placed in the Honmaru castle tower, and the taller platforms in the second to Marunouchi are probably only the northeast corner and the southeast corner of the curved wheel." The two second-story sculls at the corner are gone."
Suga Masatoshi took the words and continued, "If the gunpowder and fire oil are hidden here, then it will be easy to handle. If people can move in along the Tubori, they don't even need to enter the city, and they can directly shoot fire arrows at the tower in the Tubori. Maybe it can set the oar tower on fire."
Nobushige Sanada further added, "There must be elite guards over there. If there is a little spark, there will definitely be fire to destroy it, so we must make them mess up."
"What's the mess?" Longchuan Zhenqin asked excitedly when he saw the plan to break the city.
"Night raid."
"Night raid?"
"Night attack!"
Masatoshi Suga helped Nobushige Sanada to give the answer. The answer was beyond the expectations of many people present, some were surprised, and some were puzzled, so there was a situation where one word had several tones.
They couldn't help but be surprised, because in this era, malnutrition is the norm for soldiers, and soldiers generally suffer from night blindness, and it is very difficult to learn.
In addition, the armor styles of the soldiers in the Warring States Period are similar. The most important way to distinguish between the enemy and the enemy is the color of the lining and the flag finger on the back. However, it is easy to have an oolong if the vision is not clear at night, so the commander will never wear it unless it is absolutely necessary. Launch a surprise attack at night.
"Yes." Masatoshi Suga once again gave a positive answer to everyone's doubts, and at the same time said to them, "Why mobilize the defenders to the maximum extent, Misaku Obi should also join the battle and launch an offensive with the Izumo crowd, Let the three sides of Stable Bridge City face the pressure of the enemy at the same time.
There is no distinction between feints and main attacks. The three lines of defense are all main attacks and feints.There is only one chance. If they can attract their main force to Waimaru Quwa, it will naturally increase the chances of success for the Rangers.
As long as the scull tower is ignited, the kerosene and gunpowder inside will explode, and the morale of Stable Bridge City will inevitably collapse. "
The reason why he didn't talk about some meritorious deeds was very simple. This ranger team was the key to breaking the city.
Suga Masatoshi, as the commander-in-chief of Suzaku Bei, directly did the work of the chief general, Osafune Sadakin, and directly made military strategic arrangements, and the arrangements were decent.
It's just that the commander-in-chief of this unit is still Changchuan Zhenqin, and everyone turned to him and waited for his reply.
For Changchuan Zhenqin, there is performance pressure, and now he finally has a plan to destroy the city, so he is naturally unwilling to give up, but now there is still a problem in front of him.
He glanced around and asked everyone, "Who is in command of this ranger?"
Everyone looks at me, I look at you, no one dares to give an answer.
Just kidding, everyone can see that although this ranger team can make some achievements after success, the risk is extremely high, and it is very likely that they will be wiped out in Tubori.
All of you present here are already high-ranking warriors who lead one side, even if you lie on the credit book and climb up, there is no problem, so naturally you don't want to take such a risk to make meritorious deeds.
However, if such an important task is assigned to the middle and low-level warriors under his command, Longchuan Zhenqin is afraid that there will be mistakes.
There is only one chance, and he must consider it carefully.
At this moment, Nobushige Sanada spoke again, "Miyako Misaku, let me take someone there. I proposed the prototype of the plan, and I am the only one who is most suitable for this matter."
"You? Are you suitable?" Osafune Sadakin heard that Sanada Nobushige volunteered, not only relieved that there was no one to solve it, but even more nervous.
It's all because Sanada Nobushige is the overseer sent by the Hideka, he is the absolute confidant of the Hideka, and the Hideka definitely doesn't want to see him make any mistakes.
But Nobushige Sanada asked for instructions again, "I know the location of the gunpowder storage better. Send me there to ensure nothing goes wrong."
Others didn't know the true identity of Nobushige Sanada, and when they saw him take the initiative to ask for a job, they all praised his bravery, and said to Osafune that this was a suitable candidate.
After struggling for a while, or perhaps being persuaded by the samurai, Osafune Sadan finally nodded and allowed Sanada Nobushige to lead the ranger to set off.
And took the initiative to ask him, "How many people do you need?"
Nobushige Sanada thought for a moment and replied: "Too many people will easily expose the position. Give me a few samurai who are good at shooting, and give us some flammable fire oil for us to take. The number of people should not exceed 10."
Longchuan Zhenqin nodded, this number is just right, the target is not big enough to hide in the shadows, and at the same time the number is enough to release the rocket and ignite the scull tower.
If you have a sharpshooter, you can even shoot in through the window, directly still the kerosene inside.
Immediately, he looked at the various warriors in front of him, took the lead and said, "Two of my subordinates are quite accurate with arrows, and they can shoot every arrow within a hundred steps. I will hand them over to you to lead."
With his leadership, Suga Masatoshi, Oka Toshikatsu and others opened their mouths one after another, and quickly got 10 for Sanada Nobushige, and the plan was implemented.
When the time came, Osafuna Sadachi specially called his two samurai over and said, "No matter what, try your best to ensure the safety of Sanada-sama, even if you sacrifice yourself."
At the same time, he sternly threatened Jiuzhu, "You must bring them out safely."
Although everyone didn't understand Osafune Sadakin's sudden attitude towards Sanada Nobushige so much, they thought in their own brains that it was because Sanada Nobushige was a valued person by the Hide family, and they also expressed their understanding of this.
After arranging everything, all the generals bid farewell to Osafuna Sada, and were about to go to implement the battle plan. Masatoshi Suga happened to be on the way with Nobushige Sanada. The powder and oil will be on the oars."
Nobushige Sanada smiled slyly and replied, "Because that's how the gunpowder in Okayama Castle is placed."

The two deflations made Osafuna very angry. He only had 12000 people in his hands, and at the moment there were only 7000 people on the Stable Bridge.
