632 Episode 631: Towards the War

SIDE: Kiyoki Asakura

The feast was fun. Sometimes we were in each other's shoes and couldn't tell each other, but we could hear all kinds of interesting stories. That even in the Oda family, Kuyuan is special. And when I hear it in person, I see a different side to the rumors, such as not having to rely on war to keep the country rich.

"Can't we still turn it to the enemy?

"It would be natural. Young and narrow, even though both sides of Kaga are troublesome."

Even Father Kaga is the one who spills it out of his hands. If we fight, we can win, but we don't have much ahead of us. It's not always just the gatekeepers of the crowd. Maybe it won't end unless you cut everything to pieces.

As a result, Father was surprised by one of the main temples in Migawa.

The Asakura family is a stone. Oda can fight even his opponents. Nevertheless, we must also think about what we can gain from fighting. If we're going to fight Oda, we'll start with Mino or Omi. Even the people of Mino struggle to cut off territory in that way when they win there.

In case there's nothing to be gained when you're always paired with the Kaga crowd, it could just be a prank to continue the fight.

"Oda doesn't want a fight in the first place either. I'm willing to give my lord a valuable Nanban crossing, as well as the deal this one seeks. There's no reason to fight."

Formerly the same Swamp minister. There will be places where we think of each other. Nevertheless, neither your lord nor your father are fond of battle enough to turn to the enemy even those who are unwilling to contend.

"Can you make something called that eel bulkie, even in Echizen?

"I may not be able to get the same flavor out. Did you say white-baked though? That was just open and baked. If that bothers you, we can make it. I just don't have that soy sauce in front of me."

The biggest surprise is the eel? I didn't know the lower fish would taste so good. However, you can't just open the eel and bake it. There must be some delicate moves.

Besides, there is no soy sauce in front of it that would be the deciding factor for the taste. It comes in small quantities from Kyoto capital and Ozhang, and I have tasted it from my father, but it is not even sold in Echimae.

In particular, Ozhang's Kuyuan soy sauce is exceptional. The more I know about that flavor, the more other soy sauce feels like muddy water.

"Maybe the deal is in the other side's favor"

"Say what. We'll have everything from shrimp ray to light."

"That's the same over there. No, considering that there is a long way to go directly to buy it, Oda would be advantageous"

Hasn't anyone noticed yet? Many of our Asakura family are proud to have loads from outside Nippon. It is now said that it is more prosperous than the capital of Kyo. Something I can't help but be proud of without knowing.

But we do not know the shrimp or the light directly. Besides, rumors of a black Nambarian ship from a long time ago are also heard from Ming merchants who visit Echizen these days. Do you think some ships have been attacked and sunk with greed?

"Would it be a minor difference?

"It's a big difference. How many years would it take for us to travel to Ming or Nanban? It will only take five years to build a ship. Besides, Oda's navy has no enemies and no defeat. It's hard for us to fight back when we're attacked from the sea."

I still don't understand. Is it the street your father fears?

The story is that the Ming merchant is a big, sturdy Nanban ship from a long time ago. Moreover, rumoured golden cannons have enlarged the cannon, and even the Merchant of Ming says it is a threat. If even ten ships attack us from the sea, we can't even fight back.

"Are you going out of your way to attack me by boat from Ozhang?

"It should be possible if it becomes a battle. A favorable battle over there. There's no point in not doing it."

I don't think you can win. Don't even think about turning it to your enemies, though.

Side: a long time ago

"I still don't like booze."

When the feast is over and cleaned up, only Nobunaga, Jingsu and all of us remain in the hall.

Nobunaga, who looked a little drunk, took a sigh of tea with a drunken reminder. You didn't like alcohol, but you drank it to hang out in front of the messenger.

I guess he didn't want to be seen sweetly if he couldn't even drink. Drinking tended to be that way in the original world, but that's the way I see it in this day and age.

"I feel narrow when I look at it on the map, but when I come to Sekihara like this, the Japanese book is huge."

I think you have deepened your friendship with the Asakura family's messenger. What I thought was invaluable was that you could hear a little bit about Sodo fumigating the eagle chick.

I don't bring what's natural, I raise it myself. I was proud to tell him it would be the same way we did it and ask him if it would be hard to do trial or error or something.

Nobunaga is also serious about his expression as to whether the Asakura family saw him as a strong enemy. In the case of the Asai family, honestly, we all don't feel so critical headed by Nobunaga. The Asakura family may have sent a good messenger at a good time.

"Yeah, it's huge. It's just wider outside the Japanese book."

I also went to Kanto and our island. I think Nobunaga can see things from a wider perspective thanks to the fact that he came to Sekihara, which can then be described as the border with Kichinai.

Rather than Asai, this battle can be described as an outpost of battle against the forces in Kichinai, which will happen in the future.

The struggle will not be tolerated in case. If you think Oda is weak, it's not weird who turns to the enemy, with Hexagon or Asakura at the head.

"No matter how much power the Asai family has, three thousand will be at best. Shoot to death like surrounding with artillery, crossbow, and bow projectiles of different ranges to stir up your fear, and if you hit it on top of it, it will supposedly collapse. The question is, do you want to retreat there or do you want to risk your life to attack me? The allies are floating in the victory. If you make a mistake, the damage will increase."

Nobunaga seems nervous about the first-ever extraction of the army. Elle talks about the whereabouts of a war situation assumed with a serious face to push such Nobunaga further.

"Elle, how about if that happens?

"There's not one way. If you have someone on the front line that you can trust, you should leave it to them. It is also effective to form a formation assuming it again from the beginning. We should also consider the presence of ambushes, reinforcements, etc. as the basis of our military strategy."

Nobunaga asks Elle to teach honestly, doesn't he? It feels like I don't care where I stand or who I am. Well, no one here needs to worry about details.

It's not like the tactics of the original world's era can keep you alive. The wars of this era have the characteristics and traditions of warfare of this era.

There is not so much that the General can discriminate when the battle begins. That would explain the preferential treatment accorded to the people and warlords of the country.

"Hmm, reinforcements are pretty good. Ambush must be vigilant."

"Yes. This time, though, we should simply make this one a favorable fight because the numbers are different. Being vigilant and separating soldiers is a foolishness. Use field positions and castles to fight with numbers of forces. That's all you need to do with the basic measures. Julia controls the front line."

It's a general course by Elle. Honestly, if we fight normally, we can win. If it rained, the iron gun system would be difficult to use, but as a measure, I added more crossbows and brought umbrellas.

If it's a riot, if you're going to shoot from a position anyway, even an umbrella should be fine if it's about light rain.

But it's 3,000. Shoot in the wooden cannon and the enemy won't feel like collapsing. And this time, I'm also thinking about putting the elite together and running it.

In wars of this era, samurai are commonly led by ministers and soldiers of the people, but they bring together samurai specializing in the martial arts chosen by Julia and put them on the front line.

To put it another way, I would say that the conscripts have assembled the bad guys. It's called "elite" because the outside world is bad, because the essence is a shouting or slashing squad, so if you're good, you have a huge opportunity to handle it. Five hundred elite men can do it together as one offering. Some of them bought Shinsu's anger and took up the territory, but we all desperate because we have no ahead of us if we don't get a handle on it.

I have trouble handling it, but I can control it if it's strange and Julia, you know, people like that.

It's bad for Asai, but it's an affordable match for Nobunaga's first line of generals. Until the battle begins, I'm ready to be around, but when it begins, the Admiral has nothing to do that far.

Believe me, I think we need to watch. Though that may be the hardest place for Nobunaga.
