Chapter 1568 1540. Demonic Weapons
A good leader will not pick on others, but will gain insight into the psychological state of the leader, and thus better establish his or her own style of behavior.
Lan En undoubtedly knew this well.
He came down with a tough order and immediately responded to the order.
"Since the Night Sword God has been worshipped, he still came out of the shrine and led a group of monsters. It should have been influenced by Yilong with spirit stones. He fell from God and became a wild soul."
After Lan En glanced around, he saw that he was very obedient, so he continued to analyze.
"Since you have figured out the background of those spirit stones and the leading monsters, the rest will be decided."
"Your Highness, have you already have a way to deal with the monster army?"
Futi Yoshiro shouted flatteringly.
Lan Eun glanced at him.
It is not impossible to use mortal troops to fight monsters.
But no matter how hard you say it, you have to have enough weapons and equipment.
Now, from a normal historical perspective, it was when muskets were introduced from Europe to Japan. But because it has only been introduced for a short time, there are no too many muskets in the inner area of the Japanese archipelago, such as Mino.
Of course, the power of muskets in normal history is not enough to be seen. After all, a flying fist of a heretic soldier, except for the lack of fragments, is almost the same as the power of an RPG.
The ammunition logistics are not needed yet.
But the muskets in this world should not be simple, otherwise they would not have killed the knight class on the European continent.
In this magical world, Lan En doesn't believe that the knights have few ruthless work.
But now, there are no conditions to install muskets on a large scale.
"The monsters went to siege Yancuncheng, but our key goal was not Iwamura, but here!"
The Lake Girl's Sword was sheathed and pointed at a place on the map on the table.
"Here?" Fujiro tilted his head so that he could look at the text marked on the map, "Tread the horn."
"Tread the horny mountain?" Akechi Mitsuhide's culture was much higher than Fujiro, and his understanding of Mino map was much higher. He immediately said the map annotation that Fujiro stuttered and didn't dare to confirm.
"But why is it here, Your Highness?"
"This place is indeed important, but the current situation is in warriors."
Akichi Mitsuhide didn't finish his words, but in this formation, the samurai who had fought in Mino's eastward expedition looked at each other, knowing what this meant.
It cannot be said that it has nothing to do with it, it can only be said that it is incompatible with each other.
Taweishan is a production place of high-quality iron ore. In Minon, many knife makers gathered there and gradually formed a well-known forging village.
Although the craftsmen of this era do not understand what the "integration advantage" is, they have actually completed some "integration" when they gathered together.
They performed their own duties and developed more efficient stoves, forgings and other equipment, and the equipment produced higher-level swords and weapons.
It can be said to be the arsenal of Mino.
But now they and Saito Yoshiro are full of martial arts, so there is no need to go. And it is time that raids. Who has the time to go to the arsenal during the raid?
But Lane's hand with Alon Dai was not shaken. "What is the most important thing for both the enemy and us to ensure in marching and fighting?" Lan En ignored the question and asked quickly.
Akechi Mitsuhide's orthodox martial arts education made him answer without hesitation: "Food, grass, supplies, your highness. But"
"But you want to say that the monsters don't care about food and supplies, because they can't use them at all. So the methods of dealing with the human army, such as cutting off the food channels and logistics, as long as they can't move that pile of spirit stones, will be useless."
Lan En glanced at Akechi Mitsuhide, as if it was directly touching the hearts of the people. Lan En knew everything he didn't say. "But it's useful."
A Xiu walked up from behind Lan Eun, throwing a bundle of weapons down in her hand.
It is basically a knife with a blade missing and a spear with a broken handle.
These simple and crude weapons were thrown on the ground, but they seemed to be shocked by Akechi Mitsuhide.
He was originally kneeling towards Lan En, and his face was solemn.
"These demonic auras! These are all demonic weapons? Not that would be too weak. And these weapons are too weak. Your Highness, is this?"
"This is the most important logistics of Saito Yoshiro."
Lan Eun kicked a knife from the ground and went to Akichi Mitsuhide's hand.
"The monsters are fierce and bloodthirsty, but most of them are not stupid enough to have weapons. Haha, the monkeys know to smash walnuts with stones." "Ape ghosts, demon ghosts, dead warriors, and heretic soldiers have no weapons, their tempers will probably be twice as popular." "Saito Yoshiro did not rely on those piles of spirit stones to summon all the monsters in the deep mountains and forests in Mino. Look at the quality of these weapons. In that monster army, at least 70% or 80% were monsters she created with spirit stones."
The weapons of monsters have always been a very long-range area in the stories circulating in Japan since ancient times.
For example, the [Ghost Golden Stick] of Shuitun Boy, one of the three great monsters in Japan.
Some of the monster's weapons are found from the remains of humans in the mountains and forests like apes and ghosts.
Some are like bullhead ghosts and horsehead ghosts, which are already covered with full clothes when they appear.
People say that it is the equipment they put on in the dark world of the Yellow Springs. After all, in the legend of the Japanese side, the bull-headed and horse-faced man also served as the official position of detainee of evil ghosts in Huangquan.
But the similarity between the two is that those weapons are either composed entirely of demonic energy or are completely immersed in demonic energy. It can be said to be part of the monster.
