Samurai of the Takeda Family

The day gradually passed, and Yanqi City, which had been fighting for a day, gradually calmed down.

　　 "What Tengumaru was captured by Erbe?"

To the east of 　　Iwagaki Castle, in the main formation of the Echigo Army, Ken Uesugi looked surprised when he heard about it.

　　 "Yes, it's the military newspaper sent by Lord Sabe himself," Naoe Mintsuna asked from the side, "Master, is there anything wrong?"

Kenshin Uesugi nodded and said, "Yes, according to the information provided to me by Takeda Yoshinobu, Iwagaki Castle is a strong castle. Takeda Katsuyori has more than 150 iron cannons to help. Li Xiao, Daxiong Chaoxiu, where a brave champion of the three armies is located, is not so easy to be captured by our army on the first day."

　　 Naoe Mizuna laughed and said: "The lord has been worrying too much. Today, I fought hard for a day, but Lord Sabe paid the price of more than 400 people, and it must have given enough damage to the Takeda army."

Kenshin Uesugi shook his head and said, "Maybe others would think so, but the Takeda army in front of you is different. They defeated our army by defeating more and less in the Battle of Shirane Mountain. I feel a little uneasy, maybe I'm worrying too much."

Naoe Mizuna sighed, and said: "It is necessary for the lord to be worried. I guess the Takeda army is more likely to plan to preserve its military strength. Judging from the map of Iwasaki Castle, the topography of Ninomaru and Nakajo is better than Tengu. Maru is even more dangerous. The two cities are horns to each other. This is the reason why Iwagaki Castle is really called Kennedy Castle. I think the Takeda Army would like to concentrate its forces here to hold on."

Kenshin Uesugi nodded and said, "Naoe, what you said is reasonable. But Li Xiao and Masayuki Sanada are resourceful people, and you can't be unprepared. The order goes on, let the Tengu Maruirobu Katsumi be stationed, tonight Even if you fall asleep, you have to keep one eye open. Tengumaru must not make any mistakes."

"Oh!"

　　 Naoe Mizuna promised and withdrew from the big account.

　　 Iwagaki Castle’s Ninomaru is now temporarily taken over by Dai Xiong Chaoxiu, replacing Li Xiao, to guard against possible night attacks by the Echigo Army.

　　In the castle tower of Iwagaki Castle Honmaru.

　　 Li Xiao, Masayuki Sanada, Masabo Baba, Masanori Bao Ke, and a few generals have not entered the rice all day, and now they have time to sit down and eat.

　　 Right now they are in front of Takeda Katsurai, each holding a bowl of rice with tea, sucking and slurping into their mouths with soup and water, looking like they are devouring them.

　　Only Li Xiao put the bowl aside and talked about today's battle with Takeda Katsura.

　　 The two of them walked to the observation deck of the castle tower from time to time, and picked up the Echihou Army's position, which was a thousand miles away, to observe the formation.

　　 This telescope is a Southern Barbarian, that is, the metal single-scope telescope at that time, which was discovered from the city after the city was breached at that time.

At that time, the Takeda army didn’t know what the purpose of this thousand-mile pipe was. Coincidentally in the past few days, it was discovered by Li Xiao, and he used it to play. The military telescope turning around is called a clear one.

　　 This 16th century product is just for fun.

　　 But this thousand-mile tube was finally taken by Takeda Katsuyoshi and took it as his own.

"His Royal Highness, in the fierce battle today, the number of casualties in our army was less than 70. In addition to the geographical advantages, the main reason is that our army is equipped with iron cannons and bows which have played a huge role, but the ammunition and arrows of the iron cannons are used. Too big. If used at this schedule, our ammunition arrows will only be able to support two more days at most. Once the ammunition runs out, it will be difficult for our army to resist the offensive of the Echihou Army."

　　 Li Xiao said to Takeda Masaru Lai Jian. He was also telling the truth. Once the iron cannons and bows and arrows are exhausted, I am afraid that with the advantage of the number of Echihou Army, it takes less than half a day to take the entire Iwasaki Castle.

