Samurai of the Takeda Family

The 158th chapter front arrow array vs square circle array

Fuxin's mood at the moment changed instantly, as if from heaven to hell, it was two extremes.

Originally intending to destroy Jiangma's family, Sister Xiaolu Lianglai promised that he could obtain a fief of two thousand stones and become the lord of Suwa Castle on the plateau.

This is undoubtedly a great advantage for the Heshang family. Three thousand stones plus the original two thousand stones, the Heshang family can become a small name of five thousand stones. And instead of living in a simple cottage built with mountains and trees, he can move into Suwa Castle, which has stone walls and is more stable and comfortable.

The key point is that he can replace Jiangma's family as the most powerful family in Beifei. Kawakami Fuxin believes that with his influence, he can win over some local people, and in the future can even get rid of the restraint of the sister Xiaolu family and become an independent name.

It was under this temptation that the Heshang family betrayed the main family Jiangma family, and chose a road to defeat the main family to reach their ambitions.

But now because of the Takeda Army's participation, Jiangma's family has received strong support, and Yoshikoji Yoshiro has to suspend the attack on the plateau Suwa Castle.

If Sister Xiaolu didn't destroy Jiang Ma's family, then for Heshang Fuxin, the next will undoubtedly be an extremely sad fate, Jiang Ma's family will tilt all the anger on this traitor.

In this way, the house on the river is in danger.

Therefore, for the sister Koru family in this battle, the Suwa Castle can not be captured and can be retreated, but the Kawakami family and the Heren family can never retreat.

Obviously, Anakoji Ryorai also calculated this, and ordered the forces of the Kawakami family and the Hein family to block the Takeda army on the mountain together.

This is to tell the soldiers of the Heshang family and the Heren family to fight for their lives, and they have to fight to death. If it can be successfully blocked, the Sister-Xiaolu Army reorganizes its forces, and the two-sided attack can annihilate the Takeda Army in one fell swoop, and then attack the plateau Suwa Castle.

In case the block fails...

Heshang Fuxin has not dared to think anymore.

There is no retreat, even if it is lost, at least it must persist until the Sister Xiaolu Army regroups.

Kawakami Toshin thought this, and then shouted to order the forces of the Kawakami and Ren two coalition forces to advance, and they came to the hillside where the Takeda Army was away from the five towns.

Kawakami Fushin is not ready to attack, but he only needs to block the way for the Takeda army to prevent the opponent from plagiarizing to the rear and attack the main formation of the sister Koru family.

Kawakami confidently laid out the tactics to delay time, and at the same time prayed from the bottom of his heart that the sister road army immediately retreated to the plateau Suwa city, and then reorganized the army to reinforce them.

On the hillside where the Takeda Army is stationed.

Li Xiao looked at the military forces that were blocking them in front of them, and Masashima Masaru fiercely asked: "How does the enemy's combat power compare with ours?"

Shima Katsumi sneered, raised his whip, and pointed at the enemy troops in the mountains from a high level, saying: "Master, the mountain people of Hida country are brave and good at fighting, but the enemy is the leader of the army. But they are afraid of our army's strength and lack the courage to fight in the first battle. If they take the initiative to attack our army, it would be a bit difficult to do, but now they have lost their aggressiveness and only wait for us to defeat it in the first battle."

Li Xiao nodded and said: "That's right, since that's the case, victory is fierce, and you will command the entire army for me in this battle."

"Master?" Dao Shengmeng said in surprise.

It is no wonder that Dao Sheng Meng was surprised. Generally, the famous or wealthy clan played in the battle, and he personally took the command of the general, but Li Xiao let Dao Sheng Meng come to direct the battle, which was contrary to common sense.

However, Li Xiao was self-aware. He didn't fully understand the tactics of the Cold Weapon Era and needed to learn.

Defeating Uesugi Kenshin in a field battle at Shirane Mountain, in addition to his own smartness that modern people see, most of it was due to luck. Uesugi Kenshin did not know his own details, so he suffered the disadvantage of underestimating the enemy.

