Chronicles of The Hardships of Komachi in The Sengoku Era

Nobunaga's battle has changed. That was almost everyone's idea if anyone had ever been involved in the Mino offensive.

Until now there have been many forced breakthroughs that, to put it badly, have driven momentum. It is in itself a universal tactic and can be described as a splendid measure to determine trends.

In war, it is rare to win by odd tactics only, and in the end it will always be a total battle from the front.

The problem is when to do it. If the timing is incorrect, it will only end if its own forces are damaged.

"Lower the soldiers to the position of example."

"Ha!

There is never much Nobunaga has instructed.

If the warlord defending the castle is his bloody opponent, he lowers his soldiers as he deliberately defeated by making a forcible entry.

That gives them roughly two choices to take. One thinks he's won, and he just ends up winning.

And the other is to try to do more damage to the target and come out.

If you become the latter, you make money. Because it leaves the guard of a robust castle and exposes itself to defencelessness.

"Shoot the arrow."

"Ha!!

A well-lured warlord is lured to the perfect terrain to fight an enemy called the enclosure.

The Nobunaga side can safely shoot a bow from a height, and the enemy general side is driven into a state where there is only one place to escape.

Naturally, the enemy generals panic, including warlords. But there is a soldier on Nobunaga's side laying low on the way out, and the retreat is not fulfilled, and stagnation occurs with the stopping allies, one retreating soldier after the other.

When this happens, the battle is one-sided. Just throw in rocks, fallen trees, etc. even if it's not an arrow, and you can defeat enemy soldiers as funny as you can.

"And, my lord!! Miscellaneous soldiers have arrived in the back and won't get away with it! The Oda Army is waiting for you! Wow, we're surrounded!

"Nooo! That's why you lowered your troops!... gather the safe men and make a headway to the Oda Army!

That's the enemy general who shouted, but the operation was never transferred to execution.

Because countless arrows struck enemy generals as if they had measured the timing.

Dozens of arrows pierce the enemy general's throat, chest, arms and feet. Shortly after I gave him the cry of the Terminator, he lost his life.

Of course, it doesn't always work like this.

At first, he was not as effective as he thought, causing harm to the disciples (mischief). Nobunaga, who was supposedly going to be furious at a war situation that wasn't progressive (ridiculous), said this with an invincible grin.

"Well done."

Until then, the attitude embodied just how young I was.

Though seemingly vain, he was boldly operating his soldiers without being bound by local victories and defeats, and at the end of the day, he was winning.

It's not like there's no anger or rush. Instead, the inner flames were burning. Nobunaga, more temperamental than his ex, was corrupt in his efforts to be calm.

The more unfavourable the situation, the more laughing.

This is what Nobunaga is doing. You'll just look like you're in a vanity by the side.

But by standing still, he tried to control his enemy's feelings of 'anxiety'.

The emotion of 'anxiety' is troublesome, no matter how much denial material there is, it cannot be completely dispelled, and the small seeds of anxiety sprout and grow.

Nobunaga therefore removed his army's 'anxiety' wherever possible and, conversely, sprinkled the enemy side with seeds of suspicion that were the source of anxiety and anxiety.

No matter how much adversity you are driven into, morale will drop if the commander shows agitation in front of his men.

Just like that, if Nobunaga spreads the irritation of malaise, it will cause extra 'anxiety' in the distribution.

Therefore, Nobunaga imagined "an insensitively immobile fighting general," and worried about the seriousness of things, the good news, and the grandeur of things as if they were always within the assumption.

This will do the work besides the thought, and the warlords will, of course, greatly courage the footmen.

Conversely, the enemy actively incorporated measures to drive 'anxiety'.

And he stripped his armor from the miscellaneous soldiers of the castle that he had dropped, and put it on the middlemen, and made them disguised as the wind that had fallen from the castle.

Initially, I tried to get him to make a report that would incite 'anxiety' as it were, but Nobunaga thought it was weak on its own.