　　 Takeda Masaru Lai frowned, and said to Li Xiao: "You are right, but ammunition and arrows can't be easily changed. How can this be done?"

　　 "Masakino, what do you think?"

　　 Masao Sanada thought for a while, but shook his head, indicating that he could do nothing.

　　 The rest of the audience will hear that even the resourceful Sanada Masao has no choice but to shook his head, indicating that they have no idea.

　　 "How can this be good?"

　　 Seeing that everyone had nothing to do, Katsuyori Takeda couldn't help but smashed the floor with his fists.

　　 Just when everyone was at a loss, Takeda Katsuyori approached the crowd and suddenly knelt down in front of Takeda Katsuyai from the side, saying: "His Royal Highness Katsurai, your minister has a way."

　　 It seemed to everyone that this man who was close to the crowd was not a familiar face. Obviously, he had not served as a guard next to Takeda Katsuyoshi for a long time.

　　 "Da Zang Changan," Takeda Katsuyori called out his name, frowning and asked, "There are so many ministers here who can't think of a strategy, can you think of it?"

Hearing the name of Da Zang Chang’an, Li Xiao said in his heart, thinking, dizzy, isn’t this Okubo Chang’an? Later, the Laozhong of the Tokugawa Shogunate, known as the Chief Minister of the World, the first minister of internal affairs, what should he do? He forgot.

　　 "Master, might as well let the Tibetan Chang'an speak frankly, anyway, there is no better way for the time being." Li Xiao said.

　　 Takeda Katsurai heard Li Xiao say this, and also said: "Da Zang Changan, just say it."

Oh, Dazang Changan raised his head and said in a very methodical manner: "His Royal Highness, although the ministers can’t make out the iron cannon ammunition and arrows out of thin air, they can reduce the number of shots through precise calculations and overall planning to avoid A waste of ammunition and arrows."

　　 "Asshole, do you mean, let's not shoot with bow-foot light and iron guns lightly? What do you want them to do like that?" Takeda Katsuyai cursed on the spot.

"His Royal Highness, it's not about not shooting, but about managing the quantity." Changan Dazang did not get discouraged by Takeda Katsuyoshi's reprimand, but continued to speak calmly, "According to the observation of his minister, the ammunition was consumed. The main reason for the oversize ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ is because of uneven distribution. For example, some iron cannons can fire more than 30 shots a day, and some can only fire five or six shots a day. In this way, 30 shots are fired a day. A few shots of iron cannons are bound to cause waste. The minister only controls the quantity of ammunition for each iron cannon, reducing it to an average number, and saving the total number of shots on the premise of avoiding waste. "

Katsuyori Takeda was still confused when he heard that, but Li Xiao was shocked. He said that Okubo Changan is really a talent. This thinking is a bit similar to the overall management of modern economics. It is every CEO and Manager. The content of learning.

Takeda Katsurai has not yet decided, Li Xiao immediately slapped his thigh and said: "Okay, since it is your suggestion, it is up to you to implement it. Now you are acting as a follower for the time being to handle the issue of ammunition distribution. It must be implemented tonight. ."

　　 Da Zang Changan heard that his opinion was accepted, he was overjoyed immediately, buried his head, and said loudly: "Subordinates must swear to finish this matter, please rest assured, Lord Li Xiao."

　　 At this moment, his heart is like turning over the river.

　　Dazang Changan said silently in his heart: I, Changan, assiduously seek the opportunity to show off my skills, and finally realized at this moment. Wait, my father, Chang'an will follow His Highness Shenglai and become famous under this city of Yanqi!

　　 Thinking of this, Dazang Changan clasped his knees with both hands.

　　 The second day of the Iwagaki Castle Battle.

　　 The attack lineup of the Echigo Army has been adjusted. Yesterday, the two city lord Nakajo Fujisuke, who suffered heavy casualties, were replaced.

　　 was replaced by the second division, one of the four kings of Uesugi, the lord of Iizuka Ashikaro, the lord of Kanzuka Keichi, and the lord of Xintianfa Castle, and the successor of Xinbata Nagato. They attacked Iwasaki Castle.

　　 The tragic siege battle finally started again the next day.