Because it is a cold weapon warfare, it is restricted by the army’s warrior spirit. The modern skirmish line style suitable for avoiding heavy fire is seldom used. Forward.

Therefore, if Li Xiao is to command an army formation of more than hundreds of people and fight by marching into the formation, he may not have done well with Dao Shengmeng, and may not be as good as the opponent.

In short, in the future, Dao Sheng Meng will also be a general in Li Xiao's army, and Li Xiao is also ready to train him well. If he does not delegate the power to him at this time, would he have to wait to grind his guns in the future.

Seeing that Li Xiao gave him command, Dao Sheng suddenly felt Li Xiao's trust in him, and at the same time shouldered a responsibility and pressure.

Now Li Xiao can act as a general in power, but instead sees the battle from the perspective of a bystander.

Li Xiao looked carefully from the mountain, went to Heshang and the Renjia coalition forces, they had already begun to line up.

The opponents are arranged in two armies on the left and right, arranged in a dense formation, arranged one after the other, with a circular defensive line, arrayed in the direction of the Takeda army.

Li Xiao listened to Dao Shengmeng's explanation that the Heshang and Jen coalition forces deployed a square circle that was conducive to defense.

The square circle formation is close to the legendary iron barrel formation. It is dispatched and commanded by the general general in the center, and then the bow foot light team and the gun foot light team are arranged in a circular formation from the outside to the inside.

The advantage of the square circle array is that the circular array can minimize the attacked area of ​​the front, rear, left, and right, and the densely arranged forces provide strong support for the front, rear, left, and right sides. Even if a certain part is attacked by the enemy, the military strength is not Easy to collapse.

In short, this is a tactic of not attacking the enemy, first establishing yourself in an invincible place.

But the shortcomings of the square circle formation are also obvious. It is only easy to defend, difficult to switch from defense to offense, and it has poor mobility and is not conducive to chasing.

However, the purpose of Fuxin Kashang's deployment of this battle is also very clear. It is to delay time with dense and unbreakable defenses, and wait for the reinforcements of the sister road army after it regains its strength.

Obviously Kashang Fuxin's decision was also very correct, and he adopted the most suitable military formation according to local conditions.

On the other hand, on the Takeda family's side, under the command of Shima Katsutake, the Takeda Army deployed, claiming to be the strongest attacking frontya formation.

The front arrow formation is commonly known as the arrow formation, in which the elite soldiers are placed at the forefront of the arrow of the formation, and then the two wings of the arrow are slanted and flattened. The tip of the arrow is almost in the shape of a regular triangle.

Generally speaking, the frontal vector array is used for breakthrough line defense, mainly to attack the enemy's defense line by a strong force, and then open the follow-up force to advance.

However, it is not very effective for a dense defense such as a square circle. If the opponent's defense is too strong ~ www.wuxiamtl.com~, it is easy to break or deform the arrow formation in front. Generally speaking, under the condition of superior military strength, using the fish-scale formations of successive attacks to slowly wear away is the more mature and serious method of tactics.

However, Li Xiao saw at a glance the purpose of Dao Shengmeng doing this.

Shima's intention is very simple, that is, to arrange all the strong soldiers at the arrow position of the front arrow so that they can attack the center of the weak central joint of the two armies by storming the Heshang and Renlian forces.

After achieving the goal of tearing the two armies apart from the middle, the follow-up troops rushed to open up and expand the results.

This method of tactics is correspondingly very targeted, because it takes into account the intention of the sister Xiaolu's family to gather reinforcements, so it adopts a decisive method of tactics.

Although it would take a little risk, if it succeeds, the Takeda Army can defeat it in a short time.

So thinking about it this way, Shima Shengmeng's tactics are also very correct.

After the formation of the Takeda army, Shima Katsumo rode forward and swung the sword forward. The 500 army of Takeda took a neat pace and, as the attacker, began to march in the direction of the Kawakami and Hitoshi Allied Forces.