Push one step further and explore more effective means.

And what I came up with was a 'report that's not lying, but that's not telling the truth either', which means making a misleading report by deliberately omitting the information you give.

Human beings are easy to interpret words and what has happened to those at your convenience. Even if that was a lie, if the story is easily received by the person who received the report, people interpret it that way.

This allows an intermediary to induce arbitrary thinking without lying. And they just haven't told us everything, and they haven't lied, so there's nothing to be suspected of.

Let's say, for example, that Nobunaga reported that he was marching for the next castle.

It looks like a normal report at first glance. But the key part of this report is deliberately bogged down.

When Nobunaga is marching on, this is the truth. Nevertheless, information on the size of the accompanying warlords and soldiers is omitted.

Naturally, there are no warlords peddling the reports of one soldier. You may also be asked about formation and size, but you do not know the details, and you will try to send out a scourge to gather more information. But this can be done by limiting the time needed to make a decision (e.g., Nobunaga is coming in the immediate vicinity, etc.), or by causing warlords to discover evidence to back up that information (e.g., to show where Nobunaga's army is actually moving, etc.).

They mistake this now for a one-of-a-kind chance, sending troops to storm the back of Nobunaga.

But the army led by Nobunaga is a speed priority for horsemen only, and the main unit storms behind the lured enemy army. Nobunaga's troops also flip and sandwich where the enemy has stopped moving.

Even as I reprimanded the rapporteur for realizing the fatal failure, by then the person in question was hiding in the clouds and I had no choice but to curse my bad luck.

However, besides acting ability and gall strength, Nobunaga believed that securing human resources would be a challenge in the future, as it would require a high level of ability to drive if it did not go well.

Although still in the testing phase, Nobunaga also incorporated new formations. It's a dense formation, the so-called Faranx.

Even so, like the Mediterranean and Macedonian ceremonies, it is difficult to say what the formation is made up of by the elite.

There are also a small number of people, ranging from 30 to 40.

Then he had a row of five, a large enough shield for the front row to cover and conceal the body made of an undressed wooden plate, and after the second row about twenty people held Nobunaga's developed long spear and placed several soldiers with crossbows at the rear.

The soldiers making up the formation were confused and surprised and giddy by the first formation.

Still, because of the close feeling of death on the battlefield, some troops had demonstrated a sense of unity and unity in their attacks.

Front row prevents the opponent's arrows, long spears for approaching enemy soldiers, and crossbows for attacks from arrow spans, etc.

Unless it was a medium-sized or large-scale mountain castle, where there was only a degree of defensive equipment such as fencing, moats and earthen walls in various parts of the mountain using natural terrain, the tactics of groups uniting to open blood paths, like Faranx, had a constant effect.

"Raising the level of intensive formation is a challenge for the future, OK?"

"Ha. I just got a report that I broke through my final defense and am currently conducting a castle attack"

"Okay, good job. Stand back those in the dense formation. And the little ones. Miscellaneous soldiers are enough for the rest."

As the saying goes, Mountain Castle was no longer one step ahead of the fall.

A few black smokes had already gone up from the top of the mountain. It is not known whether the miscellaneous soldiers on Nobunaga's side set fire to it, or whether the people in Yamagata set fire to it as self-inflicted abandonment.

Nobunaga, who was not interested in it, glances at the smoke and then walks out with his back to Kasei Mori.

"I'll drop the rest of the castle at this rate."

"Ha!"

I bow my head respectfully and Kasei Mori replies. But he was sweating a muscle on his cheek.

I'm scared. Take the knowledge of Nanban and Ming into yourself, and put it into practice and achieve results.

(… the hall makes that one and thus practises it. I was also amazed at the knowledge of Lord Shizuko, but he may still be no match for the Tempin of the Hall)

Military law books, reports from colors, reports from strange circles, and various other episodes that leak directly from Shizuko.

Kasei Mori feared unconsciously at Nobunaga, who chooses the content from among them and makes it happen in a rational way.