So when they are alive, no matter how much they use those weapons, they will not be damaged or beaten down. Correspondingly, attacks can also weaken them when they hit weapons and armor.
But after the monster died, its body turned into foul air and disappeared, and the weapons and cloaks that looked like iron were not left behind.
The [demonic weapon] mentioned by Akichi Mitsuhide before was partly made of materials with strong demonic energy on monsters and was forged by the knife craftsman.
Part of it is a special situation by chance. Sometimes the weapons can be captured from the hands of the armed monster and left behind.
There are also some of them that they have cut down more weapons, or have strange encounters, and they have become monsters.
Lan En said that in the monster army, there are many newly transformed monsters because of these weapons.
How many monsters did they kill along the way? And all the weapons in the hands of these monsters were left behind.
It is obvious that these weapons were neither brought from Huangquan nor were completely infected by the demonic energy. They just looked like they had just started it!
No mistakes, one poem, one post, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one read!
So it is not taken away together when the monsters dissipate.
The monster that was just created was attracted by the spirit stones and by these scattered weapons.
This allows those irritable and crazy monsters to barely move in one direction and become a monster legion.
Amatsu Hirohide is also a talent who is proficient in Yin-Yang Technique and has his own insights into the harmony of spirit stones and Yin-Yang.
After he was guided by Lan En and observed the weapons in his hand, he immediately understood Lan En's meaning.
"But these monsters will inevitably fight internally when they get together! The curling blades and cracks on them are evidence!"
Akechi Mitsuhide's eyes shined. "Their weapons are very much lost! The melting pot of Mount Tai is the only place where Mino can bear these losses at the moment!"
It is not a simple task for monsters to completely immerse their weapons with demonic energy.
The ape ghost can only complete it in the deep mountains and forests. The demon ghost who broke into Shisanying Village had a spirit stone the size of a palm that was directly held on his body to wrap the demonic energy on the knife so quickly, and it was not considered assimilation.
How can these monsters gathered into legions have these conditions now?
Perhaps, Saito Yoshiro deliberately did not give them these conditions. After all, if you can use weapons to induce the monsters, the formations of the monsters are not too outrageous.
If there were no weapons, people would know how far they could spread.
"Ah!" Fujiro stood up with great enlightenment at this moment, "If this is the case, as long as the weapons are controlled, even if the monsters are still guided to Iwamura Castle, it will be easier to deal with them without weapons!"
"Your Highness!" Akihi Mitsuhide immediately knelt on one knee and looked up at Lan En, "Treading the Mountain is closer to us than Iwamura Castle! Please let me lead two thousand people down and go to recover the Forging Roof of the Mountain!"
"I will divide a thousand people." Lan En said lightly, "The most elite thousand people must at least force their troops to Treading the Mountain. But it is not your lead."
Akechi Mitsuhide, who was originally going to bow his head and take the order, looked up in shock when he heard this and happened to see Lan En pointing at him.
"We are grabbing time, Mitsuhide. So we have to directly defeat and suppress the resistance of the mountain like a hammer smashing walnuts!"
The witch hunter calmly stated the facts: "You can't do it, only I can do it here."
"After all, as the most important baggage, even if Saito Yoshiro is in a bad mind, he will never stop sending heavy troops to guard it. The craftsmen there are good talents, and I will save as much as I can."
"But if you lead troops to attack, I'm afraid there will be a stalemate there that is so few living people left."
"But Your Highness!" Akichi Mitsuhide was in a state of great emotion, "As a general, how can you?"
Lan En whispered before he could finish speaking, "Isn't it because you are not responsible?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of armor colliding suddenly rang.
Everyone in the entire array, except Wuming and Ah Xiu, even Fujiro hurriedly knelt down on one knee at Lan En with a "swish".
"Subordinate is incompetent!" *N
A voice of panic and self-blame came out, and even the noise outside the formation seemed to have fallen into a brief silence due to the movements and stillness in the formation.
Lan En didn't say much, because his goal had been achieved.
Never object to his plan next.
Lan En can take different leadership strategies based on his subordinates' different personalities and cultural backgrounds.
Faced with the Knights of Embers, Lincoln and the others would understand what to persuade Lan En when they saw Lan En's face, and what to persuade him would be useless.
However, in the magical Japanese Warring States Period, appropriate pressure was a very effective way of leadership.
Of course, becoming a pressure monster like Oda Nobunaga that can drive people crazy is another manifestation of the leader's incompetence. "You must be in place as soon as possible, Fujiro, Mitsuhide." Lan En's eyes were obviously very calm, but they couldn't help swallowing. "The monsters in the cluster must be wiped out by the army of the cluster, and at least they must constrain the scope of their escape." "Otherwise, even if they win, it is hard to say how many people the scattered monsters can kill...."
So no sound came forward that night to persuade Lan En.
The next morning, the thousand foot lights that were allocated were pulled out before dawn.
I didn't bring any supplies, I didn't bring any tents, cooking utensils, etc., but only food rations.
After all, in Lan En's eyes, he could just live in a house after he set up a mountain. What kind of marching tent is needed?
The whole day was marching, and when it was approaching evening, I arrived at Mount Tai.