(I don't mind being slandered with the cautious. I am terrified of the hall. How big can this one get?)

Kasei Mori looks at Nobunaga's back.

It should only look like a normal human back, but why not? It looked so big and horrible to Kasei Mori's eyes that he looked up.

Meanwhile, in an idyllic rural area far from the battlefield, Shizuko was thinking it was time to use one of his secret weapons.

It is "Hakuri-kuri in preparation" used to wake up the field.

Traditional field waking work is easy to hurt the lower back from working with forwards and forwards.

The idea was to improve work efficiency and reduce the burden on the lower back by using creasing while standing there and being able to work.

I use the Teco principle to soil myself up, so I don't even need that much strength.

Developed in the Daejong period, from the early Showa period until the 1940s, when it came to waking up the fields, it meant plowing the fields using Hakuri prep.

I just can't afford to give each and every one of them away, but I was able to produce about 30 pieces that I could distribute to each village.

"It's good because agriculture can depend on other people... household registration is more of a problem. Making it from scratch is a huge amount of work."

The registrar was still in the process of organizing. Somehow, in order to create a family registry, it was necessary to create an address first.

And the problem isn't just the address. The condition that my husband and wife did not grasp the family structure was also a problem.

During the Warring States, when I came back from the war, there were more children, etc., which was a daily tea meal.

But the man thought nothing in particular, rather to the extent that he was pleased that my child had more.

Regardless, some questioned his wife's infidelity rather than everything fitting in circles.

But the majority didn't care if they had more families.

Such vague thinking creates inconvenience in protecting critical munitions bases. They allow spies from other countries to intervene.

When my husband is away in battle or something, it would be a big problem if my wife was unfaithful to me, divulging secrets, etc.

All that, I couldn't forgive any static child. The development of family registries is one of the intermediate measures, but simply creating them does not make sense.

It is necessary to limit contact with the outside world as far as possible, until the agricultural technology held by Shizuko is' known 'to Shinagawa's children.

Sooner or later, the agricultural technology of Shizuko will be known to other countries and will be incorporated in order to increase production.

At that time, there are various inconveniences in the state where one Shizuko holds the skill.

If other countries find out that Shizuko is at the core of agricultural technology, they are certain to plot the assassination of Shizuko in order to cut off the forces of the Oda family.

I wanted to avoid being unilaterally targeted and killed by people who don't know the boulders well.

For this reason, it is necessary to move from the state of "one Shizuko knows" to the state of "unspecified people know", which is the next step.

If you go into that state, assassinating one Shizuko won't do much good. So in order to protect herself, she needed to spread the technology around at best.

But what she was doing to protect herself was actually close to a rich country policy called 'Bottom Up'.

Agricultural technology spreads fan-shaped from Shizuko's village to its origins, eventually becoming known to all the inhabitants of Oda territory.

When that happens, Oda territory will be a country with a higher yield than it would have been in the Warring States era.

The scariest part of "Bottom Up" is where it can no longer be helped, trying to crush where it started.

Attacking Shizuko's village with its already widespread presence in the territory does not mean that all production in Oda territory falls.

To eradicate once rooted knowledge, it is necessary to kill all but one of the inhabitants and destroy all records.

And in order to accomplish that, we need to destroy the Oda family, and there will be a contradiction that we need the destruction of the Oda family as a prerequisite for cutting the power of war.

"I can't help but mourn. I was wondering if there was any other way to convey the order than a fast horse."

Using a fast horse person many times a day is too costly for a boulder.

Shizuko thought it would be easier to exchange information.

"Hey, Shizuko, I'm here to see you... Wow! Surprised..."

As I put my arms together and thought, a strange round of voices flew through the front door.

Shizuko goes to the front door as soon as she wonders what was going on because she was screaming along the way.

"What's the matter?

A peek at the front door with that said, Kaiser and Kanich were circling around the odd circle.

But when he notices Shizuko, the two run over to Shizuko, leaving a surprising odd circle unattended and waving their tails.

They both dropped their hips in front of Shizuko and shook their tails wide to sweep the floor.

This is a move that goes out when you show the utmost love and respect for the superiors of the flock. In words, "Please tell me anything!".

Shizuko understands that, speaking of which, she reminds me that Vitman and the others haven't been able to spare her lately due to her busyness.

Perhaps it feels like "I miss you, so don't worry". This is stressful for the Vitmans and not good for their bodies or their minds.

"Okay, we can do it tomorrow anyway, and stop working today. Kaiser, bring that one."

Shizuko performs a certain motion in front of Kaiser. Kaiser, who understood what it was, immediately stood up and headed to pick it up.

After seeing it through, Shizuko blew a dog whistle that she used a lot. The contents are "all gathered together". I was waiting, just saying that the Vitmans got together right away.

Everyone sees Shizuko, or licks her mouth and makes a 'love it' appeal. Shizuko stroked their bodies a little exaggerated, as if to apologize for not being able to accumulate a lot of work for them.

Kaiser came back with his mouth full of what he had been asked for at the gathering place.

That was a disc-shaped shape, close to what is called frisbee.

When she received it, she said this to an odd circle that was still stunned.

"I'm going to play with the Kaisers, but you're going out with Teamaru, too?

The waist pulled slightly, but I saw something scary and the strange circle nodded small.

Nobunaga had taken a small pause at the main guard.

The castle you are currently attacking is already in front of the fall. And then this next time I got the use of going down from the castle to the military gate I was planning to attack.

Nobunaga's faction has no great soldier damage, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is doing well.

But he can't relax unless he drops Inaya Yamajo, where Ryuxing Saito is.

Nobunaga was flirting with Crossbow, one of the secret weapons for this purpose.

"Kosei, what do you think of this Kurosubo?

Nobunaga asks Kasei Mori, who is holding back beside him. He thought only a little and said this towards Nobunaga.

"Powerful. Now that you have the tools to pull the strings, I was wondering if that time would be full of gaps."

"Hmm, is it still a problem to pull strings"

Nobunaga had also received warnings from Shizuko that he had 'a long time to pull strings'.

To make sure how much it was, he experimentally introduced it into the war.

The result was as Shizuko warned. Nobunaga compares fire rope guns, Japanese bows, and crossbows in his head.

The longest effective range is the Wah bow, followed by the crossbow, and finally the volcano gun.

Continuous shooting capability is also a Japanese bow, followed by a crossbow, and finally a fire-rine gun.

Manufacturing costs are overwhelmingly cheap crossbows, followed by Wah bows and lastly, a fire rope gun.

The power is overwhelming with a volcano gun, followed by a Japanese bow and finally a crossbow.

Maintenance costs are overwhelmingly high for a fireline gun that consumes black gunpowder, followed by a Japanese bow and finally a crossbow.

"... Kasei, I thought so. I don't think it's possible to put something else on where you can put the arrow.

The crossbow has a wooden pedestal and is made to fire with an arrow on it.

There were also string receptacles, which inevitably had some flat parts. Nobunaga wondered if he could put anything other than an arrow on it.

"Ha, I do think I can get another one on... but I think I'm going to be pretty limited on what I can get on"

"I don't mind. I wish I could do something that would make him (Ryuxing Saito) lose his hips. And this string pulling device, can't it be substituted for something else?"

Nobunaga uses the equipment to pull strings as he says. Even though this is the only time to use your powers, it's a long time.

This time is a dead and alive issue if it comes to a brawl. But loosening the strings reduces the power. Nobunaga wonders if there is any way to keep the power down and shorten the time to pull strings.

(There must be some way. It is much easier to prepare 100 people for what has overcome the shortcomings of this walrus than to gather ten skilled people to fly arrows for 33 years)

I look at the crossbow while thinking about it, but the answer was still not easy.
